Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin studied the Sword Nurturing technique and considered which sword to cultivate, ruling out his two most important blades. He opened the Chaos Sword Casket and found Bai Ling, leaving the choice of whether to nurture her unresolved.

• Ye Lin decided he would visit the Northern Frontier in ten years to honor his promise.
• Ye Lin learned that Sword Nurturing could turn a sword into a fearsome weapon, but the chosen sword had to stay at his side and could not be drawn until its nurturing was complete.
• Ye Lin ruled out the Blooddrinking Sword of the Fallen Emperor because he still needed it for battle.
• Ye Lin rejected the Human Emperor Sword because nurturing it could damage the Human Race's fortune.
• Ye Lin opened the Chaos Sword Casket and found Bai Ling, the snow-white Long Sword he had once promised to take to the Immortal World.

Ye Lin chose the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword as his partner and spent a month refining it with special runes so he could nurture it with the essence of living things. He set out for the Northern Frontier to find the Seven-Colored Lotus, where a major upheaval was unfolding in the Gold Clan.

• Ye Lin left to search for the Seven-Colored Lotus in the Northern Frontier and test his sword-nurturing method.
• A tremendous upheaval began within the Gold Clan, one of the Nine Ancient Clans that ruled the Northern Frontier.

After the Gold Clan's Everlasting Fruit was stolen, the clan sealed its cities and searched everyone in Gold City. Ye Lin confronted the nervous Yun Xi, suggesting that she was the thief.

• The Gold Clan discovered that its Everlasting Fruit had vanished and locked down its cities while searching the Northern Frontier.
• Gold Clan youths used a black-and-white bug to inspect people in Gold City and warned them not to resist.
• Ye Lin sat drinking tea beside a visibly tense young woman while the search approached.
• Ye Lin told Yun Xi that he suspected she had stolen the Everlasting Fruit, and she bristled at his accusation.

• Ye Lin accused Yun Xi of acting guilty and warned that the Gold Clan would use gu insects to trace the treasure's aura.

• Ye Lin offered to protect Yun Xi if she gave him the Everlasting Fruit, while warning that she would be captured and tortured otherwise.
• Yun Xi agreed to hand over the treasure but asked Ye Lin to return it afterward so she could save her grandfather.

Ye Lin took the five-colored Everlasting Fruit from Yun Xi, then confronted a Gold Clan group demanding to inspect them. After recognizing Ye Lin as a Golden Immortal, their leader apologized and his Gu insect failed to detect the fruit under the Time Gu’s influence, leaving Ye Lin and Yun Xi free to go.

• Yun Xi gave Ye Lin the five-colored fruit after he counted down, and Ye Lin sensed its immense life force.
• A Gold Clan youth demanded that Ye Lin and Yun Xi submit to inspection.
• Ye Lin intimidated the youth by revealing his Golden Immortal strength, and the youth apologized and presented his Gu insect for inspection.
• Ye Lin awakened the Time Gu, whose gaze made the youth’s Gu insect tremble and lose its ability to detect the Everlasting Fruit on Yun Xi.
• The youth found no problem and let Ye Lin and Yun Xi proceed.

Ye Lin left the city with Yun Xi after she pleaded for help saving her grandfather, whom she hoped to save with the Everlasting Fruit.

• Yun Xi brought Ye Lin to a small village, where an old man said the clan leader was nearly unable to hold on.
• Ye Lin wondered how the villagers could survive in the world’s crushing gravity.

Ye Lin examined Yun Xi’s dying grandfather and found his mortal body unusually strong, while Yun Xi seemed unaware of how a True Immortal could extend his lifespan. Unable to determine Yun Xi’s background, Ye Lin restored her grandfather, who rapidly became a vigorous young man.

• Yun Xi took Ye Lin to a hut where her grandfather lay near death and begged him to use the Everlasting Fruit.
• Ye Lin examined the old man and found that he was a mortal with a remarkably strong physique and a lifespan nearing its end.
• Ye Lin asked Yun Xi why she had not extended her grandfather’s lifespan herself, and she admitted she did not know how.
• Ye Lin failed to identify Yun Xi’s background with his panel, then tapped her grandfather’s forehead and restored him to a youthful, vital state.

Yun Xi's grandfather awakened in a young body after she extended his lifespan, and the villagers learned that Ye Lin had helped him. Their pleas for youth and longevity left Ye Lin more determined to investigate Yun Xi.

• Yun Xi's grandfather awoke, and she tearfully embraced him as he recognized her.
• Ye Lin left the wooden house, then reconsidered leaving when he saw the mortal villagers and became curious about Yun Xi.
• The villagers recognized Yun Xi's grandfather as the village chief and reacted with shock at his youthful appearance.
• The village chief credited Ye Lin with extending his lifespan and restoring his youth, prompting the villagers to beg Ye Lin for similar help.
• The little fatty grabbed Ye Lin's leg and pleaded to become bigger.

Ye Lin granted the villagers extra lifespan and fulfilled the little fatty’s request before questioning Yun Xi about her origins. Yun Xi explained that she had grown in the mountains, gained a human body, and sought the Everlasting Fruit to save her grandfather.

• Ye Lin gave the villagers a hundred extra years of life and increased their strength.
• Ye Lin granted the little fatty’s wish, and the man promised to serve him before fleeing when threatened with losing the gift.
• After the villagers left, Ye Lin asked Yun Xi where her cultivation and human form had come from.
• Yun Xi said she had grown in the mountains and gained a body while her grandfather cared for her.
• Yun Xi explained that she sought the Gold Clan’s Everlasting Fruit to save her gravely ill grandfather.

Ye Lin spared Yun Xi after realizing she was a transformed great medicine and left to continue his search for the Seven-Colored Lotus. Soon afterward, three strangers confronted Yun Xi over the missing Everlasting Fruit.

• Ye Lin recognized Yun Xi as a medicinal herb transformed into a True Immortal and decided not to take her.

• The white tiger-shaped Demon Beast struck Ye Lin’s blood-red barrier and was sent crashing into Myriad Demon Mountain.
• Ye Lin judged the demons’ strength inadequate but sufficient as an appetizer, then used his power to turn them into blood mist for the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword.

• Ye Lin frowned at the slow pace and raised his hand, gathering immense power of laws before forming an enormous blood-red palm print.

A young man whose influence in the Demon Hall depended on the mountain ordered Elder Wang to identify Ye Lin, while conceding they would back down if he was too powerful to challenge.

• Ye Lin razed Myriad Demon Mountain with a single slap, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword absorbed the demons’ blood qi.

• The old man reversed time around Myriad Demon Mountain and saw a blood-red figure at the scene of its destruction.
• The figure sensed the old man spying and killed him with a single command, turning him into blood mist.
