Chapter Summaries

• Lu Ye joined the assault as the besieged city's cultivators were routed, and Yuan Xi used a treasure to conceal the Central Great Hall before Lu Ye used his special ability.
• Yuan Xi explained that the defeated City Lord had escaped with the Uniting Dao Pearl, since her side had allowed him to flee rather than risk destroying it.

Yuan Xi and Lu Ye collected Uniting Dao Pearl fragments from a destroyed city and profited from an agreement with two City Lords. Lu Ye used the Dao Fish payment to nurture the Crag Mountain Saber until it reached a new limit, greatly increasing his strength.

Lu Ye traveled with Kun Li to the gathering for a contest and learned that powerful candidates, including Sons of the Star Abyss and members of the Dragon and Phoenix Races, might take part. Kun Li warned him to be cautious as they approached the contest site.

• After a month in Yuan Xi City, Lu Ye received a Battle Arena message and went to the Hehe Realm, where a cultivator from Kun Li City took him to Kun Li.
• Kun Li welcomed Lu Ye as his younger brother, called himself Brother Li, and brought him along as Kun Li City traveled toward the contest.

• Kun Li advised Lu Ye not to provoke the Dragon and Phoenix Races, explaining that candidates from the Top Ten Uniting Dao Cities might also seek Sub-Treasures.

Lu Ye entered a Starry Sky Spectacle to seek a Sub-Treasure nurtured by the Supreme Treasure Moon Wheel. After a poisonous jellyfish reacted to his touch and drew the others into a fiery-red swarm, Lu Ye stopped fleeing and unleashed a Saber Lotus.

• Kun Li explained that Qin Feng had sent Lu Ye to compete for a rare Sub-Treasure nurtured by the Moon Wheel, while warning him not to provoke the Dragon and Phoenix Races.

• Lu Ye tried to flee but drew an ever-growing mass of jellyfish, then stopped as they engulfed him and formed a huge sphere.
• A Saber Lotus bloomed amid the flickering fiery-red jellyfish.

Lu Ye pretended to be poisoned to lure out and kill two Fusion Dao cultivators, then searched the Starry Sky Spectacle for the gestating Moon Wheel Sub-Treasure. He came upon a bald cultivator under siege, accepted the man’s improvised plea for help, and stopped an attacker’s Dao Soldier with one hand.

• Lu Ye agreed to help and caught the attacker’s Dao Soldier in his bare hand, stopping the blow effortlessly.

Lu Ye defeated several Merging Dao cultivators and spared a bald survivor after the man offered to use his Divination Tribe ability to locate the Moon Wheel Sub-Treasure. The divination pointed Lu Ye toward the greatest harvest, but the bald man then warned that Lu Ye faced a danger balanced between life and death.

• Lu Ye killed the Merging Dao cultivator who attacked him and then slew the man's fleeing companion with his saber.
• The bald Merging Dao cultivator prostrated himself and offered to divine where the Sub-Treasure would emerge in exchange for his life.
• The bald man used Lu Ye's blood and three turtle shells to perform a divination, then pointed out the direction of the greatest harvest.
• As Lu Ye prepared to leave, the bald man warned that he would face a hair's breadth between life and death, and Lu Ye drew his saber in suspicion.

Lu Ye spared the bald Divination Tribe member after he swore his prediction of a deadly peril was true, then headed toward the danger. Outside the Starry Sky Spectacle, Kun Li and other Dao Unification cultivators realized Ba Qiu had arrived in One Man City, apparently intending to seize the Moon Wheel while their juniors were inside.

• Lu Ye stopped himself from killing the bald man after he swore by the Star Abyss Will that his warning was true, then left to investigate the predicted peril.

• Lu Ye and Perrin, a Son of the Star Abyss from Hundred Battles, met and prepared to fight.
• Perrin attacked with his silver spear, and Lu Ye recognized that it seemed to be a Sub-Treasure.

Lu Ye overpowered Perrin, a Son of the Star Abyss wielding a silver spear Sub-Treasure, but Perrin escaped using a life-saving secret treasure. Lu Ye pursued him, and Perrin raced past two Fusion Dao cultivators without stopping.

• Perrin changed direction and rushed toward a man and a woman, who recognized him and feared his approach.
• Perrin ignored the pair and sped past them as he tried to escape Lu Ye.

Lu Ye pursued the wounded Perrin into a strange Uniting Dao City, where an overwhelming force pinned them both in place. They found the city belonged to Ba Qiu, a terrifying powerhouse whose attention fixed on Lu Ye’s Crag Mountain Saber.

• Perrin identified himself as a cultivator from Hundred Battles City, greeted Ba Qiu, and asked to leave.
• Ba Qiu remained silent and stared at the Crag Mountain Saber in Lu Ye’s hand.

Ba Qiu ordered Lu Ye and Perrin to choose who would live and who would die, then struck Lu Ye and left him gravely injured with most of his Dao Power sealed. Lu Ye discovered Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier belonged to the Weapon Race, while Perrin went to finish him off.

• Ba Qiu declared that one of Lu Ye and Perrin would live and the other would die.
• Lu Ye greeted Ba Qiu as a fellow Human Race cultivator, but Ba Qiu responded with killing intent and struck him with his great sword.

