Chapter Summaries

Lin Chuan, Lin An, and Mu Li devastated the defenders near the Profound Immortal Tomb, prompting Crown Prince Hai to order [Heavenly Court] to use the Profound Yellow Sword. As the sword attacked with unpredictable speed, Lin Chuan tried to track and stop it before it could strike Lin An or Mu Li.

• Lin Chuan, Lin An, and Mu Li combined their abilities to kill nearly eighty percent of the cultivators and fierce beasts at Tengai Shinsei's impact site.
• Mu Li, Lin An, and the other witnesses recognized the danger posed by the Three-Eyed Alliance's coordination.
• Crown Prince Hai, worried that Lin Chuan's group would disrupt his refinement of the Profound Immortal corpse, ordered [Heavenly Court] to use the Profound Yellow Sword.
• Bu Lianshi warned Lin Chuan that [Heavenly Court] was making a move, and Mu Yuyi turned the Tenseigan toward the Profound Immortal Tomb.
• Lin Chuan recognized the rapidly shifting yellow radiance as the Profound Yellow Sword and used his Mangekyō Sharingan, Tenseigan, Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and Five Spirit Feather Fan to prepare to stop it.

Lin Chuan intercepted the Profound Yellow Sword’s attack with the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, while Bu Lianshi stopped its remaining force with the World Suppressing Disk. The clash shattered Azure Dragon’s mask, revealing Lin Chuan’s face to the assembled factions—and showing that he looked almost exactly like Lin An.

• Lin Chuan used his Sharingan and Tenseigan to anticipate the Profound Yellow Sword’s path and intercepted it with the Heaven-Measuring Ruler and Five Spirit Feather Fan.
• The collision damaged the surrounding space and sent sword qi into Lin Chuan, while cultivators realized Heavenly Court had the North Profound Continent’s companion immortal artifact.
• Bu Lianshi struck the Profound Yellow Sword with the World Suppressing Disk, dispersing its remaining force and forcing it to retreat.
• Lin Chuan’s Susanoo absorbed most of the impact, but the collision shattered his mask and revealed his appearance to the major factions.
• The gathered cultivators recognized that Lin Chuan looked almost exactly like Lin An.

When Lin Chuan’s mask broke, everyone saw that his face was nearly identical to Lin An’s, exposing their connection and unsettling the factions around them. Lin An and Lin Chuan agreed to set their personal matters aside until after the Immortal Bone Realm and focus on Crown Prince Hai.

• Lin Chuan’s broken mask revealed a face almost identical to Lin An’s, shocking the cultivators and prompting speculation about their relationship.
• Baili Chenle recalled Lin An’s words about owing Azure Dragon and realized Lin An had likely known about the connection for a long time.
• Mu Li and the [Akatsuki], [Daybreak], and [Dawn] members moved toward Lin Chuan as the factions feared a sudden clash between him and Lin An.
• Lin An proposed postponing their personal matters until the Immortal Bone Realm ended, and Lin Chuan agreed so they could deal with Crown Prince Hai first.

After the battle, Lin Chuan and the others planned to enter the Profound Immortal Tomb before Crown Prince Hai finished refining the Immortal Bone. Lin Chen warned Lin Chuan that the Lin Clan Elders Council might target him, and Lin Chuan resolved to uncover and punish those behind his past.

• Crown Prince Hai ordered the Heavenly Court assassins to retreat into the Profound Immortal Tomb and preserve their strength.
• Lin An and Lin Chuan handed the remaining battlefield to the major factions, then planned to find a way past the Black Tortoise guarding the tomb.
• Lin Chuan said Akatsuki would deal with the Black Tortoise after everyone rested.
• Lin Chen explained that the Lin Clan Elders Council handled the clan's hidden affairs and might either demand Lin Chuan's submission or try to eliminate him.
• Lin Chuan suspected the Elders Council had helped orchestrate the loss of his eyes and vowed to pursue those responsible.

Kong Chen tested the Black Tortoise Turtle’s strength and found that his Red Cherry Karma Fire could match its water attacks, though he could not break its defensive shell. As Kong Chen prepared to use the Falling Cherry Long Zither, a giant bird surrounded by purple flames appeared in the sky.

• Kong Chen flew out to challenge the Black Tortoise Turtle while Lin Chuan and the others watched.
• The Black Tortoise Turtle unleashed a massive water pillar, which Kong Chen dispersed with his cherry blossoms in a near-even clash.
• Kong Chen and the Black Tortoise Turtle traded attacks, but neither gained the advantage.
• Kong Chen’s cherry blossom arrow failed to break the turtle’s azure shell, and the Black Tortoise Turtle withdrew into its shell to defend itself.
• Kong Chen prepared to use the Falling Cherry Long Zither as a piercing bird cry and the pressure of a purple-flamed giant bird filled the sky.

