Chapter Summaries

The master of Vajra Peak led the Golden Sun Sect to destroy the Blood God Sect's stronghold in Tuobi Country, then attacked the Soul Extinguishing Sect's mountain gate. After the Soul Extinguishing Sect's powerful defensive formation withstood repeated blasts from the Sword of Judgment, the master of Vajra Peak decided to destroy it personally.

• The master of Vajra Peak led his group to the Blood God Sect's stronghold in Tuobi Country, where two blasts from the Sword of Judgment killed the stationed Golden Core Cultivator and the other defenders.
• The master of Vajra Peak piloted the Sword of Judgment toward the Soul Extinguishing Sect, which had learned of the attack and activated its mountain-gate defensive formation.

• The Sword of Judgment fired several more powerful rays, and the Soul Extinguishing Sect's extraordinary formation resisted them all while its defenders hoped for reinforcements from the Blood God Sect.
• The master of Vajra Peak stopped the bombardment, flew above the formation, and decided to destroy it himself.

The Vajra Peak Master’s force destroyed the Soul Extinguishing Sect and seized several countries in the Blood God Sect’s territory as part of a joint invasion by the Golden Sun Sect and Purple Cloud Sect.

• The Blood God Sect Master reported the invasion to True Person Xue He, who angrily scolded him before acknowledging the Purple Cloud Sect’s unexpectedly bold move.

True Person Xue He ordered the Blood God Sect to counterattack the Golden Sun Sect and Purple Cloud Sect, and the conflict settled into a territorial stalemate. Five years later, Bi Changsheng was still cultivating in seclusion on Purple Bamboo Peak, feeling he had not yet reached his goal.

• True Person Xue He decided to retaliate against the Golden Sun Sect and Purple Cloud Sect while preserving strength for another matter, then ordered the Blood God Sect to mobilize its available forces.

• Over the next five years, the war continued with casualties mostly among lower-level cultivators, while disciples including Li Xinghuo and Xie Yuxuan gained experience.
• Li Xinghuo reached the Golden Core Realm and became the Golden Sun Sect's ninth True Disciple, while Bi Changsheng continued cultivating in seclusion on Purple Bamboo Peak.

After five years of secluded cultivation, Bi Changsheng reached the peak of the late stage of Golden Core and perfected the Thunderous and Five Elements Momentum. He began studying higher powers to strengthen his Natal Spirit Realm, but found the Space Artistic Conception extremely difficult to comprehend.

• Bi Changsheng reflected that comprehending the Space Artistic Conception would take time and that he would need his Divine Soul to recover before using the Dao Seeking Art again.

Bi Changsheng left seclusion to find Purple Bamboo Peak transformed, where the Ginseng Doll had reached the Golden Core Realm and Little Black neared it. He then met True Person Yu Yang, who asked about his progress and prepared to explain a minor task, leaving Bi Changsheng to decide whether to accept it.

• Bi Changsheng saw that the Purple Thunder Bamboo forest had grown more prosperous and increased the spiritual energy on Purple Bamboo Peak.
• The Ginseng Doll greeted Bi Changsheng and revealed that it had reached the Golden Core Realm, while Little Black had reached the False Core Realm and was approaching a breakthrough.

After five years of stalemate, the Golden Sun Sect, Purple Cloud Sect, and Blood God Sect left the war’s outcome to their younger cultivators. Xue Li’s overwhelming victories threatened the allied sects, so Bi Changsheng agreed to challenge him, confident in his strength after five years of secluded cultivation.

• The veteran powerhouses withdrew from the battlefield, and the three sects sent their younger cultivators to decide the war’s direction.
• Xue Li defeated the younger generation’s challengers, including Gao Taichu, and pushed the front line toward the Golden Sun Sect and Purple Cloud Sect.
• True Person Yu Yang told Bi Changsheng that Xue Li had reached the peak of the Late Stage of Golden Core and mastered perfect Heaven and Earth Momentum.
• True Person Yu Yang asked Bi Changsheng whether he would fight Xue Li, while making clear that Bi Changsheng’s safety mattered more than the war’s outcome.
• Bi Changsheng agreed to represent the Golden Sun Sect and defeat Xue Li, believing his strength and escape options would protect him even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator intervened.

