Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng bargained with Gu Xun'er for territory in the Ancient Clan in exchange for Treasure Pills, while both concealed their hostile plans from each other. After Gu Xun'er left, Lin Feng prepared to claim the territory and pursue the Golden Core, intending to master the Pill Control Art first.

• Gu Xun'er accepted one Treasure Pill from Lin Feng and agreed to collect the remaining two later in exchange for the territory.
• Gu Xun'er asked Lin Feng to help the Ancient Clan against the Soul Clan, while privately plotting to kill him after avenging Xiao Yan.
• Lin Feng asked when war with the Soul Clan would begin, but Gu Xun'er evaded the question and told him to take over his territory.
• Gu Xun'er promised to bring Lin Feng the Key of Darkness, and the two parted after kissing.
• Lin Feng concluded the Ancient Clan would use him as cannon fodder and planned to have Yun'er take over the territory while he mastered the Pill Control Art.
• Lin Feng sent soul messages to Qing Lin and the others, then headed toward the Shennong Mountain Range.

After Gu Xun'er brought the Key of Darkness to Lin Feng, he secured it and let Xiao Yu choose between receiving the Xiao Clan’s Dou Di bloodline or becoming his concubine. Gu Xun'er then asked Lin Feng to refine pills for the Ancient Clan ahead of its war with the Soul Clan, leaving him wary of her motives.

• Lin Feng returned to the Lin Realm after Gu Xun'er said she had brought the key, and he greeted her while Xiao Yu watched.
• Lin Feng deliberately acted intimately with Gu Xun'er in front of Xiao Yu, then confirmed Xiao Yu’s identity and asked for the key.
• Xiao Yu handed over the Key of Darkness, and Lin Feng recognized it as the matching half needed to open the Black and White Iron Box.
• Lin Feng offered Xiao Yu the Xiao Clan’s Dou Di bloodline or the role of his concubine; Xiao Yu chose to become his concubine and planned to give the bloodline to Xiao Ning.
• Lin Feng gave Xiao Yu the bloodline and paid Gu Xun'er two Ninth-grade Treasure Pills as the remaining payment for the territory.
• After Xiao Yu left, Gu Xun'er asked Lin Feng to refine Ninth-grade Mysterious Pills for the Ancient Clan, and he suspected she had ulterior motives.

Lin Feng sent Gu Xun'er back to the Ancient Realm after promising to refine pills for her in a few months, then prepared to capture a Ninth-grade Golden Core in the southeastern region of Central Province. He entered the Golden Core Grandmaster Ruins with Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Little Nine, warning them to stay alert against the powerful Golden Core within.

• Lin Feng put off refining pills for Gu Xun'er until after his planned advancement and told her the Ancient Void Dragon Clan remained reluctant to ally with the Ancient Clan.
• Gu Xun'er left the Lin Realm with Xiao Yu, and Qing Lin sought reassurance from Lin Feng before he decided to capture the Ninth-grade Golden Core with her, Xiao Yi Xian, and Little Nine.
• Lin Feng traveled with Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian to the southeastern border of Central Province and identified a stone slab as the entrance to the Golden Core Grandmaster Ruins.
• Lin Feng summoned Little Nine and warned the three women that a Peak Eight-star Dou Sheng-level Golden Core might ambush them inside.
• Lin Feng prepared to have Xiao Ling devour the space around the ruins, cautioned the women that this would weaken his combat strength, and asked Xiao Yi Xian to hold Qing Lin in case the entrance teleported them apart.

Lin Feng and his companions entered the ruined small world to capture the Ninth-grade Golden Core, only to discover it had reached Early Nine-star Dou Sheng. Their coordinated attacks wounded and pressured it, but the battle remained unresolved as the Golden Core targeted Lin Feng.

• Lin Feng, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Little Nine entered the small world while Xiao Ling sealed it off and Lin Feng and Qing Lin searched the ruins with Soul Power.
• Lin Feng and Qing Lin sensed that the Ninth-grade Golden Core had advanced to Early Nine-star Dou Sheng, then the golden-robed man appeared and confronted them.
• Lin Feng transformed into his Dragon Phoenix form and struck the Golden Core while Xiao Yi Xian and Little Nine attacked, briefly driving it back.
• The Golden Core counterattacked and sent Lin Feng flying, but Xiao Ling bombarded it with World Burning Emperor Lotuses, revealing its wariness of Heavenly Flames.
• The Golden Core focused its attacks on Lin Feng, who evaded it with his speed and Emperor Soul Realm awareness while the women continued their assault.

