Chapter Summaries

Wan Shenfeng exposed Sage Kunmao as Li Yun and ordered Rain Dragon Sage to kill him, but Kunmao turned out to be innocent. Wan Shenfeng revealed he had used the accusation as a test and kept the real Illusory World Book as bait for Li Yun, then began plotting to use Rain Dragon Sage’s identity.

• Wan Shenfeng sent Rain Dragon Sage to investigate who had discovered the fake book, then privately planned for Li Yun to appear as Rain Dragon Sage.

Wan Shenfeng and Cang Jiulong kept the Illusory World Book and the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders separate as bait for Li Yun. When a loud intruder claimed to be Li Yun at the Illusory World Tower, Wan Shenfeng realized it was a diversion aimed at the Heavenly Scripture.

• Wan Shenfeng realized the apparent attack was a feint and that Li Yun's real target was the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders.

• Rain Dragon Sage rushed into the Inner Courtyard and found Wan Shenfeng on the floor beside a pool of blood.

Li Yun’s disguise was exposed after the real Kunmao appeared, revealing that Li Yun had stolen the Illusory World Book.

Cang Jiulong faced pressure from nearly three hundred Sage Constant experts to surrender the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders after Li Yun stole the Illusory World Book. He proposed using the Scripture as bait to draw Li Yun into a public confrontation in Ancestral City.

• Wa Miao and other Peak Sage Constants demanded that Cang Jiulong hand over the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders because Ancestral City had failed to protect the Illusory World Book.
• Cang Jiulong refused to surrender the Scripture and challenged the assembled Peak Sage Constants to confront him.
• Wa Miao threatened to summon a Half-Step Ancestor, but Cang Jiulong dismissed the threat and explained that the ancestors cared only about the Gate of Myriad Wonders.
• Cang Jiulong argued that Li Yun, who had obtained three of the Four Great Wonder Books, would come for the last one.
• Cang Jiulong proposed displaying the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders publicly in Ancestral City's grand hall and facing Li Yun there with the assembled Peak Sage Constants.

The Sages began turning Ancestral City into a fortress to lure Li Yun into a final battle, while Li Yun absorbed the Illusory World Book and grew far stronger in the Boundary Sea. As he returned toward the Primordial Land, Jin Tiantong tracked him down and demanded the Wonder Books, but Li Yun asked how his strength compared to the other Half-Step Ancestors.

• The Sages accepted Cang Jiulong's plan to use the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders as bait and began building Ancestral City into a fortress.
• Li Yun absorbed the Illusory World Book, completed the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders, and increased his power to thirty times that of a Peak Sage Constant.

Li Yun killed Jin Tiantong in a surprise attack, becoming the first Half-Step Ancestor to fall since the White Mist over the Primordial Land dispersed. As Li Yun hurried back to the Primordial Land to grow stronger, the Purple Firmament Ancestor learned of Jin Tiantong’s death and sent warnings to Black Heaven and Yin Xuan.

Li Yun secretly hid in the southeast of the Primordial Land to strengthen his Sage Constant Power, while Cang Jiulong publicly challenged him again from Ancestral City.

• Black Heaven dismissed Purple Firmament Ancestor’s suspicion, but Yin Xuan reasoned that Zixiao must know something about Li Yun and might be using them as bait.
• Yin Xuan proposed following Zixiao’s orders while looking for a chance to use Li Yun against him, if Li Yun had killed Jin Tiantong.
• Black Heaven and Yin Xuan agreed to split up: Yin Xuan would track Li Yun, while Black Heaven searched the void beyond the Primordial Land for traces of Jin Tiantong.
• Li Yun returned to the Primordial Land and hid in its southeast, silently drawing on the Gate of Myriad Wonders to strengthen his Sage Constant Power.
• Cang Jiulong issued Li Yun another public challenge from Ancestral City.

• Ancestral City publicly challenged Li Yun, while Yin Xuan went there in disguise to wait for him.
• Li Yun recognized the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders in Ancestral City as a fake and continued cultivating with the real scripture.
• After eight months, Li Yun's cultivation reached fifty-four times that of a Peak Sage Constant, but he still sensed no limit to his growth.
• Cang Jiulong worried that Ancestral City's impatient factions would turn against him and calculated that he was far from the twentyfold cultivation needed to become a Half-Step Ancestor.
• Another year passed without Li Yun appearing, and a tremor from the Forbidden Zone spread bloody radiance across the Primordial Land's sky.

