Chapter Summaries

Lu Ye asked Ma Bin about Formless Palace and learned that it had grown from a band of star pirates into a hidden refuge for powerful criminals in a vast, barren region of space. Ma Bin also explained that Formless Palace used a subsidiary treasure to teleport, leaving Lu Ye to consider the nature and danger of Supreme Treasures’ subsidiary treasures.

• Lu Ye asked Luan Xiao'e whether any Sunlights had arrived, and she said several had gathered outside the Myriad Phenomena Sea without entering.
• Lu Ye visited Ma Bin in the Spirit Jade Vein and asked about Formless Palace’s background.
• Ma Bin explained that Formless Palace began as powerful star pirates and had become a gathering place for criminals concealed on Formless Star.
• Ma Bin told Lu Ye that Formless Palace used a subsidiary treasure of a Supreme Treasure to teleport while raiding other places.

• Ma Bin said most Supreme Treasures had subsidiary treasures and warned Lu Ye that their unleashed power could match an ultimate Sunlight powerhouse.

Lu Ye learned that Three Realms Island needed to demonstrate its strength to secure control of the Myriad Phenomena Sea. When Shen Yun of Winged Heaven Star entered the sea with the defensive Supreme Treasure Heavenly Net Umbrella, Lu Ye went to confront him as Sunlights watched.

• Lu Ye recalled a sword light that had pursued Feng Rumuo and suspected it was connected to the Heavenly Pivot Sword, but he could not determine its true nature.
• Tang Jun oversaw the return of stolen supplies to the Spirit Islands, whose masters thanked Three Realms Island without accepting its rule over the Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Mang Dang relayed that the outside powers wanted to see Three Realms Island's strength firsthand before allowing it to govern the sea.
• Shen Yun entered the Myriad Phenomena Sea, intending to seize control for Winged Heaven Star, and carried the Heavenly Net Umbrella, which he believed could not be breached.
• Lu Ye sensed Shen Yun heading toward Winged Heaven Island, left to confront him, and drew the attention of Sunlights watching from outside the sea.

Lu Ye confronted Shen Yun, who sought to kill him and seize Three Realms Island’s treasure, but Treasure Coin’s golden light revealed itself as a Supreme Treasure and sealed Shen Yun’s power. Lu Ye killed Shen Yun and declared that Three Realms Island would control Myriad Phenomena Sea, then returned to the island.

• Shen Yun approached Lu Ye intending to kill him, seize his treasure, and claim the greatest share of Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Lu Ye recognized Shen Yun’s killing intent, and the two prepared to fight as Shen Yun accused him of killing Gu Xi and summoned the Heavenly Net Umbrella.
• Treasure Coin’s golden light struck Shen Yun, shattered the umbrella’s protection, and sealed his Magic Power and blood vitality.
• Lu Ye resisted Shen Yun’s Soul Power attack, stabbed him with the Crag Mountain Saber, and destroyed his body.
• Lu Ye collected Shen Yun’s Storage Rings and umbrella, declared Three Realms Island’s control over Myriad Phenomena Sea, and returned to the island.

Lu Ye killed Shen Yun in a single exchange, convincing the gathered Sunlights that Three Realms Island could rule the Myriad Phenomena Sea. Dozens of powerful visitors then arrived to meet Lu Ye and discuss their future interests, while he remained concerned about the black fruit on his Talent Tree.

• Lu Ye suppressed the turmoil from his fight with Shen Yun and resolved to investigate the black fruit on his Talent Tree.
• Sui Lin and dozens of other Sunlights arrived at Three Realms Island, where Lu Ye greeted them alongside Luan Xiao'e and Yan Miao.
• Lu Ye hosted the visiting Sunlights, who acknowledged Three Realms Island's authority and understood that their future interests would be the main matter to negotiate.
• Gu Tai praised Lu Ye and asked about Gu Sheng, prompting Lu Ye to ask how Gu Sheng was doing.

Lu Ye announced two changes to the Myriad Phenomena Sea’s rules, winning the support of its major forces and formally securing Three Realms Island’s rule. The gathering was interrupted by Luan Xiao'e’s arrival.

