Chapter Summaries

Xiao Fan completed Huo’s brutal training and discovered that the mysterious Taixuan Immortal Network had updated its reading of his cultivation to Nascent Soul Early Stage. Huo explained that the Seven Great Immortal Sects had launched the network, then pointed Xiao Fan toward a battle unfolding beyond the planet.

• Chi Jiuyu was struck by a Void Return Bio-Weapon and driven toward the Quaking Spirit Fifty-Second Planetary System by several peak Spirit Transformation canine Bio-Weapons.

• Huo directed Xiao Fan to look beyond the planet, where he saw Chi Jiuyu’s manifestation fighting the canine Bio-Weapons.

Xiao Fan watched Chi Jiuyu unleash her Dharma manifestation and defeat the Bio-Weapons, while Confusion left him resources after ending the trial. Chi Jiuyu was suddenly returned to her starship, where she met Ji Yinxue, Charm Ancestor’s personal disciple.

• Confusion told Xiao Fan that the Dharma manifestation belonged to Chi Jiuyu, the Sword Venerable’s prodigy, and Xiao Fan watched her protect the planet while attacking the Bio-Weapons.

• The Bio-Weapons froze and disintegrated, and Chi Jiuyu found herself back aboard her starship, where Ji Yinxue introduced herself as Charm Ancestor’s sole personal disciple.

After Ji Yinxue helped Chi Jiuyu, she questioned her about Xu Xianning and Sword Ancestor’s views on the current era. Chi Jiuyu then began her mission’s jump to the Gui Ling 37th Planetary System, recalling how its three alien races entered the interstellar community.

• Ji Yinxue straightened Chi Jiuyu’s collar, then asked her about Xu Xianning and learned that Chi Jiuyu would not reveal whether Xu had entered seclusion.

Yin Zhihe boarded a starship under a false Human Race identity and prepared to travel toward the Central Continent, where she expected far greater danger. At the Sword Sect, Du Ruoheng informed Zhou Kongming that he would serve as an Ascension Envoy, and Zhou received the mission details before his departure.

• Yin Zhihe used her legal Human Race identity to board a passenger starship and concealed her cultivation while traveling toward the Central Continent.
• Yin Zhihe reflected that she would reach the Central Continent after four more planetary systems and noted that a former brat had become the Fu Ling Star System's Guardian Envoy.
• Du Ruoheng told Zhou Kongming that the Founder Ancestor had selected him as the Sword Sect's sole first-batch Ascension Envoy, despite objections from some Supreme Elders.
• Du Ruoheng urged Zhou Kongming to accept the appointment and later return to the Ancient Cultivator Response Department to prepare for future responsibilities.
• Zhou Kongming's Taixuan Immortal Network panel displayed three Ascension missions, an initial Auxiliary Module, and a warning that using it could increase the chance of a Child of the World being born.

Zhou Kongming prepared to undertake an extremely difficult Ascension mission to guide a world without spiritual energy onto the Dao Path, while Lin Changsheng completed his training at the Joyous Union Sect and headed back to his sect for an urgent mission. The chapter ended as Ji Yinxue returned, flooding the night sky with white light.

• Zhou Kongming left Ascension Hall and considered his mission, its dangers, and the warning about hostile Children of the World.
• Lin Changsheng finished Meng Ling's anti-fraud training, received his certificate, and thanked her before leaving.
• Yue Zhongfeng tried to arrange a rematch, but Lin Changsheng refused, saying he had to return to his sect for a highly confidential mission.
• Lin Changsheng and Yue Zhongfeng discussed the rumors about Lin Changsheng on the Spirit Net, and Yue Zhongfeng revealed he had paid to keep himself out of them.
• Ji Yinxue returned to the Joyous Union Sect, and white light illuminated the night sky.

World Purifying Dao Lord returned to the Joyous Union Sect and used her Dharma Domain to expose the private thoughts of its cultivators before Charm Ancestor and Ji Yinxue met with Xu Xing. Ji Yinxue asked Xu Xing whether he regretted sparing Yifeng, whose later betrayal led to catastrophe, and he was left to answer.

