Chapter Summaries

Song Shuhang tried to find a Daoist title while Senior White and Northern River's Loose Cultivator explained different naming styles. He rejected several suggestions and was left considering titles based on his specialty.

• Senior White explained that most cultivators’ titles were two-character Daoist names with honorifics, and suggested Song Shuhang use “Overlord Blade Song Three.”

• Eastern Fairy and Northern River's Loose Cultivator joined the discussion after hearing Song Shuhang was choosing a Daoist title.
• Northern River's Loose Cultivator described place-name titles, prompting Song Shuhang to imagine calling himself the True Person of White Whale Road, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Republic of China.
• Song Shuhang rejected the long title as an express delivery address, and Northern River's Loose Cultivator began explaining titles based on a cultivator’s specialty.

Song Shuhang struggled to choose a Daoist name, so the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group suggested a long list of possibilities. He chose seven names, declaring that he would use one for each day of the week.

• Song Shuhang considered basing his Daoist name on his talents or cultivation, but rejected the options.
• Mad Saber Three Waves explained that his name’s number three reminded him not to court death three times over the same thing, then learned Su Clan's Seven had overheard him impersonating Seven as a Big Macaque.
• Northern River's Loose Cultivator introduced abstract Daoist names, and Song Shuhang asked the seniors to help him choose one.
• Venerable White, Mad Saber Three Waves, Eastern Fairy, Dharma King Creation, True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey, Soft Feather, and other seniors proposed names for Song Shuhang.
• Song Shuhang selected seven names from the suggestions and announced that he would use them because a week had seven days.

Song Shuhang chose seven Daoist names to rotate through, then went with Venerable White to prepare for the cultivators’ Trade Conference. He was left stranded in his hand tractor’s trailer near the ocean, while Gao Moumou worried on Indigenous Island about surviving there for another month and missing his updates.

• Song Shuhang settled on seven Daoist names to use in a weekly rotation, keeping Overlord Blade Song One out of respect for Venerable White.

• Song Shuhang realized he was alone in the hand tractor’s trailer, surrounded by ocean and far from Indigenous Island.
• Gao Moumou lay awake on Indigenous Island, lamenting that he and Mei Yi had to survive there for a month and that he might miss his scheduled updates.

Stranded on the island, Gao Moumou worried about his missing friend Song Shuhang and the disruptions to his life. He discovered that Joseph was secretly training the island’s natives in The Times Are Calling, which they believed would help them overthrow the island’s owner.

• Gao Moumou reflected on the plane crash, his interrupted novel updates, and his concern that Song Shuhang had been missing for a week.

• One native asked when they could become strong enough to resist the island’s owner, and Joseph urged them to practice patiently.

The natives practiced The Times Are Calling in hopes of overthrowing the black-trench-coated island master, while Gao Moumou doubted they could succeed. Song Shuhang delivered Whirlwind Venerable’s Silver Glove to Young Master Phoenix Slayer, who eventually accepted it, then tricked Song into taking another Silver Glove as thanks for caring for Doudou.

• The natives practiced The Times Are Calling harder as they dreamed of beating and punishing the island master.
• Gao Moumou imagined the natives’ failed rebellion, wished them luck, and returned to his hut to sleep.

• Song Shuhang and Young Master Phoenix Slayer repeatedly tossed the Silver Glove back and forth until Phoenix Slayer agreed to keep it.
• Young Master Phoenix Slayer thanked Song Shuhang for caring for Doudou and slipped another Silver Glove into Song’s palm as a gift.

Song Shuhang accepted Young Master Phoenix Slayer’s Silver Glove and learned that a Black Horse Spirit had been spying on him. On Indigenous Island, he confirmed his friends were safe, discovered Joseph teaching the natives exercises, and then joined the seniors’ attention on Fairy Lychee’s group video, which showed Copper Trigram Immortal Master approaching Medicine Master’s cave abode.

• Fairy Lychee started a group video showing herself, a hidden baby-faced cultivator, and Copper Trigram Immortal Master arriving at Medicine Master’s cave abode.

Fairy Lychee ambushed Copper Trigram Immortal Master and beat him up while Deng Yima watched, then Copper Trigram revealed he had pretended to be more injured than he was after realizing why she attacked him. The group replayed the fight’s cries and screams in their minds, while Song Shuhang and Young Master Phoenix Slayer followed Seven Lives Talisman toward his treasure vault on Indigenous Island.

• Fairy Lychee lured Copper Trigram Immortal Master close, then attacked him with a series of martial arts moves and an antitank rocket launcher.
• Fairy Lychee asked Deng Yima to carry Copper Trigram Immortal Master to a bed at Medicine Master's, and Deng Yima took pity on him.

