Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun buried more organs from the Star-Devouring Clan corpse at Liba Beach, then took Jing Quan, Cang Jing, and Yi Jue to the Icefield Plane. There, he inspected Jiutong’s stone-gambling business and questioned her lottery-based entry system, while an unknown intruder fled from three True Immortals at Liba Beach.

• Elder Zheng Ben left Liba Beach after realizing Feng Jun would not let him stay nearby, and Elder Cang Jing apologized for the Mysterious Water Sect’s attempt to obtain the corpse.
• Feng Jun buried the spleen and kidneys, but declined to invite others to share in their limited Domain Favor and said he would not use the liver in Kun Hao or share the remaining organs.
• Jing Quan asked Feng Jun to take him back to Heavenly Zither to test Binding Qi into Force, while Cang Jing and Yi Jue joined the trip to inspect Jiutong’s stone-gambling venue.
• True Immortal Chao Cheng, Jiu Wei, and True Immortal Hua Sheng tried to ambush an intruder targeting the hills at Liba Beach, but the stranger escaped with Electric Escape.
• Feng Jun and the others arrived at Jiutong’s venue on the Icefield Plane, where Jiutong explained that customers paid one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for a lottery chance to choose a Void Stone.
• Feng Jun criticized Jiutong’s lottery system and the poor-looking stones, then suggested gathering information and asked whether she had any better Void Stones.

Feng Jun visited True Person Jiutong’s stone-gambling business on the Icefield Plane and prepared to leave for secluded cultivation before his next breakthrough. Before he could depart, members of the Gongye Family arrived, claiming that the damaged Dao Crown he had found in the void belonged to them, and Feng Jun challenged their approach.

• True Person Jiutong explained the limits she placed on lottery purchases and invited Feng Jun and Yi Jue to her upcoming opening ceremony.
• Feng Jun visited the Spirit Stone mine, promised benefits to Xia Nishang, and declined Jiutong’s invitation because he planned to return to Liba Beach for secluded cultivation.
• True Person Cang Jing brought Gongye Qianxin and Gongye Youbao to Feng Jun, explaining that the Gongye Family believed the Dao Crown he had found might have belonged to an ancestor.
• Feng Jun said he would charge only for his trouble if the family proved ownership, while Gongye Youbao and Gongye Qianxin insisted the family would not claim the item falsely.
• Feng Jun questioned whether Gongye Qianxin’s offer was truly made in good faith, leaving the elder irritated.

Feng Jun traded the Gongye Family’s Dao Crown for two Substitute-Death Talismans and some Void materials. He returned to Liba Beach and began secluded cultivation to break through to the Third-Layer Golden Core.

• Gongye Qianxin and Gongye Youbao recognized the Dao Crown as a Gongye Family treasure and offered five hundred Upper Spirit Stones for it.
• Feng Jun declined a Dual-Origin Mind-Inscribing Origin-Tracing Spirit Embryo and asked about lifespan-extending treasures instead.
• Gongye Qianxin offered two Substitute-Death Talismans, and Feng Jun accepted them along with additional Void materials in exchange for the Dao Crown.
• Feng Jun returned to Liba Beach and began secluded cultivation, suspecting that the Primordial Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Art’s heavy spiritual energy demands had hindered his breakthrough.

Feng Jun returned to Blue Star to bury half of a Star-Devouring Clan lung in Chaoyang and improve the realm’s spiritual conditions. As he set up a formation to prevent the land from rising into a mountain, the clouds cleared and a thought about a Star-Devouring Demon appeared in his mind before the world spun around him.

• Feng Jun broke through to the Third-Layer Golden Core, then returned to Luo Hua and told Yi Jue he planned to travel and bring people along.
• Feng Jun told Luo Hua’s people he intended to improve Blue Star’s spiritual conditions, and Zhong Lijing volunteered to go while Xu Leigang asked for cultivation resources.
• Feng Jun chose Chaoyang as the burial site, explaining that the opportunity was intended for his parents and that Blue Star was too fragile for a whole lung.
• Feng Jun spent five days and nights digging a pit, burying half a lung, restoring the surface, and beginning to set up a formation.
• Feng Jun noticed the clouds had cleared, thought of a Star-Devouring Demon, and felt the world spin around him.

