Chapter Summaries

Lu Ye entered his name in the Dragon Scroll and received Dragon Race cultivation methods, but an increasingly strong sensation drew him away from training. Before he could leave Dragon City, Yang Kuang challenged him to prove his strength, and their first punch left Yang Kuang stunned.

• Dragon Sovereign inscribed Lu Ye's name in the Dragon Scroll, which accepted his soul blood and connected him to the Dragon Race elders.
• Lu Ye greeted the elders through the Dragon Scroll and learned that its shadow in his Divine Sea let Dragon Race members communicate across distances.

• As a vague sensation disrupted his cultivation, Lu Ye sent Dragon Sovereign messages and left Zhu Yin's palace, where he saw Zhu Yin speaking with Yang Kuang.
• Yang Kuang challenged Lu Ye to withstand ten breaths of attacks using only Dragon Veins, and the watching Dragon Race members let their test proceed.
• Lu Ye met Yang Kuang's punch with his full strength, and Yang Kuang's half-strength blow collapsed against Lu Ye's vastly stronger fist.

Lu Ye left Dragon City after defeating Yang Kuang and returned to Yuan Xi City to reunite with his companions. The Dragon Sovereign and Phoenix Lord decided to keep their races’ involvement with Lu Ye limited because of his status as the Son of the Star Abyss.

• Lu Ye sent Yang Kuang flying with a single punch, leaving Yang Kuang pretending to be unconscious from embarrassment.
• The Dragon Sovereign explained to the Phoenix Lord that Lu Ye’s strength made it pointless to send people to watch over him, and warned that his Son of the Star Abyss status could draw unwanted attention after reaching Dao Integration.

• Lu Ye learned that Fu Wei had reached Dao Integration, unaware that Fu Wei’s strength and cultivation were tied to his own destiny.
• Lu Ye surveyed Yuan Xi City’s remaining residents and noted that Yayi and Kuzhi seemed close to breaking through.

Lu Ye learned that Yuan Xi had returned to Chiluan City to honor her agreement with Ni Chiluan, while Lian also prepared to leave. After Lian warned him about the risks of inheriting the Cosmos-tier city, Lu Ye decided to take over Yuan Xi City and successfully became its lord.

• Lian told Lu Ye that Yuan Xi had returned to Chiluan City because she had promised Ni Chiluan she would return once Yuan Xi City advanced to Cosmos-tier.
• Lian gave Lu Ye a token to visit Yuan Xi and said she was leaving to oversee Golden Stamen Tower, while Yuan Xi had left the city to Lu Ye.
• Lian advised Lu Ye not to inherit the City Lord's position until he had enough foundation and suggested that he seek protection from one of the Top Ten.
• Lu Ye told the gathered cultivators that he would refine the Uniting Dao Pearl and inherit the City Lord's position.
• Lu Ye imprinted himself on the Uniting Dao Pearl, and two days later he became the lord of Yuan Xi City.

Lu Ye left Yuan Xi City in You Die’s command and traveled toward an unknown destination while cultivating Dragon Race secret techniques and seeking Uniting Dao Pearl fragments. A Dragon Descendant ambushed him near a Heaven-tier Uniting Dao City, hoping to extract his Dragon Vein, but Lu Ye showed no fear as their fight began.

• Lu Ye appointed You Die to lead Yuan Xi City toward Dragon City and told its people to work together while he was away.
• Lu Ye traveled through the Void on a meteorite, cultivating the Heavenly Saint Dragon Guard and studying Dragon Race secret techniques.
• Lu Ye encountered a Uniting Dao City and a group of attackers who had mistaken his Dragon Might for that of a Dragon Descendant.
• The burly City Lord demanded that Lu Ye surrender his Dragon Vein, and Lu Ye welcomed the chance to obtain the city’s Uniting Dao Pearl fragments.
• The burly man attacked with his Dragon Might and a Salamander Rock Horned Python phantom, but Lu Ye withstood the pressure without reacting.