• Song Shuhang grabbed the Little Bamboo Shoot and saw an illusion of a giant bamboo staff strike him before he was jolted back, confused.

Sima Jiang discovered he had been brought to a Pacific island, where Song Shuhang found him while tracking his spirit ghost inside a strange courier box.

Song Shuhang dreamed through the memories of a Thousand Hands Sect disciple who explored the Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations and was mutilated by its traps. The dream revealed that the disciple became She Lan, the underground cavern’s “Mister,” and ended with She Lan awakening as a hidden stone door concealed an ancient wooden puppet.

• Song Shuhang recognized the tombstone’s name, Venerable Six Cultivations, and speculated that the Venerable might be connected to Venerable Seven Cultivations.
• The Thousand Hands Sect disciple entered the tomb with six companions and helped them pass its traps and seals.
• A trap unleashed more than a hundred strands of Sword Qi, severing the disciple’s limbs and causing him to lose consciousness.
• The Human-Skin Puppet fitted the unconscious disciple with prosthetic limbs in the blood pool and hypnotized him into sleeping again.
• She Lan awoke in the cavern’s deepest area as a stone door concealed an exquisitely crafted wooden puppet, and his consciousness returned.

Song Shuhang relived lost memories of the Mysterious Island, including his encounter with a White Dragon, before the dragon mistook him for a bald thief and struck him. The dream ended with Shuhang wondering who the dragon and a previous attacker had mistaken him for.

• Song Shuhang dreamed of a hidden layer in the underground Magma Cavern and an exquisite humanoid puppet connected to She Lan’s transformation.
• Song Shuhang woke in a dream where his hair had grown back and Jiudeng found a secret chamber containing ten coffins.

• A White Dragon struck Song Shuhang after mistaking him for a bald thief, then realized it had hit the wrong person.
• Song Shuhang wondered who the White Dragon and the bamboo stick had mistaken him for and wished for a hair-regrowth spell.

Song Shuhang woke to find Dharma King Creation watching over him and asked to learn his Hair-Growth Technique. After Creation’s devastating song left Shuhang and the surrounding cultivators dazed, he learned the technique, grew shoulder-length hair, and turned his attention to preparing for a month-long journey through space.

• Song Shuhang woke up and learned that he had repeatedly called Dharma King Creation’s name in his sleep.
• Song Shuhang asked Dharma King Creation to teach him a technique to regrow his hair, and Creation offered to teach it in exchange for an audience for his new song.

• Dharma King Creation taught Song Shuhang the Hair-Growth Technique, which gave him glossy, shoulder-length hair.
• Dharma King Creation left after reminding Song Shuhang about the Cultivator Trade Conference, and Song Shuhang began thinking about supplies for his month-long space journey.

Song Shuhang reunited with Gao Moumou, Tubo, and the other teachers after Dharma King Creation’s song left him with severely delayed reactions. At breakfast, he sensed beast-like spiritual power in a pearl Le’er had found after the plane crash, accepted it from her, and prepared to pay for it.

• Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman brought the dazed Song Shuhang to the dining hall and explained that the Soul Song King’s close-range song would take half a day to wear off.

• Song Shuhang told Tubo that a friend had rescued him after the plane crash and that he had returned to China before coming to the island.
• Song Shuhang noticed spiritual power and a beast aura in the pearl around Le’er’s neck, and Le’er gave it to him because she felt she owed him a favor.
• Song Shuhang insisted the pearl was valuable and began pulling banknotes from his Inch-Shrinking Bag to pay Le’er.

Song Shuhang traded with Le'er for a mysterious pearl, then Soft Feather took him to meet Venerable White and accidentally exposed the Nine Provinces Number One Group to Dharma King Creation’s singing. After learning about Venerable Six Cultivations’ tomb in outer space, Song Shuhang was invited to join the group’s next ancient-tomb expedition.

• Song Shuhang paid Le'er a hundred thousand for her pearl, and she told him not to bring up any further payment.
• Soft Feather dragged Song Shuhang away from his meal and returned his phone, which Venerable White had modified to work across Earth.
• Song Shuhang played Soft Feather’s recording of Dharma King Creation singing, and Venerable Seven Cultivations muted Soft Feather and Fairy Flowing Firefly after the song disturbed the group.
• Song Shuhang asked Venerable Seven Cultivations about Venerable Six Cultivations and learned that the latter’s tomb was on a meteorite in outer space.
• Venerable Seven Cultivations proposed another Nine Provinces Number One Group tomb expedition and asked Song Shuhang if he wanted to join.

