Chapter Summaries

Ning Fengzhi explained that he was deliberately pushing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect toward a break with the Heaven Dou Empire, preparing an alternative path to contend for the continent if Qian Renxue did not earn his trust. As the sect rebuilt and Spirit Hall expanded its influence among smaller forces, Huan Yin and Yu Feng arrived to seek another path for the Single Attribute Four Great Clans.

• Ning Fengzhi told Dugu Bo and Gu Rong to endure the Heaven Dou Empire’s coming suppression while the sect remained neutral and waited to see whether Qian Renxue would seek cooperation.
• Ning Fengzhi reflected that he had wagered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on a plan to place Tianlin at the summit, while keeping Tianlin and Ning Rongrong safe through Tianlin’s god trial.
• Spirit Hall called for the conflict to end, and Tianlin used the lull to focus on cultivation and his plans for Ning Rongrong as Seven Treasure City was rebuilt.

Bai Chenxiang asked Tianlin and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to protect the Speed Clan from the Lower Four Sects and Spirit Hall’s pressure. After hearing how the clan’s other alliances had failed, Tianlin understood why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was their last hope, while Ma Hongjun also pleaded for help.

• Bai Chenxiang asked Tianlin and Rongrong to protect the Speed Clan and offered to persuade Bai He to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Yu Feng explained that Feng Tianlei and Feng Langdie had pressured Bai He to join their proposed speed-focused super sect, and Yang Wudi had driven them away.
• Bai Chenxiang said the Speed Clan refused because the Lower Four Sects had pledged themselves to Spirit Hall and feared the attackers would return with greater force.
• Bai Chenxiang explained that joining the Strength and Defense Clans was no longer possible because they had aligned with Tang San’s forces, prompting Yang Wudi to reject them.
• Bai Chenxiang pleaded with Tianlin for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s protection, and Ma Hongjun joined her appeal.

Tianlin, Ning Rongrong, and their companions departed for the Star Luo Empire to recruit the Speed Clan, protected by the newly ascended Dragon Duke and Snake Granny. During the journey, Tianlin taught Ning Rongrong a refined mental cultivation method called the Azure Spirit Saint Eyes.

• Chen Xin checked that Tianlin and Ning Rongrong had their talismans and engraved coordinates before they left Seven Treasure City.

• Tianlin named Ning Rongrong’s blue-eyed method the Azure Spirit Saint Eyes and told her to practice it daily.

Tianlin worked on weapons and plans to strengthen the Seven Treasure sect during the journey, then presented Bai Chenxiang with a pair of enchanted shortswords that could help the Speed Clan overcome its lack of offensive power. Bai Chenxiang recognized that the weapons could transform her clan into a formidable force, leaving Tianlin’s offer poised to persuade Senior Bai He to join the sect.

• Tianlin gave Bai Chenxiang a pair of Flying Waterfall Water Song shortswords and described their Armor Breaking and energy-gathering effects.
• Bai Chenxiang realized the swords could let the Speed Clan use its speed for deadly attacks and become stronger than ordinary Agility Attack System Soul Masters.

Bai Chenxiang tested the short swords Tianlin gave her and confirmed that they increased Soul Power gathering, speed, and armor-piercing power. The group reached the Star Luo border, while the wanted Three Perverted Swordsmen traveled toward the same destination, unaware that Tianlin intended to kill them if they crossed paths.

Bai He welcomed Tianlin and his companions, and Tianlin asked him to bring the Speed Clan into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Bai Chenxiang revealed weapons that might solve the clan’s lack of offensive power, but Bai He had yet to be convinced.

• Bai He invited the group into his home, where Ma Hongjun introduced himself and impressed Bai He and Yang Wudi with his cultivation.
• Tianlin asked Bai He to accept the Speed Clan into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Bai He admitted the sect seemed their best refuge but hesitated over a concern.
• Bai Chenxiang said the sect could also address the Speed Clan’s weak offense and showed Bai He two short swords Tianlin had given her.
• Bai Chenxiang explained that the swords’ Soul Injection and Spirit Guiding effects granted Qi Gathering and Armor Breaking, allowing her to threaten a Soul Emperor.

