Chapter Summaries

Zhang Zhi's Spiritual Treasure Small World underwent successive Heaven and Earth Trials as it advanced through five stages, with each round producing increasingly numerous Chaos Monsters. The final wave unexpectedly included nearly a hundred Weak Divine Power Realm monsters, leaving Zhang Zhi to realize the trial had been intensified because of his world's unusual nature.

• Zhang Zhi watched the first Heaven and Earth Assessment conclude, and two Light Spheres appeared where the final boss monsters died.
• The second and third assessments arrived in succession, each producing ten times as many Chaos Monsters as before and dropping three and then four Light Clusters.
• As the fourth assessment began, the Small World's inhabitants feared that further waves could overwhelm them, and a Human Race Deity said Zhang Zhi seemed basically satisfied with their conduct.
• After the fourth assessment's Demigod Realm monsters were defeated, the Deity Realm beings assigned each race to defend its territory and sent half the human cultivators to support the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.
• The final wave brought nearly a hundred Weak Divine Power Realm Chaos Monsters alongside more than ten thousand Legendary and Demigod Realm monsters, and Zhang Zhi concluded that the trial had been intensified because of his Small World's special nature.

Chaos tribulation lightning struck the Phoenix Race leader and its Innate Spiritual Treasure, then unexpectedly targeted Zhang Zhi before the Small Broken Bell protected him. As four more bolts formed outside the Small World, Zhang Zhi was left trying to understand the lightning mechanism.

• A bolt of tribulation lightning struck the Phoenix Race leader, leaving it unconscious and badly injured.
• A second bolt pursued the leader’s White Light Innate Spiritual Treasure and struck it, damaging it before it flew toward the Parasol Tree.
• The Phoenix Race members discussed the lightning and wondered whether the World Master had sent it as a warning.
• A third bolt struck Zhang Zhi, but the Small Broken Bell blocked it before it could harm him.
• Zhang Zhi considered whether the lightning targeted Innate Spiritual Treasures, then saw four bolts condense at once outside the Small World.

Zhang Zhi watched the Heavenly Tribulations strike the Dragon Palace, the Human Race Secret Vault, and the Parasol Tree, while his Small Broken Bell gained a reward that repaired it. He chose to give the battered Three-in-One Innate Spiritual Treasure destiny to face its final tribulation itself, and it survived, though its condition was unclear.

• Four tribulations struck toward Zhang Zhi, the Dragon Palace, the Human Race Secret Vault, and the Parasol Tree; the vault’s formations bought the Three-in-One Innate Dragon Treasure time to flee.
• The Parasol Tree lost a long section of its trunk and its flames dwindled, while Zhang Zhi wondered whether its Companion Spiritual Treasure had survived the tribulation.
• After the Small Broken Bell blocked a third tribulation, Zhang Zhi sensed a reward repairing it and realized it had received the Treasure Pagoda’s reward.
• Zhang Zhi tried to intercept the Dragon Palace’s tribulation but learned that only an Innate Spiritual Treasure’s master or bearer could block it.
• Zhang Zhi gave destiny to the Three-in-One Innate Spiritual Treasure and told it to withstand its final tribulation itself; the phoenix patriarch also woke as the Parasol Tree showed signs of a reward.
• The Three-in-One Innate Spiritual Treasure lay blackened in a pit after the final tribulations, but a faint White Light showed that it had survived.

Zhang Zhi watched several Innate Spiritual Treasures undergo tribulations, but the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s mirror was shattered by an escalating series of Chaos Thunder bolts. The thunder vanished after the mirror broke, leaving Zhang Zhi to wonder what taboo the treasure had violated as he collected its fragments.

• Zhang Zhi saw the Dragon Palace survive its tribulation with cracks and collapsed halls, then noticed three more bolts of Chaos Thunder forming.
• Zhang Zhi hurried to the Three-in-One Innate Spiritual Treasure, but the three bolts struck the southern part of the Small World instead.
• Zhang Zhi found the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan’s mirror shattered and realized it had failed its tribulation.
• Six more Chaos Thunder bolts appeared, frightening the Small World’s inhabitants, but they dissipated after the mirror’s destruction.
• Zhang Zhi collected the mirror fragments and left, while nearby Nine-Tailed Foxes assumed he had shattered the mirror to warn their clan.