• Ji Yinxue arrived and reported her service on the Starry Sky Frontline Battlefield, including the severe injuries Daoist Shengji suffered while capturing Yifeng.
• Ji Yinxue told Xu Xing that Yifeng had been returned to the Sword Sect and would likely be sent to the Law Enforcement Hall prison.
• Ji Yinxue asked whether Xu Xing regretted not killing Yifeng more thoroughly, since her betrayal had led to the loss of a Sword Sect treasure and hundreds of millions of deaths.

Xu Xing explained to Ji Yinxue that he regretted acting hastily during the past calamity but did not regret sparing Yifeng or killing Yijing. Meanwhile, Chi Jiuyu arrived to investigate the Gui Ling 37th Planetary System, where she wounded Ji Ge and confronted the powerful alien Changyao, who surrendered and was ordered to remain for questioning.

• Xu Xing told Ji Yinxue that Yifeng had not deserved death when he spared him, while Yijing had deserved death, and urged her to judge people by their actual deeds rather than possible futures.
• Ji Yinxue thanked Xu Xing for his answer, and Xu Xing left Charm Ancestor's cave to return to his injured disciple.
• Chi Jiuyu reached the Gui Ling 37th Planetary System and discovered that the three alien kings had gathered to welcome Changyao, a Void Return cultivator, rather than her.
• When Ji Ge tried to destroy Chi Jiuyu's Micro Psionic Satellites, she countered his attack and cut off his arm after Changyao stopped her first sword strike.
• Changyao recognized Chi Jiuyu as a Sword Sect investigator, knelt and offered to seize the three alien kings, but Chi Jiuyu ordered him to release them and stay for questioning.

Chi Jiuyu arrived at the Seventh Planet with Chang Yao and the three alien kings, while True Monarch Fu Ling watched the investigation from afar and decided to let her deal with the races. At the royal palace, Ji Ge protested how Chi Jiuyu was treating them, repeating the argument he had once used against the First Investigation Envoy.

• Chang Yao warned the three alien kings to cooperate with Chi Jiuyu, then escorted them toward the Seventh Planet while keeping respectfully behind her.
• Chi Jiuyu noted that her satellite had found no bio-weapons, but suspected a Bio-Weapon Hub could remain undetectable while storing energy.
• True Monarch Fu Ling reviewed reports, rejected his nephew's inquiry about the Third Investigation Envoy, and observed the events unfolding in the planetary system.
• True Monarch Fu Ling saw Chi Jiuyu arrive and chose to let her teach the alien races a lesson.
• At the royal palace, Chi Jiuyu sat on the throne and asked whether her treatment of the rulers was inappropriate, and Ji Ge protested that the Human Race would be accused of bullying the weak.

Chi Jiuyu exposed the alien kings’ scheme to seize the Starry Sky routes and forced Ji Ge to reveal that they had staged attacks to test the Human Race before Wu Qi’s breakthrough. She ordered the kings to document the incident and submit a report, leaving the investigation’s findings to be reported truthfully.

• Changyao condemned Ji Ge and persuaded Chi Jiuyu to authorize his execution, but Chi Jiuyu stopped Changyao when Ji Ge offered to explain the attacks.
• Chi Jiuyu restrained the other two kings with her sword intent and ordered Ji Ge to tell her the truth.
• Ji Ge explained that the kings had staged conflict and attacked the Starry Sky routes because Wu Qi was nearing the consummation of Spirit Transformation, and they hoped to negotiate for control of the routes after his breakthrough into Void Return.
• Chi Jiuyu questioned Ji Ge about the Star System Guardian Envoy, bio-weapons, and the Fu Ling Interstellar Council, while Changyao anxiously defended the council.
• Chi Jiuyu said she would report the matter truthfully and ordered the three alien kings to prepare a detailed report within three hours.

