Chapter Summaries

Yi Jue, Iron Bone, and the spirit woods fought amid the Sky-Piercing Vine’s rampage until it tore open the Void, whose suction began pulling the battlefield into the crack. Feng Jun and Qingji joined Yi Jue as she was dragged in, while Iron Bone and the Sky-Piercing Vine were pulled into the Void on the other side.

• The berserk Sky-Piercing Vine attacked the Dragon-Scale Tree, Iron Bone, and Yi Jue, forcing the two cultivators to dodge while continuing their fight.
• Feng Jun shouted the warning signal “Yichou,” and Yi Jue acknowledged him just before the Jade Spore Skyworm ambushed the Sky-Piercing Vine again.
• The Sky-Piercing Vine thrashed violently and tore open a crack in the sky, creating a Void whose suction dragged nearby plants and cultivators toward it.
• Iron Bone tried to escape, but the Void’s pull trapped him and Yi Jue near the center of the battlefield.
• Feng Jun asked Qingji to release him, and Qingji took him to Yi Jue, who wrapped her whisk around him as they were pulled toward the Void.
• A white insect landed on Yi Jue’s shoulder as Iron Bone and the Sky-Piercing Vine were sucked into the crack, with one of its branches carrying part of the Dragon-Scale Wood.

Yi Jue, Qingji, and Feng Jun searched the Void for Iron Bone while recovering their spirit energy on a drifting rock. Yi Jue brought Shou Xin, a cultivator with a Spatial Physique, to operate a formation, and Big Shot revealed that Jade Spore Skyworm eggs could survive in the Void.

• Qingji explained that she had followed Feng Jun into the Void to protect him, and Yi Jue agreed they should kill Iron Bone before leaving.
• The Jade Spore Skyworm sensed Iron Bone, and Feng Jun said they should recover their spirit energy on a Big Rock before pursuing him.
• Yi Jue and Qingji agreed that Qingji would keep Feng Jun's Void method secret, then Feng Jun shifted them to a Big Rock that seemed to drift through the Void.
• Yi Jue released Shou Xin, a spatial-attribute cultivator she had recruited, to operate a Defensive Formation Disk, and Feng Jun released Liu Yiyi to assist.
• Feng Jun asked Big Shot whether the Jade Spore Skyworm had Void bloodline, and Big Shot said it was a failed creation whose eggs could survive in the Void.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue waited in the Void while Yi Jue recovered, and Feng Jun let Elder Qingji collect nearby materials. The group remained focused on catching Steel Bone, while Qingji found a piece of Chaotic Wind Gold and received Feng Jun’s permission to take it.

• The Big Shot explained that the Sky-Piercing Vine could endure the Void for a time, while the Jade Spore Skyworm drifted outside the formation and tried to take root.
• Shou Xin asked Liu Yiyi about the Void, and Liu Yiyi assured her they could return safely but warned her not to spread word of the trip.
• Yi Jue rested to recover her Divine Soul and blood essence, while Feng Jun promised to catch Steel Bone and told Qingji she could gather nearby Void materials.
• Yi Jue urged Qingji not to look down on the small stone fragments, so Qingji spent the next day and a half collecting them.
• Qingji spotted a large piece of Chaotic Wind Gold flying toward them, and Feng Jun told her she could take it as a reward for guarding him and entering the Void.

Feng Jun and his companions tracked down Iron Bone Elder in the Void and discussed how to ambush him. Their plan stalled when Feng Jun and the Jade Spore Skyworm argued over who would claim the Sky-Piercing Vine, and Feng Jun challenged the Skyworm’s ability to leave the Void.

• After True Immortal Yi Jue finished recovering, she offered to buy Elder Qingji’s Chaotic Wind Gold, but dropped the matter when she learned it was Same-Origin and needed by Senior Brother Kai Ming’s disciple.
• Feng Jun located Iron Bone Elder less than twenty thousand li away, and the group found him meditating atop a massive rock with the Sky-Piercing Vine nearby.
• The Jade Spore Skyworm proposed using its mycelium to restrain Iron Bone Elder in exchange for the Sky-Piercing Vine, while Yi Jue offered to use her Azure Luo Net instead.
• Feng Jun insisted that he also wanted the Sky-Piercing Vine, and the Jade Spore Skyworm challenged him to explain why he thought he deserved it.
• Feng Jun argued that he deserved the Vine because he could take everyone out of the Void, then questioned whether the Jade Spore Skyworm could do the same; the Skyworm froze when he mentioned its eggs.