Feng Jun met the awakened Guardian of Blue Star, explained how he obtained the Star-Devouring Demon’s lung and used it to raise the world’s spiritual potential, and learned that the Guardian would help protect the effort. The Guardian accepted Feng Jun’s plan to manage the protection himself for now, then asked about the other organs he had obtained.

• Feng Jun found the Guardian in an illusion of a familiar mountain courtyard and learned that it guarded Blue Star against threats such as asteroid impacts and nuclear weapons.
• The Guardian explained that Feng Jun’s return from the void had awakened it, and that the Star-Devouring Demon’s appearance had prompted it to intervene.
• Feng Jun told the Guardian that he had obtained internal organs from a corpse in another plane and described the World-Breaking Ring and the cultivation world beyond it.
• Feng Jun argued that bringing cultivators from Kun Hao to Blue Star would endanger his people, and the Guardian accepted his concern about destructive exploitation.
• Feng Jun explained that his array would use the Star-Devouring Demon’s lung to increase Blue Star’s spiritual potential more efficiently, and the Guardian offered to protect it.
• The Guardian agreed to let Feng Jun manage the protection for now, then asked whether he had obtained other organs from the corpse.

Feng Jun questioned the Guardian about its origins and the fate of the Star-Devouring Demon's organs before agreeing to let it choose burial sites, provided they remained in his homeland. The Guardian proposed locations for the spleen, kidney, and liver, but Feng Jun questioned whether burying the liver in a desert would be worthwhile.

• Feng Jun asked the Guardian who had entrusted it with guarding Blue Star, but it refused to reveal its origins and said it had been tricked into guarding the planet until the end of the Epoch.
• Feng Jun insisted that the organs remain within his homeland, and the Guardian asked him to bring a map so it could choose locations.
• Feng Jun returned with an atlas, and the Guardian recognized the territory of Xia Nation while explaining that Bell's Mountain had once been part of the Wildlands.
• The Guardian suggested burying the spleen at Luo Hua, then chose Pingcheng in Jin Province for the kidney because of its pollution and terrain.
• The Guardian selected a desert for the liver, and Feng Jun questioned whether burying it there would be meaningful.

Feng Jun negotiated with the Guardians over restoring Blue Star’s spiritual essence by burying Star-Devouring Demon organs, while trying to avoid attracting attention. The Guardians agreed to protect Feng Jun’s people for a hundred years, and Feng Jun began handing over Spirit Stones and organs under specific conditions.

• The Guardians explained that the Star-Devouring Demon’s liver could store spiritual essence and had to be buried in barren land, so Feng Jun ruled out burying it at Luo Hua.
• The Guardians offered to bury Feng Jun’s kidney near his cultivation site and explained that the process could cause Domain Favor, unusual phenomena, and Merit to appear on Blue Star.
• Feng Jun offered four hundred Upper Spirit Stones in exchange for the Guardians protecting Luo Hua, Pingcheng, Lakemarta, and Alansmu for up to a hundred years.
• The Guardians assured Feng Jun that Blue Star could accommodate a Nascent Soul cultivator with Domain Favor and sufficient spiritual essence.
• Feng Jun handed over the spleen and four hundred Upper Spirit Stones, but said he would provide the kidney and liver only after he had bought land and arranged everything properly.

Feng Jun gathered cultivators and Daoists in Chaoyang to experience a Domain Favor, while arranging land purchases and bringing Sophia back from Sydney. As the Domain Favor began, Lin Heihu unexpectedly advanced first.

• Feng Jun asked Yang Yuxin to arrange guarded land purchases in Pingcheng and the Lakemarta Desert, then found Sophia cultivating in Sydney and summoned her to return to the Daoist Temple.
• Feng Jun invited cultivators and Daoists to Chaoyang, where more than two hundred people gathered at his family’s estate as rain fell.
• Feng Jun brought selected companions, including Ma Sanniang and Lin Heihu, to the hill where the lungs had been buried, while Zhang Caixin told the others to meditate and sense the changes.
• At seven in the morning, Feng Jun formed hand seals and began the Domain Favor, prompting Ma Sanniang to recognize the shifting vital energy.
• As everyone regulated their breathing and absorbed the energy, Lin Heihu broke through before Huahua.

Feng Jun’s gathering brought Domain Favor that triggered breakthroughs among cultivators in Chaoyang’s mountains, culminating in Xu Leigang entering the Innate Realm. His new Innate aura was suppressed by Feng Jun’s barrier, and Xu Leigang complained that it kept him from flying higher.

