Chapter Summaries

Old Man Zi learned that the Taiyin Sacred Lord planned to send Sky Zenith Domain disciples into the Primal Spirit Domain to destroy the Shangqing Sect, and Long Ling decided to enter the Sky Zenith Domain herself to prevent the invasion and study its laws.

As Earth cultivators prepared to protect the Demon Master, the orthodox Daoist lineages of the Sky Zenith Domain prepared to invade the Primal Spirit Domain and destroy the Shangqing Sect. Their attempt to break through the domain’s taboo laws triggered a battle between the Curse Spirit and a deathly white-bone body released from eight ancient boxes.

• Hua Tiancheng ordered the Great Xia Cultivation Bureau to speed up research and send powerful weapons to the Primal Spirit Domain after learning the Demon Master planned to enter the Sky Zenith Domain.
• Hu Xiaocao urged thirty Longyuan Celestial Sect disciples to grow strong enough to protect the Demon Master, and the yellow weasel teacher took them away for brutal training.

• The Curse Spirit appeared above the Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss as the domain’s taboo laws reacted to the intrusion.
• Eight ancient boxes opened, releasing bones that joined into a white-bone body, which fought the Curse Spirit as nearby cultivators wondered if the boxes came from the ancient Bronze Immortal Palace.

The eight ancient boxes’ Bone Person defeated the Curse Spirit, allowing eight sect geniuses to enter the Primal Spirit Domain inside an ice lotus. As the positive and negative cyclones erupted across the Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss and swept away cultivators, an enormous Bone Avatar appeared and protected those carrying the Penguin Jade Slip.

• Cosmos cultivators watched Bone Person and Curse Spirit weaken each other as the spatial rifts began to close and the laws of the Giant Spirit Realm battered the attacking experts.
• An expert sacrificed golden blood to empower Bone Person, and Bone Person destroyed Curse Spirit before becoming an ice lotus formed from the eight ancient bones.
• Eight geniuses, including Xi Wudi, Wu Mengsheng, and Azure Wave Fairy, took their positions on the ice lotus as the sects prepared to send them through the passage to the Primal Spirit Domain.
• A voice warned the geniuses to cross the positive and negative cyclones, reach the Abyssal Heaven, and return within half an incense stick before the ice lotus plunged into the Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss.
• The cyclones erupted and swept cultivators away, but an enormous Bone Avatar appeared and wrapped cultivators carrying the Penguin Jade Slip in a protective force.

The Dragon Origin Demon Master's Bone Avatar erased the positive and negative vortices and drew worship from Cosmos cultivators carrying Penguin Jade Slips. When the Yellow Springs and its people-devouring Ancient Coffins emerged from the Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss, the avatar halted the flood and forced it to flow back into the depths.

• Panicked cultivators crowded around the Bone Avatar, and some tried to take Penguin Jade Slips from their owners as the Yellow Springs advanced.
• The Bone Avatar invoked “Boundless Blessings,” unleashed ten thousand streams of dragon qi, and reversed the Yellow Springs back toward the depths of the Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss.

A Bone Avatar suppressed the Yellow Springs eruption in the Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss, and the ice encasing a giant lotus broke apart to reveal the trapped Righteous Dao prodigies. Xi Wudi and the others realized they had returned to the same place instead of reaching the Primal Spirit Domain, and Xi Wudi confronted the Bone Avatar.

• The Bone Avatar drove the Yellow Springs back into the Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss, where the water froze around a giant lotus.
• The ice pillar collapsed, revealing the lotus and prompting Cosmos cultivators to realize the Righteous Dao forces had failed to send their prodigies to the Primal Spirit Domain.

• The Righteous Dao prodigies recognized their journey had brought them back to the same place, while Cosmos cultivators celebrated their failed mission.
• Xi Wudi spotted the Bone Avatar and asked whether it was responsible for what had happened.

• Bone Avatar turned translucent and allowed Xi Wudi's sword intent to pass through him, shocking Xi Wudi and the Cosmos cultivators.

Xi Wudi unleashed Taiyin Sacred Ground’s Heavenly Sword Forbidden Technique against Bone Avatar, who answered with the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning and devastated Sky Zenith Ancient Abyss. As white fog swallowed the survivors, Bone Avatar began hunting the remaining Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, leaving their fate uncertain.

