• Recognition and rising status: Zhang Su progresses from a newly ascended cultivator to a figure watched and courted by Immortal Kings within a single chapter.
• The rarity of enlightenment: Even elite lineages and Immortal King descendants cannot guarantee Supreme Unity Fruit Rank attainment. Sudden Enlightenment is powerful but depends on individual comprehension and cannot simply be manufactured.

• Immortal King Zhou Tian attempts to recruit Zhang Su into the Immortal Court and warns him that his extraordinary talent may attract assassins from rival races and forces. Zhang Su politely refuses because of his loyalty and debt to the Constellation Immortal Sect.
• Zhou Tian explains the importance of remaining in the top ten of the True Immortal Top 100 Rankings. Those in the top ten become Children of Fortune, greatly accelerating their Dao Attainment during Sudden Enlightenment. However, ranked cultivators must also face challenges and may be required to fight and kill geniuses from rival forces.
• Back at the Constellation Immortal Sect, Zhang Su is treated as an equal by the elders because of his tenth-place ranking and exceptional talent. The sect promises to support him with one million Immortal Crystal Points annually and to seek more body-strengthening treasures.
• The Sect Master declares that Zhang Su is now the sect’s sole hope for future prosperity, and the entire sect agrees to prioritize his cultivation and protect him.
• During seven years of secluded cultivation, Zhang Su perfects three more Dao-comprehension techniques and experiences Sudden Enlightenment. Thanks to his Child of Fortune status, his Dao Attainment increases by ten years at once, rather than the usual one year.

• After receiving five additional Dragon Origin Fruits from the sect, Zhang Su announces that he intends to attain the Yi Fruit Rank in three days.
• The Sect Master and elders are stunned by Zhang Su’s accumulated Dao Attainment. They conclude that his breakthrough is virtually guaranteed and activate the sect-protecting grand formation to ensure he is not disturbed.

Character Developments

• Zhang Su becomes increasingly powerful, disciplined, and strategically cautious. Rather than rushing to break through at the minimum requirement of one hundred years of Dao Attainment, he quietly accumulates more than twice that amount before acting.
• His status changes from promising junior to the Constellation Immortal Sect’s central figure and greatest hope. The elders now regard him as their equal and are willing to spend heavily on his cultivation.

• The sect elders move from surprise and admiration to near-reverence, viewing Zhang Su as someone capable of restoring the sect’s former glory—and perhaps achieving the legendary Grand Unity Fruit Rank.

Significant Themes

• Talent and fortune: Zhang Su’s natural comprehension is extraordinary, but his position as a Child of Fortune multiplies the benefits of Sudden Enlightenment, making his growth dramatically faster.
• Loyalty and obligation: Zhang Su rejects a prestigious offer from the Immortal Court because he feels indebted to the Constellation Immortal Sect, emphasizing the importance of repaying kindness.
• Power brings danger: Rising fame attracts challenges, assassination attempts, and obligations to fight rival forces. Strength and caution must develop together.
• Accumulation versus haste: Zhang Su refuses to break through as soon as he reaches the minimum requirement. His careful accumulation of 231 years of Dao Attainment makes his future breakthrough almost certain.
• The revival of a declining sect: The Constellation Immortal Sect places all its hopes in Zhang Su, suggesting that his advancement may restore the sect to prominence.
• Cultivation as competition: The Top 100 Rankings are not merely honors; they determine access to fortune, impose challenges, and involve deadly struggles with other races and factions.

