Chapter Summaries

Chen Lin explored deeper into the Primal Plane and discovered a corpse beside a newly formed innate sword grass. Grass awakened through her resonance with the plant and warned Chen Lin that she would subdue it herself.

• Chen Lin left a positioning treasure, recorded his journey, and traveled through the barren Primal Plane for several days.
• Chen Lin found a dead man whose fingers were dug into the soil, but his puppets failed under the plane’s energy suppression and a spirit beast died immediately.
• Chen Lin used a Soul Hand and Lightning Ray to investigate and destroy the corpse, revealing two Storage Rings and a primal lifeform beneath it.
• Grass awakened through her resonance with the innate sword grass and warned Chen Lin not to touch it because it could release innate sword qi.
• Chen Lin learned that Grass was herself a stalk of innate sword grass, and she said she would subdue the plant without his help.

Chen Lin learned that Grass had recovered her memories but still could not regain a living body, and heard how she had sacrificed herself to save Hua Ruyu, now known as Bei Wumeng. Grass revealed that Bei Wumeng was Hongming Ancestor, identified several figures tied to her, and left Chen Lin facing the possibility that Luo Qinglan was her phoenix spirit beast.

• Grass used the sword grass to take human form, but she still had no warmth or true flesh-and-blood body.
• Grass recalled that she had willingly become a treasure to help Hua Ruyu, then detonated her origin when Hua Ruyu was pursued by Li Yuanlei, the Annihilation Immortal King.
• Grass said Hua Ruyu was actually Bei Wumeng, leader of the Hongming Cult, and explained that her disciple Baihua had an innate law origin.
• Grass revealed that Bei Wumeng's phoenix spirit beast, Luo Shenhuang, looked exactly like Chen Lin's companion Luo Qinglan.
• Grass told Chen Lin that Blind Girl had also served Bei Wumeng and was named Wuxin.

Chen Lin wondered whether Hongming Ancestor had manipulated his fate and whether he was Li Yuanlei’s reincarnation, but Grass denied it. Grass released innate origin through the Thunder God Sword, allowing Chen Lin to form a golden core without a heavenly tribulation, just as a gigantic, faceless head appeared in the void.

• Chen Lin suspected Hongming Ancestor had sought his Destiny Talent and asked Grass if he was Li Yuanlei’s reincarnation, but Grass firmly denied it.
• Chen Lin asked whether Grass could use the Thunder God Sword Main Body and warned her not to risk falling dormant again.
• After Chen Lin called Grass his wife and told her he had missed her, the Thunder God Sword released pure innate origin into him.
• Chen Lin used the energy to form a transparent golden core, which stabilized without a lightning or inner demon tribulation.
• As Chen Lin prepared to leave, a gigantic head with no eyes or nose appeared in the void and opened its mouth to swallow him.

Chen Lin was nearly devoured by a Devouring Heaven Beast until his Silence nightmare spell let him evade its senses and wear it down. After killing the beast and securing its energy sphere, he fled from Fairy Yaochi and her companion, who began to recognize him.

• Chen Lin's attacks barely affected the Devouring Heaven Beast, and its suction dragged him toward its mouth while Grass warned that it suppressed innate power.
• Fairy Yaochi identified the creature and headed toward it, while one companion went to report the danger and the other followed her.
• As the beast drew Chen Lin close, he cast Silence and discovered that it disrupted the creature's ability to locate him.
• Chen Lin repeatedly struck the beast with the Soul-Destroying Finger while moving to avoid detection, then combined his remaining innate thunder power and soul attack to kill it.
• Chen Lin collected the beast's energy sphere and fled after Fairy Yaochi appeared with her companion.
• Fairy Yaochi and her companion discussed Chen Lin's techniques, and the companion suddenly realized who he was.

Fairy Yaochi tracked down Chen Lin and traded a map of the Primal Plane for his explanation of how he cultivated a nightmare spell. After parting ways, Chen Lin continued onward, rested, and learned that Grass could not refine the energy sphere from the Devouring Heaven Beast.

