Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingxuan’s clone explored Number Three Devil Realm but was ambushed and struck down by the Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race. Before disappearing, he detonated every Nuclear Explosion Pill he carried, creating a blast that purified the surrounding Devil Qi and gave Dihuan Realm battle teams an opening to attack.

• A Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race searched nearby but failed to detect Ye Qingxuan, who remained hidden with Deceive Heaven.
• Ye Qingxuan decided not to promote Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills and resumed exploring Number Three Devil Realm with his remaining pills.
• The Azure Devil Race ambushed Ye Qingxuan along his flight path and pierced his body before he could activate a talisman.
• As his consciousness returned to his main body, Ye Qingxuan detonated all the Nuclear Explosion Pills in his Storage Bag, killing himself and the Azure Devil Race in the blast.
• The blast drew the attention of Spirit Transmutation Realm fighters, and Bai Yi led the Number One Demon Slaying Battle Team in an assault on a Tier Six Magic Vein.
• Azure Devil Race experts found the blast site purified of Devil Qi and questioned why so much force had been used to kill one Nascent Soul Realm clan member.

Ye Qingxuan reflected on the death of his Explorer clone and decided to wait until Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advanced to the third tier before recreating it. He enjoyed his secluded life while preparing resources for Gui Xuanzi's future establishment in the East Extremity Domain, though he still worried about Ye Qingxiao.

• Ye Qingxuan learned that Explorer had perished in Number Three Devil Realm and decided to give its next incarnation a Dark Gold Patterned Mask.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to delay recreating Explorer until Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land reached the third tier and could raise the clone's cultivation.
• Ye Qingxuan considered selling newly grown Tier Four Spirit Purifying Trees to Steward Bai for Spirit Vein Sources that could speed the Cave Heaven Blessed Land's advancement.
• Ye Qingxuan worried that Ye Qingxiao had been away training in the Lower Realm for nearly forty years without sending word.
• Ye Qingxuan continued enjoying his secure cultivation and wealth, while saving Spirit Infusion Honey for an auction after Gui Xuanzi reached the East Extremity Domain.

Ye Qingxuan planned to expand beyond the Xuantian Sect after building a foothold in the East Extremity Domain, while strengthening the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land and preparing a suppressive Divine Ability. He began cultivating Boundary Suppressing and arranged to buy materials for its matching pagodas.

• Ye Qingxuan sold five hundred Tier Four Spirit Purifying Trees and integrated the proceeds’ nine Spirit Vein Sources into the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, bringing its Spirit Veins to sixteen Third-Tier, twenty-two Second-Tier, and twenty-two First-grade.
• Ye Qingxuan estimated the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land would reach Peak Second-tier in about two years and planned to cultivate a suppressive Divine Ability while he waited.
• Ye Qingxuan chose the Minor Divine Ability Boundary Suppressing, which could imprison cultivators and hinder their escape through space, and considered pairing it with a Boundary Suppressing Pagoda.
• Ye Qingxuan determined that Gui Xuanzi could eventually use a Low-grade Spirit Treasure Boundary Suppressing Pagoda, while the future Clone Explorer’s cultivation would depend on the cave heaven’s Origin Feedback.
• Ye Qingxuan asked Zhu Dafu to purchase ten thousand cubic meters of Tier Five Boundary Setting Stone, then began closed-door cultivation to condense the Boundary Suppressing Divine Ability Seed.

Ye Qingxuan condensed the Divine Ability Seed for Boundary Suppressing and refined three Boundary Suppressing Pagodas before preparing to use Puppets to tend Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s Spirit Plants. After studying the Puppet Art, he decided to make Auxiliary Puppets for the expanding blessed land and single-attribute Fifth-Order Combat Puppets for his traveling clone.

• Ye Qingxuan condensed the Divine Ability Seed of Minor Divine Ability: Boundary Suppressing in less than a year.
• He had Ye Zhaoheng retrieve Boundary Setting Stones and refined three Low-grade Spirit Treasure Boundary Suppressing Pagodas, keeping one, reserving one for Gui Xuanzi, and saving one for his future Explorer Clone.
• Ye Qingxuan decided he needed Puppets to tend the Spirit Plants in Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land after its rank advancement, since he would not let others enter it.
• He studied the Puppet Art inheritance and learned how Wood Puppets could autonomously plant and care for Spirit Plants without requiring his Spiritual Sense for control.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to refine Auxiliary Puppets for the blessed land and several single-attribute Fifth-Order Combat Puppets for his traveling clone, postponing multi-attribute Puppets because he lacked confidence in their refinement.

