Chapter Summaries

After transferring ten million tons of crude oil, Feng Jun brought Tang Wenji to Azure Mountain to prepare for her Innate Realm advancement, supporting her choice despite his concerns about her loyalty to Azure Mountain. Azure Mountain publicized the attempt to the Daoist Order, whose members questioned whether she could succeed and worried she was rushing into danger.

• Feng Jun completed the transfer of ten million tons of crude oil in seven days, just as Tang Wenji sensed she was ready to advance to the Innate Realm.
• Tang Wenji chose to prove the Innate Realm at Azure Mountain, and Feng Jun agreed to support her and lend her his Traveling Residence.
• At Azure Mountain, Feng Jun told Tang Wenji that he had killed Golden Core cultivators and revealed that he had encountered powerful cultivators in another space.
• Azure Mountain announced Tang Wenji's planned advancement and invited members of the Daoist Order to witness it.
• Jade Sect Mountain encouraged its fellow Daoists to attend, while Daoists debated whether Tang Wenji could succeed and whether Azure Mountain was acting recklessly.

Feng Jun used a Wind-and-Rain Formation to shield Tang Wenji’s breakthrough attempt from satellites and drones as observers waited outside the Traveling Residence. After a storm raged for hours, a muffled thump sounded, and a figure shot into the sky.

• Daoist Orders, martial sects, and Buddhist groups sent representatives to witness Tang Wenji’s attempt to enter the Innate Realm, while Tang Wangsun restricted their access to the Traveling Residence.
• Feng Jun brought Luohua Manor protectors to Azure Mountain, and authorities blocked out-of-town tourists while monitoring the area for foreign intelligence agents.
• After fifteen days, Feng Jun told Tang Wenji to break through when rain fell, then used a Wind-and-Rain Formation to cover the Blessing Courtyard in clouds and storm.
• Feng Jun weakened the storm after five hours to prevent flooding, while Dong Zenghong and Zhang Dongyuan watched the Traveling Residence from the permitted boundary.
• A muffled thump sounded from the Traveling Residence, and a figure shot into the sky.

Tang Wenji entered the Innate Realm and demonstrated the Sky-Treading Path above Azure Mountain, drawing a crowd and a would-be disciple. Feng Jun secretly captured a gunman who fired at Tang Wenji, while Sister Zhang investigated the incident.

• Tang Wenji rose into the air while meditating, and Zhang Dongyuan and Tang Wangsun recognized her Sky-Treading Path as a sign of her Innate Realm breakthrough.
• Tang Wenji remained suspended above the Traveling Residence for nearly five minutes as visitors gathered, and a fleeting white shadow streaked past her through the rain.
• An eager young man signed Azure Mountain's liability waiver and asked Tang Wenji to accept him as a disciple, but Zhang Caixin threatened him with a lightning strike and drove him away.
• Feng Jun spotted a gunman in the crowd and took him away after he fired at Tang Wenji, intending to handle the matter himself rather than let officials bargain over the culprit.
• After the rain stopped, Sister Zhang told others that they had not noticed the gunshot and could not provide details about what had happened.

After learning that the Overseas Wanderers Society and the Ma irui Country CIA had arranged a Barrett attack on Tang Wenji, Feng Jun captured the sniper and returned to Azure Mountain to guard her. Tang Wangsun and an official surnamed Xu learned what Feng Jun had uncovered, while Xu suggested the attack was retaliation for Feng Jun’s actions in Mud Country.

• Feng Jun used a Soul-Search Talisman on the captured sniper and learned that the Overseas Wanderers Society had carried out the attack with CIA-provided Barrett rifles.
• Feng Jun returned to Azure Mountain, warned Zhang Caixin and the others about the threat, and decided to stay while Tang Wenji consolidated her new realm.
• Tang Wangsun visited Tang Wenji and learned that Feng Jun had captured a Mud Country assassin and identified the people behind the attack through Soul Search.
• Tang Wangsun brought a middle-aged man surnamed Xu to speak with Feng Jun, who told him that the Overseas Wanderers Society had used a Barrett supplied by the CIA.
• Xu remarked that the Barrett attack appeared to be retaliation for Feng Jun’s killings in Mud Country, while Feng Jun denied the accusation for lack of evidence.

