Chapter Summaries

True Lord Hanhai joined Fishing Elder, Ren Tu, and True Lord Half-Fool in an attack on Spirit Projection Insect Race cultivators while Feng Jun stayed behind. In Lower Capital, Feng Jun learned how Brother Jiu had been pressured over his supplies, and Brother Jiu revealed he had found a lead on a limb-regeneration medicine production line.

• True Lord Hanhai agreed to join the attack but offered to hold the line, provoking Wei Sancai and True Lord Half-Fool; the four True Lords then entered space to meet True Lord Ren Tu.
• Feng Jun declined to watch the attack and went to Lower Capital, where he found Sister Qin's commercial building and Brother Jiu's warehouse badly damaged.
• Brother Jiu explained that the Military Headquarters had investigated him over the 240,000 tons of supplies, detained him for three days, and later pressured him for Energy Stones.
• Brother Jiu told Feng Jun that he had found a lead on a production line for growth-factor medicine that could regenerate limbs.

Feng Jun discussed buying a Limb Regeneration drug production line from Brother Jiu, but said his group was not ready to commit and reminded him that aid was not owed. After hearing about the desperate situation in Lower Capital, Feng Jun asked what supplies mattered most, and Brother Jiu prepared to receive Energy Stones at a newly acquired hospital basement.

• Feng Jun learned that the Chen Family held many patents but lacked a license to produce Limb Regeneration drugs, and Brother Jiu quoted a steep price and a delivery time of up to a year.
• Brother Jiu told Feng Jun that people accused his Super Gene Warriors of sharing Insect Race biotechnology, while Feng Jun dismissed the rumors and declined to focus on the production line for now.
• Brother Jiu urged Feng Jun to send supplies because Lower Capital was close to falling, but Feng Jun insisted his group had no obligation to help.
• Brother Jiu explained that Sister Qin had let her commercial building collapse after factions pressured her for supplies and Energy Stones, despite the government asking her to restore it.
• Feng Jun asked which supplies Brother Jiu needed most, and Brother Jiu chose Energy Stones over food or medicine because his people lacked weapons.
• Brother Jiu told Feng Jun he had acquired a former private hospital with three vast underground levels for storage, after its owner offered him the land.

• Feng Jun agreed to leave Brother Jiu supplies as a deposit for a Limb Regeneration medicine production line, and Brother Jiu agreed to share some with Sister Qin.
• Feng Jun filled the hospital’s underground levels with supplies, which Brother Jiu and Sister Qin later found alongside a large quantity of Energy Stones.
• A massive energy fluctuation struck Xingzheng Star, and the local news reported that it came from an area where the Insect Race was concentrated.
• Hanhai True Venerable brought Fishing Elder to Feng Jun, explaining that Fishing Elder needed to recuperate after a Soul Emergence insect self-detonated during battle.
• Fishing Elder returned to the passage entrance without admitting he was injured and recommended Xiaotong True Venerable to take his place at the front.
• Feng Jun took Xiaotong and Hanhai back to Xingzheng Star, where Xiaotong noticed that Wei Sancai had also come to the Insectoid World.

Feng Jun and the True Venerables returned to the New Desert Sector while the Luo Clan investigated suspects who might have discovered the Six-Yao Formation. A lead linked the formation to the vanished Dongmen Clan and its descendant Dong Wanting, whose death during the hunt for the Golden Crow Sect traitor Great Sun True Immortal raised new questions.

• Xiaotong True Venerable asked Feng Jun to return when possible because the Insectoid World’s front line might change, and Feng Jun said he was hunting the culprit who had ambushed him.
• Feng Jun arrived in the New Desert Sector with Hanhai True Venerable and Wei Sancai, where Luo Yuanwu reported that millions of people were potential suspects in the formation investigation.
• Mo Ran True Immortal and Qingque True Immortal told Feng Jun that a Dongmen Clan senior had written about the Six-Yao Formation, and Luo Yuanwu found records of a small Dong Clan in New Desert.
• Luo Zhuhe uncovered records of suspected Dong Clan descendants, including Dong Wanting, who had become a Golden Crow Sect outer court disciple.
• A Luo Clan Nascent Soul cultivator said Dong Wanting died during a mission to hunt Great Sun True Immortal, the Golden Crow Sect defector whom the Sky-Qin Plane had placed a bounty on.

