Chapter Summaries

Zhao Hai learned that the Immortal Court used Earth Immortal cultivation to claim wilderness territory and discovered that the Ferocious Beast Alliance rivaled it in power. Preparing to attend Hundred-Creation Mountain’s Myriad Artifacts Conference, he trained his refining skills until he could forge a first-rank high-grade Immortal Artifact, then set out from Northern Garden Immortal City.

• Zhao Hai studied the Myriad-Insights Pavilion jade slip and learned how the Immortal Court sent Earth Immortals to clear wilderness for its own expansion.
• Zhao Hai discovered that the Ferocious Beast Alliance, Immortal Court, and Loose Immortal Alliance divided power in the Immortal Realm, and he noted Hundred-Creation Mountain’s prominence in artifact refinement.
• Zhao Hao restrained his aura in the Haotian World and synchronized information with his seventeen Mahayana avatars.
• Zhao Hao and his avatars practiced refining Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures, steadily improving their skills through the enhancement system.
• Zhao Hao forged a first-rank high-grade Immortal Artifact and left for the Myriad Artifacts Conference.

Zhao Hai arrived at Hundred-Creation Immortal City to enter the Myriad Artifacts Conference, where Master Huang arranged for sabotaged materials to be given to him. Zhao Hai overcame the trap, refined a supreme-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure, and passed the preliminary examination with a prestigious certification.

• A Divine Weapon Pavilion artifact refiner spotted Zhao Hai at the teleportation hall and secretly notified Master Huang.
• Master Huang learned Zhao Hai had come to the conference and arranged for the preliminary examination materials to be sabotaged.
• Zhao Hai detected yin baleful impurities in his materials and removed them with a precise hammering technique.
• Zhao Hai refined a supreme-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure from the purified materials, astonishing the examination stewards and the crowd.
• The examiner confirmed Zhao Hai's result and awarded him a Ninth-Tier Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact Smith certification token.
• Master Huang watched his scheme backfire as Zhao Hai calmly left without acknowledging him.

Zhao Hai uncovered Hundred-Creation Mountain’s attempt to recruit and pressure him after someone tampered with his preliminary-round materials, then advanced through the first round of the Myriad Artifacts Conference. As he prepared to leave, four outsiders—apparently members of the Loose Immortal Alliance—asked to speak with him in private.

• Master Huang realized he had misjudged Zhao Hai’s supreme-grade flying sword and left the plaza as rumors about Zhao Hai spread through Hundred-Creation Immortal City.
• Fang Ping offered Zhao Hai a deputy pavilion master position and promised fair treatment in the competition if he joined Hundred-Creation Mountain, but Zhao Hai declined to commit and entered his cave abode.
• Ten days later, Elder Xuan Chen announced the Main Competition’s first round, requiring contestants to refine an immortal sword within ten days.
• Zhao Hai noticed four True Immortals watching him and refined a First-Rank High-Grade Immortal Sword, earning a place among the top one hundred.
• After the round ended, the four outsiders approached Zhao Hai, and the woman leading them asked to speak in private.

Lan Shu and her companions recruited Zhao Hai into the Loose Immortal Alliance, explaining that it could protect him from the Immortal Court’s compulsory conscription and help him trade across the Immortal Realm. Zhao Hai accepted and received an anonymous alliance token with access to its missions, trading network, and chat.

• Lan Shu introduced herself and led Zhao Hai and her three companions to a private teahouse room.
• Lan Shu explained that Immortal Court registration subjected Zhao Hai to conscription for the World Battlefield every ten thousand years, while abandoning his token would make him an unregistered fugitive hunted by golden immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoys.
• Lan Shu warned Zhao Hai about the Immortal Court’s factions and offered the Loose Immortal Alliance’s protection, a ten-thousand-year exemption from compulsory conscription, and access to its network across the One Hundred and Eight Immortal Domains.
• Zhao Hai agreed to join the Loose Immortal Alliance without hesitation.
• Lan Shu gave Zhao Hai an anonymous bronze Identity Token, and he accessed the alliance’s interface for missions, trading, and chat.