• The sect leadership collectively: After hearing of Zhang Su’s impending breakthrough, the Sect Master and Supreme Elders organize the sect’s defenses, summon the elders, and prepare to activate the protective formation.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhang Su continues cultivating in seclusion at the Constellation Immortal Sect, rejecting invitations to participate in voluntary “Dao discussions,” which are essentially deadly battles between factions seeking to seize Fortune.
• After several centuries of cultivation, the sect’s leaders gather outside his cave to witness an important breakthrough. Zhang Su enters the void and successfully merges with a Supreme Unity Fruit Rank, using over two hundred years of Dao Attainment.
• His breakthrough produces extraordinary phenomena—purple qi spreading ten thousand miles and golden light descending from the heavens—revealing that he has become the first person in the history of the Constellation Immortal Sect and the wider Constellation Mountains to attain this Fruit Rank.
• The Supreme Unity Fruit Rank dramatically enhances Zhang Su’s cultivation:
  • His cultivation speed increases roughly tenfold.
  • Refining the five Dragon Origin Fruits takes only a little over a month instead of years.
  • His physical body rises to the Seventy-Seventh Tier.
  • His sudden enlightenments begin increasing his Dao Attainment by twenty years instead of ten.
• Over the following years, Zhang Su’s Dao Attainment reaches 291 years, convincing him that the Fruit Rank is amplifying the gains from his Enlightenment State.
• The Immortal Court then issues Zhang Su a compulsory summons to participate in a deadly “Dao discussion” against the Demon Clan at the Demon Sun Mountains, a lawless and highly dangerous border region.
• Sect Master Profound Immortal Xingyi gives Zhang Su two specially chosen Immortal Artifacts: the Slaughter Immortal Sword and the Undying Immortal Armor. Zhang Su refines both within a few months and travels to the Immortal Court’s garrison.

• At the garrison, Zhang Su reunites with Fairy Huayue, True Immortal Futu, Extreme Dao True Immortal, and other ranking geniuses. Fairy Huayue senses Zhang Su’s Fruit Rank and publicly reveals his achievement, stunning everyone present.

Character Development

• Zhang Su: Makes a major leap in status and potential by attaining the Supreme Unity Fruit Rank. His cultivation, physical strength, Dao comprehension, and future prospects improve dramatically. He remains calm and modest despite becoming the sect’s greatest genius, but he is now preparing for his first compulsory battle against the Demon Clan.
• Profound Immortal Xingyi: His past decision to recruit Zhang Su despite opposition is vindicated. He becomes even more protective and supportive, providing Zhang Su with powerful, custom-suited Immortal Artifacts.
• Immortal King Zhou Tian: Initially viewed Zhang Su as an ordinary prodigy, but his opinion changes sharply after learning about the Fruit Rank. He now considers Zhang Su a potential future Immortal King, though he worries Zhang Su may lack battle experience.
• Fairy Huayue: As someone who already possesses the Supreme Unity Fruit Rank, she is uniquely qualified to recognize Zhang Su’s achievement. Her disbelief and public announcement trigger the chapter’s final uproar.
• True Immortal Futu and the other ranking experts: Their curiosity about Zhang Su’s hidden strength turns into shock and uncertainty after discovering how far his cultivation has advanced.

Significant Themes

• Dao Attainment and long-term cultivation: Zhang Su’s patient seclusion and focus on comprehension eventually produce a breakthrough more important than a simple realm increase.

• Recognition of potential: Zhang Su’s achievement transforms how the sect, the Immortal Court, and rival geniuses perceive him.
• Preparation for conflict: The chapter contrasts Zhang Su’s quiet cultivation with the brutal reality of the coming Demon Clan battle.
• Sect loyalty and investment: The Constellation Immortal Sect’s support and Xingyi’s earlier gamble on Zhang Su are shown to be crucial to his rise.

