Chapter Summaries

Guang Yu'er broke through to the Supreme Immortal Lord realm and used the Guangqing Extreme Cold Art to protect Lin Xuankong and the others from the Myriad Law Immortal Sect. As Sima Ling trapped them in the Blood Banner Myriad Demon Array, Lin Xuankong assessed the formation while Guang Yu'er urged him to flee into her secret realm.

• Guang Yu'er’s anger helped her mobilize her immortal essence, and she revealed she had become an Early Stage Supreme Immortal Lord after consuming Seven-Leaf Spirit Tea.
• Guang Yu'er confronted Sima Ling, but he argued that the Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruit shell’s effects weakened her spirit soul and limited her strength.
• Sima Ling and the other Myriad Law Immortal Sect Earth Immortals activated the Blood Banner Myriad Demon Array, surrounding the group with vengeful demon souls.
• Guang Yu'er formed a barrier of cold air and urged Lin Xuankong to take Guang Ling'er, the two Qilins, and Qu Yunshang into her Heavenly Demon Bone secret realm.
• Lin Xuankong judged that the formation was incomplete and that Guang Yu'er could break it, while she warned him that her barrier was close to failing.
• Sima Ling taunted Lin Xuankong and demanded that he surrender, threatening Guang Yu'er with grievous injuries if he refused.

Lin Xuankong refused to flee into the Heavenly Demon Bone secret realm and trapped Sima Ling and the other twenty-seven Myriad Law Immortal Sect elders in a powerful array, despite the Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruit’s poison weakening Guang Yu'er. As the attackers pressed their assault, Lin Xuankong revealed that he could wield the Guangqing Extreme Cold Art, leaving Sima Ling baffled.

• Guang Yu'er opened the Heavenly Demon Bone secret realm and sent the Green-foreheaded Qilin, the White-foreheaded Qilin, Guang Ling'er, and Qu Yunshang inside, but Lin Xuankong stayed behind.
• Sima Ling mocked Guang Yu'er and ordered the Myriad Law Immortal Sect elders to intensify their attacks, while Lin Xuankong revealed he was unaffected by the Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruit’s effects.
• Lin Xuankong released thirty-six Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts and trapped himself, Guang Yu'er, and all twenty-eight attackers inside a Nine-layered Thousand Crane Array.
• Sima Ling urged his followers to keep attacking Guang Yu'er's dwindling cold-energy defense, hoping to capture her and Lin Xuankong and seize the artifacts.
• Lin Xuankong formed a strand of cold energy resembling the Guangqing Extreme Cold Art, and Sima Ling wondered how he had obtained its inheritance.

Lin Xuankong revealed that he had mastered the Guangqing Extreme Cold Art far beyond what Guang Yu'er thought possible, while Myriad Law Immortal Sect elders mocked him for relying on it as a Fourth-grade Earth Immortal. He declared that he would freeze them all without activating the Nine-layered Thousand Crane Array, leaving Second Elder Sima Ling uneasy about Lin Xuankong's confidence.

• Lin Xuankong displayed a wisp of frigid energy that Guang Yu'er recognized as proof he had reached at least Major Mastery in the Guangqing Extreme Cold Art.
• Guang Yu'er marveled that Lin Xuankong had achieved such mastery in little more than a hundred years, while Lin Xuankong privately reflected that he had reached true Great Perfection.
• Second Elder Sima Ling and the other twenty-seven Ninth Grade Perfection Level Earth Immortals dismissed Lin Xuankong's frigid energy and mocked him as they attacked Guang Yu'er's defenses.
• Guang Yu'er grew furious at the taunts, but Lin Xuankong remained calm and told her he would freeze the Myriad Law Immortal Sect cultivators to make them quiet.
• The Myriad Law Immortal Sect cultivators challenged Lin Xuankong to attack them, while Second Elder Sima Ling began to suspect that something was wrong.

Lin Xuankong secretly sent Guangqing Extreme Cold Art chill into all twenty-eight Ninth Grade Perfection Level Earth Immortals of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect while they mistook the harmless-looking attack for a failure. He unleashed the chill within their bodies, freezing them all solid, and Guang Yu'er realized he had mastered the art to the Perfection realm despite cultivating it for only a little over a hundred years.

