Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun brought captured Insect Race samples to the Guardians, who examined their bloodlines and warned him against repeatedly straining Blue Star's protective power. After the Guardians said outside karmic burden posed little threat and advised him to hide future rescues in the ocean, Feng Jun chose space, replenished his spiritual energy, and returned to Yi Jue with the samples.

• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua after capturing the insects and used roughly four thousand units of spiritual energy.
• The Guardians scolded Feng Jun for killing many creatures from another plane, then examined the frozen sphere and found the insect samples sufficient to investigate their ties to Blue Star.
• The Guardians judged Feng Jun's karmic burden to be minor and said outside karmic burden could not interfere with their plane's cause and effect.
• The Guardians advised Feng Jun to conduct future rescues in the ocean to avoid exposure, but Feng Jun chose to travel into space instead.
• Feng Jun spent two days traveling through space, replenished his spiritual energy at Luo Hua, and told Liang Siyu to dismiss Lin Beauty's inquiries about the Lakemarta Desert.
• Feng Jun returned to the Insectoid World and gave Yi Jue the silk cloth and Storage Pouch; Yi Jue took half the insect corpses and returned the pouch.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue used his extended-range scouting and her ambushes to destroy several Insect Race military camps on the Mineral Star. When they found a huge, nest-like camp with two Nascent-Soul defenders, True Venerable Ren Tu offered to help them attack it.

• Feng Jun used the Five Rings and a Soul-Substitution Puppet to scout up to eight hundred li, locating scattered Insect Race squads and another military camp.
• Feng Jun urged Yi Jue to eliminate the roaming squads so they could disrupt the Insect Race’s control and communications, and Yi Jue ambushed them as Feng Jun guided her.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue wiped out another camp, then Feng Jun found a larger one that was assigned to him under their alternating agreement.
• Yi Jue discovered that her next camp was a semi-permanent nest with more than forty thousand Insect Race members, nearly a hundred Golden Cores, and two Nascent Souls.
• Feng Jun proposed attacking other camps before returning to recover, and True Venerable Ren Tu offered to help them take the nest, claiming only its Nascent-Soul and Golden-Core members.

Feng Jun agreed to help Yi Jue and True Adept Ren Tu clear Insect Race barracks in exchange for freedom from future demands and help eliminating his Karma when he returned. After he vanished with Fishing Elder’s Fish Basket and the imprisoned insects, the elders discussed Fishing Elder’s trust in him and speculated about the time difference in Feng Jun’s world.

• Yi Jue accepted the offer to clear forty thousand Insect Race members, and Feng Jun agreed to help without taking a share of the spoils.
• Feng Jun asked to be free from further obligations when he had his own matters to attend to and requested help eliminating his Karma when he returned.
• True Adept Ren Tu promised to identify Insect Race barracks on the planet, then imprisoned the nearby insects while Fishing Elder lent his Fish Basket to contain them.
• Feng Jun took the Fish Basket and vanished with it, leaving a vast pit where the barracks had stood.
• Fishing Elder defended his decision to trust Feng Jun, while True Adept Ren Tu accused him of fishing for human hearts.
• Yi Jue and True Adept Ren Tu speculated that time flowed differently in Feng Jun’s sect, with Ren Tu wondering whether the White Steed Tower was involved.

Feng Jun returned to Kun Hao after fighting in the Heavenly Zither Plane and discussed the Insectoid World, Yellow Profound Qi, and his plans with the Yin Soul Big Shot. He then met Yan Donglai, who wanted Feng Jun’s help entering the Insectoid World, and the chapter left Feng Jun considering how to arrange it.

• Feng Jun brought samples from the Insect Race barracks to the Guardians, who removed their distinctive aura from him despite complaining about his frequent use of the plane’s power.
• Feng Jun visited the Yin Soul Big Shot at Liba Beach, and it asked to accompany him to the Insectoid World because it was bored and hoped to find an opportunity there.
• The Yin Soul Big Shot recognized Feng Jun’s materials as ingredients for refining Yellow Profound Qi and inferred that his sect planned to offer the Qi to Heaven and Earth.
• Feng Jun decided against opening the Plane Gate because connecting Blue Star to Kun Hao could also connect it to the Insectoid World and hinder his use of the plane’s power against the Insect Race.
• Yan Donglai asked Feng Jun to help him enter the Insectoid World after Xuanhuang and Yuangang's Two Sects imposed restrictions on his registration.
• Feng Jun offered to give Yan Donglai a token or ask Fishing Elder True Venerable to let him accompany Feng Jun, while warning him to take responsibility for his own safety.