Key plot points and events

• Zhang Su reveals that he has attained the Supreme Unity Fruit Rank, joining Fairy Huayue as the only known person on the True Immortal Top 100 Rankings with that distinction. His breakthrough shocks the other cultivators, who have struggled for centuries to increase their Dao Attainment.
• Zhang Su explains that he perfected techniques suited to Dao comprehension and relied on the chance of entering an Enlightenment State. Though the method is known, its difficulty and demands make it impractical for most cultivators.
• True Immortal Futu warns that the Fruit Rank makes Zhang Su and Huayue prime targets in the coming contest with the Demon Clan. The contest will be deadly: losing costs personal and clan Fortune, and conceding may not prevent death.
• Zhang Su studies the Demon Clan’s rankings and learns that its cultivators rise through lethal combat. The first-ranked Blood Moon True Demon is especially feared, having never lost and rarely sparing defeated opponents.
• At the contest’s opening, Blood Moon challenges Extreme Dao True Immortal, the Human Clan’s top-ranked cultivator. Their fierce battle initially favors Extreme Dao, but Blood Moon’s blood-moon technique clouds his mind, allowing the Demon to wound him until he concedes. Blood Moon gains his Fortune.
• The defeat demoralizes the Human side. Fairy Huayue, the Azure Mountain Sword Immortal, and the other leading cultivators hesitate to challenge Blood Moon.
• Zhang Su steps forward, but does not challenge Blood Moon. Instead, he challenges Star Sea True Demon, ranked tenth, who accepts eagerly, hoping to claim the Demon Clan’s reward for killing Zhang Su. The chapter ends as the two prepare to fight.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhang Su moves from a quiet, underestimated cultivator to a newly recognized Fruit Rank holder. He remains candid about his cultivation method and shows resolve by volunteering after the Human Clan’s leading fighters falter, while choosing a more measured opponent than Blood Moon.
• Extreme Dao True Immortal goes from confident champion to the first major casualty of the contest. Though his perfected scripture gives him an edge, Blood Moon’s mental attack exposes a weakness and forces him to concede.
• Blood Moon True Demon establishes his dominance immediately: he is ruthless, strategically effective, and eager to target high-value opponents.
• Fairy Huayue is unsettled by Zhang Su’s advancement and becomes a conspicuous target, but her limited combat confidence keeps her from stepping forward.
• True Immortal Futu acts as Zhang Su’s adviser, explaining the contest’s stakes and warning him of the danger.
• Star Sea True Demon accepts Zhang Su’s challenge out of confidence and greed for the reward attached to Zhang Su’s death. Immortal King Zhou Tian and another Immortal King differ in their assessment of Zhang Su’s chances, leaving the outcome uncertain.

Significant themes

• Power and potential: The Supreme Unity Fruit Rank creates a vast divide between cultivators and marks its holders as both rising threats and targets.
• Risk and survival: The contest is not a friendly tournament; victory brings Fortune, while defeat can mean death even after conceding.
• Different paths to strength: The Human Clan’s rankings contrast with the Demon Clan’s culture of survival through slaughter, producing different kinds of fighters.
• Courage amid defeat: Zhang Su’s decision to act contrasts with the top-ranked cultivators’ hesitation, but his choice also underscores the tension between bravery and strategy.

• Blood Moon True Demon, ranked first and famous for defeating the Extreme Dao True Immortal, challenges Zhang Su. Zhang Su accepts, hoping the enormous Fortune at stake will push his own Fortune to transform.
• Blood Moon’s blood-moon and Demonic Qi overwhelm the field, but Zhang Su counters with the Slaughter Immortal Sword, combining it with Primordial Immortal Power and the Great Primordial Art. Blood Moon regenerates from severe wounds, revealing his near-immortality.
• Zhang Su realizes Blood Moon’s regeneration depends on his supply of Demonic Qi. He burns that energy with Primordial Immortal Power and finishes Blood Moon with sword strikes before he can surrender.
• The victory brings Zhang Su immense Fortune, which transforms into a wisp of Merit Golden Light. At the same time, he rises to first place on the True Immortal Top 100 Rankings, displacing Extreme Dao True Immortal.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhang Su reveals that his challenges are a deliberate hunt for Fortune, not merely a display of strength. His confidence is backed by exceptional combat ability, tactical insight, and a previously unseen mastery of the Slaughter Immortal Sword. He also discovers that accumulated Fortune can permanently convert into Merit Golden Light.
• Blood Moon True Demon begins certain of victory and initially relies on regeneration to survive Zhang Su’s attacks. Once Zhang Su identifies the source of that ability, Blood Moon panics and tries to yield, but is killed before he can finish.
• The Demon Clan moves from outrage at Zhang Su’s challenges to confidence that Blood Moon will stop him; that confidence collapses when Blood Moon falls.
• The Immortal Court shifts from concern after its earlier loss to astonishment and celebration. Immortal King Zhou Tian praises Zhang Su; Fairy Huayue and True Immortal Futu are stunned by his strength. Extreme Dao True Immortal watches with conflicted respect as Zhang Su surpasses him.

