Chapter Summaries

Senior White's Clone divined good fortune for Zhou Li and Ouyang Yuan's marriage and moderate fortune for Song Shuhang, who then prepared to help transfer the Heavenly Court Fragments. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperor went to retrieve fragments from the Confucian School but was intercepted by Everything Can Be Sold, and she agreed to return three fragments to him.

• The Heavenly Emperor used traces from former Heavenly Court members to locate the Confucian School's hidden fragments and Golden Lotus World, then prepared to retrieve the fragments.
• Everything Can Be Sold sealed space and confronted the Heavenly Emperor, who agreed to return his three Eastern Spring Pavilion fragments.

The Heavenly Emperor returned Everything Can Be Sold’s three Heavenly Court Fragments, claiming she had left a hidden measure on them, though she had actually removed what she needed and left them untouched. At the Confucian School, Song Shuhang and the others investigated why the Golden Lotus World rejected most Heavenly Court Fragments and prepared to test one in Song Shuhang’s Core World.

• The Heavenly Emperor returned the three Eastern Spring Pavilion fragments to Everything Can Be Sold and challenged him to find and undo a hidden measure that she had not actually placed on them.
• The Heavenly Emperor traveled toward the Confucian School to recover its Heavenly Court Fragments, having already taken the parts related to her Dao from Everything Can Be Sold’s fragments.
• True Lord Eternal Fire demonstrated that the Golden Lotus World rejected a large Heavenly Court plaza fragment, which bounced back and stopped safely in front of Senior Turtle.
• Song Shuhang reported that his Core World had sensed the Golden Lotus World feeling nauseous when it rejected the fragment.
• Song Shuhang and True Lord Eternal Fire agreed to test whether Song Shuhang’s Core World would reject the Heavenly Court fragment.

Song Shuhang and Senior White tested whether the Heavenly Court Fragment could enter Song Shuhang’s Core World, using Senior White’s Heavenly Sleeve Cosmos spell to move it. The Core World accepted the fragment but tried to absorb it, so they put it away again, leaving the test unresolved.

• Senior White’s Clone learned Heavenly Sleeve Cosmos from a booklet and gave it to Song Shuhang, who stored it for later study.
• Senior White’s Clone used Heavenly Sleeve Cosmos to send the Heavenly Court Fragment into Song Shuhang’s Core World while Song Shuhang recorded the spell for True Lord White Crane.

• The Core World’s soil tried to merge with the Heavenly Court Fragment, but Song Shuhang and the Core Assistant stopped it.
• Senior White put the fragment back into his sleeve before the Core World could swallow it, and White Dragon Sister suspected the fragment had lost something.

Song Shuhang met a mysterious Confucian School senior who asked him to test whether the Core World could help transport a Heavenly Court Fragment into the Golden Lotus World. The senior offered a lost Vajra Temple technique in exchange, then began testing his own spell on the fragment.

• Senior White released the Heavenly Court Fragment and led the group into the Golden Lotus World to compare it with the fragment already inside.
• A middle-aged designated driver suddenly appeared behind Song Shuhang, revealed he was originally a Confucian School disciple, and said others would forget his Daoist title.
• The designated driver asked Song Shuhang to move the fragment through the Core World and offered the lost Vajra Divine Punishment Great Hand Seal as payment.
• Song Shuhang accepted the deal after consulting White Dragon Sister, and the senior offered to handle the fragment himself.
• The senior reached toward the fragment and cast Palm-in-Hand Buddhist Kingdom.

Song Shuhang brought the Heavenly Court Fragment into his Core World with the Designated Driver Uncle and began considering ways to strengthen the world’s defenses. He and Su Clan's Sixteen entered the Golden Lotus World to continue the experiment, while the Designated Driver Uncle waited outside with hopes it would succeed.

