• The group of six (Su Yuan, Ning Zhewang, Qin Xuexin, Ning Ran Saint, Luo Yixian, Xu Zhan) teleport from Blue Star back to Wisdom Valley Star, arriving at the Yang Family Battleship Port in Golden Radiance City
• They immediately travel back to the Sky Star War Academy in the Enlightened Truth Domain
• Luo Yixian gives Qin Xuexin a student identity card to join Voidstar Department Class One, and provides Ning Ran Saint with a temporary card allowing access to academy facilities
• Upon entering the academy, Luo Yixian senses something wrong and departs abruptly, leaving Xu Zhan to escort the group
• Xu Zhan gives them a tour of the academy, then leaves to join the dean
• Su Yuan, Qin Xuexin, and Ning Zhewang go to Xia Chengxiong's dormitory to register Qin Xuexin into the class
• Xia Chengxiong arrives with a grave expression (but hides it), and is shocked to learn Qin Xuexin also has Voidstar-tier Astral Power

• Qin Xuexin: Adapts quickly to Wisdom Valley Star, noting increased breathing technique efficiency; begins her journey at the Sky Star War Academy as Su Yuan's girlfriend
• Ning Ran Saint: Accepts the temporary identity card and plans to stay at the academy before heading to the Divine Abyss Sacred Land
• Su Yuan: Introduces Qin Xuexin to the academy and explains class arrangements; remains alert to potential Netherheart Sword Alliance threats
• Luo Yixian: Appears troubled upon detecting something amiss at the academy, hinting at impending trouble

Significant Themes

• The gap between genius and powerhouse: Despite Su Yuan's talent, he remains vulnerable against World Realm experts
• The looming Netherheart Sword Alliance threat: Their expected retaliation for Ji Ronglin's incident hangs over the group
• Protection of talent: The academy's efforts to accommodate new exceptional students

Character Interactions

• Luo Yixian generously provides for both newcomers' needs
• Su Yuan guides Qin Xuexin through academy protocols and culture
• Classmates notice Qin Xuexin's proximity to Su Yuan and infer their relationship
• Xia Chengxiong warmly greets the returning students, then shows visible shock at discovering another Voidstar-tier student

Chapter Summary

• Qin Xuexin joins Sky Star War Academy: Xia Chengxiong welcomes Qin Xuexin to Voidstar Department Class One, noting that she, Su Yuan, and Ning Zhewang are all Voidstar-tier Astral Power holders from Blue Star—a lineup comparable to that of an Overlord-tier faction. Xuexin begins her studies under Xia Chengxiong, while Su Yuan and Ning Zhewang agree to resume classes the following morning.
• Signs of a crisis at the academy: Su Yuan and the others notice the serious expressions of Xia Chengxiong and the dean, who leaves shortly after arriving. They conclude that the Netherheart Sword Alliance is probably responsible for the academy’s recent troubles.
• Su Yuan supports Xuexin: After returning to Purple Origin Hall, Su Yuan transfers his accumulated War Academy Points to Xuexin, ensuring that she has enough resources to cultivate for a long time.
• The Netherheart Sword Alliance issues an ultimatum: Xu Zhan visits Su Yuan and reveals that the Netherheart Sword Alliance has demanded that Sky Star War Academy surrender him. If the academy refuses, the Alliance threatens to launch an Overlord-Breaking War—a war of annihilation between two Overlord-tier factions that continues until one side is destroyed.
• Political and military background: Xu Zhan explains that the Flame Luo Star Alliance is unlikely to intervene. Its leader, Imperial Saint, has been recuperating since the devastating Star-Domain War, leaving his descendant Yang Zun, a World Realm Peak Tier expert, to manage the alliance. Though the alliance still maintains order, it generally avoids interfering in extreme conflicts between powerful factions. Its strength has also declined sharply, with more than half of its World Realm experts lost during the war.
• The threat may be intimidation—but remains serious: Xu Zhan believes the Netherheart Sword Alliance probably does not truly intend to start a full Overlord-Breaking War, since such wars have not occurred for over a thousand years. Instead, the Alliance may be using the threat to pressure the academy into surrendering Su Yuan. However, the Alliance has nine World Realm experts and could send a Peak Tier expert with several others to seize Su Yuan by force.
• Sky Star War Academy’s dilemma: The academy cannot easily resist without risking its three thousand students. Other Overlord-tier factions, such as the Jiang and Murong Clans, have little reason to assist because the Alliance is targeting Su Yuan alone. A World Realm High Tier expert from the Netherheart Sword Alliance has already warned Vice Deans Li and Yi that the academy has seven days to hand Su Yuan over.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Su Yuan: Remains calm but recognizes the gravity of the situation. He realizes the Alliance’s hatred toward the Li Family—and by extension himself—is deep enough to endanger an entire Overlord-tier faction.
• Qin Xuexin: Begins her formal life at the academy and receives Su Yuan’s substantial support through his War Academy Points.
• Ning Zhewang: Demonstrates his eagerness to resume training, emphasizing the importance of gaining Astral Power Value.
• Xia Chengxiong: Acts as Xuexin’s teacher and shows concern for the returning students while concealing the academy’s crisis.
• Xu Zhan: Serves as the bearer of the warning, explaining the political situation and admitting that the academy may be unable to protect Su Yuan without placing everyone at risk.