• Fang recognized Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier as a member of the Weapon Race and explained that its power could weaken enemies by sealing their strength.
• Perrin charged toward the wounded Lu Ye to take his head.

Ba Qiu sealed Lu Ye's power and forced him into a desperate fight with Perrin, where Lu Ye killed Perrin and shattered his Sub-Treasure. Lu Ye realized Ba Qiu had engineered the fight to help Fang gain benefits, then a familiar ally carried him away as he lay exhausted.

• Fu Wei said he had an unreasonable request if Lu Ye truly wanted to repay him, and Lu Ye asked him to explain.

As Lu Ye recovered in hiding, a beautiful young man found them, shattered their concealment, and confronted Lu Ye with unexplained hostility.

• Fu Wei asked to join Lu Ye’s Uniting Dao City, and Lu Ye said he would consider it.
• Fu Wei explained that his divination showed Lu Ye had already obtained his greatest gain, prompting Lu Ye to challenge the prediction because the Moon Wheel Sub-Treasure had not appeared.
• Fu Wei declined to divine again because he had exhausted his strength and urged the injured Lu Ye to leave, but Lu Ye sent him away and chose to stay.

• The young man ignored Fu Wei, focused on Lu Ye, and insulted him for daring to come there with so little ability.

Lu Ye fought a hostile young man whose body-fusing Dao Soldier and secret technique gave him the advantage. Lu Ye identified the technique as the Phoenix Race’s Ox-Striking Mystic Art, and the young man’s reaction to Su Yan’s name suggested personal jealousy as he threatened to kill Lu Ye.

• Fu Wei recognized the young man as someone dangerous and fled after warning Lu Ye to avoid him.
• Lu Ye attacked the young man, but his stronger opponent used a body-fusing Dao Soldier and the Ox-Striking Mystic Art to injure him through his saber.

• Lu Ye identified the Ox-Striking Mystic Art and concluded that the young man belonged to the Phoenix Race.
• The young man learned that Su Yan had taught Lu Ye the secret technique, reacted with anguish, and vowed to kill him.

Lu Ye questioned Su Yun, a Phoenix Race cultivator who had tracked him because he bore the Phoenix Race's mark, then fought him after mistaking his hostility for romantic jealousy. Su Yun fled after their techniques clashed, leaving Lu Ye to suspect he was related to Su Yan and wonder whether she had come to the contest.

• Lu Ye learned that Su Yun had found him through the Phoenix Race mark left by the Phoenix Origin Blood, and asked whether Su Yan had come.
• Su Yun attacked Lu Ye and used spatial distortions to make his strikes evade Lu Ye's blocks.

• Su Yun revealed his phoenix wings, and the clash sent both cultivators flying before he fled.
• Lu Ye noticed Su Yun's resemblance to Su Yan and reconsidered whether Su Yun was a love rival, but still did not know if Su Yan had come.

Lu Ye was drawn into One Man City, where Fang spoke with Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier while Lu Ye cultivated and discovered his Dao Power affinity had greatly improved. When a Sub-Treasure emerged, Lu Ye set out to claim it, and Fang revealed that Ba Qiu planned to use the Moon Wheel to devour the Supreme Treasure’s mysteries.

• Lu Ye was pulled into One Man City and placed Fang beside Ba Qiu’s greatsword so the two Weapon Race members could speak.
• While Fang and Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier talked, Lu Ye cultivated and gained roughly one thousand strands of Dao Power per day; Ba Qiu noticed his extraordinary cultivation efficiency.

• Lu Ye left One Man City using the Blood Escape Art, and Fang explained that Ba Qiu had come to pursue the Moon Wheel and planned to have his Dao Soldier devour the Supreme Treasure’s mystery.
• Fang said Ba Qiu’s Dao Soldier had left a mark that let him use the Hehe Realm to reach One Man City, and advised Lu Ye to let her strike him when he fought a Sub-Treasure holder so she could seal his strength.

Lu Ye fought his way through the forces guarding a newly emerged Sub-Treasure and rescued Su Yun from a group of cultivators besieging him. After Lu Ye killed the attackers, Su Yun was left stunned by his strength and furious at being called “little brother-in-law.”

Lu Ye agreed to help Su Yun seize a Sub-Treasure after learning it was meant for Su Yan, who was preparing to advance to Dao Fusion. As they headed toward the gathered enemies, Su Yun learned that Lu Ye had killed Perrin in Ba Qiu's Dao Fusion City and was stunned that Ba Qiu had entered while controlling his own city.

• Lu Ye teased Su Yun by calling him his little brother-in-law and asked how Su Yan was doing.

Lu Ye and Su Yun reached the Moon Wheel Sub-Treasure amid a sea of jellyfish that suppressed the cultivators’ fighting spirit. After the Sub-Treasure emerged and began a trial to select its own master, darkness engulfed Lu Ye.

• Lu Ye and Su Yun entered the jellyfish sea and found that its strange aura dampened their fighting spirit.
• They reached the gathering of more than a hundred cultivators, where Xue Huang explained that the Sub-Treasure would choose its own master.
