Chapter Summaries

Lu Ye discovered the Azure Conch could open a portal to Merfolk territory every seven days, but he remained trapped in the Star Constellation Hall and missed the Ranking Battle. The Hall closed with Lu Ye still inside, while Fa Wuzun’s name disappeared from the Accumulation Board.

• Lu Ye used the Azure Conch to take Bai Lu back through a portal to Sky Conch Hall, then returned to the Star Constellation Hall as the portal vanished.
• Lu Ye learned that the Azure Conch required seven days to recharge, that blowing it opened a portal at an imprinted location, and that its travel range remained unknown.
• Chu Shen and Little Dummy, Little Crooked, Cai Yue, and Cai Xing failed to contact Fa Wuzun as his unanswered challenges pushed him off the Accumulation Board.
• The Star Constellation Hall closed, imprinted the final Accumulation Board rankings into the Void, and expelled the cultivators inside into the Myriad Phenomena Star System.
• Lu Ye saw familiar names appear on the Hall’s black stone tablet and confirmed that his own name was absent.

Lu Ye advanced to the Star Constellation Realm Late Stage while clearing seaweed from the Star Constellation Hall, then finished removing the last patch and discovered two new objects inside. One was a palm-sized miniature of the hall, suggesting the hall had responded to his efforts.

• Lu Ye saw Pu Ke ranked 112th and You Ling ranked near 200th on the Accumulation Board, and considered their prospects for reaching the Moon Jade Realm.
• Lu Ye advanced from the Star Constellation Realm Middle Stage to the Late Stage and decided to slow his cultivation to protect his foundation.
• Lu Ye suspected the Star Constellation Hall might have influenced his decision to buy Fire Element treasures, which had enabled him to clear the seaweed.
• Lu Ye removed the final patch of seaweed from the hall's outer wall, causing the hall to shake violently.
• Lu Ye returned inside and found two new objects, including a palm-sized miniature Star Constellation Hall.

Lu Ye received a mysterious miniature Star Constellation Hall and a powerful saber inheritance as rewards, then returned to the Myriad Phenomena Star System. There, he encountered Chu Shen with five familiar women, and Chu Shen ordered them to form an array.

• Lu Ye found that the miniature Star Constellation Hall would not respond to his Spiritual Power, while the tiny blade triggered a vision of a saber technique that revealed it was an inheritance.
• Lu Ye recognized the blade as a saber inheritance far more advanced than the Overlord Saber Technique and was eager to study it.
• The Star Constellation Hall sent Lu Ye back to the Myriad Phenomena Star System, and he planned to test whether the Azure Conch could take him back.
• Lu Ye headed toward a nearby Dead Star and encountered Chu Shen leading Little Dummy, Little Crooked, the Cai Xing and Cai Yue sisters, and Invincible Lucky Star.
• Chu Shen recognized Lu Ye, declared that he had finally found him, and ordered the group to form an array.

Lu Ye, posing as Li Taibai, was confronted by Chu Shen and his companions, but broke their Black Tortoise Formation and subdued Chu Shen. When Lu Ye asked how Chu Shen wanted to settle the matter, Chu Shen claimed that Fa Wuzun was his big brother and would avenge him.

• Chu Shen formed the Black Tortoise Formation with Little Dummy, Little Crooked, Cai Xing, Cai Yue, and Lucky Star, then ordered them to attack Lu Ye.
• Lu Ye revealed his Star Constellation Realm Late Stage strength and struck at Little Dummy, while Chu Shen maneuvered the formation to protect her.
• Lu Ye shattered the sword dragon, resisted Chu Shen's Body Solidifying Mirror, and broke through the formation's defenses.
• Lu Ye destroyed Little Dummy's Formation Plate, collapsing the Black Tortoise, then held Chu Shen at swordpoint.
• Chu Shen insisted that he was Fa Wuzun's little brother and warned Lu Ye that Fa Wuzun would retaliate if he harmed him.

