Chapter Summary: “Unexpected Gains, Light Origin Hall”

Key Plot Points and Events

• During the Final Regional Battle for the Pure Heart Celestial Star Pill, Chen Shenxiao unexpectedly withdraws from the contest instead of fighting Su Yuan or Ning Ran Saint.
• His withdrawal leaves everyone stunned, since he had been the strongest contender and could have claimed the pill easily. He explains that he wants Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint to compete for it instead.

• Chen Shenxiao’s earlier attacks on Wang Xiuliang and Xiao Yuerou are revealed to have been intended to remove them from the battle. Both are frustrated that he injured them rather than simply asking them to leave.
• Chen urges Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint to fight, but neither wishes to battle the other seriously. Su Yuan is especially reluctant to fight Ning Ran Saint, who is at the High Tier of the Transcendence Realm while Su Yuan is only at the Initial Stage.
• Ning Ran Saint ultimately steps outside the circle of light voluntarily, leaving Su Yuan as the winner. The battle ends after Chen Shenxiao has thrown only one punch and two kicks, while most participants never fight.

• Su Yuan realizes that, together with Ye Zun’s Xuanli Elixir, Chen Shenxiao’s golden liquid, and the Pureheart Earth Star Pill, his new resources could increase his Astral Power Value by roughly three million.

• Ning Ran Saint: Demonstrates generosity and consideration by withdrawing from the contest so Su Yuan can receive the pill. His relationship with Su Yuan is shown to be supportive rather than competitive.

His knowledge of the Inner Hall also suggests he understands threats and opportunities unknown to the others.
• Wang Xiuliang and Xiao Yuerou: Are left resentful and bewildered after Chen Shenxiao defeats them to clear the way for Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint, though their injuries begin healing through the area’s restorative energy.

• Chen Shenxiao offers to assist them if necessary and personally adds both to his terminal contacts—a rare honor that would make other Transcendence Realm martial artists envious.
• Su Yuan enters the Light Origin Hall, discovering that it has been unoccupied for over three centuries. He examines the hall before beginning cultivation.
• He uses the Xuanli Elixir according to the system’s instructions, coating his entire body with the liquid rather than consuming it. After enduring the intense energy absorption, his cultivation rises from the Astral King Realm Initial Stage to the Middle Tier, reaching over 15.5 million Astral Power Value.
• Su Yuan then prepares to inspect the golden liquid gifted by Chen Shenxiao. Before he can study it, the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Beast Pupil leaves the Azure Stem Pearl and reacts to the liquid.
• The beast pupil absorbs the golden liquid, transforms from pale blue to gold, and opens its eye for the first time. Its strange blue-and-gold gaze overwhelms Su Yuan, causing him to faint.
• Su Yuan awakens in a golden inheritance space, where a mysterious voice questions how someone without the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon bloodline entered.
• Despite his lack of the required bloodline, the voice declares that Su Yuan is fated to encounter the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon and offers him a trial. If he succeeds, he can obtain the Peak Emperor Tier body-tempering art, the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art.

Character Interactions

• Chen Shenxiao and Su Yuan/Ning Ran Saint part on friendly terms, with Chen offering future assistance and exchanging contact information.
• Su Yuan and Ning Ran Saint briefly converse before entering their halls to cultivate separately.
• Su Yuan’s interaction with the beast pupil is indirect but pivotal: the golden liquid triggers its awakening, and its gaze causes him to lose consciousness.
• In the inheritance space, Su Yuan encounters the mysterious voice of the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon’s legacy, which challenges his presence but ultimately grants him the opportunity to pursue the dragon’s powerful inheritance.

