Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun questioned Luo Tianxiang about the Luo Clan’s claims regarding Extreme Spirit, and Yi Jue joined them as a witness. After they opened the sealed box, Yi Jue confirmed what it contained but showed no interest in hearing the clan’s reasons.

• Luo Tianxiang admitted that the Seventeenth Ancestor tended to exaggerate and explained why the Luo Clan wanted two Virtual Battle Artifacts.
• Yi Jue contacted Feng Jun and offered to discuss the formations, then agreed to witness his dealings with Luo Tianxiang.
• Feng Jun invited Yi Jue inside as a witness after she warned that the Luo Clan might be trying to cheat him.
• Luo Tianxiang opened a sealed box containing fifteen pieces of Extreme Spirit and one piece of Obsidian, then showed Yi Jue the second Obsidian.
• Yi Jue confirmed that she had witnessed the contents but declined to hear Luo Tianxiang’s explanation for the Luo Clan’s actions.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue helped finalize an energy-conversion formation design, and Feng Jun refined two sets of artifacts for the Luo Clan. As Liba Beach grew into a crowded hub for virtual combat tests and trade, Feng Jun had to leave because he had run out of Spirit Stones.

• Feng Jun and Yi Jue spent a night discussing the formation concept, then Yi Jue worked with Elder Dian Jing to finalize the plan and raise the theoretical Energy Stone conversion rate to twenty-nine percent.
• Yi Jue agreed to help Feng Jun refine artifacts, and Feng Jun deduced and completed two sets over the following days.
• The Luo Clan accepted the artifacts, leaving one top-spec set beside Liba Beach for testing and secretly sending the standard set back to its minor realm.
• Cultivators and merchants flocked to Liba Beach to test or watch virtual combat artifacts, and some gained opportunities such as recruitment by the Golden Crow Sect.
• Liba Beach expanded rapidly amid the crowds and electrical-appliance cargo trade, but Feng Jun left after running out of Spirit Stones.

Feng Jun faced a shortage of Ordinary Spirit Stones because refining magic treasures consumed them faster than he could replenish them, so he decided to slow his refining and seek more in the Icefield Plane. After announcing an exchange offer, he received proposals from powerful groups, including the Grand Void Sect, whose mine-share offer left him considering his options.

• Feng Jun realized that refining nearly twenty magic treasures had depleted his Ordinary Spirit Stones, and he decided to collect his and Yi Jue's shares from the Icefield Plane mine.
• Feng Jun recognized that Mirror Spirit and the Guardians had taken the Extreme Spirit Stones he earned, leaving him to bear the refining costs, and he chose to slow down the work.
• Yi Jue said she and Cang Jing would accompany Feng Jun to the Icefield Plane to collect their dividends.
• After Mirror Spirit's aura vanished from Liba Beach, Feng Jun announced that he would exchange Mid-Grade Spirit Stones at one for one hundred and eighty and Upper Spirit Stones at one for thirty thousand Ordinary Spirit Stones.
• Xuanyuan Buqi offered to cover the exchange for the Xuanyuan Clan, and the Grand Void Sect proposed half the shares in its Yangmi Plane mine in exchange for twenty thousand Upper Spirit Stones.
• Feng Jun considered the Grand Void Sect's mine offer after weighing its long mining period against the value of shared access and support.

Feng Jun secured a large supply of ordinary Spirit Stones through exchanges and reconsidered how to fund his magic treasure research and mine development. After limiting Liba Beach’s exchanges to avoid disrupting the market, he planned to mine more resources on Blue Star, but a waiting family arrived before he could leave.

• Yi Jue proposed surveying Spirit Plant Path wasteland for a Spirit Stone mine and splitting any discovery among herself, Feng Jun, and the sect, while Feng Jun remained concerned about his shortage of ordinary Spirit Stones.
• On the Icefield Plane, Feng Jun exchanged three thousand Upper Spirit Stones with the Zhao Family for over one hundred million ordinary Spirit Stones and rewarded the Mysterious Water Sect cultivator who had introduced the opportunity.
• Yi Jue returned to Liba Beach to study the formation design, while Zhang Caixin relayed Xia Nishang’s warning that Liba Beach’s large-scale Spirit Stone exchanges could provoke jealousy and disrupt established channels.
• Bai Luan advised Feng Jun that Liba Beach should keep its exchanges small, so he decided to charge ordinary Spirit Stones for future deductions and increase mining in Leo Kingdom and the Western Continent.
• Feng Jun prepared to visit the Blue Star Realm and test excavation magic treasures, but the next family awaiting refined magic treasures arrived.

