Chapter Summaries

After the Night Silence Ancient God ambushed Li Yun with Nirvana Divine Light, Li Yun used his Life-and-Death Power to save himself and discovered a way to strengthen it. He resolved to pursue this path and take revenge on the Night Silence Ancient God.

• The Night Silence Ancient God ambushed Li Yun, pierced his chest with Nirvana Divine Light, and left him to die.
• Li Yun realized his Undying Ancient God power could not stop the wound from spreading and feared he would perish.
• Li Yun drew out the Life-and-Death Power hidden in his body and formed a millstone over his chest wound.
• The Life-and-Death Millstone extracted and devoured the Nirvana Divine Light, easing Li Yun's pain and strengthening his power.
• Li Yun concluded that life and death were one cycle and vowed to kill the Night Silence Ancient God.

Li Yun survived the Night Silence Ancient God's Nirvana Divine Light and escaped, while the Night Silence Ancient God spread a wanted notice across the Dreadbound Sea of Realms. Li Yun hid in a plane to study the Life-and-Death Dao, only to discover another Undying Ancient God was already there.

• Li Yun's Life-and-Death Millstone devoured the remnants of the Nirvana Divine Light, healed his wound, and strengthened his power.
• The Night Silence Ancient God returned, realized Li Yun had survived, and regretted underestimating him.
• The Night Silence Ancient God sent messages throughout the Dreadbound Sea of Realms asking other Undying Ancient Gods to find or capture Li Yun in exchange for a favor.
• Li Yun repeatedly changed direction to evade pursuit, then hid inside a plane to deepen his understanding of the Life-and-Death Dao.
• An Undying Ancient God who had already been hiding in the plane appeared before Li Yun, leaving him alarmed that he had entered someone else's territory.

Li Yun met Leng Yue, a female Undying Ancient God, on the Ancient Mirror Plane and learned that Night Silence Ancient God had placed a bounty on him. He stayed on the plane, observing its ruler and cultivating while Leng Yue became its moon.

• Li Yun apologized to Leng Yue for intruding, then learned she would not hand him over despite Night Silence Ancient God's bounty.
• Leng Yue gave her name and left, allowing Li Yun to remain on the Ancient Mirror Plane as long as he did not interfere with her.
• Li Yun learned that the Ancient Mirror Plane ranked eighty-seventh and that Venerable Ancient Mirror wielded Plane Authority through a First Grade Divine Image.
• Li Yun judged Venerable Ancient Mirror's path dangerous, then focused on his own cultivation and watched Leng Yue transform into a full moon illuminating the plane.
• Li Yun contemplated his Life-and-Death Millstone and the Myriad Gods Realm's Primordial Unity Qi, regretting that Night Silence Ancient God had taken the more useful Plane Source Energy.

Li Yun spent three million years hidden as a mountain in the Ancient Mirror Plane, then decided to leave rather than wait for the plane’s slow cycle of life and death to strengthen him. Before he departed, the Cold Moon Female Ancient God warned him that Night Silence was still searching for him and explained the Undying Heavenly Wheels.

• Li Yun gradually merged his pulse with the Ancient Mirror Plane while cultivators fought over the Divine Medicines growing on his slopes.
• Li Yun realized the Cold Moon Female Ancient God had become part of the plane to experience its cycles of life and death, but decided that approach was too slow for his revenge against Night Silence.
• Li Yun ended his mountain form and prepared to leave, startling the cultivators searching the Divine Peak.
• The Cold Moon Female Ancient God spoke to Li Yun, warned him that Night Silence was still hunting him, and said Night Silence had reached the Three-Wheel Realm.
• Li Yun admitted he did not know what an Undying Heavenly Wheel was, so the Cold Moon Female Ancient God revealed her four wheels and explained their power.

Leng Yue explained to Li Yun that Calamity threatened to destroy the Boundary Seas and that an Undying Ancient God could survive it only by forging an Undying Heavenly Wheel and cultivating a powerful Immortal Trait. She revealed that a fallen figure from the Ancient Cang Divine Court had ventured into Calamity’s source, and Li Yun resolved to focus on strengthening himself.

