Chen Lin helped Jin Wanshan and the black faction hold off the white side until the gambling match ended, then won Profound Mystery Fruits and learned some of their uses. Jin Wanshan agreed to explain the match and its participants, leaving Chen Lin poised to hear more about the casino’s mysteries.

• Order Envoy Luofeng stopped Jin Wanshan’s meteor hammer, but a hidden bird’s nest revealed that the Big-Headed Man had deceived him.
• Chen Lin blocked the gamblers while Jin Wanshan used his remaining strength to summon three meteors, and Chen’s explosives halted two winged angels before the scene collapsed.

• A casino attendant explained that the fruits held different abilities and could grant access to matching treasure vaults, while red fruits could buy passes out of the casino.
• Jin Wanshan told Chen Lin that red-fruit wagers had greater potential payouts and revealed that Chen’s fruit was a Special Profound Fruit from Order Envoy Luofeng.
• Chen Lin introduced himself, learned the fat man was Jin Wanshan, and accepted Jin’s offer to explain the gambling match and its participants.

Chen Lin learned about the Wealth and Honor Casino from Jin Wanshan and revealed that he could craft Disorderly Boat Talismans, though with a low success rate. After Jin left to gather materials, Chen Lin decided to seek red fruit so he could leave normally and examined a new gambling table with unfavorable odds.

• Jin Wanshan told Chen Lin that the casino connected to countless realms and explained how its gambling matches worked, including the recurring battles between the Black Cloud Kingdom and an alien race.

• Chen Lin revealed that he had entered through the Gate of Disorder using a single-use Disorderly Boat Talisman, and Jin asked him to craft another.
• Chen Lin gave Jin a list of materials and said he could make the talisman, though only about one attempt in twenty would succeed; Jin agreed to look for the materials and then left.
• Chen Lin decided to win enough red fruit to leave the casino normally, while keeping his uncertain-destination talisman as a last resort.
• Chen Lin examined a nearby gambling table where players bet on the order or number of temple bells ringing, and he saw that the house won if none rang before the incense burned out.

Chen Lin won a huge payout after correctly guessing every detail of a gourd’s contents, but he could not determine what had caused his uncanny success. Two children by a river revealed that one of them had broken the Casino’s rules to honor a promise to help someone carrying her token.

• Chen Lin used the Zodiac Rat’s Eavesdropping ability to understand the monks’ chanting, bet that the first bell would ring, and won two red fruits while gaining a boost to his karma origin essence.
• Chen Lin exchanged two red fruits with the Black-Robed Person for thirteen cyan fruits, then wagered one cyan fruit on a detailed guess about the gourd’s contents.
• The gourd produced ten peak-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, including one with seven-color patterns, exactly matching Chen Lin’s prediction.

• Beside a river, a child with upward pigtails questioned why the more mature child had broken the Casino’s rules, and the child explained that he had honored a promise to help someone carrying her token.

Chen Lin watched a horse-racing match, learned what the different colored fruits could buy, and placed small bets on a gambling match depicting Gambling Fortune Lake. When Niuniu appeared in the projection holding his old fishing rod, he realized the scene had taken place before they met.

• Chen Lin declined to race horses and asked Jin Wanshan about trading cyan fruits, learning that cyan fruits could extend life if comprehended or buy time in the Time Cultivation Chamber.
• Chen Lin recognized Gambling Fortune Lake in a new match, whose rules offered black fruits for correctly identifying what a fished-up treasure chest contained.
• Suspecting the match might have been arranged to help him, Chen Lin placed small bets on both betting methods and watched the projection closely.
• Chen Lin considered whether Xiaohua or the Flower Goddess might be helping him, but could not summon the Flower Goddess Phantom in the casino.
• Niuniu appeared in the projection with a fishing rod Chen Lin recognized as his own, leading him to conclude the scene happened before they met.

• Chen Lin joined the two straw figures Niuniu had made, confirmed they were a matching pair, and stored them in his Personal Bundle.
• Chen Lin exchanged Cyan Fruit with Jin Wanshan, then lost nine Gambling Matches in a row before stopping at an oddly shaped table.