Lu Ye revealed his pure-blooded Dragon Race power, killed the Heaven-tier city's City Lord and two Uniting Dao cultivators, then broke through the city's defenses and took its Uniting Dao Pearl. After collecting the materials he needed, he left before he could search the treasury, feeling urged onward again.

• The burly City Lord attacked Lu Ye, but Lu Ye's Dragon Shadow suppressed him before Lu Ye killed him with a saber strike that severed his Dao Bone.
• Lu Ye used Inch Blade to kill the City Lord's two Uniting Dao subordinates as they fled, gaining only two Star Abyss Coins from the three deaths.
• When the Heaven-tier city tried to escape, Lu Ye ordered its inhabitants to retreat to the Hehe Realm and repeatedly struck its Protective Grand Array.
• The remaining Uniting Dao cultivator abandoned the city's defenses and fled through the Uniting Dao Pearl, allowing Lu Ye to break the weakened array after ten more slashes.
• Lu Ye let the surviving Fusion Dao cultivators escape, shattered the Uniting Dao Pearl, and collected its fragments for his fifth-level Small World Secret Technique.
• Lu Ye gathered the dead cultivators' belongings and left the city without searching its treasury when the feeling urging him onward returned.

After two years of cultivating, Lu Ye reached the fifth level of the Small World Secret Technique and improved his defensive technique before arriving at a Star Abyss Mosquito attacking a starry sky's barrier. Forced by his Son of the Star Abyss identity to aid the Mosquito, he gathered Star Abyss aura while limiting his effort, then ignored it and continued cultivating.

• Over two years, Lu Ye raised the Small World Secret Technique to the fifth level, increasing his foundational strength, and made progress with the Heavenly Saint Dragon Guard.
• Lu Ye arrived at a desolate region and recognized a Star Abyss Mosquito piercing a Starry Sky Barrier.
• Lu Ye realized the will had summoned him to help the Mosquito destroy the barrier and open a Star Abyss Gate.
• Lu Ye gathered Star Abyss aura for the Mosquito but deliberately limited how much he contributed.
• Lu Ye left the Mosquito to its work and continued building his World Pillar and cultivating the Heavenly Saint Dragon Guard.

After completing the sixth level of the Small World Secret Technique, Lu Ye killed the Star Abyss Mosquitoes despite expecting to lose the Star Abyss will’s favor. The Starry Sky Barrier shattered anyway, and a mysterious hammer attack struck him from the Star Abyss Gate, while the will’s favor toward him unexpectedly increased.

• Lu Ye completed the sixth level of the Small World Secret Technique, bringing the number of Dao Patterns in his Inner Realm to 2,800.
• Seeing the cracking Starry Sky Barrier and recognizing the danger the Star Abyss Mosquitoes posed, Lu Ye drew his Crag Mountain Saber and attacked it.
• Lu Ye used the Vibrating Blade Technique to split the Star Abyss Mosquitoes in two and realized it had formed from the accumulated hatred and rage of a destroyed starry sky.
• The Starry Sky Barrier rapidly shattered, and a hammer-shaped attack erupted from it, striking Lu Ye and sending him flying hundreds of miles.
• Lu Ye recognized the attack as the power of a Supreme Treasure and discovered that the Star Abyss will’s favor toward him had grown rather than diminished.
• Lu Ye concluded that the inhabitants on the other side had actively shattered the Starry Sky Barrier.

Lu Ye entered the Star Abyss Gate and found a starry sky populated by towering, powerful cultivators, including the wielder of a Supreme Treasure. When they attacked him, he demonstrated his strength, while Fang detected five Sub-Treasures among them.

• Lu Ye passed through the Star Abyss Gate and found a group of giant cultivators whose weakest members were Fusion Dao cultivators.
• He recognized the Supreme Treasure hammer held by the tallest giant as the source of the earlier attack.
• The giant ordered his people to kill Lu Ye, and Lu Ye tried to explain that he meant no harm.
• Lu Ye used his speed and saber to defeat several attackers, including Fusion Dao and Harmony Dao cultivators, while sparing a woman’s life.
• Fang told Lu Ye that five Sub-Treasures were among the giants, astonishing him.

