Chapter Summaries

Ye Wuchen searched the captured cultivator’s memories and formed a new team with Miaoyin Fairy, Shi Kai, and Li Mingquan to explore the Law Disorder Zone in exchange for top-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills. After they encountered strange crystalline creatures, he agreed to let them search separately and departed toward a distant flash of pure lightning aura.

• Ye Wuchen searched the brown-robed old cultivator’s Nascent Soul for information about Fallen Dragon Valley and used the map to identify the Law Disorder Zone.
• Ye Wuchen offered one top-grade Dao-Comprehension Pill for each Rule Treasure the others found, and Miaoyin Fairy, Shi Kai, and Li Mingquan signed Heavenly Demon Contracts to follow his plan.
• The four entered the Law Disorder Zone, where chaotic laws disrupted gravity and prevented flight.
• Li Mingquan disturbed a crystalline creature, and Shi Kai’s punch failed to harm it; Ye Wuchen tested it with Red Lotus Karmic Fire and led the team around the creatures.
• Miaoyin Fairy, Shi Kai, and Li Mingquan discussed splitting up, so Ye Wuchen proposed they search independently and meet him at the Alchemy Dao Alliance in Heavenly Craft City in one month.
• Ye Wuchen left alone after his Golden Eyes detected a flash of pure lightning aura dozens of li away.

After leaving Miaoyin Fairy and her companions, "Ye Wuchen" found a fifth-tier formation concealing a Purple-Gold Gourd growing from a lightning Rule Treasure. He used [Formless Demon Body] to slip inside the formation and stood poised to claim the treasure.

• "Ye Wuchen" replenished his magical power and used [Golden Eyes] to follow a lightning aura through Fallen Dragon Valley’s dangerous distortions.
• He discovered an invisible fifth-tier defensive formation around a valley and used [Golden Eyes] to glimpse a Purple-Gold Gourd growing from a Rule Treasure.
• "Ye Wuchen" disguised himself as a demonic cultivator and used [Formless Demon Body] to pass through the formation without triggering it.
• He reformed inside the valley and fixed his gaze on the lightning-attribute Rule Treasure.

"Ye Wuchen" stole the thunder origin stone beneath a Purple Firmament Thunder Gourd vine, then used his enhancement panel to accelerate the gourd’s growth until it became a dangerously powerful treasure. After he escaped, a Heavenly Forge Sect Daoist discovered the stone’s power had run dry and set out to ask the sect master for help.

• "Ye Wuchen" carefully freed the thunder origin stone from the gourd vine’s roots, sealed it in a jade box, and confirmed there were no other hidden treasures nearby.
• "Ye Wuchen" used five hundred-year-old spirit herbs to enhance the Purple Firmament Thunder Gourd, rapidly increasing its age until it detached from the vine at twelve thousand eight hundred years.
• The Purple-Gold Gourd’s lightning pierced "Ye Wuchen"’s Thousand Ghost Servants Scale-Guarding Shield and badly burned his right hand, but he healed himself and sealed the gourd away.
• "Ye Wuchen" left the withered vine untouched, erased the evidence, and escaped through the formation as the valley’s thunderclouds dispersed.
• A middle-aged Daoist at the Heavenly Forge Sect sensed that the thunder origin stone’s power had run dry and left to beg the sect master for another one.

"Ye Wuchen" used a teleportation formation to send the spoils from four Nascent Soul cultivators, including the Thunder Origin Stone and Purple Firmament Thunder Gourd, to Zhao Hao's main body before exploring deeper into Fallen Dragon Valley. As dragon pressure forced him to consider retreating, a terrifying roar erupted from the valley depths and sent his Nascent Soul into alarm.

• "Ye Wuchen" tested the teleportation formation with ordinary items, then sent the loot from four Nascent Soul cultivators to Zhao Hao's main body.
• After confirming the Thunder Origin Stone and Purple Firmament Thunder Gourd had arrived safely, "Ye Wuchen" rested, examined the incomplete map, and used Camouflage to explore deeper into Fallen Dragon Valley.
• A violet-and-gold-robed Daoist arrived at the devastated Space-Shattered Forest and cursed, wondering who had undergone a Spirit Transformation heavenly tribulation there.
• As "Ye Wuchen" traveled farther into Fallen Dragon Valley, chaotic laws, spatial fissures, and oppressive dragon might grew stronger until he could barely advance.
• When "Ye Wuchen" began to turn back, a primordial dragon roar sounded from the valley depths, terrifying him and triggering a frantic warning from his Nascent Soul.

