Ch. 1401Who Is This Fellow Daoist with a Blank Nickname? Kick Him Out!

Key plot points and events

  • The approaching power tide and imminent change in the Heavenly Dao are stirring cultivators into action. Treasure sites and secret realms may open, while newly opened passages could bring beings from other worlds to Earth.
  • Tiantian Island Lord complains that increased activity has brought reckless intruders to their island. The group trades joking suggestions for warning signs, including one threatening visitors with a ten-ton truck.
  • The Confucian School has moved into the golden lotus world to avoid recent calamities. Eternal Fire offers the group discounted defensive formations, while assuring them the school hopes to return and expand once the coming crisis passes.
  • The group learns that cultivators from other systems may attend the Immortal Chef Banquet, where exchanges—and likely sparring—could occur.
  • Su Clan’s Seven admits he feels something is missing and cannot remember a junior he cares about. The group realizes he has forgotten Song Shuhang because Shuhang is in a state that makes him easy to overlook.
  • Shuhang, whose group nickname and profile appear blank, is nearly kicked out before identifying himself as Tyrant Song. The group then clarifies that the junior Su Clan’s Seven forgot is Sixteen, not Shuhang.
  • Shuhang says Sixteen is with him and that they plan to attend the banquet. Su Clan’s Seven, now free to go, asks Three Waves to sell him an extra invitation. Three Waves charges double; Su Clan’s Seven agrees and immediately resumes training him.

Character developments

  • Song Shuhang is suffering an unusual “barely noticeable” effect: even longtime group members fail to register his messages or recognize him. He tries to help Su Clan’s Seven remember Sixteen.
  • Su Clan’s Seven remains deeply concerned about his forgotten junior, though he cannot remember her identity. Once he learns Sixteen is safe and nearby, he becomes eager to attend the banquet.
  • Mad Saber Three Waves is advancing toward a breakthrough and is training under Su Clan’s Seven. He also takes advantage of the situation to sell his spare invitation at a markup.
  • Eternal Fire is preparing the Confucian School for a period of retreat and survival, while keeping ties with the wider cultivation world.

Significant themes

  • A changing age brings both opportunity and danger: new cultivation resources may appear, but so may intruders and threats from other realms.
  • Memory and recognition are fragile: Shuhang’s near-invisibility makes even close acquaintances overlook him, while Su Clan’s Seven has forgotten someone important to him.
  • Community amid upheaval: the group responds to looming crises with advice, business offers, teasing, and practical support.
  • Humor and everyday concerns persist: even discussions of calamity and heavenly change turn into jokes about signs, fortune-telling apps, and banquet invitations.

Character interactions

  • The group’s teasing escalates as members joke about the island’s defenses, with Eastern Six threatening to run over those who endorsed the truck-sign idea.
  • Northern River’s Loose Cultivator and others consider buying Confucian defensive formations, prompting Eternal Fire to offer a referral discount.
  • Rain Moon jokes about Three Waves and Su Clan’s Seven living together; Su Clan’s Seven explains that he is staying with Three Waves to help him improve his saber technique and prepare for tribulation.
  • The group collectively identifies Sixteen as the junior Su Clan’s Seven forgot. Shuhang confirms she is with him, easing the concern.
  • Three Waves sells Su Clan’s Seven an invitation for twice its value, then gets pulled straight back into training.

Ch. 1402A friendly spar, nothing more

Key plot points and events

  • Three Waves asks Song Shuhang about a fairy he can’t remember. Song identifies Fairy Skylark and says she may soon seek Three Waves out. Skylark has split into two versions: one remains trapped in the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room, while the other has returned to the Present World and is preparing for tribulation.
  • The Nine Provinces Number One Group discusses the upcoming Immortal Chef Banquet. Su Clan’s Seven reports that guests from other worlds will attend, and that friendly sparring matches will likely be organized by cultivation level or, for younger disciples, by age.
  • Song Shuhang worries that, despite being only eighteen, his strength and Sage Titles may make him overwhelmingly powerful in an under-twenty bracket.
  • Soft Feather wakes after the group’s escape from the Trial Grounds. Song explains that the ancient Heavenly Emperor possessed her and later left her unconscious.
  • Soft Feather discovers she can no longer contact her Spirit Ghost. Song suspects the Heavenly Emperor borrowed it, much as a Confucian powerhouse once borrowed his own Spirit Ghost. Soon afterward, Soft Feather’s Spirit Ghost Contract cracks into four pieces.
  • Senior White Two tells Song that the Heavenly Dao’s growing “programmatic” behavior has suddenly stopped. Song connects this to the Heavenly Court Project, a plan tied to the Heavenly Dao, and explains what he learned during his Dream Entry. Senior White Two advises him to keep a low profile and quietly work on his Golden Core Formation Diagram, warning that major events are approaching.

Character developments and interactions

  • Three Waves shows unusual concern over a forgotten fairy, while Song Shuhang supplies the likely answer and teases out the possibility that Skylark will return to his life.
  • Su Clan’s Seven is eager to spar and dismisses Three Waves as an easy opponent now that he has advanced to True Lord. The group’s casual chatter contrasts with the potentially tense, inter-world banquet.
  • Soft Feather wakes anxious and disoriented, then becomes determined to recover her Spirit Ghost alongside Song. Their shared misfortune creates a sense of fellowship, though the sudden damage to her contract deepens the mystery.
  • Song Shuhang acts as Soft Feather’s reassuring guide, but his own missing Spirit Ghost and growing suspicions place him amid increasingly large Heavenly Dao-related developments.
  • Senior White Two serves as a cautious adviser, urging Song to avoid drawing attention while events gather momentum.

Significant themes

  • Uncertainty and loss: Both Song and Soft Feather have been separated from their Spirit Ghosts, and the fate of the spirits and their contracts remains unclear.
  • Powerful beings’ schemes: The Heavenly Emperor’s actions may connect the Spirit Ghost incidents to the Heavenly Court Project and changes in the Heavenly Dao.
  • Comedy amid danger: Banter about sparring, forgotten fairies, and Song’s likely “bullying” of younger contestants offsets the serious supernatural threats.
  • Approaching upheaval: The Heavenly Dao’s sudden pause suggests that a major shift in the Present World is imminent.

