Chapter Summaries

The Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva endured a sneak attack from the Sky Eye Demon Lord while crossing the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, then grew stronger by facing the heavenly attacks with her own power. Guang Yu'er explained that relying on oneself during the final tribulation could build a far stronger foundation, though the chapter left unanswered how the Bodhisattva and Demon Lord would fare in the remaining attacks.

• The Sky Eye Demon Lord sent a first-grade demonic artifact in the shape of a black skull to bite the Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva while she resisted the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation.
• The Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva's Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art stopped the skull's fangs, and her Buddhist light blasted it back toward the Sky Eye Demon Lord.
• Junior Bodhisattva Jialin explained that the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art countered demonic artifacts, while Lin Xuankong wished he could learn it to protect himself during his future tribulation.
• The Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva blocked the silver needles but lost one of her golden shields, and her Buddhist body and strength grew brighter and more powerful.
• Lin Xuankong asked Guang Yu'er why the Bodhisattva was growing stronger while the Sky Eye Demon Lord was not, and Guang Yu'er explained that facing the final tribulation with one's own power absorbed upper-realm aura and strengthened the cultivator.

Lin Xuankong learned that no supreme Immortal Lord had crossed the final heavenly tribulation through personal strength alone, and he resolved to prepare for that challenge himself. As Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva and Sky Eye Demon Lord faced nearly one hundred thousand Silver Thread Sword Tribulation needles, the onlookers feared they would fall, and Guang Yu'er urged Lin Xuankong to find a way to help.

• Guang Yu'er told Lin Xuankong that every recorded supreme Immortal Lord who tried to cross the final tribulation without external aids had failed, and Lin Xuankong decided to pursue that path and learn powerful Buddhist and immortal arts.
• The fifth round of the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation gathered nearly one hundred thousand silver needles above Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva and Sky Eye Demon Lord.
• Sky Eye Demon Lord cursed the heavens and lost hope as he faced the approaching attack, while First Devil Master Fanyu considered reclaiming the hundred First Grade devil artifacts he had lent him but held back to preserve appearances.
• The Devil Masters, Immortals, and other observers feared the silver needles would overwhelm both tribulation-takers, and Guang Yu'er decided not to give Yuming Bodhisattva her Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact.
• Guang Yu'er tugged Lin Xuankong's hand and asked him to find a way to save Yuming Bodhisattva, who had risked herself to fight Sky Eye Demon Lord.

As the second wave of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation threatened Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva, Lin Xuankong sent her an Immortal Artifact far more powerful than Third- or Fourth-Grade weapons. Its astonishing aura left her and the gathered cultivators wondering whether it was a Sixth- or even Seventh-Grade Immortal Artifact, while the tribulation remained poised to strike.

• Supreme Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er asked whether Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva could survive with a Luoshui Great Array and dozens of Third-Grade Immortal Artifacts, but Lin Xuankong said they would not be enough.

• Lin Xuankong sent an Immortal Artifact across a thousand miles to Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva and urged her to accept it as his aid.

• Supreme Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er, the Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan, Xiao Linglong, and the other cultivators marveled at the artifact’s power and speculated that it was Sixth-Grade or higher.

The second wave of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation descended on Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva and the Sky Eye Demon Lord. The Sky Eye Demon Lord was battered and its demonic armor began to crack, while Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva remained unharmed behind the colossal Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact Lin Xuankong had given her.

• The little Azure Dragon announced that the second wave of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation had begun, and nearly two hundred thousand silver-thread swords rushed toward Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva and the Sky Eye Demon Lord.
• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva enlarged Lin Xuankong's Immortal Artifact into a colossal sword and realized it might be an Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact.
• The Sky Eye Demon Lord used its crimson eye beam and more than one hundred First Grade demonic artifacts to fend off the silver swords, but the artifacts were overwhelmed and began losing their demonic power.
• The Sky Eye Demon Lord formed its absolute defense demonic armor, but the swords battered it downward and cracks appeared in the armor as it despaired over its hopes of ascension.
• The Sky Eye Demon Lord looked toward Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva and saw that her colossal Immortal Artifact blocked the silver swords, leaving her unharmed and composed.

Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva’s Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact endured the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation while the same attack killed Sky Eye Demon Lord and annihilated his Spirit Soul. The cultivators celebrated his fall, but the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s Devil Masters were left shaken as Yuming Bodhisattva’s tribulation continued.

• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva’s immortal artifact withstood the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation’s attacks, while the barrage overwhelmed Sky Eye Demon Lord’s defenses.

Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva survived the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation with the Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact Lin Xuankong lent her, while the Sky Eye Demon Lord had perished. Lin confirmed the artifact’s grade, stunning both the Immortal Realm cultivators and the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, whose Devil Masters waited for Yuming to face the remaining tribulations.

• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva thanked Lin Xuankong for lending her the Immortal Artifact that let her survive the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, and Lin dismissed the gift as a small gesture.

• The Soul Shifting Demon Lord urged the Devil Masters to wait for Yuming to fall in the remaining tribulations, then seize the Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact together.

The sixth round of Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva’s Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation began with the Calamity of Jianmu, whose pollen threatened to drain her life and power. As the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s leaders resolved to capture Lin Xuankong for his Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact and artifact-refining skill, Yuming sent the artifact to attack the descending pollen.

• First Demon Lord Fanyu learned that Lin Xuankong possessed an Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact and decided the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect had to capture him alive, regardless of the cost.
• First Demon Lord Fanyu hoped that Yuming would overcome the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation and leave the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, taking Lin Xuankong’s artifact with her.
• The sixth tribulation manifested as the Calamity of Jianmu, with enormous branches and flowers filling the sky.
• The Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan explained that Jianmu pollen could drain a cultivator’s immortal essence, body, and Spirit Soul unless it was destroyed from a distance.
• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva sent her Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact toward the falling pollen, while Lin Xuankong and the others watched anxiously.

Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva used the Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact Lin Xuankong had given her to destroy the Jianmu Tree pollen and survive the sixth wave of the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation. She also passed the seventh and eighth waves, and Lin Xuankong watched as the final strike began to form.

• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva wielded the Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact to slice through millions of grains of Jianmu Tree pollen, clearing the sixth wave.
• The Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan, Guang Yu'er, and the gathered cultivators praised Lin Xuankong's artifact and grew confident that Yuming could survive the tribulation.

• Lin Xuankong watched the tribulation clouds as Yuming prepared to face the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation's final strike.

Lin Xuankong watched Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva face the Taiyin Soul Annihilation Tribulation, fearing its black hole would overwhelm her despite his Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact. She survived the final trial, attained the Heavenly Immortal realm, and prepared to leave the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm after promising to aid Lin Xuankong in the upper realm.

• A vast Taiji-shaped tribulation formed above Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva, and its black Yin Eye pulled her toward a black hole.
• Guang Yu'er identified the trial as the Taiyin Soul Annihilation Tribulation and explained that two Myriad Law Immortal Sect seniors had perished in it two million years earlier.
• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva used Lin Xuankong's Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact to resist the black hole's suction, but she could neither escape nor advance.
• After an hour, the Taiji diagram stopped drawing her in and released radiant light, immortal music, and Buddhist treasure lotuses that transformed her.
• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva attained the Heavenly Immortal realm and told Lin Xuankong she would help him in the upper realm if he ascended in the future.

Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva survived the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation and transformed into Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha, whose Glazed Buddha Body overwhelmed the gathered cultivators and demons. As the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm began expelling her to the Supreme Primordial Realm, her transformed Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact appeared beside her, and First Devil Master Fanyu warned the Devil Masters of the danger.

• Lin Xuankong congratulated Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva and looked forward to meeting her again in the upper realm.
• Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva's body disintegrated after the tribulation, and she emerged as a radiant, ten-thousand-zhang Glazed Heavenly Buddha.
• Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha's presence drove nearly everyone in the Luoshui Great Array and millions of Xuan Yin Demonic Sect demons to their knees, while Lin Xuankong, Guang Yu'er, and the Kirin Clan's Old Clan Leader remained standing.
• The Golden Dragon Immortal Realm began pushing Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha toward the upper realm, and the Ten Thousand Bodies Demon Lord said the world membrane would prevent her from attacking the Devil Masters.
• Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha's transformed Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact appeared beside her, prompting First Devil Master Fanyu to warn the Devil Masters to be careful.

Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha wielded her transformed Heavenly Sword before the world power of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm drew her away. Her single strike annihilated nearly ten million Xuan Yin Demonic Sect fighters and all nineteen Devil Masters, leaving Lin Xuankong and the witnesses stunned by the power of a Heavenly Buddha.

• Fanyu, the First Devil Master, urged the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect forces to flee as Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha prepared to act.
• The Devil Masters scattered in every direction, while Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha was pushed toward the spatial passage leading to the Supreme Primordial Realm.
• Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha sent her Heavenly Sword across the battlefield, piercing the kneeling Demonic Beings and Demon Generals and then all nineteen fleeing Devil Masters.
• The sword returned to Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha, who vanished with it into the spatial passage as the passage closed.
• The sword’s golden Buddhist radiance caused nearly ten million Demonic Beings, Demon Generals, and Devil Masters to break apart and die without a sound.
• Lin Xuankong and the other cultivators watched in shock, and the Green-foreheaded Qilin exclaimed over the Heavenly Buddha’s overwhelming power.

After Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha destroyed the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s invading forces, Lin Xuankong reflected on the gulf between his strength and that of upper-realm experts. The cultivators praised him for gifting the Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact that helped make her victory possible, and he kept Junior Bodhisattva Jialin behind to ask about learning the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art.

