Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Daozi proposes turning the Heavenly Dao calculation ability into a talent and preparing a calculation archive for Song Shuhang before retiring. The Heavenly Emperor’s Son worries that the “impurity discharge” channel might be connected to her.
• Shuhang tells the research group that he uncovered a hidden mastermind behind the Pitch-Black Sun. Through Dream Entry, he stole its Seizure Secret Technique, and asks the seniors to simplify it—especially its runic complexity and enormous energy requirements.
• The group considers using the technique to strengthen the planned Simultaneous Enlightenment of Two Separate Individuals between Shuhang and A-White. They also devise a way to absorb and repurpose the energy when the mastermind eventually uses the technique, turning its plot into their own resource.
• Shuhang focuses on completing the Chat-Cultivation Immortality Path. His progress is accelerating as he becomes Quasi-Immortal and receives insights from his incarnation and the Immortality seniors. He expects to take the final step after further immortalizing his body and sacrificing his Merit Karmic Longevity Method.
• Several days after the New Year’s feast, most members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group remain passed out drunk in the Core World. The few still awake, including Little Yinzhu, help care for them. Some of the potent wine came from the Dragon Network World.
• Soft Feather wonders whether things will change and hopes Shuhang can transcend time, space, and dimensions. She resolves to wait for him in the future.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang takes charge of advancing his immortality method while delegating technical problems to the group. His growing confidence reflects his rapidly advancing cultivation.
• Daozi plans to leave behind useful research before retiring; the Heavenly Emperor’s Son reacts uneasily to his proposed use of the discharge channel.

• Hope across time: Soft Feather’s closing reflection frames transcendence as both Shuhang’s goal and the promise of a future reunion.

Key plot points

• At a Spacetime Node, future Soft Feather reflects that changing the past has not changed the future. She hopes that reaching Transcendence might allow someone to reshape past, present, and future together. Tipsy and reluctant to leave, she falls asleep beneath a tree.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen checks on the sleeping Soft Feather and confirms that the future version has departed and the ordinary Soft Feather has returned.
• Sixteen tells Fairy Spirit Ghost that her auxiliary personality is about to move into the background so the original Sixteen can resume control. Before that happens, she plans to do something significant for her main self.
• Guided by Core Assistant, Sixteen heads to Song Shuhang’s treasure vault to retrieve an insurance measure left by “Song Blockhead.”
• Along the way, she remembers how her copied personality began with most of Sixteen’s memories but initially experienced them as distant, almost unreal. Her anticipation of meeting Song Shuhang grew from those memories.
• She recalls their first real encounter: in the rain, she mistook a drenched Song Shuhang for a threat and struck him. Seeing him in person made him feel more vivid and real than the figure she had known through memories.

Character developments and interactions

• Future Soft Feather shows melancholy and longing, but finds comfort in the Spacetime Node and in seeing the familiar group. She remains hopeful about the possibility of changing fate through Transcendence.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen is affectionate and candid with Fairy Spirit Ghost, while also showing nervous resolve as she prepares to act for her main self before her personality recedes.
• Fairy Spirit Ghost worries that Sixteen’s condition may be unstable and questions her claims about the original personality’s recovery.
• Sixteen and Fairy Spirit Ghost discuss the allure of future Soft Feather, then jokingly suspect Fairy Cheng Lin’s influence. Meanwhile, Sixteen restrains the drunken Su Clan’s Seven.

Significant themes

• Memory versus reality: remembered experiences can shape a person, but direct contact can transform those memories into a vivid relationship with a real person.
• Time and fate: altering the past alone may not change the future; transcendence is presented as a possible way to overcome temporal limits.
• Identity and continuity: Sixteen’s auxiliary and original personalities raise questions about which self is “real,” and whether memories and emotions preserve identity across a change in control.
• Longing and impermanence: Soft Feather’s wish to remain in a cherished moment contrasts with the characters’ approaching transitions and uncertain futures.

Song Shuhang and his allies tested ways to use Eyed Planet to advance his Quasi-Immortalization, eventually helping him transform all the eyes on his body. The transformation let him glimpse the long river of time through himself, Song Youyou, and Eyed Planet.

• Song Shuhang's Steel Avatar discussed Pavilion Master Chu's rebirth and revealed that Song Shuhang would inherit part of Song Blockhead's karma and resolve one of his obsessions.
• Senior White, Senior White Two's legs, Three-Eyed Senior, Dog Egg's Dad, and Song Shuhang went to Eyed Planet to test the Dao Artifact's role in Song Shuhang's Quasi-Immortalization.
• Song Shuhang used his evil technique and Sage Talent on Eyed Planet, first extracting and returning part of its existence, then entering resonance with it under Three-Eyed Senior's control.
• Song Shuhang and Senior White used a combined attack to help him cultivate and comprehend Quasi-Immortalization, while Eyed Planet watched the experiment.
• Song Shuhang completed the Quasi-Immortalization transformation of all his eyes and glimpsed the long river of time through himself, Song Youyou, and Eyed Planet.

