Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun and Huangfu Wuxia welcomed Sumiao to Pacify Arms Mountain, where she settled into a concealed, makeshift residence. Sumiao challenged Feng Jun over his rejection of Ji Busheng, and Feng Jun warned that he would leave rather than tolerate her treatment, prompting Lu Wanfeng to rebuke him.

• Lu Wanfeng told Feng Jun and Huangfu Wuxia that Sumiao had arrived secretly and asked them to meet her at a pavilion twenty li away.
• Feng Jun drove Huangfu Wuxia and Lu Wanfeng to the pavilion, where they greeted Sumiao and her companion before bringing them back to Pacify Arms Mountain.
• Lu Wanfeng set up an array near the mountain gate, and Sumiao released a simple Traveling Residence made up of three thatched huts and a small garden.
• Sumiao allowed Huangfu Wuxia and Feng Jun into the residence, then questioned Feng Jun's confidence and criticized him for rejecting Ji Busheng's recruitment.
• Feng Jun said he would leave and end their dealings if Sumiao kept treating him that way, and Lu Wanfeng called him insolent.

Sumiao investigated Feng Jun’s background and discovered a concealed cave on Pacify Arms Mountain, but accepted his explanation that he was practicing the Earth Vein Enhancement Art. She then placed her Traveling Residence near his courtyard, leaving Feng Jun to manage the powerful guest and keep others away.

• Sumiao used her Divine Sense on Feng Jun, sensed a spatial aura, and flew toward Pacify Arms Mountain after a second examination.
• Feng Jun followed Sumiao to a mountain peak, where she uncovered a hidden cave and questioned him about it.
• Feng Jun claimed the cave was part of his Earth Vein Enhancement Art, and Sumiao confirmed that the mountain’s Earth Vein had improved.
• Sumiao asked to stay on Pacify Arms Mountain, and Feng Jun allowed her to conceal her aura and place her Traveling Residence near his courtyard.
• Feng Jun told Lang Zhen to keep patrols away from the guest residence, while the families on the mountain speculated about its owner’s cultivation.

Feng Jun uncovered the truth behind True Adept Sumiao’s two companions and let Sumiao inspect his phone, which she broke before paying him with a rare pill. Sumiao then became curious about the phone’s writing and asked Feng Jun to teach her how to use it.

• Sumiao explored Pacify Arms Mountain with Kong Ziyi and asked Feng Jun whether Yun Buyao would join the Supreme Clarity Sect.
• Feng Jun realized the green-robed woman was Sumiao and the blue-robed Kong Ziyi could release a Golden Core-level aura, and he revealed his suspicion to them.
• Sumiao examined Feng Jun’s phone, accidentally crushed it, and compensated him with a Seven-Orifice Soul-Reviving Pill.
• Feng Jun produced a backup phone and refused to teach Sumiao its secrets unless she exchanged the Supreme Clarity Sect’s Earth Vein Arts.
• Sumiao recognized the phone’s altered writing, and Feng Jun praised her ability to read it.

Yan Xiaomo infiltrated Pacify Arms Mountain disguised as Tian Letao to assassinate Feng Jun, while Feng Jun spoke with True Adept Sumiao about divination and her interest in Yun Buyao. The conversation ended when Sumiao detected the disguised assassin hiding nearby.

• Yan Xiaomo used Soul Search on Tian Letao, disguised himself as him, and entered Pacify Arms Mountain to scout Feng Jun before attacking.
• While patrolling, Yan Xiaomo asked Thirteenth Brother about three new thatched huts and learned the Mountain Lord had ordered others to avoid inspecting the area.
• Feng Jun and True Adept Sumiao discussed his script, Yun Buyao’s cultivation method, and his use of divination.
• Kong Ziyi challenged Feng Jun for evading Sumiao’s questions, and Feng Jun suggested Sumiao had a reason for accepting only male disciples.
• Feng Jun claimed Sumiao lacked the judgment to understand her disciple’s problem, prompting her to demand an explanation.
• Sumiao sensed an Eighth Layer of Emergence from Dust assassin nearby and recognized that he was disguised.

Feng Jun tracked down Yan Xiaomo, an assassin sent to kill him, and attacked with Thunder Arts. As Yan Xiaomo tried to flee after Feng Jun broke his sword lock-on, the Mountain-River Seal struck him, and Sumiao recognized the technique as the Overturning Heaven Seal.