After nine losses, Chen Lin won a high-stakes Gambling Match when a storm scattered the spirit plants into the positions he had chosen, proving his Talent Ability could work there. He received a money tree’s fruit as an extra reward, exchanged his haul for a hundred years in the Time Cultivation Chamber, and began cultivating with the Seven-Color Fruit.

• Chen Lin wagered three fruits of each color and assigned all twenty-four plant names to soil squares by drawing lots, while Feng Liuxian warned him about the risks.
• Chen Lin thought he had guessed the demon spirit holy flower incorrectly, but a sudden storm scattered the plants and left the flower in his chosen square, securing his win.
• The Dealer paid Chen Lin and confirmed that the money tree growing from the soil was his extra reward.
• Chen Lin shook the tree with his Transgressor Soul Origin Essence, gathered its fallen fruits, and ignored gamblers who tried to trade for them.
• Chen Lin exchanged fruits for a hundred years of access to the Time Cultivation Chamber, then began contemplating the Seven-Color Fruit.

Chen Lin fused his energies into a new seven-color fine thread, but the process destroyed the cultivation space and left him with almost no usable energy. After Dice Elder revived him, Chen Lin discovered the fusion had succeeded and learned he owed an enormous debt for the damage.

• After seven hundred years of cultivation, Chen Lin used a Seven-Color Profound Mystery Fruit to begin fusing the seven major laws and his other energies through his soul seed.
• Chen Lin endured ten painful fusion attempts, then swallowed dozens of fruits and gambled everything on completing the fusion as the cultivation space began collapsing.
• Chen Lin lost consciousness and later awoke in a room, where Dice Elder told him he had survived and would be billed for the costs.
• Chen Lin found that his energies had merged into a living seven-color fine thread, giving him a qualitative transformation but leaving the new origin essence too weak to sustain a great divine ability.
• Dice Elder presented Chen Lin with an enormous debt for destroying the cultivation space, and Chen Lin protested that the chamber had nearly killed him.

Chen Lin learned that his transformed energy had brushed against a taboo, then searched the treasure catalog for Endless Rubik's Cube fragments but found he needed a hundred Black Fruits to view it. At a new gambling match, he wagered all his Profound Mystery Fruits that the villagers would survive, and the chapter ended as the young man loosed an arrow at a little girl.

• Dice Elder told Chen Lin that his life-saving debt remained due with interest and warned him to use his newly formed energy carefully because it had brushed against a taboo.
• Chen Lin showed the treasure-exchange elder his eight Black Fruits and searched the catalog for Endless Rubik's Cube fragments, but learned he needed a hundred Black Fruits to view the complete catalog.
• Chen Lin joined Jin Wanshan at a gambling match where soldiers prepared to kill a group of villagers, and he tested his transformed talent ability.
• Chen Lin challenged the female Dealer to a side bet that the villagers would survive, staking all his Profound Mystery Fruits at ten to one.
• Jin Wanshan also bet on the villagers' survival, and the young man shot an arrow at a little girl as the match began.

Chen Lin won his bet when lightning saved the villagers, but the female dealer could not pay her side wager, so he claimed her as a servant under the casino’s rules. As he headed for other gambling tables, Jin Wanshan warned him that the casino was dangerous and urged him to leave before learning too much.

• Lightning struck near the little girl and among the attackers, allowing the villagers to defeat the soldiers without losing anyone.
• Dice Elder confirmed that the Gambling Table was functioning normally, and Chen Lin won his bet against the female dealer.
• The female dealer admitted she could not pay, so Chen Lin accepted her person as settlement and learned that she was Mo Ziyan, a Dominator Expert who owed the casino a large debt.
• Chen Lin left Mo Ziyan working as a dealer and asked Jin Wanshan about her past assignments.
• Jin Wanshan said he knew little about Mo Ziyan’s assignments and warned Chen Lin not to investigate the casino too deeply.

