Chapter Summaries

Li Yun learned that the Qing'an Escort Agency was using ambushes to locate the Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele, then killed the black-robed Sages and fled toward White Marsh City. As multiple Upper Sages pursued him, he entered a town disguised as a traveling Sage and was approached by two women seeking to share his table.

• Li Yun stopped freezing the black-robed Sages and forced their leader to reveal the Qing'an Escort Agency's plan to track down the Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele.
• Li Yun killed the entire group, concealed the signs of the battle, and hurried through the mountains toward White Marsh City.

• Li Yun entered a busy town in disguise, ordered food and wine at a restaurant, and sat alone by a window.
• Two young women approached Li Yun and asked whether they could share his table.

Li Yun met Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao in a tavern and learned they were members of the White Marsh City Su Lineage that had entrusted the Innate Remnant Stele to the Hu Hai Escort Agency. After verifying their jade pendant, he agreed to hand over the stele at a secluded Pavilion outside the city.

• Su Qingyuan showed Li Yun an azure Jade Pendant that resonated with the Innate Remnant Stele, confirming the sisters had the token needed to claim it.
• Li Yun agreed to hand over the stele but suggested they meet outside the city to avoid drawing attention, and the sisters proposed a six-sided Pavilion ten li away.

• Li Yun wrapped the Su sisters in his Ice Saint Power and raced into the Eternal Desolate Death Zone.

Li Yun discovered that Su Qingyuan’s Jade Pendant contained the incomplete Purple Heaven Saint Art and learned that four ancient clans on Silver Fox Star had once produced Heavenly Saints. Outside the Eternal Desolate Death Zone, Su Cangyuan and the Qing'an Escort Agency waited for Li Yun and the Su sisters to emerge, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Li Yun used the Gate of Myriad Wonders to extract the incomplete Purple Heaven Saint Art from Su Qingyuan’s Jade Pendant.

• Su Qingyuan said the clans’ records no longer revealed what had become of the Four Great Heavenly Saints.
• Su Cangyuan’s forces sealed the exits to the Eternal Desolate Death Zone and waited for Li Yun and the Su sisters to be weakened by its Erosion Force.
• Tu Kui and Li Feng agreed to wait outside the death zone and see who would claim the Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele.

Li Yun kept Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao safe in the Eternal Desolate Death Zone while powerhouses gathered outside over the Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele. As the standoff turned toward a possible invasion, Li Yun began cultivating inside the cavern.

• Li Yun reassured Su Qingyuan that he could outlast the people waiting outside and served food and wine to the Su sisters.
• News of the Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele drew countless experts, including more than a hundred Upper Sages, to the death zone.

• Li Yun activated hundredfold-speed cultivation and asked Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao to guard him.

Li Yun broke through to the middle stage of Upper Sage cultivation inside the Eternal Desolate Death Zone and led Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao deeper into it. There, the Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele and Su Qingyuan’s Jade Pendant triggered a world-shaking omen that revealed four ancient Heavenly Saints and a colossal Nine-Tailed Silver Fox.

• Li Yun used a billion Myriad Wonders Points to advance the Cold Mountain Art to its tenth level and break through to the middle stage of Upper Sage.
• Li Yun decided to explore deeper into the Death Zone, and Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao joined him despite Su Qingyuan’s warning about the danger.
• The Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele and Su Qingyuan’s Jade Pendant flew out of their control and illuminated the ancient runes on a ruined plaza.
• The Death Zone convulsed as four towering Heavenly Saint figures and a gigantic Nine-Tailed Silver Fox rose into view, their pressure shaking all of Silver Fox Star.
• The hundred Upper Sages outside the Death Zone collapsed in terror and wondered whether the figures were the Ancient Four Great Heavenly Saints and what the Silver Fox was.

Ye Xingjue revealed that the Eternal Desolate Death Zone held the Primordial Silver Fox, sealed by the Four Great Heavenly Saints in an ancient war, and ordered the Upper Sages to enter and kill it before it broke free. As the sages accepted the command, Li Yun, Su Qingyuan, and Su Lingyao watched from deep within the Death Zone.

