Chapter Summaries

Xu Yi negotiated with Kong Shao and You Xian over two valuable spots, prompting them to seek the Black Lotus Cult’s resources. The chapter left Xu Yi considering their offer of talismans and hearing Senior Brother Qin’s support for choosing the two elders.

• Xu Yi let Kong Shao and You Xian struggle to name a price, then suggested they seek resources from the Black Lotus Cult.
• Kong Shao contacted the cult chief, who urged him to secure both spots after learning that Purple Firmament Lightning Strike Bamboo had appeared in the Savage Wilderness Realm.
• Kong Shao promised the cult repayment and half of any gains, and the chief offered one exotic talisman and two second-grade Mystical Talismans.
• Kong Shao and You Xian offered two additional second-grade Mystical Talismans each, for six second-grade talismans and one exotic talisman in total.
• Xu Yi asked Senior Brother Qin for his opinion, and Qin endorsed choosing Kong Shao and You Xian, saying they would protect Xu Yi.

Xu Yi finalized the expedition arrangements and arrived at the meeting place with his allies, where Ming Erde challenged the safety of the Three-Party Balance plan. Xu Yi stood his ground, and the group began securing the tokens and shuttle before departure.

• Senior Brother returned with the talismans promised by the presiding elder, and Xu Yi arranged the expedition with Kong Shao and You Xian.
• Xu Yi examined the Circle-in Talisman in his cave abode before setting out on the appointed day.
• Xu Yi and Ming Sihuo waited at Greeting Guest Cliff until Han Zhongjun arrived with five Divine Embryo Realm cultivators.
• Ming Erde questioned how the three parties would return if one group fell in the Savage Wilderness Realm, but Xu Yi refused to guarantee their safety and invited anyone who feared the risk to withdraw.
• Kong Shao and Xi Mengfan rebuked Ming Erde for undermining the expedition, and Ming Sihuo sealed the Sun Radiance Token in a Myriad Mechanism Jade Lock Box.
• Xu Yi accepted the box but withheld the Sun Radiance Token from Han Zhongjun until they boarded, prompting Han Zhongjun to curse his cunning.

Xu Yi and the Ming family’s group were thrown from the Sun Moon Shuttle into the Savage Wilderness Realm after Han Zhongjun apparently abandoned them. With the shuttle gone and the Sun Radiance Token still in Xu Yi’s hands, the two groups argued over responsibility before agreeing to search for Han together.

• Han Zhongjun activated the Sun Moon Shuttle with Xu Yi’s Sun Radiance Token, and the shuttle carried the eighteen passengers through a field of white light.
• The shuttle flung Xu Yi and the twelve members of his and Ming Sihuo’s groups into the Savage Wilderness Realm, while the people from Biyou Academy remained aboard.
• Ming Sihuo used the Heaven’s Heart Disk to identify their location, and an old man from his group said he had seen the shuttle eject them deliberately.
• Ming Erde demanded that Xu Yi return the Sun Radiance Token, but Ming Sihuo stopped him from attacking.
• Xu Yi refused to surrender the token and proposed that both groups search for Han Zhongjun together.

Xu Yi’s group was attacked by demon beasts after Dragon King Whale Heart Blood was used to lure them, and Elder Wu explained the dangers of the Savage Wilderness Realm. As they fled, a massive beast wounded one of the Ming family’s Divine Embryo experts, who began healing with a golden egg’s power.

• Ming Sihuo asked Xu Yi to coordinate their actions as their group maintained a loose alliance.
• Elder Ma recognized Dragon King Whale Heart Blood as bait, and Xu Yi led everyone down toward the sea as demon beasts surged toward them.
• Ming Erde and the other experts shattered walls of water closing in from four directions, but their search through the wreckage found no beast cores.
• Elder Wu explained the difference between demon beasts and demons and warned the group about the strength of higher-level beasts.
• Xu Yi spotted an ambush and warned the group, but a massive beast struck a Ming family Divine Embryo expert and tore away half his body.
• Ming Sihuo gave the wounded expert pills, and a golden egg emerged from his chest and began healing the injury.

Xu Yi warned the group that the flying beast and the blood mist above the clouds signaled a larger danger, but Ming Erde dismissed him. Xu Yi led the others east in a Five Elements Plum Blossom Array as huge creatures began raining down from the sky.

• The beast attacked again, and the experts dodged and struck back before descending below the clouds.
• Xi Mengfan questioned Xu Yi’s silence and offered to back him, but Xu Yi insisted the group needed unity rather than a contest for leadership.
• Ming Erde urged everyone to find somewhere to land, but Xu Yi warned them not to move because he sensed blood and danger above the clouds.
• Xi Mengfan, Elder Wu, Elder Ma, Kong Shao, and You Xian formed a Five Elements Plum Blossom Array around Xu Yi and followed his call to head east.
• Ming Erde and his followers pursued them as enormous creatures began crashing down from the sky.

Xu Yi’s group stayed safe behind their formation while the Ming family battled the Purple-Bearded Golden-Scaled Flying Fish Lions. After Ming Erde used a Mystical Talisman to destroy nine beasts, the Ming brothers discovered that Xu Yi’s team had killed three more and demanded their Demon Cores.