• Fairy Yaochi recognized Chen Lin and pursued him, then asked how he had cultivated a nightmare spell.
• Chen Lin asked for a detailed map, information about the Primal Plane’s formation, and primal worms; Fairy Yaochi gave him the map and promised to send news later, but had no worms to offer.
• Chen Lin claimed he had used demon brain fluid to comprehend the spell and signed a Soul Contract affirming that he had not lied.
• Fairy Yaochi gave Chen Lin a Communication Jade Talisman and discussed his identity and the Devouring Heaven Beast’s death with Fitted Attire and the woman in a pale yellow dress.
• Chen Lin rested after flying onward, and Grass told him she could not refine the energy sphere he had taken from the Devouring Heaven Beast.

Chen Lin tested his exploration data and treasures in the primal plane, discovering that the Dragonfly Headwear rapidly strengthened his soul by helping him absorb Myriad Phenomena Porridge Energy. A mysterious woman then reached through space, took the headwear, and left Chen Lin alive but drained; after recovering, he left the area with Grass.

• Chen Lin entered Fairy Yaochi’s map and details about the Sword Grass and Devouring Heaven Beast into the Prison-Suppressing Token, earning 21 points in total.
• Chen Lin tested the Red-Haired Fine Needle and Dragonfly Headwear, then used the headwear’s aura to absorb Myriad Phenomena Porridge Energy and advance his soul to mid semi-void.
• A woman with a seven-colored dragonfly headwear saw Chen Lin through an image and reached her hand through space toward him.
• Chen Lin was immobilized and suppressed, but his Silence Technique briefly eased the pressure before the woman caught his Soul-Destroying Finger energy and took the Dragonfly Headwear.
• Chen Lin recovered with Grass’s help and medicinal pills, then left the area with her.

After recovering from the attack that took the Dragonfly Headwear, Chen Lin spent over two years exploring the Primal Plane and gathering treasures before leaving as the plane threatened to expand. Back in Myriad Forms City, he entered his fiefdom with Grass and learned that peerage holders could be invited to a beneficial event in the Nightmare Realm.

• Chen Lin recovered from his injuries, reflected on his recklessness, and continued exploring the Primal Plane for innate items and primal worms.
• Over more than two years, Chen Lin used his Origin Orbs and Fortune Orbs to find several innate items and nearly a hundred primal worms, while earning fifty-five mission points.
• Chen Lin contacted Fairy Yaochi, who warned that the plane was about to expand and advised him to leave.
• Chen Lin traveled to the exit, departed without being stopped, and returned to Myriad Forms City.
• Chen Lin entered his fiefdom with Grass, who told him that holders of peerage could receive invitations to a beneficial Nightmare Realm event.

Chen Lin received prayer grass and information from Blue Butterfly in exchange for the light of law, but the information offered no way to reach Princess Qinghua. He declined an invitation to a trading convention and considered other ways to earn Golden Nightmare Coins.

• Chen Lin reunited with Duan Shengping, introduced Grass as his wife, and learned that Blue Butterfly had been seeking him.
• Blue Butterfly delivered prayer grass and a Jade Slip about Princess Qinghua’s predicament, and Chen Lin handed her the promised light of law.

• Fairy Yaochi invited Chen Lin to a trading convention for Innate Law Origin Cultivators, but he declined and asked her to arrange a meeting with Liu Rumian.
• Chen Lin asked Luo Xing whether chess skill alone could win the chess games, and Luo Xing said the chess law was necessary.

Chen Lin met Liu Rumian and handed over ten primal worms in exchange for her help obtaining endless water or a Body Tempering Innate Cultivation Technique. He warned her and Fairy Yaochi that a Headless Female Corpse had appeared in Myriad Clans City and could enter the Reality Realm, leaving them questioning whether the dangerous scenario could be explored.

