Chapter Summaries

Ye Qingxuan continued cultivating and preparing treasures for his external incarnation’s planned auction in the East Extremity Domain, while assessing the resources needed to advance Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land. He concluded that its origin could be strengthened with Spirit Vein Sources and Azure Devil Realm materials, but its Elemental Profound Meaning Rules still required a broader range of Spirit Minerals; the chapter ends as he considers how worlds can advance by verifying each other.

• Ye Qingxuan cultivated in his main body and refined treasures, pills, talismans, formation disks, and flying ships for his external incarnation’s future auction.
• Ye Qingxuan judged that his prepared goods could attract Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators, but would not reliably deter Spirit Transmutation Realm Cultivators without powerful formations or high-grade items.
• Ye Qingxuan considered Spirit Crystals as a route to items above Sixth Order, but decided not to pursue Contribution Points to obtain them because he did not urgently need them.
• Ye Qingxuan’s Tianfu Shop maintained stable profits and continued buying Spirit Minerals, though its purchases declined as he exhausted common low-grade varieties around Xuantian Sect.

• Ye Qingxuan reflected that worlds could accelerate their advancement through living beings’ cultivation systems and by verifying their rules against other worlds.

Five years after Ye Qingxuan’s Main Consciousness returned, Ye Qingxiao came back from more than seventy years in the Lower Realm with his dao companion, Yu Xueqing, and described the changing war across the Nine Realms.

• Ye Qingxuan considered whether the chaos in the fallen Nine Realms could help his clone develop and advance more quickly.

Ye Qingxuan decided to prepare to cast and operate a city in the Xuanmu Realm, where the Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills Ye Qingxiao promoted had become popular. He gave Ye Qingxiao a supply of pills and treasures, then urged him and Yu Xueqing to drink the beneficial tea.

• Cultivators from the Dihuan Realm poured into the fallen Nine Realms, casting cities despite Azure Devil Race attacks, and Ye Qingxuan saw an opportunity to establish a city of his own in the Xuanmu Realm.

• Ye Qingxiao asked Ye Qingxuan for Spirit Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills, and Ye Qingxuan handed him a Storage Bag containing pills and several Spirit Treasures.
• Ye Qingxiao resolved to use fewer pills at a time, while Ye Qingxuan reminded him and Yu Xueqing to drink the tea he had prepared.

After Liu Tai'an left, Cen Zhe reflected on the coming great era and concealed Ye Qingxuan’s true cultivation with the sect’s grand formation.

After completing the City Components and sending them to his clone in Star War City, he was interrupted by a young visitor asking for Foundation Establishment Pills.

• Cen Zhe accepted Ye Qingxuan's Nuclear Explosion Pill recipe and told Liu Tai'an to prepare for a breakthrough to the Void Glimpse Realm.

• After his breakthrough, Luo Tian continued refining his Spiritual Power through the Bronze Fragment, leaving his cultivation purified and his breakthrough complete.

Ye Qingxuan’s Mysterious Merchant Clone entered the Xuanmu Realm to register a city called Mysterious Mall and travel to a location already chosen by his Explorer Clone. He arrived at a vast plain near the Human Race and Azure Devil Race battlefront and prepared to build the city.

• Ye Qingxuan entered Xuanmu City and learned that cultivators could register new cities and collect a Formation Base at the City Lord’s Mansion.
• At the City Lord’s Mansion, a Xuantian Sect cultivator warned Ye Qingxuan that a Golden Core cultivator faced poor odds of successfully building a city, but registered Mysterious Merchant’s plans for Mysterious Mall.

• Ye Qingxuan removed the concealment formation and detonated eight Tier 3 Nuclear Explosion Pills to attract nearby Azure Devil Race cultivators, whose experts detected Mysterious Mall.

Ye Qingxuan waited for the Azure Devil Race to attack his newly built city while Human Race cultivators gathered in the surrounding mountains, hoping to ambush them. When forty-three Azure Devil Race Nascent Soul cultivators began bombarding the city from a distance, Ye Qingxuan weakened its barrier and provoked them into advancing.

• Xie Wu and Xie Yin concluded that the city relied on a defensive formation and ordered the Azure Devil Race to advance, with several newly promoted cultivators leading the charge.

The surviving Azure Devil Race cultivators fled, and Human Race experts pursued them as Ye Qingxuan fixed his attention on the wounded Xie Yin.

• Ye Qingxuan drew the Azure Devil Race’s attacks into his Purification Formation while his Tier Six Guardian Great Formation withstood their assault and two Tier Six Talismans.

Ten years after Ye Qingxuan established the Mysterious Mall, it had become busier as cultivators from both realms fought across the Lower Realms and used its teleportation network. Ye Qingxuan advanced Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land to Tier 3 Mid-stage and prepared Ye Family’s hundred-year dividend before Ye Yuhong arrived and noticed a Spirit Treasure cushion.
