Chapter Summaries

After escaping the Evil God's attack, Ye Jing was separated from Qiuyue and the Glazed Pagoda and landed in a secluded valley. While hiding there, he overheard a woman in white ask a middle-aged man for help because the Heavenly Court had discovered her village, but the man refused to act yet.

• The Glazed Pagoda held back the giant mouth long enough for Ye Jing, Qiuyue, and the pagoda to enter the spatial passage, where a powerful force separated Ye Jing from the others.
• Ye Jing arrived in a valley, concealed himself from a searching middle-aged man, and moved deeper into the valley to recover his strength.
• After recovering, Ye Jing realized he lacked enough Spirit Stones to set up a world-transmission Array and decided to leave the valley to find more.
• Ye Jing hid again when a woman in white arrived, crushed a jade talisman, and waited for the middle-aged man.
• The woman in white told the middle-aged man that the Heavenly Court had discovered her village and begged him for help, but he refused because it was not yet time to expose themselves.
• Ye Jing realized the valley was a secret meeting place for people opposed to the Heavenly Court.

Ye Jing followed a middle-aged man to a hidden cave, hoping to learn about the resistance against the Heavenly Court and find a way out of the world. There, he discovered that the man was secretly recording destroyed villages—and gleefully crossing off their names himself.

• Ye Jing overheard the woman in white and the middle-aged man discuss resisting the Heavenly Court, and decided to follow the man for more information.
• The middle-aged man went to a secluded cave, and Ye Jing slipped inside and waited for him to return.
• Ye Jing followed the middle-aged man to a stone chamber and narrowly avoided being discovered while spying on him.
• Ye Jing saw a list of villages the Heavenly Court had destroyed, and watched the man add Ruotian Village to it.
• The middle-aged man crossed Ruotian Village off another list and smiled wickedly, revealing that he was not the resistance ally Ye Jing had assumed.

Ye Jing discovered that the Broken Cloud Wing Society was working with the Heavenly Court and learned that Bai Luo's village was about to be purged. He revealed the truth to Bai Luo and offered to help her resist, leaving her devastated by the betrayal.

• Ye Jing left a concealed listening formation in the cave and secretly observed Bai Luo's village.
• Bai Luo told the village elders that the Broken Cloud Wing Society could not help them, and they agreed to flee before the Heavenly Court arrived.
• Bai Luo decided to stay behind, prepare traps and formations, and delay the Heavenly Court's forces while the villagers escaped.
• Ye Jing gave Bai Luo a book of formation techniques and told her that the Broken Cloud Wing Society was a Heavenly Court pawn.
• Bai Luo broke down after learning that the Society had recorded villages marked for destruction and had deceived them into believing it would save them.

With Ye Jing’s covert guidance, Bai Luo prepared the village’s defenses and disguised it to conceal its traps and formations. Heavenly Court’s people arrived and entered the village, unaware of the danger awaiting them.

• Bai Luo agreed to build defenses against Heavenly Court, and Ye Jing promised to guide and support her from the shadows.
• Bai Luo spent days setting traps and formations as the village emptied, until she was the only one left.
• Ye Jing taught Bai Luo a disguising technique, and she made the village appear inhabited while concealing the formations’ aura.
• Ye Jing prepared to test whether a spatial teleportation formation could break through the world barrier when Heavenly Court attacked.
• Heavenly Court’s people arrived, and their silver-armored leader swaggered into the village with his followers, unaware of Bai Luo’s traps.

Bai Luo and Ye Jing ambushed five Heavenly Court members with layered formations, killing four and leaving one Divine General barely alive. Ye Jing also discovered that Heavenly Court had reinforced the spatial barrier, making escape through a rift difficult.

• Bai Luo activated her village formation and trapped the five Heavenly Court members, who failed to break through its barrier.
• On Ye Jing's signal, Bai Luo triggered the formation's detonation, badly injuring the five but leaving them alive.
• As the Heavenly Court members tried to flee, they struck Ye Jing's larger formation, which then self-destructed and killed four of them.
• Ye Jing used the explosion's lingering energy to test the spatial barrier and found it had been reinforced by Heavenly Court.
• Bai Luo moved to finish the surviving Divine General, but Ye Jing warned her to keep her distance, so she attacked him with ranged spells.

Ye Jing escaped with Bai Luo after defeating five Heavenly Court enforcers, but the Heavenly Court marked the villagers and began hunting them. After breaking through to the Eighth Heaven of God Realm, Ye Jing set out to find a way out of the sealed world, while Bai Luo chose to stay and resist.

• Ye Jing collected the Spirit Stones from the five dead enforcers and fled with Bai Luo as the cane-wielding Divine Lord arrived at the village.
• The Divine Lord ordered his forces to use marks on the fleeing villagers to track them down and kill them all.
• Ye Jing discovered an activated mark inside Bai Luo, concealed it temporarily, and told her he could not yet save the other villagers.
• Ye Jing explained that he planned to cultivate and then seek an exit from the sealed world, while Bai Luo said the only exits were controlled by the Heavenly Court.
• Ye Jing entered seclusion and quickly broke through to the Eighth Heaven of God Realm, nearing the Divine Realm Layer Nine.
• After revealing his youthful appearance to Bai Luo, Ye Jing proposed they search for an exit, but Bai Luo chose to remain and fight for her homeland.

Ye Jing encouraged Bai Luo to organize resistance against the Heavenly Court while investigating the reinforced world barrier. After giving Bai Luo formation discs to protect her group, he focused on studying the barrier with the Eye of Clarity, but he had yet to understand the power strengthening it.

