Chapter Summaries

Sea Covering True Monarch devised a scheme to secure the Immortal Pill’s ingredients by having Chen Mobai repair a Phoenix Clan artifact, while using the pill and Chen’s possible ascension to weaken Eastern Continent. Zhao Nansheng carried the plan toward the Dao Virtue Sect disguised as Kuzhu, while Zhang Pankong returned to Eastern Continent as a newly successful Spirit Transformation.

• Sea Covering True Monarch told Zhao Nansheng to use the Empress’s connection to the Phoenix Clan and a supposedly repairable artifact to arrange the Immortal Pill ingredients and turn Chen Mobai’s departure to their advantage.
• Zhao Nansheng, disguised as Kuzhu, traveled with Ao Yuxia to Eastern Continent, while Zhang Pankong returned with them after reaching Spirit Transformation.
• Ao Yuxia went to the Dao Virtue Sect, and Zhao Nansheng headed for Mingjing Immortal City to prepare his next move.
• Zhang Pankong met Chen Mobai at Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion and told him that Ao Yuxia planned to help True Monarch Wuchen refine the Immortal Pill.
• Zhang Pankong told Chen Mobai that Kuzhu had reached Spirit Transformation, and Chen wondered why he had not gone to see his wife and children.

Chen Mobai discovered that the Kuzhu who had returned to Kong Sang Valley was actually Zhao Nansheng, a demonic cultivator who had seized Kuzhu’s body. After trapping him within the formation at Panghuang Mountain, Chen Mobai began probing him while considering whether Kuzhu’s sword intent could still be awakened.

• Chen Mobai used the Sky Net Earth Net Great Formation and the Clear Sky Mirror to detect Zhao Nansheng hiding in Kuzhu’s body at Kong Sang Valley.
• Zhao Nansheng revealed his Spirit Transformation cultivation to Kong Sang Valley’s Elders, then received Chen Mobai’s summons and flew to Panghuang Mountain.
• Chen Mobai recognized the Great Transformation Heavenly Demon and Supreme Heart Demon signs on the World Destroying Millstone and concluded that the visitor was not the real Kuzhu.
• Chen Mobai told Zhang Pankong about the demonic impostor, and Zhang Pankong left to warn the Eastern Lands before Chen Mobai confronted Zhao Nansheng.
• Chen Mobai challenged Zhao Nansheng over neglecting Kuzhu’s family and his trip to Central Continent, and Zhao Nansheng claimed he had gone to retrieve Daoist Tianlan’s treasure.
• Chen Mobai said the resources in Lanyuan Valley had already been emptied by him.

Chen Mobai exposed Zhao Nansheng as an Inner Demon Incarnation controlling Kuzhu’s body and used the Primordial Beginning Demon Talisman and Peaceful Reign Sword Intent to restore Kuzhu’s Primordial Spirit. Zhao Nansheng revealed that his true body was in the Sea Eye before he was driven from Kuzhu, who awoke and pledged himself to Chen Mobai.

• Zhao Nansheng tried to convince Chen Mobai he was Kuzhu, but Chen demanded that he refine the Primordial Beginning Talisman and prove he was not the Central Demonic Dao Master.
• When Zhao Nansheng resisted, Chen Mobai overwhelmed his Sky Abyss Sword Intent with the Clear Sky Mirror and Primordial Yang Sword Sha, forcing him to accept the Talisman.
• After Zhao Nansheng swore he was not the Central Demonic Dao Master, Chen Mobai questioned his changed sword intent and used Kuzhu’s Natal Flying Sword to send Peaceful Reign Sword Intent into Kuzhu’s suppressed Primordial Spirit.
• The Primordial Beginning Demon Talisman restrained Zhao Nansheng as Kuzhu’s Primordial Spirit broke free, and Chen Mobai identified Zhao Nansheng as an Inner Demon Incarnation.
• Zhao Nansheng revealed that his true body was in the Sea Eye and threatened the Five Elements Sect before his heart demon power dispersed from Kuzhu’s body.
• Half a day later, Kuzhu awoke, knelt before Chen Mobai, and vowed to obey him.