• Gu Tai told Lu Ye that Gu Sheng had entered secluded cultivation to prepare for advancing to Sunlight.
• Lu Ye abolished the limit on the number of Moon Jade Realm cultivators stationed on each Spirit Island.
• Lu Ye allowed every top-tier Spirit Island to station one Sunlight, provided Sunlights did not interfere in disputes between Spirit Islands.
• Gu Tai, Sui Lin, and the other Sunlights pledged support for Lu Ye’s rule over the Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Lu Ye asked the major forces to rebuild their Spirit Islands and accepted their thanks for returning the supplies Formless Palace had seized.
• Luan Xiao'e entered the main hall and drew the attention of the assembled Sunlights.

Lu Ye demonstrated that Little Melon could absorb the corrosive water of the Myriad Phenomena Sea and use its stored energy to unleash powerful sealing light. The Sunlights then examined Shen Yun’s broken Heavenly Net Umbrella and realized that Lu Ye’s beast had apparently shattered the renowned defensive treasure.

• Luan Xiao'e brought Little Melon into the hall, where Lu Ye explained that it was a Pixiu whose power had changed after it ate an ancient coin.
• Lu Ye said Little Melon could unleash sealing golden light and claimed it paid no price beyond needing to bathe in the Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Lu Ye carried Little Melon beneath the sea and returned safely after ten breaths, whereupon it fired a beam of golden light.
• Lu Ye explained that Little Melon absorbed sea water to store energy, allowing it to replenish the power behind its sealing light.
• Lu Ye showed the Sunlights Shen Yun’s broken Heavenly Net Umbrella, and Gu Tai and the others confirmed it was the genuine treasure.

Lu Ye revealed that Little Melon controlled the Three Treasures Ruyi Coin, a genuine Starry Sky Supreme Treasure, and secured the Sunlights’ respect for Three Realms Island. After the guests left, he learned the broken Heavenly Net Umbrella might be repairable and told Luan Xiao'e that Purple Jade’s forces were heading for Jade Conch.

• Little Melon’s golden light broke Shen Yun’s Heavenly Net Umbrella, revealing its power as a Starry Sky Supreme Treasure and convincing the Sunlights that Three Realms Island could enforce order across the Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Gu Tai identified the ancient coin Little Melon swallowed as the Three Treasures Ruyi Coin and explained its sealing power and connection to Little Melon’s Pixiu bloodline.
• The Sunlights treated Lu Ye more courteously, and the gathering ended after setting the tone for the Myriad Phenomena Sea’s future.
• Lu Ye learned that a Spirit Jade Vein or a compatible Supreme Treasure might eventually repair the Heavenly Net Umbrella, so he asked Luan Xiao'e to take it to Hua Ci.
• Luan Xiao'e told Lu Ye that Hua Ci had lost her memories and recognized no one, and Lu Ye said he would deal with it after other matters.
• Lu Ye revealed that Purple Jade had sent more than ten Sunlights and a Demon Race army toward Jade Conch, expected to arrive in two and a half months, alarming Luan Xiao'e.

Lu Ye learned why Purple Jade had attacked Jade Conch and reassured Luan Xiao'e that he had arrangements to protect it. He discussed Chime Bell World's position and Nine Radiance's history with Chu Shen, then summoned his Sword Gourd as he prepared for what came next.

• Lu Ye explained that Yuan Du had used captured Star Constellations to learn the route to Jade Conch, and that Black Cloud had launched the campaign while seeking the Dao Tree Inheritance.
• Luan Xiao'e worried that Jade Conch could not resist Purple Jade, but Lu Ye told her to conserve her strength and assured her that Jade Conch would be safe.
• Chu Shen worried about Chime Bell World's position between Three Realms Island and the Myriad Phenomena Star System, and Lu Ye promised not to use the golden light against Chu Shen's mother, Nine Radiance.
• Chu Shen told Lu Ye that Chime Bell World had risen later than the other five great realms and that Nine Radiance had returned from beyond the star system as a Sunlight cultivator.
• Lu Ye concluded that Nine Radiance's strained relations with Yuan Se and the other realms might keep her from opposing Three Realms Island, then summoned his Sword Gourd.

Lu Ye completely refined the Sword Gourd and fed it Magic Treasures to strengthen its Sword Qi, preparing a trump card for Jade Conch’s coming war with Purple Jade. He left Tang Jun stunned when he revealed that the Sword Gourd was related to the Fire Gourd of One Origin Realm.

