Chapter Summaries

Hua Yunfei, Ru Hua, and the World True Spirit of the Dao Evolution Realm pressed deeper into the Abyss of Nothingness toward the source of a mysterious breathing, despite the black phoenix heading there as well. They passed through a field of strangely animated skeletons and drew close to the source, where something ahead left all three pale with fear.

• The black phoenix swallowed Sen Ming Immortal Emperor's head and blasted Hua Yunfei, Ru Hua, and the World True Spirit of the Dao Evolution Realm far off course.
• Hua Yunfei refused to turn back, and the three continued toward the breathing that had coincided with the black phoenix's rampage.
• As the Abyss's devouring force intensified, Ru Hua's power began to run out, so the World True Spirit of the Dao Evolution Realm gave her a bag of potent recovery pills.
• The group encountered headless Immortal Emperor skeletons with faint awareness, and Hua Yunfei concluded that something had bestowed awareness upon them.
• Ru Hua spotted countless wandering skeletons, including those of Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and the three cautiously passed through them under their protective barriers.
• Hua Yunfei sensed that they were close to the breathing's source, but what appeared ahead made all three turn pale with fear.

Hua Yunfei, Ru Hua, and the Dao Evolution Realm's World True Spirit crossed hordes of Quasi-Hegemon Level monsters in the Abyss of Nothingness. Beyond them, Hua Yunfei found the source of the breathing and recognized the blood-soaked woman as Qing'er.

• Hua Yunfei and his companions discovered tens of thousands of Quasi-Hegemon Level monsters and debated whether to turn back.
• Hua Yunfei chose to continue, and the three carefully slipped through the first monster horde using their runestone and fragment.
• Ru Hua spotted the Nine-headed Black Phoenix among a second horde, with an even stronger group of nearly a thousand creatures beyond it.
• The three passed through the remaining hordes and reached a darker abyss where they could see the source of the breathing.
• Hua Yunfei saw a blood-soaked woman sitting with her back to him and softly asked whether she was Qing'er.

Hua Yunfei discovered that his dead disciple Chu Qing'er had guarded a Golden Ancient Coffin, which held a being powerful enough to create countless Quasi-Hegemon Level monsters. The coffin tried to break free, but Chu Qing'er's corpse joined the four magic weapons and bronze chains in suppressing it, leaving Hua Yunfei to confront the scale of her sacrifice.

• Hua Yunfei recognized Chu Qing'er’s corpse and explained that she was his disciple from a different timeline.
• Hua Yunfei, Ru Hua, and the Dao Evolution Realm's World True Spirit found a Golden Ancient Coffin bound by bronze chains and suppressed by four familiar magic weapons.
• Hua Yunfei and his companions realized the being inside the coffin was likely the true master of the Quasi-Hegemon Level monsters.
• The Golden Ancient Coffin began pounding against its restraints, and the four magic weapons and bronze chains flared to hold it down.
• Chu Qing'er's corpse summoned an ancient Chaos Sea that helped suppress the coffin until it fell silent.
• The Dao Evolution Realm's World True Spirit warned Hua Yunfei to stay calm, since revealing themselves could get them killed.

Hua Yunfei realized Chu Qing'er had summoned him to reinforce the seal on the Golden Ancient Coffin, but its prisoner was breaking free and taunting him. He sent Ru Hua and the World True Spirit away, then activated his Overlord-level Trial Card to confront the creature.

• Hua Yunfei watched Chu Qing'er’s corpse and the four artifacts struggle to suppress the Golden Ancient Coffin as its lid began to shift.
• Hua Yunfei concluded that Chu Qing'er had called him to strengthen the seal, and the system confirmed his guess with a sealing task.
• One bronze chain snapped, then three more, while Chu Qing'er was wounded and the remaining chains strained to hold the coffin shut.
• The creature inside the Golden Ancient Coffin sensed Hua Yunfei, mocked his strength, and revealed that it had slain the Kaoshan Sect's ancestor's wife.
• Hua Yunfei sent Ru Hua and the World True Spirit of the Dao Evolution Realm into the Primordial God Realm, crushed his golden card, and challenged the creature to show its strength.

Hua Yunfei used an Overlord-level Trial Card to reach Hegemon Grade and challenged the being sealed in the Golden Ancient Coffin, but learned that he still could not defeat him. He summoned the Old Ancestor through Kaoshan Sect’s Heaven-Covering Formation, and the ancestor’s appearance shook Immortal Heaven as Hua Yunfei prepared to continue the fight.

• Hua Yunfei’s Trial Card raised his cultivation and Glazed Pagoda to Hegemon Grade, and he charged the Golden Ancient Coffin.
• The coffin’s occupant struck Hua Yunfei with a powerful aura, but Hua Yunfei crushed the attack and returned unharmed after testing his strength.
• The being mocked Hua Yunfei as a mere stand-in, and Hua Yunfei declared that he was himself before calling out, “Old Ancestor Possession!”

• The man in white revealed that some of the people whose despair Immortal Heaven remembered had been impostors, and he ordered Immortal Heaven to fight his successor.
• Hua Yunfei told the ancestor to leave the rest to him and vowed to beat Immortal Heaven into submission.

Hua Yunfei borrowed Ancestor Master's power and entered the Golden Ancient Coffin to fight Immortal Heaven. He subdued the weakened captive, who warned that Hua Yunfei did not understand the truth, but Hua Yunfei vowed that Kaoshan Sect would one day reign supreme over the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Hua Yunfei resealed Immortal Heaven and reunited with the Broken Mirror and War Halberd, who told him about Qing'er and the weapons that had perished with her. He brought the two surviving weapons out of the Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven, while the wider conflict between Kaoshan Sect and its enemies remained ahead.

• Hua Yunfei reforged Immortal Heaven's chains, infused one with a Primordial Crystal, and forced Immortal Heaven into sleep.
• Hua Yunfei secured the Golden Ancient Coffin and reunited with the Broken Mirror and War Halberd, thanking them for enduring through the years.

He comforted Chu Qing'er and agreed to a wish conveyed by her fading will, just as a check-in task completion notification appeared.

• Hua Yunfei refused the system's request for a photo book of Yue Yunshang but agreed to obtain one of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in exchange for an Ancestor Master Trial Card.