Feng Jun negotiated with Old Xu over the captured assassin and the Barrett, then confirmed that Tang Wenji would leave Azure Mountain for Luo Hua after becoming an Innate Expert. The chapter ended with Tang Wangsun accepting that Luo Hua could better protect his daughter’s future from being requisitioned.

• Feng Jun told Old Xu that the assassin had become an idiot after he removed a poison tooth and remotely controlled bomb, but refused to share intelligence he planned to use for revenge.
• Old Xu asked Feng Jun to hand over the assassin and the Barrett; Feng Jun agreed to the Barrett and advised him to investigate the Mairui and Mud transport route.
• Feng Jun conjured the Barrett and a wooden box, stunning Old Xu, who took the weapon and urged Feng Jun to kill the assassin.
• Old Xu asked whether Tang Wenji could fly now that she was an Innate Expert, and Feng Jun said she belonged to Luo Hua rather than Azure Mountain.
• Tang Wangsun protested that Azure Mountain would lose its first Innate Martial Cultivator in five hundred years, while secretly signaling that he wanted Feng Jun to take Wenji away.
• Tang Wangsun accepted that Wenji would affiliate with Luo Hua, which could shield her from repeated requisition and give her room to cultivate.

Feng Jun insisted that Tang Wenji join Luo Hua after her breakthrough, while Tang Wangsun put on an angry show for Azure Mountain’s followers. After Tang Wenji stabilized her Innate Realm cultivation, Feng Jun discussed cultivation with visitors and declined to help Allure Mountain restore its lost inheritance for now.

• Tang Wangsun feigned anger over Tang Wenji joining Luo Hua, and Feng Jun insisted that Luo Hua’s support had enabled her breakthrough and that she had already agreed to join.
• Tang Wenji spent five days stabilizing her cultivation in the Traveling Residence, then emerged and was escorted back to the Daoist Temple by Azure Mountain’s disciples and Luo Hua’s protectors.
• Zhang Caixin intimidated grumbling visitors while Tang Wenji’s supporters gathered around her, and Azure Mountain scheduled an Innate Realm celebration for three days later.
• Dong Zenghong and Zhang Dongyuan visited Feng Jun to ask about Innate Realm cultivation and Allure Mountain’s lost method for breaking through to that realm.
• Feng Jun explained that he had entered the Innate Realm through Martial Cultivation before learning Dao Arts, but declined to help restore Allure Mountain’s inheritance and urged them to focus on their current cultivation level.

Zhang Dongyuan and Dong Zenghong searched for a way to persuade Feng Jun to help Allure Mountain complete its cultivation method, while discussing the overseas Daoist Temple in the Leo Kingdom. At Tang Wenji’s Innate Realm celebration, Gazi claimed that he and Gao Qiang would soon follow Feng Jun and Tang Wenji into the Innate Realm, and Tang Wenji refused to demonstrate Treading the Void.

• Feng Jun refused Zhang Dongyuan’s request to complete Allure Mountain’s cultivation method, citing the difficulty and karmic consequences.
• Dong Zenghong suggested that Zhang Dongyuan investigate the Daoist Temple in the Leo Kingdom, and they learned Sophia had chosen its site based on a feng shui recommendation.
• Zhang Dongyuan speculated that building an overseas Daoist Temple might win Feng Jun’s favor and began making arrangements.
• Tang Wenji’s Innate Realm celebration proceeded without Feng Jun, while Zhang Caixin attended with Gao Qiang and Gazi as guards.
• Gazi told Azure Firmament Master that Feng Jun was the first Innate Expert, Tang Wenji the second, and he and Gao Qiang would be the third and fourth.
• Tang Wenji rejected an elder’s request to demonstrate Treading the Void, saying the request insulted an Innate Expert.

Tang Wenji celebrated her breakthrough into the Innate Realm as Jade Ruins offered her the Fish Intestine Sword to appease her, while Feng Jun checked on his spirit-stone mining operation. The chapter ended with Zhang Caixin explaining that Luo Hua had reclaimed the Traveling Residence after Tang Wenji completed her breakthrough.