• The vision over the Eternal Desolate Death Zone revealed the Four Great Heavenly Saints and the Primordial Silver Fox, while a hundred Upper Sages remained pinned by their power.
• Ye Xingjue arrived, and two other hidden Great Sages joined him above Silver Fox Star.
• Ye Xingjue explained that the Four Great Heavenly Saints had sacrificed themselves to seal the Primordial Silver Fox, which had now awakened as the formation weakened.
• Ye Xingjue ordered all Upper Sages to enter the Death Zone and kill the Primordial Silver Fox before it fully awakened.
• The Upper Sages accepted Ye Xingjue's command, while Li Yun, Su Qingyuan, and Su Lingyao watched from the shattered Rune Plaza.

Li Yun and the Su sisters hid as Star Lord Ye Xingjue led three Great Sages and a hundred Upper Sages into the death zone. Li Yun realized Ye Xingjue had lured everyone there to study the Four Great Heavenly Saints’ Dao Resonance, and the three remained concealed while the Sages cultivated.

• Star Lord Ye Xingjue ordered the three Great Sages and a hundred Upper Sages into the death zone to suppress the Demon Fox.
• Li Yun and the Su sisters hid in a concealed cavern as the Sages approached Rune Plaza, fearing they would be blamed for the calamity.
• The three Great Sages reached Rune Plaza, ignored the Demon Fox, and began contemplating the Heavenly Saint Dao Resonance.
• The hundred Upper Sages also sat down to cultivate after the Heavenly Saint radiance eased the erosion and advanced their understanding.
• Li Yun concluded that Ye Xingjue had staged the affair to draw out the ancient Dao Resonance, while the Su sisters and everyone else served as pawns.

Li Yun discovered that the Star Lord had likely arranged the Heavenly Saint Remnant Stele crisis to make others trigger the calamity, then used the Four Great Heavenly Saints’ Dao Resonance to fuel his cultivation. He perfected the Cold Mountain Art and began repairing the Blazing Heaven Saint Art, aiming to advance toward the Heavenly Saint realm.

• Li Yun told Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao that the Great Sages had chosen to study the Four Great Heavenly Saints’ Dao Resonance instead of killing the Demon Fox, and explained the Star Lord’s likely scheme.
• Li Yun opened the Gate of Myriad Wonders and absorbed the Dao Resonance, raising his Myriad Wonders Points gains to two hundred thousand per minute.
• Li Yun began hundredfold-speed cultivation and advanced Cold Mountain Art to the Eleventh Level, reaching the corresponding late stage of Upper Sage.
• Over the next several days, Li Yun advanced Cold Mountain Art to the Twelfth Level and then perfected it, reaching the peak of Upper Sage.
• Li Yun called up the Blazing Heaven Saint Art and began repairing it, expecting to gather enough Myriad Wonders Points in three days.

Li Yun restored and perfected the first twelve levels of the Blazing Heaven Saint Art, greatly increasing his power as he approached the Great Sage bottleneck. The Primordial Demon Fox's will then awakened and attacked the death zone, leaving Li Yun exposed to Su Cangyuan's sudden assassination attempt.

• Li Yun restored the Blazing Heaven Saint Art and cultivated its first twelve levels to Perfection Realm in just over half a month.
• Li Yun's ice-and-fire Saint Power and Heaven's Will strengthened, giving him confidence to fight a half-step Great Sage.
• The Primordial Demon Fox's will broke through its seal, and six crimson tails swept through the death zone, killing several Upper Sages.
• Li Yun shielded Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao from a tail strike and remained standing, though the Cave was destroyed.
• Su Cangyuan saw Li Yun's defenses weaken and attacked him from behind with a pitch-black Saint Blade.

Li Yun survived Su Cangyuan’s ambush, broke his Saint Blade, and killed him with a single slash. The battlefield fell silent as Li Yun turned his attention to the Qing'an Escort Agency, while three Great Sages also fixed their gaze on him.

