Chapter Summaries

The Dihuan Realm Heavenly Dao perfected the rules of destiny, changing how fortune, karma, and cultivation assistance affected every living being and force. Ye Qingxuan understood the new rules and predicted that major powers would soon descend into turmoil, with powerful figures entering the struggle for power and profit.

• Sect Masters across the Dihuan Realm saw their destiny and Sect Fortune rise roughly tenfold, while their Enlightenment Assistance Effects surged about a hundredfold.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed the change and discerned how his four strands of destiny affected his fortune and cultivation assistance.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that slaughter, damage to the world, and the misdeeds of connected disciples or retainers could cause Fortune Backlash and Karmic Obstacles, while good deeds could increase destiny.
• Ye Qingxuan understood that forces could gain cultivation assistance by gathering and guiding living beings, but their Sect Fortune could also suffer backlash for the evil deeds of their members or orders.
• Ye Qingxuan concluded that stronger cultivators could better withstand karmic consequences under rules that applied equally to all, then predicted that major powers would soon face turmoil and powerful figures would compete for power and profit.

Ye Qingxuan foresaw that the perfected Way of Destiny would spur force masters and ambitious cultivators to divide the Dihuan Realm’s powers, and he left a trace of Spiritual Sense to watch over the Xuantian Sect before returning to cultivation. As turmoil spread to major forces, Luo Linger worried that the Xuantian Sect would split and considered giving up her position, while Zhong Shenxiu urged her not to retreat.

• Ye Qingxuan reasoned that stronger Sect Fortune would drive cultivators to challenge force masters and establish new powers, potentially spreading experts and inheritances across the Dihuan Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan left a wisp of Spiritual Sense to monitor the Xuantian Sect, then resumed secluded cultivation and aimed to reach the Immortal King Realm Peak within three thousand years.
• Cultivators across the Dihuan Realm began leaving small and medium forces to form new ones, while some forces changed masters or collapsed amid internal battles and karmic consequences.
• Over the next hundred years, Destiny Struggle divisions spread to higher-level and affiliated forces, while the major powers’ leaders watched without intervening.
• Luo Linger declined to intervene when told the Xingyun Sect was nearing a split, then wondered whether surrendering the Sect Master Position could save the Xuantian Sect.
• Zhong Shenxiu urged Luo Linger not to give up her position, noting that she had led the sect for years and had the support of several True Immortal Realm Ancestors.

Luo Linger accepted that Xuantian Sect could no longer avoid splitting and planned to surrender the Sect Master Position so the sect could retain its strongest rising prodigy. As the delayed True Immortal Council approached, Zhong Shenxiu urged her to seek Ye Qingxuan’s help, but she feared his intervention would provoke a destructive conflict.

• Luo Linger told Zhong Shenxiu she would give up the Sect Master Position if it could prevent Xuantian Sect from splitting.
• Zhong Shenxiu warned that her resignation would worsen the struggle among the sect’s nearly thousand True Immortal Realm Experts, including prodigies competing for leadership.
• The narration explained how forces across Dihuan Realm were dividing as True Immortal Experts left to establish new sects and families.
• Zhong Shenxiu urged Luo Linger to ask Ye Qingxuan to attend the coming Sect True Immortal Council and support her.
• Luo Linger refused to disturb Ye Qingxuan, believing the split was inevitable and that yielding her position could persuade one of the three Late True Immortal Realm prodigies to remain in Xuantian Sect.

Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu arrived at Xuantian Sect’s True Immortal Council, where the sect’s experts were preparing to choose a new master amid an agreed split. Ye Qingxuan considered intervening to protect Luo Linger, while the council awaited his arrival at the seat reserved for him.

• Zhong Shenxiu secretly messaged Ye Qingxuan, vowing to protect Luo Linger’s position after she refused his persuasion.
• Ye Qingxuan learned of the council and weighed Luo Linger’s claim to remain Sect Master against the sect’s future.
• Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu joined more than nine hundred True Immortal experts at the council, where the factions supporting and opposing her gathered.
• Li Jiuxiao, Long Pocang, and Nangong Wenya arrived as the leading candidates to succeed Luo Linger, with the defeated candidates and their supporters set to split from Xuantian Sect.
• The assembled experts wondered who would occupy the highest throne, which Xuantian Sect’s elders had reserved for Ye Qingxuan.

At the True Immortal Council, Luo Linger announced that Xuantian Sect’s True Immortal ancestors could leave to establish new forces and began preparing to step down as Sect Master. Ye Qingxuan suddenly appeared as a powerful Phantom Avatar, shocking the assembled experts and interrupting her announcement.