Bi Changsheng agreed to help the Golden Sun Sect by confronting Xue Li and set out for the front line, while True Person Yu Yang secretly arranged to protect him.

As the Blood God Sect pressed its advantage, the Golden Sun Sect disciples realized Bi Changsheng was unlikely to join the war. Fan Yuanzheng was about to be killed by a blood beast when a powerful aura and a familiar voice arrived, interrupting the battlefield.

• The Golden Sun Sect disciples stopped expecting Bi Changsheng to appear, while both sides argued over his strength and whether he could defeat Xue Li.
• The Blood God Sect intensified its attacks, killing more Golden Sun Sect disciples and surrounding Fan Yuanzheng.
• A late-stage Foundation Establishment Blood God Sect cultivator sent a ferocious blood beast at Fan Yuanzheng, whose lightning-fire spell failed to stop it.
• As the blood beast was about to bite Fan Yuanzheng, a familiar voice condemned the attack and a powerful aura halted the fighters and their attacks.

Bi Changsheng rescued Fan Yuanzheng and the remaining Golden Sun Sect disciples from a deadly clash with Blood God Sect cultivators, then continued toward the front lines to confront Xue Li. Meanwhile, the Purple Cloud Sect’s top direct disciple challenged Xue Li, drawing young cultivators and senior experts from all three sects toward the battlefield.

• Bi Changsheng left for the front lines as the Purple Cloud Sect’s top direct disciple challenged Xue Li and cultivators from all three sects gathered for the confrontation.

After leaving Fan Yuanzheng and the surviving Golden Sun Sect disciples, Bi Changsheng hurried toward the Southern Forest Kingdom, where Zhong Wenyao and Xue Li were set to fight. Their challenge began as the gathered cultivators watched, with the Blood God Sect’s disciples loudly backing Xue Li.

• The Golden Sun Sect and Purple Cloud Sect disciples feared Xue Li’s strength and looked to Zhong Wenyao to stop him, since Bi Changsheng did not take the field.
• Xue Li declared that Zhong Wenyao was no match for him, while Zhong Wenyao said they would find out by fighting.
• The two recalled their history as rivals: Xue Li had narrowly defeated Zhong Wenyao in their first battle, and Bi Changsheng’s rise had later surpassed them both.

• Xue Li released his peak Late Stage of Golden Core cultivation and perfected ten-layer Metal Momentum, took out a blood bead, and began forming seals to counter Zhong Wenyao’s attack.

Xue Li used the Blood Spirit Golden Silk to gain the upper hand in his fierce battle with Zhong Wenyao, whose Thunderous Momentum fell just short of perfection. The Golden Sun Sect and Purple Cloud Sect grew worried as their observers recognized Zhong Wenyao was being pushed back, while the Blood God Sect celebrated Xue Li’s advantage.

• Xue Li formed razor-sharp metallic blood strands that shredded Zhong Wenyao’s thunder attacks, but Zhong dodged and drove the strands back with stronger bolts of thunder.

• Golden Sun Sect disciples wished Bi Changsheng were present to defeat Xue Li, while their camp and the Purple Cloud Sect’s older experts grew solemn as Zhong fell behind.

Zhong Wenyao unleashed both Thunderous Momentum and Wind Momentum in a desperate attempt to defeat Xue Li, but his unstable thunderstorm was cleaved apart. Seriously injured, Zhong Wenyao admitted defeat, leaving the Golden Sun Sect and Purple Cloud Sect forces in despair.

• True Person Yu Yang asked True Person Yun Chang about Zhong Wenyao’s looming defeat, and True Person Yun Chang said he had expected it and trusted Yu Yang’s arrangements.

Bi Changsheng revealed his profound Golden Core cultivation and used the Nine Tribulations Thunder Pearl to summon a Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation Cloud whose power rivaled the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. As Xue Li sensed the gap between them, Bi Changsheng sent the first bolt of tribulation lightning toward him.

• Bi Changsheng unleashed his peak Late Stage of Golden Core cultivation, and the onlookers realized his magic power was far more profound than Xue Li's.
• Bi Changsheng brought out his third-rank high-grade Nine Tribulations Thunder Pearl and condensed a Tribulation Cloud that expanded to a radius of three thousand ninety-nine meters.

• Xue Li cleaved apart the first seven bolts of Bi Changsheng’s tribulation lightning, but his strength began to fail.