Feng Jun warned that the Jade Spore Skyworm could be harmed by the Sky-Piercing Vine’s aura, but Yi Jue led the group to attack Iron Bone anyway. Iron Bone repelled their nets with pink Void defense and revealed that he had gained Bloodline True Meaning by blood-sacrificing a Void behemoth.

• The Jade Spore Skyworm questioned Feng Jun about its origins, and he said it had been created by the Void.
• Feng Jun warned Yi Jue that the Sky-Piercing Vine could destabilize the Jade Spore Skyworm’s mixed bloodline, but the Skyworm insisted its instincts promised advancement.
• Yi Jue, Qingji, Feng Jun, and the Jade Spore Skyworm arrived to confront Iron Bone, who repelled the Skyworm’s net and Yi Jue’s Azure Luo Net with pink radiance.
• Iron Bone retreated into the Void and challenged Yi Jue and Qingji to continue their agreed battle to the death.
• Feng Jun identified Iron Bone’s pink radiance as Void defense and deduced that he had obtained Bloodline True Meaning by blood-sacrificing a Void behemoth.
• Iron Bone said his defense made their attacks useless and asked whether they still intended to fight.

Steel Bone True Immortal relied on the Void True Intent Stone to repel Yi Jue and conserve his spiritual energy, but Feng Jun’s lightning attacks rapidly depleted its power and forced him to flee. Feng Jun replenished his energy and returned to find that Steel Bone and the Sky-Piercing Vine had escaped, while Qingji had waited for him.

• Steel Bone True Immortal used the Void True Intent Stone to repel the Jade Spore Skyworm and Yi Jue’s attacks, planning to outlast his opponents.
• Elder Qingji recognized that the stone’s True Intent could run out, and Yi Jue attacked Steel Bone despite his defenses.
• Feng Jun struck Steel Bone’s barrier with lightning twice, rapidly draining the stone’s True Intent and forcing Steel Bone to flee as Yi Jue pursued him.
• After Feng Jun used up his spiritual energy, Elder Qingji let him return to Big Rock to recover in a Spirit-Restoring Formation.
• Feng Jun returned to Qingji and learned that Steel Bone had escaped and that the Sky-Piercing Vine had fled as well.

Feng Jun returned to help Qingji and Yi Jue pursue Iron Bone, whose Void True Intent was steadily running out. The chapter left Iron Bone fleeing again as Feng Jun and Qingji chased him through the Void.

• Iron Bone fled Feng Jun, then returned and tried to provoke Yi Jue and Qingji into wasting spiritual energy while the three waited for Feng Jun.
• Yi Jue pursued Iron Bone with the Jade Spore Skyworm for more than a day, draining his spiritual energy and Void True Intent before Feng Jun returned.
• Qingji joined the fight with Ice Seal and explained that Iron Bone had sealed his fate by attacking Wanqing despite knowing she was Feng Jun's companion.

• Feng Jun reappeared and nullified Iron Bone's Divine Sense attack, then struck him with a streak of white light as Qingji joined the assault.
• Iron Bone fled once more, and Qingji grabbed Feng Jun and continued the pursuit.

Feng Jun repeatedly replenished his spiritual qi while Yi Jue and Qingji wore down Iron Bone Elder in the Void. When Yi Jue withdrew to recover, Iron Bone forced himself to attack Qingji, revealing his Giant Tree Physique.

• Feng Jun left Yi Jue and the Jade Spore Skyworm to contain Iron Bone while he replenished his energy at Luohua Manor, then returned to the Void and brought Qingji back into the fight.
• Iron Bone, nearly exhausted and unable to escape, detonated a Storage Pouch to retrieve a True Artifact longsword and fought Yi Jue, Qingji, and the Jade Spore Skyworm.
• After two days of combat, Yi Jue returned to Big Rock to recover and warned Feng Jun that Iron Bone might soon risk everything.
• Iron Bone used a burst of spiritual qi to induce drunkenness, retrieved precious medicine from a Storage Pouch, and warned Qingji to stop pursuing him.
• Qingji mocked Iron Bone, who then dropped his pink halo, enlarged his body, and revealed his Giant Tree Physique.

