Chapter Summaries

Li Yun avoided meeting Chen Jiuxu and continued cultivating in Golden Valley Immortal City, where he eventually faced the problem of concealing another Immortal Venerable Dao Fruit from Taiwu Divine Hall. As he prepared to leave the Taiwu Divine Realm, a disturbance at the Immortal Gate revealed that Immortal Venerable Shenyue had appeared again.

• Li Yun decided not to meet Chen Jiuxu, fearing his own immense karma would endanger him, and chose to keep cultivating in secret.
• Chen Jiuxu stayed in Golden Valley Immortal City for three months before Wukong Earth Venerable escorted him back to Taiwu Divine Hall.
• Over the following years, Li Yun remained hidden while rumors about the boundary-crosser gradually faded.
• Li Yun raised the Taiwu Sacred Dao to the fifth level of perfection and sensed that another Great Dao was about to condense an Immortal Venerable Dao Fruit.
• Worried Taiwu Divine Hall would detect the Dao Fruit, Li Yun prepared to leave the Taiwu Divine Realm, but then sensed Immortal Venerable Shenyue appearing at the Immortal Gate.

Li Yun entered the Immortal Scar Realm in person and discovered that drawing on the Supreme Immortal Gate made him undetectable to nearby Immortal Venerables. Excited by the gains and his newfound freedom, he ignored Immortal Venerable Shenyue’s summons and began condensing Immortal Venerable Dao Fruits.

• Li Yun opened the Immortal Gate and entered the Immortal Scar Realm with his true body, appearing far from where he had first met Immortal Venerable Shenyue.

Li Yun learned from Immortal Venerable Shenyue that the Fate Dao was taboo because Cang Life Master once used a Fate River to seize living beings’ destinies and threatened the Chaos Great Void. After hearing how Cang Life Master was sealed in Wujian, Li Yun rejected the tempting idea of copying his method, realizing it would make him the target of powerful beings.

• Immortal Venerable Shenyue asked Li Yun to help recover the missing portion of his destiny, which was trapped in Wujian Life Master’s Fate River.

• Shenyue agreed to swear that he would not betray Li Yun.

Li Yun left the Immortal Scar Realm after condensing ten more Immortal Venerable Dao Fruits and returned to traveling through the Taiwu Divine Realm. Two years later, he visited Chen Yuan’s residence in the Hengwu Great World and encountered a woman who greeted Chen Yuan as her big brother.

• After killing Earth Venerable Gu Yang, Li Yun gained ten opportunities to condense Immortal Venerable Dao Fruits and used them before leaving the Immortal Scar Realm.
• Li Yun returned to the Taiwu Divine Realm, where his connection to the Supreme Immortal Gate was weaker, and decided to return to the Immortal Scar Realm whenever he needed to condense more Dao Fruits.

• Chen Yuan welcomed Li Yun into his residence in the Hengwu Great World and praised the help Li Yun had given him.
• A slender, frail-looking woman entered and greeted Chen Yuan as her big brother.

Li Yun visited Chen Yuan’s home and met his frail younger sister, Chen Xiu, whose Immortal Gate he could not sense. After Chen Yuan recounted Chen Xiu’s lifelong weakness and their parents’ deaths, Li Yun wondered whether she might be someone beyond the Supreme Immortal Gate’s control.

• Chen Yuan reunited with Chen Xiu and introduced Li Yun as Miu Yun, a powerful Immortal Sovereign who had helped him cultivate.
• Li Yun could not sense Chen Xiu’s Immortal Gate and privately considered whether she was secretly a Heavenly Venerable or had no Immortal Gate.
• Chen Xiu hosted Li Yun and Chen Yuan for a meal, then excused herself while the two men continued drinking through the night without incident.
• Chen Yuan told Li Yun that Chen Xiu had been frail since birth, that their mother died after giving birth to her, and that their father later died searching for a way to heal her.
• Chen Yuan passed out, and Li Yun settled into a quiet courtyard, questioning whether Chen Xiu’s condition revealed a kind of person beyond the Supreme Immortal Gate’s control.

Li Yun tried to avoid Chen Xiu and leave Chen Yuan’s home, but Chen Xiu caught up and asked whether he would help her if she were in trouble. Li Yun explained that he was leaving to check on Chen Jiuxu, whose fortune showed signs of approaching calamity.

• Li Yun decided to avoid probing Chen Xiu and pretended not to know anything about her mysterious nature.
• Chen Xiu used the Eye of True Discrimination to study Li Yun, then collapsed from the strain of maintaining it.

