Chapter Summaries

Xuan entered the Beast God Realm, discovered traces of the Sword Ancestor’s influence, and was forced to abandon his plans to establish an anchor there. Centuries later, reborn as a human infant, he faced starvation, while Nangong Ruo and Chi Jiuyu encountered dangerous pursuers in separate confrontations.

• Xuan explored the Beast God Realm, found that the Great Profound immortals had destroyed its Heavenly Will, and saw Sword Ancestor’s lingering marks across the laws.
• Xuan withdrew after realizing the marks made his original plan too risky, then was born as a human infant to evade the Sword Ancestor and feared his neglectful parents would let him starve.
• Zhang Yunlu, Lin Xuanxuan, and Nangong Ruo were ambushed by cultivator bandits after leaving Purple Purity Temple, and they split up while fleeing.
• Nangong Ruo outran an Early Golden Core bandit, used a Formation Virus to seize control of his Mortal Ghost Domain, and learned his banners contained the souls of at least a hundred thousand victims.
• Three early Spirit Transformation cultivators blocked Chi Jiuyu and demanded to inspect her spirit sword, and she prepared to flee if she could not defeat them.

Chi Jiuyu escaped three Spirit Transformation cultivators with a sword strike and the Great Void Sword Escape while Xu Xing watched the trials of his other disciples. In the Beast God Realm, Xuan survived his first years in an orphanage and faced bullies on an important day.

• Chi Jiuyu used a sword technique she had learned from Xu Xing to break the attackers’ strike, then escaped their Ten Directions Spatial Locking Grand Array with the Great Void Sword Escape.
• Xu Xing watched as Nangong Ruo took control of a grand array, Lin Xuanxuan poisoned a pursuer, and Zhang Yunlu was rescued by Meng Xuan after being badly wounded.
• Xu Xing observed reforms in Qin-Pacifying County, where a group created an early qi-and-blood martial path that required no spiritual essence.
• Xuan survived neglect and abandonment before being left at an orphanage, where he waited for a chance to reveal his talent without attracting the Human Race immortals’ notice.
• Several children led by Wang Dalong approached Xuan in the cafeteria, but a teacher intervened when she saw him crouching by the wall.

Xuan used the orphanage’s cultivator selection to reveal extraordinary talent, then rose to prominence in the Beast God Realm while secretly pursuing his own schemes. After achieving his aims, he died on the battlefield, leaving his lineage flourishing and his mentor Xiyun greatly strengthened.

• The crimson cultivator gave the orphanage children the Myriad Transformation Qi Refining Art, and Xuan quickly opened his Spirit Sea and reached Qi Refining level one.
• Xuan was taken to the Human Race’s Inheritor Holy Land, reached Qi Refining perfection in a year, and later established a Myriad Phenomena Dao Foundation and Golden Core after failing to create his own methods.
• At eight, Xuan entered the battlefield, killed three Nascent Soul cultivators, and was gravely wounded by a Spirit Transformation cultivator, losing his cultivation.
• At thirteen, Xuan created the Myriad Phenomena Life and Death Profound Technique, recovered, and became Xiyun’s disciple; he later reached Nascent Soul and created new cultivation methods and lineages.
• Xuan married a female Nascent Soul cultivator to conceal his plans, had a son and daughter, and established the Dao Origin lineage before returning to the battlefield and dying in a Beast God Race Void Return cultivator’s ambush.
• Xiyun killed three Void Return cultivators in revenge, recovered using Xuan’s technique, and advanced toward Dao Integration as the Dao Origin lineage spread; Xu Xing’s Sword Intent Spirit Body discovered something unusual.

Xu Xing derived three [Dao Origin] cultivation techniques and discovered that their practitioners’ auras united to form the Dao Origin Anchor-Setting Scripture, drawing the attention of the Sword Ancestor. The story then returned to Zhang Yunlu, who recovered from her injuries with a merchant caravan and approached a mysterious senior whose presence softened beasts and bandits alike.

• Xu Xing derived the Dao Origin Profound Subtle True Scripture, Myriad Phenomena Life and Death Profound Technique, and Dao Derivation Myriad Transformation True Technique, advancing each test figure to Nascent Soul.
• Xu Xing realized that the three techniques’ auras could combine and give rise to the Dao Origin Anchor-Setting Scripture.
• The Sword Ancestor’s purple eyes appeared, and a voice declared that Xu Xing could not conceal the truth, but its scheme had already succeeded.
• Zhang Yunlu meditated in the Three Heavens Realm and considered her rapid Foundation Establishment progress and the world’s unusual structure.
• Zhang Yunlu recalled how a merchant caravan had rescued her after she killed one of two pursuing Golden Core cultivators and badly wounded the other.
• Zhang Yunlu returned to the caravan and spoke with a mysterious senior whose presence calmed her and seemed to tame beasts and reform bandits.

