Chapter Summaries

Lin Chenxing studied how the Myriad Cloud Insect Crystal Mother Tree produced Cloud Insect Crystal Wood, uncovering most of a leaf’s life structure and gaining ideas for improving the Spirit Bamboo. He then entered Saint Kiru’s dwelling again through a spatial rift, where the Cloud Insects devoured the membrane and produced a valuable spatial Insect Crystal.

• Lin Chenxing realized he could not take the Myriad Cloud Insect Crystal Mother Tree, so he watched its Cloud Insects gather under its control.
• Lin Chenxing followed a Cloud Insect and observed it plant a leaf, which quickly grew into Cloud Insect Crystal Wood.
• Lin Chenxing took a leaf and manipulated its life force, revealing more than 95 percent of its life structure and inspiring possible improvements to the Spirit Bamboo.
• Lin Chenxing returned to the mountaintop and entered the Secret Pattern Diagram, reaching Saint Kiru’s dwelling again.
• The Cloud Insects chewed through the spatial membrane and devoured nearby vegetation, while Lin Chenxing emerged carrying an Insect Crystal rich in spatial energy.

After nearly a hundred eras exploring Liuzhong Mountain, Lin Chenxing finished his journey and returned toward his Miniature Universe with many gains to study. On the way, he caught up on events across the Universe Ocean, including Thunder Tree God’s survival and a deadly battle in the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest.

• Lin Chenxing found nothing worthwhile in his final exploration of Liuzhong Mountain, watched the Cloud Insects return through the spatial rift, and set off for home.
• Lin Chenxing saw that the stone bridge was nearly complete, though he had already taken the area’s important treasures.
• Lin Chenxing learned that the Reincarnation Era had reached nearly one-third of its span and that Thunder Tree God was the only innate Tree God to survive by becoming a True God.
• Lin Chenxing learned that Thunder Tree God had secretly taken branches from the other seven Tree Gods and was waiting to seek shelter with Lin Chenxing unless he found another path forward.
• Lin Chenxing learned that the God Race, Ancient Race, and Dream Race had fought over two Supreme True Treasures in the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest, suffering heavy losses.
• A Third-Order Universe Master of the God Race died fighting the Ancient and Dream Races, and a nearby Fourth-Order Universe Master of the God Race attacked them in retaliation.

While blood from a battle between the God Race, Ancient Race, and Dream Race seeped into the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest and began a hidden mutation, Lin Chenxing focused on studying the Dao. Hong then visited and revealed that he had reached the tenth rank, leaving Lin Chenxing celebrating the Blue Star Lineage’s growing prospects.

• The God Race, Ancient Race, and Dream Race gathered their Universe Masters and fought, while blood from the battle soaked into the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest’s roots and began a latent mutation.
• After the battle ended, Lin Chenxing heard that many Space-Splitting Bamboo had been broken but chose not to intervene, believing the cleared spaces could foster new growth and mutations.
• Hong visited Lin Chenxing in his Miniature Universe and revealed that he had created a tenth-rank secret technique and reached the tenth rank.
• Hong explained that he had combined Lin Chenxing’s Path of Origin One with his own path, first creating peak ninth-rank techniques and then deriving a tenth-rank technique.
• Lin Chenxing celebrated the prospect of three Blue Star Lineage Holy Land Universes, and Hong added that their second brother had also made substantial gains.

Lin Chenxing rebuilt Immeasurable Bamboo Mountain around the techniques Origin One and All Living Beings, while Hong shared Secret Pattern Diagrams and discussed when he might leave to attempt a breakthrough. As Lin Chenxing cultivated the new bamboo arrangement, his nine Bamboo Forests spread through the barrier and caused it to disappear, exposing them to the Universe Ocean.

• Hong told Lin Chenxing he would attempt a breakthrough if he created an Eleventh Order Secret Technique within the next Reincarnation Era, or leave when the final Reincarnation Era was ending.
• Lin Chenxing told Hong he planned to keep modifying the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest and leave it as a resource for the Human Race, and Hong gave him Secret Pattern Diagrams to aid his cultivation.
• Lin Chenxing cut down the Spirit Bamboo on Immeasurable Bamboo Mountain, stored its treasures in the Human Race's treasury, and planted new bamboo shoots at points in the Secret Pattern Diagrams.
• Lin Chenxing began refining his insights into Immeasurable Bamboo Mountain while the new Spirit Bamboo grew and the nine Bamboo Forests spread throughout the region inside the barrier.
• About seventy eras after Lin Chenxing entered seclusion, the nine Bamboo Forests broke through the barrier, which disappeared and revealed them to the races of the Universe Ocean.