Ch. 1403Visitors from the Beast Realm

Key plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang remains nearly forgotten by the Myriad Heavens and Realms because of the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room’s effect. Senior White Two can resist it while his true body remains in the Netherworld, though his memory of Shuhang fluctuates.
  • Shuhang gives Senior White Two the partly used, one-time flying sword so he can study its runes and construction. Senior White Two also agrees to meet the Present-World Senior White someday.
  • Shuhang and Soft Feather struggle to buy food because people forget them almost immediately. They settle for flatbread from a stall where food and payment are exchanged directly.
  • Soft Feather learns she can watch a replay of the Overlord Confucian Profound Demon Lecture and jokes about its infamous pregnancy effect. Shuhang insists she not test it in public.
  • Two young women from another world, Yan and A Ling, lead a crowd to protest a local fried-chicken shop for killing chicks. Most of the crowd is under their charm spell.
  • Shuhang has Creation Fairy sing, breaking the spell and dispersing the crowd. He tells the young women that they must respect the Present World’s customs. When they recognize him as Tyrant Song, they fear his supposed pregnancy-inducing gaze.
  • Their senior arrives, apologizes for the disturbance, and identifies them as cultivators from the Beast Realm. She asks whether Shuhang can cure infection by Nine Nether Evil Energy.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang continues trying to manage the consequences of his strange reputation and the Little Black Room’s invisibility. Though reluctant to draw attention, he steps in to protect the shop and his family’s neighborhood from a supernatural disruption.
  • Senior White Two remains mischievous, imagining how Shuhang’s forgotten status could enable pranks and crimes; Shuhang counters with a joke about doing good anonymously.
  • Soft Feather remains playful and curious, teasing Shuhang about the lecture’s pregnancy effect. She also recognizes that the newcomers’ behavior needs to be handled without harming ordinary people.
  • Yan and A Ling are shown as earnest but culturally inflexible: they sincerely view chicks as precious beings and see their slaughter as cruelty. Shuhang and Soft Feather point out that the pair could have bought the chicks rather than frightening the shopkeeper and crowd.
  • The Beast Realm senior is weary of her juniors’ antics but courteous toward Shuhang. Her question about Nine Nether Evil Energy introduces a potentially serious purpose behind the newcomers’ arrival.

Significant themes

  • Cultural misunderstanding: Different worlds have different values and customs; sincere convictions can still cause conflict when imposed on another society.
  • Invisibility and recognition: Shuhang’s status makes him forgettable to most people, yet his reputation as Tyrant Song remains powerful when recognized.
  • Reputation and rumor: The exaggerated belief that Shuhang can cause pregnancy shapes how the young cultivators react to him.
  • Everyday comedy amid larger dangers: Mundane problems—buying lunch or running a fried-chicken shop—sit alongside interworld travel and the threat of Nine Nether Evil Energy.

Ch. 1404The Correct Way to Act Against a Lifelong Enemy

Chapter Summary: “The Correct Way to Act Against a Lifelong Enemy”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang recognizes the long-skirted woman and her companions as cultivators from the Beast Realm because of their knowledge of the Nine Nether Evil Energy infections and his past work treating them.
  • Although the Heaven’s Way “Little Black Room” has caused people to forget Song Shuhang’s identity and appearance, the Beast Realm still remembers the historical event of a mysterious Profound Sage curing infected cultivators. They identify that figure as Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
  • To avoid public attention, Song Shuhang brings the Beast Realm group, along with Soft Feather, to an old rental bookstore. Everyone crouches among the shelves to talk, following Song Shuhang’s peculiar idea of privacy.
  • The long-skirted woman repeatedly forgets why she came there because of the Little Black Room’s influence. Soft Feather warns her to get to the point before she forgets again.
  • The woman asks Song Shuhang for advice on combating the Beast Realm’s continuing Nine Nether Evil Energy crisis. New infection methods—including poisoned pills, fake inheritances, secret realms, and deceptive cultivation opportunities—have made the disease extremely difficult to prevent.
  • Song Shuhang explains that his rapid treatment method depends on an innate ability and his Merit Light, while concealing the role of his Core World.
  • Senior White Two secretly contacts Song Shuhang and proposes researching a sprayable medicinal solution that could neutralize the Evil Energy across groups of infected people. His motivation is to interfere with the Liquid Metal Ball’s plans in the Beast Realm.
  • Song Shuhang presents the idea to the Beast Realm cultivators, claiming that the medicine is nearly complete. The long-skirted woman expresses interest in purchasing either the finished medicine or its production method.
  • She gives Song Shuhang a cross-world communication disc so they can stay in contact.
  • After forgetting the conversation once more, she is reminded by Soft Feather that the discussion is complete. She then asks whether Song Shuhang plans to attend the Immortal Chef Banquet.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang demonstrates caution and strategic thinking by hiding the true source of his healing ability and avoiding revealing the Core World. He also quickly adapts Senior White Two’s idea into a potentially profitable solution.
  • Soft Feather remains observant and practical, helping manage the effects of the Little Black Room and reminding the Beast Realm group to speak efficiently. Her playful behavior in the bookstore also mirrors Song Shuhang’s eccentricity.
  • The long-skirted woman is shown as a responsible representative of the Beast Realm, desperate to find a scalable cure for the worsening crisis. Despite her dignity, the memory-erasing effect leaves her confused and embarrassed.
  • Senior White Two reveals his enduring rivalry with the Liquid Metal Ball. His interest in developing the medicine is driven less by altruism than by the desire to disrupt his lifelong enemy’s plans, though the result may still benefit the Beast Realm.
  • The Beast Realm’s cultivators are portrayed as increasingly pressured by the spread of infection despite their preventive efforts and research.

Significant Themes

  • Memory and identity: The Little Black Room causes people to forget Song Shuhang, separating his current interactions from the fame and reputation of Tyrant Song.
  • Hidden power and strategic secrecy: Song Shuhang withholds information about his Core World and frames his abilities carefully to protect his advantages.
  • Escalation of evil and difficulty of prevention: The Netherworld continually creates new infection methods, showing that defensive measures alone cannot keep pace with an inventive enemy.
  • Rivalry as a source of action: Senior White Two’s hatred of the Liquid Metal Ball motivates him to create a cure, turning personal conflict into a possible solution to a widespread disaster.
  • Commerce and cooperation: The cure becomes both humanitarian aid and a potential business opportunity, with the Beast Realm prepared to pay for a scalable treatment.

Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang and the long-skirted woman negotiate cautiously, with her seeking medical guidance and him balancing helpfulness against the need to protect his secrets.
  • Soft Feather assists Song Shuhang and repeatedly guides the confused woman through the conversation.

Key plot points

  • Song Shuhang meets a woman and two juniors from the Beast Realm at a book rental shop. They are attending the Immortal Chef Banquet, where Song expects competitions to be divided by age and cultivation level. He jokingly insists he is eighteen and belongs in the under-twenty group, alarming and confusing the others.
  • After the visitors leave, Soft Feather explains that the romance manga they found was secretly written by Supreme Unity True Person, master of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. He created it to win over Fairy Dusk Snow, whose love of the genre he had studied; after a long-running chase over missed updates, the two fell in love and married.
  • Song and Soft Feather return to his home at night. His parents have forgotten him, so he cannot simply enter openly, though his room remains unchanged. They settle in with Song’s many companions while Soft Feather sets up a soundproofing formation.
  • Soft Feather asks what might win her affection. Song suggests taking her through exciting Secret Realms and places to explore. Her unusually poised laugh makes him suspect the Heavenly Emperor has taken over her body.
  • The Heavenly Emperor confirms that she is possessing Soft Feather. She says she only wanted a quiet visit and greets Song as someone she has not seen for a thousand years. Song denies being the person she remembers, suggesting she may have mistaken him for Song Blockhead.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang jokes about his age and reflects on the awkwardness of having a home whose occupants have forgotten him. He quickly notices the Heavenly Emperor’s presence through Soft Feather’s changed manner.

  • The Heavenly Emperor appears unexpectedly through Soft Feather and speaks as if she and Song share a thousand-year-old history.

  • The Beast Realm woman and her juniors exchange friendly banter with Song before leaving for the banquet.

Significant themes

  • Identity and memory: Song rejects the idea that he is a reincarnated or hidden version of someone from the past, while the Heavenly Emperor’s greeting raises questions about his identity.

Ch. 1406Senior Song, make the world more interesting

Plot points and events

  • A mysterious, elegant version of Soft Feather appears, explaining that she has reached Song Shuhang across the Way of Time from roughly a thousand years in the future. She recognizes everyone present and briefly interacts with them, including teasing the sleeping Su Clan’s Sixteen.
  • Future Soft Feather warns Song to live well, declines to reveal how many times his future self has died, and explains that their thousand-year separation happened because he entered secluded cultivation. She urges him to create more interesting secret realms and forbidden areas before returning to the present.
  • Ordinary Soft Feather awakens with no memory of the intervening encounter. She discovers that her Spirit Ghost Contract has split into four pieces. Song’s contract is damaged too, but he reassures her that the contracts’ continued existence means their Spirit Ghosts may still be alive. They form a “Spirit Ghost Recovery Alliance.”
  • The next morning, Song receives a call from Lay Buddhist Most Transcendent, who has forgotten their plans for the Immortal Chef Banquet. Song reminds him, and Most Transcendent agrees to travel to Wenzhou. Song’s call to Senior White goes unanswered, leaving Song unsure whether he is still in seclusion.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song is unsettled by the prospect that his future self will spend a thousand years cultivating, but takes the warning about repeated deaths in stride. He offers Soft Feather hope and solidarity over their missing Spirit Ghosts.
  • Future Soft Feather seems more poised and mature than her usual self, yet her humor and affection remain. Her visit suggests she has grown close to Song and the group over time.
  • Onion Lady accepts that she is unlikely to surpass Song, despite her cultivation ambitions and newly acquired Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber. She jokes that she may be a “fake” Eight-Rebirth Cultivator.
  • Soft Feather and Song comfort each other and commit to recovering their Spirit Ghosts. The group’s familiar, domestic closeness is emphasized in their overnight arrangements.

Significant themes

  • Time, memory, and change: Future Soft Feather’s visit reveals how people may change while remaining emotionally recognizable; her memories bridge a thousand-year gap.
  • Cultivation and isolation: A thousand years of secluded cultivation is normal for powerful cultivators, but it can leave relationships cold and distant.
  • Persistence and companionship: The damaged contracts offer hope that the Spirit Ghosts survive, and Song and Soft Feather face the uncertainty together.
  • Comic contrast: Song’s extraordinarily rapid advancement makes the idea of him quietly cultivating for a millennium seem implausible, while his associates struggle to keep pace.

Ch. 1407Possibly Aunt Flo Has Arrived

Summary

Song Shuhang worries that the Immortal Chef Banquet may involve a catastrophe, recalling the repeated deaths he suffered when Senior White’s absence coincided with the attack on the Confucian School’s Golden Lotus World. He checks whether Senior White has emerged from seclusion, but gets no answer from the Thousand-Mile Voice Flute. Senior Yellow Mountain confirms by phone that White is still secluded, though the banquet is not until the next day.
The call turns into a comic exchange with Doudou, who has apparently taken human form. Still resentful over the bizarre ten-month pregnancy and labor he endured after transforming, Doudou curses Shuhang with a monthly period lasting a month. Shuhang tries to reassure Yellow Mountain that the pregnancy-causing power came from the Confucian Sage’s Eye, not from him, but Yellow Mountain quickly ends the call.
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the cultivators discuss whether to attend. They plan to gather near the venue but wait outside until Senior White wakes, and Yellow Mountain agrees to warn everyone if he remains in seclusion. Shuhang decides to wait for Mouth-Cannon Giant and the others before making a final choice; he and Soft Feather then prepare to cultivate while hoping White emerges in time.
Shuhang suddenly becomes weak and restless, with aching legs, heart palpitations, and abdominal pain. Soft Feather jokes that Doudou’s curse has given him a period, but White Dragon Sister offers a different explanation: something in Shuhang’s Dantian is about to give birth. Shuhang checks and finds his Fat Whale Golden Core trembling, its armor peeling away.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang remains cautious because of past disasters, but is also the target of escalating jokes about his supposed pregnancy curse. His unexplained symptoms shift the scene from banter to a new mystery.
  • Soft Feather understands Shuhang’s fear of attending without Senior White, supports him when he feels unwell, and eagerly anticipates the banquet. Her playful period diagnosis contrasts with White Dragon Sister’s serious explanation.
  • Doudou, now apparently human-shaped, is still bitter about his past ordeal and uses the phone call to torment Shuhang and tease Yellow Mountain.
  • True Lord Yellow Mountain confirms Senior White is still secluded and relays a warning to the group, but ends the call quickly after Doudou’s pregnancy jokes.
  • White Dragon Sister identifies the likely cause of Shuhang’s symptoms as an impending birth within his Dantian.

