Chapter Summaries

Jiang Feng and Treasure Lord Yulong rushed to an auction after learning that a cosmic-lifeform-level innate fire spirit was for sale, a treasure that could greatly boost Jiang Feng’s cultivation and Creation Law. Treasure Lord Yulong vowed to help him obtain it, and the two shared a playful, affectionate moment before the auction began.

• Treasure Lord Yulong hurried Jiang Feng to the auction house after telling him that a ninth-level Rootless Realm innate fire spirit was for sale.
• Jiang Feng recognized the spirit’s potential to raise his cultivation and deepen his understanding of the supreme Creation Law.
• Jiang Feng and Treasure Lord Yulong tore through space to reach the auction house, where they heard that masters from across the East Lin Sacred Realm had gathered.
• After learning the spirit’s level, Treasure Lord Yulong promised to spend everything the Qin family had to help Jiang Feng buy it.
• Jiang Feng was moved by Treasure Lord Yulong’s support, and they exchanged teasing remarks about their feelings for each other.

Jiang Feng waited for the auction of the Innate Fire Spirit Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame, while Ning Wuque hoped to use the bidding to build ties between the Ning Family and a master’s descendant. Jiang Feng’s unexpected bid of three hundred thousand jin stunned the auction house, and Ning Wuque arranged to have Yu Feihong keep bidding at the Ning Family’s expense.

• Ning Wuque studied the auction guest list and considered using the event to strengthen the Ning Family’s ties to masters and investigate Jiang Feng’s background.
• The auction put the Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame up for sale after other treasures, and bidding rose to two hundred thousand jin of cosmic crystals.
• Yu Feihong, a descendant of Master Withered Wood, believed the flame would help him earn the title of master, while Jiang Feng watched the bidding.
• Jiang Feng bid three hundred thousand jin, prompting other bidders to condemn the price and refuse to raise their offers.
• Ning Wuque learned Jiang Feng had made the bid and told his staff to assure Yu Feihong that the Ning Family would pay for any higher bid.

Jiang Feng tried to win the Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame at auction, but Yu Feihong outbid him with the Ning Family’s backing. After the auction, Ning Wuque gave the flame to Yu Feihong and proposed a long-term alliance.

• Jiang Feng raised his bid for the Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame to 410,000 jin of cosmic crystals after another bidder offered 400,000.
• Yu Feihong bid 500,000 jin, using the Ning Family’s promise to cover the cost, and Jiang Feng gave up.
• The auctioneer sold the Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame to Yu Feihong for 500,000 jin of cosmic crystals.
• Jiang Feng and Treasure Lord Yulong left the auction disappointed and returned to Yulong Cottage.
• Ning Wuque gave Yu Feihong the flame and asked to build a lasting partnership with him and the Ning Family.

Jiang Feng intervened when Ning Wuque tried to seize a newly arrived couple with a Same-Heart Yin-Yang Body for artifact refinement. Ning Wuque ordered his four attendants to attack Jiang Feng, and the chapter ended as Jiang Feng faced their full-force assault.

• Yu Feihong supplied the Ning Family with pills and cosmic weapons, helping them reclaim market share from Yulong Cottage.
• Ning Wuque’s carriage knocked down Fan and Qin, and he ordered his attendants to capture them after discovering their Same-Heart Yin-Yang Body.
• Jiang Feng stopped the attendants from seizing the couple and urged Ning Wuque to let them go.
• Ning Wuque refused to back down and ordered his four eighth-level Rootless Realm attendants to attack Jiang Feng.
• Jiang Feng realized he could not neutralize their full-strength attacks with laws alone and braced for a head-on battle.

Jiang Feng tested his strength against Ning Wuque’s four eighth-level Rootless Realm attendants and held them off with the supreme Creation Law. He summoned eight avatars to overwhelm them, forcing Ning Wuque to retreat, while their conflict remained unresolved.

• Jiang Feng met the four attendants’ combined attack with Scarlet Refinement and matched them despite his lower cultivation.
• Jiang Feng’s supreme Creation Law neutralized most of their attack, and Ning Wuque deduced that Jiang Feng possessed the Fire Soul and had refined an innate fire spirit.

• Jiang Feng’s eight avatars suppressed the four attendants in less than ten breaths, though he could not kill them.
• Ning Wuque admitted defeat and left with his attendants, while Jiang Feng chose not to pursue them.

Ning Wuque learned that Jiang Feng was not a master's disciple and ordered a Two Poles Realm expert to kill him, while Yu Feihong coveted Jiang Feng's Fire Soul. The chapter left Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong confronting the Treasure Lord Yulong at Yulong Cottage, where their arrival threatened the shop.

• Ning Wuque told Yu Feihong that Jiang Feng possessed the Fire Soul and the Supreme Creation Law, and Yu Feihong resolved to seize the Fire Soul by killing him.
• Yu Feihong investigated Jiang Feng's background and found that none of the East Lin Sacred Realm's masters claimed him as a disciple.
• Ning Wuque grew furious at having been bluffed and summoned a Two Poles Realm expert to kill Jiang Feng, promising Yu Feihong the chance to refine him.
• Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong arrived at Yulong Cottage with the expert and eight attendants, and the Treasure Lord Yulong recognized the danger posed by the Two Poles Realm cultivator.

