Chapter Summaries

Ye Tian reached the stone platform after fighting through a swarm of Sky-Slaying Apes, where he and the surviving cultivators discovered the White Bone Divine Sword inside a black crystal stone. As the cultivators rushed to claim it, a golden sphere exploded and released five golden giants.

• Ye Tian used the Azure Resolution Cloud Piercing Sword to kill more than twenty Sky-Slaying Apes and reached the stone platform first, where the creatures pursuing him retreated beneath the water.
• Dongfang Yanruo and several other cultivators survived the crossing and joined Ye Tian on the platform, while many others died in the water.
• The Wuri Sect envoy broke a corner off the black crystal stone and revealed the hilt of the White Bone Divine Sword, prompting the cultivators to compete for it.

• As the cultivators rushed toward the black crystal stone, golden characters gathered into a sphere that exploded and released five golden giants.

Ye Tian broke the black crystal stone, took the White Bone Divine Sword, and used it to destroy the five golden giants. After recovering, he refused to give the sword or the Nine-Colored Qiankun Cauldrons to the Barefoot Cultivator, who revealed Ye Tian's identity as a descendant of the Ye family to Dongfang Yanruo and the Wuri Sect's honored envoy.

• The five golden giants attacked the cultivators, killing nearly everyone while Ye Tian struggled to hold one off with the Azure Resolution Cloud Piercing Sword.

• After half a day of healing, Ye Tian refused the Barefoot Cultivator's demand for the divine sword and the Nine-Colored Qiankun Cauldrons.
• The Barefoot Cultivator revealed that Ye Tian was a descendant of the Ye family, and Dongfang Yanruo and the Wuri Sect's honored envoy turned to look at him.

Ye Tian learned more about the Nine-Colored Qiankun Cauldrons, escaped the secret chamber with Dongfang Yanruo, and discovered the White Bone Divine Sword’s sword art in an immortal’s autobiography. He then offered his swords in exchange for cauldrons, provoking the cultivators to fight over the four on offer.

• Ye Tian killed the Wuri Sect envoy, then questioned the Barefoot Cultivator about the Nine-Colored Qiankun Cauldrons and spared him, but a black humanoid figure killed the Barefoot Cultivator moments later.

• A cultivator traded an orange cauldron for the Azure Resolution Cloud Piercing Sword, convincing the crowd that Ye Tian was sincere.
• When four more cauldrons were brought forward, Ye Tian demanded all four for the White Bone Divine Sword, and the cultivators began fighting to seize them.

Ye Tian claimed the White Bone Divine Sword and all nine Nine-Colored Qiankun Cauldrons, then learned of another supreme treasure hidden in a secret realm. After rescuing Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan from Nangong Family cultivators, he entered the realm with them, where they began searching cave-filled mountains for the treasure.

• Ye Tian took the four Nine-Colored Qiankun Cauldrons from the Lingxiao Sect's Great Elder, revealed his identity, and defeated him with the White Bone Divine Sword, killing him.
• Ye Tian rescued the little Ginseng Spirit from Sky-Slaying Apes and learned that Black Soul Old Demon was hunting her and that another supreme treasure lay in a secret realm.

Ye Tian followed Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan into a vast desert, where they became lost while pursuing a mysterious green light. When a giant lizard attacked, Ye Tian killed it, but the three remained stranded in the dangerous desert.

• Ye Tian warned Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan not to enter the desert, but they ignored him and headed toward a dazzling green light.
• Ye Tian joined them and flew toward the light, but after a day of flight they had made no progress and could no longer find the entrance.
• Ye Tian sensed a creature beneath the sand and forced Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan to retreat while he faced it.

Ye Tian and his companions survived the Cloud Cat’s rampage, but the beast took the White Bone Divine Sword before returning to its desert lair. Guided out of the desert by a Sky-Slaying Ape, Ye Tian, Su Kaiyu, and Gongyang Yuhan found themselves trapped in the Nine Dragons Five Elements Pillar.

• Ye Tian stopped attacking the cultivators when the desert split open and forced them to transfer their spiritual power to him as an ancient Cloud Cat awakened.
• The Cloud Cat killed the other cultivators, while Ye Tian used the White Bone Divine Sword to divert it from Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan.
• Ye Tian’s swords could not injure the Cloud Cat, which caught the White Bone Divine Sword in its teeth before leaping back into the crack and disappearing.
• Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan found Ye Tian alive, and a voice sent a Sky-Slaying Ape to lead the three out of the desert.
• The Sky-Slaying Ape led the three into the Nine Dragons Five Elements Pillar and vanished, leaving them inside a place with no visible exit.

Ye Tian entered the Nine Dragons Five Elements Pillar’s illusion, learned how its five-element formation worked, and left Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan hiding while he scouted ahead. After turning a group of crimson demonic beasts into a potential trump card, he reached the mountaintop and encountered the Nangong Family, including a powerful young heir.