• Sumiao detected danger from Yan Xiaomo and told Feng Jun that the two targets were to the west.
• Feng Jun found Yan Xiaomo and Thirteenth Brother, then struck Yan Xiaomo with four lightning attacks.
• Yan Xiaomo revealed himself as an Emergence from Dust High Stage sword cultivator and launched a deadly sword strike at Feng Jun.
• Feng Jun evaded the sword lock-on with spatial power, replenished his spiritual energy, and attacked Yan Xiaomo with the Mountain-River Seal.
• Yan Xiaomo tried to flee, but the Mountain-River Seal hit him, and Sumiao identified it as the Overturning Heaven Seal.

Feng Jun captured Yan Xiaomo with help from Sumiao and forced him to reveal that Xue Jingxiang had hired him to assassinate Feng Jun and that he had killed Tian Letao. After Feng Jun handed Yan Xiaomo to the Tian Family, they beheaded him but returned to Feng Jun seeking help with the cultivator’s hidden wealth.

• Feng Jun knocked Yan Xiaomo down with the Mountain-River Seal and bound him with the Immortal-Binding Cord, while Sumiao restrained him before he could detonate his secondary life-bound sword.
• Sumiao slammed Yan Xiaomo into the ground, and Feng Jun sealed his dantian and took him toward the Blessing Courtyard.
• Kong Ziyi brought the Soul-Binding Tablet containing Heavenly Astral Qi, and Yan Xiaomo abandoned his resistance and confessed that Xue Jingxiang had hired him and that he had killed Tian Letao.
• Yan Xiaomo revealed that Xue Jingxiang was hiding near Giant Wood Market, and Feng Jun decided to hand Yan Xiaomo over to the Tian Family rather than kill him quickly.
• Feng Jun crippled Yan Xiaomo, had Elder Liao plant a gu in him, and let Kong Ziyi seal him with two talismans before the group delivered him to the Tian Family.
• The Tian Family recovered Tian Letao’s corpse after Yan Xiaomo revealed its location, beheaded Yan Xiaomo, and returned to Feng Jun for help recovering the wealth he had buried.

Feng Jun negotiated with Tian Yang Ni over Yan Xiaomo’s hidden wealth, then visited Sumiao and identified Kong Ziyi’s affliction as a chaos yin-yang curse. The chapter ended with Sumiao revealing that Kong Ziyi was her granddaughter.

• Tian Yang Ni told Feng Jun that Yan Xiaomo had hidden seven thousand Spirit Stones, magic artifacts, and cultivation techniques, and Feng Jun agreed to take the items while splitting the Spirit Stones and training one Tian Family member to Qi Refining.
• Feng Jun visited Sumiao to thank her for helping protect his companions and showed her the Mountain River Seal, which she examined and offered to buy if he ever sold it.
• Sumiao resumed questioning Feng Jun about why she could only accept male disciples, and he said she and Kong Ziyi had been afflicted by a chaos yin-yang curse.
• Kong Ziyi rejected Feng Jun’s explanation because she had never left the Kunhao Plane, while Sumiao also denied witnessing chaos’s birth and destruction.
• Sumiao finally revealed that Kong Ziyi was her granddaughter.

Feng Jun learned that Kong Ziyi was Sumiao’s granddaughter and helped the two understand the source of their family’s yin-yang imbalance. The chapter ended with Sumiao asking whether Feng Jun could resolve the curse affecting Kong Ziyi.

• Sumiao revealed that Kong Ziyi was her granddaughter and explained that she had concealed their relationship while raising her in the Supreme Clarity Sect.
• Sumiao told Feng Jun that she and Ji Busheng had encountered a Void Dark Tide in a nebula, conceived a daughter, and later lost both their daughter and son-in-law.
• Feng Jun and Sumiao reasoned that the yin-yang imbalance had originated with Sumiao and Ji Busheng, then passed through their daughter to Kong Ziyi.
• Sumiao asked Feng Jun directly whether he could resolve Kong Ziyi’s condition.

Feng Jun considered how fortune might suppress Kong Ziyi’s curse, arranged to study a phoenix crown, and declined to reveal how he chose cultivation techniques. He then traveled with the Deng brothers and Tian Lewen to retrieve Yan Xiaomo’s Storage Pouch, but spotted a faint white figure near its hiding place.