Lu Ye confronted the Giant Spirit Race after emerging from an Inner Realm Star Abyss Gate, then explained that his own starry sky was also under invasion. After demonstrating the gap in strength between himself and other Inner Realm cultivators, he advised Chong Li to mobilize the Giant Spirits and use their Supreme Treasures to repair the Starry Sky Barrier.

• Lu Ye introduced himself to Chong Li and told the Giant Spirits that he had left his own invaded starry sky to seek a solution.
• Chong Li revealed that the Giant Spirits had resisted the Star Abyss for ten thousand years and knew of the Outer Realm and Inner Realm.
• Lu Ye confirmed that the Star Abyss Gate connected to the Inner Realm, alarming the Giant Spirits about the new threat.
• Another Dao Fusion cultivator emerged from the gate and mistook the Giant Spirits for fellow invaders, so Lu Ye killed him with one saber strike.
• Lu Ye told Chong Li that Inner Realm cultivators would be drawn to the exposed starry sky and urged the Giant Spirits to gather their forces and use Supreme Treasures to repair its flaws.
• Chong Li accepted Lu Ye's advice and thanked him, noting that his starry sky had several Supreme Treasure owners.

Lu Ye agreed to help the Giant Spirit Race defend its Star Abyss Gate while awaiting reinforcements, then questioned Yingluo about their starry sky. He learned that their Supreme Treasure, the Creation Divine Cauldron, could refine Sub-Treasures, and asked how the process worked.

• Lu Ye agreed to guard the Star Abyss Gate temporarily but said he would act only if absolutely necessary.
• Yingluo brought Lu Ye a fruit, and he invited her to eat with him while asking about her starry sky.
• Yingluo told Lu Ye that their starry sky had eight Star Abyss Gates and around a hundred Uniting Dao cultivators.
• After Chong Li urged her to speak honestly, Yingluo revealed that their Supreme Treasure, the Creation Divine Cauldron, could refine Sub-Treasures from other Supreme Treasures.
• Lu Ye asked how the cauldron refined Sub-Treasures, and Yingluo began explaining that the Supreme Treasure had to be consulted first.

Lu Ye learned how the Creation Divine Cauldron had helped the Giant Spirit Starry Sky resist the Star Abyss invasion and met the treasure in its humanlike manifestation. He asked it for dozens or even a hundred Sub-Treasures, and it directed him to seek the Huang Liang Mirror, which could draw him into a dream where everything existed.

• Lu Ye learned that the Creation Divine Cauldron had persuaded other Supreme Treasures to produce Sub-Treasures and aid the starry sky's defense.
• Qing Liu, Chong Li, and another Supreme Treasure master agreed that Qing Liu would repair the Star Abyss Gate while the others guarded it, allowing Lu Ye to leave.
• Yingluo guided Lu Ye through an Insect Path to the Great Cauldron Realm, where he met the Creation Divine Cauldron in the form of a young girl.
• Lu Ye asked the Divine Venerable how to obtain several dozen or perhaps a hundred Sub-Treasures.
• The Divine Venerable directed Lu Ye to the Huang Liang Mirror, explaining that it could send him into a dream where everything existed, and noted that the starry sky had only a little over two hundred Sub-Treasures.

Lu Ye sought Sub-Treasures from the Creation Divine Cauldron, but she offered him a different bargain: subdue the Myriad Poison Bead, and she would help condense many Sub-Treasures for him. He followed her Star Map into a forbidden region, where the bead’s powerful poison began to seep through the Void.

• Lu Ye asked the Creation Divine Cauldron for many Sub-Treasures, but she said the Starry Sky could not spare them and tested whether he would seize them by force.
• The Creation Divine Cauldron asked Lu Ye to protect the Starry Sky’s living beings if their home was destroyed, and Lu Ye agreed to shelter them in the Inner Realm.
• The Creation Divine Cauldron gave Lu Ye a Star Map and promised to condense many Sub-Treasures if he subdued the Myriad Poison Bead and brought it to her.
• Lu Ye followed the route, absorbed energy from an uninhabited star system to replenish the Talent Tree, and reached the forbidden region where the bead was hiding.
• Lu Ye sensed the Myriad Poison Bead’s tyrannical poison drifting through the Void, but his Heavenly Saint Dragon Guard kept it outside his body.

