Chapter Summaries

The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies gathered essence to activate the Heaven-Earth Inversion Fate-Severing Spacetime Grand Array, intending to lure and trap the immortals. Li Qing uncovered their plan as the array’s power awakened, though the anomalies’ preparations and the immortals’ assault continued.

• The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies prepared to feed essence into the array and use an awakened being as a sacrifice to strengthen their trap for the immortals.
• The anomalies surged toward the Nine Provinces Four Regions, where the six immortals fought them off while searching for the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies.
• Across the Bright Side and Dark Side, anomalies dissolved on mysterious altars, and their essence converged into spheres gathered by the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies.
• Li Qing’s Shadow Paper Dolls detected the mass disappearance of anomalies, and he used the Record Book and Jade Tablet to learn that the Wisdom Logic Anomalies were sacrificing half of them to activate the array.
• Li Qing notified his Divine Body, which headed toward the Hundred Herbs Plain to investigate after the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies left.
• The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies poured the gathered power into the array, whose logic surpassed Underlying Logic, and the Longevity Realm said its creator had taken at least half the supplied essence.

Longevity and the other Wisdom Logic Anomalies activated a trap beneath the Hundred Herbs Plain, using stolen Heaven's aura to corrupt an ancient geomancer into a powerful anomaly. The corruption stirred Heaven's imprint within the Seals of Heaven, and Li Qing learned what had caused the disturbance.

• Longevity described the anomalies' plan to kill the Immortal Realm beings and use their Underlying Logic to create a Heavenly Dao and reincarnation, while Sky Ghost warned that they first had to survive.
• Dao Thief declared the formation complete, and Sky Ghost sent the stolen portion of Heaven's degraded aura into the coffin beneath the Hundred Herbs Plain.
• The aura transformed the sleeping geomancer into a purple-gold anomaly whose power approached that of an Immortal Realm being, but the formation contained him.
• The anomaly's corruption triggered a response in the nine Seals of Heaven, where Mosaic's phantom images appeared and pressed down on the power beneath the altars.
• Li Qing recorded the disturbance and learned that the corrupted geomancer had awakened a faint imprint Heaven had left in the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

Li Qing realized that Heaven’s corrupted aura was gathering its scattered imprint to create an avatar, threatening his plans and the Seal of Heaven. He consulted the Enemy of Heaven, then deciphered that its nine changing Mosaic forms and their durations encoded a message whose meaning remained unknown.

• Li Qing learned that Heaven’s aura was gathering traces of its imprint to turn its host into an avatar, and he considered how the avatar might threaten the Seal of Heaven.
• Li Qing used the Great Duplication Spell to send a duplicate into the Seal of Heaven and asked the Enemy of Heaven how to deal with Heaven’s avatar.
• The Enemy of Heaven responded through nine Mosaic patterns that changed in a repeating sequence, which Li Qing memorized.
• Li Qing recorded the nine patterns and their durations, concluding that their forms and rhythms encoded a message, possibly a spell to counter the Seal of Heaven’s descent.

Li Qing used the Jade Tablet to uncover the Enemy of Heaven’s purpose behind the nine-character Heaven-Seizing Curse. He realized that using it would erase Heaven’s remaining traces and let the Enemy of Heaven shape the Nine Provinces Four Regions into its own seal and ultimately devour the world, so he decided not to use it.

• The Jade Tablet revealed that the Enemy of Heaven’s nine-character Heaven-Seizing Curse could gather Heaven’s scattered imprints and seal them absolutely.
• Li Qing inferred that the Enemy of Heaven had used him to gather traces of Heaven and had deliberately given him Heaven’s aura.
• Li Qing wrote in the Record Book that the Enemy of Heaven had sought to gather Heaven’s lingering imprint for a final sealing, while his own attempt with Heaven’s aura had been an incidental opportunity.
• The Jade Tablet showed Li Qing that erasing Heaven’s traces would let the Enemy of Heaven’s traces fill the world and steer its future toward merging with the nine Seals of Heaven.
• Li Qing realized that the Enemy of Heaven would become the world’s will and use it to devour life and refine Heaven, so he resolved not to use the Heaven-Seizing Curse.

Li Qing realized how dangerous the Enemy of Heaven’s influence could be and used the Jade Tablet to confirm that Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven could no longer affect the Nine Provinces Four Regions. With surveillance weakened, he restored Sun Qiankun’s memories and warned him that hidden forces were steering the southern armies toward a battle at Hundred Herbs Plain.

