Chapter Summary: The Supreme Enlightenment Platform Appears!

Key Plot Points and Events

• The area around Huanwu Mountain becomes increasingly violent as Emperor Scriptures, supreme supernatural arts, and ancient inheritances appear. The regions above the mountainside are dominated by powerful Emperor lineages, who ruthlessly eliminate unaffiliated prodigies.
• Wu Dao confronts the Heaven-Mending Sect after Wu Dao rebukes them for their arrogance. Their leader, Pu Ying, initially responds angrily, but Wu Dao suppresses him with only a fraction of his aura. Realizing the overwhelming difference in strength, Pu Ying retreats rather than risk provoking him.
• Wu Dao uses an enlightenment stele to obtain the Azure Emperor Salvation Scripture, an Emperor Scripture focused on vitality, healing, and body tempering. Thanks to the Primordial Star Mother’s computational power, he comprehends it almost instantly.
• His rapid comprehension frightens the Heaven-Mending Sect and other factions, who assume he must be a supreme prodigy backed by a Common Lord Faction. In reality, Wu Dao has no such backing and relies entirely on his own strength.
• Wu Dao travels across Huanwu Mountain, using magnetic-field sensing to locate Dao platforms containing inheritances. He quickly obtains more than ten Emperor Scriptures and collects fifty-seven of the seventy-two great supernatural powers, treating the inheritances as though he were casually gathering treasures.
• At the same time, his avatars and Origin Demons secretly occupy magnetic-field nodes around the mountain. Wu Dao prepares to reactivate the weakened Star Sea Grand Formation using World Heavy Artifacts and Creation Mother Liquid, intending to trap and hunt the powerful factions gathered on the mountain.
• As the imperial artifact’s suppression weakens, the blockade near the summit begins to collapse. More prodigies gain access to the upper regions, causing the mountain to become increasingly crowded and chaotic.
• Wu Dao leaves before the other prodigies can compare information and realize he has deceived them about his identity. The factions then discover that no known prodigy matches him, leaving them humiliated and suspicious.
• The final starlight seal on the summit breaks. Huanwu Mountain trembles, the Dao platforms submit, and dazzling visions of scriptures, divine beings, sacred realms, and Great Dao phenomena fill the cosmos.
• Five supreme purple Enlightenment Platforms appear, each containing one of the five highest supernatural powers of the Heavens Martial Armory. Their emergence draws the attention of every major faction and signals the coming struggle among the strongest prodigies.
• Wu Chen recognizes that obtaining one of these supreme arts will be extraordinarily difficult. He must also resolve his karmic conflict with Mo Chen, creating a major choice between pursuing supreme power and settling his old entanglement.

Character Developments

• Wu Dao demonstrates overwhelming strength, extreme composure, and exceptional strategic intelligence. Rather than waste effort fighting insignificant enemies, he avoids unnecessary conflict while secretly preparing a large-scale trap.
• His ability to instantly comprehend Emperor Scriptures reveals the terrifying advantage provided by the Primordial Star Mother and establishes him as an anomaly even among the strongest prodigies.
• Wu Dao also becomes more cautious. He realizes that repeatedly frightening others into retreat will eventually expose the fact that he lacks the background they assume, so he withdraws before the factions can organize against him.
• Pu Ying shifts from arrogance and fury to fear, pragmatism, and humiliation. Though initially tempted to retaliate, he recognizes that Wu Dao is far beyond him and chooses survival. Later, he becomes enraged after learning that Wu Dao may have been bluffing about his identity.
• Wu Chen remains ambitious but thoughtful. He understands the value of the supreme supernatural powers while recognizing the enormous competition and the personal obstacle posed by Mo Chen.
• Big Black Wolf continues to encourage Wu Chen to seize the supreme inheritance, primarily because stronger power will help restore the Abi Blade.

Significant Themes

• Strength and hierarchy: The mountain’s inheritances expose the brutal divide between ordinary factions, Emperor lineages, and supreme forces. Power determines who is allowed to compete and who is immediately destroyed.
• Arrogance versus prudence: The Heaven-Mending Sect’s inherited prestige has produced tyrannical arrogance, but Pu Ying survives because he is capable of recognizing an insurmountable opponent and yielding.

• Accumulation versus competition: While others fight desperately over individual inheritances, Wu Dao quietly gathers them in large numbers, showing the difference between ordinary contest and overwhelming personal ability.
• Preparation for large-scale conflict: Wu Dao’s secret arrangement of the Star Sea Grand Formation suggests that the true battle will not be a series of isolated duels, but a planned blitzkrieg against the factions gathered on Huanwu Mountain.
• Power versus personal obligations: Wu Chen’s desire for a supreme supernatural power conflicts with his unresolved karmic relationship with Mo Chen, setting up a difficult choice.

