History

Exile Prison and Yi Feng’s Arrival

Yi Feng reaches Shadow Island through random teleportation. A sand-covered stone tablet identifies it as the Immortal Realm Death Prison, a place for exiling hardened criminals. He initially seeks an alliance with the Red-clothed Woman, Jiang Zhi, and considers escaping across the surrounding black sea 560 562.

The island’s restrictions make it unexpectedly appealing to him: with other inhabitants unable to use magic power, he regards his martial arts as a decisive advantage. After finding the Heavenly Demon Body technique on a corpse, he begins imagining Shadow Island as a retirement retreat and personal backyard rather than merely a prison 567.

Yi Feng establishes a lush courtyard amid the desolation and encounters Gong Chen, a cultivator who has survived imprisonment there for countless years. By effortlessly killing the vultures attacking Gong Chen, Yi Feng earns his respect and declares his intention to treat the island as his backyard 573.

Recruitment and Settlement

Gong Chen initially recruits inhabitants above the Cycle Realm under Yi Feng’s orders. Yi Feng later relaxes the requirements, permitting people with lower cultivation to join so long as their character is not particularly heinous. Privately, he wants capable allies to rely on if the System ever betrays him 586 623.

Yi Feng also plans to raise vegetation coverage above ninety percent using System-provided seeds. His Martial Arts Hall disciples receive permission to leave on the first day of each month, although returning requires special circumstances 624.

As the prison population grows, Shadow Island’s reputation spreads among major factions. Rumors portray it either as a Heavenly Dao-backed force intended to replace the Heavenly Immortal Palace or as the domain of an awakened ancient expert. These explanations remain speculation 680.

By Yi Feng’s later return, the settlement has become a bustling town. Subsequent accounts describe construction sites, busy streets, and a city whose workers take pride in its continual development 799 1107 1291.

Long-Term Guardianship

Ancient cultivators visiting the island are astonished by its vehicles, powerful everyday tools, and inhabitants. Wu Tao offers them freedom and protection, while Xiong Fen and Xiong Zhong introduce them to the Great Dao of Involution 1413.

During years of darkness, the city continues operating normally through Fang Zaowu’s electrical artifacts and divine objects. Its crops and spiritual resources remain unaffected, allowing residents to maintain regular schedules despite the absence of a normal day–night cycle 1451.

Over a documented ten-thousand-year period, the Guard Brigade preserves the island’s stability while Yi Feng’s direct disciples are absent. Construction gradually reaches completion using Fang Zaowu’s remaining blueprints and guidance; some residents die in battle, while others reach the ends of their lifespans 1492.

Transformation into Shadow Pass

Following a prolonged alien siege, reinforcements from other stars join the defenders. The island’s leaders open authorized portions of its Scripture Repository and distribute divine weapons to strengthen the allied forces 1500 1501 1503 1504.

Over the next two years, elite disciples arrive to study the Great Dao, factions share secret techniques, and forging methods are combined with array formations. A wall ten thousand feet high is erected around the entire island. Renamed Shadow Pass, the settlement becomes a defensive stronghold renowned across the heavens and stars 1504.

Crimson Moon Supreme later appears above the island, receiving the invading aliens’ homage and placing the defenders in another grave crisis. A later scene shows Yi Feng sharing wine and delicacies beside an artificial lake while elderly residents dance nearby; the supplied account does not detail the intervening resolution 1526 1554.

Geography and Environment

• Original landscape: Windblown sand, severe sandstorms, exposed rocks, and dangerous wildlife characterize the prison-era island 560 568 573 586.
• Black Sea: A vast, ink-black body of water borders the island. Yi Feng catches and eats its fish, but a subordinate of Jiang Zhi is reduced to a skeleton when attempting the same activity 562 564.
• Mo Ba: According to ancient texts recalled by Jiang Zhi, a giant demon sleeps beneath the Black Sea. It resembles a python with four wings and six legs and can swallow the sky and cover the sun upon awakening 568.
• Magic restrictions: The island prevents inhabitants from using magic power, a condition Yi Feng considers advantageous for his own survival 567.
• Escape taboos: After repeated failed escape attempts, Gong Chen suspects the island is a small world attached to the Immortal Realm and that escape requires breaking through its realm boundary. This is explicitly his speculation, not a confirmed description 573.
• Altered spatial conditions: A mysterious power changes the island and surrounding waters, strengthening space and altering gravity. A Profound Immortal reports being unable to fly, comparing the conditions to a much higher-level plane 462.
• Later landscape: The developed island includes an artificial lake, flowering plants, birds, and landscaped areas outside the city 1554.