• Lin Heihu broke through, and Sophia soon entered the Qi Refining Stage after experiencing Domain Favor.
• Huahua and numerous Daoists and martial artists advanced their cultivation, including Feng Wenhui, Zhang Junyi, Old Celestial Master Tang, and Zhang Dongyuan.
• Ma Sanniang advanced from the Emergence from Dust, Third Layer to the sixth layer, explaining that she had first recovered cultivation lost while refining a secret realm.
• Xu Leigang entered the Innate Realm, and Feng Jun concealed his transformation with a Spirit-Energy Barrier.
• The young Celestial Master remarked that Xu Leigang’s Innate aura rose only a little over three zhang, and Xu Leigang blamed Feng Jun for holding him down.

After the spleen’s activation brought no immediate breakthroughs, Feng Jun saw Luohua residents benefit from the Domain Favor and arranged land leases in Pingcheng and the Lakemarta Desert. The Guardians Big Shot warned him that sharing the favor could dilute his own fortune, but Feng Jun defended his decision and said Luohua’s main battles lay on Otherworld Planes.

• Feng Jun rebuked Xu Leigang for nearly losing his new Innate cultivation, then returned with his people to Luohua after the Domain Favor ended.
• Feng Jun tested the buried spleen’s formation, but no one broke through during the initial wave; days later, Elder Yu noticed clearer thoughts and Shen Qingyi advanced to Fifth Layer Qi Condensation.
• Yang Yuxin secured leases for the Zhuang Family’s mountain area in Pingcheng and a large tract in the Lakemarta Desert, where military training grounds would help safeguard the greening project.
• Feng Jun approved the leases and contacted the Guardians Big Shot, who questioned his willingness to share Domain Favor and warned that it could reduce his fortune.
• Feng Jun told the Guardians Big Shot that Luohua residents already had decent fortune and that sharing some of it was worthwhile because their main battlefield was on Otherworld Planes.

Feng Jun’s formations brought rain and new growth to the Lakemarta Desert, attracting researchers and military personnel. When outsiders intruded on his leased land, he forced one expedition team to leave and later confronted two more groups, including suspected foreign agents.

• Feng Jun set up formations in the Lakemarta Desert and near Pingcheng, increasing the desert’s spiritual essence until rain and greenery appeared.
• Researchers and military personnel gathered around the desert, while several research teams entered Feng Jun’s leased land.
• Feng Jun ordered an expedition team to leave after its members disturbed plants, and Yang Yuxin sent officials who enforced his authority as leaseholder.
• Two further groups crossed Feng Jun: one had stolen plant samples, and he identified a man and woman as Mai Nation agents collecting soil samples in secret.

Feng Jun returned to Kunhao with his companions, where Lan Yun and Shou Xin opened competing Void Stone gambling shops. After Shou Xin’s shop struck a rare treasure and drew a crowd, Yi Jue asked Feng Jun to use his ability to identify valuable stones, and he admitted that he could.

• Feng Jun left the Blue Star Realm after the area around his territory was made a military restricted zone, then returned to Kunhao with Wang Haifeng, Liu Yuting, and Zhong Lijing.
• Liu Yiyi arranged for Lan Yun and Shou Xin to open separate Void Stone gambling shops, with advice from Wang Haifeng, Liu Yuting, and Red Sister.
• Fu Yuan bought a Void Stone at Shou Xin’s shop and uncovered a fist-sized piece of Void Liquid Silver, which Hua Sheng bought for fifty Upper Spirit Stones.
• Shou Xin regretted selling the Void Liquid Silver, but Yi Jue reassured her and took her to ask Feng Jun about identifying treasures inside Void Stones.
• Feng Jun admitted he could identify the stones, while warning that doing so would be unfair to ordinary cultivators and could harm the shops’ business.

Feng Jun helped Shou Xin plan a stone-gambling business that used divination and arranged buyers to keep its most valuable Void Stones off the market. As Shou Xin’s shop outperformed Lan Yun’s, Lan Yun suspected her methods and pressed her to share what she knew.