• Lin Xuankong sent a wisp of chill through fourteen Myriad Law Immortal Sect Earth Immortals, who found no immediate damage and dismissed it as harmless.
• Lin Xuankong sent another wisp through the remaining fourteen Earth Immortals, threading it past their defenses and into Second Elder Sima Ling.
• Sima Ling urged his fellow disciples to keep attacking Guang Yu'er's chill defense, believing it would soon collapse.
• Lin Xuankong detonated the chill inside all twenty-eight Earth Immortals, freezing them solid and causing their arrays, demon wraiths, and artifacts to fall.
• Guang Yu'er recognized that Lin Xuankong's chill had reached the Perfection realm and questioned how he had mastered the art so quickly.

After Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er defeated Sima Ling’s plot, they confronted him about his alliance with the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect and the fate of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect. Guang Yu'er refused to spare the sect, even after Sima Ling offered his hidden treasures, including thirty-six Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruits.

• The twenty-seven frozen Earth Immortals of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect shattered, and Lin Xuankong thawed Sima Ling enough to question him.
• Sima Ling admitted that he and the other twenty-seven elders had acted alone, without informing the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s Sect Master or First Elder.
• Lin Xuankong threatened to destroy the Myriad Law Immortal Sect, while Guang Yu'er vowed to wipe out its cultivators and disciples for attacking him.
• Sima Ling swore that the rest of the sect knew nothing of his dealings with the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, but Guang Yu'er still resolved to report the plot to the Supreme Immortal Lords.
• Sima Ling offered his hidden treasures to preserve the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s legacy and revealed that he had stored thirty-six Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruits.
• Lin Xuankong was tempted by the fruits, but Guang Yu'er continued toward the council hall and rejected Sima Ling’s offer as insufficient to save the sect.

Sima Ling tried to save the Myriad Law Immortal Sect by offering hidden treasures, but Guang Yu'er only stopped when he revealed a secret about the coming Immortal-Demon War. As Sima Ling described the Upper Realm and the countless worlds spawned by the Supreme Primordial Realm, Lin Xuankong wondered whether his lost azure-planet homeland existed among them.

• Sima Ling offered Guang Yu'er the locations of thirty-six Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruits and the Myriad Law Immortal Sect's collected immortal arts, but she continued toward the council hall.
• Sima Ling warned that he knew a secret that could determine the Immortal-Demon War's outcome, causing Guang Yu'er to return with Lin Xuankong and hear him out.
• Sima Ling said the Third Demon Lord had told him that the Heavenly Demon Thousand Illusions Sacred Monarch projected power and information from the Upper Realm, and that the Immortal Realm was one of countless worlds within the Supreme Primordial Realm.
• Sima Ling described worlds with strange beings and worlds that lacked immortal essence, prompting Lin Xuankong to recall his former life on the azure planet and wonder whether he could return there.

Sima Ling explained to Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s ancient Heavenly Demon power was the Curse of Time, which could add vast amounts of cultivation and strength to demons. He revealed that the curse also had a terrifying offensive effect, leaving its full danger still unknown.

• Lin Xuankong insisted that Sima Ling continue explaining, while Guang Yu'er suspected he was stalling for time.
• Sima Ling said the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s war was backed by the ancient Heavenly Demon Thousand Illusions Sacred Monarch and its Curse of Time.
• Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er questioned how the curse could surpass the time-altering New Luoshui Great Array.
• Sima Ling revealed that Demon Son Gang Gu had used the curse to grant each Ninth Grade Demon Artifact Grade Demon General a hundred thousand years of cultivation, explaining why Guang Yu'er could not injure them at the Crane Immortal Sect.
• Sima Ling said Gang Gu had also enhanced every Devil Master with the curse and warned that it possessed an extremely powerful offensive effect.

Sima Ling revealed that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s Curse of Time could strengthen Devil Race cultivators through blood sacrifices and curse opponents by consuming lifespan. Lin Xuankong reassured Sima Ling about the uninvolved members of his sect, then learned how dangerous the curse could be and considered increasing his own lifespan before the coming war.

• Sima Ling explained that the Curse of Time could grant immense cultivation at the cost of blood-sacrificing living beings, which the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect had abducted cultivators to do.
• Lin Xuankong compared the curse with his Old and Cunning talent and argued that his artifact-refining could still help the human race resist the invasion.
• Lin Xuankong asked Sima Ling about the curse’s offensive effects, and promised not to harm Myriad Law Immortal Sect members who had not colluded with the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect.
• Sima Ling said the curse could rapidly age a target by attacking their lifespan, with its strength depending on the blood sacrifice or the caster’s own lifespan.
• Guang Yu'er worried that the curse could kill Lin Xuankong, while Lin Xuankong realized his five-million-year lifespan might not withstand repeated curses from the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s Devil Masters and resolved to seek lifespan-extending spirit fruits or medicines.

