Chapter Summaries

Zheng Yi fought Bao Xuzi with the damaged Godslaying Immortalslaying Gourd and, aided by the Nether River Daoist’s Blood River, killed the Golden Celestial Sect elder. After the surviving observers withdrew, Zheng Yi stood victorious, but his gourd’s origin was damaged and the Golden Celestial Sect had been left severely weakened.

• The Nether River Daoist fought Bao Xuzi and was seemingly destroyed after Bao Xuzi unleashed his full power.
• Zheng Yi used the Godslaying Immortalslaying Gourd’s Yin Yang Energy to suppress and repeatedly injure Bao Xuzi, damaging the gourd in the process.
• Bao Xuzi briefly sensed a Core Formation opportunity, but Zheng Yi sent the Nether River Daoist’s Blood River crashing into him and then killed him with a streak of white light.
• The white light took Bao Xuzi’s Divine Soul into the gourd, which cracked as its Yin Yang Energy became unstable.
• Zheng Yi confronted the powerful Divine Souls spying on the battlefield, and they withdrew rather than risk fighting him.

Zheng Yi’s victory over the Golden Celestial Sect alliance established the Great Luo Alliance as a major regional power, though he and his damaged gourd were left badly depleted. He entered secluded cultivation while visitors flocked to the alliance, leaving Qi Lin to handle them under the protection of Zheng Yi’s fearsome reputation.

• Zheng Yi concealed his exhaustion and the Godslaying Immortalslaying Gourd’s damage, while the surviving enemies feared approaching him.
• The Great Luo Alliance’s cultivators charged after the routed allied forces, and Zheng Yi ordered his subordinates to finish the pursuit before flying back to the alliance’s heartland.
• The defeat of the three sects’ army shook the surrounding region, damaged their strength, and inspired oppressed powers to seek greater independence.
• Representatives from sects and cultivation families arrived to seek an audience with Zheng Yi, but the alliance said he had entered secluded cultivation.
• Qi Lin received the visitors on Zheng Yi’s behalf and saw them depart politely, recognizing that Zheng Yi’s reputation had protected him.

After recovering from the battle, Zheng Yi assessed Great Luo Alliance’s losses and ordered Qi Lin to prepare an army to attack the Golden Celestial Sect. He also presented Qi Lin with a powerful blood essence, while the chapter left its purpose unexplained.

• Qi Lin resolved to pursue Foundation Establishment after seeing Great Luo Alliance rise and feeling outmatched by visiting Foundation Establishment cultivators.
• In the Apocalyptic World, Nether River Daoist and the three hundred Asura warriors recovered in the expanding Blood Lake, while the Five Ghost Soul Lifting Carriage grew stronger by devouring Divine Souls.
• Zheng Yi spent a month restoring his mana and Divine Soul, then discovered that the Godslaying Immortalslaying Gourd’s origin remained seriously depleted.
• Zheng Yi returned to the Great Luo Alliance Main Hall, where Qi Lin reported that the Alliance had lost roughly thirty percent of its combat strength but gained more than ten newly advanced Foundation Establishment Blood Cultivators.
• Zheng Yi told Qi Lin to recruit selected Rogue Cultivators and assemble an army within half a month to attack the Golden Celestial Sect.
• Zheng Yi showed Qi Lin a brilliant droplet of blood whose power stirred the Blood Cultivator’s instincts in Qi Lin.

Zheng Yi halted the Great Luo Alliance’s march when Yin Shili, a Golden Core True Person of the Taiyin Xuantian Sect, appeared and demonstrated overwhelming power. Yin Shili said he had not come to punish Zheng Yi and began explaining that the region’s stale forces needed reorganizing.

• Zheng Yi rewarded Qi Lin with Nether River Daoist’s essence blood, and Qi Lin advanced to Foundation Establishment within three days.
• As the Great Luo Alliance set out to attack the Golden Celestial Sect, Yin Shili appeared in the mountain range and suppressed the army with his presence.
• Zheng Yi recognized Yin Shili as a Golden Core Cultivator and ordered the army to retreat to the mountain gate.
• Yin Shili identified himself as Cave Master Xuan Chun of the Taiyin Xuantian Sect and recounted Zheng Yi’s recent actions in the Chaotic Domain.
• Yin Shili told Zheng Yi that he had not come to pursue responsibility and said the region’s old forces needed to be reorganized.

