Chapter Summaries

Song Chi acquired Fire Within Stone and fused it with his Skyfire into an incomplete Samadhi True Flame. He then joined Song Wujiang and Song Yan in secretly entering a Cosmic Secret Realm, where the three split up to search for resources.

• Zhou Ping offered Fire Within Stone for a Market Projection Token, but Song Chi rejected the deal and Zhou Ping exchanged it for a silver flying sword instead.
• Song Chi fused Fire Within Stone with his Skyfire using Rank 8 Overlord power, creating a gold-quality incomplete Samadhi True Flame that could be converted into a Kindling Seed Ascension Flame Source.
• Song Chi, Song Wujiang, and Song Yan used hidden warship avatars to reach Fire Serpent Floating Continent and locate a Cosmic Secret Realm entrance.
• More than one hundred warships entered the secret realm, and Song Chi's group slipped past the three Dreadnoughts guarding its entrance.
• After entering the vast secret realm, Song Wujiang ordered the three to split up and send any resources they found into the market through their Market Walker Tokens.

Song Chi discovered that Nightmare Soul Entities dropped gray crystals that could increase spiritual power, then spent two years hunting them and collecting resources. After preparing to face stronger foes, he reached the Nightmare Soul Continent and began attacking a seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Entity under the Bhasa Meditation Seal’s time-slowing domain.

• Song Chi learned that Violet Firmament lightning and the Soul-Annihilating Pupil Light Cannon could destroy the intangible gray creatures, which he identified as Nightmare Soul Entities.
• Song Chi absorbed a gray crystal and increased his divine thought strands from 160 to 161, then shared the discovery with his family.
• Over two years, Song Chi collected many gray crystals and used a seventh-rank one to raise his divine thought strands to 182.
• Song Chi traded high-rank soul resources for lightning-attribute Law Crystals and returned to the Fire Serpent Galaxy to prepare for stronger hunts.
• Song Chi entered the Nightmare Soul Continent, located a seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Entity, and slowed time around it before his charged attacks struck.

Song Chi used the Myriad Heavens Market projection to destroy a seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Body and collect its spoils, but an eighth-rank Nightmare Soul Body attacked and trapped the Mirror Battleship. Song Chi escaped with the Starlight Flash Spirit Escape trait and made two long jumps to safety.

• Song Chi's Violet Firmament lightning broke the seventh-rank Nightmare Soul Body's golden barrier, but the strikes did not kill it.
• An eighth-rank Nightmare Soul Body appeared and unleashed a shriek, so Song Chi summoned the Myriad Heavens Market projection, whose illusory palm obliterated the injured enemy.
• Song Chi collected a seventh-rank gray crystal, a golden Star Sea Marvel, and five strands of chaotic qi while the eighth-rank enemy closed in.
• The eighth-rank Nightmare Soul Body struck the Mirror Battleship with a gray suppression talisman, interrupting its jump and preventing its Flash Escape components from working.
• Song Chi activated the Starlight Flash Spirit Escape trait to bypass the restraint and flee just before the enemy's palm struck.
• Song Chi made two jumps across tens of thousands of light-years and finally reached a safe distance.

Song Chi acquired the Cosmic Secret-Pattern Energy Shield but stored it rather than replacing a trait on his current shield. After Song Chi, the ancestor, and Song Yan tracked down the concealed Lingyue Ruan Clan Star Destroyer, they exposed it with a coordinated attack and confirmed it was their target.

• Song Chi examined the golden Secret-Pattern Guardian, converted it into the Cosmic Secret-Pattern Energy Shield, and stored it for future use.
• Over five years, Song Chi collected gray crystals and attempted to enslave Nightmare Soul Entities, but abandoned the effort after one costly success.
• The ancestor and Song Yan summoned Song Chi to pursue the Lingyue Ruan Clan Star Destroyer, which had raided an eighth-tier Nightmare Soul Entity's nest and taken Chaos Energy.
• Song Chi upgraded the Neural Wave Remote Control System and used it to expand their search with six additional Void Shadow-Killer Clan Soldier Puppets.
• A soldier puppet detected spatial fluctuations above a forest, and Song Chi joined the ancestor and Song Yan to lock down the area and fire their main cannons.
• The coordinated attack forced the concealed Star Destroyer to reveal itself, and Song Chi and the others identified it as the Lingyue Ruan Clan's ship.