• Twelve Purple-Bearded Golden-Scaled Flying Fish Lions attacked both groups, but Xu Yi’s formation held while the beasts overwhelmed the Ming family.
• The Flying Fish Lions focused on Ming Erde and a red-faced old man, and one tore off Ming Erde’s left hand.
• Xu Yi told Ming Erde to use his own Mystical Talisman, and Ming Erde unleashed its domain to obliterate nine Flying Fish Lions.
• While the Ming family escaped the domain, Xu Yi and his companions restrained and killed the other three Flying Fish Lions, taking their Demon Cores.
• Ming Erde charged at Xu Yi and demanded the spoils, while Xi Mengfan blocked him and Ming Sihuo challenged Xu Yi over the Demon Cores.

After Xu Yi reunited the teams and took charge of their escape, a hidden attacker triggered a Weeping Blood Storm that scattered everyone. Xu Yi was then surrounded by a group seeking him specifically, and he realized Han Zhongjun was connected to the pursuit.

• Ming Wuxing apologized to Xu Yi and the others, then agreed to let Xu Yi coordinate both teams.
• Xu Yi ordered the teams east, but a hidden voice targeted him and dropped blood-red jade tablets that unleashed a Weeping Blood Storm.
• Elders Ma and Wu, Ming Erde, Ming Sihuo, and the others fled; Xu Yi used a Teleportation Talisman and discovered he could not contact Elder Xi.
• Xu Yi manifested the Soaring Ape Form and fled, but more than a dozen Divine Embryo-level cultivators caught up and surrounded him.
• Xu Yi guessed that Han Zhongjun was behind the pursuit and asked to speak with him.

Xu Yi escaped a deadly siege after Han Zhongjun and Young Master Xian turned his capture into a wager, but he realized his pursuers had marked him and feared another attack. Han Zhongjun spotted a tracking signal moving after Xu Yi, leaving his escape in jeopardy.

• Han Zhongjun showed Young Master Xian a scene of his earlier meeting with Xu Yi, then offered Xu Yi safety and a chance to audit classes at Biyou Academy in exchange for the Sun Radiance Token.
• Xu Yi demanded that the pursuers withdraw except for two Transcendent Realm cultivators before he handed over the token, warning that he could destroy it.
• Young Master Xian made Han Zhongjun wager three spots to return to the Western Continent World on whether the purple-robed young man’s group could capture Xu Yi within one incense stick.
• Xu Yi used thirty Jade Tablets to blast through the siege, killing the Transcendent Fourth Realm pursuers and wounding the three Divine Embryo powerhouses before escaping.
• Xu Yi suspected the pursuers had marked him, while Han Zhongjun spotted a red dot racing across a jade disk and realized they could track Xu Yi.

After escaping a pursuit into the sea, Xu Yi used his Water-Flowing Monkey Form to evade repeated attacks from the Space Shuttle. Cornered by demonic beasts drawn by Blood Tokens, he disappeared through the Four-Colored Seal, and his pursuers’ shuttle was struck by a huge black tail.

• Xu Yi fled a thousand li with a Teleportation Talisman, took the Water-Flowing Monkey Form, and dove into the sea to escape his pursuers.
• Young Master Xian ordered the Space Shuttle to pursue Xu Yi underwater after Han Zhongjun remarked that Xu Yi was moving too quickly to catch.
• Xu Yi repeatedly dodged the Space Shuttle’s attacks, prompting Young Master Xian to order Blood Tokens scattered to drive him from hiding.
• As demonic beasts closed in, Xu Yi reached the seabed and escaped through the Four-Colored Seal just before a giant beast swallowed it.
• When Xu Yi’s mark vanished from the Tracking Jade Plate, Young Master Xian ordered a search, but a streak of black light struck the Space Shuttle and a massive tail swept it into the air.

Xu Yi identified and removed the tracker on his body, then emerged from the Purple Domain Space inside a Second-grade Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark. He subdued the beast long enough to escape its stomach, but the powerful sea tyrant remained before him.

• Young Master Xian ordered his search party to find Xu Yi after the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark appeared.
• Xu Yi broke down and restored his belongings, isolated the faint energy tracker, and placed a piece of his flesh carrying it in a mechanical box.
• The tracker’s signal revealed Xu Yi’s location, prompting Young Master Xian and Han Zhongjun’s party to resume the pursuit.
• Xu Yi emerged into the stomach of a giant creature, recognized it as a Second-grade Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark, and threatened it until it stopped trying to expel him.
• Xu Yi sent beads into the shark’s gastric juices and escaped from its mouth, dodging its attack and warning it not to provoke him again.

Xu Yi used the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark to reach an island and set a trap for his pursuers. When Young Master Xian’s team found what they thought was Xu Yi’s hiding place, Xu Yi struck from concealment and trapped them with Mystical Talismans.