Zheng Yi accepted Golden Core True Person Yin Shili’s order to halt his campaign against the Golden Celestial Sect and secured its mountain gate as compensation. Yin Shili then summoned Zheng Yi to the Extermination Assembly, while Zheng established the Asura Path at Five Elements Gold Mountain and left the region’s powers subdued by the Taiyin Xuantian Sect’s authority.

• Yin Shili ordered Zheng Yi to keep the region stable, and Zheng Yi requested the Golden Celestial Sect’s mountain gate as compensation for its attack on the Great Luo Alliance.
• Yin Shili approved the demand and told Zheng Yi to attend the Extermination Assembly in half a year, explaining that it would be held at the Sumeru Senluo Grotto-Heaven Paradise.
• Yin Shili brought Zheng Yi to the Golden Celestial Sect and made its remaining disciples abandon their mountain gate for a backup territory.
• Zheng Yi moved the Nether River Orthodoxy to Five Elements Gold Mountain, where the Nether River Daoist established the Blood River Array and founded the Asura Path as a force beneath the Great Luo Alliance.
• The surrounding powers fell silent after Yin Shili’s intervention, while the Blood River transformed the mountain gate into a blood-qi environment suited to the Asura Race.

Zheng Yi cultivated with the Small Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo at Five Elements Gold Mountain and advanced to the mid Purple Mansion level, triggering a dangerous disturbance that Nether River Daoist contained. After Nether River Daoist called him back from deep meditation upon the Dao, Zheng Yi emerged safely and apologized.

• Zheng Yi used the superior Third-Order Spirit Vein beneath Five Elements Gold Mountain to cultivate his Small Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo.
• Zheng Yi broke through to the mid Purple Mansion level, and his surging Yin Yang Energy stirred violent changes across the mountain range.
• The Blood River Array contained the disturbance, while Nether River Daoist warned Zheng Yi to wake from his deep meditation upon the Dao.
• Nether River Daoist dispersed the chaotic Yin Yang Energy before it could damage the array or draw attention from outside.
• Zheng Yi regained his awareness, appeared before Nether River Daoist, and apologized for losing himself in his breakthrough.

After breaking through to the mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm, Zheng Yi studied the Four Absolutes Array but found he needed a Third-Order inheritance to progress. Qi Lin located one in Blood Mist Abyss City, and Zheng Yi went to seek it from Array Grandmaster Wei Xu.

• Zheng Yi merged consciousness with Nether River Daoist, learned of the Taiyin Xuantian Sect’s authority, and left the Da Yi Immortal Domain’s affairs to his avatar.
• Zheng Yi inspected the growing Blood Lake and the phantom Five Elements Gold Mountain in the Incense Fire Dharma Realm, then prepared for the Sumeru Senluo Grotto-Heaven Paradise by studying arrays.
• Zheng Yi used the Jade Slips and Super Brain Main God to master basic arrays, but could not make progress on the Four Absolutes Array without a Third-Order inheritance.
• Qi Lin found a Third-Order Array Inheritance in Blood Mist Abyss City, so Zheng Yi traveled there to meet Wei Xu.
• Zheng Yi arrived at Wei Residence, where Wei Xu had promised to fulfill one wish for anyone who completed a task for him.

Zheng Yi visited Wei Xu to seek his Third-Order Array Inheritance, but learned that Wei Xu needed the inner core of a Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede to save his granddaughter, Wei Shuke. Wei Xu offered a Fourth-Order Array Inheritance in exchange for Zheng Yi’s help, leaving Zheng Yi surprised and suspicious.

• Zheng Yi revealed his identity as Great Luo Alliance Leader and was personally welcomed by Wei Xu.
• Zheng Yi asked Wei Xu for his Third-Order Array Inheritance, and Wei Xu introduced his frail granddaughter, Wei Shuke.
• Zheng Yi identified Wei Shuke’s Innate Extreme Cold Yin Body and warned that the cold qi was nearing a fatal stage.
• Wei Xu explained that he needed the inner core of a Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede from Evil Prison Canyon to complete a cure for Wei Shuke.
• Wei Xu offered Zheng Yi a Fourth-Order Array Inheritance if he helped obtain the inner core, and Zheng Yi questioned whether Wei Xu truly possessed it.

