Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingxuan compared the strengths and risks of the three Blessed Cultivation paths, arguing that Artifact Path and Self Path should advance normally rather than suppress cultivation for a supposedly unmatched foundation. After Ye Zhaoheng’s two Source Seeds became Miniature Mustard Seed Origin Worlds, Ye Qingxuan gave him instructions for nurturing them and left him to study the cultivation legacy.

• Ye Qingxuan reasoned that Heaven and Earth Path offered more complete worlds and easier comprehension of laws, but could entangle cultivators with their worlds and limit their power when away from their Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.
• Ye Qingxuan concluded that Artifact Path and Self Path allowed cultivators to wield their Small Worlds’ accumulated power wherever they went, and that their resource costs should not create excessive karmic debts if they advanced normally.
• Ye Qingxuan warned that Self Path cultivators who suppressed breakthroughs or plundered resources to expand their worlds risked binding themselves to Dihuan Realm and facing Heavenly Punishment.
• Three months later, Ye Qingxuan sensed that Ye Zhaoheng’s two Source Seeds had transformed into basketball-sized Miniature Mustard Seed Origin Worlds and returned to him.
• Ye Qingxuan told Ye Zhaoheng to let the worlds grow through at least three transformations before switching to Self Path, and instructed him to nurture them first with Low-grade Spirit Stones and later with Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
• Ye Zhaoheng stored the Low-grade Spirit Stones in his worlds, while Ye Qingxuan left him to digest the Blessed Cultivation Path legacy as the worlds grew on their own.

Ye Qingxuan reunited with Ye Qingxiao, who had broken through to the Void Glimpse Realm and planned to travel to the Endless Sea Domain. Ye Qingxuan revealed his new Blessed Cultivation Path and gave Ye Qingxiao resources to help him and Yu Xueqing cultivate, leaving Ye Qingxiao shocked by Ye Qingxuan’s achievement.

• Ye Qingxiao told Ye Qingxuan he had accepted a mission to establish a Dihuan Realm Alliance branch in the Endless Sea Domain for about six hundred years.
• Ye Qingxuan warned Ye Qingxiao against entering the Azure Devil Realm, then learned Yu Xueqing would accompany him and hunt Azure Devil Race members there.
• Ye Qingxiao explained that the mission offered one hundred Rule Crystals, and Ye Qingxuan showed him a sealed Rule Crystal before presenting him with a thousand.
• Ye Qingxuan imparted the legacy of his newly created Blessed Cultivation Path, shocking Ye Qingxiao.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao two Seventh-grade Cave Heaven Origin Seeds, two Seventh-grade Blessed Land Origin Seeds, and the Rule Crystals for him and Yu Xueqing, urging them to pursue the new path.

Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a new Blessed Cultivator Legacy, Origin Seeds, and advice for beginning the Self Dao, which Ye Qingxiao shared with Yu Xueqing. After three months of condensing Origin Seeds, Ye Qingxuan used up Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land's available supply, leaving him with limited stock for promoting the cultivation path.

• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a Legacy Jade Talisman for Yu Xueqing and warned the couple to let their Mustard Seed Origin Realms undergo at least four transformations before merging them into their Spiritual Power Void Realms.
• Ye Qingxiao returned to his cave mansion, shared the legacy with Yu Xueqing, and explained that Ye Qingxuan had created it; they decided to switch to Blessed Cultivation - Self Path after reaching the Endless Sea Domain.
• Yu Xueqing considered saving an Origin Seed for her father, but Ye Qingxiao reassured her that he could obtain seeds through the Xuantian Sect once the legacy spread.
• Ye Qingxuan condensed Origin Seeds of multiple grades for three months, producing a limited stock and retaining nine Seventh-grade Cave Heaven Origin Seeds and nine Seventh-grade Blessed Land Origin Seeds.
• Ye Qingxuan found that Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land could no longer produce Origin Seeds after its available supply had been exhausted.