• Li Yun said Chen Jiuxu might be in trouble because Calamity Qi had appeared in his fortune, and he needed to check on him.
• Chen Xiu asked Li Yun whether he would help her if she were in trouble.

• Li Yun reluctantly followed Chen Xiu back to the garden after she asked him to stay and help her.
• Chen Xiu sent Chen Yuan away so she could speak privately with Li Yun, and Chen Yuan left the residence.
• Chen Xiu said her trouble concerned fate, prompting Li Yun to suspect she had seen through his disguise and identity.
• Chen Xiu revealed that Li Yun was not Miao Yun but the Fate Immortal Venerable, and Li Yun asked how she had figured it out.

Li Yun learned that Chen Xiu had exposed his identity through her innate Eye of True Discrimination, which drained her strength and burdened her fate. Though Chen Xiu asked him for help and revealed her affection for him, Li Yun remained focused on the mystery of her missing Immortal Gate and began investigating her fate.

• Li Yun prepared to attack and flee if Chen Xiu threatened him, but she explained that her Eye of True Discrimination had revealed his identity.
• Chen Xiu used her eyes, then weakened so severely that Li Yun doubted she possessed the strength of a Heavenly Venerable.
• Chen Xiu said the Eye of True Discrimination let her see that Li Yun's created fate for Immortal Emperor Miao Yun was unreal, and that using the power drained her cultivation and body.
• Chen Xiu asked Li Yun to investigate her fate, accepted that he might uncover her secrets, and openly showed her affection for him.
• Li Yun agreed to investigate because he could not sense Chen Xiu's Immortal Gate, then activated the Forbidden Divine Charm to conceal his actions.

Li Yun discovered that a powerful eye inside Chen Xiu’s Fate Number was the source of her frailty and lack of an Immortal Gate. After failing to observe the eye with his system, he told Chen Xiu he could not help her control it yet and offered to try again later.

• Li Yun saw a chaotic Fate Number containing an eye whose power seemed comparable to the true body of the Supreme Immortal Gate.
• Li Yun concluded that the eye burdened Chen Xiu’s Fate Number and caused her innate frailty, and that she might have a special connection to it.
• Li Yun tried to use his system to observe the eye, but after three days it did not react.
• Li Yun told Chen Xiu he could not help her control the eye for now and asked her to trust him and either stay with him or remain at home until he could try again.

• The registration officer explained that the white jade register verified information through a divine artifact jointly refined by the nine Heavenly Venerables of Taiwu Divine Hall.

Li Yun discovered that Calamity Qi had spread through the fates of people across the Taiwu Divine Hall and feared an immense disaster was approaching. He arranged for Hu Wei to deliver a warning to the Hall, leaving its guards stunned by Hu Wei’s strange outburst.

• Li Yun found that Chen Jiuxu’s Calamity Qi kept growing despite his seclusion, then saw Calamity Qi in the fates of the Taiwu Divine Hall’s Earth Venerables and Human Venerables.
• Li Yun concluded that a catastrophe might engulf the Taiwu Divine Hall and the surrounding Taiwu Divine Realm, and decided to warn Chen Jiuxu without revealing his use of the Immortal Gate.
• Li Yun secretly influenced Hu Wei, a First Grade Immortal Sovereign, whose plans and thoughts changed repeatedly as he left the Taiwu Divine Hall.
• Hu Wei returned to the Hall, roared toward its depths, and warned that a great calamity was coming and Calamity Qi had invaded the nine Heavenly Venerables’ fates.
• Hu Wei collapsed in exhaustion, leaving the nearby law enforcement guards dumbfounded.

• Taiwu Heavenly Venerable asked Cangxuan to investigate again, and Cangxuan agreed.

• Li Yun took control of Hu Wei and mocked Taiwu Heavenly Venerable, saying the promise meant they planned to settle the score after using him.

Li Yun used Hu Wei to confront the nine Heavenly Venerables over their distrust and his Fate Dao Fruit, then cut off communication. The Heavenly Venerables were left unable to trace him or investigate the calamity without his help.

• Heavenly Venerable Tai Shi reprimanded the Heavenly Venerables for failing to find Earth Venerable Hun Tian’s killer and warned that the Sacred Heaven Realm’s growth could soon lead to war among Immortal Venerables.
• Heavenly Venerable Heng Yu suggested that Li Yun had killed Earth Venerable Hun Tian because both the killer and Li Yun had vanished without a trace and Li Yun held a grudge against the Heavenly Dao Palace.