Meng Xuan healed Zhang Yunlu and asked her to arrange a meeting with Chi Jiuyu, while Cheng Yu confronted powerful cultivators who had arrived in the Pine Cloud Dynasty capital. Just as Cheng Yu prepared to attack them, Ancestor Xuan of All Realms appeared and demanded to borrow his identity as a member of the Extra-Realm Human Race.

• Meng Xuan healed Zhang Yunlu, advised her to study at the Dharma Transmission Tower, and asked her to introduce her to Chi Jiuyu.
• Zhang Yunlu messaged Chi Jiuyu, identified Meng Xuan as a senior from the Righteous Alliance, and shared her location so Chi Jiuyu could come meet her.
• Cheng Yu, the Demon Venerable and new emperor of the Pine Cloud Dynasty, sensed several powerful cultivators approaching the capital.
• A sword cultivator and a great monk confronted Cheng Yu, and the monk attacked before the sword cultivator intervened to protect the city.
• Cheng Yu began to unleash the power he had gained through the Dao Origin Anchor-Setting Scripture, but Ancestor Xuan of All Realms appeared and demanded to borrow his Extra-Realm Human Race identity.

A mysterious force took control of Cheng Yu, whose magic power unraveled the attacks of two Void Return cultivators before he used Spirit-Refining Fire to resist being remade into an Origin-Returning Dao Anchor. Elsewhere, Chen Yan reached the Ascension Platform and ascended, while Xu Xing left before it activated.

• A voice asked to borrow Cheng Yu’s identity as a member of the Extra-Realm Human Race, and the Light of Great Freedom overwhelmed his body and spirit.
• Cheng Yu’s altered form dispersed the sword cultivator’s and great monk’s combined attack, while Zhao Yueqing fled the Capital City.
• Cheng Yu instinctively used Spirit-Refining Fire, briefly regaining clarity before the force watching him reignited the runes and began refining him into an Origin-Returning Dao Anchor.
• Chen Yan passed the valley’s seal and climbed the Ascension Platform as news of his entry spread through Great Profound Heaven.
• Xu Xing vanished, and Chen Yan’s ascent was announced across the Three Heavens Realm as golden light, heavenly flowers, and golden lotuses appeared.

Chen Yan ascended from the Three Heavens Realm while Xu Xing stopped Cheng Yu’s scheme and confronted Xuan in the Beast God Realm. Xuan revealed that his plans were complete and that he had only wanted to send Xu Xing home.

• Chen Yan was swept through the Immortal Reception Gate as the Three Heavens Realm witnessed his ascension and received a rain of spiritual blessings.
• Cheng Yu vanished in the imperial palace, leaving a radiant pearl and magical threads that captured Li Xiao and the great monk while Zhao Yueqing remained unharmed.
• Xu Xing seized the pearl, freed Li Xiao and the great monk, and told them he had removed the hidden threat connected to the Immortal Realm.
• Xuan appeared before Xu Xing in the Beast God Realm, and they discussed Xuan’s plans and the Great Profound Realm’s Heaven’s Will.
• A glowing purple Dao Anchor rose into the sky as Xuan told Xu Xing that his mission was complete and that he had only wanted to send him home.

Xu Xing confronted Xuan’s plan to use Dao Anchors across countless worlds to pull him from the Great Profound Realm, while Xuan revealed he knew why Xu Xing had crossed over. As Xuan appeared on the Starfield Frontline and the Dao Anchors surged, Xu Xing vanished from Qingxu, and a red-sworded figure arrived to save the Seven Emotions Sword Domain.

• Xu Xing saw the purple Dao Anchor in the Beast God Realm and learned that Xuan had spread his doctrine across countless worlds to strengthen a plan tied to the Great Profound Realm.
• Xuan denied arranging You’s appearance but told Xu Xing he knew why the Sword Ancestor had crossed over to the Great Profound Realm.
• Xiyun’s cultivation and the rise and death of his disciple Shi were recounted as the Dao Origin lineage stripped away Xiyun’s power and existence.
• Xi Li watched the Purple Dao Anchor as cultivators of the Dao Origin lineage across the Beast God Realm suffered sudden declines.
• Xu Xing erased his Homecoming laboratory, sent everyone away from Qingxu, and vanished as purple threads rose from the mist and Xuan appeared at the Starfield Frontline.
• Xuan’s purple qi overwhelmed the Seven Emotions Sword Domain until a red-sworded figure appeared and suppressed the strange phenomena.