Ye Qingxuan continued cultivating his Mustard Seed Origin Realms while Cen Zhe prepared the Xuantian Sect for the Dihuan Realm’s recruitment ceremonies ten years later. Cen Zhe used the Mystic Sound Bell to announce the Xuantian Sect’s recruitment across the Eastern Domain, prompting the Tianyuan Sect and Huangfu Immortal Clan to make competing announcements.

• Ye Qingxuan checked on his four Mustard Seed Origin Realms, replenished their energy, and resumed cultivation as he awaited their next transformation.
• Yi Tianzong reported that most Prefecture-level Grand Teleportation Arrays had been upgraded, and Cen Zhe ordered the Xuantian Sect to hold a Recruitment Ceremony in ten years.
• Cen Zhe broadened the recruitment requirements to accept anyone under one hundred years old, regardless of cultivation or talent, and ordered publicity throughout the Dihuan Realm Inner Five Domains.
• Cen Zhe rang the Mystic Sound Bell and announced the Xuantian Sect’s Recruitment Ceremony across the Eastern Domain.
• The Tianyuan Sect and Huangfu Immortal Clan responded by announcing their own recruitment ceremonies and competing offers.

The Eastern Domain’s major powers announced recruitment ceremonies for ten years later, while Ye Family Village’s elders debated whether to send gifted Ye Jingming outside their secluded valley. Their argument was interrupted by a voice from Xuantian Sect, leaving the village facing an unexpected announcement.

• Cen Zhe heard that Tianyuan Sect and the Huangfu Immortal Clan had announced recruitment ceremonies and chose not to retaliate, while other Eastern Domain powers hurried to publicize their own plans.
• Ye Jingming told the village chief that he had reached the seventh layer of Qi Refining, and the chief celebrated his potential to protect Ye Family Village.
• The village’s history revealed that its ancestors had secluded themselves more than seven hundred years earlier to escape the Azure Devil Race, while scarce resources and nearby demonic beasts threatened their descendants.
• Xuan Yun urged the village chief to send Ye Jingming outside, arguing that the village was wasting his talent and nearing decline, but the chief resisted because the outside world might still be dangerous.
• A dignified voice suddenly spoke above Ye Family Village, beginning, “Ten years from now, My Xuantian Sect...”

Ye Qingfeng and Ye Xuanyun debated whether Ye Ximing should leave Ye Family Village after the three Eastern Domain hegemonic forces announced recruitment ceremonies. Ye Qingfeng agreed to send Ye Ximing into the outside world, gave him the Ye Family Patriarch Token, and revealed that their family still had an ancestor in Xuantian Sect.

• Ye Qingfeng and Ye Xuanyun recognized the Xuantian Sect recruitment announcement and discussed the danger of sending Ye Ximing beyond the village.
• Announcements from Tianyuan Sect and Huangfu Immortal Clan led Ye Xuanyun to argue that the Demonic Disaster might have been suppressed and Ye Ximing should leave.
• Ye Qingfeng asked Ye Ximing whether he wanted to see the outside world, and Ye Ximing said he wanted to grow stronger and protect Ye Family Village.
• Ye Qingfeng agreed to send Ye Ximing away, entrusted him with the Ye Family Patriarch Token, and asked him to reestablish contact with Xuantian Sect.
• Ye Qingfeng told Ye Ximing that Ye Family had an ancestor in Xuantian Sect, and Ye Ximing asked for the ancestor's name.

Ye Qingfeng entrusted Ye Ximing with the Ye Family Patriarch Token and sent him and Ye Xuanyun toward Xuantian Sect to seek Ancestor Ye Qingxuan. Two years later, Ye Qingxuan began transforming his cultivation and treasures, while Liu Tai’an returned to the sect seeking the Rule Secret Realm to advance toward the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

