• Shen Wanning: Revealed as the acting Hall Master and a successor of the ancient Immortal Hall.

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xu Yunji challenges Shen Wanning for control of the Primordial Immortal Hall, invoking an old rule established by a former Hall Master whose legacy he inherited.

Chapter Summary: Martial-Sealing Arena, Five Billion in Hand!

• Inside this arena, all cultivation is sealed, forcing Qin Luo and Shen Wanning into physical combat. Qin Luo spends 2 billion Villain Points to activate the arena and receives 5 billion Villain Points after defeating Shen Wanning.
• A black barrier blocks outside observers. Zhou Heling and Lu Lin mistakenly believe Shen Wanning has sealed the arena and fear that Qin Luo is about to lose.

Chapter Summary: “Ignorance Is Fearless—We’ve Struck It Rich”

• Xi Huang continues provoking the mysterious man trapped within the jade pendant. He threatens her and the others, warning that Shen Wanning is promised to the Young Master of Myriad Forms Mountain and declaring that their entire star domain could be destroyed.
• Xi Huang remains completely unimpressed because she knows nothing about Myriad Forms Mountain’s reputation. She mocks him with increasingly vulgar remarks until he can do nothing but rage helplessly.
• After dismissing his threats, Xi Huang sends the jade pendant deeper into the Human Emperor Banner, cutting off his view and leaving him trapped in darkness.
• The narrative shifts to Myriad Forms Mountain, a vast cosmic power surrounded by countless stars representing powerful experts. Its Young Master, who has been cultivating in seclusion for millions of years, senses that Shen Wanning has been taken and becomes furious.
• He decides not to interrupt his cultivation. In another hundred years, once he completes his breakthrough, he intends to personally confront Qin Luo and Xi Huang.
• The Young Master views Shen Wanning possessively and cruelly. He considers her “tainted” by her relationship with Qin Luo and says that, if she is not pregnant, he might still allow her to become a concubine and bear him a child.

• Qin Luo remains confident and powerful, but his greatest reaction in this chapter is one of surprise and excitement upon learning what Shen Wanning knows.
• Zhou Heling and the other disciples are reduced to passive observers, emphasizing their lack of control compared with Qin Luo’s group.

Significant Themes

• Ignorance as fearlessness: Xi Huang’s lack of knowledge about Myriad Forms Mountain prevents her from fearing its reputation, allowing her to challenge a supposedly overwhelming power.
• Power and delayed revenge: The Young Master’s decision to wait a hundred years highlights the long timescales of powerful cultivators and frames the coming conflict as inevitable.
• Possessiveness and misogyny: Shen Wanning is treated by the Young Master as a political and reproductive asset rather than an independent person.
• Information as power: Shen Wanning’s knowledge of the Primordial Immortal Hall may be more valuable than brute strength, giving Qin Luo’s side a major strategic advantage.
• Confidence versus reputation: Myriad Forms Mountain relies on its terrifying reputation, but that reputation means little to people isolated from the outside universe.

Important Character Interactions

• Xi Huang and the trapped man: Their exchange is the chapter’s central confrontation. He relies on threats and institutional power, while she responds with mockery and contempt.