Sima Ling revealed the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s interest in Lin Xuankong’s artifact-refining skill and gave up the locations of promised treasures in exchange for mercy for his sect. Guang Yu’er retrieved the treasures, and Lin Xuankong crippled Sima Ling while leaving him a chance to reincarnate with his memories.

• Sima Ling explained that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect wanted Lin Xuankong because his artifact-refining skill could help them create powerful demonic artifacts.
• Sima Ling disclosed that thirty-six Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruits and the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s jade slips were hidden in two caverns, and Guang Yu’er promised to spare the sect’s disciples if his information proved true.
• Guang Yu’er went alone to the Seventy-Two Caverns perilous region, while Lin Xuankong secretly used the Nine Gates Heavenly Eye to track her.
• Guang Yu’er returned with the treasures, and Lin Xuankong revealed that he had known where she was and warned her not to activate the Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruits.
• Lin Xuankong said Sima Ling’s information might earn him mercy but stripped away his cultivation, shattering his immortal body while preserving his cracked Golden Core and remnant soul.

Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er discussed the threat of Thousand Illusions Sacred Monarch's power and the coming Immortal-Demon War, with Lin Xuankong determined to gain experience rather than avoid the fighting. After Guang Yu'er gave him all thirty-six Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruits to bolster his lifespan against the Curse of Time, he prepared to seek more Seven-Leaf Spirit Tea for him.

• Guang Yu'er warned Lin Xuankong that the Immortal-Demon War would be catastrophic and urged him to avoid direct battles, but he wanted to witness Thousand Illusions Sacred Monarch's Heavenly Demon Power firsthand.
• Guang Yu'er challenged Lin Xuankong's confidence that he would ascend to the Supreme Primordial Realm, while he privately knew his Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifact gave him strong odds of surviving the final heavenly tribulation.
• Lin Xuankong decided to remain in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm for now, strengthen himself, and prepare for the war rather than rush to ascend.
• Guang Yu'er presented Lin Xuankong with thirty-six Nine-Pattern Bodhi Fruits, which could greatly increase his lifespan.
• When Lin Xuankong offered her ten fruits, Guang Yu'er returned them and insisted that he needed every one to withstand Gang Gu's Curse of Time.
• Guang Yu'er planned to ask her Master, Immortal Lord Kunyuan, and Guang Ling'er to share their Seven-Leaf Spirit Tea with Lin Xuankong.

Lin Xuankong agreed to let Guang Yu'er negotiate with the Guangqing Immortal Sect for Seven-Leaf Spirit Tea in exchange for immortal artifacts, while Guang Yu'er gave him the Myriad Law Immortal Sect's immortal art jade slips. She explained the three unusual arts recorded on one slip and left Lin Xuankong considering their potential as war with the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect approached.

• Lin Xuankong decided to trade immortal artifacts for Seven-Leaf Spirit Tea to increase his lifespan ahead of the coming conflict with the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect.
• Guang Yu'er said she would persuade Qianyuan, Kunyuan, Guang Ling'er, and the other Guangqing Immortal Sect elders to accept the exchange, and hoped a few Third-Grade Immortal Artifacts would suffice.
• Guang Yu'er handed Lin Xuankong thousands of Myriad Law Immortal Sect art slips, which he recognized as a far broader collection than the arts he had learned before.
• Guang Yu'er explained that the Myriad Law Immortal Sect had neglected its wider inheritance to pursue three bloody shortcut arts, contributing to the sect's decline.
• Guang Yu'er described the Mysterious Blood Sky Art's lifespan-enhancing potential, the blood-banner formation's power and costs, and introduced the Immortal Beast Integration Art as a particularly powerful fusion art.

Lin Xuankong set aside most of the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s arts while preparing for the coming war, and his lifespan and cultivation surged as he used the New Luoshui Great Array. As the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect army approached the Crane Immortal Sect alongside the Demon Race’s leaders, Lin Xuankong prepared to seek Black Tortoise essence blood and faced the looming conflict with renewed confidence.

• Lin Xuankong decided to copy the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s jade slips before returning them, while Guang Yu'er planned to confront the sect master over Sima Ling’s actions.
• Lin Xuankong spent nearly a year inside the New Luoshui Great Array cultivating, studying immortal arts, and refining immortal artifacts as the Immortal-Demon War’s deadline approached.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin told Lin Xuankong that the four great spirit beast clans’ leaders and many Demon Kings had arrived at the Crane Immortal Sect, while the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect army was also heading there.
• Lin Xuankong saw that his lifespan had risen to over thirty-six million years and felt more confident about confronting Gang Gu’s Curse of Time.
• The White-foreheaded Qilin warned that Black Tortoise Demon Kings might hesitate to give up their essence blood, while the Green-foreheaded Qilin insisted they would agree and that the human race could win without the Demon Kings.

