Chapter Summaries

After a year of cultivation, Chen Yuan reached Star Level Fifth Rank and raised his Wind Luminaries Body to 81%, but he needed points to view the Purple Glow Inscription again. He decided to leave Purple Glow Star to take missions, and Shi Lan gave him an E3-Class Spaceship and opened the mission system for him.

• Chen Yuan checked his progress after a year of cultivation and judged that his combat strength could rival newly advanced Universe Level fighters.

• Chen Yuan met Shi Lan and explained that he wanted to leave Purple Glow Star to earn points and buy viewing rights.
• Shi Lan offered Chen Yuan an E3-Class Spaceship, arranged for his Nutrient Pod to be moved aboard, and opened the mission system for him.

Chen Yuan selected missions in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Sector and departed Purple Glow Star aboard the Green Fox Ship to stop the killer Butcher. Irel planned a route with time to search for Demon Blade, and the ship entered the Dark Universe bound for Red Sea Star.

• Chen Yuan reviewed missions, chose nine targets within his ability, and kept Demon Blade as a possible backup target because his whereabouts were uncertain.
• Irel planned a route that would return Chen Yuan to Purple Glow Star within three months and placed Butcher, who was massacring people on a planet, first.

• Irel confirmed the ship could reach six times the speed of light and suggested searching for Demon Blade during the return journey if time allowed.
• Chen Yuan set course for Red Sea Star, and the Green Fox Ship left Purple Glow Star and entered the Dark Universe.

Chen Yuan reached Red Sea Star and pursued Butcher, an assassin who had murdered the planet lord and massacred civilians. He killed Butcher with his superior domain and sword, completing the Virtual Universe Company’s wanted mission.

• Chen Yuan arrived at Red Sea Star and asked planet lord Isa Red Kite for Butcher’s location and encounter footage.

• Chen Yuan reported Butcher’s death and received confirmation that Wanted Mission No. 198568 was complete, earning 50,000 points.

Chen Yuan hunted down the Blood Hand Society and Ancient Demon Pavilion before reaching Cross Star, where he revealed a Sevenfold Domain while fighting its thousands of members. The ten Universe Level leaders attacked together, only to realize Chen Yuan had been baiting them.

• Chen Yuan reached Water Shine Star and began fighting Cross Star's five thousand Star Level core members after the Virtual Universe confirmed they deserved death.
• The ten Universe Level leaders attacked when Chen Yuan appeared to weaken, but Chen Yuan expanded his domain and revealed it was Sevenfold.

• Chen Yuan used Flying Light’s Phantom Bodies to confuse the remaining leaders and killed them one by one, while revealing that he had already eliminated all 236 Star Level Psychic Masters.
• The scar-faced leader burned his soul to reach the strength of a Universe Level Fourth Rank fighter and challenged Chen Yuan to a direct clash.
• Chen Yuan defeated the scar-faced leader with Three-Foot Water, and the leader acknowledged his loss before dying.

Chen Yuan eliminated the remaining Cross Star members and completed the wanted mission, then gathered the spoils and discovered a Gray Dim Crystal in the scar-faced leader’s Space Ring. With enough points to study the Purple Glow Inscription and a key treasure for his cultivation, he chose to return to Purple Glow Star instead of pursuing Demon Blade.

• Chen Yuan killed the remaining Cross Star members and received 301,450 points for completing Wanted Mission No. 16358.
• Chen Yuan learned that optimizing the Green Fox Ship would cost 13 billion Kill Points and decided to seek an A-grade ship instead.
• Chen Yuan had Irel inventory the Space Rings, which contained spoils worth about 32 billion Universe Coins, and placed a B2-grade ship in the optimization slot.
• Irel found a Gray Dim Crystal in the scar-faced leader’s Space Ring and explained that it was worth over 300 Hunyuan Units and was needed for the seventh layer of the Wind Luminaries Body.
• Chen Yuan decided to return to Purple Glow Star to study the Purple Glow Inscription, and Irel set the Green Fox Ship’s destination.

Chen Yuan completed another study of the Purple Glow Inscription, obtained new cultivation resources, and pushed his Meditation Method to Constant Stillness Completion Level. He could not break through to the Fetal Breath Realm, and the Optimization System was still attempting to create an optimization task for the completed method.

• Chen Yuan spent seven days studying the Purple Glow Inscription and comprehended the thirty-sixth essence and part of the sixth layer of Raging Storm.
• After Chen Yuan left the inscription chamber, a faint presence sensed his Nine Luminaries Body, though Bailijia did not notice it.

• Chen Yuan endured ten times the usual simulated pain and reached Constant Stillness Completion Level, but failed to advance to the Fetal Breath Realm.
• Chen Yuan showed Irel his status panel, which revealed that the Optimization System was still attempting to create an optimization task for the completed Meditation Method.

Chen Yuan discovered that higher Mental Realm cultivation might diverge from this world’s rules, so he shifted his focus to other secret arts and reached Star Level Sixth Rank. After Si Kun warned that the value of Chen Yuan’s purchases had been exposed, Shi Lan contacted him with an urgent warning about the danger.

