Chapter Summaries

Zi Yu taught Purple Abyss to control his strength, then found that the women in his Inner World had completed their seclusion with greatly increased cultivation. After they reunited with their family, Nangong Xianyin and Shatian detected an approaching late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng whose identity Zi Yu began to suspect.

• Zi Yu healed Purple Abyss with Heavenly Crystal Spirit Dew and, the next day, taught him to use his power until Purple Abyss had mostly mastered it.

• Nangong Xianyin sensed a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng approaching, while Shatian sent Zi Yu information that helped him guess the newcomer's identity.

• Zi Yu brought Gu Xun'er, Nangong Xianyin, and Sha Tian before Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan reunited with his long-lost daughter, Gu Xun'er, but she remained close to Zi Yu rather than rushing to embrace him. Gu Yuan then tried to persuade Zi Yu to marry into the Gu Clan by promising abundant cultivation resources, unaware of how wealthy Zi Yu already was.

• Gu Yuan recognized Gu Xun'er as his missing daughter, but she stayed beside Zi Yu, uneasy that her father might separate them.

• Gu Yuan offered to approve Zi Yu and Gu Xun'er's marriage if Zi Yu married into the Gu Clan.
• Gu Yuan promised Zi Yu top-grade pills, Heaven Tier techniques, and other resources, while Nangong Xianyin and Sha Tian found the offer amusing given Zi Yu's wealth.

Zi Yu rejected Gu Yuan’s attempt to lure him and Gu Xun'er back to the Gu Clan, and Gu Xun'er promised to attend the clan’s coming-of-age ceremony in three years. Several days later, Zi Yu prepared to travel to the Central Plains and visited Jia Nan Academy’s Outer Court, where he reunited with Ruo Lin.

• Several days later, Zi Yu planned to take the women to the Central Plains, stopped in the Black Corner Region, and went to Jia Nan Academy’s Outer Court, where Ruo Lin was sitting in a courtyard.

Ruo Lin reunited with Zi Yu, who told her he would travel to the Central Continent in a month and brought her to meet his Purple Dragon Guard. Seeing the Black Corner Region's notorious figures obey him, Ruo Lin realized Zi Yu was behind the region’s recent changes.

• Su Qian explained that Ye Zhong was an old acquaintance and said Zi Yu could decide whether to help.

Zi Yu refused Ye Xinlan’s plea to help the declining Ye Clan, telling her its members had to improve themselves. Meanwhile, Hun Miesheng found the location of Xun Er but was killed by Killing Heaven before he could reach her.

• Zi Yu explained the Ye Clan’s decline to Ye Xinlan and rejected her offers of clan resources and information about Heavenly Flames.
• Ye Xinlan knelt and begged Zi Yu to help, but he said the clan’s members had to solve their own problems; then he left with Su Qian’s permission.
• Hun Miesheng and the Third Heavenly Venerable located the courtyard where the Gu Clan’s Little Princess was staying in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
• Killing Heaven ambushed Hun Miesheng and his subordinates, killing them before they could react.
• Killing Heaven identified the attackers as members of the Soul Clan, destroyed their bodies, and disappeared.

Zi Yu returned to the Jia Ma Empire, where Ya Fei gave birth to their daughter, Qing Fei. After Sha Tian reported destroying Hun Miesheng and Soul Hall’s forces, Zi Yu discovered an ancient Dou Di treasure map and received new system rewards.

• Before leaving the Outer Court, Zi Yu used Merit Points and cultivation resources to help Ruo Lin reach Dou Zun, unaware that she would later give birth to his daughter.

• Zi Yu found an ancient treasure map among the looted Storage Rings and received a Myriad Worlds Dou Sheng Summoning Card, three Purple Phoenix Holy Pearls, and a Glazed Saintess Canon from the system.

Zi Yu brought his companions to the Sacred Evolution Palace headquarters in the Central Plains and assessed the organization’s growth. He rewarded its leaders with Heavenly Spirit Essence Crystals, leaving Feng Xian convinced of Zi Yu’s overwhelming power.

• After hearing about the Glazed Saintess Canon, Zi Yu put the reward away and set off for the Central Plains with the women a month later.

• Zi Yu judged the palace’s strength inadequate compared with the hidden Ancient Races and gave Heavenly Spirit Essence Crystals to the assembled upper ranks, excluding Gu Lei and Yao Chen.
• Zi Yu explained that the crystals could improve talent and raise cultivation, and the crowd reacted with shock at their power.
• Feng Xian sensed the crystals’ immense energy and lost his remaining misgivings about Zi Yu.

Yao Chen asked Zi Yu for cultivation treasures for Hua Qing and Xuan Yi, and Zi Yu rewarded them with rare methods and artifacts. Zi Yu then spent more than eighteen million Merit Points to expand and transform the Star Realm, leaving it with new regions and facilities for the palace.

• Yao Chen asked Zi Yu to use his reward to help Hua Qing and Xuan Yi improve their cultivation.

After Zi Yu transformed the Star Realm, the Soul Clan sent Hun Dan and Hun Qiu to take control of the weakened Soul Hall. Hun Dan and Hun Qiu debated how to deal with the Sacred Evolution Palace while avoiding a conflict that could unite the other Ancient Races.

• Hun Qiu reminded Hun Dan that the Soul Clan had nearly been destroyed in its war against Xiao Xuan, prompting Hun Dan to ask how they should proceed.
• Hun Dan warned that the Sacred Evolution Palace could grow stronger if Soul Hall did not act, while Hun Qiu weighed the risk of provoking the other Ancient Races.

• Hun Dan proposed gathering Soul Hall forces to destroy the Sacred Evolution Palace and capture Yao Chen, and Hun Qiu agreed while urging careful planning.
• Hun Dan dismissed the possibility that Yao Chen could recruit enough powerful Dou Saints or that the Pill Tower would intervene, unaware of the Sacred Evolution Palace’s true strength and leader.

Han Xue’s party was ambushed by powerful bandits, and Han Ping’s attempt to buy her time with a self-detonation was stopped by their wind-attributed leader. With most of the Han Clan guards killed or captured, Han Xue prepared to fight to the death using the Heaven Tier Ice Phoenix Sacred Canon.
