Chapter Summaries

Li Chenfeng and Medicine Elder used Heavenly Flame, Magical Beast blood, and a Magic Core to restore Fan Lao’s corpse and place Li Chenfeng’s soul clone inside it. After three days, the clone survived the process and was ready to impersonate Fan Lao, leaving Li Chenfeng to deal with Fan Lao’s son, Fan Ling.

• Li Chenfeng’s soul suffered a setback after the Myriad Worlds Gate’s intervention, and he gave Medicine Elder a strand of Soul Force for the clone.
• Medicine Elder refined Fan Lao’s corpse with Forest White Flame, Magical Beast blood, a Tier 6 Magic Core, and Li Chenfeng’s soul strand.

• Medicine Elder said the clone had reached peak Six-Star Dou Emperor strength and could impersonate Fan Lao if it learned his memories and combat style.
• Li Chenfeng said he had arranged matters and planned to deal with Fan Lao’s son, Fan Ling.

Fan Ling led the Blood Sect to ambush a Black Skull Tomb transport squad, unaware that Li Chenfeng had arranged the encounter to make them destroy each other. As Fan Ling began killing the Tomb’s fighters, Blood Dance watched from hiding, ready to let the scheme unfold.

• Fan Ling learned that a Black Skull Tomb squad carrying a rare High Profound Tier flying Dou Technique was nearby and ordered Elder Han and the Blood Guards to attack it.
• Blood Dance followed Fan Ling, revealing that Li Chenfeng had arranged the ambush to eliminate Fan Ling and provoke war between the Blood Sect and the Black Skull Tomb.
• Blood Dance reached the clearing and found the two factions already fighting, with the Blood Guards killing most of the Tomb’s disciples.
• Fan Ling shot down two Da Dou Shi with his Blood Erosion Arrow, piercing their Dou Qi Armor and throats.

Fan Ling’s Blood Sect forces defeated Mo Erhan and the Black Skull Tomb fighters, but failed to find the flying Dou Technique in Mo Erhan’s Storage Ring. Back at headquarters, Medicine Elder warned Li Chenfeng that restoring his Soul Force and reaching the Spiritual State would be necessary for the difficult pill he needed to refine.

• Fan Ling shot Mo Erhan, who triggered Bone Burst and badly injured Elder Han before dying.
• Fan Ling found Mo Erhan’s Storage Ring but discovered the flying Dou Technique was missing, so he ordered the Blood Guards to search the battlefield.
• A blood-red figure watched the Blood Sect search and remarked that Fan Ling had worked for nothing.
• At Blood Sect headquarters, Medicine Elder lectured Li Chenfeng about risking his life, then explained that his Soul Force had fallen and he would need Spiritual State to become an Eighth-Rank Alchemist.

Li Chenfeng reflected on Soul-Nurturing Dust and the limits of his cultivation before his scheme through the avatar “Fan Lao” sparked a war between the Blood Sect and Black Skull Tomb. He then returned to Black Seal City, where Yuan Yi had gathered three sets of ingredients for Li Chenfeng to attempt refining an Emperor’s Pill.

• Li Chenfeng recalled how Soul-Nurturing Dust could nourish the soul and lamented the Battle Qi Continent’s declining cultivation legacy.

• Yuan Yi gathered three sets of ingredients for Li Chenfeng to attempt refining an Emperor’s Pill, despite Li Chenfeng warning that his success rate was only thirty percent.

Li Chenfeng successfully refined an Emperor's Pill for Yuan Yi, drawing the attention of powerful figures across the Black-Corner Region. He then entered a world where gods and demons coexisted, arriving near Fahai and a young monk as they pursued the Spider Spirit.

• Li Chenfeng failed his first attempt at refining the Emperor's Pill but succeeded on his second try.
• Yuan Yi took the finished pill and left to cultivate, while news of Li Chenfeng's skill spread and Dou Emperors began heading toward Black Seal City.
• Li Chenfeng departed Black Seal City and used the Myriad Worlds Gate to enter another world in his original body, without receiving a new identity or memories.
• Li Chenfeng recognized an elderly Fahai and a young monk chasing after the Spider Spirit, and recalled the Spider Spirit's virtuous cultivation and Fahai's troubled path.

Fahai captured an old spider demon who had cultivated under Buddhist blessings, but Li Chenfeng intervened and challenged Fahai’s judgment. The chapter ended as Li Chenfeng released a powerful aura and Fahai prepared to confront him.