Chapter Summary

Plot Points and Events

• Su Yuan learns about the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art, a cultivation technique potentially reaching the Peak Emperor Tier. Because it can greatly enhance physical strength and synergizes with his talent “Whole-Body Power,” he immediately accepts the inheritance trial.
• The inheritance warns that cultivation requires exceptionally powerful physical strength and that the trial is extremely dangerous. Su Yuan remains confident because “Whole-Body Power” has already given him formidable bodily strength.
• Su Yuan realizes that Yu Tianshen likely placed the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Beast Pupil at Will Martial University so that a human might eventually inherit the clan’s legacy. Through a series of coincidences, Su Yuan obtained the pupil and activated the inheritance space.
• He also suspects that the golden liquid given to him by the Little Immortal Saint was likely the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon’s blood essence, since it greatly increased his Astral Power and enabled the inheritance space to open.
• Su Yuan is transported to an arena and faces a humanoid phantom of the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Clan. The rules restrict him to using only:
  • Pure physical strength
  • His Breathing Method
  • His natural regenerative abilities
    He cannot use weapons, martial techniques, Astral Power, Laws, profundities, or active healing powers.
• In the basic physical test, Su Yuan initially struggles against the phantom, whose strength is comparable to that of a peak Star King-level member of its clan.
• As Su Yuan circulates the Divine God Breathing Method, True Profound Qi works together with “Whole-Body Power,” causing his physical strength to increase continuously during the battle.
• His natural recovery, enhanced by Crimson War God’s Heart, allows him to withstand the phantom’s attacks without needing external healing.
• Su Yuan eventually overwhelms the phantom with a powerful punch, shattering it and passing the basic physical test. The inheritance immediately announces the start of the intermediate physical test.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan demonstrates confidence and decisiveness by accepting the trial almost immediately. His previous battles and “Whole-Body Power” have given him strong faith in his physical capabilities.
• During the fight, he discovers that “Whole-Body Power” can be actively stimulated and becomes stronger over time when combined with True Profound Qi.
• Most importantly, Su Yuan realizes that this physical enhancement is permanent, unlike the temporary boost from True Profound Qi after defeating an opponent. This significantly increases the long-term value of the talent.
• Su Yuan also gains a deeper understanding of his regenerative ability, recognizing Crimson War God’s Heart as the foundation of his recovery methods.
• The mysterious burly observer becomes increasingly impressed and puzzled by Su Yuan’s abnormal strength, breathing method, and recovery ability.

Significant Themes

• Inheritance and destiny: Su Yuan’s acquisition of the beast pupil appears to be the result of fate, connecting him to the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon legacy.
• Physical strength and self-reliance: The trial strips away all external powers, forcing Su Yuan to rely solely on his body, breathing method, and natural regeneration.
• Continuous growth: Su Yuan’s strength does not remain fixed; his abilities evolve during battle, emphasizing adaptation and improvement under pressure.
• Hidden potential and mystery: The origins of the golden liquid, the purpose of Yu Tianshen’s arrangements, and Su Yuan’s unusual abilities remain unresolved.
• Human potential versus ancient bloodlines: Despite being human and only at the Initial Astral King Realm, Su Yuan can challenge a peak Star King-level dragon-clan phantom through sheer physical power.

Character Interactions

• Su Yuan interacts with the inheritance’s guiding voice, which explains the cultivation requirements and trial restrictions.
• He battles the humanoid Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon phantom, initially struggling but gradually gaining the upper hand as his body adapts.
• The unseen burly observer, apparently connected to the dragon clan and the inheritance space, watches Su Yuan’s battle and repeatedly expresses surprise at his strength, regenerative ability, and unknown Breathing Method.
• The observer’s curiosity grows as Su Yuan’s strength continues increasing, suggesting that Su Yuan’s performance is far beyond what the inheritance’s guardians expected.

Chapter Summary: “Hard Clash, Whole-Body Power Unleashed”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Su Yuan realizes that Whole-Body Power, a growth-type talent from the War God’s Heart, has developed a new function: rather than temporarily multiplying his strength, it permanently increases his physical power through continued combat.
• He resolves to investigate whether his other talents have similarly evolved after completing the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon trial.
• In the Intermediate Physical Body Trial, Su Yuan faces a much stronger phantom resembling a massive humanoid dragon armed with a powerful King-Tier golden spear.
• Su Yuan first activates the Divine God Breathing Method, True Profound Qi, and Whole-Body Power. He attempts to catch and withstand the dragon’s spear, but the impact overwhelms him and sends him flying, interrupting his True Profound Qi absorption.
• Recognizing the limitations of having to remain stationary while using True Profound Qi, Su Yuan abandons that approach and instead activates Self-Is Power, confronting the dragon directly with his physical strength.
• Although he is repeatedly struck and injured, Whole-Body Power steadily strengthens him. The Crimson War God’s Heart continuously heals his wounds, allowing him to endure hours of intense combat.
• After roughly three hours, Su Yuan’s physical strength has increased dramatically. He finally catches the dragon’s spear with one hand and throws both the dragon and its weapon across the sky.