• Lin Xuankong told Supreme Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er that Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha’s sword strike had shown him how terrifying upper-realm power was and made him eager to grow stronger.
• Junior Bodhisattva Jialin and thousands of Lingtai Buddhist Sect disciples thanked Lin Xuankong for gifting Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha the Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact.
• The Green-foreheaded Qilin and cultivators from the gathered clans and sects joined in praising Lin Xuankong, who insisted Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha deserved the credit for the victory.
• After the crowd dispersed, Lin Xuankong kept Junior Bodhisattva Jialin behind because he wanted to learn the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art, a powerful defensive cultivation art.

Lin Xuankong asked Junior Bodhisattva Jialin to teach him the Lingtai Buddhist Sect’s Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art, and she gave him its cultivation method after explaining its demands and potential. The art’s true limits remained unknown, but Lin Xuankong intended to cultivate it and seek Jialin’s guidance.

• Lin Xuankong asked Junior Bodhisattva Jialin whether the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art required Buddhist nature, special talents, or joining the Lingtai Buddhist Sect.
• Jialin demonstrated her entry-level art and explained that Great Accomplishment Yuming Bodhisattva had perfected it with one hundred thousand inscriptions, creating immense power and nearly unbreakable defense.
• Jialin warned that the art consumed vast immortal essence and took considerable time to cultivate, but Lin Xuankong believed his resources and accelerated time could overcome those obstacles.
• Lin Xuankong resolved to cultivate the art, and Jialin gave him a jade slip containing the method and other Buddhist cultivation arts without asking for compensation.
• Jialin recalled that Yuming Bodhisattva believed the art could surpass one hundred thousand inscriptions, though even Yuming had been unable to advance beyond that limit.

Lin Xuankong completed the first golden body secret pattern of the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art, greatly increasing his physical strength, while Supreme Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er brought him Profound Truth Jade Stones and news from the Crane Immortal Sect. The three armies of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect had changed course and were heading for the Wine Immortal Sect, with Demon Son Gang Gu leading one of them.

• Lin Xuankong used a time-accelerated Luoshui Great Array to complete his first golden body secret pattern and found that it multiplied his physical strength severalfold.
• Supreme Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er visited Lin Xuankong, gave him two thousand mid-grade Profound Truth Jade Stones, and discussed the boost in morale after Jade Bright Heavenly Buddha's victory and the appearance of an Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact.
• Supreme Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er reported that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect's three armies had stopped advancing toward the Crane Immortal Sect but had not retreated.
• Supreme Immortal Lord Guang Yu'er told Lin Xuankong that the three armies had started moving again and were now heading toward the Wine Immortal Sect, with Demon Son Gang Gu overseeing one of them.

As the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s three armies approached the Wine Immortal Sect, Lin Xuankong entered closed-door cultivation while Guang Yu'er guarded his dwelling. The human, Demon Race, and Buddhist forces arrived at the sect to prepare for the coming battle, and Guang Yu'er and the Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan went out to greet them.

• Guang Yu'er told Lin Xuankong that the Crane Immortal Sect’s leaders would wait for the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect to near the Wine Immortal Sect before sending aid, trusting Lin’s hundred-layer Luoshui Great Array to protect the sect.
• Lin Xuankong decided to spend the remaining weeks cultivating the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art and asked Guang Yu'er to guard his Cave Dwelling.
• After twenty-five or twenty-six days, Guang Yu'er sensed powerful figures approaching and recognized their upright auras as allies rather than the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s forces.
• The Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan arrived and praised Lin Xuankong’s Immortal Artifacts for allowing the human, Demon Race, and Buddhist forces to reach the Wine Immortal Sect quickly.
• Sect Master Qiu, Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu, Immortal Lord Feiyun, other human Supreme Immortal Lords, Demon Kings, and Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas arrived above the Wine Immortal Sect.
• Guang Yu'er and the Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan flew toward the outside of the Luoshui Great Array to meet the arriving forces.

As the Immortal Realm’s allies gathered at the Wine Immortal Sect ahead of the final battle with the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, the assembled leaders wondered whether Lin Xuankong could forge more Eighth Grade Immortal Artifacts. Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu urged them not to interrupt his closed-door cultivation, leaving the leaders to wait for the coming battle and Lin Xuankong’s possible aid.

• Guang Yu'er greeted Sect Master Qiu, Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu, and the other leaders as they gathered outside the Wine Immortal Sect.
• Sect Master Qiu reported that the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s three armies would arrive within three days, making the Wine Immortal Sect the likely site of the final decisive battle.
• Sect Master Qiu praised Lin Xuankong’s hundred-layer Luoshui Great Array and asked whether he had forged the Eighth Grade Immortal Artifact he gave to Yuming Bodhisattva.
• Guang Yu'er said she did not know whether Lin Xuankong had forged the artifact or found it through a fortuitous opportunity, and offered to summon him from his cave dwelling.
• Yan Mingyu asked the gathered leaders not to disturb Lin Xuankong’s closed-door cultivation, saying he would aid them if he could forge the artifacts they needed.

