Chapter Summaries

Yang Ling gathered Lin Caiyi and the others to explain the Grandmaster Network, where he had rapidly gained levels and encountered aliens. He gave them powerful Iron Bear Sets, and they pledged to follow him through fire and water.

• Lin Caiyi, Qin Mo, Li Shou, Zhang Shendao, and the others met outside the Iron Clothes Department after seeing Yang Ling reach level 532 on the Divine Realm Rank List.
• Zhang Wei led them to Yang Ling, who explained that the Grandmaster Network offered rapid leveling, abundant resources, and contact with many alien civilizations.
• Yang Ling gave them ten Iron Bear Sets that required level 50, boosted both attributes by 60 points, and granted the Petrified Skin skill.
• The group equipped the sets and marveled at the boost to their combat strength.
• Qin Mo said he would test his abilities in a Registered Rank assessment, and everyone vowed to follow Yang Ling through fire and water.

Yang Ling outfitted the players in his courtyard with Iron Bear and Flying Eagle Sets, arranged their rank assessments, and warned them to avoid Fire Flood Dragon Island. Later, he tried to inspect Zhao Chongxu’s attributes with his Dharma Eye and passed out when Zhao Chongxu sensed it.

• Yang Ling promised Iron Bear Sets to players who reached Level 50 and gave Flying Eagle Sets to those below that level.
• Yang Ling told the group to send equipment to their comrades at the mines, recall those still on Fire Flood Dragon Island, and stay away from the island because trouble might arise there.
• Yang Ling arranged registered rank assessments for the players and went to meet Zhao Chongxu.
• Yang Ling used the Forest of All Phenomena Dharma Eye to view Zhao Chongxu’s attributes, but Zhao Chongxu noticed the divine ability before the panel appeared.
• Yang Ling passed out, and Zhao Chongxu wondered whether he had been attacked before concluding that the Dharma Eye explained Yang Ling’s skill at solving cases and catching Rong Tribe Spies.

Yang Ling warned Zhao Chongxu that the Great Dream Dynasty might send experts to Fire Flood Dragon Island, revealing that his Dharma Eye could see distant events. He then traveled to the island, where the Divine Ape Spirit Body appeared and remarked on his cultivation.

• Zhao Chongxu and Li Zhong discussed Yang Ling’s Dharma Eye and the Great Dream Dynasty’s spies, while Yang Ling pretended to be asleep and listened.
• Yang Ling told Zhao Chongxu that he had seen Nangong Fengge seek help from the Cicada-Holding Directorate’s Grand Ancestor over Fire Flood Dragon Island.
• Zhao Chongxu judged the threat manageable, suspected the Crimson-Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect’s old ancestor was still alive, and urged Yang Ling to visit the Divine Martial King’s Capital.
• Yang Ling left for Fire Flood Dragon Island instead of the Sifang Inn, reflecting on immortals who might become exotic beasts as they aged.
• Yang Ling reached Fire Flood Dragon Island, sensed several third-rank auras, and encountered the Divine Ape Spirit Body.

Ji Tianming told Yang Ling that the Grand Ancestor of the Cicada-Holding Directorate might come to subdue him, and explained that advancing to First Rank would cost him his reason unless he could attain the Divine Dao Realm through the Divine Ape Visualization. He asked Yang Ling to find Zhao De in the Abyssal Beast Cavern and persuade him to kill the Grand Ancestor, leaving Yang Ling to decide whether to risk being beaten if Zhao De did not recognize him.

• Yang Ling warned Ji Tianming that Nangong Fengge had gone to ask the Grand Ancestor of the Cicada-Holding Directorate to subdue him.
• Ji Tianming explained that his injured body had become a Flood Dragon and that merging his Primordial Spirit with it would make him a First Rank Land Immortal but turn him into a mindless Exotic Beast.
• Ji Tianming revealed that the Divine Ape Visualization could let him attain immortality through his Primordial Spirit if he advanced it from Return to Simplicity to the Divine Dao Realm.
• Yang Ling realized that players could potentially gather enough experience to reach the Divine Dao Realm and planned to develop his Diamond White Bone Mingwang Technique and other skills.
• Ji Tianming asked Yang Ling to find Zhao De in the Abyssal Beast Cavern and ask him to kill the Grand Ancestor, warning that Yang Ling would be beaten if Zhao De did not acknowledge him.