Chi Jiuyu took control of the investigation in the Gui Ling 37th Planetary System while True Monarch Fu Ling prepared a report and reprimanded his junior. At the transit station, Yin Zhihe arrived, reaffirmed her allegiance to the Cang Ancestor, and saw Chi Jiuyu presiding over the aliens.

• Chi Jiuyu sheathed her sword, kept Chang Yao from leaving, and ordered Ji Ge to prepare local food while the investigation continued.
• Chang Yao realized Chi Jiuyu was using him to manage the aliens and decided to cooperate so he could leave sooner.
• True Monarch Fu Ling warned his junior that Chi Jiuyu might expose how the aliens had misled him, then began manually screening the system's spiritual-energy data.
• A passenger starship docked at the transit station outside the Gui Ling 37th Planetary System, carrying Yin Zhihe.
• Yin Zhihe recalled her betrayal of the sect and her devotion to the Cang Ancestor, then watched Chi Jiuyu command the trembling aliens.

Chi Jiuyu investigated the alien rulers’ scheme, submitted their reports as her own mission documentation, and left them to reflect on their defeat. At the Sword Sect, Xu Xing examined Cheng Ding’s injuries and revealed how Cheng Ding had changed his Dao Path to reach Truth Insight.

• Chi Jiuyu listened as Chang Yao denounced the Interstellar Council, then warned him against getting involved in the rivalry between the Sword Sect and the Supreme Dao Sect.
• Chi Jiuyu reviewed the alien rulers’ detailed reports, uploaded them with her own mission-executor credit, and told the rulers to seek her if problems arose.
• Jiu Fu mocked himself and urged Ji Ge to accept reality, while Wu Qi agreed and walked away; Ji Ge noticed Wu Qi’s changed appearance and briefly glimpsed purple light around him.
• Cheng Ding returned to the Sword Ancestor Hall and tried to kneel before Xu Xing, but Li Ke told him to stand still while Xu Xing examined his injuries.
• Xu Xing perceived Cheng Ding’s original Sword Dao and learned that Cheng Ding had changed his Dao Path because Gu held authority over its origin.
• Xu Xing used a sword shadow to remove the flame and frost injuries inflicted by two Truth Insight cultivators.

Xu Xing purged Cheng Ding’s Dao injury and kept Li Ke overseeing the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall while they discussed the Ascension Envoys. On the Seventh Planet, Chi Jiuyu reviewed satellite footage and searched nearby planets for anything suspicious, while Wu Qi resolved to provoke a conflict between the human envoys and Lord Changyao but grew resentful when his plan failed.

• Xu Xing healed Cheng Ding’s Dao injury, sent him to rest, and refused to let him replace Li Ke as acting head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
• Xu Xing told Li Ke to continue overseeing the hall until the Taixuan Immortal Network’s preliminary tests ended, then discuss appointing a new head with the Sect Master if Yan had not emerged from seclusion.
• Chi Jiuyu reviewed the Micro Psionic Satellite footage from the Seventh Planet, found nothing suspicious, and sent satellites to record the Sixth Planet.
• Wu Qi recalled how a human had subdued him centuries earlier and how he had spent five hundred years seeking power and planning revenge.
• Wu Qi described how he had tried to provoke a clash between the Third Investigation Envoy and Lord Changyao, then resented that events had not gone as planned.

Chi Jiuyu investigated the Seventh Planet and prepared to inspect the Sixth, but Wu Qi appeared empowered by the Scale of the Dao Soldier Strange Beast and challenged her. After Chi Jiuyu unleashed a devastating sword attack, she admitted that she might not have defeated him.

• Wu Qi resisted the scale's vision of harmony among the myriad races and embraced its promise of ruling over all living beings, gaining a sudden increase in power and hatred for the Human Race.
• Chi Jiuyu concluded that the Seventh Planet was clear and announced that she would investigate the Sixth Planet next.
• Wu Qi burst through the Royal Palace roof, confronted Chi Jiuyu, and claimed that he wielded the Dao Soldier Sacred Beast's power.
• Chi Jiuyu recognized the scale, stopped Changyao from intervening, and attacked Wu Qi with three powerful sword techniques.
• After the sword light vanished, Ji Ge and Jiu Fu believed Wu Qi was dead, but Chi Jiuyu scratched her head and said she thought she could not beat him.