Lu Ye escaped after Chu Shen and the women recognized similarities between him and Fa Wuzun, then confirmed that he could use the Azure Conch to return to the Star Constellation Hall. He reunited with Bai Lu, but neither she nor her Seahorse Star Beast could open the hall’s doors from outside.

• Lu Ye spared Chu Shen and left, while Little Dummy noticed that his appearance and fighting style resembled Fa Wuzun’s.
• Chu Shen privately messaged Lu Ye, who realized that Chu Shen had likely identified him but intended to keep his secret.
• Lu Ye reached a Dead Star, activated the Azure Conch, and entered the Star Constellation Hall.
• Lu Ye opened the hall doors for Bai Lu, who said she had been unable to open them herself.
• Lu Ye shut the doors and watched Bai Lu and her Seahorse Star Beast fail to open them, leaving him puzzled.

Lu Ye tested the Azure Conch’s doorway and left the Star Constellation Hall after bidding farewell to Bai Lu, then returned to the Myriad Phenomena Sea to replenish the Talent Tree’s fire-element fuel. Along the way, he saw that his Shared Breath, Connected Branches Formation Plates were already changing the balance of power among the factions.

• Lu Ye discovered that he alone could open the Star Constellation Hall’s doors and told Bai Lu he was returning to the outside world.
• Bai Lu could not leave the Myriad Phenomena Sea because of her race’s curse poison, so she asked Lu Ye to visit again as he departed.
• Lu Ye returned to a cave on a Dead Star and concluded that the Azure Conch’s doorway lasted for less time when opened farther from the Star Constellation Hall.
• Lu Ye decided to store his Storage Rings in the Star Constellation Hall and headed to the Myriad Phenomena Sea to buy fire-element treasures for the Talent Tree.
• Lu Ye saw numerous Spirit Islands under attack and realized that factions were using his Shared Breath, Connected Branches Formation Plates to strengthen their forces.
• Major factions had been studying the Formation Plates for months, but they had not yet mastered their Spiritual Patterns or explained how Fa Wuzun had produced so many.

Lu Ye traveled across the Myriad Phenomena Sea, buying Fire Element treasures and a large supply of Dragon Breath Crystals from An Zhe on Myriad Phenomena Island. He settled in a remote Barren Island cave to prepare the Talent Tree’s fuel and found that his late Star Constellation Realm cultivation required about a thousand Lingyu each month.

• Lu Ye spent a month visiting more than a hundred Spirit Islands and buying useful local specialties, especially Fire Element treasures.
• On Myriad Phenomena Island, Lu Ye bought all of An Zhe’s Dragon Breath Crystals and arranged to exchange Sound Talisman imprints for future dealings.
• Lu Ye decided not to sell the seaweed, conches, or star beasts he had brought from the Star Constellation Hall because he could not explain their origins.
• Lu Ye traveled to a remote Barren Island, found a natural cave, left a controlled artifact outside, and concealed the cave with formations.
• Lu Ye tested his cultivation needs and found that he now required roughly a thousand Lingyu per month.

Lu Ye cultivated with Fire Element treasures and studied the inheritance in a small saber, discovering that Star Constellation Hall seaweed helped heal his divine sense. After half a month, the Talent Tree began its third Transformation, leaving Lu Ye without its power until the process was complete.

• Lu Ye fed Fire Element treasures to the Talent Tree while investigating the unresponsive Small Star Constellation Hall.
• Lu Ye repeatedly used his divine sense to study the small saber’s inheritance, strengthening his understanding and gradually improving his divine sense.
• Lu Ye discovered that the seaweed from the Star Constellation Hall sped the recovery of his injured divine sense.
• After half a month, Lu Ye sensed the Talent Tree had turned into a faint flame and realized it had begun its third Transformation.
• Lu Ye put away the remaining Fire Element treasures and planned to buy more Dragon Breath Crystals and eventually trade with the Merfolk Race.

Lu Ye waited for the Talent Tree’s third transformation to finish, then discovered it could burn impurities from other people and devour Fire Element treasures more quickly, though it gained no other obvious abilities. After preparing supplies, he set out for the Merfolk Race’s territory, where he planned to use the Azure Conch to reach them safely.

