Chapter Summaries

Chen Lin found that the Myriad Clans City Scenario had become inaccessible, so he arranged for Luo Qinglan’s Gold-Spotted Fruit Tree branch to be delivered through the Dayuan Trading Firm. After discussing the firm’s offer with Nanmen Lingyue, he learned she wanted him to return to the Nanmen Lineage and help her kill someone.

• Chen Lin failed to enter the Myriad Clans City Scenario, even through an elderly cultivator’s projection, and suspected the scenario had been sealed off.
• Chen Lin asked Qing Zhe to deliver a Gold-Spotted Fruit Tree branch to Xu Wuye for Luo Qinglan, with Bai Ze as an alternative recipient if Xu Wuye could not be found.
• Qing Zhe offered Dayuan Trading Firm’s support to help Nanmen Lingyue become head of the Nanmen Lineage, and Chen Lin relayed the proposal to her.
• Nanmen Lingyue told Chen Lin she had finished refining the Seven-Color Relic and agreed to the firm’s terms on the condition that it kill Gu Qingxuan.
• Nanmen Lingyue asked Chen Lin to return with her to the Nanmen Lineage and summon Brother Pig to help her kill someone.

Chen Lin helped Nanmen Lingyue seize control of the Nanmen Lineage, then returned to his fiefdom to tend to its inhabitants and prepare for secluded cultivation. After nearly a month, he returned to Sanding City, where Zhou Jing hurried to see him.

• Chen Lin agreed to help Nanmen Lingyue eliminate Great Elder Nanmen Honglie and summoned the Pig Monster to assist her while he hid in his fiefdom.
• A peach treasure hatched into a tiny girl who called Chen Lin and Grass her parents, and Grass named her Chen Tao, nicknamed Taobao.
• Chen Lin checked on Scholar and the Resurrection Tree, then expanded his fiefdom and designated a mountain peak as forbidden ground.
• Nanmen Lingyue returned after defeating Nanmen Honglie and securing the lineage chief position, reporting that the Nanmen Clan, Dayuan Trading Firm, and Ming Family had joined forces.
• Chen Lin declined to join the allies' discussions and spent nearly a month developing his fiefdom before returning to Sanding City, where Zhou Jing came to see him.

Chen Lin received the Seven-Star Shining Sun Immortal Refining Chapter and learned from Yang Qianxing’s letter about a Primal Domain Rift that might lead to the Floating Realm. Three years later, after the Soul-Severing Continent’s factions settled their disputes, Chen Lin continued cultivating while Qing Zhe arranged an investigation of the rift.

• Zhou Jing delivered an anonymously sent box to Chen Lin, who used a puppet to open it safely and found a Golden Book Page and an old booklet inside.
• Chen Lin recognized the page as the Seven-Star Shining Sun Immortal Refining Chapter and realized the booklet was an inaccurate translation with familiar annotations.
• Chen Lin found Yang Qianxing’s letter explaining how he had discovered the page, gained star-related abilities from the flawed translation, and later suffered a curse that crippled his cultivation and purification talent.
• Yang Qianxing’s letter gave the location of a Primal Domain Rift that might connect to the Floating Realm and asked Chen Lin to pass the items to Yang Zishi; Chen Lin decided to cultivate and plan carefully before pursuing the rift.
• Chen Lin entered seclusion to study the Immortal Refining Chapter, and three years passed as the Soul-Severing Continent’s factions negotiated a new division of interests.
• Qing Zhe promised to hire experts to investigate the rift and look for a way to extend Zhou Jing’s lifespan, while Chen Lin continued cultivating and waited for news from Luo Qinglan.

Chen Lin prepared to advance to the Minor True Realm, but Xu Wuye’s visit interrupted his seclusion and led to an agreement involving Fairytale Town and the Six Mysteries Sect. After she left, he continued planning his cultivation and his next steps.

