Chapter Summaries

Lin Xuankong learned that the Demon Suppressing Immortal Chariot accelerated time and that Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu had arranged a vast supply of artifact materials while preparing for the coming war. After spending nearly a year cultivating inside the chariot, he told his family he could not get Yan Mingyu to teach him formations, and Li Xiaolan offered to devise a solution.

• The White-foreheaded Qilin explained the chariot's twenty-fourfold time flow, and Lin Xuankong considered how studying the Luoshui Cave Heaven Grand Array might help him develop even greater time acceleration.
• Lin Xuankong warned the White-foreheaded Qilin and Green-foreheaded Qilin that traitors might reveal Yan Mingyu's plans, but the White-foreheaded Qilin assured him Yan Mingyu had made preparations.
• The White-foreheaded Qilin ordered the Western Region's sects to provide monthly materials for Early Stage Immortal Artifacts, and five allied sects volunteered to pay for their quotas themselves.
• Jiang Huanglong and the Lingding Immortal Sect's Earth Immortals worried about Yan Mingyu's arrival and planned to report her array plans to the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect.
• After more than ten days outside the chariot, Lin Xuankong visited his family and the Lin Family Seven Tigers inside its accelerated-time realm, where Xiao Ying'er had reached Early Earth Immortal Perfection.
• Li Xiaolan asked what was troubling Lin Xuankong, and after he explained that he could not get Yan Mingyu to teach him formations, she offered to give him an idea.

Li Xiaolan proposed that Lin Xuankong win Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu's guidance by demonstrating exceptional formation talent, and Lin reviewed his rapid progress before setting out to meet her. Yan Mingyu learned that her Qilin spirit beasts doubted Mu Shiba's artifact-refining ability, defended him, and then sensed someone approaching the Immortal Chariot's cave-heaven world.

• Li Xiaolan argued that Yan Mingyu might teach Lin Xuankong formations if he displayed talent impressive enough to catch her attention, and Xiao Xiuyi and the others praised Lin's abilities.
• Lin Xuankong checked his cultivation and formation progress, noting that his Thousand Crane Array had reached the Sixth Level and could withstand attacks from Sixth Grade Earth Immortals.
• Lin Xuankong left the secret realm and returned to the cave-heaven world, where the Green-foreheaded Qilin questioned whether Mu Shiba could truly forge Immortal Artifacts.
• Yan Mingyu emerged from the Jade Bamboo Building, admonished the Qilin spirit beasts for doubting Mu Shiba, and said that careful observation could reveal the truth.
• Yan Mingyu sensed someone at the entrance to the Immortal Chariot's Grotto-Heaven world and looked toward it in puzzlement.

Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu discovered that Lin Xuankong had constructed a Sixth-grade Thousand Crane Array and was astonished by his array talent. Impressed, she invited him to study arrays with her and brought him into the Green Bamboo Tower, where he hoped to learn more about the Luoshui Cave Heaven Grand Array.

• Yan Mingyu sensed a powerful array near Lin Xuankong's Cave Dwelling, and the two Qilins accompanied her to investigate.
• Yan Mingyu and the Qilins found Lin Xuankong's mountain enclosed by a Sixth-grade Thousand Crane Array that used eighteen Early Stage Immortal Artifacts as its array eyes.

• Yan Mingyu praised Lin Xuankong's array talent and agreed to share her insights with him whenever he sought her guidance.
• Yan Mingyu took Lin Xuankong into the Green Bamboo Tower, while the Qilins speculated that she might eventually teach him the Luoshui Cave Heaven Grand Array.

Lin Xuankong received Yan Mingyu’s array formation insights and watched her transform his Sixth Grade Thousand Crane Array into a Seventh Grade formation, rapidly advancing his own mastery. After twelve years inside the Demon Suppressing Immortal Chariot, he had memorized all six jade slips, and further changes in his cultivation and array mastery remained to be revealed.

• Yan Mingyu gave Lin Xuankong six jade slips of array insights, offered to answer questions, and said he must master Ninth Grade Sect Protecting Grand Arrays before studying the Luoshui Divine Map.
• Yan Mingyu severed Lin Xuankong’s connection to eighteen Early Stage Immortal Artifacts, then used them to demonstrate a Seventh Grade Thousand Crane Array, raising his formation progress from 879 to 1187.
• Lin Xuankong gave the eighteen artifacts to Yan Mingyu, returned to his Cave Dwelling, and began studying the jade slips while keeping his large stock of artifacts secret.
• Twelve years passed inside the Demon Suppressing Immortal Chariot, during which Lin Xuankong memorized all six jade slips and his Old and Cunning talent increased his cultivation speed bonus to eightyfold.