Wu Qi revived with the power of a Dao Soldier Strange Beast scale, overwhelmed Chang Yao, and turned Ji Ge and Jiu Fu against Chi Jiuyu. Meanwhile, Yin Zhihe used a mysterious technique to spread her hidden spirit across Cangwu Planet’s three billion people before leaving aboard a starship.

• Wu Qi emerged from a pillar of purple light, empowered by the scale, and easily blasted Chang Yao into the ground.
• Ji Ge and Jiu Fu swore loyalty to Wu Qi, who sent purple light into them and challenged Chi Jiuyu to defeat them.
• On a starship bound for Cangwu Planet, Yin Zhihe sensed that the scale’s power had been fully activated and prayed for help.
• Yin Zhihe received the True Method of Dao Origin Hidden Spirit Reversal and used it to infect passengers and then all three billion people on Cangwu Planet.
• Yin Zhihe’s technique drained the Dao Soldier Strange Beast’s power, and the starship departed Cangwu Planet with her aboard.

Yin Zhihe used the True Method of Dao Origin Hidden Spirit Reversal to hide her location as she traveled toward Cangwu Planet, while Chi Jiuyu fought two scale-empowered opponents inside the purple-shrouded Gui Ling 37th Planetary System. True Monarch Fu Ling discovered the Dao Soldier Strange Beast scale’s influence and spotted Chi Jiuyu badly wounded but holding the Sword Master of Seven Emotions’ Jade Talisman.

• Yin Zhihe concealed herself with three billion Reversal Bodies and fell asleep aboard the starship as it approached Cangwu Planet.
• Xuan rebuked Gu for dismissing a Human Race member who had infiltrated the Central Continent, and they discussed the threat posed by the Sword Ancestor.
• Wu Qi empowered Ji Ge and Jiu Fu with the Dao Soldier Strange Beast scale and declared that he would conquer the Sword Sect.
• Chi Jiuyu fought the transformed Ji Ge and Jiu Fu, whose strength had risen to the pinnacle of the half-step Void Return stage.
• True Monarch Fu Ling searched the star systems, failed to locate the hidden woman, and summoned True Monarch Ji Ling to help retrieve the scale.
• True Monarch Fu Ling saw Chi Jiuyu gravely wounded but clutching a multicolored Jade Talisman, recognized it as the Sword Master of Seven Emotions’ sword, and became alarmed.

Chi Jiuyu used a Jade Talisman to unleash the Seven Emotions Sword Master’s power, destroying the Dao Soldier Strange Beast’s scale and rescuing herself from her pursuers. After True Monarch Fu Ling blamed her for losing the clue, Lin Ji confronted him over his deliberate delay and private interference in the investigation.

• Chi Jiuyu activated the Jade Talisman, freezing the Seventh Planet and unleashing seven-colored light that destroyed the scale and swept across the Gui Ling 37th Planetary System.
• Chi Jiuyu spoke with Lin Ji through the talisman, and he told her to finish the mission and return without worrying about the scale.
• True Monarch Fu Ling accused Chi Jiuyu of ruining an important clue, and she cursed him for arriving too late and trying to blame her.
• True Monarch Ji Ling arrived and recognized Lin Ji, while Chi Jiuyu insulted him and then sat down to recover from her injuries.
• Lin Ji defended Chi Jiuyu and accused True Monarch Fu Ling of leaking mission details and deliberately delaying his response to make her struggle.

Lin Ji held True Monarch Fu Ling accountable for trying to blame Chi Jiuyu, while Yin Zhihe returned to the Central Continent aboard a starship. During the warp, she was caught in a vast web of her own countless selves and confronted by a veiled woman carrying the banner Fortune and Misfortune Are Mine.

