Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Di Xing boasts that the Shu Imperial Clan’s ultimate weapon, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron, will allow the First Heavenly Court to resist the Eternal God Lord’s forces.
• The Ancient Cultivator King reveals that the cauldron has already been seized. A mysterious young woman—later identified by her power as a Pinnacle Stage Half-step Transcender—silently suppresses it in her hand.
• Di Xing and Di Jing realize that their greatest advantage has been neutralized and are horrified that such a powerful subordinate serves the still-unseen Eternal God Lord.
• The Cloud Emperor appears carrying a terrifying violet banner containing six Half-step Transcendence-grade primary souls. He claims to be merely an insignificant subordinate, further emphasizing the Eternal God Lord’s overwhelming power.
• Recognizing that resistance would mean certain destruction, Di Xing and Di Jing surrender. The First Heavenly Court submits to the Eternal God Lord, preserving the Shu Clan from annihilation.
• Other major powers in the Three Thousand Dimensions, including the Ten Thousand Currents Sea and Extreme Sacred Mountain, are similarly located and forced to submit. Their Half-step Transcendence-grade foundations prove useless against genuine Half-step Transcenders.
• Over time, the major powers of the Three Thousand Dimensions and the First Dimension join the Eternity Dao Court.
• Li Yue ignores the political unification, focusing instead on cultivating his own strength. Five hundred years pass.
• The Great Zhen Imperial Court becomes extremely prosperous and develops into a central holy land of faith for the Eternal God Lord. Twice each year, all beings—ordinary mortals, gods, Buddhas, and powerful cultivators alike—gather for the Grand Sacrifice.
• During the latest sacrifice, Temple Keeper Qin Wange leads more than a thousand Grand Chief Priests in solemn worship. Although the Eternal God Lord has not responded for over a thousand years, Qin Wange remains completely devoted.
• Li Yue finally notices the offering and discovers that it carries a seven-million-and-sixty-eight-thousand-fold amplification, filling him with anticipation.

Character Developments

• Di Xing and Di Jing: Their arrogance and confidence collapse when the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron is effortlessly suppressed. They pragmatically abandon resistance and submit to Li Yue to save the First Heavenly Court and the Shu Clan.
• Ancient Cultivator King: Acts as a calm and confident negotiator, knowing that the First Heavenly Court has no chance against the Eternal God Lord’s forces.
• The mysterious young woman: Demonstrates overwhelming temporal power by restraining the Pinnacle Stage Heavenly Emperor Cauldron, establishing herself as an extremely powerful Half-step Transcender.
• Cloud Emperor: Displays immense strength while maintaining humility, presenting himself as merely a subordinate. His statement implies that the Eternal God Lord commands beings even more powerful than himself.
• Qin Wange: Remains unwaveringly faithful and dutiful. Despite receiving no divine response for centuries, he continues organizing every Grand Sacrifice with the utmost care.
• Li Yue: Continues prioritizing personal cultivation over administration and expansion, but becomes intensely interested when he detects the extraordinary amplification of the latest offering.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and submission: The First Heavenly Court and other major powers surrender because resistance against true Half-step Transcenders is meaningless.
• The vastness of Li Yue’s influence: Even formidable figures like the Cloud Emperor are only subordinates, suggesting that Li Yue’s true strength is far beyond what others can imagine.
• Faith and devotion: The Great Zhen Imperial Court unites all beings through worship, treating every believer as equal during the Grand Sacrifice.
• Perseverance without reward: Qin Wange’s continued service despite more than a thousand years of silence highlights unwavering belief and loyalty.
• Growth through accumulation: The enormous amplification generated by the sacrifice suggests that Li Yue’s power and advancement are fueled by the long-term accumulation of faith and offerings.

Important Character Interactions

• Di Xing and the Ancient Cultivator King: Their confrontation shifts from Di Xing’s confident threat to the Ancient Cultivator King’s calm exposure of the cauldron’s defeat.
• Di Xing and Di Jing with the young woman: Their fear reveals the enormous gap between their Ordinary Stage strength and her Pinnacle Stage power.
• Di Xing and Di Jing with the Cloud Emperor: The Cloud Emperor’s humble self-description intensifies their dread and persuades them that surrender is their only viable option.
• Qin Wange and the believers: Qin Wange leads the entire Great Zhen Imperial Court in collective worship, reinforcing the unity of the Eternal God Lord’s followers.
• Li Yue and the Grand Sacrifice: Though physically absent and silent for centuries, Li Yue remains the central object of devotion and now turns his attention to the sacrifice’s unprecedented amplification.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• After 500 years of seclusion, Li Yue reflects on the passage of time. Since becoming a god 1,643 years earlier, he advanced rapidly during his first 500 years, reaching the High-grade Taboo Divine Rank, but spent the next 1,000 years advancing only to the Super Taboo Divine Rank.
• He considers how cultivation changes the value of time and recognizes that his Infinite Amplification talent can turn time into an extraordinary resource. The Offering Amplification has continued increasing through two annual Grand Sacrifices, reaching more than seven million times.
• Li Yue questions the origin and limits of his talent. He wonders whether even an Ancient Emperor Lord of the Fourth Transcendence Realm could grant such a power, and whether the source of Infinite Amplification is separate from the Source of the Divine Path.
• The latest Offering is revealed to be an Azure Wood Ancient Lamp, an Intermediate Dao-wielding Grade treasure once used as the Dao-Proving Supreme Treasure of Azure Wood, a powerful Taboo Creature and former subordinate of Jiang.
• The lamp had passed through many owners and suffered repeated damage before being offered to Li Yue by one of his Believers. Li Yue accepts it, causing it to vanish from the altar.
• His acceptance triggers an ecstatic response among Qin Wange, the Great Zhen Imperial Court, countless Deities, and innumerable Believers. They praise Li Yue and rejoice that, after more than ten million years from their perspective, the God Lord has finally acknowledged their Offering.
• Beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions, the Source Dao Sea begins pouring immense quantities of Source Dao Power into the realm. Transcenders who have been waiting there for another supreme treasure are shocked that a second such treasure has appeared only slightly more than a thousand years after the previous one.
• The Transcenders speculate about the treasure’s value, initially estimating the power of three or four Second Transcendence Realm beings. Their optimism turns to horror when the infusion surpasses the equivalent of one hundred Second Transcendence Realm beings and continues increasing.

Character Developments

• Li Yue becomes more reflective and increasingly aware of the vast scale of time and cultivation. His confidence in the exceptional nature of Infinite Amplification grows, though he remains uncertain about its true origin.
• He shows calm recognition of Azure Wood’s history and the cyclical nature of fate: the treasure of a fallen ally of Jiang eventually reaches him after he destroyed the Thirty-Three Heavens Alliance, likely responsible for Azure Wood’s death.
• Qin Wange and the Believers demonstrate unwavering devotion. Li Yue’s acceptance renews their faith and confirms, in their eyes, that he has continued watching over them.
• The Transcenders beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions shift from hopeful anticipation to alarm as the new treasure absorbs an impossibly vast amount of Source Dao Power. The red-haired Transcender remains particularly cautious, suspecting that a major transformation has occurred within the Three Thousand Dimensions.

Significant Themes

• The changing value of time: For mortals, centuries are enormous, while for powerful cultivators they pass almost instantly. Yet Li Yue’s talent can convert accumulated time into tangible power.
• Limits and origins of power: Li Yue questions whether Infinite Amplification surpasses the abilities of even the highest Ancient Emperor Lords and whether it originates from the same source as the Divine Path.
• Fate and inheritance: Azure Wood’s treasure survives his death and eventually returns to the broader struggle through Li Yue, suggesting that power and legacy move in unexpected cycles.
• Faith and divine response: The Believers’ joy emphasizes the bond between worshippers and their distant deity, while Li Yue’s acceptance validates their devotion after millions of perceived years.
• Escalation and mystery: The repeated birth of extraordinary treasures suggests that the Three Thousand Dimensions is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, one capable of disturbing even the strongest Transcenders.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue interacts indirectly with Qin Wange by accepting his Offering, prompting Qin Wange’s fervent worship.
• His acceptance also affects the Great Zhen Imperial Court, its officials, countless Deities, and all Believers, uniting them in celebration.
• The Transcenders beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions debate the significance and likely value of the emerging treasure. Their discussion reveals both greed and anticipation, but the astonishingly prolonged infusion of Source Dao Power forces them into collective fear and uncertainty.

Chapter Summary: Prototype of the Myriad Dao Ancient Lamp, Beyond Transcendence?!