Significant themes

• Power proven through action: Zhang Su’s victories overturn assumptions about his abilities and expose the danger of underestimating him.
• Fortune and ambition: Zhang Su deliberately risks successive fights to gather enough Fortune for a greater transformation.
• Adaptation and insight: Raw power matters, but Zhang Su wins the final battle by identifying the mechanism behind Blood Moon’s regeneration and targeting it.
• Reversal and public recognition: A crushing defeat for the Immortal Court is answered by Zhang Su’s climb to first place and a dramatic shift in the contest’s balance.

Plot points and events

• Zhang Su’s victories over the Demon Clan’s top ten move him to first place on the True Immortal rankings, bringing him a surge of Fortune. Though the Demon Clan cannot challenge him, its fighters launch a desperate counterattack against the other Immortals and win most of the remaining bouts.
• At the debate’s end, Immortal King Zhou Tian declares the Human Clan the winner. He explains that Demon Clan fighters are stronger in same-level combat because their harsh lives demand constant battle, but that relentless killing makes it harder for them to understand the Great Dao and attain Fruit Ranks. The Human Clan’s cultivation and Fruit Rank attainments are its deeper advantage.
• Because Zhang Su has attained the Supreme Unity Fruit Rank, Zhou Tian takes him to the secret Immortal Court Ancestral Land. There, Zhang Su may study one of thirty-eight Supreme Immortal Steles, each preserving an Immortal Ancestor’s legacy.
• Zhang Su chooses the Primordial Immortal Stele, hoping to deepen his knowledge of the Primordial Immortal Scripture. At first, he senses no affinity and gains no insight. He uses Merit Golden Light to force a connection, then burns more of it to perceive and memorize the stele’s profound method.
• Zhang Su’s cultivation triggers a huge influx of immortal qi. Zhou Tian and other Immortal Kings activate the Ancestral Land’s formation to gather even more qi for him. After a year, Zhang Su emerges from his meditation having gained the stele’s inheritance.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhang Su shifts from celebrated combatant to student of an Immortal Ancestor’s legacy. His persistence and willingness to spend Merit Golden Light let him overcome his lack of natural affinity.
• Zhou Tian acts as Zhang Su’s guide and sponsor: he explains the Human Clan’s strengths, introduces him to the Ancestral Land, and helps arrange the additional immortal qi. Other Immortal Kings join in after witnessing the disturbance.
• Zhang Su’s triumph contrasts with Fairy Huayue, a renowned cultivator who previously visited the Ancestral Land but failed to obtain a stele’s legacy.
• The Demon Clan’s leaders depart after losing the overall debate, while Zhou Tian and Zhang Su exchange views on the reasons behind the clans’ different strengths.

Result and themes

• The Primordial Immortal Scripture is replaced by the Primordial Great Dao Immortal Scripture, now at Minor Accomplishment (38%). Its true inheritance is vastly more difficult to cultivate than the simplified scripture.
• Zhang Su raises his Compatibility Rate to 100%, making cultivation much more efficient, but progress remains slow: even reaching the scripture’s Initiation Realm is expected to take a century. Further advancement would be easier with the rare Grand Unity Fruit Rank.
• The chapter emphasizes the trade-off between strength and long-term advancement, the value of disciplined focus over pursuing too many legacies, and the roles of perseverance, opportunity, and earned cultivation rank. It also highlights Merit Golden Light as a way for Zhang Su to overcome limits that would stop ordinary cultivators.

