Chapter Summaries

Chu Huai Xu returned to Junzi Temple with two Origin Fragments, and the Dao Sect elders decided how to distribute them while learning about the Nascent Soul Fruit Status and Kunlun Cave Heaven’s power. Back in his room, Chu Huai Xu moved Wen Shiyu’s Primordial Spirit into his Sea of Consciousness and confronted her.

• Chu Huai Xu shared his gains with the Dao Sect elders, who praised him and promised to seek three East Continent Tokens if he put his new servant to good use.
• Chu Huai Xu offered the two Origin Fragments to the sect, and the elders assigned one to Shen Man and the other to Tai Tingbai after Xiang Yan declined his share.
• Chu Huai Xu told the elders about Zhong Ming’s Nascent Soul Fruit Status and explained that its power could alter the laws of heaven and earth within three feet of him.
• Chu Huai Xu warned the elders that more Lost Fruition Statuses might remain in the Xuanhuang Realm, then returned to his room without claiming his mission reward.
• Chu Huai Xu brought Wen Shiyu’s corpse out of his Storage Token and moved her Primordial Spirit from the Golden Bowl into his Sea of Consciousness.
• Wen Shiyu challenged Chu Huai Xu for putting her in his Sea of Consciousness, and he told her she needed disciplining for how she had addressed him.

Chu Huai Xu forced Wen Shiyu to submit, then watched her possess a corpse and took control of her resources. After gathering the materials he needed, he began cultivating and broke through five realms in three breaths, leaving Wen Shiyu stunned.

• Chu Huai Xu used the Heart Sword and Black Jade Lotus Platform to subdue Wen Shiyu and learned that possessing her current body again would limit its future cultivation.
• Wen Shiyu asked Chu Huai Xu to leave her the next body that emerged from the Origin Spirit Realm, and she admitted this was her first possession.
• Wen Shiyu possessed the corpse, recovered her injuries with pills from Chu Huai Xu, and handed him her storage ring.
• Chu Huai Xu found the remaining materials needed to refine the External Incarnation and considered using Wen Shiyu to refine it for him.
• Chu Huai Xu began cultivating with his Experience Points, and Wen Shiyu watched him break through five realms in three breaths.

Chu Huai Xu rapidly advanced through multiple realms, then ordered Wen Shiyu to refine Ye Kongxuan’s corpse into an External Incarnation. He questioned her about the lost Fruit Statuses, and she revealed that Kunlun had gone without snow for two thousand years.

• Wen Shiyu watched Chu Huai Xu break through five realms, then three more, in just a few breaths despite the severe pain.
• Chu Huai Xu told Wen Shiyu he would enter Secluded Cultivation the next morning and assigned her to make an External Incarnation from Ye Kongxuan’s corpse.
• Wen Shiyu explained that Chu Huai Xu had inherited Night Venerable’s Fruit Status and was now the Night Immortal Venerable, with authority over Kunlun’s night.
• Wen Shiyu said another lost Fruit Status had vanished before Night Venerable was slain, and that Kunlun cultivators suspected a Spirit Transformation Immortal Venerable had been killed in the Xuanhuang Realm long ago.
• Wen Shiyu added that Kunlun had not seen snow for two thousand years.

Chu Huai Xu learned that Kunlun Immortal Venerables could sense when they were mentioned and worried that his possession of the Night Venerable Fruition might accelerate the coming invasion. During secluded cultivation, he raised his Spiritual Embryo to 8 and opened a Heaven Grade Treasure Chest that offered three rewards to choose from.

• Wen Shiyu explained that Kunlun Cave Heaven had gone two thousand years without snow and that Immortal Venerables could sense when anyone mentioned them.
• Chu Huai Xu considered the hidden Lost Fruition quest, the Black Moon Cult leader, and the possibility that his actions would bring the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth sooner.
• The next day, Wen Shiyu went to refine an External Incarnation while Nangong Yue joined her, and Chu Huai Xu entered secluded cultivation at Junzi Temple.
• Chu Huai Xu failed again to learn [Myriad Swords Returning to the Origin], then claimed the quest reward and raised his Spiritual Embryo to 8.
• Chu Huai Xu opened a Heaven Grade Treasure Chest and saw three rewards to choose from, including Bloodline Power.

Chu Huai Xu chose and absorbed the Pure Yang Bloodline, gaining cultivation benefits and strengthening [South Flowing Scenery]. He then checked on Wen Shiyu’s ongoing refinement of the External Incarnation and asked Nangong Yue to call him when it was nearly complete so he could restore the Four Symbols Spiritual Root to Ye Kongxuan’s corpse.

• Chu Huai Xu compared the Pure Yang, Archaic, and Huang Tian Bloodlines and chose the Pure Yang Bloodline for its Experience Point reduction and compatibility with [South Flowing Scenery].
• Chu Huai Xu accidentally broke his thighbone with a forceful slap and regretted leveling up before he could benefit from the bloodline’s discount.
• Chu Huai Xu endured a day and night of intense heat as the Pure Yang Bloodline merged into his body and [South Flowing Scenery].
• Chu Huai Xu tested [South Flowing Scenery] and wondered whether its increased power could help Zhong Ming recover.
• Chu Huai Xu visited Nangong Yue and learned that Wen Shiyu’s External Incarnation would take several more days to refine.
• Chu Huai Xu asked Nangong Yue to call him when the refinement neared completion so he could use Supreme Saint Water to extract the Four Symbols Spiritual Root from the Corruption Pill and return it to Ye Kongxuan’s corpse.

Chu Huai Xu completed the External Incarnation with Wen Shiyu’s Four Symbols Spiritual Root and learned to control the clone using the Black Jade Lotus Platform. After sparring with Nangong Yue, he recognized the clone’s limitations and planned to study Kunlun Cave Heaven’s cultivation methods.