Feng Jun refused the Rui Clan’s request to advance its place in the magical artifact queue and learned that families suspected him of favoring sects. After returning to Blue Star, he saw Xia Nation’s rapid technological and medical progress and watched it weigh an overseas leader’s request to buy advanced medical equipment.

• Feng Jun told the Rui Clan it might wait one to four months for artifact refining and refused to let it exchange its queue position with another faction.
• Yan Yuxi told Feng Jun that the Rui Clan was probing his attitude and that some families suspected he favored sect cultivators.
• Feng Jun returned to Blue Star and inspected Xia Nation’s advances in technology, healthcare, mining, construction, and quantum transmission.
• A foreign president sought treatment in Xia Nation and recovered after receiving care with advanced equipment and medicines.
• The president asked to buy Holographic Imaging equipment, and Xia Nation agreed to let one set go while refusing to sell Nanorobots.

Feng Jun returned to find Xia Nation facing pressure over its scarce medical equipment and Nanorobots, while Chaori County was rapidly developing his village into a heavily fortified settlement. After Feng Wenhui raised concerns about the construction, Feng Jun said he would handle it.

• Xia Nation exported a holographic diagnostic system to a brother nation, but kept its operation and scarce Nanoscale Repair Fluid under tight control after some fluid was stolen and taken abroad.
• Feng Jun told Lin Beauty he could not obtain more Nanorobots soon because people had discovered his existence, and he refused to inspect the warriors' training before handing over pills.
• Feng Jun found Chaori County building infrastructure for a planned village of thirty thousand residents, including deep underground facilities and extensive defenses.
• Ma Sanniang revealed herself to Feng Wenhui and warned him that she and the white goose could guard the Spirit Land without dogs.
• Feng Wenhui and his wife told Feng Jun that the village's grand construction and underground facilities unsettled them, and Feng Jun said he would take care of it.

Feng Jun checked the fortified village, warned the construction team by carving a vast underground passage himself, and ensured they began consulting his parents. A fire at a Jinzhou pharmaceutical factory then exposed the theft of secret diabetes-treatment research, prompting Lin Beauty to inform Luo Hua and Zhang Caixin to demand a quick resolution.

• Feng Jun ordered the construction team to pause and asked them to consult Feng Wenhui and Zhang Junyi, then carved an underground passage several kilometers long to demonstrate his strength.
• The construction team resumed work and assigned a female supervisor to stay with Feng Wenhui and Zhang Junyi and seek their input.
• A fire at a Jinzhou factory producing diabetes-treatment health supplements destroyed its records room, and investigators discovered that a hard drive containing secret research had been stolen.
• Lin Beauty contacted Luo Hua about the theft and reported the incident to Zhang Caixin through their direct line.
• Zhang Caixin mocked Lin Beauty for trying to handle the matter herself and gave her five hours to resolve it before seeking help.

Lin Beauty failed to recover the stolen hard drive in time, so Feng Jun tracked down and captured the culprit himself. In Kun Hao, Feng Jun approved the Energy Conversion Formation design, but Elder Dian Jing’s self-importance continued to irritate Yi Jue and Feng Jun.

• Lin Beauty reported leads on the hard drive theft, but Zhang Caixin and Feng Jun rejected her plan to set a trap and pursue the suspects.
• Feng Jun vanished and returned six and a half minutes later with the hard drive and its captor located; Lin Beauty’s team retrieved the unconscious man.
• Yu Qingzhu told Feng Jun that the Energy Conversion Formation design was complete, and Yi Jue asked him to conduct the final Divination in Kun Hao.
• Feng Jun approved the design and joined Yi Jue in authorizing the Formation Dao to use its principles; Elder Dian Jing later claimed the formation was the result of his and Yi Jue’s work.
• Yi Jue told Feng Jun the formation’s tests were going well, and Feng Jun remarked that Elder Dian Jing thought highly of himself.