Plot points and events

• Song Shuhang can perceive the River of Time, but at first it looks like a blurry, hedgehog-shaped sphere with himself and Song Youyou as its nodes. His Quasi-Immortal eyes cannot reveal any detail.
• Hoping to improve his vision, he enters “Man-and-Blade Unity” with both the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber and Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, and uses his Blade-Nourishing Art on them. Dog Egg’s Dad suggests continuing the technique.
• The nourishing energy—now infused with traces of Immortality Information—pushes Scarlet Heaven Sword beyond its Immortal Divine Weapon limit. Though uneasy about possibly becoming a “Blade Maiden,” it chooses to evolve.
• At the same time, the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber begins its Ninth Refinement. It releases the Heavenly Dao Spotted Dragon’s stored Immortality power, completing the last part of Song Shuhang’s Quasi-Immortalization.
• With the saber’s power serving as “spectacles,” Song Shuhang can finally see clearly along a branch of the River of Time. He glimpses an ordinary version of himself, who has never cultivated and is fleeing through an underground passage while carrying his gravely injured father. The scene appears to involve a major disaster, though its cause remains unclear.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang shows his usual willingness to rely on tools and allies, while extending his Blade-Nourishing Art to both weapons rather than favoring one.
• Scarlet Heaven Sword moves from apprehension to choosing evolution, motivated by the chance to break through its long-standing limit. It negotiates anxiously over what form it might take; Shuhang makes clear that its wishes matter.
• The Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber actively assists its master, while Scarlet Heaven Sword reluctantly agrees to help it. Their shared transformation also strengthens Shuhang.
• The observers—Senior White, Senior Three-Eyed Youth, Dog Egg’s Dad, and Heavenly Emperor’s Son—react with surprise, jokes, and speculation, including whether the Ball Heavenly Dao might once have been a nurtured Dharma artifact.

Significant themes

• Limits and transformation: Both weapons confront the possibility of advancing beyond established boundaries.
• Interdependence: Shuhang’s breakthrough depends on cooperation with his weapons and the powers they carry.
• Choice and consent: Though Shuhang is curious about Scarlet Heaven Sword’s possible new form, he lets it decide whether to continue.
• The River of Time and alternate lives: The newly visible timeline presents a radically different Shuhang, raising questions about disasters, fate, and how his life might have unfolded without cultivation.

Key plot points and events

• Song Shuhang explores an echinus-shaped River of Time, with Song Youyou acting as a Dao Marker who can pull him safely back to his own point in time.
• He observes alternate versions of himself. In one, an ordinary, untrained Song Shuhang and his father flee through an underground passage during an Evil Delusion attack.
• In another timeline, Song Shuhang is badly injured and confined to a wheelchair at the Heavenly River Su Clan. Su Clan’s Seven brings him to the unconscious Su Clan’s Sixteen, whose Heavenly River Trial remains unfinished.
• Shuhang deduces that Gongzi Hai and his allies may have crippled him before he met Senior White. Without the later events and help that would have followed, Sixteen lacks White Dragon Sister’s assistance and remains trapped in her trial.
• Observing the timelines advances Shuhang’s Cultivation Chat Dao of Longevity: it is already about 96% complete, and his time-based insights add further progress.
• While returning, Shuhang encounters Soft Feather—whom he recognizes as “Weizaizi”—in the River of Time. She says she has just visited the seniors and likely will not return again. After learning that Shuhang has completed Quasi-Immortalization but has not yet attained the Dao, she leaves, urging him toward an unstated goal.
• Shuhang considers following the timeline where Soft Feather vanished. He believes he has enough power for one more journey through the River of Time.

Character developments and interactions

• Shuhang becomes more confident in using the River of Time for insight and cultivation, but remains cautious about whether its alternate histories are real or merely projections.
• He reflects on how small changes—especially missing Senior White and the chain of events that followed—can radically alter the lives of himself and Sixteen.
• Su Clan’s Seven quietly cares for injured Shuhang and places his hand in Sixteen’s, suggesting their bond and concern for her.
• Soft Feather and Shuhang share a brief, surprised reunion. Their conversation reveals her repeated visits across time, her impending departure, and her hope that Shuhang will reach a higher state.

Significant themes

• Alternate histories and causality: Different choices and encounters produce drastically different outcomes.
• Connection and protection: Song Youyou anchors Shuhang in the River of Time, while the seniors’ care shapes events in the alternate timeline.
• Cultivation through experience: Even wandering through time can deepen understanding and accelerate progress.
• Change and separation: Soft Feather’s farewell hints at major transformations and the inevitability of moving beyond familiar relationships.

Song Shuhang used the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber and the Eyed Planet to enter the River of Time where Weizaizi had disappeared. He found a solemn, unfamiliar version of himself studying Ancient Language, and the chapter left him observing that Tyrant Song’s dignified bearing was the one he had always wanted.

