Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingxuan processed the Azure Devil Realm resources and captured Netherworld Armor, then began upgrading the Cave Heaven Blessed Land Purification Formation so he could purify and repurpose powerful treasures. After spending three years refining his Seventh-grade Starlight Stones, he found they had upgraded only two-thirds of the formation bases and began drawing on the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land's origin.

• Ye Qingxuan fed mid- and low-tier Azure Devil Realm resources and corpses into the Cave Heaven Blessed Land Purification Formation, while reserving Void Glimpse Realm corpses for auction.
• Ye Qingxuan found the Netherworld Armor inside the Azure Devil Litian King's corpse, suppressed it with the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda, and sealed it inside his World Map.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to upgrade the Purification Formation so he could gently purify and reshape the Netherworld Armor and other seized treasures.
• Ye Qingxuan refined his stock of Seventh-grade Starlight Stones into Origin Essence to transform the formation bases, but after three years only about two-thirds had reached the seventh tier.
• Ye Qingxuan began calling upon the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land's origin to finish upgrading the formation bases.

Ye Qingxuan used the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s world origin to raise five great formations to eighth-tier low-grade, greatly improving the land’s purification and growth. He then began gently purifying the Netherworld Armor to erase its demonic origin, rules, and hostile artifact spirit, leaving it ready to be reshaped.

• Ye Qingxuan used the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s world origin to advance the Cave Heaven Blessed Land Purification Formation to seventh tier, then continued raising it toward eighth tier.
• Ye Qingxuan also elevated the Melting Array, Energy Conversion Array, Earth Vein Array, and Boundary Great Formation to eighth-tier low-grade over three years, consuming nearly all the world origin gained from his previous Azure Devil Realm harvest.
• Ye Qingxuan inspected the upgraded purification formation and found it could digest the Azure Devil Realm resources in about three years, while the other formations greatly accelerated resource conversion, spirit vein formation, and spirit herb growth.
• Ye Qingxuan released the Netherworld Armor from the world map’s suppression and struck it into the Tier 8 Cave Heaven Blessed Land Purification Formation.
• Ye Qingxuan used the formation’s purification rules to steadily erase the Netherworld Armor’s demonic qi origin and rule power, provoking its artifact spirit to counterattack.
• The purification continued to overpower the Netherworld Armor, turning the demonic qi pouring from it into origin energy for the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Ye Qingxuan purified the Netherworld Armor into a Spirit Treasure Embryo, prepared other embryos to nurture it, and mastered Tier 8 Artifact Dao. He re-entered the Azure Devil Realm to hunt the injured Qingmu King and began covertly investigating Qingmu King City.

• Ye Qingxuan spent seven years purifying the Netherworld Armor, turning it into an initial-state Mid-grade Spirit Treasure Embryo, and placed it in a Tier 8 Spirit Vein to nurture a new Energy Source.
• Ye Qingxuan purified twenty-three Low-grade Spirit Treasures into embryos and sent them to Seventh-grade Spirit Veins, then spent over five years mastering Tier 8 Artifact Dao.
• After finding the Netherworld Armor’s Energy Source only halfway formed, Ye Qingxuan decided to hunt Qingmu King and prepared his clone with 120,000 Low-grade Spirit Crystals.
• Ye Qingxuan entered the Azure Devil Realm, raised his clone to the Void Comprehension Realm, and traveled to Qingmu King City to locate the severely injured Qingmu King without alerting him.
• Ye Qingxuan secretly attached wisps of Spiritual Sense to Azure Devil Race members entering Qingmu King City and focused on a Void Glimpse Realm member flying toward a great hall in the city’s Central Area.

Ye Qingxuan confirmed that the injured Qingmu King was cultivating inside Qingmu King City and devised a plan to infiltrate the city, sabotage its defenses, and launch a surprise attack. After entering under Mohuan Wu’s identity and preparing to block the city’s formation bases, he began his assault on Qingmu King.