Ye Qingxuan refined more than a hundred Tier Four Auxiliary Puppets while waiting for the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land to advance. After the three-year advancement, he reached the Late Golden Core Realm and inspected the greatly expanded blessed land and the changes to its plants and beasts.

• Ye Qingxuan focused on Puppet Art and refined more than a hundred Tier Four Wood Auxiliary Puppets, but postponed making Combat Puppets.
• The Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land began advancing, and Ye Qingxuan remained inside for three years to observe its expansion and the evolution of its Profound Meaning Rules.
• The blessed land's origin raised Ye Qingxuan's cultivation from Golden Core Early Stage to near Peak Mid Golden Core Realm, and he continued cultivating for six more years until reaching Late Golden Core Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed that his Fourth Element Spirit Root was more than halfway condensed and estimated that it would take around four hundred years to complete.
• Ye Qingxuan examined the third-tier blessed land, which had expanded to two thousand li and gained new Spirit Veins, higher growth limits for Spirit Plants, and increasingly powerful Spirit Beasts.
• Ye Qingxuan noted that the Azure Dragon's growth limit had risen to seventh-tier and that the Earth Spirit Turtles' shells were changing, but he paid little attention to the slow-growing turtles.

After his breakthrough, Ye Qingxuan expanded Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s Spirit Plant cultivation and advanced his Earth Immortal Body. He reported the Blessed Land’s advancement to Xuantian Sect, leaving his main body free to keep cultivating in seclusion as long as the Sect did not investigate.

• Ye Qingxuan arranged Tier Four Wood Puppets to tend Spirit Plants and expanded his plantings to three thousand Spirit Gathering Grass, three thousand Earth Spirit Flowers, and six thousand Spirit Purifying Trees.
• Ye Qingxuan planned to raise most of the Spirit Purifying Trees he intended to sell to Tier Five and save Alliance Contribution Points for Spirit Vein Sources above Third-grade.
• After a month of torment, Ye Qingxuan used the Third-tier Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s origin power to advance his Earth Immortal Body to the third tier, bringing his Fourth Element Spirit Root closer to condensing.
• Ye Qingxuan messaged Steward Bai Zichun to register Qingxuan Blessed Land’s advancement and his cultivation breakthrough.
• Ye Qingxuan concluded that Xuantian Sect would not inspect his Blessed Land unless one of three specified circumstances arose, allowing him to remain in seclusion if he avoided them.

After becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, Ye Qingxuan reviewed his new duties and decided to keep his public cultivation and Blessed Land rank stable for a while. He began producing Tier 4 Nuclear Explosion Pills for Tianfu Shop and set higher prices for Spirit Cleansing pills, leaving future supply decisions open.

• Steward Bai congratulated Ye Qingxuan on advancing his Blessed Land and cultivation, and Ye Qingxuan inspected his updated Disciple Token.
• Ye Qingxuan noted his increased stipend, Second Tier Planting Mission, and expanded Retainer Quota, but chose not to take extra missions or recruit more Retainers.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to avoid reporting further advancements for a long time and to publicly raise his alchemy level so Tianfu Shop could sell Tier 4 Nuclear Explosion Pills openly.
• After more than a month, Ye Qingxuan prepared production lines and began refining Tier 4 Nuclear Explosion Pills, while limiting the supply of Spirit Cleansing pills.
• Ye Qingxuan set prices of 100 High-grade Spirit Stones for Tier 4 Nuclear Explosion Pills and 210 for Tier 4 Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills, and planned to raise the prices of Spirit Cleansing pills across all tiers.

Ye Qingxuan prepared to expand into the East Extremity Domain, where his external incarnation, Gui Xuanzi, would build a large trading market and secure resources for the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land. He stockpiled supplies and expanded Tianfu Shop’s offerings while awaiting Gui Xuanzi’s arrival.

• Ye Qingxuan decided to use his external incarnation to establish a commercial foothold in the East Extremity Domain and eventually expand into the other Four Extremity Domains.
• Ye Qingxuan instructed Zhu Dafu to raise the price of the Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill, list the tier 4 pills, and stockpile resources from tiers one through four.
• Ye Qingxuan prepared supplies for Gui Xuanzi and planned for him to claim territory and build a city and trading market in the East Extremity Domain.
• Zhu Dafu was surprised by the tier 4 pills and wondered whether Ye Qingxuan had broken through, then carried out Ye Qingxuan’s instructions.
• Tianfu Shop listed the tier 4 pills and gradually increased its turnover and profits, while Ye Qingxuan focused on the market beyond the Xuantian Sect.