• Feng Jun suggested Shou Xin use shills to buy the best Void Stones herself, and Yi Jue told her to consult the business assistants from Liba Beach.
• Feng Jun selected four exceptionally valuable Void Stones for Shou Xin, who kept them rather than selling them immediately.
• Shou Xin lowered her prices after advice from Wang Haifeng, Liu Yuting, and Liu Yiyi, and her shop produced another hit that boosted sales above Lan Yun’s.
• Lan Yun’s shop later produced several major hits, including returns of fiftyfold, over thirtyfold, over fortyfold, and eightyfold, leaving her worried that selling stones was less profitable than cutting them herself.
• Elder Qingji encouraged Lan Yun to ask Shou Xin about her approach, and Lan Yun concluded that Shou Xin was keeping her best stones aside with help from Feng Jun or Yi Jue.

Lan Yun and Shou Xin used Liba Beach’s business advice to sell Void Stones, while Feng Jun discovered Lan Yun’s cultivation problem and gave her Taiyin Cold Iron. As Feng Jun’s reputation drew Upper Realm cultivators to Liba Beach, staged-looking jackpot sales began, and Lan Yun made another remarkable move.

• Shou Xin and Lan Yun consulted Liu Yiyi, and Feng Jun divined Lan Yun’s stones before accepting her Nether Lotus Fossil and giving her Taiyin Cold Iron to correct a cultivation imbalance.
• Qingji confirmed Lan Yun’s internal fire had gone slightly off course, and Lan Yun thanked Feng Jun for helping her avoid future danger.
• Lan Yun’s and Shou Xin’s shops sold Void Stones at steady prices as news spread of Feng Jun’s Nascent Soul divinations, bringing more Golden Core Peak cultivators and True Immortals to Liba Beach.
• Lan Yun bought back a valuable jackpot stone at an inflated price, and the next day a Spirit Planter refused to sell Shou Xin’s jackpot despite a high offer.
• On the third day, Lan Yun made another miraculous maneuver.

Lan Yun and Shou Xin’s stone shops prospered, but Yi Jue pushed Shou Xin to prioritize cultivation so she would remain eligible to enter the Void. When Jing Quan reported that one of Mo Lü’s Kun Cultivation companions was injured, several True Immortals prepared to accompany Feng Jun into the Void.

• Lan Yun secretly sold a promising stone to Elder Qingji for two hundred and thirty Upper Spirit Stones, while the public auction made it appear that the buyer had won it through bidding.
• Liu Yiyi shared her profits with Red Sister, Wang Haifeng, Liu Yuting, and Zhong Lijing, and Feng Jun approved of her keeping Lan Yun and Shou Xin from approaching them with gifts.
• Yi Jue warned Shou Xin that she had to advance within two years to keep her place as Yi Jue’s disciple and retain the chance to enter the Void.
• Lan Yun and Shou Xin agreed to alternate morning and afternoon business hours so they could make time to cultivate.
• Jing Quan told Feng Jun that one of the Kun Cultivation practitioners accompanying Mo Lü had been injured, prompting Yi Jue and Qingji to join a planned trip to the Void.
• Jiu Wei, Hua Sheng, and an Ouyang Family True Immortal sought to join the trip, and Feng Jun asked the Ouyang True Immortal how much Jing Quan had paid for passage.

Feng Jun and the others entered the Void to rescue Mo Lü and two Kun cultivators, only to discover that the pair had been treasure hunting and one had been seriously injured. Jing Quan settled the dispute by letting them keep useful materials and offering the rest as payment, while Feng Jun and Yi Jue declined to press the matter.

• Feng Jun refused True Immortal Ouyang's offer of a thousand Upper Spirit Stones and left with Yi Jue, Qingji, and Jing Quan to rescue the people in the Void.
• The group found Mo Lü and two Kun cultivators sheltering in the Thick Earth Cauldron, with one Kun cultivator gravely injured after trying to capture a strange bead.
• Mo Lü admitted he had allowed the Kun cultivators to hunt for treasure while they spent more than two years in the Void, and Jing Quan reproached him for delaying the rescue.
• Jing Quan examined their trove, worth about a thousand Upper Spirit Stones, and proposed that the three keep useful Void materials and give the rest to Feng Jun as payment.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue declined the materials and let the matter go, asking only that no one be hurt beyond saving.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue helped arrange the injured cultivators’ return from the Void, then visited Jiutong’s stone-gambling business and Spirit Stone Mine on the Icefield Plane. The chapter ends with True Immortal Duan Liang confirming that their improved Binding Qi into Force technique outperformed the Yuangang Sect’s version and beginning a discussion of rewards and controlling its spread.