Significant themes

The chapter combines comedy with looming danger: absurd pregnancy jokes and group-chat banter sit alongside Shuhang’s anxiety about a potentially deadly banquet. It also emphasizes the group’s dependence on Senior White’s extraordinary luck and protection, while the Fat Whale Golden Core’s apparent transformation introduces a new thread of mysterious bodily and spiritual change.

Ch. 1408Urgent! How Do You Perform a C-Section on a Golden Core? Waiting Online!

Key plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang’s Fat Whale Golden Core begins trembling violently because it is somehow about to deliver a “little Golden Core.” Since it is only a Golden Core and has no reproductive organs, it cannot give birth, leaving Song Shuhang weak and in pain.
  • Soft Feather is fascinated and asks to see the event through Song’s inner vision, but he cannot safely bring her consciousness inside.
  • Merit Snake Beauty eases Song’s pain by touching his belly, then projects a live image of the struggling whale core—much to Song’s embarrassment.
  • The group debates the impossible problem. Soft Feather proposes a C-section, then asks the Nine Provinces Number One Group for help, repeatedly posting to attract attention despite her “minor transparent” status.
  • Group members misunderstand the question as news that Song has a pregnant Dao companion, and joke about his pregnancy-related abilities. Soft Feather clarifies that Song’s Golden Core is the one in trouble and shares a picture.
  • Yellow Mountain suggests squeezing the little core out through the whale’s mouth. Soft Feather relays the idea, and Song realizes it might work.
  • Merit Snake Beauty asks whether she may touch his Golden Core. Song agrees. She reaches into his Natal Dantian and squeezes the Fat Whale Golden Core upward, successfully forcing a small, glittering Golden Core out of its mouth.

Character developments

  • Song Shuhang moves from panic and despair to relief when a solution is found, though his predicament remains deeply embarrassing.
  • Soft Feather remains eager and adventurous, using persistence—and shameless message-spamming—to get help from the group.
  • Merit Snake Beauty shows both tenderness and practical initiative: she comforts Song, then takes decisive action once he consents.
  • Yellow Mountain provides an unexpectedly simple solution, while the group’s other members reveal how readily they turn confusion into jokes.

Significant themes

  • Absurdity and comic reversal: A Golden Core’s “pregnancy” is treated like a medical emergency, complete with discussion of childbirth procedures.
  • Community and cooperation: Soft Feather consults the group, and an unconventional suggestion helps resolve the crisis.
  • Trust and consent: Merit Snake Beauty asks permission before reaching into Song’s Dantian to handle his Golden Core.

Character interactions

  • Song and Soft Feather trade increasingly incredulous comments about the situation.
  • Merit Snake Beauty comforts Song, then embarrasses him by broadcasting his Golden Core’s distress to everyone present.
  • The group members tease Song based on mistaken assumptions, while Soft Feather repeatedly corrects them.
  • Song ultimately trusts Merit Snake Beauty enough to let her manipulate his Golden Core, enabling the delivery.

Ch. 1409Dual Engines, Power You Deserve

Plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang’s Fat Whale Golden Core gives birth to a second, smaller Golden Core. The Little Core bears nine Dragon Patterns and substantially boosts Shuhang’s energy and recovery.
  • The group worries that two Golden Cores in one Dantian could cause a catastrophic problem when Shuhang reaches the Sixth Grade, where a Golden Core transforms into a Spirit Lake.
  • The Little Core is knocked away by the Fat Whale Core, then leaves Shuhang’s Natal Dantian and settles in his Dragon Tail Dantian. This may let Shuhang develop a second Spirit Lake later, giving him an unusual dual-energy system.
  • Soft Feather thanks Senior Yellow Mountain in the group chat for helping make the birth possible, though the others are astonished by the news.
  • The group discusses the approaching Immortal Chef Banquet. A highly intelligent Wing King Whale has escaped the Lake God Alliance’s capture and may threaten ordinary people; members are urged to find and recapture it.

Character developments and interactions

  • Shuhang gains a major cultivation advantage but remains uncertain about how to manage his two cores. He jokes about digging one out, while others offer theories and advice.
  • Soft Feather eagerly narrates the Little Core’s “birth” and “runaway,” and keeps the group updated while respecting Shuhang’s privacy.
  • Scarlet Heaven Sword, White Dragon Sister, Senior Turtle, and Onion Lady contribute cultivation knowledge. Their discussion turns the potential danger of two cores into the possibility of an extra Spirit Lake.
  • Senior Yellow Mountain is surprised that his suggestion worked. Lay Buddhist Bright Moon is already traveling to meet Shuhang by automatic flying-sword navigation.
  • At the banquet, Young Master Phoenix Slayer is eager to claim the escaped whale as a dish, while Fairy Lychee and Yellow Mountain emphasize its intelligence and the danger it poses.

Significant themes

  • Power and adaptation: A dangerous cultivation complication may become a unique advantage once the Little Core finds a separate Dantian.
  • Found family and comic companionship: The group responds to Shuhang’s bizarre “birth” with jokes, concern, and practical support.
  • Responsibility alongside strength: The escaped whale is treated not only as a culinary prize but as a potential threat to civilians.

