Chapter Summaries

The narrator explored Origin Cave with True Person Jinding and learned how ancient texts uncovered after Earth’s Spiritual Qi revival had shaped modern cultivation. The narrator took the cave’s immovable stone stele, which held the unique Dao Scripture Martial Scripture, and then asked about murals describing an ancient catastrophe.

• True Person Jinding explained that Origin Cave contained ancient Divine Pattern writing and that Origin Regions had brought Spiritual Qi and cultivation knowledge back to Earth.
• The narrator identified the stele’s title as Martial Scripture and discovered that its inscription was a unique Dao Scripture, while a digital copy counted only as a first-grade technique.
• The narrator used Fragmentation to free the stele from the mountain and stored it in Pot Heaven space, shocking True Person Jinding.
• The narrator asked True Person Jinding to explain the murals, which recorded that strange black smoke descended from the heavens in King Era Calendar, Year 270.

The chapter revealed that Earth’s ancient King created the Martial Scripture and the Star Lanes before leading survivors into space, while Earth’s present-day Immortal Qi came only from unsealed Origin Regions. True Person Jinding identified the cultivator who attacked Little Chen as Orochi-kun, a Sakura Country cultivator using a blood-draining evil technique.

• The murals described how the King invented Divine Patterns, created the Martial Scripture to suppress Contamination, and led survivors through the Void Thoroughfare into space.

• True Person Jinding revealed that Orochi-kun, president of the Kusanagi Society, had become a half-human, half-snake monster and used his teeth to drain cultivators’ blood.
• True Person Jinding said Orochi-kun likely targeted foreign cultivators with support from the Sakura Country government, while you judged his power insignificant against modern technology.

After being asked to eliminate Orochi-kun, you destroyed Sakura Country’s Origin Island and confronted the Kusanagi Society’s leader. Orochi-kun broke through to the Core Formation Realm and declared himself Earth’s strongest cultivator.

After destroying Sakura Country, Chen Yi returned to Earth and secluded himself in Origin Cave to study the Martial Scripture. His younger brother died, leaving Chen Yi wondering whether he would spend the rest of his long life on Earth.

• Chen Yi killed Orochi-kun, sank Sakura Country, and refused to meet with the Chinese authorities, asking True Person Jinding to lend him Origin Cave instead.

• Chen Yi spent his time studying in Origin Cave and enjoying city entertainment, while remaining unable to use Divine Patterns because of the term "What is a Divine Pattern?".
• Chen Siyi died at age 142, and Chen Yi quietly attended the funeral and left flowers without approaching his brother's family.
• Chen Yi returned to Origin Cave to study the Martial Scripture and Divine Abilities, wondering whether he would remain on Earth for the more than two thousand years he had left.

After twenty years on Earth, Chen Yi mastered the Martial Scripture and realized that quiet, uneventful living led to poor term draws. When a Formless monster appeared in Beautiful Country, he recognized it from a past simulation and suspected someone had brought it to Earth and would later take it to Vermilion Purple Star.

• Chen Yi reached Minor Accomplishment in the Martial Scripture and found that it was unifying his cultivation and other skills.
• Chen Yi concluded that living through hardship improved his chances of drawing high-quality terms, while a sheltered life produced mostly White Terms.

• True Person Jinding told Chen Yi that a monster was attacking Beautiful Country, and Chen Yi identified it as Formless after sensing its rapid adaptation to weapons.
• Chen Yi recalled that Formless later appeared on Vermilion Purple Star and concluded that someone had transported it to Earth and would eventually take it away.

The protagonist and the sentient treasures devised a plan to lure Formless to the moon using the Crossing Immortal Bridge, since Formless could not travel through space on its own. After reaching the battlefield, the protagonist drew Formless onto the extending bridge and raced toward the moon with it in pursuit.

You lured Formless from Earth to the Moon, where it crashed into the surface, then discovered two Birdman Race Immortal Lords had brought it to Earth as an experimental specimen. When Barton attacked you for interfering, you endured his strike and prepared to fight back.

• You led Formless across the Crossing Immortal Bridge to the Moon and withdrew the bridge, sending it crashing into the lunar surface.

• Horton went to retrieve Formless while Barton attacked you with a claw-shaped Spirit Treasure.
• You took Barton's attack without injury, judged that he was below the fourth stage of the Immortal Lord realm, and challenged him to use his laws.

Chen Yi defeated Barton, revealed his identity to Barton and Horton, and forced them to take Formless away for annihilation. The two bird-men sealed Formless in a top-grade Illusion Bottle and proposed throwing it into a black hole, though the seal would not last long.

• Chen Yi ordered them to use as little energy as possible while hopping between planets, then to travel farther once they had left the Solar System.
• Chen Yi supervised Barton and Horton as they searched for a black hole, and they combined their Law powers to detect black holes across several star clusters.
• In Year 148, Chen Yi and the two Birdmen found a black hole after two years of searching.
• Chen Yi chose Barton to take Formless toward the black hole, then told him to hand over his supplies and open any Pot Heaven space for inspection.

You forced Barton and Horton to help you send Formless into a black hole and guide you to the Star Lane leading to the Tianhe Star System. When you reached the Star Lane and turned to take Horton's belongings, Barton and Horton had vanished from the Star Boat.

• Barton ate the edible contents of Pot Heaven before handing over what he could not eat, then flew Formless toward the black hole.

• You made Horton and Barton take you to the Star Lane and warned them not to return to Earth for more Formless experiments.
• Horton used a Star-Seeking Ruler to find their route, and the group traveled for a year aboard the Voyager Star Boat, boosted by two Spirit Treasures.
• The Star Boat reconnected with the Star Lane, and you saw Earth on its Star Chart before deciding to take Horton's belongings.

• Horton escaped with Barton using the Star Boat’s acceleration treasures and left Chen Yi a long stream of insults.

• Chen Yi killed the two gate guards, entered the mine, and warned the garrison not to interfere with his hunt for Source Stones.
• Nacai Duo Kanjiji charged Chen Yi, who killed him with a Light Speed Fist and stunned the mine guards.
• Chen Yi used the Demon Refining Pot to collect Source Stones and transfer them into his Pot Heaven Space while the mine workers watched.

The narrator gained the mythic trait Illegal Fundraising, replaced several traits, and used the Voyager to travel toward Tiandou Star. After the first five-year settlement yielded only a few million Source Stones and worthless crystals, the story shifted to a wounded man declaring himself Tiandou’s Emperor as enemy forces closed in.