• The Designated Driver Uncle used Palm-in-Hand Buddhist Kingdom to carry the Heavenly Court Fragment into Song Shuhang’s Core World, where the soil briefly licked it before withdrawing.
• The Designated Driver Uncle warned Song Shuhang not to let strangers into his lifesaving little world, prompting Song Shuhang to plan defenses using the Core Assistant, Heavenly Court fragments, Pavilion Master Chu, and lethal zones.
• Senior White called Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen to the Golden Lotus World, and the Designated Driver Uncle stayed behind to keep a low profile.
• The Designated Driver Uncle gave Song Shuhang an illustrated manual for the Vajra Divine Punishment Great Hand Seal, which Song Shuhang accepted before entering the Golden Lotus World with Sixteen.
• The Designated Driver Uncle waited outside, hoping Song Shuhang’s experiment would let the Confucian School move its Heavenly Court Fragments into the Golden Lotus World and delay the Heavenly Emperor’s reconstruction of the Heavenly Court.

Song Shuhang and the seniors investigated why one Ancient Heavenly Court Fragment could enter the Golden Lotus World while another could not. They discovered that a fragment first stored in Song Shuhang’s Core World lost something that had caused the Golden Lotus World to reject it, and True Lord Eternal Fire proposed further experiments.

• Song Shuhang appraised the pagoda and learned that it was a Withered Thousand-Mile Tower designed by White Dragon Sister, who explained that building one cost at least ten ninth-grade spirit stones in raw materials.
• White Dragon Sister suggested trying the rejected Heavenly Court Fragment again, and Song Shuhang revealed that a mysterious designated driver had placed it in his Core World after their memories of him were affected.
• Senior White moved the fragment out of Song Shuhang’s Core World, and the Golden Lotus World accepted it without rejecting it.
• Senior White and White Dragon Sister concluded that the fragment had lost something while in Song Shuhang’s Core World, and True Lord Eternal Fire asked Song Shuhang to cooperate in further experiments.

Song Shuhang, Senior White's Clone, and their companions helped the Confucian School transfer Ancient Heavenly Court Fragments into the Golden Lotus World, with Song Shuhang's Core World certifying them along the way. After working through the night, Senior White improved Heavenly Sleeve Cosmos and chose a fragment inscribed with the words “Heart Demon Cave.”

• True Lord Eternal Fire accepted the risk that Song Shuhang's Core World might consume something valuable and offered him spirit stones for helping transfer the fragments.

• Senior White chose an Ancient Heavenly Court Fragment inscribed with “Heart Demon Cave.”

Song Shuhang appraised a mysterious Ancient Heavenly Court Fragment called the Heart Demon Cave, suffering intense pain before learning it had been the Heavenly Emperor’s secret heart demon laboratory. He suspected the fragment held more secrets and joked about finding aged heart demons inside, while Pavilion Master Chu’s hair warned that they might eat him instead.

• Song Shuhang asked White Dragon Sister whether she remembered the Heart Demon Cave, but she did not recognize it despite confirming the fragment came from the Ancient Heavenly Court.
• Song Shuhang used the Appraisal Secret Method on the fragment and immediately exploded, then gathered his smoke body and endured the soul-deep pain.

• Song Shuhang suspected the fragment concealed something more and joked that aged heart demons might be delicious, while Pavilion Master Chu’s hair warned that they could eat him.

Song Shuhang and the others entered a Heavenly Court Fragment while Pavilion Master Chu teased him about cooking Chu Two. A Nine Nether demon attacked the Confucian School, and Senior White repeatedly destroyed its spatial passages before the intruder forced his way through.

• Pavilion Master Chu's hair urged Song Shuhang to use Chu Two as a Longevity-level cooking ingredient, but he refused.
• Pavilion Master Chu warned that an uninvited guest had arrived, and True Lord Eternal Fire recognized the intruder's Nine Netherworld aura.
• Senior White used the Space Compression Explosion Secret Art to destroy the demon's first two spatial passages, while Song Shuhang tried his Powerhouse Appraisal Technique on the next one.
• The bear-like intruder adapted to the Confucian School's spatial suppression and forced his head and paw through a Space Gate.
• The intruder revealed that he was immune to Song Shuhang's appraisal technique because he could carry ten babies at once and fight after giving birth.