Song Shuhang attended a cultivators’ trade fair with Soft Feather and Venerable White, where White spent all of Shuhang’s Spirit Stones on Spirit-Origin Pearls. Shuhang also hoped to buy Spirit Rice for his family, but the fair’s minimum order was too large, so he planned to seek a smaller purchase from Rogue Cultivators.

• Venerable Seven Cultivations invited Song Shuhang to explore an ancient cultivator’s tomb after Shuhang’s trip to space and told him to prepare equipment.
• Soft Feather brought Song Shuhang to a sea-based trade fair held on a giant floorboard from the Boundary-Crossing Sect’s unfinished immortal palace.
• Soft Feather introduced Song Shuhang to Spirit-Origin Pearls, and he tried one before Venerable White arrived.
• Venerable White exchanged all of Song Shuhang’s Spirit Stones for 402 Second-Level Spirit-Origin Pearls, which he said would add about one percent of true qi to Shuhang’s Second Dantian.
• Song Shuhang asked about buying Spirit Rice for his family, but the seller required an order of at least 100,000 sacks, so Shuhang decided to look for a smaller quantity from Rogue Cultivators.

Song Shuhang bought a thousand bags of Spirit Rice with Venerable White’s help, then followed him and Soft Feather to another stall. There, Shuhang found a Spirit Beast Crystal, and Venerable White offered to buy it for him on credit.

• Song Shuhang settled on buying a thousand bags of Spirit Rice, and Venerable White lent him a Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone for the purchase.

• Venerable White led Song Shuhang and Soft Feather to another stall, but its intended stallholder had fled and left it empty.

• Venerable White offered to buy the Spirit Beast Crystal for four Fourth-Grade Spirit Stones and told Song Shuhang he would owe him two.

Song Shuhang discovered that Spirit Beast Crystals corresponding to beasts in the Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique resonated with him, while unrelated crystals did not. Venerable White suspected the crystals could help Song Shuhang condense Innate True Qi, and the chapter ended with Venerable White reconsidering his plan to send Song Shuhang into space for a month.

• Song Shuhang bought a Tiger Crystal and learned that his turtle-type crystal also resonated with him, leading him to suspect a connection to the Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique.
• Song Shuhang, Venerable White, and Soft Feather searched the trading market and found crystals for seven more beasts, while butterfly- and bee-type crystals did not resonate with Song Shuhang.
• Venerable White reasoned that the crystals might serve as True Qi Seeds and help Song Shuhang merge the beast techniques into Pseudo-Innate True Qi.
• Venerable White told Song Shuhang to collect as many Spirit Beast Crystals as possible and promised to study the complete technique after exploring the Primordial Ruins.
• Song Shuhang tried to delay Venerable White's plan to send him into space, but Venerable White decided the plan would need to change when he could not personally launch him after the trade fair.

Venerable White left to explore the Ancient Ruins with the Hand Tractor Race finalists and True Lord White Crane, while Song Shuhang stayed behind with Yu Jiaojiao and the little monk. Song Shuhang's companions and the teachers departed by cruise ship, which the Black Horse Spirit and Sea Urchin Warriors began pursuing.

• Venerable White gave Song Shuhang a sealed Myriad-Mile Escape Technique talisman that would return him from space after a month, and said Fairy Flowing Firefly would take him there.
• Venerable White and six cultivators departed for the Ancient Ruins, while True Lord White Crane hoped to grow closer to Venerable White.
• Song Shuhang returned to Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman's island with Yu Jiaojiao and the little monk, and planned to go back to the Chu Aristocratic Clan with Jiang.
• Manor Lord Seven Lives Talisman sent the teachers, including Gao Moumou and Master Joseph, back to China aboard a luxury cruise ship; Joseph reluctantly left his island disciples.
• The Black Horse Spirit followed the cruise ship in a dark cloud, while ten Sea Urchin Warriors pursued it beneath the sea to avenge their blood.

Song Shuhang asked the Nine Provinces Number One Group about the mysterious cultivator who guided his Dragon Tail Dantian breakthrough and where to find Spirit Beast Crystals, then searched for tasks to earn Spirit Stones. Meanwhile, Venerable Spirit Butterfly joined the expedition to the Ancient Ruins to accompany Soft Feather, who asked him for 365 Daoist names.

• Song Shuhang changed his group name to Vajra Gentleman Saber and learned that none of the Nine Provinces Number One Group members had guided his breakthrough during the Ten Thousand Talismans Formation.
• Song Shuhang asked where to find Spirit Beast Crystals, and Sunbreaker Halberd Guo Da suggested True Lord Yellow Mountain and Snow Wolf Cave Master.
• Song Shuhang searched the group's shared files for tasks that could help him earn Spirit Stones to repay Venerable White.
