Chapter Summaries

After Xuantian Sect received a Blood-breaking Sword warning that the Azure Devil Race had invaded Xuanmu Realm, Cen Zhe opened a passage to rescue the surviving children and sent Spirit Transformation Realm disciples to fight. The rescue succeeded, but disciples fell in battle, and Moxie revealed that the invasion was part of a wider plan to transform nine lesser realms and renew the war on the Outer Realm Battlefield.

• Ye Qingxuan and Xuantian Sect's Elders sensed the Blood-breaking Sword's arrival, and Sect Master Cen Zhe learned from it that the Azure Devil Race had devastated Xuanmu Realm.
• Cen Zhe rang Xuantian Sect's emergency bells and used the Xuantian Sword to open a passage to Xuanmu Realm, while Moxie tried to disrupt it and ordered the remaining children slaughtered.
• Xuantian Sect's Formation Hall Elders anchored the passage, and Cen Zhe ordered the Spirit Transformation Realm disciples to descend and slay demons.
• Xuantian Sect's disciples rescued the surviving children, but several True Inheritance Disciples died; Cen Zhe guarded the passage and ordered the others to prepare for battle.
• Moxie learned the children had escaped and explained that the Azure Devil Race had already transformed five of nine invaded realms, planned to invade more, and intended to reignite the Outer Realm Battlefield.

The Dihuan Realm’s Eighteen Hegemon-level Forces formed an alliance and prepared to counterattack the nine Lesser Thousand Realms invaded by the Azure Devil Race. When the Blood Fiend Sect refused to join, Cen Zhe destroyed it, and the alliance began building Space Tunnels to the fallen realms.

• The Eighteen Hegemon-level Forces conscripted powers and cultivators across the Inner Five Domains to form an allied army against the Azure Devil Race.
• The Blood Fiend Sect Master refused to send anyone to Xuantian Sect, hoping to exploit the war to obtain an Immortal Artifact and become a Hegemon-level Force.
• Cen Zhe appeared above the Blood Fiend Sect and killed its members and its Sect Master with three swords after suppressing his escape with the Xuantian Mirror.
• The Hegemon-level Forces punished leading powers that defied the alliance, prompting other holdouts to join and completing the Inner Five Domains’ alliance.
• The Hegemon-level Forces began constructing Space Tunnels to counterattack the nine fallen Lesser Thousand Realms.

As the Dihuan Realm Alliance began its counteroffensive in the fallen Lower Realms, Ye Qingxuan was tasked with cultivating Spirit Purifying Trees and learned that captured Spirit Vein Sources would be made available through the Alliance. He prepared to expand his cultivation, while the Azure Devil Race launched a major attack in the Outer Realm Battlefield and met a prepared Dihuan Realm force.

• The Dihuan Realm Alliance sent Spirit Transformation Realm forces into the nine fallen Lesser Thousand Realms, where they established fortified bases and advanced cautiously against the Azure Devil Race.
• Bai Zichun ordered Ye Qingxuan and the other Blessed Cultivators in his cohort to cultivate Spirit Purifying Trees for Alliance Contribution Points and explained that captured Spirit Vein Sources would be extracted and returned to the Dihuan Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan saw an opportunity to use lawfully obtained Spirit Vein Sources to improve Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land and told Zhu Dafu to have Tianfu Shop buy Spirit Purifying Trees of every tier.
• Hundreds of Tribulation Crossing Realm and Mahayana Realm Azure Devil Race members emerged from the Azure Devil Realm's Realm Gate in the Outer Realm Battlefield, but they encountered a prepared Grand Array and Dihuan Realm cultivators.
• The opposing high-level forces clashed, the Grand Array collapsed, and their battle spread across the Outer Realm Battlefield without either side using Immortal Artifact-level Magic Treasures.

Dihuan Realm’s leaders agreed to abandon attempts to hold the nine invaded Lesser Thousand Realms and instead destroy their Spirit Veins to cut off Azure Devil Realm’s erosion. As Dihuan Realm’s forces carried out the strategy, Azure Devil Realm shifted to guarding its Magic Veins and launched invasions across Dihuan Realm’s affiliated Lower Realms, while Dihuan Realm’s leaders prepared after learning from their earlier deception.