• Chen Lin strengthened his body and artistic conception to match his soul, then secluded himself to prepare for fusing them and entering the Minor True Realm.
• Chen Lin welcomed Xu Wuye to his fiefdom, and she explained that the Purple Emperor ruled the cultivation realm and that the Outer World was nearly impossible to reach safely.
• Xu Wuye gave Chen Tao a Dream Veil, and Chen Lin explained how he had obtained access to Fairytale Town.
• Chen Lin agreed to share Fairytale Town with Xu Wuye under conditions that she protect his plans and leave his first-place finish in the Story Contest untouched.
• Chen Lin asked Xu Wuye to visit the Six Mysteries Sect and ask Liu Rumian how to resolve the dispute over the Chessboard Scenario medium, and she accepted in exchange for the Death-Exemption Gold Medal.

Chen Lin spent thirty years cultivating in the Soul Hive, strengthening his body, intent, laws, and cultivation while advancing to its thirty-fifth cavity. After reviewing concerns about Luo Qinglan, Zhou Jing, and Liu Rumian, he summoned Long Han and learned that the Dragon Egg had hatched into a black demonic dragon.

• Chen Lin entered the Soul Hive with Grass guarding him, carrying the petal from the Hazy Figure and her message of thirty-six as unresolved clues.
• Over thirty years, Chen Lin raised his body and intent to match his soul, advanced to void refinement perfection, strengthened his God Star, and reached the thirty-fifth Soul Hive cavity.
• Chen Lin considered Luo Qinglan's impending return, Zhou Jing's incurable condition, and Liu Rumian's disappearance inside the Chessboard Scenario.
• Chen Lin summoned Long Han to ask about the sect, and Long Han reported that the Dragon Egg had hatched into a black demonic dragon.

Chen Lin appointed Long Han as Sect Leader of the Kaiyuan Sect and gave him instructions for managing its branches and trade. After Nanmen Lingyue reported that Gu Tianling’s surviving forces had fled north into the Chaotic Void, Chen Lin learned where the threat had gone.

• Chen Lin gave Long Han a token to contract with the Dragon Egg’s hatchling and appointed him Sect Leader of the Kaiyuan Sect.
• Chen Lin assigned Long Han responsibility for the sect’s branches and trade, explained whom to contact for help, and gave him cultivation materials and treasures.
• Aisa demanded to become Sect Leader, but Chen Lin told her to reach Nascent Soul Ascension first; she then went to play with Chen Tao.
• Chen Lin reviewed the Kaiyuan Sect’s gains on the Soul-Severing Continent after its new powers had settled in.
• Nanmen Lingyue told Chen Lin that Gu Tianling’s remaining forces had left the Soul-Severing Continent and entered the Chaotic Void in the far north.

Chen Lin learned that the Gu Family survivors had fled into the Chaotic Void, then completed his advancement to the Minor True Realm in seclusion. His new innate true origin resonated with his Inner Star and greatly increased how quickly he could refine Mysterious Stones, accelerating his path toward the Void Realm.

• Nanmen Lingyue told Chen Lin that Gu Family members had been spotted near the Chaotic Void, and Chen Lin resolved to grow stronger in case they returned for revenge.
• Chen Lin entered the Leaf Scenario, announced a gathering for cultivators who could enter it, and offered attendees ten Ordinary Nightmare Coins.
• Chen Lin returned to his headquarters in Sanding City and instructed Yang Wentai to keep everyone away while he cultivated.
• Chen Lin smoothly fused his body, soul, and intent energies to reach the Minor True Realm and form energy with true origin traits.
• Chen Lin found that his innate true origin resonated with his Inner Star, making him refine Mysterious Stones nearly ten times faster and gain roughly twice the benefit from each stone.

After half a year of cultivation, Chen Lin attempted to condense the star core of his God Star but lacked sufficient stellar power. He used the remaining energy from the Myriad Phenomena Porridge to succeed, drawing the attention of powerful figures across distant realms.

• Chen Lin cultivated at the Mountain Gate for half a year while testing his body after entering the Minor True Realm.
• Chen Lin began condensing his God Star’s core, but the available stellar power proved insufficient despite his efforts.
• Chen Lin used the remaining energy from the Myriad Phenomena Porridge to strengthen the Seven-Star Shining Sun dharmic formula.
• A hidden star brightened and sent a strand of starlight into Chen Lin, causing the God Star’s core to form.
• Experts across the Upper Primal Domain sensed the change, while the Boss Lady and a woman in a purple palace reacted to the star’s awakening.