• Li Yun asked Leng Yue what it meant for the Undying Heavenly Wheel to keep misfortune at bay, and she explained how Ominous Miasma spread as planes approached their end.
• Leng Yue told Li Yun that Calamity could destroy an entire Boundary Sea forever, and that three of the original twelve Boundary Seas had already vanished.
• Leng Yue explained that no one across the Nine Great Boundary Seas had yet endured Calamity through their Immortal Trait, making the prophecy of surviving as long as the world an unrealized dream.
• Li Yun asked why the Ancient Cang Divine Court did not stop Calamity, and Leng Yue told him the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin carried a fallen figure who had tried to eradicate Calamity at its source.
• Leng Yue urged Li Yun to strengthen his Undying Heavenly Wheels, and he agreed that building his own strength mattered most.

Li Yun left the Ancient Mirror Plane and discovered that absorbing Ominous Miasma strengthened his Life-and-Death Power. After cultivating in it for eight million years, he prepared to risk his first self-imposed Life-and-Death Calamity to forge another Undying Heavenly Wheel.

• Li Yun befriended Leng Yue Ancient God, then left the Ancient Mirror Plane rather than interfere with her attempt to reach the five-wheel realm.
• Li Yun traveled through the Boundary Sea without encountering another Undying Ancient God and found that Ominous Miasma could fuel his Life-and-Death Power.
• Li Yun settled in a dense stretch of Ominous Miasma and cultivated with the Life-and-Death Millstone.
• After eight million years, Li Yun reached the peak of his Life-and-Death Power and decided to attempt his first Life-and-Death Calamity as an Undying Ancient God.
• Li Yun accepted the risk of dying permanently and began his attempt to forge another Undying Heavenly Wheel.

Li Yun cultivated within the Ominous Miasma, dying and slowly rebuilding himself until he forged his first Undying Heavenly Wheel in sixteen million years. After hiding his achievement, he realized that forging a second wheel would take at least eighty million years.

• Li Yun let death overtake life within himself, drawing in Ominous Miasma until his body decayed and dissolved, leaving only the Supreme Immortal Gate.
• After millions of years, a glimmer of life appeared beside the gate and gradually gathered vitality until Li Yun was reborn in flesh and blood.
• Li Yun forged his first Undying Heavenly Wheel and celebrated completing it in only sixteen million years.
• Li Yun concealed his wheel and aura within the Ominous Miasma rather than reveal his extraordinary progress to other Undying Ancient Gods.
• After three years of contemplation, Li Yun concluded that forging a second Undying Heavenly Wheel would take at least eighty million years.

Li Yun continued grinding away at the Ominous Miasma, while Night Silence Ancient God recruited Ancient God Hu Niu to help him find and kill Li Yun. Hu Niu agreed to help in exchange for half the Plane Source Energy from two dying planes.

• Li Yun complained that condensing his Second Immortal Heavenly Wheel would take eighty million years, then returned to absorbing the Ominous Miasma.
• Night Silence Ancient God woke Ancient God Hu Niu and scolded him for failing to search for a newly ascended Ancient God.
• Night Silence Ancient God explained that the target had survived his Nirvana Divine Light and might grow strong enough to kill him.
• Hu Niu refused to spend favors searching until Night Silence Ancient God offered him one of two shares of Plane Source Energy from two dying planes.
• After checking that the Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God guarding the planes had no powerful faction behind him, Hu Niu agreed to help Night Silence Ancient God seize the energy.

Night Silence Ancient God brought Ancient God Hu Niu to two dying planes, secretly planning to betray his friend and claim both portions of Plane Source Energy. They hid nearby as Ominous Miasma began seeping into the planes, leaving them to wait for the planes to collapse.

