Chapter Summaries

Qin Shaofeng prepared to spend six months hunting Ghost Corpse Slaves by buying food, medicine, and body-tempering supplies. He paid for the costly goods with a Heart Crystal, while Ximen Lingzhong and Luo San watched in disbelief.

• Qin Shaofeng decided to prepare supplies for the next half year and ordered large quantities of food from the nearby restaurants.
• Qin Shaofeng visited pill shops and bought recovery pills, healing pills, antidotes, and other supplies as Ximen Lingzhong and Luo San followed him.
• Ximen Lingzhong suspected Qin Shaofeng had robbed a faction to afford his extravagant purchases, and Luo San could not explain how he had so much money.
• At Misty Cloud Tower, Qin Shaofeng asked the Branch Tower Master for every available top-tier body-tempering item and agreed to pay twelve thousand Heaven Crystals after a discount.
• Qin Shaofeng took out a Heart Crystal to pay, revealing he had three Heart Crystals worth far more than the purchase price.

Qin Shaofeng learned that Soul Crystals and Heart Crystals were precious cultivation resources rather than ordinary currency, and decided to spend his Heart Crystal to help his trusted allies grow stronger. After he revealed it was a reward from Endless Academy, the Branch Tower Master recognized him and let him take the goods on credit.

• The Branch Tower Master explained that Soul Crystals helped Heavenly Position experts cultivate and Heart Crystals were essential to Nihility Realm Great Powers.
• He described the Shining Star Position’s levels and the rarity of Great Powers, while Ximen Lingzhong and Luo San listened outside the Smoke Cloud Tower.
• Ximen Lingzhong realized he had missed the chance to use Soul Crystals to advance his cultivation and blamed his elder brother Ximen Wujin.
• Qin Shaofeng decided that spending the Heart Crystal on resources for Li Naling, Mo Ya, Di Shan, Luo San, Wang Sheng, and his other trusted allies would be worthwhile.
• Qin Shaofeng told the Branch Tower Master that Endless Academy had awarded him the Heart Crystal, and the Branch Tower Master recognized him and offered to let him take the goods before paying later.

Qin Shaofeng completed a major transaction with the Smoke Cloud Tower, exchanging a Heart Crystal and Soul Crystals for supplies and nearly ten thousand Soul Crystals. After Qin Shaofeng left the city for the Ghost Sealing Land, Yun Yi revealed that he had treated him generously to avoid offending someone connected to powerful allies.

• Qin Shaofeng declined the Branch Tower Master's offer to defer payment and asked him to obtain Soul Crystals from the main tower.
• While the Branch Tower Master was away, Qin Shaofeng had Smoke Cloud Tower attendants buy food and other supplies for him.
• Yun Yi arrived with two experts and gave Qin Shaofeng 9,998 Soul Crystals and 10,000 Heaven Crystals, waiving more than two thousand Heaven Crystals in expenses.
• After Qin Shaofeng departed, Yun Yi told the Branch Tower Master that he had chosen to befriend Qin Shaofeng rather than risk offending him, having learned of his standing through Yun Cheng.
• Qin Shaofeng left the city and was carried into the air by a ripple of void aura as he headed toward the Ghost Sealing Land.

Qin Shaofeng and Luo San entered Ghost Sealing Holy City and set out for the Ghost Sealing Land to earn Battle Merit. At the gate, they encountered two unusual travelers who were also heading there.

• The gate guards warned Qin Shaofeng and Luo San that they would need more than a thousand Battle Merit to return, but the pair entered the city anyway.
• Qin Shaofeng saw how many powerful cultivators lived in the city and cautioned Luo San not to comment on the White Stone Tribe and Black Domain Dwarf travelers.
• Qin Shaofeng and Luo San collected their Battle Merit tokens and headed toward the gate to the Ghost Sealing Land.
• The Black Domain Dwarf asked Qin Shaofeng why he was going, and Qin Shaofeng said his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and his faction had sent him to investigate.

Qin Shaofeng and Luo San entered the Ghost Sealing Land with Ximen Lingzhong, who revealed how the Ghost Corpses raised their forces and had Qin Shaofeng kill several weak Royal Bloodline Ghost Corpses. Ximen Lingzhong brought them to a sparsely guarded place and denied that a Ghost Corpse King was there, leaving their destination unclear.