Zheng Yi accepted Wei Xu’s offer of a fourth-order array inheritance in exchange for helping obtain the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede’s inner core to save Wei Shuke. Disguised as Chen Dragon, he joined Wei Xu and four other Purple Mansion Cultivators at Evil Prison Canyon, where the team tested and accepted him before preparing to enter the forbidden ground.

• Zheng Yi examined Wei Xu’s fourth-order array inheritance, swore a Heavenly Oath, and agreed to help retrieve the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede’s inner core for Wei Shuke.
• Wei Xu gave Zheng Yi the inheritance’s introductory section and explained that six masked Purple Mansion Cultivators would undertake the mission together.
• Zheng Yi studied the array inheritance at the Wei Residence and received guidance from Wei Xu until the team’s gathering day arrived.
• Wei Xu and Zheng Yi traveled to Evil Prison Canyon, where they met four masked Purple Mansion Cultivators, including Chou Niu.
• Chou Niu tested Zheng Yi with a Killing Intent attack, and Zheng Yi split its black tiger with sword qi.
• Zi Shu, Yin Hu, and Mao Tu approved Zheng Yi as a teammate, and the masked group prepared to proceed into Evil Prison Canyon.

Wei Xu led Zheng Yi and the masked cultivators through Evil Prison Canyon to hunt the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede and obtain its inner core. They concealed themselves near its Poisonous Pool and watched the beast emerge and reveal its core, while the group waited for the right moment to strike.

• Wei Xu opened a path into Evil Prison Canyon with a compass, and his group entered before the poisonous fog sealed the entrance.
• Yin Hu burned away an Evil Spirit Bee Swarm, and the team fought its way through other poisonous creatures and Ferocious Beasts to reach the Poisonous Pool.
• Wei Xu set up a hidden Purification Array around the pool, allowing the group to wait safely while Zheng Yi studied the array's patterns.
• At night, the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede emerged from the pool, and Wei Xu's group watched without attacking.
• The centipede spat out its crystalline inner core, and Zheng Yi realized it was close to transforming into a much more powerful beast.

Wei Xu and five Purple Mansion Cultivators ambushed the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede, wounding it before it escaped into the Poisonous Pool. The group agreed to pursue it despite the danger, and Wei Xu handed out Poison Avoidance Pearls to help them descend safely.

• Wei Xu activated an Imprisonment Array as Chou Niu, Zi Shu, Yin Hu, Mao Tu, and Zheng Yi attacked the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede.
• The wounded centipede unleashed corrosive poisonous rain and a Divine Soul attack, then summoned swarms of poisonous offspring against the cultivators.
• Zheng Yi saved Wei Xu from venom sprayed by golden centipedes, but the centipede exploited a flaw in the array and escaped into the pool.
• After the group slaughtered the centipede's offspring, Chou Niu urged the cultivators to pursue their target, citing their Heavenly Dao Oaths.
• Wei Xu gave the cultivators several Poison Avoidance Pearls so they could pass through the poisonous pool.

Zheng Yi and the other cultivators descended through the Black Water Pool and passed through a hidden teleportation formation into a ruined world. There they found a Temple built atop a gigantic human skull, while Wei Xu urged the group to focus on hunting the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede and obtaining its inner core.

• Si She Wei Xu used the Poison Avoidance Pearl to lead the cultivators safely into the Black Water Pool.
• Zheng Yi and the others discovered a pale blue formation at the pool’s bottom and entered it, arriving in a desolate, ruined space.
• Chou Niu identified a distant structure as a Temple, and the group saw it stood atop an enormous human skull.
• Zheng Yi grew suspicious of the strange place and wondered whether Wei Xu had concealed the journey’s true purpose.
• Wei Xu reminded the cultivators of their Heavenly Dao Oaths and urged them to hunt the centipede before investigating the ruins; the others agreed.

Zheng Yi and the masked cultivators discovered God Extremes Hall, identified it as the inheritance site of the Divine Thought Old Ancestor, and chose separate testing passages. Zheng Yi entered the Nether Yellow Springs Path and sent his Ghost Kings ahead to confront the gathered ghosts.