Lin Xuankong arrived at the council hall as the human sects and the Lingtai Buddhist Sect gathered before the Immortal-Demon War. After meeting Jialin Bodhisattva again, he drew the attention of Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva.

• Lin Xuankong arrived with the Green-foreheaded Qilin and White-foreheaded Qilin and learned from Guang Ling'er that Sect Master Qiu and Great Accomplishment Yuzhen Bodhisattva had already reached the council hall.
• The Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas of the Lingtai Buddhist Sect arrived on auspicious clouds, and Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva greeted the waiting Earth Immortals.
• Guang Ling'er praised Yuming Bodhisattva's ability to calm those around her, and Yuming Bodhisattva credited Lin Xuankong's Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts with strengthening the human race.
• Jialin Bodhisattva greeted Lin Xuankong and praised his cultivation and artifact-refining talent, then encouraged him to join the Lingtai Buddhist Sect.
• Lin Xuankong recalled Jialin Bodhisattva's past help and considered how to repay her, while Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva studied him carefully.

Jialin Bodhisattva urged Lin Xuankong to join the Lingtai Buddhist Sect, but Yuming Bodhisattva sensed that his true strength exceeded his disguise and led the group to the war council. There, Sect Master Qiu Hao met Lin Xuankong and reacted with astonishment after examining him.

• Jialin Bodhisattva invited Lin Xuankong to join the Lingtai Buddhist Sect, but Lin Xuankong had no interest in becoming a monk.
• Yuming Bodhisattva warned Jialin that Lin Xuankong was stronger than he appeared, though the other Bodhisattvas could not see through his concealed cultivation.
• Yuming Bodhisattva led Lin Xuankong and the others into the discussion hall, where leaders of the Immortal Realm and the Boundless Mountains had gathered to plan for the Immortal-Demon War.
• Sect Master Qiu Hao welcomed the Lingtai Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Lin Xuankong, and Yan Mingyu brought Lin Xuankong to greet him.
• Qiu Hao examined Lin Xuankong after the greeting and fell silent for a moment, visibly astonished.

At a prewar assembly, Sect Master Qiu secretly recognized that Lin Xuankong was an Early Stage Supreme Immortal Lord concealing his cultivation, but he did not expose him. The allied forces finalized a plan against the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect and ordered Lin Xuankong to leave for safety, leaving him frustrated that he could not join the war.

• Sect Master Qiu sensed Lin Xuankong’s Guangqing Illusory Arts and realized his true cultivation was Early Stage Supreme Immortal Lord, though the other assembled powerhouses noticed nothing.
• Sect Master Qiu warmly invited Lin Xuankong to sit beside him, but Lin Xuankong declined and stood behind his master, Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu.
• The human, demon, and Lingtai Buddhist factions revised their battle plans and settled on a three-pronged attack against the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect after discussing the Curse of Time.
• The allied leaders decided that Guang Yu'er, the Qilin Clan’s Old Clan Leader, and Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva would escort talented younger fighters to the Wine Immortal Sect in case the alliance lost.
• Lin Xuankong discovered that he was on the list of young talents to be evacuated and was dismayed that he would not be allowed to fight.

Lin Xuankong objected to being kept out of the coming war, but his master and the Black Tortoise Clan's Old Clan Leader urged him to escort the younger geniuses to the Wine Immortal Sect. After Guang Yu'er suggested he could return to battle once they were safe, Lin Xuankong agreed to lead their protection.

• Lin Xuankong rejected the elders' plan to keep him away from the Immortal-Demon War, but Elder Qiu and Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu urged him to safeguard the younger talents instead.
• The Old Clan Leader of the Black Tortoise Clan offered Lin Xuankong over a hundred thousand jin of Demon King essence blood in exchange for his agreement to escort the young geniuses to the Wine Immortal Sect.
• Lin Xuankong offered three Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts for the essence blood, but the Old Clan Leader said he wanted Lin Xuankong to protect the Black Tortoise Clan's young Demon Kings rather than accept the artifacts.
• Guang Yu'er privately advised Lin Xuankong to escort the younger talents first, secure them at the Wine Immortal Sect, and then return to the battle.
• Lin Xuankong agreed to accompany Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva, the Kirin Clan leader, and Guang Yu'er in protecting the younger talents on their journey.

