Chapter Summaries

Ning Zhewang gave Su Yuan a square item that could raise his Blood Qi through a virtual space, and Su Yuan activated it to begin a series of challenges. After breaking the first-round record and receiving an Astral Power reward, he continued into the second round, where he was trapped in place as a wave rushed toward him.

• Ning Zhewang gave Su Yuan the square item and explained that it could increase Blood Qi by generating a virtual space.

• Su Yuan continued to the second round, where he found himself unable to move as a wave surged toward him.

Su Yuan passed the second virtual-space challenge, broke the Wisdom Valley Star Earth Ranking record, and gained a huge increase in Blood Qi. On Wisdom Valley Star, powerful figures began searching for the mysterious Source Saint, while an old man recognized him as the young man who had traded for Hui Valley Squares.

• Su Yuan endured the increasingly powerful waves through the twelfth wave, passed the second-round challenge, and received three strands of Astral Energy-tier Astral Power for breaking the Earth Ranking record.
• Su Yuan's Blood Qi rose by thirty thousand, and he wondered how much the third-round challenge might increase it.
• On Wisdom Valley Star, Source Saint appeared in first place on the Hui Valley Human Ranking and Earth Ranking, prompting powerful figures to search for his identity.
• An old man near the Sky-Piercing Steles recalled trading three Hui Valley Squares to a young man for his breathing method.
• The old man began circulating the Astral Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Method he had obtained from that trade.

Su Yuan endured the third virtual-space challenge, raised his Blood Qi to 317,180.8, and claimed first place on all three Wisdom Valley Star rankings. As the star’s powerful factions wondered who Source Saint was, an old man decided to use the Astral Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Method to track down the young man he had met decades earlier.

• An old man recognized the Astral Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Method and wondered whether the young man he had once traded with had passed the remaining Hui Valley Square pieces to Source Saint.
• Su Yuan was frozen in the third challenge, endured the bone-deep cold for more than seven hours, and watched his Blood Qi rise rapidly before losing consciousness.
• Su Yuan passed the challenge, received a strand of Stellar-tier Astral Power, and returned with 317,180.8 Blood Qi—more than 310,000 and nearly 100,000 higher than before.
• Powerful figures on Wisdom Valley Star saw Source Saint ranked first on the Human, Earth, and Heaven Rankings and speculated that the star’s fortunes might change.
• The old man decided to follow the faint trace of the young man’s aura in the breathing method and try to find him.

After his Blood Qi surge let him wield the Shenluo Spear at full power, Su Yuan tried to finish Break Three Form but stalled at 99 percent. He followed Zhao Xuzhen to comprehend the Martial Saint Wall again, where he began to unleash a new, powerful spear light.

• Su Yuan reinforced Stellar Space, tested the Shenluo Spear, and confirmed he could unleash Extreme One Form and Emperor Two Form with little strain.
• After Break Three Form stalled at 99 percent, Su Yuan sensed a faint call toward Ningxiang Martial Academy, the Qin Family, and the Capital Province Martial Arts Association, but the feeling quickly faded.

Thirty days later, he was still cultivating in Stellar Space while Zhao Feiguang and other Xia Nation martial artists also prepared for the coming war against the Hunyuan Clan.

• Su Yuan perfected Break Three Form, whose second acceleration made it powerful but difficult to control, then began developing Divine Four Form.
• After three days with the Martial Saint Wall, Su Yuan had advanced Divine Four Form by only 0.1% and decided to focus on Emperor Two Form while improving his proficiency with Break Three Form.
• Su Yuan thanked Zhao Xuzhen for access to the Martial Saint Wall, then returned to his dormitory and entered seclusion until he reached the Tenth Realm.
• Zhao Feiguang entered seclusion at the Zhao Family, while Xia Nation martial artists increased their cultivation in preparation for war against the Hunyuan Clan.
• Thirty days later, on July 19 at 2:00 a.m., Su Yuan continued cultivating in Stellar Space, drawing on its stars with Star-Abyss-Tier Astral Power.

After thirty days of cultivation, Su Yuan became an Early-Stage Tenth-Realm Martial Artist and felt a powerful guidance drawing him toward Ningxiang Martial Academy. He discovered the source was the entrance to the First Secret Realm, and Ning Shen prepared to enter it with him and meet the being that had guided them.

• Su Yuan completed a month of cultivation, reached the Tenth Realm, and inspected the progress of his Astral Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Method.

The chapter left Su Yuan facing three deep-blue spheres of light that the Secret Realm Spirit had produced.

• Ning Shen told Su Yuan that Hui Valley Square had raised his Blood Qi Value by nearly a hundred thousand and led him into the First Secret Realm.
• Su Yuan found that the realm’s plants could not be taken without the Secret Realm Spirit’s approval, then Ning Shen and Su Yuan were transported beneath a towering tree bearing a green fruit.
• The Secret Realm Spirit greeted Ning Shen, praised his Peak Star-Suppressing Realm, and urged him to deal with the Astral Beast and leave Blue Star.