Yang Ling agreed to travel through a hidden passage beneath Fire Cloud Cave to reach Jiayi City and seek help from Zhao De for Ji Tianming. Ji Tianming gave him six Martial Way Sacred Medicines as gifts and warned him not to eat them.

• Yang Ling proposed becoming Ji Tianming’s Spirit Pet, but Ji Tianming explained that Yang Ling’s cultivation was too low and that he needed Zhao De’s help instead.
• Ji Tianming revealed that a fragile, secret passage beneath Fire Cloud Cave led directly to Jiayi City, though it might close after only a few more openings.
• Yang Ling agreed to travel through the passage despite the risk that he might not be able to return, and Ji Tianming told him to prepare gifts for Zhao De.
• Yang Ling returned to Zhao State’s Capital, left the Flying Eagle Set with Lin Caiyi and the others, and told them he might be gone a long time.
• Ji Tianming led Yang Ling through Fire Cloud Cave and showed him the passage beneath the lava, then gave him three Dragon Blood Bodhi and three Water Bodhi as gifts for Zhao De.

Yang Ling learned that Martial Way Sacred Medicines could delay Land Immortals' transformation into exotic beasts, then returned to the Abyssal Beast Cavern and went to the Cicada-Holding Directorate. There he confronted Zhao De, called him “Master,” and waited to see how he would respond.

• Ji Tianming explained that Martial Way Sacred Medicines had different effects at different cultivation stages and could delay a Land Immortal's transformation into an exotic beast.
• Yang Ling took the six medicines, entered Ji Tianming's passage, and emerged in the Abyssal Beast Cavern as the fissure vanished.
• At the Cicada-Holding Directorate, Yang Ling overheard that Zhao De had ordered the Divine Guard Office to search for him.
• Yang Ling persuaded a eunuch to escort him to Zhao De and asked that everyone leave them alone.
• Yang Ling identified himself to Zhao De and called him “Master,” leaving their master-disciple relationship uncertain.

Yang Ling met Zhao De and convinced him that their past encounters and master-disciple bond in a dream had been real to him. After accepting Yang Ling as his disciple and receiving the First Rank Immortal King Armor, Zhao De agreed to keep the Cicada-Holding Directorate's Grand Ancestor from leaving the Abyssal Beast Cavern, then ordered Yang Ling to kowtow again because the dream's bows did not count.

• Yang Ling told Zhao De that Ji Tianming had sent him, and Zhao De recognized Yang Ling from a dream in which he had taught him the Candle Dragon Seven-Star Sword Technique.
• Zhao De confirmed Yang Ling had mastered the technique and accepted him as his disciple after learning he had gained power in the dream.
• Yang Ling delivered Ji Tianming's request for Zhao De to deal with the Grand Ancestor and presented him with the First Rank Immortal King Armor and six Martial Way Sacred Medicines.
• Zhao De put on the armor, praised its power, and promised to keep the Grand Ancestor from leaving the Abyssal Beast Cavern.
• Yang Ling insisted that the dream's events had been real to him, and Zhao De told him to kowtow again because the ones in the dream did not count.

Yang Ling ate Water Bodhi and Dragon Blood Bodhi under Zhao De’s guidance, gaining levels and a powerful new form for his White Bone Origin Spirit Method. Zhao De planned to arrange a Cicada-Holding Directorate identity and obtain an internal skill for him, but Yang Ling demonstrated a way to hide in the grandmaster network.

• Zhao De examined Yang Ling’s foundation and gave him three Water Bodhi to improve his bone structure.
• Yang Ling ate all three Water Bodhi, gained sixty levels, and assigned the free attribute points to agility.
• Zhao De explained Dragon Blood Bodhi’s rare chance to enhance a skill, and Yang Ling’s first two attempts failed.
• Yang Ling’s third Dragon Blood Bodhi successfully added the White Bone Loose Immortal Form to his White Bone Origin Spirit Method.
• Zhao De offered to arrange a Cicada-Holding Directorate identity and seek an internal skill from the Grand Ancestor, but Yang Ling said he could hide.
• Yang Ling vanished into the grandmaster network, evaded Zhao De’s citywide search, then reappeared and startled him.

