Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun arrived in Central City to arrange an auction of his Void materials, with two Golden Crow True Immortals accompanying him. He rejected Tiantong's offer and refused a Grand Void Sect True Immortal's request to buy the materials before auction, leaving the True Immortal angry.

• Two Grand Void Sect Golden Core cultivators received Feng Jun and his companions at the Teleportation Array, and the Golden Crow True Immortals offered to pay to upgrade his Spirit-Gathering Formation.
• A Tiantong representative asked Feng Jun to entrust the auction to Tiantong, but Feng Jun refused because his priority was publicizing information about his attackers.

Feng Jun declined the Xuanhuang Sect’s request for a deduction and traveled with Liu Yiyi and two Golden Crow Sect True Immortals to hunt demon beasts on nearby planes while searching for clues about his attacker. On the Icefield Plane, he discovered a valuable Spirit Stone mine and began considering how to secure the land and mining rights with the Golden Crow Sect’s help.

• Feng Jun rejected Elder Hexu’s invitation to help deduce problems with the Xuanhuang Sect’s small-world fusion, despite the offer of payment and access to deduction experts.
• Feng Jun and Liu Yiyi traveled to Yibei with two Golden Crow Sect True Immortals and spent more than half a month hunting demon beasts on an island.

• Feng Jun, Liu Yiyi, and the two True Immortals searched for Han Po snow foxes on the Icefield Plane, where Feng Jun unexpectedly found a Spirit Stone mine.
• Feng Jun estimated that the mine extended about nine hundred li and contained Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, then asked how he and the Golden Crow Sect could obtain the land and exploration rights.

Feng Jun agreed to let Golden Crow Sect investigate a Spirit Stone Mine but decided he would rather take a payment than join a risky venture. While he and Liu Yiyi stayed in the snowy wilderness, a family trial party arrived nearby, and their Golden Cores became wary of the strangers’ bright searchlights and concealed identities.

• Two Golden Cores leading a family trial party asked to set up their Traveling Residences nearby, but Feng Jun told them to keep at least ten miles away.
• Liu Yiyi turned on a searchlight to feel safer, and the Kun Cultivation True Immortal soon lit one as well.
• When a Golden Core asked who they were, Feng Jun stayed silent and the Kun Cultivation True Immortal dismissed him as unworthy to know; the Golden Cores decided to report the encounter to their True Immortal ancestor.

Feng Jun learned that a tracking mark on Liu Yiyi’s Storage Pouch had activated, possibly drawing enemies after a Void treasure, and alerted the Golden Crow Sect female cultivator. He gathered Yi Jue, Elder Cang Jing, and True Immortal Shouzhong as reinforcements, and they arrived at the snowy hideout to prepare for the threat.

• After Feng Jun reported that the intruders had begun a second formation base, Elder Cang Jing volunteered to investigate, and Yi Jue warned that her approach could alert them.

Elder Cang Jing discovered that enemies from the Myriad Illusions Sect were preparing a formation to trap Feng Jun and capture his soul, so Yi Jue and the others organized a counterattack. Feng Jun stopped the formation core from being destroyed, then the Big Shot captured a Peak Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon while Elder Cang Jing killed its master.

• Elder Cang Jing identified the Five Elements Four Symbols Illusory Formation and warned Yi Jue that the Myriad Illusions Sect was involved.

Feng Jun revealed that he had sent a Peak Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon into the void, and Yi Jue assured Cang Jing that he did not resent her for not saving him.

• True Immortal Xing Shuo and Ouyang Beishan admitted their roles in targeting Feng Jun, while Ouyang Beishan claimed responsibility for the plot.
• Elder Cang Jing agreed to let the Golden Crow Sect take Xing Shuo and Ouyang Beishan, and Turbulence was found dead with his Nascent Soul annihilated.

• Cang Jing defended Feng Jun, and Grand Void Sect’s True Immortals left after declining to investigate further, while the local families insisted on answers.
• Cang Jing told the mystic-realm families that Mysterious Water Sect did not need to explain its business on its own land, and the Golden Crow Sect male cultivator was stunned to learn Mysterious Water Sect had bought the land.

Qian Cultivation of the Golden Crow Sect abandoned his plan to develop a Spirit Stone Mine after Feng Jun explained that doing so on land owned by the Mysterious Water Sect could lead to accusations of fraud. Feng Jun decided to inform the Mysterious Water Sect about the mine, then asked Elder Cang Jing why outsiders could hunt on its territory without paying a share.

• Qian Cultivation suggested buying the land and waiting a thousand years to mine it, but Feng Jun warned that the Mysterious Water Sect could demand he prove he had not planned to deceive them.
• Qian Cultivation accepted that the Mysterious Water Sect would not sell the land and gave up on developing the mine.
• Feng Jun decided to tell the Mysterious Water Sect about the mine as repayment for its help in battle, and asked Fairy Yi Jue to bring Elder Cang Jing to speak with him.