• A Black Domain Dwarf warned Qin Shaofeng to stay near the city gate and gave him a talisman in case he needed rescuing.
• Qin Shaofeng and Luo San wandered through ruined human towns until Ximen Lingzhong emerged from the defensive barrier after his breakthrough.
• Ximen Lingzhong carried Qin Shaofeng and Luo San deep into the Ghost Sealing Land, where he explained that Ghost Corpse Slaves were raised underground until they reached Moon-tier cultivation.
• Ximen Lingzhong restrained two low-level Royal Bloodline Ghost Corpses, and Qin Shaofeng killed them for Martial Body Value.
• Ximen Lingzhong found another weak Royal Bloodline Ghost Corpse for Qin Shaofeng to kill, then brought him to a sparsely guarded area.
• Qin Shaofeng asked whether a Ghost Corpse King was nearby, and Ximen Lingzhong said there was not.

Qin Shaofeng hunted Ghost Corpse Slaves with Luo San to strengthen his Martial Body and raise his cultivation. After reaching Rank 1 Yellow Moon Tier, he realized his next advances would require much more effort and headed deeper into the area.

• After Ximen Lingzhong left to hunt a lone Ghost Corpse King, Qin Shaofeng and Luo San fought the Ghost Corpse Slaves that had charged them.
• Qin Shaofeng killed Yellow Moon Tier Ghost Corpse Slaves while Luo San crippled stronger ones for him to finish off.
• After three days of hunting, Qin Shaofeng advanced his Illusory Star Spirit to Rank 9 and discovered that Martial Body Value had become much harder to obtain.
• Qin Shaofeng killed an Earth Moon Tier Ghost Corpse Slave and learned it yielded only 0.1 Martial Body Value, while weaker slaves gave him none.
• After another half month of hunting, Qin Shaofeng reached Rank 1 Yellow Moon Tier, but found no Heavenly Moon Tier Ghost Corpse Slaves and decided to go deeper with Luo San.

Qin Shaofeng and his companions slaughtered Ghost Corpse Slaves in the Ghost Sealing Land as he advanced his Martial Body and raised his cultivation. After more than two months of fighting, he was exhausted and agreed to leave the densest area to rest for a day.

• Qin Shaofeng advanced his Martial Body to the first-tier Illusory Moon Spirit and sensed a faint connection to the Vast Void Realm.
• Qin Shaofeng learned that cultivation suppression reduced the Star-Moon Value he gained from Heavenly Moon Tier Ghost Corpse Slaves, but he continued fighting with Ke Jiuxiao and Luo San.
• Ke Jiuxiao warned Qin Shaofeng not to summon more allies because experts in the Ghost Sealing Land could detect their strength.
• Qin Shaofeng reached the ninth-tier Yellow Moon Tier and gained one hundred million Star-Moon Value, but his Martial Body Value rose only to 15.8.
• After more than two months without rest, Qin Shaofeng could no longer keep fighting, so he and Ke Jiuxiao decided to leave and rest for a day.

After Qin Shaofeng rested, he and his companions killed two Heavenly Moon Tier Ghost Corpse Slaves, then Li Naling began breaking through to the Great Power realm. Ximen Lingzhong concealed them from the experts of Ghost Sealing Holy City, and Qin Shaofeng ended the chapter by killing a weakened Ghost Corpse King and upgrading his Ghost Mark to Silver Mark.

• Qin Shaofeng slept for two and a half days while Ke Jiuxiao and Luo San captured two Heavenly Moon Tier Ghost Corpse Slaves, which Qin Shaofeng killed after waking.
• Li Naling told Qin Shaofeng she was about to break through, and Ke Jiuxiao and the Heavenly Void Worm King confirmed the area was safe before Qin Shaofeng opened the fan residence.
• Li Naling began absorbing spiritual energy as she broke through, drawing the attention of Void Realm experts in Ghost Sealing Holy City.
• Ximen Lingzhong moved Qin Shaofeng and the others out to sea and explained that he had captured a Ghost Corpse King two days earlier.
• Qin Shaofeng killed the nearly defeated Ghost Corpse King and upgraded his Ghost Mark to Silver Mark.

