Chapter Summaries

Cloud Cliff Saintess received Li Yun’s message from inside the White Emperor Inner City and went to the western outskirts to use a brief loophole to enter and help stop the Four Great Evil Spirits.

Li Yun reunited with the Cloud Cliff Saintess inside White Emperor Inner City and warned her that the Four Great Evil Spirits had infiltrated the White Emperor Family, with Bai Ruiguang likely among their pawns. He urged her to focus on finding the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root and argued that true power meant pursuing one’s own immortality, leaving the family’s fate uncertain.

• Bai Ruiguang searched for the Cloud Cliff Saintess, assumed she had fled because he mentioned the Heavenly Injury Poison, and expected the poison to bring her back.

• Li Yun claimed the Tiangu Supreme had left the Ancient Celestial Continent to seek greater strength and doubted that the Four Great Evil Spirits could use the continent to control him.

Li Yun and Cloud Cliff Saintess discussed his new perspective on the Tiangu Supreme before he impulsively kissed her, and she stopped him when things nearly went too far. After Yunyi Saintess appeared nearby, they turned to their plan for handling the Four Great Evil Spirits, leaving them to use Yunyi as a distraction while they quietly acted.

The chapter left them preparing to exploit a loophole in the city's rules and take the road less traveled.

• The Cloud Cliff Saintess urged caution around the Four Great Evil Spirits, and Li Yun activated the Eyes of Heaven and Earth and led her east beneath his Shadow Shroud.

• Li Yun told the Cloud Cliff Saintess that a mural in an eastern hall could open a gateway to the White Emperor's Palace for someone with White Emperor bloodline.
• The Cloud Cliff Saintess excitedly wanted to find the mural, but Li Yun warned that the Four Great Evil Spirits were guarding the area and said he would use a loophole to enter the palace quietly.

Li Yun led Cloud Cliff Saintess through a fleeting spatial rift into what appeared to be the White Emperor's Palace. The four Evil Spirit Commanders investigated the reported rift and found no trace of it, leaving them unsure whether it had been a trick or a real opening.

• Li Yun timed Cloud Cliff Saintess's action, and she tore open a spatial rift in an alley.
• Li Yun grabbed Cloud Cliff Saintess and entered the rift with her, and it vanished behind them.
• A passing Ghost Race member reported seeing a brief rift that appeared to show the White Emperor's Palace, and Gui Teng took him to investigate.
• The four Evil Spirit Commanders left Dao Seed Realm subordinates to guard the damaged altars and followed the Ghost Race member to the alley.
• The commanders found only a wall and rushed back to the altars, where their subordinates and the damaged altars remained unharmed.
• The four commanders wondered whether Li Yun had set a trap or whether the rift had truly appeared, and Mo Yan began proposing an explanation.

Mo Yan persuaded Gui Teng and the other commanders that a recurring spatial rift might let them enter the White Emperor's Palace, so they returned to watch the alley. Meanwhile, Li Yun and the Cloud Cliff Saintess found a hidden doorway in the palace's main hall and entered the true White Emperor's Palace, where Li Yun's Martial Cognition Points surged.

• Mo Yan explained that flaws in the palace's seals could cause the spatial rift to reappear, and Gui Teng and the other commanders went back to keep watch.
• Li Yun and the Cloud Cliff Saintess emerged from a spatial rift inside the White Emperor's main hall, where the Saintess felt her bloodline stir.
• Li Yun pushed aside the throne-like chair and revealed a golden doorway to a magnificent hidden Cave Heaven.
• Li Yun and the Cloud Cliff Saintess entered the true White Emperor's Palace, and Li Yun's Martial Cognition Points rose from 100 million to 2 billion per second.

Li Yun explored the White Emperor's Palace, where its Dao Resonance filled him with martial arts and began passing the White Emperor's inheritance to the Cloud Cliff Saintess. In the palace garden, he found a vast trove of treasures and discovered that the sealed Azure Lotus was a spirit creature who offered to help him move them if he freed her.

• Li Yun gained numerous Peerless Arts and Divine Abilities from the White Emperor's residual Dao Resonance while the Cloud Cliff Saintess absorbed the White Emperor's inheritance.
• Li Yun left the Cloud Cliff Saintess undisturbed and searched the palace for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root and his own opportunity.
• Li Yun found hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in a garden, including nine Heaven Grade treasures and a sealed Azure Lotus nearing transformation into a spirit creature.
• Li Yun moved around ten thousand treasures into his Heavenly Origin Ring before stopping to rest.
• The Azure Lotus revealed herself as a beautiful woman and offered to help move the treasures if Li Yun undid her Seal.
• Li Yun asked whether he should call her Azure Monster or Azure Lotus Fairy.

