Chapter Summaries

Lu Ye exposed Meng Xu as a traitor after Meng Xu’s Red Talisman attack killed several Red Talisman Society cultivators, then killed Meng Xu. Li Tian survived the remaining Red Talisman attacks, and Lu Ye led the others in unleashing a vast Blood Sea that swallowed him.

• Hu Dequan, Yang Ling, Meng Xu, and Lu Ye activated their Red Talismans to attack Li Tian.
• Meng Xu turned his Red Talisman against Lu Ye and the cultivators beside him, killing several before Lu Ye survived with his defensive Red Talisman.
• Lu Ye used the Vertical and Horizontal Movement Technique to slash Meng Xu, who admitted he had defected to Li Tian because he thought the Red Talisman Society could not win, then died.
• Lu Ye warned that Li Tian was still alive, and Hu Dequan and Yang Ling saw that Li Tian had survived their attacks, though he was injured.
• Lu Ye and the others unleashed the Blood Sea, which spread across a thousand kilometers and swallowed Li Tian as he welcomed it.

Lu Ye and the surviving cultivators killed Li Tian with a Red Talisman-enhanced slash, but Li Tian’s skeleton activated the Blood Eye Spirit Pattern engraved on its bones after his death. Lu Ye’s strongest saber strike could not damage it, and dispersed Qi and Blood began gathering around the skeleton.

• Lu Ye led the Red Talisman Society cultivators and Blood Attendants in a siege on the weakened Li Tian, while Li Tian fought recklessly and inflicted further casualties with his Divine Soul Power.

• After the survivors celebrated Li Tian’s apparent death, his skeleton glowed red and activated the Spirit Pattern.
• Lu Ye struck the skeleton with Drawing Saber Slash, but the red light blocked the attack as Li Tian’s dispersed Qi and Blood gathered into a sphere around the bones.

After Li Tian’s death, his skeleton and the Qi and Blood Power of fallen Sacred Blood Peak cultivators formed a Blood Eye Spirit Pattern that let the Blood Ancestor’s Treasure Blood Will descend into the source space. A Treasure Blood Clone appeared, and the chapter ended as she fixed her gaze on Zhou Ran and unleashed a burst of Blood Light.

• Lu Ye ordered the cultivators to attack the blood sphere, then realized it was drawing in the remnants of fallen Sacred Blood Peak cultivators’ Qi and Blood Power.
• Lu Ye and the others tried to block the incoming power, but the sphere absorbed enough to form a Blood Eye Spirit Pattern and resonate with the Treasure Blood Will outside.
• Lu Ye deduced that Li Tian had been guided to die so his skeleton and the fallen cultivators’ Sacred Nature could create an anchor for the Treasure Blood Will to enter the source space.
• The blood sphere transformed into a tall, red-haired Treasure Blood Clone, and its terrifying descent left Lu Ye and the other cultivators weakened.
• The Treasure Blood Clone turned toward Zhou Ran, reached out, and caused Blood Light to explode around him.

The Blood Ancestor's Treasure Blood Clone slaughtered the Blood Attendants and pursued Lu Ye, but he survived her control of Sacred Nature and Old Man Fang concealed him by manipulating space. The Clone then rushed toward the exposed source, leaving Lu Ye alive to regroup with Yang Ling, Hu Dequan, and the remaining Red Talisman Society cultivators.

• The Treasure Blood Clone killed Zhou Ran and another Blood Attendant by reclaiming their Sacred Nature, prompting Lu Ye and the survivors to flee.
• Lu Ye opened a doorway to the Little Flower Realm and sent Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu inside, then discovered the Treasure Blood Clone's control could not kill him.
• The Treasure Blood Clone charged at Lu Ye, but Old Man Fang distorted space and hid him from her sight.
• Old Man Fang's intervention exposed the source, and the Treasure Blood Clone flew toward it while Lu Ye reappeared unharmed.
• Lu Ye surveyed the heavy losses and summoned Yang Ling, Hu Dequan, and the surviving Red Talisman Society cultivators, who asked what the woman was.

Lu Ye learned that the Blood Ancestor's Treasure Blood Clone was corrupting the origin and that Old Man Fang had trapped her inside it. He began using the Talent Tree to refine the fused origin and Treasure Blood, despite knowing the process would destroy Old Man Fang's consciousness.