Ch. 1410The Disappointment of Two Consecutive Losses

  • While Song is away, Soft Feather tries to play rock-paper-scissors with Senior Turtle, who cannot transform into human form and jokes that he can only throw “paper.”
  • Everything Can Be Sold Big Shot appears and offers Soft Feather a chance to shop. She buys two Aura-Hiding Blankets, then asks for a way to make a Natal Golden Core pregnant—a phenomenon the others confirm has just occurred.
  • Unable to provide that, the Big Shot sells her a finished External-Core Artifact made from a Fifth-Grade Great Demon’s core. It will give her near-Fifth-Grade spiritual power while she remains Fourth-Grade.
  • Song returns with Lay Buddhist Most Transcendent. Soft Feather explains she bought matching blankets for herself and her father, should he be able to attend the banquet.
  • Soft Feather hopes to capture the escaped Wing King Whale, but learns it has already been caught by Dao Lord Clearcloud after it fled into space.

Character developments

  • Soft Feather is eager, playful, and decisive. She spends freely on useful and amusing items, but remains committed to advancing through her own cultivation and condensing a Nine-Dragon Pattern rather than relying on an External Core.
  • Song Shuhang is recovered and energetic after his Little Golden Core’s “birth.” He continues his habit of exiting and entering rooms through windows.
  • Everything Can Be Sold Big Shot is confident in his salesmanship but is twice thrown off: first by Soft Feather’s request to buy the blanket he is wearing, and then by the revelation of a pregnant Golden Core.
  • Lay Buddhist Most Transcendent feels kinship with Song and Soft Feather because they share his low “presence.”

Significant themes

  • Cultivation versus shortcuts: Soft Feather accepts the External Core as a tool, but insists it will not replace her goal of advancing naturally.
  • Comedic absurdity: The chapter plays the extraordinary idea of a pregnant Golden Core straight, while contrasting it with mundane shopping and blanket jokes.
  • Ambition and disappointment: Soft Feather seeks both power and adventure, only to find her hoped-for target already captured.

Character interactions

  • Soft Feather and Senior Turtle share a playful moment over his inability to play rock-paper-scissors.
  • Soft Feather outmaneuvers the Big Shot’s sales pitch, bargaining for the blanket he wears before buying other goods.

They travel through White Dragon Sea Province, where participants from many different traditions are converging.
  • White Dragon Sister briefly threatens a passing Rainbow Pegasus by saying she wants to eat it. Song Shuhang promises to arrange a horse-meat feast after the banquet, though she explains she cannot eat in her current Merit Body-like state.
  • A muscular, white-haired Fifth-Grade cultivator approaches Song Shuhang. Song Shuhang’s “Known Throughout the World” attribute makes the man recognize him as “Tyrant Song,” while the Reverse Whale Warrior Gauntlets’ Holy Light aura leads the man to mistake him for a sage of the Church of the End.
  • The old man explains that his faith community has forgotten its god and that their Lord seems to have vanished. Song Shuhang understands that their god is the Planet with Eyes, which the current Heavenly Dao has erased from memory and confined to the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room.
  • When asked whether the god is alive, Song Shuhang tells the man that it has passed away. The believer rejects the news and proposes summoning the god, offering his own life as the price.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang wants a quiet, uneventful trip, but once again becomes the center of an unexpected encounter. He tries to respond honestly to the believer, despite being mistaken for a religious authority.
  • Soft Feather is disappointed by the lost chance to capture the whale and obtain Fairy Bie Xue’s cuisine, and misses Senior White.
  • The Mysterious Lay Buddhist bonds with Song Shuhang over their shared interest in increasing their presence; their conversation makes them feel like old friends.
  • White Dragon Sister provides Song Shuhang with a suggested holy greeting, then encourages him to improvise when the believer asks about his god. Her joking appetite contrasts with her compassion for the believer’s grief.
  • The white-haired believer moves from frightened recognition to hopeful reverence, then to denial and desperation when told his god is gone.

Significant themes

  • Faith and loss: The believers’ inability to remember their god has shattered their faith and left them grieving without knowing what they have lost.
  • Truth and compassion: Song Shuhang answers the believer’s question directly, even though the truth is painful; the scene leaves open whether candor is the kindest response.
  • Unintended identity and reputation: Song Shuhang’s fame and the aura of his gauntlets cause strangers to project identities and authority onto him.
  • Comedy amid tragedy: The chapter mixes absurd flight encounters and awkward humor with the serious plight of a community whose deity has been erased from memory.

Ch. 1412We can't lose on grandeur or presence!

Key events

  • Worried that the Church of the End intends to disrupt the Immortal Chef Banquet and summon its forgotten god, Song Shuhang attacks a white-haired cultist.

Shuhang, Soft Feather, and the Buddhist head toward Su Clan’s Seven and Mad Saber Three Waves.
  • In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, members coordinate surveillance around the banquet. The group confirms that a Church of the End member has been captured and plans to have Fairy Eastern Six interrogate him, with Senior Yellow Mountain also hoping to question him afterward.
  • Guests begin arriving at the banquet. Demon Dream Sage Lord, an Eighth-Grade Profound Sage, makes an impressive entrance in a chariot drawn by two red dragons and asks whether First Millennium Sage has arrived. Elder Ren says he has not, but expects Saint Lord Tyrant Song.
  • The group teases Shuhang about making a suitably grand entrance as one of its Sage Lords. He despairs: he is only a Fifth-Grade cultivator, and his available weapons and effects seem too unimpressive—or too invisible—to make a spectacle.
  • Another Profound Sage arrives on a Rainbow Phoenix with two girls and asks whether Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is there.

Character developments and interactions

  • Shuhang acts decisively against the cultist, combining several body-tempering techniques and his gauntlets’ numerous effects. His concern about the Church’s plans also reflects his wish to spare Senior White trouble.
  • Mysterious Lay Buddhist demonstrates a powerful but limited capture technique, clarifying that it works mainly on weaker opponents. Soft Feather compares it to her own Inch-Shrinking Bag.
  • The group’s banter continues: Three Waves jokes about entering the under-twenty competition, only to be told an age-verification spell would expose him. He then tries to avoid Fairy Eastern Six, who threatens to “grind” him.
  • Shuhang’s reputation as Tyrannical Song precedes him, leaving him anxious about living up to the grand expectations surrounding his arrival.

Significant themes

  • Spectacle versus reality: The banquet’s grand arrivals and the group’s expectations contrast with Shuhang’s modest cultivation and lack of a suitably dramatic entrance.
  • Comedy and camaraderie: Teasing and playful threats soften the serious concern over a possible cult attack.
  • Rising tension: Powerful visitors are gathering, while the Church of the End’s intentions remain unclear and the banquet may be in danger.