Li Yun pretended to be seduced by the Azure Lotus while concealing that he intended to subdue her and exploit her value as a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. He transplanted her into the Heavenly Origin Ring, where her Transformation Tribulation began as six bolts of Primordial Golden Lightning appeared.

• The Azure Lotus tried to persuade Li Yun to help her escape the Seal by transplanting her into his treasure so she could undergo her Transformation Tribulation.
• Li Yun feigned hesitation and desire while planning to subdue the Azure Lotus after she transformed.
• The Azure Lotus intensified her seductive appeal, and Li Yun pretended to agree to help her transform.
• Li Yun examined the Seal, confirmed it would disappear when he transplanted the Azure Lotus, and moved her original body into the Heavenly Origin Ring.
• Golden thunderclouds appeared inside the Heavenly Origin Ring, and the first of six visible bolts of Primordial Golden Lightning descended toward the Azure Lotus.

Li Yun watched the Azure Lotus endure her six-bolt Primordial Golden Lightning Transformation Tribulation, discovering that the Heavenly Origin Ring protected her and had made her permanently subject to its laws. After the tribulation ended, the Azure Lotus transformed into a woman of extraordinary beauty, while Li Yun’s Primordial Golden Lightning Art advanced rapidly.

• The Heavenly Origin Ring weakened the Primordial Golden Lightning and protected the Azure Lotus, and Li Yun learned that she could not escape the ring’s laws.
• Li Yun realized the Azure Lotus had entered the ring to survive her Transformation Tribulation and decided he could keep her under control afterward.
• The Azure Lotus endured the first four bolts with little discomfort and privately mocked Li Yun, believing she would deal with him once she transformed.
• The Azure Lotus endured the fifth and sixth bolts as the lightning’s accumulated power finally caused her pain, while her excitement grew as the tribulation neared its end.
• The thunderclouds dispersed, and the Azure Lotus transformed from her plant form into an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

After Azure Lotus took human form, she turned against Li Yun and attacked him, but he easily defeated her and showed that she could not escape his treasure. Li Yun let her leave the Treasure Space and then used its power to drag her back, leaving her at his feet.

• Azure Lotus took human form, rejected Li Yun as a Dao Companion, and demanded that he hand over his treasure.
• Azure Lotus attacked Li Yun with her hair, but he used “Perish!” to nullify her innate Divine Ability.
• Azure Lotus tried to flee through the Treasure Space, but she could not escape it.
• Li Yun sent Azure Lotus back to the White Emperor's Palace, where she tried to escape into the garden.
• Li Yun called “Retrieve!” and pulled Azure Lotus back to his feet, then pinched her cheek.

Li Yun searched the White Emperor's Palace for its true core inheritance but found no stronger arts or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root. After two days, Azure Lotus begged to be released, and Li Yun made clear that he had never intended to take her as his Dao Companion.

• Li Yun checked the recovering Cloud Cliff Saintess, then reviewed the many techniques and Divine Abilities triggered in the White Emperor's Palace, including the high Heaven Grade Primordial Absolute Sword.
• Li Yun suspected the palace still concealed the White Emperor's true core orthodoxy and expanded his search for a Quasi-Immortal Law and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.
• Li Yun explored nearly every reachable part of the palace over the next two days, but the system revealed no stronger arts and he found no Spiritual Root.
• Azure Lotus pleaded with Li Yun to let her out of the Heavenly Origin Ring and offered to become his Dao Companion.
• Li Yun rejected Azure Lotus's offer, revealed the predatory aura of his Myriad Treasures Divine Body, and left her trembling in fear.

Li Yun forced the Azure Lotus to accept her role as his slave and had her transplant the White Emperor’s treasures while he perfected the palace’s martial arts. The Azure Lotus revealed that the White Emperor had left long ago and left a message, and Li Yun demanded to hear it.

• Li Yun threatened to devour the Azure Lotus unless she obeyed, and she agreed to become his slave.
• Li Yun brought the Azure Lotus into the White Emperor’s Palace and ordered her to transplant the remaining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures without damaging any.
• Li Yun spent Cognition Points perfecting thousands of the White Emperor’s techniques and martial arts, and realized he was creating a Dao Canon of his own.
• Li Yun asked the Azure Lotus about the White Emperor, and she said he had left long ago and sealed the palace when he departed.
• The Azure Lotus told Li Yun that the White Emperor had left a message, and Li Yun urgently asked what it said.