Chen Lin learned from Jin Wanshan that Chen Tiezhu had appeared in an old immersive Gambling Match and was still alive, though the match had taken place in Qingyan Country rather than Earth. As Jin Wanshan asked Chen Lin to deliver a message to his family if he escaped the Casino, Chen Lin also learned that Divine Maiden Buxi had obtained a mysterious Gemstone Necklace.

• Chen Lin questioned Jin Wanshan about a saying from Earth and learned it came from an immersive Gambling Match set in Qingyan Country more than a hundred years earlier.
• Jin Wanshan revealed that a youth named Chen Tiezhu had used the saying and produced a phantom image that confirmed Tiezhu was alive.
• Chen Lin treated Jin Wanshan to an expensive meal and asked him to recount the Gambling Match, learning it had taken place in Shadowless City and revolved around the Mandate Treasure Box.

• Jin Wanshan warned Chen Lin that Divine Maiden Buxi could exploit the Casino's rules, then asked him to deliver a message to his family if he escaped.

Chen Lin learned more about Outer Heaven and received a sealed message from Jin Wanshan, then investigated the dangerous Advanced Arena as a way to earn enough profound mystery fruits. He agreed to enter with Feng Liuxian only after demanding half of Feng Liuxian’s winnings if he followed Chen Lin’s bets.

• Jin Wanshan told Chen Lin that he came from the Long Spike Star Domain, described Outer Heaven’s missing Sovereign Lord and nine Heavenly Monarchs, and warned of beings above the ordinary Heavenly Dao.
• Jin Wanshan gave Chen Lin a sealed box to deliver to the Wandering Star Trading Firm in the Long Spike Star Domain if he reached Outer Heaven.
• Feng Liuxian told Chen Lin about the Advanced Arena and urged him to join an upcoming choice-based match, while Ziyan warned that its matches had a death rate as high as seventy percent and required participation after entry.
• Jin Wanshan advised Chen Lin to avoid the Advanced Arena and especially its last Gambling Table, but Chen Lin decided he needed the arena’s potential rewards to complete his objectives and repay his debt.
• Chen Lin met Feng Liuxian and agreed to enter the Advanced Arena on the condition that Feng Liuxian give him half the profound mystery fruits Feng won by following Chen Lin’s bets.

• Feng Liuxian tried to bargain down Chen Lin's share, but eventually agreed to give him half of any winnings.
• Chen Lin and Feng Liuxian entered the Advanced Arena, where they learned that each room charged a nonrefundable admission fee and its match could only be discovered by entering.

• Feng Liuxian suspected they had stumbled into a selection-type gambling match, while Chen Lin sat down to observe the game.

Chen Lin wagered that bandits would attack the caravan and specified their numbers, leader, casualties, and stolen chest, while several others placed bets on the chests being stolen. The match began with a white tiger attack that the caravan's guards swiftly repelled, and Chen Lin grew wary of the head guard, who seemed to notice the observers.

• Chen Lin used his talent ability and wagered all his advanced fruits that eighteen bandits led by a woman would appear after one hour, with twelve caravan members and nine bandits dying and one chest stolen.
• Hua Wuyue bet that no chests would be stolen, while Ma Niu bet that the caravan would be robbed; Divine Maiden Buxi and the red-clad woman bet that chests would be stolen, and Feng Liuxian followed their wager.
• Just before betting closed, Divine Maiden Buxi placed an additional wager matching Chen Lin's detailed bet.
• A pack of white tigers attacked the caravan, but one guard killed them all with a single strike.
• The caravan continued along the mountain road, and Chen Lin noticed that its head guard occasionally looked toward the observers in the sky.

Chen Lin correctly predicted that a woman riding a donkey would appear as a bandit and received a Heaven Crystal from Divine Maiden Buxi to restore his power. As the woman attacked the convoy guarded by a wielder of the Rivers and Mountains Sword, Chen Lin continued refining the crystal and prepared for the gambling match to develop further.