Iron Bone True Immortal fought Qingji and Yi Jue in the Void, then detonated himself and a Void-intent stone when he could no longer win. The others survived, but Feng Jun discovered Iron Bone's Nascent Soul or remnant soul had escaped inside a Void Qi Stone, and the Jade Spore Skyworm set off in pursuit.

• Iron Bone True Immortal used the Giant Tree Body and attacked Elder Qingji, who countered with her Heaven-Shielding Umbrella and Black Origin Gui Water.
• Feng Jun returned with Yi Jue and the Jade Spore Skyworm, and Yi Jue joined the fight after replenishing her spiritual energy with two pills.
• Iron Bone tried to provoke Yi Jue into a one-on-one battle, but his opponents overwhelmed him and left him unable to escape.

• The Big Shot revealed that Iron Bone's Nascent Soul was escaping inside a Void Qi Stone, and Feng Jun identified its direction.
• The Jade Spore Skyworm volunteered to pursue the escaping Void Qi Stone.

Yi Jue, Qingji, Feng Jun, and the Jade Spore Skyworm dealt with Iron Bone and hunted down the Sky-Piercing Vine before arguing over how to divide its remains. The group remained in the Void while spectators on the Celestial Star Plains waited for Yi Jue and the others to return, increasingly convinced Feng Jun could bring them out.

• Yi Jue discovered Iron Bone hiding in a Void Qi Stone, and Qingji agreed that he should be killed rather than taken back to the Golden Crow Sect.
• The group replenished their spiritual energy on Big Rock, then Yi Jue used Qingji’s Blue Flame Fire Disk to refine Iron Bone’s Remnant Soul into nothingness.
• Yi Jue, Qingji, and the Jade Spore Skyworm hunted down and destroyed the Sky-Piercing Vine, which had survived its time in the Void.
• Feng Jun demanded all of the Sky-Piercing Vine’s remains, while the Jade Spore Skyworm offered him eighty percent in exchange for help planning its evolution.
• Yi Jue negotiated with the Jade Spore Skyworm over Vitality Dao Intent, and the two settled on two applications after a heated exchange.
• Spectators on the Celestial Star Plains stayed to await Yi Jue’s return, as rumors spread that Feng Jun could bring people out of the Void.

Yi Jue returned to the Celestial Star Plains with Qingji and Feng Jun and confirmed that she had killed Iron Bone in the void. Her arrival silenced many accusations from the Spirit Wood Dao, but Elder Donglai then questioned how she had killed the Sky-Piercing Vine.

• The Dragon-Scale Tree suddenly died, and Spirit Wood Dao disciples accused the Spirit Plant Path despite having no evidence.
• True Immortal Shouzhong suggested Iron Bone’s death might have caused the Dragon-Scale Tree to perish, but the Spirit Wood Dao rejected the idea and threatened to detain Spirit Plant Path disciples.
• Yi Jue, Qingji, and Feng Jun arrived after first checking the situation at the Spirit Plant Path, and Yi Jue agreed to answer questions from the Spirit Wood Dao and Golden Crow Sect.
• Yi Jue confirmed that she had personally killed Iron Bone in a life-or-death battle, then defended her actions against the Spirit Wood Dao’s accusations.
• Yi Jue said the Sky-Piercing Vine had died in the void, and Elder Donglai demanded to know how she had killed it.

After Yi Jue defeated Steel Bone, Feng Jun and Yi Jue faced pressure from the Xuanhuang Sect and the Spirit Wood Dao over their grudges and the Heaven-Peering Mirror. They left for the Spirit Plant Path, where Feng Jun declined offers of protection and planned to return to Kun Hao after visiting the Yiyao Sector, though Yi Jue urged him to lie low first.

• Yi Jue confirmed Steel Bone's death, and Chenxi True Immortal stopped Feng Jun to discuss his unresolved grievance against Rongyang True Immortal.
• Yi Jue accused Rongyang of helping cause the ambush by Steel Bone and warned Chenxi that Feng Jun would not visit Xuanhuang while carrying the Heaven-Peering Mirror.
• Elder Donglai tried to detain Yi Jue until evidence of Steel Bone's ambush could be found, but the Golden Crow Sect, Mysterious Water Sect, and Grand Void Sect backed her departure.
• Feng Jun took Yi Jue and Qingji to the Spirit Plant Path, where visitors described the rising attention around Yi Jue and the Heaven-Peering Mirror.
• Feng Jun declined offers to stay in the Icefield Plane or Blazing Flame Sector and said he would return to Kun Hao after collecting auction proceeds in the Yiyao Sector; Yi Jue advised him to steady things down first.