  • The group discusses the Heavenly Dao Little Black Room’s “transparency”: most people are gradually forgetting Song Shuhang. Only a few close associates, including Soft Feather, Su Clan’s Sixteen, and Senior White, still remember him clearly.
  • Winter Melon Sage Lord arrives seeking a rematch with Tyrant Song. Though he has forgotten Song’s appearance, he remembers losing to him and is eager to restore his reputation. He declares that whoever backs down is “a watermelon,” provoking a comic complaint from Daoist Watermelon.
  • Fairy Eastern Six accidentally drives an armored chariot into the house where Song and others are gathered. Song stops it one-handed, displaying his formidable strength. The impact draws nearby observers’ attention, and they recognize him as Tyrant Song—the Double Sage and First Sage Under Heaven.

Character developments

  • Song Shuhang remains playful and shamelessly suggests competing against people under twenty, but his strength is unmistakable when he halts the chariot.

  • Fairy Fengqing is eager to meet Tyrant Song, unaware that she has already encountered him.
  • Fairy Eastern Six is reckless and comically inept at operating her chariot, while Song’s companions scramble to prevent disaster.

Significant themes

  • The cost of the Heavenly Dao’s power: Song’s existence is fading from others’ memories, isolating him even from people who once knew him.
  • Reputation and rivalry: The First Millennium Sage’s growing fame attracts challengers and expectations.
  • Comedy amid danger: Exaggerated boasts, bad luck, and the chariot collision contrast with the serious stakes of Sage-level power.

Character interactions

  • Three Waves warns Song that other Sages may test him; Song answers with a joke about entering the youth competition, exasperating the group.
  • The group teases and sympathizes with unlucky Xian Gong, whose injuries and misfortunes continue.
  • Winter Melon publicly calls out Tyrant Song, while Daoist Watermelon resents being used as the insult.
  • During Fairy Eastern Six’s crash, Su Clan’s Seven and others try to guide her, and Song physically protects the house—and its occupants—by stopping the chariot.

Ch. 1414A Man with His Own BGM

Plot and events

  • Song Shuhang had hoped to wait quietly near the Immortal Chef Banquet Secret Realm for Senior White, but his attempt to stop Fairy Eastern Six’s chariot exposed him.
  • Inside the realm, Guo Da—an elder of the Southern Everlasting Sword Sect and a member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group—publicly welcomed “Saint Lord Tyrant Song,” forcing Shuhang to abandon his plan to stay hidden.
  • Encouraged by Soft Feather to make a memorable entrance, Shuhang arrived in an extravagant display: a Shrimp Dragon Swift Chariot, a full set of Eighth-Grade equipment, and the towering Never-Falling Holy City, his composite Natal Dharma Artifact.
  • The Holy City’s music and performances impressed the assembled cultivators. Merit Snake Beauty played the zither, strengthening listeners’ Dao Hearts, while Creation Fairy’s singing dispelled Heart Demon distractions.
  • Shuhang descended with his eyes closed, using mental perception and Merit Snake Beauty’s shared vision. Onlookers assumed he was avoiding eye contact because his Pregnancy Gaze might affect them. He presented Guo Da with his invitation and entered the banquet.

Character developments and interactions

  • Song Shuhang feels weary and reluctant to attract attention, but accepts that his identity is known and gives the gathered cultivators an impressive entrance. His lavish equipment and powerful Dharma Artifact also underline how far he has progressed.
  • Soft Feather enthusiastically advises Shuhang on his entrance, including keeping his eyes closed; her suggestion leads to the crowd’s mistaken interpretation.
  • Guo Da is revealed as both a respected Southern Everlasting Sword Sect elder and Shuhang’s fellow group member. Shuhang shows him respect by responding to his welcome and entering with him.
  • Winter Melon Sage Lord recognizes Shuhang’s strength, recalling that his earlier defeat came from Shuhang’s devastating saber strike—not merely his equipment.
  • Demon Dream Sage Lord and Winter Melon speculate about the nature of the two fairies accompanying Shuhang, highlighting how unusual his manifestations are.

Significant themes

  • Reputation versus reality: The cultivators mistake Shuhang for a Confucian Sage and interpret his closed eyes as a deliberate defense against his Pregnancy Gaze.
  • Spectacle and status: Shuhang’s entrance turns a reluctant appearance into a grand public demonstration of power and resources.
  • Inner strength and spiritual cultivation: The zither’s effect on Dao Hearts and the song’s ability to dispel Heart Demons show that spiritual support can be as impressive as martial power.
  • Comedic misunderstanding: The crowd’s fearful assumptions about Shuhang contrast with his awkwardness and desire to keep a low profile.

Ch. 1415An Incomplete Seclusion

Key plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang stays hidden in a small house while a special clone attends the Immortal Chef Banquet. Created through a resurrection artifact and Senior White Two’s methods, the clone is identical to him, shares his energy, and can recover if killed—though Shuhang feels the death pain.
  • The clone joins three Profound Sages in the resting area. Their conversation abruptly stops when he arrives, leaving him awkwardly silent until he stages a dramatic collapse to break the tension.
  • The Nine Provinces Number One Group reacts to Shuhang’s grand entrance and the completed Eighth-Grade Thirty-Three Beasts Composite Dharma Artifact. Seven Cultivator and Fairy Six Cultivations realize they helped forge it, though Fairy Six Cultivations has no memory of doing so.
  • Outside, Su Clan’s Seven mistakes Soft Feather for the junior he had forgotten. Shuhang clarifies that the junior is Su Clan’s Sixteen, who is in his Core World.
  • Winter Melon Sage Lord asks the clone for another duel. Shuhang agrees, privately counting on his transparency to make the arrangement easy to forget—but Winter Melon sets a definite date and location: October 10 at Forbidden Summit.
  • Senior White finally emerges from seclusion after remembering he promised to take Shuhang, Sixteen, and Soft Feather to the banquet.