• Su Cangyuan attacked Li Yun from behind with his full strength, but Li Yun caught the Saint Blade in his wounded hand.
• Li Yun’s Ice-Fire Heaven’s Will shattered Su Cangyuan’s blade, and his palm healed without a scar.
• Su Cangyuan fled, but Li Yun drew the Heaven-Slaying Treasure Blade and killed him with one slash.
• More than one hundred Upper Sages watched in shock, while the Qing'an Escort Agency feared Li Yun would target them next.
• Li Yun turned toward the Qing'an Escort Agency as Ye Xingjue, the elder in plain clothes, and the old woman focused on him.

After recognizing Li Yun as a potential threat, the three Great Sages planned to use the Demon Fox to kill him. Li Yun sensed their intent, escaped with the Su Lineage sisters, and remained inside the Eternal Desolate Death Zone to gather Heavenly Saint Dao Essence.

• Ye Xingjue, the Plain-Robed Elder, and the Old Woman judged Li Yun a threat and secretly agreed to eliminate him using the Demon Fox.
• Ye Xingjue organized the Upper Sages into three groups to attack the Demon Fox's six tails, placing Li Yun and the Su Lineage sisters in his group.
• Li Yun sensed the Great Sages' killing intent and quietly guided the Su Lineage sisters toward the battlefield's perimeter.
• When the Demon Fox's tail struck near Ye Xingjue, Li Yun used the dust and chaos to escape with the sisters into the Eternal Desolate Death Zone.
• Nearly half an hour later, the Plain-Robed Elder noticed Li Yun was missing, and Ye Xingjue angrily realized he had slipped away.

Ye Xingjue sent five Upper Sages to search for Li Yun while he and the two Great Sages continued fighting the Demon Fox. Hidden in a cavern, Li Yun cultivated toward the Great Sage Realm, then discovered that the Silver Fox had found him, though its condition seemed unusual.

• Ye Xingjue concluded that Li Yun was still hiding in the Eternal Desolate Death Zone and ordered five Upper Sages to search for him.
• Li Yun brought Su Qingyuan and Su Lingyao to a concealed cavern and told them that Ye Xingjue and the two Great Sages wanted him dead.
• Li Yun began cultivating at a hundredfold speed and attacked the bottleneck between the Twelfth and Thirteenth Levels of the Blazing Heaven Saint Art.
• After two or three days, Li Yun’s bottleneck began to crack, and he sensed a faint, cold presence entering the cavern.
• Li Yun used the Gate of Myriad Wonders to identify the presence as the Silver Fox and realized it had targeted him, though something seemed wrong with its condition.

Li Yun realized that absorbing the ancient Four Great Heavenly Saints’ Dao Resonance was weakening the seal on Silver Fox’s Heavenly Saint Dao Fruit, but he chose to keep cultivating after sensing five Upper Sages sent to kill him approaching. The five searchers grew increasingly afraid in the Eternal Desolate Death Zone and decided to return to a cave they had not searched thoroughly.

• Li Yun examined the Gate of Myriad Wonders’ image and saw Silver Fox’s Heavenly Saint Dao Fruit bound by the Four Great Heavenly Saints’ phantoms.
• Li Yun realized that his absorption of their Dao Resonance was weakening the seal and could help Silver Fox escape.
• After sensing five Upper Sages approaching, Li Yun resumed cultivating at Hundredfold Speed despite the danger of freeing Silver Fox.
• The five Upper Sages searched deeper into the Eternal Desolate Death Zone and questioned why the Star Lord was so determined to find Li Yun.
• One Upper Sage suggested they return to a maze-like cave, and the others agreed to search it again.

Li Yun broke through to the Great Sage Realm and formed an ice-and-fire Dao Fruit, but found it strangely empty. Meanwhile, the Demon Fox’s Blood-red Mist killed five Upper Sages and strengthened the sealed creature, leaving Li Yun unaware of the danger growing around him.