• Feng Jun asked Sumiao for an object of fortune to study, and she lent him her Supreme Clarity Sect elder's token.
• Sumiao explained that Supreme Clarity Sect's Merit Hall temporarily suppressed Kong Ziyi's condition, and she arranged for Wanfeng to borrow a phoenix crown for Feng Jun's research.
• Feng Jun warned Sumiao against using Donghua Kingdom's imperial jade seal and suggested that he first investigate how fortune affected the curse.
• Sumiao asked Feng Jun how he chose suitable cultivation techniques, but he refused to discuss his sect's secrets and said he would go to Xiyin City.
• Feng Jun traveled with the Deng brothers and Tian Lewen to retrieve Yan Xiaomo's Storage Pouch, then spotted a faint white figure on the wooded hillside.

Feng Jun ambushed Xue Jingxiang in the forest, but the Early Emergence from Dust cultivator escaped aboard a fast Flying Boat after losing an arm. Back at Pacify Arms Mountain, Feng Jun warned Red Sister and Good Scenery to cultivate only in the Blue Star Realm, then learned that honored guests had delivered a corpse and Storage Pouch.

• Feng Jun used the Mirage King Bracer to approach the white figure and identified him as an Emergence from Dust cultivator lying in wait.
• Feng Jun attacked Xue Jingxiang with the Mountain-River Seal, Falling Thunder Techniques, and Divine Sense strikes, then wounded him with his saber.
• Xue Jingxiang escaped on the Flashstar Boat after a Flash-Step Talisman saved him from Feng Jun's final attack, but he lost his left arm and vowed revenge.
• Feng Jun found Yan Xiaomo's Storage Pouch beneath a rock and gave it to Tian Lewen before flying back to Pacify Arms Mountain with the others.
• Sumiao collected soil bearing Xue Jingxiang's blood and began calculating after Feng Jun departed.
• Feng Jun told Red Sister and Good Scenery to cultivate only in the Blue Star Realm, and Lang Zhen reported that honored guests had sent a corpse and a Storage Pouch.

True Adept Sumiao killed Xue Jingxiang, and Feng Jun received his valuable Flashstar Boat before turning to choose a disciple from the Tian Family’s young people. He tested two hundred candidates with Immortal Ascension Mirrors, but neither mirror found a suitable prospect.

• True Adept Sumiao tracked Xue Jingxiang to his mountain hideout and killed him with a palm strike.
• Feng Jun inspected Xue Jingxiang’s Storage Pouch, kept the Flashstar Boat and Void Inscription Stones, and thanked True Adept Sumiao.
• Feng Jun checked Yan Xiaomo’s Storage Pouch with Shangguan Yunjin and let her copy the Ice Arrow Technique for five hundred Spirit Stones.
• The Tian Family gathered two hundred young descendants for Feng Jun to consider, prompting other families to challenge Tian Yang Ni’s claim that the opportunity belonged to the Tian Family.
• Feng Jun tested the candidates with the Supreme Clarity Sect’s Immortal Ascension Mirror and Jade Ruins’ mirror, but neither selected anyone.

Feng Jun continued testing the Tian Family’s juniors and found that Tian Wanjun had a chance to cultivate despite being over the age limit. He left the family wondering whether he would accept her, while Tian Yang Ni insisted she would never marry out.

• Feng Jun sent Liu Feifei and her younger brother away, telling Lang Zhen to teach his sons martial arts instead of pursuing immortal cultivation.
• Feng Jun asked the Tian Family to bring their remaining juniors for testing and dismissed people from other families who had joined the group.
• Feng Jun noticed that Tian Wanjun was twenty, and Tian Yang Ni explained that she had sworn to remain with the Tian Family rather than marry.
• Tian Yang Ni’s past dealings were revealed: Tian Wanjun’s betrothed had twice died before marriage, and she had refused to become a concubine to an elder of the Yangshan Gu Family.
• Feng Jun said Tian Wanjun had a thirty-percent chance of being moldable but regretted that she would eventually marry out, prompting Tian Yang Ni to insist she would never leave the Tian Family.

Feng Jun selected Tian Wanjun to train as the Tian Family’s candidate for reaching the Qi Refining Stage and explained her cultivation options. Tian Wanjun chose the more difficult Fleeting Life Weak Water, determined to pursue freedom and earn her advancement through her own effort.

