Chapter Summaries

The Second King Hall merged with the Statue of the Demon Emperor and gained temporary Ancestor Realm power. Xiao Long warned his allies not to attack and left them to defend until the Second King Hall’s power ran out.

• The Ice Master asked Xiao Long whether they should destroy the Demon Emperor before he fully took shape, but Xiao Long rejected the idea.
• The Second King Hall merged with the Statue of the Demon Emperor, giving it flesh and blood and greatly increasing its size.
• The Second King Hall boasted that his new power would let him kill everyone, while Xiao Long judged that it was only a fraction of the Demon Emperor’s strength.
• Xiao Long told the Seven Masters and the others to defend rather than attack, so their attacks would not be absorbed and turned against the seal left by the Symbol Ancestor.
• The others agreed to hold on until the Second King Hall’s temporary power ran out.

Xiao Long used a warship to evade Second King Hall’s attacks while the Seven Masters followed his lead and avoided fighting. Outside the Xuantian Continent, the Demonic Emperor grew furious as Second King Hall failed to finish his task, with the Demonic Emperor close to entering the continent but at risk of being blocked for a thousand years.

• The Sheng Xuan Realm, Death Profound Realm, and Nirvana Realm cultivators scattered after the demon army was wiped out, leaving Second King Hall as the remaining threat.
• Xiao Long entered a pitch-black warship and evaded Second King Hall’s attack, which blasted a thousand-mile crater into the ground.
• Second King Hall repeatedly attacked Xiao Long but failed to harm him, then angrily challenged the others to fight.
• The Seven Masters ignored Second King Hall’s taunts and followed Xiao Long’s instructions to evade his attacks.
• The Demonic Emperor berated Second King Hall from outside the Xuantian Continent and worried that failure to break the Symbol Ancestor’s seal would keep him out for a thousand years.

Second King Hall sacrificed himself to attack the Symbol Ancestor's seal, but his explosion left it intact. As Xiao Long and the others watched, the seal began to shake under the Demonic Emperor's assault from the other side.

• Second King Hall admitted his failure to the Demonic Emperor and fled toward the Demonic Domain as Xiao Long and the Seven Masters pursued him.
• Second King Hall reached the Symbol Ancestor's seal and self-destructed to try to break it.
• Xiao Long and the Seven Masters saw that Second King Hall's explosion had not damaged the seal and briefly relaxed.
• Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint noticed the seal trembling, and Xiao Long realized the Demonic Emperor was attacking it from beyond.

Xiao Long and the others struggled to stop the Demonic Emperor from breaking the Symbol Ancestor’s seal. After they nearly sealed the crack, the Demonic Emperor warned that he would break through within two years and invade Xuantian Continent.

• The Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint and the Space Lord noticed a crack in the seal where the Second King Hall had self-destructed.
• Xiao Long used the Space Ancestor Talisman to repair the crack while the Space Lord and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint helped, but the Demonic Emperor’s attacks kept it open.
• Xiao Long called on the Six Lords for help, and Ying Huanhuan brought out the Ice Ancestor Talisman to reinforce the seal.
• The Six Lords helped fend off the Demonic Emperor’s attacks, allowing Xiao Long and the others to gain the upper hand and nearly seal the crack.
• The Demonic Emperor threatened to break the seal within two years and invade Xuantian Continent.

Xiao Long revealed that the Symbol Ancestor and the Demonic Emperor came from rival higher worlds to search for an item that could greatly increase their power. He left the others with the possibility that the item and the Symbol Ancestor’s origins held a path to reaching the Ancestor Realm before the Demonic Emperor descended.

• The Lord of Life and Death and Ying Huanhuan wondered whether they had to risk creating a half-Ancestor and sacrificing themselves to make another Symbol Ancestor.
• Xiao Long returned from inspecting the spatial rift and said he knew a way to reach the Ancestor Realm.
• The Flame Master warned that even Ying Huanhuan’s exceptional talent had not let her break through after thousands of years.
• Xiao Long explained that the Symbol Ancestor came from the Great Thousand World, while the Demonic Emperor came from the rival Extraterrestrial Demon Realm.
• Xiao Long said both had come to Xuantian Continent seeking an item that could greatly increase their strength, but the Symbol Ancestor had sought it peacefully while the Demonic Emperor had tried to seize it through invasion and demonization.

Xiao Long told the Seven Masters that the Plane Embryo could help him reach the Ancestor Realm and defeat the Demonic Emperor, then went to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace to seek it. After three months of failed cultivation, he realized finding it would not be easy.

• Xiao Long revealed that the Symbol Ancestor and the Demonic Emperor had fought over the Plane Embryo but neither had obtained it.
• Xiao Long told the Seven Masters that the Plane Embryo could let him reach the Ancestor Realm, then urged them to search by sensing the heavens and earth.
• Xiao Long went to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, seized Gong Wuqing, and carried her to her private chambers.
• Xiao Long forced the Perception Art out of Gong Wuqing and spent three months cultivating, but sensed nothing.
• Xiao Long concluded that the Plane Embryo was difficult to find and reflected that Mu Chen had found it easily because his world and its Plane Embryo had been contaminated.