Lin Feng and his allies battled the Ninth-grade Golden Core, who unleashed two powerful Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragons. Lin Feng captured one with Hun Yuantian’s help, while the golden-robed man’s attack failed to stop him, and the fight continued with the second dragon and the Golden Core still a threat.

• Lin Feng used the Deathly Silence Gate and Qing Lin’s soul attack to create openings, but the Ninth-grade Golden Core endured the group’s assault.
• The Ninth-grade Golden Core released two nearly Nine-star Dou Sheng Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragons, and Lin Feng assigned Little Nine to hold one while he fought the other.
• Lin Feng strengthened his body with the Heavenly Stone Myriad Ancient Body and used his speed and a soul attack to disable one Thunder Dragon.
• Hun Yuantian struck the weakened dragon, and Lin Feng used the Deathly Silence Gate to capture it.
• The enraged Ninth-grade Golden Core forced Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin back and hurled a golden spear at Lin Feng, but Xiao Ling destroyed it with Emperor Lotuses and escaped while taunting him.

Lin Feng and his allies captured the Ninth-grade Golden Core after exhausting the Dou Di bloodlines, then looted the remaining treasures in the ruins and left. Meanwhile, an unseen woman beyond the Dou Qi Continent’s barrier found that she could partially pass through it and ordered Han Yu to lure a tree to her so she could speed up her transition to Dou Qi cultivation.

• Lin Feng, Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, Hun Yuantian, and Little Nine injured the Golden Core and its Nine Profound Golden Dragon before Lin Feng used the Dou Di bloodlines to strengthen his Pill Control Art and force the Golden Core back into pill form.
• Lin Feng identified the captured pill as the Origin Augmentation Pill and said refining it could help him advance to Nine-star Dou Sheng.
• Lin Feng, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin searched the ruins and discovered that the Golden Core had consumed the pills and medicinal herbs, so they collected the surviving techniques, flames, weapons, and other items before leaving.
• Beyond the world barrier, an unknown woman tried to enter the Dou Qi Continent, partially passed through the barrier, and was thrown back when her shoulder struck the restriction.
• The woman sent Han Yu a message to lure a tree to her so she could accelerate her switch to Dou Qi cultivation.

Lin Feng entered the Ancient Southern Continent to repair Pingnan Pass and complete the Ninth-grade Golden Core, but the Tong Ling Sect pursued him as he restored the city’s defenses. A Wolf Soul slipped inside before the barriers closed, and Lin Feng unleashed a soul attack to counter its overwhelming speed.

• Lin Feng decided to complete the Ninth-grade Golden Core in the Ancient Southern Continent, then traveled there and hurried north toward Pingnan Pass.
• Lin Feng activated Pingnan Pass’s controller, sent a clone to repair a damaged pillar, and replenished the city’s energy while Qiu Yue and Han Yu led pursuers toward him.
• Lin Feng’s clone repaired the pillar just before Qiu Yue’s group arrived, and the pass’s golden barriers sealed them outside, though a cyan Wolf Soul slipped inside at the last moment.
• Lin Feng summoned a Yao Clan elder from the Deathly Silence Gate to control the pass while he fought the Wolf Soul, which destroyed his clone and repeatedly attacked at extreme speed.
• Lin Feng ordered the elder to use the pass’s power to slow the Wolf Soul, then formed a giant with his Emperor Soul and unleashed Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath.

Lin Feng and Xiao Ling fought Wolf Soul at Pingnan Pass, using the pass’s grand formation and the Forbidden Item Box to trap and injure him. Wolf Soul survived the battle as a badly wounded two-headed wolf, and Lin Feng resolved to kill him before he could become a future threat.

• Lin Feng and Xiao Ling attacked Wolf Soul, but he unleashed Origin Energy and annihilated the Emperor Lotuses.
• Lin Feng ordered the Yao Clan elder to activate Pingnan Pass’s grand formation, which blasted Wolf Soul away while Han Yu and the others attacked the city walls.
• Lin Feng and Xiao Ling pursued Wolf Soul; he created an Ice Realm and revealed that the Tong Ling Sect Master had been his master and that he had devoured her separated soul.
• Lin Feng merged with Xiao Ling using Myriad Fire True Body and trapped one of Wolf Soul’s ice-wolf avatars inside a Forbidden Item Box made from Life Devouring Grass.
• Lin Feng’s powerful Emperor Lotus explosion destroyed the Ice Realm and badly injured Wolf Soul as he tried to rescue his remaining avatar.
• Lin Feng recognized Wolf Soul as a serious future danger and declared that he would kill him.

