Chapter Summaries

Ye Lin exposed Ling Fan and the old man as impostors and demanded to know what had happened to the real Qilin Saint. After Ling Fan and Ling Feng threatened him for the Three-Life Sacred Lotus, Ye Lin surrounded them with three equally powerful clones.

• Ye Lin reasoned that the two men were not true subordinates of the Qilin Saint because they showed him no respect and the old man's imitation of a Saint's pressure felt unconvincing.
• Ye Lin demanded to know where the real Qilin Saint was and whether the impostors had killed him or sought the Three-Life Sacred Lotus to claim credit.
• The old man transformed into Ling Feng and revealed that he and his elder brother Ling Fan were both mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortals.
• Ling Fan and Ling Feng demanded the Three-Life Sacred Lotus and threatened Ye Lin, but Ye Lin summoned three matching clones to surround them.
• Ling Feng was stunned that Ye Lin's clones seemed to have the same strength and aura as Ye Lin himself.

Ye Lin demanded that Ling Fan and Ling Feng reveal the Qilin Saint’s whereabouts, but they refused and demanded the Three-Life Sacred Lotus. Ye Lin launched an attack, and a battle began inside the soundproof secret chamber.

• Ye Lin asked the brothers where the Qilin Saint was and warned he would force them to answer if they refused.
• Ling Fan and Ling Feng refused to reveal their secret and demanded that Ye Lin hand over the Three-Life Sacred Lotus.
• Ye Lin summoned the Godslayer Sword and attacked Ling Fan while his three clones charged at Ling Feng.
• Ling Fan drew his spear and fought Ye Lin, but Ye Lin’s Grand Void Space-Rending Sword sent him flying.

Ye Lin overwhelmed Ling Fan and Ling Feng, defeating Ling Fan’s attempt to bargain for his life. Ling Fan fought back against Ye Lin’s Sword Qi, while the three avatars continued to batter Ling Feng.

• Ye Lin struck Ling Fan with Sword Qi, leaving him shocked that a mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal could be suppressed so thoroughly.
• Ling Fan used his spear to shatter Ye Lin’s Sword Qi, while the three avatars continued attacking Ling Feng and left him gravely wounded.
• Ye Lin blasted Ling Fan into the ground with the Grand Void Space-Rending Sword.
• Ling Fan offered to reveal everything and threatened that Ye Lin could not learn the truth through Soul Search.
• Ye Lin refused to spare Ling Fan, saying that meeting the Qilin Saint did not matter to him.
• Ling Fan dragged his wounded body to his feet and charged into the Sword Qi raining down on him.

Ye Lin killed Ling Fan and Ling Feng, then searched the secret chamber for its hidden purpose. As he prepared to leave, he sensed the Qilin Saint’s pure saintly might and attacked the walls to uncover its source.

• Ye Lin’s Sword Qi pulverized Ling Fan after Ling Fan gave up resisting.
• Ye Lin confirmed that Ling Feng had already been killed by his three clones.
• Ye Lin searched the secret chamber but found no unusual features, and decided to ask the people outside.
• Ye Lin sensed the Qilin Saint’s powerful saintly might behind him and searched the chamber again.
• Ye Lin sent Azure Frost and the Godslayer Sword to strike the walls indiscriminately, hoping to reveal a hidden passage.

Ye Lin found the hidden entrance to the chamber where he believed the Qilin Saint was trapped, but could not open its sturdy wall. He attacked it with his treasures and clones, leaving it cracked and leaking saintly might.

• Ye Lin compared the sounds of the chamber walls and identified the wall hiding the Qilin Saint.
• Ye Lin realized the wall was too strong to open by hand and suspected the Qilin Saint’s condition was poor.
• Ye Lin summoned Azure Frost, the Godslayer Sword, and the Heaven-Shaking Bell and bombarded the wall.
• Ye Lin released three clones to help attack, making the wall tremble and develop spreading cracks.
• A series of cracks sounded, and faint saintly might seeped through the gaps.

Ye Lin found a wounded, chained qilin that he suspected was the Qilin Saint and freed it. The beast remained too weak to respond, and Ye Lin wondered whether the Ling Fan brothers had imprisoned it and carved flesh from its body.

• Ye Lin broke through the wall and entered the cave, following the growing holy might to a vast chamber.
• Ye Lin discovered a red-furred qilin covered in wounds and bound inside an iron cage, and asked whether it was the Qilin Saint.
• When the qilin did not respond, Ye Lin used the Godslayer Sword to sever its chains.
• Ye Lin examined the qilin's wounds and suspected the Ling Fan brothers had trapped it and cut off its flesh for cultivation.

Ye Lin fed a badly injured quasi-Saint Qilin sacred healing medicines and the Three-Life Sacred Lotus, then waited for it to recover inside its iron cage. The Qilin regained its strength, confronted Ye Lin, and prepared to break free.

