Chapter Summaries

After the West plotted against the East, Hua Tiancheng ordered cultivators to assassinate the meeting’s participants, revealing the power of cultivation and forcing hostile countries to back down. The East then received Ye Qin’s warning that the second wave of the Heaven and Earth Calamity was coming, as Earth plunged into extreme cold and its oceans froze.

• Western countries met in secret to discuss attacking the East, but experts warned that the 3,200-kilometer-thick blizzard clouds made satellite weapons and missiles useless.

• Eastern cultivators assassinated the meeting’s participants and other hostile figures, while surveillance footage revealed their extraordinary abilities and frightened foreign governments.
• The East stopped its operations after hostile countries backed down, and officials recognized the Basic Cultivation Method’s effects as ordinary people reported rapid progress and greater resistance to cold.
• Ye Qin warned the East that the second wave of the Heaven and Earth Calamity was approaching, and Earth grew darker and colder as its oceans froze beneath thousands of meters of ice.

As extreme cold devastated the world, Great Xia kept every city heated with technology linked to the Dragon Origin Mountain Range, while other countries lost millions and struggled to survive. Ye Qin received a broken message from Qing Huan asking for help because the Dao Heaven Sect Outer Sect Migration Division was hunting her.

• Countries designated a handful of safe cities and urged civilians to relocate, while Great Xia announced that every city would receive power, heating, and increased food supplies.
• Great Xia’s heating pipes and power cables continued working in the extreme cold, astonishing foreign leaders and prompting civilians abroad to envy its people.
• The cold intensified as Earth drifted farther from the sun, freezing oceans and cities and killing people, animals, and plants across the globe.
• The Dragon Origin Mountain Range remained warm and evergreen behind an invisible barrier, unaffected by the blizzard.
• Ye Qin received a fragmented transmission from Qing Huan, who said Long Ling’s Dao Heaven Sect Outer Sect Migration Division was hunting her and asked him for help.

Ye Qin decided to travel to the universe in the flesh to rescue Qing Huan, assess the Celestial Sect, and seize the opportunity to learn more about the cosmos. He asked Great Xia to prepare a launch, and the chapter ended with the nation mobilizing around the rocket as the blizzard clouds threatened to make spaceflight impossible.

• Ye Qin chose to send his Nascent Soul and Bone Dragon Spirit toward the universe while his true body stayed behind to guard Earth.
• Ye Qin sent the Siberian Tiger to tell Great Xia that he would leave for the universe the next day and needed its space station’s help.
• The Siberian Tiger told Hua Tiancheng that Ye Qin planned to wage war in the universe and would cross the void in the flesh, shocking him and Great Xia’s senior leaders.
• Li Jianzhong warned that the thick blizzard clouds would prevent a rocket from reaching space, but Hua Tiancheng produced items Ye Qin had provided and reassured him.
• The Great Xia Official mobilized its departments to prepare the launch site, and workers cleared snow around the rocket as the people waited for Ye Qin’s journey.

Long Ling's clone traveled to the aerospace base to cross the universe aboard the Tiangong-hao, protected by formation plates made by Ye Qin. The launch succeeded, and the ship passed through the storm clouds with its systems operating normally as it headed away from Earth.

• Staff installed Ye Qin's formation plates around the Tiangong-hao, activating a golden barrier that shielded the ship from the blizzard.
• Hua Tiancheng and Li Jianzhong welcomed Long Ling's clone at the aerospace department, where she boarded the Tiangong-hao without a spacesuit.

• The formation plates protected the ship from fierce winds and ice currents, opening a glowing passage through the clouds as the ship vanished from view.
• Li Jianzhong received reports that the Tiangong-hao's tracking, systems, and flight were normal as it headed away from Earth.

Great Xia’s rocket pierced the blizzard clouds and docked with the space station, while other countries mistook the launch for a show of military power. Long Ling’s clone then appeared in space without protection, astonishing observers across Great Xia and the Longyuan Celestial Sect.

• Workers in the Tsarist State’s satellite control room detected Great Xia’s rocket and watched it pass safely through the blizzard clouds inside a layer of golden light.

As the Heaven and Earth Calamity drove temperatures below minus 150 degrees and disabled heating across Great Xia, the authorities distributed body-tempering pills made by Ye Qin and the demons of the Dragon Origin Mountain Range. In freezing Lin City, Mayor Li Xun took one to test its effects and discovered that it had filled his body with intense warmth.