Ye Qingxuan prepared a newly condensed Golden Core Realm Clone Explorer and sent him into the Demon Realm to hunt Azure Devil Race members and gather Demon Vein Sources. After searching for an hour, the clone found a tribe guarded by three Foundation Establishment Realm Azure Devil Race members.

• Ye Qingxuan condensed a new Clone Explorer at the Early Golden Core Realm, equipped him with a Boundary Suppressing Pagoda and a Realm Gate, and sent him to the Mysterious Shop outside Star War City.
• Ye Qingxuan recreated his Clone Mysterious Merchant at the Early Golden Core Realm, while the shop continued to attract a few customers but made little progress toward buying Azure Devil Race Corpses and Cultivation Origins.
• Ye Qingxuan sent the Clone Explorer toward Number Three Devil Realm, supplying him with Tier Five weapons and ten Tier Six Low-grade Talismans for hunting and escape.
• Ye Qingxuan controlled his three clones from another dimension and had the Clone Explorer search the Demon Realm without interference from first tier Devil Qi.
• After one hour of searching, the Clone Explorer encountered an Azure Devil Race tribe guarded by three Foundation Establishment Realm members.

Ye Qingxuan wiped out the Mochuan Tribe with his Boundary Suppressing divine ability and collected its corpses, Cultivation Origin, and Demon Vein resources. He planned to convert the lower-realm Azure Devil Race gains into Origin Energy for the growth of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, while reserving sacrifices for stronger cultivators.

• Ye Qingxuan confirmed no other powerful figures were nearby, then used formation disks to conceal the Mochuan Tribe.
• When three Foundation Establishment Realm Azure Devil Race cultivators confronted the formation, Ye Qingxuan used the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda to kill them and the rest of the tribe.
• Ye Qingxuan withdrew his divine ability, gathered three Foundation Establishment Realm and eighty-six Qi Refining Realm corpses and their Cultivation Origin, and destroyed the tribe's Second-order Magic Vein.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to convert Azure Devil Race cultivators below Golden Core Realm, along with Magic Stones and Demon Vein Sources, into Origin Energy for the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
• Ye Qingxuan theorized that otherworld cultivators contained something that made their sacrifices yield more World Origin, while sacrifices of native cultivators provided no feedback.

Ye Qingxuan’s Explorer Clone stored the spoils from Number Three Devil Realm and continued exploring while Ye Qingxuan returned to cultivation. He sampled his newly evolved Tier 5 Quiet Heart Tea, learned of its stronger enlightenment and demon-dispelling effects, and then resumed his daily practice.

• Ye Qingxuan’s Explorer Clone stored the battle spoils, put on the Dark Gold Patterned Mask, and continued deeper into Number Three Devil Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan stopped closely watching his clone and left Qingxuan Blessed Land for the Stone Pavilion.
• Ye Qingxuan brewed and tasted tea from his Tier 5 Quiet Heart Tea Tree, which had been absorbing essence from nearby tea trees.
• Ye Qingxuan discovered the tea could sustain about half an hour of enlightenment for a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, triple temporary comprehension during that state, and help low-level cultivators dispel Inner Demons.
• Ye Qingxuan finished the tea and returned to the Blessed Land to begin his daily cultivation.

Over ten years, Ye Qingxuan kept his incarnations and clones busy across the Endless Sea Domain, Star War City, and Number Three Devil Realm. After surviving repeated Azure Devil Race encirclements, his Explorer Clone chose to return to the Dihuan Realm and send his accumulated gains to Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land before hunting a nearby Nascent Soul Realm tribe.

• Gui Xuanzi avoided the other tower-ship passengers, while Ye Qingxuan learned that Star War City might soon undergo its final expansion.
• Ye Qingxuan's Explorer Clone destroyed forty-eight Azure Devil Tribes and survived several Azure Devil Race encirclements using Deceive Heaven.
• After spotting an Azure Devil Tribe overseen by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, Ye Qingxuan's Explorer Clone decided to send his ten years of gains back first.
• Ye Qingxuan's Explorer Clone activated a Formation Disk, opened a Temporary Space Gate, and left Number Three Devil Realm.