After twelve years of cultivation, Lin Xuankong and his family had grown dramatically, and he had awakened two talents that made his attacks especially dangerous against powerful, ancient opponents. The Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s invasion had already devastated the Eastern Region, while twelve Western Region immortal sects betrayed their allies and threatened further bloodshed.

• Lin Xuankong reviewed his progress, including reaching Second Grade Earth Immortal Perfection, filling his Immortal Essence reserve, and developing his Ninth-Rank Heavenly Demon Bone secret realm.
• Lin Xuankong assessed how [Bully the Old and Weak] and [Hit the Old Cow from Across the Mountain] could let him overwhelm older opponents and bypass their defenses.

• The White-foreheaded Qilin reported that twelve Western Region immortal sects had attacked and plundered ten smaller sects, massacring cultivators and demanding that the region surrender to the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect.
• Lin Xuankong reacted with anger upon learning that the twelve sects, including the Lingding Immortal Sect and Xuanqing Immortal Sect, had threatened to turn the Western Region into a sea of blood.

Lin Xuankong volunteered to pursue the twelve rebellious sects after Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu decided she might have to leave the Demon Suppressing Immortal Chariot and end its twenty-fourfold time flow. Armed with the Buddha Summoning Jade Talisman and accompanied by two Qilin, he set out to reassure the gathered Western Region Earth Immortals, who gained hope when they learned the Green-foreheaded Qilin had reached Seventh Grade.

• The White-foreheaded Qilin reported that the Lingding Immortal Sect, Xuanqing Immortal Sect, and ten other sects had destroyed ten sects, leaving the Western Region's Immortal Sects panicked and unable to locate the attackers.
• Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu concluded that she might need to leave the Demon Suppressing Immortal Chariot to capture the traitors, even though doing so would end its twenty-fourfold time flow.
• Lin Xuankong revealed his Second Grade cultivation and the Buddha Summoning Jade Talisman, then persuaded Yan Mingyu to let him lead the pursuit with the White-foreheaded Qilin and the newly advanced Green-foreheaded Qilin.
• Lin Xuankong and the two Qilin arrived at the Crane Immortal Sect's hall, where over two hundred Earth Immortals voiced concern about their mission and the possibility of demonic artifacts.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin announced her Seventh Grade strength, lifting the assembled Earth Immortals' hopes as they congratulated her.

Lin Xuankong joined the White-foreheaded Qilin, the Green-foreheaded Qilin, and several Earth Immortals to hunt the traitors from Lingding Immortal Sect and eleven allied sects. After lending the Green-foreheaded Qilin his Third-Grade Immortal Artifact, the group reached the ruined One Yang Immortal Sect, where they found evidence of a demonic massacre and learned of a Dragon Blood Fruit that might strengthen the Spirit Soul.

• Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'er and the Earth Immortals voiced concern for Lin Xuankong, while the White-foreheaded Qilin chose Sui He, Qing He, Cang He, Chi Liuxia, and Five Elements Wanderer to accompany their pursuit.
• Five Elements Wanderer said the twelve sects could hide in Heavenly Demon Bone secret realms, so the White-foreheaded Qilin decided to investigate the massacred sects for clues rather than wait for another attack.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin proposed using Lin Xuankong's Third-Grade Immortal Artifact to take demonic traces to Luoshui Immortal Sect, and Lin Xuankong readily lent it to her.
• Two days later, the group arrived at One Yang Immortal Sect and found its city and spiritual peaks reduced to ruins, with corpses and demonic smoke throughout the area.
• Lin Xuankong secretly tracked Jiang Huanglong and the other traitors inside a Heavenly Demon Bone secret realm, while the Green-foreheaded Qilin collected the demonic smoke so Luoshui Immortal Sect could trace them.
• Sui He recounted how One Yang Immortal Sect's founder Wang Qizhen had gained a Dragon Blood Fruit, and Lin Xuankong considered recovering Wang Qizhen's remains to learn where the fruit could be found.

