Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingxuan welcomed Bai Zichun, who personally inspected Qingxuan Blessed Land during Xuantian Sect’s scheduled assessment. Bai ranked it among the sect’s top fifteen Tier 3 Blessed Lands, leaving Ye Qingxuan surprised by how strong the competition was.

• Bai Zichun arrived to inspect Qingxuan Blessed Land, explaining that he had included it in his assessment out of curiosity.
• Ye Qingxuan guided Bai Zichun through the Heaven and Earth Barrier and showed him Qingxuan Blessed Land.
• Bai examined the land and found ordinary Tier 3 Spirit Medicine, then used eighteen cone-shaped magic treasures to investigate its Spirit Veins.
• Bai assessed Qingxuan Blessed Land as an Initial Stage Tier 3 Blessed Land with one Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein, eight Third-Tier Spirit Veins, forty-seven lower-tier Spirit Veins, and origin accumulated to the Tier 3 peak.
• Bai estimated that Qingxuan Blessed Land ranked in the top fifteen among Xuantian Sect’s Tier 3 Blessed Lands because its Heaven and Earth Rules were still shallow.
• Ye Qingxuan realized his disclosed Blessed Land could not reach the top ten and considered the deep foundations of the sect’s other Blessed Cultivators.

Ye Qingxuan learned how Xuantian Sect would rank Blessed Lands and verify their submitted resources, while Bai Zichun revealed plans for a new advancement-speed ranking. Ye Qingxuan suspected the sect’s increased support for Blessed Cultivators meant its leaders expected the Two Realms War to cause worsening resource shortages.

• Ye Qingxuan decided not to accelerate Qingxuan Blessed Land’s Heaven and Earth Rules just to improve its temporary ranking.
• Bai Zichun explained that the sect would assess total rankings by resource output after ten years and expected Ye Qingxuan to rank among the top three Tier 3 Blessed Cultivators if his spirit herb techniques were sound.
• Ye Qingxuan asked what ranking information would be visible and how the sect would ensure submitted resources came from each cultivator’s own Blessed Land.
• Bai Zichun explained the ranking’s visibility rules and said the sect would analyze trace elements to detect fraudulent submissions, punishing offenders with a century of free labor.
• Bai Zichun revealed that Xuantian Sect planned a Blessed Land Advancement Speed ranking with greater rewards, with standards and rewards expected to be finalized in three months.
• Ye Qingxuan interpreted the sect’s increased investment in Blessed Cultivators as a sign that its leaders feared the Two Realms War would bring prolonged conflict and severe resource shortages.

Bai Zichun tested whether Ye Qingxuan’s Spirit Purifying Trees came from Qingxuan Blessed Land, but the results reassured him, unaware they had been grown in Qingxuan Cave Heaven. After Xuantian Sect released its Blessed Land rankings, Ye Qingxuan placed twelfth among Tier 3 lands, prompting Yuan Lianghu to accuse the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard of rigging the results.

• Bai Zichun transferred the inspection data to the sect’s database and tested a Spirit Purifying Tree, confirming it did not originate from Qingxuan Blessed Land.
• Bai Zichun left to inspect an ancient Fifth-grade Blessed Land.
• Ye Qingxuan found himself ranked twelfth among Tier 3 Blessed Lands despite Qingxuan Blessed Land being only at the Initial Stage of Tier Three.
• Yuan Lianghu reacted angrily to ranking below Ye Qingxuan and sought to report the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard to the Enforcement Hall.
• Li Guangcai wondered about Ye Qingxuan’s Blessed Land, while Du Xuanzong briefly found its ranking interesting before turning his attention to Tier 4 rivals.
• Su Daobin saw that Wenwu Blessed Land ranked third among First-tier Blessed Lands and was nearing advancement to Tier 2.

Su Daobin and Fu Ding Tian noticed that Ye Qingxuan was absent from the Tier One ranking, while seven Enforcement Hall Stewards argued over complaints about Ye Qingxuan’s Tier 3 ranking. A Steward escalated the dispute, and Elder Tianxu appeared before them.