• Feng Jun asked Elder Cang Jing why outsiders could hunt within Mysterious Water Sect territory without the sect taking a share.

Feng Jun told Elder Cang Jing that he had discovered a Small Spirit Stone Mine on Mysterious Water Sect land and negotiated for a Primal Water Embryo as a reward.

• Elder Cang Jing explained that the Mysterious Water Sect allowed minor hunting in the outer regions of its land.
• Feng Jun revealed the Small Spirit Stone Mine and asked for a Primal Water Embryo in exchange for its location.

• Elder Cang Jing recognized the danger and declared that the Mysterious Water Sect would never yield.

Yi Jue urged Cang Jing to offer Feng Jun dry shares in the mine, arguing that the arrangement would benefit Mysterious Water Sect as well.

• Feng Jun argued that his ties to Grand Void Sect would help prove Mysterious Water Sect had not schemed against it, and Elder Cang Jing agreed to give him a Primal Water Embryo if a mine existed.

• Elder Cang Jing contacted Mysterious Water Sect's headquarters for support, then listened to Feng Jun's suggestions for improving her formation.

Feng Jun learned that the Golden Crow Sect would delay investigating Ouyang Beishan and Xing Shuo, while Yi Jue uncovered evidence implicating Iron Bone in the ambush. Refusing to wait for the sects to act, Feng Jun prepared to head to the Spirit Wood Dao and capture him.

• Venerable You Xuan found that Ouyang Beishan and Xing Shuo had a karmic connection to Wanqing, but the Myriad Illusions Sect refused to send a Venerable to investigate for a year or two.
• Feng Jun, Yi Jue, and Cang Jing doubted that the Myriad Illusions Sect alone was responsible for the ambush, and Feng Jun said he could not afford to wait years for answers.
• Yi Jue learned that Iron Bone had secretly traveled to a mining plane after hearing about the captured True Immortals, and she identified him as a likely ambush participant.

After settling near Cedar City, they faced an attempted extortion at their Traveling Residence, where Yi Jue exposed the threat and confronted the Golden Core thug.

• Yi Jue told the Golden Crow Sect True Immortals not to report Feng Jun's movements, and Feng Jun arranged for them to pretend he was still hunting on the Icefield in exchange for shares in the Spirit Stone Mine.
• A Mysterious Water Sect disciple disguised as Feng Jun accompanied the two Golden Crow Sect True Immortals, while Feng Jun, Yi Jue, and Elder Cang Jing entered the Spirit Wood Dao Auxiliary Gate with the Wood Envoy's help.

• On the fourth night, a Golden Core thug and four Emergence from Dust cultivators approached the Traveling Residence and demanded entry and identification.
• Yi Jue revealed her displayed Nascent Soul cultivation, recognized the thug's Spruce Society connection, and forced him to apologize after he admitted he had tried to extort them.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue used a disguise in Cedar City to deal with a Golden Core thug and recruit him as a source of local information. After arranging for him to gather market prices, they moved into the wilderness near the forbidden zone and posed as Spirit Planters.

• Yi Jue demanded compensation from the Golden Core Thug for attempting to extort them, and he backed down when she implied she could deal with him outside the rules.
• The Golden Core Thug offered his local knowledge instead of Spirit Stones, and Yi Jue sent him to negotiate with Feng Jun.
• Feng Jun introduced himself as Luo Hua and claimed that his young miss wanted to open a shop, asking the thug to gather Cedar City's Spirit Wood Dao prices.

• Feng Jun stalled Dongmen Old Third with cigarettes, Spirit Wine, and conversation until the Golden Core Thug left with the market prices and a contact address.

• Yi Jue questioned Feng Jun about his Divine Sense, but he avoided answering before returning to the Spirit Wood Dao region to contact the Wood Envoy.

• Feng Jun traveled to Cedar City and met Cang Jing at their arranged location, where they waited in the rain and discussed the coming battle.
• Dongmen Old Third arrived to conduct a Spirit Wood Dao inspection, recognized Feng Jun, and hinted that a major incident had occurred.

Feng Jun learned from Dongmen Old Third that Spirit Wood Dao had restricted travel from Cedar City after a True Immortal was taken, and he sought a way to leave. Spirit Wood Dao focused on monitoring Feng Jun’s spatial abilities and contacting Yi Jue, while a True Immortal was expected to inspect the city’s outside cultivators.

• Dongmen Old Third told Feng Jun that Cedar City residents could not leave and that searches would soon begin, prompting Feng Jun to consider asking a Spirit Wood Dao True Immortal for help.
• Feng Jun learned that Spirit Wood Dao knew Yi Jue and Feng Jun were responsible for the attack and was monitoring spatial fluctuations rather than prioritizing broad searches.