“Ye Wuchen” fled Fallen Dragon Valley as a pangolin-like beast transformed into a lesser dragon and drew the Heavenly Forge Sect’s attention. Daoist Yin and the sect master found his treasured gourd vine withered, and the sect master realized its gourd had ripened and detached in under a hundred years.

• “Ye Wuchen” used his defensive abilities and Golden Roc movement technique to escape the dragon pressure, then teleported away from the Law Disorder Zone.
• Deep in Fallen Dragon Valley, a pangolin-like beast underwent a painful dragonification after surviving the effects of true dragon blood.
• Daoist Yin heard the dragon roar, alerted the Heavenly Forge Sect’s sect master, and watched him seize the newly transformed lesser dragon.
• Daoist Yin asked the sect master for more Thunder Spirit Crystals or Thunder Origin Stones because his Violet Firmament Thunder Gourd Vine had exhausted its previous supply.
• Daoist Yin and the sect master entered the valley and found the gourd vine withered; the sect master noticed its gourd had detached after ripening and questioned how long the vine had been planted.

Daoist Yin lost his gourd vine, but the Heavenly Forge Sect Master promised him a spirit treasure and used the discoveries at Fallen Dragon Valley to announce the sect’s rise to Body Integration status. As news of a suspected true dragon ruin drew cultivators across the Mysterious Yellow Realm, Ye Wuchen returned to his cave abode with three Rule Treasures and prepared to take out the Dao-Comprehension Pill.

• The Heavenly Forge Sect Master detected Nascent Soul aura near the stolen gourd vine and promised Daoist Yin compensation for his contribution to discovering the lesser dragon and true dragon blood.
• Daoist Yin persuaded the Sect Master to inscribe a spirit-linking treasure restriction on his promised spirit treasure, and they left the valley.

Ye Wuchen publicly demonstrated his alchemy by refining three batches of supreme-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills, then offered commissions through the Alchemy Dao Alliance in exchange for Rule Treasures. As he returned to his cave abode, Elder Li contacted him and asked to talk.

• Ye Wuchen displayed his fire-law flame and began refining Dao-Comprehension Pills from a wood Rule Treasure before the assembled cultivators.

• As Ye Wuchen reached his cave abode, Elder Li contacted him and asked for a conversation.

Ye Wuchen negotiated with Elder Li to refine Dao-Comprehension Pills for the Heavenly Forge Sect and record his fourth-tier alchemy methods. He accepted the sect’s terms in exchange for a chance to receive true dragon blood and was ordered to report to Pill Peak the next day.

• Ye Wuchen met Elder Li at Moonwatch Tower, where his fire law dissolved the elder’s probing pressure.
• Elder Li offered Ye Wuchen a twenty-eighty share of the pills, but Ye Wuchen demanded better terms and cited his Alchemy Dao Alliance commissions.
• Ye Wuchen tried to leave after rejecting Elder Li’s forty-percent offer, then held firm on a fifty-fifty split.

• Elder Li offered to petition for true dragon blood as an additional reward, and Ye Wuchen immediately accepted and signed a Heavenly Demon Contract.
• Elder Li gave Ye Wuchen a crimson token and told him to report to Pill Peak the next day.

Zhao Hao, posing as Ye Wuchen, joined Pill Peak and refined Dao-Comprehension Pills using the sect’s Rule Treasures at an extraordinary pace. After more than four months, Elder Li discovered that every Rule Treasure in the sect had run out and urgently ordered him to stop.

• After confirming Elder Li had left, Zhao Hao hid fifteen top-grade wood-attribute Dao-Comprehension Pills in a Storage Bag using the array disk.
• Using Elder Li’s token, Zhao Hao entered Heavenly Forge Sect and received an exclusive pill-refining hall from Ye Liangchen.

• Elder Li tried to obtain a fire-attribute Rule Treasure and discovered that every Rule Treasure in the sect was out of stock.
• Elder Li urgently contacted Zhao Hao, who was submitting newly refined metal-attribute pills, and shouted for him to stop refining.

The chapter ended with Elder Li seeking credit and hoping to replenish the peak’s supplies.