Governance and Community

Leadership and Organization

• Ultimate authority: Lu Dasheng identifies Yi Feng and his hundred disciples as Shadow Island’s true masters. He describes the powerful elders administering it as merely “odd-jobbers” 1503.
• Cultivation opportunities: According to Lu Dasheng, the elders’ strength comes from opportunities bestowed by Yi Feng rather than from their status as independent rulers 1503.
• Departmental administration: High-level executives hold regular operational meetings, while regional guard detachments coordinate security through communications equipment 1451.
• Reporting hierarchy: Missing personnel are reported upward through successive levels. The disappearance of a work team eventually reaches Xiao Zhan, the disciple overseeing transport of demonic beast corpses 1114 1115.
• Brigades: The settlement maintains security and guard units alongside specialized groups such as the Dung-Carrying Brigade, whose members are treated as prestigious elites 1108 1452 1492.

Membership and Loyalty

• New arrivals: Xiong Fen and Xiong Zhong are permitted to bring reliable friends to the island after receiving an outside assignment 1109.
• Workers as family: Xiao Zhan states that anyone who works and contributes to Shadow Island belongs to its family and must be protected 1115.
• Sense of belonging: Xiong Fen and Xiong Zhong come to regard the construction site as their true home, valuing its opportunities and community more than their former lives 1078.
• Competitive cultivation: The Xiong father and son’s enthusiasm prompts other laborers to work harder; they later teach visiting seniors the Great Dao of Involution 1050 1413.
• Civilian participation: During the siege, volunteers include shopkeepers, elderly residents, women, and children, not only the formal defense brigades 1496.

Defenses and Major Attacks

Defensive Systems

• City Forbidden Great Array: A top-tier defensive formation personally established by Fang Zaowu. After the disciples’ departure, it becomes the island’s strongest emergency defense 1494.
• Barrier limitations: Invaders obstruct the array with their bodies and leave a rift. Its restrictions are so complex that repairs cannot fully solve the problem under continuous attack 1494 1498.
• Repair operations: Lu Qingshan channels Ancient Desolate Power into the damaged barrier while volunteers physically hold back the attackers 1497.
• Guard rotations: Units defend the gap in three-hour shifts to recover their strength between deployments 1495.
• Shadow Pass wall: The later ten-thousand-foot wall combines shared techniques, forging methods, and formations to defend against the gate outside the island 1504.

Attack Timeline

Event	Outcome
Night infiltration	Yi Feng’s disciples suppress coordinated surprise attacks in less than half an hour, but their exhaustion and Su Yunyun’s concern reveal the attackers’ unusual strength 1432.
Blue-moon gate assault	A space-time gate appears beneath a blue moon shadow and releases countless black figures. The brigades defend the city through a costly battle at a highway interchange 1451 1452.
Discovery of unusual blood	Corpses bleed black and blue. Defenders identify the attackers as non-human and note their repeated self-detonation tactics 1452.
Colossal gate appearance	A giant, dark-centered gate remains motionless above the island for months under departmental surveillance, then releases a torrent of invaders 1493.
Sustained barrier siege	Endless enemies attack the defensive rift. Repairs cost numerous lives, and the gap is breached again within days 1494 1495 1496 1497.
Appeal for outside help	Lu Qingshan proposes sending more than a thousand talisman clones through the encirclement. Meanwhile, repeated repairs over ten days severely deplete the defenders 1498 1499.
Arrival of reinforcements	Cultivators from other human planets enter through openings made by Lu Qingshan. Their combined efforts temporarily seal the rift 1500 1501.
Formation of a lasting alliance	Lu Dasheng suspects that the missing alien forces from the entire star system have concentrated above Shadow Island. Visiting experts agree to remain and defend it 1502.
Crimson Moon Supreme’s arrival	The aliens halt their attacks and kneel to the newcomer, whose overwhelming aura leaves defenders and reinforcements fearing annihilation 1526.