Key plot points and events

• After leaving the Ancestral Land, Zhang Su tells Immortal King Zhou Tian that he has inherited the Primordial Great Dao Immortal Scripture. Zhou Tian warns that cultivating it could delay Zhang Su’s advancement to Profound Immortal for an extremely long time, but promises a profound foundation and exceptional strength if mastered.
• Back at the Constellation Immortal Sect, Zhang Su is celebrated for taking first place in the True Immortal Top 100 Rankings. Sect Master Xingyi explains that Zhang’s achievement brings Fortune to the sect, helping it attract talented disciples, and gives him three more Dragon Origin Fruits.
• Zhang Su assesses his progress and decides that improving his Dao Attainment—and eventually reaching the Grand Unity Fruit Rank—is essential to accelerating cultivation of the scripture. He also hopes Merit Golden Light can shorten the process further.
• The three Dragon Origin Fruits raise his Fleshly Body only to the Seventy-Ninth Tier, revealing a bottleneck that requires a more powerful Immortal Treasure. Zhang asks the sect to look for one.
• Zhang cultivates eight enlightenment-focused arts at a time. Every fourteen years, two rounds guarantee a Sudden Enlightenment. Using Merit Golden Light during two such enlightenments boosts his Dao Attainment by forty years each time, bringing it to 371 years and three months. However, the process consumes all his accumulated Merit Golden Light.
• Seeking a way to gain more Fortune, Zhang consults friends in the Supreme Unity Space. Profound Immortal Jiulong recommends creating a major sensation across the Immortal Network and points him toward the Invincible True Immortal Tower.
• The tower is a commercial venture run by the Invincible Commerce Guild, which uses famous True Immortal battle projections and public challenges to attract attention and profit. Leaving his name there could bring Zhang vast Fortune, though the challenge process is complicated. Jiulong gives him a contact, Profound Immortal Huayu, to help arrange it.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhang Su remains ambitious and pragmatic: he accepts the scripture’s difficulty but seeks ways to accelerate his growth, carefully balancing resources, time, and his obligations to return to the lower realm.
• Immortal King Zhou Tian acts as a cautious mentor, acknowledging the scripture’s potential while warning Zhang not to sacrifice advancement blindly.
• Sect Master Xingyi shows strong support for Zhang, recognizing that his success benefits both him and the sect; the sect provides resources and promises to search for what he needs.
• Profound Immortal Jiulong serves as a trusted adviser, explaining how Fortune can be cultivated and connecting Zhang with someone knowledgeable about the tower.

Significant themes

• Ambition versus time: Zhang’s extraordinary goals are constrained by cultivation timelines and the limited lifespans of those he cares about.
• The value and cost of resources: Powerful cultivation requires rare treasures, while Merit Golden Light can greatly enhance enlightenment but is quickly depleted.
• Fortune and reputation: Individual achievement can enrich an entire sect, and public fame may become a deliberate means of gaining Fortune.
• Commerce behind prestige: The Invincible True Immortal Tower’s celebrated contests are also carefully managed for profit, showing how fame and cultivation culture intertwine.

