Festival of Lights · Diwali
Ma Feifei gained a new cook, accepted Lian Yi’s offer to join the Great Desolation Relic, and led the Mysterious Bookstore through a Phoenix God event. The anniversary began with seven-colored rain and a growing crowd, as Teng Shangqing confronted Luan Feng at the entrance.
The Mysterious Bookstore celebrated its anniversary as Luan Feng’s defense of the event brought Vast Academy into conflict with the bookstore. Ma Feifei later learned that Liuli was the bookstore’s Book Immortal daughter and faced the danger of a Tribulation Book she had given Cang Lan.
Ma Feifei’s anniversary gifts helped Zhang Yunji reach the Spirit Saint realm, while Mo Xie emerged from Nine Abyss and revealed the dangers of becoming immortal. At Vast Academy, Ma Feifei met Wan Jianshan, learned about the book essences draining him and the Thousand Leaf Tree, and began to wonder whether he was a book author himself.
Ma Feifei’s journey to recruit a giant tortoise led back to the Four Spirit Pillars and Cang Lan’s entry into her Memory Tribulation. After reliving her painful past and falling into the Luo River, Cang Lan rose unharmed as the river’s water entered her body.
Cang Lan ascended to the Immortal Realm, while Ma Feifei strengthened his bookstore and sent Mo Xie to recruit the thirty-six people named in the Investiture of the Gods. On the journey to the Great Desolation Relic, Ma Feifei found the Confucian Dao Academy nearly abandoned and began working to restore it through Mu Qingyi.
Ma Feifei led his companions through the Great Desolation Relic’s chessboard, defeated its opposing general, and won a book duel against Zhang Ke. After Mo Xie captured four rulers with the Investiture of the Gods and brought it to Ma Feifei, the Qin–Yan war halted and suspicion fell on Chu Kingdom.
Ma Feifei launched the Walking Books event, drawing powerful figures and their readers to the Mysterious Bookstore as conflicts in the kingdoms escalated. As Qin Shi Huang defeated an assassination attempt and Yun Qingyang’s Martial Arts Diagrams gained new effects, Ma Feifei used the Investiture of the Gods to preserve the dying Zuo Duanshou.
Ma Feifei intervened in the Qin-Yan war, recruited Book-holding women, and concluded the Walking Books task as Qin Shi Huang pursued his enemies. Zhang Ke then attacked Dubian Town, and his capture exposed how authors from the Book Battle Continent had stripped the Azure Dragon Continent of its strongest cultivators.
Ma Feifei restored the Great Dao, learned how the Azure Dragon Continent’s story shaped its people, and reached the Immortal Realm through the imperial examination. After the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey took Zhang Ke and Xun Ling away, Ma Feifei returned to find Dubian Town devastated and its residents blaming the Mysterious Bookstore.
Ma Feifei revived the dead of Dubian Town as Book Servants, expanded the Mysterious Bookstore, and faced renewed attacks from Zhang Ke and Xun Ling. The arc ended with Ma Feifei confronting their army in the starry sky, where he learned the system had raised him only to the Third-Grade Immortal Realm.
Ma Feifei assembled a team to enter the Mythic-grade story Hou Yi Shoots Down Nine Suns and battled its beasts to reach the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. After missing his first shot, he bought archery skill and began destroying the suns, leaving the expedition still underway.
Ma Feifei entered the Book Battle Continent’s papermaking trade, then returned to the Mysterious Bookstore for Yun Qingyang’s birthday. He later came back to the Book Battle Continent to establish paper production and encountered Xun Ling while escaping the Book Fragrance Family with Yi He.
Ma Feifei took refuge with Yi He after stealing Xun Ling's paper, then investigated a captive dragon while seeking Li Chenzhou's release. His display of powerful books earned him an assessment at the Author Assessment Guild, where his clash with the Book God Pillar caused the Book God Palace to collapse.
No recap yet. An arc gets one once it has 25 chapters.
