Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin arrived on the Origin Continent and paid his respects to the Ancestor and the assembled Daluo Golden Immortals. The Ancestor welcomed him with three valuable treasures to aid his travel, cultivation, and defense.

• The Ancestor gave Ye Lin a Realm-Escaping Boat for swift travel and a Celestial Cloud Flower for Primordial Spirit healing and cultivation.
• The Ancestor gave Ye Lin a Heaven-Shaking Bell that could destroy a body, shatter a divine soul, and sever karma, and Ye Lin thanked him.

• Ye Lin brought Su Xin forward, and Su Xin unfurled a map and named five locations as Ye Lin's private property.
• Su Xin added vast plains and surrounding territories to Ye Lin's domain, while Elder Wang's relief gave way to concern as the list continued.

Su Xin announced Ye Lin’s demands for the Supreme Heavenly Palace to vacate several territories and stop extracting their resources.

• Luo Yao explained that she met her aunt while asleep and had been playing at the aunt's place, which was full of fun things.

Luo Yao told Ye Lin that her aunt had been secretly watching him and might take him as a disciple, leaving Ye Lin stunned by her power and Luo Yao’s mysterious origins. The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar admitted it knew almost nothing about the aunt and had only pretended to be knowledgeable.

• Ye Lin asked Luo Yao whether she could see her aunt whenever she wanted, and Luo Yao said her aunt had to call for her first.

• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar confessed that it had made things up to sound knowledgeable, and Ye Lin closed his eyes without listening to its defense.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar worried that Ye Lin would discard it, while Ye Lin prepared to gather forces and resources. Zhao Wuji offered him manpower and delivered a one-time offering from the ancestor.

• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar feared Ye Lin might throw it away and began considering how to escape.
• Ye Lin ordered Su Xin to recruit people and gather experts to depart in three days.
• Zhao Wuji offered to assign experts to Ye Lin, who accepted the help.
• Zhao Wuji handed Ye Lin a Spatial Ring containing the ancestor's one-time offering.

Ye Lin accepted the resources in the Spatial Ring and organized a five-team force to patrol the battlefield and keep the Supreme Heavenly Palace’s Daluo Golden Immortals in check.

• Members of the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect courted Luo Yao’s favor, hoping she could connect them to Ye Lin.

The Myriad Heavens Divine Sect seized territory from former subordinates of the Supreme Heavenly Palace, ordering them to surrender their possessions before they could leave. Zhao Dehan enforced the order, and the cultivators who had hidden their fortunes in the Boundary Sea were told they had to give up those treasures too.

• Former subordinates of the Supreme Heavenly Palace fled as the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect moved to take their territory.

• A cultivator asked to keep treasures stored in the Boundary Sea, but Zhao Dehan ordered him to surrender everything or die.

Zhao Dehan and the powerful figures claimed territories for Ye Lin, collecting treasures from those who had occupied them. Small forces affiliated with the defeated Supreme Heavenly Palace fled and complained over losing the land and money they had invested.

• The living beings at the gates surrendered their storage treasures, and Zhao Dehan kept the remainder to hand over to Elder Ye.

As the Supreme Heavenly Palace’s subordinate factions fled or sought shelter under Ye Lin, he patrolled his newly acquired territory and received a message that sent him away with a flash of killing intent. Elsewhere, Su Xin lay bloodied beneath a supreme figure in the sky.

• Displaced factions complained about the chaos, and some decided to leave the Origin Continent while others headed to the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect to seek Ye Lin’s protection.

• Ye Lin received a message on a Jade Talisman, showed killing intent, and left with his two maidservants.
• Su Xin lay covered in blood and struggled to look up at the supreme figure in the sky.

Ye Lin arrived to confront a Daluo Golden Immortal who had beaten Su Xin and his cultivators for claiming land publicly assigned to Ye Lin. The old man defended his claim, while Ye Lin argued that the sect had already agreed to his ownership and prepared to escalate the dispute.