Song Wujiang forced King Guangnan to surrender chaos energy, a red Four Symbols Rotary Seal, a black peerless component, and two seventh-rank gray crystals, but the Lingyue Zhao Clan arrived before the group could escape. The Song Family’s three warship avatars self-destructed under the combined power of the Four Symbols Rotary Seal, leaving the Zhao Clan head grimly aware that their true bodies had survived.

• Song Wujiang demanded King Guangnan’s chaos energy and a red Four Symbols Rotary Seal, then ordered the three warships to attack when King Guangnan refused.
• After the bombardment crippled the Ruan Clan destroyer, King Guangnan agreed to the original terms, and Song Wujiang raised the price to include a black peerless component and two seventh-rank gray crystals.
• King Guangnan handed over the demanded items after his flagship’s defenses recovered, and the three Song Family warships removed their spatial blockades.
• The Lingyue Zhao Clan arrived and trapped the group, while King Guangnan activated the gold-quality Four Symbols Rotary Seal to link the four destroyers and strengthen them.
• Song Wujiang rejected using the Myriad Heavens Market projection, and Song Chi, Song Yan, and Song Wujiang self-destructed their three warship avatars rather than remain trapped.
• The Lingyue Zhao Clan head recognized that the destroyed warships were not the Song Family’s true bodies.

The Song Family inspected the Four Symbols Rotary Seal and Moonwheel Frostshadow Cannon they had obtained from the Guangnan King, while Song Chi used his Miracle Cloning Pod to duplicate Dual Differentiation so more family members could send out warship clones. The Four Symbols Rotary Seal’s full potential remained unclear until the next batch of seventh-rank Silver Apples ripened, and Song Chi received the Frostshadow Cannon for the Sky Ruins Firmament.

• Song Chi unloaded Song Wujiang’s Dual Differentiation component and cloned it with the Miracle Cloning Pod, creating two complete components for the family.
• Song Wujiang warned Song Xingru to keep her warship-clone missions secret so she would not expose the family.
• The Song Family allocated the second Dual Differentiation component among the Immovable Wisdom King, Purple Moon Longsong, Song Shixing, Song Shiyuan, and Song Xingru.
• Song Chi retrieved the spoils: two seventh-rank Gray Crystals, the Four Symbols Rotary Seal, the Moonwheel Frostshadow Cannon, and eighteen strands of Chaos Qi.
• The Song Family found the Four Symbols Rotary Seal’s listed boosts far weaker than the formation they had witnessed and decided to reassess it after the next seventh-rank Silver Apples ripened.
• Song Wujiang gave the Moonwheel Frostshadow Cannon to Song Chi, who planned to use its freezing effect aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament.

Song Chi and the Song Family completed the Four Symbols Rotary Seal’s silver evolution and restored the Dragonwhale Hall to its color mythic peak. The family celebrated its new foundation, then decided to keep the Hall’s full power secret and limit access to the previous hundred-member quota.

• Song Chi evolved the Four Symbols Rotary Seal to silver quality, and the family bound the Sky Ruins Firmament, Calm Sea Dragonrider, Immovable Wisdom King, and Flame-Boiling Sea into a Four Symbols cycle.
• Song Wujiang gathered the Song Family core members on Dragonspine Continent and used the collected Chaos Mist to restore the Dragonwhale Hall.
• The restoration succeeded, revealing the Dragonwhale Hall as a complete color mythic wonder with a new Dragonwhale Divine Temple effect.
• The Song Family tested the Hall and found that it could protect and gather up to three thousand elders, extend Ancient Whale Fall to one hundred thousand light-years, and defend elders across space.
• The Origin Ancestor warned that revealing the Hall’s quality could attract outside covetousness, so Song Wujiang kept the advancement secret and retained the previous quota of one hundred.