• Night Silence Ancient God concealed the Three-Wheel Realm guardian from Ancient God Hu Niu and planned to let the two guardians restrain each other so he could take both portions of Plane Source Energy.
• Ancient God Hu Niu contacted more than twenty Undying Ancient Gods to search for Li Yun, then shared wine with Night Silence Ancient God.
• Night Silence Ancient God and Ancient God Hu Niu traveled nearly eight million years to the dying planes and confirmed that a Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God guarded them.
• The two Ancient Gods disguised themselves as Stars and hid nearby until the planes' barriers cracked ten million years later.
• Ominous Miasma seeped into both planes, and Night Silence Ancient God privately resolved to claim all the Plane Source Energy for himself.

Night Silence Ancient God betrayed Ancient God Hu Niu and ambushed a weakened Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God to seize the Plane Source Energy. He learned his victim belonged to the Three Saints Palace and attacked again, but the ancient Stars brought out a Purple-Gold Shield.

• Ancient God Hu Niu volunteered to lure a newly arrived Three-Wheel Realm Ancient God away from the two planes, and Night Silence Ancient God agreed to join him later.
• Ancient God Hu Niu drew the Three-Wheel Realm Ancient God into pursuit, while Night Silence Ancient God waited before approaching the silent planes alone.
• Night Silence Ancient God attacked the weakened Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God, shattered both of his Undying Heavenly Wheels, and heard him threaten retaliation from the Three Saints Palace.
• Night Silence Ancient God realized he had provoked the Three Saints Palace and launched another blast of Nirvana Divine Light, but the Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God raised an ancient Purple-Gold Shield.

Li Yun completed his second Undying Heavenly Wheel after absorbing Ominous Miasma for eighty million years, then discovered that reaching the Three-Wheel Realm would take far longer. As he set out to ask Leng Yue where to find denser Ominous Miasma, he encountered a fleeing Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God and the pursuing Night Silence Ancient God.

• The Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God reflected Night Silence Ancient God's Nirvana Divine Light with the Purple-Gold Shield, wounded him, seized the Plane Source Energy, and escaped.
• Night Silence Ancient God chased after the Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God, but his wound slowed him while his quarry pulled farther ahead.
• Li Yun emerged from his cultivation with two Undying Heavenly Wheels after eighty million years of absorbing Ominous Miasma.
• Li Yun realized that reaching the Three-Wheel Realm would take six hundred million years and decided to return to the Ancient Mirror Plane to ask Leng Yue about denser Ominous Miasma.
• A fleeing Two-Wheel Realm Ancient God hid in the Ominous Miasma, and Li Yun recognized the pursuer who arrived nearby as Night Silence Ancient God.

Li Yun encountered the Night Silence Ancient God while hiding in Ominous Miasma, then agreed to help the badly wounded Lian Zixing escape in exchange for Plane Source Energy. They headed toward the Ancient Mirror Plane, leaving the Night Silence Ancient God to find the area empty when he returned.

• Li Yun recognized the Night Silence Ancient God, suppressed his urge to attack, and watched him search for the wounded Lian Zixing before leaving.
• Lian Zixing approached Li Yun and asked for help escaping the Night Silence Ancient God's pursuit, explaining his rift with people in the Three Saints Palace.
• Lian Zixing offered Li Yun one portion of Plane Source Energy, and Li Yun agreed to help him.
• Li Yun took Lian Zixing out of the Ominous Miasma and headed at top speed toward the Ancient Mirror Plane.
• The Night Silence Ancient God returned within three months, found no one in the Ominous Miasma, and became furious.

Li Yun returned to the Ancient Mirror Plane with the wounded Lian Zixing and received Plane Source Energy for helping him escape. Leng Yue warned Li Yun that Lian Zixing’s scandal had entangled him in the Three Saints Palace’s dangerous internal strife.

• The Night Silence Ancient God received Hu Niu’s furious accusation, realized he had gained nothing and possibly angered the Three Saints Palace, and decided to flee.
• Li Yun arrived at the Ancient Mirror Plane with the badly wounded Lian Zixing, and Leng Yue was shocked to learn Li Yun had reached the Two-Wheel Realm.
• Lian Zixing introduced himself as a member of the Three Saints Palace, and Leng Yue allowed him to recover in her domain on the condition that he leave as soon as possible.
• Lian Zixing gave Li Yun a large mass of Plane Source Energy as promised, then left to treat his injuries.
• Li Yun told Leng Yue how he had helped Lian Zixing, and Leng Yue explained that the Three Saints Palace was a mighty Origin Plane power with Ninth-Wheel Realm Ancient Gods.
• Leng Yue revealed that Lian Zixing had fled after being caught with the Dao Companion of another Ninth-Wheel Realm powerhouse’s son, warning Li Yun that he had made a dangerous enemy.

