• To avoid pursuit by the Myriad Gods Hall and the Sala Divine Fetus’s forces, Liu Feng hides his true body within the Insect Hall and travels through Yu Zhenzi’s body.

• The Seven Immortals Sect suddenly experiences violent earthquakes and collapsing terrain. Its four Gu Immortals conceal the true cause: deep underground, Liu Feng is undergoing a dangerous transformation from a Nine-Life Body into a Gu Immortal.
• Liu Feng had secretly controlled the Seven Immortals Sect for more than a century, placing restrictions on the souls and bodies of its high-level cultivators. The four Gu Immortals have been waiting for his rebirth to reach its weakest point so they can summon outside help and escape his control.

• Lei Xiaolu: Having gained Liu Feng’s trust and a promised share of the immortal qi, she attempts to break through to the True Immortal realm. Her opportunity is interrupted when the enemy invasion begins.
• Fa Shi, Yu Xia, and Yu Ye: These former subordinates have grown significantly through Liu Feng’s aid. Yu Xia became a Gu Immortal, Yu Ye a Martial Immortal, and both received powerful immortal treasures. Their loyalty is demonstrated when they immediately confront the invaders.
• Patriarch Sha Yin: He is driven by both caution and greed. Although he recognizes the danger of Liu Feng, he is eager to seize the opportunity and uses the Nine Baleful Sect’s formation to suppress the defenders.
• Elder Ningxiang: As an injured First-Body Immortal, she is the most perceptive and decisive outsider. She understands that Liu Feng’s transformation is not ordinary and insists on an immediate joint assault before the commotion attracts stronger powers.

Significant Themes

• Opportunity and greed: The immortal qi and Liu Feng’s transformation represent a rare opportunity, causing rival sects to abandon caution and attack despite the risks.
• Betrayal and control: Liu Feng’s domination of the Seven Immortals Sect creates a relationship built on coercion. Once his restrictions weaken, the controlled Gu Immortals immediately betray him.
• Power concealed beneath appearances: Liu Feng appears to be merely a True Buddha undergoing rebirth, but the scale of his transformation, his unusual Exotic Gu, and the quality of his immortal qi reveal a far greater potential.
• Loyalty repaid through cultivation: Liu Feng’s former companions remain loyal because he remade their bodies, helped them become immortals, and granted them powerful treasures.
• Rising danger and competition: The disturbance attracts multiple factions, and the characters understand that delaying could draw the attention of even stronger sects or the quasi-sect-master-level Earth Yin Locust Mother.
• Transformation and ascension: The chapter centers on Liu Feng’s metamorphosis into a Gu Immortal, presenting cultivation breakthroughs as both opportunities for advancement and moments of extreme vulnerability.

Character Interactions

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Liu Feng’s rebirth reaches its climax inside a nine-colored cocoon, protected by layered void ripples, vortexes, and newly formed Void Insect bodies. Seventeen evil-path immortals—including the Baleful Yin Patriarch and Elder Ningxiang of the Yin Enfolding Palace—fail to break through his defenses.
• Elder Ningxiang decides to risk her already serious injuries by using her Dao art of Yin and Yang, reinforced by a divine wheel powered by the worship and life force of countless believers.
• Before her attack lands, a mysterious seven-colored strand of primordial immortal qi enters Liu Feng’s cocoon. Its ancient, chaotic aura suggests that it comes from beyond the Void Realm.
• Liu Feng finally emerges as a Gu Immortal. His Exotic Gu have all reached immortal grade, and his rebirth has transformed him into a powerful Metamorphic Gu Immortal. He possesses insect-like markings and wings briefly, along with extraordinarily potent void-based abilities.
• Liu Feng’s newly developed Void Insect Devouring technique overwhelms the attacking immortals. Fifteen True Immortals are imprisoned in void vortexes, while the Baleful Yin Patriarch is gravely wounded and barely escapes destruction.
• Liu Feng neutralizes Elder Ningxiang’s Dao art, confronts her at close range, and reveals that his body and souls remain unstable because his inner worlds and divine souls failed to merge completely. Nevertheless, he is already capable of killing a wounded early One-Body Immortal.
• He absorbs Ningxiang and the other captured immortals into his inner world, intending to use them to stabilize his chaotic yin-yang condition.
• Liu Feng also experiments on the four Gu Immortals of the Seven Immortals Sect. His tenth Exotic Gu allows him to refine their flesh and blood for nourishment, seize control of their bodies, and temporarily use their Gu arts as external weapons.
• After breaking through the great formation surrounding the area, Liu Feng escapes the Seven Immortals Sect’s territory. He plans to merge his three inner worlds and divine souls, then refine the Greater Yin Thunder Spirit into his divine soul.
• As he flees, the Earth Yin Mother Empress pursues him in the form of a tiny human-faced insect, offering him the promise of becoming a Gu Dao Second Body Immortal if he submits to her true body.