• Ye Qin’s pills were distributed throughout Great Xia, with nearly a hundred thousand sent to most of the country’s 663 cities and about twenty million kept in Kyoto.
• Hua Tiancheng and the Cultivation Bureau tested the pills, then arranged for ninety million small boxes to be manufactured and carefully packed and catalogued the pills for distribution.
• Severe storms damaged Lin City’s power, heating, and fuel lines, leaving residents struggling in freezing buildings, especially children, the elderly, and the infirm.
• Lin City officials reported that their limited fuel could sustain residents for only three or four days, and Li Xun proposed trying the city’s medicinal pills.
• Li Xun swallowed a pill that initially seemed to have no effect, then felt heat surge through his body until he was warm and sweating.

The Mayor of Lin City discovered that Ye Qin’s pill released overwhelming heat and vital energy, allowing people across Daxia to withstand the extreme cold. As Daxia distributed the pills and rescued its disaster zones, other nations continued to collapse and resent its success.

• The Mayor of Lin City swallowed a pill, erupted with heat, and rushed into the negative 170-degree blizzard in only his underpants.
• After the mayor’s furnace-like state lasted more than an hour, he ordered the pills distributed first to children, the elderly, and people near collapse.
• Civilians across Daxia took the pills, recovered from the cold, and radiated enough heat to warm those around them.
• As the cold wave devastated countries around the world, foreign leaders criticized Daxia’s effort to protect everyone and grew resentful of its apparent success.
• Pills from the Dragon Origin Mountain Range transformed Daxia’s disaster zones, where people gathered, cultivated, and sometimes ran outside to cool down.

Great Xia’s cold-resisting pills helped citizens endure the extreme cold, and the Great Xia Official published a recipe so people could refine more. The nationwide alchemy craze produced many failed furnaces but eventually yielded enough pills for ordinary citizens, while foreigners could not reproduce them without Great Xia’s cultivation method.

• Pills from the Dragon Origin Mountain Range helped Great Xia’s citizens endure the cold and raised their cultivation, stunning foreign officials who watched videos of people braving minus-170-degree weather.
• Hua Tiancheng organized efforts to replicate the pills, and the Great Xia Official published a recipe and demonstrated how to refine them.
• People across Great Xia tried alchemy, but most attempts failed and caused furnace explosions; a small number of cultivators successfully made weaker pills.
• After the alchemy craze lasted around ten days, successfully refined pills helped ordinary citizens withstand the cold and leave their homes.
• Foreigners stole Great Xia’s instructional video and tried the recipe, but they produced only ash because they lacked the basic cultivation method and vital energy.

Earth’s extreme cold devastated life worldwide, while Great Xia endured and Washington D.C. collapsed into a deadly riot later known as the “Washington D.C. Transformation.” In space, Long Ling’s avatar arrived just as the wounded Qing Huan was about to be overwhelmed by Celestial Sect disciples, and offered to take her away.

• Temperatures plunged toward -200 degrees, freezing most ocean life and wiping out countless plants and people around the world, while Great Xia survived with the help of pills.
• Washington D.C. officials reduced food and heating supplies despite abundant reserves, provoking a riot that destroyed the city’s power and heating systems and left countless people dead.
• Hua Tiancheng reviewed reports of Washington D.C.’s collapse and worried that Great Xia could not endure the blizzard indefinitely.
• Five Celestial Sect Migration Division disciples cornered the injured Qing Huan on a desolate planet and attacked her with a formation.
• Qing Huan’s Ice Soul Sword attack failed to stop the disciples, who advanced as she reached her limit.
• Long Ling’s avatar struck the disciples, reunited with Qing Huan, and offered to take her away.

Long Ling's clone helped Qing Huan escape the Heavenly Sect, defeating their disciples with her techniques and Ye Qin's Azure Dragon. With the sect's pursuers closing in, the two entered a Cosmic Forbidden Zone, where Long Ling's clone sensed a mysterious connection and Star Beasts were said to dwell.

• Long Ling's clone fought off the Heavenly Sect disciples, while Ye Qin summoned an Azure Dragon that scattered them and let the pair escape.
• Elder Ming ordered more Heavenly Sect disciples to pursue Qing Huan and Long Ling's clone.
• Qing Huan discovered the Heavenly Sect had planted a tracking technique on her, but the pair continued fleeing despite her serious injuries.