Feng Jun and the others completed and celebrated the new formation disk, after which Feng Jun began refining magic treasures. Just as he prepared to work on the Xiong Clan’s treasure, the clan revealed that it had lost the Extreme Spirit needed to pay him.

• Feng Jun’s irregular visits frustrated Elder Dian Jing, but the formation disk was eventually refined and optimized after more than a month of delays.
• More than thirty thousand people celebrated the formation disk’s completion at Liba Beach, and Feng Jun left before dawn.
• After the Formation Dao finished testing the disk, Feng Mountain Lord resumed work on the Virtual Combat System, and Feng Jun completed the Rui Clan’s magic treasure in three days.
• Mei Yeyu summoned Feng Jun while Yi Jue was scattering Spirit Stones, and he went to meet the Mi Xiong Clan representatives.
• An Eighth-Layer Nascent Soul from the Mi Xiong Clan asked to postpone its place in line because the clan had lost the Extreme Spirit it owed Feng Jun.

Feng Jun refused to let the Xiong Clan jump the crafting queue after its Extreme Spirits were stolen, though he agreed to wait while they handled the matter. True Immortal Youshan then invited Yu Qingzhu to explain why Feng Jun's decision seemed wrong, leaving her poised to speak.

• True Immortal Youshan asked Feng Jun to postpone the Xiong Clan's crafting while its disciples pursued the culprit who had taken their Extreme Spirits.
• Feng Jun insisted that the Xiong Clan could not change the queue order, and Xuanyuan Buqi urged him to respect the clan's determination to handle its humiliation alone.
• Feng Jun agreed to wait for the Xiong Clan but warned that returning its deposit could invite even greater shame and complaints from those behind it in line.
• Yu Qingzhu began to object, and Feng Jun first told her not to interrupt before allowing her to speak at True Immortal Youshan's request.

Yu Qingzhu argued that Liba Beach should respond after the Xiong Clan was robbed while preparing to descend to the lower realm, but the Xiong Clan said it did not need help. Feng Jun convened Liba Beach’s core members to debate whether to establish rules against threats to customers, leaving the decision unresolved.

• Yu Qingzhu asked True Immortal Youshan where the Xiong Clan’s Extreme Spirit had been stolen and learned it was taken while clan members prepared to descend to the lower realm.
• Yu Qingzhu called the robbery an attack on Liba Beach’s reputation, while True Immortal Youshan insisted the Xiong Clan did not need assistance.
• Feng Jun took Yu Qingzhu back to the manor and summoned Liba Beach’s core members to discuss how to respond.
• Yun Buyao argued against intervening, while Liu Yiyi, Gao Qiang, Gazi, Red Sister, and Yu Qingzhu debated whether Liba Beach should protect customers and set rules beyond its trading grounds.
• Feng Jun said the group needed to weigh the pros and cons before deciding on rules, and Yun Buyao promised to carry out whatever they chose.

Feng Jun decided that Liba Beach would punish thieves who targeted its trading partners and offered a bounty for the Xiong Clan’s stolen Extreme Spirits. With Xuanyuan Buqi publicizing the theft, cultivators at Liba Beach rallied to help find the culprit.

• Yu Qingzhu argued that Liba Beach should bring more order to the area, and Feng Jun decided it would act against thieves targeting buyers of Virtual Battle Artifacts.
• Feng Jun asked True Immortal Youshan for details of the Xiong Clan’s theft and declared that Liba Beach would offer a bounty rather than send its own people.
• Feng Jun offered two Extreme Spirits for identifying the thief and five for capturing or killing the thief, deducted from the refining fee.
• Xuanyuan Buqi agreed to publicize the theft after jokingly demanding refunds for cultivators whose artifacts had already been refined.
• Cultivators at Liba Beach learned that fifteen Extreme Spirits had been stolen from the Xiong Clan and rallied behind Feng Jun’s effort to find the thief.

After the Xiong Clan’s Extreme Spirit was stolen, Feng Jun’s bounty drew Ji Wuqing and other cultivators into the search. The robbers eventually returned the Extreme Spirit, claiming their dispute was only with the Xiong Clan.