Chen Mobai passed the Primordial Yang Sword Art to Kuzhu, who reunited with his daughter and planned to take her to Shattered Jade Hall. True Monarch Wuchen then asked Chen Mobai to help repair the Phoenix Clan’s Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither, offering him an Immortal Pill; Chen agreed to travel to Duguang Wilds.

• Kuzhu asked Chen Mobai to cripple his cultivation to prevent the demonic cultivator’s influence from making him lose control, but Chen instead gave him the Primordial Yang Sword Art and a sword-intent seal.
• Kuzhu developed his protective sword intent, which Chen named Heavenly Kinship, and decided to reunite with his family and live in seclusion.

• True Monarch Wuchen asked Chen Mobai to inspect and repair the damaged Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither, revealing its connection to the Calamity Great Dao and the Nine Heavens Tribulation.
• Wuchen offered Chen Mobai a share of the Immortal Pills in exchange for his help, and Chen agreed to meet him at Taixu Misty Palace in one month.

Chen Mobai traveled to Southern Continent to repair Duguang Wilds’ Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither, after arranging a search for Zhang Yiku, who had run away to seek freedom and find his father. At Duguang Wilds, the Phoenix Sacred Wood and a familiar river led Chen Mobai to connect the place to the Jade Wutong and Heavenly Venerable’s origins.

• Zhang Yiku disappeared after teleporting away from Shattered Jade Hall, leaving a message that he planned to tour Eastern Continent, travel across the seas, and find his father in Western Continent.
• Chen Mobai summoned Kuzhu back, arranged for Xuanshui to mobilize the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance to search for Zhang Yiku, and told Kuzhu to remain in the Seven Regions.
• Chen Mobai traveled through Taixu Misty Palace’s Cross-Continent Teleportation Array to Southern Continent with True Monarch Wuchen and the others.
• Great Gu True Monarch introduced Duguang Wilds’ Sixth Order Peak Phoenix Sacred Wood, and Chen Mobai recognized it as the same species as the Immortal Sect’s Jade Wutong.
• Feng Qingshu welcomed Chen Mobai and invited Flame Immortal and Fanyun Layman to observe his repair of the Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither; Chen Mobai agreed.
• Beside the Phoenix Sacred Wood, Chen Mobai saw a river like the one from his Dao Awakening vision and realized Heavenly Venerable’s branch had drifted from Duguang Wilds.

Chen Mobai examined the damaged Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither in Duguang Wilds and found its spirit unwilling to cooperate with his restoration attempt. After he manifested the Cinnabar Phoenix Primordial Spirit, the spirit warmed to him, allowing him to use the Cantong Qi and discover that restoring the seven strings might return the former Dao Accomplishment Treasure to Seventh Order.

• Feng Qingshu brought Chen Mobai and the others across the Redwater River to Tianfeng Valley, where they visited the Phoenix Sacred Wood’s Zither Hall.
• The zither spirit emerged from the Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither, dismissed the proposed restoration, and retreated into the instrument.
• Feng Qingshu showed Chen Mobai the Seventh Order Heavenly Spider silk and the Sixth Order Crimson Fire Silkworm silk available for new strings.
• Chen Mobai tried to examine the zither with the Cantong Qi, but its spirit kept him at a distance and he had to stop after exhausting much of his Spiritual Sense.
• Chen Mobai manifested his Cinnabar Phoenix Primordial Spirit, prompting the zither spirit to emerge and let him use the Cantong Qi.
• Chen Mobai learned that the zither’s body remained intact and that restoring its strings and gathering its seven Great Daos could let it regain Seventh Order.

Chen Mobai examined the Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither, witnessed the battle that had shattered its strings, and identified the Great Daos represented by all seven strings. He devised possible repair methods and was about to discuss his plan with Feng Qingshu and the gathered Spirit Transformation Cultivators.