Lin Xuankong and the Luoshui Immortal Sect’s allies tracked the traitors from thirteen sects to a secret realm beneath the ruined Lingding Immortal Sect and confronted them. Jiang Huanglong revealed the Saint General Grade Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone, injured Five Elements Wanderer, and left the gathering facing the threat of a battle.

• The White-foreheaded Qilin buried the corpses at One Yang Immortal City while Elder Suihe lamented the suffering the coming Immortal-Demon War would bring.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin returned from the Luoshui Immortal Sect with the Nine Profound Universe Stone’s deduction that the traitors were hiding beneath Nine Cauldrons Mountain.
• Chi Liuxia used his wine gourd to blast open the ground, and nearly two hundred Earth Immortals from the Lingding Immortal Sect and twelve other sects emerged.
• Jiang Huanglong released a black skull-shaped demonic artifact and used its smoke to block Five Elements Wanderer’s strike and injure him.
• The White-foreheaded Qilin identified the artifact as the Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone, and the traitors mocked their opponents as the Green-foreheaded Qilin prepared to fight.

Jiang Huanglong used the Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone to transform and overpower the Green-foreheaded Qilin, while Lin Xuankong remained unfazed by his threats. As Jiang Huanglong challenged Lin Xuankong to use his artifacts, Lin Xuankong reached into his Ghost Doll Pouch and asked how old he was.

• The Green-foreheaded Qilin activated her forbidden bloodline power and unleashed Kirin True Fire against Jiang Huanglong.
• Jiang Huanglong revealed that the Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone had become a high-grade demonic artifact and broke through the Qilin True Fire to wound the Green-foreheaded Qilin.

• Jiang Huanglong demanded that the group surrender and kneel, while Lin Xuankong asked why Jiang had not offered him the same chance to live.
• Jiang Huanglong challenged Lin Xuankong to use his Buddha Summoning Jade Talisman and Third-Grade Immortal Artifact, and Lin Xuankong reached into his Ghost Doll Pouch and asked Jiang how old he was.

Lin Xuankong used the eighth layer of the Thousand Crane Array to confront Jiang Huanglong and his Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone. Their first clash devastated the battlefield and killed or injured many Earth Immortals, leaving the surviving traitors waiting to see who had prevailed.

• Lin Xuankong summoned the array spirit Spirit Crane, which met Jiang Huanglong's strike in a collision that shattered space and sent nearly two hundred Earth Immortals crashing underground.
• More than sixty Early Earth Immortals died, and the surviving traitors watched the mushroom cloud to learn whether Jiang Huanglong or Spirit Crane had gained the upper hand.

Lin Xuankong’s eighthfold Thousand Crane Array defeated Jiang Huanglong, but the Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone broke and unleashed its resentful souls. Jiang Jiaolong intervened, revealed his demonic power, and began overpowering the array spirit crane, leaving Lin Xuankong’s side facing a new threat.

• The array spirit crane emerged from the smoke largely unharmed while Jiang Huanglong was reduced to a black skeleton and his Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone began to crack.
• Millions of resentful souls burst from the artifact, devoured Jiang Huanglong’s bones, and shattered his body, golden core, and demonic weapon.
• Jiang Jiaolong revealed his allegiance to the Profound Yin Sacred Sect and used black demonic flames to rescue Jiang Huanglong’s golden core and the Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone while burning the attacking souls.
• Lin Xuankong expanded the Thousand Crane Array’s barrier to protect most of the resentful souls from Jiang Jiaolong’s flames.
• Jiang Jiaolong transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang armored demon, dodged the array spirit crane’s strike, and burned its body with a black flame pillar before piercing it with his claws.

Lin Xuankong faced the revealed Feng Huolin Nine, a powerful demon general possessing Jiang Jiaolong’s body, and chose to fight rather than flee. After summoning another Thousand Crane Array and secretly amplifying his strength, Lin sent its spirit crane to attack, leaving Feng Huolin Nine stunned as an unexpectedly swift peck struck his supposedly invulnerable armor.

• Jiang Jiaolong swallowed the first Thousand Crane Array’s spirit crane and threatened to devour the White-foreheaded Qilin and Green-foreheaded Qilin.
• The qilins urged Lin Xuankong to escape and explained that Jiang Jiaolong’s body had been taken over by a terrifying demon general.

• Lin Xuankong activated his Great Enhancement Technique and Bully the Old and Weak talents as Feng Huolin Nine challenged the spirit crane to attack his armor.
• Feng Huolin Nine attacked the spirit crane, but its sudden speed let it peck his forehead before he could react.