Ye Qingxuan’s Explorer clone returned from Number Three Devil Realm with years of spoils, which he used to accelerate Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s growth and sacrifice an Early Golden Core Realm Azure Devil. The sacrifice barely improved his cultivation, leaving him to conclude that he needed to hunt Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race members to advance quickly.

• Li Ruo of Bao Xuan Hall approached Ye Qingxuan’s Explorer clone at Star War City and offered to buy Azure Devil Race Corpses, but Ye Qingxuan declined and later discarded Li Ruo’s Sound Transmission Talisman.
• Ye Qingxuan kept his Explorer clone in a remote mountain range for three days before returning it through a Realm Gate and dispersing it to prevent anyone from tracking it to his main body.
• Ye Qingxuan fed the clone’s Demon Realm spoils into the Tier 5 Cave Heaven Blessed Land Purification Formation, rapidly increasing Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s origin and saving it about twenty-five years of growth.
• Ye Qingxuan placed an Early Golden Core Realm Azure Devil Corpse and its Cultivation Origin into the Minor Sacrifice Grand Formation, which sent him a brief infusion of Origin.
• Ye Qingxuan sensed that the sacrifice gave him only about six years of cultivation at the Late Golden Core Realm and decided that he needed to hunt Nascent Soul Realm Azure Devil Race members to improve quickly.

Ye Qingxuan sent his Explorer Clone into the Number Nine Devil Realm to explore while avoiding the attention of its powerful Azure Devil experts. After assessing the realm and setting his sights on stronger tribes, he left the first tribe he found undisturbed because its strongest member was only at Foundation Establishment Realm.

• Ye Qingxuan sent his Explorer Clone through the Space Tunnel from Star War City to the Number Nine Devil Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan concealed his aura, reached a hidden cave, and sensed that the Number Nine Devil Realm had more active energy and more stable space than the Number Three Devil Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to target Azure Devil Tribes with Golden Core Realm or Nascent Soul Realm experts while keeping his presence hidden.
• Ye Qingxuan explored the mountain range for three days and encountered bizarre Magic Beasts and strange howls.
• Ye Qingxuan found an Azure Devil Tribe whose strongest member was at Foundation Establishment Realm and bypassed it to continue exploring.

Ye Qingxuan used prepared formations and the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda to annihilate a powerful Azure Devil Tribe and loot its valley. The tribe’s Nascent Soul protector avoided searching personally but sent Golden Core teams to investigate the surrounding region.

• Ye Qingxuan ambushed the valley tribe with Tier Five formations, trapping its members behind their Earth Vein-powered Guardian Great Formation.
• Ye Qingxuan combined the Boundary Suppressing Pagoda with its phantom to break the barrier and kill every Azure Devil Race member in the valley.
• Ye Qingxuan destroyed the valley’s Tier Four Magic Vein, collected Magic Stones and the Demon Vein Source, and left before a Nascent Soul realm Azure Devil arrived.
• The Nascent Soul realm Azure Devil suspected a Human Race attack, fled to his tribe, and received orders from Azure Devil Race higher-ups to investigate the surrounding territory.
• The Nascent Soul realm Azure Devil stayed within his tribe and ordered Golden Core members from his tribe and its dependent tribes to search for the supposed enemy.

Ye Qingxuan explored the Number Nine Devil Realm World for more than eight years, hunting a Golden Core Azure Devil Tribe and several Devil Beasts while searching for stronger targets. Deep in a mountain range, he spotted a Mid Golden Core Realm Azure Devil Cultivator and secretly followed him after the cultivator killed a Tier Four Devil Beast.

• Ye Qingxuan counted the corpses, Cultivation Origins, and materials he had taken from the Azure Devil Tribe before continuing his exploration.
• Over five years, Ye Qingxuan found nearly twenty Azure Devil Tribes but no further Golden Core or Nascent Soul level tribes, so he continued deeper into the mountain range.
• During the next three years, Ye Qingxuan hunted three Golden Core Realm Devil Beasts and reached the mountain range's core, where the increasingly dense Devil Qi made him consider turning back.
• Ye Qingxuan decided to explore farther into the core area, and three days later he sensed a Golden Core Realm battle ahead.
• Ye Qingxuan watched a Mid Golden Core Realm Azure Devil Cultivator kill a Tier Four tiger-like Devil Beast, then followed the cultivator in secret.