After the tribulation ended, Zhang Zhi assessed the Small World’s losses and found that the five Heaven and Earth Assessments had left rewards to collect. He opened the first Light Cluster and received an unidentified World Trait, then reached for the next one.

• Zhang Zhi confirmed that the Chaos Thunder had stopped and the Innate Spiritual Treasures had survived their tribulations.
• The Small World’s cultivators learned that the Phoenix clan leader and the Parasol Tree had gained benefits from being struck by lightning, and they wondered what the Dragon Palace, Qingqiu, and the Human Race’s Capital City had gained.
• Zhang Zhi assessed the final Chaos Monster attack’s casualties, including three Weak Deity Realm cultivators, eleven Demigod Realm cultivators, and more than three thousand Extraordinary Realm cultivators.
• Zhang Zhi set aside his suspicions that other races had manipulated the Monster Race’s losses and turned his attention to the rewards from the five assessments.
• Zhang Zhi absorbed a Light Cluster, which imprinted an unidentified World Trait on his World Bead, and reached for the second one.

Zhang Zhi discovered a Ginseng Fruit Tree fragment among the Light Cluster rewards and watched the Small World receive the Heaven and Earth Feedback for five completed trials. After searching the newly cleared space around the world for several hours, he turned to another reward and found a fragment of Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation.

• Zhang Zhi identified a Light Cluster's reward as a genuine Ginseng Fruit Tree fragment and stored the sapling for planting in a place rich in spiritual energy.
• The Sea of Chaos churned, frightening the Small World's inhabitants, who feared another attack by Chaos Monsters.
• Land, mountains, rivers, and Spiritual Rain entered the Small World as Heaven and Earth Feedback, and the Golden Crows realized it was a reward rather than another trial.
• Zhang Zhi watched the feedback clear thousands of kilometers of space around the Small World, but found nothing there despite observing for several hours.
• Zhang Zhi opened another Light Cluster and discovered a copy of Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation—Fragment.

Zhang Zhi examined a powerful Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation Fragment and obtained the Two Realms Gate, which could connect distant worlds but might not pass through teleportation devices. As he considered how to use it, he spotted an Extraordinary Realm Cat Monster that seemed able to see him through his invisibility.

• Zhang Zhi realized the Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation Fragment contained profound techniques that might reach the Intermediate Divine Power Realm or higher, and planned to let the Three-in-One Innate Spiritual Treasure and Yang study it.
• Zhang Zhi obtained the Outstanding People, Spiritual Land trait and a Two Realms Gate that could connect any two worlds without using energy.
• Zhang Zhi considered using a Blank Card to seal the Two Realms Gate's handle, but decided to save the gate for important locations such as the Demon Lord World Region.
• Zhang Zhi went to another area to inspect four Light Clusters and noticed an Extraordinary Realm Cat Monster staring at him despite his concealment through the World Bead.

Zhang Zhi discovered that a Cat Monster’s unusual Eye Technique could perceive hidden things, including his concealed form, and tested its ability. The Cat Monster spotted an anomaly far to the southeast of the Small World, while two monster deities and their followers arrived and knelt before Zhang Zhi.

• Zhang Zhi approached the Cat Monster and learned that its eyes let it see the world as lines, revealing objects hidden inside a stone and grass.
• The Cat Monster claimed its Eye Technique came from an unknown fruit, but admitted it was innate after recognizing Zhang Zhi as the Master of the World.
• Zhang Zhi asked the Cat Monster to inspect the Chaos beyond the Small World, and it strained its eyes while searching.
• The Cat Monster reported that the lines far to the southeast differed from those elsewhere, surprising Zhang Zhi.
• Two monster deities, dozens of demigods, and Legendary Realm monsters arrived and knelt before Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi rejected the Elephant Demon's plea for pity but permitted the monsters to establish a kingdom on newly opened land if they could manage it. He then investigated a strange area the Cat Monster had mentioned, found nothing, and discovered the Heavenly Dipper divine ability Drawing Ground as Prison among the fallen Light Clusters.