Xu Xing learned that the Great Profound Realm had chosen him to become the Calamity of Heaven, but Xuan used stolen authority to expel him and three others from the realm. As Xu Xing and the others fell toward Qingxu, Xuan headed for the Central Continent and purple qi filled the sky.

• Xu Xing arrived at the Starry Sky Frontline Battlefield and joined the Black-Shadow Human Immortal and the White-Haired Human Immortal in fighting Xuan.
• Xuan explained that the Heavenly Will had chosen Xu Xing as the Calamity of Heaven, and Xu Xing’s Spirit-Refining Fire briefly caught Xuan off guard.
• Xuan invoked his authority as Dao Origin to make the Great Profound Realm expel Xu Xing, Bie Xuening, Yuanjun, and Hong Sovereign toward Qingxu.
• The Black-Shadow Human Immortal and the White-Haired Human Immortal tried to stop Xuan, but he crossed the battlefield toward the Central Continent.
• Hong Sovereign reached Qingxu first, and purple qi spread across the Central Continent as he began to fall out of the world.

Xuan returned to the Central Continent and fought through the True Immortals’ attacks to seize the sealed Heavenly Will from the Sword Sect and Supreme Dao Sect. After taking only part of it before being struck down, Xuan faced the approaching crimson sword light as Chen Yan witnessed the battle after ascending.

• Hong Sovereign was expelled from the Great Profound Realm, and Lin Ji, Bie Xuening, and Yuanjun failed to stop the repulsive force driving them away.
• Xuan’s vast hand reached for the Sword Sect, but Tyrant Sovereign struck it down and left Xuan gravely wounded beneath the sky.
• Xuan split into two figures and reached for the sealed Heavenly Will beneath the Sword Sect while the immortals tried to stop it.
• Ji Yue attacked Xuan with her sword, but Xuan seized the Heavenly Will and retrieved only half before the rest dissipated; Xuan also took sixty percent of the Heavenly Will sealed beneath the Supreme Dao Sect.
• Chen Yan emerged from the Ascension Hall and watched the battle before crimson sword light swept toward Xuan.

Xuan seized most of the Heavenly Will and revealed that his plan was to create a path for the Cang Race to prove the Dao, while Xu Xing was expelled from the Great Profound Realm with the other immortals. Stranded in the Chaos Sea and unable to resist the realm’s force, Xu Xing heard a faint call from Hong Sovereign as Xuan explained his method to Gu.

• Xuan destroyed Xuan with Xu Xing’s crimson sword strike, then split the remaining sword light to protect the Supreme Dao Sect, the Sword Sect, and the other Immortal Sects.
• Xu Xing told Lin Ji to protect the sect and wait for his return before falling beyond the world into the Chaos Sea.
• Xu Xing sensed that his senior sister, Yuanjun, and Hong Sovereign were also beyond the Great Profound Realm, and he struggled against the force carrying him away.
• Hong Sovereign’s faint voice reached Xu Xing as he searched for a way to change the situation.
• In the Ancient Great Profound Heaven, Xuan revived through a Cang Race member and told Gu that he had seized the Heavenly Will to develop the Heaven Pass Construction method, a path for the Cang Race to prove the Dao.

Xuan gave Gu Xin a third of the Heavenly Will and the Heaven Pass Construction Method, then restored sunlight to the Ancient Great Profound Heaven and rested beside a lake. In the Chaos Sea, Xu Xing and his companions remained unable to resist the Great Profound Realm’s repulsive force, though Hong Sovereign reached the Beast God Realm.

• Xuan explained that the Heaven Pass Construction Method let the Cang Race attain the Dao as Innate Ancestor Gods, and Gu Xin warned that its users could lose their True Selves.
• Xuan gave Gu Xin one third of the Heavenly Will and passed the Heaven Pass Construction Method into his mind.
• Xuan parted the clouds and restored sunlight to the Ancient Great Profound Heaven, then went to a lake and recalled his first meeting with the Sword Ancestor.
• Xu Xing contacted Hong Sovereign, his senior sister, and Yuanjun while the Great Profound Realm’s repulsive force continued pushing them through the Chaos Sea.
• Xu Xing and the others tried several ways to counter the force, but none worked well; Hong Sovereign then reported that he was near the Beast God Realm.