• Li Yun ignored the five Upper Sages as they retreated and focused on breaking through the Blazing Heaven Saint Art’s Twelfth Level.
• The five Upper Sages rested in an outskirts Cave, where Blood-red Mist overwhelmed and consumed them.
• The Demon Fox’s sealed Dao Fruit flashed crimson as the deaths intensified its struggles and ferocity.
• After cultivating for five days with Hundredfold-Speed Cultivation, Li Yun shattered the barrier to the Thirteenth Level and reached the Great Sage Realm.
• Li Yun formed a Great Sage Dao Fruit combining ice and fire, recognized his transformed power, and felt unsettled by the fruit’s apparent emptiness.

Li Yun broke through to the Great Sage Realm and immediately tested himself on the Hengwu Domain's Martial Dao Ladder. He climbed thirteen steps before retreating safely, astonishing the Su sisters.

• Li Yun condensed his Dao Fruit and entered the Great Sage Realm after five days of intense training.
• Li Yun summoned the Martial Dao Ladder in the cavern as the Su sisters watched in surprise.
• Li Yun's Heaven's Will Dao Fruit withstood the first step's pressure and seemed to bring some of it under his control.
• Li Yun climbed from the first step to the thirteenth in half an hour, despite the growing pressure.
• Li Yun retreated down the ladder unharmed, leaving the Su sisters stunned by his unprecedented climb.

Li Yun became a Great Sage and climbed thirteen steps of the Martial Dao Ladder, while three Great Sages feared his growing power. The Demon Fox Heavenly Saint's Dao Fruit then broke free of its seal and unleashed a Blood-red Mist across Silver Fox Star.

• Su Lingyao and Su Qingyuan were stunned that Li Yun had become a Great Sage and climbed thirteen steps of the Martial Dao Ladder.
• Li Yun sensed that his Heaven's Will Dao Fruit was absorbing the will of heaven and earth from the ladder.
• Ye Xingjue, the Plain-Robed Elder, and the Armored Elderly Woman worried that Li Yun would become a threat but hesitated to attack him.
• The Demon Fox Heavenly Saint's Dao Fruit broke free of the seal in the Eternal Desolate Death Zone, and its Blood-red Mist began consuming the land.
• Ye Xingjue and the other two Great Sages watched the mist approach and cried out that the Demon Fox had escaped.

Li Yun faced the Demon Fox after it broke free, while the Su Sisters escaped the Eternal Desolate Death Zone. He persuaded Ye Xingjue and the other two Great Sages to join the fight, though they secretly planned to kill him afterward.

• Li Yun sensed the Demon Fox's killing intent and carried Su Lingyao and Su Qingyuan toward the zone's boundary.
• The Demon Fox struck at Li Yun with its colossal tail, and he sent the Su Sisters to safety before meeting the attack with the Heaven-Slaying Treasure Blade.
• Li Yun realized the Demon Fox had weakened to roughly Great Sage strength and called on Ye Xingjue and the other two Great Sages to help destroy it.
• Ye Xingjue and the others returned, outwardly agreeing to fight the Demon Fox while secretly plotting to kill Li Yun as well.
• Li Yun avoided their encirclement, and the four Great Sages began fighting the Demon Fox.

Li Yun and three Great Sages destroyed the Demon Fox by shattering its Heavenly Saint Dao Fruit. After Li Yun seized the richest fragments, Ye Xingjue and the other two attacked him, forcing him to flee while they stayed behind to collect the remaining fragments.

• Li Yun, Ye Xingjue, the Plain-Robed Elder, and the Armored Elderly Woman fought the Demon Fox together and focused their attacks on its Heavenly Saint Dao Fruit.
• The four Great Sages broke the Demon Fox's barrier, shattered its Dao Fruit, and extinguished its remnant will.
• While Ye Xingjue and the other two celebrated, Li Yun seized nearly thirty percent of the richest Dao Fruit fragments and sent them into the Myriad Wonders World.
• Ye Xingjue, the Plain-Robed Elder, and the Old Woman attacked Li Yun, wounding him and overwhelming his defense.
• Li Yun escaped the Eternal Desolate Death Zone, while Ye Xingjue and the other two stayed to gather the remaining fragments.