• Cen Zhe proposed that Dihuan Realm destroy Spirit Veins and seize their sources in the nine transformed Lesser Thousand Realms, severing their connection to Dihuan Realm.
• Lingxiao Temple Master and the other Mahayana experts approved the plan, and Xianxuan Zi suggested limiting the destruction to half the territory.
• Dihuan Realm’s Spirit Transformation experts slipped past Azure Devil Race forces with Formation Disks and concealed themselves, while troops in fortified cities stayed to defend and tie down the enemy.
• Dihuan Realm’s experts destroyed contaminated Spirit Veins and seized their sources, prompting Azure Devil Race to guard third-tier and higher Magic Veins and hunt the intruders.
• Three months later, Azure Devil Realm opened numerous Space Tunnels to invade Dihuan Realm’s affiliated Lower Realms, but Dihuan Realm’s leaders had learned from the previous deception.

The Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm began fighting across their worlds and affiliated realms, while cultivators on both sides hunted for resources and tried to undermine their enemy. A year into the war, Ye Qingxuan remained focused on cultivation and awaited Bai Zichun to collect the Spirit Purifying Trees from his Blessed Land.

• The Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm sent their Mahayana Realm Experts into the void, where they clashed until their Space Tunnels formed and both sides withdrew.
• Both realms invaded each other's affiliated worlds, and cultivators formed hunting squads to kill their enemies for cultivation rewards.
• The Dihuan Realm sent cultivators to plant Purifying Trees in Demon Realms, while the Azure Devil Race planted Devil Vines and demonized humans in Dihuan's affiliated worlds.
• The Dihuan Realm formed a Demon Hunting Army to track Azure Devil Race invaders and intensified its attacks on their Demon Realms.
• A year after the war began, Ye Qingxuan waited at Qingxuan Blessed Land for Bai Zichun to collect the Spirit Purifying Trees and record Alliance Contribution Points.

Ye Qingxuan reunited with Bai Zichun, exchanged tea and discussed the Alliance’s purchase prices for Spirit Purifying Trees. He sold hundreds of trees for 45,000,900 Alliance Contribution Points, exchanged most of them for nine Spirit Vein Sources, and awaited their delivery.

• Bai Zichun visited Ye Qingxuan’s stone pavilion, praised his progress, and enjoyed his Quiet Heart Tea.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Bai Zichun tea leaves, then asked about the Alliance’s purchase prices for Spirit Purifying Trees.
• Ye Qingxuan handed Bai Zichun one hundred Tier One and five hundred Tier Four Spirit Purifying Trees, explaining that his marketplace shop had bought them.
• Bai Zichun calculated the trees’ value at 45,000,900 Alliance Contribution Points and gave Ye Qingxuan the exchange list.
• Ye Qingxuan exchanged 45 million points for five Second-Tier and four Third-Tier Spirit Vein Sources, which Bai Zichun promised to deliver the next day.
• Bai Zichun left for another Blessed Cultivator Disciple and handled the remaining visits quickly and formally.

Ye Qingxuan strengthened Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land and shared a meal with Ye Qingxiao, who announced he was going to train in the Lower Realm. Ye Qingxuan gave him powerful talismans for protection, and Ye Qingxiao set out for Xuantian Sect’s Space Tunnel, where an unidentified slender figure appeared beside him.

• Ye Qingxuan fused nine Spirit Vein Sources into Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, raising its foundation and bringing it closer to Late Second-tier.
• Ye Qingxuan welcomed the Azure Dragon and the Void Spirit Immortal Cranes, then prepared a meal for Ye Qingxiao.
• Ye Qingxiao told Ye Qingxuan he planned to train in the Lower Realm, avoiding the fallen Nine Fallen Lesser Thousand Realms for now.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Qingxiao a Storage Bag containing more than eighty Tier Six Talismans and warned him not to rely on them to enter the most dangerous realms.
• Ye Qingxiao departed for Xuantian Sect’s Space Tunnel after agreeing to collect ores and bring back unwanted Azure Devil Race corpses and Cultivation Origin.
• As Ye Qingxiao stepped into the Space Tunnel, a slender figure appeared beside him.

After Ye Qingxuan's parents died, their farewell letter left him consumed by guilt and an obsession with gaining power, and he withdrew into relentless cultivation. He eventually broke through to the Golden Core Realm, while Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advanced to the Late Second-tier.