• Chen Lin asked whether entering the scene himself could satisfy his bet, and the dealer said it could not.
• A woman riding a donkey appeared exactly half an hour after the match began, confirming Chen Lin's prediction and impressing Divine Maiden Buxi.
• Buxi gave Chen Lin a Heaven Crystal, and he used the seven-color thread to refine it and absorb its energy while resisting the crystal's stray thoughts.
• The donkey-riding woman unleashed creatures from her wine gourd to seize the convoy's chests, while the guard leader used the Rivers and Mountains Sword to fight them off.
• Chen Lin suspected the sword might be connected to the Abandoned Land, prepared his technological weapons, and asked Buxi whether she had more Heaven Crystals.
• Buxi explained that she had obtained the crystal from the Casino's Treasure Vault, and Chen Lin thanked her and resolved to seek more treasures there.

Chun Jiuniang and Bafang Island’s bandits attacked the convoy, while Chen Lin watched from the gambling scenario and prepared to intervene. After a mysterious force killed Wang Buduan and Xiaohun Woman Jin Fengchai without leaving a trace, Chen Lin entered the arena with Buxi and Red Ribbon.

• Chun Jiuniang revealed that she was from Bafang Island and summoned eighteen bandits, including Kong Fang, Wang Buduan, and Jin Fengchai, to seize the shipment.
• Chen Lin negotiated with Buxi to share twenty percent of his winnings in exchange for her and Red Ribbon’s help if the scenario changed.
• Chun Jiuniang and Kong Fang trapped Dao Ziqing while Wang Buduan and Jin Fengchai attacked the convoy, using her dance to distract the guards as the bandits hauled away the carriages and chests.
• A Withered Old Man attacked Jin Fengchai with a dark dragon, while Wang Buduan suddenly lost his head and collapsed; the dragon then swallowed several of the bandits.
• Jin Fengchai returned to Chun Jiuniang without her head, bringing the bandit death toll to Chen Lin’s required nine, and Chen Lin entered the scenario with Buxi and Red Ribbon.

Chen Lin and his companions entered the battle between Bafang Island’s bandits and the convoy, where Ma Niu’s black pot restored two beheaded bandits and blocked an attack from the hidden Star-Plucking Guest. When Star-Plucking Guest appeared and incapacitated the low-level fighters, Chen Lin and his companions tried to secure them, prompting both sides to attack as the chapter ended with Xiaohun Woman confronting Chen Lin.

• Chen Lin, Buxi, and Red Ribbon arrived and found that Chun Jiuniang and the other fighters had reached the Dominator level; Chen Lin pretended he could mediate while searching for the hidden attacker.
• Ma Niu appeared with a Large Black Cauldron, restored Xiaohun Woman’s head, and used his black pot to deflect the Guard leader’s sword and withstand an unseen strike.
• Ma Niu restored Wang Buduan, who identified the hidden attacker as Star-Plucking Guest; Star-Plucking Guest then appeared, and his jade hand’s aura made the convoy’s guards, drivers, and cart pullers collapse.
• Chen Lin and Buxi rushed to move the fallen people into the Grotto-Heaven Treasure, while Ma Niu and Chun Jiuniang ordered attacks against them.
• Chun Jiuniang attacked Buxi, Greedy Ghost Kong Fang targeted Red Ribbon, and Xiaohun Woman used her Bewitching Divine Ability to confront Chen Lin.

Chen Lin defeated Chun Jiuniang’s group, forced Ma Niu to concede, and won a chest in the gambling match. After collecting his winnings, he declined Buxi’s invitation to enter the final room and left the Advanced Arena with the chest.

• Chen Lin resisted the Xiaohun Woman’s seduction, rescued several people, and struck Ma Niu’s Black Pot with a rainbow slash that cracked it and damaged his own saber.
• Ma Niu conceded, withdrew from the conflict, and promised Chen Lin a favor; Chun Jiuniang fled with the Xiaohun Woman and the others.
• The Star-Plucking Guest identified Chen Lin’s saber as the Heaven-Slaying Saber and agreed to give him a chest, while Chen Lin returned some surviving Guards and carriage drivers.
• The gamblers returned to the table, where the Dealer announced that the First and Second Zones had lost and all bets in the Third Zone had won; Chen Lin and Buxi collected their winnings.
• Buxi invited Chen Lin to join her in the final room, but he declined and left the Advanced Arena alone with the chest; Feng Liuxian left in silence.