• Song Shuhang returned to his time node, then asked Senior White to help him enter the correct River of Time.
• Song Shuhang borrowed the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber and the Eyed Planet’s power and forced his way into the Sea Urchin Spine River of Time.
• Song Shuhang saw his Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal self cultivating before his Fat Whale Golden Core had completed its Immortalization.
• White Dragon Sister arrived to teach Tyrant Song, who chose to continue studying Ancient Language to help perfect the Dao of Longevity.
• Tyrant Song confidently told White Dragon Sister he could master the rest of Ancient Language in one morning, then misnamed the Merit Snake Beauty, who gently massaged his temples after poking him.

Key plot points and events

• White Dragon Sister rapidly teaches Tyrant Song Ancient Language. He learns at extraordinary speed, takes meticulous notes, and soon speaks it fluently, leaving the observing Song Shuhang astonished by this alternate version’s abilities.
• Before leaving, White Dragon Sister tells Tyrant Song not to shoulder everything alone. He insists that he already relies on the seniors and has not suppressed his burdens enough to develop a Heart Demon.
• Tyrant Song reviews his lesson and asks Merit Snake Beauty whether the group was wrong to search for Senior White’s homeland. He admits he may regret their efforts, since Senior White’s presence might have changed later events.
• Watching him, Song Shuhang reflects that transcending Immortal Transcendence could overcome seemingly impossible problems—such as restoring Jadewater Pavilion or dealing with the Pitch-Black Sun. He concludes that relying on others is not a weakness, but a core part of the Cultivation Chat Dao of Longevity.

Character developments

• Tyrant Song appears remarkably mature, composed, and gifted, though White Dragon Sister worries that he reached this maturity at too great a cost. He openly acknowledges his dependence on the seniors and regrets, at least somewhat, the search that may have sent Senior White away.
• Song Shuhang gains a deeper understanding of the alternate Tyrant Song and of his own cultivation path. He recognizes that strength can be shared, and that he can both rely on the seniors and be someone they rely on.
• White Dragon Sister shows concern for Tyrant Song, while also admitting that his maturity is the kind of growth she wanted—just not at such a painful price.
• Merit Snake Beauty remains quietly supportive, massaging Tyrant Song and responding to his question with a film quote.

Significant themes

• Mutual reliance: The chapter presents connection and shared strength—not solitary power—as the foundation of the Cultivation Chat Dao.
• The cost of maturity: Growing up can be positive, but maturity forced by suffering may carry a heavy price.
• Regret and responsibility: Tyrant Song questions whether past choices about Senior White’s homeland were right, while Song Shuhang considers how those choices might have altered events.
• Transcendence as a universal answer: Song Shuhang imagines surpassing all restrictions as a way to address otherwise unsolvable losses and conflicts.

Character interactions

• White Dragon Sister teaches Tyrant Song, then gently challenges him about carrying too much responsibility; he reassures her, though his unreadable expression leaves her uncertain.
• Tyrant Song speaks candidly with Merit Snake Beauty about regret and dependence, while she offers quiet comfort.
• Song Shuhang watches these exchanges from the sidelines, comparing this formidable, mature Tyrant Song with his own past self and drawing lessons from their words.

Song Shuhang completed his understanding of the Chat-Cultivation Immortality Path and learned from Soft Feather’s letter about Senior Seven Cultivations’ recovery, the threat to the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber, and her plans to cultivate. After returning from the River of Time, he carried new resolve into the present, where Pavilion Master Chu noticed his maturity and Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword revealed her new humanoid form.

• Song Shuhang reached roughly 99 percent comprehension of the Chat-Cultivation Immortality Path and planned to complete it with Senior Daozi’s Heavenly Dao Calculation Plug-in.
• Blackhide delivered Soft Feather’s letter, which said Senior Seven Cultivations was recovering and warned that their enemies were targeting the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber before its Ninth Refinement.
• Song Shuhang decided to pursue his life-and-death Longevity Dao, protect Onion Lady and the saber, and send time-cultivation treasures to Soft Feather, Senior White Two, and Senior Heavenly Emperor's Son.
• Soft Feather asked whether the past could be changed, and Song Shuhang connected her efforts across time with his own past and future before returning from the River of Time.
• Song Shuhang awoke in the present after about half a day, and Pavilion Master Chu sensed that he had matured.
• Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword completed her transformation into a humanoid steel-armored figure, prompting Song Shuhang to remark that her character concept clashed with his daughter’s.

Senior White explained that Scarlet Heaven Sword had broken through its limit and gained a cultivation system, while Song Shuhang gathered the artifacts he planned to upgrade. Song Shuhang unlocked clues left by Heavenly Dao Spotted Dragon, and Daozi revealed a plan to step down early and help Song Shuhang confront Boss Pitch-Black Sun.