• Chen Mobai used Cantong Qi to study the broken Musicality string and realized it could be repaired by fusing its remnant with a new string.
• Chen Mobai touched the broken Calamity string and witnessed a memory of the Phoenix Divine Bird fighting a black-white figure, losing its wing, and having all seven zither strings shattered.
• Chen Mobai awoke to find the Calamity string producing Dao Marks, learned from Feng Lizhu that Nirvana Divine Light had enveloped him, and discovered that the zither spirit had returned to the Fire String.
• Chen Mobai traced the zither's damage back to the moment its strings broke and identified their Great Daos as fire, music, life, death, desire, stars, and calamity.
• Chen Mobai considered the difficulty of restoring strings without surviving Great Dao remnants and developed a possible repair plan using his artifact-refining knowledge.
• Feng Qingshu arrived with several Spirit Transformation Cultivators, and Chen Mobai told her he wanted to discuss repairing the zither.

Chen Mobai repaired the Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither’s second Sound String, impressing the gathered cultivators and humiliating the Flame Immortal. He told Feng Qingshu he could not yet repair the other strings, but had rough ideas for four of them, leaving her hopeful as the Flame Immortal returned.

• Feng Qingshu introduced Chen Mobai to the Flame Immortal, who challenged him to repair the zither and belittled his chances.
• Chen Mobai prepared a new string from Crimson Fire Silkworm Silk and fused it with the broken string, successfully repairing the second Sound String.
• The Fire Phoenix zither spirit called Chen Mobai master and agreed to protect the new string from the Fire String’s corrosion.
• Chen Mobai set Restrictions on the repaired string, accepted Feng Qingshu’s Phoenix Tea, and admitted he could not currently repair another string.
• Chen Mobai said he had rough ideas for repairing the strings of life, death, Passion, and stars, and Feng Qingshu asked whether he had confirmed their Great Daos as the Flame Immortal returned with Pharmacist Li.

Chen Mobai devised a way to repair the Nine Calamity Sky Phoenix Zither’s remaining strings and earned Feng Qingshu’s trust by sharing his methods. While restoring the String of Life with the Wutong Spirit, he learned that the Fire Phoenix’s ancient enemy controlled the Great Dao of Ending, and the chapter ended with Flame Immortal realizing how far his artifact-refining ability fell below Chen Mobai’s.

• Flame Immortal argued that the Great Daos of Life and Death could not coexist in a Magic Artifact, but Great Gu True Monarch and others mocked his ignorance of Innate Great Daos.
• Chen Mobai explained that the four remaining strings needed new strings infused with Great Dao Power, and Feng Qingshu agreed to entrust the repair to him and preserve his methods in a Jade Slip.
• Feng Qingshu drove Flame Immortal from the Zither Hall after he continued questioning Chen Mobai’s conclusions, and Chen Mobai made four new strings while explaining his techniques to Fanyun Layman and the Feng Clan’s artifact refiners.
• Chen Mobai and Feng Qingshu entered the Phoenix Sacred Wood’s mindscape, where the Wutong Spirit recognized his phoenix aura and Feng Qingshu warned him that the Fire Phoenix’s ancient enemy could perceive discussion of its Great Dao of Ending.
• The Wutong Spirit infused a new string with the Great Dao of Life, allowing Chen Mobai to cultivate its spirituality and restore the third string, the String of Life.
• After hearing the String of Life had been restored, Flame Immortal realized that his artifact-refining ability was vastly inferior to Chen Mobai’s and began to doubt himself.

Chen Mobai comprehended the Nirvana Scripture in Tianfeng Valley, rapidly grasping the Phoenix progenitor’s Nirvana Great Dao and realizing it could support repeated attempts at cultivation. After he exhausted his Spiritual Sense, Feng Qingshu gave him Phoenix Tea and asked him to help repair more zither strings before ascending.

• Feng Qingshu explained the Nirvana Scripture’s origins and significance to Chen Mobai, then left him to comprehend it while Feng Lizhu kept watch.
• Chen Mobai’s Cinnabar Phoenix Primordial Spirit resonated with the Nirvana Scripture, manifesting its Dao Marks and stirring the Nirvana Great Dao.
• Chen Mobai learned that the Nirvana Great Dao could revive him after death and let him correct his flaws through repeated attempts, and he decided to use it to help reach Void Training.
• After his Spiritual Sense was depleted and his Primordial Spirit returned to his body, Chen Mobai drank Phoenix Tea offered by Feng Qingshu and began recovering.
• Feng Qingshu gave Chen Mobai a jar of eighty-one Sixth Order Phoenix Tea leaves and asked him to repair more zither strings before ascending, and he accepted the gift.