Song Wujiang announced that the Dragonwhale Hall had advanced to colored mythical quality and ordered its bound clansmen to keep the secret. More than twenty years later, Song Chi and four others raided the Withered Snake Floating Continent, where they broke into its eastern Snake Demon Sacred City and began slaughtering its defenders.

• Song Wujiang told the summoned Song Family clansmen that the Dragonwhale Hall had become a colored mythical artifact and warned them not to reveal the advancement.
• More than twenty years later, Song Wujiang, Song Chi, Song Xingru, Song Shiyuan, and Song Yan chose the Withered Snake Floating Continent as their target and broke its shield with a coordinated attack.
• Song Wujiang split the five warships into teams to attack three Snake Demon Sacred Cities and regroup at the central city.
• Song Chi used the Void-Breaking Cone to weaken the eastern city's shield, then joined Song Xingru in destroying it with a barrage.
• Song Chi summoned a berserk six-star ancient demon, which killed nearly all fifth- and sixth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons in the eastern city.

Song Chi and four Song Family members raided the Withered Snake and Desolate River Floating Continents, then spent a century looting more level-seven continents behind the advancing fleets. Their haul included a valuable Titanium Crystal Vein Core, which the family hoped to use if it gained control of the Crimson-Disk Galaxy.

• Song Chi and the others looted the Withered Snake Floating Continent before using Song Wujiang's artificial wormhole to reach the Desolate River Floating Continent and raid its sacred cities.
• The group tallied their gains, divided thousands of Eternal Stone Bricks and golden artifacts, and added silver artifacts to the Myriad Heavens Market's stockpile.
• Song Xingru found three excavated vein cores, including a Titanium Crystal Vein Core that could produce titanium crystals if fused into a suitable vein.
• Song Xuancang said the family could try to use the core in a titanium crystal vein in the Crimson-Disk Galaxy if they seized control of that region.
• Over the next hundred years, the five Song Family members looted more than ten level-seven floating continents, while the fleets largely tolerated their raids.

After a Tier Eight Serpent Demon wiped out the Song Family’s battleship avatars, Song Chi learned that the Xianqin Divine Dynasty was preparing an assault on the Tier Nine Demon Serpent Floating Continent and applied to join the expedition. He and the Song Family planned to continue gathering resources for two hundred years, then pause operations and await the Star Tower’s arrangements.

• King Wu'an and other fleet commanders failed to identify the team using Tier Eight methods, and their investigations fizzled out.
• Song Xingru and the Song Family celebrated the gains from more than a century of raids, though their battleship avatars had recently been destroyed by a concealed Tier Eight Serpent Demon Sovereign.
• Song Shiyuan warned Song Xingru to be more careful and consider distant battlefronts after hearing about the Serpent Demon encounter.
• Song Chi read Yaoguang Star Lord’s announcement that the Xianqin Divine Dynasty was attacking the Demon Serpent Floating Continent and that Yaoguang Star Tower members could apply to join a later expedition.
• Song Chi reviewed a list of rare resources from the floating continent, decided to use his Mirror Split Image to reduce the danger, and submitted an application.
• Song Chi informed the Song Family, and its members agreed to keep scavenging for two hundred years before suspending operations and awaiting news of the expedition.

Song Chi upgraded the Sky Ruins Firmament’s ram and evolved its Neutron Star Core Armor to black quality, then devised a plan to test whether the Soul-Devouring Altar could enhance copied components on the Mirror Battleship. During a new Myriad Heavens Market trade, he bought a suspicious sealed cube and postponed opening it until he could do so safely.