The nine newly revealed bamboo forests drew powerful beings from across the Universe Ocean, who fought over their Supreme Treasures and triggered violent Law Storms. Lin Chenxing allowed them to enter but insisted the forests not be deliberately destroyed, while the storms trapped Universe Masters below the fifth tier and left their survival uncertain.

• Powerful beings poured into the nine bamboo forests after their barriers opened, while the Human Race debated whether to claim the treasures for itself.
• Thunder God contacted Lin Chenxing, who said not to prevent others from taking treasures but to stop large-scale destruction of the forests.
• Human Race True Gods decided to let their Universe Masters and True Gods enter the forests to compete and gain experience.
• Fierce battles over valuable treasures disturbed the forests' linked forces and triggered another violent outburst of laws.
• Law Storms swept through all ten bamboo forests, trapping Universe Masters below the fifth tier and forcing True Gods and those with powerful palaces to search for and rescue their clansmen.

A storm in the Bamboo Forests killed many Universe Masters and forced the survivors to retreat, while their blood nourished rare, immature bamboo shoots. The other races blamed the Human Race and demanded that Lin Chenxing explain the disaster, leaving the Human Race under pressure to respond.

• The storm subsided, revealing heavy losses among the Universe Masters, especially those from weaker races, while only a few well-equipped peak fourth-tier survivors emerged.
• The surviving explorers withdrew from the Bamboo Forests, and their blood and the bodies of the dead soaked into the earth.
• Blood-fertilized bamboo shoots sprouted across the forests, though they remained immature and their purpose was unknown.
• The races connected the Bamboo Forests to Lin Chenxing because he had created them and had once mass-produced Spirit Bamboo Weapons.
• The races accused the Human Race of causing the storm and demanded answers and compensation from Lin Chenxing, confident their combined strength would force a response.

True God Illusion Heart Hong rejected the Universe Ocean races’ demands and warned them to leave or face the Human Race’s force. As Human Race reinforcements gathered, many withdrew, but a hundred True Gods and over five thousand Universe Masters stayed; Hong delivered a final ultimatum backed by an overwhelming aura.

• Hong announced that the Human Race rejected the demands and gave the gathered races three days to disperse.
• Some races withdrew, while troublemakers pressured others to stay; Hong allowed them to decide their own fate.
• With the deadline nearly up, Hong ordered the Human Race’s True Gods and Universe Masters to surround those who remained.
• The arrival of Human Race forces prompted another wave of departures, leaving about a hundred True Gods and more than five thousand Universe Masters.
• Hong approached the remaining powerhouses with a Supreme True Treasure spear and warned that the Human Race would drive them out by force within hours.

Hong confronted the remaining protesters and used his spear, World Destroyer, to kill the ninth-level True Gods who challenged him. With their strongest fighters dead, the protesters fled from the Human Race.

• Hong faced the protesters who refused to leave, and the ninth-level True Gods advanced with their palace-type Supreme True Treasures.
• Hong declared his spear's name and charged, prompting the Human Race's True Gods and Universe Masters to attack the protesters.
• Hong used the first three strikes of World Destroyer to trap the True Gods in illusions of disasters and destruction.
• By the eighth strike, Hong had killed every ninth-level True God who had challenged him.
• The remaining protesters fled from the Human Race.

After the Tragedy of the Bamboo Forest, the Human Race’s long-hidden powerhouses demonstrated their strength in battles across the Universe Ocean, revealing how many had reached the peak ranks. The Human Race’s growing power made its territory known as the Human Race’s Holy Domain, with more Holy Land Universes expected to follow.