• Ye Qingfeng told Ye Ximing that Ancestor Ye Qingxuan had founded Qingxuan Blessed Land within Xuantian Sect and might provide resources to the Ye Family.
• Ye Qingfeng gave Ye Ximing the Patriarch Token and arranged for Ye Xuanyun to escort him to Xuantian Sect.
• Three days later, Ye Qingfeng watched Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ximing depart from Ye Family Village, hoping their journey would be safe.
• Two years later, Ye Qingxuan merged two Mustard Seed Origin Realms into his World Map and two others into his Spiritual Power Void Realm to begin switching to the Blessed Cultivation - Self Path.
• Ye Qingxuan prepared to refine a Tier 8 Minor Zhou Heaven Stars Great Formation Diagram using Tier 8 materials.
• Liu Tai’an returned to Xuantian Sect at the Void Comprehension Realm Peak and asked Cen Zhe for permission to cultivate in the Rule Secret Realm.

Liu Tai'an accepted Cen Zhe’s plan to oversee the sect’s next Recruitment Ceremony before entering the Rule Secret Realm. Meanwhile, Dongxuan City’s Origin Crystal prizes drew Ling Yunhai and Gan Wuji to Xingluo State, where they confronted Ye Qingxuan about trading for Origin Crystals and Rule Crystals.

• Cen Zhe told Liu Tai'an to recover from the Border Pass Battlefield and oversee the sect’s Recruitment Ceremony before entering the Rule Secret Realm.
• Liu Tai'an arranged the Recruitment Ceremony with sect Elders, then began brief closed-door cultivation.
• Dongxuan City’s Purple Mansion Realm Competition awarded Origin Crystals, and scouts spread the news beyond Xingluo State.
• Ling Yunhai and Gan Wuji entered Xingluo State, met on its outskirts, and traveled together toward Dongxuan City while considering its prodigies and prosperity.
• Ye Qingxuan welcomed Ling Yunhai and Gan Wuji to Wan Ling Mountain with Seventh-grade Enlightenment Tea.
• Ling Yunhai confirmed that the competition had awarded Origin Crystals and asked Ye Qingxuan whether he could trade Origin Crystals or Rule Crystals, while Gan Wuji watched eagerly.

Ye Qingxuan refused to reveal whether he possessed Rule Crystals and deterred Ling Yunhai and Gan Wuji by displaying his World Map and formidable Rule Power. After refusing Gan Wuji permission to recruit in Xingluo State, he watched the two leave, while Ling Yunhai weighed the risks of acting against him.

• Ye Qingxuan denied having Rule Crystals, but Gan Wuji challenged his claim and pressured him to produce them.
• Ye Qingxuan shattered Gan Wuji's aura and revealed his Mountain River Map, prompting both visitors to recognize his threat and reconsider attacking.
• Ling Yunhai apologized and accepted Ye Qingxuan's denial, and Ye Qingxuan told the two to leave.
• Gan Wuji asked to establish a Donggan Sect recruitment site in Xingluo State, but Ye Qingxuan refused and Gan Wuji departed with Ling Yunhai.
• Outside Xingluo State, Gan Wuji asked whether they would let Ye Qingxuan's disrespect pass, and Ling Yunhai explained that the Alliance's rules and Ye Qingxuan's strength made attacking him too risky.

Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ximing listened to cultivators in Dongyun City discuss sect recruitment and learned that talented candidates could be assessed in their state capitals. Ye Xuanyun decided Ye Ximing should aim for Xuantian Sect, while Old Man Bai revealed his gifted grandson had already left for Yunhai State City under the City Lord’s protection.

• Ling Yunhai wondered whether the Dongxuan City Lord possessed Rule Crystals before leaving Dongxuan City.
• Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ximing overheard cultivators discuss Tianhai Sect, Xuantian Sect, and the upcoming recruitment ceremony.
• Old Man Bai boasted that his grandson had Seven-element Spirit Root Talent, prompting Ye Xuanyun to privately compare him with Ye Ximing’s Nine-element Spirit Root.
• Cultivators pointed out that Old Man Bai’s grandson might not reach the recruitment ceremony in time, but his friends explained that Xuantian Sect would hold preliminary assessments in state capitals.
• Old Man Bai revealed that his grandson had already left for Yunhai State City under the City Lord’s protection, and Ye Xuanyun felt reassured about Ye Ximing’s prospects.