• The Elephant Demon and other monsters begged Zhang Zhi to show mercy, but Zhang Zhi pointed out that monsters suffered most from their own internal violence.
• The Elephant Demon asked permission to establish a Monster Race Kingdom on the new land, and Zhang Zhi agreed as long as the monsters could build it themselves.
• Zhang Zhi told the Elephant Demon that the monsters would need to give him a reason to value them, then praised the Cat Monster and departed.
• Zhang Zhi searched the direction of the unusual area the Cat Monster had described but found nothing and moved on to the fourth Light Cluster site.
• Zhang Zhi found a book describing the Heavenly Dipper divine ability Drawing Ground as Prison, which could fix space and imprison enemies.

Zhang Zhi examined the rewards from the Spiritual Treasure Small World, considered the Dragon Palace’s new authority and the mysterious mirror’s powers, and left uncertain what the mirror truly was. He planned to bring Ao Guang into the world later and suspected the mirror could conceal its secrets even from the World Bead.

• Zhang Zhi speculated that combining Eight-Nine Mystic Cultivation with Heavenly Stems might let cultivators use One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, perhaps even creating nine identical versions of themselves.
• Zhang Zhi opened all the Light Spheres, found five World Traits, and noted that he would need to identify three of them later.
• Zhang Zhi discovered that the Dragon Palace had become Dragon Palace (True) and considered leaving its Dragon King position vacant until Ao Guang could enter the world and build up his strength.
• Zhang Zhi saw a faint Black Shadow within the Three-in-One Innate Spiritual Treasure’s ring of light and learned that its tribulation reward had helped heal and nourish it.
• Zhang Zhi questioned four Nine-Tailed Foxes about their mirror, and they explained that it had shown scenes of his arrival and later events without their control.
• Zhang Zhi concluded that the mirror could conceal its nature and Karma from the World Bead, making it an extraordinary object.

Zhang Zhi investigated the shattered mirror and learned from the World Bead that it was a mutated replica of a powerful Spiritual Treasure, though its origins remained unclear. As the Small World continued expanding, he recognized the Cat Monster’s exceptional vision and gave it a Treasure Pagoda to summon if it faced danger.

• Zhang Zhi questioned the Nine-Tailed Foxes about the mirror’s visions and concluded that its use of the Time Law had drawn the Multiverse’s attention and triggered its devastating tribulation.
• Zhang Zhi examined a mirror fragment with the World Bead, which identified it as a fragment of a mutated replica of an incomparably powerful Spiritual Treasure.
• Zhang Zhi inspected the recuperating Spiritual Treasure beside the Parasol Tree and observed the Small World expanding under the continuing Heaven and Earth Feedback.
• Zhang Zhi realized the Cat Monster could see far beyond the Small World and decided to protect and nurture it.
• Zhang Zhi gave the Cat Monster a Treasure Pagoda and told it to call out, “Treasure Pagoda Subdues the River Demon,” if it encountered danger.

After the Small World expanded enormously, Zhang Zhi planned how to populate it and separate the races to prevent renewed conflicts. He ordered the Golden Crows to prepare to move to the Land of the Extreme East, and they accepted while wondering whether the other races would also be relocated.

• The Heaven and Earth Feedback lasted thirteen days and expanded the Small World's diameter to nearly two hundred thousand kilometers, leaving Zhang Zhi to plan how to add water, plants, animals, and people.
• Zhang Zhi decided the Four Races should eventually move to the world's four extremes, though the Yinglong Race would have to wait until the Small World had enough water.
• After finding no suspicious places in the empty space around the Small World, Zhang Zhi appeared in the Golden Crow Race's Council Hall and ordered them to guard the Land of the Extreme East.
• Zhang Zhi promised to move Fumu, the Golden Crows' Mother Tree, and gave them time to prepare before he departed.
• The Golden Crows accepted the order and discussed whether their relocation was punishment or an opportunity, then wondered if all Four Races would move while the Human Race stayed in the Central Land.

Zhang Zhi researched three World Traits, including the dangerous-sounding Everyone Like Dragons, while preparing the Spiritual Treasure Small World for its Ghost Gate Pass opening. The Ghost Gate Pass appeared at Fengdu, and Zhang Zhi told Yang it would become a gateway through which he could meet Hu'er.

