Chapter Summaries

After the Dihuan Realm survived its First Great Thousand Tribulation, it entered the Spirit Growth Period of its Second Round of Nirvana, expanding and reviving its spiritual energy. The revival let cultivators in remote villages begin pursuing the Immortal Path again, but stronger heavenly suppression left Qi Refining cultivators struggling to fly or use their powers effectively.

• The Dihuan Realm endured the Supreme Dao Tribulation for three years, then passed its First Great Thousand Tribulation and began its Second Round of Nirvana.
• The Dihuan Realm expanded, its Spirit Veins advanced, and the Tier 10 Spirit Vein on Xuantian Peak transformed into a Low-grade Immortal Vein, prompting Liu Tai'an to return and oversee it.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed that the World Crystal Wall and Spirit Veins had strengthened, and heaven and earth spiritual energy began reviving across the Dihuan Realm.
• In Zhenyun Village, Fan'er sensed the revival, reached Qi Refining Layer One, and told the white-haired village chief, who hurried to gather the other villagers with Spirit Roots.
• Cultivators across the Dihuan Realm discovered that increased heavenly suppression had stopped many Qi Refining cultivators from flying and greatly weakened their Spiritual Power Attacks.

After Dihuan Realm entered its Second Round of Nirvana, its spiritual energy and territory expanded while the major powers ceased hostilities and pursued cultivation. Three hundred years later, Nie Xiaofeng faced Jian Xuzi and three allied Golden Core cultivators, and the chapter ended with their combined attack shattering his Blood Spirit Shield.

• Dihuan Realm’s improved cultivation environment and expanding resources prompted major powers to cease their conflicts and enter Closed-door Cultivation.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to Qingxuan Cave Heaven and began another round of Closed-door Cultivation as Dihuan Realm’s spiritual energy and territory continued to grow.
• Over three hundred years, Nie Xiaofeng hunted Human Race Cultivators in Tai'an Mountain Range and advanced to the Late Golden Core Realm, earning the name Blood Demon.
• Nie Xiaofeng attacked Jian Xuzi and threatened Li Jian Sect, but three allied Golden Core Realm Cultivators arrived to help Jian Xuzi surround him.
• Nie Xiaofeng attempted to escape using Blood Spirit Secret Art, but Jian Xuzi revealed that he had also reached the Late Golden Core Realm and struck with the Taiyi Azure Light Sword.
• Jian Xuzi and the three reinforcements shattered Nie Xiaofeng’s Blood Spirit Shield and pressed their attack through the surging Energy Tides.

Nie Xiaofeng escaped Jian Xuzi and the other Golden Core experts, then recovered by consuming cultivators’ flesh and blood. Before leaving the Tai’an Mountain Range, he forced nine abducted Qi Refining cultivators to use the Blood Spirit Art, drawing them into his influence and threatening to destabilize the region.

• Nie Xiaofeng escaped the four Golden Core cultivators using Blood Escape, and Jian Xuzi organized the Tai’an Mountain Range forces to hunt him down.
• In a distant valley, Nie Xiaofeng recovered from his injuries by seeking cultivators’ flesh and blood, then decided he could not safely remain in the region.
• Nie Xiaofeng abducted seventeen Qi Refining cultivators and gave them seven days to convert to the Blood Spirit Art, promising death to those who failed.
• After eight captives died during the conversion, Nie Xiaofeng forced the nine survivors to cultivate by absorbing flesh and blood from corpses.
• Some of the nine began cooperating as their cultivation grew, and Nie Xiaofeng planned to use their complicity to keep the Tai’an Mountain Range in turmoil.

Nie Xiaofeng fled the Tai'an Mountain Range after secretly cultivating nine Blood Spirit Art followers, while Ye Qingxuan attended Yao Qiudao’s Ascension Ceremony and watched him ascend. Ye Qingxuan returned to seclusion as the Dihuan Realm continued to expand and its cultivation world recovered over the following centuries.