• Elder Li summoned Ye Wuchen over the depleted Rule Treasure stock, but Ye Wuchen decided he had completed his work and had already secured his pills and True Dragon Blood.
• Ye Wuchen activated his Camouflage Divine Ability, left Heavenly Forge Sect, and used an array plate to teleport away from an uninhabited mountain forest.
• Elder Li found Ye Wuchen’s pill-refining hall empty and realized he had fled, then decided to seek more Rule Treasures from the Sect Master.
• Elder Li gathered more than eight hundred jade bottles of top-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills and hurried to the main peak.
• Sect Master Duan Xiu received Elder Li, who announced that Pill Peak had overfulfilled the pill-refining task.

Duan Xiu discovered that Elder Li had produced nearly five thousand supreme-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills and rewarded Pill Peak with access to the sect treasury. Meanwhile, Zhao Hao reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage and began choosing rules to strengthen, leaving his attention on the Causality Rule.

• Elder Li presented Duan Xiu with more than eight hundred bottles of supreme-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills and Ye Wuchen's pill-refining insights.
• Elder Li persuaded Duan Xiu to use the surplus pills as rewards for disciples and secured a token to collect Rule Treasures for Pill Peak.
• Zhao Hao reviewed his new rule powers after reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage and selected six rules to cultivate further.
• Zhao Hao placed the Causality Rule into the system's main item slot.

Zhao Hao enhanced his Causality Rule by sacrificing five elemental rules, gaining the ability to trace the line connecting him to Ye Wuchen's clone. The clone learned that all Nascent Soul disciples had to take part in the Heavenly Forge Sect's Grand Examination in ten days and chose the combat assessment.

• Zhao Hao discovered that the Heaven-Earth Eight-Trigram Mirror diverted many causality lines away from him, then decided to strengthen his Causality Rule.
• Zhao Hao used the Metal, Wood, Earth, Ice, and Thunder Rules as materials to enhance his Causality Rule to proficiency, losing those five rules in the process.
• Zhao Hao traced the causality line to Ye Wuchen's clone and sensed Ye Wuchen meditating in a distant cave abode.
• Ye Wuchen received the Sect Master's order requiring all Nascent Soul disciples to choose either combat or artifact refining in the Grand Examination ten days later.
• Ye Wuchen ruled out artifact refining because he lacked practical skill and decided to enter the combat assessment instead.

While Zhao Hao refined pills in seclusion, his clone Ye Wuchen entered the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Tower to observe Nascent Soul custom battles and learned how brutally contestants fought when deaths were only projections. After deciding he needed a formidable opponent for a convincing narrow defeat, Ye Wuchen received notice that his match was next in room 9527.

• Zhao Hao remained in seclusion refining supreme-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills while Ye Wuchen finished meditating and entered the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Token.
• Ye Wuchen visited the crowded Nascent Soul custom-battle plaza and entered a lively spectator room.

• The goateed old man escaped his body and detonated it, killing his opponent before the referee restored the battlefield.
• Ye Wuchen decided he needed a powerful opponent for a dignified narrow defeat, then learned that his match was next in room 9527.

Ye Wuchen fought a Nascent Soul cultivator who transformed into a Titan Giant Ape and overwhelmed him with talismans and brute strength. Ye Wuchen defeated him with Fire Law, survived the giant ape’s self-destruction, and won the duel.

• Ye Wuchen faced a refined scholar who injected himself with a dark-red liquid and swallowed pills, then transformed into a thirty-zhang Titan Giant Ape.
• Ye Wuchen’s Greenwood Sword failed to pierce the giant ape’s hardened body, so he targeted its crotch and forced it to guard itself with its hands.
• The giant ape charged Ye Wuchen, who unleashed Earth-Li Origin Flame infused with Fire Law and engulfed its body.
• The giant ape escaped as a Nascent Soul and detonated its body, but Ye Wuchen blocked the blast with Thousand Ghost Servants Scale-Guarding Shield.
• Ye Wuchen’s fire dragon swallowed the fleeing Nascent Soul, and the referee declared him the winner while questioning whether he had also comprehended the Water Rule.

Ye Wuchen won his Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Tower match, revealing his mastery of both fire and water rules and drawing attention to his reputation as an alchemy master. The Heavenly Forge Sect rewarded him with a top-grade spirit treasure, which he planned to use to strengthen his Heaven-Earth Eight-Trigram Mirror.