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Source Dao Sea continues pouring power into the newly formed supreme treasure within the Three Thousand Dimensions. Its accumulated power rises from that of two hundred Second Transcendence Realm beings to an astonishing four hundred and ninety-nine.
• The treasure reaches the absolute limit of the Second Transcendence Realm, causing the watching First Transcendence Realm beings to realize they have no chance of competing for it.
• A black-dressed woman riding a colossal black Phoenix arrives. Her aura vastly surpasses the First Transcendence Realm, forcing all weaker Transcenders—including the red-haired overseer—to retreat.
• Four additional Second Transcendence Realm beings arrive. The five powerful beings silently surround the Three Thousand Dimensions, prepared to wait indefinitely for someone to bring the treasure out.
• Elsewhere, Li Yue receives an Advanced Dao-wielding Grade Azure Wood Ancient Lamp through a Grand Sacrifice. The Divine Path rules amplify it more than seven million times, transforming it into the Transcendence-grade Prototype of the Myriad Dao Ancient Lamp.
• The lamp appears deceptively ordinary: an ancient bronze lamp with the characters “Myriad Dao” engraved upon it. Li Yue cannot inspect its true information, just as he was unable to inspect the previously obtained Super Heaven Seed.
• When Li Yue lights the lamp, its radiance reveals his four Transcendence-grade secret arts and gives him the ability to raise any one of them by an entire realm.
• Li Yue realizes that the lamp can elevate even a Third Transcendence Realm peerless secret art into a Fourth Transcendence Realm supreme secret art—the level associated with an Ancient Emperor Lord.
• He further discovers that the lamp itself can evolve as it elevates enough secret arts. Eventually, it may lose the word “Prototype” from its name and become a treasure capable of reaching Beyond Transcendence.

Character Developments

• Li Yue experiences immense shock and excitement. He recognizes that the lamp is far more powerful than any treasure he has previously obtained and may allow him to touch the realm beyond Ancient Emperor Lords.
• His ambitions and understanding of power expand dramatically. He now possesses a potential path to improve his Dao Fruits and secret arts without personally recreating them through countless years of cultivation.
• The external Transcenders are forced to acknowledge that the treasure born within the Three Thousand Dimensions is beyond their level. The arrival of the Second Transcendence Realm beings establishes that the treasure has become important enough to attract the strongest figures in the region.
• The black-dressed woman is introduced as an overwhelmingly powerful and commanding figure. Her brief order is enough to disperse every First Transcendence Realm being present.

Significant Themes

• The overwhelming scale of power: The treasure’s Source Dao Power reaches the equivalent of 499 Second Transcendence Realm beings, emphasizing the vast gulf between the First and Second Transcendence Realms.
• The birth of an unprecedented artifact: The Myriad Dao Ancient Lamp appears ordinary but possesses a function that defies conventional cultivation and treasure-making.
• Transcending inherited limits: The lamp can improve secret arts that embody the life’s work and Dao Fruits of powerful Transcenders, suggesting that even seemingly ultimate achievements can be surpassed.
• The pursuit of Beyond Transcendence: The chapter introduces the possibility that Li Yue may eventually obtain a treasure capable of progressing beyond the realm of Ancient Emperor Lords, presenting a new and nearly unimaginable goal.
• Patience and inevitability: The five Second Transcendence Realm beings are willing to wait for endless ages, showing the immense importance of the treasure and the timeless perspective of the strongest beings.

Character Interactions

• The First Transcendence Realm beings react with fear and helplessness to the treasure’s power and obey the black-dressed woman without resistance.
• The black-dressed woman’s command, “Step back,” establishes her dominance over the surrounding Transcenders.
• The five Second Transcendence Realm beings exchange silent glances but do not speak, united by their interest in the treasure and confident that they can wait indefinitely.
• Li Yue interacts directly with the newly created lamp by lighting it. Through this interaction, he learns that it can upgrade his Qian Origin Eternal Body, Hai Wudao, Ultimate Thirteen Dao Swords, and Great Void Time-Space secret arts by an entire realm.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue recovers from his shock after discovering that the ordinary-looking Bronze Ancient Lamp is actually the Prototype of the Myriad Dao Ancient Lamp, a treasure capable of upgrading Third Transcendence Realm peerless secret arts into Fourth Transcendence Realm supreme secret arts.
• The lamp currently contains enough oil to:
  • Upgrade three Third Realm peerless secret arts to the Fourth Realm, or
  • Upgrade thirty Second Realm secret arts to the Third Realm.
• Replenishing the lamp oil requires enormous resources: Transcender souls, Source Dao Power from many First Transcendence Realm beings, and the origin of an entire ordinary heaven and earth. Fourth-Realm upgrades require ten times the normal amount.
• Li Yue reviews his seven Third Transcendence Realm secret arts and decides to use two of the three available upgrades on:

Qian Origin Eternal Body

Qian Origin Grand Luo Fist Seal

• He believes these complementary techniques, already extremely powerful at the Third Realm, could become peerless in offense and defense after reaching the Fourth Realm.
• He chooses not to use the final portion of the lamp oil yet. He plans to investigate the motives of Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi, especially why Zhi created the nine great heavens and left behind so many supreme inheritances.
• Li Yue worries that the inheritances may contain hidden traps or contingencies. He also plans to acquire the Origin Law of Ending Conflict in 2,500 years, but refuses to cultivate it until he understands Zhi’s intentions.
• He continues secluded cultivation, expecting another Offering within the next millennium that may be as valuable as the ancient lamp.
• In the Three Thousand Gods and Devils Realms, an enormous phantom of Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi appears across the entire realm and even reaches into High Heaven.
• The phantom announces that he, identified as Gu Yang in the declaration, will command all Gods and Devils. Those who resist will have their tribes destroyed and their wills erased.
• Zhi/Gu Yang reveals that five of the nine heavens and earth have obtained his inheritance and activates a new war mode: “three against three,” with the winners fighting again. He concludes by declaring that the sole supreme powerhouse of the nine great heavens may meet him “amid the clouds.”

2. Character Developments

• Li Yue advances from merely pursuing power to planning specifically for the Transcendence Realm. He recognizes that ordinary cultivation gains are no longer enough and begins preparing Fourth-Realm-level techniques.
• His cautious and analytical nature becomes more pronounced. Despite possessing an extraordinary treasure, he refuses to use it recklessly because of the possibility that Zhi’s inheritances conceal a conspiracy.
• Li Yue’s ambitions grow: he aims to obtain the strongest offensive and defensive abilities possible and potentially become a supreme powerhouse among the nine heavens.
• Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi/Gu Yang is revealed as an active and domineering force rather than merely a historical figure. His proclamation suggests he intends to control the various realms and force their supreme beings into conflict.

3. Significant Themes

• Power and scarcity: The lamp grants unimaginable strength, but its limited oil and exorbitant replenishment cost force Li Yue to make careful strategic choices.
• Caution at higher realms: Greater power brings greater danger. Li Yue understands that powerful beings may already be watching him and that hidden schemes could threaten him if he advances carelessly.
• Inheritance and manipulation: Zhi’s numerous supreme inheritances raise questions about their origin and whether they are gifts, traps, or tools for a larger plan.
• Preparation versus immediate strength: Li Yue prioritizes long-term survival and understanding over immediately using every available resource.
• Cosmic conflict and domination: The final proclamation transforms the broader setting from one of scattered cultivation and inheritance into an organized war among the nine heavens.

4. Character Interactions

• Li Yue’s main “interaction” is with the legacies of Ancient Emperor Lords, especially the Bronze Ancient Lamp, Zhi’s inheritances, and the anticipated Origin Law of Ending Conflict. His relationship with these inheritances is cautious rather than trusting.
• He mentally weighs the value of his existing techniques and determines that the Qian Origin Eternal Body and Qian Origin Grand Luo Fist Seal best complement each other.
• Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi/Gu Yang directly addresses every God and Devil in the Three Thousand Gods and Devils Realms, demanding obedience and threatening annihilation for resistance.
• The final announcement also challenges the strongest beings of the nine heavens, setting up a future confrontation between Zhi/Gu Yang and the supreme powerhouse of the entire system.

