Chapter Summaries

Jiang Liu returned to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, spent three days with the women, and then traveled through the void to Heaven's Mandate Pavilion to investigate the Chaos Mirror fragments and Chaos Sutra. He passed through the pavilion's concealed warning formations and entered the area around the Dim Starstone unnoticed.

• Jiang Liu found the women cultivating diligently and saw that their spiritual souls had grown rapidly near the Spirit Mother Tree.
• Feng Yue demonstrated her improved spiritual power by sending a primeval-energy knife at Jiang Liu, then flew into his arms when it shattered.
• The women accepted Jiang Liu's explanation that they should postpone having children until their cultivation advanced and the Three Realms' Tribulation had passed.
• After spending three days with the women, Jiang Liu left the Sky Devouring Cat in Winter Rest Palace and set out for Heaven's Mandate Pavilion.
• Jiang Liu crossed the void in several days and passed through Heaven's Mandate Pavilion's formation near the Dim Starstone without triggering its warnings.

Jiang Liu visited the Heaven's Mandate Pavilion and asked Huangfu Hao to lend him the Heaven's Mandate Mirror. Huangfu Hao handed it over, and the Chaos Mirror Spirit in Jiang Liu's Divine Sea trembled as soon as he took it.

• Jiang Liu appeared above the Dim Starstone, and the Heaven's Mandate Pavilion's members gathered and bowed to him.
• Jiang Liu let the members rise, then accepted Huangfu Hao's invitation to enter the council hall.
• Jiang Liu asked Huangfu Hao to lend him the Heaven's Mandate Mirror.
• Huangfu Hao immediately offered the mirror to Jiang Liu, whose Chaos Mirror Spirit trembled when he took it.

The Heaven's Mandate Mirror erupted with power beyond the Divine Realm, but the Divine Soul of the Chaos Mirror suppressed the shard and dealt with its independent consciousness. Jiang Liu formed a connection with the shard and discovered an inner space, leaving him closer to the Chaos Sutra he needed to reach the God Lord Realm.

• The Heaven's Mandate Mirror erupted in Jiang Liu's hands, and Huangfu Hao and Zhuge Cheng tried to shield the Heaven's Mandate Pavilion members from its overwhelming aura.
• The Divine Soul of the Chaos Mirror blocked the eruption, revealing the Heaven's Mandate Mirror as a shard of the Chaos Mirror.
• Huangfu Hao and Zhuge Cheng chose not to question Jiang Liu and left the hall with the Pavilion members and guards.
• Jiang Liu asked the Divine Soul of the Chaos Mirror to handle the shard's independent consciousness because he feared damaging the Chaos Sutra stored inside it.
• The Divine Soul of the Chaos Mirror suppressed and devoured the independent consciousness, then prompted Jiang Liu to take out the Chaos Mirror shard.
• Jiang Liu formed a faint connection with the Heaven's Mandate Mirror and used his Divine Sense to discover an inner space larger than the meeting hall.

Jiang Liu discovered that the gray-lit beast hide from the Chaos Mirror resisted his attempt to burn it and suspected it concealed the Chaos Sutra. When he touched its markings, the System detected the God Lord-level Chaos Sutra and asked whether to record it.

• Jiang Liu searched the Chaos Mirror's inner space and found a gray-lit beast hide covered in characters he could not read.
• Jiang Liu wondered whether the beast hide contained the Chaos Sutra, since the Chaos Sutra was nowhere else in the mirror's storage space.
• Jiang Liu tried to burn the hide, but its gray light extinguished the flame and enveloped his hand.
• The Chaos Divine Axe Spirit scattered the hide's gray radiance before it could harm Jiang Liu.
• Jiang Liu ran his hand over the hide's characters, and the System detected the God Lord-level Chaos Sutra and asked whether to record it.

Jiang Liu obtained the Chaos Sutra and returned to Winter Rest Palace to begin cultivating it, but noticed it contained the Fivefold Chaos Techniques. Meanwhile, Zhuge Cheng neared a breakthrough as Heaven's Mandate Pavilion settled into its new position as Jiang Liu's vassal.

• Jiang Liu confirmed that the Chaos Sutra had been recorded in the Data Panel and stored the chilling beast hide in the System Space.
• Jiang Liu waived Heaven's Mandate Pavilion's tribute for three years in recognition of its protection of the Heaven's Mandate Mirror.
• Zhuge Cheng showed signs of breaking through, and Jiang Liu left as Zhuge Cheng hurried to his cultivation grounds.
• Huangfu Hao suppressed his jealousy of Zhuge Cheng and returned to cultivating, while Heaven's Mandate Pavilion's members began cultivating more diligently.
• Jiang Liu returned to Winter Rest Palace and prepared to cultivate the Chaos Sutra, then noticed the words "Fivefold Chaos Techniques."