• Scarlet Heaven Sword revealed that it had broken through its limit and could continue growing stronger, and Senior White explained that it had developed a cultivation system of its own.
• At Senior White's instruction, Song Shuhang committed to upgrading the three sets of Thirty-Three Beasts Composite Dharma Artifacts and the Meteor Sword, while the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber completed its ninth refinement and became a tattoo on his back.
• Song Shuhang combined the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber, the Core World, Cheng Lin's fragments, and Dog Egg's Dad's acknowledgment to authenticate the clues left by Heavenly Dao Spotted Dragon, then asked to keep Cheng Dogdan and the others with him.
• Daozi revealed that the Heavenly Dao Calculation Archive was complete and announced that he intended to leave the Heavenly Dao Seat ahead of schedule.
• Daozi outlined a plan to assemble the Longevity Immortals, have Song Shuhang and Senior White suppress them, and use a seizure technique against Boss Pitch-Black Sun.

Song Shuhang and his allies prepared for Senior Daozi to hand over the Heavenly Dao Authority and devised a possible path to Transcendence using the Heavenly Dao Spotted Dragon’s binding-transfer plan. With the operation set for a few days later, Senior White chose to visit the Ancient Nether Land of the Black Dragon World.

• Senior Daozi agreed to spend his remaining time as Heavenly Dao gathering Longevity Immortals and staging a deception before handing over his authority.
• Dog Egg's Dad said the Counter-Seizure Secret Technique research needed a few more days, while Senior White noted Song Shuhang needed time to finish nurturing his Natal Dharma Artifacts.
• Song Shuhang pieced together how two individuals could attain enlightenment simultaneously, with one guarding the Heavenly Dao while the other transferred its binding and pursued Transcendence.
• Song Shuhang declared that they would succeed, and his allies affirmed their confidence in the miracle of his rapid rise.
• Senior White decided to visit the Ancient Nether Land of the Black Dragon World, and Song Shuhang contacted Lady Dragon Network to request permission.

Plot points and events

• Song Shuhang’s main body secretly watches Su Clan’s Sixteen, while his Steel Avatar avoids her out of embarrassment. With help from the Core Assistant, Shuhang’s hidden “treasure”—a box containing some of his genetic material—is unearthed.
• Sixteen and the many Little Sixteens inside her debate whether to use the material. The White Dragon Scarf urges them to act, while Sixteen hesitates and worries that her main body will return to the foreground before they can decide.
• As the background operation ends, White Dragon uses spatial power to place the box in Sixteen’s hands. Sixteen promptly reburies it and disguises the spot with vegetation, leaving it unclear whether the attempt succeeded. White Dragon had used only half the material, as a precaution.
• Sixteen asks Shuhang to open a passage from the Core World to the Heavenly River Su Clan. She leaves without him, encouraging him to pursue immortality; Shuhang secretly sends his Self Corpse after her for protection.
• Back at the clan lands, Sixteen slips into the ancestral hall while the clan is quiet. She summons the Shielding Fairy, the clan’s great ancestor, and says she has come to claim the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s relic, following the trial’s hidden hint.

Character developments and interactions

• Sixteen struggles between caution and desire, consulting her many internal selves before acting. Once her main body takes over, she appears dazed and instinctively hides the box, then shifts her focus to the ancestral trial.
• The Little Sixteens reveal contrasting temperaments: Violent Sixteen pushes for action, Timid Sixteen favors waiting, and others argue over the uncertain outcome.
• White Dragon acts decisively when Sixteen cannot, using spatial power to carry out the plan while acknowledging that success is uncertain.
• Shuhang is supportive and gives Sixteen space to act independently, but his covert escort shows he remains protective.
• Sixteen and the Shielding Fairy meet to advance the trial’s mystery and seek the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s relic.

Significant themes

• Hesitation versus seizing an opportunity: Sixteen’s internal debate highlights how fear of regret can stall decisive action.
• Intimacy, trust, and uncertainty: The box episode is played for comedy but also reflects the characters’ awkwardness and the uncertain consequences of their choice.
• Many selves and personal complexity: Sixteen’s internal personalities offer competing perspectives, while her main body’s return can override their plans.
• Hidden knowledge and inheritance: The trial’s secret hint leads Sixteen toward an ancestral relic tied to the largely unseen Fifth Heavenly Dao.

Key plot points and events

• Su Clan’s Sixteen reunites with Su Clan’s Shielding Fairy, who asks why she kept the distinct personalities of her many “Little Sixteens” instead of merging them. Sixteen says they all feel like parts of herself and that she finds their differences interesting.
• The Shielding Fairy offers to take Sixteen to the Su Clan Ancestral Star to see relics of the Fifth Heavenly Dao. Sixteen wonders if this means the Heavenly River Su Clan is alien.
• The ancestor opens a rainbow-bridge portal between realms. Its dramatic appearance alarms the clan, but Knot Patriarch explains that it is part of Sixteen’s opportunity.
• Clan members gossip that Tyrant Song may be involved, and even speculate that Sixteen might be pregnant. Sixteen overhears and turns red.
• The Shielding Fairy invites White Dragon Sister, Sixteen’s symbiotic partner, to come along.
• Self Corpse Tyrant Song has been nearby in his “little transparent” state. The ancestor pretends to notice him, and he answers, exposing himself. She then invites him to join the trip.