• Li Qing concluded that Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven had exhausted and restrained each other, leaving them unable to influence the Nine Provinces Four Regions further.
• Li Qing sent a duplicate of his Future Body into Coiling Dragon City while the region’s powerful cultivators were away at military camps.
• The duplicate used the Great Nirvana Art to seal Sun Qiankun’s room and then restored his memories with the talisman paper.
• Sun Qiankun reported that Dao Soldiers were moving toward Hundred Herbs Plain despite the nearby armies of Li Qinglian and Pan Chengfeng.
• Li Qing explained that cult spies among the True Treasure Path’s subordinates were pushing the five Children of Destiny in the south toward a decisive battle, and revealed that they had a spy at the highest level.

Li Qing instructed Sun Qiankun to sacrifice Pan Chengfeng in the coming battle and infiltrate Li Qinglian’s service, while preserving the secret of their plan. In South Province, Li Qing discovered that the Hundred Herbs Plain concealed an unseen formation with 365 suspicious points and saw an earthworm vanish when it crossed one.

• Li Qing told Sun Qiankun to make Pan Chengfeng lose to Li Qinglian, then join Li Qinglian’s service and rise back into his inner circle.
• Li Qing explained that Sun Tzu and the Military School mattered more than Pan Chengfeng, and sealed Li Qing-related memories in Sun Qiankun’s mind against searches.
• After Li Qing’s Divine Body vanished, Sun Qiankun resolved to continue their plan and drafted a strategic treatise for Pan Chengfeng.
• In South Province, Li Qing surveyed the Hundred Herbs Plain and used the Way of Changes to identify 365 unusual points in its disrupted feng shui field.
• Li Qing sent an earthworm across one point, watched it disappear, and realized the plain concealed a trap.

Li Qing investigated the hidden space-time beneath Hundred Herbs Plain and discovered a province-wide feng shui array that was nurturing a powerful being. He also found that the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies had placed a formidable Conceptual Logic Prototype array inside it, and began recording what he could learn.

• Li Qing used his Divine Body and the Way of Changes to map the underground feng shui currents across South Province.
• He followed an earth vein into the hidden space-time and sensed an array gathering the province’s natural power to nurture a being.
• Li Qing probed the inner array with the Heavens Civilization Torrent, but its logic power shattered the torrent and blocked his awareness.
• He studied the patterns revealed by their collisions, mapped part of the array, and recorded his findings for the Jade Tablet.
• Li Qing concluded that the Mountain and River God-Nurturing Array was meant to nurture a god of the province, while the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies had established a second, immensely powerful array within it.

Li Qing studied the Heaven-Earth Inversion Fate-Severing Spacetime Grand Array and realized he could not enter or interfere with it by ordinary means. He identified its dependence on feng shui forces as a possible weakness and began using the Wish Spell to pursue a costly solution.

• Li Qing learned that the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies had spent vast vital essence to create an array that could summon a Spacetime Heavenly Dao toward the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• Li Qing examined both the Mountain and River God-Nurturing Array and the Heaven-Earth Inversion Fate-Severing Spacetime Grand Array, learning their workings from the Jade Tablet.
• Li Qing concluded he could not enter the sealed spacetime or set up another array inside it, and judged the Great Brahma Universal Cosmos Unification Curse too risky and unlikely to work.
• Li Qing reasoned that the isolated spacetime still relied on the surrounding terrain’s feng shui forces, revealing a possible weakness.
• Li Qing activated the Way of Changes and the Wish Spell while contemplating how to stop Heaven’s incarnation from appearing.

Li Qing used the Wish Spell to send the words “Heaven Seizure” through South Province’s geomantic current to the being infected by Heaven’s aura, and sensed Mosaic scrutinizing him through the Seal of Heaven. While Li Qing searched for a way to break into the sealed spacetime and kill an Immortal Realm cultivator, the Haoran Sage and other Immortal Realm cultivators detected an unusual fluctuation in the world’s origin.

• Li Qing poured power from his three bodies and the Tribulation-Avoiding Grotto-Heaven into the Wish Spell, which embedded the information “Heaven Seizure” in South Province’s geomantic current.
• The current carried the information into the Mountain and River God-Nurturing Array, where Heaven’s aura absorbed it, and a trace of Heaven’s imprint withdrew from the Hundred Herbs Plain.
• Mosaic appeared on the altar and scrutinized Li Qing’s three bodies, so Li Qing moved away from the Seal of Heaven and stayed ready to escape.
• Li Qing concluded that he needed the array to kill an Immortal Realm cultivator but could not enter the sealed spacetime or gather enough sacrifices for the Unified Great Curse.
• The Haoran Sage reported that the world’s origin and future had briefly shifted, and the Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord and Namo Nirvana Light-Dark Buddha confirmed sensing the disturbance.

