Chapter Summaries

Lingling led the Xuandu Hunter's Group into the High Sky Sandstorm, using Leng Qing's Earth Fortress Protection and the team's defensive magic to withstand its force. After the fortress collapsed, Bai Mo's Mountain Soul Protection helped the group advance, but their Light Mages were already running out of Magic Energy after traveling only five hundred meters.

• Lingling ordered the group to rest after their battle, and Bai Mo used the time to cultivate an Indian summoning secret technique by splitting his summoning contract's soul connection in two.
• Bai Mo noticed the sky darkening, and Lingling identified the approaching darkness as the High Sky Sandstorm and said they would have to pass through it.
• Lingling organized the group's defenses, and Leng Qing formed an Earth Fortress Protection around them while Bai Mo cast Mountain Soul Protection.
• After the fortress collapsed, the defensive mages used Light Fall Myriad Feet as the group moved into the sandstorm, with Bai Mo's Mountain Soul Protection briefly shielding them when a Light spell failed.
• The group advanced about five hundred meters through the sandstorm, and both Light Mages warned Lingling that they were nearly out of Magic Energy.

Bai Mo and the Xuandu Hunter's Group crossed the High Sky Sandstorm using layered defenses and two consecutive teleports. After escaping, they fought Rock Venom Centipedes and continued through the desert, where their journey became calmer but they remained cautious of hidden beasts.

• Lingling assigned Bai Mo to lead the defense, and he protected the group with Retreat Three Shelters while two Earth Mages formed Thousand Layer Armor.
• After Lingling approved the plan, Bai Mo teleported the armored team twice through the storm, bringing them beneath clear skies.
• Lingling and Ding Yumian warned the group that creatures were emerging from under the sand, and Rock Venom Centipedes attacked, severing one Hunter Mage's lower leg.
• Wen Du burned a centipede without damaging its Insect Heart, and Lingling used the heart to neutralize the injured mage's poison.
• Bai Mo teleported the group away from the swarm, then used Sound String - Probe while Ding Yumian sensed for danger as they traveled onward.
• The group reached a stretch of desert with cacti, confirmed the plants showed no sign of being demon beasts, and continued cautiously.

Bai Mo’s group crossed the fire-poison cactus desert, parted ways with the Xuandu Hunter's Group, and continued toward the Pamir Plateau. They found the immense Line of Heaven canyon, where powerful winds forced them to rely on the Divine Dust Tiger’s gravity and Leng Qing’s Gen Earth Profound Yellow Order to enter.

• Liu Long and the other Hunters nearly fought until Ding Yumian calmed them, and Lingling identified fire poison from the cacti as the cause of their irritability.
• The group used wind magic and antidotes to leave the poisoned cactus desert, then parted ways with the Xuandu Hunter's Group at the Gobi wasteland.
• Bai Mo’s group rode the Divine Dust Tiger toward the Pamir Plateau and endured a powerful crosswind that blew them back.
• They found the towering wall and its Line of Heaven canyon, where Big Orange used gravity to resist the gale and Bai Mo shielded him with soul light.
• The Divine Dust Tiger entered the canyon, but crushing wind pressure forced the group to brace themselves as they tried to advance.

Bai Mo and his companions reached a canyon guarded by two Lesser Monarch Blood Eye Flower Ravens and a flock of cursed birds. As Leng Qing and Jiang Feng fought the ravens, Bai Mo used Time Essence to mature Brightmoon, who joined the battle and prepared a devastating thunder attack.

• Bai Mo expanded his Origin Domain and realized the canyon winds were chaotic but no longer continuously descending.
• Bai Mo and his companions discovered a vast canyon, a towering stone gate, and a flock of Blood Eye Flower Ravens led by two Lesser Monarchs.
• Ding Yumian shielded the group from the ravens’ undead curses, while Leng Qing and Jiang Feng fought the Monarchs and Bai Mo’s companions held off the flock.
• Bai Mo gave Time Essence to Brightmoon and another Contracted Beast, and Brightmoon matured into an adult form.
• Brightmoon joined Leng Qing, battered one Blood Eye Flower Raven with Qiongyu Tribulation Thunder, and summoned a massive Thunder Dragon Claw to strike it.