Yang Ling reunited with Zhao De, explained why he had avoided selling Treasure-Hiding Talismans in Zhao State, and arranged to return there with his master after Zhao De dealt with the Grand Ancestor. After Yang Ling vanished using his concealment method, Zhao De went to meet the Grand Ancestor, while Yang Ling returned to Song Yu Plaza and faced Ding Zong’s demand for an apology amid a bounty against him.

• Zhao De questioned Yang Ling about his Pass Permit and learned that Yang Ling had supplied the Treasure-Hiding Talismans that drew the Nine Immortal Talisman Sect’s attention.
• Yang Ling recounted how the Crown Prince and Qi Baiyan took his credit, how Qi Baiyan ambushed him, and how Ying Taisui and Qi Tairan later targeted him.
• Zhao De advised Yang Ling to sell Basic Treasure-Hiding Talismans in the Abyssal Beast Cavern and promised to accompany him back to Zhao State after settling the Grand Ancestor matter.
• Yang Ling used his concealment method to disappear, and Zhao De searched for him before concluding that he had entered a dream and left Jiayi City.
• Zhao De departed the Cicada-Holding Directorate with his attendants to visit the Grand Ancestor.
• At Song Yu Plaza, Ding Zong told Yang Ling that the top corporations and the Flame Dragon Dynasty had backed a forced mission bounty against him, then demanded that he apologize in exchange for trying to quash it.

Yang Ling insulted Ding Zong and a group of powerful Players from top-ranked games, refusing to back down despite their threats. After Kuang Tu revealed that he had been threatened for trading with Yang Ling and disappeared from his friends list, Yang Ling turned his fury on the gathered heirs.

• Yang Ling called Ding Zong and the so-called top-tier big shots trash, and Ding Zong vowed to target Divine Domain Players until the game was eliminated.
• Players from Wildlands, Violet Palace, and Azure Firmament arrived, and Young Master Lei mocked Yang Ling while a Violet Palace Player questioned him about Divine Domain's strength.
• Yang Ling challenged the visitors to hunt him down, bragged that he had killed Ye Divine Fist, and traded insults with Young Master Lei.
• Kuang Tu told Yang Ling that someone had threatened his family if he traded with him again, then vanished from Yang Ling's friends list.
• Yang Ling pointed at the privileged heirs and furiously called them all trash.

Huo Si joined Yang Ling as Young Master Lei and Ding Zong threatened to blacklist them, while Yang Ling tried to sell Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pills despite their pressure. Wen Qingyao offered to buy the pills and invited Yang Ling to a Youluo City survival mission, which began as soon as he joined.

• Huo Si told Yang Ling he could not be easily found or targeted, while Young Master Lei claimed he had ordered a bounty against him.
• Yang Ling announced that he had two hundred Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pills for sale after Kuang Tu stopped working with him under threats.
• Yang Ling priced the pills at nineteen hundred trade points each, and Young Master Lei warned players that buying from him would make them enemies of the corporations.
• Wen Qingyao sent Yang Ling a friend request and invited him to join the Youluo Three Days mission, offering to buy his pills.
• Yang Ling joined the five-person Middle Third Rank survival mission, and it began immediately, leaving Ding Zong uneasy about the tempting pill price.

Yang Ling sold Wen Qingyao’s group two hundred Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pills, then sensed that one of her companions was hiding something about the Youluo Three Days mission. Wen Qingyao admitted they had been sent by a corporation to keep the pills off the market, though she said they only intended to trade privately.

• Yang Ling accepted 380,000 Trade Points from Wen Qingyao for two hundred Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pills and handed over the pills after the group inspected them.
• Yang Ling asked Wen Qingyao’s group about other goods and the dangers of Youluo Three Days, and she explained that surviving Youluo City depended on high Mental Power and avoiding special bosses.
• Wen Qingyao lit a four-stick incense burner that she said would reduce the risks inside Youluo City.
• Yang Ling sensed that one of Wen Qingyao’s companions was nervous and accused him of lying about the reason.
• Wen Qingyao admitted that a corporation had sent them to trade privately and prevent the Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pills from entering the market.

Yang Ling uncovered Wen Qingyao’s plan to use the Soul-Returning Incense to escape Youluo Three Days and leave him facing increased difficulty, then forced her to return the Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pill. After learning that a day in Youluo City equaled a year in the mortal world, he heard that Ding Zong had given Wen Qingyao the mission qualification, and she offered to reveal Ding Zong’s whereabouts if Yang Ling could get them out alive.

