Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingxuan defeated the Azure Devil attackers and escorted the wounded cultivators, including Ye Yuhong and Ye Qingshuang, back to the Mysterious Mall. There, Ye Qingshuang awakened with a mysterious Slaughter Power, while Ye Qingxuan remained unable to help Ye Yuhong recover his depleted Life Span Origin.

Several months after a devastating battle, Ye Yuhong met Ye Qingxuan, the Mysterious Mall City Lord, to announce that the Ye Family would leave Xuanmu Realm and thank him for his support.

Ye Qingxuan waited until he had gathered nearly ten thousand Azure Devil Race corpses, then sent them back toward Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land to prepare for his breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Before leaving the Mysterious Mall, he encountered Luo Tian again and learned how the young cultivator had reached the Purple Mansion Realm Mid Stage in fewer than a hundred years.

• Ye Qingxuan spent three years expanding the Mysterious Mall's stockpile of Azure Devil Race corpses while waiting to make a safe breakthrough.

• Ye Qingxuan recognized that Luo Tian had reached the Purple Mansion Realm Mid Stage with an unusually pure aura.
• Luo Tian explained that pills he found in a Secret Realm, combined with his Bronze Fragment, had helped him advance rapidly.

Luo Tian sought cultivation pills from Ye Qingxuan but could not afford them, so Ye Qingxuan offered him a large loan secured by his service. Luo Tian eagerly signed a contract and swore a Dao Oath without realizing that the interest could bind him to Ye Qingxuan for 61,000 years.

After sacrificing Azure Devil Race corpses, Ye Qingxuan reached Nascent Soul Realm Peak and prepared to advance Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land while breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. His breakthrough began transforming his Immortal Soul, Nascent Soul, and body as the story left him devouring spirit stones and gathering power.

• Ye Qingxuan sacrificed four Nascent Soul Realm Peak and one Nascent Soul Mid Stage Azure Devil Race corpses, absorbing World Origin until he reached Nascent Soul Realm Peak.

• Ye Qingxuan's transforming body drew in energy, rapidly consuming the top-grade spirit stones piled around him.

During twenty years of closed-door cultivation, Ye Qingxuan broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, mastered Profound Meaning Rules and Divine Ability Prototypes, and advanced his cultivation arts while Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land grew to Tier 4. The chapter left him with a Wood Spirit Root and a High-grade Spirit Treasure World Map, though the breakthrough’s origin feedback did not raise his cultivation to the Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage.

• In the fifth year of cultivation, Ye Qingxuan broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm and mastered eleven First Layer Realm Profound Meaning Rules.
• Ye Qingxuan raised all seven of his Divine Ability Seeds to Divine Ability Prototypes while Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advanced toward Tier 4.
• Ye Qingxuan improved his Four Arts of Cultivation to Tier 6 Late Stage and upgraded the cave heaven’s formations to Tier 6 High-grade.
• After ten years of advancement, Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land reached Tier 4 and fed its origin back to Ye Qingxuan, but his cultivation only took a small step within the Early Spirit Transmutation Realm.
• The advancement condensed Ye Qingxuan’s Wood Spirit Root and transformed his Natal Magic Treasure World Map into a High-grade Spirit Treasure, bringing his cultivation speed in line with Five Element Spirit Root Talent.

A year after reaching Tier 4, Ye Qingxuan assessed the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land's growth limits and concluded that cultivating every Spirit Plant to a high tier would waste resources needed for its advancement and his own cultivation. He focused instead on comprehending the Cave Heaven Blessed Land and perfecting his Earth Immortal Art, preparing to raise his Earth Immortal Body to fourth tier.