Lu Ye entered the Starry Sky Spectacle to find the Myriad Poison Bead, but its Poison Corpses overwhelmed him with explosive toxins. After his body lay motionless for days, a tiny emerald-green presence entered him through his nostril.

• Lu Ye reached the enormous Starry Sky Spectacle where the Myriad Poison Bead had been nurtured and plunged inside to search for it.
• A giant spirit Poison Corpse attacked Lu Ye, and he cut it apart before it exploded into a poisonous cloud that engulfed him.
• The Myriad Poison Bead sent numerous Poison Corpses against Lu Ye, whose bodies exploded whenever he cut them down.
• Lu Ye was corroded by poison and trapped by the Poison Corpses until he lay motionless, apparently dead.
• After several days, a tiny emerald-green presence approached Lu Ye and entered his body through his nostril.

Lu Ye tracked down and captured the Myriad Poison Bead after using its poison to find its hidden true body, though he returned deeply poisoned. The Creation Divine Cauldron swallowed the bead to refine it into Sub-Treasures, while Lu Ye recovered nearby and waited to learn what she would give him.

• Lu Ye suppressed the green gleam inside his body and used its connection to the Myriad Poison Bead to track the treasure through the wonder.
• Lu Ye placed the green gleam in his Small World, followed the fleeing Myriad Poison Bead, and captured it after half a day.
• Lu Ye returned to the Great Cauldron Realm with the bead, and the Creation Divine Cauldron took it from him and swallowed it to refine its Sub-Treasures.
• The Creation Divine Cauldron told Lu Ye to wait nearby and promised him the Sub-Treasures if he survived, then returned to her realm.
• Lu Ye spent nearly half a month on a meteorite burning away the deadly poison before settling in to wait.

Lu Ye received ninety-nine Myriad Poison Bead Sub-Treasures from the exhausted Creation Divine Cauldron and prepared to leave the Giant Spirits’ starry sky for the Outer Realm. After he departed with Yingluo, the Creation Divine Cauldron revealed that she had used the Giant Spirits’ teacher-student bond to secure his promise of help and warned that sealing Star Abyss Gates could not prevent the calamity forever.

• Lu Ye taught the Giant Spirit Dao Fusion cultivators Dao Patterns, and the Creation Divine Cauldron summoned him after refining the Myriad Poison Bead for two years.
• The Creation Divine Cauldron gave Lu Ye ninety-nine jade-green Sub-Treasures and reminded him of his promise to help the starry sky if disaster came.
• Lu Ye gave the Creation Divine Cauldron a token that would let anyone from the starry sky find him through Arena Master Qin Feng in the Hehe Realm.
• Lu Ye left for the Outer Realm with Yingluo as his guide while Chong Li and the other Giant Spirits saw them off.
• After Lu Ye departed, the Creation Divine Cauldron revealed that her exhausted appearance had been a ploy to reinforce his promise and warned Chong Li that sealed gates could not solve the invasion at its root.

Lu Ye returned to the Outer Realm and sensed that its boundary with the Inner Realm was growing blurred, threatening the starry skies with stronger invasions. A new summons from the Star Abyss Will diverted him from his journey toward Variegated, while consuming Myriad Poison Bead Sub-Treasures caused the Talent Tree to transform into a Fire Seed.

• Lu Ye entered a Star Abyss Gate, sensed Variegated across the void, and realized he could remain in the Outer Realm because its boundary with the Inner Realm was blurring.
• Lu Ye feared that the merging of the Outer and Inner Realms would expose starry skies to Harmony Dao invasions, then set off toward Variegated.
• A new summons from the Star Abyss Will pulled Lu Ye away from his route, and he changed direction to investigate its mission.
• Lu Ye consumed all ninety-nine Myriad Poison Bead Sub-Treasures and saw a flower bud appear on the Talent Tree.
• Lu Ye exchanged Star Abyss Coins for two more Sub-Treasures, and after consuming the second, the Talent Tree transformed into a Fire Seed.