After forming his Star Core, Chen Lin drew powerful cultivators to his Mountain Gate when an unknown star appeared, and he blamed the phenomenon on a figure from the Crape Myrtle Palace. The Soulless Sect elder’s cryptic warning about a guest from another land left Chen Lin worried that his identity as a transgressor might be known.

• Chen Lin completed his Star Core and learned he could begin condensing a second Inner Star.
• Yang Wentai and Grass told Chen Lin that an unusual celestial omen had appeared, and powerful cultivators from several factions arrived to investigate.
• Chen Lin told the visitors that a figure from the Crape Myrtle Palace had caused the phenomenon, and the factions agreed to spread that explanation to discourage outsiders from coming.
• The Soulless Sect elder asked about Zhou Jing’s spiritless constitution and left Chen Lin with a cryptic warning about a guest from another land.
• Nanmen Lingyue asked Chen Lin whether his explanation was true, and he admitted that his cultivation technique had caused the phenomenon before she returned to her lineage.
• Chen Lin entered his fiefdom from a secluded location and pondered whether the elder’s warning referred to him, Zhou Jing, or both.

Chen Lin set aside his suspicions about Zhou Jing and reunited with Luo Qinglan in his fiefdom. Luo Qinglan revealed that she had refined her bloodline at the White Jade Terrace and warned him that Hundred Flowers Fairy was plotting against him, before Chen Lin said they had an urgent matter to address.

• Chen Lin waited a month before summoning Grass, who reported that Zhou Jing was still searching for a way to cultivate and had shown no changes.
• Chen Lin approved a request to enter his fiefdom and welcomed Luo Qinglan, then reassured her that he had not visited a brothel since she scolded him in Danding City.
• Luo Qinglan tried to speak with Grass, but Grass flew away, and Luo Qinglan explained that the spirit beast mark had been removed while she still felt bound to Bei Wumeng.
• Luo Qinglan told Chen Lin that the White Jade Terrace had helped her remove her spirit beast mark and refine her bloodline, though she had only barely entered the void realm.
• Luo Qinglan warned Chen Lin that Hundred Flowers Fairy had reached the peak void realm and repeatedly urged Bei Wumeng to kill him.
• Chen Lin accepted the warning and told Luo Qinglan that they needed to deal with a more urgent matter quickly.

Chen Lin warned Luo Qinglan that a powerful mirror image of her might be hiding in the Three-Jade Immortal Kingdom and arranged for her to learn the Mirror Image Fusion Method. After Luo Qinglan left to seek a Contract Cancellation Document from Xu Wuye, Chen Lin investigated Grass’s history with the Hundred Flowers Fairy and remained unable to contact Blind Girl or Fat Tiger; two visitors then arrived in his fiefdom.

• Chen Lin sealed himself and Luo Qinglan inside a Mysterious Stone hut and explained that nightmare realm mirror images could be complete projections of living beings.
• Chen Lin told Luo Qinglan that Bandit Leader Luo Qinglan in the Three-Jade Immortal Kingdom might be her mirror image, and said they needed a Contract Cancellation Document before he could teach her the Mirror Image Fusion Method.
• Luo Qinglan suggested asking Xu Wuye for the document in exchange for information about mirror images, and Chen Lin transferred Long Han’s Sub-Token to her before she left.
• Chen Lin asked Grass why the Hundred Flowers Fairy wanted him dead, but Grass could only warn that Bei Wumeng’s maidservant might have been one of her pawns.
• Chen Lin failed to summon Blind Girl and Fat Tiger, decided not to enter the troubled White Cloud Pasture, and then approved a Peerage Token request as two figures appeared.

Chen Lin met Xu Wuye in a time-space pagoda, received a scroll that erased his contracts, and shared the Mirror Image Fusion Method with her. After studying the method, Xu Wuye asked him to explain how to find his own mirror image.

