Chapter Summaries

Qin Shaofeng’s group watched the Honored Immortal Hall intruders die after they mistook a deadly restriction for an illusion and killing formation. He gathered the survivors and had Qi Xian activate the nine Illusion-Breaking Grand Formations, revealing that their surroundings were not a canyon.

• The intruders attacked what they believed were killing formations, but the restriction’s razor-sharp grass and other dangers killed more than a dozen of them.
• The Honored Immortal Hall man urged the others to press on, then died after taking seven steps through the restriction.
• Qin Shaofeng received rewards for the deaths and leveled up to Earth Moon Tier without the others noticing.
• Qin Shaofeng welcomed Yun Tianxing, Qi Jin, and the other survivors into his group and ordered Qi Xian to dispel the illusions.
• Qi Xian activated the Defense Formation and nine Illusion-Breaking Grand Formations, and the group realized they were not standing in a canyon.

Qin Shaofeng studied the deadly mountain and decided that only a small group would climb it, while the others waited behind. He let Yun Tianxing choose whether to risk the ascent, and Qi Mu agreed to leave the selection of Honored Immortal Hall members to Qin Shaofeng.

• White Wolf, Yun Tianxing, and Xiaoyao Zui saw the mountain’s deadly creatures, while White Wolf, Qi Xian, and Star Lord Luo collapsed from fear.
• Star Lord Luo sprang up and pledged that the Heavenly Machine Tower would follow Qin Shaofeng’s orders.
• Qin Shaofeng warned Yun Tianxing, White Wolf, and Xiaoyao Zui that he would not save them if they climbed; White Wolf and Xiaoyao Zui chose to stay, and Qin Shaofeng asked them to help watch those left behind.
• Qin Shaofeng said only a few people would climb and asked Qi Mu and Star Lord Luo to choose who would join them from their groups.
• Qi Mu said he was willing to wait and reminded Qin Shaofeng that his father had urged him to obtain the inheritance.

Qin Shaofeng assembled a group to climb the mountain, equipping them for the dangerous journey. The first swarm attacked as soon as they stepped onto the mountain, and Qin Shaofeng realized they had entered a Nihility Domain; Lu Yao was ordered back after being sent to fight the insects.

• Star Lord Luo chose to accompany Qin Shaofeng and bring Lu Yao, while Qi Mu selected Qi Zhen, Qi Huang, and himself; Qin Shaofeng added Qi Xian to the group.
• The group prepared supplies and armor, then Qin Shaofeng led them up the mountain with Qi Xian protected in the middle and Lu Yao at the front.
• Two insects tore flesh from Lu Yao's face, and his scream drew a swarm of powerful insects and other entities toward the group.
• Qin Shaofeng identified the mountain as a Nihility Domain and watched Lu Yao fight the swarm while Star Lord Luo reported that even the grass could be more dangerous than it appeared.
• Qin Shaofeng told Star Lord Luo to call Lu Yao back so they could use him to scout farther ahead.

Qin Shaofeng led his group up the mountain, using Attack and Defense Talismans to get past swarms of powerful insects while accumulating Star-Moon Value. At the mountainside, the group encountered a far more complex restriction, and Qin Shaofeng’s examination of it left him increasingly grim.

• Qin Shaofeng used a Void Attack Talisman to kill over two thousand insects and let Lu Yao return to the group, then gave him a pill.
• Qin Shaofeng ordered Qi Zhen and Qi Huang to draw the insects’ attention with Defense Talismans, then killed the gathered swarm with another Attack Talisman.
• Qin Shaofeng led the group farther up the mountain, while those who had stayed behind watched and wondered whether they had missed a chance at a fortuitous opportunity.
• Qin Shaofeng’s group reached the mountainside and entered a restriction, prompting Qi Xian to ask whether they could help.
• Qin Shaofeng examined the restriction with a soul crystal and talismans, then realized it was at least ten times more complex than the restrictions they had encountered before.

Qin Shaofeng struggled to understand a deadly restriction that combined several restrictions, while Star Lord Luo's Heavenly Machine Technique revealed that the few possible ways through were also the most dangerous. After Lu Yao grabbed a tile at Qin's direction, he vanished, and the tile returned to its place.

• Yun Tianxing asked Qin Shaofeng about the restriction, but Qi Xian warned him not to disturb Qin while he studied it.
• Qin Shaofeng asked Star Lord Luo to use the Heavenly Machine Technique to assess three possible locations, and Star Lord Luo found them more dangerous than the surrounding area.
• Unable to find another way through, Qin Shaofeng placed three Defense Void Talismans on Lu Yao and directed Star Lord Luo to send him to remove a tile.
• Lu Yao crossed the dangerous ground as lightning rapidly consumed his talismans, then grabbed the tile and began to disappear.
• Lu Yao vanished completely, and the tile returned to its original position.

Qin Shaofeng discovered and removed the hidden object sustaining the mountain’s restrictions, then rushed through the formations toward the summit. He reached a group of Ego Phantoms, whose strength changed to match his after he suppressed his Nihility Realm cultivation.