• Lu Ye left his Barren Island for Myriad Phenomena Island as the Talent Tree’s transformation neared completion, while Chu Shen occupied the island and invited him to help staff it.
• Lu Ye bought Fire Element treasures and Spiritual Pills at the Myriad Phenomena Merchant Association, then stayed there until the Talent Tree completed its transformation.
• Lu Ye discovered that the Talent Tree could burn impurities from others and devour Fire Element treasures more efficiently, but it still produced only one Clone and showed no other apparent changes.
• Lu Ye spent three days feeding the Talent Tree, then left Myriad Phenomena Island with Spiritual Pills for the Merfolk Race.
• Lu Ye reached a Barren Island, set up protection, and used the Azure Conch to begin the two-step journey to the Merfolk Race’s territory.

Lu Ye discovered that the Small Star Constellation Hall could transform Myriad Phenomena Sea water into refinable Starry Sky Energy and open a permanent portal to the main Star Constellation Hall. He confirmed its abilities but recognized that using it safely would be difficult because others might discover him.

• Lu Ye returned to the Star Constellation Hall through the Azure Conch portal, gathered his stored supplies, and killed an unfamiliar plump star beast.
• Lu Ye discovered that the Small Star Constellation Hall trembled in the sea and produced bubbles of pure Starry Sky Energy by devouring seawater.
• Lu Ye tested the Small Star Constellation Hall beneath the Myriad Phenomena Sea and learned to control how quickly it transformed seawater.
• Lu Ye entered the main Star Constellation Hall through a portal opened by the Small Star Constellation Hall, then returned to the sea and confirmed the portal had no time limit.
• Lu Ye compared the Small Star Constellation Hall with the Azure Conch and concluded that its seawater-transforming power was extraordinary, though using it unseen would be difficult.

Lu Ye placed the Small Star Constellation Hall beneath a Barren Island, hoping to gradually turn it into a Spirit Island for cultivators from Nine Provinces. After visiting Bai Lu with Spiritual Pills, he discovered that Chu Shen had chosen the same island as the base for his faction.

• Lu Ye hid the Small Star Constellation Hall beneath the Barren Island and moderated its power to test whether it could improve the island over time.
• Lu Ye visited Bai Lu through the gateway and gave her Spiritual Pills for the Merfolk Race.
• Lu Ye returned to the cave and encountered Cai Xing and Cai Yue, who apologized before leaving.
• Lu Ye found Chu Shen and his followers building a base on the Barren Island he had chosen.

Lu Ye let Chu Shen establish Overbearing Aura Palace on the Barren Island, reserving his cave area for himself while waiting to see whether the island became a Spirit Island. He discovered that the Talent Tree’s Third Transformation let him accelerate Spiritual Pattern deductions at the cost of fuel, and the chapter ended with Chu Shen asking him to rename Overbearing Aura Palace.

• Chu Shen met Lu Ye and offered to make the Barren Island Overbearing Aura Palace’s camp, but Lu Ye initially told him to find another place.
• Lu Ye reconsidered and allowed Overbearing Aura Palace to occupy the island on the condition that his cave area remained his.
• Lu Ye discovered that the Talent Tree’s Third Transformation let him control and speed up Spiritual Pattern deduction, though faster deduction consumed fuel more quickly.
• Chu Shen recruited more Star Constellation Realm cultivators and built up Overbearing Aura Palace while Lu Ye studied saber techniques and deduced Spiritual Patterns.
• Lu Ye learned why Little Dummy and the others had joined Chu Shen, then criticized the faction’s name, prompting Chu Shen to ask him to choose a new one.

Lu Ye named the island Wushuang Island and instructed Chu Shen to recruit selectively and establish a Grand Array. When the island began producing Starry Sky Energy, Chu Shen hurried to protect it, while Lu Ye lured Tang Jun to Recruitment Island, where Tang Jun offered himself for recruitment.