Xu Xing used traces of his Dao lineages in other worlds as anchors against the Great Profound Realm’s rejection, and the Beast God Realm preserved its connection. As Xi Li received the [Slaughter] inheritance, the immortals arranged to suppress the vacant sects’ Heavenly Will and Pill Ancestor prepared to bring the juniors’ worlds back.

• Xu Xing found that the Floating Glaze Realm’s preserved traces could serve as a weak anchor, then sent Dao lineage inheritances to other worlds, though nearly all rejected them.
• In the Beast God Realm, the Origin-Returning Dao Anchor remained in the sky as Xi Li climbed a mountain and wondered about Xu Xing and the purple star.
• A force shook the Beast God Realm, restoring Xi Li’s blurred memories, and she received the [Slaughter] Dao lineage inheritance.
• The immortals assigned Min to suppress the Sword Sect’s Heavenly Will and Charm Ancestor to suppress the Supreme Dao Sect’s, while You agreed to guard the Starry Sky.
• Tyrant Sovereign asked Pill Ancestor to bring the juniors’ worlds back, and Pill Ancestor prepared to use Refining Worlds into Pills.

Pill Ancestor used Xu Xing’s Sword Qi to reinforce the seal on Heavenly Will before reaching into the void to retrieve the world where the trial-takers were. In the Three Heavens Realm, Meng Xuan, Chi Jiuyu, and Zhang Yunlu discovered a Qilin Egg and confronted a scheming old man, whom Meng Xuan subdued with her Principle of Purity.

• Pill Ancestor sent Xu Xing’s Sword Qi to strengthen the seal on Heavenly Will, then reached through the void toward the trial-takers’ world.
• After Chen Yan ascended, Void Return cultivators in the Three Heavens Realm began pursuing good deeds to improve their cultivation, while orthodox sects and old cultivators hunted evil beings.
• Chi Jiuyu, Zhang Yunlu, and Meng Xuan climbed Three Qilin Mountain, where Meng Xuan identified a buried Qilin Egg being nourished by a human’s vital essence, spirit, and soul.
• At the summit, the three met a thin old man whose formation was meant to feed them to the Qilin; Meng Xuan used her Principle of Purity to control his thoughts and make him remove it.
• Meng Xuan told Chi Jiuyu and Zhang Yunlu to draw their swords and stab the motionless old man as unknown changes unfolded beyond their world.

Pill Ancestor refined the Three Heavens Realm into an immortal pill, removing traces of Xuan’s schemes and rewarding the Floating Glaze Realm. Meanwhile, Xu Xing gained strength from his ties to the Beast God Realm and learned from Hong Sovereign about a multiverse-type world.

• Meng Xuan killed the lean old man, and she, Chi Jiuyu, and Zhang Yunlu destroyed the Qilin Egg as a strange fiery phenomenon spread across the Three Heavens Realm.
• Pill Ancestor used creation and chaos to refine the Three Heavens Realm, extracted traces left by Xuan, and formed the world into an immortal pill.
• Pill Ancestor sent spiritual essence to the Floating Glaze Realm as a reward for preserving traces of a Dao brother.
• Xu Xing drew strength from his connections to the Beast God Realm, resisted the Great Profound Realm’s filtering force, and left the [Severance] lineage there.
• Hong Sovereign told Xu Xing that he had discovered a universe-type multiverse world.

As the Great Profound Realm expelled Xu Xing, Hong Sovereign, Bie Xuening, and Yuanjun through the Chaos Sea, they sent inheritances into worlds and received feedback that slowed their separation. Hong Sovereign eventually stopped near a powerful world where the Immortal Path was declining and the Divine Path flourishing, while Xu Xing confirmed it was not his homeland and asked him to wait for the others.

• Xu Xing learned that inheritances sent by Bie Xuening and Yuanjun into the Beast God Realm produced feedback and weakened the Great Profound Realm's repulsion against them.
• As the expulsion continued, Xu Xing explored passing worlds and sent inheritances into them, including a Dao Integration-level multiverse whose world-spirit protected the new universes formed from his gifts.
• Hong Sovereign received extensive feedback from worlds that preserved his inheritances as he was pushed through the Chaos Sea.
• The Great Profound Realm's repulsive force weakened and stopped, leaving Hong Sovereign near a Profound Penetration-level world where the Immortal Path was in decline and the Divine Path was flourishing.
• Xu Xing asked whether any special worlds were nearby, then learned the world was not a universe-type world and told Hong Sovereign to wait for Bie Xuening and Yuanjun.