• Nie Xiaofeng erased the nine followers’ memories of one another, returned them separately to where they had been abducted, and left the Tai'an Mountain Range after vowing to return when he reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan received Liu Tai'an’s invitation to Yao Qiudao’s Ascension Ceremony and reflected on the dangers awaiting those who ascended to the Chaos Continent.
• Three months later, Ye Qingxuan joined Liu Tai'an and the Xuantian Sect Elders at Xuantian Peak, where Yao Qiudao appeared as a True Immortal Realm expert.
• Yao Qiudao opened a passage through the Dihuan Realm’s Void Realm and ascended, telling Ye Qingxuan that he would wait for him in the Upper Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to Qingxuan Cave Heaven to cultivate, while the Dihuan Realm expanded, its conflicts subsided, and its cultivator population and major powers grew.

Six thousand years after the Dihuan Realm began its second Nirvana, its territory and cultivator population had grown enormously, while the new Spiritual Breath Period prompted forces to explore and settle the Endless Sea Domain. Li Daoyuan kept the Qingxuan Sect out of the explorers’ affairs as powerful factions began fighting over resource-rich continents.

• Mahayana Realm Experts and other cultivators continued breaking through and ascending, while Demon Cultivators spread through remote regions and nearby forces organized campaigns against them.
• The Dihuan Realm entered the Spiritual Breath Period, and its expanded territory, rising Heaven and Earth Suppression, and isolated regions reshaped relations between its powers.
• Li Daoyuan declined to involve the Qingxuan Sect in the growing exploration of unknown seas, judging that the explorers sought Spirit Veins ahead of the coming spiritual-energy decline.
• Forces from across the Dihuan Realm and the Endless Sea Domain sent cultivators and mortals to settle new islands and continents in the Deep Sea Domain.
• Factions fought over resource-rich Large Continents, drawing Void Glimpse Realm, Void Comprehension Realm, Tribulation Crossing Realm, and Mahayana Realm Experts into the conflicts without causing widespread turmoil.

Nie Xiaofeng recalled his centuries-long conflict with Jian Xuzi and how the two divided Tai'an Mountain Range after neither could defeat the other. As Dihuan Realm entered the late Spiritual Breath Period and its spiritual energy began declining, Nie Xiaofeng waited for the Spirit Deprivation State to launch the Blood Demon Cult’s expansion; another 2,500 years passed.

• Nie Xiaofeng remembered that Jian Xuzi had reached the Void Glimpse Realm first, while Nie Xiaofeng later attained it by comprehending the Slaughter Rule.
• Nie Xiaofeng returned to Tai'an Mountain Range and fought Jian Xuzi for months, then forced an agreement dividing the region into eastern and western territories.
• Nie Xiaofeng continued building the Blood Demon Cult by abducting cultivators from outside Tai'an Mountain Range and gathering surviving followers and planted agents.
• Nie Xiaofeng sensed spiritual energy declining and planned to expand the Blood Demon Cult when the region entered the Spirit Deprivation State.
• Dihuan Realm’s late Spiritual Breath Period continued with limited conflict as vast new lands and Spirit Veins remained unclaimed, and another 2,500 years passed.

Dihuan Realm completed its second nirvana and entered its third, reviving its Spiritual Energy while expanding and imposing stronger Heaven and Earth Suppression. Ye Qingxuan learned that Ye Qingshuang planned to travel alone to seek a breakthrough from the Tribulation Crossing Realm Peak.