Zhao Hai explored the Loose Immortal Alliance’s trading and chat sections, learned how the Myriad Artifacts Conference connected to the World Battlefield, and devised a way to earn contribution points. After three days of preparation, he began the second round of the conference, ready to refine a second-rank immortal artifact.

• Zhao Hai accepted Lan Shu’s bronze token, returned to his cave abode, and discovered the alliance’s task, trading, chat, and personal sections.
• Zhao Hai browsed the Trading Section, found an array of rare goods and rule treasures, and learned that the World Battlefield let the Immortal Realm plunder other worlds’ laws.
• Zhao Hai read a chat post about the Myriad Artifacts Conference, its artifact-refining rewards, and the Immortal Court’s compulsory World Battlefield recruitment.
• Zhao Hai spent three days consolidating his cultivation in his cave abode before leaving for the conference square.
• Ancestor Xuan Chen announced the second round: contestants had one month to refine an artifact from second-rank materials, and the top fifty would advance.
• Zhao Hai received his materials and decided that refining a second-rank immortal artifact could raise his artifact-refiner level.

Zhao Hai deliberately refined only a first-rank Immortal Artifact at the Myriad Artifacts Conference, then sold the inheritance reward and used the proceeds to prepare to upgrade his laws. After secretly turning nearly ten thousand evil Nascent Soul Cultivators into clones, he opened the Loose Immortal Alliance trading section and focused on Rule Treasures.

• Zhao Hai refined a first-rank supreme-grade immortal sword and was eliminated from the second round of the Myriad Artifacts Conference.
• Zhao Hai received the Second-Rank Immortal Artifact Refiner Inheritance and consigned it through the Loose Immortal Alliance for 4,750 contribution points.
• Zhao Hai entered Northern Garden Immortal City's outer city and captured nearly ten thousand evil Nascent Soul Cultivators with his illusion and devouring techniques.
• Zhao Hai used Plant Demon in the Dao Heart to convert the captives into a Nascent Soul Clone Army.
• Zhao Hai completed the inheritance sale and opened the trading section to shop for Rule Treasures and upgrade his laws.

Zhao Hao used perfected rules to create new laws, which the incomplete Chaos Law devoured and absorbed, transforming the Haotian World and sparking the emergence of life. As he chose to let life evolve without outside interference, the Chaos Law began drawing in his introductory-level rules.

• Zhao Hai spent four thousand contribution points buying inexpensive Rule Treasures from many categories through the Loose Immortal Token.
• Zhao Hao tried to enhance the incomplete Chaos Law directly, then successfully combined five perfected rules with the Sword Rule to create a Sword Law.
• The Chaos Law immediately devoured the Sword Law, so Zhao Hao began repeatedly combining sets of perfected rules to create new laws for it to absorb.
• After devouring seventy-eight laws, the Chaos Law expanded the Haotian World, and Zhao Hao's Primordial Chaos Myriad Spirits Formation contained the resulting spatial upheaval.
• Spiritual energy and creation force transformed the Haotian World, where primitive life began to emerge as Zhao Hao watched through the Heavenly Dao.
• Zhao Hao decided not to bring in life from outside, and the Chaos Law began absorbing the introductory-level rules within him.

Zhao Hao completed the Three Thousand Great Daos and transformed his incomplete Chaos Law into a first-tier law, perfecting the Haotian World’s origin. The world’s new pulse passed through its formation, drawing the attention of a Daoist in the Mysterious Yellow Realm as that realm neared the edge of the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Grand Formation.

• Zhao Hao directed more than three hundred Nascent Soul avatars to comprehend the missing rule attributes and feed them into his Chaos Law.
• Zhao Hao used the Heavenly Immortal Art and transformed into his Heavenly Demon True Form to withstand the torrents of Dao resonances.
• The Mahayana avatars poured their power into the Primordial Chaos Myriad Spirits Formation to contain the upheaval within the Star Domain.
• The final rule entered Zhao Hao’s Chaos Law, completing the Three Thousand Great Daos and changing the System Panel entry to [Chaos Law (First Tier 0/100)].
• The perfected Haotian World sent a pulse through the immortal formation and into the universe.
• A Daoist in the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Tower sensed Zhao Hao’s success, while the Mysterious Yellow Realm neared the boundary of the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Grand Formation.