• Lu Ye decided to return to Jade Conch with Luan Xiao'e while Ma Bin, Hua Ci, and Little Melon remained behind, and he resolved to prepare the Sword Gourd for the coming battle against Purple Jade.
• Lu Ye spent ten days refining every restriction inside the Sword Gourd, using Magic Power and Soul Tempering Pills until his Sunlight Realm cultivation stabilized.
• Lu Ye fed the Sword Gourd Magic Treasures worth at least a hundred million Lingyu, strengthening its lone strand of Sword Qi until it resembled a battered sword blade.
• Lu Ye summoned Tang Jun and used the Sword Gourd to swallow a pile of Magic Treasures from the Storage Rings Tang Jun brought.
• Tang Jun mistook the Sword Gourd for the Fire Gourd of One Origin Realm, and Lu Ye explained that the two treasures were more or less brothers.

Lu Ye completed the Sword Gourd’s Sword Qi and tested its overwhelming power, learning that each use consumed a vast amount of Magic Treasures. He then planned to remove the Talent Tree’s black fruit by transferring it into expendable Treasure Blood Clones, but Nine Radiance returned to Three Realms Island before he could carry out the plan.

• Lu Ye nurtured the Sword Gourd’s Sword Qi to its peak using Magic Treasures worth roughly five hundred million Spirit Jade.
• Lu Ye tested the Sword Gourd on a Great Sun Realm star beast, badly wounding it with one strike before a second strike killed it, but the Sword Qi also injured Lu Ye’s hand.
• Lu Ye discovered that using the Sword Gourd depleted its Sword Qi and cost about one hundred million Spirit Jade worth of Magic Treasures per activation.
• Lu Ye planned to transfer part of the Talent Tree’s black fruit into a Treasure Blood Clone so he could discard the clone and gradually remove the fruit.
• Nine Radiance returned to Three Realms Island, and Lu Ye greeted her while Chu Shen worried about their meeting.

Nine Radiance returned to Three Realms Island after her star system lost control of the Myriad Phenomena Sea, and Lu Ye offered to entrust her with Myriad Phenomena Island. She considered rebuilding the Myriad Phenomena Merchant Association, while suspecting Lu Ye had planned the offer in advance.

• Nine Radiance returned to Three Realms Island and agreed with Lu Ye to speak as peers.
• Nine Radiance asked Lu Ye about his plans for governing the Myriad Phenomena Sea, and he said Three Realms Island lacked experience and a strong foundation.
• Lu Ye told Nine Radiance that the Starry Sky Supreme Treasure belonged to a relative and had only been borrowed.
• Lu Ye asked Nine Radiance to help manage the Myriad Phenomena Sea and proposed that she rebuild the Myriad Phenomena Merchant Association on Myriad Phenomena Island.
• Nine Radiance recognized the benefits of controlling Myriad Phenomena Island and suspected Lu Ye had planned the proposal before she arrived.

Lu Ye negotiated with Nine Radiance to hand Myriad Phenomena Island to her and rebuild the Myriad Phenomena Merchant Association, while arranging to return to Nine Provinces. Before leaving, Hua Ci revealed she had been pretending to have lost her memory and punished him for his past remarks about Su Yuqing.

• Lu Ye offered Nine Radiance Myriad Phenomena Island in exchange for Three Realms Island receiving half the Merchant Association's net profits, and asked for Yuan Se's Fire Gourd.
• Nine Radiance warned that Yuan Se would not surrender the Fire Gourd and asked Lu Ye to share any future clues about the Formless Palace; Lu Ye agreed to set the matter aside and let her begin rebuilding the association.
• Lu Ye decided to return to Nine Provinces ahead of Purple Jade's ten Demon Venerable-level powerhouses so he could prepare for their arrival.
• Lu Ye cornered Hua Ci, but a frog croaked and the Three Treasures Ruyi Coin struck him, sealing his Magic Power.
• Hua Ci dropped her act and teased Lu Ye, then revealed she was upset because he had spoken about Su Yuqing while visiting her during her time sealed away.

