Chapter Summaries

After the panel finished upgrading, Ye Lin explored its new modules and used Tracking to search for the Origin Continent. The panel revealed that the continent was thirty million billion star-steps away and demanded three billion Fortune Value to provide its exact location.

• Ye Lin searched for the Origin Continent and learned that it lay at the center of the Boundary Sea and was thirty million billion star-steps away.
• The panel told Ye Lin that he needed to pay three billion Fortune Value to learn the Origin Continent's exact location.

• Ye Lin reached the Origin Continent and saw its boundless expanse, crowded with travelers, strange creatures, and warships.

Ye Lin cautiously entered the Origin Continent, assessing its immense pressure and the power of its inhabitants. He encountered Bai Ruoxue fleeing Demonic Sect pursuers, who demanded that she return with them.

• The pursuers caught up and told Bai Ruoxue to return to the Demonic Sect, promising that its Holy Son would treat her well.

• Ye Lin arrived at a colossal city that seemed as large as a great world.

Ye Lin entered a vast city on the Origin Continent, where he encountered unfamiliar races and reflected on why so many beings resembled humans. He continued wandering with Luo Yao, seeing other newcomers but no Daluo Golden Immortals.

• Ye Lin entered the city and observed its immense streets and many strange races.
• A fleshball accused Ye Lin of mocking its body and challenged him, but Ye Lin continued walking without turning around.
• Ye Lin considered how the Ancient Human Emperor Li Jinhuang had led races in the Star River Cosmos to imitate humans, and guessed that a similar human powerhouse might explain the custom in the Boundary Sea.
• Ye Lin noticed that many beings seemed to be visiting the Origin Continent for the first time and had no particular destination.
• Ye Lin continued forward with Luo Yao and did not see a single Daluo Golden Immortal.

Ye Lin explored a vast recruitment plaza on the Origin Continent and learned how its factions ranked their cultivators. He found that even the most powerful sects advertised their beautiful female members to attract recruits.

• Ye Lin hurried through the crowd to a huge plaza filled with faction recruitment stalls.
• He saw sects offering generous benefits to Primordial Unity Golden Immortals and wondered what Dao Fruit Zenith Heaven meant.
• Ye Lin inferred that Dao Fruit Zenith Heaven cultivators had advanced by consuming Dao Fruits, while Law Zenith Heaven cultivators had proven the Dao through Laws.
• He reached the plaza’s central sects and read the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect’s boast of powerful cultivators and beautiful female members.
• Ye Lin wondered whether the Origin Continent was full of old perverts because factions used women to attract recruits.

Ye Lin visited a recruitment stall for the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect and revealed that he was a Law Zenith Heaven. The sect’s representatives hurried him to their lavish manor, where they shut the gate behind him and claimed it was for precaution.

• A young man invited Ye Lin to join the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect, which recruited only Primordial Unity Golden Immortals and above.
• Ye Lin asked what position a Daluo Golden Immortal could hold, then identified himself as a Law Zenith Heaven and revealed a trace of his aura.

• Two young men shut the gate behind Ye Lin and told him they had done so as a precaution.

• A young man offered Ye Lin the rank of Grand Elder, regular resources, a private grotto-heaven, and other benefits in exchange for helping the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect when needed.
• Ye Lin agreed after checking his panel shop and deciding he could escape any danger.
• The young man activated a Jade Talisman and opened a transportation vortex, and Ye Lin entered with Luo Yao and the three other young men.
• After the group vanished, the plaza erupted as the other sects’ recruits reported that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect had taken Ye Lin away.
• An elder berated the recruiting disciples and demanded that one of them recruit ten Primordial Unity Golden Immortals before returning.

Ye Lin learned why the Origin Continent’s factions competed to recruit powerful experts, then arrived at the magnificent Myriad Heavens Divine Sect. The chapter left him facing the sect’s awe-inspiring nine hanging peaks.

• Ye Lin questioned why the major sects were recruiting powerful experts so aggressively.
• A young man explained that factions needed experts to defend territory and resources, since the Origin Continent was the only source of cultivation resources for Daluo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints.
• The young man said the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect wanted Ye Lin’s help to deter three neighboring sects and pressure them for resources.
• The young man brought Ye Lin to the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect, where Ye Lin saw nine enormous peaks suspended in the Sky Vault.