Lu Ye entered a sinister Starry Sky Spectacle after being summoned and met several Harmony Dao cultivators who had received the same summons. There, City Lord Xuan Huai revealed a Grand Array he had planned for ten thousand years and assigned them positions to help activate it.

• Lu Ye noticed that Star Abyss Gates, Harmony Dao cultivators, and blurred boundaries between the Outer and Inner Realms had become increasingly common.
• Lu Ye reached a burial-mound-like Starry Sky Spectacle and joined Three-Eyed Mi Ye and two other Harmony Dao cultivators who had also been summoned there.
• The group discovered that Harmony Dao cultivators could use their power freely inside the spectacle without sinking toward the Inner Realm.
• Xuan Huai appeared, and the dwarf cultivator recognized him as a renowned former city lord.
• Xuan Huai gave the four cultivators incomplete Formation Maps and told them to take their assigned positions to maintain his Grand Array, which he had planned for ten thousand years.

Lu Ye and the others learned that Xuan Huai had once challenged Xiao Qianchen for control of Eternal City before joining a ten-thousand-year effort to erode the seal on a mysterious iron pillar. As Lu Ye entered Xuan Huai’s vast Grand Array, he realized its purpose was to weaken the sealing power of the Iron Pillar Divine Object.

• Mi Ye asked about Xuan Huai, and the dwarf Uniting Dao cultivator explained that Xuan Huai had been the Inner Realm’s most famous powerhouse and the only cultivator to challenge a Top Ten City Lord.
• The cultivators revealed that Xuan Huai had attacked Eternal City, where Xiao Qianchen slashed away half his face, and that Xuan Huai had maintained a Formation for ten thousand years to erode something.
• Lu Ye and the others entered the spectacle’s interior and found Fusion Dao cultivators feeding power into Xuan Huai’s Grand Array.
• The group saw a colossal iron-pillar divine object suppressing something in the Void, and the dwarf told them to take their places in the Formation.
• Lu Ye entered the Grand Array, sensed its vast scale and compatibility, and realized it was eroding the Iron Pillar Divine Object’s Sealing Power.

Lu Ye recognized the Iron Pillar Divine Object as a relic of the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors and realized Xuan Huai planned to remove its seal on the Star Abyss Will’s orders. He killed Xuan Huai’s Clone, but the real Xuan Huai rushed in to confront him.

• Nearly ten thousand Uniting Dao cultivators helped Xuan Huai’s Grand Array break the seal on the Iron Pillar Divine Object.
• Lu Ye sensed traces like the Ancestral Abyss Restriction and concluded that the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors had left the object behind.
• Lu Ye questioned Xuan Huai, learned he did not know what the object suppressed, and understood that the Star Abyss Will had tasked him with removing it.
• Lu Ye beheaded Xuan Huai, but realized he had killed only a Clone with fewer than a hundred Dao Bones.
• Xuan Huai roared in anger and charged toward Lu Ye with an enormous spear.

Lu Ye battled Xuan Huai, whose ten-thousand-year scheme was guided by the will of the Star Abyss, and discovered that killing him brought punishment from that will. Lu Ye kept attacking despite being branded a rebellious son, while his Star Abyss blessings vanished and Xuan Huai survived badly wounded.

• Lu Ye and Xuan Huai clashed, and Xuan Huai realized Lu Ye matched his strength without borrowing external power.
• Lu Ye unleashed his full strength, but the Star Abyss will punished him for attacking Xuan Huai, stripping away one blessing and letting Xuan Huai escape a fatal strike.
• Xuan Huai recognized Lu Ye as a Son of the Star Abyss and called him a rebellious son, while Lu Ye understood that the will was protecting its plan.
• Lu Ye roared with Dragon Might and attacked again, breaking Xuan Huai's locust-tree defense and driving him back as another blessing disappeared.
• Lu Ye struck Xuan Huai nearly in two, but Xuan Huai noticed Lu Ye had weakened again after losing all three blessings.
