Chapter Summaries

The Dreadbound Lord exposed Li Yun as the reincarnated Ancient Eternity and claimed he possessed three of the Four Great Wonder Books, provoking the Sage Constants to demand he reveal himself. Li Yun ignored them and continued cultivating in hiding, growing stronger through Myriad Wonders Aura as the Sages’ patience ran out.

• The Dreadbound Lord announced that Ancient Eternity had reincarnated as a Sage Constant and stolen the Illusory World Book, then gathered Sage Constants to hear his account with the Phantom Body of the World-Shocking Sword Master.
• The Sage Constants accused Ancient Eternity of hoarding the Four Great Wonder Books and threatened Li Yun until he shut off his senses and resumed refining the Eternal Divine Medicine.
• The phantom of the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders drew Myriad Wonders Aura from the Gate of Myriad Wonders, concealing Li Yun and strengthening his Sage Constant power.
• Li Yun refined a second Sage Constant Divine Medicine over three hundred years, doubling his power and finding that Myriad Wonders Aura could strengthen him without further medicine.
• Li Yun continued cultivating in hiding while the Sage Constants, unable to find him, grew impatient.

Ancestral City’s Sage Constant rulers argued over their failure to find Li Yun, whom they believed was Ancient Eternity, and confronted Cang Jiulong about his Progenitor Mark. Cang Jiulong revealed the mark and warned them it was only a safeguard from Sage Canggu, not a path to the Ancestral Realm.

• Ancestral City’s nine city lords and other Sages had spent a century searching for Li Yun, but his whereabouts remained unknown.
• The city lords pressed Cang Jiulong to reveal whether his Progenitor Mark could help locate Ancient Eternity.

• Cang Jiulong displayed the broken crescent-shaped Progenitor Mark, frightening the city lords with its overwhelming aura.
• Cang Jiulong said Sage Canggu had left the mark as a lifesaving safeguard and warned the others not to seek power from it.

Cang Jiulong persuaded the city lords that Ancient Eternity was hiding while he rebuilt his strength, concealing his own ambition to claim the Wonder Books and rule Ancestral City. Three thousand years later, Li Yun emerged from seclusion and turned his attention to the two Sage Constant True Spirits trapped within the Supreme Immortal Gate.

• The city lords denied wanting Cang Jiulong's Progenitor Mark and shifted their discussion back to finding Ancient Eternity.
• Cang Jiulong argued that Ancient Eternity was avoiding their traps while rebuilding his strength, and urged the city lords not to grow impatient.

• Three thousand years later, Li Yun opened his eyes after his Sage Constant power had grown substantially through the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders.
• Li Yun examined the changing Supreme Immortal Gate and decided it was time to deal with the Sage Constant True Spirits of Ancient Eternity and the World-Shocking Sword Master.

Li Yun discovered that the Supreme Immortal Gate was returning to its origin, causing everything in the Myriad Gods Realm—including Ancient Eternity and the World-Shocking Sword Master—to dissolve. Troubled by doubts about whether his life and former world were real, he set those questions aside and accelerated the two Sage Constant True Spirits’ destruction.

• Li Yun took control of the Supreme Immortal Gate and found the Myriad Gods Realm empty except for Ancient Eternity and the World-Shocking Sword Master, who were trapped and absorbing Innate Essence.
• Li Yun realized that the Supreme Immortal Gate’s return to its origin was also causing its inhabitants and the two Sage Constant True Spirits to vanish.
• Li Yun questioned whether the world and his journey from his previous life were real, and wondered why he could not sense the azure planet where he had once lived.
• Li Yun decided to postpone his questions until he became an Ancestor and focused on destroying Ancient Eternity and the World-Shocking Sword Master.
• Li Yun accelerated the Supreme Immortal Gate’s transformation, appeared before the panicking spirits, and told them their fate was payback for trying to seize his body.

After reaching the middle Sage Constant Stage, Li Yun left seclusion to search countless Boundary Seas for Blue Star, hoping to learn whether his previous life had been real. Unable to find it, he considered entering the Gate of Myriad Wonders, then met an Ordinary Constant Sage and asked whether he knew of Blue Star.

• Li Yun absorbed the Supreme Immortal Gate’s essence, reached the middle Sage Constant Stage, and left seclusion to investigate his past.
• He searched a Boundary Sea near the Primordial Land and found no planet resembling the one from his memories.
• Li Yun traveled through hundreds upon thousands of Boundary Seas, but still could not find the planet.
• He wondered whether the planet lay beyond the Gate of Myriad Wonders and considered using his connection to enter it.
• An Ordinary Constant Sage approached Li Yun and offered to help him search.
• Li Yun asked the Sage whether he had heard of a life-bearing planet called Blue Star.

Li Yun searched the vast Void for Blue Star, his home from a previous life, and asked Sage Nan Hu and his friends to help. After thousands of years, Nan Hu reported that Sage Chuan Lin had found a planet that might be Blue Star but wanted a reward before giving its coordinates, so Li Yun went to meet Nan Hu in Origin Dragon Boundary Sea.

