Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun learned that the Guardians could repel outside cultivators up to the Spirit Projection Stage, then negotiated over Yellow Profound Qi with the Yin Soul Big Shot. After deciding to accept Xuanhuang Sect’s offer, he prepared to meet Elder Withered Wood, while Yi Jue explained that Elder Duan Liang could approve the payment himself.

• The Guardians told Feng Jun that Blue Star Realm could briefly accommodate him at the Quasi-Body Integration Stage, but they could not attack outside cultivators stronger than the Spirit Projection Stage.
• The Guardians asked Feng Jun to bring back spiritual vitality and Spirit Stones, explaining that they were not the Domain Consciousness and could not absorb Blue Star’s spiritual qi without breaking their promise.
• Feng Jun asked the Yin Soul Big Shot about Yellow Profound Qi, and the Big Shot said it was valuable to them or could be replaced by at least eight hundred Upper Spirit Stones.
• Feng Jun told Yi Jue that his advisers considered Yellow Profound Qi valuable and urged him to accept Xuanhuang Sect’s offer, so he planned to bring Liu Yiyi and meet Elder Withered Wood.
• Yi Jue explained that Elder Duan Liang could pay a few thousand Upper Spirit Stones himself, and that his claim about consulting Grand Void’s Council of Elders had been a way to save face.

Yi Jue urged Feng Jun to think ahead about Yellow Profound Qi and promised to give him a strand if he divined for her at Soul Emergence, while insisting she would save her own strand rather than use it. Feng Jun accepted the Xuanhuang Sect’s terms for the void expedition, but Elder Duan Liang proposed going to the sect first while they arranged the participants.

• Yi Jue told Feng Jun she had held a strand of Yellow Profound Qi for over a century and offered it to him in exchange for a future divination when she reached Soul Emergence.
• Feng Jun estimated he could reach Soul Emergence within three hundred years, and Yi Jue argued that she could likewise afford to save her strand of Yellow Profound Qi.
• Yi Jue dismissed Feng Jun’s warning to prioritize her foundation and left after declaring that she had come to inform him of her decision, not discuss it.
• Feng Jun told Elder Duan Liang he would accept the Xuanhuang Sect’s terms, including equal shares of the void harvest, payments of five hundred Upper Spirit Stones from each of four Grand Void Sect members, and Storage Pouch inspections.
• Elder Duan Liang explained that selecting suitable participants would take time and suggested that they go to the Xuanhuang Sect first.

Feng Jun’s group visited Xuanhuang Sect’s Yellow Heaven Sector and returned to the site of a Small World passage, where they learned that Xuanhuang Sect and Yuangang Sect had tried to capture the Small World. Yi Jue sensed a growing danger, and Dawn True Immortal revealed that the damaged Small World might connect to another Great World.

• Dawn True Immortal led Feng Jun and his companions to Xuanhuang Sect’s Yellow Heaven Sector, where Feng Jun used his phone to divine whether the reception grounds would affect his fortune.
• The group traveled to the site of Feng Jun’s earlier Divination and saw violent energies raging around the passage.
• Qingji, Cang Jing, Yi Jue, and a Yuangang True Immortal argued over the Two Sects’ attempt to capture the Small World and their failure to inform the other sects.
• Dawn True Immortal admitted that the Two Sects had mostly captured the Small World, destroying part of it in the process.
• Yi Jue’s Divination suggested the Small World’s aura had grown more immense, and she felt alarmed about continuing.
• Dawn True Immortal told Feng Jun that the partially captured Small World might be connected to another Great World.

Feng Jun agreed to divine whether a Greater World lay beyond the Small World and received the promised Yellow Profound Qi from the Xuanhuang Sect. After spending two days observing the celestial phenomena, he prepared to begin his Divination, while the Big Shot noticed flaws in the talismans sealing the treasure.

• Dawn True Immortal asked Feng Jun to divine whether a Greater World lay beyond the Small World and what kind of opponents it might contain.
• Feng Jun confirmed that the Xuanhuang Sect would pay the agreed price regardless of the result, then agreed to wait two days for the Yellow Profound Qi.
• Feng Jun observed the strange phenomena in the sky for two days, while Yi Jue and True Immortal Cang Jing followed him.
• Spatial fluctuations appeared in Feng Jun's quarters twice on the second night, prompting Xuanhuang Sect disciples to debate whether to investigate.
• Dawn True Immortal gave Feng Jun a sealed box containing Yellow Profound Qi, and Feng Jun verified it with his phone before accepting it.
• The Big Shot told Feng Jun that several talismans on the box had been drawn too crudely.