Jiang Liu studied the Fivefold Chaos Techniques and realized the Chaos Sutra would be extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring him to build proficiency from scratch before reaching the God Lord Realm. When he began circulating it, old habits made him follow the embryonic Chaos Mirror’s route, so he learned that he first had to overcome the cultivation habits he had formed.

• Jiang Liu examined the Fivefold Chaos Techniques and saw how their attack, defense, evasion, resistance, and control methods could strengthen his use of the Chaos Law.
• Jiang Liu saw that the Chaos Sutra required forty thousand proficiency points to reach the beginner stage and could not be advanced by merging proficiency from the Heavenly Evolution Codex.
• Jiang Liu decided to convert the Power of Time-Space Rule in his body into the Chaotic Power of Rule before cultivating the Chaos Sutra.
• Jiang Liu began circulating the Chaos Sutra, but his body unconsciously followed the route of the embryonic Chaos Mirror, and the Heavenly Evolution Codex disrupted the process.
• Jiang Liu examined his body and realized he had to eliminate his old cultivation habits before he could properly cultivate the Chaos Sutra.

Jiang Liu resumed cultivating the Chaos Sutra, struggling to suppress his ingrained habit of circulating the Heavenly Evolution Codex and the Sutra’s prototype. The Winter Rest Palace Spirit imitated his cultivation while the Chaos Divine Axe Spirit and Chaos Mirror Spirit watched, and Jiang Liu remained focused on his practice.

• Jiang Liu gathered his concentration and began slowly circulating the Chaos Sutra, suppressing the Heavenly Evolution Codex’s circulation within him.
• The Winter Rest Palace Spirit sensed familiar and unsettling auras from Jiang Liu, then approached and imitated his cultivation.
• The Chaos Divine Axe Spirit and Chaos Mirror Spirit appeared nearby and watched the Winter Rest Palace Spirit cultivate without intervening.
• Jiang Liu continued cultivating, unaware that the Winter Rest Palace Spirit was following his example.
• Jiang Liu’s aura gradually grew stronger as he persisted with the Chaos Sutra.

Jiang Liu's attempt to circulate the Chaos Sutra was interrupted by the Heavenly Evolution Codex, so he stopped cultivating and searched the Chaos God's belongings for help. He discovered a stone slab with a familiar law fluctuation, and the spirits wondered if it contained the Chaos God's training notes.

• Jiang Liu began circulating the Chaos Sutra, but the Heavenly Evolution Codex interrupted it before he completed one cycle.
• Jiang Liu ended his cultivation, removed the Chaos Mirror's contents, and stored the powerful cultivation resources in the System Space.
• Jiang Liu examined the Chaos God's belongings and considered whether the Chaos God had left guidance for his successor.
• Jiang Liu sensed a familiar law fluctuation from a stone slab and pulled it toward him.
• The Winter Rest Palace Spirit, Chaos Divine Axe Spirit, and Chaos Mirror Spirit gathered, and the Chaos Mirror Spirit asked whether the slab was the Chaos God's Training Notes.

Jiang Liu viewed the Chaos God’s law projection, which revealed the god’s prediction of his own fall and his guidance on cultivating the Chaos Sutra. The Chaos God’s final wish was for his successor to protect the Human Race from the Void Creatures, and Jiang Liu began cultivating with that duty in mind.

• Jiang Liu sent his Divine Sense into the stone tablet and saw a projection of the Chaos Space before it shattered.
• The Chaos God told Jiang Liu that he had expected to fall and asked his successor to keep protecting the Human Race from the Void Creatures.
• The Chaos God explained how to cultivate the Chaos Sutra and addressed possible cultivation problems before his projection vanished.
• Jiang Liu reflected that the beast race had not joined the ancient battle and considered how the survivors later helped defend the Human Race.
• Jiang Liu realized that protecting the Human Race would eventually bring him into conflict with the Void Overlord, then began cultivating.

Jiang Liu cultivated the Chaos Sutra by filling the space around himself with Chaotic Power of Rule and gradually assimilating the Power of Time-Space Rule within his body. After three days, he had fully transformed his power into Chaotic Power of Rule and successfully cultivated the technique.