• Ye Yuhong brought Ye Qingxuan the letter his parents had left after they died peacefully in each other's arms.
• Ye Qingxuan read his parents' farewell, stood in silence for seven days, then resolved to reclaim everything he lost once he reached the summit of immortality.
• Ye Qingxuan isolated himself in Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land and cultivated obsessively, while Bai Zichun noticed his growing indifference but could not reach him.
• Ten years after his parents' deaths, Ye Qingxuan exchanged five hundred Tier Four Spirit Purifying Trees for Spirit Vein Sources, ignoring Bai Zichun's advice.
• Twenty-three years after his parents' deaths, Ye Qingxuan's newly integrated Spirit Vein Sources helped Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advance to the Late Second-tier.
• Twenty-eight years after his parents' deaths, Ye Qingxuan broke through to the Golden Core Realm.

After breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, Ye Qingxuan condensed the Clone Divine Ability Seed and used Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s origin to form an External Incarnation. The incarnation visited his family and parents’ graves, easing his obsession, but Ye Yuhong discovered him and began to suspect who he was.

• Ye Qingxuan condensed the Clone Divine Ability Seed and used the origin of Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land to create an External Incarnation.
• Ye Qingxuan sent Ye Zhaoheng to leave an Ink Box in a remote forest, and his External Incarnation emerged from it after Ye Zhaoheng departed.
• Ye Qingxuan’s External Incarnation secretly visited his elderly younger brother and younger sister, then mourned at Father Ye and Mother Ye’s graves.
• Remembering his parents eased Ye Qingxuan’s obsession, but Ye Yuhong confronted him at the cemetery after tracking his aura.
• Ye Qingxuan fled without revealing himself, while Ye Yuhong erased the day’s records and wondered whether the visitor had been Ye Qingxuan.

After seeing through his obsession, Ye Qingxuan regained his composure, strengthened his Immortal Soul, and revised his plans for his External Incarnation. He began cultivating new abilities and auxiliary skills, then gave Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu pills to help them attempt breakthroughs to the Golden Core Realm.

• Ye Qingxuan concealed his External Incarnation in a remote mountain cave after realizing his visit to Ye Clan Immortal City might have drawn Ye Yuhong's suspicion.
• Ye Qingxuan returned his main consciousness to his body, recovered from his obsession, and noticed his Immortal Soul and comprehension had improved.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to strengthen his External Incarnation and began comprehending Deceive Heaven, Shape Shift, Minor Five Elements Shield, Minor Five Elements Grinding Mill, and Space Jump.
• In the second year, Ye Qingxuan condensed the Shape Shift Divine Ability Seed, reached Tier 5 in Pill Dao, and changed his External Incarnation's appearance.
• Bai Zichun collected the Spirit Purifying Trees and congratulated Ye Qingxuan on recovering from his obsession.
• Ye Qingxuan gave Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu Jiejin Pills and Yulu Pills, then returned to Qingxuan Blessed Land to continue cultivating.

After years of cultivation, Ye Qingxuan strengthened Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land and prepared an array of weapons, pills, talismans, and a flying boat for his External Incarnation. With the supplies delivered, he turned to choosing where the incarnation’s alternate identity would begin its business.

• Ye Qingxuan condensed Divine Ability Seeds, raised all four auxiliary cultivation arts to Tier 5, and upgraded three formations in Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
• He refined three Low-grade Spirit Treasures and a Tier Five flying boat for his External Incarnation.
• Ye Qingxuan ordered Ye Zhaoheng to retrieve Tianfu Shop’s Monster Core stock and used the cores to produce Tier Five Nuclear Explosion Pills.
• He prepared Tier Five and Tier Six Talismans and gathered the other supplies for his External Incarnation’s journey.
• At the end of the fifth year, Ye Qingxuan sent the prepared supplies through the Realm Gate and began choosing a starting place for the incarnation’s alternate identity.

Ye Qingxuan chose the remote East Extremity Domain for his External Incarnation to develop, then traveled under the Rogue Cultivator identity Gui Xuanzi toward the Endless Sea Domain. He arrived at Dongbin City and prepared to find a safe way across the dangerous sea to the Outer Four Domains.