• Ye Qingxuan observed that the Tier 4 Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land continued expanding after its origin was exhausted, though future rank advancements would bring smaller bursts of growth.
• Ye Qingxuan determined that the Fourth-grade Early Stage Cave Heaven Blessed Land could raise only about five thousand Spirit Plants to Low-grade Tier Six, even with Sixth-tier Formations.
• Ye Qingxuan considered the difficulty and energy demands of transforming Tier Six Spirit Plants into Tier 7, and rejected abandoning other plants to cultivate only Seventh-tier Spiritual Plants.
• Ye Qingxuan prioritized the Cave Heaven Blessed Land's advancement and his own cultivation over maximizing resources or growing more Seventh-tier Spiritual Plants.
• Ye Qingxuan began comprehending the Fourth-grade Cave Heaven Blessed Land, perfecting his Earth Immortal Art, and preparing to raise his Earth Immortal Body to the fourth tier.

• Ye Qingxuan raised his Earth Immortal Body to the fourth grade and estimated that his Fifth Element Spirit Root would take about eight hundred years to condense.
• Ye Qingxuan condensed two clones, named them Nanxuan and Xixuan, and gained four Ordinary Clones capable of reaching fifty percent of his cultivation.

• The Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land finished most of its expansion, growing to a radius of over six thousand li as its Companion Spirit Pearls circulated through the small worlds.
• Xiao Kong and Xiao Ling became Sixth-grade Spirit Beasts, while Azure Dragon reached Fifth-grade Early Stage and his bloodline rose to tier 8.
• Ye Qingxuan noted that he had two additional clones and one additional Realm Gate, and began considering where to place them.

After leaving twenty years of closed-door cultivation, Ye Qingxuan decided to send his new clones to the Xuanmu Realm to hunt the Azure Devil Race and help the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advance. He learned Ye Yuhong had sought him over the Ye Family’s overdue Blessed Land share and secured a Tier 5 Spirit Vein Source from Bai Zichun, promising to repay him.

• Ye Qingxuan emerged from cultivation and decided to send his new clones into the Xuanmu Realm to hunt Azure Devil Race members.
• Ye Zhaoheng told Ye Qingxuan that Patriarch Ye Yuhong had visited while he was in seclusion.
• Ye Qingxuan contacted Ye Yuhong and asked Bai Zichun to help him obtain a Tier 5 Spirit Vein Source on credit.
• Bai Zichun brought Ye Qingxuan a Tier 5 Spirit Vein Source from his personal stockpile and told him to repay its cost with future sales of Spirit Purifying Trees.
• Ye Qingxuan promised to repay Bai Zichun and said he would let him witness the Blessed Cultivation Path flourish.

Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Yuhong a vast cache of resources to strengthen the Ye Family and prepared to keep their dealings private. Ye Yuhong departed after entrusting future Blessed Land arrangements to the next Patriarch, leaving Ye Qingxuan alone in the stone pavilion.

• Ye Yuhong arrived at Qingxuan Blessed Land, and Ye Qingxuan pretended not to know about his injury in the Xuanmu Realm.

• Ye Yuhong told Ye Qingxuan that he had kept their relationship secret and that the next Ye Family Patriarch would bring the Patriarch Token to collect future Blessed Land revenue.
• Ye Qingxuan bowed to Ye Yuhong as a Ye Family Disciple, and Ye Yuhong departed after telling him to take care of himself.

After preparing his forces and defenses, Ye Qingxuan learned that Ye Yuhong and Ye Zhaoyang had both fallen, and he settled his thoughts through cultivation and contemplation. Twenty years after reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm, he remained steadfast in his quiet routine.