• Su Daobin concluded that Ye Qingxuan’s Blessed Land had advanced to Tier 2 and began preparing to advance his own.
• Fu Ding Tian noticed Ye Qingxuan’s absence from the Tier One ranking but chose not to contact him.
• Seven Enforcement Hall Stewards reviewed reports from Tier 3 Blessed Cultivators challenging Ye Qingxuan’s ranking, which their investigation had confirmed was valid.
• A White-Haired Elder proposed compensating Ye Qingxuan while lowering his ranking, but a Youth-like Steward insisted they follow the rules and escalated the matter to an Elder.
• Elder Tianxu appeared in the hall, and the seven Stewards bowed to him.

Elder Tianxu investigated the Blessed Cultivator Report Incident and ruled that Li Mu had violated the Sect Rule. He rejected the report, stripped Li Mu of his position and future employment, promoted Liu Ming, and ordered a review of Li Mu’s past cases; Li Mu pleaded for mercy.

• Elder Tianxu questioned the Stewards, and Liu Ming recounted the incident and explained why he had escalated it.
• Liu Ming confirmed that the Stewards had verified Ye Qingxuan's Blessed Land data and found no discrepancy.
• Li Mu defended his decision as serving the Sect Grand Situation, but Elder Tianxu condemned him for disregarding the Sect Rule and the interests of Sect Disciples.
• Elder Tianxu rejected the report, revoked Li Mu's position and barred him from future employment, withheld his Sect salary for one hundred years, and awarded Liu Ming ten million Contribution Points and a promotion to Five-Star Steward.
• Elder Tianxu ordered a renewed review of every case Li Mu had helped judge, and Li Mu knelt and begged for mercy.

Elder Tianxu stripped Li Mu of his Enforcement Hall position for proposing an improper punishment, while Ye Qingxuan remained unaware of the dispute. Ye Qingxiao returned to Xuantian Sect to join the upcoming Sect Grand Competition and explained its schedule and rules to Ye Qingxuan.

• Elder Tianxu warned the other stewards, stripped Li Mu of his position, and left him to depart in disgrace.
• Ye Qingxuan received a message, prepared tea, and welcomed his close brother Ye Qingxiao back to the pavilion.
• Ye Qingxiao told Ye Qingxuan that sect stewards had taken over his and Yu Xueqing's garrison mission so he could enter the Sect Grand Competition.
• Ye Qingxiao explained that the competition would begin in three months and described its different trials for disciples of each cultivation realm.

Ye Qingxiao asked Ye Qingxuan for support before the Sect Grand Competition, and Ye Qingxuan equipped him with an array of powerful defensive and offensive treasures for the Demon Realm. After Ye Qingxiao left, Ye Qingxuan began closed-door cultivation to improve his Divine Ability Realm and cultivation arts, starting with alchemy and talisman making.

• Ye Qingxiao told Ye Qingxuan he wanted support for the Sect Grand Competition because he lacked resources and did not want to ask his father-in-law for help.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao talismans, pills, defensive formations, and a Spirit Armor to help him survive the Demon Realm.
• Ye Qingxiao collected the gifts, praised Ye Qingxuan's wealth, and left after asking whether he had more treasures.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to Qingxuan Cave Heaven and began closed-door cultivation to advance his Divine Ability Realm and Four Arts of Cultivation.
• Ye Qingxuan chose to begin with alchemy and talisman making, using Starlight Stones and Tier Seven Spirit Medicines.

Ye Qingxuan failed to make a Tier Seven Talisman and decided to practice alchemy to improve his control over his power. News from Bai Zichun revealed that Ye Qingxuan’s ranking had helped prompt a review that punished three Enforcement Hall stewards and a Core Disciple.

• After three days of inscribing patterns and infusing his Profound Meaning Rules, Ye Qingxuan’s jade talisman cracked and exploded, so he decided to practice refining Tier One Pills instead.
• Ye Qingxuan received Ye Qingxiao’s message that the Xuantian Sect disciple competition had begun in Number Nine Devil Realm World and hoped her trip went smoothly.
• Bai Zichun told Ye Qingxuan that his ranking had sparked reports among Tier 3 Blessed Cultivators and that a review of Li Mu’s past cases had uncovered a mishandled shop dispute.
• The Enforcement Hall stripped Li Mu and another Core Disciple of their positions and sentenced them to three hundred years at the mines, while two other stewards received one hundred-year sentences.
• Ye Qingxuan realized his ranking had indirectly exposed the wrongdoing and accepted that his name had reached more people, though he hoped they would eventually forget him.