A blood-red invasion erupted across the Primordial Land, prompting the Half-Step Ancestors and other powerful residents to fight back. Li Yun easily destroyed two attackers, then captured two more and teleported out of the Primordial Land with them.

• A quake shook the Primordial Land as blood-red clouds gathered and rained down blood-red figures, who began slaughtering its inhabitants.

• Li Yun seized two blood-red figures and teleported out of the Primordial Land with them.

Li Yun learned from two Blood Souls that the Primordial Land was an unexplored Desolate Ancient Secret Realm targeted by the Blood God Cult. He began killing the invading Blood Souls, drawing the attention of the cult’s experts and the Forbidden Zone’s Half-Step Ancestors.

• Li Yun captured two Blood Souls outside the Primordial Land and tried to question them.
• When Li Yun searched their souls, the two Blood Souls exploded, but he recovered fragments of their memories.
• Li Yun learned that the Blood God Cult, led by the Blood Elder Demon, had entered the Primordial Land to plunder the Desolate Ancient Secret Realm before the Azure Dragon War Academy could claim it.

• Li Yun took two Blood Souls to a canyon fissure and tried to search their memories, but they self-destructed before he could finish.

• Li Yun realized that the outside world's rules could reduce even an Eternal Sage to less than an ordinary person, but he refused to give up striving.
• Li Yun learned that the Azure Dragon War Academy would likely force the Blood God Cult to retreat, so he hid and absorbed Myriad Wonders Aura to strengthen himself.

Li Yun continued cultivating in the Gorge Rift until a black-robed Half-Step Ancestor confronted him over the Heavenly Scripture of Myriad Wonders. After Li Yun killed him, he entered the Forbidden Zone to advance his cultivation before other enemies could attack.

• Li Yun realized other Half-Step Ancestors might target him and decided to use the Blood God Cult's invasion as time to grow stronger.
• Li Yun left the Gorge Rift and charged into the Forbidden Zone.

Li Yun reached the Gate of Myriad Wonders and broke through his cultivation limit as the gate absorbed him and began repairing its chip. The change triggered a backlash that forced the Blood God Cultists to flee their hideout, while Azure Dragon War Academy fighters arrived in pursuit.

• Li Yun entered the Forbidden Zone and discovered that the chip in the Gate of Myriad Wonders connected it to the Supreme Immortal Gate and the system within him.

• A burly Blood God Cultist ordered the group to abandon their Blood Souls and flee as many cultists collapsed and died.
• Azure Dragon War Academy fighters reached the Limestone Cave and split up to guard the site and pursue the escaping cultists.

After Li Yun merged with the Gate of Myriad Wonders, the Purple Firmament Ancestor tried to force his way through its curtain, but even his strongest attack failed. The Gate then released a wave that destroyed every Blood God Cult Blood Soul in the Primordial Land, leaving the Purple Firmament Ancestor wondering whether Li Yun was still alive.

• The Purple Firmament Ancestor arrived too late to stop Li Yun from merging with the Gate of Myriad Wonders and decided to test whether he could enter by force.
• Divine Emperor Heaven and the Gray-Robed Man arrived and watched as the Purple Firmament Ancestor unleashed Purple Firmament Thunderbreak against the Gate's curtain.
• The curtain absorbed and dissolved the attack, and the Purple Firmament Ancestor told the others that only an Evil Wind had once created a chance for Sage Canggu and the others to enter.
• The Gate of Myriad Wonders shuddered and sent out a wave that reduced every Blood God Cult Blood Soul in the Primordial Land to ash.
• Divine Emperor Heaven and the Gray-Robed Man rushed toward the outside of the Forbidden Zone while the Purple Firmament Ancestor wondered whether Li Yun had caused the wave and survived.

Three months after the Blood God Cult’s defeat, powerful souls emerged from the Gate of Myriad Wonders and claimed the Primordial Land for the Azure Dragon War Academy. The leading soul offered the Forbidden Zone’s Half-Step Ancestors a chance to leave if they reached the Ancestral Realm, while the Purple Firmament Ancestor wondered whether Li Yun had escaped the Secret Realm.

• The Purple Firmament Ancestor wondered whether Li Yun had escaped through the Gate of Myriad Wonders, but chose not to ask the leading soul about him.

A hundred years after the Azure Dragon War Academy arrived, Xie Wufeng learned that Purple Firmament Ancestor and Divine Emperor Heaven had concealed information about Li Yun and demanded that Li Yun come to Azure Dragon Holy City within three years.