• Yang Ling realized the four sticks of Soul-Returning Incense were meant to let Wen Qingyao’s team withdraw while increasing the mission difficulty for him, and he attacked them before the incense burned out.
• Yang Ling killed two players, restrained Chen Zhiming, crushed the incense burner, and demanded the Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pill from Wen Qingyao.
• Wen Qingyao explained that teammate deaths increased the mission difficulty and that one day in Youluo City lasted a year in the mortal world.
• Wen Qingyao returned the pill and asked Yang Ling to take them out of Youluo City, while Chen Zhiming warned that the mission’s increased difficulty would be fatal.
• Chen Zhiming said Wen Qingyao had pursued Yang Ling for a bounty and Flame Dragon Dynasty Merit Points, and Wen Qingyao revealed that Ding Zong of the Mystic Antiquity Ding Clan Pill Group had given her the mission qualification.

Yang Ling refused to enter Youluo City and insisted he could kill the Youluo King, despite Wen Qingyao and Chen Zhiming warning him about the danger. Wen Qingyao offered a Gold-Grade Pangu Skill Exchange Voucher, and Yang Ling agreed to spare her in exchange while adding Chen Zhiming’s life for free.

• Yang Ling doubted Wen Qingyao’s claims about Ding Zong and questioned whether she really had 3,000 points of Mental Power.
• Yang Ling said he would not kill Wen Qingyao and Chen Zhiming outside the city, while they explained the mission’s countdown and the danger posed by the Youluo King.
• Chen Zhiming described the mission’s survival rewards, and Wen Qingyao explained why killing the spirit-entity Youluo King was nearly impossible.
• Yang Ling refused to enter Youluo City and declared that he would kill the Youluo King himself.
• Wen Qingyao offered Yang Ling a Gold-Grade Pangu Internal Energy Skill Exchange Voucher, and Yang Ling accepted while offering to spare Chen Zhiming as well.

Yang Ling chose to stay behind and fight the Youluo King rather than flee, using his White Bone Emperor manifestation to defeat the boss and earn an SS+ quest rating. After Wen Qingyao revealed that the order to target him came through the Immortal Network, the Youluo King attacked and was swiftly devoured by the White Bone Emperor.

• Wen Qingyao gave Yang Ling her Gold-Grade Skill Exchange Voucher, and he stored it for later use.
• Yang Ling refused to enter Youluo City, explaining that he wanted the reward for killing the Youluo King, while Wen Qingyao and Chen Zhiming stayed behind with him.
• Yang Ling activated his skills and equipment, then manifested the fifty-meter-tall White Bone Emperor.
• The Youluo King emerged from Youluo City, and Wen Qingyao told Yang Ling that the Immortal Network had assigned her the task of targeting him.
• Yang Ling's Forest of All Phenomena Dharma Eye raised his Mental Power above ten thousand, and the White Bone Emperor seized and devoured the Youluo King.
• The quest system awarded Yang Ling an SS+ rating for killing the Youluo King.

Yang Ling and his companions completed the mission after the White Bone Emperor inexplicably killed the Youluo King, earning him powerful rewards. Back at Song Yu Plaza, Yang Ling planned to save his new potion and voucher for a future breakthrough before facing the people watching him.

• Chen Zhiming and Wen Qingyao received the quest completion notification and realized that Yang Ling had defeated the Youluo King, while Yang Ling wondered why the White Bone Emperor had acted on its own.
• Yang Ling concealed his exhaustion as the Youluo King's experience restored his Mental Power and leveled him up seven times, reaching level 599.
• Yang Ling offered to take future escort missions for rare skill exchange vouchers, herbs, or attribute-increasing pills, and Wen Qingyao reconsidered his strength and background.
• The mission rewards gave Yang Ling 1,000 Mental Power and an Intermediate Bloodline Gene Mutation Potion, while Chen Zhiming and Wen Qingyao each received 100 Mental Power.
• After the mission ended, Chen Zhiming and Wen Qingyao left, and Yang Ling returned to Song Yu Plaza with 380,000 Trade Points and a Gold-Grade Skill Exchange Voucher as well as his other rewards.
• Yang Ling decided to save the potion and voucher until after his Forced Mission and turned to ask why Ding Zong, Young Master Lei, and the others were still watching him.