• Mohuan Wu complained about patrol duty and said he planned to travel to the Dihuan Realm to hunt Human Race cultivators.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that Qingmu King was cultivating in the city and identified the strength of the Azure Devil Race forces there.
• Ye Qingxuan captured Mohuan Wu outside the city, controlled his consciousness, and used his body to pass through the city’s formation barrier.
• Ye Qingxuan sealed Mohuan Wu again, disguised himself as him, and secretly placed methods to block thirty-six formation bases.
• Ye Qingxuan reached Qingmu King’s cultivation cave and unleashed the Life and Death Diagram and Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill.

Ye Qingxuan attacked Qingmu King in his underground cave mansion, using several Minor Divine Abilities to suppress him and the Eighth-order Azure Wood Ancient Tree. As Qingmu King City collapsed in the battle’s aftermath, Qingmu King ordered his surviving subordinates to flee to the Yuanwu Dynasty, while Ye Qingxuan focused on capturing Qingmu King, the ancient tree, and the Tier 8 Demon Vein Source.

• Ye Qingxuan struck Qingmu King with the Life and Death Diagram and trapped his cave mansion inside the Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill.
• Qingmu King summoned the Azure Wood Prison, Overlord Spears, and Xiao Mu, but Ye Qingxuan appeared and reinforced Boundary Suppressing with the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda.
• The battle shattered Qingmu King City’s ground and unleashed a destructive tide that killed many residents and forced the surviving Azure Devil Race cultivators to shelter one another.
• Qingmu King recognized Ye Qingxuan and told his Void Glimpse Realm subordinates to flee to the Yuanwu Dynasty for protection.
• The blood-red-robed cultivator led the survivors away with treasure and Demon Vein Sources, while Ye Qingxuan kept Qingmu King and Xiao Mu suppressed rather than pursue them.

Ye Qingxuan discovered how the Qingmu King had transferred a Life and Death Seal into the wounded Azure Wood Ancient Tree and used a barrier to prevent the king from ordering it to burn its Origin Rule Power. With his escape routes cut off, the Qingmu King detonated his Demonic Qi Void Realm to deny Ye Qingxuan his corpse, but Ye Qingxuan answered by reversing the Life and Death Seal.

• Ye Qingxuan realized the Qingmu King had used the Azure Wood Ancient Tree's vitality to break the balance of a Life and Death Seal, leaving both of them severely injured.
• Ye Qingxuan restored his spiritual power, taunted the Qingmu King, and threatened to publicly display his corpse to provoke him.
• The Qingmu King ordered the Azure Wood Ancient Tree to burn its Origin Rule Power, but it could not hear him because Ye Qingxuan had placed a Rule Barrier between them.
• The Qingmu King accused Ye Qingxuan of tampering with Qingmu King City's Eight-rank City Guard Great Formation and vowed to deny him his body.
• The Qingmu King stopped suppressing the Life and Death Seal and detonated his Demonic Qi Void Realm, believing Ye Qingxuan would lose the chance to claim his corpse.
• Ye Qingxuan smiled and spoke the words, "Life and Death Seal, reverse!"

Ye Qingxuan used the Life and Death Seal to stop Qingmu King from detonating his Energy Void Realm, then killed him and preserved his corpse. He also killed the Eighth-order Azure Wood Ancient Tree, collected the nearby treasures, and escaped as Yuanwu King arrived.

• Ye Qingxuan redirected the Life and Death Seal into Qingmu King's Energy Void Realm, preventing its full detonation and leaving him vulnerable to the Five Elements Grinding Mill.
• Ye Qingxuan crushed Qingmu King's defenses, killed him, and sealed the unstable Demonic Qi Void Realm inside his corpse before storing it in the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda.
• Ye Qingxuan recovered some Spiritual Power, then used his Life and Death Seal, Five Elements Grinding Mill, and Boundary Suppressing Pagoda to weaken and kill the Eighth-order Azure Wood Ancient Tree.
• Ye Qingxuan stored the tree's body and collected the Demon Vein Source, Magic Stones, and thirty-six Formation Bases as Yuanwu King approached and demanded answers.
• Ye Qingxuan ignored Yuanwu King's questions and fled using the Golden Light Rainbow Transformation Technique, reflecting that his ordinary clone's limited Spiritual Power forced him to end battles quickly.