Chapter Summary: War Mode Activated, Transcenders Hold Open the Gates to Other Heavens

Key Plot Points and Events

• After ninety years of seclusion, Li Yue is awakened by a supreme announcement declaring that “war mode” has begun. The battle will involve three heavens fighting three others, with the victors required to fight again.
• Li Yue looks toward the deepest part of the Endless Darkness, where the Fallen Life’s nest lies. There, he discovers the enormous, distorted dark-violet eyes of the being known as the “Mother of All.”
• A Fallen Life Transcender is revealed to be physically holding open a gigantic rift in space. The rift is apparently a gateway to one of the nine other heavens. Its body is bound by chains formed from the Three Thousand Origin Great Daos.
• The rift suddenly splits apart, tearing the Transcender in two while it appears to utter twisted, cursed words. This confirms that the gateways are being forcibly opened at great cost.
• Li Yue summons all of the Three Thousand Dimensions’ Half-step Transcendences to the Eternity Heavenly Palace. He explains the situation and asks Cloud Emperor whether either rift leads to the dangerous Three Thousand Dao Heavens.
• Cloud Emperor confirms that neither rift carries the aura of the Three Thousand Dao Heavens, relieving Li Yue and the others of their immediate fear of facing its terrifying leader.
• Rather than rush into battle, Li Yue orders the group to wait until the rifts stabilize. He plans to capture scouts from the opposing heavens and extract information before committing to war.
• Li Yue decides that prolonging the conflict is advantageous because every additional century gives him more time to cultivate and gather Offerings. His immediate goal is to raise his Divine Rank to the Dao-Wielding Divine Rank.

Character Development

• Li Yue: His strength has increased dramatically during his seclusion. His major secret arts have advanced substantially, raising him from Supreme Dimension-level to Unparalleled Dimension-level. With ten-thousand-fold combat power, he can now rival a fifth-tier Extreme Dao expert and is approaching Quasi-Transcendence. Despite his growing power, he remains cautious and strategic, preferring intelligence and delay over reckless confrontation.
• Cloud Emperor: His fear of the Three Thousand Dao Heavens’ leader is emphasized. Although he once held great influence there, he now depends on the Three Thousand Dimensions for survival and is terrified that his former leader could kill him effortlessly.
• The Fallen Life Transcender: Its role is clarified as that of a gate-opener rather than an active invader. Its grotesque sacrifice or destruction demonstrates the immense danger and power involved in opening paths between heavens.
• The Half-step Transcendences: They show absolute respect toward Li Yue and follow his command without opposition, establishing him as the central leader of the Three Thousand Dimensions.

Significant Themes

• Approaching inter-heaven war: The announcement transforms the story from regional conflict into a multiversal confrontation involving multiple heavens.
• Preparation versus haste: Li Yue emphasizes gathering intelligence and understanding the enemy before fighting, reflecting the principle that knowledge is essential to victory.
• The value of time: Li Yue sees delay as an advantage because continued cultivation and Offerings will steadily increase his power.
• Cosmic horror and sacrifice: The distorted Fallen Life, the monstrous rift, and the Transcender being torn apart reinforce the terrifying scale of the forces involved.
• Power and vulnerability: Even with near-Transcendent strength, Li Yue remains aware that stronger beings—especially the leader of the Three Thousand Dao Heavens—could still threaten him.
• Cultivation as preparation for destiny: Li Yue’s urgent desire to advance his Divine Rank shows that personal growth is directly tied to survival in the coming war.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue observes the Fallen Life Transcender and interprets its actions, connecting the opened rift to the mysterious war announcement.
• He questions Cloud Emperor about the identity of the opposing heavens; Cloud Emperor reassures him that neither gateway leads to the Three Thousand Dao Heavens.
• Li Yue convenes the Half-step Transcendences, gives them their mission, and receives their agreement.
• Gray Valley advocates investigating the enemy before fighting, and Li Yue adopts this cautious approach.
• The chapter establishes a clear hierarchy: the gathered experts respect Li Yue as their God Lord, while Li Yue relies on their knowledge and abilities to prepare for the coming conflict.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• He rallies the Gods and Devils by emphasizing their innate superiority and their belief that the Ten Thousand Races exist as nourishment for them. The legion responds enthusiastically, pledging to fight and conquer under his leadership.

• In the Three Thousand Origin Rivers, the ruler of the Origin Heavenly Court learns of the upcoming three-versus-three conflict. Hoping the enemy worlds possess inheritances connected to Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi, he awakens numerous ancient subordinates who have been sleeping since the distant past.
• The awakening of these ancient beings shakes the Three Thousand Origin Rivers and terrifies many powerful figures of the current age.
• Li Yue considers his advancement to the Dao-Wielding Divine Rank. He concludes that reaching the “two” level of the Super Divine Ranks may represent the ultimate limit of the established Divine Ranks.
• He lists the four requirements for advancement: twenty billion World Divine Power, forty-nine Mystic Mirror Crystals from the Profound Mirror Land, forty-nine strands of Ancient Godlight from the Ancient God Land, and a living sacrifice to the Divine Path.
• Li Yue already possesses the required World Divine Power. He plans to capture a top-tier Half-step Transcendence lifeform as the sacrifice, hoping this will produce an exceptionally powerful Dao-Wielding Divine Artifact.

Character Developments

• Gu Yang is presented as an ambitious and commanding leader. He embraces the superiority of the Gods and Devils and openly seeks domination over the other worlds, shifting from preparation to active military mobilization.
• Adu and Luming are established as trusted, powerful commanders who immediately accept Gu Yang’s orders to conduct reconnaissance.
• The Origin Heavenly Emperor reveals himself as a patient but highly dangerous strategist. Rather than reacting defensively, he awakens his ancient forces and prepares to test whether the opposing worlds can challenge his Heavenly Court.
• Li Yue demonstrates careful planning and a growing awareness of the limits of the Divine system. He is also willing to pursue extreme measures, including sacrificing a powerful living being, to secure a superior artifact.

Significant Themes

• War and conquest: The chapter introduces a large-scale conflict between multiple supreme worlds and frames it as an inevitable struggle for dominance.
• Racial superiority and imperial ambition: Gu Yang’s speech reflects the Gods and Devils’ belief that they are naturally superior and entitled to rule the Ten Thousand Races.

• Limits and transcendence: Li Yue’s reflections emphasize that the Dimension Divine Rank may be the endpoint of known Divine Ranks, while anything beyond it must be created individually by those who reach the limit.
• Inheritance and destiny: The competing worlds may all be connected to the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Lord Zhi, making the war partly a contest over ancient legacies and hidden opportunities.
• Power gained through sacrifice: Advancement on the Divine Path requires a living sacrifice, highlighting the brutal costs associated with reaching higher realms.

Character Interactions

• Gu Yang directly addresses and inspires the Gods and Devils Legion, creating a bond of loyalty through shared ambition and racial pride.
• He gives Adu and Luming a clear military mission, establishing them as subordinate commanders acting on his authority.
• The Origin Heavenly Emperor does not yet meet his enemies directly, but his will reaches across the Origin Rivers and awakens his ancient generals, including Modo, who proudly identifies himself as the Heavenly Emperor’s number-one general.
• Li Yue’s section is primarily introspective: he evaluates the requirements for advancement, weighs the value of different sacrifices, and anticipates the unique Dao-Wielding Divine Artifact he may obtain.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue prepares to leave the Three Thousand Dimensions for the Profound Mirror Land and Ancient God Land, where he will await advancement to the Dao-Wielding Divine Rank.
• Because War Mode has begun and the passageways may become unstable, Li Yue instructs Gray Valley to defend the Three Thousand Dimensions during his absence.
• Gray Valley promises to sacrifice his current avatar and summon a portion of the Gray Valley Ark’s power if an enemy beyond their ability to resist appears, even though doing so would prevent him from creating future avatars and subject him to a harsher seal.
• After more than six hundred years of accumulation, Li Yue’s reserves reach 130 billion World Divine Power. This allows him to activate his ten-thousand-fold Combat Power twenty-six times, greatly improving its endurance.
• Li Yue enters the Profound Mirror Land, where all external extraordinary powers are automatically transformed into Mystic Cards.
• He examines cards representing his cultivation, secret arts, and treasures. Each has a limited duration due to the Profound Mirror Land’s Transcendent Time Limit, after which the user becomes mortal.
• Several of Li Yue’s strongest abilities—including Infinite Battle Power, the Super Heaven Seed, and the Prototype of the Myriad Dao Ancient Lamp—do not become cards, suggesting they exceed the Profound Mirror Land’s limits.
• Li Yue discovers that his Endless Amplification talent can affect Mystic Cards. He activates it and amplifies every card three thousandfold, including rare Quasi-Transcendence-grade and Transcendence-grade treasure cards.
• By retaining one copy of each card, he can preserve the original treasures after leaving the Profound Mirror Land, effectively gaining thousands of uses without permanent loss.