Lin Xuankong used the Eighth Layer Thousand Crane Array’s crane spirit to strike down Demon General Feng Huolin Nine, whose body and Black Soul Demonic Armor were destroyed when the spirit self-destructed. The remaining Demon General’s Heart transformed into a manifestation of the Feng Huolin Demon Lord, who targeted Lin Xuankong with a spiritual attack and confronted him over killing his ninth demon son.

• Lin Xuankong’s crane array spirit struck Feng Huolin Nine with overwhelming force, and the shockwave killed or grievously injured many Earth Immortals who had retreated nearby.
• The crane array spirit self-destructed, annihilating Feng Huolin Nine’s body and armor while leaving behind a severely cracked Demon General’s Heart.
• The White-foreheaded Qilin explained that Feng Huolin Nine’s demonic soul had been destroyed, and the others marveled that Lin Xuankong had killed a Ninth-Grade demonic artifact-level Demon General.
• The Demon General’s Heart crumbled into demonic energy that formed a giant horned face, whose spiritual attack forced Chi Liuxia, the qilins, and the elders to their knees.
• Lin Xuankong resisted the attack with help from his Heavenly Demon Bone, and the face identified him as Feng Huolin Nine’s killer and revealed that it belonged to the Feng Huolin Demon Lord.

Lin Xuankong survived Demon Lord Feng Huolin’s long-range spiritual attack, but the assault severely injured his spirit soul and left him facing a dangerous weakness before the coming war. After learning that Dragon Blood Fruit could heal spirit soul injuries, he and his companions considered searching for it, though its whereabouts were rare and tied to the One Yang Immortal Sect’s tragic past.

• Demon Lord Feng Huolin’s spiritual attack incapacitated the White-foreheaded Qilin, Green-foreheaded Qilin, Chi Liuxia, Five Elements Wanderer, and elders Sui He, Qing He, and Cang He while Lin Xuankong struggled to reach his Golden Patterned Ghost Frog Sac.
• The attack stopped when the remaining demonic qi in Feng Huolin Nine’s Demon General’s Heart was exhausted, and Feng Huolin threatened to hunt Lin Xuankong down for killing his ninth son.
• Lin Xuankong resolved to face Feng Huolin in the coming Immortal-Demon War, then discovered that his spirit soul had fallen from the fifth grade to the Fourth Grade Late Stage.

• Lin Xuankong asked how to heal and strengthen spirit souls, and Elder Suihe recalled that Wang Qizhen had found Dragon Blood Fruit, which could restore spirit soul injuries.
• The White-foreheaded Qilin explained that Dragon Blood Fruit was exceptionally rare, while Elder Suihe noted that Wang Qizhen and the One Yang Immortal Sect had been destroyed by Jiang Jiaolong and their spirits refined into the Nine Resentment Rakshasa Bone.

Lin Xuankong used the Great Samsara Technique to restore the memories of millions of resentful souls by reincarnating them as demon foxes, and learned that Wang Qizhen had found a Heavenly Demon Blood Fruit tree deep in the Boundless Mountains. He resolved to journey there himself to find it.

• After Jiang Jiaolong's death, the resentful souls began dissipating, and the White-foreheaded Qilin and others doubted Lin Xuankong could recover their memories.
• Lin Xuankong took the resentful souls into a Heavenly Demon Bone secret realm and reincarnated them into demon foxes, restoring their memories and Spirit Souls.
• Lin Xuankong found Wang Qizhen among the revived souls and learned that he had discovered a Blood-colored Mist region deep in the Boundless Mountains.

• Lin Xuankong told the group about Wang Qizhen's discovery and decided to travel deep into the Boundless Mountains to seek the tree.

Lin Xuankong decided to enter the depths of the Boundless Mountains to find the Heavenly Demon Blood Fruit Tree, despite warnings that the tree lay inside the deadly Blood-colored Mist Land. The two Qilin Immortals chose to accompany him, and the White-foreheaded Qilin warned that they would first have to pass the Baxia Clan’s test.

• Elder Suihe, Qing He, and Cang He warned Lin Xuankong that entering the Boundless Mountains could violate an ancient pact and provoke powerful Demon Kings or Demon Emperors, but Lin Xuankong refused to turn back.
• The White-foreheaded Qilin and Green-foreheaded Qilin agreed to accompany Lin Xuankong, and the Green-foreheaded Qilin revealed that their Qilin Clan had come from the Boundless Mountains.