After nine years of accelerated cultivation, Lin Xuankong had raised the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art close to completion and hoped to reach an even higher realm before the final battle between immortals and devils. Though powerful elders had arrived at the Wine Immortal Sect eager to meet him, he chose to remain in seclusion and continue cultivating.

• The Kirin Clan's Old Clan Leader guided the visiting Supreme Immortal Lords, Demon Kings, and Bodhisattvas to rest at the Wine Immortal Sect, while Guang Yu'er kept them from entering Lin Xuankong's cave dwelling.
• Lin Xuankong checked his progress after nine years of accelerated cultivation and found that his lifespan and age-based talents had increased.
• Lin Xuankong discovered that the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art had formed 9,862 miniature Buddhist divine elephants within his body, bringing the art close to completion.
• Lin Xuankong reflected that mastering the art might let him withstand more rounds of the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Tribulation without external help.
• Guang Yu'er told Lin Xuankong that powerful elders had arrived hoping to meet him, but Lin Xuankong declined to leave his cave dwelling and returned his attention to cultivation.

Demon Son Gang Gu sent Huanmo Demon Lord to break the hundred layers of Luoshui Great Arrays protecting the Wine Immortal Sect, while Lin Xuankong advanced his Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art in seclusion. The chapter left Lin Xuankong trying to inscribe a ten-thousand-and-first secret pattern and break the art’s limits.

• Demon Son Gang Gu ordered Huanmo Demon Lord to lead the vanguard and destroy Lin Xuankong’s hundred layers of Luoshui Great Arrays.
• Huanmo Demon Lord claimed her transformed demonic arts and formation expertise would let her break the arrays, while Yellow Springs Demon Lord warned her about the powerful defenders at the Wine Immortal Sect.
• Six days later, Guang Yu'er watched Buddhist light and secret patterns appear on Lin Xuankong as he cultivated in his cave dwelling.
• Lin Xuankong completed ten thousand Golden Body secret patterns, gaining the physical strength of one hundred thousand Buddhist divine elephants and a powerful Golden Pattern Buddha Shield.
• Lin Xuankong continued cultivating, seeking to inscribe a ten-thousand-and-first secret pattern and enter the art’s ultimate realm.

Lin Xuankong repeatedly tried to imprint the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art into his immortal body, discovering that simultaneous patterns resisted the world’s suppression more effectively. As he pushed toward completing thirty-six patterns, Guang Yu'er suspected he had reached the Supreme Immortal Lord Realm, while the Wine Immortal Sect waited tensely for the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s army.

• Lin Xuankong repeatedly traced the Golden Body Demon Suppressing Art, but individual patterns vanished before their final lines could form.
• Lin Xuankong found that tracing three patterns together let one-tenth of the final line form, then traced nine patterns at once and reached seven-tenths before they failed.
• Lin Xuankong began tracing thirty-six secret patterns simultaneously, pushing his Spirit Soul close to its limit.
• Guang Yu'er sensed Lin Xuankong’s immense immortal essence fluctuations and wondered whether he had secretly become a Supreme Immortal Lord.
• On Ninth Spirit Peak, the Green-foreheaded Qilin, the White-foreheaded Qilin, and other young demon geniuses anxiously discussed the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect’s army, which had stopped one hundred and thirty million li away.

As Lin Xuankong remained in closed-door cultivation, hundreds of thousands of wounded cultivators sought refuge at the Wine Immortal Sect, prompting Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu to shelter them in her secret realm. Huanmo Demon Lord revealed herself among the refugees and attacked Yan Mingyu, declaring that capturing Lin Xuankong’s master was a good thing.

• Green-foreheaded Kirin, White-foreheaded Qilin, and Xiao Linglong noticed hundreds of thousands of wounded cultivators approaching the Wine Immortal Sect and warned that demons might be hiding among them.
• The Old Clan Leader of the Kirin Clan and Immortal Lord Qianyuan found no signs of demonic energy or illusion arts, but Immortal Lord Feiyun urged the sect to turn the refugees away.
• Luoshui Immortal Lord Yan Mingyu refused to abandon the refugees and began admitting them into her Heavenly Demon Bone secret realm while the peerless Immortal Lords watched them closely.
• After half the refugees entered, ten thousand of them revealed themselves as Huanmo Demon Lord’s incarnations and attacked Yan Mingyu with pink demonic energy.
• Yan Mingyu blocked the surprise attack with a miniature Luoshui Array, and Huanmo declared that capturing Lin Xuankong’s master counted as a good thing.
