Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun explained to Lin Beauty that he had left the fourth submarine, along with its weapons and torpedoes, on a beach in Saro Nation to divert suspicion and provoke confusion between Saro Nation and Maireui Country. Lin Beauty accepted the logic behind his plan, though she remained frustrated that he had acted without consulting her.

• Crew Cut dismissed Feng Jun’s criticism and later belittled Lin Beauty, prompting Feng Jun to refuse to give Xia Nation all four submarines.
• Lin Beauty confronted Feng Jun about the missing submarine, and he revealed that he had left it on a Saro Nation beach rather than giving it to someone else.
• Feng Jun argued that the submarine’s unexplained appearance would draw Maireui Country’s attention and help Xia Nation avoid scrutiny.
• Lin Beauty objected that Feng Jun had acted alone, but he explained that leaving the weapons system and torpedoes aboard would make the incident more convincing.
• Lin Beauty recognized that the submarine could make Saro Nation appear responsible for the missing vessel or make Maireui Country’s actions look like extortion.

Feng Jun’s actions drove Salo Country and Mairui Country into a dangerous confrontation over a stranded submarine and missing Mairui soldiers. As Mairui’s CIA pressed Sophia to use her protective power to find the missing ships, she refused and challenged the agents’ threats.

• Navy Second Lieutenant Seryozha found a submarine stranded on a Salo beach, and Salo Country deployed forces and experts to secure and study it.
• Mairui Country accused Salo Country of attacking its fleet and demanded news of its missing soldiers, while Salo Country denied seeing any soldiers and claimed the submarine was a ghost ship.
• Mairui and Salo forces escalated their standoff, and attacks on Salo troops and an explosion that sank a Mairui destroyer intensified the crisis.
• Lin Beauty asked Feng Jun whether he had caused the destroyer explosion, and Feng Jun denied it.
• Mairui Country’s CIA asked Sophia to use her protective power to search for the missing ships, but she refused.
• A CIA agent threatened Sophia, and she asked whether he was threatening her.

Feng Jun went to Giant Wood Market to prepare for a voyage into the Endless Sea, but found that his talents and cultivation did not easily secure him a crew. He set up a stall offering real-time divination for sea voyages and refused to join the Hunting Alliance, then heard that the powerful organization might retaliate to protect its reputation.

• Feng Jun visited Giant Wood Market to learn about the Endless Sea and discovered that hunters needed a War Boat and a sea chart to survive.
• Feng Jun watched teams recruit specialists, realized his divination skills were not in demand, and set up his own stall offering divination for sea voyages.
• Interested groups questioned Feng Jun's identity, but he introduced himself as Shi Jie and refused to provide proof, so they left without hiring him.
• On the third day, Feng Jun refused an offer from a Hunting Alliance member, who glared at him before leaving.
• A neighboring diviner warned Feng Jun that the Hunting Alliance might retaliate, then claimed he had only been joking; Feng Jun suspected the warning was genuine.

Feng Jun joined True Adept Tian’s hunting party and set out aboard a War Boat bound for the Endless Sea. After four days of travel, the boat stopped at Bloodmist Island, a place Feng Jun had never heard of.

• Feng Jun agreed to join True Adept Tian’s hunting party without asking about its members’ identities or destination.
• Feng Jun boarded the rented War Boat, learned about its crew, passengers, costs, and strict safety rules, and set out with the hunting party.
• The War Boat entered the Endless Sea, where Feng Jun stayed in a shared room among the party’s outer-circle members.
• After traveling for three days, the War Boat reached Bloodmist Island, its last supply station, and Feng Jun wondered why he had never heard of it.

Feng Jun traveled aboard a warship through the Endless Sea, where the crew survived a Green-Headed Flying Gadfly swarm and then encountered Shadowless Countercurrent Astral Force. His divination accurately predicted when the warship would escape the swarm, drawing the hunting team’s attention to his abilities.

• Feng Jun learned from Adept Han and Wu Adept that Bloodmist Island had once been Heavenly Balance Island and discussed why travelers might visit it.
• The warship was surrounded by Green-Headed Flying Gadflies, and the captain endured their assault before activating the Fire Shield Formation and accelerating away.
• Feng Jun divined that the warship would escape the swarm in nineteen minutes, and the prediction proved accurate.
• The warship entered Shadowless Countercurrent Astral Force and miasma, so Feng Jun secured himself to his chair with a safety belt; the method spread through the ship.
• Di Adept questioned Feng Jun about his divination and explained that knowing when the swarm would end could have reduced the warship’s damage.