• Lu Ye named the island Wushuang Island, told Chu Shen to stop recruiting ordinary Star Constellation cultivators, and ordered him to establish a Grand Array.
• Lu Ye returned a Shared Breath, Connected Branches Formation Plate to Chu Shen, who accepted it gratefully.
• Little Crooked alerted Chu Shen that Wushuang Island had begun producing Starry Sky Energy, revealing that the Barren Island was coming alive.
• Chu Shen ordered Little Crooked to gather others and establish the Grand Array, then sent recruitment instructions to Lucky Star.
• Lu Ye urged Tang Jun to seek recruitment on Wushuang Island or Overbearing Aura Island, promising good things for Azure Dawn Dao Realm.
• Tang Jun found Lucky Star on Recruitment Island and offered to join Overbearing Aura Island, revealing his Moonlight Realm Mid Stage cultivation.

Lucky Star recruited Tang Jun and Ban Ci to join Chu Shen’s Peerless Palace, where they began overseeing the island’s Grand Array. Tang Jun later reunited with Lu Ye, marveled at his rapid rise to the Star Constellation Realm Late Stage, and agreed to stay on Peerless Island in exchange for regular cultivation quotas for people from his Azure Dawn Dao Realm.

• Lucky Star brought Tang Jun and Ban Ci to Peerless Island, where Chu Shen welcomed them and explained his plans for Peerless Palace.
• Ban Ci and Tang Jun agreed to stay and help establish the island’s Grand Array, and Chu Shen asked them to avoid disturbing his guest’s secluded area.
• Tang Jun joined Ban Ci, Little Crooked, and the others in setting up the array, then visited Lu Ye several days later.
• Tang Jun was stunned to discover that Lu Ye had advanced to the Star Constellation Realm Late Stage in roughly a year and a half.
• Lu Ye explained that he wanted Tang Jun to hold the fort on Peerless Island, and Tang Jun agreed on the condition that Azure Dawn Dao Realm cultivators receive regular quotas to enter the Peerless Continent for cultivation.

Tang Jun explained that the Azure Dawn Dao Realm prevented its Star Constellation cultivators from advancing to the Moon Jade Realm, and Lu Ye agreed to let one of its cultivators enter the Peerless Continent each year. After You Ling summoned Lu Ye to a distant Floating Land, he discovered that a Moon Jade Realm cultivator was pursuing her and prepared to flee.

• Tang Jun told Lu Ye that cultivators who advanced to Star Constellation within the Azure Dawn Dao Realm could not reach the Moon Jade Realm, and asked for one annual cultivation slot in the Peerless Continent.
• Lu Ye agreed to Tang Jun's request, and Tang Jun said that joining forces with Jade Conch could help their realms gain a foothold in the Myriad Phenomena Sea.
• Ban Ci introduced herself to Lu Ye as a new resident of Peerless Island, then left after learning his name.
• Lu Ye contacted You Ling to discuss her Ghost Pattern, and she sent him a location where they could meet.
• Lu Ye traveled to the Floating Land and found You Ling being chased by a Moon Jade Realm Mid Stage cultivator, so he summoned his Star Boat to escape.

Lu Ye fled from a Moon Jade Realm cultivator who had mistaken him for Fa Wuzun, but the pursuer marked him with a tracking technique and caught up despite repeated escapes. Lu Ye lured him to a Barren Star and blew the Azure Conch just as the cultivator struck him with a massive palm.

• You Ling called out to Lu Ye for help, but he fled aboard his Star Boat while the Moon Jade Realm cultivator recognized the name Fa Wuzun and attacked him.
• The cultivator's golden-rope Magic Treasure cut off strands of Lu Ye's hair; he burned the treasure to create a tracking mark, and You Ling warned Lu Ye that he might be followed.
• Lu Ye realized he was being tracked and repeatedly used Void Spirit Patterns to evade the cultivator, but the pursuer caught up each time.
• Lu Ye decided he had to confront the cultivator and flew to a Barren Star, where he blew the Azure Conch as the pursuer unleashed a gigantic palm strike.