Haoran Sage persuaded the immortals to stay in groups of three, while Li Qing devised a feng shui array to exploit the Mountain and River God-Nurturing Array and trap an immortal. He completed the hidden array beneath Hundred Herbs Plain and began collecting its power for the plan.

• Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord and the other immortals suspected Li Qing was plotting, and Haoran Sage warned them to travel in groups of at least three.
• Li Qing studied simulated futures and realized he could use feng shui power to redirect an immortal into a trap when the spacetime passage opened.
• Li Qing gathered rare thousand-year-old wood and carved 108 feng shui nails for his Thousand Mountains Myriad Waters Spacetime Shift array.
• Li Qing’s Myriad Shadow Paper Dolls planted the nails at earth-vein nodes beneath Hundred Herbs Plain, and his Divine Body connected them with feng shui ink.
• Li Qing buried an Acupoint-Pointing Stone at the array’s center and used his blood to make it collect and merge the feng shui power flowing through the Mountain and River God-Nurturing Array.

Li Qing prepared to hide his array and Divine Body near the Acupoint-Pointing Stone while Pan Chengfeng and the Children of Destiny set a trap on the Hundred Herbs Plain. The Wisdom Logic Anomalies began sending powerful avatars through spacetime rifts to contaminate the Nine Provinces Four Regions, and the Sky Ghost’s avatar entered West Province.

• Li Qing shrank his Divine Body and hid it inside the Acupoint-Pointing Stone, planning to use the Thousand Mountains Myriad Waters Spacetime Shift array when spacetime opened.
• Pan Chengfeng studied Sun Qiankun’s plan to lure the Southern Frontier demon army and the True Treasure Path’s forces into a decisive battle at the Hundred Herbs Plain.
• Li Qinglian, Pan Chengfeng, Li Fengxian, and Bai Wuxue met through a Mist, then moved their four armies toward the Hundred Herbs Plain.
• Xuanyuan Changlong prepared to join forces with the Confucian Sect against the Infinite Sect’s two Children of Destiny, while Zhu Yiba, Wang Qianqiu, and the Buddhist Sect’s Child of Destiny watched the western conflict.
• The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies agreed to send powerful avatars through spacetime rifts to spread contamination and draw the Immortal Realm figures’ attention.
• The Sky Ghost’s avatar entered West Province through a rift and spread its Underlying Logic, twisting causality and mutating living things.

The Sky Ghost's Underlying Logic contaminated a vast region, while the Haoran Sage and other Immortal Realm beings intervened against the spreading Anomalies. Li Qing watched the deception unfold as Yuan Zhihui sensed an approaching crisis, and the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven reached an immense eye containing a mysterious figure.

• The Sky Ghost's Underlying Logic transformed the land and people around the spatial rift, gathering the Anomalies into a domain around a monstrous man.
• The Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord warned that the Wisdom Logic Anomalies were creating sources of contamination to wipe out humanity, and the Haoran Sage and three Daoist Sect Immortal Realm beings sent projections to confront them.
• The Haoran Sage recognized the contamination as part of a smokescreen, while Li Qing watched the planned deception proceed through updates from the hidden spy Network.
• Yuan Zhihui used his Wisdom Sutra to analyze events across the Nine Provinces Four Regions and sensed that a hidden crisis was approaching.
• The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven approached an enormous eye in a cavern and encountered a mysterious figure whose presence filled him with awe and fear of death.

Nether River Yama Son of Heaven explained to the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master how Li Qing brought knowledge of the Investiture of Gods and a system for establishing Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to the Nine Provinces Four Regions. He revealed the plan’s requirements and left the Devil Master contemplating the universe-spanning order and its promise of ascension.

• Nether River Yama Son of Heaven feared that the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master's world was analyzing him, then humbly answered the Devil Master's summons.

• Yama Son of Heaven said Li Qing, an unknown outsider, had brought information about the Investiture of Gods, the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Court and Underworld, and universal reincarnation.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master recognized the proposal as a complete system for expanding and cultivating the universe, with Orthodox Gods growing alongside it.
• Yama Son of Heaven explained that the Six Paths Investiture of Gods plan required a Master of Heavenly Mandate, a new Ninth Immortal, and seven days and nights to establish Heavenly Dao Reincarnation in the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

The Yama Son of Heaven explained the Six Paths Investiture of Gods plan and recounted how Li Qing and another Fate-less One had thwarted the immortals’ schemes. The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord concluded that Li Qing’s mysterious treasure made him a dangerous equal and wondered whether even his own arrival had been anticipated.