Chen Mobai learned that the Eastern Earth Imperial Court had arranged for him to repair Tianfeng Valley’s zither strings in hopes of pushing him to ascend and clearing the way to rebuild its power in Eastern Continent. He returned home after hearing Qing Nü was nearing Nascent Soul Perfection and found her breakthrough absorbing the Water Spiritual Energy of Cloud Dream Marsh.

• Chen Mobai received Sixth Order Phoenix Tea leaves and Crimson Fire Silkworm Silk from Feng Qingshu, and they agreed on payment for future zither repairs and possible medicinal-ingredient trade.
• Feng Qingshu revealed that Ao Yuxia had led the plan to bring Chen Mobai to Tianfeng Valley, and that the Eastern Earth Imperial Court hoped his ascension would allow it to rebuild its power in Eastern Continent.
• Chen Mobai returned to Eastern Continent and learned from Zhang Pankong that Qing Nü had emerged from cultivation and was close to Nascent Soul Perfection.
• Chen Mobai hurried to Cloud Dream Marsh and saw Qing Nü absorb vast Water Spiritual Energy through the Sea Calming Pearl as she advanced.

Qing Nü used the Taiyi Three Pills, the Water Element Dao Fruit, and Cloud Dream Marsh’s spiritual vein to cultivate her Second Nascent Soul into a primordial spirit, then reached Nascent Soul Perfection with the Sea Stabilizing Sword. Afterward, she traveled to the Southern Continent, gathered pill ingredients, and arranged to open Danxia Pavilion there with Feng Qingshu; Chen Mobai agreed with her plans but insisted that a Nascent Soul cultivator also be sent.

• Qing Nü refined the Primordial Water Birth Pill inside her Sea Calming Pearl, and her Second Nascent Soul began advancing toward a primordial spirit under the Water Element Great Dao Power.
• Qing Nü used Cloud Dream Marsh’s fifth-order Water Spiritual Vein and the Taiyi Three Pills to help her Second Nascent Soul cross into Spirit Transformation, while Chen Mobai stabilized it with the Morning Bell.
• Chen Mobai gave Qing Nü the sixth-order Sea Stabilizing Sword, and she used it to bring her true body to Nascent Soul Perfection.
• Qing Nü traveled to the Southern Continent, obtained the ingredients for the Taiyi Three Pills, and reached an agreement with Feng Qingshu to open Danxia Pavilion there.
• Qing Nü proposed overseeing the new branch before sending Jin Ling’er to take charge, and Chen Mobai agreed but said they also needed to send a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Qing Nü prepared to establish a Five Elements Sect branch in Southern Continent and used Phoenix Tea to raise her Spiritual Sense. After five years, she began her Spirit Transformation Tribulation at Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, while Chen Mobai drew power from the surrounding spiritual veins to protect her.

• Chen Mobai and Qing Nü chose Luo Yixuan to lead a group of cultivators to Southern Continent, where the Five Elements Sect planned to establish a branch.
• E Yun persuaded Chen Mobai to support the branch project and raise True Disciples to the Core Formation level; more than a hundred Core Formation cultivators and many Foundation Establishment cultivators volunteered for the journey.
• Chen Mobai and Qing Nü refined Taiyi Three Pills, and Qing Nü developed Phoenix Tea drinks that could strengthen cultivators’ Spiritual Sense.
• Over five years, Qing Nü stabilized her Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness at the fifth-order level and decided to attempt Spirit Transformation.
• Qing Nü consumed the Taiyi Three Pills at Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, and Chen Mobai drew spiritual energy from the surrounding territories as dark clouds and fierce heat spread over Cloud Dream Marsh.
• E Yun arrived in Wind Rain Immortal City, saw the storm above Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, and recognized it as the Spirit Transformation Tribulation.