Li Yun learned that Calamity could lie dormant in the Boundary Sea’s Ominous Miasma, but he remained eager to seek it out and build resistance with his Life-and-Death Millstone. After Leng Yue gave him several locations, Li Yun consumed the Plane Source Energy and reached the peak of the Two-Wheel Realm.

• Li Yun thanked Leng Yue for warning him about the Three Saints Palace and asked where the Ominous Miasma was thickest.
• Li Yun told Leng Yue that he used Ominous Miasma to cultivate, and she warned that hidden Calamity could destroy his Undying Heavenly Wheels.
• Li Yun reasoned that he might use traces of diluted Calamity to build resistance and pressed Leng Yue for locations where the Ominous Miasma was dense.
• Leng Yue gave Li Yun coordinates after he promised to avoid any Calamity he detected.
• Li Yun stayed on the Ancient Mirror Plane and devoured Plane Source Energy with his Life-and-Death Millstone, reaching the peak of the Two-Wheel Realm without condensing a third Undying Heavenly Wheel.

Li Yun left the Ancient Mirror Plane after refining its Plane Source Energy and set out to find more Ominous Miasma to cultivate. In the Origin Plane, Yun Mo ordered Red Sand to hunt down Lian Zixing and kill the Rogue Cultivator who had saved him.

• Li Yun said farewell to Leng Yue after spending nearly a million years refining the Plane Source Energy, then headed toward places with dense Ominous Miasma to pursue his third Undying Heavenly Wheel.
• Yun Mo received news that Lian Zixing had resurfaced and ordered Red Sand to find Night Silence Ancient God, who had hunted Lian Zixing for over twenty million years.
• Red Sand hesitated because killing Lian Zixing could provoke his Nine-Wheel Realm father and endanger the Three Saints Palace.
• Yun Mo told Red Sand that his father was nearing the Eternal Saint Wheel realm, persuading him that the Nine-Wheel Realm father could no longer threaten them.
• Yun Mo revealed that a Rogue Cultivator had saved Lian Zixing and taken him to the Ancient Mirror Plane, then ordered Red Sand to kill the Rogue Cultivator first.

Li Yun found a dense field of Ominous Miasma near the decaying Whirling Radiance Plane and spent six million years refining it. When a grim-faced Ancient God drove him away, the man later tried to pursue him, but a golden-robed elder stopped him; the grim-faced man’s hidden murderous intent unknowingly made an enemy of Li Yun.

• Li Yun reached the Ominous Miasma surrounding the decaying Whirling Radiance Plane and chose to cultivate outside it rather than risk entering the plane.
• Li Yun spent six million years absorbing and refining Ominous Miasma, strengthening his Life-and-Death Power.
• A grim-faced Three-Wheel Realm Ancient God emerged from the plane and ordered Li Yun to leave, so Li Yun quickly retreated.
• After receiving a message, the grim-faced man called for Li Yun to stop and chased him, but Li Yun escaped beyond the Ominous Miasma.
• A golden-robed old man stopped the grim-faced man and warned him against using the Twelve Gu Sha Heaven-Refining Formation to forge an Undying Heavenly Wheel.
• The grim-faced man pretended to heed the warning while privately dismissing it, unaware that his murderous intentions toward Li Yun had made him a dangerous enemy.

Li Yun resumed his cultivation, reached the peak of the Life-and-Death Millstone, and annihilated himself. Meanwhile, the Red Sand Ancient God failed to find the Night Silence Ancient God or kill Lian Zixing, so he headed for the Ancient Mirror Plane to hunt down the Rogue Cultivator who had saved Lian Zixing.