Qin Shaofeng’s Ghost Mark and Space Heavenly Diagram advanced, and Ximen Lingzhong agreed to visit the Heavenly Machine Tower over the danger facing Ximen Bingning before departing. His departure left Qin Shaofeng and the others falling toward a swarm of starfish beasts, but Li Naling’s newly awakened Void Power struck back.

• Qin Shaofeng’s system interface reported that his Illusory Moon Spirit had reached Tier 6 and his Space Heavenly Diagram had reached Level 3.
• Qin Shaofeng sensed the Ghost Mark’s new power and demonstrated his greatly improved spatial control to Ximen Lingzhong.
• After hearing about Shen Wang and Ximen Bingning’s situation, Ximen Lingzhong agreed to visit the Heavenly Machine Tower but left Qin Shaofeng to rescue Bingning himself.
• Ximen Lingzhong vanished just after Li Naling broke through, causing Qin Shaofeng and the others to fall toward the sea as starfish beasts rose to attack.
• Ke Jiuxiao pulled Qin Shaofeng upward, and Li Naling crushed several dozen pursuing starfish beasts with Void Power.

After Li Naling demonstrated her new ability to manipulate Void Power, she returned Qin Shaofeng and the others to the continent. Qin Shaofeng and Luo San traveled along the coast, where they discovered a vast swarm of Ghost Corpse Slaves surrounding trapped fighters, and Qin Shaofeng considered intervening.

• Li Naling sensed a Void Realm starfish beast approaching and brought Qin Shaofeng, Ke Jiuxiao, and Luo San back to the continent.
• Qin Shaofeng sent Li Naling and Ke Jiuxiao into the fan mansion, then told Luo San to call him Young Master.
• Qin Shaofeng and Luo San followed the coastline toward Ghost Sealing Holy City, but the Ghost Corpse Slaves grew increasingly numerous.
• Luo San reported that a dozen humans and members of other races were trapped among powerful Ghost Corpses and Ghost Corpse Kings.
• Qin Shaofeng asked whether the enemies could break through his defenses and considered rescuing the trapped group, alarming Luo San.

Qin Shaofeng decided to rescue a group of Vast Void Hall fighters trapped by Cangming Palace and millions of Ghost Corpse Slaves, hoping to gain Vast Void Hall’s friendship. He and Luo San charged into the horde, with Qin Shaofeng carrying poison pills supplied by Li Naling.

• Qin Shaofeng argued that they should investigate the battle because the Ghost Corpse Slaves were attacking humans and other races, and Luo San used his divine sense to scout the battlefield.
• Luo San discovered that more than a dozen people from Vast Void Hall were surrounded by millions of Ghost Corpse Slaves, while Old Woman Ji told them that only two experts had arrived.
• Luo San warned Qin Shaofeng that rescuing Vast Void Hall could anger Cangming Palace, and explained that Vast Void Hall’s past principles might make it a valuable ally.
• Qin Shaofeng decided to help Vast Void Hall and asked Li Naling to send ten poison pills capable of killing Shining Star Position ghost corpses.
• Luo San led the charge through the Ghost Corpse Slave horde while Qin Shaofeng followed with the Ghost Melody battle saber and began earning Star-Moon Value by killing Ghost Corpse Slaves.

Qin Shaofeng and Luo San charged through the Ghost Corpse forces to rescue Old Woman Ji and the people from Vast Void Hall. Qin Shaofeng destroyed four Shining Star Position enemies and hundreds of Ghost Corpse Slaves with a poison pill, leaving the two groups racing to reunite.

• Qin Shaofeng and Luo San charged toward the besieged Vast Void Hall group, prompting Old Woman Ji and the others to fight their way toward them.
• A Ghost Corpse and three Shining Star Position Ghost Corpse Slaves blocked Qin Shaofeng and Luo San’s path.
• Qin Shaofeng threw a poison pill that exploded and melted the four enemies and hundreds of Ghost Corpse Slaves into black pools.
• Old Woman Ji urged her group to hurry toward Qin Shaofeng, believing his Protective Treasure offered them hope.
• The little girl on Old Woman Ji’s back raised her head and calmly agreed that they might survive.