• Ye Qingxuan forged and upgraded Boundary Suppressing Pagodas, equipped his clones, raised Clone Explorer and Mysterious Merchant to Nascent Soul Realm Peak, and created six High-grade Tier 6 Combat Puppets for his cities and cave heaven.
• Five years after parting with Ye Yuhong, Ye Qingxuan sensed that Ye Yuhong’s Sound Transmission Talisman had gone dim and poured out a cup of tea to bid farewell to the fallen patriarch.
• Several days later, Ye Qingxuan discovered that Ye Zhaoyang’s Sound Transmission Talisman had also dimmed and suspected that the newly ascended Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator had fallen on Xuanmu Realm’s battlefield.
• Ye Qingxuan accepted that he had repaid his debt to Ye Zhaoyang and sought calm by drinking tea and contemplating the Profound Meaning Rules.
• Ye Qingxuan continued his steady routine of cultivation and contemplation, and twenty years passed since his breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Over twenty years, Ye Qingxuan’s clones hunted Azure Devil Race cultivators across the war-torn Xuanmu Realm while he reflected on how experiencing the Outside World shaped his Spiritual Realm. Their hunts greatly accelerated Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s growth, though his Fifth Element Spirit Root still needed roughly six hundred eighty more years to condense.

• Ye Qingxuan sent his Explorer, Nanxuan, and Xixuan clones across the Xuanmu Realm with Boundary Suppressing Pagodas to hunt Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race members, while the Mysterious Merchant guarded the Mysterious Mall.

• Ye Qingxuan used the Azure Devil Race corpses gathered by his clones and the Mysterious Mall to cultivate Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, advancing it to Mid Fourth-grade.
• Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s growth shortened Ye Qingxuan’s estimate for condensing his Fifth Element Spirit Root by about a hundred years, leaving roughly six hundred eighty years to go.

Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing escaped the Xuanmu Realm Core Region after Azure Devil Race members nearly killed them, but the lingering devil qi left Ye Qingxiao near death. Yu Xueqing brought him to Ye Qingxuan, who purged the devil qi and began healing him.

• Ye Qingxiao refused Yu Xueqing's plea to return to the Dihuan Realm before they had hunted enough Azure Devil Race corpses for both to reach the Nascent Soul Realm Peak.

• Ye Qingxuan suppressed the devil qi, gave Ye Qingxiao a Tier Six Spirit Cleansing Pill that purged it, and treated his injuries with healing pills.

Four years later, he processed the Azure Devil Race corpses brought by his clones, harvested Spirit Purifying Trees, and prepared to sell them to Bai Zichun.

• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing Enlightenment Pills and cautioned them to hunt enough Azure Devil Race corpses before returning to Xuantian Sect to break through.
• After Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing left, Ye Qingxuan fed their accumulated corpses into the Purification Formation and estimated Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land would reach Fourth-grade Late Stage in about five years.

• Ye Qingxuan harvested five thousand Tier 5 Spirit Purifying Trees and exchanged them for a Spirit Vein Source intended for Bai Zichun.
• Ye Qingxuan messaged Bai Zichun that a new batch of Spirit Purifying Trees had arrived and waited for him at the Stone Pavilion.

Ye Qingxuan expanded the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s spirit veins and refined tens of thousands of Auxiliary Puppets to tend its Spirit Plants. While his clones fought through the Xuanmu Realm Core Region to harvest Demon Vein Sources, he received a message from Hong Miaomiao and Bai Qingyun, who had returned to Xuantian Sect after more than two hundred years away.

Hong Miaomiao and Bai Qingyun asked Ye Qingxuan for a Blessed Cultivator Retainer quota so their daughter, Bai Jiawei, could cultivate within the Xuantian Mountain Range despite her limited talent. Ye Qingxuan agreed to let her cultivate below Qingxuan Blessed Land’s summit for three hundred years, and gave them a retainer token without accepting their spirit stones.

• Ye Qingxuan welcomed Hong Miaomiao and Bai Qingyun to his stone pavilion and asked why they had returned to the sect.

After Bai Qingyun and Hong Miaomiao obtained a retainer token for Qingxuan Blessed Land, they persuaded their daughter Bai Jiawei to accept becoming a Blessed Cultivator Retainer. Bai Jiawei agreed after her parents promised she could spend three months each year with them, and learned that her new Lord of Blessed Land was Ye Qingxuan.