• As Spiritual Energy vanished in remote regions, Demon Cultivator Forces such as Nie Xiaofeng's Blood Demon Sect recruited many young Spirit Root Possessors, while Dihuan Realm's support helped Jian Xuzi and other cultivators resist their expansion.
• A tremor from Dihuan Realm's Origin Space awakened experts, and Ye Qingxuan reflected on the realm's cycles and his own progress in comprehending Rules and Great Dao Laws.
• After three years of upheaval, Dihuan Realm's World Crystal Wall and Spirit Veins transformed, its Spiritual Energy revived, and the world entered its third nirvana with stronger suppression that slowed cultivators' movement.
• Ye Qingxuan visited Ye Qingshuang, who explained that her cultivation had stalled at the Tribulation Crossing Realm Peak for a thousand years and that she wanted to travel alone for insight.

Ye Qingxuan sent Ye Qingshuang and four of his younger subordinates out to travel in hopes that they would improve their cultivation, secretly arranging protection for them. He then assessed how his other subordinates had progressed, noting Luo Tian and Ye Qingxiao’s breakthroughs while Ye Xiaoging remained at the early Void Comprehension Realm.

• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingshuang his Natal Magic Treasure World Map for protection as she left to travel through the Dihuan Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan summoned Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er, and told them to seek opportunities to advance beyond the Void Comprehension Realm Peak.
• Ye Qingxuan refused Liu Cai'er's request to bring Azure Dragon, Xiao Kong, and Xiao Ling, then secretly sent a Tribulation Crossing Realm Clone to guard the four travelers.
• Ye Qingxuan surveyed his subordinates and found that most remained in the Void Glimpse or Void Comprehension Realm, while Luo Tian had become the only Xingluo Dongxuan City native under his command to reach the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan noted that Ye Qingxiao had reached the Middle Tribulation Crossing Realm, while Ye Xiaoging's damaged foundation had healed but her cultivation remained at the early Void Comprehension Realm.

Ye Qingxuan discovered that his ten transformed Spirit Turtles had gained a weakened form of Myriad Laws Immunity and named them Glazed Immortal Turtles. As the Dihuan Realm entered its third Nirvana, Ye Qingshuang reached the Mahayana Realm, while Ye Qingxuan began forging Spirit Treasures from Demonic Beast corpses.

• Ye Qingxuan found that the ten Spirit Turtles had transformed into glazed creatures with weakened Myriad Laws Immunity and named them Glazed Immortal Turtles.
• Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er set out to travel the Dihuan Realm, beginning in the East Extremity Domain, and Ye Qingxuan's Clone sent them on their way with a Jade Talisman.
• As the Dihuan Realm's spiritual energy revived, its Immortal Path flourished and the number of cultivators, especially High-level Cultivators, continued to grow.
• Ye Qingshuang perfected her Life Rule and Slaughter Rule after a thousand years of training, returned to Qingxuan Cave Heaven, and broke through to the Mahayana Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan used Demonic Beast corpses to forge Spirit Treasures, naming his first creation, a Three-Star Mid-grade long blade, the Tiger Soul Blade.
• Over the next thousand years, Ye Qingxuan forged many more Mid-grade Spirit Treasures in his Cave Mansion.

Ye Qingxuan completed the Thunder Dragon Spear and continued refining talismans as the Dihuan Realm’s third Nirvana neared its end. While traveling through the South Barbarian Domain, Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er discovered a massacre marked by Demonic Fiend Qi and set out to find the Azure Devil Race’s hidden presence.

• Ye Qingxuan refined twenty-three High-grade Spirit Treasures, then used a Mahayana Realm Flood Dragon corpse to create the Top-grade Spirit Treasure Thunder Dragon Spear.
• Ye Qingxuan began refining High-grade Talismans from demonic beast hides and Demonic Beast Essence Blood while leaving weaker beast corpses for his subordinates to practice with.
• The Dihuan Realm expanded and its spiritual energy increased as its third Nirvana approached its end.
• Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er traveled through the South Barbarian Domain after advancing to the Tribulation Crossing Realm and chose to explore the Endless Sea Domain.
• The four sensed Demonic Fiend Qi near Fenghai Prefecture and found a ruined city where cultivators and mortals had been tortured and stripped of their flesh.
• Ye Zhaoheng identified Devil Qi mixed with spiritual energy and Negative Energy in the Demonic Fiend Qi, and Ye Zhaoyu vowed to find the Azure Devil Race hiding there.