Feng Jun completed a dangerous Divination and identified the world beyond the anomaly as an Insect Race Great World where the Insects followed the Incense Apotheosis Path. Dawn True Immortal was eager to lead an expedition, but Yi Jue challenged the two sects’ presumed plan to act alone, and Feng Jun questioned whether they were considering the danger.

• Feng Jun spent ten days circling the anomaly and performing Divination, nearly getting caught in a tremor before stopping to rest.
• At Feng Jun’s request, Dawn True Immortal provided more than a hundred samples and over two thousand records from other Great Worlds; Feng Jun studied them and performed another eight days of Divination.
• Feng Jun told Dawn True Immortal that the world beyond the anomaly belonged to the Insect Race and that its people followed the Incense Apotheosis Path.
• Feng Jun estimated that an Insect Race invasion might reach their plane in four or five years, though it could happen sooner.
• Dawn True Immortal proposed charging into the Insect Race world, and Yi Jue objected that Xuanhuang Sect and Yuangang Sect were excluding the rest of Heavenly Zither.
• Feng Jun asked whether Dawn True Immortal and Yi Jue were considering the danger of such an expedition.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue agreed to help Xuanhuang Sect and Yuangang Sect with Divination while the sects prepared to explore a dangerous world. As more than twenty Golden Core Peak cultivators gathered to seek Nascent Soul Formation guidance, Feng Jun set three service tiers, and Wu Fan chose the middle tier.

• Yi Jue warned that she sensed danger in the world beyond, but Feng Jun agreed to help with Divination while insisting the breakthrough plan was outside his responsibility.
• Dawn True Immortal asked Feng Jun to divine Nascent Soul Formation prospects for cultivators arriving from the Seven Sects and Eighteen Paths.
• More than twenty mostly elderly, wealthy Golden Core Peak cultivators gathered in the Yellow Heaven Sector, and Feng Jun established three Divination tiers with different fees and services.
• Most applicants chose the first or second tier, while some paid the highest fee for a chance that Feng Jun might offer on-site guidance.
• Wu Fan, a 630-year-old Yuangang Sect Golden Core Peak cultivator, chose the middle tier for its personalized recommendations.

Feng Jun’s Nascent Soul Formation divinations drew more applicants as word spread that they helped cultivators make progress, forcing him to manage a growing queue and limit registrations. After completing the final divination five months later, he heard from Elder Duan Liang that the expedition to the Void was ready to begin.

• Wu Fan watched his place in the queue fall as cultivators paid more Spirit Stones to move ahead of him.
• Yanhe True Adept began to sense Nascent Soul Formation after eight days in seclusion, so Feng Jun traveled to the Yellow Water Sector and divined that his breakthrough would go smoothly.
• Xuanhuang Sect cultivators and other arrivals repeatedly paid extra Spirit Stones to cut in line, and Wu Fan added three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to reclaim his place and receive his divination.
• Feng Jun stopped accepting registrations after applicants reached ninety, then raised the limit to one hundred and eight after the Xuanhuang and Yuangang Sects asked him to expand it.
• Feng Jun continued divinations while making trips to the Yellow Water Sector and Liba Beach, finishing the last Golden Core Peak cultivator’s divination after five months.
• Elder Duan Liang told Feng Jun that the people for the Void expedition had been found and Mo Lü had recovered enough for them to set out.

After five months of divinations, Feng Jun agreed to make an exception for a Myriad Illusions Sect cultivator and weighed how to manage powerful sect rivalries. He then agreed to take the Xuanhuang Sect’s group into the Void for two or three months, and brought Yi Jue and the others to the Yiyao Sector, where the Grand Void people were waiting.