Chen Lin opened his advanced-arena reward and found a blank letter whose hidden writing might depend on his fortune. Back in the Ordinary Arena, he sought rare supplies from Jin Wanshan, who could not provide anything on Chen Lin’s list but offered to show him a special item.

• Hua Wuyue persuaded Ma Niu to join him and other experts in a Gold Medal Room gambling match in three days.
• Chen Lin opened his reward chest before Dice Elder and found a blank envelope containing a blank sheet called a Wordless Letter.
• Chen Lin returned to the Ordinary Arena and met Jin Wanshan, who said his losses had left him close to being unable to pay interest.
• Chen Lin asked Jin Wanshan to trade for rare resources, but Jin Wanshan said his merchant association could not supply anything on the list.
• Jin Wanshan offered to show Chen Lin a special item instead.

• Chen Lin told Ziyan that her debt was paid and asked her to act as his representative while he pursued a way out of the Casino.
• Chen Lin showed Ziyan the Rubik's Cube Fragment and a picture of the White Sheep Token, promising to free her if she found either one.
• Ziyan warned Chen Lin that gold-tier gambling matches took place in a special space where powerful rule force suppressed outside methods.
• The Casino hall lit up as the staff prepared for the boss, and Chen Lin saw a group emerge from the central passage.

Chen Lin learned that the Casino boss Li Fugui had secretly helped him because of Niuniu, but warned him that he could use his talent ability only once more before the Casino’s rules struck back. After qualifying as a Gold-Badge Bettor, Chen Lin entered the Advanced Arena, where Buxi told him the upcoming Gold-Tier Gambling Match had a fixed scenario called Twenty-Four Nights.

• Li Fugui warned Chen Lin that his cheating had triggered the Casino’s rules and told him to pass a message to Niuniu, revealing that she had helped Chen Lin repay a past kindness.
• Chen Lin rejected Feng Liuxian as a gambling partner and decided to seek Buxi’s help for a Gold-Tier match, which could let him clear his debt and search the Treasure Vault for clues.
• Chen Lin bet on a high-odds arena match and watched a Burly Man win nine consecutive fights with a refined saber technique that gave Chen insight into strengthening his Open Heavens Secret Art.
• Chen Lin learned that tracing the match’s later events required Gold-Badge status and an unaffordable fee, then completed ten qualifying matches over three days and upgraded his status.
• Chen Lin entered the Advanced Arena, where Buxi greeted him and explained that the Gold-Tier match’s chosen scenario was called Twenty-Four Nights.

Chen Lin learned from Han Yu that Twenty-Four Nights might contain the Endless Rubik’s Cube Fragment, while the White Cloud Token belonged to the real White Cloud Pasture in Dandian Paradise. As the gold-tier gambling match began, Chen Lin joined Buxi’s group and studied the betting options at the entrance.

• Buxi warned Chen Lin that gold-tier gambling matches were mysterious and dangerous, and he agreed they should use their special methods to survive.
• Buxi told Chen Lin that the Shadow Scholar had vanished after participating in Twenty-Four Nights and pointed out Han Yu, a veteran gold-tier participant.
• Chen Lin paid Han Yu to learn that the Shadow Scholar’s fragment might be in Twenty-Four Nights and that the White Cloud Token belonged to the real White Cloud Pasture in Dandian Paradise.
• Han Yu explained that Dandian Paradise had introduced cultivation to the star domain and that many unusual entertainment venues might be connected to it.
• The staff announced the start of Twenty-Four Nights, and Chen Lin, Buxi, Red Ribbon, and Buxi’s other companions approached the entrance to place their bets.