Azure Lotus told Li Yun that White Emperor’s true Inheritance Ground was hidden in the White Emperor Temple, and Li Yun postponed going there to cultivate while she moved treasures into his Heavenly Origin Ring. Outside the White Emperor's Palace, the Four Great Evil Spirits gave up waiting for a spatial rift and returned to repair the Altar, but the rift reappeared shortly afterward.

• Azure Lotus told Li Yun that White Emperor had instructed her to guide anyone who helped her survive the Transformation Tribulation to the White Emperor Temple, where her blood essence could open the Portal to the true Inheritance Ground.
• Li Yun realized that the White Emperor's Palace was a decoy and told Azure Lotus to transplant the treasures into his Heavenly Origin Ring while he cultivated.
• After watching the alley for several days without seeing a spatial rift, Mo Yan and the other Evil Spirit Commanders decided to return to the Altar and repair it within two days.
• The Four Commanders sent their subordinates to repair the Altar and left four Dharma Form Realm cultivators to watch the alley.
• About an hour after the Four Commanders left, a spatial rift silently reappeared in the alley where Li Yun had entered the White Emperor's Palace with Cloud Cliff Saintess.

The Cloud Cliff Saintess and Li Yun tricked the Four Great Evil Spirits Commanders into believing a spatial rift to the White Emperor's Palace had appeared by itself. After leaving the alley unnoticed, they attacked the Evil Spirits' four Altars, and the Cloud Cliff Saintess unleashed Ten Thousand Swords Vanquish as the chapter ended with the Evil Spirits engulfed in sword light.

• Four Evil Spirits saw the spatial rift appear and vanish, then alerted Gui Teng and the other commanders.
• Mo Yan persuaded the commanders that the rift was real and suggested sending more subordinates to watch for it.
• Li Yun and the Cloud Cliff Saintess, hidden by Shadow Shroud, overheard the commanders and planned to destroy the Altars before dealing with the Evil Spirits.
• Li Yun and the Cloud Cliff Saintess slipped away and appeared beside the four Altars as the Evil Spirits repaired them.
• The Cloud Cliff Saintess unleashed Ten Thousand Swords Vanquish, and its descending sword light swallowed the Evil Spirits working on the Altars.

Li Yun and the Cloud Cliff Saintess battled the Four Evil Spirit Commanders inside the White Emperor Inner City, where she tested her new inheritance against their trump-card treasures. Li Yun killed their remaining subordinates and vanished after taunting them, while the Saintess continued fighting the commanders.

• Gui Teng hurled a Ghost-Faced Ferocious Statue at the Cloud Cliff Saintess, but her Divine Ability overpowered it and destroyed the four Altars and nearly a thousand Evil Spirit subordinates.
• Mo Yan, the Demon Race Commander, and the spirit creature Commander unleashed their treasures, suppressing the Saintess's Divine Ability until she emerged from Li Yun's shadow and fought all four commanders.
• The Eye of Rules appeared and fixed its gaze on the Four Evil Spirit Commanders, who continued their assault while threatening the Saintess.
• Li Yun slipped back to the alley and crushed the four remaining Dharma Form Realm Evil Spirits with his Mountain River Seal.
• Li Yun mocked the Four Divine Clans, disappeared into the shadows, and left the Cloud Cliff Saintess battling the commanders.

Li Yun spent 5,000 trillion Martial Cognition Points to master the Quasi-Immortal Law Primordial Golden Lightning Art, but discovered that his cultivation was too low to activate it. Frustrated, he asked Azure Lotus to send him all his Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures so he could rapidly improve his cultivation.

• Li Yun chose not to interfere as Cloud Cliff Saintess fought the four Evil Spirit Commanders, then learned that the Primordial Golden Lightning Art required 5,000 trillion Martial Cognition Points to reach perfection.
• Li Yun spent the points and spent half a month comprehending the Quasi-Immortal Law, while golden lightning harmlessly circled his body under the influence of the King of Lightning Innate Divine Ability.
• Li Yun realized that the Primordial Golden Lightning Art could summon Primordial Golden Lightning but that his cultivation and Dharma Power were insufficient to activate it.
• Li Yun resolved to raise his cultivation and asked Azure Lotus to send him all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he had acquired.

