Chapter Summaries

Zhang Qingyuan learned that the Wild Heaven Realm was part of the legendary Five Elements Realm, then heard Golden Extremity Sect’s account of how the Five Elements Realm became the source of the Abyssal Demon calamity. The chapter ended with the revelation that the sealed demons had escaped after someone opened the realm’s seal about a hundred years earlier.

• Zhang Qingyuan reflected on the history of Huangtian Cult and learned that the Wild Heaven Realm was part of the Ancient Five Elements Realm.
• Zhang Qingyuan wondered about the Five Elements Tokens and considered seeking the Gold Element Token from Golden Extremity Sect.
• Envoys from Golden Extremity Sect and North Cold Palace arrived to congratulate Dao Venerable Qing Xuan and invite Cloud Water Sect’s experts to discuss the Abyssal Demon source.

Golden Saint Dao Venerable led Dao Venerable Danyang, Dao Venerable Xuan Su, and Zhang Qingyuan to the Black Abyss Forbidden Area, claiming Huangtian Cult remnants had caused the Mo Calamity. After the others left to investigate, Golden Saint secretly met the Huangtian Cult Leader and learned their plan to sacrifice four Myriad Transformations Realm cultivators; the Cult Leader also vowed to kill Zhang Qingyuan himself.

Zhang Qingyuan and the Cloud Water Sect elders discovered that Huangtian Cult remnants had built a vast formation to bypass the Black Abyss Forbidden Area’s calamity aura and release Abyssal Demons. Their investigation suggested Huangtian Cult Master Ning Bufu had survived a battle a thousand years earlier, and the chapter ended with Old Ancestor Dan Yang rejecting Golden Saint Dao Venerable’s plan to destroy the formation.

• Dao Venerable Xuan Su subdued the Huangtian Cult outpost, and Old Ancestor Dan Yang searched several captives’ minds, confirming the remnants were behind the Mo Calamity in Yuzhou.

• Old Ancestor Dan Yang distrusted Golden Saint Dao Venerable and objected to dividing their forces, fearing that Golden Saint and Dao Venerable Bei Ming might join forces against an isolated cultivator.

• Bei Ming activated his Heavenly Heart Dao Seal and unleashed Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles, slowing everything within its icy radiance as Xuan Su prepared to meet the attack.

Zhang Qingyuan traveled toward the human-grade formation node, considering the Five Elements tokens and the strength he could bring to bear. Ning Bufu intercepted him and revealed that he had come from Central Continent.