Bai Mo and his companions defeated the Blood-Eyed Flower Ravens and reached an ancient village hidden in the storm canyon, where Wind Spirit absorbed the abundant Wind Element and mastered a new cang yellow wind. Wind Spirit then indicated that an even higher-grade wind was being nurtured above the Heavenly Gate, leaving Bai Mo astonished.

• Brightmoon killed a Blood-Eyed Flower Raven Monarch, while the super-evolved Divine Dust Tiger used gravity and petrification to crush thousands of Commander Level Blood-Eyed Flower Ravens.
• Brightmoon and the Divine Dust Tiger joined the other Elemental Holy Spirit to kill the second Blood-Eyed Flower Raven Monarch, ending the battle.
• Bai Mo, Leng Qing, Ding Yumian, and Lingling explored the calm inner canyon and discovered ancient ruins, an altar, and a well-preserved statue resembling a Blood-Eyed Flower Raven.
• Bai Mo summoned Wind Spirit beside the statue, and she absorbed the canyon's Wind Element until she transformed and mastered a cang yellow wind.
• Wind Spirit demonstrated that her new wind could bore into a cliff and push a huge boulder, then pointed to the Heavenly Gate to indicate that an even higher-grade wind was forming above it.

Bai Mo discovered that the ancient altar belonged to Jingwei and restored its damaged Totem Artifact, the Soul Refining Pot, which refined souls and strengthened his cultivation. After his group crossed the desert and returned to the city, he found messages reporting that Mo Fan’s team had finished the Sahara rescue and Egyptian national team battles and was training in Pusini.

• Bai Mo let the Wind Spirit retreat to the Summoning Plane as her Wind Element cultivation continued rising after she absorbed the canyon’s energy.
• Bai Mo, Lingling, and Ding Yumian recognized Jingwei’s Totem pattern on the bird statue and identified the mural as the legend of Jingwei Filling the Sea.
• Bai Mo restored the damaged jug with his Magic Energy and discovered it was the Soul Refining Pot, a Totem vessel that refined Remnant Souls into Essence Souls and aided cultivation.
• Bai Mo tested the Soul Refining Pot and found that it could combine a great many Servant-level Essence Souls into a single Warrior Level Essence Soul.
• Bai Mo’s group chose to return through the desert, crossed it safely over the following week, and entered the city.
• Bai Mo checked his messages and learned that Mo Fan’s team had completed the Sahara rescue and Egyptian national team battles and was training in Pusini.

Bai Mo visited Swamp Island with Ding Yumian and Lingling and used the souls in the Soul Refining Pot to revive Jingwei. Jingwei flew with them toward Modu, then vanished after sensing a powerful aura in the city.

• Bai Mo heard from Feng Li that he could go to Venice or join Ai Jiangtu and the others in Egypt, but he chose to rest and later told Old Man Bao about Jingwei.
• Bai Mo shared breakfast with Leng Qing, dried Ding Yumian’s hair, and received a kiss from her.
• Bai Mo poured every Remnant Soul and Essence Soul from the Soul Refining Pot onto Swamp Island, where they were absorbed beneath the ground.
• Jingwei emerged from the shattered island, and Bai Mo, Ding Yumian, and Lingling flew on her back across the sea.
• Bai Mo asked Jingwei to take them to Modu and shrink herself; Jingwei sensed a powerful aura, landed, and disappeared like foam.

Bai Mo gave Bei Jiang’s corpse to Feng Zhulong, who discovered that Bei Jiang’s Chaos and Shadow Elements shared one Star System and began investigating Fusion Magic. In Venice, Bai Mo met Asa Riya, who offered information about a Lightning Element Soul Seed in the Tyrant Mountains, then reunited with Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan.