Character Developments

• Li Yue demonstrates increasing confidence and strategic preparation. He recognizes the importance of advancing his Divine Rank and strengthening himself enough to face the leader of the Three Thousand Dao Heavens and other comparable enemies.
• His accumulated power and long-term rule over several major factions show that his influence and resources have expanded considerably.
• Li Yue’s ability to exploit the Mystic Card system through Endless Amplification reveals another exceptional advantage of his talents. His amused reaction—“I really never meant to cheat”—emphasizes his awareness that he has found a loophole in the land’s rules.
• Gray Valley displays deep loyalty and readiness for self-sacrifice. He is also increasingly hopeful about Li Yue’s future, believing that Li Yue’s advancement could elevate the entire Azure Cloud Sea Lineage to unprecedented heights.

• Loyalty and sacrifice: Gray Valley is willing to destroy his own avatar and endure severe consequences to protect Li Yue’s domains.
• Transcending established limits: Li Yue’s talents surpass the normal boundaries of both the Three Thousand Dimensions and the Profound Mirror Land.
• Resourcefulness and rule exploitation: Rather than merely adapting to the Mystic Card Dao, Li Yue discovers how to use his amplification talent to multiply its resources on an absurd scale.
• Power and potential: Gray Valley’s reflections highlight how extraordinary Li Yue is, even compared with the strongest beings in High Heaven, and foreshadow his possible rise to an unprecedented level.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue gives Gray Valley solemn defensive orders before departing.
• Gray Valley reassures Li Yue, offering a desperate last-resort plan involving the Gray Valley Ark.
• Gray Valley expresses excitement about Li Yue’s coming advancement and imagines the future glory of their Azure Cloud Sea Lineage.

Chapter Summary: Graveyard Above High Heaven, Land of Ancient Caches

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue arrives in North Slope City, a highly modernized metropolis within the Profound Mirror Land. He recognizes that this apparent modern world is only the first of countless layers in a mysterious, mirror-like realm.
• A member of the Night Watchers, the Profound Mirror Land’s official and most powerful organization, approaches Li Yue and registers him as a visitor from the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• The Night Watcher explains three ways to obtain

Mystic Mirror Crystals

1. Become a Night Watchers guest elder and receive crystals slowly but safely.
2. Hunt Origin Demon Lifeforms in the 352nd World.
3. Open dangerous Ancient Caches in the 1,893rd World for a faster reward.

• Despite warnings that even Dao-wielding outsiders have died while opening Ancient Caches, Li Yue chooses the third method.
• His confidence comes from the fact that his Mystic Cards have been amplified three thousandfold, giving him large reserves of powerful defensive, offensive, and escape abilities.
• The Night Watcher escorts Li Yue to the 1,893rd World, where extreme suppression stabilizes the void and time. Outsiders must also pay one Mystic Mirror Crystal for every cosmic era they remain there.
• Li Yue observes that the entire world is covered in vast numbers of grave mounds. These graves are the Ancient Caches, each potentially containing valuable treasures—or catastrophic dangers.
• After arriving at a floating city, Li Yue is told to choose any cache and claim his rewards at the Ancient Vault Pavilion. The Night Watcher leaves him to begin.
• Li Yue suspects that the grave mounds are literal tombs belonging to powerful beings who died across higher worlds, connecting them to an ominous ballad about the Profound Mirror Land becoming a graveyard for the “proud bones of High Heaven.”

Character Developments

• Li Yue displays calmness, confidence, and strategic decisiveness. Rather than choosing a safe or conventional method, he selects the fastest and most dangerous path because his amplified Mystic Cards give him unusual protection.
• His decision shows that he has become far more powerful and prepared than previous outsiders, making dangers that would normally be fatal potentially manageable.
• The Night Watcher, Lin Qi, is polite and professional but clearly experienced with the dangers of the Profound Mirror Land. His warnings suggest genuine concern, though the organization’s true motives remain uncertain.
• Li Yue’s awareness of the Night Watchers’ terrifying reputation reinforces his caution and suspicion toward the organization.

Significant Themes

• Danger versus reward: The chapter emphasizes that the fastest route to power carries the greatest risk, while safe methods are slow and limited.
• Hidden reality beneath appearances: The modern city is only a superficial first layer of a much deeper and more mysterious realm.
• Power and preparation: Li Yue’s confidence comes not from recklessness alone, but from the extraordinary resources created by his amplified Mystic Cards.
• Mystery of death and ruins: The Ancient Caches may be the graves of powerful beings from higher worlds, suggesting that the Profound Mirror Land is built upon the remains of countless fallen existences.
• The limits of knowledge: No one knows how many layers the Profound Mirror Land contains or what truly lies at its highest levels.
• Institutional ambiguity: The Night Watchers claim to preserve peace, but their immense power and secrecy leave their true intentions uncertain.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue and Lin Qi: Lin Qi respectfully registers Li Yue, presents the available options, and repeatedly warns him about the dangers of opening Ancient Caches. Li Yue listens but firmly makes his own decision.
• Their exchange establishes a contrast between Lin Qi’s cautious, official stance and Li Yue’s composed confidence.
• Lin Qi ultimately respects Li Yue’s autonomy, escorts him to the 1,893rd World, explains its rules, and leaves him to face the Ancient Caches alone.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• He suspects the Night Watchers Organization’s policy of allowing outsiders to open the caches conceals a major danger.
• A woman named Xuanji offers information in exchange for a Dao-wielding Grade treasure Mystic Card. Li Yue pays without hesitation.
• Xuanji warns that:
  • Ancient Caches contain terrifying soul attacks.
  • Entrants must carry a Dao-wielding Grade soul-defense treasure.
  • If a cache contains a Dimension-level entity or treasure, they should flee immediately.

• Inside, Li Yue encounters more than a thousand gigantic Skull Mounds that transform into monsters. He effortlessly destroys them with Dimension-level power.
• A Dao-wielding Grade treasure chest appears, and Li Yue discovers that his Endless Amplification talent can activate again within the Profound Mirror Land.
• This leads him to suspect that the Profound Mirror Land may be connected to his talent, the Divine Path, or both.
• Xuanji and the other eight attackers arrive and demand all of Li Yue’s Mystic Cards, threatening that death inside the cache will turn him into an Ancient Cache Evil Spirit.
• Li Yue calmly accepts the threat as an opportunity to investigate and suppresses all nine attackers with overwhelming Dimension-level divine might.

Character Developments

• Li Yue displays extreme confidence, generosity, and strategic curiosity. He treats Dao-wielding Grade treasures as expendable and remains unafraid of the Ancient Caches’ dangers.
• His perception allows him to detect the sinister, yin-corrupted aura surrounding Xuanji and her group, though he does not yet know whether it comes from them or the caches.
• Li Yue’s discovery that Endless Amplification is unusually active in this realm deepens the mystery surrounding his talent and suggests a potentially important connection to the Profound Mirror Land.
• Xuanji presents herself as an informant but is revealed to be a manipulator and ambusher. Her group targets wealthy entrants and fears the Great Evil Spirit controlling them.
• The attackers’ confidence collapses once Li Yue reveals his true strength.

Significant Themes

• Hidden danger beneath apparent opportunity: Ancient Caches promise valuable treasures but conceal soul attacks, powerful entities, and possible transformation into evil spirits.
• Knowledge versus experience: Li Yue rejects secondhand warnings and enters a cache personally to verify the truth.
• Power concealed behind appearances: Xuanji mistakes Li Yue for a vulnerable “fat sheep,” while his true strength vastly exceeds that of ordinary Dimension-level beings.
• Mysteries of fate and connection: The repeated activation of Endless Amplification suggests that the Profound Mirror Land may be linked to Li Yue’s deepest abilities or the Divine Path.
• Exploitation and coercion: Xuanji’s group robs outsiders to gain resources while themselves being trapped under the influence of the Great Evil Spirit.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue bargains with Xuanji, exchanging a Dao-wielding Grade treasure Mystic Card for her knowledge.
• Xuanji and her companions secretly plot to ambush him after recognizing his apparent wealth.
• Li Yue independently notices Xuanji’s corrupted aura and remains wary of her.
• Inside the Ancient Cache, the group confronts Li Yue and demands his Mystic Cards.
• Xuanji attempts to intimidate him by invoking the fate of becoming an Ancient Cache Evil Spirit, but Li Yue turns the threat into an opportunity for study.
• The chapter ends with Li Yue effortlessly forcing Xuanji and the eight attackers to kneel, establishing his overwhelming superiority.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue reveals a Dimension-level Mystic Card, shocking the nine Taboo Lives who had ambushed him. Their group had successfully killed more than thirty Taboo Lives over countless kalpas, but had never encountered someone with such overwhelming resources.
• The group’s leader reveals that they were only one sacrifice away from completing a bargain with a Great Evil Spirit. They had already sacrificed thirty-five Taboo Lives and needed Li Yue as the thirty-sixth.
• Li Yue ignores their threats and destroys all nine attackers. Using the Soul Origin Great Dao and the Soul-Seeking Art, he searches their souls and extracts their memories.
• From their memories, he learns that:
  • Gates to the Profound Mirror realm sometimes appear in different heavens and earths.
  • A supreme treasure called the Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate is hidden within the realm.
  • The treasure can double the effects of any treasure at the Transcendence-grade Second Layer or below.
  • Five of the nine Taboo Lives were sent by Transcenders to seek it.
  • The nine were controlled by a Dimension-level Great Evil Spirit, which promised them freedom after they completed the sacrifices.
• Li Yue recognizes that the Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate’s amplification ability resembles his own Endless Amplification talent, suggesting a deeper connection between the two.
• He uses Three Thousandfold Amplification on a Dao-wielding Grade treasure chest, transforming it into a Half-step Transcendence-grade treasure chest.
• He discovers that the chest may be amplified again after twenty-four hours, potentially producing a nine-million-fold cumulative amplification. Rather than open it immediately, he decides to wait.
• Before the waiting period ends, a gigantic face appears in the sky and angrily accuses Li Yue of being a “Sinful God” who has stolen the Venerable One’s possessions, ordering him to kneel and kowtow.