• After leaving the Golden Crow Race, Zhang Zhi notified the other three races and told Yang that the Four Races would soon leave so he could inform the human race.
• At Fengjing University's library, Zhang Zhi learned about Endless Growth and Spiritual Resonance and Talent, and considered how they could affect the Small World and its races.
• Zhang Zhi found the restricted World Trait Everyone Like Dragons and learned that humans in a previous Small World had rebelled against their Master; he decided to observe his own humans carefully.
• After several days of refining cards, Zhang Zhi watched the Ghost Gate Pass vortex form at Fengdu and realized it opened according to the Spiritual Treasure Small World's calendar.
• Zhang Zhi summoned Yang, promised he could meet Hu'er, and explained that the vortex would become the Ghost Gate Pass before a majestic gateway appeared.

Zhang Zhi opened the Ghost Gate Pass in the Spiritual Treasure World and explained that it led to the Underworld, allowing Yang to reunite with Hu'er, who had died centuries earlier. After Zhang Zhi helped the souls gather, monsters attacked the gate and were destroyed, but it closed before many souls could enter, leaving Yang and Hu'er to part again.

• Zhang Zhi explained that the Ghost Gate Pass led to the Underworld and that Yang could meet Hu'er again because she had been a deity.
• Zhang Zhi entered the Underworld to investigate the gate, then returned as souls began gathering around Fengdu.
• Yang found Hu'er among the souls, and Zhang Zhi warned that she needed to remain in the Underworld and offered Yang a cultivation method to communicate with Underworld Creatures.
• Black Holes appeared near the Ghost Gate Pass, but the nearby Deity Realm beings destroyed the monsters under Zhang Zhi's instructions.
• The Ghost Gate Pass closed while many souls remained outside, and Yang and Hu'er said a lingering farewell.

Zhang Zhi handled the consequences of the Ghost Gate Pass opening across several worlds, while the Main World’s rapid growth in cultivators led Professor Zou to explain why the class would inspect the Chaos. The chapter ended with the class preparing to examine Chaos Crystals as advancing Small Worlds altered the Chaos around their region.

• Yang charged through the Ghost Gate Pass into the Underworld to reunite with Hu'er, and Zhang Zhi warned him that cultivating the Six Paths of Reincarnation Path would require him to disperse his cultivation.
• Zhang Zhi visited the Qi Refinement Small World, told the Research Institute that the Underworld’s new human souls could support suspended mech studies, and discussed preparations for contact between the worlds with Fang Yun.
• Zhang Zhi notified the Twelve Dynasties about the influx of human and other souls, then visited the Trial Tower, where humans in other regions were trying to help their mutated kin.
• In the Spiritual Treasure Small World, races developed their new territories, and the Elephant Demon led many demons, including seven other demon deities, into desolate regions.
• Professor Zou told the class that humanity’s gains in destiny and fortune had sharply increased the number of Masters of the World, then explained that advancing Small Worlds converted Chaos Qi and restored nearby Chaos Crystals.
• Professor Zou explained that the class would inspect the Chaos because changes in Chaos Qi had made examining the crystals between World Regions necessary.

Professor Zou took Zhang Zhi and his classmates on a patrol through the chaos, where they learned about humanity’s concealed Death Star fortress and explored the surrounding region. On the eleventh day, Zixia detected unusually thin Chaos Qi, suggesting a world was nearby, and Zhang Zhi summoned more than a hundred Legendary Realm cultivators to help locate it.

• Professor Zou warned the class that they might encounter an unfamiliar foreign race during their patrol and told them to use Cloud-Piercing Arrows if they noticed danger.
• Professor Zou brought the class to a vast, heavily defended Death Star fortress and assigned them exercises to learn how to navigate and survive in the chaos.
• Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan, and their companions explored the fortress and then ventured outside with Teleportation Talismans and Positioning Talismans.
• Zhang Zhi and the others spent the following days patrolling the chaos, encountering four Chaos Qi outbreaks and defeating the monsters they found.
• On the eleventh day, Zixia noticed that the Chaos Qi was thinner nearby, and Zhang Zhi summoned more than a hundred Legendary Realm cultivators to search for the world causing it.

Zhang Zhi, Zixia, and Liu Wanwan found a world protected by human cultivators following the Heavenly Court Cultivation Path, while a large battle raged against an unfamiliar foreign race. After killing a patrol squad, they stayed at the edge of the battlefield to avoid drawing too much attention as teams from both sides approached.