After Ye Qingxuan killed Qingmu King, Yuanwu King reported his return to the Azure Devil Realm Alliance, prompting the Ancient Huang Imperial Dynasty to send Xie Gu to capture him. Ye Qingxuan hid his spoils, went to lure Yuanwu King out, and was confronted by a Tribulation Crossing Realm Azure Devil expert.

• Yuanwu King found Qingmu King City in ruins, realized Ye Qingxuan had returned after apparently dying, and reported the threat through the Azure Devil Book.
• Xie Yuan Gu received Yuanwu King's report and passed the matter to the Ancient Huang Imperial Dynasty, whose Emperor Venerable ordered Xie Gu to capture Ye Qingxuan.
• Ye Qingxuan restored his spiritual power, decided to save his remaining full-strength attacks for Yuanwu King, and buried his spoils before heading to Yuanwu King City.
• Ye Qingxuan concealed himself while scouting Yuanwu King City, then prepared to attack a nearby Tier 7 Azure Devil Tribe to lure Yuanwu King out.
• A Tribulation Crossing Realm Azure Devil expert appeared behind Ye Qingxuan and questioned whether he had killed two Azure Devil Kings; Ye Qingxuan calmly recognized the expert's realm and asked if he had come for him.

Ye Qingxuan’s clone tried to escape Xie Gu, a Tribulation Crossing Realm Azure Devil, but Ye Qingxuan withdrew his consciousness before Xie Gu could take him. Back in the Dihuan Realm, Ye Qingxuan repeatedly sent clones to recover a Storage Ring, but Xie Gu intercepted another one, leaving Ye Qingxuan to prepare a new attempt.

• Ye Qingxuan used his Boundary Suppressing Pagoda and Golden Light Rainbow Transformation Technique to flee Xie Gu, but Xie Gu froze him and suppressed his attempt to self-detonate.
• Ye Qingxuan withdrew his Main Consciousness and Sub-consciousness from the clone, and Xie Gu realized it was only a clone and took its body and the pagoda.
• Ye Qingxuan’s main body recondensed a clone, sent it through Dongxuan City’s Wormhole Passage to retrieve the Storage Ring, and resumed cultivating his Talisman Dao and Formation Dao.
• After less than seven days, Ye Qingxuan learned that Xie Gu had destroyed the new clone when it hunted a Void Glimpse Realm Azure Devil and revealed its Qi Aura.
• Ye Qingxuan began condensing another clone, planning to avoid fighting in the Azure Devil Realm so he could retrieve the Storage Ring without drawing Xie Gu’s attention.

Ye Qingxuan warned Dongxuan City that a Tribulation Crossing Realm Azure Devil had entered the Gu Yuan Great Demon Realm and ordered Human Race cultivators to evacuate. As hunters retreated or tried to respond, Xie Gu returned with another Void Glimpse Realm victim and asked whether the wormhole passages had been located.

• Ye Qingxuan learned that a Tribulation Crossing Realm Azure Devil had arrived in the Gu Yuan Great Demon Realm and sent Xueyu orders to warn cultivators and recall Dongxuan City's forces.
• Xueyu ordered Nan Yueming and other cultivators to spread warnings, barred Dongxuan City's Demon Hunters from entering the Azure Devil Realm, and sent Jiang Yinyin and others through the wormholes to alert those already there.
• Jiang Yinyin anxiously tried to contact her master, while Dongxuan City cultivators sent warnings to Demon Hunting Armies and individual hunters across the Gu Yuan Great Demon Realm.
• Luo Tian and Bai Shuqing received the warning while preparing to attack a Tier 7 Azure Devil Tribe and withdrew toward a wormhole passage.
• Liu Feifeng remained occupied fighting three Peak Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devils and did not notice her vibrating communication token.
• Xie Gu returned to the Yuanwu King's palace carrying the corpse of a Void Glimpse Realm human and asked whether the Dihuan Realm's wormhole passage locations had been fully identified.