Character developments and interactions

  • Shuhang’s caution and self-deprecating humor come through: he uses the clone to avoid risking his main body and prefers silence when unsure what to say. He also takes advantage of his transparency to sidestep a future duel.
  • Su Clan’s Seven’s forgotten junior turns out to be Sixteen, prompting Shuhang to offer to bring her out of his Core World.
  • Fairy Six Cultivations’s confusion over her role in forging Shuhang’s weapons contrasts with Seven Cultivator’s amused recollections of the painful process.
  • Senior White’s return reassures Shuhang, while also showing that White’s promise to accompany the group mattered enough to end his unsatisfying seclusion.

Significant themes

  • Identity and memory: Shuhang’s transparency distorts how people remember him, but his lecture and its contents remain memorable; even friends’ memories of shared events can be unreliable.
  • Risk and protection: The clone lets Shuhang participate while keeping his main body safe, reflecting his reliance on layered safeguards after repeated deaths.
  • Awkwardness and comic relief: The sages’ silence, the clone’s staged collapse, and the group’s teasing turn social discomfort into humor.
  • Friendship and obligation: Senior White’s promise to travel with the others brings him out of seclusion.

Ch. 1416Was this karma?

Plot points and events

  • Senior White emerges from seclusion and arranges to meet Song Shuhang, Soft Feather, Yellow Mountain, and Doudou at the Immortal Chef Banquet. His spatial ability lets him bring Yellow Mountain and Doudou along almost instantly.
  • The group chat erupts in its usual teasing: Doudou is muted for insulting Yellow Mountain, while several members get caught in a chain of jokes about bad luck, dark complexions, and white teeth.
  • Senior White notices Song Shuhang’s Profound Demon Lecture. Shuhang warns that its Confucian Sage’s Eye inflicts a “Pregnancy Gaze,” but Senior White is curious and deliberately watches on.
  • Senior White arrives while the lecture is still broadcasting. Doudou, in Pekingese form, tries to impress Soft Feather and ask her out; she rejects him and rubs his head.
  • Despite Shuhang’s warnings, Senior White waits for the Sage’s Eye to appear. When its light strikes him, he seems unaffected—until his clone suddenly drops out of his body.
  • The clone says it is suffering the effects, complaining of pain in a perfectly expressionless voice. It calls the mishap “retribution” and resents being stuck with the consequences of an incident involving another clone.

Character developments and interactions

  • Senior White remains curious and fearless, even treating the dangerous lecture as something worth investigating. He appears to have transferred its effect to his clone.
  • Song Shuhang is wary and tries to protect Senior White, explaining the lecture’s danger and urging him to stop watching. He also recounts how he gained the Profound Demon title after surviving a brutal ordeal.
  • Senior White’s clone becomes the chapter’s comic focus: outwardly composed but claiming to be in agony, he hints that clones can inherit consequences caused by one another.
  • Soft Feather eagerly anticipates turning the incident into new Senior White stickers, while also indulging Doudou’s flirtation only enough to pet him.
  • Doudou continues his obsession with the name “Chu Chu” and boasts about his wealth and status to impress Soft Feather, without success.
  • Yellow Mountain and the group provide a backdrop of familiar banter, highlighting the close-knit, teasing dynamic of the Nine Provinces group.

Significant themes

  • Comic consequences and “retribution”: Senior White’s experiment appears to spare his main body but leaves his clone suffering.
  • Curiosity versus caution: Shuhang warns of the danger, yet Senior White’s interest outweighs the warning.
  • Clones and shared burdens: The ending raises the question of how responsibility and harm can pass among Senior White’s clones.
  • Group camaraderie: The friends’ teasing, concern, and joking responses frame even a bizarre supernatural mishap as a shared social event.

Ch. 1417Senior White and the Never-Calming Furious Setting Sun

Plot and events

  • Fairy Eastern Six points out that, as a new Profound Sage, Senior White could make a grand entrance. He initially declines, but Song Shuhang offers him the Thirty-Three Beasts Composite Dharma Artifact, which he had refined during his tribulation.
  • Senior White uses the set to enter in spectacular fashion, riding the Shrimp Dragon Swift Chariot and appearing with the Never-Falling Holy City. The crowd recognizes the display as the same equipment used for Tyrannical Song’s famous entrance.
  • While examining the artifacts, Senior White realizes their design feels remarkably like his own work. He suspects they can form other configurations, but resists dismantling Shuhang’s lifebound artifacts because damaging them could harm Shuhang.
  • Instead, Senior White imagines building a similar set for himself: a powerful, fiery form shaped like an angry setting sun. His thoughts—and a forceful slap on the chariot—trigger the artifacts to transform into Form 2: Never-Calming Furious Setting Sun. Its flames raise the temperature around the banquet, leaving reporters overheated and bewildered.

Character developments and interactions

  • Senior White remains playful and curious, but shows restraint by refusing to risk Shuhang’s lifebound artifacts. His creative instincts nevertheless set off an unexpected transformation.
  • Song Shuhang lends Senior White his treasured artifact set and returns his damaged Wood Ox Swordsman’s Heart Gloves to his clone, hoping to repair and eventually return them.
  • Soft Feather and Fairy Eastern Six tease Senior White about his entrance; the group readily agrees to seek a meal together.
  • The reporters and banquet hosts welcome Senior White, but he becomes so absorbed in his ideas that he ignores the greeting and accidentally creates a blazing spectacle.

Significant themes

  • Karma and comic consequences: Senior White’s clone suffers the very fate once intended for his main body.
  • Restraint versus curiosity: Senior White wants to take the artifacts apart, but considers the danger to Shuhang and holds back.
  • Unexpected creative connection: The artifacts’ design seems aligned with Senior White’s own way of thinking, hinting at unexplained similarities between them.
  • Spectacle and absurdity: A borrowed entrance display becomes an even grander, uncontrolled demonstration of power.

Ch. 1418The Heavens Have Two Suns, the Signal Has Arrived—Summon Our Lord!