• Chen Lin asked Luo Xing whether Chess Intent could help develop the Golden Nightmare Coin scenario, then sent him away to continue cultivating toward Yuanhuashen.
• Fairy Yaochi told Chen Lin that Liu Rumian had arrived, and the three met at a Spirit Food Pavilion.
• Chen Lin gave Liu Rumian ten primal worms, and she promised to help him find endless water while reminding him that he still owed her.

• Chen Lin warned Liu Rumian and Fairy Yaochi about the Headless Female Corpse in Myriad Clans City and its ability to enter the Reality Realm.
• Fairy Yaochi said the scenario would be difficult to scout and asked Chen Lin to describe it, saying Myriad Clans City sounded familiar.

Chen Lin and Liu Rumian learned that a travelogue described Myriad Clans City and its arena, while Fairy Yaochi traded two primal worms for Chen Lin’s Innate Artifact Refining Art. The chapter ended with Fairy Yaochi lending Chen Lin the travelogue and Liu Rumian giving him a communication talisman before leaving.

• Fairy Yaochi described Myriad Clans City from a travelogue, and Liu Rumian confirmed it matched the Nightmare Realm scenario they had visited.
• Fairy Yaochi recounted a story about a scholar who became a War General after defeating a hundred arena opponents, then died on the Outer Realm Battlefield.
• Chen Lin offered Fairy Yaochi two primal worms in exchange for an Innate Artifact Refining Art, and she accepted the trade.
• Fairy Yaochi gave Chen Lin the travelogue and left to complete her assignment.
• Liu Rumian teased Chen Lin about his trade with Fairy Yaochi, gave him a Communication Jade Talisman, and left for her sect.

Chen Lin read the final stories in the Travelogue and suspected that its account of Wu Zhangkong described the Good Fortune Immortal Lord, linking the book’s heroine to Wu Xuerong’s mother and the owner of the Dragonfly Headwear. The final tale matched the Ice-and-Snow Plane and suggested that the man who took the heroine in was the Cheng Sisters’ father.

• Chen Lin read a story about Wu Zhangkong, whose romance with a sect leader’s daughter ended in tragedy, and noticed the heroine’s secret manual was called the Good Fortune Secret Tome.
• Chen Lin connected Wu Zhangkong to the Good Fortune Immortal Lord and wondered whether the heroine was Wu Xuerong’s mother, the owner of the Dragonfly Headwear.
• Chen Lin considered whether the Travelogue’s author was the mysterious woman whose arm had taken the Dragonfly Headwear, but could not determine her identity.
• Chen Lin finished the Travelogue’s final story, about an injured outsider who lived in an icy world, married a cultivator surnamed Cheng, bore two daughters, and eventually left him.
• Chen Lin recognized the setting as the Ice-and-Snow Plane where his Tianluo Clone was sealed and suspected the cultivator was the Cheng Sisters’ father.

Chen Lin studied his travelogue, mastered an innate Artifact Refining Art, and tested several innate spiritual entities to speed up his cultivation. He also discussed finding Grass a more solid body, but learned that she needed far more resources and the Thunder God Sword Main Body to become fully real.

• Chen Lin considered whether the arm's owner had mistaken him for a descendant, then concluded that the Good Fortune Immortal Lord might be the male lead in the travelogue's story.
• After a month of study, Chen Lin used the Artifact Refining Art on the Red-Haired Fine Needle and gained a weak mental connection that let him unleash some of its mysterious power.
• Chen Lin examined five innate spiritual entities and began refining the origin of a small white flower, estimating that it could help him reach Golden Core Perfection or even break through to Nascent Soul.
• Chen Lin asked Grass whether one of the innate items could serve as a vessel for her body, but she said she needed at least ten plants to solidify her spiritual body and the Thunder God Sword Main Body for Turning the Void into Reality.
• Chen Lin reassured Grass that he would find a solution, and she encouraged him before returning to the Thunder God Sword.