• Wen Shiyu brought the preliminary work for the External Incarnation to Chu Huai Xu, who supplied the Corruption Pill and Supreme Saint Water.
• Wen Shiyu suggested Ye Kongxuan’s body might have been provided under an Immortal Venerable’s conditions, and Chu Huai Xu exposed her suspicion.
• Chu Huai Xu used the Black Jade Lotus Platform to connect with the Four Symbols Spiritual Root and successfully refined an External Incarnation.
• Chu Huai Xu discovered that injuries to the clone caused him pain and that it could not cast Xuanhuang Realm techniques or match his true body’s control.
• Nangong Yue sparred with Chu Huai Xu and his clone, then sent them flying with a palm strike.

Chu Huai Xu dismissed his fragile incarnation, brought Wen Shiyu home, and discussed her stay with Han Shuangjiang. He then questioned Wen Shiyu about cultivating both systems and learned that Nascent Soul cultivators considered it impossible, leaving him to wonder whether the Black Moon Cult Leader had ties to a Spirit Transformation Immortal Venerable.

• Chu Huai Xu severed his control over the incarnation after it cried out in pain, then returned home with Wen Shiyu.
• Han Shuangjiang asked whether Wen Shiyu had stayed in Chu Huai Xu’s room, and Chu Huai Xu suggested moving in with her, but she refused until they both reached the Fifth Realm.
• Chu Huai Xu assigned Wen Shiyu a meditation mat in the Storage Room while the family ate together and she washed the dishes.
• Chu Huai Xu asked Wen Shiyu whether anyone could cultivate both Immortality and ordinary cultivation, and she said she and other Nascent Soul True Monarchs believed it was impossible.
• Chu Huai Xu revealed that someone had reached the Eighth Realm and Nascent Soul Stage through both systems, then wondered whether the Black Moon Cult Leader was connected to a Spirit Transformation Immortal Venerable.

Chu Huaixu considered cultivating Xuanhuang Realm methods alongside his Nascent Soul power, while the Black Moon Cult Leader learned that Chu Huaixu possessed the Night Venerable fruit status and might be a way to break through. The Kunlun Spirit Transformation Immortal Venerables identified Chu Huaixu and ordered his face distributed throughout Kunlun Cave Heaven.

• Chu Huaixu told Wen Shiyu he was considering practicing Xuanhuang Realm cultivation methods, and she said a Spirit Transformation Immortal Venerable could use any divine ability they wished.
• At the Evil Cultivator Altar, the Black Moon Cult Leader failed to break through to the Nine Realms, and the Snow Venerable within him explained that he needed fruit-status power to balance the Power of Origin.
• The Snow Venerable revealed that Chu Huaixu had fused with the Night Venerable fruit status and urged the Black Moon Cult Leader to kill him and seize it, though the cult leader remained suspicious.
• Two Spirit Transformation Immortal Venerables discussed the Night Venerable fruit status and sensed that the sea had revealed Chu Huaixu's appearance.
• The aged youth summoned True Monarch Lingxiao and ordered him to distribute Chu Huaixu's portrait so every Immortal Cultivator in Kunlun Cave Heaven would recognize him.

True Monarch Lingxiao examined a portrait of Chu Huai Xu and suspected the young man was tied to the Night Venerable’s divine position, so he began arranging for Kunlun’s Immortal Cultivators to remember Chu Huai Xu’s face. Meanwhile, Lin Zixuan reached Junzi Temple and reunited with Chu Huai Xu, who questioned her about her master’s attempt to kill him and stop him from healing Zhong Ming.

• True Monarch Lingxiao studied Chu Huai Xu’s portrait, recalled the Daoist who had slain the Night Venerable and collapsed the Heavenly Dao, and resolved to follow his master’s orders cautiously.
• After the Dao Sect group left Lin Zixuan behind, she made a difficult journey to Junzi Temple and asked Xiahou Yue to take her there, but he refused.
• Chu Huai Xu reluctantly accepted Lin Zixuan’s arrival at Junzi Temple, while Wen Shiyu privately regarded her as a rival.
• Chu Huai Xu told Lin Zixuan that her master had attacked him from afar, sacrificed his lifespan, and likely tried to prevent him from healing Zhong Ming.
• Chu Huai Xu asked Lin Zixuan why her master had tried to stop him from healing Zhong Ming.

Chu Huai Xu learned that Zhong Ming might possess an item tied to the Great Tribulation, and wondered whether the Dao Ancestor had deliberately tampered with the heavenly secrets. During Zhong Ming’s treatment, the old man briefly regained clarity and recognized Chu Huai Xu by name.

• Lin Zixuan told Chu Huai Xu that her master had instructed Prince's Brother to seek an audience with Zhong Ming when the Great Tribulation began, because Zhong Ming might possess something he needed.
• Chu Huai Xu reasoned that Ming Xuanji’s visions had omitted him while the Dao Ancestor’s had included him, and suspected the Dao Ancestor had altered the heavenly secrets to guide events.
• Lin Zixuan moved into Junzi Temple, and Chu Huai Xu went with Xiang Yan to treat Zhong Ming while Tai Tingbai remained in Secluded Cultivation.
• Chu Huai Xu’s strengthened South Flowing Scenery tripled the treatment’s efficiency, raising hopes that Zhong Ming could recover within two years.
• Zhong Ming briefly regained clarity, turned to Chu Huai Xu, and asked whether he was called Chu Huai Xu.

After Zhong Ming briefly regained his senses, he told Chu Huai Xu to go to Spring Autumn Mountain and find something or someone before falling back into madness.