• Liu Wanwan sensed that one of her Retainers had disappeared, and the group followed the thinning Chaos Qi toward its last location.
• They heard a massive battle ahead, and Zixia estimated that at least two hundred thousand cultivators were fighting, with the strongest reaching the Low Divine Power Realm.
• Liu Xiaoxiao returned to the fortress to report the discovery while Zhang Zhi, Zixia, and Liu Wanwan continued forward.
• The group found a Middle Thousand World ringed by towers and city walls, where human cultivators fought an unfamiliar foreign race.
• A foreign-race patrol charged at them, and Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan summoned cultivators who defeated it, attracting the attention of both sides.
• Zhang Zhi decided to wait at the battlefield's edge rather than risk encountering a Deity Realm existence near the main fighting.

Zhang Zhi encountered True Person Qingshan’s human squad as they faced the Mad Demons, and Zixia revealed overwhelming power by knocking out an entire enemy force. When more Mad Demons arrived with two Heavenly Generals and seven Spirit Gods, Qingshan suspected Zhang Zhi’s group included a Heavenly God-level being.

• True Person Qingshan introduced himself as a Great Spirit General and questioned Zhang Zhi about his origins, while Zhang Zhi learned that the local Heavenly Court system differed from the one he knew.
• Qingshan used his divine eyes to identify Zixia as nonhuman and noticed that Zhang Zhi’s Legendary Realm Retainers did not resemble any life-form he knew.
• As Qingshan considered retreating from three Great Spirit Generals and a thousand Mad Demons, Zixia cast a giant lotus that rendered the entire enemy group unconscious.
• The Mad Demons sent a larger force, and Qingshan learned it included two Heavenly Generals and seven Spirit Gods.
• Zhang Zhi asked why the enemy were called Mad Demons, and Qingshan realized that Zhang Zhi’s group seemed unafraid because Zixia might be a Heavenly God Realm existence.

Zhang Zhi learned how Mad Cultivators used extreme emotions to grow stronger and why their ruthless practices had earned them the name of demons. After asking about the invading forces and the local cultivation ranks, he confirmed to True Person Qingshan that his group came from the world this realm originated from.

• True Person Qingshan explained that Mad Cultivators strengthened themselves by cultivating emotions, especially anger, and released those emotions as corrupting spells.
• True Person Qingshan described how Mad Cultivators committed atrocities to obtain extreme emotions and used Breeding Worlds to replenish their numbers.
• Zhang Zhi asked about the invasion, and True Person Qingshan said five legions had attacked for nearly three months, with many Heavenly General-level fighters and a suspected Heavenly God commander.
• Zhang Zhi asked True Person Qingshan to explain the realm hierarchy, from Mortal Soldiers and Mortal Officials up through Spirit Gods, Heavenly Generals, Heavenly Gods, and Heavenly Emperors.
• True Person Qingshan asked whether Zhang Zhi and his companions came from another world, and Zhang Zhi confirmed they came from the world this realm originated from.

Zhang Zhi revealed the power of his Treasure Pagoda by crushing a Mad Demon Heavenly General’s heavenly mandate, while True Person Qingshan explained the vast formation protecting the human realm. As Mad Demons moved to ambush the human reinforcements, Zhang Zhi prepared to show Qingshan and the others how powerful humanity had become in the Ancestral Land.

• True Person Qingshan learned that Zhang Zhi came from the Ancestral Land and asked about its fate, but the approaching Mad Demons interrupted their conversation.
• After a Mad Demon Heavenly General mocked the women among the humans, Zhang Zhi struck him with the Treasure Pagoda and collapsed him by crushing his heavenly mandate.
• The Mad Demons retreated, and True Person Qingshan concluded that Zhang Zhi must be a Heavenly Emperor or even stronger; Zhang Zhi explained that using the pagoda consumed heavenly mandate.
• Zixia sensed two Intermediate Divine Power Realm Mad Demons approaching, and True Person Qingshan explained that more than two hundred thousand city walls formed the Five Heavens Nine Luminaries Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches God-Slaying Grand Formation.
• Liu Wanwan confirmed that they would arrive in time as the Mad Demons turned to ambush the human reinforcements, and Zhang Zhi asked Qingshan whether he wanted to see how powerful their human race had become.
