Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi learned that the Spirit Race planned to open the Supreme Sacred Tree Secret Realm within ten to fifty years, giving him time to prepare for its cultivation opportunity and custom artifact. He then used specialized resources and a law-optimization environment to fully master Space Law, and turned his attention to fusing Space and Time.

• Lin Yi met Edith in his virtual space, where she told him the Spirit Race was preparing to open the Supreme Sacred Tree Secret Realm and explained that its entrants would include other powerful cultivators.
• Edith described how the Spirit Race would consult Lin Yi about the design of his custom artifact once his Secret Realm qualification was confirmed.
• Lin Yi ordered Xuanji to monitor the opening announcement and help plan the artifact, then received the Void Dimension Anchor and Breath of Primordial Space.

• After three and a half years of cultivation, Lin Yi raised his Space Law comprehension to 100%, fully mastering both Space and Time, and began considering their fusion.

Lin Yi perfected his Space Law, fused it with his Time Law, and improved his secret arts before leaving the All-Encompassing Source Return Platform. Seven years later, he arrived at Sacred Tree Star for the Sacred Tree Secret Realm, where the gathered prodigies fell silent as an unidentified figure entered the hall.

• Lin Yi used Spirit Enlightenment Qi to guide his perfected Time and Space Law Marks into a single Space-Time Law Mark, then created a fragile Space-Time Bubble.

• Xuanji told Lin Yi that many of his Star Source Society companions had also qualified for the Secret Realm, and Lin Yi asked her to send them a reply and remind them to prepare for competition.
• Seven standard years later, prodigies from across the Pan-Spirit Alliance gathered in the hall beneath the Sacred Tree on Sacred Tree Star.
• The hall fell silent as the gathered prodigies rose and turned toward the entrance, where an unidentified figure stepped inside.

Lin Yi attended the gathering before the Supreme Sacred Tree Secret Realm opened, where Edith warned him that the Spirit Race might reduce its military support to races with poor Battle Merit records. After Lord Yuehua explained the rules and marked the entrants, Lin Yi prepared to enter the Secret Realm with the Human Race’s worsening strategic position weighing on him.

• Lanhe watched the prodigies show respect to Lin Yi, and a Spirit Race girl explained that his abilities, backing, and potential made him a figure even Star Domain Rank prodigies would hesitate to offend.
• Lin Yi reunited with Edith, Qingye, Hui Yao, Valerie, Liuyun, and other Star Source Society members, who agreed to compete fairly in the Secret Realm while avoiding needless conflict.
• Edith told Lin Yi that the Spirit Race might recall some forces from allied fronts and judge future support partly by each race’s Battle Merits; Lin Yi realized the Human Race could be especially vulnerable.
• Lord Yuehua announced the Secret Realm’s rules, gave every entrant a protective Sacred Tree Mark, and confirmed that Lin Yi could remain inside for up to sixty days.
• Lin Yi advised his companions to prioritize safety, avoid forcing others out, and compete for major opportunities on their own merits before they began meditating for the opening.

• Lin Yi defeated Ya Xi by finding her true form inside her illusion domain and striking her with a Space-Time-powered punch; Ya Xi conceded the grove and began to leave.
• Ya Xi stopped after taking a step away, apparently struggling with herself as though she wanted to say something.

Lin Yi and Ya Xi agreed to join forces against a peak World-Deriving Rank Tree Spirit guarding a Sacred Source Fruit Grove and a large deposit of Sacred Source Crystal. When they reached the site, they found Paslan and Xikan already fighting the guardian, and a sudden green veil overwhelmed their concealment and restrained them.

Lin Yi escaped a Deity Rank Tree Spirit’s Divine Kingdom Projection with Ya Xi’s help, then recovered and resumed hunting Tree Spirits to grow stronger. He planned to return to the Sacred Source Fruit Grove later and investigate whether its treasures and guard could be taken before the Deity Rank being intervened again.

• Lin Yi hunted a late Yan Realm Tree Spirit with a Space-Time attack, then continued gathering Sacred Source Fruits and improving his combat control.

Edith and the other elites learned that the Pan-Spirit Alliance, Yuan Race, and Shi Race had suspended their war for a hundred eras to explore the mysterious No. 1 Secret Realm, but the reason remained hidden. Meanwhile, Lin Yi finished strengthening himself in the Sacred Tree Secret Realm and returned to the treasure platform, where he found the peak World-Deriving Rank Tree Spirit still guarding it.

Lin Yi killed a peak Yan Realm Tree Spirit, seized its Sacred Source Crystal and the entire Sacred Source Fruit Grove, then was gravely injured by a Divine Kingdom Projection before the Secret Realm expelled him. As Lord Yuehua treated him, Lin Yi learned that the Spirit Race expected him to compete in the newly revealed No. 1 Secret Realm.

Edith arranged for a Life Source Crystal to be sent to Lin Yi, while Lin Yi recovered under Qing Lin’s treatment and studied her Law of Life techniques. After reconnecting with Xuanji, he learned that the three great races had suspended their war for one hundred standard epochs to prepare for the newly discovered No. 1 Secret Realm, and he sought a meeting with Lord Xuanyan to learn more.