• Tianlin gave Bai He a Flying Waterfall Water Song sword and used Scarlet Cloud Fire Crystal as a target for its test.

• Tianlin offered Bai He the position of second-in-command of the sect's Swift Hall, and Bai He accepted for the Speed Clan.
• Bai He and Bai Chenxiang urged Yang Wudi to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but he refused to rely on a great sect or seek revenge against the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall.

• Tianlin attacked with Three Realms Extinction and Dark Gold Terrorclaw; Yang Wudi countered with his fifth soul skill, Break, and activated Spirit Avatar as the attacks clashed.

The next morning, Tianlin and the clans set out with a large group, leaving Ning Rongrong’s possible path to the Seagod’s trial unresolved.

• Tianlin told Ning Rongrong he hoped she could become a Level One God so they could bring more of their family with them, and she promised to work hard beside him.
• The Descendant of Nüwa revealed to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that the Holy Spirit Pearl held the Holy Emperor godhood and a companion Holy Empress godhood.

• Tianlin joined Ning Rongrong and the others for breakfast, where Ma Hongjun teased them and Tianlin persuaded Yang Wudi that drinking well was part of being the sect’s second-in-command.
• After breakfast, Tianlin and the others departed with more than six hundred members of the Breaking and Speed Clans.

Tuoba Xi led the Sacred Dragon, Wind Sword, and Sparrow Bee Sects to seize the Speed Clan, but found they had already left. Tianlin’s group was surrounded at the city gate, where Tuoba Xi dismissed Tianlin’s reputation and prepared to confront him.

• Tuoba Xi arrived at the Speed Clan’s compound with Feng Tianlei and Feng Langdie, only to learn that Bai He and Yang Wudi had relocated the clan.
• Feng Tianlei spotted warm breakfast dishes and urged Tuoba Xi to search for the fleeing group, whose trail a Sparrow Bee Sect disciple soon found from the air.

• Tuoba Xi sneered at Tianlin’s reputation and assured Feng Tianlei that he had nothing to fear with Tuoba Xi present.

• Tuoba Xi demanded that Bai He and Yang Wudi join his sect, but Bai He refused and Tianlin challenged Tuoba Xi’s authority.

• Tianlin threw Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye into the wilderness so they could fight without endangering the city’s civilians.

Jun Tianlin fought Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye, overpowering their spiritual attacks and sealing away some of their Soul Power. He then used the Holy Spirit Pearl’s Earth Shield to withstand their earth-element assault and protect Cloud River City.

• Tianlin used the Holy Spirit Pearl's Earth Shield to protect himself and Cloud River City, rendering the earth-element attacks harmless.

Tianlin defeated Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye through the Holy Spirit Pearl’s earth-attribute suppression, then accepted their surrender in exchange for the Sacred Dragon Sect’s growing network of allied sects. He bound both men with Asura Death Marks and ordered Tuoba Xi to withdraw his forces while continuing to gather sects for Spirit Hall.

• Tianlin used the Holy Spirit Pearl to immobilize Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye, and Tuoba Xi begged for his life by offering to betray Spirit Hall.
• Tuoba Xi told Tianlin that the Sacred Dragon Sect commanded nearly twenty allied sects and more than ten thousand soul masters, and Tianlin ordered him to keep expanding that force before surrendering at the right time.
• Tianlin placed Asura Death Marks on Tuoba Xi and Tuoba Ye, demonstrated their painful punishment, and promised they could be removed after they rendered great service.
• Tianlin ordered Tuoba Xi to withdraw his troops, and Tuoba Xi sent a signal that prompted the Wind Sword Sect and Sparrow Bee Sect to retreat.
• Tianlin decided to spare Feng Tianlei for now so Tuoba Xi could keep operating under Spirit Hall without exposing his allegiance.

After repelling the Sacred Dragon Sect and Wind Sword Sect, Tianlin split the group and led a smaller party toward Gengxin City to recruit master blacksmiths and obtain weapons for the Speed Clan. The party reached the city after several months of travel, ready to find lodging before pursuing their plans.