Hong Sovereign entered a world governed by the Heavenly Palace and met an old Daoist and his two disciples in a ruined temple. When a Bear God came to kill the old Daoist, Hong Sovereign restrained him, while the old Daoist’s attempt to summon divine aid failed.

• Hong Sovereign tested the Great Profound Realm’s repulsive force, was driven back, and then entered the world at ordinary size.
• Hong Sovereign sheltered from a storm in a ruined temple with an old Daoist, Jiang Lin, and a young girl, and offered them compressed biscuits from the Supreme Dao Sect.
• The old Daoist recognized Hong Sovereign as a practitioner of the Spirit Stealing Dao and refused his gift because he and his disciples followed the Spirit Praying Dao.
• A Bear God of Gua Mountain arrived seeking revenge for his brother, and Hong Sovereign casually froze him in place.
• The old Daoist tried to summon Divine Lord Tongli, but no divine power came; the Bear God revealed that Tongli would not help because the old Daoist had killed his brother.

Daoist Jiang Lin killed Bear God after uncovering the gods’ role in aiding demons, then received methods for controlling and devouring gods from Hong Sovereign. As the Immortal Dao’s rise approached, Bie Xuening and shrunken Yuanjun reached Cang Cliff and saw the Great God Golden Crow.

• Bear God was forced to reveal that gods had backed demons to gather incense offerings, while Daoist Jiang Lin ate a Compressed Biscuit to restore his spiritual power.
• Daoist Jiang Lin accused Bear God of betraying his duty and split the god’s head with his broadsword.
• Hong Sovereign granted Jiang Lin methods to summon, control, enslave, and devour gods, and Jiang Lin collected Bear God’s divine origin and divine position.
• Hong Sovereign reflected that Jiang Lin would help usher in the Immortal Dao’s rise, then noticed a faint ripple and vanished.
• Bie Xuening and tiny Yuanjun arrived at Cang Cliff and discussed how to stop the Great Profound Realm from sending Senior Brother home.
• The Great God Golden Crow appeared above the sea of clouds.

Bie Xuening and Yuanjun discussed the changing balance between the Divine Dao and Immortal Dao while waiting for Xu Xing, as Hong Sovereign wandered through Fuming County and spotted a demonic cultivator preparing a deadly array. He Yunqi used Fayan to change his fate but saw that the Record of Dao-Deriving Great Thousand became corrupted before revealing what happened next.

• Bie Xuening and Yuanjun agreed that the Divine Dao and Immortal Dao each served the world's changing needs, and they expected the Three Heavens Realm excursion to end after Xuandu intervened.
• Hong Sovereign watched performers in Fuming County and recognized that the old man's growing tree concealed a Life-Refining Spirit-Washing Array that would drain the county's inhabitants.
• He Yunqi read in the Cloud Book that Daoist Xuecheng's array would activate during a demonic attack and kill him, so he used Fayan to revise his actions.
• The Cloud Book revealed that He Yunqi's best chance was to stop Daoist Xuecheng while he performed the seed-array technique, but He Yunqi had already missed that opportunity.
• The Record of Dao-Deriving Great Thousand began showing corrupted text after He Yunqi cursed at it, leaving the array's fate unclear.

Hong Sovereign disrupted He Yunqi’s divinations while dealing with Fuming County’s guardian deity, and Xu Xing finally reached the Great Profound Realm. Xu Xing sensed Yuanjun, Hong Sovereign, and his senior sister inside, then entered the world as he continued searching for the way home.

• Hong Sovereign’s presence caused He Yunqi’s Record of Dao-Deriving Great Thousand to glitch, then revealed that a mysterious being had eliminated the demon spirits and would later shatter five layers of the Heavenly Palace.
• Hong Sovereign destroyed Fuming County’s guardian deity statue and left the temple after the terrified attendant failed to confront him.
• Hong Sovereign sensed that Daoist brother had arrived beyond the world and vanished to meet his little sister and Sword Venerable.
• Xu Xing stopped drifting through the Chaos Sea after the Great Profound Realm’s repulsive force balanced against the anchor power of the worlds he had passed.
• Xu Xing wondered whether Yuan had reached home, sensed Yuanjun, Hong Sovereign, and his senior sister inside the nearby world, and entered it.