Character developments and interactions

• Sixteen affirms that she wants to preserve her many personalities rather than erase them, valuing individuality and emotional connection. Her alien-origin theory shows her playful, rapid-fire imagination.
• The Shielding Fairy is gentle and protective, but also teasing: she tests whether Tyrant Song will follow and catches him through his own response.
• White Dragon Sister remains close to Sixteen as her symbiotic companion and is included in the journey.
• Tyrant Song’s Self Corpse is touched that the ancestor seems to notice him, only to realize she bluffed. He joins the trip anyway and repeats Sixteen’s “are we aliens?” speculation.

Significant themes

• Identity and individuality: Sixteen’s choice to retain every personality reflects the importance of emotion and personal difference.
• Family and belonging: The ancestral journey connects Sixteen to her clan’s history and the Fifth Heavenly Dao.
• Humor and contagion: The chapter jokes that Song Shuhang’s eccentric leaps in logic spread like a hereditary “virus,” influencing both Sixteen and the Self Corpse.

Key plot points and events

• Su Clan’s Shielding Fairy takes Tyrant Song’s Self Corpse to the Su Clan Ancestral Star via the Rainbow Bridge. His stealth is so strong that she initially fails to notice he is already standing on it.
• Members of the Su Clan notice the bridge lingered after Su Clan’s Sixteen departed and correctly infer that Tyrant Song was being transported too. They jokingly warn one another to stay wary of anyone surnamed Song around Sixteen.
• During the journey, the Shielding Fairy explains how the Rainbow Bridge works. Tyrant’s Self Corpse cannot follow the technical explanation, so he memorizes it to pass to the main body for later analysis.
• The Fairy says Sixteen has gone with another of her incarnations to contact the “Fifth Heavenly Dao Relic.” She warns Tyrant to stay close because the area ahead contains spatial restraints.
• The pair enter a hidden region within the Netherworld. The Su Clan Ancestral Star lies in a small world connected to the Netherworld, and the Su Clan’s Heavenly River Secret Realm on Earth links to it as well.
• The Ancestral Star serves as a Reincarnation Ground for Su Clan members. Its foundation is the Fifth Heavenly Dao Relic: the Samsara Blade, which embodies reincarnation and can perceive time and different versions of itself.

Character developments and interactions

• Tyrant’s Self Corpse shows curiosity about the Rainbow Bridge and the Ancestral Star, while his stealth impresses—and briefly embarrasses—the Shielding Fairy.
• The Shielding Fairy is eager to teach the bridge’s principles, but her lecture overwhelms even Tyrant’s highly capable Self Corpse.
• The Su Clan elders’ playful suspicions about Tyrant Song contrast with the clan patriarch’s private frustration that their assumptions are mistaken.
• Sixteen is absent from the journey, having gone ahead to contact the relic.

Significant themes

• Identity and belonging: The Fairy challenges the distinction between “aliens” and “Earthlings,” suggesting that ancestry and origins shift across eras and Heavenly Dao cycles.
• Reincarnation and time: The Ancestral Star’s role as a Reincarnation Ground and the Samsara Blade’s powers place cyclical existence and alternate possibilities at the chapter’s center.
• Knowledge and secrecy: Tyrant’s curiosity reveals hidden Su Clan lore, while the clan’s gossip shows how easily appearances and assumptions can distort the truth.

Chapter Summary: “Ancestor, I’m a Rare Mutant”

Key plot points and events

• Su Clan’s Shielding Fairy mentions that the Samsara Blade is a “great beauty,” expecting Tyrant Song’s avatar to react. However, Self Corpse remains indifferent because Tyrant Song has already encountered countless powerful beauties.
• The Fairy realizes Self Corpse has stopped responding and discovers that he is standing behind her. She uses a concealed crystalline thread to keep track of and guide him.
• When asked about the Samsara Blade’s beauty, Self Corpse misunderstands the topic and assumes she may be a Blade Maiden created through the Blade-Nourishing Art.
• Self Corpse explains that Tyrant Song once transformed Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword into a Sword Maiden. He uses the Shadow-Imprint Spell to show the Fairy a recording of the transformation, astonishing her.
• He further claims that the Heavenly River Su Clan’s Giant Patriarch created the Blade-Nourishing Art and had himself raised a saber into a customizable Blade Maiden. The Fairy is deeply shocked because this contradicts everything she knows about cultivation.
• The Fairy brings Self Corpse to the Su Clan Ancestral Star to clarify the matter. There, they meet Ancestor Knot, who arrived through the Internal Rainbow Bridge because he was concerned about Su Clan’s Sixteen.
• The Fairy asks Ancestor Knot to transform into the “Heavenly Blade.” Ancestor Knot reveals that, due to his rare mutant talent, he cannot transform into the Heavenly Blade—only the Heavenly Sword.