Old Man Bai revealed his grandson’s talent to deter Dongyun City’s powers, but the city’s war drums announced an Azure Devil Race invasion shortly afterward. As the attackers battered the weakened city formation, Ye Xuanyun prepared an escape plan for Ye Ximing in case the barrier fell.

• Old Man Bai explained to himself that he had publicized his grandson’s talent to protect the weak Bai Family after Dongyun City’s City Lord departed.
• Dongyun City’s war drums sounded, and the cultivators recognized the alarm as a warning of an Azure Devil Race invasion; Ye Xuanyun feared for Ye Ximing and regretted bringing him from Ye Family Village.
• A scholar-like cultivator deduced that the Azure Devil Race had hidden in a stronghold and attacked after the City Lord left, leaving Old Man Bai pale and speechless.
• The Azure Devil Race attacked Dongyun City’s weakening formation barrier, and the Guard Leader urged the city’s cultivators to reinforce it until the City Lord returned.
• Ye Xuanyun assessed the attackers, moved with Ye Ximing toward a corner away from the two Nascent Soul Realm enemies, and told him to use a Tier Five Teleport Talisman if the barrier broke.

Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ximing escaped Dongyun City separately as the Azure Devil Race broke through its defenses, leaving the city's people to fight for their lives. The Yunhai State City Lord arrived in time to kill the invaders, though more than half of Dongyun City's people had already been killed or wounded.

• Ye Xuanyun gave Ye Ximing a storage bag of supplies and urged him to reach Xuantian Sect and find Ye Qingxuan if they were separated.
• The Azure Devil Race shattered Dongyun City's formation barrier, and Ye Xuanyun and Ye Ximing each activated a Tier Five Teleport Talisman to flee in different directions.
• The Azure Devil Race attacked the unprotected city, and Dongyun City's cultivators fought back, with some sacrificing themselves to injure or kill their enemies.
• The Yunhai State City Lord killed every Azure Devil Race member invading Dongyun City with a shout and explained that he had come in response to the city's distress report.
• The Yunhai State City Lord left a temporary barrier over Dongyun City and departed, leaving its survivors to handle the aftermath until their City Lord returned.

Ye Zhaoheng converted to Blessed Cultivation - Self Path, prompting the Dihuan Realm to recognize Ye Qingxuan as the Ancestor of Blessed Cultivation and grant him the Destiny of Dao Opening. Across the realm, people wondered whether Ye Qingxuan was the person they knew, while Ye Ximing learned of the announcement as he traveled toward the Xuantian Sect.

• Ye Qingxuan arrived after Ye Zhaoheng’s two Mustard Seed Origin Realms completed their third transformation and guarded his conversion to Blessed Cultivation - Self Path.
• Ye Zhaoheng fused the two realms into his dantian Small World, where they absorbed his Spiritual Power Void Realm Embryo and stabilized his cultivation.
• The Dihuan Realm named Ye Qingxuan the Ancestor of Blessed Cultivation and bestowed Living Being Destiny and the Destiny of Dao Opening upon him.

• Ye Qingfeng wondered whether the newly named ancestor was his family’s old ancestor, and Ye Ximing heard the announcement while traveling, realizing he would miss the Xuantian Sect’s Recruitment Ceremony.

After the Heaven and Earth Sound announced Ye Qingxuan as the creator of a new Blessed Cultivation Path, cultivators across the Dihuan Realm reacted, including Ye Ximing, Ye Qingxiao, Yu Xueqing, and Ye Qingshuang. In Qingxuan Blessed Land, Cen Zhe examined Ye Qingxuan’s new legacy and realized it surpassed his expectations.