• Li Yun asked Sage Nan Hu about Blue Star, and Nan Hu said his friends who roamed the Void might know where to find it.
• Li Yun described Blue Star as an ordinary mortal planet, and Nan Hu sent Message Talismans asking his friends to search for it.
• Li Yun continued searching for thousands of years, but every similar life-bearing planet he found was not his former home.
• Sage Nan Hu told Li Yun that Sage Chuan Lin had found a planet that might be Blue Star and wanted a reward before sharing its coordinates.
• Li Yun wondered whether the claim was a trap, then asked Nan Hu for his coordinates and headed to Origin Dragon Boundary Sea.

Li Yun traveled with Sage Nan Hu and Oversea Sage to the Azure Nightmare Divine Hall to meet Sage Chuanlin and obtain coordinates to Blue Star. After Heaven-Inquiring Sage challenged his name and warned him to follow the hall’s rules, Li Yun openly dismissed the threat, provoking the assembled Sages.

• Li Yun arrived while Sage Nan Hu and Oversea Sage were drinking, then asked Nan Hu to take him to Sage Chuanlin and paid him an Origin Constant Divine Medicine.

• Heaven-Inquiring Sage grew angry after Li Yun declared that others should be grateful he did not seek trouble with them.

Li Yun exposed the Azure Nightmare Sacred Hall's ambush and crushed its Sages, including the Heavenly Constant Sage Mo Tian. Sage Chong Yun tried to end the conflict by blaming Sage Wen Tian and asking Li Yun to leave peacefully.

• Sage Wen Tian ordered the Origin Constant Sages to surround Li Yun after he demanded Sage Chuanlin and the return of his Divine Medicine.
• Sage Nan Hu claimed the Divine Medicine as his own, and Li Yun burned him to ash and reclaimed it.

• Sage Chong Yun killed Sage Wen Tian for provoking Li Yun, then called the incident a misunderstanding and asked Li Yun to leave.

Li Yun easily defeated Sage Chongyun and two other Heavenly Constant Sages after they attacked him, then learned that Sage Chongyun served Sage Changqing, the Azure Nightmare Sacred Hall’s true master. Sage Changqing had reached Sage Constant Peak and was said to rival Ancestral City’s nine city lords.

• Li Yun rejected Sage Chongyun’s assumption that he came from Ancestral City and confronted him over the attempt to lure and kill him.
• Sage Chongyun ordered the three Heavenly Constant Sages to attack Li Yun, but Li Yun destroyed their Sage Arts with a casual wave and hurled them into the Barrier.

• Li Yun asked who Sage Changqing was, and Sage Chongyun revealed that Changqing was the Azure Nightmare Sacred Hall’s true master and a Sage Constant Peak powerhouse.
• Sage Chongyun claimed Sage Changqing was no weaker than Ancestral City’s nine city lords, shocking Li Yun and the two other Heavenly Constant Sages.

Li Yun learned that Sage Changqing had entered the dangerous Primordial Land long ago and questioned what the Azure Nightmare Sacred Hall was hiding. When Sage Anche arrived and dismissed Li Yun’s grievance, Li Yun demanded a personal apology from Sage Changqing and twenty stalks of Sage Constant Divine Medicine or he would destroy the hall.

• Li Yun learned from Sage Chongyun that Sage Changqing and several powerful subordinates had entered the Primordial Land before it revived and had not been heard from since.
• Li Yun considered whether to kill Sage Chongyun and the others or accept compensation and leave, while Sage Chongyun feared for his life.

• Sage Anche dismissed the attack on Li Yun as a minor matter and insisted the dispute should end with an apology.
• Li Yun rejected Sage Anche’s terms and demanded that Sage Changqing apologize and provide twenty stalks of Sage Constant Divine Medicine, threatening to tear down the Azure Nightmare Sacred Hall.

Li Yun destroyed Sage Anche’s projected incarnation, killed the three Heavenly Constant Sages, and demolished the Azure Nightmare Sacred Hall before leaving with its Eternal Divine Medicines. Sage Anche learned of the destruction and set out in pursuit, while other Sage Constant experts worried about Li Yun’s power and sent Yuantai and another Sage after him.

• Sage Anche berated Li Yun for demanding an apology and compensation, but Li Yun denied being Ancient Eternity’s reincarnation and struck Anche’s projected incarnation apart.
• Li Yun killed Sage Chongyun and the other two Heavenly Constant Sages, then raided the Azure Nightmare Sacred Hall, took its Eternal Divine Medicines, and destroyed the hall and the Sages inside.
• Sage Anche raged in the ancient city, learned that Li Yun claimed to have destroyed Ancient Eternity’s and the World-Shocking Sword Master’s Sage Constant True Spirits, and stormed off to pursue him.
• The Sage Constant experts feared Li Yun was more powerful than they had assumed and sent Yuantai and another expert to follow Anche and protect him.

Li Yun refined Sage Anche and twenty-seven Sage Constant Divine Medicines with his Immortal Gate Assimilation Sage Art while Anche warned him about Changqing Sacred City.