Ye Zhaoheng and his companions traced demonic fiend qi from a massacred city to the Blood Spirit Cult’s hidden base, where they discovered its alliance with the Azure Devil Race. They seized control of everyone in the Blood Spirit Realm, including Blood Spirit Child and the dying Azure Devil expert, leaving the cultists terrified.

• Ye Zhaoheng buried the city’s wreckage, and Su Xingzi explained that the Blood Spirit Cult had slaughtered its residents and escaped after clashing with him.
• Ye Zhaoheng used Trace Origin on the demonic fiend qi, leading Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er to a hidden spatial portal in a valley.
• Ye Zhaoyu found the portal, and the four entered a small world filled with demonic qi, Blood Spirit Cult cultivators, and a blood pool sustaining an Azure Devil Race expert.
• Ye Zhaoheng recognized the Blood Spirit Cult’s connection to the Azure Devil Race and angrily confronted its followers.
• Rule Power seized Blood Spirit Child, the Azure Devil expert, and the Blood Spirit Cult cultivators, dragging them toward an unknown destination.

Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er brought Blood Spirit Child, an Azure Devil Race being, and over ten thousand Blood Spirit Cult members to the Qingyun Plain Cultivation World for public punishment. As the realm’s cultivators watched, the four also began identifying and capturing hidden Blood Spirit Cult members, leaving the work of rooting out any remaining followers to the local powers.

• Ye Zhaoheng destroyed the Blood Spirit Cult’s collapsing Small World, and the four took its prisoners outside before it fell apart.
• The four agreed that the Blood Spirit Cult members deserved severe punishment for devouring human flesh and blood and colluding with the Azure Devil Race.
• Ye Zhaoheng announced the cult’s crimes across the Qingyun Plain Cultivation World and displayed the prisoners in projections visible throughout the realm.
• The four inflicted prolonged punishment on the prisoners, while cultivators across the realm celebrated or mourned their loved ones and some hidden cult members trembled in fear.
• Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er detected suspicious cultivators, searched them for secrets, and added confirmed Blood Spirit Cult members to the prisoners being punished.

Ye Qingxuan’s clone broke the restriction on an Azure Devil Race cultivator and learned that hidden Azure Devil Race experts were still influencing humans toward the Demonic Path, while Ye Qingxuan remained uneasy about the Blood Spirit Art. The chapter then described how the Dihuan Realm’s vast expansion left its regions increasingly isolated and even weakened the control of major powers.

• Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er tortured the Blood Spirit Cult cultivators until their life forces collapsed, and Ye Zhaoheng killed Blood Spirit Child.
• Ye Qingxuan appeared, broke the Mahayana Realm restriction in the Azure Devil Race cultivator’s consciousness sea, and searched its memories before the cultivator’s primordial spirit shattered.
• Ye Qingxuan ordered Ye Zhaoheng, Ye Zhaoyu, Liu Yun'er, and Liu Cai'er to keep traveling through the Dihuan Realm and kill Azure Devil Race experts and demon cultivators they found.
• Ye Zhaoheng and the others continued toward the Endless Sea Domain and planned to travel on to the West Wilderness Domain, while Ye Qingxuan’s main body worried that the Blood Spirit Art concealed something.
• After the Third Nirvana Spirit Growth Period ended, the Dihuan Realm remained prosperous but had become so vast and sparsely populated that remote communities were isolated and the Xuantian Sect’s control over its territories weakened.

After ten thousand years of cultivation, Ji Dongming comprehended the Great Dao Laws and planned to lead Tianming Sect past Xuantian Sect. Xiao Aotian reported that the sect had grown stronger, but its distant foundation in Diyuan State had lost contact because the expanded Dihuan Realm had made long-distance travel impossible.