• Song Chi enhanced the Primordial Copper Mother Ram to level 80, giving the Sky Ruins Firmament powerful rams on both sides of its bow.
• Song Chi evolved the Neutron Star Core Armor to black quality, gaining Double Armor and several powerful defensive traits, and learned it could continue evolving by consuming Neutron Star Remnants.
• Song Chi realized that a fully progressed Soul-Devouring Altar might temporarily advance a designated component copied onto the Mirror Battleship, so he hunted Eight-Armed Serpent Demons to build its progress.
• Song Chi visited the Myriad Heavens Market’s reopened trade in disguise and spotted a purple cube whose seal suggested it had been placed by a formidable being.
• Song Chi bought the cube at the price of an ordinary purple oddity and decided to investigate it after trading, with the Sky Ruins Firmament and its Black Hole Domain ready to contain any danger.

Zhou Ping arrived at the Market Ruins gravely wounded and offered the Incomplete Creation Eight-Trigram Furnace in exchange for the Lord of the Market Ruins saving him and his sect master. Song Chi accepted the furnace, healed Zhou Ping, and took the frozen sect master aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament, hoping to use him to reach the Immortal Domain Continent.

• Zhou Ping appeared at the Market Ruins with severe injuries, and a Treefolk used its life energy to briefly stabilize him.
• Zhou Ping revealed that the frozen figure in his ice coffin was the Luofu Sword Sect master, who had been attacked alongside him while exploring a ruin.
• Zhou Ping offered the Incomplete Creation Eight-Trigram Furnace to the Lord of the Market Ruins in exchange for saving them both, and Song Chi accepted.
• Song Chi secretly brought Zhou Ping aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament, healed nearly all his injuries, and returned him to the Market Ruins.
• Song Chi kept the sect master aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament and considered using him to extend his reach to the Immortal Domain Continent.

Song Chi opened the purple Rubik’s Cube and safely fused the weakened data stream inside it with the Firmament Intelligent-Brain, uncovering information about the Truth Mechanical Civilization and its Eye of Truth. He set aside thoughts of pursuing the civilization for now and turned to investigating the Creation Bagua Furnace.

• Song Chi placed the gravely injured Luofu Sword Sect Master in the Life-System Medical Restoration Pod, postponing his plans until the man recovered.
• Song Chi eroded the purple Rubik’s Cube’s seal with Sovereign power, activated the Black Hole Domain, and weakened the data stream before allowing the Firmament Intelligent-Brain to absorb it.
• The Firmament Intelligent-Brain gained computing speed, database capacity, and new information, though its attribute panel said it needed to fuse with more mechanical intelligent brains to evolve.
• Song Chi learned that the Lord of Truth had belonged to the Truth Mechanical Civilization, lost a struggle against the Father of Truth, and left behind coordinates, Truth Mechanical Behemoth manufacturing information, and details about the Eye of Truth.
• Song Chi decided not to explore the Truth Mechanical Civilization yet, though he remained interested in acquiring the Eye of Truth, and began considering whether the Creation Bagua Furnace consumed wonders fused into it.

Song Chi tested the Creation Bagua Furnace’s pill-making abilities after enhancing it to level 80, measuring the fireseed costs and testing the effects on a sixth-rank Calamity Star Clan member and himself. He confirmed the value of the Essence Marrow Pill and the limited usefulness of the other pills to him, while leaving the Life-Reforming Creation Pill untested for lack of gold fireseed.

• Song Chi enhanced the Creation Bagua Furnace to level 80 and found that its higher-rank pill batches produced more pills.
• Song Chi used a silver fireseed to refine Essence Marrow Pills, discovered that the fireseed dimmed by about one-thirtieth per batch, and confirmed that three silver fireseeds could refine thirty batches of Soul-Nourishing Pills.
• Song Chi gave an Essence Marrow Pill and a Soul-Nourishing Pill to a sixth-rank Calamity Star Clan member, confirmed it endured both, and then found that the Essence Marrow Pill greatly boosted his Dark Energy absorption while the Soul-Nourishing Pill had little effect on him.
• Song Chi used the Red Wheel Flame to refine six Blood-Spirit Ascension Pills and found that their benefits were limited for him and that the gold fireseed dimmed by one-tenth.
• Song Chi considered testing the Life-Reforming Creation Pill but postponed it because he lacked enough gold fireseed wonders.