• Bai Mo showed Lingling and Ding Yumian the space inside his Soul Refining Pot, where Jingwei rested, and learned that the Totem had to be alive for Essence Souls to be combined efficiently.
• Ding Yumian declined to go to Venice with Bai Mo because she was preparing to advance her Curse and Fire Elements, and Bai Mo later told her he planned to visit Yao City with Bei Jiang’s corpse.
• Feng Zhulong examined Bei Jiang and found that his Chaos Element and Shadow Element shared one Star System, inspiring him to research Fusion Magic; he extracted Shadow Essence for Bai Mo.
• Bai Mo planned to sell the Shadow Essence at an auction in Venice and spotted Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan while traveling through the city.
• Asa Riya revealed herself after posing as a boatwoman and told Bai Mo that a Lightning Element Soul Seed could be found in the Tyrant Mountains, promising to notify him when it was time to go.
• Bai Mo left the boat and approached Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan, who teased him about Asa Riya.

Bai Mo auctioned off Shadow Material, bought a matching Horn Token, and met Asa Riya to discuss the stolen Sin Stone and the Tyrant Mountains. After arranging to meet her, he asked her to explain the Soul Lightning and the Tyrant Mountains, suspecting the lightning was there.

• Bai Mo asked Zhao Manyan to auction his Shadow Material, and Zhao Yougan arranged for it to be sold at a top-tier auction.
• Bai Mo bought the Horn Token for sixty million after learning it could fuse multiple winds, then sent pictures of it to Lingling.

• Bai Mo invited Asa Riya to a scenic terrace in Venice and asked her about the Soul Lightning and the Tyrant Mountains, guessing the lightning was there.

Bai Mo and Asa Riya reached the Tyrant Mountains to obtain Tyrant Wasteland Thunder, and Bai Mo used a Mountain Titan to draw away the nine Wind Flame Thunder Vultures guarding it. He absorbed the Soul Lightning and tricked it into becoming the Soul Seed of his Lieque Blade, leaving him with a newly refined Tyrant-Lieque Blade.

• Bai Mo traveled with Asa Riya to the Tyrant Mountains after learning the location of Tyrant Wasteland Thunder.
• Bai Mo used the Sin Stone and Sound Element magic to wake a Mountain Titan and lure it toward the Wind Flame Thunder Vultures.

• Bai Mo absorbed Tyrant Wasteland Thunder and used his Soul Artifact Secret Method to draw it into the Lieque Blade.
• Bai Mo finished refining Tyrant Wasteland Thunder into the Tyrant-Lieque Blade.

Bai Mo used the Lieque Blade and his two Domains to drain the Tyrant Mountains’ thunderclouds and instantly kill five Wind Flame Thunder Vultures before traveling with Asa Riya to encounter the Black Dragon Emperor. After they were separated during a teleportation, Bai Mo returned to the team in Venice as the National Team Competition approached.

• Bai Mo unleashed the Lieque Blade with the thundercloud’s power, killed five Wind Flame Thunder Vultures, and revealed to Asa Riya that he could command thunder.
• Asa Riya led Bai Mo to the summit cliff, where the Black Dragon Emperor appeared beneath the Sea of Clouds and a teleportation spell carried them away.

• Bai Mo returned to Venice and learned from Mu Nujiao that Mu Ningxue had faced Pan Xi and the others alone while Mo Fan had been in seclusion.
• Feng Li reprimanded Mu Tingying, beat Mo Fan, and warned Bai Mo not to leave the team again before the National Team Competition.

Bai Mo reunited with Mu Nujiao in Venice, celebrated five years since they met, and spent the night with her. The next morning, he inspected gifts from the Bai Family and began thinking about profiting from the National Team Competition, while Mu Nujiao urged him to let her rest and cultivate.

• Bai Mo took Mu Nujiao on a boat ride through Venice, where they shared a kiss and talked about their recent experiences.

• Mu Nujiao told Bai Mo the Bai Family's gifts were in the living room, where he found a spatial bracelet containing beast-growth items, magic tools, and diamond cards with three hundred million.
• Bai Mo examined the bracelet's Void Illusion Snake scale boots and began plotting ways to make money from the National Team Competition, while Mu Nujiao told him to let her rest.

Bai Mo endured the painful process of condensing a Spirit Mark to strengthen his Space Element, then drew attention with a boastful interview before the National Team Competition began. After the draw paired Nine Provinces against Fusang for the Opening Match, Feng Li selected Bai Mo and four teammates to compete, leaving the team’s major aces on the sidelines.