• Lu Ye explained that the Treasure Blood Clone came from the Blood Ancestor's Treasure Blood and that Li Tian had sacrificed himself to bring her into the Core World.
• Lu Ye and the Red Talisman Society cultivators watched as the Treasure Blood Clone's red radiance overwhelmed the origin's white light, then the two forces became entangled and surged toward them.
• Old Man Fang told Lu Ye that he had fused with the Treasure Blood Clone and trapped her, then urged Lu Ye to open his Divine Sea.
• The origin entered Lu Ye's Divine Sea, where he sensed the wills of the origin and Treasure Blood fighting within it.
• Lu Ye activated the Talent Tree to refine the origin, knowing that doing so would also erase Old Man Fang's consciousness.
• As the Treasure Blood resisted and the Talent Tree consumed its power, Lu Ye healed his body and began refining his stored Fire Element treasures.

Lu Ye finished erasing the Blood Ancestor's Treasure Blood will from the Square Inch Mountain core after three years of refinement, then freed the surviving Red Talisman Society cultivators from the sealed realm.

• Lu Ye completed three years of refinement, exhausting the Talent Tree's fuel and erasing the Treasure Blood's will, though some of the blood remained unrefined.

• Lu Ye let the Red Talisman Society members depart and sent the Xiang Yin sisters to cultivate at a Spirit Jade Vein.
• Lu Ye left the Core World, realized the Illusionary Blood Demonic Eye would no longer experience Demon Eye Blinks, and planned to take the Square Inch Mountain core to Jade Conch.
• Lu Ye found that the Little Flower Realm could not contain the core but discovered he could activate it like a Magic Treasure.
• Lu Ye announced that the realm's seal had been broken, and the freed cultivators gathered before him, rejoicing at their escape.

Lu Ye left the Core World with Yang Ling and Hu Dequan staying behind, then traveled through the Void in search of a passage to the Soul Race Ancestral Land. He diverted to help a realm under Insect Race invasion and trapped a Sunlight Realm attacker in a strange world surrounded by four Moonlight Realm Late Stage figures.

• Yang Ling chose to wait in the Core World for Square Inch Mountain to reunite, while Hu Dequan stayed with him, and Lu Ye warned them against using the realm’s resources before giving them a Storage Ring.
• Lu Ye piloted the core out of the spectacle, sealed it to prevent the three divisions of Square Inch Mountain from merging, and searched for a passage to the Soul Race Ancestral Land.
• After half a month, Lu Ye sensed a passage and flew toward it, but spotted an Insect Nest attacking a realm along the way.
• Lu Ye changed course to help defend the realm, and a Sunlight Realm Insect Race cultivator broke away from the battle to confront him.
• Lu Ye feigned being incapacitated, then unleashed a force that drew the Insect Race cultivator into another world, where four Moonlight Realm Late Stage figures surrounded him.

Lu Ye destroyed the Insect Race’s Insect Nest with the Core World, turning the battle in the Human Race’s favor, then entered the Core World to help four Moon Jade cultivators fight an Insect Race Sunlight. The Sunlight remained trapped and wounded as Lu Ye and his allies attacked him, while the author ended with a note about feeling ill.

• Lu Ye rode the Core World through the Insect Race’s attacks and smashed it into the Insect Nest, breaking the nest apart and killing many Insect Race members.
• The Human Race Sunlight seized the opening to rally his side, while Lu Ye withdrew the Core World hundreds of thousands of kilometers away and entered it.
• Xiang Yin, Yang Ling, and Hu Dequan fought an Insect Race Sunlight inside the Core World, where the realm’s power suppressed him.
• Lu Ye joined their battle, combining his Blood Sea with the Xiang Yin sisters’ and using his saber and movement technique to evade the Sunlight and wound him.
• The Insect Race Sunlight waited for an opening, but his wounds healed slowly as the group continued attacking him.

Lu Ye helped the Life Essence Realm defeat an Insect Race invasion, collected Fire Element resources, and continued steering the core toward the Soul Race Ancestral Land. After he arrived, Su Yuqing, Wu Qimo, and Chen Xuanhai sensed his arrival and rushed toward the sky, suspecting the long-awaited return of the Little People Race.