Qing Nü successfully formed her Primordial Spirit and underwent the Spirit Transformation tribulation over Cloud Dream Marsh. The tribulation completed Chen Mobai’s Pure Yang Immortal Robe’s advancement to Sixth Order, and Qing Nü emerged as a Spirit Transformation Cultivator.

• Qing Nü awakened after reaching Spirit Transformation and discussed with Chen Mobai whether she would return to the Immortal Sect to cultivate the Evergreen Technique.
• Chen Mobai gave Qing Nü the nearly completed Pure Yang Immortal Robe, and she used the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl to protect Cloud Dream Marsh as her fire tribulation began.
• Fu Zongjue and the other Five Elements Sect Nascent Soul Cultivators watched from Wind Rain Immortal City, while Yanhuo gained insight from the tribulation and approached Nascent Soul Perfection.
• Kuzhu and Xuanshui arrived as Qing Nü emerged from the marsh, and Kuzhu helped protect the cultivators from the tribulation’s aftermath.
• The Pure Yang Immortal Robe’s nine blaze dragons consumed the fire tribulation for seven days and seven nights, matured their spirituality, and advanced the robe to Sixth Order as the Nine Fire Blaze Dragon Great Immortal Robe.
• Qing Nü tempered her Primordial Spirit in the waning tribulation, which disappeared seven days later and confirmed her success as a Spirit Transformation Cultivator.

Qing Nü completed Spirit Transmutation, and Chen Mobai and the Five Elements Sect celebrated her breakthrough while discussing how to strengthen the sect and exploit the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl. As the news spread and Holy Land representatives arrived, Qi Jiansu asked whether Qing Nü had an extra Longevity Great Dao Pill, while Yuan Zhen revealed she had already asked for one.

• Qing Nü returned the Sixth Order Pure Yang Immortal Robe to Chen Mobai and discussed refining the Dingyuan Zhenhai Pearl more deeply with Cantong Qi.
• Chen Mobai accepted Zhou Shengqing's proposal to revise the Grand Elder position and set Qing Nü's Spirit Transmutation Ceremony for two years later in North Abyss City.

• Qi Jiansu asked Qing Nü about an extra Longevity Great Dao Pill, and Yuan Zhen said she had already asked about one.

At the banquet celebrating Qing Nü’s Spirit Transformation, Yuan Zhen and Qi Jiansu sought Longevity Great Dao Pills, while Xuande proposed a campaign against the Giant Elephant Royal Court. Chen Mobai rejected that expedition and instead outlined plans to attack the Profound Flood Dragon Royal Court, leaving Qing Nü to decide whether to sell the pills.

• Yuan Zhen and Qi Jiansu asked Qing Nü to arrange exchanges for Longevity Great Dao Pills, and she revealed that the Five Elements Sect had three remaining and could sell one to each if Chen Mobai agreed.
• Xuande told Chen Mobai that the Dao Virtue Sect planned to launch a Wilderness Opening Decree against the Giant Elephant Royal Court, but Chen Mobai and Zhang Pankong advised against the campaign.
• Chen Mobai proposed that the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance join him in attacking the Profound Flood Dragon Royal Court after Qing Nü’s realm stabilized, and Xuande said he would report the plan to his sect master.
• After the guests departed, Qing Nü told Chen Mobai that the other sects wanted Longevity Great Dao Pills, and he left the decision to her.

Chen Mobai and Qing Nü arranged to put the Longevity Great Dao Pill on the Spirit Treasure Pavilion’s exchange list and planned to trade for ingredients for Qing Nü’s Spirit Transformation pills. The announcement spurred the Five Elements Sect’s disciples to pursue high-contribution missions, while E Yun reserved the best opportunities for his faction and left the branch sects competing over what remained.