• Li Jiuxiao, Long Pocang, and Nangong Wenya took their seats and anticipated competing for the Xuantian Sect Master Position.
• Luo Linger explained the sect’s growing factional strife and the Dihuan Realm’s changing Way of Destiny, then granted True Immortal Realm Ancestors the right to establish new forces elsewhere.
• Luo Linger said she had held the Sect Master Position for over a hundred thousand years and was about to resign, while Zhong Shenxiu anxiously hoped his uncle would appear.
• Ye Qingxuan’s Phantom Avatar appeared at the highest seat and its immense pressure immobilized the True Immortal Realm Experts.
• Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu greeted Ye Qingxuan as their uncle, and the senior-generation experts identified him as the Ancestor of Blessed Cultivation.
• After Luo Linger introduced Ye Qingxuan, the New Generation True Immortal Realm Experts, including Li Jiuxiao, Long Pocang, and Nangong Wenya, bowed to him.

Ye Qingxuan settled the dispute over Xuantian Sect members leaving to found new forces by setting two ways to repay their karma to the sect. He rejected the attempt to replace Luo Linger as Sect Master and affirmed that she would keep the position and receive help to advance her cultivation.

• Ye Qingxuan declared that cultivators seeking to leave Xuantian Sect could choose between training a successor and fulfilling service, or sharing their future force’s destiny with the sect; both choices required repaying resources and answering three calls to battle.
• Ye Qingxuan required new forces to establish themselves at least three Great Provinces from Xuantian Sect and opened the same departure rules to cultivators at the Mahayana Realm or above.
• Luo Linger, Zhong Shenxiu, and the sect’s senior experts supported Ye Qingxuan’s rules, and other practitioners agreed to abide by them.
• Li Jiuxiao, Long Pocang, and Nangong Wenya asked Ye Qingxuan to approve a change of Sect Master, saying the council had been convened to choose a successor to Luo Linger.
• Ye Qingxuan rejected their request, praised Luo Linger’s long service, and said the sect’s destiny and his assistance would help her cultivation progress; the three challengers accepted his decision.

Ye Qingxuan ended the True Immortal Council by setting rules for Xuantian Sect experts who wished to leave, including compensation for taking disciples or Elders, and enforced his authority with overwhelming power. After summoning Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu, he reflected on the Immortal King experts who might arrive when the Dihuan Realm’s Great Dao Barrier dissipated in fewer than three thousand years, then led them through a Light Gate.

• Ye Qingxuan confirmed Luo Linger would remain Xuantian Sect Master and established rules requiring departing experts to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath and serve the sect three times.
• Luo Linger asked how departing experts could take disciples or Elders, and Ye Qingxuan required compensation worth at least three times the sect’s investment while forbidding the removal of Prodigies.
• Ye Qingxuan released enough aura pressure to suppress the True Immortal Realm experts, who bowed and pledged to obey his rules.
• Ye Qingxuan dismissed the council and secretly told Luo Linger to bring Zhong Shenxiu to the Mountain Peak Stone Pavilion.
• Ye Qingxuan considered the approaching dissipation of the Dihuan Realm’s Great Dao Barrier and his inability to reach the Immortal King Realm peak in time.
• Luo Linger brought Zhong Shenxiu to the pavilion, and Ye Qingxuan opened a Light Gate and stepped through.

Ye Qingxuan brought Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu to the Eternal Qingxuan Realm and gave them Great Dao Law Origin Imprints to speed their cultivation. As he entered deep cultivation and announced a Dao lecture a hundred years later, the Xuantian Sect began implementing its withdrawal rules, and its atmosphere grew more lively rather than weaker.

• Ye Qingxuan took Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu into the Eternal Qingxuan Realm, gave them yin and Yang Great Dao Law Origin Imprints and jade talismans, and invited them to hear him expound the Dao in a hundred years.
• Ye Qingxuan returned to his cultivation space, entered deep cultivation, and summoned his Mahayana Realm and True Immortal Realm followers to the future lecture.
• Zhong Shenxiu opened a Dao Field and fused with the Yang imprint, while Luo Linger returned to the Xuantian Sect to oversee the first experts applying to withdraw and their Heavenly Dao Oaths.
• Xuantian Sect disciples, elders, and long-stalled Mahayana Realm experts responded actively to the new withdrawal rules, considering founding forces of their own.
• The Xuantian Sect's atmosphere grew increasingly energetic as its members prepared for the changes, making the apparent split seem like a possible rebirth rather than a weakening.