Xuanchenzi used the Heaven-Patrolling Bell to trace Zhao Hao after his completion of the Chaos Law triggered the Immortal Court’s monitoring. Zhao Hao and the mysterious Daoist hid their worlds from the probe, but Zhao Hao realized a stronger threat was likely coming.

• Xuanchenzi detected the forbidden Heavenly Immortal Method with the Heaven-Patrolling Bell and sent a probe toward the lower realms.
• Zhao Hao sensed the probe and used the completed Chaos Law to blur the time, space, and causality around the Haotian World with the Primordial Chaos Myriad Spirits Formation.
• The mysterious Daoist concealed the Mysterious Yellow Realm behind an invisible barrier, causing it to vanish from the Heaven-Patrolling Bell’s sight.
• After losing track of the Mysterious Yellow Realm, the probe swept past Zhao Hao’s star domain without noticing it.
• Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief but warned that a greater storm was coming.

Wu Tian investigated the failed Heaven-Patrolling Bell lock and discovered that a missing envoy and strange laws in a displaced realm pointed to an invasion by the Thousand Buddhas Great World. He mobilized the Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Palace for a vast search, while Zhao Hao and the Mysterious Yellow Realm’s master remained unaware that the Buddha Realm had been blamed for the crisis.

• Xuanchenzi reported that the Heaven-Patrolling Bell had lost its target, and Wu Tian found that the earlier cleanup mission of Li Xuantong was still unresolved after ten thousand years.
• Wu Tian compared the Bell’s old and new coordinates, suspected the Heavenly Immortal Method had spread in the star domain, and sent two Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoys to investigate.
• Wang Che discovered that a displaced realm contained the Thousand Buddhas Great World’s Purification Law and Physical Body Law, then fled and reported the apparent invasion.
• Wu Tian ordered three thousand additional Heaven-Patrolling Envoys to search all three hundred and sixty-five major star domains for signs of invasion.
• The Heaven-Patrolling Immortal Palace shifted its focus from the forbidden-art incident, leaving Zhao Hao and the Mysterious Yellow Realm’s master unaware that blame had fallen on the Buddha Realm.

Wang Che and Zhao Wuji led 365 Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoys to confront a Buddha Realm secretly fortified by the Thousand Buddhas Great World. After Buddhist forces revealed thousands of converted cultivators and resisted the Envoys’ attacks, Zhao Wuji activated the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Grand Formation, forcing the realm’s Heavenly Dao power back inside its boundary wall.

• Wang Che used the Heaven-Patrolling Compass to summon 364 Star Shuttles, joining his own as 365 Heaven-Patrolling Envoys surrounded the Buddha Realm.
• Zhao Wuji ordered five Golden Immortals to attack the realm barrier, which they breached before its Buddhist power rapidly repaired it.
• More than ten thousand Buddhist Cultivators from the Spirit World's myriad races appeared, including over three thousand who had partly or fully transformed into true immortal bodies.
• The Buddha Realm's believers and monks combined incense and fire prayer power with its Heavenly Dao to create a golden defensive curtain that withstood another attack.
• Zhao Wuji directed the 365 Envoys to form the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Grand Formation, whose stellar chains dimmed the curtain and drove the realm's Heavenly Dao power inside the boundary wall.
• A True Immortal-level Buddhist Cultivator denounced the Envoys for disrupting the Buddhist Order's grand plan.

Zhao Wuji used the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Token to shatter the Buddha Realm’s Heavenly Dao, devastating the realm and severing its cultivators’ path to ascension. Zhao Hao learned of the attack and hid his clones, while the wounded Buddhist cultivators prepared to resist the Immortal Court.

• Zhao Wuji activated the Zhou Tian Star-Dipper Token and cleaved through the Buddha Realm’s boundary and Heavenly Dao source.
• The Buddha Realm began to collapse, its laws shattered and its Buddhist cultivators severely wounded.
• The Heavenly Wolf and Heavenly Fox Clones sensed the collapse and relayed the news to Zhao Hao.
• Zhao Hao realized the Buddha Realm had taken the attack meant for him and concealed his clones across the realms.
• The Dragon Race True Immortal urged the wounded cultivators to escape and charged toward the breach in the boundary wall.