• Jiang Liu followed the Chaos God's method and gathered Chaotic Power of Rule outside his body instead of forcefully transforming his existing power.
• Jiang Liu guided the Chaotic Power of Rule as it occupied and assimilated his meridians one by one, overcoming resistance from the Power of Time-Space Rule.
• Jiang Liu's Chaotic Power of Rule gradually gained the advantage over the power refined by the Heavenly Evolution Codex.
• Three days later, Jiang Liu had filled his body with Chaotic Power of Rule and completely transformed his Power of Time-Space Rule.

Jiang Liu completed the conversion of his Divine Sea to the Chaotic Power of Rule and tested the Fivefold Chaos Techniques with the Godslayer Blade. He discovered that the Art of Attack could briefly overtake his control, but the blade spirit confirmed it was only because his mastery was weak, so he resumed training.

• Jiang Liu found that the Chaos Sutra had filled his Divine Sea with Chaotic Power of Rule and was steadily converting the remaining Powers of Rule.
• Jiang Liu left Winter Rest Palace and tested the Fivefold Chaos Techniques with the Godslayer Blade, whose gray radiance grew powerful even before he used the Art of Attack.
• Jiang Liu used the Art of Attack, and its gray radiance broke free of his blade swings as he briefly felt the Godslayer Blade go out of his control.
• Jiang Liu questioned the Godslayer Blade's spirit and learned that his weak control over the Art of Attack had caused the loss of control.
• Jiang Liu calmed himself and resumed cultivating with the Godslayer Blade.

Jiang Liu stopped cultivating the Fivefold Chaos Techniques after realizing the Art of Attack was guiding his strikes and that forcing his progress unsettled his mind. After discussing New Year plans and Feng Yi’s new grandson with the women, Jiang Liu suddenly radiated powerful gray light, leaving them alarmed.

• Jiang Liu recognized that the Art of Attack was guiding his attacks, halted his plans to cultivate the Fivefold Chaos Techniques, and returned to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
• Murong Yin asked Jiang Liu about New Year preparations, and he approved the Hall of Governmental Affairs’ arrangements while requesting extra resources for the people.
• Feng Yue told Jiang Liu that Feng Yi had become a grandfather, and Jiang Liu learned she had already sent a congratulatory gift at Feng Yi’s request.
• Jiang Liu told Feng Yue to handle similar occasions without notifying him if Feng Yi preferred it, then a faint pressure began radiating from him.
• Gongsun Haoyue pulled Feng Yue away as the women retreated from Jiang Liu, who became enveloped in unusually powerful gray radiance.

Jiang Liu cultivated the Chaos Sutra, causing gray light and overwhelming pressure to fill the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation as his Divine Sea underwent strange changes. The chapter left him observing the transformed Divine Sea water, unsure whether the changes meant his spiritual power had truly advanced.

• Gray light and thunderous power filled the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, forcing the women to flee while Jiang Liu cultivated.
• Gongsun Haoyue, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Han Yi, and Han Yue felt overwhelmed by Jiang Liu’s cultivation aura, and Han Yi and Han Yue suspected he had found the Chaos Sutra.
• Inside Jiang Liu’s Spirit Sea Space, gray Divine Sea water battered and cracked the sea’s edges without causing him pain.
• Jiang Liu noticed that his Divine Sea water was receding without replenishing, leaving him uncertain whether his spiritual power had advanced.
• Jiang Liu’s Spiritual Avatar entered the gray Divine Sea water and found it so dense that it could barely turn around.

Jiang Liu used the Chaos Sutra to manifest his Divine Sea Space, hoping to force out the hidden consciousness controlling the Data Panel. His Spiritual Avatar became trapped as the Divine Sea solidified, leaving him unsure whether to risk damaging his soul.

• Jiang Liu realized that the Data Panel’s hidden consciousness might grow stronger with him and could threaten to control him when he reached the God Lord Realm.
• Jiang Liu decided to use the Chaos Sutra’s ability to manifest things from his Divine Sea Space to seize control of the consciousness.
• Gray light gathered around Jiang Liu as the Divine Sea receded and exposed more of his Spiritual Avatar.
• Jiang Liu found no trace of the consciousness, and his Spiritual Avatar became frozen in place as the Divine Sea water solidified.
• Jiang Liu struggled to decide what to do, fearing that his soul might be harmed without the consciousness being forced out.

Jiang Liu forced the consciousness controlling the Data Panel to reveal itself by shattering his Spiritual Avatar and severely damaging his divine soul. He trapped the consciousness with the Kun Qian Imprisonment Mark and discovered from its memories that it was the Heart of the Sky Vault.