• Ji Dongming emerged from seclusion after comprehending the Great Dao Laws and declared that Tianming Sect was closing the gap with Xuantian Sect.
• Ji Dongming invoked his wager with Xiao Aotian, requiring him to support Ji Dongming's decisions for Tianming Sect.
• Ji Dongming asked how Tianming Sect and its foundation in Diyuan State had developed during his ten-thousand-year retreat.
• Xiao Aotian reported that Li Daoyun had become a Mahayana Realm Expert, bringing Tianming Sect's total to three, while its Tribulation Crossing Realm Elders had increased to forty-three.
• Xiao Aotian explained that the Diyuan State foundation had lost contact because the Dihuan Realm's size and suppression power had rendered Realm Gates and State-level Teleportation Arrays unable to connect distant states.
• Ji Dongming reacted in disbelief as he realized how vastly the Dihuan Realm had expanded during his seclusion.

Ji Dongming ordered Xiao Aotian and Li Daoyun to withdraw Tianming Sect’s forces from Diyuan State and secretly consolidate control of Tongtian State, believing Xuantian Sect could no longer dominate its vast territory. Across the Dihuan Realm, rising provincial forces were testing the weakened Hegemon-level Forces, and Mahayana experts were plotting to ambush patrols from three defiant sects.

• Xiao Aotian told Ji Dongming that Tongtian State had grown as large as the former Eastern Domain, though the Dihuan Realm had not yet ascended to the Great Thousand Realm.
• Ji Dongming ordered Xiao Aotian to join Li Daoyun in withdrawing Tianming Sect’s forces from Diyuan State and to focus on secretly controlling Tongtian State.
• Ji Dongming privately worried that Li Daoyun might establish an independent power in distant Diyuan State if Tianming Sect’s forces remained there.
• The narration explained that many Hegemon-level Forces tolerated secret expansion in distant provinces because their former dominance had weakened, while Xuansha Sect had largely abandoned control of its outlying provinces.
• Tianyuan Sect, Daoxuan Sect, and Qianyuan Sect sent Mahayana Realm experts with Immortal Artifacts to patrol their territories, provoking powerful provincial forces to form secret alliances and plan ambushes.

Wang Daoyun and the Tianyuan Mirror were besieged by dozens of Mahayana Realm Experts, including three who had comprehended Great Dao Laws. Tianyuan Sect reinforcements arrived just before he could detonate the artifact, but the Tianyuan Mirror was severely damaged and unusable for tens of thousands of years.

• Dozens of Mahayana Realm Experts ambushed Wang Daoyun, but the Tianyuan Mirror repelled them, while three attackers with Great Dao Laws managed to withstand its power.
• Wang Daoyun failed to escape the attackers’ Spatial Blockade and sent a distress message to the Tianyuan Sect as the three Venerables led the others in a sustained assault.
• After dozens of days of attacks weakened the Tianyuan Mirror’s shield, Wang Daoyun prepared to detonate himself and the artifact rather than let it fall into enemy hands.
• Three Tianyuan Sect experts arrived carrying Immortal Artifacts, forcing the attackers to retreat before Wang Daoyun could act.
• Wang Daoyun told the reinforcements that the Tianyuan Mirror’s reserves were exhausted and its main body was severely injured, so they left for the Tianyuan Sect.

The Tianyuan Sect and Daoxuan Sect’s conflict with the Pseudo Hegemon-level Forces escalated into a prolonged, realm-matched struggle, while news of their clashes discouraged similar provocations elsewhere. Meanwhile, Ye Qingxuan used his newly advanced Immortal Artifact, the World Map, to move Qingxuan Continent westward toward the Dihuan Realm’s central regions.