Significant Themes

• Power and political leverage: The Netherheart Sword Alliance uses the threat of total war to force the academy into surrendering one student.
• Individual versus collective responsibility: Su Yuan’s safety is weighed against the lives of thousands of students and the survival of Sky Star War Academy.
• Decline of established powers: The Flame Luo Star Alliance’s weakened state reflects the lasting consequences of the Star-Domain War.
• Loyalty, bloodline, and inherited conflict: Su Yuan is targeted because of his connection to the Li Family, showing how family grudges can extend across factions and generations.
• Escalating danger: What began as Su Yuan’s personal conflict with the Netherheart Sword Alliance now threatens to become a war between major powers.

• Dean Luo Yixian firmly refuses, insisting that Su Yuan is not at the academy and warning that the Alliance must first break through the Sky Star Guardian Array.
• Luo activates the array, which creates a powerful barrier around the academy. It can withstand a single Peak World Realm expert for a month and the Alliance’s five World Realm experts for roughly twenty-five to twenty-six days.
• The Alliance dismisses the barrier’s defenses. Wang Ganfeng, the Alliance’s most bloodthirsty and battle-hungry member, urges the group to attack.
• All five World Realm experts launch powerful strikes against the barrier. Their attacks destroy the surrounding buildings and facilities, but the Sky Star Guardian Array remains intact.
• Several students consider contacting their clans and outside forces for assistance. However, teachers stop them, explaining that outside intervention would escalate the conflict beyond a simple Overlord-Breaking War.
• Murong Qiushui similarly attempts to contact the Murong Clan, but Xia Chengxiong prevents her from doing so.
• Inside the Astral Spirit Training Room, Su Yuan struggles to complete the final step of the Divine God Breathing Method. Despite sensing the battle outside, he remains calm and focused.

• With his power restored through Undying Power and his new ability awakened, Su Yuan leaves the training room with an extremely cold expression, presumably preparing to confront the attackers.

Character Developments

• Fang Zilu is established as uncompromising and confident, giving the academy almost no opportunity for negotiation.
• Wang Ganfeng is portrayed as especially violent and eager for battle. His reputation as the Li Family’s greatest killer emphasizes the danger posed by the Alliance.

• Pressure creating breakthroughs: The external crisis parallels Su Yuan’s internal struggle, with the impending attack pushing the chapter toward his successful mastery of True Profound Qi.
• Defiance against overwhelming power: The academy’s barrier symbolizes its determination to resist the stronger Netherheart Sword Alliance despite its apparent disadvantage.

• After they leave, Luo Yixian comforts the students and announces that every student will receive 10,000 War Academy Points.

4. Character Interactions

• Fang Zilu and Xu Qiuyuan communicate via telepathy; Xu Qiuyuan asks what to do, and Fang Zilu explains why they cannot confront the Divine Abyss Sacred Land.

• The students discuss Su Yuan’s departure, with Xue Yang regretting not having time to meet him and Liu Gaoyan urging everyone to be happy for him.