Song Chi healed Zhang Lingxuan and used the secrets of the Immortal Domain Civilization to persuade him to become a Walker of Myriad Heavens, gaining a means to explore the Immortal Domain Continent Ruins. Half a month later, Zhang Lingxuan returned to the Market, restoring the Luofu Sword Sect's morale and deepening its customers' faith in the Lord of the Market.

• Song Chi reduced the Essence Marrow Pill's cooldown, then raised his Guidance Art to lv68 through intensive cultivation.
• After Zhang Lingxuan awoke in the medical pod, Song Chi explained the fall and self-exile of the Immortal Domain Civilization and listened to the Luofu Sword Sect Master's account of exploring its ruins.
• Zhang Lingxuan offered the Luofu Sword Sect's service to Song Chi, who presented him with a choice between becoming a Walker of Myriad Heavens or obtaining a Market Projection Token without a contract.
• Zhang Lingxuan chose to become a Walker, signed Song Chi's contract, and received a Market Projection Token and a Projection Imperial Stone for use in the Immortal Domain Continent Ruins.
• At the next Market trading, Zhou Ping and the other customers saw that Zhang Lingxuan had recovered, while the Luofu Sword Sect gained hope and the customers grew more determined to seek the Lord of the Market's help.

Zhang Lingxuan led the Luofu Sword Sect back to the Immortal Domain Continent, where three sects ambushed them to seize a black pill furnace. He summoned the master of the Myriad Heavens Market, who killed the attackers, and Zhang then used the Projection Imperial Stone to bring a warship into reality.

• Zhang Lingxuan announced that the Luofu Sword Sect would return to the Immortal Domain Continent despite his elders’ objections.
• The Luofu Sword Sect sent more than two hundred cultivators through the Ascension Platform, and the Taiyi Immortal Sect, Purple Firmament Sect, and Heart Demon Sect ambushed them after they arrived.
• Yin Li revealed himself as a Heart Demon Sect traitor, and Zhang Lingxuan activated the Market Projection Token to summon the master of the Myriad Heavens Market.
• The market projection killed the three True Immortal attackers, while Song Chi noted that he would later retrieve their corpses for their valuable resources.
• Zhang Lingxuan used the Projection Imperial Stone to turn a warship phantom into a real vessel, from which a gray figure emerged.

Song Chi established a concealed base deep within the Immortal Domain Continent after discovering that its origin will suppressed ordinary jumps. The Destiny Compass revealed the locations of its missing piece and the other half of the Taiyi Quantum Sword-Light Cannon, while his attempt to trace Fire Within Wood failed.

• Song Chi displayed his three seventh-rank enslaved creatures to Zhang Lingxuan, restored the uses of his Market Projection Token, and sent him away.
• After the Myriad Heavens Market projection vanished, Song Chi used a standard jump and discovered that the Immortal Domain Continent’s origin will had reduced its distance to just over a hundred light-years.
• Song Chi used a Crimson Firmament Jump to travel more than sixty thousand light-years, then concealed a cavern base with an illusion device and nuclear-energy shield.
• Song Chi left a sixth-rank Calamity Star Clan member and the Nightmare Soul Entity at the base to support future exploration by Mirror Battleships.
• Song Chi found that the Destiny Compass’s missing portion lay more than fifteen million light-years away, and his Compass Origins trait did not locate any Fire Within Wood.
• Song Chi used Compass Origins on the Taiyi Quantum Sword-Light Cannon and discovered that its missing half, a gold marvel, was just over eight hundred thousand light-years away.