In a restaurant, Bi'e lost her temper after hearing cultivators spread increasingly outrageous rumors about her and the Bone Avatar’s master.

• Holy Lord Xunyu demanded Bi'e's whereabouts, then ordered the forces to go to the Sky Zenith Domain and kill whoever had captured her.
• Azure Wave Palace said it had sent seven sealed foundations into the Sky Zenith Domain to retrieve Bi'e, and Xunyu's departure left its star-essence hall shattered.

• Restaurant patrons discussed Bi'e's capture, and a thin cultivator claimed she was pregnant with quadruplets by the Bone Avatar's master.
• Bi'e slammed the table and confronted the rumor-spreaders, but they dismissed her as a madman and resumed their gossip.

Long Ling brought the disguised Azure Wave Fairy, whom she called Bo Bo Ji, into the Chaotic Star Sea to search for ancient treasures. After joining Hei Yao’s expedition for Grand Sky Stones, Bo Bo Ji struck Dong Xifeng on Long Ling’s command, and Dong Xifeng launched another attack as the chapter ended.

• Hei Yao opened a hidden passage with a jade slip and led the group into the Ancient Great Sect’s ruins, an endless desert filled with dangerous restrictions and buried statues.
• Long Ling wondered whether the Human Pet Pouch and Myriad Souls Banner could collect the statues, while Hei Yao explained the dangers of the ruins and other cultivators’ failed attempts to cross the desert.
• Hei Yao revealed Earth Soul Radiance, and the Azure Wave Fairy recognized its value; Hei Yao struck it into the sand, making the yellow sand begin to move.

Hei Yao’s group crossed the desert on a summoned Earth Crocodile-Tail Rhinoceros, relying on Chi Lian’s Three Lights Divine Fire to burn through the deadly Poplar Demon Tree forest. Their passage awakened ancient bronze towers beneath the sand, which released armored figures that attacked the cultivators.

• Hei Yao summoned an Earth Crocodile-Tail Rhinoceros with the Earth Soul Radiance, and the beast showed unusual affection for Long Ling.

• Chi Lian used her golden ring and Three Lights Divine Fire to burn a path through the Poplar Demon Tree forest.
• Abyssal cracks opened across the desert, and ancient bronze towers rose from underground and released armored figures who attacked the cultivators.

Long Ling and her companions fought through the desert’s Netherworld soldiers and learned that a legendary Nether Spring Spirit born from an emperor-grade Yin Vein lay deep within it. As a powerful Nether Sword Cultivator attacked their Earth Crocodile-Tail Rhinoceros, their defenses neared collapse, and Long Ling stepped forward to act.

• Netherworld fiendish soldiers overwhelmed the Cosmos cultivators, and Hei Yao used a purple talisman to open a path for the Earth Crocodile-Tail Rhinoceros and its passengers.
• Gui Yinshi identified eighteen eerie lights in the desert as a Nether Spring Spirit, while Hei Yao explained that it was the true spirit of a legendary emperor-grade Yin Vein.
• Black Feng noticed that the eighteen lights followed the group, and Long Ling suggested the Nether Spring Spirit was sealed by a restriction.
• A Nether Sword Cultivator emerged from the sand and unleashed sword rain, killing or wounding many cultivators as Long Ling’s group fled under Hei Yao’s talisman protection.
• The pursuing Nether Sword Cultivator battered the group’s shield until Qin Cang warned everyone to use their remaining methods, and Long Ling stepped forward to try.

Long Ling summoned the Myriad Souls Banner, and the Nether Sword Cultivator and fiendish weapons recognized her power and opened a path through the desert. After escaping, Hei Feng offered to serve her, while Gui Yinshi challenged his claims about the Black clan.

• Qin Cang summoned enormous vines to fight Huang Ao, then used a golden willow branch to strike him and draw blood.
• Azure Wave Fairy recognized Qin Cang’s hidden strength, while Long Ling decided to watch the confrontation before acting.

Qin Cang battled Huang Ao of the Ancient Desolate Family, using the golden willow branch to overcome Huang Ao’s power-enhancing formations. As Bo Bo Ji’s weak water disabled those formations and trapped Huang Ao, Qin Cang gained the advantage while the others learned that the branch might be connected to the Ancient Royal Clan.