Feng Jun investigated the old New Desert law-enforcement operations and found possible links between the Spirit Wood Dao, Liaoyin, and his conflict with the sect. He decided to consult Yi Jue and ask Elder Qingji to investigate Dong Wanting, and Yi Jue agreed to return with him.

• Feng Jun questioned Luo Yuanwu about the cleanups after New Desert's Demonic Calamity and learned that Spirit Wood Dao cultivators had joined the fifth and sixth operations.
• Feng Jun investigated True Immortal Liaoyin and learned that he was Iron Bone True Immortal's martial uncle and had died after clashing with a Spirit Plant Path cultivator.
• Feng Jun revealed that he and Cang Jing had helped Yi Jue confront the Spirit Wood Dao and that he had taken the Heaven-Deriving Mirror from Iron Bone.
• Mo Ran urged Feng Jun to consult Yi Jue, so Feng Jun returned to Xingzheng Star and summoned her.
• Yi Jue agreed to return with Feng Jun, contact Withered Wood, and help arrange for Elder Qingji to investigate Dong Wanting.

Feng Jun investigated whether Little Winter Melon could have belonged to Dong Wanting’s family, uncovering a secret massacre and the Spirit Wood Dao’s efforts to conceal his origins. After obtaining a Dong Clan bloodline sample, he decided to search the Spirit Wood Dao’s eight major sectors with Yi Jue.

• True Immortal Yi Jue gave Feng Jun records stating that Liaoyin had died in seclusion and identifying Little Winter Melon as an obscure former honorary disciple who had been killed by Shou Xin.
• True Immortal Qing Huang found that the Dong Clan had been suppressed and relocated, but one illegitimate son had founded a family that now included two Golden Core cultivators; he gave Feng Jun hair and vital blood from its members.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue considered how to investigate Little Winter Melon, and Mo Ran and Qingque went to the Spirit Wood Dao Auxiliary Gate to gather information.
• Mo Ran and Qingque learned that the Spirit Wood Dao had forbidden discussion of Liaoyin’s less prominent disciples and that Little Winter Melon had massacred a Liu family branch after it attacked his family.
• Feng Jun proposed visiting the Spirit Wood Dao’s eight major sectors to compare the Dong Clan bloodline, and Yi Jue agreed to accompany him.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue traced the Dong Family’s bloodline to several clans as the Luo Clan prepared to investigate the Xiao family. Their discussion of Dong Wanting’s past revealed that Great Sun True Immortal had apparently stolen a Golden Crow primary tail feather, information that sharply interested the Big Shot; Yi Jue then agreed to recuperate at Feng Jun’s place and inspect the Wei Clan’s Domain Protection Formation.

• Feng Jun and Yi Jue found three clans with bloodlines matching the Dong Family, including the Xiao family, whose ancestors had moved nine hundred years earlier.
• Luo Shiqi ordered his True Immortals to determine whether the Xiao family knew about New Desert’s Six-Yao Formation, and Luo Yuanwu said the Luo Clan planned to Soul Search them.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue discussed why Dong Wanting’s family had left the Golden Crow Sect’s protection and suspected the sect had driven them away after his mission failed.
• Yi Jue recalled that Great Sun True Immortal had seemingly stolen a borrowed Golden Crow primary tail feather, prompting an intense reaction from the Big Shot in Feng Jun’s mind.
• Feng Jun invited Yi Jue to recuperate at his place and see the Wei Clan’s Domain Protection Formation, which the World Domain had strengthened beyond its original level.

Feng Jun let Yi Jue handle the uproar at Liba Beach, then visited the Blue Star Realm and learned the Heaven-Deriving Mirror’s second form required five hundred Extreme Spirit Stones and could develop toward karma. Back at Luo Hua, he reviewed everyone’s progress and rejected Shen Qingyi’s request for deeper cooperation with Jade Ruins, instead asking Liang Siyu about the diabetes supplement’s market.

• Yi Jue warned Liba Beach that anyone who colluded with outsiders would face her, then told Broken Blade and the others that three True Venerables were awaiting answers about the attack.
• Feng Jun visited the Guardians, who revealed the Heaven-Deriving Mirror’s second form cost five hundred Extreme Spirit Stones and that karma was its next avenue of development.
• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua and found that Yu Qingzhu, Gu Jiahui, and the others had advanced in cultivation, while An Hejun had become a High-Rank Martial Master.
• Shen Qingyi asked Feng Jun to let Jade Ruins distribute Luo Hua’s health supplements, but he refused deeper cooperation because Jade Ruins had previously seized things by force.
• Feng Jun summoned Liang Siyu and asked how the diabetes supplement produced in Jinzhou was selling; she said the market was strong and counterfeit products had appeared.