• Ye Jing told Bai Luo how the Profound Yellow Great World had overthrown the Heavenly Court, and Bai Luo vowed to unite people in resistance.
• Ye Jing realized that linking oppressed worlds could challenge the Heavenly Court, but its reinforced world barrier made contact and escape difficult.
• Ye Jing and Bai Luo investigated the heavily guarded Heavenly Court city, found no useful clues, and turned to studying the barrier themselves.
• Bai Luo guided Ye Jing to strange sites, helped villages and fugitives, and warned communities about the Cloud Wind Association.
• Bai Luo decided to leave with her companions to expose the Cloud Wind Association and unite the villages, and Ye Jing gave her protective formation discs.
• Ye Jing used Spirit Stone and divine crystal glasses with the Eye of Clarity to see the power reinforcing the world barrier, but he could not yet analyze it.

Ye Jing questioned the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi about the Heavenly Court’s plans and learned more about its harvesting of Source and the fate of Golden Spirit Holy Mother. The Artifact Spirit then asked how Ye Jing knew the Starlight Force.

• Ye Jing concealed himself in a cave and summoned the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi to ask about the Heavenly Court.
• Ye Jing told the girl that the Heavenly Court was harvesting Source, working with the Evil God, and hunting him, then described the resistance forming in the Land of Life.
• The girl explained that the Heavenly Court harvested Source to preserve its rule and seek immortality, and that it had made a deal with the Evil God after events spiraled beyond its control.
• The girl said she knew of no hidden Great Emperor-level powerhouse and could not explain exactly how the Heavenly Court reinforced world barriers.
• The girl revealed that the Heavenly Court killed Golden Spirit Holy Mother and other gods who refused to absorb Source, while she escaped after Ye Jing’s Starlight Force awakened her.
• The girl wiped away her tears and asked Ye Jing how he knew the Starlight Force.

Ye Jing searched for a weak point in the Heavenly Court’s world barrier and realized its guarded entrance might be vulnerable to analysis. After learning the local forces had no Saints and hearing that the Cloud Wind Association planned to cooperate with the Heavenly Court’s coming purge, he prepared to help Bai Luo turn the association against its masters.

• Ye Jing told the girl he was studying the world barrier, and she offered to lead him to a former Heavenly Court worker who might understand the Evil God’s power system.
• Ye Jing identified the Heavenly Court’s entrance as a possible weak point and proposed drawing away its guards by stirring up attacks on the cities.
• Ye Jing and the girl learned that the Heavenly Court’s forces in the world had no Saints, while Bai Luo reported that around ten villages had joined her alliance.
• Bai Luo told Ye Jing that taking over the Cloud Wind Association could bring more villages to their side, and Ye Jing agreed to help remove its leader.
• Ye Jing recovered his hidden listening Array Pattern and heard that the Cloud Wind Association would withdraw into the city and cooperate with the Heavenly Court’s final purge.

Bai Luo united the villages to attack the city, and their formations helped them hold off the Heavenly Court despite its superior high-level fighters. As the battle stalled and the Heaven’s Soldiers stayed at the Heavenly Court entrance, Ye Jing wounded a Divine General with a surprise attack, but the enemy began healing.

• Bai Luo persuaded the village leaders to join an assault on the city and led them in preparing a plan.
• Ye Jing decided Bai Luo would lead the operation while he watched for a chance to reach the Heavenly Court entrance and study the world barrier.
• Bai Luo led the village warriors into battle, where their numbers and Ye Jing’s formations helped them resist the Heavenly Court’s stronger fighters.
• Ye Jing slipped into a formation and waited for an opening to attack a Divine Realm Layer Nine Divine General.
• After a village leader’s jade sword served as a decoy, Ye Jing struck the Divine General in the back with the Xuanyuan Sword and escaped into the shadows.
• The wounded Divine General took a pill and began healing, leaving the villagers’ hopes shaken.

Ye Jing discovered that the Heavenly Court Divine General’s pills let him rapidly recover, so he sought an opening to defeat him before he could heal. Ye Jing killed the Divine General with his strongest sword technique, leaving both armies stunned by his strength.

• Ye Jing realized the Divine General’s rapid healing came from the Evil God’s pills and decided he needed to end the fight before the general could recover.
• The Divine General mocked Ye Jing and drove back the village warriors, who used their formation to distract him and create an opening.
• Ye Jing attacked from behind with the Xuanyuan Sword, but the Divine General sensed him and blocked the strike with his Battle Axe.
• Ye Jing unleashed “Endless Life,” cutting the Divine General at the waist; the wound then opened and split the general’s body in two.
• The village warriors and Heavenly Court forces stared in shock, while the other Divine Realm Layer Nine powerhouses recognized Ye Jing as a serious threat.

• Ye Jing decided to get away from the battle and created an Illusory Dream Body to scout the Heavenly Court's reinforced barrier.

Ye Jing deciphered the Heavenly Court entrance barrier using the laws of the Three Poisons Realm and broke it, freeing the world to reach other worlds. The Heavenly Court’s experts were left in fear as the barrier shattered.

• Ye Jing studied the Heavenly Court entrance barrier and comprehended the laws and structure of the Three Poisons Realm.
• Ye Jing used his new understanding to crack the barrier, then returned to his true body and wounded the Heavenly Court commander when its experts tried to stop him.

• Ye Jing formed a crystal hoe from runes and laws and struck the crack, shattering the world barrier.
• The world’s restraints vanished, and the Heavenly Court’s experts realized Ye Jing had broken the barrier and feared the consequences.

• Ye Jing sensed that Heavenly Court and Evil God experts might arrive, so he left the city and found Bai Luo.