Zhao Wuji’s Golden Immortal army crushed the Buddha Realm’s resistance, captured its cultivators and every living being, and began dragging the emptied world toward the Immortal Realm. Witnesses fled and spread word of the Immortal Court’s harvesting of lower realms, plunging the surrounding Star Domain into panic.

• Zhao Wuji ordered his Golden Immortals to attack at full strength, and their starlight chains subdued more than ten thousand Mahayana and True Immortal Buddhist cultivators.
• Mahayana ancestors from neighboring worlds witnessed the defeat and capture of the Buddha Realm’s cultivators.
• Zhao Wuji ordered the army to seize every remaining living being, and Wang Che reported that the collection was complete.
• Zhao Wuji ordered 365 Star Shuttles to form the Star Migration Grand Formation and tow the emptied Buddha Realm toward the Immortal Realm.
• The witnesses fled to their worlds and spread rumors that the Immortal Court was harvesting lower realms, causing panic across the Star Domain.

Zhao Hao concealed Haotian World and the surrounding planets from a Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy searching the Dead Star Domain. The envoy left without discovering the formation, but Zhao Hao resolved to expand its defenses after the inspections passed.

• Three hundred and sixty-five Star Shuttles towed the battered Buddha Realm away as the Immortal Court continued its sweeping investigation of the star domains.
• A Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy entered the Dead Star Domain and approached the planets protected by Zhao Hao's Primordial Chaos Myriad Spirits Formation.
• Zhao Hao concealed the formation's aura and prepared to use the system to absorb the envoy and his Star Shuttle if they crossed its boundary.
• The envoy halted outside the formation, scanned the dead planets with a Heaven-Patrolling Compass, and detected only lifeless rocks.
• The envoy departed, and Zhao Hao waited before dismissing the system panel and deciding to extend his defensive perimeter across more than ten thousand planets.
• Zhao Hai Clone sent Zhao Hao an unusual report from Hundred-Creation Immortal City.

Zhao Hai’s clone detected that the Immortal Court had tracked him and fled Southwind Immortal City, using [Chaos Law] and the enhancement system to sever the pursuit. He transformed into a Heavenly Demon and escaped toward the Savage Wilderness, while the pursuing Golden Immortal found his trail erased.

• Zhao Hai sensed a causality lock connecting him and his tokens to the Immortal Court, so he abandoned the teleportation line and vanished from Southwind Immortal City.
• In a secluded valley, Zhao Hai sacrificed the Immortal Court Identity Token and Loose Immortal Token in a failed enhancement, destroying both and weakening the tracking lock.
• Zhao Hai used [Chaos Law] to enhance [Camouflage], erased his presence, and unleashed the Heavenly Demon Essence Blood stored in his Dimensional Space.
• Zhao Hai transformed into a horned, beast-like young man with no remaining connection to the ascender Zhao Hai and fled toward the Savage Wilderness.
• A Mid-stage Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy arrived in a Star Shuttle and discovered that the Heaven-Patrolling Compass had lost Zhao Hai’s trail.

After the Immortal Court's investigation left the lower realm quiet, Zhao Hao shifted his attention to his Heavenly Demon Clone in the Immortal Realm. There, Zhao Hai watched two wolf-headed Loose Immortal Alliance cultivators wear down an Iron-Armored Dragon Beast, unnoticed by the fighters.

• The Golden Immortal Heaven-Patrolling Envoy lost the trail of Zhao Hai and left the wilderness, cursing that ferocious beasts would kill him.
• A month later, Zhao Hao found that the Heaven-Patrolling Envoys had investigated the Lesser Southern Continent World Cluster, frightening its inhabitants and prompting major worlds to close their teleportation arrays.
• Zhao Hao sent his primary consciousness to his Heavenly Demon Clone in the Immortal Realm.
• Two wolf-headed True Immortal cultivators trapped an Iron-Armored Dragon Beast in their Heavenly Gang Thunder Prison Formation and planned to claim its soul and sinews for Alliance contribution points.
• Zhao Hai hovered several thousand li from the battle, watching the two cultivators and the beast without being noticed.