Character Developments

• Li Yue demonstrates overwhelming confidence and power. Unlike ordinary cultivators, he possesses thousands of Mystic Cards and can use them almost without limitation.
• His mastery of the Soul Origin Great Dao and Soul-Seeking Art allows him to uncover the hidden conspiracy surrounding the Great Evil Spirit and the Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate.
• Li Yue becomes increasingly excited by the possibility that the Profound Mirror realm is uniquely suited to his amplification abilities and may represent his “Heavenly Mandate.”
• The nine attackers are exposed as desperate pawns rather than true masterminds. Their fear, regret, and resentment—especially toward Xuanji—reveal the fragility of their alliance.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming preparation versus limited resources: Li Yue’s enormous supply of Mystic Cards contrasts with the attackers’ strict dependence on cooldowns and limited opportunities.
• Fate, luck, and opportunity: The Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate suggests that luck may matter as much as cultivation in obtaining supreme treasures.
• Hidden connections and destiny: The similarity between the Heavenly Mandate’s amplification ability and Li Yue’s Endless Amplification talent hints that his presence in the Profound Mirror realm may be fated.
• Manipulation and false freedom: The Great Evil Spirit promises the nine creatures freedom, but Li Yue suspects that even after fulfilling their bargain, they would likely have remained expendable tools.
• Power and arrogance: The mysterious Venerable One’s accusation introduces a new force that appears confident enough to demand Li Yue’s submission, setting up a confrontation between competing forms of supreme authority.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue and the nine Taboo Lives: He calmly interrogates them after overpowering them, while they respond with fear, hostility, and threats. The leader tries to intimidate him by claiming he will die inside the Ancient Cache, but Li Yue instead extracts their memories.
• Xuanji and the other attackers: The group blames Xuanji for choosing Li Yue as their final sacrifice. Their unity collapses once they realize his true strength.
• Li Yue and the Great Evil Spirit: Though they do not meet directly, Li Yue reconstructs the spirit’s scheme from the attackers’ memories and questions its motives and ability to evade the Night Watchers.
• Li Yue and the Venerable One: The chapter ends with the arrival of a massive, furious entity accusing him of stealing its possessions and demanding submission, creating an immediate cliffhanger.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue confronts a majestic, sinister entity that accuses him of stealing a possession belonging to a “Sin God” or “Venerable One.” He identifies it as an Evil Spirit and easily overwhelms it with Dimension-level power, causing it to flee.
• A second Evil Spirit, appearing as an enormous ancient tree, attacks with countless roots. Li Yue uses the Quasi-Transcendence-grade domain treasure Bronze City of All Beings, but the Evil Spirit still escapes.
• More Evil Spirits repeatedly appear and retreat whenever they sense Li Yue’s strength. This leads him to suspect that their first escape may be guaranteed and that they possess a form of “Undying” nature.
• Li Yue theorizes that the Profound Mirror Land may be a gigantic mirror and that the Evil Spirits could be mirror images rather than ordinary living beings.
• After remaining in the Ancient Cache for twenty-four hours, Li Yue amplifies its Half-step Transcendence-grade treasure chest twice using his Endless Amplification talent. It transforms into a Transcendence-grade chest.
• Instead of a powerful Supreme Treasure, the chest contains a dull, thumb-sized gray fragment. Though disappointed, Li Yue believes an item produced by two amplifications cannot be ordinary.
• He leaves the Ancient Cache and begins systematically opening more caches to obtain Mystic Mirror Crystals. After seven days, he has opened seven caches and collected seven similar fragments.

Character Development

• Li Yue remains calm and analytical despite encountering mysterious beings capable of evading even his strongest attacks. His confidence in his own power is balanced by growing caution and curiosity.
• His understanding of the Profound Mirror Land evolves from simple exploration into a broader investigation of its origin, the nature of the Ancient Caches, and the meaning of the Evil Spirits’ “Undying” trait.
• His faith in the Endless Amplification talent strengthens. Rather than dismissing the fragments as worthless, he assumes their repeated appearance indicates a hidden and significant purpose.

Significant Themes

• Mystery and hidden origins: The chapter raises questions about the Profound Mirror Land, the Ancient Caches, the Night Watchers’ motives, and the identity of the Venerable One.
• Limits of immortality: Li Yue questions whether anything—including the supposedly Undying Evil Spirits—can truly be eternal.
• Power versus understanding: Although Li Yue can repel the Evil Spirits, he cannot capture or fully comprehend them, showing that overwhelming strength does not solve every mystery.
• Fragments and reconstruction: The repeated fragments suggest that broken or hidden origins may be reassembled into something greater, possibly a complete Profound Mirror.
• Expectation versus reality: Li Yue expects an extraordinary treasure but receives seemingly ordinary fragments, emphasizing that true value may be concealed.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue directly challenges the first Evil Spirit’s accusation, refusing to submit or plead guilty. His display of Dimension-level power immediately changes the creature’s arrogant attitude into fear.
• He battles the ancient-tree Evil Spirit indirectly through the Bronze City of All Beings, but the creature escapes rather than being defeated.
• The interactions between Li Yue and the Evil Spirits establish a pattern: they appear hostile and terrifying, yet retreat once they recognize his strength.
• After returning to Yiming City, Li Yue ignores the astonished observers and focuses on his objective—opening seven Ancient Caches to obtain forty-nine Mystic Mirror Crystals and secure the option to leave the Profound Mirror Land.

Chapter Summary

Li Yue completes his seventh Ancient Cache and prepares to travel to the Night Watchers Organization’s headquarters in the 999th World Layer. His immediate goal is to exchange the fragments he has gathered for forty-nine Mystic Mirror Crystals, which would greatly advance his path toward the Dao-Wielding Divine Rank.
Before he can enter the teleportation array, a mysterious old man warns him not to go to the Night Watchers headquarters, claiming that he will be killed there. The old man reveals that the organization may be controlled or founded by Great Evil Spirits. According to him, the Ancient Caches are being opened to release more Evil Spirits, while exceptionally talented outsiders like Li Yue may be used as vessels for them. He claims to be a native of the Profound Mirror Land whose clan was destroyed after one of its members released the Evil Spirits. However, he disappears mysteriously before Li Yue can determine whether his story is true.
Soon afterward, Wang Bo, a righteous-looking Night Watchers member whom Li Yue has met before, warns him not to believe the old man. Wang Bo identifies the old man as a terrifying Great Evil Spirit who mentally corrupts Taboo Lifeforms and turns them into servants. This creates a direct contradiction: both the old man and Wang Bo accuse the other side of being an Evil Spirit. Li Yue remains skeptical, recognizing that either one—or possibly both—could be deceiving him.
Li Yue asks Wang Bo about the Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate, the supreme treasure of the Profound Mirror Land. Wang Bo explains that outsiders must fulfill three conditions to obtain it: open more than one hundred Ancient Caches, kill more than one hundred Origin Demon Lifeforms, and enter the 3,600th World Layer to retrieve a specific item. Once completed, these achievements can be exchanged with the Night Watchers Organization for the treasure.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Li Yue remains cautious and analytical. Rather than accepting either account, he weighs the contradictory claims and suspects the Profound Mirror Land conceals a much larger conspiracy.
• The mysterious old man presents himself as a tragic survivor of the native race, but his sinister aura, strange disappearance, and unverifiable story make his true identity uncertain.
• Wang Bo appears as a helpful and upright representative of the Night Watchers Organization, yet his warning may itself be manipulation. His interaction with Li Yue deepens the uncertainty surrounding the organization.
• The confrontation between the old man’s warning and Wang Bo’s counter-warning establishes a tense psychological conflict in which Li Yue cannot identify the genuine threat.