Feng Jun discussed Yan Donglai’s request to join the expedition to the Insectoid World, refused to take Yan Yuxi along, and offered the Yan Clan training in Mortal Communications. He then turned away True Immortal Zhuojiu’s request to visit the Wei Clan’s Minor World and treat its dying Chestnut Pear Tree, leaving the Wei Clan envoy bristling after Feng Jun displayed Fishing Elder True Venerable’s True Treasure.

• Feng Jun told Yan Donglai he could ask Fishing Elder True Venerable and Ren Tu True Venerable about his request but could not promise an answer, and he refused Yan Yuxi’s request to join the dangerous expedition.
• Feng Jun offered to train Yan Clan members in Mortal Communications, and Yan Yuxi accepted the opportunity for her clan.
• True Immortal Zhuojiu invited Feng Jun to Lingyang to diagnose the Wei Clan’s failing hundred-thousand-year-old Chestnut Pear Tree, but Feng Jun said he could not leave while people waited for him in the Insectoid World.
• When Zhuojiu questioned Feng Jun’s usefulness in the fighting, Feng Jun admitted his combat ability was limited and displayed Fishing Elder True Venerable’s True Treasure.
• Zhuojiu reacted angrily and sarcastically compared the Wei Clan’s True Venerables to those of the Seven Sects and Eighteen Paths, while Feng Jun asked whether the Wei Clan had many people on the Heavenly Zither Prime Plane.

Feng Jun warned True Immortal Zhuojiu about his dealings with powerful sect figures, prompting Zhuojiu to negotiate for a visit to the Lingyang Realm. Feng Jun then managed divinations and logistics before returning to the Insectoid World, where two True Venerables examined an insect nest and noticed that its plane aura had been erased while its Karma remained.

• Feng Jun told True Immortal Zhuojiu that he had arranged a bounty on True Venerable Jiu Si, who had later apologized to him, and Zhuojiu agreed to report Feng Jun's conditions for visiting the Lingyang Realm.
• Feng Jun brought Yang Yuxin, her daughter, Good Scenery, and later Zhang Caixin to Kunhao to support training and logistics while he performed divinations and transported supplies between realms.
• Feng Jun left Liba Beach after divining for just over forty people and returned to the Insectoid World half a day later, where True Venerable Ren Tu and numerous True Immortals had gathered to await him.
• Feng Jun returned Fishing Elder True Venerable's Fish Basket and presented a large Insect Race nest to the gathered cultivators.
• True Venerable Ren Tu and Fishing Elder True Venerable detected that the nest had no plane aura but still carried Karma, and Ren Tu suggested Feng Jun might have enemies.

Feng Jun continued eradicating Insect Race military camps while keeping Blue Star’s secrets protected, and the Yin Soul Big Shot asked whether the Guardian could be hired as reinforcements. After Feng Jun brought Yan Donglai into the campaign, the Insect Race began merging its camps, prompting the cultivators to consider a final all-out assault.

• Feng Jun cleared three Insect Race military camps, returned to Blue Star to recover, and had the Guardian erase the camps’ auras.
• The Yin Soul Big Shot noticed that Blue Star was an isolated plane and asked Feng Jun how many Spirit Stones it might take to hire the Guardian as reinforcements.
• Feng Jun told Yan Donglai that Fishing Elder had permitted him to join the expedition into the Insectoid World.
• Feng Jun and his allies destroyed more camps over repeated trips, bringing their total to sixteen or seventeen.
• The Insect Race began merging its camps and strengthening their guards, so Elder Qing Huang proposed an all-out assault before their opportunity disappeared.

Feng Jun destroyed eleven Insect Race camps on the Mineral Star as Human Race reinforcements forced the enemy to withdraw. After scouting the fourth, sixth, and Mineral planets, he told Yi Jue he planned to leave the Insectoid World and advance a stage, giving her a talisman to summon him if needed.