• Qing Huan and Long Ling's clone entered the forbidden zone, while the Heavenly Sect pursuers stopped outside and retreated after their tracking butterfly halted.

Long Ling's clone learned from Qing Huan that restricted zones formed around Star Beasts and that sects were building Signal Towers to reach a mysterious world. Following a call, she found a Star Beast's resting place and decided its star could protect Earth from the Celestial Sect.

• Long Ling's clone shielded Qing Huan from the restricted zone's power, which drained Qing Huan's cultivation, while remaining unaffected herself.

• Long Ling's clone left Qing Huan to recover and followed a mysterious call through the starfield to a barren star she believed held a Star Beast.
• Long Ling's clone realized that bringing the Star Beast's star to the Solar System could deter the Celestial Sect from threatening Earth.

Long Ling's clone entered the Star Beast's dreamscape, befriended the juvenile creature, and led it out of the forbidden zone. She then directed the Star Beast toward the Heavenly Sect's Signal Tower, while Elder Ming's group realized the enormous moving star had followed them back to their stronghold.

• Long Ling's clone sensed that the star was a living Star Beast and sent Qing Huan safely out of the forbidden zone before returning alone.
• Using Dreamscape Divine Ability, Long Ling's clone entered the Star Beast's dreamscape and found a small, curious creature that mistook her for one of its kind.
• Long Ling's clone revealed her Azure Dragon form, persuaded the Star Beast to follow her, and led it out of the forbidden zone as its immense power shook nearby stars.
• Long Ling's clone redirected the pursuing Star Beast toward the Heavenly Sect's Signal Tower and sent the fleeing Heavenly Sect disciples into a panic.
• The Heavenly Sect disciples returned to Elder Ming and reported that Qing Huan had perished in the forbidden zone, but they froze when the strange star appeared above the stronghold.

Long Ling's clone used the Star Beast to damage the Heavenly Sect's Signal Tower, weakening the force behind Earth's blizzard before returning toward Earth. The Heavenly Sect dispatched investigators, while Great Xia's Cultivation Bureau noticed the snow easing and learned that something was approaching Earth near the space station.

• Long Ling's clone brought the Star Beast to the Heavenly Sect's base, where its power shattered the defensive formation and damaged the Signal Tower.

• At the Great Xia Cultivation Bureau, Hua Tiancheng noticed the blizzard easing and ordered an investigation.
• Li Jianzhong reported new activity at the space station, where instruments detected something rapidly approaching Earth.

Long Ling's clone returned to Earth with the Star Beast, a colossal celestial body, and assured Daxia that it would protect the planet without harming it. He guided the Star Beast into orbit beside the moon, where it settled as Ye Qin and the great demons sensed its arrival.

• The space station detected a massive celestial body following Long Ling's clone, and Hua Tiancheng realized the demon master had brought it back.
• Long Ling's clone told Daxia that the celestial body would protect Earth and prevent anyone from acting recklessly when the Signal Tower was completed.
• Ye Qin reassured the great demons that his clone had returned from the universe with a great gift for Earth.
• Long Ling's clone used his divine ability to guide the Star Beast to a position forty thousand kilometers from Earth, beside the moon.
• The Star Beast settled near Earth and recognized the demonic aura permeating the planet as familiar.

A Star Beast approached Earth and began forming a forbidden zone, terrifying people around the world who mistook it for an incoming meteorite. Great Xia announced that Dragon Origin Mountain Range had created the celestial body, named Dragon Origin Star, and that it posed no danger, while foreign governments remained baffled by its impossible properties.

• The Star Beast's power disturbed nearby celestial bodies and began forming a forbidden zone, while Earth remained unaffected.
• Tsarist State and other countries detected a massive celestial body approaching Earth as the blizzard weakened, and people overseas watched it grow until it resembled a second moon.
• Cultivators in Great Xia felt oppressive pressure from the approaching Star Beast, and many people became frightened by the strange celestial body overhead.
• The Great Xia Official announced that Dragon Origin Mountain Range had created Dragon Origin Star, which had stabilized in the Solar System and posed no danger to Earth.
• Foreign governments questioned how Great Xia had created the celestial body, but Great Xia refused to explain, and scientists could not account for its lack of gravitational effects.

The Heavenly Sect discovered that a newly forming forbidden zone surrounded Earth after a Star Beast’s power damaged its Signal Tower, and the Second Elder ordered the area avoided while construction continued. As reduced radiation brought Earth’s catastrophic winter to an end, people began rebuilding, while Great Xia’s leaders prepared for Earth’s coming transformation when the tower was completed.