• Ye Wuchen received the top-grade spirit treasure and realized it could strengthen his Heaven-Earth Eight-Trigram Mirror to the top-grade spirit treasure level.

Ye Wuchen used the Sect Master's gift to upgrade Zhao Hao's Heaven-Earth Eight-Trigram Mirror into a top-grade spirit treasure, which Zhao Hao then used to transfer his causal connections onto it. One crimson thread led Zhao Hao across realms to the Star Migration Grand Formation, where a powerful red-robed cultivator sensed his gaze.

• Ye Wuchen asked to leave the Nascent Soul Grand Examination so he could refine the Mystic Origin Mountain-Suppressing Pagoda, and the Spirit Transformation elder approved.

• Zhao Hao activated the mirror and transferred nearly all his causal threads onto it, but one crimson thread remained connected to him.
• Zhao Hao followed the crimson thread beyond the Mysterious Yellow Realm to the Star Migration Grand Formation and saw a red-robed cultivator turn toward him.

Zhao Hao struggled to escape the Li Fire Sect master’s causality-locking gaze and entered the Inner Landscape World through a void gateway. The sect master then sent a Void Refinement elder and ten Nascent Soul prodigies, including Xuan Su, toward the Mysterious Yellow Realm.

• The Li Fire Sect master’s gaze invaded Zhao Hao’s soul, nearly overwhelming his Soul-Devouring Jade before Zhao Hao empowered it with the Heart Demon Rule and broke eye contact.
• Zhao Hao replenished his dwindling spiritual power with fourth-rank Spirit Recovery Pills while the Heaven-Earth Eight-Trigram Mirror struggled to isolate their trembling causality thread.

• Half a day later, a Perfected Void Refinement elder led ten Li Fire Sect Nascent Soul prodigies, including Xuan Su, through an interworld teleportation formation.

After surviving the gaze of a powerful being, Zhao Hao returned from the Inner Landscape World and focused on strengthening his defenses. Meanwhile, Ye Wuchen went to Heavenly Craft City to buy treasures and learned that visitors from the Spirit World and Dragon Realm had arrived, putting the Heavenly Forge Sect in danger.

• Zhao Hao inspected his damaged [Soul-Devouring Jade] and decided to prioritize strengthening it and [Heart Demon Rule] against future soul attacks.

• Ye Wuchen heard that the Dragon Race and the East Sea Dragon Palace had searched Fallen Dragon Valley for the true dragon's blood and that the Dragon Race would pursue it, threatening the Heavenly Forge Sect.

Ye Wuchen sought magical treasures to restore the damaged Soul-Devouring Jade and secured a deal with the Alchemy Dao Alliance to exchange his share of supreme-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills for treasures. In the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Token, he confirmed that a Li Fire Sect cultivator practiced the Li Fire Imperial Spirit Canon and began forming a plan.

• Ye Wuchen found that Heavenly Craft City's trading houses had been stripped of magical treasures and their remaining stock was sharply overpriced.
• Ye Wuchen asked the Alchemy Dao Alliance to trade the five-sixths of his owed Dao-Comprehension Pills for magical treasures and spirit treasures, and Gu Yi agreed.

• Ye Wuchen watched a Li Fire Sect senior brother fight a demonically transformed Titan Giant Ape, refusing to use his fire law because he feared losing face.
• Ye Wuchen confirmed the senior brother practiced the Li Fire Imperial Spirit Canon, then left the spectator room with a plan forming.

Ye Wuchen delivered a huge stock of supreme-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills to the Alchemy Dao Alliance and arranged to trade them for magical artifacts and spirit treasures. Three days later, Xuan Su arrived in Heavenly Craft City to meet Master Ye, accompanied by the contemptuous Li Yang.

• Ye Wuchen handed Gu Yi over a thousand supreme-grade Dao-Comprehension Pills, claiming they came from his stockpile.
• Gu Yi gave Ye Wuchen the magical artifacts he had gathered and described plans to buy more and hold pill trade fairs.

• Xuan Su and Li Yang arrived in Heavenly Craft City, where Li Yang disparaged Master Ye while Xuan Su defended his alchemy skill.
• After hearing that Master Ye was delivering another batch of pills, Li Yang headed to the Alchemy Dao Alliance with Xuan Su to meet him.