Ye Qingxuan received rewards for Qingxuan Blessed Land’s growth record, then continued cultivating and successfully refined a Seventh-Tier Origin Pill. After using it to improve his cultivation, he planned to turn his remaining Tier Seven Spirit Medicines into more Origin Pills before advancing his Talisman Dao.

• Ye Qingxuan learned that Qingxuan Blessed Land ranked first among Tier 3 Blessed Lands for growth speed and earned three Third-Tier Spirit Vein Sources plus a record-breaking reward of one Fourth-Tier Spirit Vein Source.
• Ye Qingxuan had Ye Zhaoheng accept the four Spirit Vein Sources on his behalf while he continued closed-door cultivation.
• After three years of refining medicines and practicing, Ye Qingxuan successfully made a Seventh-Tier Origin Pill.
• Ye Qingxuan swallowed the pill and absorbed its energy, gaining cultivation equivalent to twenty years of uninterrupted meditation.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to refine his remaining Tier Seven Spirit Medicines into Origin Pills before improving his Talisman Dao.

Ye Qingxuan refined Seventh-grade Low-grade Origin Pills while learning that the Azure Devil Race and Human Race Contract had been canceled, triggering a brutal war in Number Nine Devil Realm. After the Xuantian Sect disciples returned, Ye Qingxiao told him about the campaign and his own strong ranking and gains.

• Ye Qingxuan chose to refine his remaining ninety-two stalks of Seventh-grade Low-grade Spirit Medicine into low-grade Origin Pills and reserve eleven mid-grade stalks for mid-grade pills.
• Over six years, Ye Qingxuan failed four times and successfully refined forty Origin Pills before sensing that the restrictive contract between the Azure Devil Race and Human Race had ended.
• The contract's cancellation allowed Spirit Transmutation Realm cultivators to attack weaker opponents, and the fighting in Number Nine Devil Realm intensified as the realm approached collapse.
• After ten years of war, the Blood Moon Imperial Court abandoned Number Nine Devil Realm, and nearly two million Xuantian Sect disciples returned after killing most of the Azure Devil Race forces there.
• Ye Qingxiao told Ye Qingxuan that he had ranked among the top ten thousand Spirit Transmutation Realm True Inheritance Disciples and had slain several Spirit Transmutation Realm enemies using Ye Qingxuan's talismans and Nuclear Explosion Pills.

Ye Qingxuan purified the Azure Devil Race spoils Ye Qingxiao had left behind to nourish Qingxuan Cave Heaven, then received Xuantian Sect Pill Hall disciple Ji Daoming for the ten-year Spirit Herb collection. Ji Daoming harvested Qingxuan Blessed Land’s herbs and tallied more than a billion Contribution Points, far exceeding his expectations.

• Ye Qingxuan fed Ye Qingxiao’s Azure Devil Race corpses and plundered treasures into the Purification Formation, rapidly increasing Qingxuan Cave Heaven’s origin.
• Ye Qingxuan waited for Xuantian Sect’s ten-year Spirit Herb collection and welcomed Pill Hall disciple Ji Daoming.
• Ye Qingxuan told Ji Daoming to collect whatever Spirit Herbs he found while he rested nearby.
• Ji Daoming harvested the Spirit Herbs across Qingxuan Blessed Land and counted 213,600 Tier 3 and 34,000 Tier 2 Spirit Medicines, worth 1.0782 billion Contribution Points.

After Ye Qingxuan’s Blessed Land output earned him a high place in the Xuantian Sect’s new overall ranking, other Blessed Cultivators reacted with shock and sought his advice. He brushed off their questions, then discovered that the sect had more Sixth-Tier Blessed Cultivators than he had expected.

• Ye Qingxuan sent Ji Daoming out of Qingxuan Blessed Land and returned to seclusion to improve his Talisman Dao Attainment.
• Three days after Ji Daoming left, the Xuantian Sect released its Blessed Cultivator Overall Ranking, placing Ye Qingxuan 3,023rd and first among Tier 3 Blessed Cultivators.
• Du Xuanzong acknowledged that he had underestimated Ye Qingxuan but still did not consider him a rival, while Fu Ding Tian and Su Daobin contacted Ye Qingxuan to ask how to nurture a Blessed Land.
• After finishing a Seventh-Tier Origin Pill, Ye Qingxuan saw the ranking and gave Fu Ding Tian and Su Daobin evasive replies rather than reveal his secrets.
• Ye Qingxuan examined the rankings and realized that the Xuantian Sect had at least a hundred Sixth-Tier Blessed Cultivators, and might also have Seventh-Tier Blessed Cultivators.

