Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin and his companions passed the Central Continent’s identity test and entered a hidden world, where they met a powerful old man. The chapter left them facing the old man as Hong Batian judged him to be at least an Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal.

• Ye Lin told Old Li that the three had come from the Eastern Continent to seek hope for the Human Race and the Profound Yellow World.
• Old Li led Ye Lin and his companions to a cave containing an array that exposed Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, then left them to proceed alone.
• Ye Lin, Hong Batian, and their companion passed through the cave and emerged into a small world filled with birds and shifting scenery.

• The scene settled on a thatched cottage, where a white-haired old man invited the three guests to tea.
• Hong Batian told Ye Lin that the old man was at least an Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal.

Ye Lin told the old man that he had come to offer the Profound Yellow World a sliver of hope, while the old man explained how the Heavenly Demon Great World was devastating the Human Race. Ye Lin decided to reveal the truth about the Ascension Gate and make the old man understand that he was the world’s only hope.

• Ye Lin told the old man he had come to offer the world a sliver of hope, but the old man said the Human Race could not defeat an entire Great World.

• Ye Lin decided to send the old man information about the Ascension Gate and show him that Ye Lin was their only hope.

Ye Lin told an Eight-Tribulation Loose Immortal about the Ascension Gate and the danger facing the Profound Yellow World, but the old man doubted his claims. Hong Batian demonstrated that he was a true immortal, giving the old man reason to believe them.

Ye Lin asked three powerful cultivators to help open the passages from Central Continent to the other four continents so he could prepare to turn Loose Immortals into immortals. They warned that opening the passages would also let the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons’ main army spread beyond Central Continent.

• The old man warned that opening the passages would allow the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons’ main forces to enter the four continents.

Ye Lin urged the elders to reopen the passages between the five continents before the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons overwhelmed the Eastern Continent, but they doubted his warnings. He claimed absolute authority in the Central Continent as proof, leaving the elders to decide whether to trust him.

• Ye Lin argued that the Central Continent had fallen because of its arrogance and that the four remaining continents needed to unite against the invasion.

• Ye Lin declared that he had absolute authority in the Central Continent and asked whether that was enough to convince them.

Ye Lin tried to persuade the old man to unite the continents against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, but the old man demanded that he first seize authority over the Southern, Western, and Northern Continents. Ye Lin told him to share the proposal with the other races while he negotiated with the transcendent factions, leaving the Central Continent’s response unresolved.

• The old man doubted Ye Lin’s claim that he could command the Eastern Continent and said one continent’s authority would not be enough to unite the world.

• Ye Lin argued that the Central Continent’s weakened forces needed his help and warned that the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons would eventually destroy or enslave its people.
• Ye Lin asked the old man to pass his proposal to the other races and said he would negotiate with the transcendent factions before returning for an answer.
• Ye Lin said he could leave the world if necessary and insisted that he was offering the Central Continent hope rather than begging for its support.