• Ye Qingxuan compared development opportunities across the Dihuan Realm and chose the Outer Four Domains, where his External Incarnation could grow with fewer powerful rivals obstructing him.
• Ye Qingxuan selected the East Extremity Domain as his destination and left his main body cultivating in the Xuantian Sect while his main consciousness took control of the External Incarnation.
• Ye Qingxuan named the External Incarnation Gui Xuanzi, disguised himself as an ordinary Rogue Cultivator, and traveled by Flying Ship and Teleportation Arrays to Dongbin City.
• Ye Qingxuan decided not to cross the Endless Sea Domain alone because its Deep Sea Region contained powerful sea monsters and the crossing was vast.

Ye Qingxuan booked passage to the East Extremity Domain through the Tianyuan Merchant Guild, concealing his cultivation and avoiding Steward Lin’s predatory interest. While waiting for the ship, he considered the domain’s valuable Chaos Spirit Stones, Chaos Spirit Fruits, and Chaos Spirit Trees, which he also hoped to obtain.

• Ye Qingxuan visited the Tianyuan Merchant Guild branch in Dongbin City and asked to travel to the East Extremity Domain.
• Steward Lin asked about Ye Qingxuan’s purpose and cultivation, but Ye Qingxuan concealed his true strength and briefly displayed a Golden Core Realm aura.
• Ye Qingxuan paid three hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones and received a Golden Token for the guild’s departure on the third day of March next year.
• Steward Lin considered targeting Ye Qingxuan for his resources but decided against it after sensing his concealment and fearing the risk.
• Ye Qingxuan lodged near the Endless Sea Domain and reflected on the East Extremity Domain’s valuable Chaos Spirit trade, which was among his reasons for traveling there.

Ye Qingxuan boarded the Tianyuan Merchant Guild’s tower ship and began its long journey toward the East Extremity Domain. Back in Qingxuan Blessed Land, he planned how to use his two remaining Ordinary Clones to investigate the war and buy Azure Devil remains, laying an early foundation for a future trading city.

• Ye Qingxuan used Steward Lin’s golden token to board the Tianyuan Merchant Guild’s tower ship and received a private room with a Tier 5 Spirit Gathering Formation.
• At dusk, the tower ship formed a Spatial Vortex and jumped from Dongbin City to the Deep Sea Region of the Endless Sea Domain, where it would recharge for ten years before its next jump.
• Ye Qingxuan returned his Main Consciousness to his main body in Qingxuan Blessed Land and considered how to deploy his two remaining Ordinary Clones.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to send one Ordinary Clone through the Azure Devil Realm and Two Realms Battlefield to observe the war, and the other to open a shop buying Azure Devil Corpses and Cultivation Origin.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to eventually connect the Nine Domains through Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land and establish a city and shared trading ground there.

Ye Qingxuan sent two disguised clones from Xuantian Sect to Star War City to investigate opportunities connected to the war and the Lower Realm. One clone entered the busy city and headed to the City Lord’s Mansion to find the official handling shop rentals and sales.

• Ye Qingxuan gave his two clones altered appearances and auras, equipped them with Spirit Treasure masks, and sent them out of Xuantian Sect separately with Ye Zhaoheng.
• One clone traveled toward Star War City, a growing Xuantian Sect war hub where cultivators gathered to enter the Lower Realm and Demon Realm.
• As the clone approached the city, Ye Qingxuan noticed temporary shops outside its walls attracting little business.
• The clone entered Star War City and observed its battle-hardened cultivators and thriving shops.
• Ye Qingxuan went to the City Lord’s Mansion to seek the manager responsible for renting and selling shops.

Ye Qingxuan opened a guarded temporary shop outside Star War City and named it the Mysterious Shop. While his merchant clone waited for customers, another clone learned how the war between Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm was damaging their affiliated worlds, and Ye Qingxuan suspected Dihuan Realm’s leaders might be using the conflict to help their realm ascend.

