Chapter Summaries

Li Yun broke through to the Forty-Seventh Level of the [Myriad Wonders Emperor Scripture] after exhausting much of his Myriad Wonders Points and resisting the Hengwu Domain’s Primordial Order. He learned that his Emperor Nature could not exceed nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang, but could transform into Primordial Emperor Nature, leaving him stronger and able to glimpse the domain’s paths of heaven and earth.

• Li Yun received a torrent of information and realized his Emperor Nature had transformed into Primordial Emperor Nature without growing taller.
• Li Yun sensed that his transformed Emperor Nature was at least three times stronger and glimpsed the countless paths rooted in the Primordial Order.

Li Yun used the Primordial Order to reveal and burn away the Gleaming Light Mark Holy Son Jueluo had secretly placed on him. Jueluo realized the mark was gone, but before he could resume tracking Li Yun, Great Black Heaven’s forces surrounded him and attacked.

• Li Yun formed a Primordial Mirror and discovered a tiny mark left by Holy Son Jueluo.

• Jueluo unleashed the Hand of the Wisdom King, and a battle erupted.

After searching himself for three days to ensure Jueluo's mark was gone, Li Yun went to the Chaos Heaven Cave Secret Realm to ask Ye Chen about Primordial Emperor Nature.

• Ye Chen told Li Yun he would have to choose between the Pure Land, Black Heaven, and Heavenly Blood Divine Kingdoms, then warned that refusing to choose meant death.

Ye Chen revealed the dangerous route of becoming a Primordial Dao Sage and creating a Primordial World, then warned that its ascent into a Divine Kingdom could bring annihilating tribulation.

• Ye Chen explained that Lesser World gods usually join an Other Shore True God's Divine Kingdom System, retain their autonomy, and guard a world in exchange for protection and support.

Meanwhile, Jueluo Holy Son tried to turn his pursuers against Li Yun by revealing that Li Yun was seeking to transform his Emperor Nature into Primordial Emperor Nature, but Great Black Heaven’s leaders dismissed his warning.

• Jueluo Holy Son claimed Li Yun was seeking to break past that limit and create Primordial Emperor Nature, but the Second Holy Son of Black Heaven and the others did not believe him.

Jueluo Holy Son warned the four Black Heaven pursuers that Li Yun had cultivated a Nine-Hundred-Ninety-Nine-Zhang Emperor Nature and could infiltrate their Dark Abyss, but they initially doubted him. After prisoners vanished from all four Forbidden Prisons, Jueluo used the distraction to escape.

• Jueluo Holy Son claimed Li Yun was seeking Primordial Emperor Nature and had secretly raided the Seven Holy Sons of Black Heaven’s Dark Abyss.

After spending nearly all his Myriad Wonders Points to cultivate the Forty-Seventh Layer of the Myriad Wonders Emperor Scripture to 5%, Li Yun left his hidden Secret Realm to seek more. In the Starry Sky, he encountered Ling Qingyue fleeing two Saint Emperors and stepped in to save her.

• The four Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of Great Black Heaven searched for Li Yun but found no trace of him.
• Li Yun hid in an undiscovered Secret Realm and cultivated the Forty-Seventh Layer, advancing 1% per month while spending five quadrillion Myriad Wonders Points each month.

• Li Yun left the Secret Realm and heard two Saint Emperors pursuing Ling Qingyue through the Starry Sky.
• Li Yun saw that Ling Qingyue was nearly out of Saint Power and appeared before her pursuers to intervene.

Li Yun stopped two Saint Emperors of the Profound Rain Dynasty from pursuing Ling Qingyue, and she returned the stolen Precious Orb.

• Li Yun continued investigating for a little over a month, killing Weird Demons for their Dao Fruits until the Gate of Myriad Wonders revealed the Ancient Sword’s location.
• Li Yun tore through space toward the Ancient Sword, expecting to reach it within a day.