As Xuantian Sect's split invigorated the sect, Long Pocang founded Pocang Sect on the remote Pocang Star while Luo Linger began cultivating in the Eternal Qingxuan Realm. Across the Dihuan Realm, the Destiny Struggle escalated into violent conflicts among major forces.

• Mahayana Realm and True Immortal Realm experts left Xuantian Sect to establish new forces, while the sect's remaining disciples and elders grew more active in cultivation and missions.
• Long Pocang traveled to the Starry Sky Depths, chose Pocang Star as his stronghold, and brought more than a hundred thousand cultivators and tens of billions of mortals there.
• Long Pocang founded Pocang Sect and saw its gathered Destiny Power grow, though it initially remained far below what he had expected.
• Luo Linger announced her closed-door cultivation, then secretly entered the Eternal Qingxuan Realm to attempt to fuse with the Great Dao Law Imprint.
• Major forces across the Dihuan Realm split or descended into internal wars as True Immortal Realm experts fought to break away and pursue the Destiny Struggle.

As the ten-thousand-year mark since the Dihuan Realm’s ascension approached, Ye Qingxuan preached the Dao for a hundred years to his gathered followers in the Eternal Qingxuan Realm, then returned to cultivation. The realm’s conflicts ended and new forces rose, while the Great Dao Barrier neared its disappearance.

• Ye Qingxuan ignored the Dihuan Realm’s internal conflicts and prepared for his approaching Dao sermon as his followers gathered atop Jianmu.
• Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu discovered that the Eternal Qingxuan Realm’s Realm Gates still connected across the Dihuan Realm, and they were astonished by Ye Qingxuan’s many True Immortal subordinates and three Immortal Realm Spirit Beasts.
• Liu Cai'er proposed exploring the Dihuan Realm’s distant starry sky after the sermon, and Ye Qingshuang, Ye Qingxiao, and Ye Xiaoging arrived to wait for Ye Qingxuan.
• Ye Qingxuan preached the Dao for a hundred years, drawing the gathered cultivators and living creatures into Dao enlightenment before returning to his Cultivation Dojo to resume closed-door cultivation.
• The listeners awakened over the following decades, and Luo Linger and Zhong Shenxiu returned to cultivation after realizing how much they had gained.
• Over two thousand years passed as the Dihuan Realm’s internal warfare ended and new forces developed, while nearly ten thousand years had elapsed since its ascension and the Great Dao Barrier neared vanishing.

As the Great Dao Barrier around Dihuan Realm began to dissipate, Immortal King Void Thought Incarnations across the realm waited for their main bodies to descend. Ye Qingxuan sensed the barrier’s collapse but, still short of the Immortal King Realm Peak, withdrew to continue cultivating as the barrier vanished.

• Immortal King Void Thought Incarnations across Dihuan Realm secretly prepared for their main bodies to arrive when the Great Dao Barrier disappeared.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed the barrier weakening through his World Map and went out into the Chaos Sea to observe it.
• Ye Qingxuan considered eliminating the hidden Immortal King Void Thoughts but held back because Azure Devil Realm might support them.
• Ye Qingxuan judged that he needed more time to reach the Immortal King Realm Peak, drew the World Map back into his body, and returned to Dihuan Realm.
• The Great Dao Barrier surrounding Dihuan Realm finally dissipated.

Immortal King Void Thought Incarnations summoned their main bodies from distant Great Thousand Realms to Dihuan Realm, where the arrivals clashed with their auras. Ye Qingxuan withdrew as the Dihuan Realm Heavenly Dao manifested its punishment, and Void Source King proposed that the Immortal Kings speak in the chaos.

• The Immortal King Void Thought Incarnations reconnected with their main bodies, and altars appeared across Dihuan Realm to summon the Immortal Kings.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed the summoning, decided to avoid the newcomers, and vanished from Dihuan Realm.
• The Immortal Kings descended through the altars, their Great Dao pressure overwhelming nearby True Immortal Realm Experts.
• Void Source King recognized other Human Race, Devil Race, and allied Immortal Kings and declared that outsiders should not interfere in Dihuan Realm.
• The Immortal Kings’ auras clashed until the Dihuan Realm Heavenly Dao manifested Heavenly Punishment above them.
• Void Source King restrained his aura and told the others to speak in the chaos.