• Chou Niu led the group through the ruins to a collapsed temple, where they found enormous humanoid bones and a plaque bearing the words "God Extremes Hall."
• Zheng Yi and the others experienced the lingering Divine Soul Power in the plaque's writing, and they recognized it as the work of the Divine Thought Old Ancestor, the legendary King of Rogue Cultivators.
• The cultivators entered the hall and learned that each had to choose one of seven passages and face its test alone.
• With Master Si She Wei Xu's support, Zheng Yi chose the Nether Yellow Springs Path and entered after the others had selected their passages.
• Zheng Yi summoned the Five Ghost Soul Lifting Carriage, led by the Blood Robe Ghost King, and sent it forward to devour the ghosts and yin qi.
• A mass of ghosts and Evil Ghosts surged out of the passage toward Zheng Yi's carriage, but he watched calmly.

Zheng Yi’s ghostly carriage devoured the Nether Yellow Springs Passage’s inhabitants, helping the Blood Robe Ghost King evolve into a Purple Mansion-level force. After only four cultivators emerged, Wei Xu reminded them of their oath to obtain the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede’s inner core, but they found three dazzling treasures at the top of a silver tower and grew wary of one another.

• The Blood Robe Ghost King used the Nine-Tailed Ghost King Banner to destroy and absorb the ghost creatures attacking the carriage, growing stronger as Zheng Yi let it evolve.
• The Five Ghost Soul Lifting Carriage swept through the Nether Yellow Springs Passage, and the Blood Robe Ghost King reached a towering five-zhang form with power equivalent to a Purple Mansion Cultivator.
• Zheng Yi emerged as Chen Dragon alongside Wei Xu as Si She, Chou Niu, and Yin Hu, leaving only four cultivators on the platform.
• Wei Xu removed his mask, reminded the group of their Heavenly Dao Oath to obtain the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede’s inner core, and displayed his Array Disk to warn them against interference.
• Wei Xu led the group to a concealed silver tower, where they climbed to the top floor and found three radiant treasures, prompting them to keep their distance from one another.

Zheng Yi and the others discovered the Divine Thought Old Ancestor’s three treasures, but Blood Mist Venerable revealed that he had lured them into the God Extremes Hall to seize its inheritance. He trapped the group in a Blood Sacrifice Grand Array and began refining the Purple Mansion Cultivators into Blood Puppets.

• Zheng Yi read the stele’s account of the Divine Thought Old Ancestor and learned that each visitor could take only one of his three treasures.
• Chou Niu declared that he intended to take all the treasures, and Master Wei Xu identified him as Blood Mist Venerable.
• Blood Mist Venerable revealed that he had spread the Dragon Centipede rumor to lure Wei Xu and the others into the hall, which he planned to claim for its inheritance.
• Blood Mist Venerable activated the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array and rejected Old Ancestor Sun’s offer to surrender.
• Blood Mist Venerable confirmed that the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede’s inner core could cure Wei Shuke, then began refining the trapped cultivators into Blood Puppets, starting with Old Ancestor Sun.

Zheng Yi and Wei Xu were trapped in Blood Mist Venerable’s Blood Puppet Refining Grand Array, where their escape methods were sealed and their defenses were wearing down. Wei Xu used his hidden Five Yangs Suppressing Evil Grand Formation to negotiate Zheng Yi’s help, then prepared a desperate move to break through the trap.

• Zheng Yi resisted the blood threads with his Small Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo while Blood Mist Venerable focused on refining Old Ancestor Sun into a Blood Puppet.
• Zheng Yi realized the sealed inner hall prevented him from teleporting to the Apocalyptic World, leaving him unable to escape by his usual method.
• Wei Xu deployed the Five Yangs Suppressing Evil Grand Formation, briefly purifying the blood threads and protecting himself.
• Zheng Yi agreed to help kill Blood Mist Venerable, obtain the Twelve-Winged Skyfire Dragon Centipede Inner Core, and save Wei Shuke, binding himself with a Heavenly Dao Oath.
• Wei Xu gathered the formation’s power for a desperate breakthrough, and Blood Mist Venerable sensed the imminent danger.

Wei Xu sacrificed himself to break Blood Mist Venerable’s spatial seal, allowing Zheng Yi to escape with the Soul Falling Treasure Mirror. In the Apocalyptic World, Zheng Yi discovered the mirror contained a powerful Divine Thought technique, then watched it merge into his Sea of Consciousness above his Purple Mansion.