• Xu Wuye invited Chen Lin and Luo Qinglan into a pagoda modeled after the Myriad Demon Pagoda and explained that its Tower Spirit could block outside eavesdropping.
• Xu Wuye gave Chen Lin a Contract Cancellation Scroll, and Chen Lin activated it to dissolve the contracts and oaths binding him.
• Chen Lin noticed the scroll's energy resembled Yang Zishi's Purification Light, but Xu Wuye said the White Jade Terrace made the scrolls itself.
• Chen Lin gave Xu Wuye an Inheritance Bead containing the Mirror Image Fusion Method and sent Luo Qinglan an inheritance of his cultivation insights.
• After studying the method, Xu Wuye asked Chen Lin how they could find their own mirror images.

Chen Lin traded the White Jade Terrace permission to explore Fairytale Town for access to the Drift Bottle Scenario, where drifting bottles could contain anything from deadly hazards to Golden Nightmare Coins. After reuniting with Luo Qinglan, he ended their brief respite to focus on learning the Fusion Method needed for mirror image fusion.

• Chen Lin told Xu Wuye that information about a mirror image could be obtained through the Outer Realm Battlefield by exchanging merit with a Nightmare Law Controller.
• Xu Wuye offered Chen Lin a medium for entering the Drift Bottle Scenario in exchange for permission for the White Jade Terrace to explore Fairytale Town.
• Xu Wuye explained that explorers had to retrieve and open a drifting bottle, whose contents could be dangerous or valuable, and warned that the departure mission had a high mortality rate.
• Xu Wuye gave Chen Lin a piece of yellow jade that served as an entry medium, warning him not to lose it or let unauthorized outsiders use it.
• After Xu Wuye left, Chen Lin reunited with Luo Qinglan for a few days, then turned his attention to learning the Fusion Method for mirror image fusion.

Chen Lin entered the Drift Bottle Scenario to find a safe place in the Reality Realm and explore its island. After a month of waiting, he spotted a patch of white light drifting toward him across the sea.

• Chen Lin chose an inn courtyard in Sanding City as a safe place for his physical body and summoned Grass to guard him before projecting into the Nightmare Realm.
• Chen Lin met Jin Zhentian, the White Jade Terrace expert stationed on the island, and received permission to move freely there.
• Chen Lin discovered that a barrier limited him to three feet beyond the island’s edge and found no Drifting Bottles during his initial search.
• Chen Lin tested his abilities and found that Death Gaze, inner star force, and soul force were unaffected by suppression, while law power remained heavily suppressed.
• After a month of watching the sea, Chen Lin spotted a patch of white light drifting toward the island.

Chen Lin watched Jin Zhentian collect and open a Drifting Bottle, learning that the golden scenario’s departure mission had to be completed every time someone entered and that collecting bottles was dangerous. The bottle’s blue-smoke figure asked Jin Zhentian a third question, leaving the answer—and the bottle’s consequences—unresolved.

• Chen Lin learned from Jin Zhentian that Drifting Bottles appeared periodically, but entrants had to complete the departure mission again on every visit.
• Chen Lin tried to use his destiny law to predict whether a bottle was dangerous, but it failed, so he watched Jin Zhentian instead of risking a grab.
• Jin Zhentian waited until a bottle crossed the barrier, snatched it, and opened it while Chen Lin kept his distance.
• A baby-faced figure emerged from the bottle and asked Jin Zhentian its name and age; he guessed incorrectly both times.
• The figure asked Jin Zhentian who was stronger, Sun Wukong or Erlang Shen.

Chen Lin escaped the Drifting Bottle Scenario after warning Jin Zhentian, who survived but lost his reward for changing his answer. Jin Zhentian sent Xu Wuye to compensate Chen Lin, who received three valuable items and remained in his fiefdom.