Feng Jun returned to Kun Hao with Qingji and Cang Jing, then learned that Xia Nishang had formed her Nascent Soul after receiving his divination. He and Qingji arranged to support her summons to the Upper Realm while she was still stabilizing her realm.

• Qingji remained in the Spirit Plant Path to recover, while she and Cang Jing decided to accompany Feng Jun to Kun Hao.
• Feng Jun contacted the Du Clan in Mingsha Market, confirmed Liba Beach was safe, and traveled there with Qingji and Cang Jing.
• Feng Jun learned that Xia Nishang had formed her Nascent Soul fifteen days earlier and was still in seclusion.
• Jiu Wei reported that Qian Feng's divine sense had briefly observed Xia Nishang, and Qingji decided to ask Qian Shu to summon her away.
• Feng Jun offered to take Qingji to the Blazing Flame Sector so she could help arrange Xia Nishang's summons.

Feng Jun and True Immortal Qingji sought help bringing Xia Nishang up from the Kunhao Domain, sparking a dispute between Elder Qing Huang and True Immortal Qian Shu over who would handle her ascension. Qian Shu realized Xia Nishang was connected to Feng Jun and the prospect of Void treasures, but Qing Huang arrived just as Qian Feng appeared to mediate.

• Feng Jun brought Qingji to the Blazing Flame Sector, where Elder Qing Huang offered to bring Xia Nishang up after learning she was about five hundred years old.
• True Immortal Qian Shu objected to Qing Huang handling ascension and insisted that he would bring Xia Nishang up himself.
• Qian Shu checked Xia Nishang's information and divined that her improved fortune was connected to Liba Beach, which led him to suspect she was close to Feng Jun.
• Qian Shu realized Feng Jun might have access to Void treasures and prepared to bring Xia Nishang up.
• Elder Qing Huang charged in and accused Qian Shu of stealing his opportunity, while True Immortal Qian Feng arrived and urged them to talk.

Qian Feng, Qian Shu, and Elder Qing Huang competed to receive Xia Nishang after realizing she might bring a great opportunity, and she was bewildered when all three claimed responsibility for her. Feng Jun later returned to Luohua Manor after spending half a year in the Blue Star Realm, bringing Wang Haifeng, who had reached the Innate Realm.

• Elder Qing Huang accused Qian Feng of neglecting Xia Nishang's reception, but Qian Feng explained he had planned to receive her impartially and hoped she might become his Dao companion.
• Qian Feng, Qian Shu, and Elder Qing Huang argued over who would receive Xia Nishang, then agreed to let her choose among them.
• Xia Nishang entered the Upper Realm and was confused when three True Immortals each claimed to have received her.
• Feng Jun brought Elder Qingji back to Liba Beach, handled accumulated Divination requests, and returned to Luohua Manor while the Big Shot was away.
• Feng Jun spent half a year in the Blue Star Realm before returning with Wang Haifeng, who had reached the Innate Realm using Feng Jun's resources.

Feng Jun navigated growing tensions in Heavenly Zither while supporting Xia Nishang’s new life in Golden Crow Sect. After learning that the attention around his Void materials had eased, he set out with Liu Yiyi, Cang Jing, and Qingji to retrieve his Spirit Stones.

• Yu Qingzhu acquired two root servers, and Gu Jiahui became interested in building a network for Kun Hao.
• Cang Jing asked Feng Jun to accompany her to collect the approved Primal Water Embryo, and he learned that Golden Crow Sect and Myriad Illusions Sect were embroiled in a fierce dispute over Wanqing’s attack.
• Wu Xiu delivered Yuan Real Person’s Nascent Soul celebration invitation, but Feng Jun declined it and also refused to travel to Golden Crow Sect to assist Jiangxia.
• Xia Nishang returned to Liba Beach after ascending, and Feng Jun advised her to remain in Heavenly Zither while she adjusted to her Nascent Soul; she told him he could retrieve his Spirit Stones after the auction’s uproar subsided.
• After the Big Shot said it was ready, Feng Jun took Liu Yiyi, Cang Jing, and Qingji to Heavenly Zither, leaving Wu Xiu, Hua Sheng, and Jiu Wei to guard Liba Beach.