Lin Xuankong joined Guang Yu'er, Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva, and the Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan in escorting nearly a hundred thousand young geniuses to the Wine Immortal Sect. As the group traveled aboard Guang Yu'er's enormous immortal sword, the younger cultivators celebrated Lin's fame and began gossiping about who might become his Dao companion.

• The young geniuses gathered outside the council hall and eagerly admired Lin Xuankong, while the Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan reflected with satisfaction on sending the White-foreheaded Qilin and Green-foreheaded Qilin to serve Yan Mingyu.
• Guang Yu'er enlarged her Third-grade Immortal Sword, shielded it with the Guangqing Extreme Cold Art, and carried the group toward the Wine Immortal Sect.
• Jialin Bodhisattva recalled meeting Lin Xuankong before he became an Earth Immortal and joked that she would have tried to recruit him for the Lingtai Buddhist Sect if she had known how extraordinary he would become.
• The young geniuses questioned Jialin Bodhisattva about Lin's past and his Dao companion, then argued over whether he should choose someone from the Azure Dragon Clan or the Fire Phoenix Clan.

Lin Xuankong and the gathered immortals arrived at the Wine Immortal Sect, where Elder Chi Liuxia brought him two jars of four-hundred-thousand-year-old Heavenly Immortal Drunk. Chi revealed that the wine could enhance the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s lifespan-extending art when used with Demon King blood essence, giving Lin a possible way to strengthen his defenses against the Curse of Time.

• The Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan silenced the juniors’ gossip, and the group continued to the Wine Immortal Sect, where Sect Master Mao Rong welcomed them and showed them to their prepared residences.
• Guang Yu'er noticed that Lin Xuankong’s cave dwelling was better than hers and insisted on staying there with him.
• Elder Chi Liuxia visited Lin with two jars of Heavenly Immortal Drunk, explaining that the Wine Immortal Sect offered them in gratitude for Lin and Luoshui Yan’s protection and assistance.
• Lin told Chi that he had obtained the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s lifespan-extending art and needed Demon King blood essence to cultivate it.
• Chi explained that Wine Immortal Sect spirit wine, especially Heavenly Immortal Drunk, could enhance the art when cultivated alongside Demon King blood essence, and Lin realized the discovery might help him prepare for the Curse of Time.

Lin Xuankong used the Myriad Law Immortal Sect’s lifespan-extending art with a hundred thousand jin of Black Tortoise Clan Demon King essence blood and a jar of ten-thousand-year spiritual wine, then shared another jar with Guang Yu'er. As Guang Yu'er wondered how much longer the treatment had given him, Lin Xuankong prepared to check his lifespan with his Old and Vigorous Destiny.

• Guang Yu'er refused to share the spiritual wine at first, urging Lin Xuankong to use it with the Demon King essence blood before the Immortal-Demon War.
• Lin Xuankong explained the lifespan-extending art and absorbed the essence blood, using the spiritual wine to strengthen its restorative effects.
• Guang Yu'er guarded Lin Xuankong while his immortal body, spirit soul, immortal essence, and spiritual roots transformed for several hours.
• After the transformation, Lin Xuankong persuaded Guang Yu'er to share the remaining wine and consummate their love in the Cave Dwelling.
• Guang Yu'er asked how many years the treatment had added to Lin Xuankong’s lifespan, and Lin Xuankong realized he could calculate it using his Old and Vigorous Destiny.

Lin Xuankong discovered that his lifespan had risen to more than 117 million years, leaving him confident he could withstand the coming war and its threats. When the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect began its invasion, he sensed danger near the Wine Immortal Sect despite its scouts detecting nothing.

• Lin Xuankong checked his status and saw that his remaining lifespan was over 117 million years, while his Destiny talents and cultivation had also strengthened.
• Lin Xuankong considered how his new lifespan could protect him from the Curse of Time and help his wives survive the final heavenly tribulation.
• Lin Xuankong and Guang Yu'er spent the night together, and he later read the Myriad Law Immortal Sect's immortal arts.
• Chi Liuxia reported that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect had divided its army into three routes and that one force would reach the southwestern defensive line within half an hour.
• Lin Xuankong used the Nine Gates Heavenly Eye to inspect the area and realized that the enemy had learned about the hidden gathering of young geniuses.
• Chi Liuxia said the Wine Immortal Sect's scouts had found no sign of an enemy army, but Lin Xuankong's warning left its approach unresolved.
