Chapter Summaries

Lin Changqing struggled to survive after a Void Storm destroyed the flying ship and killed its passengers. He used the Nine-Turn Return Immortal Pill to restore himself, but the storm soon wore him down again, leaving him near death without finding a way out.

• Spatial Turbulence tore the flying ship apart and swept Lin Changqing and the other passengers into the Void Storm.
• Lin Changqing watched the storm kill an Immortal Ascension cultivator and two Earth Immortal guards while his defenses barely held.
• As Lin Changqing's injuries worsened and his immortal power ran low, he searched for a calmer area and repeatedly called to his system, but found no help.

• Lin Changqing wondered whether he would die in the storm and clenched his fists, refusing to accept his fate.

Lin Changqing, nearly exhausted in a Void Storm, told Su Wanqing and the Four Symbols Holy Guards that he expected to die and left Su Wanqing ninety thousand Top-grade Immortal Crystals. A spatial rift suddenly cast him out of the storm into Burning Scale Prefecture, where he survived the fall and found himself temporarily safe.

Lin Changqing survived the Void Storm and reunited with Su Wanqing and the others inside the Realm Origin Pearl. After finding a hidden cave in territory he believed belonged to the Myriad Demon Race, he began healing, while members of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan discovered the site where he had emerged and detected traces of a Human Race Earth Immortal.

• Three Earth Immortal members of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan investigated the crater where Lin Changqing had emerged and identified traces of a Void Storm and a Human Race Earth Immortal.

Lin Changqing recovered from his injuries in a hidden cave while the Howling Sky Wolf Clan searched for him. After a rat demon revealed his hiding place, three Demon Kings and a host of beasts surrounded the cave, and Lin Changqing prepared to fight them.

• The peak Earth Immortal Demon King ordered a search for the supposedly injured Lin Changqing, promising the rat demon Blood Marrow Grass for its help.
• Lin Changqing recovered most of his injuries in the giant lizard’s cave and chose not to kill a rat demon that passed the waterfall.
• The rat demon led the three Howling Sky Wolf Demon Kings and their forces toward the cave, identifying it as Lin Changqing’s likely hiding place.

Lin Changqing escaped the Jade-Eyed Demon Emperor’s Space Lockdown with a Flash-Escape Talisman and fled east, while the Demon Emperor tracked the teleportation traces and led a pursuit. By morning, Lin Changqing had crossed several territories and was still moving, using hidden immortal-power threads to detect pursuers.

• Lin Changqing used the Flash-Escape Talisman to teleport to the edge of the Red-Eyed Venom Toad Clan’s territory, then concealed his aura and fled east.

• Lin Changqing struck the Shadowfeather Condor with the Zhentian Seal, then used the Twin Mountains and Rivers Map to vanish before the Jade-Eyed Demon Emperor arrived.
• The Jade-Eyed Demon Emperor found only blood mist and feathers, and the injured Shadowfeather Condor confirmed that Lin Changqing had escaped through a painting.
• A mid Heaven Immortal stage Demon Emperor advised asking a nearby Demon Venerable to intervene, and the Jade-Eyed Demon Emperor agreed despite the humiliation and risk of losing the treasures.

• Lin Changqing emerged thousands of kilometers away, checked that no pursuers were nearby, then concealed his aura and flew east while leaving false trails.

Golden Flame Demon Venerable learned that Lin Changqing had evaded the demon forces with a powerful spatial treasure, then personally pursued him across Red Flame Prefecture. Lin Changqing sensed his escape measures being erased and feared that a True Immortal had joined the hunt.

• Golden Flame Demon Venerable berated the Demon Emperors and Demon Kings for failing to catch Lin Changqing, but agreed to pursue him after hearing about his strength and the Twin Mountains and Rivers Map.