Significant Themes

• Deception and unreliable information: Both sides accuse each other of being Evil Spirits, leaving truth impossible to verify.
• Identity and possession: Talented outsiders may become vessels for Evil Spirits, threatening their autonomy and turning their own abilities against them.
• Hidden history: The possibility that the Profound Mirror Land once belonged to a native race adds a buried historical dimension to the Ancient Caches and the Night Watchers.
• Ambition versus danger: Li Yue’s desire for Mystic Mirror Crystals and the Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate forces him to continue pursuing rewards despite the possibility that the entire system is designed to exploit him.
• The Profound Mirror Land as a realm of layered secrets: Fragments, Ancient Caches, Evil Spirits, native survivors, and the Night Watchers Organization appear interconnected, but their true relationship remains unresolved.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue learns that one requirement for obtaining a Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate is finding a fragment in the 3,600th World Layer. The fragment shown by the Night Watchers Organization resembles one he previously acquired, suggesting that the Profound Mirror Land may be a shattered, higher-level object whose pieces are being collected for reconstruction.
• Instead of immediately traveling to the Night Watchers’ headquarters in the 999th World Layer, Li Yue goes to the Thirty-Fifth-Layer World, the main stronghold of outsiders and the rumored residence of a dormant Transcender.
• The Night Watchers Organization monitors Li Yue after he enters seven Ancient Caches in seven days. They suspect he may have heard or seen the mysterious “Her” and order continued surveillance.
• Li Yue purchases intelligence from an information broker. He learns that the Profound Mirror Land contains six Transcenders:
  • Lord Long Xiang
  • Lord Dao Yuan
  • Four hidden within the Night Watchers Organization
    Dao Yuan is hostile toward the organization, while Long Xiang and Dao Yuan reportedly came from High Heaven.
• When Li Yue asks about Evil Spirits, the broker refuses to answer, implying that the subject is highly secretive or dangerous.
• Li Yue acquires forty-nine Mystic Mirror Crystals from outsiders, then returns to the 1,893rd World to continue opening Ancient Caches.
• Over the next century, he opens 36,500 Ancient Caches and obtains the same number of fragments.
• He discovers that the fragments can consume Evil Spirits. Each fragment can devour up to ten, after which it changes from gray to gold. Li Yue suspects that a fragment becomes complete once it has absorbed enough Evil Spirits.
• At the end of the century, the Night Watchers Organization summons him to meet Third Deputy Leader Gu Ming, likely because no Evil Spirits have escaped from the Caches despite Li Yue’s massive activity.
• Li Yue accepts, intending to investigate the organization’s leaders, determine whether they are Evil Spirits, discover whether they want to possess his body, and uncover the true purpose of the golden fragments.

Character Developments

• Li Yue becomes increasingly confident and strategic. He conceals his recognition of the fragments and carefully gathers information without revealing his suspicions.
• His understanding of the fragments advances significantly: he learns they can devour Evil Spirits and may transform into a completed or more powerful state.
• Li Yue remains cautious about the Night Watchers Organization but is not intimidated. His vast supply of Transcendence-grade Mystic Cards gives him confidence that he can escape or defend himself even against multiple Transcenders.
• He shifts from passive investigation to direct confrontation by agreeing to meet the organization’s upper leadership.

Significant Themes

• Hidden origins and cosmic destruction: The fragments suggest that the Profound Mirror Land may be the remains of a shattered higher-dimensional entity or artifact.
• Power concealed beneath appearances: The Night Watchers Organization publicly claims to have two Transcenders but secretly possesses four, while the truth about Evil Spirits is deliberately suppressed.
• Accumulation leading to transformation: Li Yue’s repeated opening of Ancient Caches and the fragments’ absorption of Evil Spirits point toward gradual evolution and eventual completion.
• Trust and suspicion: Nearly every faction hides information, forcing Li Yue to rely on observation, purchased intelligence, and independent deductions.
• Preparation for confrontation: Li Yue’s long period of cultivation and accumulation equips him to face the Night Watchers Organization without fear.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue speaks with a Night Watchers representative, who shows him the fragment connected to the Profound Mirror Heavenly Mandate.
• The Night Watchers’ leadership discusses Li Yue’s actions and orders him to be watched.
• Li Yue negotiates with an elderly intelligence broker, purchasing information about the Transcenders and attempting to learn about Evil Spirits.
• He trades with outsiders to obtain Mystic Mirror Crystals.
• After a hundred years, Wang Bo and another Night Watchers member summon Li Yue to meet Gu Ming. Their invitation marks the beginning of Li Yue’s direct interaction with the organization’s highest-ranking figures.

Chapter Summary

Li Yue arrives in the Profound Mirror Land’s 999th-layer world, a vast, immaculate realm made of transparent glass and sapphire-blue structures. Escorted by members of the Night Watchers Organization, he is brought to the headquarters to meet Gu Ming, the organization’s third vice leader and a powerful Quasi-Transcendent.
Meanwhile, in the chaotic 3,599th-layer world, the ancient Mystic Crystal Clan prepares to wage war against the Night Watchers Organization. Their leader, the gray-robed Mystic Master, believes Li Yue fulfills an ancient prophecy foretelling that a Deity will come to the Profound Mirror Land and bring about its end. Since Li Yue has opened tens of thousands of ancient treasures in the past century and has now entered the Night Watchers’ headquarters, the Mystic Master decides the clan can wait no longer. He awakens the clan’s ancient elders and orders them to mobilize their entire people for an assault on the 999th layer.
In the 888th-layer world, Dao Yuan, a Transcender and leader of the Dao Origin Grand Sect, detects the Mystic Crystal Clan’s movements through his Heavenly Observation Great Dao. He is surprised by their decision to launch a full-scale war, recognizing that their chances of defeating the Night Watchers Organization appear extremely low. However, he sees the conflict as a possible opportunity to weaken or drive out the Night Watchers, allowing him to expand his own influence. Rather than intervene immediately, he chooses to observe and determine what hidden strength has motivated the Mystic Crystal Clan.
Within a pavilion over a jade sea, Li Yue finally meets Gu Ming. Li Yue notices that his golden fragments are resonating inside the headquarters, joining together into roughly one-quarter of a mysterious round mirror. This suggests that he is close to uncovering the truth behind the fragments and their connection to the Night Watchers Organization.
Gu Ming asks whether the Mystic Master told Li Yue that the upper ranks of the Night Watchers are all Great Evil Spirits. Li Yue dismisses the claim as nonsense, but Gu Ming confirms it without hesitation—and chillingly reveals that he himself is also a Great Evil Spirit.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Li Yue remains calm and skeptical, but his awareness that the golden fragments are assembling shows that he is nearing a major discovery.
• Gu Ming is introduced as elegant, composed, and immensely powerful. His final confession radically challenges Li Yue’s assumptions about the Night Watchers.
• The Mystic Master shifts from observation to direct action, convinced that Li Yue is the prophesied figure connected to the destruction of the Profound Mirror Land.
• Dao Yuan reveals himself as a calculating opportunist. He does not immediately support either side, instead waiting to exploit the war for the Dao Origin Grand Sect’s benefit.
• The key interaction is between Li Yue and Gu Ming, whose conversation ends with Gu Ming confirming the organization’s horrifying secret.

Significant Themes

• Prophecy and fate: The Mystic Crystal Clan acts because it believes Li Yue is the figure foretold to end the Profound Mirror Land.
• Hidden identities and moral ambiguity: The Night Watchers Organization, previously presented as a powerful authority, may secretly be composed of Great Evil Spirits.
• Power struggles and opportunism: The coming war is not only a clash between the Mystic Crystal Clan and the Night Watchers; Dao Yuan also sees it as a chance to advance his own agenda.
• Uncovering the truth: Li Yue’s assembling mirror fragments symbolize his growing proximity to the secrets of the world and the Night Watchers’ origins.
• Impending conflict: The Mystic Crystal Clan’s mobilization suggests that a massive battle is about to erupt across the layered worlds.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Night Watchers Organization’s vice leader, Gu Ming, reveals the true origins of the so-called Evil Spirits. They were once beings who died in High Heaven and fell into the Profound Mirror Land, where they became sealed within ancient grave mounds in the “1,893rd World.”
• The Mystic Crystal Clan eventually released some of these beings. The freed Evil Spirits formed the Night Watchers Organization, defeated the Mystic Crystal Clan, and took control of the Profound Mirror Land.
• Gu Ming claims that Li Yue’s body is not possessed by an Evil Spirit but contains the remains or essence of a Heroic Spirit who once died in High Heaven. He intends to seize Li Yue’s body because of its exceptional potential and use it to reach Transcendence.
• Gu Ming attacks Li Yue’s divine soul, but Super Heaven immediately absorbs him.
• Inside Super Heaven, Gu Ming encounters Extirpation Wan’er. He initially threatens her, only to be overwhelmed when she reveals herself to be a powerful Transcender—stronger than the four Transcenders of the Night Watchers Organization.
• Wan’er defeats and torments Gu Ming, effectively turning him into her “number-one lackey.”
• Meanwhile, Li Yue takes control of Gu Ming’s physical body. Although he can use less than thirty percent of its power, the Quasi-Transcendence-grade body is sufficient for him to impersonate Gu Ming.
• Using Gu Ming’s authority, Li Yue enters a heavily guarded building toward which the quarter of the pale golden mirror in his possession is strongly resonating.
• When the building’s gates open, the mirror fragment becomes intensely excited, and the entire Profound Mirror Land begins to tremble, signaling the discovery of something extremely important.