A late Integration-stage fire beast appeared during the battle with the Black Tortoise Turtle, but Lin Chuan revealed it was his spirit pet, Scruffy Sparrow. Scruffy Sparrow joined Lin Chuan to attack the turtle, leaving the fight underway with their combined power surpassing its aura.

• A purple-flamed beast approached, and Lin Ru recognized it as a powerful late Integration-stage fire beast with an ancient bloodline.
• Lin Chuan revealed that the approaching beast was his spirit pet, prompting shock and envy among the cultivators.
• Scruffy Sparrow arrived and loudly greeted Lin Chuan, then teased Bu Lianshi before Lin Chuan threatened to stew him.
• Lin Chuan climbed onto Scruffy Sparrow's back and ordered him to deal with the Black Tortoise Turtle.
• Scruffy Sparrow attacked the turtle with burning purple feathers while Lin Chuan summoned Susanoo, combining their flames and pressure against it.

Lin Chuan and Scruffy Sparrow attacked the Black Tortoise Turtle together, but its defenses withstood their combined assault. Lin Chuan then formed a huge, unstable Super Big Ball Rasengan and asked Scruffy Sparrow to infuse it with Purple Phoenix True Fire.

• Lin Chuan and Scruffy Sparrow combined the Totsuka Blade with Purple Phoenix True Fire to strike the Black Tortoise Turtle’s spiritual-energy shell.
• The turtle replenished its shell with water spiritual energy, forcing Lin Chuan and Scruffy Sparrow to retreat.
• After learning their attacks could not break through the turtle’s defenses, Lin Chuan began forming a Super Big Ball Rasengan with Susanoo.
• Lin Chuan asked Scruffy Sparrow to pour Purple Phoenix True Fire into the enormous Rasengan, despite the risk that it could explode.

Lin Chuan used a Purple Phoenix-imbued Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan to destroy the Black Tortoise’s spiritual-energy shell, but the creature’s real shell endured the attack. He called on the [Akatsuki] Divine Envoys to help break through it as the battle continued.

• Lin Chuan and Scruffy Sparrow dove at the Black Tortoise with the enormous Rasengan, which tore through its pale-blue spiritual-energy shell and injured it with the remaining force.
• Lin Chuan observed that the Black Tortoise’s real shell had only been grooved and its wounds were superficial, while the cultivators realized the creature was stalling for Crown Prince Hai.
• Scruffy Sparrow estimated that dozens more attacks of the same strength might break the real shell, and Lin Chuan said he needed help rather than attack alone.
• Lin Chuan refused to use the Three Pure Ones Clones and summoned the [Akatsuki] Divine Envoys to enter Tailed Beast Transformation and attack the Black Tortoise with Tailed Beast Balls.
• The [Akatsuki] Divine Envoys flew toward the Black Tortoise as golden light and ferocious auras rose around them.

Lin Chuan revealed Akatsuki’s Tailed Beast Transformations and led seven members in forming Tailed Beast Balls against the Black Tortoise turtle. The seven attacks struck the turtle at once, and the world fell silent.

• Akatsuki’s divine envoys transformed into tailed beasts, revealing their previously hidden power to the watching cultivators.
• Lin Chuan ordered the seven transformed envoys to gather and compress tailed beast chakra into Tailed Beast Balls.
• Scruffy Sparrow questioned Lin Chuan about the technique, and Lin Chuan offered to seal him inside his body.
• The Black Tortoise turtle remained trapped guarding the Profound Immortal Tomb entrance under Crown Prince Hai’s control as the Tailed Beast Balls formed.
• Lin Chuan commanded the seven Tailed Beast Balls to fire, and they struck the Black Tortoise turtle simultaneously.

Lin Chuan and Daybreak defeated the Black Tortoise turtle with the combined Tailed Beast Balls, clearing the way to the Profound Immortal Tomb. After Scruffy Sparrow killed an assassin trying to force the turtle to self-destruct, the group reached the tomb’s entrance.

• Lin Chuan escaped the Tailed Beast Ball explosion with Scruffy Sparrow as its shockwaves devastated the surrounding area and severely wounded the Black Tortoise turtle.
• Lin Chuan saw that the turtle had survived but was too badly injured to block their path.
• Daybreak’s Wind Envoy cleared the smoke, and Lin An led the group toward the wounded turtle.
• Lin Chuan warned the turtle to stay quiet, while Scruffy Sparrow burned a Heavenly Court assassin who tried to use the Beast King Seal to make it self-destruct.
• Lin Chuan recognized the Beast King Seal imprint as evidence that Crown Prince Hai possessed the artifact, and the group reached the Profound Immortal Tomb’s stone gate.

Lin Chuan and the other Children of Immortal Bones entered the Profound Immortal Tomb after pressuring their allies to fight with their full strength. Inside, they found no sign of the Heavenly Court, but Mu Bai spotted a hidden blade attacking a Heaven One Sword Sect disciple.

