Summary of “Immortal King Relic”

Key Plot Points and Events

• News spreads across the Cold Abyss Snow Domain about a relic left behind by an ancient Immortal King. Most Immortal Kings initially dismiss it, assuming it contains only scattered belongings rather than truly valuable treasures.
• Investigation reveals that the relic’s medicine field once contained at least two Four-ring Heaven-Piercing Immortal Plants. This possibility draws the attention of powerful Immortal Kings, who begin considering the relic seriously.
• Mian, a True Immortal in the Second Realm, is hunted by seventeen True Immortals under the pretense of eliminating an “evil villain.” They discover that his Storage Necklace contains two Four-ring Heaven-Piercing Immortal Plants and, more importantly, a Five-ring Heaven-Piercing Immortal Plant—the Water-Seeking Dao-Asking Vine.
• The Water-Seeking Dao-Asking Vine is exceptionally valuable. It can aid Dao Verification, serve as a key ingredient for pills that help cultivators break into the Immortal King Realm, and significantly improve the cultivation of existing Immortal Kings.
• The vine’s medicinal fragrance attracts three Immortal King-level experts. One is the protagonist’s acquaintance, the Cold Abyss Snow King, King Jing. The other two conceal their identities.
• King Jing openly intervenes because four of the seventeen True Immortals are members of the Cold Abyss Snow Spirit Race, including his legitimate son Han Jing and two of his disciples. He had apparently followed the group in anticipation of exactly this conflict.
• As a Formation Master with powerful treasures and clan support, King Jing holds a clear advantage. The two unidentified Immortal Kings avoid using recognizable techniques, fearing that their identities will be exposed.
• When King Jing attempts to use the True Immortals to seize all three immortal plants, the two hidden Immortal Kings join forces against him. One releases a deadly grayish-black Corpse Qi from a shattered black bead.
• Han Jing underestimates the bead. The Corpse Qi corrodes his formations and protective barrier before entering his body, severely weakening him. The two unknown Immortal Kings escape with the Storage Ring containing the Water-Seeking Dao-Asking Vine.
• The protagonist arrives afterward and finds Han Jing suffering intensely as he suppresses the Corpse Qi, death qi, and Killing Intent inside him. The protagonist secretly uses the Double Pupils’ Insight to examine Han Jing.

Character Developments

• The protagonist: Demonstrates caution and opportunism by traveling to the relic after learning of the treasure, hoping to benefit from the chaos. Upon arrival, he takes advantage of being the strongest person present to inspect Han Jing secretly.
• King Jing/Han Jing: King Jing’s confidence, greed, and reliance on formations lead to his downfall. Although initially dominant, he becomes overconfident, attempts to monopolize the treasures, and fails to recognize the danger of the black bead.
• The two unknown Immortal Kings: Their reluctance to reveal their identities forces them to fight indirectly, but they adapt by joining forces and using a devastating hidden weapon. Their victory shows both restraint and ruthlessness.
• Mian: Though not directly present during the final confrontation, Mian becomes the central source of conflict because his possessions contain treasures far more valuable than anyone expected.

Significant Themes

• Greed and overconfidence: King Jing’s advantage collapses because he refuses to settle for a share and tries to claim everything.
• Hidden strength and deception: The unknown Immortal Kings conceal their identities and signature techniques, while the seemingly ordinary bead contains a devastating attack.
• The value of rare treasures: The Water-Seeking Dao-Asking Vine is powerful enough to influence the ambitions of both True Immortals and Immortal Kings, illustrating how resources can destabilize the entire region.
• Unpredictability of power struggles: Even a stronger combatant can be defeated when caught off guard by an unfamiliar technique or weapon.
• Opportunity amid chaos: The protagonist’s arrival after the battle reflects his willingness to exploit unstable situations rather than commit recklessly to open conflict.

Character Interactions

• King Jing protects and attempts to support his clansmen, especially Han Jing, while also competing directly with the two unknown Immortal Kings.

Chapter Summary: “Reviving a Corpse”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The protagonist discovers that Han Jing’s severe condition stems from sinister Corpse Qi left behind by a Quasi-Emperor-level evil demon. The Corpse Qi contained a fragment of the demon’s will and threatened to revive the demon through Han Jing’s body.
• Han Jing refused to abandon his fleshly body because doing so would likely allow the demon to use the seventeen nearby True Immortals as nourishment. Instead, he fought the Corpse Qi directly and successfully erased its embedded will.
• Although Han Jing defeated the will, the Corpse Qi, Killing Intent, and death Qi had severely damaged more than half of his body and corroded his true spirit. His cultivation foundation was crippled, potentially reducing his future advancement by several times.
• The protagonist recognizes that Han Jing’s Dao Path would otherwise be largely severed and offers to help purify him. Han Jing initially doubts that a newly advanced True Immortal can assist an Immortal King, but accepts because the protagonist’s unusual Dao Fruit suggests hidden abilities.
• The protagonist isolates Han Jing using the Azure True Luminous Great Formation, preventing the other cultivators—even the four Snow Spirit Race members—from entering.
• Inside his Life Law space, the protagonist uses the Origin of his Double Pupils, Life Law, and the Phoenix Primordial Spirit to restore Han Jing’s true spirit and purge the remaining death Qi and Killing Intent.
• After five treatments, the protagonist expends more than half of his Immortal Essence. Han Jing’s true spirit is restored as much as possible, leaving him with roughly eighty to ninety percent of his original cultivation potential instead of only ten or twenty percent.
• The protagonist conceals the true source of his abilities, claiming they originate from his special Dao Fruit. Han Jing remains somewhat suspicious but accepts the explanation because the protagonist has saved him.
• Once recovered, Han Jing becomes consumed by regret over losing the Water-Seeking Dao-Asking Vine, a rare Five-ring Heaven-Piercing Immortal Plant that could have helped him reach the Immortal King Third Realm or benefited his disciples and descendants.
• The vine was taken by two unknown Immortal Kings. Han Jing instead claims a large share of the remaining medicinal treasures and later gives the protagonist two valuable Third-ring plants as repayment.

Character Developments

• Han Jing: Revealed as responsible and self-sacrificing. Rather than flee and endanger the other cultivators, he risks his own body and true spirit to prevent the evil demon’s resurrection. After being rescued, his foundation is largely preserved, though his obsession with the lost vine reveals his ambition and attachment to future advancement.
• The Protagonist: Demonstrates powerful but carefully concealed abilities, including mastery of Life Law, purification, formation techniques, and the Phoenix Primordial Spirit. He becomes more willing to build alliances through strategic acts of assistance, helping Han Jing both out of goodwill and in hopes of strengthening their relationship.
• The Snow Spirit Race Members: Show respect for the protagonist’s status and abilities. Their recognition of the Azure True Luminous Great Formation reinforces the protagonist’s connection to the Snow Emperor and his elevated position within the race.

Significant Themes

• Self-sacrifice and responsibility: Han Jing chooses to fight rather than abandon his body, prioritizing the survival of others over his own safety.
• Hidden strength and deception: The protagonist’s success depends on concealing the true nature of his powers, showing the importance of secrecy in a dangerous cultivation world.
• The fragility of cultivation foundations: Damage to the true spirit and Dao Path can be more devastating than physical injury, even for an Immortal King.
• Reciprocity and alliance-building: The protagonist’s aid creates a debt and strengthens his relationship with Han Jing, while Han Jing repays him with rare treasures.