Chen Lin entered the gold-tier gambling match after obtaining a Rubik's Cube Fragment and wagered that seven participants—three men, three women, and one special life-form—would survive twenty-four nights. After surviving an ambush and reaching safety, he began the A Single Beacon side match, where he had to keep exactly one village lamp lit until dawn.

• Chen Lin sensed certain death at the Light Gate, borrowed black fruits from Buxi, and obtained a Rubik's Cube Fragment from the Treasure Vault, changing his fate to reveal a chance at survival.
• Chen Lin wagered three hundred advanced fruits that seven people of specified kinds would survive twenty-four nights, and Buxi and Red Ribbon followed his bet.
• Chen Lin entered the Light Gate alone, fell into a dark city, and fled attacking shadows until he escaped through a sturdy gate and received two points for completing the Fall to Ashes stage.
• Chen Lin chose the A Single Beacon side match and learned that he had to keep exactly one lamp lit in the village until dawn or become the lamp's fuel.
• Chen Lin considered his remaining plans: follow the match's rules, search for the final Rubik's Cube Fragment, or attempt to escape the scenario.

Chen Lin explored the village during the first night of the additional gambling match, fought off the walls and gate when they attacked, and rescued Gu Youlan from a grove. Gu Youlan’s innate pure essence strengthened his seven-color energy nearly twofold, and Chen Lin asked whether she could use it only once.

• Chen Lin damaged an earthen wall, triggering an attack by two earthen dragons and a blood-red gate, which he destroyed with his saber.
• Chen Lin heard a gambler calling for help from a grove and sensed that Gu Youlan was trapped inside a cocoon among the hostile trees.
• Chen Lin used his saber to clear the grove’s leaves and roots, then pulled Gu Youlan’s cocoon over the wall and freed her.
• Gu Youlan offered to strengthen Chen Lin’s energy with her innate pure essence and asked him to take her along through the gambling match; Chen Lin agreed on the condition that they would fight as equals.
• Chen Lin and Gu Youlan performed dual cultivation, strengthening Chen Lin’s seven-color energy nearly twofold.
• After introducing himself as Chen Lin of the Kaiyuan Sect, Chen Lin asked Gu Youlan whether her innate pure essence could be used only once.

Chen Lin and Gu Youlan reached the residence where Chen Lin hoped to find a lamp for his A Single Beacon match, fighting off transformed guards on the way. They found the lamp in a side room, but an old woman and a lantern-carrying boy emerged and marked them as food.

• Gu Youlan told Chen Lin that her additional match was Unscathed and revealed that she had seen a faint light in a residence beyond the woods.
• Chen Lin and Gu Youlan crossed the woods and fought hazy figures; Chen Lin weakened them with the Soul-Destroying Finger, and Gu Youlan identified one as a transformed residence guard.
• Chen Lin broke through the residence gates and followed Gu Youlan to the back courtyard, where they spotted the lit side room.
• An old woman emerged from the room, called Chen Lin and Gu Youlan snacks for a hungry child, and a large-headed boy appeared carrying a red lantern that bathed the residence in red light.

Chen Lin and Gu Youlan were captured in the courtyard, where Liu the Cook secretly proposed helping them escape by restoring their strength. Chen Lin saw through Liu’s shifting plans and launched an attack, leaving the rainbow light and the sage’s protective halo locked in a standoff as he summoned a seven-colored tower.

• The servants washed Chen Lin and Gu Youlan with well water, which weakened them but purified their power and souls.
• Liu the Cook secretly offered to help Chen Lin and Gu Youlan kill Third Granny and take the Dawnstar Lantern, and Chen Lin agreed to cooperate.
• Liu stabbed Chen Lin and Gu Youlan together, triggering a powerful yin-yang convergence that restored and strengthened them both.
• Third Granny refused to leave the sage-protected room, so Liu proposed turning the pair into soup and having them attack from inside Young Master Big Head.
• Chen Lin rejected Liu’s plan and unleashed rainbow light over the courtyard, but Third Granny’s white halo blocked it; Chen then struck down the servants and summoned a seven-colored tower.
