Chapter Summaries

Li Yun used Hundredfold Speed to advance his Cold Mountain Art to 82% of the First Layer before his Myriad Wonders Points ran out. After Xu An helped him obtain an Identity Token in Carter City, Li Yun decided they would return to the Icefield to hunt Ice Wolves for Frost Crystals.

• Li Yun cultivated in Hundredfold Speed mode for more than eighteen hours, spending nearly all his Myriad Wonders Points and reaching 82% of the Cold Mountain Art's First Layer.

• At the Identity Token counter, Li Yun paid thirty Middle-Grade Frost Crystals for a token registered under the name Lin Zishan.
• Xu An complained that the City Guard Office had overcharged them, and Li Yun proposed earning more Frost Crystals by hunting on the Icefield.
• Although Xu An warned that the Icefield would be more dangerous near dark, Li Yun eagerly set out with him to hunt Ice Wolves.

Li Yun and Xu An hunted Demon Beasts across the Icefield at night, then fled from a Middle Sage Ice Tiger and hid in a Valley. When the wounded Ice Bear from another hunting party appeared near dawn, Li Yun killed it and claimed its valuable corpse.

• Li Yun and Xu An entered the Icefield at night, where Li Yun slaughtered an Ice Wolf pack and its Lower Sage leader.

• Li Yun found the grievously wounded Ice Bear alone and killed it with his Heaven-Slaying Treasure Blade.

Li Yun and Xu An sold their haul from the Icefield for eight hundred Middle-Grade Frost Crystals, then faced accusations from the Cold Edge Hunting Group, who claimed the Ice Bear had been their prey. Li Yun refused to pay, and the two sides parted after the innkeeper warned that a fight would bring the City Guard.

• Li Yun and Xu An returned to Carter City with the Ice Bear and other Demon Beast carcasses and sold them at the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion for eight hundred Middle-Grade Frost Crystals.

The chapter ended with Xu An and Li Yun back at home and the hunting group preparing to track Li Yun’s movements.

• Li Yun reassured the worried Xu An on their way home, while secretly deciding to eliminate the Cold Edge Hunting Group once he was strong enough.

• Li Yun gave Xu An a cultivation method tailored to his Martial Dao and said it could lead him to become a Sage.

• Black Tiger, the Blood Saber Elder, and Lu Kui reacted with grief, fury, and fear as they recognized that Li Yun had turned the hunt against them.
• Li Yun emerged from the snow, confronted the seven remaining Sages, and dropped the eleven frozen corpses before them.

Li Yun returned to Carter City after eliminating the Cold Edge, Black Tiger, and Blood Saber hunting groups, then continued cultivating while rumors spread that he had killed them. When the Sky Peak Hunting Group tried to summon him by force, he rejected their demand and challenged their leader to come himself.

• Li Yun returned to Carter City, reassured Xu An, and advised him on his cultivation.
• Li Yun chose to focus on advancing his Cold Mountain Art rather than restoring the Blood Saber Sage Art, and found three more fragments of High-Grade Sage Arts at Baichuan Bookshop.

Li Yun entered Baichuan Bookshop after rejecting the Sky Peak Hunting Group’s intimidation, where Zhao Baichuan explained that the Four Great Hunting Groups planned to form a guild and were using rumors about Li Yun to make an example of him. Zhao offered to recommend Li Yun for a guard position at the City Lord’s Mansion, leaving Li Yun to consider protection from the groups.

• Li Yun ignored the Sky Peak Hunting Group’s threats and went into Baichuan Bookshop, while its leader vowed the group would make him pay.
• Zhao Baichuan told Li Yun that the Four Great Hunting Groups wanted to form a guild and take authority from the City Lord’s Mansion.

• Li Yun denied involvement and swore he had nothing to do with the disappearances.
• Zhao offered to recommend Li Yun for a guard position at the City Lord’s Mansion so its backing could deter the hunting groups.

Li Yun refused Zhao Baichuan’s offer to join the City Lord’s Mansion, suspecting it was meant to use him against the Four Great Hunting Groups. He began cultivating in seclusion, while Zhao Baichuan ordered a subordinate to watch him for signs of hidden secrets.