• Bai Mo used his Mental Power to sever part of his spirit and condense it into a Spirit Mark for his Space Element, suffering intense pain and temporarily limiting his ability to use Space and Sound magic.
• Bai Mo encountered Jiang Shaoxu at a pizza shop, then agreed to an interview with Ji Xiaolan and declared that he wanted the championship, ending with the slogan, “Seize second place. Blessings to you all.”

• At the opening ceremony, Bai Mo drew lots as captain, and Shao Hegu learned that Fusang would face Nine Provinces in the Opening Match.
• Feng Li chose Bai Mo, Guan Yu, Nan Jue, Jiang Shaoxu, and Li Kaifeng to face Fusang, while keeping Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, and Mu Ningxue out of the lineup.

Bai Mo led the Nine Provinces Team to defeat the Fusang Team in just thirty-nine seconds, then celebrated with his teammates at Anruo’s estate in Venice. There, he used the Returning Swallow Mirror to examine a relief that seemed to interest him for reasons he had not explained.

• Bai Mo summoned four Commander-in-Chief Azure Sky Blood Lions and a formation of Purple-Eyed Azure Lions, overwhelming the Fusang Team in a one-sided opening match.

• Bai Mo’s victory and live interview spread across the internet, and Anruo invited him, Mu Nujiao, Jiang Shaoxu, and their companions to the Tani Family estate.
• At the estate, Aileen described a relief called Sheltering the World, while Anruo shared that her great-grandfather had once passed off his own painting as a Picasso.
• Bai Mo claimed his Returning Swallow Mirror could identify the relief’s age and pressed it against the sculpture.

Bai Mo uncovered an old conversation revealing the Holy City's plot against Parthenon, while Qin Yue escaped an attempted abduction in Modu. In Venice, Bai Mo's team faced Spain on a water battlefield after Mo Fan confronted Prince Banbo, leaving Nine Provinces preparing to fight at a terrain disadvantage.

• Bai Mo used the Returning Swallow Mirror to witness Michael and Eberly discussing how to preserve the Holy City's power and undermine Parthenon's Goddess.
• Anruo dismissed the vision's importance, and Bai Mo returned to the National Government Hotel with Aileen and Anruo before spending time with Mu Nujiao.
• Qin Yue was cornered by two people in white after stray dogs tried to protect her, but she escaped by activating a silver bead.

• Bai Mo, Mo Fan, Nanrong Ni, Mu Tingying, and Nan Jue took their positions as Flang mocked Nine Provinces on the water battlefield.

Bai Mo and the Nine Provinces Team defeated Spain after countering Flang’s fire attack and Pinol’s imitation Cataclysmic Water Roar. Their victory secured them a place in the World Academy Tournament’s top sixteen.

• Spain’s team used the water around Dragon Tooth Arena to break the stone footholds, but Bai Mo summoned a school of Jade Dragon Fish, including four powerful Commanders.

• The Nine Provinces Team won the match and secured a place in the top sixteen, while Prince Banbo was reprimanded by Spain’s mentors.

Bai Mo entered the treasure hunt, defeated a Rock Mountain Mammoth long enough to claim an Earth Element Diamond, and used Sound Element detection to track other teams and their treasures. After luring hidden pursuers toward him, he was ambushed by Ming Bu Song, Shao Hegu, and Flang, and began countering them with his Emperor Heart Domain.

• Bai Mo blocked Flang's Hellfire Fist with Great Rectangle Leaning on Heaven, then captured Shao Hegu and Flang and took the resources they had collected.

Bai Mo pretended to absorb a natural Water Soul Seed to lure in a combined American and French team, then fought them with his summoned beasts and gained inspiration for a plant-based beast tide. As the attackers began to falter, another group watched from nearby and planned to ambush whoever survived.

• Bai Mo collected a natural Soul Seed whose Water Element matched the local essence, then staged its absorption beside the river to draw in the team tracking it.
• Redi, Bilton, Jana, and Riel found Bai Mo alone and attacked; Bai Mo blocked Riel’s Shadow Element strike and Jana’s fireball while countering with Earth and Space magic.

• Angelo reported the battle to Mios, Yak, Pinol, and the others; Pinol persuaded them to wait until the fighters were exhausted so they could seize the spoils.