Xiao Long found that he could not locate the Plane Embryo with his own abilities and bought the Spirit Seizing Artifact using over a hundred thousand Exchange Points. The artifact required him to sense the Plane Embryo’s aura, so he turned to Gong Wuqing and Ling Qingzhu, who might be close to it through their cultivation of the Supreme Induction Technique.

• Xiao Long concluded that even an Ancestor Realm expert would struggle to find the Plane Embryo, and that his origins from another world made the task harder.
• Xiao Long decided to restart the system after realizing the Supreme Induction Technique was unlikely to help him.
• The system offered Xiao Long a Spirit Seizing Artifact, which could seize a world’s Plane Embryo but required him to sense its aura first.
• Xiao Long paid over a hundred thousand Exchange Points for the artifact, then grew discouraged when he realized he had no trace of the Plane Embryo’s aura.
• Xiao Long remembered Gong Wuqing and considered her and her disciple, Ling Qingzhu, likely to be closest to the Plane Embryo.

Xiao Long teased the captured Gong Wuqing and tried to persuade her to stay with him, hoping to gain insight into the Plane Embryo through her. He planned to use that insight to reach the Ancestor Realm and pursue Ling Qingzhu afterward.

• Xiao Long kept Gong Wuqing's cultivation sealed while allowing her to move freely.
• Xiao Long flirted with Gong Wuqing and suggested they go to bed together.
• Gong Wuqing angrily told Xiao Long to get lost, then realized he had twisted her words into an apparent agreement.
• Xiao Long promised to cherish Gong Wuqing and proposed that they pursue the Immortal Great Dao together.
• Xiao Long sought Gong Wuqing's insight into the Plane Embryo so he could advance to the Ancestor Realm, and planned to pursue Ling Qingzhu afterward.

After spending a day with Gong Wuqing, Xiao Long discovered that her connection to the Plane Embryo had given the Ju Ling Qi enough power to activate. He left her chambers and used the artifact in a quiet place, calling for the Plane Embryo.

• Xiao Long made love with Gong Wuqing for an entire day.
• The next morning, Xiao Long found that the Ju Ling Qi could be activated because Gong Wuqing had received a small portion of the Plane Embryo's power.
• Xiao Long left Gong Wuqing's chambers while she remained behind and watched him go.
• Xiao Long poured his power into the Ju Ling Qi and called for the Plane Embryo.
• The Ju Ling Qi released a powerful suction force that absorbed neither spiritual energy nor objects.

Xiao Long absorbed the Plane Embryo into the Ju Ling Qi and began contaminating it so he could control its power. As the barrier around Xuantian Continent neared collapse and the Seven Masters found no way to create an Ancestor Realm expert, everyone worried about the approaching demons and Xiao Long’s whereabouts.

• Xiao Long began contaminating the Plane Embryo inside the Ju Ling Qi to make it obey him.
• The spatial rift above Xuantian Continent widened as the Space Ancestor Talisman struggled to hold back the Demon Emperor and the demons.

• The Dark Lord wondered where Xiao Long had gone, while Ying Huanhuan urged everyone to trust him.
• Medusa complained that Xiao Long had been away from home for months, and Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others worried about him.

After four months of seclusion, Xiao Long used the Plane Embryo to reach the Ancestor Realm and returned to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. He found Gong Wuqing, who had been brooding over his disappearance and had begun approaching the Reincarnation Realm, and she was stunned by how powerful he had become.

• Xiao Xun'er tried to comfort Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian as they worried about Xiao Long facing the Demonic Emperor.
• Xiao Long emerged from seclusion after four months, reached the Ancestor Realm, and declared that ordinary Ancestor Realm experts in the Xuantian Continent could not defeat him.
• Gong Wuqing had handed the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace’s affairs to the First Elder and entered supposed seclusion, eventually touching the Reincarnation Realm bottleneck.
• Xiao Long returned to the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace with Ling Qingzhu and asked Gong Wuqing what she was thinking.
• Gong Wuqing struggled to speak and could no longer see through Xiao Long’s strength.

Xiao Long reunited with Gong Wuqing and claimed that cultivating with him would help her and Ling Qingzhu reach the Supreme Realm. After bringing both women to Gong Wuqing's bedchamber, he said the next day that they could see he had not deceived them.

• Xiao Long teased Gong Wuqing and revealed that his cultivation had advanced to the Ancestor Realm.

Xiao Long fought the Demonic Emperor for half a day without using the Plane Embryo, gaining experience while wearing his opponent down. The Demonic Emperor fled through a different spatial rift, and Xiao Long let him go rather than pursue him toward the Seven Masters or the demon army.