• Zhang Su meets Profound Immortal Huayu to arrange a challenge at the Invincible True Immortal Tower. He explains that he seeks Fortune, not just wealth or fame.
• Huayu explains that the tower is a major commercial spectacle backed by an Immortal King, and that challengers normally face lengthy rounds of selection. Because Zhang Su ranks first on the True Immortal Top 100, the guild agrees to let him bypass them.
• In exchange, the guild schedules the challenge a year later and promotes it heavily, using Zhang Su’s ranking, ascender background, and past victories over the Demon Clan. The publicity brings him a steady influx of Fortune, while promising him a large share of the event’s earnings.
• A year later, Zhang Su travels to the tower with Constellation Immortal Sect leaders Xingyi and Tongming. Before a huge audience both in person and online, he chooses to challenge the first-floor projection of True Immortal Yuning, a renowned cultivator of the Primordial Immortal Scripture.
• Zhang Su and Yuning use comparable cultivation and techniques, but Zhang Su’s accumulated physical-strength amplifications give him a far stronger foundation. He defeats Yuning almost instantly.
• Rather than end the event, Zhang Su requests to continue to the second floor. He selects True Immortal Jueyuan, one of the figures famed for being Invincible Across a Hundred Eras. The chapter ends as Jueyuan’s projection awakens and fixes its gaze on Zhang Su.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhang Su shows strategic patience: he accepts a year of publicity because it generates Fortune, then turns an unexpectedly brief victory into a chance to challenge a far greater opponent.
• Profound Immortal Huayu acts as Zhang Su’s broker and promoter. She negotiates special access with the guild and manages the event, which may also bring her recognition.
• The Constellation Immortal Sect supports Zhang Su, viewing his challenge as an opportunity for the sect as well as a personal achievement. Xingyi and Tongming accompany him to the tower.

• The Invincible Commerce Guild is initially anxious that Zhang Su might lose quickly, but his victory and decision to continue transform the event into an even greater spectacle.

Significant themes

• Publicity as power: The guild turns reputation and past accomplishments into attention, revenue, and Fortune.
• Foundation beyond technique: Matching cultivation and arts does not mean matching strength; Zhang Su’s accumulated enhancements decide the fight.
• Ambition and escalation: Zhang Su’s easy victory does not satisfy him—he immediately seeks a more demanding test.
• Reputation and spectacle: The chapter contrasts the authority of the Immortal Court’s rankings with the tower’s ability to captivate the wider Immortal Network.

Key plot points and events

• Zhang Su challenges the Invincible True Immortal Tower’s second layer and defeats True Immortal Jueyuan, whose self-created immortal art once made him nearly unbeatable. Zhang’s Great Primordial Art breaks down most of Jueyuan’s attack, and three sword strikes finish the recorded shadow.
• Rather than stop at the second layer, Zhang Su challenges the third. He selects True Immortal Beiji, unaware that Beiji’s present-day self is a living Immortal Emperor.
• Beiji’s shadow uses an immense freezing art that can halt even Zhang Su’s sword light. Zhang turns the battle by drawing on his exceptional Seventy-Ninth Tier fleshly body; after withstanding eight slashes, Beiji’s shadow is destroyed by the ninth.
• Zhang becomes the fourth recorded shadow on the tower’s third layer, earning the title “Unmatched Throughout History.” His victory brings a huge surge of Fortune and widespread attention. The Constellation Immortal Sect celebrates, while Profound Immortal Huayu handles the resulting commerce and rewards.
• Immortal Emperor Beiji learns of the defeat, watches the recording, and recognizes that Zhang’s extraordinary foundations—especially his Primordial Great Dao Immortal Scripture and fleshly body—explain the result. He takes note of Zhang but otherwise remains composed.
• Zhang returns to secluded cultivation. Over seventy years, five bouts of sudden enlightenment add roughly two hundred years of Dao attainment. His scripture reaches 45% of minor accomplishment, and he studies more sword-based immortal arts to broaden his combat skills. A settlement from the Commerce Guild exceeds fifty billion Immortal Crystals.
• The chapter ends when Zhang receives an unexpected message from a stranger on the Immortal Network: it is signed by Immortal Emperor Beiji.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhang Su proves he can defeat not only celebrated True Immortal records but also a shadow belonging to a future Immortal Emperor. He recognizes that his combat repertoire is incomplete and responds by training in additional arts.
• True Immortal Beiji / Immortal Emperor Beiji is established as an extraordinary figure whose freezing power can counter Zhang’s sword attacks. After reviewing the loss, he identifies Zhang’s unusually deep foundations and becomes aware of him.
• Profound Immortal Huayu shifts from cautiously expecting a possible first-layer victory to celebrating Zhang’s unprecedented third-layer achievement. She takes charge of negotiating the substantial financial proceeds.
• Extreme Dao True Immortal abandons hope of catching up with Zhang, while Fairy Huayue is astonished by how far his combat strength exceeds her own despite their shared Supreme Unity Fruit Rank.
• The Constellation Immortal Sect sees Zhang’s victory as evidence of potential to become an Immortal King, or even an Immortal Emperor.