• Xu Yi controlled the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark with Origin Seal Beads and rode it to a nearby island.
• Xu Yi warned the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark not to flee, then ordered it to wait offshore.
• The white-robed elder, the purple-robed young man, and the Black-clothed middle-aged man tracked Xu Yi to the island while Young Master Xian watched through a projected image.
• The three pursuers found a tiny cave and attacked it, believing Xu Yi was hiding inside.
• Xu Yi sprang from a nearby tree and activated trapping talismans, immobilizing the three men with two second-grade Mystical Talismans.

Xu Yi trapped three enemies with Mystical Talismans, but Young Master Xian unleashed a devastating sword that Xu Yi survived by hiding inside the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark. Afterward, Xu Yi gathered the spoils and sent the badly injured white-clothed old man through a gate of light.

• Xu Yi trapped the three men within a Circle-in Talisman and attacked them with two second-grade Mystical Talismans.
• Young Master Xian summoned a tiny sword, while the three men joined their Divine Embryos to shield themselves from the metal storm and fire dragon.
• Xu Yi fled toward the coast and summoned the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark as Young Master Xian's sword grew and pursued him.
• Xu Yi escaped the sword's strike inside the shark's mouth, but the shark suffered grave injuries and Xu Yi treated it with spirit liquid and healing pills.
• Xu Yi returned to the island, found the purple-robed youth and the Black-clothed middle-aged man reduced to ash, and collected the scattered resources.
• Xu Yi found the white-clothed old man barely alive, recharged the Four-Colored Seal, and sent him through a gate of light.

Xu Yi escaped with the Four-Colored Seal and forced the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark to carry him to an island, where he bound the wounded white-robed elder after retrieving him from the Purple Domain Space. He challenged the elder’s despair by suggesting Young Master Xian had treated him as a disposable henchman, leaving the elder’s fate unresolved.

• Young Master Xian and Han Zhongjun arrived on the island after Xu Yi escaped, and Young Master Xian found that his Tracking Jade Plate could no longer locate him.
• Xu Yi caught up with the Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark, scolded him for fleeing, and made him carry Xu Yi across the sea in exchange for the promise of more spiritual liquid.
• The Black-striped Flood Dragon Shark brought Xu Yi to another island, where Xu Yi carved out a concealed stone chamber.
• Xu Yi released the charred white-robed elder from the Four-Colored Seal and bound him with Dragon Binding Ropes as soon as he put on a robe.
• The white-robed elder questioned Xu Yi about the Purple Domain Space, but Xu Yi told him that Young Master Xian saw him only as a tool and might want him dead.

Xu Yi used Old Jiang’s loyalty to expose Young Master Xian’s willingness to abandon him and demanded two Mystical Talismans in exchange for his release. The chapter ended with Old Jiang despairing as he waited to learn whether Young Master Xian would pay.

• After Young Master Xian’s divine sword targeted Xu Yi instead of saving the three retainers, Xu Yi captured Old Jiang while two others died.
• Xu Yi used a jade token to contact Young Master Xian and Han Zhongjun, then presented Old Jiang as a loyal servant he was willing to release for a price.

Xu Yi and Jiang Sihai set aside their feud to work together against Gong Xian after Gong Xian ordered Jiang Sihai’s family slaughtered. After Jiang Sihai swore a Heart Oath and held a memorial rite, he began answering Xu Yi’s questions and asked about Xu Yi’s Purple Domain Space and the Netherworld Luo Butterfly Kiss.

• Jiang Sihai asked Xu Yi about the Purple Domain Space and the Netherworld Luo Butterfly Kiss, and Xu Yi reacted with surprise at the name.

Jiang Sihai explained how the Savage Wilderness Realm came under the influence of Western and Eastern Continent powers and revealed that its dangerous lands were also home to vast human populations. Xu Yi learned that the natives cultivated with demonic beast cores, but excessive use caused them to mutate, and the chapter left their situation and the realm’s forces still largely unexplored.

• Jiang Sihai explained that natives cultivated using demonic beast cores, which contained wish power but also harmful demonic essence.
• Jiang Sihai said that natives who refined too many beast cores mutated into half-human, half-demonic beings and could never reach the Divine Embryo Realm.

Jiang Sihai explained the Savage Wilderness Realm’s cultivation limits, its natives, and the Beast Mansions to Xu Yi. After guarding Jiang Sihai through the night, Xu Yi gave him a Sumeru Ring as he recovered.

• Jiang Sihai told Xu Yi that natives who consumed beast cores could reach the True Return Realm, but impurities caused torment, and leaving the Savage Wilderness would eventually kill them.
• Jiang Sihai explained that powerful Beast Mansions controlled territory, Gong Xian belonged to the influential Gong family, and Western Continent cultivators could refine beast cores to use their purer wish power.
• Xu Yi ended their hours-long conversation and sent the exhausted, injured Jiang Sihai to rest in the stone chamber, giving him healing pills while keeping his other resources.
• Before dawn, Xu Yi left the island aboard Old Sha, entered the Purple Domain Space to search Jiang Sihai’s belongings, then returned to the island and resumed his watch.
• At sunrise, Jiang Sihai came out of the stone chamber looking healthier, and Xu Yi gave him a Sumeru Ring.

• Jiang Sihai explained how Gong Xian's Tianli Casino had become a powerful enterprise and warned Xu Yi that attacking it would bring the whole city down on them.