After a year of cultivating with an innate spiritual entity, Chen Lin reached the Late Golden Core Realm and met Fairy Yaochi to trade and learn about the Primal Plane. He discovered that Mysterious Stones were valuable to her master, but innate cultivators could not use their energy, and Fairy Yaochi pressed him to sell the stones he had.

• Chen Lin cultivated with the Xiaobai Flower for a year, reached the Late Golden Core Realm, and stopped to stabilize his growth after the flower withered away.
• Chen Lin met Fairy Yaochi, who told him that the expanding Primal Plane had become too unstable for most factions to explore.
• Fairy Yaochi explained that the Crape Myrtle Palace had Soul Suppressing, Body-Suppressing, and Intent-Suppressing Halls whose Prison-Suppressing Envoys supposedly guarded the Inner World.
• Chen Lin showed Fairy Yaochi a Mysterious Stone and asked whether innate cultivators could use its energy.
• Fairy Yaochi said only powerful beings in the Mysterious Domain could draw out the stones' energy, then demanded to buy all of Chen Lin's Mysterious Stones for her master.

Chen Lin deliberately used a hundred Mysterious Stones to draw out Fairy Yaochi’s True Immortal master and negotiate for supplies, information, and passage to the Far North. The master’s clone exposed Chen Lin to an interrogation spell and seized the stones, while Chen Lin concealed that he had resisted the spell; he was left waiting for Fairy Yaochi to deliver payment.

• Chen Lin noticed Fairy Yaochi signal her master after seeing the Mysterious Stones and had deliberately revealed them to attract the True Immortal.
• The middle-aged master arrived, dismissed Fairy Yaochi, and questioned Chen Lin about his origins, his visit to the Mysterious Domain, and his Mysterious Stones.
• Chen Lin asked to trade his stones for innate spiritual entities, information, treasures, a body-tempering method, and use of the Teleportation Formation to reach the Far North.
• The master used a sound-based interrogation art, but Chen Lin secretly cast the Silence Technique and falsely reported that he had 108 stones, including six hidden outside the city.
• The master took the hundred stones Chen Lin carried, promised him protection and payment through Fairy Yaochi, and vanished through a spatial rift.

Chen Lin accepted a generous reward from Fairy Yaochi’s master after surrendering the Mysterious Stones, then returned home and examined the treasures. The information he received brought him close to completing his Prison-Suppressing Envoy mission, though he still needed five points.

• Fairy Yaochi delivered Chen Lin more than twenty boxes of rewards and offered him land in Myriad Forms City on her master’s behalf.
• Chen Lin retrieved the six Mysterious Stones he had buried outside the city, then returned to his residence and reassured Grass that the True Immortal had not taken the Thunder God Sword.
• Chen Lin found seven innate spiritual entities among the rewards, including a fierce blade-shaped shard he sealed and decided not to use.
• Chen Lin studied a Jade Slip containing a detailed map and information about the Primal Plane, then recorded it with his Prison-Suppressing Envoy Token.
• Chen Lin learned that his mission total had reached 95 points, leaving him five points short, and considered asking Liu Rumian for help.

Chen Lin received a permanent cave residence, a teleportation token, an aura-concealing bone, and the Great Desolate True Scripture’s body-refining method from Fairy Yaochi’s master. Unable to complete his Prison-Suppressing Envoy mission because the Primal Plane was sealed and Liu Rumian did not reply, he remained in Myriad Forms City and learned that two mysterious groups had questioned his disciples.

• Chen Lin examined his gifts and decided to use the permanent mountain residence as a base for Leng Yue and the others.
• Chen Lin found that the bone fragment blocked perception and that the Great Desolate True Scripture’s Body Refining Chapter suited his cultivation plans.
• Chen Lin tried to temper his body with energy from the Myriad Phenomena Porridge, but could not mobilize it.
• Chen Lin learned that the Primal Plane remained unstable and sealed, leaving him five points short of completing his mission.
• Chen Lin met Leng Yue, who reported that a masked woman’s group and a gloomy young man’s group had questioned the disciples.
• Leng Yue showed Chen Lin portraits of the visitors, and he began examining them.