After the Immortal Kings left the Dihuan Realm to avoid damaging it, they argued in the Chaos Sea over who would claim the newly ascended Great Thousand Realm. The Human Race and Devil Race failed to win over the Tiger Clan and Wood Spirit Clan, and the rival factions began to clash.

• Void Source King led the Immortal Kings out of the Dihuan Realm, and the realm’s Heavenly Dao pressure faded as its inhabitants escaped the area.
• The Immortal Kings’ auras stirred Chaos currents into calamities that battered the Dihuan Realm’s World Crystal Wall.
• Heavenly Devil King challenged Void Source King, but Void Source King and the other Human Race Immortal Kings declared that the Dihuan Realm belonged under Human Race control.
• Heavenly Devil King offered the Tiger Clan and Wood Spirit Clan a chance to establish lineages and territories in the realm if they helped the Devil Race claim it.
• The Tiger Clan and Wood Spirit Clan Immortal Kings joined the Devil Race’s side after the Human Race declined to recruit them.
• The opposing Immortal Kings mobilized their Great Dao Laws and tried to pull one another into their Immortal King Domains.

Ye Qingxuan watched more than a dozen Immortal Kings clash outside Dihuan Realm, while its Heavenly Dao reinforced the realm’s World Crystal Wall. The Immortal Kings discovered Azure Devil Realm behind a Great Dao Barrier and agreed to wait for it to dissipate before deciding what to do, as Ye Qingxuan realized they had found it.

• More than a dozen Immortal Kings fought in the Chaos Sea, and Dihuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao reinforced its World Crystal Wall against their clashes.
• Ye Qingxuan observed the battle and continued considering how Dihuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao protected the world, hoping the Immortal Kings would keep fighting while he cultivated.
• The Immortal Kings sensed a Great Dao Barrier near Dihuan Realm, stopped fighting, and flew over to investigate it.
• Void Source King identified the barrier as protection for a world advancing to Great Thousand Realm, and the Immortal Kings learned from Dihuan Realm’s records about Azure Devil Realm and its history with Dihuan Realm.
• Heavenly Devil King proposed waiting until Azure Devil Realm’s barrier dissipated before deciding how to proceed, and Void Source King and Savage Sword King agreed on behalf of the Human Race Immortal Kings.
• Ye Qingxuan realized that the Immortal Kings had discovered Azure Devil Realm and looked toward the South Barbarian Domain, where it bordered Dihuan Realm.

Ye Qingxuan stayed hidden while outsider Immortal Kings unsettled Dihuan Realm, and he told Luo Linger that the expert near Xuantian Sect was an Immortal King. Years later, the barrier around Azure Devil Realm vanished, and the two realms began devouring each other as the Immortal Kings prepared for the changed situation.

• Ye Qingxuan judged that the Immortal Kings’ conflict could devastate Dihuan Realm, so he remained in hiding rather than cultivate in seclusion.
• Luo Linger visited Ye Qingxuan to ask about the unknown expert in the Eastern Domain, and he revealed that the expert was an Immortal King.
• News of unknown experts spread across Dihuan Realm, prompting major powers to monitor their territories while several years passed without further reports.
• The Great Dao Barrier around Azure Devil Realm vanished, allowing the Immortal Kings to reconnect with their Void Thought clones there.
• Void Source King and Savage Sword King considered whether a newly promoted native Immortal King had caused an Immortal King’s clone to perish.
• Heavenly Devil King secretly asked Xue Cangwang to slow and conceal his descent, and Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm began devouring one another.

The Heavenly Devil King and Void Source King agreed to settle their rivalry through a contest between the Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm, with each side cultivating the realms’ native people and letting them fight. After the Immortal Kings swore oaths to limit their interference, Void Source King proposed creating battlefields at the border between the realms for cultivators of different levels.

• The Heavenly Devil King proposed using the two realms as a chessboard and their native cultivators as pieces, with the losing side withdrawing after losing control of more than half its realm.
• The Heavenly Devil King revealed that Xue Cangwang, a Late Immortal King from Mo Yuan Great Thousand Realm, was descending into the Azure Devil Realm.
• Void Source King consulted the Human Race Immortal Kings, who agreed to the contest, and added rules forbidding the sides from supplying outside resources or directly interfering in conflicts between the realms.
• Xue Cangwang arrived before the Immortal Kings, accepted the proposed rules, and joined them in establishing Immortal King Dao Oaths.
• As the Heavenly Devil King prepared to lead his side to the Azure Devil Realm, Void Source King called him back and proposed creating border battlefields for cultivators of different levels.