• Plot and events: After Su Yuan successfully activates the Divine Abyss Holy Land Pass and departs, Luo Yixian, Xu Zhan, Li Ziwen, and Yi Junshuo return to the Dean’s Palace. They discuss the teleportation and wonder whether a person can use a pass after temporarily raising their realm through Star-Consciousness Martial Techniques. Luo Yixian notes that Su Yuan’s activation seemed delayed, suggesting something unusual. Xu Zhan announces that he will travel to Radiant Vault Star to remain near the Divine Abyss Sacred Land and protect Su Yuan. He plans to leave after Zhe Wang and Xuexin stabilize, entrusting them to Luo Yixian’s protection. Luo promises that Sky Star War Academy will keep them safe.
  Meanwhile, Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint arrive in a silver assessment hall connected to the Divine Abyss Sacred Land. A powerful voice explains that pass holders must answer questions truthfully before entering the Sacred Land; lying will result in execution as an invader. They provide their names, ages, realms, and origins. Su Yuan deliberately returns to his true realm, identifying himself as an early-stage Astral King, while Ning Ran Saint reports being an early-stage Transcendence Realm expert. The examiner, Ye Yuandao, becomes deeply confused by Su Yuan’s ability to activate the pass despite his seemingly insufficient realm.

Character development

• Luo Yixian becomes more cautious and analytical, recognizing that Su Yuan’s successful departure may not prove that realm enhancement techniques can normally activate the pass. He also reveals his influential connection to Venerable Zi, dean of Azure-Purple War Academy and his elder brother.
• Xu Zhan demonstrates his continued loyalty and sense of responsibility toward Su Yuan, deciding to relocate to Radiant Vault Star. He also entrusts Zhe Wang and Xuexin to Luo Yixian.
• Su Yuan reveals that he forcibly overcame the pass’s rejection using Star-Abyss-Tier Astral Power, confirming that his temporary realm increase should not have been enough. He remains composed and honest during the assessment.
• Ye Yuandao, the examiner, shifts from routine questioning to suspicion after discovering Su Yuan’s unexpectedly low realm and obscure origin.
• Themes: The chapter emphasizes loyalty, responsibility, and the protective bonds between powerful characters. It also highlights the vast differences in strength between Wisdom Valley Star and Radiant Vault Star, as well as the strict rules and dangers surrounding the Divine Abyss Sacred Land. A further theme is the gap between appearances and reality: Su Yuan’s displayed realm conceals the extraordinary power that allowed him to bypass the pass’s restrictions.
• Character interactions: Luo Yixian and Xu Zhan share a longstanding friendship built over thousands of years, with mutual trust and respect guiding their conversation. Luo reassures Xu Zhan that Zhe Wang and Xuexin will be protected. In the assessment hall, Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint answer in unison about their origins, while the examiner’s interrogation becomes increasingly focused on Su Yuan. The chapter ends with Ye Yuandao puzzled by the existence of Blue Star and by Su Yuan’s ability to enter the assessment despite being only an Astral King.

Chapter Summary: The Sole Examiner, Little Immortal Saint

• Ye Yuandao, the Divine Abyss Sacred Land’s sole examiner, questions Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint about their origins. Their mention of Blue Star leaves him puzzled, as he has never heard of such a remote place.
• The first assessment tests martial talent. When both candidates inject Astral Power into the testing papers, the papers explode, indicating that their talent exceeds the test’s maximum limit.
• The second assessment measures Astral Consciousness power. Su Yuan’s power reaches the fourth section of the sixth bar, making it comparable to the Peak Transcendence Realm. Ning Ran Saint reaches the second section of the seventh bar, comparable to the Mid Divine Communion Realm.
• Both pass the second test. Ye Yuandao realizes that their true combat abilities may be far greater than their cultivation realms suggest because both appear capable of using Star-Consciousness Martial Techniques to enhance their strength.
• The third assessment tests combat strength by placing each candidate against waves of powerful Star Beasts.
• Su Yuan effortlessly annihilates thousands of Transcendence Realm, Initial- and Mid-Stage Star Beasts using his mysterious Self-Is Power.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Demonstrates extraordinary martial talent, Astral Consciousness, and combat strength despite being only at the Astral King Realm, Initial Stage. His mysterious Self-Is Power becomes a subject of Ye Yuandao’s curiosity because it resembles the Power of Will without actually being it.
• Ning Ran Saint: Proves himself equally exceptional. His Astral Consciousness surpasses Su Yuan’s, and his halberd techniques allow him to slaughter vast numbers of powerful Star Beasts at remarkable speed.
• Ye Yuandao: Shifts from cautious examiner to astonished observer. He recognizes both candidates as rare geniuses and begins comparing Su Yuan to the descendants of Immortal Saints, the most outstanding younger-generation figures in the Sacred Land.