• Yi Jue and Elder Qingji persuaded Feng Jun to let a Myriad Illusions Sect Golden Core Peak cultivator register for divination as an exception.
• Yi Jue explained that opinion within the Myriad Illusions Sect was divided over Ouyang Beishan’s ambush, with her ally supporting severe punishment.
• Elder Qingji introduced Feng Jun to a Spirit Wood Dao cultivator whom Yi Jue trusted, and Feng Jun agreed to divine for him.
• The Xuanhuang Sect asked Feng Jun to wait until its plan to break through the world barrier was ready, and Feng Jun agreed to stay.
• Feng Jun rejected Elder Duan Liang’s request for a thirty-year Void trip and set the stay at two or three months, warning that the planned barrier breakthrough could affect the Void.
• Feng Jun took Yi Jue and the others to the Yiyao Sector, where the Grand Void group was waiting.

Feng Jun brought Grand Void Sect cultivators into the Shattered Stone Belt, where they tested Binding Qi into Force and encountered Rift-Eating Bees. After Feng Jun returned several elders to Geng-Character Plain, Elder Coral arrived looking for Shouzhong and clashed with Yi Jue.

• Feng Jun inspected the Grand Void Sect cultivators’ supplies and agreed to let them spend up to thirty years in the Void.
• Feng Jun took the first group into the Shattered Stone Belt, where Elder Duan Liang and the others saw Yi Jue’s group already searching for materials.
• Rift-Eating Bees attacked, but Feng Jun killed them with a beam of white light, and the Grand Void cultivators found that Binding Qi into Force could destroy Void Stones.
• Feng Jun brought Elder Duan Liang, Yi Jue, Cang Jing, and Qingji back to Geng-Character Plain, then left to replenish his Energy Points.
• Elder Coral arrived while the four elders waited and accused Shouzhong of breaking a promise, prompting Yi Jue to order her to leave.

Feng Jun dealt with Elder Coral’s attempt to claim the Star-Devouring Clan remains, then returned to the Blue Star Realm as Luo Hua prepared for the third Dragon Gate Assembly. He learned of Yin Mingyue’s breakthrough and heard Lin Beauty request single-use Storage Talismans.

• Elder Coral argued that True Immortal Shouzhong had promised her materials and pressed Yi Jue and Duan Liang to help her obtain the Star-Devouring Clan remains.
• When Elder Coral recognized Feng Jun, Yi Jue, Qingji, and Cang Jing threatened her, and she fled after warning them not to let her find an opportunity.
• Feng Jun returned with Yi Jue, Qingji, Cang Jing, and Duan Liang to the Yellow Heaven Sector, where Dawn True Immortal delivered the Xuanhuang Sect’s design proposal.
• After divining the proposal and identifying flaws, Feng Jun returned to Kun Hao and then entered Blue Star as Luo Hua prepared for the third Dragon Gate Assembly.
• Feng Jun discovered that Yin Mingyue had reached the First Layer of Mortal Transcendence through the Incense Apotheosis Path and considered letting her cultivation progress gradually.
• Lin Beauty noticed that the Lakemarta Desert had become greener and asked Feng Jun whether he could provide single-use Storage Talismans.

Feng Jun gave Lin Beauty a Thunderstone, oversaw Cultural Town and Zhang Caixin’s breakthrough, then returned to the Yellow Heaven Sector and helped revise a plan to break the world barrier. The chapter left the plan’s outline in place, with final confirmation still pending after another month of refinement.

• Lin Beauty explained the military value of Storage Talismans, and Feng Jun gave her a Thunderstone that could store a large amount of electricity.
• Feng Jun monitored Cultural Town after its opening, dismissed six of Lin Beauty’s eight infiltrators, and deliberately left two in place.
• Feng Jun stayed to protect Zhang Caixin as she advanced to the Ninth Layer Qi Refining, then left after she consolidated her cultivation.
• At Liba Beach, Feng Jun helped a cultivator achieve Core Embrace and remained four extra days to observe the results.
• After Feng Jun returned to the Yellow Heaven Sector, Chenxi and a Xuanhuang Sect cultivator both asked him for help, but he joined the world-barrier planning discussions first.
• Feng Jun spent eight days using Divination to guide revisions to the barrier-breaking plan, whose rough outline was completed for further refinement.

Feng Jun helped finalize the world-breaking plan and sought the Guardians’ judgment on its risks. The Guardians warned that uncontrollable consequences were likely and gave him an aura to help him escape back to Blue Star if the attempt went wrong.