Xie Gu ordered a search for the Dihuan Realm wormhole and sent Azure Devil forces after Human Race Cultivators, while Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian guarded a nearby passage as cultivators withdrew. Jiang Yinyin begged them to find her missing Master, Liu Feifeng, and they discovered her severely injured and unconscious with the Golden Phoenix Demon Hunting Army—but a Void Glimpse Realm Azure Devil was shadowing the group.

• Xie Gu learned that the Dihuan Realm wormhole passage had not been precisely located, ordered Yuanwu King to intensify the search, and marked areas of Spirit Transformation Realm battles for investigation.
• Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian arrived at the wormhole passage where Jiang Yinyin and other Dongxuan City Cultivators were stationed, then agreed to help guard it as cultivators withdrew from the Azure Devil Realm.
• Yuanwu King sent Azure Devil forces to investigate battle sites, and many Human Race Cultivators were slain or injured while trying to flee.
• Jiang Yinyin begged Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian to search for her missing Master, Liu Feifeng, and they covertly released their spiritual sense to investigate.
• Luo Tian found the severely injured, unconscious Liu Feifeng fleeing with the Golden Phoenix Demon Hunting Army, but Bai Shuqing detected a hidden Void Glimpse Realm Azure Devil watching them.

Jiang Yinyin rescued the Golden Phoenix Demon Hunting Army from Azure Devil Race pursuers, but Liu Feifeng remained near death from a Void Glimpse Realm enemy’s attack. After the group escaped through the wormhole passage before it collapsed, Jiang Yinyin headed to Dongxuan City to ask Ye Qingxuan to save her Master.

• Bai Shuqing deduced that a hidden Void Glimpse Realm Azure Devil Race was using the Golden Phoenix Demon Hunting Army to locate the wormhole passage.
• Jiang Yinyin arrived, drove back the pursuers with attack talismans, and led the wounded army toward the passage while avoiding the use of her strongest talismans.
• Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian revealed themselves to stop the hidden enemy and brought Jiang Yinyin and the survivors through the wormhole passage to Xingluo State.
• The passage collapsed after its Azure Devil Realm entrance was destroyed, and Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian said they could not remove the Void Glimpse Realm Rule Power eroding Liu Feifeng.
• After hearing how Liu Feifeng had been ambushed, Jiang Yinyin decided to seek Ye Qingxuan’s help, and Bai Shuqing and Luo Tian carried the Master and disciple toward Dongxuan City.

Ye Qingxuan saved Liu Feifeng after Jiang Yinyin brought her to Dongxuan City, then responded to the Azure Devil Realm’s destruction of wormhole passages by planning to hunt its experts and clear its passages into Xingluo State. He also sacrificed a Tier 8 Demon Vein Source to create a Tier 8 Spirit Vein and integrated it into Qingxuan Blessed Land.

• Jiang Yinyin brought the gravely injured Liu Feifeng to Ye Qingxuan, who stabilized and healed her while waiving his usual Three Hundred Million Contribution Points fee.
• Ye Qingxuan noted that Azure Devil forces were destroying wormhole passages and endangering cultivators in Xingluo State, so he decided to retaliate by clearing Azure Devil passages into the Dihuan Realm.
• After retrieving battle spoils through his clone, Ye Qingxuan sent it through the North Li Domain to hunt Void Comprehension Realm Azure Devil experts.
• Ye Qingxuan examined the Eighth-order Azure Wood Ancient Tree remnant and decided to preserve it until he had enough spiritual energy to nurture it.
• Ye Qingxuan sacrificed the Tier 8 Demon Vein Source from Qingmu King City, transformed it into a Tier 8 Spirit Vein Source, and integrated it into Qingxuan Blessed Land.

After losing two clones to Azure Devil Realm Mahayana experts, Ye Qingxuan concluded that hunting Void Comprehension Realm demons there was no longer practical and returned to cultivation. He began restoring the Netherworld Armor into a Mid-grade Spirit Treasure by nurturing a Five Elements Rule Source, while preparing to cultivate twenty-three more Spirit Treasure Embryos.