• Jiang Liu weighed the threat posed by the hidden consciousness and suspected the Data Panel had a mission of its own.
• Jiang Liu let the pressure of the Divine Sea shatter his Spiritual Avatar, forcing the consciousness to appear in the Spirit Sea Space.
• Jiang Liu filled the Spirit Sea Space with gray seawater formed from Chaotic Power of Rule, which repelled the consciousness when it tried to hide in the Divine Sea.
• The consciousness realized Jiang Liu had lured it out and tried to find a place to hide, knowing it was no match for him.
• Jiang Liu struck the consciousness with the Kun Qian Imprisonment Mark and learned from its memories that it was the Heart of the Sky Vault.

Jiang Liu learned that the Data Panel had been sent by the Supreme Will to modify his aptitude and guide him toward the martial arts peak. After securing control over its supervising consciousness, he gained new insights into the Law Realm as gray radiance gathered around him.

• Jiang Liu condensed a hidden divine soul outside the supervising consciousness's surveillance, then used it to seize control of the Spirit Sea Space and capture the consciousness.
• Jiang Liu discovered that the consciousness had created the Data Panel but only supervised it, and he left a spiritual mark inside it.
• The consciousness revealed that the Supreme Will had dispatched the Data Panel to gradually modify Jiang Liu's aptitude and help him reach the peak of martial artists.
• Jiang Liu learned that the consciousness had nearly chosen a new host because it thought he could no longer complete the mission, but its emergency protocols were its only autonomous authority.
• Jiang Liu considered the limits of the God Lord Realm and gained deeper insight into the Law Realm and the Chaos Sutra as gray radiance gathered around him.

After transforming the Time-Space Rule within his body into Chaos Space, Jiang Liu discovered that the Chaotic Power of Rule greatly strengthened both his Space and Time Rules. He returned to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation and learned that Elder Yun Cheng had advanced to the Third-Order Saint Realm.

• Jiang Liu stopped circulating the Chaos Sutra because his severe injuries had barely improved, then left Winter Rest Palace to return to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
• Jiang Liu found that he could jump to any place within his Divine Sense and that the Chaotic Power of Rule strengthened his control over Space and Time.
• Jiang Liu tested his strengthened Time Rule by creating lingering figures and hand-images, and concluded he could use time manipulation to evade attacks in battle.
• Jiang Liu arrived at the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation and sensed that someone had broken through to the Third-Order Saint Realm.
• Gongsun Haoyue told Jiang Liu that Elder Yun Cheng had made the breakthrough, and she, Jiang Liu, and Flowing Cloud Matriarch entered the formation together.

Jiang Liu agreed to take the women to Winter Rest Palace after they tricked him into allowing a visit to Hun Yi and the Chaos Core. He brought them to the misty boundary, where only he could enter, and led them toward it.

• Jiang Liu learned that the women had pretended to want to visit Hun Qi so he would let them go to Hun Yi and the Chaos Core.
• Jiang Liu agreed that the women could visit Winter Rest Palace and even stay there after he dealt with the Gate of Void.
• Murong Yin arranged a Divine Artifact Starship, and Jiang Liu and the women set off after their meal.
• The Divine Artifact Starship reached the boundary between Hun Yi and the Chaos Core, and Jiang Liu ordered it to return.
• Jiang Liu lifted the women and led them into the hazy white mist that had previously kept them out.

Jiang Liu brought the women into the Winter Rest Palace, introduced them to its spirit, and explained why some of them might face slow cultivation progress. He concealed the Gate of Void with a formation and returned after the women chose where to live.

• Jiang Liu dimmed the Winter Rest Palace’s plaque, easing the oppressive feeling the women had felt upon entering.
• Jiang Liu introduced the Winter Rest Palace Spirit and explained that it was a ten-thousand-year-old spirit with Supreme God Realm strength under his control.
• The women asked how the spirit had lived so long, while Jiang Liu considered their varying cultivation aptitudes and the challenges some would face advancing in the Divine Realm.
• Jiang Liu created a concealment formation around the Gate of Void to keep the women from approaching it.
• Jiang Liu returned to the women and accepted their choice of residences in the Winter Rest Palace.

Jiang Liu moved into the Winter Rest Palace with the women and began cultivating the Fivefold Chaos Techniques, starting with the Art of Attack. His first blade techniques showed promise but remained limited to the level of an ordinary Divine Realm cultivator.

• Jiang Liu warned the women to stay away from the Gate of Void, and they agreed while settling into the renovated Winter Rest Palace.
• After the women settled in, Jiang Liu cultivated with them and then turned to the Fivefold Chaos Techniques.
• Jiang Liu began cultivating the Art of Attack with the Godslayer Blade while the Winter Rest Palace Spirit watched from a safe distance.