Zhao Hai waited until the two Wolf Clan True Immortals and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast were exhausted, then used [Fleeting Life, Illusory Dream] to capture their minds. He planted demon seeds in all three, whose weakened origins still struggled against the invasion.

• Zhao Hai spent ten days observing the battle and checking that no other powerful beings were nearby.
• Zhao Hai enveloped the two Wolf Clan True Immortals and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast in [Fleeting Life, Illusory Dream], leaving them motionless while the illusion continued to simulate their fight.
• Zhao Hai entered the formation and used [Plant Demon in the Dao Heart] to send a demon seed into each captive.
• The wolves' True Immortal wills and the beast's bloodline instincts resisted the seeds as Zhao Hai watched, confident that their weakened state and his [Chaos Law] would overcome them.

Zhao Hai transformed Lang Kui, Lang Li, and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast into Demon Seed clones, then staged their escape so no observers would suspect what had happened. Their memories gave him access to the Loose Immortal Alliance and Ferocious Beast Alliance, and revealed that a treasure capable of helping a True Immortal reach the Golden Immortal Realm would soon appear in the Savage Wilderness Domain.

• Zhao Hai used the Demon Seeds to corrupt and assimilate the two wolf cultivators and the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast, turning them into his clones.
• Zhao Hai dispersed his illusion and concealed himself while the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast broke through the formation and fled, pursued by the two wolves.
• Lang Kui and Lang Li gave up the chase and returned toward an Immortal City after the beast escaped into the Savage Wilderness.
• Zhao Hai learned from the clones' memories that Lang Kui and Lang Li were native members of the Loose Immortal Alliance and that the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast belonged to the Ferocious Beast Alliance.
• The Iron-Armored Dragon Beast recalled alliance intelligence that a treasure capable of helping a True Immortal break through to the Golden Immortal Realm would soon appear in the Southern Source Immortal Domain's Savage Wilderness Domain.

Zhao Hai used the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast’s essence blood and the [Bloodline Reversion] divine ability to disguise himself as a late-stage True Immortal ferocious beast so he could enter the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine. En route, four Loose Immortal Alliance cultivators trapped him in a gorge and demanded that he submit to their control.

• Zhao Hai recalled the rules governing the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine and decided the Ferocious Beast Alliance’s first-come, first-served system would let him enter without revealing his identity.
• Zhao Hai absorbed the Iron-Armored Dragon Beast’s essence blood and transformed into a convincing thousand-zhang beast.
• Zhao Hai flew toward the mine and entered a gorge after traveling more than a hundred million li.
• Four Loose Immortal Alliance cultivators activated a formation that sealed the gorge around Zhao Hai.
• The cultivators, led by a late-stage True Immortal known as Brother Wang, ordered Zhao Hai to surrender his defenses and essence blood so they could enslave him and use him to gather Primordial Beginning Killing Intent.

Zhao Hai defeated and swallowed four Immortal Court infiltrators who ambushed him, then continued toward the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine. As he neared the mine, he sensed its overwhelming killing intent and three Golden Immortal experts watching over the region.

• Zhao Hai let a True Immortal Middle Stage cultivator’s sword strike his scales, revealing that his defenses were unbreakable.
• Zhao Hai swept his tail through the four attackers’ formation, gravely wounding the three True Immortal Middle Stage cultivators and forcing them out of their human forms.
• Zhao Hai used [Heavenly Hound Devours the Moon] strengthened by [Chaos Law] to swallow the fleeing Golden-Winged Great Roc, his three companions, and their formation flags.
• Five Loose Immortal Alliance True Immortals saw the ambush’s aftermath in a Heaven-Peering Mirror and fled rather than challenge Zhao Hai.
• Zhao Hai continued toward the Primordial Beginning Baleful Mine and sensed its killing intent, hundreds of True Immortal auras, and three Golden Immortal experts.