Yang Ling faced questions after word spread that he had cleared the hardest route in Youluo Three Days and killed the Youluo King in one hit. He refused to sell his Divine Weapon but offered paid speed-clearing services, leaving the gathered factions to consider whether they could still do business with him.

• Young Master Lei suspected Yang Ling's attempted Black Tiger Spirit Nurturing Pills trade had failed, but a Purple Mansion player revealed that he had cleared the hardest Youluo Three Days route.
• The Purple Mansion player reported that Yang Ling killed the Youluo King in one hit despite the mission difficulty increasing after he killed two Flame Dragon Dynasty members.
• The Purple Mansion player offered Yang Ling 300,000 Trade Points for his supposed Divine Weapon, while Yang Ling wondered whether the Flame Dragon Dynasty had concealed the White Bone Emperor's existence.
• Yang Ling refused to sell the weapon and offered to help eligible players speed-clear Youluo Three Days for a commission.
• Young Master Lei and the others left to consult their elders, while Yang Ling told Huo Si he would explain the mission privately.

Yang Ling warned Huo Si about the Flame Dragon Dynasty’s schemes, then searched for a mission while planning to keep leveling before his Forced Mission. Ding Zhan contacted him about entering Youluo Three Days together, and Yang Ling demanded skill exchange vouchers as payment for escorting the clan’s disciples.

• Yang Ling told Huo Si to stay wary of the War Martial He Credit Group and avoid teaming up casually, while Huo Si planned to attend War Martial’s Black Market and spend his Trade Points on strength.
• Yang Ling searched the Quest Hall for a suitable Eight-Star Mission that would take less than seven days, then accepted Ding Zhan’s repeated Friend Request.
• Yang Ling confronted Ding Zhan about the Blacklist and bounty, and Ding Zhan explained that his family wanted him to arrange a Youluo Three Days mission because Mission Escort was not forbidden.
• Ding Zhan offered to send four clan disciples into Youluo Three Days without an escort fee, or proposed paying 50,000 Trade Points’ worth of pills or Rare Flowers and Herbs if a designated disciple killed the Youluo King.
• Yang Ling insisted that he would kill the Youluo King and demanded Silver-Grade and Gold-Grade Skill Exchange Vouchers as payment, offering a Mission Activation Fee Rebate after the mission.

Yang Ling negotiated a trial escort deal with the Mystic Antiquity Ding Clan Pill Group, whose leaders agreed to send four people into Youluo Three Days with him. The chapter ended as Yang Ling collected the agreed payment and considered how many times he could use the clan’s eighteen mission entries to raise his mental power.

• Ding Zhan relayed Yang Ling’s proposed payment to the Ding Clan executives, and Ding Sinan argued that Youluo Three Days could greatly improve their disciples’ mental power.
• The executives negotiated a smaller payment and asked Yang Ling to let their people try to kill the Youluo King; Yang Ling agreed to the revised terms without guaranteeing the kill.
• Ding Sinan selected four participants, including Ding Zhan’s younger sister, for a trial run with Yang Ling.
• Yang Ling met the four participants at Youluo City, told them to follow his directions, and asked for ten Basic Treasure-Hiding Talismans and a hundred Counterfeit Tyrant Blood Pills.
• Yang Ling accepted the payment and realized that the clan’s eighteen entry opportunities could let him run Youluo Three Days repeatedly.

Yang Ling led Ding Jiangyao and the other Ding clan disciples through Youluo Three Days by killing the Youluo King as soon as it respawned. Although the quest rating and some rewards were reduced, he reached level 600, obtained a Diamond Treasure Chest, and confirmed what it was to the stunned group.

• Ding Jiangyao gave Yang Ling Basic Treasure-Hiding Talismans and Counterfeit Tyrant Blood Pills, and he paid her a fifty-thousand-Trade-Point commission.
• Yang Ling waited with the Ding clan disciples for the Youluo King to respawn, then used the Diamond White Bone Mingwang Technique and Forest of All Phenomena Dharma Eye to kill it instantly.
• The quest awarded an A+ rating instead of the previous SS+ rating, leaving Yang Ling furious about the reduced rewards.
• Yang Ling leveled up and became the first super player among 140 million Divine Domain players to reach level 600, earning a Diamond Treasure Chest.
• Yang Ling received a Youluo King Bone Finger and 1,000 Mental Power, then confirmed to Ding Yunxi that the chest was a Diamond Treasure Chest.