Feng Jun discussed the booming Luo Goddess supplements and counterfeit products with Liang Siyu, then met Lin Beauty about Ask Immortal Manor’s paperwork and the government’s medical projects. He agreed to appear once to finalize the village arrangements, but left Lin Beauty alarmed after revealing that he had nearly died again and that even their strongest help would be useless.

• Liang Siyu told Feng Jun that Luo Goddess supplements were selling well and that Daoist Orders might become distributors, while Feng Jun found counterfeit listings online.
• Lin Beauty gave Feng Jun the documents for Ask Immortal Manor, and they argued over his need to appear in person and his threat to delay providing gold.
• Feng Jun agreed to appear once to establish the Natural Village after Lin Beauty promised one-stop service for the remaining procedures.
• Lin Beauty reported that medicines for Diabetes and enhancing immunity had entered the market, while the Alzheimer's medicine was prepared but unreleased.
• Lin Beauty explained that authorities planned to let counterfeiters and sellers continue briefly before cracking down, and Feng Jun declined to pursue more production lines for now.
• Feng Jun told Lin Beauty that he had nearly died again during his four-month absence, and she was shocked to hear that even mushrooms would not help against his opponents.

Feng Jun rejected Lin Beauty’s requests to distribute Longevity Potion broadly, offering only a costly exception for her grandmother and insisting that his own plan must take priority. After Lin Beauty reported their conversation, her superiors proposed paying five hundred million for her grandmother’s quota.

• Feng Jun told Lin Beauty he could not obtain strategic weapons or a Longevity Potion production line quickly, and said he would not distribute small batches to the many people requesting them.
• Lin Beauty pleaded for a potion quota for her grandmother, and Feng Jun agreed to one exception for one billion Xia Currency.
• Feng Jun explained that Yu Qingzhu also paid for care and insisted that his plan to obtain the Life Potion production line should not be handled recklessly.
• Feng Jun told Lin Beauty that only he understood how to obtain the Life Potion and said any harm caused by following his plan would be growing pains.
• Lin Beauty left Luohua Manor and reported to her superiors that Feng Jun planned to visit Chaori County the next day and had agreed to a one-stop service.
• Lin Beauty’s superiors asked whether Feng Jun’s grandmother’s quota could be negotiated for five hundred million.

Feng Jun returned to Chaori County and helped his parents secure approval for establishing Ask Immortal Manor, then hosted a banquet for the officials who handled the paperwork. The prefect of Yunyuan arrived and sought Feng Jun’s help with local development, leaving Feng Jun willing to use his influence to bring resources to the prefecture.

• Feng Jun returned to Chaori County with a group and checked on his parents, who had both reached the Sixth Layer of Mortal Transcendence.
• Feng Wencheng came to help with the paperwork, while Gazi received him gratefully for his past kindness.
• Feng Jun, Lin Beauty, and the town and county staff completed the approval procedures for Ask Immortal Manor, leaving boundary surveys and other follow-up work for Feng Wenhui and his helpers.
• Feng Jun hosted the officials at a banquet and served them a roasted Kunhao Realm animal with traces of spiritual energy.
• The prefect of Yunyuan arrived late, toasted Feng Jun, and asked about developing tourism at Ask Immortal Manor and securing investment for Yunyuan.
• Feng Jun said he had no tourism plans but invited the prefect to bring forward development projects, intending to use his influence to secure resources for the prefecture.

Feng Jun helped resolve Yunyuan’s staffing issue and kept the spiritually nourishing roasted lamb from falling into the wrong hands. He then advised Yang Yuxi to establish a blacklist and limit Luo Hua’s treatment cases, leaving her ready to take responsibility for enforcing the policy.

• The Prefect of Yunyuan hosted Feng Jun and others at a banquet, where guests praised the unusually delicious roasted lamb.
• Gazi and Gao Qiang ate the remaining lamb, while Feng Wencheng kept a small portion and Lin Beauty asked to take the bones after guessing the sheep was alien.
• After the banquet, the Prefect of Yunyuan privately asked Feng Jun about the lamb, and Feng Jun said it was a newly developed breed not yet distributed.
• Feng Jun confronted Yang Yuxi about driving out a professor who had disrupted the treatment queue and told her to set rules to prevent future disorder.
• Yang Yuxi understood Feng Jun’s proposal to blacklist troublemakers and reduce the number of patients Luo Hua accepted, and she offered to shoulder the policy’s consequences.