Significant Themes

• Hidden origins and unknown worlds: Blue Star’s obscurity emphasizes how isolated or distant Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint’s homeland may be.
• Exceptional talent beyond measurement: Both candidates exceed the limits of the Sacred Land’s testing tools, marking them as extraordinary even by the standards of a powerful institution.
• True strength versus cultivation realm: Their combat capabilities far exceed what their apparent realms suggest, highlighting the importance of techniques, Astral Consciousness, and unique powers.

Key Plot Points

• Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint pass the Divine Abyss Sacred Land trial by each defeating nearly ten thousand Peak Transcendence Realm Star Beasts.
• Su Yuan instantly wipes them out with “Self-Is Power” while standing still; Ning Ran Saint fights them head-on with his halberd, killing hundreds per strike.
• Ye Yuandao, a World Realm Peak expert, gives both the Sacred Land’s Outer Hall identity tokens.
• He then initiates an unofficial “hidden trial” to personally test their combat power.
• Ye Yuandao suppresses his cultivation to Divine Communion Realm, Initial Stage: his true body fights Su Yuan, while an Astral Consciousness Projection fights Ning Ran Saint.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan is revealed as a peerless genius: an Astral King Realm Initial cultivator who can fight across a Fourth Realm gap, with three kinds of Profound Meaning Force, including Great Accomplishment Precognitive Profundity, and multiple restorative abilities.
• Ning Ran Saint shows fearless, ferocious combat style and rising killing intent.
• Ye Yuandao is impressed by both, noting their “invincible bearing” and comparing Su Yuan’s calm, controlled fighting style to the Little Immortal Saint.

Significant Themes

• The gap between cultivation realms and whether combat talent can overcome it.
• The “invincible bearing” shared by top geniuses.
• Hidden tests as a means for mentors to gauge true potential beyond official trials.

Character Interactions

• Ye Yuandao acts as an evaluator/mentor, praising Su Yuan’s spear techniques and pushing him with real combat.
• Su Yuan eagerly accepts the challenge, hoping to test himself against a stronger opponent.
• The chapter ends with Ye Yuandao revealing a Divine Communion domain, abruptly suppressing Su Yuan, leaving the battle outcome unresolved.

Chapter Summary: “Switching Breathing Methods, True Profound Qi Unleashed”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ye Yuandao activates his Voidstar Tier Starfield Force, creating overwhelming pressure that restricts Su Yuan’s movement and breathing.
• Just as Ye Yuandao prepares to demand Su Yuan’s surrender, Su Yuan switches from the Advanced Astral Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Method to the newly mastered Divine God Breathing Method.
• The change dramatically transforms Su Yuan’s aura and allows him to break through the Starfield’s suppression almost instantly.
• Su Yuan counterattacks with the Divine Four Form, striking Ye Yuandao with multiple streaks of spear radiance and sending him flying.
• A ring of light appears beneath Su Yuan’s feet, releasing pale golden mist and continuously strengthening him through True Profound Qi.
• Ye Yuandao repeatedly attacks, attempting to discover the source of Su Yuan’s growing power or force him away from the ring, but Su Yuan remains rooted in place and blocks every assault.

• Using the Purple Abyss Spear and seamlessly combining the Break Three Form and Divine Four Form, Su Yuan fights on equal terms with the three experts.
• His performance attracts more challengers. A fourth Peak Transcendence Realm fighter joins the attack, followed by two High Tier Transcendence Realm fighters. However, Self-Is Power instantly overwhelms the latter two, causing them to faint and be eliminated.

• Little Immortal Saint establishes himself as an extraordinarily powerful genius. Even while deliberately limiting his cultivation increase, he effortlessly eliminates everyone in his circle.

• The Little Immortal Saint becomes interested in Su Yuan and considers giving him resources to increase his Astral Power Value, though he also wishes he could fight him personally.