Jiang Feng faced Ning Wuque’s attempt to kill him, with Yu Feihong seeking to seize his Fire Soul. He chose to meet Golden Sword Scholar’s Two Poles Realm attack with his spear, Supreme Creation Law, and flames, leaving the clash unresolved.

• Treasure Lord Yulong warned Jiang Feng that Ning Wuque had arrived with Golden Sword Scholar, but Jiang Feng reassured her and flew out to confront them.
• Yu Feihong recognized Jiang Feng’s Fire Soul and accused him of pretending to be a grandmaster’s descendant, turning the crowd against him.
• Jiang Feng saw through Yu Feihong’s scheme to capture and refine him, and challenged Ning Wuque’s group to fight instead of talking.
• Ning Wuque ordered Golden Sword Scholar to attack, and the Two Poles Realm expert sent a streak of Yang Pole sword radiance at Jiang Feng.
• Jiang Feng summoned Scarlet Refinement and met the attack head-on with his flame power and Supreme Creation Law.

Jiang Feng survived the Golden Sword Scholar’s attack and used soul suppression to destabilize his opponent’s Two Poles Realm power. He drew the Golden Sword Scholar into his inner world, leaving Ning Wuque and the others stunned as Jiang Feng turned to a more urgent task.

• Jiang Feng’s spear radiance was shattered by the Golden Sword Scholar’s sword radiance, which obliterated Jiang Feng’s physical body before he re-formed from blood mist.
• The Golden Sword Scholar tried to seize Jiang Feng and the Treasure Lord Yulong, but Jiang Feng suppressed his soul and caused his condensed golden arm to disperse.

• The Golden Sword Scholar entered Jiang Feng’s inner world, where his yang polar power calmed after Jiang Feng released the soul suppression.
• Ning Wuque realized the Golden Sword Scholar had been defeated, while Jiang Feng left him inside the inner world and turned to something more important.

• Yu Feihong ordered his four subordinates to attack Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng drew them, Yu Feihong, and Ning Wuque into his inner world.

• Jiang Feng offered Golden Sword Scholar the choice to follow him or die, and Golden Sword Scholar agreed to follow him.
• Jiang Feng converted Golden Sword Scholar and killed Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong inside his inner world.

Jiang Feng reflected on why he had killed Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong, then refined the Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame he had taken from them. Ning Hanmo confronted him at Yulong Cottage, but realized Jiang Feng had little to fear and agreed to negotiate for his son’s release.

• Jiang Feng took Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong’s treasures and used accelerated time to refine the Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame.
• A servant told Ning Hanmo that Ning Wuque had been suppressed, and Ning Hanmo rushed to Yulong Cottage.
• Ning Hanmo demanded that Jiang Feng release Ning Wuque and Master Withered Wood, while Jiang Feng insisted that Ning Hanmo had come to beg.
• Ning Hanmo recognized that Jiang Feng could lose a physical body without being defeated and asked what conditions would secure Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong’s release.
• Jiang Feng told Ning Hanmo that he was finally begging properly.

Jiang Feng extorted forty million jin of cosmic crystals from Ning Hanmo in exchange for Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong, then revealed that he had returned their corpses. Ning Hanmo attacked him in fury, but Jiang Feng’s soul-suppression technique could not stop the Ninth Layer Two Poles Realm cultivator’s black giant hands from descending.

• Jiang Feng demanded forty million jin of cosmic crystals for Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong, and Ning Hanmo agreed to pay.
• Ning Hanmo handed Jiang Feng the crystals, which Jiang Feng stored inside the Crimson Flame Mysterious Tower.
• Jiang Feng threw Ning Wuque and Yu Feihong’s corpses to Ning Hanmo and explained that he had never promised to return them alive.
• Enraged, Ning Hanmo attacked Jiang Feng with black giant hands infused with Yin-polar power.
• Jiang Feng suppressed most of Ning Hanmo’s soul power, but Ning Hanmo still controlled his attack and the giant hands descended on Jiang Feng.

After Ning Hanmo destroyed one of Jiang Feng’s bodies, Jiang Feng appeared with another body and trapped the City Lord using soul techniques and his inner world. Ning Hanmo struggled against the pull as Jiang Feng continued to suppress him.

• Ning Hanmo annihilated Jiang Feng’s physical body, but found no treasures or cosmic crystals left behind.

• Jiang Feng entered seclusion and studied the Ning Family’s books and cultivation methods to deepen his foundations.
• Ning Hanmo gave Jiang Feng the Eight-Origin Heaven-Setting Slash, which Jiang Feng mastered but could not adapt to his spear.
• Treasure Lord Yulong asked to return to Bianliang City, but Jiang Feng refused because he expected Master Withered Wood to retaliate and possibly bring a One Origin Realm expert.
• Jiang Feng refined the Purple Cloud Black Armor Flame into the Violet-Gold Heart Flame and formed the Violet-Gold Heart Armor, which withstood Golden Sword Scholar’s full-powered strike.
• Jiang Feng studied Ning Hanmo’s notes and learned that breaking into the Two Poles Realm required difficult cultivation, comprehension, fusion of powers, and external materials.

Master Withered Wood used Living Incense refined from imprisoned cultivators to make powerful pills, then learned that Jiang Feng had destroyed Yu Feihong’s true body. He went to Bianliang City to confront Jiang Feng, but attacked City Lord Ning Hanmo before Ning could explain.

• Master Withered Wood collected Living Incense from captives he roasted in secret chambers and relied on it to refine pills that could help him break through to the One Origin Realm.