Character developments

• Self Corpse demonstrates his unusual reasoning and apparent memory gaps, likely caused by the Forgetting Divine Technique used when he was separated from Tyrant Song. His interpretation of the Fairy’s comments is comically literal and quickly shifts toward sword- and saber-related theories.
• He also reveals more information about Tyrant Song’s extraordinary abilities, including the successful creation of a Sword Maiden from Scarlet Heaven Sword.
• Su Clan’s Shielding Fairy becomes increasingly bewildered by the absurdity of Self Corpse’s claims. Her understanding of the Blade-Nourishing Art is challenged by evidence that it can produce intelligent humanoid weapon forms.
• Ancestor Knot is shown to possess a rare mutant transformation ability. Unlike the expected Heavenly Blade form, his mutation causes him to become a Heavenly Sword.

Significant themes

• Cultivation defying conventional rules: The creation of Sword and Blade Maidens appears to violate established cultivation knowledge and “common sense.”
• Misunderstanding and comic communication: Self Corpse repeatedly interprets conversations in unexpected ways, creating humor and confusion.
• The unpredictability of talent and mutation: Ancestor Knot’s rare mutation illustrates that even powerful inherited or transformation abilities may produce unexpected results.
• Tradition versus new possibilities: The Su Clan’s ancient knowledge is shown to be incomplete when confronted with Tyrant Song’s abnormal techniques and experiences.

Character interactions

• The Fairy tries to discuss the Samsara Blade’s beauty, but Self Corpse redirects the conversation toward Blade Maidens.
• Self Corpse proves his claims by showing the Fairy Scarlet Heaven Sword’s transformation, leaving her speechless.
• Their discussion connects the technique to the Su Clan’s Giant Patriarch, causing the Fairy to reconsider her understanding of her own clan’s history.
• At the Ancestral Star, the Fairy turns to Ancestor Knot for confirmation or assistance, only to learn that his “mutant” talent produces a Heavenly Sword rather than a Heavenly Blade.

Plot points and events

• Self Corpse realizes the Blade Maiden Giant Patriarch’s saber had never transformed into a human: it was his Dao companion, a Digital Fairy of the Heavenly River Su Clan. The chilling Saber Intent belonged to her, and the Blade-Nourishing Art had not been taught as a transformation technique.
• Curious about Self Corpse’s unusual version of the art, Su Clan’s Shielding Fairy offers a magical artifact for him to test it on. Ancestor Knot declines to volunteer, wary of receiving Tyrant Song’s peculiar demonstrations of “affection.”
• The Shielding Fairy produces an ordinary-looking scabbard. Self Corpse cautiously appraises it and learns it was formerly the home of the Dao Artifact Samsara Blade, was replaced because its style was uncomfortable, and was made using the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s artifact-refining technique.
• Self Corpse applies his highly amplified Blade-Nourishing Art, using a thousand hair-grown hands to make a million applications per second. After three seconds, the scabbard gives off a temporary seven-colored divine treasure radiance.
• Elsewhere, the Pitch-Black Sun overlord suddenly finds Tyrant Song seeming strangely warm instead of repulsive. It can detect no physical change and wonders whether its mind has been altered.

Character developments and interactions

• Self Corpse is confident in his mutated Blade-Nourishing Art, but wary enough to appraise the scabbard before using it. His experiment suggests the technique can affect artifacts far beyond ordinary blades.
• Su Clan’s Shielding Fairy clarifies the saber’s true identity and watches Self Corpse’s demonstration with astonishment, as it radically exceeds her expectations for the art.
• Ancestor Knot is unwilling to be used as a test subject, though he confirms the scabbard is not a transformed Su Clan member.
• The Pitch-Black Sun overlord’s unexplained shift in feelings toward Tyrant Song leaves it suspicious and unsettled.

Significant themes

• Misunderstanding and revelation: The truth about the saber overturns Self Corpse’s assumptions about the Blade-Nourishing Art.
• Excess and comedy: Tyrant Song’s version of “affection” is portrayed as absurdly forceful and mechanically overpowered.
• Intimacy and influence: The appraisal hints that closeness may reveal more about an object, while the ending raises the possibility that Tyrant Song’s influence can alter even an enemy’s feelings.