• The Secret Realm Spirit produced three deep-blue spheres of light before Su Yuan.

Su Yuan entered the Secret Realm Spirit’s trial for a Super-Large Teleportation Array that could carry him between Hongyuan Star and Wisdom Valley Star. After making thirty choices, he had faced seventeen wrong-path projections and continued onward.

• The Secret Realm Spirit revealed the Super-Large Teleportation Array and said Su Yuan could earn it by passing a trial.
• Su Yuan entered the trial grounds, where the Secret Realm Spirit explained he had to make one hundred path choices and defeat projections whenever he chose incorrectly.

• Su Yuan chose left at every fork and, after thirty choices, had made seventeen wrong turns and faced projections approaching the Tenth Realm, Middle Tier.
• Ning Shen watched Su Yuan’s progress and recalled that he had made forty-six wrong choices in his own trial, while the Secret Realm Spirit explained that trial difficulty reflected each participant’s Astral Power potential.

Su Yuan advanced through the Secret Realm trial, defeating increasingly powerful projections as Ning Shen and the Secret Realm Spirit watched. At the final fork, he faced a Stellar Realm Mid-Stage projection whose defenses resisted his attacks, and the battle remained unresolved.

• Su Yuan defeated a Tenth Realm, High Tier projection with one spear strike as Ning Shen and the Secret Realm Spirit discussed his exceptional talent and Blue Star's rising number of powerful geniuses.

• Su Yuan made the correct choices at forks ninety-six through ninety-nine and reached the final fork, where he faced a Stellar Realm Mid-Stage projection.
• Su Yuan used all thirteen Laws Forces and briefly halted the projection with Perfected Time Laws, but his spear attacks could not break its Astral Power Barrier, while the projection also failed to harm him.

• Su Yuan considered traveling to Wisdom Valley Star, and Ning Shen said he had stayed in Xia Nation for hundreds of years to keep Yuan from attacking it.
• Ning Shen revealed that Yuan wanted a Hunyuan Crystal, a treasure possessed only by a true Pure Hunyuan Beast.

Ning Shen explained the origins and restrictions of Yuan’s offspring, then revealed that Yuan’s Hunyuan Crystal had been sealed inside its body for centuries. He also recounted his visits to Wisdom Valley Star to help Zhe Wang and began explaining the starry-sky realms, leaving Su Yuan with questions about who sealed Yuan’s crystal.

• Ning Shen explained that only Yuan possessed a Hunyuan Crystal among Blue Star’s Hunyuan Beasts, and that the Secret Realm Spirit restricted Yuan’s offspring from leaving the Secret Realm.
• Ning Shen told Su Yuan that Yuan’s Hunyuan Crystal was sealed inside its body, and recalled how it had briefly appeared as a gray stone when Yuan landed in his family’s courtyard.

• Ning Shen explained that Yuan had reached the limit of its growth on Blue Star and said he was confident he could capture it once the Hunyuan Clan made its next move.

• Ning Shen told Su Yuan to meet Zhe Wang at Battlepeak University to learn the method and travel to Wisdom Valley Star with him.

Su Yuan learned that the Teleportation Array Disk could carry more people as its user advanced in realm, then met Ning Zhewang to learn the Soul Illumination Method. Ning Zhewang taught him its two layers and warned that it simulated Blood Qi only, leaving Su Yuan to master the method before traveling to Wisdom Valley Star.

• Ning Zhewang warned Su Yuan that the Soul Illumination Method could simulate Blood Qi Value but not the other abilities gained from advancing realms.

Su Yuan fused the Advanced Astral Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Method in seconds, gaining Star Spear and a major increase in his cultivation speed. Ning Shen explained starry-sky martial technique and faction classifications and prepared Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang for their journey to Wisdom Valley Star with Star Coins and instructions to register their terminal devices.

• Ning Shen guided Su Yuan through fusing the advanced breathing method, and Su Yuan completed the process in just over ten seconds.

• Xu Zhan introduced himself to Ning Shen and offered to kill the Astral Beast, but Ning Shen declined and refused to trade away his core breathing method.

• The Secret Realm Spirit agreed to disclose Su Yuan's destination if Xu Zhan paid ten million Star Coins, and Xu Zhan accepted.
• Ning Shen told Xu Zhan that Su Yuan had reached Wisdom Valley Star minutes earlier, and Xu Zhan hurried away after learning he had just missed him.
• The Secret Realm Spirit assured Ning Shen that Xu Zhan meant no harm and suggested he could become a backer for Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang.
• Ning Shen realized Xu Zhan knew neither Su Yuan's name nor his location on Wisdom Valley Star, making his search difficult.

Ning Shen told Xu Zhan that Source Saint was Su Yuan, then left the First Secret Realm. Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang arrived on Wisdom Valley Star, where they were mistaken for warship maintenance applicants and asked Liang Yue where to get terminal devices.