• Wei Xu unleashed the Array Compass’s power, broke the array, and sent Zheng Yi his ring before dying and urging him to protect Wei Shuke.
• Blood Mist Venerable suppressed the explosion, discovered Zheng Yi and the Soul Falling Treasure Mirror were gone, and vowed to hunt down the escaped cultivator.
• Zheng Yi escaped to the Apocalyptic World and made Blood Mist Venerable the first name on his kill list.
• Zheng Yi erased Wei Xu’s mark from the ring, found his fourth-rank array inheritance, and set aside the remaining treasures for Wei Shuke.
• Zheng Yi poured his Divine Soul power into the Soul Falling Treasure Mirror and received the incomplete Nine Heavens Ten Earths Divine Thought Heaven-Strike Art.
• The Soul Falling Treasure Mirror entered Zheng Yi’s Sea of Consciousness and rose above his Purple Mansion, releasing cyan light amid a mysterious evolution.

Zheng Yi used the Soul Falling Treasure Mirror to comprehend the Divine Thought Old Ancestor’s method of constructing a world of consciousness, triggering a dangerous transformation in his Sea of Consciousness. His consciousness remained immersed in the evolving realm, and a faint twitch of his eyelash showed that the Super Brain Main God’s calculations had begun to return to his body.

• The Soul Falling Treasure Mirror entered Zheng Yi’s Purple Mansion and revealed the essence of the Divine Thought Old Ancestor’s inheritance.
• Zheng Yi combined the mirror’s power with the Incense Fire Dharma Realm and Super Brain Main God, entering a self-protective cultivation state as his Sea of Consciousness expanded.
• The Purple Mansion grew from a three-story tower into a six-story tower, while immense cyan tentacles tore open and enlarged the surrounding consciousness space.
• Zheng Yi’s consciousness remained absorbed in the transformation for months as the Incense Fire Illusion Realm seemed to freeze time.
• A faint twitch in Zheng Yi’s eyelash marked the return of feedback from the Super Brain Main God’s calculations.

After a year of cultivation, Zheng Yi transformed his Sea of Consciousness into a Divine Soul Space and formed a Divine Soul Infant, giving him power beyond ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators. He stayed in the Incense Fire Dharma Realm to stabilize his breakthrough and study Wei Xu’s formation inheritance, leaving his revenge on Blood Mist Venerable for later.

• After a year in the Dao, Zheng Yi’s Purple Mansion transformed into a Divine Soul Space and produced a golden Divine Soul Infant.
• Zheng Yi realized the Divine Soul Infant had raised his Divine Sense to a level associated with Golden Core cultivators, and he resolved to keep his breakthrough secret.
• Zheng Yi examined the Nine Heavens Ten Lands Divine Thought Heavenly Strike Great Method and concluded that its deeper mysteries might require its missing half.
• Zheng Yi chose to remain in the Incense Fire Dharma Realm rather than immediately seek revenge on Blood Mist Venerable, prioritizing his cultivation and safety.
• Using his Divine Soul Infant, Zheng Yi linked more effectively with the Super Brain Main God and began rapidly deducing Wei Xu’s latter half of the fourth-tier formation inheritance.

After consolidating his Divine Soul Infant and learning the fourth-rank formation inheritance, Zheng Yi returned to confront Blood Mist Venerable. He froze and destroyed Blood Mist Venerable’s ambush with his new spiritual domain, leaving the elder stunned by his transformation.

• Zheng Yi spent two months stabilizing his Divine Soul Infant and building a systematic understanding of the fourth-rank formation inheritance.
• Zheng Yi sent his External Avatar, the Nether River Daoist, a stroke of fortune through the Blood Lake.
• Zheng Yi prepared to take revenge on Blood Mist Venerable for Wei Xu’s death and to reclaim God Extremes Hall.
• Blood Mist Venerable waited at the Small World’s exit for over a year and attacked when Zheng Yi appeared.
• Zheng Yi used his Divine Soul domain to halt Blood Mist Venerable’s blood mist, blood threads, and giant bloody hand.
• Zheng Yi destroyed the ambush with a surge of Divine Soul power, shocking Blood Mist Venerable.