Lin Feng and the Yao Clan elder defeated Wolf Soul by combining the Pingnan Pass array, soul-targeting techniques, and Heavenly Flames, forcing Wolf Soul to self-destruct. Han Yu and Qiu Yue withdrew with the Tong Ling Sect Dou Shengs to ask their sect master what to do next.

• The Yao Clan elder’s array and Lin Feng’s attacks trapped Wolf Soul, while Lin Feng’s Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and Soul Refining Spirit Suppressing Array weakened him.
• Lin Feng began forming a destructive Fire Lotus as the Yao Clan elder continued attacking Wolf Soul with the Pingnan Pass array.
• Wolf Soul tried to self-destruct and pursue Lin Feng, but Lin Feng fled beyond the blast’s reach before the combined attacks triggered the explosion.
• Han Yu, Qiu Yue, and the Tong Ling Sect Dou Shengs watched Wolf Soul perish and lamented the loss of their sect master’s Spirit Pet.
• Han Yu advised the Tong Ling Sect group to return and await their sect master’s decision, and Qiu Yue led them away from Pingnan Pass.

Lin Feng defeated Wolf Soul but let Han Yu, Qiu Yue, and the Tong Ling Sect forces retreat, then assigned guards and sent his allies to search Pingnan Pass for resources. Elsewhere, Nihility Devouring Flame consumed the Soul Clan’s collected Soul Origins and entered the Emperor Soul Realm, while Hun Tiandi watched and prepared for his own advance to Dou Di.

• Lin Feng returned to Pingnan Pass after defeating Wolf Soul, but Han Yu and Qiu Yue had already led the surviving Tong Ling Sect Dou Sheng south, so he abandoned the pursuit.
• Lin Feng summoned Lei Qian, Xuan Yi, Hun Yuantian, and a Yao Clan elder, then ordered them to recover, search the pass city for resources, and guard its defenses.
• In a dark realm, Nihility Devouring Flame devoured the Soul Origins delivered by his followers until his soul power entered the Emperor Soul Realm.
• The Soul Clan followers congratulated Nihility Devouring Flame, while Hun Tiandi watched and reflected on the Soul Clan’s methods for collecting Soul Origins and advancing him toward Dou Di.

Nihility Devouring Flame reached the Emperor Soul Realm and reunited Hun Tiandi’s eight pieces of Ancient Jade, summoning Tou She Ancient God’s phantom. After Hun Tiandi’s attack rebounded, Nihility Devouring Flame revealed that the cave mansion’s location was hidden in the phantom’s eyes and began projecting the image from them.

• Hun Tiandi helped Nihility Devouring Flame reach the Emperor Soul Realm by supplying him with accumulated souls and Soul Origin.
• Nihility Devouring Flame reminded Hun Tiandi that their agreement included letting him take the Heavenly Flame origins inside the cave mansion, and Hun Tiandi agreed while secretly planning to withhold them.
• Hun Tiandi gave Nihility Devouring Flame the eight pieces of Ancient Jade, and Nihility Devouring Flame used his blood essence to fuse them into one complete jade.
• The complete jade produced Tou She Ancient God’s phantom, and Hun Tiandi’s attack was reflected back, blasting him through several halls.
• Nihility Devouring Flame explained that the cave mansion’s location was hidden in the phantom’s eyes, then used beams from his eyes to project a magnified image into the sky.

Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame began searching for the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion while Hun Tiandi recovered, and Lin Feng opened the Black and White Iron Box after sacrificing two medicinal cauldrons to its keys. A mysterious black-and-white-robed figure appeared from the box, leaving Lin Feng facing an unknown revelation.

• The Tou She Ancient God's phantom revealed an underground magma region ending at the Ancient God's Cave Mansion, but Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame could not identify its location.
• Hun Tiandi ordered the Soul Clan to search the other continents and told Nihility Devouring Flame to prepare for refining the Emperor Grade Nascent Pill while he recovered.
• Lin Feng decided to bring his concubines into the areas controlled by the Tong Ling Sect after concluding they likely lacked another weapon capable of breaching Pingnan Pass City.
• Lin Feng took the Black and White Iron Box to a secluded field and discovered that its joined keys absorbed the Black Nether Cauldron and Holy Radiance Cauldron.
• Lin Feng used the empowered key to open the box, releasing a huge light screen and a hooded figure wearing black-and-white robes.