• Feng Jun told Tian Wanjun she had been selected and gave her four years to reach the Qi Refining Stage.
• Sumiao revealed that Tian Wanjun possessed the Mysterious Female Physique, and Feng Jun discussed the strengths and risks of two suitable techniques with Kong Ziyi.
• Tian Wanjun returned three days later, and Feng Jun explained that the Harmony Union Manual offered far better odds of reaching the Qi Refining Stage within four years than Fleeting Life Weak Water.
• Tian Wanjun described her wish to live freely rather than remain trapped in a life she could foresee.
• Tian Wanjun chose Fleeting Life Weak Water because its greater difficulty would make success feel earned, and Feng Jun approved her decision.

Feng Jun tested how the Phoenix Crown and a county magistrate’s seal affected Kong Ziyi’s curse, finding that the fortune of the local plane suppressed it better than sect fortune. He concluded that curing her would require a dangerous, long-term plan and asked whether she could find Mid Emergence from Dust cultivators for him to experiment on.

• Tian Wanjun chose Fleeting Life Weak Water and received its Mortal Transcendence cultivation technique, while Feng Jun continued his Teleportation Array experiments.
• Sumiao showed Feng Jun the Phoenix Crown, and he took Kong Ziyi aside to test its effect on her curse.
• Feng Jun found that the Phoenix Crown suppressed more than half the curse and County Magistrate Han’s official seal also helped, while the Supreme Clarity Sect elder’s token had little effect.
• Feng Jun inferred that the curse came from the local plane and considered transporting Kong Ziyi to Blue Star, but judged the plan dangerous and uncertain.
• Kong Ziyi agreed to accept the risks of Feng Jun’s unconventional treatment, and he asked whether she could find several Mid Emergence from Dust cultivators for him to experiment on.

Feng Jun considered Kong Ziyi’s dangerous curse treatment and rejected gold as payment for the Yin Sha Sect’s latest order. When Nangong Youjiu forced his way toward Pacify Arms Mountain, Feng Jun had to protect Red Sister’s breakthrough, and someone offered to deal with the intruder.

• Kong Ziyi accepted the risks of Feng Jun’s treatment plan, while Feng Jun estimated he needed three to six months to refine it and said the Phoenix Crown would suppress her curse for about a year.
• Baili Adept of the Yin Sha Sect ordered one hundred thousand refrigerators and air conditioners, and Feng Jun insisted that the sect pay one hundred thousand Spirit Stones instead of gold.
• Red Sister chose to advance to the Sixth Layer of Mortal Transcendence at Pacify Arms Mountain, and Feng Jun stood guard while Tian Wanjun watched enviously.
• Feng Jun told Yun Buyao to make Nangong Youjiu wait two days, prompting Nangong Youjiu to threaten the mountain gate and charge into the air above Pacify Arms Mountain.
• Nangong Youjiu’s shout disrupted Red Sister’s aura, so Feng Jun steadied her with spiritual energy and faced the approaching intruder as an unknown speaker told him to leave Nangong Youjiu to them.

Kong Ziyi captured Nangong Youjiu after he barged into Pacify Arms Mountain, and he realized he had provoked a powerful figure from the Supreme Clarity Sect. Feng Jun confronted him over breaking the mountain’s rules, and their dispute remained unresolved when Kong Ziyi suggested Nangong Youjiu could provide Feng Jun with experimental materials.

• Nangong Youjiu rushed toward Feng Jun’s courtyard and was seized by Kong Ziyi after ignoring her warning to retreat.
• Kong Ziyi revealed her connection to Purple Cloud Peak, and Nangong Youjiu admitted he had been wrong to challenge her.
• Feng Jun confronted Nangong Youjiu about violating Pacify Arms Mountain’s rules and nearly disrupting his maid’s cultivation.
• Nangong Youjiu offered Spirit Stones, but Feng Jun challenged him to name what he was worth rather than accept a token payment.
• Kong Ziyi reminded Feng Jun that he needed experimental materials, and Nangong Youjiu volunteered to provide them.

Nangong Youjiu tried to appease Feng Jun after learning his experiment required Mid Emergence from Dust cultivators, but Feng Jun rejected his offers and demanded compensation for the trespass. The chapter ends with the woman in Qingyi suspecting that Nangong had barged in to investigate the secluded True Adept.