Ye Qingxuan refined Seventh-Tier Origin Pills, then advanced his Talisman Dao while using the pills to strengthen his cultivation. After gaining 2,040 years of cultivation, he reached the Peak Mid Void Glimpse Realm but remained short of the Late Void Glimpse Realm.

• Ye Qingxuan spent nine years refining his remaining Seventh-grade Spirit Medicines into Origin Pills, including forty-seven low-grade pills and three mid-grade pills from the final batch.
• Ye Qingxuan began practicing Talisman Dao while consuming a Seventh-Tier Origin Pill each day, and refined his first Seventh-grade Low-grade fire-attribute Attack Talisman in less than ten days.
• Ye Qingxuan used his accumulated Starlight Stones to craft seven low-grade talismans, then began studying patterns for Seventh-grade Mid-grade Talismans.
• Ye Qingxuan consumed eighty-seven low-grade and three mid-grade Origin Pills, gaining 2,040 years of cultivation and reaching the Peak Mid Void Glimpse Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan accepted that his Six-element Spirit Roots made his cultivation progress slower than Liu Tai'an's Twelve Element Spirit Roots.

Ye Qingxuan advanced his Talisman Dao to the Seventh-tier Mid-stage by refining his first Seventh-grade Mid-grade Talisman. He reunited with Liu Tai'an, who had returned from the Outer Realm Battlefield after breaking through to the Void Comprehension Realm Middle Stage.

• Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advanced to the Middle Stage of Tier Six, accelerating the growth of Ye Qingxuan's Spirit Roots.
• Ye Qingxuan infused Second Layer Realm Profound Meaning Rules into a talisman and successfully refined his first Seventh-grade Mid-grade Talisman.
• Ye Qingxuan received a message that Liu Tai'an had returned and went to meet him at the Stone Pavilion.
• Liu Tai'an told Ye Qingxuan that he had broken through to the Void Comprehension Realm Middle Stage after years of fighting on the Outer Realm Battlefield.
• Ye Qingxuan envied Liu Tai'an's rapid progress but reassured himself that his own advantage would grow over time.

Liu Tai'an returned to the Xuantian Sect after the Outer Realm Battlefield began collapsing and gave Ye Qingxuan a Void Source Fruit. Cen Zhe then ordered Liu Tai'an to recruit and train at least one disciple at the sect's grand recruitment in thirty years.

• Liu Tai'an told Ye Qingxuan that Space Rifts and Chaos Current were destabilizing the Outer Realm Battlefield, forcing experts to withdraw as the two realms reclaimed its origin.
• Liu Tai'an gave Ye Qingxuan a Void Source Fruit, which Ye Qingxuan recognized and accepted.
• Liu Tai'an left Ye Qingxuan and went to Xuantian Peak to meet Cen Zhe.
• Cen Zhe asked Liu Tai'an whether he had given Ye Qingxuan the fruit, then instructed him to personally recruit at least one disciple in thirty years.
• Liu Tai'an reluctantly agreed to take in and train a disciple.

Cen Zhe visited Ye Qingxuan and discovered that his cultivation had reached the Void Glimpse Realm and his Qingxuan Blessed Land was sixth-grade. After inspecting it, Cen Zhe appeared impressed and asked about Ye Qingxuan’s friendship with his disciple Taian.

• After Liu Tai'an left, Cen Zhe decided to meet the senior brother his disciple often mentioned and appeared before Ye Qingxuan.
• Cen Zhe introduced himself as the Xuantian Sect Master and saw through Ye Qingxuan’s Void Glimpse Realm cultivation.
• Ye Qingxuan told Cen Zhe that his Qingxuan Blessed Land had reached the sixth-grade level and invited him inside.
• Ye Qingxuan removed the formation concealing his true Blessed Land, and Cen Zhe inspected it and praised it.
• Cen Zhe asked Ye Qingxuan whether his disciple Taian had a deep friendship with him and called him Senior Brother.

Ye Qingxuan became Cen Zhe's disciple and received several valuable resources to develop his Qingxuan Blessed Land. Cen Zhe promised to conceal Ye Qingxuan's identity and keep his new master-disciple relationship secret from most of Xuantian Sect.