• Ye Ximing recalled escaping Dongyun City five years earlier, cultivating to the Purple Mansion Realm Mid Stage in a Golden Core Cave Mansion, and continuing toward Xuantian Sect after hearing the announcement.
• Ye Qingxiao and Yu Xueqing discussed Ye Qingxuan’s new fame and the protection his share of Dao Destiny might provide as they traveled toward the Deep Sea Domain with Xuantian Sect cultivators.
• Ye Qingshuang recognized Dongxuan City Lord as Ye Qingxuan after matching his earlier message with the Heaven and Earth Sound, then flew toward Nanxuan City in anger over his concealment.
• The Lingxiao Temple Master connected Ye Qingxuan’s announcement to Cen Zhe’s earlier push for rewards and waited for Cen Zhe to explain the new path to the Alliance.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Cen Zhe a jade slip describing Blessed Cultivation - Artifact Path, Blessed Cultivation - Heaven and Earth Path, and Blessed Cultivation - Self Path, and Cen Zhe was shocked by the legacy’s scope.

Ye Qingxuan explained his new Blessed Cultivation Path to Cen Zhe, who accepted seeds for the Artifact Path but was unwilling to risk changing his own Dao. They discussed supplying and trading the path and its Source Seeds through the Dihuan Realm Alliance, leaving Cen Zhe to negotiate the details with the Alliance.

• Cen Zhe asked whether anyone had tried the new path, and Ye Qingxuan confirmed that Ye Zhaoheng had converted to Blessed Cultivation - Self Path and that he had practiced all three paths himself.
• Cen Zhe declined to convert to Blessed Cultivation - Self Path, wary of its uncertain future and the danger of changing his Dao at the Mahayana Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Cen Zhe Seventh-grade Cave Heaven and Blessed Land Seeds so he could try Blessed Cultivation - Artifact Path without risking his Dao.
• Cen Zhe noticed Qingxuan Blessed Land's rapid growth, and Ye Qingxuan acknowledged that he had a Qingxuan Cave Heaven as well.
• Ye Qingxuan listed the Source Seeds he could produce and agreed to provide Xuantian Sect with additional Sixth- and Seventh-grade seeds.
• Ye Qingxuan proposed putting the cultivation legacy in the Alliance Exchange Treasury and auctioning limited Source Seeds to major powers, with Cen Zhe negotiating prices and quotas.

Ye Qingxuan discussed the auction of Source Seeds and rewards for creating the New Blessed Cultivator Legacy with Cen Zhe. He secured promises of cultivation resources and a Top-grade Spirit Treasure, then planned to establish 108 legacy secret places across the Dihuan Realm while remaining within Xuantian Sect.

• Ye Qingxuan asked Cen Zhe to let him decide how many Source Seeds to auction and how many to keep, and Cen Zhe agreed to settle the sect’s share at the auction price.
• Cen Zhe invited Ye Qingxuan to request a reward, and Ye Qingxuan asked for special Spirit Root-increasing treasures, High-grade Five Elements Essence, Top-grade Spirit Crystals, or a Top-grade Spirit Treasure.
• Cen Zhe said he would try to obtain the special fruits and promised that Xuantian Sect would reward Ye Qingxuan with a Top-grade Spirit Treasure, while the other requested resources would be easy to secure.
• Ye Qingxuan proposed placing 108 Blessed Cultivator Legacy Secret Places throughout the Dihuan Realm and asked Cen Zhe to spread the news among Rogue Cultivators.
• Cen Zhe offered to help establish the secret places, but Ye Qingxuan declined and said he would arrange them himself without leaving the sect.

Ye Qingxuan reflected on how the Dihuan Realm’s sustainable protection of Spirit Veins had made its cultivation world flourish, then hoped it would transform before the Azure Devil Realm. Cen Zhe organized an Alliance Conference to discuss Ye Qingxuan’s New Blessed Cultivation Path and planned how to share its inheritance and limited Source Seeds.

