Chapter Summary: Wandering the Primordial World

Key Plot Points and Events

• A Human Race patrol led by Luo Qing, an early Profound Immortal, encounters a powerful Late Profound Immortal Wolf Demon outside Trade City.
• Luo Qing orders his nine Heavenly Immortal soldiers to form Three Talents Formations, temporarily raising their strength to the Profound Immortal level. However, their lack of battle experience leaves them unable to seriously injure the demon.
• The Wolf Demon transforms into a giant wolf, breaks their formation, and nearly overwhelms them. Luo Qing uses a shield and ice techniques to defend the group, but the demon’s black wind nearly destroys their defenses.
• Nearby Human Race patrols arrive in time. Three additional captains coordinate lightning, ice, and fire attacks with the original squad, eventually wearing down and killing the Wolf Demon.
• Similar battles occur throughout the region. Human casualties increase, marking the Human Race’s first large-scale unnatural deaths, but surviving warriors steadily gain combat experience and become capable of defeating demons of equal or even higher realms.
• Jiang He learns of the casualties and accepts them as necessary trials. He focuses instead on improving the Human Race’s weapons, defenses, cultivation systems, and access to powerful techniques.
• Ling’er explains that completed Small Worlds can be merged into Lesser Thousand Worlds. These worlds may develop stronger cultivation paths and eventually allow talented inhabitants to “ascend” into the Primordial World, creating a future supply of powerful Human Race experts.
• With Trade City established, most outside spies withdraw. The surrounding demons are mostly local races whose strongest members are Golden Immortals or Profound Immortals, while stronger demon experts have been recruited into the Heavenly Court.
• Jiang He leaves Human Race territory and travels toward Buzhou Mountain. Along the way, he encounters savage beasts, weak races, valuable spirit plants, and magical treasures, while fighting numerous dangerous opponents.

• Ling’er provides crucial strategic insight by revealing the potential of merging Small Worlds and creating an ascension system.

Significant Themes

• Growth through adversity: The Human Race suffers severe losses, but combat experience transforms its warriors and steadily improves their strength.
• Collective cooperation: The patrols survive because multiple squads coordinate their abilities rather than attempting to fight the stronger demon individually.
• Preparation versus dependence: Jiang He cannot protect everyone forever; the Human Race must develop its own offensive, defensive, and cultivation capabilities.
• Potential of inherited knowledge: Systematic cultivation methods, martial arts, and spell traditions give the Human Race an advantage over demon beasts that possess greater physical strength but lack organized inheritances.
• Ascension and long-term development: Evolving Small Worlds into Lesser Thousand Worlds offers a way to cultivate exceptional talents and replenish the Human Race’s strength over time.

• The chapter explains the Martial Arts Academy’s strict graduation requirements. Students must reach the Taiyi Realm and return with a valuable Spirit Plant. This rule was created to prevent young prodigies from recklessly exploring the Primordial World.
• The success of former student Fei Xuanqi—who obtained the Five Needle Pine, reached the Taiyi Realm, and became an honorary elder and Imperial Guard Commandant—motivated later students to seek spiritual roots and treasures.
• Lin Xuan reached the Taiyi Realm with the aid of treasures purchased by his family. During an expedition with the Lin Family, he detected the Immortal Apricot Tree and rushed ahead, attempting to claim it before the others.
• Lin Xuan engages Ye Sha in close combat. Though initially dominant, he is gradually pressured as Ye Sha’s killing intent intensifies and his saber becomes faster and heavier.

• Yan Ye is revealed to be cowardly and self-preserving, abandoning his companions as soon as reinforcements arrive.

Chapter Summary: “First Battle with the Asura Race”

• In Luo Shui City, Lin Xuan submits the Immortal Apricot Tree and a recording of the battle to the Martial Arts Academy. He receives ten fruits, one hundred thousand Red Dust Points, one million Spirit Stones, and the opportunity to serve as a Yajiang in one of the Four Great Legions.

Character Developments

• Lin Xuan demonstrates a major gap between himself and his relatives. While Lin Haifeng and the other Lin Clan members struggle against Ye Sha, Lin Xuan calmly analyzes the battle and defeats the Asura through powerful sword, earth, and mountain techniques.
• Lin Xuan shows increasing confidence and combat maturity. He recognizes that Ye Sha is not an ordinary Taiyi Realm opponent and understands that relying on a single weapon is dangerous.
• Lin Haifeng is humbled by the failure of the Demon Extermination Cannon. His previous success against a Taiyi Realm Demon had caused him to overestimate the weapon and underestimate the complexity of Taiyi Realm cultivators.

Significant Themes

• Strength cannot be judged by appearances: Ye Sha seems weak only because he is recovering from a self-destructive technique. His true power is far greater.
• The complexity of cultivation: Reaching the Taiyi Realm involves mastering three laws and forming Dao Fruits, meaning no single countermeasure can reliably defeat every opponent.
• Experience versus overconfidence: Lin Haifeng’s confidence in the Demon Extermination Cannon comes from one fortunate victory, while Lin Xuan’s strength comes from repeated battles and careful understanding of different abilities.
• Human expansion and moral ambiguity: Humans view themselves as treasure hunters defending themselves from hostile demons, while the Demon Race sees them as violent invaders who strip resources and kill for Demon Cores.
• Information as a resource: The Human Race rewards discoveries and recorded battle data through Red Dust Points, making knowledge, intelligence, and contributions to collective development highly valuable.
• Power and restraint: Jiang He’s rules against indiscriminate demon slaughter reflect concern that excessive violence could cause the Primordial World’s living beings to turn against humanity.

• Lin Xuan urges his uncle to leave quickly because their battle has attracted too much attention, showing his awareness of the broader dangers beyond the immediate fight.