True Immortal Jing Quan confronted True Immortal Wu Si and two companions for tracking Feng Jun, then learned Feng Jun had gone to a Mysterious Water Sect Branch on the Icefield Plane. Jing Quan took the three Artifact Refining Path cultivators there to meet him.

• True Immortal Wu Si and two Nascent Soul cultivators arrived too late to find Feng Jun and used Divination to track him.
• True Immortal Jing Quan caught the group watching Feng Jun and demanded an explanation; Wu Si said he wanted to obtain more Void materials.
• Jing Quan recalled that Feng Jun had helped Yuan Real Person and other cultivators form Nascent Souls, and decided to seek Feng Jun’s favor to help his disciple.
• Jing Quan questioned Wu Si’s intentions and ordered him and his companions to come along after learning Feng Jun had gone to the Mysterious Water Sect Branch.
• Jing Quan led the three cultivators through several teleportations to the Icefield Plane and hurried them toward another Teleportation Array.

Feng Jun visited the Mysterious Water Sect’s newly excavated Spirit Stone Mine and learned how its miners worked. Jing Quan arrived with three people who had been tracking Feng Jun, and Feng Jun challenged Wu Si’s reasons for pursuing him before asking Elder Qingji to investigate their intentions.

• Cang Jing showed Feng Jun the mine and explained why the Mysterious Water Sect used ordinary cultivators rather than formations or Nascent Soul cultivators to excavate it.
• Feng Jun told Qingji and Xia Nishang that he had discovered the mine and that two Golden Crow True Immortals also held shares in its profits.
• Jing Quan arrived at the mine and explained that he had followed Feng Jun to request a Divination for his disciple, bringing Wu Si and two others who had tracked Feng Jun.
• Wu Si said he had pursued Feng Jun only to buy Void materials, but Feng Jun accused him of assuming he was entitled to materials Feng Jun did not wish to sell.
• Feng Jun asked Qingji to investigate the three visitors’ identities, and Wu Si insisted that his conscience was clear.

Elder Cang Jing revealed that Mysterious Water Sect had found a Spirit Stone Mine on land it had purchased from Grand Void Sect, and Jing Quan agreed to notify the local Grand Void branch. After learning that Feng Jun and others had shares in the mine, the group detained three cultivators who had followed Feng Jun, claiming it was for their protection.

• Elder Qingji assigned Xia Nishang to handle the three Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivators as part of her trial, and Feng Jun offered to support her.
• Elder Cang Jing explained that Mysterious Water Sect had negotiated with Grand Void Sect to purchase the land, and Jing Quan agreed to inform Grand Void's local branch about the mine.
• Elder Cang Jing said Yi Jue had a share in the mine, while Feng Jun revealed he had discovered it through Divination and that two Golden Crow Sect disciples also held shares.
• After the three cultivators identified themselves as members of the Artifact Refining Path and Chess Dao, Elder Cang Jing decided to keep them as guests for ten years to protect them.
• When the Chess Dao cultivator asked to leave, Feng Jun demanded a written statement accepting responsibility for any harm that came to him.

Elder Cang Jing confined Wu Si and the Chess Dao cultivator to the Mysterious Water Sect, while True Immortal Chaosheng arrived to investigate the Spirit Stone Mine. After learning the mine was small and weighing the Mysterious Water Sect’s evidence, Chaosheng sought a share and management fees rather than challenging its ownership outright.

• Elder Cang Jing ordered Wu Si and the Chess Dao cultivator to remain at the Mysterious Water Sect for ten years, and both accepted after declining to summon elders from their Dao.
• Jing Quan contacted the Grand Void Sect, and True Immortal Chaosheng arrived with several cultivators to examine the Spirit Stone Mine.
• The Mysterious Water Sect presented evidence that it had discovered the mine by chance on land it had purchased, and Chaosheng’s subordinates confirmed the mine was roughly as estimated.
• True Immortal Chaosheng argued that Grand Void had plane sovereignty and should receive management fees or a share, while Elder Cang Jing defended the Mysterious Water Sect’s rights to its land.
• Elder Cang Jing realized Chaosheng was less confrontational than she had expected because Feng Jun and Yi Jue’s recent actions had changed the balance of power, and she offered to respect Grand Void’s sovereignty over fundamental resources.