• Feng Jun visited Shijie Island, left Mu Fengtang in charge, and helped Mi Yunshan arrange for her family to settle there.
• Yan Yuxi rejected two Golden Core ancestors’ request for land on Shijie Island and warned them against meddling with its affairs.
• After returning to Liba Beach, Feng Jun completed a third divination of the world-breaking method and scheduled a final inspection with Xuanhuang Sect for a month later.
• Feng Jun presented the plan to the Guardians, who said the breakthrough could cause uncontrollable phenomena and chain reactions.
• The Guardians gave Feng Jun a wisp of aura that could help him escape back to Blue Star if the attempt went badly.

Feng Jun returned Mo Lü and the other cultivators from the Void after they spent two and a half years gathering materials, then explained how he had divided their haul fairly. The group discussed buying back Void stones and learned that Feng Jun had taken them to an exceptionally valuable treasure-hunting site, while the female Nascent Soul revealed that she had still earned about two thousand Upper Spirit Stones.

• Feng Jun brought Mo Lü and the other cultivators out of the Void after their delayed expedition, and they explained that they had spent the extra time sorting their materials.
• Elder Duan Liang questioned Feng Jun about dividing the haul, and Feng Jun described a method where one side divided the goods and the other chose first.
• Elder Cang Jing asked the Grand Void Sect cultivators to sell stones cheaply, but they disputed her claim that the Void resources had belonged to her group.
• Mo Lü confirmed that Feng Jun had taken the cultivators to his main treasure-hunting location, prompting the female Nascent Soul to regret her complaints.
• Elder Duan Liang took his people toward the Teleportation Array, and the female Nascent Soul said she had earned about two thousand Upper Spirit Stones after expenses.

Feng Jun inspected the Two Sects’ preparations for breaching the world barrier and insisted that even minor flaws be corrected. A True Venerable confronted him about his background and unusual aura, then abruptly fled after Feng Jun revealed an item.

• Feng Jun arrived with Yi Jue, Qingji, and Cang Jing to inspect the Two Sects’ preparations, and Elder Duan Liang asked when he would next enter the Void.
• Feng Jun found several problems during repeated inspections, and the Two Sects corrected them and punished careless disciples.
• A Xuanhuang Sect True Immortal argued that slight drifting was normal, but Feng Jun warned that a failure could endanger the entire region.
• A slightly plump True Venerable appeared and questioned Feng Jun about where he had learned about barrier breaches, then used Mindreading to challenge his private thoughts.
• The True Venerable sensed an unusual aura and asked Feng Jun to show it, so Feng Jun produced an item and offered it to him.
• The True Venerable saw the item, abruptly declared that he had matters to attend to, and vanished.

Feng Jun used a protective token from a powerful elder to drive off a Spirit-Release Venerable, then publicly sought information about him. When Dawn True Immortal hesitated to help, Feng Jun raised the bounty to include a year-long Void travel slot, prompting Elder Cang Jing to offer the Mysterious Water Sect’s assistance.

• The slightly plump man's True Nascent Soul fled after sensing the protective aura from Feng Jun's bead, and Yi Jue asked Feng Jun whether an elder of his sect had given it to him.
• Feng Jun asked Dawn True Immortal to identify the Spirit-Release Venerable, but Dawn said he could not recognize the Venerable from his altered True Nascent Soul.
• Feng Jun explained that the Venerable had demanded an item belonging to his elder and offered a free Nascent Soul Formation Divination slot for information about him.
• Dawn True Immortal urged Feng Jun to wait until after the barrier was broken, but Feng Jun insisted that announcing a bounty would cost him nothing.
• When Dawn suggested that one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones would not tempt anyone to risk offending a Spirit-Release Venerable, Feng Jun offered a year-long Void travel slot with transportation included.
• Elder Cang Jing declared that the Mysterious Water Sect would take the job of finding the Venerable.

Feng Jun completed the final inspection of the two sects’ Void-opening operation and estimated that the observers needed to retreat about fifty-six thousand li for relative safety. As the activation approached, Yi Jue and Huoliu urged others to withdraw farther, while Feng Jun still awaited Grand Void’s promised reward.

• Cang Jing accepted Feng Jun’s commission, and Chenxi promised to report the matter to his sect and secure an explanation.
• Feng Jun spent eleven days conducting three final inspections, then told Chenxi the operation should begin within five days; the sects chose to activate it four days later.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue began retreating, and Feng Jun refused to answer Duan Liang’s questions until Grand Void delivered his promised reward.
• Feng Jun divined that about fifty-six thousand li was relatively safe, and a large crowd followed as he moved to that distance.
• Yi Jue ordered Huoliu to retreat another ten thousand li, and Huoliu warned others that they should leave because he could not withstand the danger.