• Chen Lin vanished when Jin Zhentian began answering, and Jin changed his choice to Sun Wukong, prompting Baby Face to cancel his reward before disappearing.
• Chen Lin returned to his fiefdom and waited instead of returning to reality, hoping Jin Zhentian would repay his warning.
• Xu Wuye entered Chen Lin's fiefdom and gave him a Transmission Talisman from Jin Zhentian; she said Jin had received no reward after changing his answer.
• Chen Lin complained that saving Jin had cost him a Gold Grade Forced Crossing Scroll, and Xu Wuye presented him with a Golden-Winged Roc's natal feather, a soon-to-expire Level 4 Gold Road Guide, and an Invitation Letter to the White Jade Terrace.
• Before leaving, Xu Wuye asked Chen Lin how he had known the correct answer.

Chen Lin used the Fortunate Art to choose a Drifting Bottle after his destiny ability and Wish Noodles failed to affect the bottles. He opened it and found a letter, leaving its contents unknown.

• Chen Lin told Xu Wuye that the Drifting Bottle's question referred to characters from his fairy tale, and they speculated about the creature inside.
• Xu Wuye supplied Chen Lin with Prayer Grass and Endless Water so he could make Wish Noodles, taking a portion for herself.
• Chen Lin entered the Drift Bottle Scenario with Grass and found more than twenty bottles gathered near the island.
• Chen Lin's destiny ability and Wish Noodles could not affect the bottles, so he cast the Fortunate Art and used scattered stones to choose one.
• Chen Lin grabbed the bottle struck by the largest stone, opened it, and discovered a letter inside.

Chen Lin received a letter from Niuniu’s past self, warning him not to rescue her until he mastered eternal power and describing several treasures and abilities meant to help him. Unable to confirm the letter’s claims, he cautiously limited his connection with Niuniu before entering the Story Contest.

• Chen Lin used soul force to reveal a message written by a Colorful Feather, which said its writer expected to be imprisoned and warned him to sever ties until he mastered eternal power.
• The letter attributed to Niuniu’s past self listed seven treasures and cautioned Chen Lin against using a match before learning a secret method, then vanished with the Drifting Bottle.
• Chen Lin concluded the writer was likely Niuniu from the past, while Grass confirmed she could not see the letter.
• After searching the Elder Ancient Texts without finding information about the Rainbow Era, Chen Lin left Niuniu’s Talisman in his Fiefdom and disposed of her other items.
• Chen Lin had Grass stand guard and entered the Fairytale Town scenario for the Story Contest.

Chen Lin returned to Fairytale Town, learned that Lilia had upgraded her cottage using his eliminated Snow White story, and went to visit Anna. He entered Anna’s castle and was startled by what he saw inside.

• Chen Lin visited Barbara at the Big-Ear Rabbit’s Story Cottage and learned that his perfect rating had brought the cottage a surge of customers.
• Barbara told Chen Lin that Lilia had upgraded her cottage to five stars using his eliminated Snow White story, which she bought at auction and upgraded with an Evolution Document from Anna.
• Barbara gave Chen Lin an Invitation Letter, and Chen Lin left after deciding to visit Anna rather than risk running into Lilia.
• Chen Lin encountered Xu Daoling, who complained that Chen Lin had taken a Nightmare Spell from him, but Chen Lin denied owing him anything and continued on.
• Chen Lin reached Anna’s four-star Castle of Queen Anna and entered when the doors opened, then stared in astonishment at something hidden in the mist-filled room.

Chen Lin stopped Anna’s Nightmare Transformation with the last drop of her purification water, then learned that Nightmare Qi erosion leaves lasting mutations that can only be eliminated through fusion with a Nightmare Realm mirror image. He told Anna he had visited the Outer Realm Battlefield, but her hopes dimmed when he described its dangers, and he asked where she had obtained the water.

• Chen Lin found Anna transforming into a toad and poured the single drop in her White Bottle into her mouth, restoring her human form.
• Anna explained that Nightmare Qi erosion leaves hidden mutations that can later erupt, and that fusion with a Nightmare Realm mirror image removes the danger.
• Anna revealed that her purification water was losing effectiveness and feared she could not wait for Chen Lin to earn a hundred consecutive victories.
• Chen Lin told Anna he had visited the Outer Realm Battlefield but had not obtained the special reward needed for fusion.
• Chen Lin described powerful threats on the battlefield, including the Evil Vine and a creature that could swallow a plane, then asked where Anna had gotten her purification water.