• Li Yun created the Immortal Gate Assimilation Sage Art and began refining Anche and twenty-seven Sage Constant Divine Medicines.
• Sage Anche threatened Li Yun with Changqing Sacred City and revealed that Sage Changqing was a half-step Ancestor dwelling in the Forbidden Zone.
• Li Yun asked about the Forbidden Zone, and Sage Anche described the Gate of Myriad Wonders' crushing power and the deadly dangers within its vicinity.

Sage Anche told Li Yun that the Forbidden Zone housed Half-Step Ancestors and was the source of the three known Wonder Books, while the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders had supposedly escaped the zone at birth. Li Yun wondered whether the scripture he had created by fusing the other three was real, and who had obtained the one from the Forbidden Zone.

• Li Yun disbelieved Sage Anche's account of the Forbidden Zone and intensified his refinement, consuming all twenty-seven Sage Constant Divine Medicines beneath the Immortal Gate.
• Sage Anche begged for his life and claimed that Ancient Eternity's Eternal Scripture, the World-Shocking Sword Master's World-Shocking Book, and the Illusory World Heavenly Lord's Illusory World Book came from the Forbidden Zone.
• Sage Anche explained that Half-Step Ancestors sought the Gate of Myriad Wonders' secrets rather than the Wonder Books, which contained no insight beyond the Four Eternal Constants.
• Li Yun asked about the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders, and Sage Anche recounted a rumor that it had escaped the Forbidden Zone during an Evil Wind crisis and vanished.
• Li Yun wondered which Heavenly Scripture was genuine and concluded that some who reached the Ancestral Realm during the Evil Wind upheaval might already have cultivated to Half-Step Ancestor in the Forbidden Zone.

Li Yun refined Sage Anche to death, bringing his cultivation to the limit of Mid Sage Constant and provoking Changqing Sacred City. He evaded the search in the Primordial Land by disguising himself, then looted the Ancient Cang Divine Court before Cang Jiulong returned to find its treasury empty.

• Li Yun refined Sage Anche over three months, reaching the limit of Mid Sage Constant and realizing he needed an Eternal Divine Medicine or a Late Sage Constant expert to advance further.
• Hengjing, Yuantai, and the other experts of Changqing Sacred City learned of Anche's death and unleashed their fury across the Boundary Seas.
• Li Yun avoided a direct clash with Changqing Sacred City and returned quietly to the Primordial Land, where Ancestral City was searching for him.
• Li Yun disguised himself as an Ancestral City Mid Sage Constant and joined the search for his own whereabouts, then infiltrated the Ancient Cang Divine Court as Cang Bahuang.
• Li Yun used illusions to loot the Ancient Cang Divine Court's treasury, but Cang Jiulong and the other city lords arrived to find it completely emptied.

After Li Yun plundered the Ancient Cang Divine Court’s treasury using a powerful illusion, Cang Jiulong tried to rally the city lords to trap him again. The Dreadbound Lord refused to stay, and Cang Jiulong attacked him, prompting him to declare that he was leaving Ancestral City.

• The Dreadbound Lord declared that he withdrew from Ancestral City and would leave regardless of Cang Jiulong’s wishes.

Cang Jiulong pursued the Dreadbound Lord, who fled into the Forbidden Zone after accusing Cang Jiulong of plotting to enslave Ancestral City’s lords. Cang Jiulong then revealed that seven figures who believed they had become Ancestors had died inside the Gate of Myriad Wonders, and that his ancestor’s Progenitor Mark declared that no one could become an Ancestor without All Wonders.

• Cang Jiulong explained that seven supposed Ancestors had actually perished inside the Gate of Myriad Wonders.
• Cang Jiulong revealed that Sage Canggu’s Progenitor Mark declared, “Without All Wonders, no one becomes an Ancestor!”

Cang Jiulong revealed that the seven supposed Ancestors had died in the Gate of Myriad Wonders and that the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders was necessary to reach the Ancestral Realm. The city lords challenged his motives and his claims about the Progenitor Mark, then asked what he meant by calling Ancestral City the key.

Cang Jiulong explained that the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders might be impossible to find and argued that the Ancestral City could instead let them reach the Gate of Myriad Wonders and pursue the Ancestral Realm. He left Wan Shenfeng and the others considering his plan to unite the world's profound truths in the city and use its power to become half-step Ancestors or true Ancestors.

• Cang Jiulong warned Wan Shenfeng and the others that the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders might be hidden or already have chosen a master, making it unlikely they could obtain it.

• Cang Jiulong proposed gathering the world's Sages and profound truths in the Ancestral City to make it resonate with the Gate of Myriad Wonders and help them become Ancestors.

Cang Jiulong persuaded Ancestral City's lords to cooperate with him, then moved to restore the city's prestige by declaring the Dreadbound Lord a traitor and taking control of the Panic Domain. Li Yun realized Ancestral City might be trying to unite the Primordial Land and fled before the region descended into chaos.

• Wan Shenfeng and the other Peak Sage Constant experts agreed to stay in Ancestral City and work with Cang Jiulong toward reaching the Ancestral Realm.
• Cang Jiulong proposed declaring the Dreadbound Lord a traitor and seizing the Panic Divine Hall to rebuild Ancestral City's prestige.
