Chapter Summaries

Jiang Feng discovered that the formations in the secret chambers drew their power from a sealed Mysterious Yang Demon Fire, which he took and began refining. He entered the third chamber and found a single surviving prisoner, who remembered he was a disciple of the Primal Gate and vowed revenge on the old nun who imprisoned him.

After studying a Nether-Connecting array and crossing nearly a hundred Spirit-Communion arrays, they reached their first Wondrous Mysterious array.

• Jiang Feng and Yun Chenghua arrived at the East Lin Sacred Capital, where Yun Chenghua explained the Nether-Connecting teleportation array and arranged permission to use it.

Jiang Feng and Yun Chenghua reached the Longpeace Sacred Realm and learned they would have to wait three thousand years to use its Profound Meaning-grade teleportation array. During the wait, Jiang Feng intervened when the You Clan’s young master’s Red-Horned Green-Hide Leopard rampaged through the capital, confident in his strength as he attacked it.

• Jiang Feng and Yun Chenghua traveled through more than ten Mysterious-grade teleportation arrays over nearly two years before arriving in the Longpeace Sacred Realm.

• Jiang Feng saw a Red-Horned Green-Hide Leopard rampaging through Longpeace Sacred Capital and killing Rootless Realm cultivators.
• A local resident told Jiang Feng that the beast belonged to You Manshan, the You Clan’s young master, who regularly let it slaughter people without interference.
• Jiang Feng ignored the resident’s warning, leaped from the inn, and attacked the Red-Horned Green-Hide Leopard with Scarlet Refinement.

Jiang Feng fought You Manshan’s Red-Horned Green-Hide Leopard in the Holy Capital, using hypnosis and powerful saber techniques to overcome its tough hide. After the leopard’s confused attack stopped, You Manshan sensed that his contract with it was beginning to loosen.

• Jiang Feng struck the Red-Horned Green-Hide Leopard with Scarlet Refinement, but its tough body remained unscathed before it blasted his right arm into a mist of blood.
• The Red-Horned Green-Hide Leopard swept its white beam across the city, destroying buildings and killing cultivators, while You Manshan watched and let it attack Jiang Feng.
• Jiang Feng hypnotized the leopard, then used Eight-Origin Heaven-Setting Slash to wound its back and knock it into the ruins below.
• The awakened leopard charged Jiang Feng and nearly sent him flying beyond the Holy Realm’s gravity, then attacked with a claw.
• Jiang Feng released soul power, stopping the leopard’s claw and leaving its eyes blank as You Manshan felt their contract begin to loosen.

Jiang Feng used Enslavement to take control of You Manshan’s Red-Horned Green-Hide Leopard, then fought You Manshan and three One-Origin Realm experts who attacked him. With Soul Suppression and his Violet-Gold Heart Armor, Jiang Feng withstood their assault despite his lower cultivation.

• Three thousand years later, You Manshan ordered the leopard to ravage the Longpeace Sacred Capital, but it attacked and severely wounded him instead.

• Jiang Feng and Yun Chenghua traveled through a profundity teleportation array to the Central Sacred Realm, where Jiang Feng noticed a composed little girl before she left.
• Jiang Feng helped the sickened Yun Chenghua out of the array and found the surrounding Central Sacred Realm barren, with countless cosmic beasts and no buildings in sight.

Jiang Feng joined Primal Gate as an outer disciple and strengthened his cultivation by studying methods and gathering cosmic materials. While collecting Ruoshui Essence in Skyreach Abyss, he discovered a Soul of Ruoshui in the darkness.

• Jiang Feng and Yun Chenghua crossed the dangerous Central Sacred Realm and traveled to the Northwest Region.

• Jiang Feng went alone to Skyreach Abyss to gather high-quality Ruoshui Essence below twenty million li.
• Jiang Feng noticed a faint white light and identified it as a Soul of Ruoshui.

Jiang Feng found and controlled a Ruoshui Soul, a rare ingredient needed to refine the Zhengyi Bone-Replacing Heavenly Pill for Yun Chenghua. When four Primal Gate outer disciples demanded he surrender it, Jiang Feng refused, and they threatened to take it by force.

• Jiang Feng recognized the Ruoshui Soul in the abyss and used Enslavement to bring it under his control.

• Wu Jin said the group would either exchange the Ruoshui Essences for the Ruoshui Soul or disregard their fellow-disciple bond and take it; Jiang Feng challenged their threat.

Jiang Feng defeated Wu Jin with a single strike and continued collecting Ruoshui Essence after Cen Shanhe and the others retreated. Unable to claim the Ruoshui Soul himself, Cen Shanhe decided to enlist Gong Xuehua to take it from Jiang Feng.

• Wu Jin attacked Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng shattered his axe strike and turned his body into bloody mist with one spear-like finger strike.
• Cen Shanhe realized Jiang Feng was far stronger than he was, and he and the others left after Wu Jin reconstructed his body.

• Cen Shanhe expected Gong Xuehua to seize the Ruoshui Soul and reward him for helping her obtain it.

Jiang Feng governed Xuanhuang City peacefully until Gong Xuehua, a notorious peak Two Poles Realm outer disciple, arrived and demanded to borrow his Ruoshui Soul. Jiang Feng realized Cen Shanhe and Wu Jin had likely sent her after their failed attempt to take it.

• Jiang Feng maintained Xuanhuang City through an incarnation, keeping taxes low and personally resolving trouble to preserve its peace.
• Gong Xuehua descended upon Xuanhuang City, frightening its residents with her fearsome reputation and powerful aura.
• Jiang Feng flew up to meet Gong Xuehua and asked why she had come.
• Gong Xuehua said she had come to borrow Jiang Feng's Ruoshui Soul, and he suspected Cen Shanhe and Wu Jin had enlisted her after failing to seize it.

Gong Xuehua attacked Jiang Feng after he refused to give her the Ruoshui Soul, and their first clash ended with Jiang Feng shattering her probing strike. Gong Xuehua then launched a stronger sword attack, which struck Jiang Feng just as violet-gold armor appeared around him.

• Jiang Feng refused to hand over the Ruoshui Soul, and Gong Xuehua attacked him.
• Gong Xuehua sent a skeletal hand through a blood cloud, but Jiang Feng’s palm strike shattered the hand and dispersed the cloud.
• Gong Xuehua acknowledged Jiang Feng’s strength and attacked again with a powerful crimson sword radiance.
• Jiang Feng stood still as the sword radiance reached him, and violet-gold armor appeared around his body.
• The sword radiance struck Jiang Feng’s armor, and violent shockwaves swallowed him in midair.

Jiang Feng blocked Gong Xuehua’s attacks without a scratch, even when her sword carried transcendent Law power, and revealed that his armor wielded the Heaven-Piercing Law. Gong Xuehua then used a magical mask to more than double her strength and raised a blood-red sword toward the cosmic void.

• Jiang Feng’s violet-gold armor absorbed Gong Xuehua’s full-force strike, leaving him unharmed as the shockwave devastated Xuanhuang City’s buildings.

• Gong Xuehua raised her sword toward the heavens, sending a blood-red sword light into the cosmic void.