• Qing Nü suggested making the Longevity Great Dao Pill available for a high number of Contribution Points, and Chen Mobai agreed to list it for 100 million points for deserving Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators.
• Chen Mobai expanded Qing Nü’s exchange list to include ingredients for three Fifth Order pill formulas and Sixth Order Spirit Materials, then chose Su Ziluo to negotiate with the Dao Virtue Sect and the Nine Heavens Demon Purging Sect.
• After learning that Qing Nü had achieved Spirit Transmutation, Su Ziluo traveled to meet her and received instructions for the negotiations before Qing Nü entered seclusion.
• E Yun received notice that the Longevity Great Dao Pill was available and arranged for his faction to claim the highest-contribution missions before other cultivators could take them.
• The pill’s listing energized Five Elements Sect disciples to accept high-value missions, and E Yun’s faction members, Mo Douguang, and Zhou Ye selected missions ahead of Zhou Wangshen and the Primordial Unity Dao Palace cultivators.
• Zhou Wangshen accused Mu Yuan of favoring the main sect, while the Primordial Unity Dao Palace cultivators fought over the few remaining missions and the Water Virtue Mountain Lord threatened to complain to Chen Mobai.

Chen Mobai created difficult Fourth Grade tasks to give Nascent Soul cultivators more ways to earn Contribution Points, while the Five Elements Sect prepared to recruit outsiders seeking the Longevity Great Dao Pill. After Starry Skies Dao Sect split apart, Chen Mobai and E Yun privately maneuvered around its former Dao Son Xinghuo, leaving Xinghuo to consider returning to Eastern Peak under a new identity.

• After Xiao Yuli complained that Fourth Grade tasks were scarce, Chen Mobai issued dozens of costly tasks involving expansion, trade, and land development, and Water Virtue Mountain Lord accepted work to afforest three commanderies.
• Chen Mobai learned that Rogue Cultivators and faction leaders had come to North Abyss City for the Five Elements Sect's Guest Elder exam, including Venerable Xinghuo and Xing Chen, who had brought disciples from one of Starry Skies Dao Sect's three splinter groups.
• Jiang Zongheng told Chen Mobai that Xinghuo had helped trigger Starry Skies Dao Sect's internal conflict after taking E Yun's ambiguous response as permission to join the Five Elements Sect.
• Chen Mobai privately directed Jiang Zongheng to speak with Xinghuo about Eastern Peak, and Jiang Zongheng and E Yun inferred that Xinghuo could reclaim the territory with covert support before eventually submitting to the Five Elements Sect.
• Three months later, Xinghuo failed the Guest Elder exam, and Jiang Zongheng hinted over drinks that he might have a better chance of Spirit Transmutation if he changed his identity.

Starfire learned that the Five Elements Sect might support his bid for a Spirit Transmutation Pill if he became sect master and brought Eastern Peak under its rule. Meanwhile, Chen Mobai prepared Tai Sui Boy to advance to Fifth Order, then toured familiar places with Qing Nü before heading to the Water Mansion where he had first arrived in the Eastern Wasteland.

• Xing Chen told Starfire that he needed to become the Starry Skies Dao Sect's sect master before he could gain the Five Elements Sect's support for a Spirit Transmutation Pill.
• E Yun hinted that the Five Elements Sect wanted the Starry Skies Dao Sect to submit peacefully, and Xing Chen realized the plan involved bringing all of Eastern Peak under the sect.
• Starfire returned to Eastern Peak with disciples, while Chen Mobai left Jiang Zongheng to handle the negotiations and prepared Tai Sui Boy to pursue Fifth Order.
• Chen Mobai purified Tai Sui Boy's remaining poisonous Baleful Intent, gave it Li Li's inner core, and sent it to Zhuo Ming for secluded cultivation at Panghuang Mountain.
• Chen Mobai took Qing Nü on a tour of familiar places, including Tianpeng Mountain, Giant Wood Ridge, and the Divine Tree Secret Realm, before heading to the Water Mansion.

Chen Mobai visited the Water Mansion with Qing Nü, where their quiet meal together prompted him to break through to Sixth Order Spiritual Sense and glimpse the Great Dao. He postponed entering Void Refinement and left with Qing Nü as preparations for her Spirit Transmutation Ceremony continued.

• Chen Mobai and Qing Nü revisited the Water Mansion, admired Liu Wenbai’s care of its jade bamboo, and shared a meal of Blood Jade Carp and bamboo shoots.