Feng Jun and the others watched Xuanhuang and Yuangang begin the Boundary-Breaking Operation, as flames weakened the Grand Membrane and a massive force gathered behind it. When the barrier finally ruptured, three defensive teams worked to contain a beam of golden radiance, and the battle was still underway.

• Feng Jun's group withdrew fifty-six thousand li while the other cultivators formed a V-shaped viewing formation farther behind them.
• The Boundary-Breaking Operation began, and flames spread across the Grand Membrane until it turned pale blue and surged like a sea.
• Xuanhuang and Yuangang deployed thirty-six battle teams, mobile support groups, and a command center to defend against the coming impact.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue sensed that the Grand Membrane was about to explode, and Elder Qingji and Cang Jing explained how the Lock-Heaven Formation could withstand the released energy.
• A rupture blasted open in the Grand Membrane and sent a powerful beam of golden radiance toward the defenses.
• Three teams took turns striking the beam's path to slow and contain it, while the first team returned for a second, weaker attack.

The energy pouring through openings in the Grand Membrane overwhelmed the defenders, and Fishing Elder True Venerable appeared to contain the crisis with his Fish Basket. After his phantom vanished, he heard Elder Duan Liang’s criticism from afar and confronted him.

• The second, third, and fourth openings unleashed increasingly powerful energy, forcing squads to retreat and leaving three Nascent Souls without their bodies.
• The fifth opening broke through the third defensive barrier, killing a fifth of one squad and destroying two Nascent Souls.
• Fishing Elder True Venerable appeared in a giant phantom form and absorbed the energy pillar into his Fish Basket.
• Fishing Elder True Venerable ordered a support team to repair the third defensive barrier, then his phantom and Fish Basket vanished when the pillar broke free.
• Fishing Elder True Venerable sent his divine sense from more than seventy thousand li away to challenge Elder Duan Liang, who apologized and introduced himself.

As the Chaotic Celestial Phenomenon erupted and overwhelmed the Grand Membrane’s defenses, Feng Jun was nearly struck by a redirected energy column while Yi Jue tried to save him. A slightly plump man rescued them both, and Feng Jun began negotiating the two questions he had wanted to ask as the disaster continued to spread.

• Venerable Fishing Elder learned that Duan Liang was Grand Void’s liaison to Feng Jun, then let him off after Duan Liang apologized.
• The Chaotic Celestial Phenomenon ignited, opening more than ten breaches and bringing several Soul-Emergence True Immortals into the crisis.
• A rescue squad’s attempt to redirect an energy column sent it toward Feng Jun, and Yi Jue rushed to pull him away.
• The slightly plump man carried Feng Jun and Yi Jue a hundred li away, then asked Feng Jun to settle his reward by asking the two questions.
• Cang Jing struck an energy column with Mystic Ice as the crisis spread across Heavenly Zither and the rescue forces deployed.

After the passage to the Insectoid World opened, the energy pillars weakened and Xuanhuang and Yuangang began organizing the aftermath and allowing outside cultivators to join future explorations. Feng Jun and his companions accepted the invitation to enter the unknown world, while Cang Jing remarked that Duan Liang had benefited from Feng Jun’s influence.

• Xuanhuang and Yuangang revealed ten reserve squads, bringing their forces to forty-six squads and seven True Venerables as other Human Race cultivators joined the battle.
• Fishing Elder True Venerable announced that the passage to the Insectoid World had opened, causing the energy pillars to weaken and the gathered cultivators to cheer.
• Xuanhuang and Yuangang began selecting breaches to repair or expand, then registered contributors and promised outside cultivators permission to explore the Insectoid World in an orderly manner.
• After suffering heavy losses, the two sects decided to admit outside explorers, and Dawn True Immortal assured Feng Jun that his group would not be forced to cooperate.
• Feng Jun asked Yi Jue, Cang Jing, Qingji, and Duan Liang whether they would go, and all agreed to enter the Insectoid World.
• Duan Liang said he had summoned Jing Quan and the others, while Cang Jing remarked that Feng Jun’s influence had helped him get the opportunity.