Lin Feng encountered a black-and-white Dou Di remnant image, which warned him that the Tong Ling Sect Ancestor was abandoning her Origin Energy cultivation to escape her seal and could reach the Dou Qi Continent within five years. The remnant image then demanded that Lin Feng answer its questions, leaving him forced to comply despite fearing for his family.

• Lin Feng cautiously approached the motionless remnant image, layering himself in protections, until it awakened and its voice overwhelmed him.
• The remnant image recognized Lin Feng's connection to the Hundred Source Continent and warned that his plans against the Tong Ling Sect would fail before overwhelming strength.
• Lin Feng realized the threat was the Tong Ling Sect Ancestor sealed outside the Dou Qi Continent, and the remnant image confirmed she was converting her cultivation to escape.
• The remnant image estimated that the Ancestor could enter the Dou Qi Continent within five years, alarming Lin Feng about the danger to his family.
• The remnant image insisted that Lin Feng answer its questions and threatened him, so he agreed to tell it what he knew.

Lin Feng learned that the afterimage was Zhang Yuan, a High-level Demon Slayer from the Great Thousand World who had once sought a Plane Embryo. After Lin Feng explained that the Hundred Source Continent’s people wanted him to open a passage, he appealed to Zhang Yuan for help against their threatened revenge.

• Lin Feng told the afterimage that the Dou Qi Continent was dominated by the Soul Clan and Ancient Clan, whose peak Dou Sheng leaders were fighting, and that no Dou Di had appeared for tens of thousands of years.
• The afterimage concluded that his original body and its allies had lost the great battle, while Lin Feng inferred it was the war between the Great Thousand World and the Outer-realm Evil Clan.
• The afterimage revealed that his name was Zhang Yuan, his title was Reincarnation, and he was a High-level Demon Slayer who had not yet reached Heavenly Supreme.
• Lin Feng recognized Zhang Yuan’s rank and explained that he had learned about the Great Thousand World from ruins left by experts who sealed the continent.
• Zhang Yuan guessed that the northern seal had been built to stop the Hundred Source Continent’s people from invading the Dou Qi Continent, and said he had visited that continent while searching for a Plane Embryo.
• Lin Feng told Zhang Yuan that the Hundred Source Continent’s people had tried to capture him and force him to open a passage, then asked for help after killing their ancestor’s spirit pet.

Lin Feng received the Black and White Iron Box inheritance, which transformed his body and gave him powerful life-and-death abilities, though it drained his cultivation before restoring it to Mid Eight-star Dou Sheng. He learned that Hun Tiandi and the Tong Ling Sect Ancestor threatened the Dou Qi Continent, and resolved to keep following Hun Tiandi in hopes of obtaining Origin Emperor Qi.

• The remnant image refused to intervene in the Hundred Source Continent’s affairs and sent the inheritance from the Black and White Iron Box into Lin Feng.
• The inheritance destroyed Lin Feng’s body, expelled Xiao Ling into a mountain cliff, and rebuilt him with stronger bones, flesh, and organs.
• Lin Feng awakened a second Dou Qi Vortex and the Life and Death Samsara Body, while his new power of life and death briefly killed and revived nearby plants.
• The inheritance drained Lin Feng from Peak Eight-star to Early Five-star Dou Sheng, then restored him to Mid Eight-star before granting him the Life and Death Art and Life Devouring Wheel.
• Lin Feng learned that the box’s Source Qi had mostly been consumed and decided to keep following Hun Tiandi for a chance to obtain Origin Emperor Qi.
• Lin Feng recognized that Hun Tiandi and the Tong Ling Sect Ancestor posed major threats to the Dou Qi Continent.

Lin Feng inspected his transformed body and discovered it had gained immense vitality and a second Dou Qi circulation system, despite losing the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline and two minor stages of Dou Qi strength. He examined the treasures in the Black and White Iron Box, stored them away, and decided to remain in the Dou Qi Continent for now while keeping an escape plan in case the Tong Ling Sect Ancestor threatened his family.

• Lin Feng found that his vitality had increased more than tenfold and that he could still summon his Heavenly Phoenix Wings despite his Dragon Phoenix Bloodline disappearing.
• Lin Feng discovered his meridians now contained a second Dou Qi circulation system, letting him operate two Cultivation Methods and Fighting Skills at once, though the new vortex had lowered his Dou Qi strength by two minor stages.
• Lin Feng opened the Black and White Iron Box and identified the Book of Death, the Book of Light, the World-Breaking Cone, and the Void Boat.
• Lin Feng stored the treasures because he still intended to compete for the Ancient Emperor Inheritance in Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion and did not want to abandon his wives' families.
• Lin Feng considered taking his whole family to another world if necessary and looked south toward the Ancient Southern Continent, worried about the Tong Ling Sect Ancestor.