• Tang Wenji ordered Yu Baiyi turned away, but he left the Fish Intestine Sword as Jade Ruins' congratulatory gift and departed.
• Daoist Qiu explained that Jade Ruins feared Tang Wenji's revenge now that she had become an Innate Expert, and Tang Wenji insisted she could take what she wanted herself.
• Feng Jun inspected the mining operation in the Leo Kingdom, where sixty-two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones had yielded tens of thousands of Ordinary Spirit Stones but no Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua while the people at Azure Mountain celebrated Tang Wenji's breakthrough.
• The man surnamed Xu discovered that the Traveling Residence had vanished, and Zhang Caixin told him Luo Hua had taken back the courtyard it had lent Tang Wenji for her breakthrough.

Tang Wenji agreed to help secure Azure Mountain’s hosting of the first Dragon Gate Assembly before returning to Luo Hua, delaying Zhang Caixin and the others’ departure. Feng Jun put his oil plans on hold and tracked down a CIA-linked operative, ending the chapter as he confronted the agent on a video call.

• Zhang Caixin told Xu that the Traveling Residence could be put away, and Tang Wenji asked to stay two more days to rally support for Azure Mountain’s bid to host the Dragon Gate Assembly.
• Tang Wangsun persuaded Tang Wenji to prioritize Azure Mountain’s future, and she agreed to keep seeking support despite plans to join Luo Hua.
• Zhang Caixin and the others delayed their return, so Feng Jun postponed transporting crude oil and decided to investigate the Overseas Wanderers Society’s role in the assassination attempt.
• Feng Jun Soul Searched a CIA auxiliary operative in Hong Kong-Kowloon, learned about a second agent, and used the operative’s phone to start a video call.
• Feng Jun confronted the second agent, Mr. Albert, and asked whether he had returned to Mairui Country.

Albert fled after Feng Jun warned him that they would meet again, while Feng Jun used the threat to keep the CIA distracted. He then flew openly from Mairui Country to Bilu, where he planned to strike the Overseas Wanderers Society.

• Feng Jun called Albert, confirmed his identity, and warned that they would meet again before ending the call.
• Albert believed Paul had been captured or killed and fled, warning his colleagues while choosing not to alert the Overseas Wanderers Society.
• Feng Jun intended to draw the CIA's attention away from his plans to attack the Overseas Wanderers Society's stronghold in Bilu.
• After sending Albert the call, Feng Jun followed the Footprint to Mairui Country and flew south toward Bilu in the Flashstar Boat.
• Mairui observers detected an unidentified flying object but did not treat it as important, allowing Feng Jun to continue toward Bilu.

Feng Jun sought help investigating the Overseas Wanderers Society in Bilu and persuaded Ma Sanniang to use Soul-Search Talismans on his captives. Ma Sanniang agreed to help with the search, but she could not leave Fugu Mountain, so Feng Jun had to bring the captives to her.

• Feng Jun captured more than ten people in Lima City, then learned that the Overseas Wanderers Society had over two thousand members among Bilu's Mud descendants.
• After using two Soul Searches, Feng Jun realized he had only one remaining and traveled to Fugu Mountain to ask Ma Sanniang for help.
• Ma Sanniang negotiated for Spirit Stones and Soul-Search Talismans before learning that Feng Jun's targets were Mud people from the Overseas Wanderers Society.
• Ma Sanniang agreed to search the captives' souls for one Spirit Stone per person because Mud people had once raided Fugu Mountain and stolen its treasures.
• Ma Sanniang declined to travel overseas because she could not leave her flower basket, and told Feng Jun to bring the captives to Fugu Mountain.

Feng Jun and Ma Sanniang used Soul-Search Talismans to question captives and uncover the Overseas Wanderers Society’s records keeper, with Soul-Nourishing Liquid helping Ma Sanniang recover. Afterward, Ma Sanniang urged Guan Shanyue to recruit more attractive disciples, hoping to gain access to Feng Jun’s many treasures.