• Fahai pursued the old spider demon, used his kasaya and Great Golden Alms Bowl to capture him, and brought him to a demon-sealing pavilion.
• Li Chenfeng seized the alms bowl before Fahai could seal the spider demon beneath the pavilion.
• Fahai introduced himself as a monk from Golden Mountain Temple and demanded to know why Li Chenfeng had obstructed him.
• Li Chenfeng argued that the spider demon had cultivated orthodox Buddhist teachings and accused Fahai of losing Buddhism’s compassion.
• Fahai grew angry and threatened to suppress both Li Chenfeng and the spider demon, while Li Chenfeng released a vast aura.

Li Chenfeng defeated Fahai and showed him evidence that the old spider demon might have been wrongly captured, prompting Fahai to question his judgment. As Li Chenfeng sensed that this world might be a secondary universe, a storm struck, and Fahai realized he had been wrong.

• Li Chenfeng used his Green Lotus Core Flame to scatter Fahai’s fire dragon, then pierced Fahai’s kasaya with the Ask Heaven Spear Art.
• Li Chenfeng returned Fahai’s golden bowl and urged him to inspect the old spider demon, whose Buddhist light resisted the bowl’s refining power.
• Li Chenfeng showed Fahai the purple prayer beads, making Fahai wonder whether the spider had received the Buddha’s blessing and whether he had captured the wrong demon.
• Li Chenfeng concluded that the world might be a derived secondary universe, then unleashed a profound aura that brought on violent wind, rain, lightning, and thunder.
• Fahai snapped out of his daze, looked at the golden bowl and the still-pleading spider, and cried that everything had been wrong.

Li Chenfeng received prayer beads inscribed with the Heart Sutra from a spider demon and followed Fahai to the Purple Bamboo Forest, where he witnessed Fahai’s trial and the White Snake and Green Snake protecting a woman in labor. After sheltering the mother and child, Li Chenfeng gained insight from the sutra and decided to stay and teach it to the snakes.

• Li Chenfeng offered to recite the sutra for the White Snake and Green Snake if they wished to listen.

Li Chenfeng lived in the Purple Bamboo Forest with Madam Wu and Zhusheng, and his daily recitation of the Heart Sutra helped restore his Soul Force while purifying the two snakes listening nearby. After three years, the green and white snakes faced their transformation tribulation, and Li Chenfeng went out to see them.

• Li Chenfeng built bamboo houses, let Madam Wu and Zhusheng stay, and had Madam Wu manage the cooking and fire.
• Li Chenfeng recited the Heart Sutra repeatedly and found that it strengthened his Soul Power, while the white and green snakes listened from the bamboo.
• Over three years, the snakes shed their demonic aura and approached the ability to take human form.
• Li Chenfeng's Soul Force returned to the peak of the Mortal State, and dark clouds signaled the snakes' transformation tribulation.
• Li Chenfeng told Madam Wu and Zhusheng to stay inside, then left in the rain to see the snakes.

Green Snake and White Snake survived the Creation Heavenly Thunder and gained human forms, then discussed whether to pursue the true fruit while Li Chenfeng considered their future. The chapter ended with Li Chenfeng imagining gathering powerful companions from other worlds to help him establish himself in the Great Thousand World.

• Green Snake and White Snake transformed into humans under the Creation Heavenly Thunder and thanked Li Chenfeng for teaching them the Dao.
• Green Snake playfully clung to Li Chenfeng, who used his Heavenly Flames to scare her away, and White Snake urged her to behave sensibly.

• Li Chenfeng gave the sisters clothes and invited them home, then pondered where they could ascend since their world was incomplete.
• Li Chenfeng imagined gathering talented companions through the Myriad Worlds Gate so they could reach Battle Emperor strength and support him in the Great Thousand World.

Li Chenfeng discovered that intimacy with Xiaoqing could produce a strange energy that seemed to be spiritual energy, briefly bringing him to the brink of the Spiritual State. The energy vanished before he could break through, leaving him to suspect Xiaoqing’s fortune was responsible as he watched the Myriad Worlds Gate.

• Li Chenfeng considered how he might gather powerful experts and help create more Battle Emperors on the Battle Qi Continent.
• Xiaoqing teased Li Chenfeng after learning about seductive women serving men in a human-world brothel, and the two spent the night together.
• Li Chenfeng felt a strange gray current enter his body and soul, and he suspected it was spiritual energy.

• Li Chenfeng failed to reproduce the effect with Xiaoqing or another partner and concluded that Xiaoqing’s fortune had caused it.
• Li Chenfeng held two women and looked through the roof toward the enormous Myriad Worlds Gate spanning the universe.

Li Chenfeng learned that the Myriad Worlds Gate would soon take him from the world, though his Soul Force could not advance further. He prepared to leave after saying goodbye to Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Zhusheng, then vanished in rosy light.

• Li Chenfeng learned from the Myriad Worlds Gate that an outside force was affecting the world and that it would act in three months.