• Ye Lin tossed sacred healing medicines and the Three-Life Sacred Lotus into the iron cage, and the Qilin swallowed them.
• Ye Lin kept the cage closed and waited as the Qilin's wounds healed and its Saintly might grew stronger.
• After ten hours, Ye Lin turned around and found the Qilin standing in the cage, fully recovered and radiating power.
• The Qilin scolded Ye Lin for nagging and ordered him to step aside so it could break the iron cage.
• Ye Lin obeyed and retreated into the cave entrance.

Ye Lin freed the Qilin, which repaid him with a Wind-Stabilizing Pearl and promised to help him in the future. The Qilin then charged out to confront three quasi-Saint opponents, while Ye Lin decided to find more resources for himself.

• The Qilin shattered its cage and told Ye Lin he could ask for anything as repayment for saving it.
• Ye Lin said he needed nothing, so the Qilin gave him the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl, which could freeze time in an area and let him call for help.
• The Qilin said it planned to attack the three elders who had schemed against it and leaped through the secret chamber’s ceiling.
• Ye Lin worried that the Qilin might die fighting alone, then realized he had given away all the cultivation resources and decided to find more benefits.

Ye Lin confronted Chu Qinxin at the City Lord Mansion after the Qilin began fighting in the skies, demanding the jade box she had taken. Their standoff was interrupted when terrifying auras arrived and ordered them to surrender.

• Ye Lin followed the Qilin’s route to the surface and sensed that its battle had begun.
• Ye Lin rushed to the City Lord Mansion to seize its treasures.
• Ye Lin found Chu Qinxin holding a jade box taken from an open chest, and she claimed the item was hers.
• Ye Lin drew Azure Frost and demanded that Chu Qinxin leave the jade box behind.
• Before Chu Qinxin could finish speaking, powerful auras arrived and accused her and Deputy City Lord Ye of trespassing.

Luo Rulie searched Heavenly Capital City for Ye Lin and feared that Ye Lin had stolen the Three-Life Sacred Lotus to save the wounded qilin. When the qilin emerged and chaos broke out, Luo Rulie and his followers tried to loot the City Lord Mansion, but they encountered Ye Lin and Chu Qinxin.

• Luo Rulie searched for Ye Lin and concluded that Ye Lin had likely stolen the Three-Life Sacred Lotus to heal the qilin.
• Luo Rulie's subordinates reassured him that the qilin might already be dead, but he ordered them to keep searching and maintain appearances.
• After nine hours, the qilin emerged and threatened the three city lords, terrifying Luo Rulie and his followers.
• Luo Rulie decided to loot the City Lord Mansion and flee, while the deputy city lords maintained order and the Shadow Guards began looting.
• Luo Rulie encountered Ye Lin and Chu Qinxin, accused them of betraying the city lords, and demanded that they surrender what they carried.

Ye Lin confronted Luo Rulie and his men at the City Lord Mansion, where Chu Qinxin tricked Ye Lin and escaped. With the others more interested in looting than fighting, Ye Lin entered the mansion to search for treasures himself.

• Luo Rulie demanded that Ye Lin surrender his treasures and threatened to hand him over to the City Lord.
• Chu Qinxin tossed Ye Lin a Spatial Ring, claimed he had her treasures, and fled; Ye Lin realized she had tricked him.
• Luo Rulie sent three Law Daluo Golden Immortals to stop Ye Lin, then led his followers into the City Lord Mansion to loot it.
• The three cultivators decided not to fight Ye Lin and entered the mansion to search for treasures.
• Ye Lin put away his sword and slipped into the City Lord Mansion to loot it as well.

Ye Lin followed Luo Rulie into a hidden passage beneath an altar, where Luo Rulie found Heavenly Capital City’s accumulated treasures. Ye Lin blocked the exit and confronted him over the loot, and the two began to fight with Luo Rulie trapped inside.

• Ye Lin saw Luo Rulie's panel, which revealed a secret passage behind the altar and a cache of treasures.
• Luo Rulie smashed the altar, entered the passage, and began collecting the treasures inside.
• Ye Lin followed Luo Rulie into the treasure chamber and sealed the exit with the Heaven-Shaking Bell and three clones.
• Ye Lin demanded that Luo Rulie surrender the treasures, while Luo Rulie accused him of following and obstructing him.
• Ye Lin attacked, and Luo Rulie charged at him with his twin blades.

Ye Lin defeated and killed Luo Rulie in the sealed secret chamber, then took his treasures. He left the looted City Lord Mansion and walked through the ruined city, finding no one in sight.

• Ye Lin overpowered Luo Rulie, who admitted he had acted out of helplessness and accepted his death.
• Ye Lin killed Luo Rulie and took his Spatial Ring and possessions.
• Ye Lin searched the City Lord Mansion but found it already stripped of anything valuable.
• Ye Lin left the mansion and walked through streets filled with ruins, unable to find anyone.