• Ma Sanniang performed Soul Searches on several captives, using Feng Jun’s Soul-Nourishing Liquid to recover between searches.
• Ma Sanniang identified a Society official who managed the Overseas Wanderers Society’s files, and Feng Jun left to bring him back.
• Feng Jun returned two hours later, and Ma Sanniang searched the official, obtaining useful information about the society.
• Feng Jun paid Ma Sanniang eighteen Spirit Stones and gave her the remaining Soul-Nourishing Liquid, but declined her request for a Spirit Beast Bag.
• After Guan Shanyue returned to Fugu Mountain, Ma Sanniang told her to recruit more pretty disciples because Feng Jun possessed so many valuable things.

Ma Sanniang explained Luo Hua’s strength to Guan Shanyue while Feng Jun prepared to retaliate against the Overseas Wanderers Society in Bilu. After Feng Jun set a Curse Formation near the Dongyu-Tianwan border, the society was thrown into chaos by disappearances and the discovery of an assassin left mentally incapacitated.

• Ma Sanniang told Guan Shanyue about Feng Jun’s resources and revealed that she had helped him perform Soul Searches on members of the Overseas Wanderers Society.
• Feng Jun copied information on more than 2,800 society members in Bilu and found records of over 20,000 members in Ba Country, but decided to target Bilu first.
• Feng Jun gathered the targets’ personal effects and set up a concealed Curse Formation on the Dongyu-Tianwan border.
• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua after five days as Zhang Caixin and the others returned, while more than a dozen Bilu society members had disappeared.
• The Overseas Wanderers Society discovered that the assassin Feng Jun had left outside Isoroku Yamamoto’s home had become an idiot.

Feng Jun’s Curse Formation caused a wave of serious illnesses among the elderly members of the Bilu Overseas Wanderers Society, throwing Mud descendants into panic and flight. Rumors of an unknown virus spread through Bilu and reached the Xia-descendant community, whose members sought answers from Xia Nation’s embassy.

• The Overseas Wanderers Society accused the CIA of supplying the weapons used in the disappearances, but the CIA denied responsibility and drove them away.
• After two society members suffered heart attacks, Feng Jun’s Curse Formation triggered worsening illnesses among the group, including cancer, diabetes, depression, and transplant rejection.
• Within five or six days, nearly a hundred society members had fallen ill, and many Mud descendants began leaving Bilu.
• Mud descendants’ departures and vague claims about an unknown virus fueled rumors online and caused panic among Bilu’s residents.
• Xia descendants flocked to Xia Nation’s embassy to ask about the alleged virus, and embassy staff said they knew nothing about it.

The embassy’s response to the Biluo Virus rumors reassured Xia people while panic among Mud descendants opened the way for Xia businesses to enter their industries. Back at Luo Hua, Feng Jun settled Tang Wenji in as a permanent resident, but she became unhappy when Zhang Caixin and the others disappeared.

• Xia’s embassy announced that genetic analysis found the Biluo Virus could not affect Xia people, and it identified Yang City’s Cancer Care Center as the authority behind the assessment.
• Rumors spread that Luo Hua had released a virus targeting Mud people, while the Overseas Department encouraged Xia people in Bilu to take advantage of the Mud descendant withdrawal wave.
• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua and arranged a room, patrol duties, access to the Daoist Order’s collection, two Teleportation Array Discs, and two Treasure Weapons for Tang Wenji.
• Tang Wenji tried to leave Luo Hua but returned after martial artists surrounded her, hoping for her guidance or a chance to challenge her.
• After another day, Tang Wenji asked Feng Jun where Zhang Caixin and the other two had gone.

Feng Jun told Tang Wenji to learn Spirit Realm Language while keeping watch on Sophia, then attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Dou Jiahui’s Lighting Factory in Yunyuan. At the site, Feng Jun confronted Yang, who had tried to buy the project, and warned him that he would die within three days.

• Feng Jun explained to Tang Wenji that Red Sister and Teacher Mei had gone somewhere unsuitable for her and urged her to learn Spirit Realm Language and watch Sophia.
• Feng Jun traveled to Yunyuan with Gazi and Wang Haifeng, where Dou Jiahui discussed the factory project and a man who had tried to buy it for ten million.
• Feng Jun declined to join the ribbon-cutting, and Wang Haifeng represented him at the Lighting Factory’s groundbreaking ceremony.
• Gazi identified Yang as the man who had tried to buy the project and confronted him at the ceremony.
• Feng Jun told Yang that his face showed he would not live past three days, while Gazi warned the two women accompanying Yang to leave.

