Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin struggled to advance his cultivation despite refining tens of thousands of law fragment shards. Meanwhile, Li Changsheng searched the Northern Demon Domain for Ye Lin and sought the Asura Clan’s help, leaving to investigate the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan.

• Ye Lin reflected that refining thirty thousand law fragment shards in a hundred years had barely advanced his cultivation.
• Li Changsheng searched the Northern Demon Domain for Ye Lin but found no trace of him.
• Li Changsheng decided to enlist helpers because the Demon Domain was too vast to search alone.
• Li Changsheng visited Qing Feng at the Asura Clan and asked to use its teleportation array.
• Qing Feng suggested Li Changsheng investigate the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan and asked him to pass on a challenge to Ye Lin.

Li Changsheng learned that Ye Lin had ties to the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan and decided to seek out its new leader, Xuan Tian. Qing Feng hesitated because the clan was in turmoil and the Asura Clan viewed it as a rival, but agreed to arrange a meeting.

• Qing Feng told Li Changsheng that the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan's eldest and third young masters were dead, and that Ye Lin had helped Xuan Tian remove them.
• Qing Feng explained that the clan was declining and under pressure, while the Asura Clan stood to benefit if it fell.
• Li Changsheng asked Qing Feng to introduce him to Xuan Tian so he could find out where Ye Lin was.
• Qing Feng worried that visiting the rival clan would anger his own elders, but agreed to help and went to gather a few people.

• A gatekeeper returned with two Identity Tokens, and Qing Feng gave the two young men Blood Refining Pills as a reward.

Li Changsheng and Qing Feng visited Xuan Tian to ask about Ye Lin’s whereabouts. Xuan Tian claimed he had lost track of Ye Lin after an attempted ambush failed, leaving Li Changsheng still searching for him.

• Qing Feng gave Li Changsheng an Identity Token and led him through the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan’s territory to its inner region.
• Qing Feng contacted Xuan Tian, who appeared and greeted Li Changsheng respectfully.
• Li Changsheng asked whether Xuan Tian had seen Ye Lin, and Xuan Tian brought him and Qing Feng to a residence.
• Xuan Tian claimed Ye Lin had killed his eldest and third brothers and escaped an ambush using the Xuanyuan Sword to mobilize the Human Race’s fortune.
• Li Changsheng pressed Xuan Tian for the last place he had seen Ye Lin, concerned Ye Lin would become too powerful if he was not found soon.

Li Changsheng asked Xuan Tian to use the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan’s teleportation array to help him find Ye Lin, whom he wanted to recruit to lead the Demon Domain against the Stowaways. Xuan Tian agreed to set up the teleportation array, and Li Changsheng began considering where to travel next.

• Li Changsheng asked Xuan Tian to borrow the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan’s teleportation array because he could not locate Ye Lin.
• Li Changsheng explained that he wanted Ye Lin to help the Demon Domain resist the Stowaways and shoulder responsibility in the unfolding great era.

• Li Changsheng bowed, apologized on Ye Lin’s behalf, and asked Xuan Tian to set aside the feud for the Demon Domain’s sake.
• Xuan Tian agreed to help and offered to arrange the teleportation array, while Li Changsheng pondered his next destination.

• Li Changsheng told Xuan Tian that the Profound Origin Scorpion Clan could help in the Western Demon Domain and sent him to make arrangements.

• Qing Feng concluded that Li Changsheng was going west to kill Ye Lin and turned to make arrangements of his own.
• Qing Feng reflected that Ye Lin’s share of the Demon Domain’s providence meant he could not simply hide from the struggle of the great era.
