Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “Five Qi Imperial Realm?”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Demon Dispatch Scroll changes the protagonist’s plans. Because it can accelerate the search for mural stone fragments in Yan Li, the protagonist decides to spend only one year—not two—escaping Fallen God Land.
• Over seven months, the protagonist discovers thirty-seven additional fragments, bringing the total to forty. These fragments reveal over half of a mural, whose patterns become partially understandable after the protagonist inherits some of Illusory Light’s memories.
• The mural contains knowledge connected to the Two Extremes Authority, promising a major breakthrough if properly comprehended.
• While searching for the forty-first fragment, the protagonist discovers an unusually large fragment guarded by a powerful leopard spirit formed from resentful baleful qi. Its aura resembles that of an Innate God, suggesting it may have devoured or been possessed by one.
• The protagonist attempts to steal the fragment stealthily using Breath Concealment, Cloud Swallowing, and Evasive Light, hoping to avoid a battle and prevent attracting other dangers.
• The collected fragments suddenly resonate with the large fragment, exposing the protagonist and enraging the leopard spirit. A terrifying shadow emerges behind it, plunging all of Fallen God Land into darkness and disrupting perception.