• Cen Zhe offered to become Ye Qingxuan's master, and Ye Qingxuan formally accepted.
• Cen Zhe gave Ye Qingxuan a Seventh-grade Spirit Vein Source, four Origin Fruit Tree saplings, and a remnant root from Chaos; Ye Qingxuan agreed that seventy percent of the trees' future fruits would go to the sect.
• Cen Zhe promised to activate Ye Qingxuan's permission to exchange for items in the sect's Seventh-grade Treasury once he returned.
• Cen Zhe told Ye Qingxuan that the sect's protective formation concealed his Qingxuan Blessed Land from everyone except Cen Zhe unless they entered the area.
• Ye Qingxuan asked Cen Zhe to keep their master-disciple relationship secret, and Cen Zhe agreed that only future sect masters and Mahayana Realm Grand Elders would know about him.

Hua Taixu failed to obtain the Void Source Fruit from Liu Tai'an, while Ye Qingxuan settled into his new position as Cen Zhe’s disciple and examined his gifts. He discovered that the final gift was a remnant root of Jianmu, the Chaos Spirit Root.

• Hua Taixu asked Liu Tai'an to trade him the Void Source Fruit, but Liu Tai'an said he had already given it away.
• Hua Taixu left Liu Tai'an’s cave mansion wondering who had received the fruit, while Liu Tai'an worried about recruiting disciples thirty years later.
• After Cen Zhe left Qingxuan Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan reflected on the support he had gained by becoming Cen Zhe’s disciple.
• Ye Qingxuan merged a Seventh-grade Spirit Vein Source into Qingxuan Blessed Land, planted four Origin Fruit Trees, and kept the gifts within his Blessed Land rather than expose Qingxuan Cave Heaven.
• Ye Qingxuan examined the final gift and recognized it as a remnant root of Jianmu, the Chaos Spirit Root.

Ye Qingxuan chose to postpone nurturing the Jianmu Remnant Root and swallowed the Void Source Fruit, which awakened a seventh Spiritual Root Origin Star and made him a cultivator with a Seven-element Spirit Root. He then spent ten years advancing his Talisman Dao Attainment to the Seventh-grade Peak, leaving him with much less Starlight Stone and uncertain prospects for improving his other crafts.

• Ye Qingxuan decided to prioritize his cultivation instead of using the Cave Heaven Blessed Land's resources to awaken the Jianmu Remnant Root.
• Ye Qingxuan swallowed the Void Source Fruit, entered the Mysterious Star Sea Space, and lit up another Spiritual Root Origin Star.
• Ye Qingxuan gained a seventh Energy Channel, which resonated with the other six and increased their Spiritual Energy absorption.
• Ye Qingxuan concluded that the stars in the Mysterious Star Sea Space represented Spiritual Root Origin Stars and privately theorized that cultivators' potential had changed since the Ancient Years.
• Ye Qingxuan spent ten years refining Tier Seven Talismans and studying Talisman Patterns, reaching the Seventh-grade Peak in Talisman Dao Attainment.
• Ye Qingxuan used nearly five thousand cubic of Starlight Stone and worried that his remaining reserves might not be enough to advance his Artifact Dao or Formation Dao.

Ye Qingxuan completed his Nascent Soul Transformation, advancing his Primordial Spirit to the Void Glimpse Realm and his Profound Meaning Rules to the Fourth Layer. His Natal Magic Treasure, the World Map, transformed into a Three-star Low-grade Spirit Treasure and formed a Small World resembling Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, though Ye Qingxuan remained unsure how it had gained its unusual growth and assistance effects.

• Ye Qingxuan's Primordial Spirit completed its transformation, and the fifteen Profound Meaning Rules he comprehended advanced to the Fourth Layer before returning to his Sea of Consciousness.
• The World Map completed its transformation as fifteen Profound Meaning Rules entered it and a Small World began forming within.
• Three days later, the Small World took shape with Dual Heavens resembling Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and Ye Qingxuan realized it could continue evolving his Spirit Roots and slow the passage of his lifespan.
• Ye Qingxuan speculated that the World Map's Small World and its assistance effects came from the Heaven and Earth Root Source it had absorbed from Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
• Ye Qingxuan summoned the World Map into his hand and found it had become a Three-star Low-grade Spirit Treasure containing fifteen types of Third Layer Realm Profound Meaning Rules.