• Chen Yuan explained to Irel that the cultivation systems of the two worlds were diverging, though he believed the Fetal Breath Realm should still be attainable.
• Chen Yuan reduced his meditation and devoted more time to the Thousand Wind Secret Canon and Raging Storm, making rapid progress in the Law of Wind while finding few useful time-related techniques.
• Two years after reaching Star Level, Chen Yuan advanced to Star Level Sixth Rank and received his final batch of resources from Si Kun.
• Si Kun warned Chen Yuan that the value of his purchases had been leaked and advised him to stay on Purple Glow Star, where the Virtual Universe could protect him.
• Shi Lan contacted Chen Yuan and urgently warned him to return to Purple Glow Star if he had left, because his situation was dangerous.

Chen Yuan learned that his teacher, Shi Lan, was worried about his safety and urged him to remain on Purple Glow Star. He began optimizing his spaceship into a stronger defensive treasure and committed to staying put while three items were upgraded.

• Shi Lan warned Chen Yuan to stay on Purple Glow Star, where Lord Bailijia could protect him, and offered to keep him safe if he had to leave.
• Chen Yuan asked the system to upgrade his D9-Grade Spaceship into an E9-Grade vessel with defensive and insulating functions, and the system confirmed it was possible.
• Chen Yuan paid 1.1 billion Kill Points and supplied F-grade metals and the Green Fox Ship to begin the spaceship optimization.
• Chen Yuan shortened the spaceship optimization from eight months to four by spending another 1 billion Kill Points.
• Chen Yuan spent 4.2 billion more Kill Points to optimize Azure Sky and Sky Radiance as well, then decided to cultivate on Purple Glow Star while all three upgrades were underway.

After months of evading people trying to lure him away from Purple Glow Star, Chen Yuan completed the optimization of his equipment and felt secure enough to continue cultivating. He named his transformed flight palace Origin Beginning Palace and imagined the power he might one day wield.

• Chen Yuan stalled invitations meant to draw him away from Purple Glow Star, then blocked communications and entered seclusion when his pursuers realized he was avoiding them.
• After four months, Chen Yuan's equipment finished optimizing into fifth-rank Perfect Level items, including a fast, highly defensive flight palace, the Azure Sky sword, and the Heavenly Radiance battle suit.
• Chen Yuan assessed his improved combat strength but chose to remain on Purple Glow Star, where he could keep cultivating and study the Purple Glow Inscription.
• Irel confirmed she could control the flight palace and discovered that its miniature exterior concealed an interior space about ten kilometers square.
• Chen Yuan and Irel discussed adding time manipulation through future sixth-rank optimization, then named the flight palace Origin Beginning Palace.

After Xia became trapped in a World Lord inheritance site, Chen Yuan suspected the incident was a trap aimed at him but decided to rescue her. He recruited Shi Lan to wait outside and help confront whoever might be behind the scheme, then set off for Red Maple Star.

• Chen Yuan received Xia's plea for help after she obtained a World Lord inheritance and was surrounded by greedy adventurers inside the Thousand Fire World.
• Chen Yuan concluded Xia was likely being used as bait by someone plotting against him and agreed to rescue her.
• Chen Yuan invited Shi Lan to help, offering Xia's top-tier Soul Defense secret technique as payment, and asked him to wait outside the World Lord world.

• Chen Yuan disguised the Origin Beginning Palace as the Green Fox Ship and departed Purple Glow Star for the Thousand Fire World.

Chen Yuan traveled to Red Maple Star and entered the Thousand Fire World to find Xia, whose inheritance had made her the target of a plot. He headed toward her location, confident in his strength and equipment.

• Irel told Chen Yuan that controlling the Origin Beginning Palace improved her computing power and could increase the Possession Secret Method's effect to 2,000 times.

• The Dual-Blade Valkyrie reached for her weapons, and Xia stepped between her and Chen Yuan to stop them from fighting.

Chen Yuan reunited with Xia and learned how she had accidentally inherited the Myriad Flame World Lord’s legacy after Ileni’s plot backfired. They agreed to wait inside the Inheritance Palace for Chen Yuan’s teacher, but Cecilia’s attempt to enter his spaceship was stopped by its owner, Irel.

• Chen Yuan apologized to Zhi and explained that he had suspected Xia’s companions because his enemies might be targeting her.
• Xia told Chen Yuan that Ileni had lured her to a fake inheritance site, attacked her, and was killed after Xia and Zhi fought back.
• Cecilia explained that Xia had discovered the real Inheritance Palace of the Myriad Flame World Lord beneath Ileni’s fake site and inherited its legacy.
• Cecilia urged Chen Yuan to take them away because the Inheritance Palace had less than ten days of energy remaining, but Chen Yuan said they would wait for Shi Lan World Lord to arrive within a month.
• Chen Yuan released the Green Fox Ship, and Cecilia was bounced away when she tried to merge with it.
• Irel emerged from the Green Fox Ship and rebuked Cecilia for trying to touch a vessel that already had an owner.