• Lin Ji told True Monarch Fu Ling that his selfishness had led him to shift the blame onto Chi Jiuyu and said he would make Li Yuangeng answer for it.
• True Monarch Ji Ling warned Lin Ji that a human traitor might infiltrate the Central Continent, but Lin Ji told him to keep watch over the Starry Sky instead of stopping returning starships.
• Aboard a passenger starship, Yin Zhihe reflected on her return to the Central Continent and resolved to help the Cang Race replace the Human Race.
• The starship entered the Supreme Dao Sect's Starry Sky Warp Array, and Yin Zhihe felt the Central Continent's spiritual energy bring Dao Integration within reach.
• Yin Zhihe found herself immobilized in a void among countless copies of herself, whose connecting threads formed a web across all things.
• A veiled woman appeared amid an overwhelming calamity, holding a banner marked Fortune and Misfortune Are Mine.

Yuanjun and Xu Xing exposed Yin Zhihe’s infiltration of the Central Continent and destroyed Xuan’s avatar. Before Yin Zhihe died, Xu Xing gave her a Cang Race cultivation art that made her question the Cang Race’s claim to selflessness.

• Yin Zhihe realized Yuanjun had woven the karmic web around her and recognized that the Human Race had discovered her past.
• Yuanjun called out Xuan, who appeared as purple qi before the Human Race True Immortals attacked and shattered his avatar.
• Xu Xing captured the last wisp of Xuan’s origin and explained that the True Immortals had fortified the Central Continent against Cang Race infiltrators.
• Xuan revealed that Gu, not he, was the Cang Race’s Primordial Ancestor, and Xu Xing confirmed Gu had been the Great Profound Realm’s first Dao Attainer.
• Xu Xing gave Yin Zhihe the Herding Spirit Nourishing Self Scripture, and she condemned him for supposedly framing the Cang Race with an art that herded living beings’ spirits to nourish oneself.

Xu Xing and Yuanjun dealt with Yin Zhihe’s delusions before Xu Xing reflected on the revelation that Gu had been the first to attain the Dao. Meanwhile, Chi Jiuyu recovered from the devastation on Gui Ling 37th Planetary System, learned that fewer than one-tenth of its inhabitants had survived, and headed to a transit station to claim repair costs for her Starship.

• Yin Zhihe rejected the evidence Xu Xing showed her, and Yuanjun’s flame took her away to have her soul destroyed.
• Xu Xing and Yuanjun discussed screening disciples more carefully before Yuanjun departed; Xu Xing then considered Xuan’s revelation about Gu.
• Chi Jiuyu woke after recovering, spoke with Chang Yao, and learned that less than one-tenth of the star system’s residents had survived.
• Chi Jiuyu left the ruined planet, and Chang Yao considered how the events might affect his standing in the Council.
• At the transit station, Chi Jiuyu checked the Starship’s repair estimate and filed for reimbursement from the sect.

Chi Jiuyu began writing her mission report aboard the Starship but fell asleep from exhaustion, while the Sword Sect prepared its first Ascension Envoys for their missions. Zhou Kongming was sent to a barren starry-sky world to begin his twenty-one-year mission to revive its spiritual tide.

• Chi Jiuyu set the Starship's warp coordinates, started drafting a mission report, then gave up to watch videos and fell asleep with her report unfinished.
• The blue-gold sword activated the Starship's protective measures so Chi Jiuyu could sleep undisturbed during warp.
• Xu Xing and Bie Xuening discussed the diminished usefulness of Yuanjun's Net of Karma and Calamity after Xuan learned of it.
• Jieye visited Xu Xing, agreed that Yifeng had to atone for his betrayal, and asked that the Thunder-Fire Penalty refine him for a hundred years instead of a harsher punishment.
• Zhou Kongming activated his Ascension Envoy authority and learned that his first mission was to initiate the revival of the spiritual tide in an unnamed starry-sky world over twenty-one years.
• Zhou Kongming arrived in the mission world, received a Seed of Spiritual Origin, and felt the world's immense pull trying to drain his power.