Void Source King and Heavenly Devil King agreed to divide the border between Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm into seven cultivation-restricted war zones, where each side’s victories would let its Heavenly Dao claim territory. The Human Race Immortal Kings prepared Dihuan Realm’s defenses and announced the invasion to its cultivators, then Void Source King summoned all Human Race True Immortals to the starry sky.

• Void Source King proposed separating cultivators by cultivation level, and Heavenly Devil King agreed to create seven connected war zones across both realms.
• More than a dozen Immortal Kings expanded the border and carved out the seven war zones, inscribing laws to restrict entry and transfer conquered territory to the victor’s Heavenly Dao.
• Void Source King and the other Human Race Immortal Kings decided to prioritize mobilizing Dihuan Realm’s cultivators and establishing defenses, while postponing the founding of Immortal King Orthodox Lineages.
• Earth Dome King suggested seeking the unknown Immortal King born in Dihuan Realm, but Void Source King explained that the Immortal King Dao Oath prevented that expert from intervening.
• The Human Race Immortal Kings sent news of the Azure Devil Realm invasion and the stakes of defeat to every cultivator in Dihuan Realm.
• Void Source King summoned all Human Race True Immortal Realm cultivators in Dihuan Realm to the starry sky and threatened execution for disobedience.

Void Source King summoned Dihuan Realm’s True Immortals and outlined preparations for the coming war with the Azure Devil Realm. He ordered them to establish defenses across seven war zones and left them to mobilize troops, while the seven Human Race Immortal Kings planned to found lineages in seven days.

• Void Source King used the Heavenly Dao’s aid to summon all True Immortals in Dihuan Realm, and Luo Linger led Xuantian Sect’s experts through a Space Tunnel to attend.
• The seven Human Race Immortal Kings gathered the True Immortals in the starry sky, where Void Source King explained that Immortal Kings could not interfere directly in the Two Realm War.
• Void Source King divided the boundary between the realms into seven war zones by cultivation level and ordered Dihuan Realm to send troops to establish footholds within one day.
• Void Source King instructed the True Immortals to prioritize combat-ready cultivators, forge Mahayana-level Great Passes, and prepare defensive treasures for the war zones.
• Void Source King said the seven Immortal Kings would establish Orthodox Lineages in seven days and offer Dao teachings, then warned that anyone who neglected the war preparations would be executed.

The Dihuan Realm mobilized its cultivators and resources for the Azure Devil Realm invasion as fighting broke out across the Border Pass Battlefield. As the first clashes became brutally intense, Dihuan Realm experts turned to the Seven Immortal Kings to establish Great Passes in the war zones.

• Void Source King ordered the True Immortal Realm Experts to organize the Dihuan Realm for the war, and they returned to their regions through the Opened Space Tunnels.
• Luo Linger and Xuantian Sect's True Immortal Realm Experts selected cultivators for the Border Pass Battlefield, while Zhong Shenxiu prepared the strongest experts and equipped the departing forces with supplies.
• Luo Linger ordered experts skilled in Formation Dao and Artifact Dao to plan the Great Passes, then led others to recruit more cultivators from the surrounding regions.
• Ye Qingxuan secretly gathered information, decided to stay concealed until he reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, and watched as the two realms' forces mobilized.
• Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm cultivators began slaughtering one another across the Major War Zones, with the lower-level battles becoming especially brutal.
• True Immortal Realm Experts skilled in Formation Dao and Artifact Dao met with Void Source King and the other Seven Immortal Kings to decide how to establish the first Great Passes.

The Human Race dismantled its Border Pass Great Wall to create five Great Passes for the war zones below the Immortal Realm, giving exhausted cultivators places to retreat and recover. The Azure Devil Race built matching fortresses, and while lower-level fighters began a temporary ceasefire after catastrophic losses, battles among stronger cultivators continued.

• Void Source King and the other Human Race Immortal Kings approved dismantling the Border Pass Great Wall, and Dihuan Realm True Immortal experts refined five Mahayana Level Great Passes.
• The Human Race established the Great Passes near the front lines, allowing exhausted cultivators to withdraw while reinforcements rushed into battle.
• The Azure Devil Race's True Immortal Artifacts attacked the new fortresses, but the Human Race intercepted them with artifacts it had prepared in advance.
• True Immortal experts began refining additional Great Passes, while the Azure Devil Race established its own fortresses in the five war zones.
• After fewer than three days of fighting had killed at least hundreds of billions of mid- and low-level cultivators, fighters in those zones temporarily withdrew to recover as higher-level battles continued.