• Ye Qingxuan planted an Eighth-order Azure Wood Ancient Tree Seed above Qingxuan Blessed Land’s new Tier 8 Spirit Vein and buried the remaining trunk in its core.
• Ye Qingxuan sacrificed the corpses of Litian King and Qingmu King, then spent three months refining their World Origin and advancing his Spiritual Power Cultivation by about twenty-three percent.
• A Mahayana Realm Azure Devil captured Ye Qingxuan’s clone, and a second Mahayana Realm Azure Devil killed another clone when it revealed Void Comprehension Realm power in a different region.
• Ye Qingxuan inferred that the Azure Devil Realm Alliance was tracking his clones, abandoned plans to hunt Void Comprehension Realm Azure Devil, and sent another clone to plunder resources instead.
• After five more years of cultivation, Ye Qingxuan found that the Netherworld Armor had become a Mid-grade Spirit Treasure Embryo and infused it with a Five Elements Rule Projection.
• Ye Qingxuan gathered Five Elements Rule Power to help the Netherworld Armor form a Five Elements Small World, then took out twenty-three more Spirit Treasure Embryos to nurture.

Ye Qingxuan spent a century cultivating the Netherworld Armor into the Two-star Mid-grade Five Elements Emperor Armor and reforging two Boundary Suppressing Pagodas. He then surveyed Qingxuan Cave Heaven, which had advanced to the Seventh-tier Mid-stage and begun forming three embryonic Seventh-grade Spirit Mines.

• Ye Qingxuan smelted sixteen Low-grade Spirit Treasure Embryos and other resources to grow the Netherworld Armor's Five Elements Rule Source, then shaped it into a Two-star Mid-grade Spirit Treasure.
• Ye Qingxuan named the armor the Five Elements Emperor Armor, discovered it could split into five single-element suits, and stored it as a bracelet.
• Ye Qingxuan used seven remaining Spirit Treasure Embryos and other materials to finish shaping two Boundary Suppressing Pagodas as Three-star Low-grade Spirit Treasures.
• Ye Qingxuan reflected on reaching his thousandth birthday and resolved to rise to the summit of the Dihuan Realm's great age.
• Ye Qingxuan found that Qingxuan Cave Heaven had reached the Seventh-tier Mid-stage, produced embryonic Seventh-grade Starlight Stone, Boundary Setting Stone, and Five Elements Fine Gold mines, and accelerated his progress toward condensing his Ninth System Spirit Root.

After a century in seclusion, Ye Qingxuan relaxed with tea and hosted Bai Zichun, whose breakthrough was prompted by Sixth-grade Enlightenment Tea. He decided to expand Tianfu Shop by selling high-grade treasures to earn Xuantian Sect contribution points.

• Ye Qingxuan left Qingxuan Cave Heaven, messaged Ye Qingxiao, and waited in the stone pavilion, but received no reply.
• Ye Qingxuan invited Bai Zichun to Qingxuan Blessed Land and served him Sixth-grade Enlightenment Tea.
• Bai Zichun entered an epiphany and broke through from the Early Spirit Transmutation Realm to the Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage with Ye Qingxuan's help.
• Ye Qingxuan revealed the tea's grade, gave Bai Zichun a packet, and said he planned to sell it through Tianfu Shop.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to stock Tianfu Shop with high-grade tea, materials, talismans, pills, formation disks, and spirit treasures to earn sect contribution points.

Ye Qingxuan met with Bai Zichun after his long retreat, declined to trade Spirit Purifying Trees for Spirit Vein Sources, and learned how the war with the Azure Devil Race had increased their strategic value. He collected years of Blessed Cultivator rewards and considered how the invasion had raised Blessed Cultivators’ standing among Xuantian Sect and its affiliated forces.