Character Developments

• Li Yue: Demonstrates complete confidence in Super Heaven and his ability to withstand possession. He shifts from defending himself to exploiting Gu Ming’s body and status, showing increasing strategic boldness.
• Gu Ming: Reveals himself as arrogant and obsessed with acquiring Li Yue’s body. His confidence collapses when he encounters Wan’er, exposing the vast difference between Quasi-Transcendence and true Transcendence.
• Extirpation Wan’er: Displays overwhelming power and a mischievous, domineering personality. Despite being unable to leave Super Heaven, she enjoys using Gu Ming as entertainment and immediately subjugates him.
• The Evil Spirits/Night Watchers: Their history is reframed: they are not inherently monstrous beings but former High Heaven inhabitants who emerged from death and imprisonment to become living beings.

Significant Themes

• Death and transformation: The chapter reveals that death in High Heaven can lead to rebirth in the Profound Mirror Land, blurring the boundaries between the dead and the living.
• Identity and possession: Li Yue’s body, Gu Ming’s body, and the former identities of the Evil Spirits all raise questions about whether identity is defined by the body, soul, origin, or current will.
• Arrogance versus true power: Gu Ming assumes his Quasi-Transcendent strength makes him invincible, but his confidence is shattered by Wan’er’s superior realm.
• Hidden worlds and ancient secrets: Super Heaven, the mirror fragment, the grave mounds, and the Profound Mirror Land all appear connected to a much larger history involving High Heaven and lost beings.
• Role reversal: The intended victim becomes the victor. Li Yue not only survives Gu Ming’s attack but takes over his body and uses his authority against the Night Watchers.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue and Gu Ming: Gu Ming attempts to persuade Li Yue to accept his fate before forcibly invading his mind. Li Yue responds with mock confidence, allowing Gu Ming to attack and then letting Super Heaven defeat him.
• Gu Ming and Extirpation Wan’er: Gu Ming arrogantly threatens Wan’er, but she effortlessly suppresses him, humiliates him, and declares him her servant.
• Li Yue and Gu Ming’s body: After Gu Ming’s defeat, Li Yue inhabits and controls his body, using the vice leader’s authority to gain access to a restricted location.
• Li Yue and the guards: The guards mistake Li Yue for Gu Ming and obey his command to open the sealed building, enabling him to investigate the mirror’s resonance.

Unresolved Foreshadowing

• The true nature and origin of the quarter of the pale golden mirror remain unknown.
• The reason the mirror fragment resonates so strongly with the restricted building—and why it reacts with excitement—has yet to be revealed.
• The connection between the mirror, Super Heaven, High Heaven, the Profound Mirror Land, and the ancient grave mounds is still unclear.
• The significance of Li Yue being connected to a Heroic Spirit who died in High Heaven remains unresolved.
• The identity and purpose of the being or power associated with the mysterious location inside the restricted building are likely central to the next development.
• The full history of the Mystic Crystal Clan, the Evil Spirits, and the “1,893rd World” has not yet been uncovered.

Chapter Summary: “Half a Shattered Mirror, Wielding the Authority of the Profound Mirror Land”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Profound Mirror Land begins trembling for the first time in countless years, alerting powerful figures across its many levels.
• Transcender Long Xiang realizes the disturbance likely originates from the 999th level, the location of the Night Watchers Organization’s headquarters, and immediately heads there.
• On the 3,599th level, the Mystic Crystal Clan interprets the anomaly as a sign that their opportunity has arrived. Their leader orders the clan to attack and exterminate the Night Watchers Organization, believing the Profound Mirror will aid them.
• At the headquarters, Leader Yu Man investigates the disappearance of Gu Ming’s aura. Using a time-reversal technique, she discovers that Li Yue entered Gu Ming’s palace, resisted Gu Ming’s attempt to possess him, and ultimately took over Gu Ming’s body.
• Yu Man deduces that Li Yue is a Deity and may be responsible for the Profound Mirror’s disturbance. She and three other Transcenders rush to a central building containing the mirror fragments.
• Li Yue discovers countless golden Profound Mirror fragments filled with evil spirits. When he takes out his existing quarter-mirror, the fragments are drawn toward it and combine with it.
• The resulting artifact contains five-twelfths of a complete mirror—only one-twelfth short of half a mirror—and releases overwhelming golden Radiance.
• Within the Radiance, Li Yue sees the mysterious figure of a young man in glazed robes holding a divine sword. A voice identifies itself as Profound Mirror and grants Li Yue the authority he deserves.
• The shattered mirror forms a direct connection with the Profound Mirror Land, allowing Li Yue to control the authority associated with that portion of the realm. His appearance transforms into a glazed Dao body, complete with feathered robes, a dharma crown, and divine sword.
• The four Night Watchers Transcenders arrive and react with shock and greed. They realize Li Yue has achieved what they failed to accomplish over countless years: condensing a large number of fragments into a functioning shattered mirror.
• Determined to seize the mirror and become masters of the Profound Mirror Land, the four launch simultaneous Transcendence-grade attacks, devastating much of the headquarters and killing numerous members.
• Li Yue recognizes that their combined power is vastly beyond that of the Transcender from the Demonstar Pavilion and prepares to face an overwhelming threat.

Character Developments

• Li Yue advances dramatically by obtaining authority over part of the Profound Mirror Land. His transformation into a glazed Dao body suggests a major increase in power and status.

• The Mystic Crystal Clan emerges as a hostile faction preparing a large-scale assault while the Night Watchers are distracted.
• Profound Mirror, or the consciousness associated with it, directly acknowledges Li Yue and chooses to grant him authority, marking him as a significant successor or favored wielder.

Significant Themes

• Power and legitimacy: True authority over the Profound Mirror Land comes not merely from possessing fragments, but from successfully uniting them and being recognized by the Profound Mirror itself.
• Inheritance and succession: The voice of Profound Mirror granting Li Yue authority implies that power may be passed to a worthy successor rather than seized solely through force.
• Ambition and greed: The Night Watchers’ leaders immediately seek to take the shattered mirror for themselves, showing how the promise of dominion drives them to betray and destroy.
• Transformation and ascension: Li Yue’s glazed Dao body symbolizes his transition from an outsider into someone integrated with the fundamental power of the Profound Mirror Land.
• Instability and upheaval: The shaking realm, the Mystic Crystal Clan’s rebellion, and the destruction of the headquarters signal that the established order is beginning to collapse.

Important Character Interactions

• Long Xiang and the Profound Mirror Land: Long Xiang senses the unprecedented disturbance and begins moving toward its source.
• Mystic Crystal Clan leader and his followers: The leader rallies the clan to reclaim their supposed inheritance, invoking the protection of Lord Profound Mirror.
• Yu Man and Gu Ming’s past: Yu Man reconstructs the confrontation between Gu Ming and Li Yue, uncovering the truth behind Gu Ming’s disappearance.
• Li Yue and Profound Mirror: Profound Mirror recognizes Li Yue and grants him control over the authority connected to the assembled fragments.
• Li Yue and the four Transcenders: After witnessing Li Yue’s transformation, the four attack him to seize the shattered mirror, turning the moment of ascension into an immediate life-or-death confrontation.