Li Yun used the Heavenly Origin Ring’s abundant treasures to cultivate until both his Martial Dao cultivation and physical body reached the Heavenly Human Ninth Layer. He activated the Primordial Golden Lightning Art against the Four Great Evil Spirits’ commanders, killing them instantly, but collapsed after the Quasi-Immortal Law drained his mana and spirit.

• Li Yun cultivated with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures supplied by Tianqingliang, strengthening his Dharma Power and physical body.
• After seven more days, Li Yun saw that the Cloud Cliff Saintess and the Four Great Evil Spirits’ commanders had both weakened in their ongoing battle.
• Li Yun checked his status and found that his Martial Dao cultivation and physical body had reached the Heavenly Human Ninth Layer.
• Li Yun activated the Primordial Golden Lightning Art against the four commanders, and golden lightning killed them before either side could react.
• The Quasi-Immortal Law emptied Li Yun’s mana and spirit, and the Cloud Cliff Saintess caught him as he fell while the commanders’ bodies turned to pus.

Li Yun used the Primordial Golden Lightning Art to kill the Four Great Evil Spirits' commanders, but the effort left him unconscious and severely depleted. After recovering enough to wake, he learned from the Cloud Cliff Saintess about the Three Supreme Profound Meanings and Tiangu Supreme's Great Space-Time Art, then asked what methods the other Ancient Emperors had used.

• Li Yun unleashed the Primordial Golden Lightning Art, killing the four commanders and destroying the power of their treasures before collapsing from exhaustion.
• The Cloud Cliff Saintess fed Li Yun rare treasures and pills, and he began to recover after three days and woke after two more.
• Li Yun explained that the Quasi-Immortal Law could stir the World Will like a Heaven and Earth Judgment, but vowed not to use it again unless absolutely necessary.
• The Cloud Cliff Saintess told Li Yun that Heaven and Earth Judgment was one of the Three Supreme Profound Meanings, and described Tiangu Supreme's Great Space-Time Art.
• Li Yun asked about the other eight Ancient Emperors' Quasi-Immortal Laws, and the Cloud Cliff Saintess said she could name only two.

Li Yun learned that the Three Supreme Profound Meanings required both reaching the core of heaven and earth and possessing sufficient destiny, and he suspected his own destiny could eventually let him cultivate Immortal Arts. After restoring his power with treasures supplied by Cloud Cliff Saintess, he broke through to the Heavenly Human Tenth Layer, but Yunyi Saintess arrived and caught him kissing Cloud Cliff Saintess.

• Cloud Cliff Saintess told Li Yun about the Primordial White Emperor and Primordial Sparrow Emperor, then explained that the Three Supreme Profound Meanings were tied to Heaven Man Unity and an unknown prerequisite called destiny.
• Li Yun realized that he was a Marquis-level Child of Destiny and speculated that destiny, rather than access to the deepest layers of heaven and earth, might determine who could comprehend the Three Supreme Profound Meanings.
• Li Yun used treasures from his Heavenly Origin Ring and Cloud Cliff Saintess's supplies to restore his Dharma Power and spiritual energy.
• Li Yun broke through from the Heavenly Human Ninth Layer to the Heavenly Human Tenth Layer, while his Myriad Treasures Divine Body remained stuck at the Ninth Layer.
• Li Yun kissed Cloud Cliff Saintess, and Yunyi Saintess arrived nearby and saw them embracing.

After catching Li Yun and Cloud Cliff Saintess together, Yunyi Saintess feared for her life, but Li Yun spared her in exchange for a large payment and her silence. Li Yun and Cloud Cliff Saintess then headed toward the western side of the White Emperor Inner City, where he suggested the city and palace were a smokescreen hiding the true inheritance.

• Yunyi Saintess discovered Cloud Cliff Saintess embracing and kissing Li Yun, then approached him and apologized for opposing him earlier.
• Cloud Cliff Saintess urged Li Yun to spare Yunyi Saintess, and Li Yun agreed on condition that she keep what she saw secret and deliver one hundred thousand Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within two months.
• Li Yun vanished with the four treasures dropped by the commanders of the Four Great Evil Spirits, leaving Yunyi Saintess to regret her earlier actions and worry about gathering the payment.
• Li Yun reunited with Cloud Cliff Saintess and traveled with her under Shadow Space-Time to the western side of the White Emperor Inner City.
• Cloud Cliff Saintess said she had not found the White Emperor's Great Annihilation Sword Art, and Li Yun suggested the inner city and palace were a smokescreen before slicing open space.