Li Yun found the Ancient Sword that had severed most of the Beast-Grazing Land’s Divine Kingdom Order and let the Gate of Myriad Wonders analyze it from a safe distance. He discovered the sword’s origin aura was growing the Myriad Wonders World, giving him an unexpected windfall that he used to begin cultivating at fifty-millionfold speed.

• Li Yun found the Ancient Sword embedded in a barren wasteland and recognized it from the Gate of Myriad Wonders’ visions.
• Li Yun stayed a hundred li away, wary that removing the sword could provoke the Divine Kingdom Order or summon the Primordial Demon Lord, and asked the Gate of Myriad Wonders to analyze it.

• Li Yun realized the Gate of Myriad Wonders was absorbing the Ancient Sword’s origin aura, which was nourishing the Myriad Wonders World.
• Li Yun activated cultivation at fifty-millionfold speed and began turning the unexpected windfall into strength.

Li Yun learned more about the Guanlan Divine Sword, its power to sever laws and Divine Kingdom Orders, and the fate of its former owner. As he continued cultivating, the Gate of Myriad Wonders revealed that the Myriad Laws True God had fallen in a God War and Guanlan had eventually been used to suppress the Beast-Grazing Land.

• Li Yun paused his cultivation after the Gate of Myriad Wonders identified Guanlan as the bonded divine sword of a Mid-Rank True God.
• A month later, Li Yun received visions revealing that Guanlan could observe the world's laws and sever them, including Divine Kingdom Orders.
• Li Yun considered whether Guanlan's mysteries could strengthen a future Primordial Order, then set the idea aside and resumed cultivating.

• Li Yun learned that the Myriad Laws True God had founded the Myriad Laws Divine Kingdom, but fell when three Dark Faction True Gods defeated him in a God War.
• After the Myriad Laws True God's death, Guanlan fell into Other Shore Heaven and Dark Chaos; a mysterious True God later used it to slay the Primordial Demon Lord and embed it in the Beast-Grazing Land.

Li Yun discovered that the Guanlan Divine Sword had drawn the attention of a mysterious True God, who seemed to notice him before Li Yun escaped to the Hengwu Domain. Still shaken, Li Yun went to the Chaos Heaven Cave Secret Realm and told Ye Chen about the sword, prompting Ye Chen to warn him that the Myriad Laws True God was tied to dangerous cause and effect.

• Li Yun sensed danger at the Beast-Grazing Land and teleported away just before a faceless presence appeared near the Guanlan Divine Sword.
• The mysterious presence noticed Li Yun's escape and said it would send someone to the Hengwu Domain to meet him.

Li Yun revealed that the sword was embedded in the Beast-Grazing Land and admitted he might have alerted the True God controlling it.

• Ye Chen argued that three Dark Faction True Gods would not normally have besieged the Myriad Laws True God without someone in the Light Faction betraying him.

• Li Yun told Ye Chen he had found the Guanlan Divine Sword in the Beast-Grazing Land, where its power had severed most of the land's Divine Kingdom Order.
• Ye Chen wondered whether someone had used the sword against the Primordial Demon Lord, and Li Yun admitted he might have alerted the True God who controlled it.

• Li Yun told Ye Chen that a grave sense of danger had driven him to flee the Beast-Grazing Land before he could continue studying the Guanlan Divine Sword.
• Ye Chen said Li Yun was unlikely to be worth a True God's personal intervention and explained that True Gods faced restrictions on leaving the Other Shore Heaven.
• Li Yun relaxed after learning that a True God could not easily descend into the Hengwu Domain, given his own strength and means of evading Supreme Sages.
• Ye Chen warned that discussing the Other Shore Heaven and True Gods increased the burden of cause and effect on him, which could eventually kill him.
• Ye Chen explained that cosmic rules confined True Gods to protect lower worlds, and that descending in person could trigger the Other Shore Divine Tribulation unless a True God paid a steep price to avoid it.
• Li Yun understood that even Other Shore True Gods were bound by the cosmos's immense system of rules.