Song Chi sent a Mirror Battleship across the dangerous Immortal Domain Continent to retrieve the other half of the Boundless Sword Stone, while avoiding direct travel himself. After the battleship returned the golden Immortal-Trapping Sword Stone, it fused with the Taiyi Quantum Sword-Light Cannon and transformed it into a black-quality Infinite Immortal-Trapping Quantum Planet-Slayer Cannon.

• Song Chi harvested a fully matured seventh-rank Time Realm Fruit from the cultivation secret realm.
• Song Chi created a Mirror Battleship in the Immortal Domain Continent and assigned the replicated Skyvault AI to retrieve the other half of the Boundless Sword Stone.
• A year later, a sixth-rank Calamity Star Clan member reported that hostile Immortal Domain Remnants had slowed the Mirror Battleship's journey and threatened it with powerful attacks.
• Song Chi gave the Calamity Star Clan member a black Projection Imperial Stone and continued supporting the Mirror Battleship from the Myriad Heavens Market.
• After another half year, the Mirror Battleship obtained the other half of the Boundless Sword Stone, identified as a golden Immortal-Trapping Sword Stone.
• Song Chi fused the Immortal-Trapping Sword Stone with the Taiyi Quantum Sword-Light Cannon, transforming it into a black-quality Infinite Immortal-Trapping Quantum Planet-Slayer Cannon.

Song Chi examined the evolved Infinite Immortal-Trapping Quantum Planet-Slayer Cannon and failed to use it to locate the other immortal sword wonders. Meanwhile, the Song and Luo Families negotiated with the Radiant Han families to secure Crimson-Disk Galaxy, while Song Wujiang offered wormhole access in exchange for their cooperation.

• Song Chi inspected the cannon’s powerful traits and wondered whether its quality marker pointed to a set of four immortal swords, but the Destiny Compass found no trace of the other components.
• Song Chi asked the replicated Skyvault AI to search for the other Destiny Compass component, while the growing allied fleet in Flame Serpent Galaxy reduced each family’s share of the spoils.
• Song Wujiang proposed that the Song and Luo Families ally with the three Radiant Han families to conquer Flame Serpent Floating Continent and use their claim to negotiate for the rest of Crimson-Disk Galaxy.
• Song Chi told the family group about the Immortal Domain Continent ruins, but Song Wujiang recommended prioritizing the civilization battlefield and securing Crimson-Disk Galaxy first.
• Song Wujiang and Luo Yi offered the Radiant Han families territory exchanges and wormhole access, and Liu Shu requested an additional wormhole opportunity for each of the three families.

Song Wujiang negotiated the Song Family’s share of the Crimson-Disk Galaxy and joined forces with Luo Yi’s group to conquer the Flame Serpent Floating Continent. After the Crimson-Disk Galaxy was secured, the Song Family opened a wormhole there and began preparing to leave the Sky-Disk Galaxy.

• Song Wujiang agreed to open six wormholes for the Radiant Han Kingdom’s immortal forces in exchange for three Bodhi Enlightenment Fruits, while the Song and Luo Families arranged their shares of the Crimson-Disk Galaxy.
• Song Wujiang and Luo Yi’s group used five Star Destroyers and three Overlord-class creatures to deter the Lingyue Zhao Clan patriarch and help conquer the Flame Serpent Floating Continent.
• The Song Family discovered high-tier resources in a Serpent Demon Holy City, and Song Chi received a share of them along with a Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit.
• The Song and Luo Families completed the handover of the Crimson-Disk Galaxy, dividing its richest region and floating continents between them.
• The Calm Sea Dragonrider opened a wormhole from Dragonspine Continent to the Crimson-Disk Continent, and Song Xuancang ordered the Song Family to prepare for migration out of the Sky-Disk Galaxy.
• The Song Family, Chigu Luo Clan, and their affiliated forces mobilized their industries and ordinary members to begin large-scale interstellar migrations.