• The Xiong Clan explained that they had entered a deliberately placed formation on their way to the lower realm, where the Extreme Spirit was stolen.
• Ji Wuqing visited Xiong Youshan, pressed him for details, then apologized and joined the investigation with Ji Clan members.
• Yi Jue rebuked Ji Wuqing for speaking ill of Feng Jun, who continued preparing magic treasure components while bounty hunters searched for the robbers.
• Bounty hunters concluded that a small, skilled group had robbed the Xiong Clan, and the Grand Void Sect’s pursuers fought their way through demon beasts while tracking them.
• The robbers offered to return half the Extreme Spirit, but Feng Jun’s bounty demanded information about them or their capture.
• After learning that Liba Beach had issued the bounty, the robbers returned the Extreme Spirit and said their grudge was only with the Xiong Clan.

Feng Jun investigated the bandits after they robbed Liba Beach, but Qian Zhong and the Mirror Spirit warned that an unseen force could obscure divination and put him in danger. Qian Zhong agreed to investigate instead, while Xuanyuan Buqi offered to protect Feng Jun and Yi Jue if they went.

• Feng Jun continued hunting the bandits, insisting that Liba Beach’s reputation required them to be punished despite their apology.
• Grand Void Sect disciples asked Feng Jun or Yi Jue to divine the bandits’ whereabouts, offering to give up their bounty.
• Qian Zhong found that the bandits’ aura was hidden by an obscure force and warned Feng Jun not to go himself.
• The Mirror Spirit told Feng Jun that the danger was real and might come from a True Treasure or secret art that concealed the Heavenly Mechanism.
• Qian Zhong agreed to perform the divination in exchange for half an intervention opportunity toward the Soul Separation Pill Feng Jun had promised her.
• Xuanyuan Buqi objected to Qian Zhong receiving credit and offered to protect Feng Jun and Yi Jue if they went after the bandits.

After divinations revealed an unclear and ominous situation, Qian Zhong tracked the bandits to the Myriad Illusions Sect’s territory, where most pursuers hesitated to follow. She stayed nearby while the Xiong Clan, Grand Void Sect, and Golden Crow Sect prepared their own approaches to the pursuit.

• Qian Zhong warned that Feng Jun and Yi Jue were entangled in immense karma, and Yi Jue and Feng Jun failed to divine the danger clearly, so Feng Jun decided to decline Grand Void’s request.
• Yi Jue recommended Qian Zhong to the Grand Void disciples, and Qian Zhong traveled through the Heavenly Zither Upper Realm while hundreds of cultivators followed her.
• Qian Zhong traced the bandits to the Myriad Illusions Sect’s territory and publicly said she could not conveniently enter, prompting many clan teams to abandon the pursuit.
• Elder Youshan arranged for ten Xiong Clan disciples to enter the territory and gather information, while a Guan family also planned to send clansmen inside.
• Qian Zhong agreed to wait nearby but vanished from view, and Golden Crow Sect disciples later arrived in force, eager to hunt the bounty within the Myriad Illusions Sect’s territory.

Feng Jun, Yi Jue, and Xuanyuan Buqi went to the Amber Realm to watch the Sky Veil close and encountered upper-realm cultivators offering escort services. A clash between a Lianshan Society cultivator and a Nascent Soul High Stage cultivator from the Tongda Merchant Alliance ended with the latter demanding that Feng Jun and his companions identify themselves.

• Feng Jun learned through Divination that the Sky Veil would begin closing in half a day and invited Yi Jue and Xuanyuan Buqi to watch it.
• The three reached the Amber Realm, where Xuanyuan Buqi and Yi Jue discussed the Sky Veil while Feng Jun said they did not need to move closer.
• A group of flying boats approached, and a Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage cultivator offered paid escort services to the trio.
• Yi Jue rebuked a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator for belittling Feng Jun, and the intermediate-stage cultivator explained that he had come from the Lianshan Society to watch the Sky Veil and find business.
• A Nascent Soul High Stage cultivator attacked the Lianshan Society cultivator, then identified himself as belonging to the Tongda Merchant Alliance and demanded that Feng Jun and the others state their backgrounds.