• Ye Qingxuan gave Cen Zhe the promised Source Seeds, lifted the restrictions on Qingxuan Blessed Land, and watched his master depart.
• Ye Qingxuan considered how the Dihuan Realm’s protected Spirit Veins supported cultivation and prevented the decline afflicting other worlds.
• Ye Qingxuan hoped the Dihuan Realm would complete its transformation before the Azure Devil Realm.
• Cen Zhe contacted the hegemon-level forces and called an Alliance Conference for seven days later to discuss the New Blessed Cultivation Path.
• Cen Zhe gave Yao Qiudao the inheritance and explained the plan to place it in the Alliance Treasury, including precious Earth Immortal Legacy information.
• Cen Zhe decided to auction two-thirds of Ye Qingxuan’s limited Source Seeds so other sects could obtain some while Xuantian Sect kept a share.

Cen Zhe and Yao Qiudao planned how Xuantian Sect would use Ye Qingxuan’s Blessed Cultivator Legacy and Source Seeds to support its existing Blessed Cultivators and expand its reserves. Cen Zhe released the legacy and limited Source Seeds for exchange, stirring the sect’s disciples while its Elders remained cautious.

• Yao Qiudao and Cen Zhe discussed teaching existing Blessed Cultivators the methods for condensing Source Seeds and using Contribution Points to obtain the legacy’s other methods and resources.
• Cen Zhe gave Yao Qiudao a Seventh-grade Cave Heaven Origin Seed and a Seventh-grade Blessed Land Origin Seed so he could pursue the Blessed Cultivation - Artifact Path.
• Cen Zhe counted the remaining Origin Seeds, planned to seek more resources for Ye Qingxuan at the Alliance Conference, and deposited the legacy and available seeds in Xuantian Sect’s Exchange Treasury.
• Cen Zhe sealed away Source Seeds above Tier 5 and announced the Blessed Cultivator Legacy to cultivators across Xuantian Sect.
• Xuantian Sect’s disciples debated the three paths, the exchange prices, and the unknown identity of Ye Qingxuan, while the Elders held back from exchanging for seeds until they could assess the new path.

Bai Zichun suspected that Ye Qingxuan, his former Blessed Cultivator Courtyard disciple, was the newly revealed Ancestor of Blessed Cultivation, while Xuantian Sect announced major reforms and the New Blessed Cultivator Legacy. As old-era Blessed Cultivators reacted with regret or hope, Lin Fan embraced the new opportunities and began studying a method to earn resources for his Blessed Land.

• Bai Zichun read Xuantian Sect’s announcements about Ye Qingxuan’s legacy and the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard reforms, then messaged Ye Qingxuan and flew toward Qingxuan Blessed Land after receiving a reply.
• Xuantian Sect’s Blessed Cultivator Disciples received information about the three cultivation paths and the Gather Origin secret method, and many old-era disciples initially despaired that they could not follow the Heaven and Earth Path.
• Cen Zhe planned to publicize the legacy further so Blessed Cultivator Disciples could understand their new options and regain motivation.
• Lin Fan, who had grown his inherited Lingfan Blessed Land to the initial stage of Tier Three, studied the legacy arrays and realized they could help him develop it despite being unable to change paths.
• Lin Fan recognized that he could condense Origin Seeds with Gather Origin and sell them for Contribution Points, thanked Ye Qingxuan, and began comprehending the secret method.

Ye Qingxuan admitted to Bai Zichun that he was both the Ancestor of Blessed Cultivation and Cen Zhe’s Core Disciple, while Xuantian Sect’s elders learned his identity and were ordered not to disturb his cultivation. Cen Zhe then arrived at the Dihuan Realm Alliance conference to discuss rewards for the cultivator who opened the New Blessed Cultivation Path.

• Cen Zhe set Xuantian Sect’s external exchange price for source seeds equal to the price paid for seeds condensed by its Blessed Cultivator Disciples.
• Ye Qingxuan confirmed to Bai Zichun that he was the Ancestor of Blessed Cultivation and the Sect Master’s Core Disciple, and asked him to keep the identities secret.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Bai Zichun one Third-grade Cave Heaven Origin Seed and one Third-grade Blessed Land Origin Seed before returning to Qingxuan Cave Heaven to cultivate.