• Nangong Youjiu offered to provide materials for Feng Jun’s experiment, then panicked when Kong Ziyi explained that it required Mid Emergence from Dust cultivators who might die.
• Nangong Youjiu offered to become Feng Jun’s gate guard and promised to keep the experiment and the secluded True Adept’s whereabouts secret, but Feng Jun rejected his offers.
• Nangong Youjiu suggested recruiting a cultivator from the Huangfu Clan, and Feng Jun struck him down for trying to use a rival as a pawn.
• Feng Jun proposed that Nangong Youjiu make amends by leaving three Emergence from Dust cultivators who had trespassed at the mountain gate, and Nangong agreed to seek them.
• Nangong Youjiu admitted that his original business with Feng Jun was not important, prompting the woman in Qingyi to suspect he had come to probe for the secluded True Adept.

Nangong Youjiu failed to pressure Feng Jun into working with the Nangong Family, while Feng Jun guarded Red Sister as Tian Wanjun began to show signs of advancement. Huangfu Wuxia learned that the Orderless Plane faction supplying graphene had collapsed, and the Nangong Family had taken over its trade.

• Nangong Youjiu promised not to involve Feng Jun in the Nangong Family’s feud with the Huangfu Clan, but Feng Jun rejected his offer to replace the lost Orderless Plane trading channel.
• Kong Ziyi released Nangong Youjiu and ordered him to wait outside the mountain gate, where he requested guest rooms from Huangfu Wuxia.
• Tian Wanjun relaxed her worries and entered an unusual state as Red Sister continued advancing, so Feng Jun separated their auras and asked Good Scenery to watch over Tian Wanjun.
• Huangfu Wuxia learned that Hout had been killed, his faction had collapsed, and the faction’s stored graphene had been dug up and offered for trade.
• The Tiantong representatives on the Orderless Plane contacted the Kunhao Plane, and the Nangong Family took responsibility for the graphene trade.

Huangfu Wuxia told Feng Jun that the Nangong Family had taken control of the Graphene deal, and Feng Jun agreed to let Kong Ziyi deal with them. Ten days later, Ji Busheng intervened when Nanli Island’s cultivators attacked rogue cultivators and brought the captured fighters to Nanli Island, demanding that the Fu Clan head appear.

• Huangfu Wuxia explained that the Nangong Family had turned the Graphene trade into Tiantong’s business and was likely to demand information about Graphene.
• Kong Ziyi offered to capture Nangong Family cultivators for treatment experiments, and Feng Jun gave her permission to act.
• Ji Ping'an and his companions lured and killed a Blackback Flood Dragon near Blackwater Marsh, but Nanli Island’s cultivators tried to seize the beast and killed one of them.
• Ji Busheng blocked an attack on Ji Ping'an, defeated one Emergence from Dust Adept, and learned that the rogue cultivators had arranged the hunt to provoke the Nangong Family.
• Ji Busheng captured the two Early Emergence from Dust Adepts and brought the group to Nanli Island, where he demanded that the Fu Clan head come out.

Ji Busheng confronted the Fu Clan over its treatment of rogue cultivators, then faced Nangong Mad Lion when he intervened. Ji demanded three Mid Emergence from Dust cultivators and bluntly admitted he disliked the Nangong Family, leaving Nangong furious but without a clear path to oppose him.

• Ji Busheng challenged the Fu Clan head over his clan’s Emergence from Dust cultivators attacking Qi Refining Stage cultivators and demanded that its Mid Emergence from Dust cultivators come with him.
• When the Fu Clan head resisted, Ji Busheng revealed his identity and raised his ring to strike, but Ancestor Nangong stopped him with a blood-red banner.
• Ji Busheng rejected Nangong Mad Lion’s offer of fifty thousand Spirit Stones and demanded three Mid Emergence from Dust cultivators, citing the Fu Clan’s failure to recognize Feng Mountain Lord’s connection to Heavenheart Platform.
• Nangong Mad Lion agreed to provide the three cultivators and flew away with Ji Busheng to discuss the matter privately.
• After Ji Busheng left, the Fu Clan head ordered his fifth brother to handle the rogue cultivators and promised them compensation.
• Nangong Mad Lion asked whether the three cultivators would return alive, and Ji Busheng said he did not intend to kill anyone before admitting he simply disliked the Nangong Family.