• Lin Ran told Lu Ye that the Insect Race had retreated after its Insect Nest was destroyed, and Lu Ye claimed his nonexistent master had killed the missing Sunlight cultivator.
• Lu Ye asked Lin Ran to gather Fire Element resources, and the Life Essence Realm delivered several Storage Rings half a day later.
• Lu Ye warned that the Insect Race might return, then left with the resources and refined them while traveling on the core.
• Lu Ye found little of value in the dead Insect Race Sunlight cultivator's Storage Ring because the resources had fed the destroyed Insect Nest.
• Lu Ye steered the core through a gateway into the Soul Race Ancestral Land, where Su Yuqing, Wu Qimo, and Chen Xuanhai sensed an anomaly and flew toward the sky.

The three divisions of Square Inch Mountain stopped moving after the core was cut off from them, and their Sunlight powerhouses suspected the wonder had changed. Lu Ye reached the Soul Race Ancestral Land, reunited with Yiyi and Amber, and learned that Amber had willingly formed bonds with Soul Race attendants.

• Wu Qimo, Su Yuqing, and Chen Xuanhai saw that Eastern Division Square Inch Mountain had stopped and considered whether the core had been destroyed or isolated.
• Chen Xuanhai, Su Yuqing, and Wu Qimo joined the other divisions' Sunlight powerhouses in a soul-projection meeting and concluded that the core had likely been completely isolated.

• Xu Yuan explained that the Blood Ancestor had sought Square Inch Mountain to protect the Insect Race’s nests and revealed that he did not know how the Blood Ancestor died.
• Lu Ye used the Starry Sky Pool to travel with the core to Jade Snail, while the Little People Race’s Sunlight Realm cultivators noticed Square Inch Mountain’s divisions change course.
• Lu Ye brought Xiang Yin, her sister, Yang Ling, and Hu Dequan toward Nine Provinces so they could help protect it while awaiting Square Inch Mountain’s reunification.

Lu Ye brought the core of Square Inch Mountain back near Nine Provinces and removed the restriction keeping its three divisions from merging. The Sunlights deduced that the divisions were converging on the Jade Snail Star System, learned Lu Ye had recovered the core for Nine Heavens, and celebrated his merit as Su Yuqing’s worry eased.

• Lu Ye reached the vicinity of Nine Provinces, removed his restriction from Square Inch Mountain’s core, and set the three divisions moving toward it.
• The Sunlights discovered that all three divisions had changed course and speed, then calculated that their routes would intersect in the Jade Snail Star System.
• Su Yuqing explained that Jade Snail was Lu Ye’s birthplace and that he had wanted Square Inch Mountain to protect Nine Heavens.
• The Sunlights realized Lu Ye had recovered the core and brought it to Jade Snail, and Zhang Kun marveled that he had succeeded after only a little over three years.
• A Sunlight described Lu Ye’s achievements in the Myriad Phenomena Sea, and the group praised Su Yuqing’s husband as Su Yuqing’s worry finally settled.

Lu Ye secured the core of Square Inch Mountain near Nine Provinces, arranged for it to be guarded, and traveled to the Myriad Phenomena Sea to replenish his Talent Tree. He returned to Three Realms Island, where Luan Xiao'e briefed him on its growth and finances before asking him to bring back resources next time he visited Jade Snail.

• The Little People Race Sunlights agreed that Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai would travel to Jade Snail to verify whether Lu Ye had recovered their lost core.

• Luan Xiao'e asked Lu Ye to bring back a batch of resources the next time he returned to Jade Snail, and he agreed.

After returning from Three Realms Island, Lu Ye distributed its Lingyu to Nine Provinces and the allied realms, then began cleansing the Core World of the Blood Ancestor’s lingering Sacred Nature power. His work was interrupted when Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing arrived, and Lu Ye prepared to explain how he had obtained the Core.

• Lu Ye returned to Nine Provinces and gave the Garrison Envoy a large supply of Lingyu to divide among Nine Provinces, the Azure Dawn Dao Realm, and the Jade Snail Realm.
• Lu Ye entered the Core World and used the Core Origin to spread the Talent Tree’s power, intending to remove all remaining Sacred Nature contamination.
• Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing arrived at the Core with Yang Ling and Hu Dequan, and Chen Xuanhai suppressed the Xiang Yin sisters after they revealed their First Generation Blood Race identities.
• Lu Ye emerged, asked Chen Xuanhai to release the Xiang Yin sisters, and greeted Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing as his senior siblings.
• Su Yuqing asked Lu Ye how he had fought for and obtained the Core, and Yang Ling invited them to his residence so Lu Ye could explain.