• Ye Qingxuan told Bai Zichun that he would not exchange Spirit Purifying Trees for Spirit Vein Sources, though he offered to help with any unfinished procurement missions.
• Bai Zichun described how the war with the Azure Devil Race had increased demand for Spirit Purifying Trees and how both sides were secretly planting special trees and establishing strongholds in each other’s realms.
• Bai Zichun gave Ye Qingxuan the Blessed Cultivator Ranking rewards he had missed during his retreat, and Ye Qingxuan confirmed their receipt through his Disciple Token.
• Ye Qingxuan reflected on Xuantian Sect’s planting requirements and rankings, and on how the invasion had led sects and families to value Blessed Lands and compete for Blessed Cultivator quotas.

Ye Qingxuan summoned Zhu Dafu and gave him Sixth- and Seventh-grade Enlightenment Tea, Tier Seven Talismans, and Spirit Crystals to expand Tianfu Shop into a Star Shop. Zhu Dafu left to carry out the plan, which would bring high-level goods to the shop and attract transactions using Sect Contribution Points.

• After Bai Zichun departed, Ye Qingxuan contacted Zhu Dafu and summoned him to Qingxuan Blessed Land.
• Zhu Dafu drank Ye Qingxuan's Sixth-grade Enlightenment Tea, gained progress in his spells, and learned that his lax cultivation had kept him from entering an Epiphany State.
• Ye Qingxuan told Zhu Dafu he would sell Enlightenment Tea and other high-level goods through Tianfu Shop, then gave him stock and thirty thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals to upgrade the shop into a Star Shop.
• Ye Qingxuan set prices and purchase limits for the tea and talismans, and instructed Zhu Dafu to prioritize Sect Contribution Points and offer a five percent discount to those who used them.
• Zhu Dafu reviewed Ye Qingxuan's instructions through his Disciple Token and prepared to return to the Marketplace to make arrangements.

Zhu Dafu used Ye Qingxuan’s thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals to promote Tianfu Shop into a Star Shop, drawing attention from cultivators and elders across Xuantian Sect Market. The chapter ended with Void Glimpse Realm elders heading to inspect the shop, while Ye Qingxuan’s vast resources explained how he could sustain it.

• Zhu Dafu left Ye Qingxuan and went to the marketplace management office to request Star Shop status for Tianfu Shop.
• Elder Li accepted the thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystal deposit, returned Tianfu Shop’s old deposit, and set a transaction quota of thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals every hundred years.
• Elder Li used the management sand table to upgrade Tianfu Shop, expanding the building and causing a star to appear above it.
• Cultivators in the marketplace recognized Tianfu Shop’s promotion, while heavenly lightning silenced one cultivator who boasted about his destiny.
• Void Glimpse Realm elders wondered who controlled Tianfu Shop and went to inspect it after learning it was the first shop promoted to Star Shop in three thousand years.
• Ye Qingxuan’s stores of high-tier resources, spirit veins, and mastery of the Four Arts enabled him to supply Tianfu Shop and meet its ongoing requirements.

Zhu Dafu introduced Tianfu Shop’s Seventh-grade Enlightenment Tea to visiting Xuantian Sect Elders, who bought several taels along with two defense talismans. After learning that Star Shops could advertise through the Market’s Grand Formation, the Elders saw through Zhu Dafu’s attempt to collect their contact marks and asked whether he wanted them.

• Zhu Dafu welcomed a group of Xuantian Sect Elders and showed them the Seventh-grade Enlightenment Tea, explaining its effects and price.
• An Elder with black and white hair bought one tael of tea, hoping it would help him break through his cultivation bottleneck, and the other Elders purchased tea as well.
• The sales brought Tianfu Shop fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals and Sect Contribution Points worth 0.95 Major Merit, while Zhu Dafu delighted in handling the Spirit Crystals.
• Two Elders bought Tier Seven Top-grade Defense Talismans, and Zhu Dafu said the shop would later offer other tier seven items.
• An Elder pointed out that Tianfu Shop could advertise through the Market’s Grand Formation, then asked Zhu Dafu if he wanted the Elders’ contact marks.