• Li Yun reached a new refuge, cultivated for two million years, and annihilated himself after the Life-and-Death Millstone peaked.
• The Red Sand Ancient God confirmed that Lian Zixing was recovering in the Ancient Mirror Plane, then searched for the Night Silence Ancient God to make him take the blame.
• The Night Silence Ancient God fled toward the fringes of the Dreadbound Sea of Realms to escape the Three Saints Palace.
• After twenty million years of fruitless searching, the Red Sand Ancient God learned that Lian Zixing had been taken away by his father's subordinates.
• The Second Young Venerable, Yun Mo, repeatedly berated the Red Sand Ancient God, who blamed the Rogue Cultivator for his failure.
• The Red Sand Ancient God abandoned his search for the Night Silence Ancient God and went to the Ancient Mirror Plane to find Leng Yue and track down the Rogue Cultivator.

Leng Yue Ancient God fled the Ancient Mirror Plane after Red Sand Ancient God came searching for her, then found Li Yun cultivating in the Ominous Miasma and left to draw danger away from him. Three hundred million years later, Li Yun had become a Three-Wheel Realm Ancient God and, after waiting for Leng Yue Ancient God without seeing her return, left the Ominous Miasma to look for her.

• Leng Yue Ancient God used the Fortune-Steeling Stele's warning to flee the Ancient Mirror Plane before Red Sand Ancient God arrived looking for her.
• Leng Yue Ancient God realized Red Sand Ancient God's hostility stemmed from her sheltering Lian Zixing, then left to find Li Yun and demand compensation for the trouble.
• Leng Yue Ancient God found Li Yun's body annihilated beneath the Supreme Immortal Gate and saw his vitality strengthening in the Ominous Miasma.
• Leng Yue Ancient God left to draw Red Sand Ancient God's attention away and told Li Yun to wait for her in the River Valley Immortal Domain Plane if he succeeded in advancing.
• After three hundred million years, Li Yun formed his third Undying Heavenly Wheel and waited for Leng Yue Ancient God, who still had not returned after another three million years.
• Li Yun finally left the Ominous Miasma to find Leng Yue Ancient God.

Li Yun learned that Red Sand Ancient God had hunted Leng Yue for sheltering Lian Zixing, then traveled to the River Valley Immortal Domain to find the hidden Vast Cold City she had named. As he prepared to enter the city, he sensed a terrifying ripple that might be Calamity.

• Li Yun learned that Leng Yue had been hunted by Red Sand Ancient God and realized she had not exposed him despite the danger.
• After confirming Leng Yue had not been caught, Li Yun traveled secretly to the River Valley Immortal Domain over eight million years.
• Li Yun searched the tiny plane for Vast Cold City, but its cultivators had never heard of it.
• Li Yun discovered that Leng Yue had hidden Vast Cold City as a speck of dust drifting through a small world.
• As Li Yun prepared to enter the hidden city, a strange ripple emerged that felt like Ominous Miasma but seemed even more terrifying, and he wondered if it was Calamity.

Li Yun discovered that Vast Cold City contained Calamity and suspected Leng Yue had made it a prison for her friend, so he waited outside rather than enter. After cultivating there for a million years, he found its Ominous Miasma made his cultivation ten times more efficient and chose to keep absorbing it cautiously.

• Li Yun sensed Calamity inside Vast Cold City, found Leng Yue absent, and concluded the silent city might be a prison rather than her escape route.
• Li Yun suspected the city was connected to Leng Yue's friend, an Ancient God of the Six-Wheel Realm who had died after being tainted by Calamity, but could not explain why she had sent him there.
• Li Yun concealed himself in a world's shadow and cultivated by drawing Ominous Miasma from Vast Cold City while waiting for Leng Yue.
• After a million years, Li Yun discovered that the city's high-grade Ominous Miasma had made his cultivation nearly ten times as efficient as elsewhere.
• Li Yun considered entering Vast Cold City to improve his efficiency further, but remembered the Calamity inside and continued cultivating outside.
