Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin defeated a series of challengers at the exchange meet, though he appeared exhausted and concealed how convincingly he controlled the fights. The chapter ended as Lin Feng, a domain-realm saber expert, challenged him, leaving the crowd expecting Ye Lin to lose.

• Lin Feng of the Heaven-Overturning Sacred Land challenged Ye Lin, and Ye Lin sensed that he was dangerous.
• The prodigies mocked the Heaven-Overturning Sacred Land and bet on Lin Feng, leaving Jiang Tian frustrated.

Ye Lin arranged a large bet on himself through Jian Nan, and Wilderness joined in despite doubting his chances. As Lin Feng drew his blade and released overwhelming killing intent, the fight was about to begin.

• Lin Feng drew his two-meter blade and faced Ye Lin with the terrifying killing intent his aura naturally exuded.

Ye Lin fought Lin Feng in the Arena, matching the battle-hardened disciple’s lethal saber attacks despite not having mastered a domain. The fight continued as observers warned that Lin Feng’s domain would likely decide the outcome.

• The watching geniuses realized Ye Lin had concealed his true strength and that their bets had played into his plan.
• Ye Lin stopped time to halt Lin Feng’s blood-red longsword, then used Eight-Direction Sword Assault to suppress Lin Feng’s domain.

• Ye Lin watched the late- and peak-stage Earth Immortal battles and refined his understanding.
• Jiang Tian announced that the fighting was over and invited the disciples to share genuine cultivation, Dao, or combat experience.
• The Arena broke apart and formed a Lotus Arena above rows of meditation cushions.
• Jiang Tian said the preaching would proceed in reverse order and called on Firmament Sacred Land first.
• A middle-stage Earth Immortal disciple of Firmament Sacred Land ascended the Lotus Arena and shared his combat experience, which Ye Lin listened to carefully.

Heavenly Immortal elders secretly watched the juniors’ preaching because it could give them insights into the Dao. After one disciple finished preaching and accepted the listeners’ bows, Jiang Tian invited someone from the Firmament Sacred Land to speak next and looked to Jian Nan.

• The elders of the three sacred lands watched the juniors’ preaching, recalling that one elder had once broken through after listening to it.
• The disciple preached for three shichen, then accepted the disciples’ respectful bows and returned to his meditation cushion.
• Jiang Tian asked who from the Firmament Sacred Land would preach next and looked to Jian Nan, eager to hear his discourse.

Jian Nan preached his Dao for five hours, impressing the listeners and helping Ye Lin recognize that his Sword Dao conflicted with the full potential of his Unrivaled Sacred Body. Ye Lin was left considering whether to abandon one path or cultivate both.

• Jian Nan began preaching about his Dao, his domain, and the path he planned to follow, creating phenomena across heaven and earth.

• Ye Lin realized that his focus on the Sword Dao kept him from fully developing the Unrivaled Sacred Body and its Saint-Falling Fist.
• Ye Lin considered abandoning one path or continuing to cultivate both.

Ye Lin reflected on how scattered his cultivation had been before stepping forward to expound the Dao of Time. His discourse lasted thirty days, leaving only the leading figures of the three Sacred Lands able to keep listening.

• After thirty days, only the leading figures of the three Sacred Lands remained able to listen, though even they struggled to understand Ye Lin's Dao.

After finishing a month of preaching, Ye Lin reflected on his growing mastery of the Dao of Time and learned how far ahead his cultivation was compared with the average Immortal Realm cultivator. He remained just short of reaching the late stage of Earth Immortal, and the chapter left him confident rather than discouraged.

• Ye Lin finished preaching, accepted the audience's salute, and left the lotus arena.
• Jian Nan noticed Ye Lin's fluctuating aura and asked if he was about to break through; Ye Lin said he was still about a hundred years away from the late stage of Earth Immortal.
• Jian Nan told Ye Lin the average ages at which cultivators across the Star River Cosmos reached each Earth Immortal stage.
• Ye Lin was astonished by the age gap, then understood it in light of the vast population and the balance governing life and cultivation.
• Ye Lin thanked Jian Nan and said his heart was not fragile.

Ye Lin reflected on his Dao after a year-long lecture and returned toward Firmament Sacred Land with Jian Nan. Jian Nan warned him that Elder Zhuge would give him a trial in ten years, which would determine whether he could remain an elder’s disciple.

• Ye Lin welcomed people who came to befriend him along the way and received many gifts.
• Jian Nan explained that Ye Lin would face Elder Zhuge’s trial in ten years and could be demoted or expelled if he failed.

Ye Lin returned to the Firmament Sacred Land and began cultivating in seclusion to advance before the ten-year deadline. His status showed that he remained a mid-stage Earth Immortal with over fifty million Luck Value and a one-time opportunity to advance an entire major realm.