Feng Jun used Divination to guide the war boat through the Shadowless Countercurrent Astral Force, while Master Chang suspected that the diviner was the famous Feng Jun. The boat followed Feng Jun’s first instruction, but it shuddered violently as it entered the chosen course.

• Adept Di asked Feng Jun to divine a direction out of the Shadowless Countercurrent Astral Force, and Feng Jun agreed to help without giving up his share of the hunt.
• Feng Jun asked the boat Boss and Adept Di to trust his directions completely and not slow the war boat, then began Divination.
• Master Chang recognized Feng Jun’s distinctive Divination method but concealed his suspicions because of Feng Jun’s enemies, the Ten Directions Platform and the Yin Sha Sect.
• Feng Jun ordered the boat Boss to turn right forty-two degrees, and the boat Boss changed course despite his doubts.
• The war boat shuddered repeatedly as it plunged into the astral winds along Feng Jun’s chosen direction.

After Feng Jun guided the warship through the Shadowless Counterflow Force and around a Seven-Linked Vortex, his warning led the crew to stop before entering the territory of Thunder Rays. The hunting team went out to fight the valuable Wild Beasts, but the Thunder Rays ambushed them with a barrage of lightning.

• Feng Jun directed the captain through the Seven-Linked Vortex, and the warship emerged safely much closer to its destination.
• The captain slowed the damaged warship for repairs, and Water Gurglers attacked it with water arrows.
• Feng Jun sensed danger ahead and advised the captain to stop rather than risk continuing.
• A Thunder Ray struck the stationary warship with lightning, revealing the beasts’ territory.
• Three hunting-team Adepts with lightning-resistant gear rushed out, and seven or eight Thunder Rays attacked them with lightning.

Feng Jun searched the waters near the battle with the Thunder Rays and discovered a concealed Broadback Python that attacked him with divine sense. Unable to reach it on the deep seabed, he tried to lure or strike it with bait and an iron anchor, provoking it into a soundwave attack.

• Feng Jun left the main battle and searched the surrounding waters while other cultivators hunted Ironhide Crabs and Phantom Shells.
• A hidden Wild Beast struck Feng Jun with a divine-sense attack, so he put on a protective crown and used the Soul-Suppressing Bell to locate it.
• Feng Jun identified the attacker as a camouflaged Broadback Python concealed on the seabed more than two thousand meters below.
• Feng Jun lowered Azureback Ox meat attached to an iron anchor and repeatedly dropped it toward the python, hitting it twice without causing serious harm.
• The enraged Broadback Python opened its mouth and launched a powerful soundwave attack at Feng Jun.

Feng Jun lured the Broadback Python within reach and captured it with the Life-Cage Folding Fan just as two Emergence from Dust Adepts arrived. He rebuked them for coveting his prey, and one of their companions recognized the method as Life Cage, Death Prison before being knocked unconscious.

• The Broadback Python fired a Sound-Wave Bullet at Feng Jun, who evaded it and answered with the Soul-Suppressing Bell.
• Feng Jun and the Broadback Python traded roars as the nearby cultivators heard their cries and rushed toward them.
• Two Emergence from Dust Adepts arrived with five cultivators and offered to help Feng Jun, but he told them to leave.
• Feng Jun captured the charging Broadback Python with the Life-Cage Folding Fan, then warned the two Adepts not to covet his prey.
• A High Qi Condensation cultivator identified Feng Jun's technique as Life Cage, Death Prison, and the Mid Emergence from Dust Adept struck him unconscious.

Feng Jun agreed to help three Qi Refining Stage cultivators kill a pair of Spirit-Eater Sharks in exchange for the chance to claim whatever treasure the sharks guarded. The underwater battle began, and the cultivators’ powerful but slow, unguided formation attack proved useful in disrupting the sharks’ coordination.

• A Mid Emergence from Dust cultivator knocked out his junior kinsman after the man exposed Feng Jun’s Life Cage, Death Prison, then gave Feng Jun half the Ironhide Crabs.
• Feng Jun found Blueglow Jellyfish, traveled farther from the warship to hunt, and later learned that two Spirit-Eater Sharks were circling a coral reef.
• The three Qi Refining Stage cultivators asked Feng Jun to help defeat the sharks, offering him the treasure they might be guarding while keeping the sharks for themselves.
• Feng Jun accepted and promised the cultivators both sharks, then followed them to the reef and confirmed there was no ambush.
• Feng Jun fought the two sharks underwater while the cultivators restrained one and used their formation to wound and disrupt the beasts, though its attacks required ten minutes to recharge and could not lock onto targets.