Chapter Summary: Five Transcenders Coughing Blood, the Ever-Completing Broken Mirror

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue tests the newly acquired Mystic Mirror Authority by using the defensive technique Profound Mirror Reflection. A giant glazed mirror reflects the attacks of four Transcenders, though it shatters afterward.
• The Transcenders—led by Yu Man—continue attacking, believing Li Yue cannot repeatedly summon the authority due to his limited cultivation.
• Their attacks devastate the 999th-layer world, destroying mountains, palaces, and countless lives. Many evil spirits survive by abandoning their possessed bodies and fleeing.
• Li Yue uses the authority to imprison the fleeing evil spirits, then employs Profound Mirror fragments to devour them. The fragments transform from gray to golden and merge into the broken mirror, gradually restoring it.
• To defend himself while doing this, Li Yue repeatedly deploys vast numbers of Transcendence-grade Mystic Cards, each producing a powerful lotus-shaped defensive platform.
• The attacks of the five Transcenders—including the newly arrived Long Xiang—destroy successive layers of lotus defenses. However, Li Yue continually produces more cards: ten, twenty, thirty, forty, and then fifty platforms.
• The Transcenders become increasingly shocked and enraged by his apparently inexhaustible supply of cards. They continue attacking despite suffering backlash and coughing blood.
• Long Xiang joins the assault after recognizing the restored half of the Profound Mirror, hoping to seize it and become master of the Profound Mirror Land.
• Meanwhile, war spreads across the Profound Mirror Land as the Mystic Crystal Clan and Night Watchers Organization battle throughout countless worlds.
• The chapter ends with Li Yue continuing to absorb golden fragments and strengthening both the mirror and his control over the Mystic Mirror Authority.

Character Developments

• Li Yue becomes increasingly confident and resourceful. Rather than merely defending himself, he uses the battle to gather evil spirits and repair the Profound Mirror.
• His mastery of the Mystic Mirror Authority grows rapidly as more fragments merge with the mirror, suggesting that his power may soon surpass the Transcenders’ expectations.
• Li Yue’s enormous stockpile of Mystic Cards reveals another major advantage: he can sustain prolonged defense even against multiple Transcenders.
• Yu Man remains aggressive and ruthless, caring nothing for the destruction of her own forces or the Night Watchers’ headquarters. Her single-minded objective is to obtain Li Yue’s broken mirror.
• Long Xiang is consumed by ambition after realizing that Li Yue possesses part of the Profound Mirror. He joins the others not out of cooperation, but to claim the mirror and rule the Profound Mirror Land.
• The five Transcenders shift from confidence to disbelief and desperation as Li Yue repeatedly replaces their destroyed defenses.

Significant Themes

• Endurance versus overwhelming force: The Transcenders rely on relentless attacks, while Li Yue counters through preparation, defensive resources, and strategic patience.
• Hidden reserves and underestimated power: The attackers repeatedly assume Li Yue has reached his limit, only to discover that he possesses more Mystic Cards and fragments.
• Power gained through destruction: The collapsing worlds and mass deaths provide the backdrop for Li Yue’s restoration of the Profound Mirror, linking creation and strengthening to catastrophe.
• Ambition and betrayal: Long Xiang and the other Transcenders cooperate only temporarily, united by greed for the Profound Mirror while ultimately competing for its ownership.
• The restoration of a broken legacy: The recurring image of the mirror becoming whole symbolizes Li Yue’s growing authority and the possible return of the Profound Mirror’s former power.

Character Interactions

• Yu Man commands and encourages the other Transcenders, repeatedly urging them to break through Li Yue’s defenses.
• The five Transcenders attack Li Yue together but remain motivated by individual ambitions, especially the desire to obtain the Profound Mirror.
• Li Yue does not directly engage them offensively; instead, he frustrates them by hiding behind successive lotus defenses while secretly repairing the mirror.
• Long Xiang’s arrival intensifies the conflict, transforming the four-against-one assault into a five-against-one struggle.
• The Transcenders’ growing frustration contrasts with Li Yue’s calm silence, emphasizing his psychological advantage as the battle continues.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• After an hour of relentless attacks, the five Transcenders—Long Xiang, Yu Man, Yuan Meng, and two other members of the Night Watchers Organization—stop fighting Li Yue.
• They are shocked and enraged that Li Yue has used more than 1,050 Transcendence-grade Mystic Cards, far exceeding their combined supply. His seemingly endless cards create a defensive “turtle shell” they cannot penetrate.
• The Transcenders realize that Li Yue has likely found a way to duplicate Transcendence-grade Mystic Cards. They also observe that the remnant Profound Mirror in his possession has reached approximately seven-twelfths completion.
• Knowing their empowered state lasts only three hours and that they must conserve time for emergencies, the five Transcenders decide to retreat from Profound Mirror Land.
• Li Yue initially believes they are preparing another attack, but they suddenly flee toward the realm’s boundary.
• Having reached seven-twelfths completion of the Profound Mirror, Li Yue gains complete authority over Profound Mirror Land. He seals its borders with immense Dao patterns, preventing any living being from escaping.
• Li Yue confronts the trapped Transcenders and calmly orders them to remain. Yu Man and Long Xiang threaten to destroy the damaged Profound Mirror Land if forced into a corner, while Yuan Meng warns that all six Transcenders—including Dao Yuan—could join forces to shatter it.
• Dao Yuan, the master of the eighth-hundred-and-eighty-eighth level, emerges from hiding. He had hoped to benefit from the conflict, but now realizes that Li Yue’s control over the realm has made him overwhelmingly powerful.
• To demonstrate his advantage, Li Yue summons another thousand Transcendence-grade Mystic Cards—and then reveals two thousand more. The Transcenders are left stunned and terrified by the seemingly limitless supply.

Character Developments

• Li Yue: Evolves from a Half-step Dao-wielding Deity defending himself with powerful cards into the absolute ruler of Profound Mirror Land. His growing command of the Profound Mirror grants him control over the realm’s rules and makes him effectively invincible within it. He remains composed and even amused by the Transcenders’ retreat.
• Yu Man: Suffers the collapse of her long-prepared plans. She had intended to use Profound Mirror Land to help herself ascend to the Third Transcendence Realm, but Li Yue’s rise has taken control of the land away from her. Her frustration turns into fury and desperate threats.
• Long Xiang: Maintains a defiant, confrontational attitude, threatening to destroy Profound Mirror Land rather than submit to Li Yue.
• Yuan Meng: Acts pragmatically, recognizing earlier than the others that the situation cannot be resolved through force. He orders the retreat and later attempts to use Dao Yuan and the combined strength of the Transcenders as leverage.
• Dao Yuan: Shifts from a hidden observer hoping to profit from the conflict to a trapped participant forced to confront Li Yue’s overwhelming authority.

Significant Themes

• Power through control of rules: Li Yue’s victory does not come merely from personal strength, but from acquiring authority over the laws of Profound Mirror Land.
• Resource inequality and overwhelming preparation: The Transcenders’ confidence collapses when faced with Li Yue’s inexhaustible supply of Transcendence-grade Mystic Cards.
• The fall of pride: Despite their status and claims of superiority, the Transcenders retreat when they realize they cannot defeat Li Yue.
• Reversal of authority: Yu Man’s carefully constructed plan is overturned, and the realm she intended to exploit becomes Li Yue’s domain.
• Threats versus actual power: The Transcenders threaten to destroy the land, but Li Yue’s calm response and endless cards reveal that their intimidation may no longer matter.

Character Interactions

• The five Transcenders debate whether to continue attacking or withdraw, with Yuan Meng ultimately advocating retreat.

Chapter Summary: “Subduing Six Transcenders, Profound Mirror Guardians”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue reveals 2,000 offensive Transcendence-grade Mystic Cards, each powerful enough to rival the full-force attack of a Transcender who has fused more than eighteen Origin Great Daos. He also possesses 1,000 defensive Mystic Cards.
• The six Transcenders—Long Xiang, Yuan Meng, Dao Yuan, Yu Man, and two other Night Watchers—are shocked and realize they cannot defeat or resist Li Yue.
• They quickly abandon their hostile attitudes and begin flattering Li Yue, claiming that their previous confrontation was only a test or playful exchange.
• Li Yue offers them a choice: become Profound Mirror Guardians, a special position tied to the Profound Mirror Land.
• Each Guardian would gain three percent of the land’s authority, increasing their strength within it. However, they would also be bound to the Profound Mirror Land and would live or die with it.
• Li Yue explains that if the Profound Mirror Land eventually advances into a Higher Heaven, the Guardians could also advance into the Second Transcendence Realm.
• Although the six Transcenders initially fear being permanently bound to a single world, they recognize that refusing would likely result in Li Yue overpowering and sealing them.
• Dao Yuan agrees first, followed by Long Xiang and the remaining four Transcenders. All six officially become Profound Mirror Guardians.

• He plans to repair the land, investigate its ultimate secrets, and uncover its possible connection to his “Infinite Amplification” talent.