Feng Jun considered recruiting a third batch of Luo Hua disciples from the Cultivation Courtyard, while Guan Shanyue sought his help after the prefecture pressured Cinnabar Cloud Heaven to accept Mud Country disciples. The chapter left Guan Shanyue facing a threat to Cinnabar Cloud Heaven’s secrets and unsure how to resist.

• Feng Jun considered recruiting Daoist Order members from the Cultivation Courtyard instead of relying on referrals, and the Daoist Order leaders agreed to let their disciples join Luo Hua.
• Guan Shanyue explained that Mud Country visitors had bought Three Lives Wine by the cup, then donated ten million to Cinnabar Cloud Heaven’s anti-trafficking work and questioned its methods and formations.
• The prefecture told Guan Shanyue that Mud Country would send people to join Cinnabar Cloud Heaven and cultivate the Dao.
• Guan Shanyue suspected the newcomers wanted access to Cinnabar Cloud Heaven’s Spirit-Gathering Formation and Devotion Test Formation, but she lacked the power to refuse the prefecture’s demand.
• Guan Shanyue went to Feng Jun for help as she realized Cinnabar Cloud Heaven remained vulnerable despite its recent revival.

Feng Jun agreed to help Guan Shanyue resist the prefecture’s plan to admit Mud Country people as disciples at Cinnabar Cloud Heaven by sending Luo Hua support. Zhang Caixin’s assault on the visitors was filmed and went viral, leaving the incident at the center of public attention.

• Feng Jun agreed to send Luo Hua practitioners to Cinnabar Cloud Heaven so Guan Shanyue could reject the prefecture’s plan without confronting it alone.
• Guan Shanyue chose Zhang Caixin to stay at Cinnabar Cloud Heaven as the prefecture prepared to witness the Mud Country visitors becoming disciples.
• Zhang Caixin beat several Mud Country men after they pestered her, and the constables took her to the police station.
• Feng Jun had Lin Beauty arrange Zhang Caixin’s release, and Zhang Caixin chose to remain at Cinnabar Cloud Heaven.
• A video of Zhang Caixin fighting the Mud Country men spread across Xia Nation, drawing widespread attention and both criticism and support.

Feng Jun learned that Cinnabar Cloud Heaven had been exposed online but would face quiet exclusion from local events, while Zhang Caixin returned safely. He refused to advise the Space Force without combat experience, then returned to Heavenly Zither and brought Hanhai True Venerable and Wei Sancai to the Luan-Nine Galaxy, where Jiu Si True Venerable’s decision to stay raised questions about claiming territory through naming.

• Posts and videos about Zhang Caixin’s fight with the Mud people spread, revealing the dispute over Cinnabar Cloud Heaven and prompting debate about whether Mud people should be accepted as disciples.
• Feng Jun suspected Steward Guan had helped protect Zhang Caixin’s identity, and Lin Beauty protested after he anonymously tested whether online comments were being filtered.
• Zhang Caixin returned, but Guan Shanyue later learned Cinnabar Cloud Heaven was being excluded from local publicity and events despite no longer facing direct orders.
• Lin Beauty asked Feng Jun to review Space Force tactics, but he refused to advise them and offered to provide holographic footage of space battles instead.
• Feng Jun returned to Heavenly Zither and took Hanhai True Venerable and Wei Sancai to the Luan-Nine Galaxy to discuss fighting insects.
• Hanhai True Venerable wanted to go to the First Battlefield, but Jiu Si True Venerable chose to remain in the Luan-Nine Galaxy, prompting Wei Sancai to ask whether its name marked a territorial claim.

Feng Jun assembled cultivators to join the fighting in the Luan-Nine Galaxy, while Yan Yuxi defied her clan’s objections and joined the team. After bringing Venerable Hanhai to the front lines, Feng Jun discovered the Insect Race’s attacks had intensified and found Hesheng’s production base still under siege, so he asked Yi Jue to investigate with him.

