Chen Changan and Hongchen investigated a mysterious surge of energy that vanished in the Burial Sword Abyss, then returned to find Mu Yunyao and the others holding off the Sword Guardian Clan. Chen Changan arrived as the battle was under control and prepared to finish it.

• Chen Changan sensed a sudden surge of energy in the Burial Sword Abyss, but he and Hongchen found no trace of it when they reached the spot.
• Hongchen speculated that the shattered Heaven and Earth Sword might have broken a seal and released something hidden, and Chen Changan decided to return to the others.

After helping Burial Sword Land recover, Chen Changan left with Mu Yunyao and Da Huang to cross the dangerous Karma Dao Chain toward the next continent. Inside its passage, an unknown energy entered Mu Yunyao and Da Huang and trapped them in an unresponsive state.

• Chen Changan told Mu Yunyao and Da Huang to stay close as he led them across the Karma Dao Chain, with Da Huang clinging to his leg.
• The three crossed the chain in less than the time it took an incense stick to burn and emerged without incident.

Chen Changan questioned Bu Yao, the soul who had secretly hidden on him after escaping the Burial Sword Abyss. Bu Yao recounted how a powerful stranger shattered the Immortal Ancient Domain after its greatest figures discovered a passage to another world, then chose to stay with Chen Changan and asked him to find his wife.

• Chen Changan recognized the aura of the old man who appeared and learned that his name was Bu Yao.
• Bu Yao explained that he and other powerful figures had discovered an entrance to a higher world, then offended a stranger who destroyed the Immortal Ancient Domain and sealed them away.
• Bu Yao said the stranger had regarded the Immortal Ancient Domain’s people with contempt and had created the Karma Dao Chain to prevent them from returning to the higher world.
• Bu Yao decided to stay with Chen Changan for safety and asked him to help find his wife.

Chen Changan struck a bargain with Bu Yao, agreeing to help him find Bi Lian in exchange for Bu Yao’s knowledge and obedience. While exploring a desolate continent of the Immortal Ancient Domain, Chen Changan sensed a faint aura and discovered a hidden underground entrance.

• Chen Changan learned that Bu Yao’s wife was named Bi Lian and joked that their names made them a perfect match.
• Bu Yao agreed to obey Chen Changan and share what he knew, but warned him against approaching the entrance he had found in the past.
• Bu Yao hid inside Chen Changan, and Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang flew across a desolate continent without finding anyone.
• Chen Changan sensed a faint aura and led the group toward its source, where they discovered an illusion array concealing an underground entrance.
• Chen Changan and the others entered the hidden entrance to investigate.

Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang entered an underground world and learned that humans hid there to escape the other races. The chapter left Chen Changan confronting the revelation that humans above were enslaved and eaten.

• Chen Changan used Bu Yao's advice to open a gap in the barrier, then led Mu Yunyao and Da Huang through a passage to an underground world.
• The three flew to a nearby city, found its streets deserted, and entered a home to ask its residents what was happening.
• Three men confronted Chen Changan and his companions, then relaxed after learning they were human visitors from the Burial Sword Land.
• A resident explained that the underground world was called the Underground Abyss and that humans had lived there for generations to stay safe.
• The resident said humans were the enemy of all in the Land of Chaotic Races, where other races enslaved and ate them, and that humans were too weak to fight back.

Chen Changan questioned the Underground Abyss’s old city lord about the Human Race’s retreat and the hostile races that had appeared after the Immortal Ancient Domain shattered. He learned that the Three Great Families controlled the Abyss’s resources and protected it, but the city lord could not explain which races threatened humanity or how he knew they had enslaved and eaten humans.

• Chen Changan questioned three guards about the Human Race’s hiding place, its enemies, and the size of the Underground Abyss, but they knew little and had weak cultivation.
• Chen Changan made the guards take him to the old city lord, who explained that the Immortal Ancient Domain had shattered and unfamiliar races had emerged to suppress the Human Race.
• The old city lord said humans had built the Underground Abyss to survive and that the Three Great Families defended it when its entrances were discovered.
• Chen Changan learned that the Three Great Families controlled most of the Abyss’s scarce cultivation resources, while the Human Race’s strength continued to decline.
• Chen Changan asked which races had appeared and how they had enslaved and eaten humans, but the old city lord admitted he had never seen them and could not say how he knew those things.

Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang searched the Land of Chaotic Races for evidence of other races, while Bu Yao revealed that three evil races had once been driven from the Immortal Ancient Domain. Bu Yao began explaining the Heart-Devouring Insect Race and its parasitic larvae.

• Chen Changan left the Underground Abyss with Mu Yunyao and Da Huang, unconvinced by the old city lord's claims about the Three Great Families.
• Mu Yunyao and Da Huang questioned whether the Three Great Families were using the Human Race's fortune to preserve their own power.

• Bu Yao described how the Heart-Devouring Insect Race's larvae parasitized hosts of every race and took control of their brains.

Bu Yao explained why he had driven out the Heart-Devouring Insect Race, the Withered Corpse Race, and the Mirror People Race instead of exterminating them, and Chen Changan scolded him for leaving the threat alive. Chen Changan suspected those races might be in the Land of Chaotic Races and believed defeating them could lift its seal; the chapter ended as he spotted what seemed to be humans in the distance.

• Bu Yao described the three dangerous races and admitted he had spared them because he thought they would never return.
• Chen Changan scolded Bu Yao for failing to wipe out the races and warned that leaving them alive had created a hidden danger.

• Chen Changan explained that eliminating the three races might lift the land's seal and help him rebuild the Immortal Ancient Domain.
• Da Huang urged caution because they had not reached the Dao Evolution Realm, but Chen Changan spotted what he thought were humans ahead.

Chen Changan encountered three young Human Race members who had recently left the Underground Abyss, confirmed they were genuine, and urged them to return because the Land of Chaotic Races might be dangerous. The youths refused and vowed to pursue their own path, so Chen Changan gave them resources and let them go.

• Chen Changan and his companions found three young people in the Land of Chaotic Races, and Da Huang confirmed by their scent that they were genuine members of the Human Race.
• The three explained that they had left the Underground Abyss three days earlier because they believed its inhabitants had lied about the dangers above.
• Chen Changan warned the youths that they were too weak to survive if danger arose and recommended that they return to the Underground Abyss.
• The young man refused, declaring that he would rather die aboveground than return and that he wanted to help change the Human Race's circumstances.
• Chen Changan respected their decision, gave them resources, and wished them well.

Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang entered a Human Race city and investigated its unusually enthusiastic residents. Da Huang concluded that the residents smelled human, but their human scent was extremely faint, leaving the group unsure what they were.

• Chen Changan explained that he had secretly placed a tracking barrier on the young travelers, hoping they might lead him to danger or a clue.
• Mu Yunyao spotted a city in the distance, and Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang flew there to investigate.
• Da Huang sensed that the city's residents smelled human, but their scent was unusually faint, so the three entered the city to examine them closely.
• The residents crowded around Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao with questions and lavish hospitality, while Da Huang sniffed them throughout the day.
• After the crowds dispersed, Da Huang told Chen Changan that the residents were human but smelled far less strongly human than the three young travelers.

Chen Changan and his companions suspected that the welcoming Humans in the Land of Chaotic Races were bait for one of the three rumored races. Bu Yao identified the Mirror People Race as the likeliest culprit and explained why Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao were more attractive targets than Da Huang.

• Mu Yunyao pointed out that the city's Humans were unusually welcoming and seemed unable to cultivate beyond the First Heaven of Immortality.
• Chen Changan reasoned that the Humans might be bait raised to lure prey for the three races.
• Bu Yao explained that the Mirror People Race enslaved Humans and used some as bait to attract targets it wanted to copy.
• Bu Yao said the Heart-Devouring Insect Race raised Humans to breed its young, while the Withered Corpse Race enslaved them as food.
• Bu Yao said the Mirror People Race chose targets based on looks and strength, making Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao prime targets and Da Huang comparatively safe.
• Da Huang angrily challenged Bu Yao over his claim that the Mirror People Race had standards, and Bu Yao clarified that he meant they would not want to copy Da Huang.

Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang prepared to confront the Mirror People Race after learning about its replication ability and mirror weakness. When four Mirror People approached the inn, the group launched a coordinated attack, with Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao facing two suspected royals.

• Bu Yao explained that Mirror People were weak before replicating someone and could be defeated by shattering their mirrors, though completed replicas might accompany them.
• Chen Changan assigned Da Huang to keep watch, and Da Huang detected four approaching figures that did not smell human.
• Bu Yao said the four likely included two unreplicated Mirror People and two completed replicas, and Chen Changan planned for Da Huang to handle the replicas while he and Mu Yunyao attacked the others.
• Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao put on conical hats to keep their faces from being reflected, then left the inn as the Mirror People arrived.
• The Mirror People resolved to keep their targets from escaping, and Da Huang charged the two completed replicas as Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao attacked the suspected royal members.

Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao ambushed and killed four Mirror People, then discovered mirror-shaped objects inside their bodies that appeared to grant their ability to replicate. Chen Changan absorbed the energy from one without suffering any visible side effects, confirming the objects were the source of the Mirror People's power.

• Da Huang drew the Mirror People’s attention while Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao attacked and shattered the faces of two royal members.
• Chen Changan quickly killed the remaining two Mirror People and noticed faintly glowing objects inside their bodies.
• Chen Changan cut open the corpses and found four mirror-shaped objects, with the royal member’s object shining more brightly.
• Chen Changan concluded that the objects likely gave the Mirror People their ability to replicate, while Bu Yao admitted he had never discovered them before.
• Despite Mu Yunyao’s warnings, Chen Changan absorbed the energy from one of the objects, and nothing visibly happened to him.
• Chen Changan concluded that the small mirrors were the Mirror People’s greatest treasure and the source of their replication ability.

Chen Changan learned that he could replicate talents, though the ability was limited, and spared the humans who had been forced to serve the Mirror People Race. He learned that the Mirror People Race, Withered Corpse Race, and Heart-Devouring Insect Race controlled the remaining humans, and promised the suffering would soon end.

• Chen Changan explained that he could replicate talents but could not copy appearances or cultivation levels, and Da Huang refused to be his test subject.
• Chen Changan called the city’s residents together, and they expected him to kill them for helping the Mirror People Race.
• Chen Changan told the residents their actions were wrong but not a capital crime because they had been abandoned and coerced.
• The residents said the Mirror People Race threatened to feed them to the Withered Corpse Race or turn them into breeding puppets for the Heart-Devouring Insect Race.
• The residents revealed that the three races controlled the human population and targeted people from the Underground Abyss and their descendants, and Chen Changan promised the situation would soon end.

Chen Changan sheltered the Human Race survivors in his Small World after learning the Mirror People Race and other races abducted and brainwashed their children. As he considered how to find the Mirror People Race's leader, he discovered the three little ones had been captured and went to rescue them.

• The Human Race survivors explained that the Mirror People Race took their talented children and brainwashed them, while Chen Changan listened and grew angry.
• Chen Changan offered to shelter the survivors in his Small World, and they agreed to enter it.
• Da Huang asked the survivors to keep an eye on Little Earthworm and Yi Tuo inside the Small World.
• Bu Yao explained that capturing the Mirror People Race's leader would force the scattered members to gather.
• Chen Changan sensed that the Mirror People Race had captured the three little ones and headed out with Da Huang to investigate.

The Mirror People Race lured three young Human Race runaways to a cultivation settlement by pretending to be their allies. Chen Changan listened in as the trio questioned their hosts’ motives, then considered whether destroying the settlement would draw out the Mirror People Race’s chief.

• Mirror People Race members posing as Human Race guides persuaded the three young runaways that their people protected humans and led them to a cultivation holy land.
• The guides praised the Mirror People Race and told the newcomers to train hard and be grateful for the resources they received.
• After settling in, the girl celebrated their good fortune, while the two young men suspected the guides had an ulterior motive and urged caution.
• Chen Changan listened to the trio’s conversation and approved of their independent thinking.
• Chen Changan asked whether the settlement was where the Mirror People Race kept the Human Race confined and whether destroying it would attract the race’s chief.

Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang broke through to the Dao Evolution Realm before heading to the place where the Mirror People Race kept Human Race descendants captive. They revealed the truth to the three young ones, but the chapter ended as a Mirror People Race powerhouse demanded the two women.

• Chen Changan explained that the group needed to reach the Dao Evolution Realm before confronting the Mirror People Race chief, then began comprehending his Dao.
• Chen Changan, Mu Yunyao, and Da Huang connected their Daos to the Immortal Ancient Domain and broke through to the Dao Evolution Realm in little more than an hour.
• Chen Changan explained to the stunned Bu Yao that they had comprehended their Daos in another world and needed to merge them with the Immortal Ancient Domain.
• Chen Changan and the others followed the three young ones to a cultivation ground where the Mirror People Race held Human Race descendants captive.
• Chen Changan told the three young ones that the Mirror People Race intended to use them, and a Mirror People Race powerhouse demanded the two Human Race women.

Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao discovered that the mountain’s Human Race residents were being manipulated by the Mirror People Race, and Chen Changan exposed and killed two disguised members. He trapped the gathered residents and their hidden enemies in a Space-Time Cage, then challenged the Mirror People Race to reveal themselves.

• Bu Yao warned Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao to beware of Mirror People Race members, so they and the three little ones put on hats.
• Two disguised Mirror People Race members approached Chen Changan and tried to remove his hat, but Chen Changan exposed them and killed them.
• The Mirror People Race tried to turn the Human Race descendants against Chen Changan by claiming he and Mu Yunyao were enemies.
• Chen Changan trapped everyone in a Space-Time Cage and challenged the concealed Mirror People Race members to show themselves.

Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao killed the Mirror People guarding the area and captured the Mirror clan leader’s son to lead them to his father. After the Human Race descendants attacked Chen Changan again despite learning the truth, he explained that the Mirror People had brainwashed them into loyal servants, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao killed the Mirror People watching them, sparing only the clan leader’s youngest son after Bu Yao identified him.
• The captive agreed to take Chen Changan to his father, and Chen Changan absorbed energy from the mirrors inside the dead Mirror People.
• Chen Changan had Mu Yunyao guard the captive and returned to explain to the trapped Human Race descendants that the Mirror People had deceived and targeted them.
• When Chen Changan removed the Space-Time Cage, the descendants attacked him again, so he trapped them once more.
• Chen Changan explained to the three youngsters that the descendants had been brainwashed since childhood into regarding the Mirror People as their benefactors and closest kin.
• The three youngsters recognized the descendants as victims and asked whether they would have to remain trapped forever.

Chen Changan erased the captured Human Race youths’ memories and arranged for them to return to the Underground Abyss, where they could help investigate the Three Great Families. He suspected those families were hiding a secret because the races of the Land of Chaotic Races had never invaded the Underground Abyss.

• Chen Changan rejected killing the memory-wiped captives and used the Memory Erasure Technique to remove their memories.
• Chen Changan told the confused youths that the Mirror People Race had captured and brainwashed them, then explained that he had rescued them.
• Chen Changan sent the youths with three companions to a hidden Human Race settlement and instructed them to return to the Underground Abyss with the resources.
• Chen Changan asked the three youngsters to secretly watch the Three Great Families, warning them not to act rashly.
• Da Huang asked why the races of the Land of Chaotic Races had never invaded the Underground Abyss, and Chen Changan concluded that the Three Great Families were hiding something.

Chen Changan explained why he suspected the Three Great Families were secretly cooperating with the three races, then prepared to confront the Mirror People Race's leader. He left with Mu Yunyao and the battered Mirror People Race prince, who agreed to take them to his father.

• Chen Changan told Da Huang that the Three Great Families might be connected to the three races and that the three young observers were likely descendants of those families.
• Chen Changan explained that the Underground Abyss's barrier and reports of people sneaking out and invasions contradicted one another, leading him to suspect the Three Great Families were in cahoots with the three races.
• Chen Changan said the three young observers' reactions would reveal more, and that his tracking and listening barriers would let him know if they were discovered.
• Chen Changan found Mu Yunyao had beaten the Mirror People Race's prince after he looked at her oddly.
• Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao ordered the prince to take them to his father, and the prince agreed to avoid further torment.