Ye Qingxuan discovered that the concealed Yin Kui Tribe was a powerful Nascent Soul-level tribe protected by a Tier Five Guardian Great Formation. Unable to attack it directly, he planted a Tier Five Covering Great Formation around the peak and secretly threw thirty Tier Five Nuclear Explosion Pills inside before fleeing and activating them.

• Ye Qingxuan followed an Azure Devil Race member to a concealed peak and learned from three captured outpost guards that the Yin Kui Tribe inside had a Nascent Soul Realm leader, five Golden Core cultivators, and a Tier Five Guardian Great Formation.
• Ye Qingxuan enclosed the peak and its four outposts within a Tier Five Covering Great Formation, then prepared thirty Tier Five Nuclear Explosion Pills.
• Ye Qingxuan entered the Yin Kui Tribe using the guards’ formation formula, tossed the pills into the peak’s interior, and retreated when the dense Devil Qi began corroding his skin.
• Ye Qingxuan activated the Covering Great Formation and the pills as he fled, while Qi Refining Realm Azure Devils found one of the glowing pills and the Yin Kui King sensed that something was wrong.

Ye Qingxuan destroyed the Yin Kui Tribe with thirty Tier Five Nuclear Explosion Pills and searched the ruins for loot, but he could not find the Yin Kui King. As Ye Qingxuan reached the exposed Tier Five Magic Vein Source, he detected a hidden attacker, and both sides launched Tier Six Talismans.

• The Yin Kui King activated the tribe’s defensive formations and an ancient talisman as thirty Tier Five Nuclear Explosion Pills detonated, flattening the mountain and destroying the tribe.
• Ye Qingxuan survived the blast with a Tier Five Guardian Talisman and rushed to the ruins before nearby Azure Devil Race experts could arrive.
• A Frost Condensation Battle Team led by Leng Ningshuang learned of the disturbance but chose not to investigate; Luo Tian and Zhao Kui were her teammates.
• Ye Qingxuan gathered the five Golden Core Realm corpses and scattered Magic Stones, but could not find the Yin Kui King’s corpse.
• Ye Qingxuan reached the exposed Tier Five Magic Vein Source, sensed a hidden attacker, and secretly launched a Tier Six Talisman as the attacker struck back with one of their own.

Ye Qingxuan killed the wounded Yin Kui King with a Tier Six Talisman, but a Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devil appeared and pursued him. Ye Qingxuan escaped by using several Teleport Talismans and hiding with Deceive Heaven, leaving his pursuer unable to find him.

• The Yin Kui King launched a surprise attack on Ye Qingxuan, but their Tier Six Talismans clashed and both used Tier Five Protective Talismans to survive the aftermath.
• Ye Qingxuan sent another Tier Six Talisman at the badly wounded Yin Kui King, then teleported away when he sensed a Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devil approaching; the talisman killed the Yin Kui King.
• The Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devil collected the Yin Kui King's corpse and pursued Ye Qingxuan through the spatial traces of his Teleport Talismans.
• Ye Qingxuan activated five Tier Five Teleport Talismans at once, then concealed himself in a mountain crevice with Deceive Heaven.
• The Azure Devil searched for Ye Qingxuan using his Qi Aura but failed to locate him, then left while vowing not to let him escape next time.

Ye Qingxuan escaped Number Nine Devil Realm World after evading a Spirit Transmutation Realm Azure Devil, then sacrificed the gains from his expedition to improve his cultivation. He sent his Explorer Clone back to Number Nine Devil Realm while remaining in Qingxuan Cave Heaven to cultivate.

• Ye Qingxuan waited three months in a mountain fissure, then fled to a secluded cave and used a Formation Disk to return his Explorer Clone to the Dihuan Realm.
• Ye Qingxuan reunited with his Explorer Clone in Qingxuan Cave Heaven and lamented leaving behind the Yin Kui King's Corpse and a Tier 5 Demon Vein Source.
• Ye Qingxuan recognized that his Explorer Clone was blacklisted in Number Three and Number Nine Devil Realm Worlds, making future excursions dangerous, but sent it back to Number Nine Devil Realm with prepared trump cards.
• Ye Qingxuan fed lower-realm Azure Devil corpses and materials into the purification grand formation and sacrificed six Golden Core Realm Azure Devil corpses.
• Ye Qingxuan's cultivation rose substantially but did not reach Peak Golden Core Realm, leaving roughly seventy percent of the way from Late Golden Core Realm to Peak Golden Core Realm.