• Feng Jun and the Nascent Soul cultivators destroyed eleven Insect Race camps, and the Insect Race began withdrawing as Human Race reinforcements arrived outside the star system.
• Feng Jun returned to Liba Beach with Zhang Caixin, then asked Fishing Elder whether he could scout the fourth and sixth planets.
• Feng Jun found the fourth planet overrun by Insectoids and the sixth planet defended by Human forces, so he avoided attacking the enemy scouting squads.
• Feng Jun returned to the Mineral Star and saw that the Insect Race's withdrawal had raised Human soldiers' morale and allowed them to repair their defenses.
• Feng Jun told Yi Jue he planned to leave the Insectoid World and advance a stage, then gave her a Blood Essence Protective Talisman to call for his help.

Feng Jun opened a Two-Way Door between Blue Star and Kun Hao, allowing people and supplies to travel between the worlds. After the first day of crossings, he discovered the door consumed his Five Rings' Energy Points and decided to alternate which world he stayed in.

• Yi Jue returned Feng Jun's talisman and gave him one of her own, then left to capture more Insect Race members.
• Feng Jun returned to Blue Star and tasked Mi Yunshan with refining the Xuanhuang stone ring and managing the passage with Red Sister.
• Mi Yunshan opened the Two-Way Door, and Gazi crossed first to test it before returning for supplies.
• Zhang Caixin and others crossed into Kun Hao, while travelers spent the day moving people and supplies between both worlds.
• Feng Jun found that the Two-Way Door consumed his Five Rings' Energy Points, then said he would alternate nights between the two worlds.

Feng Jun’s Two-Way Door accelerated trade between Luo Hua and the other side while Liang Siyu used her new influence to protect her parents from her former boyfriend. As Feng Jun prepared to advance, True Immortal Zhuojiu asked him to travel to Lingyang to save a Chestnut Pear Tree and offered the Wei Clan’s Venerable ancestor as support.

• Luo Hua expanded shipments through the Two-Way Door, while Liang Siyu kept visitors away from the manor and rejected attempts to learn its secrets.
• Liang Siyu’s former boyfriend retaliated against her parents, so she enlisted Luo Hua’s business contacts to pressure his family and refused his later apology.
• Zhang Caixin advised Liang Siyu that her former boyfriend would not risk desperate retaliation, and his family sold its business and withdrew from commerce.
• Gu Jiahui began technical training for the Yan Clan and Huangfu Clan, consulting experts on Blue Star through the Two-Way Door.
• Feng Jun spent more than ten days preparing for advancement, and True Immortal Zhuojiu urged him to travel to Lingyang to save a Chestnut Pear Tree.
• Feng Jun explained that he needed to prepare for advancement and remain available to support the Insectoid World, and True Immortal Zhuojiu said the Wei Clan’s Venerable ancestor could take him and provide backup.

Feng Jun refused the Wei Clan's demand to travel alone, offering instead to perform Divination at Liba Beach under specific conditions and fees. As he continued recuperating, visitors and obligations crowded his time, and the chapter ended with a new request for Luo Hua's support in a company succession struggle.

• Feng Jun rejected True Immortal Zhuojiu's request to enter the Wei Clan's territory without companions and offered to perform Divination at Liba Beach if the Wei Clan provided a Chestnut Pear Tree branch, Lingyang Realm soil, and traces of its aura.
• True Immortal Zhuojiu questioned Feng Jun's fees and the conditions for saving a patient, but Feng Jun said the Wei Clan's case did not qualify for killing one person to save another because he lacked confidence.
• Yu Qingzhu told Feng Jun that the Void treasures were running low, while the Yin Soul Big Shot asked to cross the Two-Way Door and people claiming Feng Jun's bounty rewards chose Divination tokens.
• Sophia visited Luo Hua, crossed the Two-Way Door, and felt hurt when people in Kun Hao reacted to her appearance; Gazi bluntly told her to meet more beautiful women.
• Feng Jun arranged for Li Shishi and Mei Yeyu to attend Xia Nishang's Nascent Soul Formation celebration in his place because he could not leave Liba Beach.
• A company chairman nearing retirement sought Luo Hua's backing as three factions competed to succeed him.