Chen Lin discovered that Bai Xuanhu and others had been investigating his immortal cave, then formally accepted Leng Yue as his direct disciple and equipped her to cultivate and defend herself. After warning her to stay cautious and seek help from Fairy Yaochi or True Lord Wuming, he left the Spirit Wine House and returned to his lodgings.

• Chen Lin recognized portraits of Xiao Qingmo, Liu Rumian, Fairy Yaochi, and Bai Xuanhu, and realized the Bai Family had tracked him to his immortal cave.
• Chen Lin reassured Leng Yue that she was not the Bai Family's target, told her to seek help from Fairy Yaochi or True Lord Wuming if threatened, and gave her cultivation resources.
• Chen Lin formally accepted Leng Yue as his sixth direct disciple, revealed his true name and appearance, and told her about his five previous disciples.
• Chen Lin learned that Leng Yue had chosen the samsara law and gave her a Seven Aperture Golden Core, defensive treasures, and a credential token.
• Chen Lin warned Leng Yue about Bai Xuanhu, urged her to remain in Myriad Forms City until reaching the Void Realm, and gave her an Earth Tier treasure while telling her to keep his Pseudo-True Treasure secret.
• Leng Yue left, and Chen Lin changed his appearance before leaving the Spirit Wine House and returning to his lodgings.

Chen Lin completed the Prison-Suppressing Envoy mission after learning that something terrifying had appeared deep within the expanding Primal Plane, then prepared to leave Myriad Forms City for the Northern Domain. While attending an underground trading convention, he spotted a cage of Tianfan Clan slaves and asked the stallholder their price.

• Chen Lin hired cultivators to investigate the Primal Plane and explore the Jade Pendant scenario, but all the elderly cultivators he sent into the scenario died.
• A Divine Dao practitioner brought back rumors of a terrifying presence deep within the Primal Plane, and Chen Lin received one hundred points and completed the Prison-Suppressing Envoy mission.

• Liu Rumian told Chen Lin she had found a lead on the endless water and had exchanged the rest of his payment for pure Origin Orbs.
• Chen Lin entered an underground trading convention in Myriad Forms City and asked a Void Realm stallholder how much crystal sand he wanted for a caged Tianfan Clan member.

Chen Lin visited a slave market in Myriad Forms City and felt pity for a captive Tianfan Clan girl. After initially walking away, he bought the little girl and left the stall with her.

• Chen Lin examined a tall Tianfan Clan woman and learned that her people had an innate talent related to the life law, but he declined to buy her.
• The stallholder showed Chen Lin a frightened, long-eared little girl from the Tianfan Clan's Royal Family and asked two hundred thousand taels of crystal sand for her.
• An effeminate man bargained for the girl, while the tall woman privately pleaded with Chen Lin to save Princess Aisa.
• Grass asked Chen Lin to buy the little girl, so Chen Lin returned, paid two hundred thousand taels of crystal sand, and received her Slave Token.
• The effeminate man objected, but Chen Lin placed the girl and her cage in his Life Bag, showed his token, and continued inspecting the stalls.

Chen Lin rescued Aisa, a young Tianfan Clan slave, and brought her back to his lodgings, where he fed and comforted her. After learning that the Tianfan Clan had been nearly wiped out over its Spring of Life, he decided he could keep Aisa with him cautiously.

• Chen Lin used a counterfeit Identity Token to secure Aisa and left the trading convention with her in his Life Bag.
• Chen Lin released Aisa at his lodgings, but she stayed frightened and could not communicate with him at first.
• Grass comforted Aisa, and Chen Lin gave her a Soul Steamed Bun and Dream Juice until she relaxed and spoke to him.
• Chen Lin went to the market to investigate the Tianfan Clan and learned that its royal family controlled the Spring of Life.