• Mu Yuyi and Mu Yucun joined Lin Chuan so he could use Three Pure Ones Fusion if needed and escape through Origin Space if the battle became hopeless.
• Lin Chuan urged the other Children of Immortal Bones to stop holding back, and Mars, Lin Ru, Mu Bai, and the mysterious Child of Immortal Bones agreed to contribute fully.
• Zhongchuan Jin declared that the Central River Imperial Family would not act cowardly, concealing his alliance with Lin Chuan behind a show of hostility.
• Lin Chuan led the group into the Profound Immortal Tomb, where the Immortal Bone Jade Pendants eased the oppressive aura of the dark, lifeless world.
• Mu Bai shattered a hidden blade just before it could cut the throat of a Heaven One Sword Sect disciple.

Lin Chuan discovered that Crown Prince Hai had turned the Profound Immortal Tomb’s hidden Black Silk Armored Guards against the group. After demonstrating how to fight them, he watched the mysterious Immortal Bone Child reveal a rouge case whose red powder made the guards visible.

• Mu Bai destroyed a Black Silk Armored Guard that nearly killed a disciple, and Lin Chuan warned the group that more were nearby.
• Lin Chuan and Lin An identified the guards as tomb puppets likely controlled by Crown Prince Hai, while Lin Chuan used genjutsu to show the others what he could see.
• Lin Chuan approached a guard, blocked its swift blade with Susanoo, and destroyed it with lightning, judging its attack power to be around early-stage Integration and its defenses around late-stage Void Refinement.
• Lin Chuan explained that the guards were vulnerable but difficult to fight because most of the group could not see them.
• The Immortal Bone Child opened a rouge case and scattered its red powder, causing countless bizarre red creatures to appear among the guards.

The mysterious son of immortal bones used rouge to reveal the invisible black-thread armored soldiers, but the group’s probing attacks drew hordes of them toward the cultivators. As a black arrow nearly pierced Mu Bai, Lin Chuan blocked it with Susanoo’s rib, leaving the group facing an escalating threat.

• The mysterious son of immortal bones explained that the rouge could reveal black-thread armored soldiers, and the group hurried forward before its effect wore off.
• Northern Dipper lured a dozen soldiers toward Akatsuki, and the group split up to fight them while Lin Chuan tested Amaterasu.
• Lin Chuan’s Amaterasu drew hundreds of nearby soldiers toward him, while Lin Ru, Mu Bai, Lin Chen, and others also provoked growing hordes.
• Mu Bai unleashed sword qi and killed the soldiers at the front, but his attack drew tens of thousands more from the surrounding area.
• Lin Chuan spotted a black arrow racing toward Mu Bai and formed a Susanoo rib to block it, though the arrow cracked the bone and pierced several inches into it.

Lin Chuan saved Mu Bai from an invisible arrow and helped the group establish a cautious advance through the Profound Immortal Tomb. As Shui Mochan revealed that she could replicate the black-thread soldiers’ abilities, Lin Chuan spotted a bow-wielding soldier ahead.

• Lin Chuan intercepted an invisible arrow aimed at Mu Bai, saving him from a potentially fatal strike.
• Lin Chuan warned that some black-thread armored soldiers could fire arrows powerful enough to threaten mid-Integration cultivators, and the group agreed to fight cautiously while he watched for arrows.
• Mars proposed that the [Akatsuki] Organization rest while the others handled the soldiers, and Lin Chuan agreed to guard against incoming arrows.
• The group advanced several thousand meters into the Profound Immortal Tomb, while Jade Maiden discovered that devouring the soldiers’ spiritual energy circuits strengthened her innate Dao technique.
• Shui Mochan showed Lin Chuan black threads beneath her skin that matched the soldiers’, suggesting she could replicate their abilities.
• Lin Chuan halted the group after spotting a distinctive black-thread armored soldier carrying a bow but no arrows.

Lin Chuan discovered and destroyed a Black Silk Armored Guard capable of firing a dangerous arrow, then led the group to a grand hall deep in the Profound Immortal Tomb. After White Zetsu scouted inside, Lin Chuan entered with the others and saw a chained skeleton watching them from the hall’s depths.

• Lin Chuan used Amaterasu to burn the unusual Black Silk Armored Guard after it fired an arrow that cracked Susanoo’s ribs.
• The group continued through the tomb, clearing the Black Silk Armored Guards they encountered along the way.
• Lin Chuan led everyone to a grand hall, where spatial disturbances prevented him from using his abilities to scout or travel to a precise location.
• White Zetsu sent a clone into the hall and discovered a moving figure in its depths.
• Lin Chuan entered with the group and saw a skeleton bound by chains, its eye sockets glowing faintly blue.