Liang Siyu faced pressure to give a rising appliance company a chance to supply Luo Hua, despite its established procurement rules and an existing supplier’s leadership turmoil. Feng Jun advised waiting until the current supplier actually failed to meet its obligations, but Liang Siyu warned that the newcomer controlled upstream resources for control chips.

• A rising appliance company tried to win Luo Hua’s orders by offering deferred payment and unconditional returns, while lobbying Liang Siyu to replace its troubled competitor.
• Li Shishi advised Liang Siyu to follow procurement policy and wait for clear supply or quality problems before replacing a supplier.
• After Yin Mingyue and Zhang Caixin both directed her to consult Feng Jun, Liang Siyu explained the situation to him.
• Feng Jun said Luo Hua should wait because the existing supplier had not breached its contract, and Liang Siyu warned that the newcomer controlled upstream resources for control chips.

Feng Jun summoned Yi Jue and four other powerful True Immortals to protect him as he prepared to advance, signaling that the Wei Clan could not intimidate him. Yi Jue examined the dying Chestnut Pear Tree branch and stopped her Divination before giving Feng Jun her findings.

• Feng Jun refused to yield to pressure over appliance component supplies and decided to seek Yi Jue's help with the Chestnut Pear Tree branch and his advancement.
• Feng Jun traveled to the Insectoid World, checked the Human Race's defensive position on the Mineral Star, and asked Yi Jue to protect him while he advanced.
• Ren Tu True Venerable, Qing Huang True Immortal, Cang Jing True Immortal, Dawn True Immortal, and Liu Xingyu agreed to accompany Feng Jun to the Kunhao Realm.
• Feng Jun brought the five True Immortals to Liba Beach, and True Immortal Zhuojiu recognized the show of support as a warning to the Wei Clan.
• Yi Jue began a Divination on the Chestnut Pear Tree branch, then stopped and asked Feng Jun what his own Divination had revealed.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue investigated whether the Wei Clan’s Chestnut Pear Tree was nearing nirvana and explored how to help it survive. Feng Jun proposed using carefully combined lightning, fire, and water arts, but Yi Jue warned that the tree was more likely to be annihilated than become Thunderstruck Wood.

• Feng Jun told Yi Jue he suspected the Chestnut Pear Tree was approaching nirvana, and Yi Jue confirmed that plants could undergo nirvana.
• Yi Jue explained that tree nirvana was rare and said her Vitality Dao Intent might help, but she did not want to aid the Wei Clan without compensation.
• Feng Jun used Thunderstone and a thunder pearl to divine whether lightning could trigger the tree’s nirvana, while Yi Jue conducted her own Divination.
• Feng Jun proposed striking the tree with heavenly lightning until it died, then using controlled fire and water arts to let new shoots grow from its roots.
• Elder Cang Jing praised Feng Jun’s reasoning and suggested the Wei Clan pay him with its hundred-thousand-year Thunderstruck Wood, but Yi Jue warned the dying tree would probably be annihilated rather than become Thunderstruck Wood.

Feng Jun gave True Immortal Zhuojiu a risky plan to attempt the Chestnut Pear Tree’s Nirvana, but refused an on-site inspection and clashed with the Wei Clan over his conditions. After Feng Jun entered seclusion, Realm’s Favor accompanied his advancement, and the five-day spiritual rain helped two more people achieve Core Embrace.

• Feng Jun explained how to use lightning, Netherworld Blue Flame, and Violet-Silver Heavy Water to attempt the Chestnut Pear Tree’s Nirvana, estimating its chance of success at ten to fifty percent.

• Feng Jun escorted Cang Jing and Qing Huang back to Heavenly Zither, rested for three days, and then entered seclusion as the Two-Way Door was shut down.
• On the sixth day of Feng Jun’s seclusion, his advancement aura appeared, and Yi Jue, Liu Xingyu, Chenxi, and Chao Cheng guarded him.
• Realm’s Favor brought five days of spiritually charged drizzle during Feng Jun’s advancement, and two people achieved Core Embrace.

Feng Jun completed his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm and prepared a group expedition into the Void, negotiating terms with several sects. Just as the expedition was about to depart, True Venerable Luan Xiong unexpectedly joined, planning to establish new treasure-hunting sites.