Plot points and events

  • Senior White descends in a spectacular “second sun” formed by Song Shuhang’s life-bound artifact, but the display rapidly drains Song’s spiritual power.
  • A captured Church of the End believer sees the sun and declares that the signal has arrived. He sends a cache of high-grade Spirit Stones away using a spatial talisman, while insisting his god will soon revive.
  • A Ninth-Grade false god opens a Divine Kingdom Gate and brings forth a Metal Heart. Tens of thousands of believers chant as the heart absorbs vast quantities of Spirit Stones and is sent toward Song’s artifact, apparently to use it as a vessel for the Eyed Planet’s return.
  • Song withdraws the artifact, leaving the Metal Heart suspended without its intended target.
  • Senior White Two reveals that he had secretly arranged the summoning, but the Church’s believers activated the formation too early. He tells Song to seize the heart with the Never-Falling Holy City.
  • Unable to lend Song power directly without attracting the Current Heaven’s attention, Senior White Two sends him a pill that will restore his spiritual power—at the cost of prolonged weakness and visible darkening from Nine Nether energy.

Character developments

  • Song Shuhang is nearly exhausted by his own artifact, yet remains defiant toward the Church of the End and readily agrees to help Senior White Two.

  • Senior White Two is revealed to have orchestrated the Church’s ritual for his own purposes. His plan is disrupted by the believers’ premature action, but he adapts quickly.
  • The muscular believer displays fanatical conviction, treating the apparent second sun as proof of his lord’s return, even when Song explains it is a magical treasure.

Significant themes

  • Plans undone by zealotry: Senior White Two’s scheme nearly succeeds, but his followers’ irrational timing compromises it.
  • Betrayal and rivalry: Song’s hostility toward the Church of the End is absolute, and he is happy to thwart its plans regardless of what it wants.
  • Power comes at a cost: Song’s spectacular display drains him, and the promised remedy carries serious side effects.

Character interactions

  • Song asks Senior White to stop the display before his spiritual power is depleted; Senior White promptly lands.
  • Fairy Eastern Six, Lay Buddhist Divine Horse, and Su Clan’s Seven try to restrain the believer and intercept his offerings, but the spatial talisman defeats them.

Ch. 1419The World, Tremble!

Key plot points and events

  • Song Shuhang admits that his transforming Dharma artifact may have prompted the Church of the End to act early: its second form resembled a setting sun, which they could have mistaken for a second sun.
  • To recover his spiritual power, he takes one of Senior White Two’s Nine Netherworlds pills. It restores him completely but turns his skin charcoal-black—an effect Senior White Two avoids only because he has developed an immunity.
  • Song prepares to seize the Metal Heart, which is guarded by a Ninth-Grade-equivalent Divine Kingdom False God and Church of the End followers.

  • T2333 restrains and weakens the False God. Song uses the Never-Falling Holy City to capture the Metal Heart, then hits the vulnerable False God with Pregnancy Gaze.
  • Recognizing Song as the “Tyrant Confucian Profound Demon,” the enraged False God vows revenge. Song responds by using his new “Embryo Gaze” talent.

Character developments

Ch. 1420Flowers Bloom, Flowers Fall, Bearing Seeds of Poetry

Chapter 1419 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Song Shuhang uses his Netherworld-derived innate ability, Embryo Gaze, on the weakened God Nation Pseudo-God after Little Sun T2333’s orbital bombardment severely reduces its defenses.
  • Combined with Pregnancy Gaze, the technique produces an unexpected transformation rather than a literal birth:
    • The pseudo-god’s divine body, god nation, and true body merge into a massive tree.
    • A brilliant flower blooms at the top, absorbing the pseudo-god’s power.
    • The flower eventually withers and leaves behind a transparent seed.
  • The pseudo-god briefly reclaims some of its power, but Senior White Two’s mental attack traps it in an endless cycle of despair, death, and resurrection. Its will collapses, allowing the flower to complete the plunder.
  • Song Shuhang examines the seed and discovers that it contains a fragment of the Ancient Heavenly Court, specifically what Senior Turtle identifies as Cafeteria No. 111.
  • The pseudo-god returns to its original form but is severely weakened and flees into its god nation without making threats.
  • Senior White Two explains that the combined ability is essentially a power of plunder, capable of randomly stealing power, wealth, or valuable objects from its target.
  • Song Shuhang prepares to transfer the metal heart to Senior White Two, who intends to install it as the core of Little Sun T2333. However, the heart is unexpectedly stuck to the Shrimp Dragon Swift Chariot.

Character Developments

  • Song Shuhang gains a clearer understanding of his Netherworld innate ability. Although Embryo Gaze appears misleadingly named, its true function is to strip valuable resources from enemies.
  • His confidence grows after successfully plundering an Ancient Heavenly Court fragment from an existence equivalent to a Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal.
  • Senior White Two analyzes the ability and confirms its random, wealth-oriented nature. He is also comically disappointed that Embryo Gaze did not produce an actual living “offspring.”
  • The God Nation Pseudo-God suffers a major defeat. Its god nation and power are partially stripped away, its mental defenses collapse under Senior White Two’s attack, and it retreats in fear.
  • Senior Turtle contributes his knowledge of the Ancient Heavenly Court, identifying the structure inside the seed.

Significant Themes

  • Plunder and Netherworld law: The ability reflects the Netherworld’s principles, where taking another being’s power or wealth is presented as natural and legitimate.
  • Appearance versus reality: Despite its name, Embryo Gaze does not create life. Its apparent pregnancy imagery instead leads to the extraction and transformation of the target’s resources.
  • Luck and randomness: The ability may steal something extraordinarily valuable or something useless, depending on Song Shuhang’s luck. His first use produces a rare Ancient Heavenly Court fragment.
  • Ancient Heavenly Court mystery: The repeated discovery of Heavenly Court fragments inside pseudo-gods suggests a deeper connection between these beings, their god nations, and the lost Heavenly Court.
  • Power through external foundations: The pseudo-god’s strength depends heavily on its god nation. Once that support is compromised, its Ninth-Grade-level power rapidly declines.

Character Interactions

  • Song Shuhang and the God Nation Pseudo-God clash after the bombardment leaves the pseudo-god vulnerable.
  • Senior White Two attacks the pseudo-god’s spirit directly, ensuring that it cannot resist the plundering process.
  • Song Shuhang consults Senior Turtle about the seed, leading to the identification of the Ancient Heavenly Court cafeteria fragment.
  • Senior White Two teases Song Shuhang about having “given birth” to a son and criticizes the misleading name of Embryo Gaze.
  • Song Shuhang discusses the metal heart and Little Sun T2333 with Senior White Two, but the chapter ends when the heart refuses to detach from the Shrimp Dragon Swift Chariot.