• The Yama Son of Heaven described the plan to establish the Heavenly Court and Underworld through the Six Paths Investiture of Gods and create the Ninth Immortal.
• The Yama Son of Heaven explained how Li Qing’s covert actions had killed Demonic Path figures, disrupted their plans, and possibly influenced the six Immortal Realm cultivators’ attack on the Devil Lord.
• The Devil Lord sensed that Li Qing could bring him an immense opportunity and asked about the first Fate-less One.
• The Yama Son of Heaven recounted how the first Fate-less One had aided the Human Dao Dynasty, evaded the immortals’ traps, and disappeared after its defeat.
• The Devil Lord considered the powers of Li Qing’s treasure and resolved to treat Li Qing as an equal player.

The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master used every Anomaly as part of a vast calculation to simulate a perfected universe, but an unknown force shattered the vision and injured him. He concluded that Li Qing came from a universe governed by a complete Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and wondered whether Li Qing’s supreme treasure came from there.

• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master connected the world’s Anomalies and used them to calculate a model of the universe, leaving the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven terrified and unable to flee.
• In the simulation, Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld formed and ruled the universe as Anomalies became essence energy and low-dimensional worlds emerged.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master saw something approaching the expanding universe, but an unknown power destroyed his simulation and caused his eyes to bleed.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master realized that his simulation had provoked a Truth-like force that forbade peering into the universe’s perfected future, and he questioned what had happened during the Annihilation Era and the war against the indescribable.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master reasoned that Li Qing’s soul came from a universe with different soul rules and a complete Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, then suspected Li Qing’s supreme treasure originated there.

The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master theorized that Li Qing had brought a method of cosmic ascension from another universe and realized that establishing Heavenly Dao Reincarnation could let him advance through Dao Integration. He decided to pursue the method while targeting several treasures in the Nine Provinces Four Regions, then ordered the Yama Son of Heaven to recount its history.

• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master deduced that Li Qing might have been sent from another universe to deliver a method for raising the universe's dimension.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master considered using Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to advance his own logic through Dao Integration, despite the dangers posed by hidden spacetime Heavenly Daos.

• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master ordered the Yama Son of Heaven to recount everything he knew about the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• The Yama Son of Heaven shared memories spanning more than a hundred thousand years as the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master created a simulated world and examined its history.

• The Underworld Devil Lord followed the Nine Provinces Four Regions’ causality a hundred million years into the past and found a trace of higher-dimensional power.
• The Underworld Devil Lord concluded that the region might have descended from High-Dimensional Spacetime and that two hidden beings had fought there over a precious treasure.
• The Underworld Devil Lord decided to investigate further, interfere with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, and send more power to his avatar.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord sent power into the Nine Provinces Four Regions, where nine beams of Radiance rose and clashed with it.
• The six immortals and four Wisdom Logic Anomalies recognized the power as belonging to a higher-dimensional Concept Logic being and sensed the auras of Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven in the force opposing it.
• The immortals feared the arriving power but also coveted it, hoping to use the conflict to break through the Underlying Logic.

Li Qing learned that the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord had stirred the Seals of Heaven while searching the Nine Provinces Four Regions for a hidden treasure, and he watched the Devil Lord’s avatar as it recovered its strength. Fearing a direct descent by the Devil Lord, Li Qing ordered the Flesh Tree to spread the Indescribable across the High-Dimensional World and considered how to manage his limited identities.

• Li Qing used the Record Book and Jade Tablet to discover that the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord’s power projection had provoked the Seals of Heaven while searching for a treasure hidden in the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• Li Qing suspected that Heaven, the Enemy of Heaven, Xuanyuan Changlong, and other powerful figures had gathered in the region because of its secrets, but the Jade Tablet revealed no further information.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord remained hidden in Xuanyuan Changlong’s army, slowly absorbing power while avoiding a full transformation into an anomaly.
• Li Qing’s spies monitored the Devil Lord’s avatar, and Li Qing concluded that it was not preparing an immediate major move.
• Li Qing ordered the Flesh Tree to spread the Indescribable toward the Myriad Dao Immortal Domain near the Endless Cloud Sea, aiming to distract the High-Dimensional World’s powerful beings.
• Li Qing realized that he lacked enough identities and that his past, present, and future bodies needed to remain in the Nine Provinces Four Regions to divide the tribulation.