Lu Ye recounted how he had recovered the Core World and refined its origin, prompting Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing to explain that he had become its true Realm Master. The two Sunlights contacted the leaders of Square Inch Mountain’s other divisions to report the discovery, and the gathered Sunlights were stunned to learn Lu Ye was the Master of Origin.

• Lu Ye told Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing how he had defeated the Blood Ancestor’s Treasure Blood and refined the Core World’s origin.
• Su Yuqing explained that refining a realm’s origin made Lu Ye its true Realm Master, and that he could become master of all Square Inch Mountain when its divisions merged.
• Lu Ye reassured Chen Xuanhai that he would remain loyal to the Little People Race, then accompanied the two Sunlights back to the core.
• Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing spent several days setting up a Grand Array to contact the Sunlights of the other divisions.
• The Sunlights gathered in an illusory hall and celebrated the core’s return before Chen Xuanhai revealed that Lu Ye had refined its origin.

After Lu Ye became Master of Origin by refining the core, the Sunlights of the Little People Race debated whether they could trust an outsider with their race’s future. Su Yuqing revealed that Lu Ye was an inheritor of the Dao Tree Lineage, and the Sunlights accepted his rule while entrusting his guidance to her.

• The Sunlights argued over Lu Ye becoming Master of Origin, with some calling for his death and others pointing to his merit and connection to their race.
• A respected Southern Division Sunlight asked Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing to bring Lu Ye in for questioning about how he refined the core and the Blood Ancestor’s Treasure Blood.
• Su Yuqing asked Lu Ye whether the Treasure Blood had contaminated him, and he explained that he could refine harmful things and that a tree existed within him.
• Lu Ye told Su Yuqing that the origin consciousness had mentioned the Dao Tree Lineage, so she returned to the illusory hall without bringing him before the Sunlights.
• Su Yuqing identified Lu Ye as an inheritor of the Dao Tree Lineage, and the Sunlights concluded that this explained his abilities and rapid cultivation.
• The Sunlights agreed to accept Lu Ye as Master of Origin and asked Su Yuqing to guide him and keep him from straying onto an evil path.

• Su Yuqing explained that the Dao Tree Lineage had one inheritor per generation and warned that its power could not fully refine the emotions of living beings.

• Lu Ye assured Su Yuqing that he had never refined living beings with the Dao Tree’s power.
• Su Yuqing identified Chao Nian’s realm as Nine Provinces, and Lu Ye revealed that his own realm was also called Nine Provinces, though its people used the name Nine Heavens beyond their home.

Lu Ye purified the Core World of the Blood Ancestor's remaining Treasure Blood and prepared for Square Inch Mountain's Eastern Division to merge. He stabilized the turbulent joining, restoring a large part of Square Inch Mountain to the Core World.

• Su Yuqing reasoned that ancient factions had besieged Nine Provinces to seize the Dao Tree inheritance and warned Lu Ye to keep Nine Provinces' name secret.
• Lu Ye told Su Yuqing he needed to purify the Core World before Square Inch Mountain's Eastern Division arrived, then spent nearly three years refining the Treasure Blood's residual power.
• Lu Ye confirmed that the Core World was fully cleansed, with his Sacred Nature greatly strengthened, and learned that Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing had gone to welcome the Eastern Division.
• Eastern Division Square Inch Mountain merged with the Core World, and Lu Ye used the Origin's power to calm the resulting turmoil.
• After half a month, the merger settled, and the Core World had expanded to include the Eastern Division's familiar sights.

After the Eastern Division fused into Square Inch Mountain, Lu Ye visited the Blood Refining World to investigate his growing connection to it, which he traced to the Blood Ancestor’s Treasure Blood he had refined.

• Lu Ye followed the changing connection across the Blood Refining World to Jade Pillar Peak, where it led deep beneath a Blood Pool.
• Lu Ye dived through the Blood Pool, refined some Sacred Blood, and fell into an enormous chamber when the bloodwater suddenly disappeared.