Gazi and Lu Xiaoning threatened Yang after he tried to intimidate Dou Jiahui’s factory, and Wang Haifeng warned Yang’s companions to leave. Yang ignored the warnings, and after his van’s brakes failed on the mountain road, Tang Wenji decided he could no longer be spared; the stranded men set off on foot together.

• Luo Yuhuan called someone as Lu Xiaoning and Gazi threatened Yang for provoking them and targeting the factory.
• Yang, Little Wang, and the two women hurried to leave, but Wang Haifeng warned the women that Yang and Little Wang would not survive three days.
• Yang and Little Wang drove away that afternoon, but the van’s brake line leaked and the driver narrowly stopped a crash; Yang still vowed revenge on Feng Jun.
• Tang Wenji overheard Yang’s threat and concluded that he deserved to die, despite the Little Celestial Master’s earlier doubts.
• The stranded men failed to flag down help in the rain, and when the driver tried to walk downhill for assistance, Yang and Little Wang insisted on going with him.

Tang Wenji arranged a deadly rockslide that killed Little Yang and Little Wang, while their boss learned that Feng Jun was far more dangerous and influential than he had assumed. The boss flew to Yunyuan to apologize to Dou Jiahui, who promised to tell Feng Jun, but the visitor remained uneasy.

• Tang Wenji caused rocks to strike Little Yang and Little Wang, killing them, while the driver survived by hiding.
• After Little Yang's death, the boss learned Feng Jun had attended the groundbreaking ceremony and ordered an investigation into the rockslide.
• The boss's contact warned him that Feng Jun was protected by powerful departments and advised him to settle the dispute by compensating Dou Jiahui.
• The boss heard that Feng Jun's circle could target families and was told that the deaths were no excuse to avoid repaying what he had tried to take.
• The boss flew to Yunyuan and apologized to Dou Jiahui, who said he would tell Feng Jun, though the boss remained restless and unconvinced.

Dou Jiahui turned a tense encounter with a financial tycoon into a deal for a three-hundred-million advance against nine hundred million worth of goods, while Feng Jun focused on Phone Plane development. The chapter left Feng Jun facing a new concern as Azuresteel Sect disciples arrived at Liba Beach for deductions about recovering from Extraterrestrial Astral Wind erosion.

• Dou Jiahui rejected the tycoon's interest-free three-hundred-million loan, wary that it could later entangle his factory in debt-to-equity conversion or other trouble.
• After the tycoon offered to order goods, Dou Jiahui agreed to a three-hundred-million advance in exchange for nine hundred million worth of deliveries within five years.
• The tycoon asked whether Feng Jun would honor the arrangement, and Dou Jiahui assured him that Feng Jun was a man of principles.
• Feng Jun left the factory matter behind and concentrated on crude-oil production and development in the Phone Plane.
• Around twenty Azuresteel Sect disciples arrived at Liba Beach for their first group of deductions on recuperating from Extraterrestrial Astral Wind erosion.

Azuresteel Sect disciples sought Divination from Feng Jun, and token holders received more detailed service than those paying Spirit Stones. Token trading spread, prompting Du Wentian to buy tokens for the Du Clan, but he backed off from confronting the sellers after learning they were former war cultivators.

• Yue Qing and Liang Chao brought more than twenty Azuresteel disciples to Feng Jun for Divination, and five disciples used tokens to receive more comprehensive service without paying additional Spirit Stones.
• An Azuresteel disciple bought a token from the Wu Clan after finding the Red Phoenix and Tiantong offers too expensive, then received a new Divination from Feng Jun, who refunded his previous payment because fewer than three days had passed.
• The disciple told Du Wentian that underground token sales could damage Feng Jun's reputation, and Feng Jun explained that he accepted the trading as market behavior and a sign of the tokens' value.
• Du Wentian decided the Du Clan should enter the token trade and sent two superiors to buy tokens, returning two months later with seven.
• When unfamiliar sellers began peddling Master Feng tokens near Lantern Town, Du Wentian considered intervening but backed off after learning they were all former war cultivators.