Character Developments

• Liu Feng completes his rebirth and ascends to the Gu Immortal realm. His transformation grants him vastly greater control over the Exotic Gu in his body, especially his void-based abilities.
• Though not yet a true One-Body Immortal, Liu Feng is now close to that level in combat and equals one in escape speed. His unstable cultivation reveals that his transformation is incomplete, leaving room for further growth.
• Elder Ningxiang is shown to be severely injured and desperate. She sacrifices her own condition to use her Dao art, but her confidence collapses when Liu Feng emerges stronger than expected. She is ultimately captured.
• Baleful Yin Patriarch realizes that Liu Feng is far beyond the power of ordinary faction immortals. His treasures are destroyed, his body is nearly torn apart, and he survives only by retreating.
• Zhuge Jun recognizes that Liu Feng’s void techniques are not merely inherited abilities but are being driven by the Exotic Gu within his body.
• Ouyang Shuiling becomes terrified after seeing Liu Feng capture and absorb the immortals. She believes he intends to use people as cultivation furnaces, while Yu Xia corrects her misunderstanding by explaining that Liu Feng can now refine bodies directly through Gu techniques.
• The four Seven Immortals Sect Gu Immortals, initially hoping to exploit Liu Feng’s vulnerable rebirth, are reduced to helpless test subjects.

Significant Themes

• Transformation and rebirth: Liu Feng’s emergence marks a major evolutionary step from True Buddha to Gu Immortal, but his new power comes with instability and incomplete integration.
• Power beyond conventional realms: The chapter emphasizes that Exotic Gu and void techniques can approach the strength of higher realms, though they cannot completely overcome the Great Dao-based gap between True Immortals and One-Body Immortals.
• Predation and cultivation: Immortals are treated as resources, furnaces, or tools. Liu Feng’s enemies seek to seize his opportunity, while he in turn consumes them to stabilize and strengthen himself.
• Risk and desperation: Ningxiang’s use of her Dao art despite severe injuries reflects the extreme lengths cultivators will go to obtain opportunities.
• Misunderstanding and reputation: Ouyang Shuiling’s fear of Liu Feng’s supposed “beastly” habits contrasts with the more technical reality of his methods, though his willingness to experiment on living immortals still confirms his ruthless nature.
• Incomplete ascension: Liu Feng’s power has increased dramatically, but the failure of his inner worlds and souls to merge shows that advancement brings unresolved dangers.

Character Interactions

• The attacking immortals cooperate against Liu Feng but gradually lose faith as his defenses withstand their combined assault.
• Elder Ningxiang and the Baleful Yin Patriarch urge one another to act, but both ultimately become victims of Liu Feng’s rebirth and counterattack.
• Zhuge Jun observes Liu Feng’s techniques and correctly identifies the role of the Exotic Gu, demonstrating his superior understanding of void methods.

• Ouyang Shuiling and Yu Xia discuss Liu Feng’s motives, revealing both fear of his reputation and differing interpretations of his cultivation methods.
• Liu Feng ignores Fa Shi and the others after rescuing them, gathering them into his Insect Hall and departing.
• The chapter ends with the Earth Yin Mother Empress pursuing Liu Feng and attempting to recruit him, setting up a potential confrontation or alliance.