• About seven eras after the Tragedy of the Bamboo Forest, True God Undying challenged a renowned ninth-rank True God and showed that he possessed peak ninth-rank strength.
• Thirty-six eras later, True God Youhou fought Star Ancestor barehanded and matched him despite Star Ancestor’s four Supreme True Treasures.
• One hundred and twenty-seven eras later, True God Qingdong fought True God Juehe to a standstill and officially entered the tenth rank.
• The Human Race’s battles revealed that it had nearly ten tenth-rank powerhouses and many more at the peak of the Universe Ocean.
• The Human Race’s occupied regions became known collectively as the Human Race’s Holy Domain.

A hundred and seventy eras after the Tragedy of the Bamboo Forest, Lin Chenxing emerged from seclusion with the Immeasurable Bamboo Mountain reforged and his techniques improved. He investigated the Blood-Spotted Bamboos formed from Universe Masters’ blood, and after observing them for more than thirty eras, he finally detected a change in one of their Spirit Bamboo Weapons.

• Lin Chenxing emerged from seclusion with the Immeasurable Bamboo Mountain transformed into a bracelet and his Origin One technique advanced.
• Lin Chenxing entered the Bamboo Forest to investigate the Blood-Spotted Bamboos, prompting the other races to withdraw their explorers.
• Lin Chenxing examined Blood-Spotted Bamboos across several forests and recorded their Spirit Bamboo Weapons, whose blood-colored markings varied by forest.
• Lin Chenxing stayed near the Blood-Spotted Bamboo with the most mature weapon and tracked it daily for more than thirty eras.
• Lin Chenxing finally observed a change in the Spirit Bamboo Weapon caused by its blood-colored lines.

Lin Chenxing watched a Blood-Spotted Bamboo transform into a Blood Bamboo Strange Beast and realized the creatures could grow stronger the longer they remained attached to the bamboo. As the serpent finally hissed after more than five hundred eras, Lin Chenxing recognized that the Blood-Spotted Bamboos might eventually become too powerful for the Universe Ocean to withstand.

• Lin Chenxing recognized that the Blood-Spotted Bamboos were using life-form creation recorded in the Spirit Bamboo’s genes to transform into Blood Bamboo Strange Beasts.
• Lin Chenxing stayed to monitor the forming beast, judged it to be a manageable specimen, and ordered the Human Race’s Universe Masters and True Gods to leave the ten Bamboo Forests.
• After more than five hundred eras, Lin Chenxing saw that the beast had reached Fifth Order Peak because the Bamboo Forest’s fluctuations strengthened it over time.
• Lin Chenxing concluded that the Blood-Spotted Bamboos could keep growing beyond the Universe Ocean’s limits and decided the batch would eventually need to be cleared out.
• The giant serpent hissed, and its cry reached the Universe Masters waiting outside the Bamboo Forest.

Lin Chenxing discovered that Blood-Spotted Bamboo and its Strange Beasts were spreading through the Bamboo Forest, making the infestation harder to destroy. He found that the forest’s own fluctuations could suppress the invasive bamboo, so he removed his growth limits and began expanding the forest.

• Lin Chenxing examined a Blood Bamboo Giant Python, learned that the Strange Beasts could not reproduce or grow stronger naturally, then destroyed it and the Blood-Spotted Bamboo.
• Lin Chenxing found that the remaining Blood-Spotted Bamboo was growing rapidly, intertwining with ordinary bamboo and contaminating it, so he began studying the forest’s fluctuations for a new way to stop it.
• Universe Masters from the Universe Ocean and the Human Race discovered Strange Beasts near the forest and suspected Lin Chenxing was creating them, but they kept their complaints to themselves.
• Lin Chenxing identified how the forest’s fluctuations resisted the Blood-Spotted Bamboo and concluded that strengthening the ordinary bamboo’s fluctuations would suppress its spread.
• Lin Chenxing separated the Blood-Spotted Bamboo’s fluctuations from those of the ordinary bamboo and removed his growth restrictions, causing the Bamboo Forest to expand outward.
• Powerful beings across the Universe Ocean watched the expansion, while the newly grown bamboo proved weaker and lacked the law affinities of the original groves.

After Lin Chenxing lifted the bamboo forest’s restrictions, it swallowed Glory Pool, Keso Star, and Jade Glory Mountain, raising their danger levels and creating new kinds of Spirit Bamboo Weapons. Lin Chenxing gained insights that could improve his All Living Beings secret technique and left for his Miniature Universe to pursue further cultivation.