Qin Shaofeng and Luo San rushed to help the besieged people of Vast Void Hall, but the Ghost Corpse commander ordered its forces to surround them as well. Qin Shaofeng discovered that the trapped group included bizarre foreign races and powerful figures, then learned they lacked fighting strength and that Old Woman Ji expected him to provide more of his protective treasures.

• Qin Shaofeng and Luo San charged toward the Vast Void Hall group, prompting the Ghost Corpse commander to order its forces to kill them too.
• Qin Shaofeng examined the strange foreign races fighting among the besieged, including a headless being resembling the Primordial Giant Beast Xing Tian.
• Qin Shaofeng sensed that Old Woman Ji and the little girl she carried shared one Void Realm cultivation aura and seemed more powerful than Ximen Lingzhong.
• Qin Shaofeng asked why the powerful group had become trapped, and Old Woman Ji explained that they had little fighting strength left.
• Old Woman Ji asked Qin Shaofeng for more protective treasures, then suggested he might have a hundred of them.

Qin Shaofeng helped Old Woman Ji’s group reinforce their defenses against the Ghost Corpse Slaves, while trying to learn why the Vast Void Hall team had been trapped. After the little girl exposed his unusual strength, she offered to travel with him, leaving Qin Shaofeng alarmed by the prospect of getting entangled with her secrets.

• Qin Shaofeng asked Old Woman Ji why her group could not leave, but she only asked him to help hold back the Ghost Corpse Slaves for another hour.
• Old Woman Ji ordered the exhausted Ji San, Bug, and Lizard to rest while the others tightened their defensive perimeter and continued fighting outward.
• Qin Shaofeng observed that most of the defenders were Heavenly Tier experts and wondered how ordinary Ghost Corpse Slaves had trapped them.
• The little girl pointed out that Qin Shaofeng’s Yellow Moon Tier ninth-stage cultivation did not match his greater combat strength.
• Qin Shaofeng called the little girl “little sister,” prompting her to reveal she had been taking advantage of him for the first time in a hundred years.
• The little girl offered to accompany Qin Shaofeng on his travels, and he feared that accepting would draw him into danger.

Qin Shaofeng watched the Vast Void Hall fighters struggle against the Ghost Corpse Slaves while the little girl and Old Woman Ji made plans to escape. When a powerful Void Realm expert approached, Old Woman Ji sent the girl to Qin Shaofeng and confronted the pursuer, leaving the group to scatter.

• The little girl decided to travel with Qin Shaofeng to avoid her elder brother and Cangming Palace's assassins, and told Old Woman Ji to let only Bug accompany them.
• Qin Shaofeng watched the Vast Void Hall experts and Luo San fight as their strength dwindled, then sensed a terrifying aura approaching.
• The little girl recognized the danger, and Old Woman Ji declared that she would act to preserve the chance to reach the Inheritance Land.
• Old Woman Ji transformed into a rabbit woman, formed a pink pill from her aura, and sent the little girl into Qin Shaofeng's arms while asking him to take her away.
• Old Woman Ji flew to confront the approaching Void Realm expert, while Bug announced that the girl's inheritance had been disrupted and the others fled in every direction.

Qin Shaofeng and Luo San fled the Ghost Corpse Slaves after Butterfly revealed her power and held back their pursuers. Ya'er warned that killing more slaves would expose her concealment to the Heavenly Machine Tower, then hinted that she could protect Qin Shaofeng once she returned to Vast Void Hall.

• Qin Shaofeng recognized the rogue cultivators among the group as Heavenly Rankings experts, while Butterfly suppressed the Ghost Corpse Slaves and urged him to escape with Ya'er.
• Butterfly transformed into a butterfly and landed on Ya'er's shoulder, revealing that she was second on the Heavenly Rankings and that Rabbit was first.
• Qin Shaofeng fled with Ya'er, but used a poison pellet against the pursuing Ghost Corpse Slaves until Ya'er warned that he could not kill any more.
• Ya'er revealed that further deaths would expose her Shield Heavenly Secrets to the Heavenly Machine Tower and put everyone in danger.
• Ya'er gave Qin Shaofeng her name and claimed she could protect him from the Cangming Great Emperor after returning to Vast Void Hall in ten years.