Feng Jun and the three cultivators killed a pair of Spirit-Eater Sharks and recovered their treasure while two Emergence from Dust Adepts watched. He warned the group that people who tried to kill him for treasure would die, then claimed he had killed Golden Cores before; the chapter ended as fireworks appeared in the sky.

• Feng Jun helped the three Qi Refining Stage cultivators kill the Spirit-Eater Sharks, then ordered them to store the second one while he searched underwater for treasure.
• The four-person group led by two Emergence from Dust Adepts returned, and Feng Jun warned them that the three cultivators were under his protection.
• The cultivators discussed the shark treasure and Feng Jun's strength, while he told them to keep his gains secret to avoid provoking people into killing for treasure.
• Feng Jun clarified that attackers would die rather than him and claimed he had killed Golden Cores, leaving the others speechless.
• A burst of dazzling fireworks appeared in the distant sky.

Feng Jun helped the hunting party assess the threat of a Gloomrain Dugong, and True Person Chang’s Sulfur Fire Essence drove it away before the warship proceeded safely. At the coral-reef hunting grounds, the party offered high prices for local Crystal Coral and Hornfish eggs, hinting that the coral had a special use.

• Feng Jun returned to the warship with the others after an emergency assembly order and learned that a Gloomrain Dugong was approaching.
• Feng Jun deduced that True Person Chang’s Sulfur Fire Essence could repel the dugong, and the party chose to wait rather than confront it.
• Feng Jun refused to sell Senior Di a Millennium Emperor Coral Twin Fruit, which he said could help him advance his cultivation.
• Ten hours after the warship’s repairs were completed, Feng Jun said the danger had passed, and the warship traveled safely to a coral-reef hunting ground.
• The hunting party offered to buy Crystal Coral and Hornfish eggs without limit, warned against passing off coral from elsewhere, and implied that the local Crystal Coral had a special secret.

The hunting party returned from the Endless Sea after gathering supplies and fighting several Golden Core demon beasts, stopping at Bloodmist Island to trade and rest. There, Meng Xiaotian of the Hunting Alliance sought to take Feng Jun away, and True Person Chang decided the party would not protect him beyond bringing him safely to land.

• The hunting party ended its twelve-day expedition after the Azure-Scaled Flood Dragon injured and killed several people, then encountered and killed a Black Turtle on the return voyage.
• Feng Jun kept watch during the Black Turtle battle after True Person Chang promised him a front leg as his share, and he received it when Chang killed the beast.
• The warship reached Bloodmist Island, where Feng Jun bought two directional compasses and paid to have his Blueglow Jellyfish safely processed.
• Meng Xiaotian of the Hunting Alliance requested an audience and said he wanted to take Feng Jun away because Feng Jun had refused the Alliance's recruitment.
• Senior Lanshan asked True Person Chang whether the hunting party would protect Feng Jun, and Chang said they owed him nothing beyond bringing him back to land.

Feng Jun’s Clan Alliance escort was intercepted by Meng Xiaotian’s War Boat, and the Hunting Alliance demanded that Feng Jun surrender before reaching the mainland. After Adept Tian killed a cultivator who defended Feng Jun, Feng Jun left the escort to confront Meng Xiaotian, who claimed resistance was futile because True Adepts were aboard.

• Master Chang and Adept Lanshan warned Feng Jun that Meng Xiaotian intended to harm him, but said they could only take him to Coastal Market.
• Meng Xiaotian’s War Boat caught up with Feng Jun’s escort and fired a Blazing Flame Bullet as a warning, then demanded that the escort hand Feng Jun over.
• Adept Di killed High Qi Condensation Cultivator A for speaking up in Feng Jun’s defense, enraging Feng Jun, who called him Old Tian and condemned him as his clan’s sinner.
• Feng Jun left the escort and faced Meng Xiaotian, who asked whether he regretted refusing the Hunting Alliance’s invitation; both said they had no regrets.
• Meng Xiaotian invited Feng Jun aboard his War Boat and threatened to place restrictions on him, but Feng Jun questioned why resistance would be futile.

Feng Jun took control of the Hunting Alliance's War Boat by transporting it to the Blue Star Realm, then struggled to steer it safely into space. After stabilizing the vessel, he discovered that Liu Yiyi had survived aboard it.