Ye Lin slaughtered the incense-bewitched inhabitants of Heavenly Capital City while his incarnations spread out to help. Elsewhere, the Qilin Saint defeated and devoured three elders from Heaven Mountain.

• A woman tried to stop Ye Lin from walking the streets, and he slapped her into a pulp.
• Ye Lin gave the Godslayer Sword to Xiaoyao and the Heaven-Shaking Bell to Lin Xian, then sent his incarnations in different directions.
• Ye Lin and his incarnations killed the beings they encountered in Heavenly Capital City, finding that the Soul-Bewildering Incense had left even Law Da Luo unable to resist.
• The Qilin Saint confronted three Daoist elders and blamed them for plotting against him in the past.
• The elders appealed to Heaven Mountain for protection, but the Qilin Saint dismissed their threat and swallowed all three.

After the Qilin Saint killed the three elders who had betrayed him, he abandoned Heavenly Capital City, leaving Ye Lin to slaughter its inhabitants. Ye Lin killed everyone in the city and then sat alone on its wall, reflecting on how rare Daluo Golden Immortals were beyond this place.

• The Qilin Saint recalled how the elders had killed his two friends and nearly killed him, then watched Ye Lin continue slaughtering the city’s puppets.
• The Qilin Saint decided he no longer wanted Heavenly Capital City and left it behind.
• Ye Lin and three other figures slaughtered in Heavenly Capital City for three days and three nights.
• Ye Lin killed every living being in the city, including roughly twenty Law Da Luo and several dozen Dao Fruit Da Luo.
• Ye Lin sat on the city wall and reflected that the Origin Continent drew powerful beings from across the Boundary Sea, making Daluo Golden Immortals far from common.

Ye Lin checked his panel after three days of slaughter and found his Luck had risen to three trillion, though his Destiny remained unchanged. Tang Feng arrived with his master and senior sister, bringing Luo Yao and Xinyou, and learned that Ye Lin had already escaped Heavenly Capital City.

• Ye Lin reviewed his panel and saw that his Luck had reached three trillion and his Fate Rank had become Origin (Incomplete).
• Ye Lin resolved to spend his Luck advancing his cultivation and vowed to kill Chu Qinxin if they met again.
• Three figures carrying Saint's might approached Ye Lin in the dead city, and he prepared to flee.
• Ye Lin recognized Tang Feng, Tang Feng's master, and his senior sister, who had brought Luo Yao and Xinyou with them.
• Tang Feng explained that he had asked his master to rescue Ye Lin, and Ye Lin told them Heavenly Capital City had already vanished.

Ye Lin explained that the released qilin sacred beast had killed the people in Heavenly Capital City and defeated its three quasi-Saints before leaving. After Tang Feng invited Ye Lin to join the Supreme Sword Sect, Ye Lin asked what Tang Feng knew about Chu Qinxin.

• Tang Feng found Heavenly Capital City filled with corpses and questioned Ye Lin about what had happened.
• Ye Lin said he had released the qilin sacred beast, which killed the city's inhabitants and then departed after defeating three quasi-Saints.
• Tang Feng's master handed Luo Yao back to Ye Lin, then left with the other woman and invited Ye Lin to become a peak master of the Supreme Sword Sect.
• Tang Feng urged Ye Lin to join the Supreme Sword Sect, but Ye Lin considered the Chaos Ancient Clan's invasion and the uncertain future.
• Ye Lin asked Tang Feng about Chu Qinxin, and Tang Feng described her as quiet, reserved, and usually alone.

Ye Lin declined Tang Feng’s invitation to join the Supreme Sword Sect and chose to wander with Luo Yao instead. After Tang Feng gave him a map of Long River Prefecture and left, Ye Lin set off and asked Luo Yao where they should go first.

• Tang Feng failed to answer Ye Lin’s questions about Chu Qinxin and invited him to join the Supreme Sword Sect.
• Ye Lin thanked Tang Feng for rescuing him but said he preferred to wander rather than join a sect.
• Tang Feng respected Ye Lin’s choice, gave him a map of Long River Prefecture, and departed.
• Ye Lin held Luo Yao and traveled through the void while examining the map and considering the powerful factions and exotic beasts of the Origin Continent.
• Ye Lin asked Luo Yao where they should go first.

• Ye Lin took Luo Yao to a teahouse and ordered the best dishes and desserts.
• Ye Lin asked Wang Ming about recent events and gave him an immortal plant in exchange for information.
• Wang Ming described a wounded Daluo Golden Immortal taken in by the City Lord and a dispute between the four great families over a mineral vein.
• Wang Ming said evil spirits had appeared in the Evil Spirit Abyss, where the City Lord and experts from the four great families had gone to suppress them without sending definite news.
• Ye Lin asked what the Evil Spirit Abyss was, and Wang Ming explained that its evil spirits attacked cultivators’ Primordial Spirits and drained their essence, while its scarce Evil Spirit Crystals strengthened Primordial Spirits.