After Hua Ci released him, Lu Ye learned that the Insect Path between the Myriad Phenomena Star System and Jade Snail could be traversed, giving him a way to return home. His allies from Nine Provinces gathered to join him, and he prepared to lead them back to fight the invading Purple Jade Demon Cultivators.

• Hua Ci kept Lu Ye sealed for several days, and he emerged exhausted before Tang Jun told him that someone from home had arrived.
• Lu Ye found the injured Su Yiming, who explained that the Insect Path had carried him from Jade Snail to the Myriad Phenomena Star System after he was lost in its unstable currents.
• Luan Xiao'e told Lu Ye that the Insect Path had recently changed, and Su Yiming confirmed that nothing had yet happened in their star system.
• Lu Ye asked Tang Jun to reward the Star Constellation cultivators who had rescued Su Yiming, then asked Luan Xiao'e to inspect the Insect Path with him.
• Luan Xiao'e summoned cultivators from Jade Snail and Three Realms Island, including Tang Yifeng, Feng Wujiang, Jian Guhong, and Li Baxian, who volunteered to return with Lu Ye.
• Lu Ye accepted their help and prepared to lead them through the Insect Path to defend their homeland from the foreign enemy.

Lu Ye assembled Three Realms Island and Merfolk cultivators to return to Jade Snail and defend it, using a Central Warship and the Void Beast Heart Core to lead them through the unstable Insect Path. As his fleet made the crossing, Chou Wu’s group remained anxious outside the path, where Su Yiming had disappeared.

• Yan Miao and Bai Lu brought nearly two hundred Merfolk cultivators to join Lu Ye’s force, and he agreed to take them along.
• Lu Ye ordered Three Realms Island’s captured warships prepared and led nearly two thousand cultivators away from the Myriad Phenomena Sea aboard the Central Warship.
• At the unstable Insect Path, Lu Ye reinforced the Central Warship’s defenses and used the Void Beast Heart Core to calm the Void Currents as the fleet followed him through.
• Near the Insect Path in the Jade Snail Star System, Chou Wu and others searched for Su Yiming, who had vanished ten days earlier, and Han Tong volunteered to enter the path to help him.

Lu Ye returned to the Jade Snail Realm with Luan Xiao'e, Yan Miao, and a warship, revealing that the Nine Heavens was actually the Nine Provinces and that ten Sunlight Realm cultivators from the Purple Jade Demon Star were coming to invade. He rallied Jade Snail to prepare for battle and chose the Azure Dawn Dao Realm as the gathering point.

• Chou Wu entered the Insect Path to search for Su Yiming, then emerged with Lu Ye, who confirmed that Su Yiming was safe but recovering in the Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Lu Ye's enormous warship passed through the Insect Path, and Luan Xiao'e reunited with the Jade Snail cultivators as a Sunlight Realm cultivator alongside Yan Miao.
• Lu Ye revealed the Nine Provinces' true name and explained that ten Sunlight Realm demon cultivators from the Purple Jade Demon Star were coming to invade; Luan Xiao'e added that Lu Ye had already killed six or seven of their Sunlight cultivators.
• Chou Wu pledged Jade Snail's support, and Lu Ye ordered the Jade Snail cultivators to gather for battle at the Azure Dawn Dao Realm.

Lu Ye prepared the Three Realms for Purple Jade’s coming invasion, arranging a battlefield near the Turbulent Blast Zone and gathering cultivators from Nine Provinces and Square Inch Mountain. After learning how Square Inch Mountain’s Sunlights stored their cultivation, he left to find additional reinforcements, leaving their identity unclear.

• Lu Ye discovered Little Nine had concealed Nine Provinces, the Blood Refining World, and Square Inch Mountain with the Asura Arena Sub-Treasure, then ordered Little Nine to gather Nine Provinces’ Star Constellations for battle.
• Lu Ye asked Chen Xuanhai to summon the Southern and Western Divisions’ Sunlights, and Chen agreed to support him as Square Inch Mountain’s master.
• Su Yuqing explained that Black Cloud had used a Dharma Body and that Sunlights at the Great Sun Peak stored their cultivation through methods such as Dharma Bodies, inner cores, and Talisman Swords.
• Lu Ye left Square Inch Mountain to find reinforcements and said he would return within a day, prompting Wu Qimo and Chen Xuanhai to wonder what allies he could still recruit.