Character Interactions

• Wu Dao and Pu Ying clash verbally and spiritually. Wu Dao’s aura completely overwhelms Pu Ying, forcing the latter to apologize and withdraw.
• Pu Ying later discusses Wu Dao with other factions, discovering that none of them know his true identity. Their shared humiliation turns their fear into anger and suspicion.
• Wu Dao directs Ergou, his avatars, and the Origin Demons to occupy strategic formation nodes, demonstrating his role as the planner behind the coming trap.
• Wu Chen consults with Big Black Wolf inside his Grotto-Heaven. The wolf urges him to pursue the supreme supernatural powers, while Wu Chen remains wary of the dangers and recognizes that his conflict with Mo Chen must also be addressed.

Summary — “Fated Battle, Part 1”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Five Creation Realm experts representing the major Common Lord factions—Chaos City, Qingming World’s Wuji Dao Palace, Xuanhuang World’s Ascending Dragon Celestial Dynasty, Daluo World’s Luotian Sword Realm, and Luanxing Heaven’s Star God Temple—seize the five Supreme Dao Platforms in Taiyi Emperor Star.
• Their attempt to monopolize the platforms and the supreme Supernatural Powers provokes outrage among the orthodox Dao lineages. The Accumulated Thunder Imperial Palace openly condemns the Common Lords, arguing that Taiyi Emperor Star is a shared inheritance rather than the property of any single faction.
• To settle the dispute, the Common Lord factions establish a competition: only prodigies above the Twenty-Four Heavens may participate, and victory will be decided through Gu Fighting.
• Nearly a hundred Common Lord Dao Seeds step forward. All are under a hundred years old, and several are powerful enough to rival Su Chen, especially those whose Three Daos have advanced together. The ordinary Dao lineages are intimidated by the enormous disparity in quality and numbers.
• Before the larger battle begins, Kongdongzi of Wuji Dao Palace asks to temporarily use one Dao Platform for a junior seeking to settle a grievance. His unusually deferential request makes the surrounding factions curious and cautious.
• Mo Chen appears and identifies himself as a disciple of Xuanhuang World’s Taiqing Lineage. His background immediately commands respect because of the Taiqing Empress’s fearsome reputation and connection to the Heavenly Court.
• Mo Chen challenges a “little bastard from Poyi Alley”—clearly Wu Chen—to fight him over an old grievance.
• Wu Chen consults Big Black Wolf, who warns that Mo Chen’s identity and backing make the battle extremely dangerous. Nevertheless, Wu Chen refuses to retreat because avoiding the fight would damage his Dao Heart and allow Mo Chen to suppress the momentum connected to their Great Dao oath.
• With Big Black Wolf agreeing to support him, Wu Chen charges onto the Supreme Enlightenment Platform. His arrival shocks the spectators, who recognize him as a monstrous prodigy exceeding the Twenty-Fifth Heaven of the Three Daos.
• Wu Chen transforms using the Heavenly Dragon Art, taking the form of a golden Primordial Heavenly Dragon. His terrifying physique and blood-qi astonish the spectators, since such a transformation generally requires an Indestructible Physique.
• The chapter ends as Wu Chen’s dragon body and devastating tail strike seal off Mo Chen’s escape routes. Mo Chen senses genuine danger in Wu Chen’s transformed strength, realizing that Wu Chen has undergone a significant transformation since their previous encounter.

• Yaya: Watches the confrontation with growing interest and suppressed bloodlust. She considers whether to use a potentially fate-defying trump card against Mo Chen, but hesitates because she may have only one opportunity.
• Little Colorful Sparrow: Warns Yaya of the danger surrounding the battle. Her foresight detects that fortune and misfortune are intertwined, suggesting that the conflict may contain both a deadly threat and a rare opportunity.
• Kongdongzi: Initially helps arrange the confrontation and behaves graciously toward the other factions, but his hidden confidence and mysterious reaction suggest that Wu Chen’s opponent has powerful protection.
• The Star God Temple expert: Shows admiration for Wu Chen’s talent and regrets that political circumstances may lead such a promising young cultivator into a fatal battle.

Significant Themes

• Power and political backing: The competition is not simply about individual strength. The Common Lord factions attempt to control access to the Supreme Dao Platforms, while the orthodox lineages must rely on unity and carefully avoid provoking a devastating war.
• Shared inheritance versus factional monopoly: Taiyi Emperor Star is presented as a treasure belonging to the entire Hongyuan world, creating a conflict between collective rights and the Common Lords’ claim to authority.
• Pride, grudges, and the Dao Heart: Wu Chen’s refusal to retreat shows how personal humiliation can become spiritually and philosophically significant. To him, abandoning the fight would mean allowing Mo Chen to break his Dao momentum.
• Fate and opportunity: Yaya’s visions of intertwined fortune and misfortune imply that the battle may have consequences extending beyond the immediate duel.
• Hidden strength and transformation: Wu Chen’s unexpected advancement challenges the assumption that Mo Chen will easily defeat him as he did twenty years earlier.