• The old man ordered Su Xin and his cultivators to leave the territory, insisting it belonged to him despite Su Xin citing the sect-entry ceremony and Elder Wang's presence.
• Su Xin told the old man that Elder Ye was on his way, but the old man attacked him with a massive golden hand.
• Ye Lin appeared with two maidservants and shattered the golden hand with a sword cry.
• Ye Lin challenged the old man, arguing that Elder Wang's silence at the ceremony had confirmed the territory was his and condemning the attack on his people.
• Ye Lin assessed the old man as a weak early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal and considered killing him openly if the dispute continued.

Ye Lin confronted an old man who rejected his claim to the territory and attacked him with Azure Frost. After exposing the old man’s unstable, Dao Fruit-based cultivation, Ye Lin prepared to kill him.

• The old man refused to give Ye Lin the territory, and Ye Lin’s maidservants confirmed that he had insulted Ye Lin.
• Ye Lin cited the old man’s refusal, attack on his subordinate, and insult as three crimes and drew Azure Frost.
• Ye Lin’s advancing aura gathered dark clouds and thunder as the old man warned that an attack could start a war between their sects.
• Ye Lin slashed at the old man, cutting apart his thunder dragon before the old man shattered the remaining Sword Qi with a palm and injured his hand.
• Ye Lin mocked the old man’s unstable Zenith Heaven realm and Dao Fruit-based cultivation, then declared that he deserved to die.

Ye Lin effortlessly killed Elder Liu of the Supreme Heavenly Palace after exposing his weak cultivation and destroying his body and Primordial Spirit. A Supreme Heavenly Palace Grand Elder threatened to report him to the sect’s ancestor, but a Law Great Luo from the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect appeared and challenged the fleeing man.

• Ye Lin dismissed Elder Liu as trash and destroyed his golden Dharma Manifestation and physical body with Sword Qi.
• Elder Liu threatened Ye Lin with war between Daluo Golden Immortals, but Ye Lin killed his Primordial Spirit with Sword Qi and Fury Thunder.
• A middle-aged Supreme Heavenly Palace Grand Elder arrived, mourned Elder Liu, and threatened to report Ye Lin to the sect’s ancestor.
• A Law Great Luo from the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect appeared and told the fleeing Grand Elder to stop acting.

Ye Lin and Tang Feng confronted a Supreme Heavenly Palace elder over Ye Lin killing Elder Liu, then left to discuss compensation while Su Xin led a massacre of those who had stayed behind. At a teahouse, Tang Feng warned that Ye Lin’s actions would be difficult to cover up.

• The middle-aged elder accused Ye Lin of killing Elder Liu and damaging the Supreme Heavenly Palace’s prestige.
• Tang Feng defended Ye Lin and demanded compensation, prompting the elder to set aside his anger and suggest they talk.
• Ye Lin ordered his subordinates to kill the remaining beings, and Tang Feng left with him to collect what they were owed.
• Su Xin and his men recovered from their injuries and slaughtered those who had not fled.
• At a teahouse, Tang Feng told Ye Lin that his actions would be difficult to cover up.

Ye Lin and Tang Feng negotiated compensation from Wang Wu after Ye Lin killed a man, agreeing to keep the matter secret for three years. After Wang Wu left, Ye Lin asked Tang Feng why his victim’s side had paid him instead of seeking revenge.

• Tang Feng warned Wang Wu that Ye Lin would kill him if he kept stalling, then asked how much he would pay.
• Wang Wu offered three million, then five million jin of Great Luo Divine Source to each of them, but Tang Feng rejected the offer.
• Ye Lin demanded ten million jin, and Tang Feng proposed ten million for Ye Lin and five million for himself.
• Wang Wu handed over a Spatial Ring and demanded that they keep the news secret for three years before leaving.
• Ye Lin asked Tang Feng why Wang Wu had paid him after Ye Lin killed one of their people.

Tang Feng explained that Ye Lin’s killing of the old Daluo Golden Immortal had benefited the Supreme Heavenly Palace, which wanted him dead, and gave Ye Lin the Zenith Heaven Divine Source as hush money. After Tang Feng left, Ye Lin wondered what the elder truly wanted from him.