After the Black and White Iron Box reconstructed Lin Feng’s body, he discovered that his strength had fallen but that he could now cultivate a second method without conflicts. He began cultivating the dangerous Life and Death Judgment and explained his transformation to the women when he returned to the Lin Realm.

• Lin Feng examined the World Seeking Map and put it away, then scolded Xiao Ling after she emerged and noticed how much he had changed.
• Lin Feng considered the risks and benefits of the Life and Death Judgment and began cultivating it for his new qi vortex.
• Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and the other women noticed Lin Feng’s diminished strength and feared he had been injured.
• Lin Feng explained that the change came from an opportunity inside the Black and White Iron Box and described obtaining a Dou Emperor inheritance.
• The women were astonished to learn that Lin Feng had uncovered the box’s inheritance after it had remained mysterious for more than ten thousand years.

Lin Feng gathered his household to prepare for the dangerous Ancient Southern Continent, hoping to raise their strength before a Dou Emperor-level enemy emerged. Most of his concubines agreed to explore the ruins with him, while five stayed behind to guard the Lin Realm as Lin Feng departed for the Yao Realm.

• Lin Feng and the women agreed to focus on strengthening themselves in the Ancient Southern Continent rather than dwell on the coming threat.
• Cai Lin summoned Lin Feng's concubines, and he assessed their strengths and planned how they could gather resources to improve their cultivation.
• More than sixty concubines arrived, and Lin Feng offered them the choice of exploring the ruins or remaining in the Lin Realm; five chose to stay behind.
• Lin Feng led the sixty-one willing concubines through a spatial passage to the Yao Realm and instructed the five who stayed to send Zhao Ran there if she returned.
• Lin Feng reassured the five remaining concubines, then entered the spatial passage to join the others on their journey to the ruins.

Three women returned safely to Pingnan Pass after escaping Tong Ling Sect pursuers, while Hansu worried about the coming battle. The next day, Lin Feng strengthened his allies’ Deathly Silence Gates and led them south to face Han Yu and Qiu Yue, who had challenged them with an unknown weapon prepared by their Ancestor.

• Twenty-third Sister, Twenty-seventh Sister, and Thirtieth Sister escaped Tong Ling Sect pursuers and returned to Pingnan Pass, where Hansu comforted them and directed them to give their spoils to Xiao Yi Xian.
• Hansu worried that the battle expected the next day could cost her sisters their lives, despite their improved equipment and growing strength.
• Qiu Yue told Han Yu he wanted to crush Xiao Yan’s forces, and Han Yu said their Ancestor’s gift would help them gravely injure Xiao Yan.
• Lin Feng warned Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Cai Lin, the Three Beauties of Pill Tower, Yun Yun, and Zhao Ran to prepare for the Tong Ling Sect’s hidden plans.
• Lin Feng infused seven women’s Deathly Silence Gates with Death Force, then led his more than fifty concubines south to accept the Tong Ling Sect’s challenge.
• Qiu Yue accused Xiao Yan of past betrayals and killing Senior Three-Headed Sky Wolf, and Lin Feng mocked the Tong Ling Sect for losing territory and urged its members to change sides.

Lin Feng’s group ambushed Qiu Yue with a coordinated barrage, blasting him away and leaving him badly scorched. He returned and joined Han Yu in launching a full battle against Lin Feng’s forces, with both sides sending their fighters and summoned allies into combat.

• Qiu Yue charged Lin Feng alone, and Lin Feng’s group struck him with nearly seventy Fighting Skills, sending him flying hundreds of miles.
• Lin Feng, Xiao Yi Xian, and Cai Lin entered the fading shockwaves and began fighting Han Yu’s group while the other women waited outside.
• Qiu Yue returned scorched black, complained that his allies had not helped him, and urged them to attack Lin Feng’s side together.
• Han Yu ordered his fighters and Spirit Pets to engage Lin Feng’s women, while Lin Feng’s side deployed its puppets, Fire Slaves, and other allies.
• Lin Feng assigned Xiao Yi Xian, Cai Lin, and Qing Lin to deal with Han Yu and attacked Qiu Yue himself.
