Chapter Summaries

Xu Xing’s slaughter across the Central Continent forced the Immortal Sects to purge and reform, but his confrontation with four True Immortals was interrupted when Xuan attacked the Starry Sky Frontline. After centuries of trying and failing to change the world, Xu Xing entered seclusion to refine the Heavenly Will, and a hundred years later a young man calling himself Yuan appeared beneath the Dragon-Elephant Heaven-Supporting Sect.

• Hong Sovereign stripped his son of his cultivation after hearing his crimes, but Xu Xing later killed him and continued his purge despite the True Immortals’ reforms.
• Hong Sovereign, Tyrant Sovereign, Pill Ancestor, and Artifact Sovereign confronted Xu Xing in the Mysterious Void Sea, where Bie Xuening joined Xu Xing’s side.

• A hundred years after Xu Xing entered seclusion, a young man calling himself Yuan appeared in a town under the Dragon-Elephant Heaven-Supporting Sect.

Yuan’s determination to return home led him to borrow the Sword Ancestor’s name to push through changes in the Great Profound Realm. After Confusion finally befriended him, Confusion concluded that Sword Venerable’s silence meant she approved of Yuan’s actions.

• Yuan discovered that the mayor’s supposed True Immortal treasure was a manual for Universe in the Sleeve, complete with pinyin, and wondered whether he had truly transmigrated to another world.

• After reaching Void Return, Yuan began using the Sword Ancestor’s name to deter powerful cultivators and advance measures he could not achieve by himself.
• Confusion, a True Immortal, repeatedly approached Yuan and finally explained that the Sword Ancestor was in seclusion and that he wanted Yuan’s friendship.
• Yuan reluctantly agreed to be Confusion’s friend and left with Ning Wanzhu; Confusion inferred that Sword Venerable’s lack of opposition meant she approved of Yuan borrowing the Sword Ancestor’s name.

After Yuan left the Great Profound Realm, the Righteous Alliance descended into conflict, and an infant sent away during the turmoil grew up as Chi Jiuyu, Bie Xuening’s disciple. Sent to meet her absent Martial Uncle, Chi Jiuyu stumbled upon a demonic cultivation base and was saved when he appeared.

• Yuan left a message for his True Immortal countryman, hid Blood of Cang and Red Jade in space, and later vanished from the Great Profound Realm.

After the special trial, Chi Jiuyu learned that her parents had sacrificed their only chance to escape for her, then advanced to Void Return and tried to dodge her debts by applying for a post in the Starry Sky.