• Li Yun activated Hundredfold Cultivation Mode and devoted his points to improving the Cold Mountain Art.
• A middle-aged man in Black Combat Attire met Zhao Baichuan, who ordered him to personally keep watch on Li Yun and report anything unusual.

Li Yun ended his seclusion, found that his Cold Mountain Art had only reached 79% of the Third Layer, and decided to leave Carter City for the Icefield to escape the growing danger. After he departed, Zhao Baichuan’s men and the Four Great Hunting Groups moved to pursue him, setting the city on edge.

• Li Yun’s Hundredfold Cultivation Mode consumed his remaining Myriad Wonders Points, strengthening his Cold Mountain Saint Essence and his control over ice, but his Cold Mountain Art remained at 79% of the Third Layer.
• Li Yun told Xu An to stay home, avoid city disputes, and wait for his return, then left him two thousand mid-grade Frost Crystals.
• Li Yun bought daily necessities, stored them in the Myriad Wonders World, and left Carter City for the Icefield.
• Informants alerted Zhao Baichuan’s middle-aged Middle Sage and the Four Great Hunting Groups that Li Yun had left the city, prompting Zhao Baichuan’s man to lead a group out after him.
• The four hunting-group leaders agreed to send teams led by peak Lower Sages to capture Li Yun, and dozens of elite Sages departed as Carter City watched and placed bets.

Li Yun fled Carter City and hid in an ice cavern deep in the Icefield, where he prepared to cultivate while tracking his pursuers. The Four Great Hunting Groups launched a brazen search to use him to assert their authority, prompting Zhao Baichuan’s envoy to consider reporting them to the city lord.

Li Yun broke through to Lower Sage Peak while hiding in an Ice Bear's den, then taunted his pursuers and fled deeper into the Icefield. At the Rift Valley, he discovered a force of unfamiliar Sages led by a Middle Sage and wondered who they were and why they had gathered there.

• After hiding in the Ice Bear's den for seven days, Li Yun activated Hundredfold Cultivation Mode and advanced to Lower Sage Peak.

• After traveling fifteen hundred li, Li Yun reached the Rift Valley and spotted twenty or thirty Lower Sages led by a Middle Sage.

Li Yun discovered a secret Through-Ancient Dynasty outpost in Shattered Rift Gorge, where a Transmission Herald was siphoning the fortunes of three Low Plane Worlds. After Li Yun withdrew, the Four Great Hunting Groups arrived while pursuing Lin Zishan and confronted the Herald, bringing a clash to the brink.

• Li Yun overheard the Transmission Herald and a subordinate discuss the nearly stabilized gate and their plan to channel the fortunes of Pale Moon, Everwealth, and Hundred Directions into the Dynasty’s Destiny River.
• Li Yun realized the outpost offered a chance to gain control of three worlds, but chose to retreat and grow stronger before attempting anything.
• Li Yun memorized the gorge’s layout and guard positions, then slipped away without being detected.
• Two days later, dozens of elite Sages from the Four Great Hunting Groups followed Li Yun’s deliberately scattered traces toward Shattered Rift Gorge while searching for Lin Zishan.
• The Transmission Herald blocked the hunters at the gorge entrance and ordered them to leave, but their leader accused him of protecting Lin Zishan and prepared to force a way through.

The Transmission Herald nearly wiped out the Four Great Hunting Groups after they attacked him near Shattered Rift Gorge, but Carter City guard captain Wang Yuantong intervened and secured their release. The hunting groups mistook his rescue for a City Lord's Mansion scheme and resumed searching elsewhere for Li Yun.

• The Four Great Hunting Groups attacked the Transmission Herald, who killed seven warriors with a Peerless Art and prepared to strike again.

• The hunting group leaders decided Wang Yuantong had staged the rescue to intimidate them, and they changed course to continue searching for Li Yun.

After half a month in hiding, Li Yun used his accumulated Myriad Wonders Points to cultivate the Cold Mountain Art to 65% of its Fourth Layer, then headed back toward Rift Valley.