• The bamboo forest spread across Glory Pool, Keso Star, and Jade Glory Mountain, transforming each dangerous land and raising all three to high-level status.
• The Blood-Spotted Bamboo stopped spreading, though it had already formed many Blood Bamboo Domains, including large clusters in the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest and the Time Chaos Bamboo Forest.
• Lin Chenxing sensed the changes in the forest while powerful figures across the Universe Ocean debated how to explore it safely.
• Lin Chenxing gained insights from the adaptable bamboo and its clashes with the Blood Bamboo Domains, which could broaden and strengthen the first form of his All Living Beings secret technique.
• After digesting his insights, Lin Chenxing left the bamboo forest for his Miniature Universe to cultivate and pursue the thirteenth order.

Lin Chenxing announced that he would introduce the Bamboo Forest to the races of the Universe Ocean in one year, prompting powerful beings across the eras to prepare to visit. He explained to the Human Race’s leaders that Blood-Spotted Bamboos in the expanding forest could spawn increasingly powerful Strange Beasts, while the group debated whether the forest had become a Forbidden Land.

• After considering the limits of his wood-forging method, Lin Chenxing announced that he would introduce the Bamboo Forest outside his Miniature Universe in one year.
• Universe Masters and True Gods spread the news, and the races of the Primal Universe and Universe Ocean prepared representatives to attend for different reasons.
• Lin Chenxing told the gathered True Gods to return later while he organized information, then kept only a few of the highest-ranking figures behind.
• Lin Chenxing explained to Lord of Darkness, Hong, Peng Gong True God, Darkness True God, and Thunder God that battles had produced Blood-Spotted Bamboos capable of giving rise to Strange Beasts, forcing him to expand the Bamboo Forest.
• The group discussed whether the growing Bamboo Forest qualified as a Forbidden Land, and Lin Chenxing said that the Supreme Rules and the Primal Universe Origin Will would have to determine that.

Lin Chenxing gathered the Universe Ocean’s powerhouses and explained Origin One Bamboo Forest’s structure, Blood Domains, and how conflict could drive its expansion. He returned to his Miniature Universe after revealing that the growing forest might yield stronger treasures, leaving the gathered races to consider the risks and explore its inner domain.

• Lin Chenxing arrived before the gathered races and introduced the Origin One Bamboo Forest he had created from the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest.
• Lin Chenxing explained that the forest had outer and inner domains, with the inner domain divided into ten regions once occupied by the Ten Great Bamboo Forests.
• Lin Chenxing said Blood Domains formed and expanded as Blood-Spotted Bamboo absorbed damage from battles, producing Blood Bamboo Strange Beasts that could become stronger as the domains grew.
• Lin Chenxing warned that Blood Domains near the center could merge and that expanding the forest might create stronger strange beasts.
• Lin Chenxing revealed that the expanding forest could produce Spirit Bamboo Weapons stronger than True God Level Supreme Treasures, then returned to his Miniature Universe.
• The gathered powerhouses weighed the benefits and dangers of expansion and decided that exploring the inner domain was their most urgent concern.

The races entered the Origin One Bamboo Forest and approached its newly formed Blood Domains, where the Star Race became the first to encounter a Ninth-Order Blood Bamboo Strange Beast. Star Ancestor and the Star Race’s other two True Gods fought it as the Universe Masters withdrew, leaving the battle unresolved.

• The True Gods and Universe Masters gathered at the Origin One Bamboo Forest, and the three major factions led by True God Juehe, True God Nine Nether, and Star Ancestor entered first.
• The races crossed the Outer Domain and approached the Blood Domains, where some noticed beast embryos on the Blood-Spotted Bamboo but did not warn the others.
• The Star Race encountered a Ninth-Order Blood Bamboo Strange Beast with a bird’s body and a spider’s head.
• The beast attacked with threads, but Star Ancestor defended the Star Race while the other two True Gods struck its strand armor with their Supreme Treasures.
• Star Ancestor broke the beast’s armor with dagger-like Supreme Treasures, and the beast took flight and unleashed cutting gales.
• The Star Race’s Universe Masters withdrew as Star Ancestor and the other two True Gods attacked the beast amid raging flames, storms, light, and Ice and Snow.