Plot points and events

• The Pitch-Black Sun notices that his body and feelings toward Tyrant Song have changed. He blames Tyrant Song and Immortal White, but his attempt to divine the cause is blocked by the current Heavenly Dao.
• A woman’s repeated message—“Are you afraid? … I still have seven scabbards like this!”—reaches him. He suspects a trap and tries to develop a spell that will keep him hostile toward Tyrant Song.
• Meanwhile, Song Shuhang’s Self Corpse demonstrates his Blade-Nourishing Art on a scabbard belonging to Su Clan’s Shielding Fairy. The Samsara Blade’s spirit, apparently awakened, asks her to give him the other seven scabbards.
• The Self Corpse applies the art to all seven at once with extraordinary intensity, affecting even the nearby onlookers’ feelings toward Tyrant Song. He eventually stops after sensing that continuing would be unwise.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen arrives at the palace housing the Dao Artifact? Samsara Blade and prepares to enter alone.

Character developments and interactions

• The Pitch-Black Sun becomes more cautious and rational after losing a “burden” from his body. Though he tries to enforce hostility toward Tyrant Song, the favorability effect continues, creating a growing imbalance within him. When the effects suddenly stop, he feels relieved rather than investigating further.
• The Self Corpse shows off the scale of Tyrant Song’s Blade-Nourishing Art, confidently insisting that even many more scabbards would be no challenge. His intuition—possibly guided by Senior White’s influence—ultimately makes him stop.
• The Shielding Fairy trusts the Self Corpse’s technique and gives him the scabbards to help Sixteen. Ancestor Knot, alarmed by the art’s strength and influence, resolves to be more cautious around Tyrant Song.
• The awakened Samsara Blade indirectly guides the Shielding Fairy, while Sixteen’s meeting with it is set up as the next major step.

Significant themes

• Power with unintended effects: The Blade-Nourishing Art affects not only artifacts but also people’s impressions and possibly the Samsara Blade itself.
• Cause and effect, fate, and restraint: Divination is blocked, and the Self Corpse relies on intuition about fortunate causality to know when to stop.
• Self-deception and internal conflict: The Pitch-Black Sun insists on a rational explanation for his changing feelings, even as his own subconscious resists his chosen course.
• Comic escalation: The repeated, echoing warning and the exaggerated scale of the Blade-Nourishing Art turn a serious supernatural conflict into absurd comedy.

Key events

• Su Clan’s Sixteen enters Samsara Blade Palace, where a cramped, fog-filled passage resembles the inside of a giant scabbard. White Dragon Sister confirms it is just an unusually narrow corridor.
• Sixteen tries the orthodox Blade-Nourishing Art on its walls. Samsara Blade Fairy, waiting at the far end, recognizes the Su Clan technique and tells Sixteen to skip its slow, careful finishing process and repeat the radiance instead.
• Samsara Blade reveals that another Su Clan disciple’s exceptionally effective Blade-Nourishing Art awakened her after ten thousand years of sleep. Sixteen realizes this was Song Shuhang, whose aura remains in the Tyrant Song Glazed Heart he gave her.
• Once Sixteen explains that Shuhang’s surname is Song, Samsara Blade jokes that Su Clan fairies seem destined to choose Song men. She nevertheless agrees to meet him, and Sixteen is pleased that her hoped-for introduction happened naturally.
• Samsara Blade examines Sixteen’s heart, senses an aura resembling the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s, and says it will suit the next stage. She prepares to forge Sixteen a scabbard—not from outside materials, but by transforming her own red hair.

Character developments and interactions

• Sixteen moves from nervous anticipation to confidence and excitement. She uses her Blade-Nourishing Art to establish a connection with Samsara Blade, then learns Song Shuhang has already made a strong impression on the ancient fairy.
• Samsara Blade is revealed as a former human and a Dao Artifact whose inherited talent, Blade Incarnation, also underlies the Heaven River Su Clan’s gift. Though protective and wry about the clan’s romantic choices, she respects Sixteen’s feelings and offers to help her.
• White Dragon Sister stays at Sixteen’s side, comments skeptically on the odd corridor and Shuhang’s influence, and offers materials before Samsara Blade explains they are unnecessary.
• Sixteen and Samsara Blade bond through the Su Clan’s Blade-Nourishing Art and Shuhang’s connection to Sixteen’s heart. Their exchange shifts from ritual and technique to teasing about romance, then to trust as Samsara Blade prepares Sixteen for transformation.

Significant themes

• Connection through care: Blade-Nourishing Art is presented as more than a spell; its proper practice builds a bond between practitioner and artifact.
• Legacy and inheritance: Samsara Blade’s techniques and talents persist through the Su Clan, linking Sixteen to the fairy’s past.
• Love and fate: The Song surname joke frames the Su Clan’s repeated romances as a pattern, while Samsara Blade ultimately refuses to impose rules on genuine affection.
• Transformation: The chapter ends with Samsara Blade turning her own hair into Sixteen’s scabbard, signaling a major transition ahead.