Lu Ye traveled to the Soul Race Ancestral Land to recruit reinforcements against Purple Jade’s invasion of Nine Provinces. Xu Yuan gathered ten Sunlight Soul Race cultivators, while Yiyi, Amber, Li Shang, Zhang Zishan, and the Immortal Yuan Guards also joined the force, which prepared to depart.

• Lu Ye told Xu Yuan that Purple Jade was preparing to invade Nine Provinces and asked the Soul Race for reinforcements.
• Xu Yuan agreed to help and assembled ten Sunlight Soul Race cultivators, while many other Soul Race members gathered to join them.
• Yiyi and Amber arrived, and Yiyi reunited with Lu Ye before agreeing to accompany him.
• Li Shang, Zhang Zishan, and the Immortal Yuan Guards arrived from the Soul Race Ancestral Land.
• Zhang Zishan led the Immortal Yuan Guards in declaring their readiness to fight for Nine Provinces, and Xu Yuan urged everyone to leave before more Soul Race members arrived.

Lu Ye gathered the Soul Race, Nine Provinces, and Little People Race forces to prepare for war against the Purple Jade army. After summoning reinforcements from the Southern and Western Divisions of Square Inch Mountain, he planned to take the assembled army directly to the Azure Dawn Dao Realm and intercept the enemy there.

• Lu Ye received eleven Soul Race Sunlights, over a hundred Moon Jade Realm cultivators, and several thousand Star Constellations, then led them to Square Inch Mountain.
• Lu Ye found the Nine Provinces cultivators assembled beneath Immortal Spirit Peak and confirmed that the Southern and Western Divisions had agreed to send reinforcements.
• Chen Xuanhai told the Soul Race Sunlights that Lu Ye had recovered and refined Square Inch Mountain’s core, making him its master.

• Lu Ye outlined a plan to intercept the Purple Jade army before it reached the Azure Dawn Dao Realm and proposed transporting the gathered forces there with Square Inch Mountain.

Lu Ye gathered the allied cultivators at Square Inch Mountain near the Turbulent Blast Zone to defend Jade Snail from Purple Jade, but the enemy army had not appeared. Qin Yi arrived from Northern Profound and warned Lu Ye that Jade Snail faced a great calamity.

• Lu Ye moved Square Inch Mountain toward the Azure Dawn Dao Realm with the Little People Race’s support, then gathered cultivators from the allied races and the realm’s defenders aboard it.
• Lu Ye positioned Square Inch Mountain near the Turbulent Blast Zone, where Purple Jade’s army was expected to pass, and ordered Yan Miao to collect a drop of Essence Blood from every cultivator for a secret of the Merfolk Race.
• Chou Wu led the Jade Snail cultivators to join the alliance, but Purple Jade’s forces still did not appear, so Lu Ye prepared to investigate the Turbulent Blast Zone.
• A Little People Race Sunlight alerted Lu Ye to a visitor, and Lu Ye met Qin Yi, who had traveled from Northern Profound to warn him that Jade Snail was about to face a great calamity.
• Lu Ye asked Qin Yi what she knew, while she urged him to flee with everyone he could.

Qin Yi warned Lu Ye that Purple Jade Demon Star was approaching Jade Conch with a formidable army, but Lu Ye brought her to Square Inch Mountain and revealed its gathered strength. Seeing the many Sunlights assembled there, Qin Yi realized Lu Ye was prepared for the coming attack.

• Qin Yi told Lu Ye that ten Sunlight Great Demon Venerables and more than ten thousand troops from Purple Jade were headed for Jade Conch, and explained that the Four Directions Star System had sent her to warn him and protect his family.
• Qin Yi recounted how the Four Directions Star System learned Purple Jade's target was Jade Conch and decided to host its army to delay the invasion while she hurried ahead.
• Lu Ye brought Qin Yi through a disguised meteorite into Square Inch Mountain, where she sensed numerous Sunlights and encountered cultivators from many races.
• Lu Ye introduced Qin Yi to Su Yuqing and the assembled cultivators at Immortal Spirit Peak.
• Qin Yi saw the strength gathered in the hall and stopped worrying, realizing Lu Ye's side was ready for Purple Jade's attack.