Lin Chuan and the others reached the first grand hall of the Profound Immortal Tomb and faced a chained skeleton whose immense cultivation had been suppressed by Crown Prince Hai. Xiao Heng realized that the hall was the first of ten nested coffin enclosures, and that the most mysterious Child of Immortal Bones had been chosen to break it open.

• Lin Chuan and the others saw the black crystal skeleton and sensed that its true cultivation was at least at the Mahayana Phase, though Crown Prince Hai had suppressed it.
• The skeleton told them they had to kill it to pass, and said its master had already told them how.
• The skeleton unleashed a soul attack, but the most mysterious Child of Immortal Bones activated his Immortal Bone Jade Pendant and shielded everyone.
• Xiao Heng identified the hall as one of ten nested coffin enclosures, each meant to be broken open by a specific Child of Immortal Bones.
• Xiao Heng concluded that the most mysterious Child of Immortal Bones was chosen to break open the first enclosure, and everyone turned to him.

The mysterious Immortal Bone Child used the Immortal Bone Jade Pendant and his Soul Refining Sect techniques to battle the soul-flame guardian of the first outer coffin. He pierced the guardian with his Soul-Locking Chains, but the dying skeleton began to recognize him before it could finish speaking.

• The Immortal Bone Child activated the Immortal Bone Jade Pendant to shield everyone from the guardian’s soul fluctuations.
• Lin Chuan and Xiao Heng wondered why the Immortal Bone Child had been chosen to face the outer coffin, while Zhongchuan Jin privately asked Lin Chuan what to do.
• As blue soul flames filled the hall, the Immortal Bone Child formed Soul Refining Sect hand seals and revealed five hundred and thirty-two Soul-Locking Chains.
• The Immortal Bone Child drove his chains through the guardian’s wall of azure flame and pierced its skeleton and both eye-flames.
• The dying skeleton began to recognize the Immortal Bone Child but could not finish speaking.

Soul defeated the Fusion Stage skeleton, and the group advanced to the second hall, where black-and-white mist trapped them in a vast, disorienting space. Lin Chuan discovered that the Immortal Bone Jade Pendant did not respond, so he was not the one meant to break this outer coffin.

• Soul killed the Great Perfection Fusion Stage skeleton with his Soul-Locking Chains, which revealed runes from the Maha Sutra to Lin Chuan.
• Soul identified himself by that name and led the group through the opened passage, while the Immortal Bone Jade Pendant gained a streak of azure light.
• The group cleared the Black Silk Armored Guards around the second hall, and Mars questioned Zhongchuan Jin about his role as a substitute Immortal Bone child.
• White Zetsu explored the hall’s black-and-white mist but could not find a way out or use his techniques to escape its vast space.
• The group entered the hall and found the entrance had vanished behind them, while Lin Chuan’s Immortal Bone Jade Pendant failed to respond.

Lin Ru used the Supreme Purity Scripture to break through the black-and-white mist, while Lin Chuan discovered that the Dao Scripture let him perceive its pattern as well. Xiao Heng suspected the Profound Immortal had arranged multiple ways for the group to pass each coffin layer, and they continued forward with the mist clearing.

• Lin Chuan searched the black-and-white mist with his Sharingan but could not see through its shifting patterns.
• Lin Ru used the Immortal Bone Jade Pendant to clear the mist around the group and said the Supreme Purity Scripture could reveal its pattern.
• Lin Chuan circulated the Dao Scripture and discovered he could see through the mist by understanding how it transformed.
• Xiao Heng explained the Dao Scripture's power, and Lin Chuan reflected that he had underestimated it and could study it further in the Cosmic Light Hall.
• Lin Ru used Supreme Purity Qi to make the mist transparent as he led everyone onward.
• Xiao Heng pointed out that the Profound Immortal seemed to have prepared multiple people to open each coffin layer, and Lin Chuan understood his reasoning.

Lin Ru led the group through the black-and-white mist to the second coffin chamber’s guardian and fought her. He used the Supreme Purity Sect’s Yin-Yang Fan to defeat her, clearing the mist and opening the passage to the third great hall.

• Lin Ru guided the group through the black-and-white mist toward its source while Lin Chuan secretly observed the mist with his Sharingan.
• A beautiful girl appeared and challenged Lin Ru, recognizing his Supreme Purity aura and hinting that she had sensed Lin Chuan’s Dao Scripture aura.
• Lin Ru fought the girl with the Supreme Purity Palm, but their exchanges dragged on despite his gradually gaining the upper hand.
• Lin Ru summoned the Yin-Yang Fan, the Supreme Purity Sect’s immortal artifact, which suppressed the girl and shattered the black-and-white mist.
• Lin Ru struck the girl with the Yin-Yang Fan, making her vanish as the mist dissipated and the passage to the third great hall opened.