Significant themes

• Relentless growth: Victory does not make Zhang complacent; he returns to cultivation and addresses gaps in his abilities.
• Recognition and legacy: Leaving a shadow on the tower’s highest layer ensures Zhang will be remembered across generations.
• The widening gulf between prodigies: Zhang’s rapid advancement leaves peers who once hoped to match him far behind.

Key plot points

• Immortal Emperor Beiji summons Zhang Su and more than a hundred elite True Immortals to establish Immortal Roads in a newly discovered lower realm and spread cultivation methods. Each Road earns valuable Immortal Merit; the mission also carries the risk of conflict with other races.
• Zhang Su joins, hoping to earn enough Merit to obtain a treasure that will advance his fleshly body. After three days, Beiji opens a passage through the Immortal River and personally protects the group’s descent.
• Zhang Su arrives in an immense universe with no familiar spiritual energy. He encounters the technologically advanced Myriad Star Alliance, which is at war with a Cultivator Faction. Its fleet mistakes him for a powerful cultivator and attacks.
• Zhang Su withstands the fleet’s weapons, destroys its three Droplets, and effortlessly dismantles most of its ten thousand warships. By searching survivors’ memories, he learns that the Alliance is winning and the Cultivator Faction is close to defeat.
• He travels to the faction’s besieged headquarters, judges its cultivation methods crude and flawed, and decides to demonstrate overwhelming power. Using Heaven-and-Earth Manifestation, he grows to a size a hundred times greater than a star, poised to astonish both sides.

• Zhang Su and Beiji interact respectfully; Beiji recognizes their connection through Zhang Su’s victory over his recorded shadow.

Significant themes

• Power and perception: The Alliance’s weapons and categories of strength prove inadequate against Zhang Su’s Immortal power.
• Cultivation as influence: Establishing Immortal Roads and teaching cultivation can extend a faction’s presence and claim over a world.
• Knowledge and adaptation: Zhang Su learns the universe’s conditions and political balance before deciding how to act.
• Dramatic display: His gigantic manifestation is a deliberate show of force intended to change how both factions see him.

Key plot points and events

• Zhang Su reveals overwhelming Immortal power in the lower realm, annihilating the Myriad Star Alliance’s fleet of more than a million warships with one palm. He then returns to his normal size and introduces himself as Immortal Boundless, descended from the Immortal Realm.
• He learns that this universe’s cultivators have no true Universal-level experts; its strongest have entered the mysterious Void Zone. The Cultivator Faction’s last refuge is the Heavenly Star Continent, protected by a galactic-level guardian and powerful formations.
• Zhang Su rejects the Cultivator Faction’s suggestion that the Myriad Star Alliance be excluded from his teachings. He argues that the Alliance’s hostility stems partly from its military advantage, and that it must first be shown the cultivation arts’ worth.
• He proves his strength by breaking through the Heavenly Star Continent’s defenses with one finger, then gives its people cultivation methods and prepares an Immortal Road.
• After a month of preparation, Zhang Su opens the road, connecting the continent to the Immortal Realm and drawing in Immortal Spirit Aura. The cultivators see this as a path to eventual Immortality.
• Zhang Su leaves for the Myriad Star Alliance’s headquarters, the Brilliant Great Star. The Alliance’s leaders have already begun studying his methods, and one person has reached the initiation realm. Zhang Su arrives without detection and asks whether they want to witness an Immortal’s power.