Song Shuhang and his allies fought a Ninth-Grade Demon Bear who had attacked the Confucian School, while the Confucian disciples scrambled to prepare the Sage’s treasures. The Demon Bear summoned a mysterious ally, and a young woman in a black dress stepped through a Space Gate.

• Song Shuhang used Embryo Gaze on the Demon Bear and took the rainbow flower that sprouted from his head.
• True Lord Eternal Fire identified the Demon Bear as a Ninth-Grade Nine Nether Demon, while the Designated Driver Uncle prepared to defend the Confucian School.
• Senior White wielded the Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword and briefly blocked the Demon Bear’s attacks as True Lord Eternal Fire contacted the Confucian elders for the Sage’s treasures.
• Song Shuhang summoned the Giant Who Destroys All Things, and Pavilion Master Chu pierced the Demon Bear with her hair.
• The Demon Bear sent a signal, opening a Space Gate through which a young woman in a black dress emerged and said she had heard someone wanted to eat her.

Pavilion Master Chu Two arrived at the Confucian School and attacked the Demon Bear, revealing that she had come to investigate its plans involving Song Shuhang and a Heavenly Court Fragment. After explaining her history and connection to Song Shuhang, she faced the Demon Bear as it prepared to summon the Demon God within itself.

• Pavilion Master Chu Two emerged through a Spatial Passage and told the Demon Bear she would keep her promise to twist Song Shuhang's head off.
• Pavilion Master Chu Two struck the Demon Bear without warning, sending it flying and revealing her Longevity-level strength.

• Pavilion Master Chu Two explained that she had followed the Demon Bear after hearing its plans involving the Confucian School, a Heavenly Court Fragment, and Song Shuhang.
• The Demon Bear raised its claws and called forth Moga, preparing to use the Demon God power inside it.

Demon Bear failed to summon Moga’s full power, blamed Song Shuhang, and escaped through a Space Gate before Pavilion Master Chu Two pursued it. Song Shuhang and the others then entered the Heart Demon Cave, where they found nothing of value.

• Demon Bear struggled to summon Moga, whose power had been drained, and accused Song Shuhang of tampering with its body.
• Demon Bear declared that it conceded the first round, opened a Space Gate, and fled to report to its ruler.
• Pavilion Master Chu Two borrowed power from Pavilion Master Chu and followed Demon Bear through a spatial passage.
• Senior White’s Clone said his energy was nearly depleted, and Song Shuhang agreed to handle what came next.
• Song Shuhang and the others entered the Heart Demon Cave, where Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword felt hostility toward Heart Demons and White Dragon Sister found nothing of value.

Song Shuhang and Senior White's Clone searched the Heart Demon Cave for its hidden value, then discovered it could forcibly weaken a cultivator's heart demon. The chapter ended with Gongzi Hai's heart demon being torn apart and reduced to its nascent form.

• Senior White's Clone rejected waiting for Song Shuhang's luck to help them and used Eye Fairy eye drops to activate the Confucian Sage's Eye.
• Song Shuhang scanned the Heart Demon Cave but found no treasure, so White Dragon Sister suggested testing it on a cultivator plagued by a heart demon.
• Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen recalled that Gongzi Hai was available as a test subject, and Song Shuhang brought his unconscious incarnation into the cave.
• Gongzi Hai's incarnation woke in terror as the cave's power drew a black mist, his heart demon, out of him.
• The heart demon was torn in two and reduced to its nascent form, revealing that the cave could weaken heart demons but could not eradicate them.

Song Shuhang and his companions discussed how to give the captured heart demon a physical form so he could prepare it as food, making major progress by adapting the Heart Demon Incarnation method. The discussion ended when Song Shuhang noticed that a second Soft Feather had appeared beside Black-Skinned Soft Feather.

• Song Shuhang asked Senior White and the others how to contain and materialize the heart demon, while Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword joked that it could swallow and expel it.
• Song Shuhang used the Blade-Nourishing Art on Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword to silence its teasing, then listened as White Dragon Sister suggested using the sword's history as a reference.