• The White-foreheaded Qilin explained that the Blood-colored Mist Land was one of the Four Great Lands of Immortal Demise, where Earth Immortals faced deadly dangers, but Lin Xuankong resolved to enter it after suppressing his realm.
• The two Qilin Immortals committed to entering the Blood-colored Mist Land with Lin Xuankong, and the White-foreheaded Qilin warned him that they first had to pass the Baxia Clan’s test.

Lin Xuankong, the White-foreheaded Qilin, and the Green-foreheaded Qilin traveled to Kirin Spirit Mountain to seek the Kirin Clan's help with entering the Blood-colored Mist forbidden region without provoking the Baxia Clan during the Immortal-Demon War. The Kirin Clan welcomed the two returning kirin, then learned that Feng Huolin's distant spiritual attack had injured all three travelers and that the war's danger was greater than expected.

• The Green-foreheaded Qilin warned Lin Xuankong that the Blood-colored Mist forbidden region lay partly in Baxia Clan territory and partly in Ya Zi Clan territory, and the group agreed they could not risk a conflict with either clan during the war.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin proposed visiting Kirin Valley so the Kirin Clan's chief and elders could negotiate with the Baxia Clan; Lin Xuankong agreed to travel there with the two kirin.
• Lin Xuankong learned from the White-foreheaded Qilin that the Spirit Beast clans were powerful but had small populations because their members reproduced only after tens of thousands of years.
• The old Kirin Clan chief and dozens of peak Demon King kirin welcomed the White-foreheaded Qilin and Green-foreheaded Qilin, and the chief revealed that he had saved thousands of green-scaled fruits for them.
• The two returning kirin and Lin Xuankong told the Kirin Clan leaders that Feng Huolin's spiritual demonic art had injured their Spirit Souls from hundreds of millions of miles away, prompting the chief to warn that the Immortal-Demon War's outlook was grim.

The Kirin Clan debated the dangers of the Immortal-Demon War and learned that the Heavenly Demon Blood Fruit tree lay in the Baxia Clan’s Blood-colored Mist forbidden ground. Lin Xuankong offered immortal artifacts to secure passage, but after learning he was a peerless artifact-refining prodigy, the Kirin Clan’s old clan leader agreed to help him and the two Qilins.

• The Kirin Clan’s old clan leader and Demon Kings worried that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect could threaten the Ten Thousand Demon Domain, while the Green-foreheaded Qilin said Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu’s preparations could help the immortal realm.
• The White-foreheaded Qilin told the old clan leader that she, the Green-foreheaded Qilin, and Lin Xuankong sought the Heavenly Demon Blood Fruit tree to heal their Spirit Soul injuries.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin revealed that the tree stood in the Blood-colored Mist forbidden ground within the powerful and hostile Baxia Clan’s territory.

• Lin Xuankong offered several Early Stage Immortal Artifacts, but the Kirin Clan’s elders objected to giving them to the Baxia Clan.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin revealed Lin Xuankong’s reputation as a super artifact refining master, prompting the old clan leader to refuse the artifacts and decisively promise the Kirin Clan’s help.

Lin Xuankong and five Kirin Immortals entered the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Ground to search for a Heavenly Demon Blood Fruit tree, despite the danger and the mist’s ability to block sight and drain immortal essence. Outside, the Baxia Clan suspected the Kirin party had discovered a clue to the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Heavenly Demon’s heart’s blood and considered tracking them.

• The White-foreheaded Qilin offered its immortal artifact to the Kirin Clan's Old Clan Leader, and Lin Xuankong agreed to repay it with refined immortal artifacts.

• Lin Xuankong and the five Kirin Immortals entered the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Ground, while the Kirin Clan's Old Clan Leader watched anxiously from outside.
• The Baxia Clan Leader suspected the Kirin party sought the Heavenly Demon Blood Fruit trees or the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Heavenly Demon's heart's blood, then asked Ganggu whether it could track them through the mist.

The Baxia Clan sent Gang Gu and four elders into the Blood-colored Mist Forbidden Ground to hunt Lin Xuankong and the Kirin party and secure the Heavenly Demon treasures. Inside, Lin Xuankong spotted ten dead ninth-grade Spirit Cat demons killed by an unknown force, and the group retreated in fear.