• Qin Shaofeng used a Heart Crystal, Soul Crystal, and Clarity Talisman to reveal that a strand hidden in the air sustained the restriction.
• Qin Shaofeng used Nihility Power to seize the strand and stored it in Heavenly Dragon City, breaking the restriction.
• Qin Shaofeng told Star Lord Luo, Yun Tianxing, and the others to follow, then raced ahead and broke the remaining restrictions.
• Qin Shaofeng reached more than a hundred Ego Phantoms, whose auras surged when they saw him.
• Qin Shaofeng suppressed his Nihility Realm cultivation, and the Ego Phantoms weakened to match his current state.

Qin Shaofeng’s group caught up with him as he faced a horde of Ego Phantoms, so he ordered Qi Xian to build a chain of defensive and attack formations toward the mountaintop. After the formations repelled the phantoms, Star Lord Luo carried the exhausted Qin Shaofeng to the next defensive formation.

• Qin Shaofeng warned Qi Mu and the others to keep their distance, handed Qi Xian his Space Ring, and ordered him to set up successive Defense and Attack Formations toward the mountaintop.
• Qi Xian quickly built the first formations while Qin Shaofeng checked his remaining talismans and system status, then lamented that killing the phantoms did not increase his cultivation.
• The Ego Phantoms charged the group, and Yun Tianxing saw copies with his own cultivation and ultimate techniques attacking the formations.
• Qi Xian activated the next grand formation, blasting the phantoms away, and Star Lord Luo carried the limp Qin Shaofeng toward the next Defense Formation.
• Star Lord Luo realized Qin Shaofeng had used Nihility Power to overcome the previous obstacle, and Qin Shaofeng confirmed it.

Qin Shaofeng recovered somewhat after Star Lord Luo gave him a Heavenly Machine Pill, then confronted Yun Tianxing for relying on the group without contributing. The group turned against Yun Tianxing’s attempt to challenge Qin Shaofeng, and Qin Shaofeng demanded that he surrender his useful talismans and supplies.

• Star Lord Luo gave Qin Shaofeng a Heavenly Machine Pill and explained that it could speed his recovery but could not reverse wounds caused by Nihility Power.
• Qin Shaofeng reminded Yun Tianxing that everyone had agreed to handle their own affairs and accused him of relying on the group while hoping to profit from the inheritance.
• Star Lord Luo called out Yun Tianxing, and Qi Mu warned him to obey Qin Shaofeng or leave the mountain alone.
• Qi Zhen and Qi Huang moved to back Qi Mu, while Qi Xian continued setting up the Defense Formation.
• Qin Shaofeng demanded Yun Tianxing hand over his offensive and defensive talismans and anything else useful or dangerous, and Star Lord Luo told him he would have to face future dangers himself.

Yun Tianxing agreed to hand over his treasures after Star Lord Luo pointed out how much Qin Shaofeng had spent and laid out the order for claiming any inheritance. After three days of slow progress, the group had only three Defense Formations left and faced the possibility that the land ahead was not the Inheritance Land.

• Star Lord Luo reminded Yun Tianxing that Qin Shaofeng had used many talismans and formations, and Qi Mu warned Yun Tianxing to behave properly.
• Yun Tianxing agreed to hand over his treasures but demanded a chance at any inheritance, and Star Lord Luo placed him last in the group's order.
• Qin Shaofeng approved the arrangement, and the group continued forward as Qi Xian deployed formations for three days.
• With only three Defense Formations remaining and ten thousand meters still to go, Qin Shaofeng questioned whether advancing was too dangerous.
• Star Lord Luo warned Yun Tianxing that the phantoms might pursue them even if they turned back, leaving the group anxious about what lay ahead.

Qin Shaofeng led the group through a dangerous stretch to the mountaintop, where they encountered the being calling itself the Chaos King. The Chaos King acknowledged their quest for its inheritance and invited them to face its final trial.

• Qin Shaofeng urged the group to decide whether to continue, and Yun Tianxing agreed to follow after the others chose to proceed.
• Qin Shaofeng equipped his companions with Defense Talismans and ordered Qi Xian to use an attack formation to kill the phantoms.
• Star Lord Luo carried Qin Shaofeng as the group charged across the dangerous distance, with Yun Tianxing following behind.
• The group reached the mountaintop, and Qi Xian began setting up a Defense Formation.
• The Chaos King appeared as a pair of dark green pupils, identified itself, and invited the humans to pass its final trial for a chance to obtain its inheritance.

Qin Shaofeng learned that the final trial required the contenders to defeat their own phantoms, and he used a loophole to begin without recovering or using his weapons. Chaos King opened the competition for its inheritance, and Yun Tianxing rushed into battle first while Star Lord Luo watched from the formation.