• The Tianyuan Sect and Daoxuan Sect’s Mahayana Realm Experts survived ambushes, but their Immortal Artifacts were damaged, prompting both sects to stop sending lone experts to intimidate provincial forces.
• The conflict spread among cultivators across both territories, and the Tianyuan Sect and Daoxuan Sect attacked Pseudo Hegemon-level Forces that used coercion against smaller sects.
• The opposing forces agreed that cultivators could fight only opponents within the same great realm, beginning a prolonged struggle between equivalent ranks.
• After one or two hundred years, news of the conflict reached other Hegemon-level territories, leading ambitious Pseudo Hegemon-level Forces there to curb their provocations.
• Ye Qingxuan’s World Map, which had advanced to Immortal Artifact rank, severed Qingxuan Continent’s spatial connections and began moving it westward through the Endless Sea Domain.

After returning to the hidden Small World, Nie Xiaofeng attempted to devour the sleeping Moxing Yuan and use his power to break through to the Void Comprehension Realm. The Blood Spirit Art unexpectedly shattered Moxing Yuan’s protective rules, awakening him as Nie Xiaofeng accelerated the devouring.

• Nie Xiaofeng returned to the Small World after more than twenty thousand years, hoping Moxing Yuan had died and could provide the power he needed to break through.
• Nie Xiaofeng found Moxing Yuan alive but trapped in a deep sleep, sustained by the roots of a Demon Essence Tree.
• Nie Xiaofeng cautiously used the Blood Spirit Art to probe and erode Moxing Yuan’s protective rules, but made little progress over a month.
• The Blood Spirit Art suddenly accelerated on its own and broke through Moxing Yuan’s protective rules, rapidly drawing out his flesh and blood.
• Moxing Yuan awakened as his flesh and blood were devoured, but Nie Xiaofeng resolved to continue because Jian Xuzi was nearing a breakthrough.
• Nie Xiaofeng increased the speed of his devouring, while Moxing Yuan protested that he refused to accept his impending death.

Nie Xiaofeng’s Blood Spirit Art turned against him, allowing Xue Cangwang’s Void Thought to devour his consciousness and take over his body. Xue Cangwang emerged in the Dihuan Realm, a world ascending to the Great Thousand Realm, and planned to seize it once its protective barrier fell.

• Nie Xiaofeng’s Slaughter Rule failed to evolve, and the immense energy and negative forces accumulating within him put his mind at risk.
• When Nie Xiaofeng tried to vent the energy, the Blood Spirit Art seized control and sent Crimson Energy, Devil Qi, and other negative forces into his consciousness sea.
• The invading forces shattered Nie Xiaofeng’s protection and devoured his Primordial Spirit; three days later, Xue Cangwang’s Void Thought took over his body.
• Xue Cangwang explained how his Void Thoughts used the Blood Spirit Art to create Blood Spirit Child Clones and said the Dihuan Realm’s barrier prevented him from contacting his main body.
• Xue Cangwang left the spatial node, surveyed the ascending Dihuan Realm, and resolved to occupy it when its Great Dao Law Barrier dissipated.

Xue Cangwang took control of Nie Xiaofeng’s body, broke through to the Void Comprehension Realm, and headed to conquer the Tai'an Mountain Range. He attacked Jian Xuzi and devastated the region, leaving Jian Xuzi fighting to protect the remaining Human Race cultivators as Xue Cangwang prepared a hidden killing blow.

• Xue Cangwang seized Nie Xiaofeng’s body, cultivated the Blood Rule, and broke through to the Void Comprehension Realm.
• Xue Cangwang survived the resulting Lightning Tribulation and flew to the Tai'an Mountain Range to claim it for himself.
• Jian Xuzi confronted Xue Cangwang, but Xue Cangwang rejected their previous agreement and unleashed the Nether Blood Sea across the Tai'an Mountain Range.
• Xue Cangwang’s attack killed billions of mortals and nearly all the region’s cultivators, including every member of the Blood Demon Sect, while Jian Xuzi fought to save the survivors.
• Xue Cangwang used the blood sea to distract Jian Xuzi and secretly gathered its power for a fatal strike.