• Jian Nan explained that the Firmament Sacred Land used trials and rewards to keep its disciples progressing, since only three hundred people were admitted every thousand years.
• After traveling for a year, Ye Lin and Jian Nan arrived at the Firmament Sacred Land and said farewell.
• Ye Lin returned to his cave abode on the island and began cultivating, aiming to advance toward the late Earth Immortal stage within ten years.
• Ye Lin reviewed his status, including his powerful traits, his predicted death after entering the Central Star Domain, and his unused realm advancement opportunity.
• Ye Lin noted that his Luck Value was easy to spend but said he still had his ultimate trump card.

After ten years of seclusion, Ye Lin emerged and received a trial from Zhuge Yun: he had to restore the Human Race in the Myriad Demon Great World and bring the realm under Firmament Sacred Land's control. He set out with a World-Breaking Talisman, needing to return within three hundred years, before the Demon-Sealing Land appeared.

• Ye Lin ended his ten-year seclusion, having come close to advancing his Earth Immortal cultivation.

• Ye Lin accepted the trial and left, with Zhuge Yun promising to teach him everything if he succeeded.

Ye Lin collected the long-awaited Body-Tempering Pill, said farewell to Liu Bai, and traveled to the Myriad Demon Great World for his next mission. He reached the remote world in Area 152 of the Third Heavenly Domain after more than a year of travel.

• Ye Lin received a low-grade Immortal-tier Body-Tempering Pill that a disciple had spent several years refining.

• Ye Lin took his Stellar Warboat to Area 152 in the Third Heavenly Domain, where the Myriad Demon Great World was located.
• Ye Lin followed his star map for more than a year and found the Myriad Demon Great World.

Ye Lin entered the Myriad Demon Great World and discovered that many of its inhabitants grafted Demon Beast parts onto their bodies. After killing one who attacked him, he realized they used secret arts to borrow the beasts’ strength, though their path risked consuming them with the beasts’ will.

• Ye Lin used a Realm-Breaking Talisman to break through the Myriad Demon Great World’s barrier and enter before the Heavenly Dao repaired it.
• Ye Lin entered a city and saw people with grafted Demon Beast parts, while ordinary humans hid in fear.
• A young man with tiger claws insulted Ye Lin and attacked him.
• Ye Lin dodged the attack, killed the young man, and continued through the city.
• Ye Lin concluded that the grafting method borrowed Demon Beast traits but could eventually turn its practitioners into slaughtering monsters.

Ye Lin rescued an old man and his granddaughter from a tiger-headed humanoid, then asked the old man to explain the world and the city. The old man sat down to begin answering him.

• Ye Lin saw a tiger-headed humanoid threaten an old man and his fourteen-year-old granddaughter.
• Ye Lin lifted the creature into the air and made it vanish, saving the pair.
• The old man thanked Ye Lin and invited him into their poor home.
• Ye Lin asked the old man for basic information about the world, its cultivation system, and the city.
• Ye Lin told the hesitant old man to sit, and the old man did so.

Ye Lin explained the history of the Myriad Demon Great World, where a blood moon empowered mutated creatures and led to the Human Race’s long struggle against the Demon Race. He revealed that the beastmen ruled the city and treated humans as food and experimental subjects.

• Ye Lin said a blood moon had transformed the world a million years earlier, causing living beings other than humans to mutate into powerful Demon Beasts.
• Ye Lin explained that the Prophet created martial arts and helped humans establish a city, but the Demon Race later killed him and plunged humanity back into darkness.
• Ye Lin said the Human Race survived through the efforts of generations of prodigies while remaining disadvantaged against the Demon Race.
• Ye Lin described how only the Human Race, Demon Race, and beastmen remained, and said the beastmen experimented on humans in their city, where humans were considered food.

Ye Lin learned how the Demon Beasts had conquered the world and how the Human Race survived through the Heavenly Dao’s support. After giving food and water to the old man, he set off to find the Human Race’s Martial King on the Holy Mountain.

• The old man explained that beastmen had developed grafting cultivation, while the Human Race had only three Heavenly Human Realm experts and one Martial King against the Demon Beasts’ many Martial Kings.
• Ye Lin realized the Human Race had been spared extinction by the Heavenly Dao and considered helping it rise to gain the world’s favor.
• Ye Lin filled the old man’s house with food and replenished his water jar, then asked where the Human Race’s Martial King was.
• The old man said the Martial King guarded the Holy Mountain at the edge of Human Race territory.
• Ye Lin vanished toward the Holy Mountain, leaving the old man astonished by his abilities.