Ye Lin met the Ancestor of the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect and accepted the position of Grand Elder. He received an exclusive identity token and was told to choose a cultivation peak before his sect-entry ceremony in three days.

• Ye Lin followed the young man to Qingcang Peak while Luo Yao slept in his arms.
• The young man reported Ye Lin’s recruitment to the Ancestor, who sent him away.
• The Ancestor summoned Ye Lin into the palace and offered him the position of Grand Elder, along with a choice of cultivation peak and access to sect resources.
• Ye Lin accepted the offer, and the Ancestor gave him a Grand Elder identity token and scheduled his sect-entry ceremony for three days later.

Ye Lin joined the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect and claimed a mountain peak after the old man recognized him as a Daluo Golden Immortal of Laws. News of the sect’s new Grand Elder spread throughout the sect, raising hopes of gaining more territory and resources.

• After Ye Lin left with Luo Yao, the old man decided the sect would need to expand its territory.
• Ye Lin chose a mountain peak and headed for its largest palace, ignoring a disciple’s warning that only the Peak Master could enter.

• The disciple realized Ye Lin was a Daluo Golden Immortal and felt relieved when Ye Lin did not reprimand him.
• The disciples spread news of the new Grand Elder throughout the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect in less than half an hour.

Ye Lin accepted four maidservants sent by the Sect Master while Luo Yao remained asleep after three thousand years. He asked Summer to take him somewhere he could learn about Origin Continent and its surroundings, and she led him to a palace containing answers to his questions.

• Ye Lin checked on Luo Yao, who had slept for three thousand years without waking, then toured the palace.
• Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter introduced themselves as maidservants sent by the Sect Master, and Ye Lin allowed them to stay.
• Summer accompanied Ye Lin as the others cleaned the hall and watched over Luo Yao.
• Ye Lin asked Summer where he could learn about Origin Continent and the surrounding region.
• Summer led Ye Lin to a palace she said could answer his questions, and he entered.

Ye Lin studied the palace’s books and learned about the immense Origin Continent and its powers. He discovered that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect was one of ten great divine sects in Heavenly March Prefecture, while weaker groups and Stowaways struggled for resources.

• Ye Lin entered the palace and found shelves of books about the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect and the Origin Continent.
• After Xia Nu showed him the relevant shelves, Ye Lin used his divine sense to read every book in the palace.
• Ye Lin learned that Heaven Province was vast beyond the reach of even quasi-sage experts, and that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect was in Heavenly March Prefecture.
• Ye Lin learned that three supreme powers controlled most of Heavenly March Prefecture, while ten great divine sects, including the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect, held major influence.
• Ye Lin learned that small sects paid tribute to the great divine sects and that Stowaways formed gangs to prey on weaker targets for scarce cultivation resources.

Ye Lin learned how factions on the Origin Continent used territory, resources, and the threat of powerful cultivators to settle disputes. After leaving with Xia Nu, he considered how the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect could provide him territory without taking it from its elders, leaving a fight as the only option.

• Ye Lin learned that the Ten Great Divine Sects ignored smaller factions’ complaints about gangs because they prioritized resources.
• Ye Lin learned that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Palace fought over territory, usually by sending younger cultivators to battle.
• Ye Lin understood that factions relied on deterrence and recruits from the Boundary Sea rather than risking a full war.
• Ye Lin told Xia Nu to leave after they had learned everything they needed.
• Ye Lin considered how to obtain territory within the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect and concluded that he would have to fight.

Zhao Wuji met Ye Lin to arrange his attendants, sect-entry ceremony, and territory. He revealed that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect would attack the neighboring Supreme Heavenly Palace after the ceremony to secure land for Ye Lin.