Chen Yuan and the others escaped the valley aboard his spaceship after Cecilia collected the Inheritance Palace, while Xia stopped Cecilia from probing the vessel’s secrets. After a month of cultivation, Chen Yuan received World Lord Shi Lan’s message that he had reached Red Maple Star, signaling it was time to leave the secret realm.

• Irel and Cecilia argued after Cecilia discovered the spaceship already had a Sentient AI, and Chen Yuan invited her and the others aboard.

• Cecilia found her access to the spaceship limited and suggested investigating its secrets, but Xia insisted she respect Chen Yuan’s privacy.
• Chen Yuan cultivated aboard the spaceship for a month, then received an email from World Lord Shi Lan saying he had arrived at Red Maple Star.

After hiding for a month, Chen Yuan and his companions left the Thousand Fire World aboard the Origin Beginning Palace, but adventurers tried to stop them and seize the inheritance. Chen Yuan killed those who crossed his warning, and he and his companions escaped through the teleportation gate to meet their teachers.

• The Origin Beginning Palace revealed itself and raced toward the Thousand Fire World exit, drawing the attention of adventurers who pursued it.
• Chen Yuan ordered Irel to ram a horned Universe Level Ninth Rank warrior blocking the ship, killing him in the collision.
• Chen Yuan told Xia and the others that World Lord Shi Lan had arrived at Red Maple Star, then prepared to leave the ship because the teleportation gate barred spaceships.

• Three more Universe Level adventurers crossed the trench, and Chen Yuan killed them with his Domain and sword before the others backed down.
• Xia and Zhi passed through the gate, and Chen Yuan followed after confirming no one was pursuing him.

Chen Yuan and the two sisters escaped Red Maple Star in the Origin Beginning Palace, but Lei Luo attacked them and demanded the Thunder Annihilation Stone. Shi Lan arrived to defend his student, and another figure appeared as Lei Luo tried to seize the ship.

• Chen Yuan reassured Xia that he was unharmed, then led Xia and Zhi out of the Alliance hall and into the spaceship.
• A purple lightning palm struck the ship as it left Red Maple Star, but the Origin Beginning Palace withstood the attack and halted in midair.

• Lei Luo tried to seize the ship, but another figure tore through the air toward them, and Xia recognized that figure as her teacher.

World Lord Man Yin arrived to defend Xia and disputed Lei Luo’s attempt to take Chen Yuan for investigation. As Lei Luo and Shi Lan left to fight in deep space, Chen Yuan stayed behind, and Cecilia’s words revealed that an Immortal had descended.

• Cecilia claimed Lei Luo was no threat, and Man Yin suddenly sensed an Immortal aura and realized an Immortal had descended.

Immortal Thirteen intervened in Shi Lan and Lei Luo’s fight, confirmed Lei Luo’s plot against Xia, and sentenced him to a prison term. He invited Xia to the Ganwu Secret Realm to meet the Ganwu Universe Master, and she left with Cecilia, Zhi, and Man Yin while Chen Yuan stayed behind.

• Immortal Thirteen stopped Shi Lan and Lei Luo’s battle and learned that Lei Luo had schemed against Shi Lan’s student.
• Thirteen brought Xia and the others from the Green Fox Ship before him, and Xia identified herself as the inheritor of the Myriad Flame World Lord.
• Cecilia explained that Lei Luo had trapped Xia in the Inheritance Palace and revealed that the real Myriad Flame Palace had fallen to the Myriad Flame World Lord’s enemy.
• Thirteen sentenced Lei Luo to confinement in the First Star Sector Prison for one era and invited Xia to meet the Ganwu Universe Master.
• Cecilia revealed that the Myriad Flame World Lord was Gan Wanyan, the Ganwu Universe Master’s first child, and Xia agreed to travel to the Ganwu Secret Realm with Zhi and Man Yin.
• Chen Yuan declined to go because he was waiting for the core member assessment, and he watched Xia board Thirteen’s spaceship and depart.

After returning to Purple Glow Star, Chen Yuan optimized his Nutrient Solution and greatly accelerated his cultivation. With the Ganwu Branch assessment approaching, Shi Lan’s recommendation secured him a slot without a qualification tournament.

• Shi Lan left to continue his secret-realm training, confident that the soul secret technique Chen Yuan sent would help him qualify for the Core Layer.
• Chen Yuan returned to Purple Glow Star and realized that his usual Nutrient Solution would not let him reach Star Level Peak in time for the Core Layer assessment.
• At Irel’s suggestion, Chen Yuan optimized the Nutrient Solution, raising its absorption efficiency fivefold and halving its usage interval.
• Chen Yuan cultivated in seclusion, while Xia later emailed him that the Ganwu Universe Master had accepted her as a registered disciple.
• With less than three months until the Ganwu Branch assessment, Chen Yuan relied on Shi Lan’s backing to secure a recommended slot without entering the qualification tournament.