• Samsara Blade Fairy removes her entire head of hair, revealing that she is bald. She explains it will grow back within about a hundred years, though Su Clan’s Sixteen suggests Song Shuhang’s hair-growth technique could do it instantly.
• As Song Shuhang’s secret techniques and blade-nourishing skills catch Samsara Blade Fairy’s interest, his red hair is shaped into a blade sheath. Samsara Blade Fairy also pours curse-like energy into it, strengthening the sheath.
• White Dragon Sister recognizes the energy as a powerful Possession curse and asks whether the Fourth Heavenly Dao created it.
• Samsara Blade Fairy confirms that the Fourth Heavenly Dao secretly cursed the Fifth Heavenly Dao around the time of her Proof of Immortality. The Fifth Heavenly Dao later traced the curse’s origin and devised a countermeasure.
• The Fifth Heavenly Dao turned a modified revival formation into a blank-consciousness avatar: Samsara Blade Fairy. She transferred the expelled curse into this avatar and forged it into a Dao Artifact designed to oppose the Fourth Heavenly Dao.
• The curse itself was used up in forging the Samsara Blade. The curse-like power now being infused into the sheath is newly produced, controlled energy—not the original curse—and can be drawn upon by Samsara Blade Fairy and the Su Clan.

Character developments and interactions

• Samsara Blade Fairy treats her baldness casually and reveals her origins and purpose: she is both a weapon against the Fourth Heavenly Dao and part of the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s long-term revenge plan. Her interest in Song Shuhang grows when she hears he may be able to restore her hair quickly.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen and her internal personalities react with concern and admiration, especially over Samsara Blade Fairy’s appearance and hair loss. Sixteen offers the suggestion about Song Shuhang’s technique.
• White Dragon Sister questions the safety and origin of the curse energy, connecting it to the recent “Pitch-Black Sun” mystery and the suspected Fourth Heavenly Dao.
• Samsara Blade Fairy communicates directly with the many personalities inside Sixteen, explaining the history behind her creation and the curse.

Significant themes

• Cycles of revenge and hidden schemes: The Fifth Heavenly Dao secretly prepared numerous contingencies against the Fourth, even after leaving power.
• Transformation of danger into strength: A Heavenly Dao-level curse is repurposed into a Dao Artifact and later into controlled energy.
• Power passed through lineage: The Su Clan’s descendants can use this energy through their inherited bloodline abilities.
• Comic contrast: Samsara Blade Fairy’s dramatic baldness and the “curse harvested like chives” joke lighten an otherwise intricate account of cosmic conflict.

Key plot points and events

• After the scabbard is refined, Su Clan’s A Sixteen takes it and feels a bloodline connection. Its curse power awakens a hidden talent in her and begins transforming the many Little Sixteen personalities in her mind.
• Samsara Blade Fairy surrounds A Sixteen with the Law of Samsara as the transformation begins. A Sixteen’s auxiliary personalities protect her, while the Little Sixteens connect to them in a strange, hedgehog-like formation.
• While A Sixteen evolves, White Dragon Sister and Samsara Blade Fairy decide to meet Song Shuhang. Since he is not yet a Heavenly River Su Clan disciple, Samsara Blade Fairy plans to bring him directly into the hall.
• Outside, Song Shuhang’s Self Corpse tries to enter the narrow passage using the Blade-Nourishing Art. Samsara Blade Fairy teleports him into the hall before he can finish—sending the attack into her instead.
• Self Corpse introduces himself and explains that he is not Song Shuhang’s main body. Samsara Blade Fairy agrees to wait for the main body, then asks whether they might have met ten thousand years ago. Self Corpse replies that Song Shuhang had not yet been born.

• Time and identity: Samsara Blade Fairy’s question hints at links across eras, while Self Corpse distinguishes himself from Song Shuhang’s main body.
• Comedy amid the mystical: A serious ritual is undercut by White Dragon Sister’s thoughts about food and Self Corpse’s accidentally striking his host with the Blade-Nourishing Art.

Character interactions

• White Dragon Sister and Samsara Blade Fairy discuss the curse, A Sixteen’s transformation, and bringing Song Shuhang to the hall.
• A Sixteen’s auxiliary personalities and Little Sixteen selves gather around her in a protective, interconnected formation.
• Self Corpse’s attempt to enter the hall goes awry when Samsara Blade Fairy teleports him into her presence mid-technique.

• The Fairy compliments the Self Corpse’s apparent achievement of Longevity, though White Dragon Sister silently recognizes the truth behind his humble presentation.

Significant themes

• Caution and concealed identity: The Self Corpse avoids speaking too plainly because knowledge of time travel could create risks.
• Forgetting and attention: The Forgetting Divine Technique causes people to overlook the Self Corpse, turning even ordinary conversation into a comedic problem.
• Power and misinterpretation: Song Shuhang’s aura is so immense that the Fairy interprets his interest in her as possibly strategic—or even as a desire to “covet” her body.
• Time and cultivation: The Fairy’s recognition of a technique from a later era hints at the story’s tangled relationship between cultivation, history, and time.