Lu Ye lured the Moon Jade cultivator pursuing him through the Azure Conch doorway and fought him at Sky Conch Hall, where the Merfolk Race’s reinforcements forced the enemy to retreat. Just as the doorway trembled again, You Ling arrived and concealed herself in the Imperial Conch Palace.

• The Moon Jade cultivator followed Lu Ye through the doorway to the Merfolk Race’s territory, and Lu Ye threw the two guards aside before preparing an ambush.
• Lu Ye attacked the arriving cultivator with Tidal Sea Myriad Waves, weakening his strike before the enemy broke through and sent Lu Ye crashing into Sky Conch Hall’s wall.
• Great Elder Yan Miao arrived with other Moon Jade cultivators, prompting the pursuer to abandon his attempt to capture Lu Ye and head back toward the doorway.
• Lu Ye rushed to stop the enemy from escaping, but the doorway began trembling as another person came through.
• You Ling emerged from the doorway and hid herself, and Lu Ye recognized that she had stumbled into the Merfolk Race’s territory.

You Ling stumbled through Lu Ye’s portal into the Merfolk’s territory, where Lu Ye and the Merfolk elders defeated the Moon Jade Realm cultivator pursuing them. Lu Ye returned to Peerless Island, found its Spirit Island project thriving, and learned Chu Shen had run out of Lingyu while building the Grand Array.

• You Ling followed Fa Wuzun through a portal and clashed with the Moon Jade Realm cultivator who had been hunting her.
• Lu Ye seized You Ling, then worked with the Merfolk elders to trap and kill the pursuing cultivator; Bai Lu kept You Ling behind as Lu Ye escaped through the portal.
• Lu Ye healed on a Barren Star, returned to Peerless Island through the Myriad Phenomena Sea, and increased the Small Star Constellation Hall’s seawater-reversal efficiency.
• Lu Ye found Peerless Island growing richer in Starry Sky Energy and noticed passing cultivators watching it; Tang Jun continued overseeing the island’s construction.
• Chu Shen visited Lu Ye and admitted that he had spent all his Lingyu on the Grand Array and needed more.

Lu Ye returned to the Merfolk Race, received the defeated Moonlight Realm cultivator’s Storage Rings, and went to check on You Ling. You Ling escaped her cell by faking her weakness, but Lu Ye let her go, confident she would have to return to him.

• Lu Ye gave Chu Shen five million Lingyu to invest in Peerless Island’s Protective Grand Array, and Chu Shen declined offers to place the island under other factions’ jurisdiction.
• After checking that the Small Star Constellation Hall’s gateway still worked, Lu Ye used the Azure Conch to return to the Merfolk Race’s territory.
• Bai Lu told Lu Ye that the Moonlight Realm cultivator had died and handed him the cultivator’s Storage Rings, which were locked by Restrictions.
• Lu Ye changed his appearance to Fa Wuzun’s and went with Bai Lu to see You Ling, who was imprisoned and appeared gravely weakened.
• When the cell door opened, You Ling sprang up and escaped, but Lu Ye stopped Bai Lu from pursuing her and told You Ling to return when she was ready.

Lu Ye kept You Ling in the Imperial Conch Palace after she failed to escape, then returned to the Star Constellation Hall and Peerless Island. He left most of his Storage Rings in the hall and resumed studying Spiritual Patterns and the little blade inheritance.

• Lu Ye unlocked the Storage Rings taken from the Moonlight Realm cultivators and gave them to Bai Lu as spoils for the Merfolk Race.
• You Ling revealed herself in the cell, asked where she was, and insisted she had followed Lu Ye because she was worried about him.
• Lu Ye gave You Ling healing Spiritual Pills and left her to recover, while warning Bai Lu to keep her away from Bai Shuang.
• Lu Ye apologized to Great Elder Yan Miao and thanked the Merfolk Race before borrowing a Seahorse Star Beast to travel to the Star Constellation Hall.
• Lu Ye stored most of his Storage Rings in the hall, returned through the gateway to Peerless Island, and continued studying Spiritual Patterns and the little blade inheritance.