• Huang Ao unleashed a method that borrowed the will of heaven and earth, but Qin Cang’s golden willow branch shattered his attacks and sent him flying.
• Huang Ao suspected Qin Cang belonged to the Ancient Royal Clan, and Azure Wave Fairy explained that its descendants came from the Five Human Emperors and that Qin Cang’s willow might be tied to the Wood Emperor’s ancestral treasure.
• Qin Cang and Huang Ao continued fighting as their battle destroyed the surrounding mountains and left them struggling atop a stone pillar in a vast abyss.

• Huang Ao attacked Azure Wave Fairy, but Long Ling stepped in and revealed that Huang Ao sensed time and an unfathomable aura within her.
• Huang Ao launched a thousand-zhang halberd afterimage at Azure Wave Fairy, and Long Ling’s forehead released Heavenly Dao lightning that destroyed it and removed half of Huang Ao’s body.
• Qin Cang pierced Huang Ao with golden willow branches and drained him until he withered into yellow sand.
• Long Ling explained that her Thunder-Lightning Purple Scale came from tribulation power refined by her original self, and the group continued through the mountains on the Earth Crocodile-Tail Rhinoceros.
• The group encountered a Heaven-Horned Execution Toad confronting a giant centipede, then followed signs of recent battles deeper into the mountain range.
• After a voice called for help from a Stele Forest, Long Ling stopped Qin Cang and warned the group away from a withered old figure bound between four ancient steles.

Hei Yao's group encountered a sealed figure and a strange mountain range that Long Ling identified as an illusion created by refracted light and a bewildering formation. Qin Cang's golden willow branch broke through the sky, exposing the formation's boundary and drawing cries of pain from someone on the other side.

• Hei Yao and the others spotted a deathly, chained old man in the Stele Forest and decided to avoid him; a demonic mosquito then transformed into a woman who looked exactly like Hei Yao.
• Long Ling had Chi Lian and the Azure Wave Fairy attack the sky, causing the mountains around the group to vanish into blackness before returning.
• Long Ling concluded that the mountain range was an illusion caused by refraction and that its exit lay in the sky.
• Hei Yao asked Qin Cang to use his golden willow branch to probe the sky, and Qin Cang made it grow toward the clouds.
• The golden willow branch broke through a restriction above the clouds, and unseen people cried out as it pierced them.

Long Ling and the others escaped the maze formation through a passage Qin Cang made with the golden willow branch, but the Mosquito Fiend Lord began breaking free as they approached the exit. Long Ling drove the mosquito swarm back, then sent a Bronze Ancient Sword toward the Stele Forest before the heavenly cavern sealed behind her.

• Qin Cang used the golden willow branch to shatter the sky’s illusion and create a path to the heavenly cavern.
• Hei Yao urged the group to prepare for a fight over the Grand Sky Stone, and Long Ling led them along the golden tree path.

• Long Ling used her power to repel the mosquitoes and suppress the Mosquito Fiend Lord as the group reached the heavenly cavern.
• After the others escaped, Long Ling threw a Bronze Ancient Sword toward the Stele Forest and passed through the exit before it sealed.

Long Ling turned Hei Feng loose on Guo Yuan and the Kui Demon Mausoleum cultivators after they demanded exorbitant compensation for an accidental injury. Hei Feng’s outrageous assault forced Guo Yuan to surrender, while Long Ling’s group watched from a safe distance.

• Long Ling reflected on Earth’s vulnerability and explained that she had given the Bronze Ancient Sword to help the sealed demonic mosquitoes escape and protect Earth.
• Long Ling learned that the palace ahead was the Vast Sky Palace, which held the Grand Sky Stone, then heard Guo Yuan demand eighty million units of Celestial Essence and the right to poke each of them in return for his injury.
• After Hei Feng explained that Guo Yuan threatened to shame them across the Cosmos Cultivation World, Long Ling whispered him a plan and offered him the Myriad Souls Banner as a reward.
• Hei Feng sprang onto Guo Yuan’s shoulders and kissed and bit his face, frightening the Kui Demon Mausoleum cultivators and driving some of them away to seek reinforcements.
• Guo Yuan begged Hei Feng to get down and promised compensation, while Hei Feng demanded witnesses and Hei Yao’s group withdrew behind Long Ling.