• Ye Qingxuan learned that Star War City had no shops available, so he registered a Temporary Shop and chose a plot about ten miles from the city.
• Ye Qingxuan had his main body craft a Spirit Treasure-level palace, sent it to his clone through the Realm Gate, and opened the Mysterious Shop.
• Ye Qingxuan’s merchant clone settled into the shop while his other clone searched Star War City for information about the Lower Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan learned that Dihuan Realm’s forces had expanded their foothold in the Nine Fallen Lesser Thousand Realms, where they destroyed demonized Spirit Veins and planted Spirit Purifying Trees.
• Ye Qingxuan concluded that the war was weakening the affiliated worlds while Dihuan Realm and Azure Devil Realm grew stronger, and he speculated that Dihuan Realm’s leaders might be pursuing ascension.

Ye Qingxuan entered Number Three Devil Realm to inspect its conditions and plant ten Spirit Purifying Trees in exchange for access to the Space Tunnel. After planting them, he began cautiously searching the Demon Realm for Magic Veins and Demon Vein Sources.

• Ye Qingxuan joined the queue at Star War City's central plaza and received ten Spirit Purifying Trees and a Space Formation Disk for his trip to Number Three Devil Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan passed through the Realm Gate and arrived at a remote area of Number Three Devil Realm, where the Suppression Power weakened him and Devil Qi forced him to maintain a Spiritual Power Barrier.
• Ye Qingxuan surveyed the Demon Realm's dark skies and strange vegetation, then planted the ten Spirit Purifying Trees in a concealed woodland.
• Ye Qingxuan reflected on how Spirit Purifying Trees absorbed Devil Qi and transformed it into Spiritual Energy before setting out to search for Magic Veins and Demon Vein Sources.

Ye Qingxuan explored a remote part of the Number Three Devil Realm and tested Tier 3 Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills on an Azure Devil tribe, discovering they devastated low-level demons and erased the surrounding Devil Qi. As he prepared to leave, he sensed something in the distant sky.

• Ye Qingxuan cautiously explored the Demon Realm, conserving Spiritual Power as Devil Qi drained him and his concealment faltered while he moved.
• Ye Qingxuan discovered a small tribe of hundreds of Azure Devil Race members without cultivation and decided to attack them.
• Ye Qingxuan threw three Tier 3 Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills into the tribe, killing more than half its members and driving some survivors into mutations.
• Ye Qingxuan realized the pills had annihilated the region's low-grade Devil Qi because their energy was far purer than the surrounding Devil Qi.
• Ye Qingxuan decided not to collect the ruined corpses, but suddenly looked toward the distant sky after sensing something.

Ye Qingxuan escaped a Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race member by teleporting away as a barrage of pills exploded, drawing powerful forces from both sides to the area. Elsewhere, Bai Yi’s squad took advantage of the Azure Devil Race’s movement to attack a scouted Tier Six Magic Vein.

• A Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race member attacked Ye Qingxuan, who blocked the strike with a Tier Five Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill.
• The Azure Devil Race member rushed Ye Qingxuan under cover of further attacks, but Ye Qingxuan teleported away after scattering more than a dozen Tier Five Nuclear Explosion Pills and Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills.
• The Azure Devil Race member sensed danger and escaped with a black talisman before the pills detonated, alarming nearby Azure Devil Race and Dihuan Realm squads.
• Bai Yi’s Number One Demon Slaying Battle Team stayed hidden as Azure Devil Race forces converged on the explosion site.
• Bai Yi led his squad toward a previously scouted Tier Six Magic Vein to destroy it and kill the Azure Devil Race member stationed there.

Ye Qingxuan considered the limits of Nuclear Explosion Pills after fighting a Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race in the Demon Realm, and concluded that restraints such as Sealing Talismans were needed to make them effective against stronger foes. He realized Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills’ power against Devil Qi had gone unnoticed and wondered whether he should promote them himself.

• Ye Qingxuan hid his aura after the battle and celebrated surviving his dangerous fight with a Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race, though he did not know if it had died.
• Ye Qingxuan reflected that Nuclear Explosion Pills alone could not reliably kill stronger opponents because they could evade them, and he considered pairing them with suppressive talismans.
• Ye Qingxuan regretted leaving his Tier Six Talismans with his External Incarnation and resolved to equip this clone with some on his next return.
• Ye Qingxuan wondered why the Demon Realm effects of Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills had not reached the Dihuan Realm, then reasoned that few cultivators had used them there or recognized their purification effect.
• Ye Qingxuan considered personally promoting Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills in the Demon Realm.