• Song Shuhang and his companions spent the day discussing the method while True Lord Eternal Fire oversaw the transfer of Heavenly Court Fragments.
• Black-Skinned Soft Feather proposed many new plans that greatly advanced their research, and Song Shuhang noticed another Soft Feather beside her.

The Heavenly Emperor appeared in Soft Feather’s form at the Confucian School and announced that she had come for her Heavenly Court Fragments. As she went to confront the school with reinforcements, an unremarkable man stepped forward to handle what came next.

• The Heavenly Emperor told Song Shuhang that Everything Can Be Sold would not appear again anytime soon, leaving him to suspect the merchant had been captured or sealed.
• The Heavenly Emperor left the Heart Demon Cave to ask the Confucian School for her belongings, while Song Shuhang’s group contacted Senior Eternal Fire and discussed whether to intervene.
• White Dragon Sister said she could only delay the Heavenly Emperor briefly, and Creation Fairy offered no useful backup.
• An unremarkable man emerged from the crowd and told Song Shuhang to leave the next steps to him.

Designated Driver Uncle and Vajra Master joined forces to stop the Heavenly Emperor from recovering the Heavenly Court Fragments, while White Dragon Sister warned Song Shuhang that the Heavenly Emperor might have several powerful Longevity-level allies. As the Heavenly Emperor invited them to attack, Song Shuhang considered using inner demons and his Demonic Sect culinary skills against her.

• Designated Driver Uncle revealed his connection to the Confucian School and summoned Vajra Master as an ally to confront the Heavenly Emperor.
• Pavilion Master Chu confirmed that Vajra Master was not the person she remembered, while Vajra Master said their alliance aimed to stop the Heavenly Emperor from rebuilding the Heavenly Court.

• Song Shuhang’s first attempt to materialize the heart demon failed, but Senior White randomly chose the sixth method, which succeeded.
• Song Shuhang prepared to slice the materialized heart demon and summon Senior Shadow Lord through the little cup.

Song Shuhang pulled a physical Heart Demon from a magical bag, and it transformed into a mermaid with Senior White’s face. Senior White’s Clone sliced it while it changed into familiar faces, and Song Shuhang prepared the Heart Demon as sashimi, leaving the group wary of tasting it.

• Song Shuhang pulled the Heart Demon from the bag, revealing a mermaid that had taken Senior White’s appearance.
• True Lord White Crane asked Song Shuhang to sell him the mermaid, but Senior White’s Clone refused and sent photos of it to Soft Feather.
• Senior White’s Clone cut the mermaid Heart Demon and kept slicing as it transformed into Su Clan’s Sixteen, Soft Feather, and others before becoming an ordinary fish.
• Song Shuhang used Demon Emperor Hezhi’s culinary knowledge and the Demon Sect Chef’s Heart to slice the Heart Demon and prepare a sauce.
• Song Shuhang offered the Heart Demon sashimi, but the others hesitated and stared at the little black cups.

Song Shuhang summoned the Shadow Lord to taste his Heart Demon Sashimi Slices and asked for help dealing with the Heavenly Emperor. The Shadow Lord lent him the Shadow Holy Land, a bracelet that could turn powerful figures’ lingering obsessions into shadows that possessed its wearer.

• Song Shuhang summoned the Shadow Lord to appraise the Heart Demon Sashimi Slices, and the Shadow Lord praised their flavor while explaining they differed from the traditional dish.
• The Shadow Lord explained that authentic Heart Demon Sashimi Slices used heart demon tribulations captured during heavenly tribulations, and warned Song Shuhang not to eat the raw heart demons he had sliced.
• The Shadow Lord agreed to trade for Song Shuhang’s dish despite its not meeting their original agreement, and Senior White continued eating the slices with his clone.
• Song Shuhang asked the Shadow Lord to take on the Heavenly Emperor, but the Shadow Lord refused to fight her while she was recovering.
• The Shadow Lord lent Song Shuhang the Shadow Holy Land bracelet, which could draw on powerful lingering obsessions in the Confucian School and turn them into shadows that possessed its wearer.