Character developments

• Zhang Su grows more conscious of the immense gap between Immortals and lower-realm powers, reflecting that even the Ancient Gods could not truly challenge an Immortal. He acts as a teacher and bridge to the Immortal Realm, while remaining detached from the factions’ conflict.
• Venerable Falling Star moves from awe to acceptance of Zhang Su’s inclusive approach, recognizing why the Alliance might only respect cultivation after seeing its power.
• Venerable Nebula, initially skeptical despite believing Falling Star’s report, becomes fully convinced after Zhang Su breaches the continent’s defenses.
• The Myriad Star Alliance’s leaders shift from disbelief about the Immortal to cautious acceptance after reviewing the fleet’s destruction and seeing early results from cultivation.

Significant themes

• The gap between power levels: Immortal might makes even the strongest lower-realm defenses and weapons seem insignificant.
• Knowledge and persuasion: Zhang Su believes that demonstrating cultivation’s power is more effective than merely offering teachings.
• Shared opportunity amid conflict: He gives both sides access to cultivation methods, refusing to let old enmities determine who may benefit.
• Hope and self-determination: The Immortal Road and new methods give the lower realm a chance to produce its own Immortals, though Zhang Su leaves the factions’ future struggle to them.

Character interactions

Chapter Summary

• Zhang Su subdues the Myriad Star Alliance: To prove his power, Zhang Su transforms a star in his palm into a black hole. The Alliance’s leaders submit, and he gives them Immortal Realm cultivation methods before spending a month establishing an Immortal Road on Brilliant Great Star.
• He expands his reach: Over the next seventy years, Zhang Su opens 21 Immortal Roads across qualified civilizations, earning 2,100 immortal merit. He continues cultivating, raising his Primordial Great Dao Immortal Scripture to 52% and his Dao attainment to 671 years. He also learns that other Immortal Court cultivators are competing—and sometimes fighting—for Immortal Roads.
• A new opportunity emerges: True Immortal Wu Mo tells Zhang Su that the Heavenly Dipper Star Domain contains dozens of civilizations eligible for Immortal Roads, but Human and Demon Clan cultivators are already battling over them. Wu Mo, having completed his own task, returns to the Immortal Realm rather than risk further conflict.
• Zhang Su claims the star domain: Zhang Su arrives and publicly orders all Immortal Realm cultivators to leave, declaring that he will monopolize the Heavenly Dipper Star Domain. Some withdraw, but many stay, confident they can resist him or escape if necessary.
• He confronts the Earthly Baleful True Demon: Zhang Su finds Human and Demon Clan forces fighting. The Demon Clan’s powerful leader, the Earthly Baleful True Demon, blocks the Human cultivators from leaving. When Zhang Su appears, the Humans retreat, trusting him to handle the threat. The watching cultivators refuse to join the fight, preferring to judge the outcome before choosing sides.
• The battle turns in Zhang Su’s favor: The Earthly Baleful True Demon attacks with overwhelming demonic qi, but Zhang Su’s sword and Primordial Immortal Power break through it. The demon’s Earthly Baleful Demon Body withstands most of the strike and heals its wound, but Zhang Su then engulfs it in flames formed from Primordial Immortal Power. The demon screams in agony as the chapter ends.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Zhang Su grows increasingly ambitious and openly domineering. He sees Immortal Roads as a major source of merit and intends to seize every opportunity, relying on overwhelming force rather than negotiation. He also deliberately targets a renowned Demon Clan powerhouse to frighten potential rivals.
• True Immortal Wu Mo demonstrates caution and restraint: after opening three Immortal Roads, he chooses to return to the Immortal Realm rather than compete for more.
• The Earthly Baleful True Demon is initially confident in his reputation and combat strength, but becomes wary when Zhang Su arrives. His attempt to recruit the onlookers against Zhang Su fails.

After arranging a challenge against every shadow recording on the first three layers of the Invincible True Immortal Tower, Zhang Su entered the Immortal Network as the eagerly awaited battle began.

• Fairy Huayue explained that the Slaughter Calamity could arrive in less than a hundred years and that Dao partners would share its burden, but Zhang Su revealed his Grand Unity Fruit Rank and declined to become her partner.