• Zhao Wuji visited Ye Lin and brought him to a great hall to discuss sect arrangements.
• Zhao Wuji told Ye Lin that a Ye Family Army had been formed with Five Venerables, one hundred Golden Immortals, and other cultivators.
• Zhao Wuji said Ye Lin’s ceremony would take place atop Qingcang Peak in three days, with the ancestor crowning him and powerful guests attending.
• Zhao Wuji explained that the sect had no spare territory and planned to attack the Supreme Heavenly Palace after the ceremony to claim land for Ye Lin.

Ye Lin reviewed a map of the Supreme Heavenly Palace’s territories and learned how much land Zhao Wuji’s forces planned to seize. The chapter ended with an explanation of why Daluo Golden Immortals were treated carefully and rarely coerced.

• Zhao Wuji showed Ye Lin a map marking the Supreme Heavenly Palace’s territories and proposed targets.
• Ye Lin was startled to see that roughly eighty percent of the map’s territories were outlined in red.
• Zhao Wuji explained that Ye Lin could claim portions of the marked territories, taking larger shares from Primordial Unity Golden Immortals’ lands than from Daluo Golden Immortals’ lands.
• Zhao Wuji invited Ye Lin to mark the locations and resources he wanted on the map.
• The narration explained that Daluo Golden Immortals could readily defect, so even Quasi-Saint experts treated them with respect.

Ye Lin accepted Zhao Wuji’s explanation of the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect’s loose loyalties and began assessing the Supreme Heavenly Palace’s territories. Five peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortals joined him as subordinates, and Su Xin started marking the most valuable areas on Ye Lin’s map.

• Zhao Wuji explained that Daluo Golden Immortals were recruited outsiders who followed benefits, and Ye Lin accepted the arrangement.
• Zhao Wuji left to prepare Ye Lin’s induction ceremony.
• Wang Sheng, Su Xin, Liu Feng, Zhao Dehan, and Xuanyuan Shengfeng introduced themselves as Ye Lin’s new subordinates.
• Ye Lin asked the five about the Supreme Heavenly Palace and handed Su Xin a map to mark its most valuable territories.
• Su Xin recognized that Ye Lin’s map showed the Supreme Heavenly Palace.

Ye Lin assigned his followers roles to build his influence and gather information on the Origin Continent. He decided to keep a low profile while studying the factions, but he remained short on useful resources.

• Su Xin eagerly began drawing a map of the Supreme Heavenly Palace for Ye Lin.
• Ye Lin tasked Wang Sheng with recruiting experts, Liu Feng with temporarily commanding them, and Zhao Dehan with establishing an intelligence department.
• Ye Lin kept Xuanyuan Shengfeng by his side while the other three went to carry out their duties.
• Ye Lin decided to observe the Origin Continent quietly because its factions were bound by complex interests and breaking the rules could bring suppression.
• Ye Lin realized that the immortal stones and Law Source Stones in his Spatial Ring were useless to him.

Ye Lin planned to seize resource-rich places and recruit people while the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect prepared to welcome a new Law Daluo. The arrival of powerful figures from the ten great divine sects left the Supreme Heavenly Palace worried that the sect’s new strength would upset the balance and threaten them.

• Ye Lin inspected Su Xin’s map of resource-producing places in the Supreme Heavenly Palace, marked territory he intended to take, and ordered Su Xin to recruit as many people as possible.
• Three days later, the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect prepared for the arrival of a new Law Daluo as powerful figures from the ten great divine sects gathered there.
• The Myriad Heavens Divine Sect’s thirteen Dao Fruit Daluo and three Law Daluo appeared to oversee the gathering, while visitors congratulated the sect on gaining another Law Daluo.
• Elder Wang of the Supreme Heavenly Palace sat gloomily, fearing the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect would attack them and disrupt the balance among the ten great divine sects.

Supreme Heavenly Palace’s elder worried that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect would seize territory, since their Daluo forces were evenly matched. At the sect’s ceremony, powerful guests gathered as a Saint announced Ye Lin’s appointment as the fourth Grand Elder, though no one had seen him yet.

• A Supreme Heavenly Palace elder accepted that his sect could not oppose the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect until it found a Laws Daluo of its own.
• White-Faced Scholar arrived from the Demonic Sect and took his seat among the gathered Daluo.