Qin Shaofeng learned that Ya'er knew the truth about his Void Race cultivation and offered to teach him its orthodox technique, while hinting that his origins could put him in danger. He decided to exploit her lack of combat power, then used a poison pill to halt the pursuing Ghost Corpse Slaves without harming the Shining Star Position beings.

• Qin Shaofeng killed a crippled Ghost Corpse Slave, gained enough Star-Moon Value to break through to the first level of the Mysterious Moon Tier, and concealed his breakthrough aura.
• Ya'er identified Qin Shaofeng's system-based cultivation as the Void Race Holy Spirit and explained that the Void Race Patriarch had created the illusory Vast Void Realm.
• Ya'er offered Qin Shaofeng the Void Race's inherited cultivation technique and warned that revealing his identity could draw the attention of the Cangming Realm's experts.
• Qin Shaofeng asked Ya'er to hand over the technique, then realized her lack of combat power gave him an opportunity to take control.
• Qin Shaofeng threw a poison pill at the pursuing Ghost Corpse Slaves, halting their advance and blasting through over a hundred without harming the Shining Star Position beings.

Qin Shaofeng spanked Ya'er while protecting her from Ghost Corpse Slaves, then pressured her into sharing the Tian Xu Cultivation Method. After receiving its first three levels, his martial body evolved, and he sensed an illusory space he might one day travel through.

• Ya'er warned Qin Shaofeng about the Ghost Corpse Slave siege, but he blocked a Heavenly Moon Tier Ghost Corpse Slave with his back and spanked her for threatening him.
• Ya'er revealed that she was the reincarnation of the daughter of the Great Emperor of Vast Void, stunning Luo San as he led the way.
• Ya'er said the complete Tian Xu Cultivation Method was hidden in Vast Void Hall and promised to give it to Qin Shaofeng after reclaiming her cultivation and the position of hall master.
• Qin Shaofeng pressured Ya'er into sharing what she knew, and she transmitted the first three levels of the Tian Xu Cultivation Method to him.
• Qin Shaofeng's martial body evolved to sixth-rank Tian Xu Moon Spirit, his Talent Skill became Tian Xu True Spirit, and he sensed a mysterious illusory space.

Qin Shaofeng learned that Ya’er could guide his cultivation and give him a Fusion Method, though their alliance remained one of mutual benefit. He resumed fighting through the seemingly endless Ghost Corpse Slaves, and Ya’er told him the Vast Void Hall would release the Night Assassin from its service.

• Ya’er explained that Qin Shaofeng could gain Nihility Ability by combining the Chaos Inheritance with her Fusion Method, then passed the method to him through a golden light.
• Qin Shaofeng accepted Ya’er’s help as part of their mutual arrangement, and she promised to devise a method for finding inheritances once they settled down.
• Ya’er urged Qin Shaofeng to kill the Ghost Corpse Slaves, and he drew his Ghost Melody battle saber and resumed fighting despite his Radiant God's Garment being depleted.
• After two hours of fighting, Qin Shaofeng found that the Ghost Corpse Slaves still stretched beyond sight and asked Ya’er how large the encirclement was.
• Ya’er told Qin Shaofeng to stop suppressing his cultivation and said the Vast Void Hall would not force the Night Assassin to serve it now that he had a new master.

Ya'er exposed Luo San's identity and gave Qin Shaofeng a portion of her Nihility Origin so he could help them escape the approaching Ghost Corpse. She explained that her inheritance was incomplete and that they would be in grave danger if they did not flee quickly.

• Ya'er told Qin Shaofeng to tell Luo San to stop holding back, and Luo San unleashed Dark Night Phantom to cut through the Ghost Corpse Slaves.
• Ya'er identified Luo San as a former member of the Dark Night Assassination Group, while Qin Shaofeng warned her that Luo San's identity was no longer her concern.
• Qin Shaofeng chased after Luo San and leveled up to Second Grade Mysterious Moon Tier, but Ya'er saw that they were still falling behind.
• Ya'er put her pink pellet into Qin Shaofeng's mouth, and it transformed into a cloud in his dantian that gave him a fragment of Nihility Realm power and knowledge of how to use it.
• Ya'er explained that the rabbit had failed, the Ghost Corpse was approaching to seek her aura, and her interrupted inheritance would have taken at least ten years to absorb.