• Cultivators gathered at Liba Beach during Feng Jun's advancement, and Xia Nishang arrived to help guard him before his breakthrough aura finally stabilized.
• Feng Jun ended his seclusion, thanked the cultivators who had protected him, and later arranged a Void expedition with Yi Jue, Dawn True Immortal, and Liu Xingyu.
• At the Icefield Plane, Dawn True Immortal requested that the Xuanhuang Sect join the expedition, and Feng Jun agreed to wait three days and charge everyone the same terms.
• The Xuanhuang Sect sent three True Immortals, while each of the other four parties brought three Nascent Soul cultivators, a True Adept, and three spatially gifted female Emergence from Dust cultivators.
• True Venerable Luan Xiong arrived with one thousand Upper Spirit Stones and announced that he intended to open new mining sites in Feng Jun's Shattered Stone Belt.

Feng Jun negotiated terms with Luan Xiong for Golden Crow Sect access to a Void mine, then discussed the Two-Way Door and his plans for Spiritual Qi Revival with Yi Jue. Yi Jue trusted him with weapons she had collected for him and invited him to find a more spacious place.

• Feng Jun agreed that the Golden Crow Sect could take half of a new mine, with him charging a twenty percent transportation fee and disclaiming responsibility for danger there.
• Feng Jun sent Luan Xiong and Cang Jing to the Shattered Stone Belt, then returned to Liba Beach with Yi Jue.
• Yi Jue finished divining a treatment plan for the Chestnut Pear Tree and asked where the Two-Way Door led; Feng Jun told her it opened to an End-Dharma Plane.
• Feng Jun explained that he was testing Spiritual Qi Revival there, and Yi Jue accepted his precautions but agreed that she should not visit the plane.
• Yi Jue revealed that she had collected complete Disc-Shaped Battleships and Space Mecha for Feng Jun, who thanked her and promised to repay her.
• Yi Jue dismissed the need for repayment and led Feng Jun outside to find a more spacious place.

Yi Jue delivered damaged Insectoid warships and computing equipment for Feng Jun to use in a Dharma-Ending Plane, while warning him that cultivators may have been noticed in the Insectoid World. True Immortal Zhuojiu then visited Feng Jun and learned that Feng Jun could teleport back to places he had already visited, making the Wei Clan reconsider inviting him to Lingyang.

• Yi Jue gave Feng Jun several Space Mechas, two Disc-Shaped Battleships, and a Storage Talisman containing quantum computers and servers.
• Yi Jue told Feng Jun that people in the Insectoid World suspected a force had developed Super Gene Warriors capable of fighting in space.
• Feng Jun sent Yi Jue back to the Insectoid World and prepared to return to Blue Star, but Liu Yiyi reported that True Immortal Zhuojiu had come to see him.
• True Immortal Zhuojiu asked Feng Jun whether his teleportation art could return him to places he had visited, and Feng Jun confirmed that it could.
• True Immortal Zhuojiu complained that Feng Jun had not revealed this ability sooner, and Feng Jun criticized the Wei Clan for failing to investigate him properly.

Feng Jun arranged for Lin Beauty and five specialists to inspect a cache of advanced spacecraft and weapons at a decommissioned air force base. After introducing the equipment, he agreed to answer questions, while the specialists considered carefully probing him about its developers.

• The white-haired old man asked the middle-aged man whether they could inquire about the equipment’s source, and the man advised probing Feng Jun about its developers instead.

Feng Jun showed researchers damaged mechas and quantum computers from another world, then refused to explain its society or let them contact its people. Their examination uncovered traces of the Insect Race and genetically distinct humans, leaving Blue Star officials alarmed and eager to keep the discoveries secret.

• Feng Jun told the researchers that contacting the developers could bring unlimited danger to Blue Star and offered to restrain them himself.
• He brought out damaged mechas and quantum computers, answered questions about their power requirements, and declined to promise access to technological materials.
• Feng Jun refused to discuss the other world's social structure and vanished before the researchers could get his phone number.

• Tests showed that the other world's Human Race differed genetically from Blue Star humans by nearly one percent, while experts dismissed attempts to crack the quantum computers for information as hopeless.