• Venerable Tuo Tuo agreed to coordinate with Wei Sancai as the Venerables prepared to lure the Insect Race’s warp-jumping forces into an ambush.
• Yan Yuxi chose to join Feng Jun’s team despite her clan’s attempts to keep her behind, and Xia Nishang helped her leave.
• Feng Jun warned the cultivators that the surviving Nascent-Soul insectoids were bait for a possible ambush, and more than twenty Golden Core cultivators chose to return to the Giant Planet.
• Feng Jun brought Venerable Hanhai to the front lines, where he learned that the Insect Race had escalated its attacks on the ground and against Human Race warships.
• Feng Jun found Hesheng’s production base badly reduced and defended by many women, then returned to Liba Beach and invited Yi Jue to investigate the changes.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue learned that the cultivators had been exposed to both the Insect Race and the Human Race, even as the Insect Race began reconsidering its assault. The chapter ended with Nascent Soul bugs pleading with True Venerable Ren Tu and True Venerable Half-Fool for their lives.

• He Runxian was released from house arrest and ordered Hesheng Production Base to contract its defenses and move most production underground as the Insect Race launched a general offensive.
• The military and Left Dragon City government forced He Runxian to maintain military production, while he secretly prioritized defending Storage Yard No. 3 and two other yards.
• Feng Jun decided to try to help He Runxian, and Yi Jue returned to tell him that both the Insect Race and Human Race had discovered the cultivators.
• The Federation threatened the hidden cultivators over unauthorized human gene modification, but True Venerable Xiaotong told them to continue their current operations.
• The Insect Race recognized that the cultivators and the Human Alliance were separate civilizations, and Nascent Soul bugs begged True Venerable Ren Tu and True Venerable Half-Fool to spare them.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue used a Rain-Praying Array while divining how long the Insect Race would remain at war, drawing both Federation troops and insects to the area. After Yi Jue killed the searching insects, they decided to set an ambush, while Feng Jun considered whether to target Federation personnel as well.

• Feng Jun and Yi Jue discussed the Insect Race’s possible withdrawal and moved away from the military to activate a Rain-Praying Array.
• The Federation detected the unusual rain and sent Blood-Killing Guards to contact the mysterious cultivators, while the Insect Race also sensed the spiritual energy and arrived.
• The Blood-Killing Guards and the Insect Race fought; the guards withdrew after losing two men, and the insects lost one Golden Core and had another badly wounded.
• Yi Jue used Yearning for Sweet Rain to kill the remaining Insect Race searchers while Feng Jun performed Divination, but his predictions ranged from three months to two years.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue decided to set an ambush, and Feng Jun said they might also kill Federation personnel, including people like Minister Shen.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue went to the Hesheng Production Base to help the Human Race fight an Insect Race assault, while discussing the scarce spirit stones needed to repair the Heaven-Deriving Mirror. True Venerable Half-Fool eliminated two Nascent-Soul insects, but an orbital observer recorded the attack.

• Feng Jun and Yi Jue abandoned their ambush and headed for the Hesheng Production Base to provide ammunition.
• They found the base under attack by a swarm of insects and set up Yi Jue's Nascent-Soul Rain-Praying Array nearby.
• Feng Jun gave Yi Jue a hundred Upper Spirit Stones and asked about the Extreme Spirit Stones needed to repair the Heaven-Deriving Mirror.
• Yi Jue explained how Spirit Plants could produce some spirit stones and suggested asking True Venerable Half-Fool to repair the mirror.
• True Venerable Half-Fool sensed the insects had discovered them and urged them to focus on the battle.
• True Venerable Half-Fool engulfed and made the two Nascent-Soul insects disappear, while a miniature orbital observer recorded the scene.

Yi Jue used the Yearning for Sweet Rain divine ability to wipe out the insects surrounding Hesheng Production Base, while Feng Jun collected their corpses and approached in a Space Mecha. He Runxian tried to meet him despite a Military Intelligence Directorate major's objections, and Feng Jun called out the major's suspicion.

• An officer withheld the space micro-observer's report from Hesheng, while the base noticed white mist gathering in the rain.
• Yi Jue killed the surrounding insects with her divine ability, and Feng Jun collected the corpses before the Federation could inspect them.
• He Runxian and the defenders confirmed that the insects had vanished as the fog thinned, then heard the Broker calling for him over a loudspeaker.
• A Military Intelligence Directorate major tried to prevent He Runxian from contacting the Broker, but He Runxian took the transmitter and spoke with Feng Jun.
• Feng Jun said He Runxian could come out wearing a mecha, and rejected the major's warnings that the meeting might be an Insect Race trap.