• The Nine Dragons Five Elements Pillar transported Ye Tian, Su Kaiyu, and Gongyang Yuhan into an illusory mountain realm and warned that anyone who failed to reach the next level would die.
• Su Kaiyu hid with Gongyang Yuhan in a cave, while Ye Tian explained how the formation’s five-element colors could reveal which opponents to avoid or attack.

• Ye Tian reached the mountaintop and found the Nangong Family banner beside shattered puppets and a young warrior who had defeated them.
• The Nangong Family disciples mocked Ye Tian and threatened to kill him for his treasures, while Ye Tian suspected their thick-browed, late Core Formation leader might be the family’s future successor.

Ye Tian used Falcon-shaped Firebirds to lure eight Crimson Flame Bears into attacking the Nangong Family, leaving its members badly injured. The Nangong Family tracked Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan to their cave, where Su Kaiyu warned the Young Master to flee, but he mocked the warning.

• Ye Tian discovered that the Nangong Family's Geng Metal attacks could not harm him, then sent Falcon-shaped Firebirds to provoke Li Fire-attributed bears and lead them to the family.
• The Crimson Flame Bears overwhelmed the Nangong Family, killed several members, and wounded others before the survivors escaped.
• The thick-browed youth realized Ye Tian had used the bears against them and ordered a search for him and his companions.
• A dark-skinned youth led the Nangong Family to a concealed cave where Su Kaiyu and Gongyang Yuhan were hiding, but Ye Tian was absent.
• Su Kaiyu called himself bait and warned the Nangong Family's Young Master to escape, but the Young Master laughed at him.

Ye Tian found Su Kaiyu badly wounded and Gongyang Yuhan pretending to be a victim, then discovered her betrayal when she tried to stab him. He fought through the Nangong Family’s ambush and fled up the mountain, where the Black Soul Old Demon appeared in his path.

• Su Kaiyu lied that the Taiji Sect and Ling Tian Sect had joined forces against the Nangong Family, but the Nangong Family’s young master dismembered him and spared Gongyang Yuhan.
• Ye Tian reached the cave and heard Gongyang Yuhan’s account, but he recognized her story as false and caught her attempted dagger attack.

• Five Nangong Family pursuers chased Ye Tian up the mountain, where the Black Soul Old Demon appeared before him.

Ye Tian confronted the Black Soul Old Demon, who forced him to open the Ye Family’s Boundless Treasure Box and seize the Boundless Immortal Arts.

• Ye Tian activated the nine Nine-Colored Qiankun Cauldrons and wished to travel to the demon’s birth era and kill him.
• The cauldrons transported Ye Tian and the demon to the past, where Ye Tian roasted and ate the infant Sky-reaching Young Rat that would have become the Black Soul Old Demon.
• Ye Tian returned to his era and left the hidden treasure site, where the Boundless Immortal Arts remained and the cauldrons and White Bone Divine Sword had disappeared.

At Ling Tian Sect, Ye Tian tried to provoke Nangong Qiming into letting him leave, but Nangong Qiming saw through his plan and prepared to attack.

• Ye Tian judged that Time Stasis and his improved Immortal Slaying Sword Art might let him kill Nangong Qiming, but feared being stranded after exhausting his spiritual energy; Nangong Qiming then challenged him to take a move.

Ye Tian fought Nangong Qiming, who attacked to seize his treasures, but was caught off guard when Nangong Qiming invaded his sea of consciousness with a divine sense storm. As Ye Tian struggled inside his consciousness, the Town Yue Turtle Mountain Diagram protected his body from Silver Fox, which Nangong Qiming awakened by releasing its sealed Nine-tailed Silver Fox Primordial Spirit.

• Nangong Qiming attacked Ye Tian with his silver sword, and Ye Tian countered by splitting the Azure Decision Cloud Piercing Sword into one hundred and eight azure swords.

Nangong Qiming fled through a blood-red passage, while Ye Tian, drained of spiritual power, sensed numerous cultivators approaching.

• Nangong Qiming used the Nine-tailed Silver Fox and small silver sword to attack Ye Tian, but Ye Tian’s Town Yue Turtle Mountain Diagram trapped the fox’s primordial spirit and his hardened body withstood the sword.
• Ye Tian recovered from his wounds and counterattacked with the Azure Decision Cloud Piercing Sword after the Book of Life and Death dispersed Nangong Qiming’s divine sense storm.
• Nangong Qiming trapped the Azure Decision Cloud Piercing Sword inside an Immortal Sealing Talisman, but Ye Tian used the Heavenly Dipper Annihilation Formation to break the talisman.

• The elder attacked Nangong Jing with skeletal ghost heads, then pierced his cyan barrier with a black thread and cast the God Breaking Curse.
• Nangong Jing recognized the curse and called, “Clouds, come!”

Ye Tian ambushed Nangong Jing and the hunched old man while they were weakened, and killed the old man after Nangong Jing escaped using the Cloud Arrival Sword. At the Ling Tian Sect, the Ghost Daoist refined the corpse into a Nascent Soul Realm puppet and sent Nangong Jin a message about his increased strength.