As the Sky Veil closed, Yi Jue intervened when a masked cultivator tried to implicate her in a dispute over pills and Fairy Yu Rou. After revealing herself as an elder of the Spirit Plant Path, she claimed authority over the captive and began questioning him about the pills.

• Yi Jue and Xuanyuan Buqi moved closer to the Sky Veil after the Tongda cultivator and Lianshan Society members left.
• On the seventh day, a bloodied masked cultivator emerged from the Sky Veil, accused of stealing pills and injuring Fairy Yu Rou, and tossed the pills to Yi Jue while calling her Martial Aunt.
• Yi Jue caught the masked cultivator and revealed that she was Yi Jue, an Elder of the Spirit Plant Path, causing the attackers and nearby disciples to recognize her status.
• A Yuan Clan cultivator demanded that Yi Jue hand over the captive, but she refused, and a Spirit Plant Path disciple blocked a Yuan Clan cultivator's attack.
• Yi Jue warned the Yuan Clan cultivator and ordered the masked man to answer her questions, then asked him what had happened with the pills.

Yi Jue cleared the masked Zhao Family cultivator of wrongdoing after hearing how Yuan Yurou’s group had tried to claim his pills. Xuanyuan Buqi and Huo Xingyu then argued over the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill, while Feng Jun confronted Huo Xingyu for criticizing his Divine Thought.

• The masked man recounted how Yuan Yurou’s group had pursued him after demanding a share of the pills he found in the Sky Veil, and the group brought the unconscious, poisoned Yuan Yurou before Yi Jue.
• After questioning the witnesses, Yi Jue declared that the masked man had not been guilty during the exploration, and Feng Jun confirmed that the pills had not been switched.
• Feng Jun identified the pill to Yi Jue as a Nascent Soul Condensation Pill, which she considered unremarkable and did not intend to take.
• Xuanyuan Buqi claimed the pill for himself, while Huo Xingyu stepped forward and demanded it, revealing that he knew what it was but would not name it publicly.
• Huo Xingyu criticized Feng Jun’s Divine Thought, and Feng Jun snapped back that Huo Xingyu would have learned nothing about the pill if he had not come along.

Xuanyuan Buqi’s Nascent Soul Condensation Pill drew the attention of cultivators in the Amber Realm, and Yi Jue identified it despite their objections. The Yuan Clan’s True Immortal confronted Xuanyuan Buqi, demanding an explanation for taking the pill, and the chapter left their dispute unresolved.

• Huo Xingyu recognized the pill as a Nascent Soul Condensation Pill and said the one his family had owned was already used.
• Huo Xingyu stepped back, while the Yuan Clan cultivator and a Tongda Merchant Alliance cultivator sought to learn the pill’s identity and value.
• Yi Jue revealed that the pill was a Nascent Soul Condensation Pill and said she had no interest in intervening because Xuanyuan Buqi had taken it, not her.
• The Yuan Clan’s True Immortal argued that Yuan Yurou had been badly injured and challenged Xuanyuan Buqi to explain why he had taken a treasure from the Amber Realm.

Xuanyuan Buqi revealed that he was a Xuanyuan Clan Spirit Severing Great Lord after the Yuan Clan challenged him over taking the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill, and Feng Jun’s identity was exposed as well. After the Sky Veil closed, Guo Xiangding asked Buqi to sell the pill to the Guo Clan, but Buqi refused by claiming his own clan faced a shortage of Nascent Soul cultivators.

• The Yuan Clan True Immortal demanded an explanation from Xuanyuan Buqi, who revealed his Xuanyuan surname and corrected the man’s assumption about his cultivation rank.
• Yi Jue identified Buqi as Senior Buqi and exposed Feng Jun as the Feng Mountain Lord of the Kunhao Realm.
• Guo Xiangding arrived after the Sky Veil closed and greeted Xuanyuan Buqi as a relative by marriage.
• Guo Xiangding asked Xuanyuan Buqi to sell the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill to the Guo Clan.
• Xuanyuan Buqi refused, claiming the Xuanyuan Clan also needed the pill because too few of its cultivators had achieved Nascent Soul Formation.