• Tang Feng told Ye Lin that the Supreme Heavenly Palace had long resented the old man for consuming resources to stabilize his artificially raised cultivation and had tried to arrange his assassination.
• Tang Feng said the old man’s death had solved the Palace’s problem, but asked Ye Lin to keep it quiet for three years so the Supreme Heavenly Palace would avoid further trouble.
• Tang Feng explained that powerful figures could make the death a fact or keep the old man officially alive by choosing whether to speak about it.
• Tang Feng gave Ye Lin the Spatial Ring containing his share of the Zenith Heaven Divine Source and left, saying it was Ye Lin’s to begin with.
• Ye Lin considered the precious resource and asked his two maidservants what they thought of Tang Feng.

Ye Lin asked about Tang Feng, then went to check the Supreme Heavenly Palace’s progress and wondered where Sword Venerable had ended up. At the palace, Wang Wu gathered its powerhouses, who worried that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect’s growing strength would leave them unable to defend their territory.

• Ye Lin learned that Xia Nu and the other woman knew little about Grand Elder Tang Feng, then set off to inspect the territory they had taken.
• Ye Lin wondered how Sword Venerable was faring and whether he had joined one of Heavenly March Prefecture’s three supreme factions.
• Wang Wu returned to the Supreme Heavenly Palace and gathered its powerhouses to discuss the death of the old freeloader at Ye Lin’s hands.
• The Supreme Heavenly Palace’s powerhouses celebrated the old man’s death, then worried that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect now had two more Daluo Golden Immortals than they did.
• The palace’s Quasi-Saint ancestor asked whether their factions could provide Daluo Golden Immortals to oversee the palace, but the assembled leaders said this would be difficult.
• A Daluo Golden Immortal reported that the Myriad Heavens Divine Sect was expanding in every direction, forcing other factions to recruit Daluo Golden Immortals to stabilize the balance.

Myriad Heavens Divine Sect worried that Elder Wang’s death would weaken its deterrence and leave it vulnerable to other major sects, so its leaders resolved to recruit Daluo Golden Immortals. Ye Lin secured his mapped territories and learned that visitors had gathered at Xuanyuan Peak to seek management rights.

• A senior elder warned that Myriad Heavens Divine Sect needed to recruit at least one Daluo Golden Immortal before news of Elder Wang’s death spread in three years.
• The sect’s Daluo Golden Immortals agreed to take the recruitment effort seriously, fearing other powers would divide their territory.
• Su Xin reported that Ye Lin had taken all the territories marked on the map and that they offered him more resources than other Daluo Golden Immortals received.
• Xia Nu told Ye Lin that visitors were waiting at Xuanyuan Peak to pay their respects and apply to manage the territories.

Ye Lin returned to Xuanyuan Peak and dismissed complaints about Luo Yao’s unruly adventures. He then heard subordinate factions’ requests to manage newly claimed territory, beginning with the Heavenly Sword Sect’s bid for the Hundred-Broken Mountain Range.

• Ye Lin returned to Xuanyuan Peak, where experts had gathered to meet him.
• Spring Maiden and Autumn Maiden told Ye Lin that merchants had complained about Luo Yao’s disruptive antics.
• Ye Lin dismissed the complaints and let Luo Yao continue playing, while the gathered experts entered the hall and knelt before him.
• Ye Lin asked which territories the experts wanted to manage, and the Heavenly Sword Sect requested the Hundred-Broken Mountain Range and offered him a tribute.

Ye Lin divided the available territories among powerful groups in return for most of their resources, then withdrew to cultivate. He reflected on how slowly Daluo Golden Immortals advanced and how vulnerable Heavenly March Prefecture remained to powerful arrivals from the Boundary Sea.

• A middle-aged man offered Ye Lin a Spatial Ring and proposed that the Heavenly Sword Sect manage the Hundred-Broken Mountain Range in exchange for ninety percent of its Seven-Colored Stone proceeds.
• Ye Lin accepted the deal and handed the Hundred-Broken Mountain Range to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
• Other experts offered tributes and requested territories, and Ye Lin assigned them the remaining lands.
• Ye Lin ordered his four maidservants to secretly monitor and manage the new territories.
• Ye Lin entered a secret chamber to cultivate and lamented how slowly Daluo Golden Immortals advanced.