Damage to the bamboos triggered rapid growth in the Blood Domain, where Star Ancestor captured a Blood Bamboo Strange Beast and nine bizarre beasts later emerged. A blood-red Domain-type Supreme Treasure appeared and went to True God Nine Nether, while the discovery sparked battles across the Universe Ocean and accelerated the spread of the Bamboo Forest and Blood Domains.

• Star Ancestor used a combination technique of Supreme True Treasures to badly wound a Blood Bamboo Strange Beast, then took it after two other Star Race True Gods helped suppress it.
• Star Ancestor gave the Strange Beast's corpse to a member of his race to preserve, and he warned the gathered powerhouses that the Blood Domain was about to change.
• Nine Blood Bamboo Strange Beasts emerged from the fruits, and the powerhouses fought them before dividing up the creatures.
• A blood-red Domain-type Supreme Treasure appeared at the heart of the Blood Domain, and True God Nine Nether won it after a fierce battle.
• True God Nine Nether revealed that the treasure's domain stirred the desires of living beings, prompting races across the Universe Ocean to fight in Blood Domains and hasten their expansion.

Lin Chenxing explored the transformed Bamboo Forest and discovered that it had developed a weak will of its own, which regarded him as its creator. The will remained confined to the innermost area, but Lin Chenxing realized it could eventually let him sense everything in the forest.

• The Bamboo Forest spontaneously changed as it absorbed the essence of twelve dangerous places, altering its Spirit Bamboo Weapons and Blood Bamboo Strange Beasts.
• Human explorers mapped more of the forest, while increasingly dangerous Blood Domains and fewer Supreme True Treasures made exploration less rewarding.
• Lin Chenxing traveled to the forest’s depths and found that even its outskirts had become perilous, with Blood Domains capable of producing eighth- and ninth-tier Strange Beasts.
• Lin Chenxing sensed the Bamboo Forest’s affection and realized it had developed a weak will limited to its innermost area.
• The Bamboo Forest Will became frightened when Lin Chenxing’s will revealed the full forest to it, and Lin Chenxing soothed it.
• Lin Chenxing examined the forest’s changes and concluded that the Bamboo Forest Will was his greatest gain, since it might eventually let him sense everything within the forest.

Lin Chenxing renovated the Origin One Bamboo Forest to strengthen its bamboo, establish dangers that matched its treasures, and weave a new Secret Pattern Diagram throughout it. After an era of work, the forest became more orderly, resilient, and rewarding to explore, though it still could not withstand tenth-order battles.

• Lin Chenxing planned to grow the Bamboo Forest Will by strengthening the bamboo, creating dangerous regions to balance rewards, and completing the forest's Secret Pattern Diagram.
• Lin Chenxing combined ideas from the All Living Beings technique, the World Beast Nest point map, and Liuzhong Mountain's Cloud Insect Crystal Woods diagrams to design a new pattern for the forest.
• Lin Chenxing spent an era renovating the Bamboo Forest while the races of the Universe Ocean watched without trying to interfere.
• The Bamboo Forest became more scenic and orderly, and its hidden patterns offered powerful secret techniques to beings able to detect them.
• Lin Chenxing created dangerous regions throughout the forest, and its resilience improved enough to recover quickly from ninth-order battles.

Lin Chenxing completed the transformation of Origin One Bamboo Forest, established the Human Race’s future role in managing it, and finished preparing to refine Void True God Level Supreme Treasures. As he returned to his Miniature Universe to prepare for his breakthrough, he learned that an Ancestral God was coming to visit him.

• East Emperor Progenitor decided that East Emperor Holy Land would follow the lead of the Human Race’s Holy Domain after witnessing Lin Chenxing’s achievements.
• The races of the Universe Ocean recognized Origin One Bamboo Forest’s new divisions into the Outer Domain, Inner Domain, and Core Region, each with different dangers and rewards.
• The Bamboo Forest Will agreed that a Human Race member, eventually an inheritor of the Origin One Lineage, could serve as Lin Chenxing’s spokesperson when he left for the Origin Continent.
• Lin Chenxing incorporated the Mechanical Flow approach to treasure refinement into his skills and completed his preparations to refine Void True God Level Supreme Treasures.
• Lin Chenxing returned to his Miniature Universe and learned that an Ancestral God from the Ancestral God Sect was heading to the Human Race’s Holy Domain to see him.