• Chaos King announced that the final trial involved defeating ninety-nine ego phantoms, one at a time and without the contenders' weapons.
• Qin Shaofeng pointed out that the rules did not require him to fight in any particular condition, and Chaos King allowed him to proceed as he was.
• Chaos King explained that the phantoms could revive and would become part of the inheritance for whoever obtained it.
• Yun Tianxing rushed out to compete after Chaos King offered different rewards to the first three contenders.
• Star Lord Luo mocked Yun Tianxing for breaking his agreement and watched as he charged the first phantom with his sword.
• Qi Mu and Qi Xian left the formation while Star Lord Luo chose to observe the phantoms before fighting again.

Qin Shaofeng began the phantom challenge while still badly injured and discovered that the phantoms copied his current weakened condition. He defeated the first two with ease, then fought the third using his Carefree Finger as Yun Tianxing, Qi Mu, and Qi Xian battled their own opponents.

• Yun Tianxing, Qi Mu, and Qi Xian each began fighting a phantom while Qin Shaofeng waited for his turn.
• Qin Shaofeng bowed to the first phantom, then struck it down before it could attack, shocking Star Lord Luo and the others watching.

• Qin Shaofeng realized the phantom was adapting to his weakened state and welcomed the chance to fight it using basic techniques.

Qin Shaofeng advanced through the phantom battles with ease while Yun Tianxing struggled and misread the others’ progress. As Qin Shaofeng reached his final fight, the Chaos King warned him to restore his physical condition or he would not pass.

• Qin Shaofeng asked Chaos to remove a phantom’s longsword, then defeated the faster opponent by finding its flaw and smashing its attacking hand.
• Qi Mu and Qi Xian continued fighting and won successive matches while Yun Tianxing finally defeated his opponent after more than half an hour and received a short rest.
• Yun Tianxing fought a second battle for an hour and a half, then wondered why the others seemed exhausted as well; Qin Shaofeng had already defeated ninety-seven phantoms.
• Qi Xian’s battle experience improved rapidly, and he won thirty-eight matches, surpassing Qi Mu’s progress.
• As Qin Shaofeng approached his final battle, the Chaos King told him to take a pill to restore his physical condition or he would not pass.

Qin Shaofeng began fighting a phantom in the Nihility World after receiving the Hall-Guarding Heavenly Infant Pill from Qi Huanshang. He revealed his Ninth-tier Earth Moon Tier cultivation and formidable battle power, while Qi Xian warned Yun Tianxing to abandon his hostile thoughts about him.

• Qin Shaofeng took out the Heavenly Infant Pill that Qi Huanshang had given him, shocking Yun Tianxing and Star Lord Luo.

• Qi Xian warned Yun Tianxing to abandon his hostile thoughts about Qin Shaofeng, or things would end badly for everyone.

Qin Shaofeng fought the Ego Phantom in a dangerous exchange of blows before using Ghost Slash to destroy it. Afterward, he questioned the Chaos King about the difference between the phantom and a true ego.

• Yun Tianxing stopped interfering with Qin Shaofeng after Star Lord Luo warned that powerful figures were shielding Qin's secrets.
• Qin Shaofeng and the Ego Phantom exchanged dangerous close-range attacks while the spectators watched.

• Qin Shaofeng's slash shattered the phantom's saber and body, leaving him collapsed from exhaustion.
• Qin Shaofeng told the Chaos King that a true ego he had once fought possessed thoughts and wisdom, unlike the phantom.

Qin Shaofeng learned that the Chaos King had chosen him as his inheritor and used the last of his projection’s power to protect him from Memory Soul Possession. The Chaos King passed his power and inheritance opportunities to Qin Shaofeng before disappearing, leaving him to seek Nine Leaves One Flower and complete his path of Nihility.

• The Chaos King was shocked to learn that Qin Shaofeng had encountered the true self, and Qin Shaofeng described Nine Leaves One Flower and the seven Ghost Corpse Kings guarding it.
• The Chaos King summoned Qin Shaofeng and detected that someone had tried to possess him through his memories.
• The Chaos King used his projection’s remaining power to erase the Memory Soul Possession and passed that power into Qin Shaofeng, causing him to lose consciousness.

• Yun Tianxing called Qi Xian a useless fighter, then realized he had publicly insulted the favored son of the Honored Immortal Hall.

Qin Shaofeng refused to share Chaos's inheritance with Yun Tianxing, but promised records to Qi Mu, Qi Xian, and Star Lord Luo. After leaving the vanished Mountain of Nihility, Qin Shaofeng led the group back while Yun Tianxing remained furious and isolated.

• Qin Shaofeng said Chaos had given him only one inheritance and claimed he could not pass it on, then rejected Yun Tianxing's demand that he write down what he learned.
• Qin Shaofeng promised records to Qi Mu, Qi Xian, and Star Lord Luo, while telling Yun Tianxing he was not qualified to receive any.

• Qin Shaofeng led everyone back, and the scenes of nihility dissipated as they passed through each area.

• Qi Mu arranged for the others to return to the warship, where Fatty Ge hurried over to greet them and Qi Xian caught him as he nearly fell.