• The Second Elder’s disciples found Elder Ming and the Migration Division collapsed, and Elder Ming blamed the forbidden zone for the attack.
• The Second Elder failed to probe Earth, sensed a Star Beast’s pressure, and declared the surrounding star sector a forbidden zone.
• The Second Elder ordered the Heavenly Sect to keep away from Earth and continue building the Signal Tower with reduced radiation.
• As radiation diminished, Earth’s blizzards weakened, the clouds cleared, and people emerged to celebrate the end of the extreme cold and begin rebuilding.
• Hua Tiancheng and the others remained wary because the Demon Master had warned that the calm was temporary, and Ye Qin expected Earth to enter a new era once the Signal Tower was completed.

As the global freeze ended, Great Xia sensed a more terrifying calamity approaching and warned the world, though foreign governments publicly dismissed the danger. Black ash then fell across Earth, and the Great Xia Cultivation Bureau hurried to finish a formation around Magic City before the next disaster arrived.

• Hua Tiancheng ordered Great Xia to warn its people to stay vigilant and continue cultivating as pressure gathered within Earth.
• Great Xia issued a worldwide warning that the end of the freeze marked the beginning of another calamity, prompting panic and disbelief abroad.
• Foreign governments reassured their populations that conditions were returning to normal, even as their leaders privately feared Great Xia's prediction was accurate.
• Black mist and ash appeared across the world, and Magic City's residents sheltered indoors while Cultivation Bureau members inscribed runes throughout the city.
• At Magic City's municipal hall, a Cultivation Bureau leader learned the formation was unfinished and ordered the workers to speed up preparations.

The Heaven and Earth Calamity struck Magic City and cities across the world with black tides and other disasters, overwhelming defenses and killing countless people. As the black waves continued to swallow Magic City, the young man ordered the remaining civilians to evacuate to higher ground.

• The young man warned the Cultivation Bureau that the calamity had reached Magic City and helped activate its golden defensive formations.
• A giant tsunami struck Magic City, briefly held back by the barrier before a second wave shattered it and flooded the city.
• Disasters devastated cities around the world, while nearly half of Earth was covered by black tides.
• Hua Tiancheng struggled to coordinate Great Xia's defenses and learned that the Dragon Origin Mountain Range would not yet activate the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron.
• The black tide swallowed more of Magic City and swept away Cultivation Bureau members, so the young man ordered civilians to flee to higher ground.

As acid rain and the black tide threatened to overwhelm Great Xia, Ye Qin activated the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron and rose from the Dragon Origin Mountain Range to confront the spreading fissure in the sky. He used the cauldron’s power to purge the radiation and begin mending the heavens.

• A Cultivation Bureau team in Magic City tried to protect stranded residents as the black tide approached, but a fissure opened overhead and corrosive rain weakened their formation.
• The Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldron activated across Great Xia, raising golden runes and pillars of light that shielded people from the acid rain.
• As the fissure widened and the cauldron’s light dimmed, Ye Qin gathered its runes and origin power in the Dragon Origin Mountain Range.
• Ye Qin transformed into a colossal dragon and flew toward the abyss as the nine great cauldrons and their phantoms rose to guard Great Xia.
• Ye Qin sent the cauldron’s light into the fissure, devouring its radiation, cleansing the black energy, and beginning to repair the sky.

Radiation from the Signal Tower converged on Great Xia, causing the sky to fracture again, but Ye Qin awakened the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldrons to absorb it. After the cauldrons survived a thunder tribulation and became immortal weapons, Ye Qin announced that Great Xia was safe, and its people celebrated the dawn of a new era.

• Li Jianzhong and Hua Tiancheng realized that radiation from across the world was converging over Great Xia, while the aerospace department’s instruments failed to analyze it.
• Ye Qin sensed the danger as the sky split open and the blackness overwhelmed Great Xia, then called forth the strength of the people and the Nine Provinces Immortal Cauldrons.
• The nine cauldrons rose across Great Xia, gained dragon forms, and devoured most of the blackness and radiation.
• A thunder tribulation struck the cauldrons; Ye Qin let them endure it themselves, and they emerged as immortal weapons.
• Ye Qin flew toward the cauldrons and announced that Great Xia was safe, prompting people across the country to celebrate and welcome a new era.