• True Immortal Jing Quan offered compensation for the trouble caused by the two Emergence from Dust cultivators, but Feng Jun and Elder Qingji refused the Spirit Stones.
• Feng Jun returned after nearly three days, then took Mo Lü and the other two cultivators to Yiyao before traveling with Yi Jue and Qingji to the Icefield Plane.
• Feng Jun inspected Jiutong’s growing stone-gambling business and the profitable Spirit Stone Mine, while Jiutong explained why she preferred to expand the market gradually.
• The Grand Void Sect asked Feng Jun and Yi Jue to discuss improvements to their techniques, and Yi Jue arranged for the meeting to take place on the Icefield Plane.
• True Immortal Duan Liang met Feng Jun and Yi Jue privately in his Teaching Transmission Residence and confirmed that their Binding Qi into Force technique had surpassed the Yuangang Sect’s version.
• True Immortal Duan Liang began discussing the rewards for the technique and how its spread should be controlled.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue negotiated with Elder Duan Liang over rewards for improving Binding Qi into Force, while disputing the Grand Void Sect’s claim to the technique and its possible Void-Born Lightning effect. Elder Duan Liang left the reward unresolved pending tests and asked Feng Jun to take Grand Void disciples into the Void to verify the technique.

• Yi Jue rejected the Grand Void Sect’s offer to let them teach Binding Qi into Force only within their own line and asked for its other reward proposals.
• Elder Duan Liang offered either an outright purchase for one thousand Upper Spirit Stones or shared ownership for five hundred, with cultivators paying ten Upper Spirit Stones to learn the technique.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue argued that their improved technique’s ability to produce Void-Born Lightning made it more valuable, and Jing Quan confirmed he had tested the effect in the Void.
• Elder Duan Liang questioned whether the old version could also produce Void-Born Lightning and delayed the reward until the matter was verified.
• Yi Jue accused Elder Duan Liang of indirectly pressuring Feng Jun to take Grand Void disciples into the Void, and Elder Duan Liang admitted that the sect wanted him to help with testing.

Feng Jun negotiated the terms for Grand Void Sect disciples to enter the Void, insisting on fees, half of their harvest, and inspections of their Storage Pouches. Elder Duan Liang resisted his demands, and Yi Jue began to intervene as the discussion continued.

• Feng Jun asked how many Grand Void Sect disciples would enter the Void, and Elder Duan Liang proposed four cultivators, including himself.
• Elder Duan Liang learned from Jing Quan that cultivators could recover from injuries in the Void and that Mo Lü had gone there for treatment.
• Feng Jun offered injured disciples entry for five hundred Upper Spirit Stones each, then demanded half the materials gathered by those entering to seek Void resources.
• Elder Duan Liang and True Immortal Wu Xiu objected to Feng Jun's fees and his plan to inspect the disciples' Storage Pouches, but Feng Jun stood by his terms.
• Feng Jun warned Elder Duan Liang that people who underestimated him in the Kunhao Realm had died, and Yi Jue asked to speak.

Feng Jun negotiated with Grand Void Sect’s Elder Duan Liang over Void entry terms, Nascent Soul divinations, and Xuanhuang Sect’s invitation to divine a Small World in exchange for Yellow Profound Qi. After Yi Jue urged him to accept, Feng Jun consulted the Blue Star Guardians about the reward and learned that a Tribulation Transcendence Stage pursuer might be able to reach Blue Star.

• Yi Jue argued that major sects would pay Feng Jun’s proposed Void entry fee and submit to inspections, while Feng Jun refused to take Elder Duan Liang into the Void unless he accepted those terms.
• Elder Duan Liang explained that Grand Void Sect wanted access to Feng Jun’s Nascent Soul Formation divinations, and Feng Jun said his readings were uncertain, costly, and entirely optional.
• Elder Duan Liang relayed Xuanhuang Sect’s offer of Yellow Profound Qi, a protected location, and security in exchange for Feng Jun divining changes in a Small World.
• Yi Jue urged Feng Jun to accept Xuanhuang Sect’s invitation and offered to arrange protection with Qingji, Cang Jing, and Withered Wood.
• Feng Jun returned to Blue Star and asked the Guardians about Yellow Profound Qi, then learned that only a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator might possibly break into the Blue Star Realm.