• Meng Xiaotian restricted Feng Jun and brought him aboard the Hunting Alliance's War Boat, where he questioned Feng Jun about reinforcements in Coastal Market.
• Feng Jun knocked Meng Xiaotian unconscious and transported the War Boat into the Blue Star Realm after Lanshan's vessel had left.
• Feng Jun brought the War Boat to Straga, where its momentum sent it hurtling through the atmosphere and sparked alarm among authorities in Mairui Country, Saro Nation, and Xia Nation.
• Feng Jun restarted the War Boat, activated its Defensive Formation, and steered it toward outer space before it could crash.
• Feng Jun checked Nearby People on his phone and discovered that Liu Yiyi, a High Qi Condensation cultivator with the space attribute, had survived aboard the War Boat.

Feng Jun took control of the War Boat after arriving in the Blue Star Realm, while Liu Yiyi woke to find herself the only other survivor aboard. As the craft vanished from public view, Feng Jun questioned Liu Yiyi about her alliances, and she begged him to spare her.

• Liu Yiyi awoke aboard the War Boat and found everyone dead except herself and Feng Jun, who had incapacitated her and begun searching the vessel.
• Feng Jun collected hundreds of storage items and found evidence that many of the dead belonged to the Rogue Cultivators Alliance.
• Observers across the Blue Star Realm tracked the War Boat, and public speculation about aliens spread before the craft disappeared behind Venus's shadow.
• Feng Jun discovered that the Spirit Beasts aboard had died, then questioned Liu Yiyi about whether she belonged to the Rogue Cultivators Alliance or the Hunting Alliance.
• Liu Yiyi claimed her granduncle was Liu True Adept and offered to sign a slavery contract, but Feng Jun demanded that she answer his question truthfully.

Liu Yiyi explained that the Rogue Cultivators Alliance had infiltrated and undermined the Hunting Alliance, using Meng Xiaotian and a rented War Boat to provoke conflict and lure Feng Jun into their schemes. When Feng Jun pressed her about what they planned to do with him, she finally admitted that they had intended to kill him.

• Feng Jun questioned Liu Yiyi about her ties to the Rogue Cultivators Alliance and her connection to Meng Xiaotian and Jiao True Person.

• Liu Yiyi broke down and told Feng Jun that they had intended to kill him.

Feng Jun escaped the warship and returned to Luohua Manor after learning that Meng Xiaotian wanted him dead to intimidate those who refused the Hunting Alliance. Back at the manor, he reunited with Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui, then summoned Gazi to ask about his new relationship.

• Feng Jun learned from Liu Yiyi that Meng Xiaotian intended to kill him as a warning to people who defied the Hunting Alliance, then knocked her unconscious and stored her in a Spirit Beast Bag.
• Feng Jun slowed the warship by firing water arrows into space, used Footprints to reach a remote mountain, stored the warship, and escaped with Teleportation Talismans before Emergence from Dust Adepts arrived.
• Feng Jun returned to Luohua Manor and found Yang Yuxin cultivating with Gu Jiahui, who had advanced to the Eighth Layer of Mortal Transcendence.
• Yang Yuxin asked Feng Jun about the aircraft, and he admitted taking it while warning her not to reveal that it was his.
• Yang Yuxin told Feng Jun that Gazi seemed to be in love, so Feng Jun summoned Gazi and asked him about his girlfriend.

Gazi told Feng Jun how he met Luo Yuhuan and fell for her, prompting Feng Jun to bring her in for an assessment. Feng Jun then confronted Lin Beauty over her department targeting Gazi, threatened to halve its cancer-care slots, and left Luo Yuhuan in tears as she began explaining herself.

• Gazi explained that a blind date introduced him to Luo Yuhuan, whose resemblance to his childhood friend Niuniu made him fall for her.
• After hearing that Gazi had offered Luo Yuhuan valuable gifts and land, Feng Jun told him to bring her over so he could assess her.

• Feng Jun accused Lin Beauty's people of targeting his brother and threatened to halve their cancer-care slots.
• Lin Beauty blamed Luo Yuhuan for her department's actions, and Luo Yuhuan tearfully insisted she had been wronged.

• Luo Yuhuan explained that her department had sent her to Gazi after the CIA of Mairui Country targeted Liu Tingting in Kana Country.
• Gazi told Luo Yuhuan to leave Yang City and Yunyuan, but he chased after her when Lin Beauty pointed out that she was a recent university graduate.
• Feng Jun said he would not hold Luo Yuhuan's deception against her if she was sincere and Gazi liked her.
• Gazi persuaded Luo Yuhuan to date him and promised not to teach her anything without Feng Jun's approval.
• Gazi said Luo Yuhuan would send him information about Liu Tingting, including records of her two abortions, and Feng Jun warned Lin Beauty there would be no second time.