Character Development

• Su Yuan demonstrates adaptability and determination. After recognizing that True Profound Qi is too restrictive in this battle, he changes tactics rather than persisting with an ineffective strategy.
• His confidence in his physical body grows as Whole-Body Power proves capable of producing permanent, cumulative improvements.
• Despite suffering severe injuries and being repeatedly knocked back, Su Yuan remains mentally composed and continues fighting until he gains the upper hand.
• The Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon, observing the trial, becomes increasingly impressed by Su Yuan’s abnormal physical talent. It initially considers whether Su Yuan possesses a powerful special physique, then concludes that his strength comes from an extraordinary physical-body talent.

Significant Themes

• Growth through adversity: Su Yuan becomes stronger by enduring prolonged hardship rather than relying solely on temporary boosts.
• Adaptation in battle: The chapter emphasizes the importance of changing strategies when a technique’s limitations are exposed.
• The body as a weapon: Even without a conventional weapon, Su Yuan’s fists and physical strength eventually become powerful enough to challenge an armed opponent.
• Hidden potential and talent: Whole-Body Power is revealed to be far more extraordinary than previously understood, hinting that Su Yuan’s other talents may also contain undiscovered abilities.
• Persistence overcoming overwhelming power: The dragon initially dominates the fight, but Su Yuan’s healing, endurance, and cumulative growth gradually reverse the situation.

Character Interactions

• Su Yuan directly clashes with the phantom humanoid great dragon, whose spear gives it a major initial advantage. Their battle is almost entirely physical, with Su Yuan repeatedly attempting to block, seize, and withstand the weapon.
• The unseen Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon analyzes Su Yuan throughout the fight, speculating about his physique and marveling at his rapid increase in strength.
• The observer compares Su Yuan’s ability to famous special physiques such as the Nine Sovereign Desolate Battle Body and Tyrant Dragon Immortal Body, but ultimately recognizes that his power stems from a unique supreme talent.
• By the end of the chapter, the relationship between challenger and trial opponent shifts: Su Yuan is no longer merely surviving the dragon’s attacks but has gained enough strength to overpower and hurl it away.

Chapter Summary: “Advanced Body Trial, Terrifying Perseverance”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Su Yuan defeats the Intermediate Physical Body Trial’s great dragon after unleashing thousands of powerful punches and a final crushing blow.
• The Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon announces the Advanced Body Trial, warning that the next opponent wears powerful battle armor and wields superior defensive and offensive strength.
• Su Yuan chooses to continue immediately rather than rest, hoping to maintain his momentum and further strengthen himself through combat.
• The advanced opponent manifests as a massive dragon-shaped phantom equipped with golden battle armor and an azure spear. Its physical power is comparable to the Peak Transcendence Realm.
• The phantom immediately attacks with a devastating spear thrust. Su Yuan catches and restrains the spear with both hands, barely preventing himself from being knocked away.
• Su Yuan activates True Profound Qi and deliberately maintains the stalemate. His goal is not merely to survive but to use the extreme pressure to advance the Divine God Breathing Method.
• The battle destroys the surrounding forest as the two sides remain locked in place. Su Yuan endures immense pain, numbness, and trembling for more than twenty minutes.
• His True Profound Qi and Whole-Body Power gradually amplify his physical strength. After initially becoming numb, his body begins to recover and fill with renewed power.
• The Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon observes that Su Yuan’s strength is steadily increasing and realizes that, given enough time, he may eventually defeat the phantom.

Character Development

• Su Yuan: Demonstrates extraordinary endurance, determination, and willingness to endure suffering for growth. Rather than immediately counterattacking, he adopts a calculated strategy: resisting the phantom’s full power to cultivate the Divine God Breathing Method. His physical strength continually improves through combat, making him increasingly comparable to the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragons.
• Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon: Changes from skepticism and suspicion toward admiration and approval. It recognizes that Su Yuan’s body is stronger than those of many dragons in its own clan and begins to believe he deserves the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art.
• The dragon-shaped phantom: Though immensely powerful and equipped with armor and a weapon, it lacks true intelligence. Its refusal to retreat or change tactics allows Su Yuan to exploit the stalemate and continue strengthening himself.

Significant Themes

• Growth through adversity: The extreme pressure of battle causes Su Yuan’s physical strength and cultivation technique to improve continuously.
• Transcending racial limitations: Su Yuan must prove himself stronger than the naturally powerful Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragons to earn their clan’s highest martial inheritance as a human.
• Strategic suffering: Su Yuan deliberately accepts pain and danger because he understands that enduring the attack will produce greater long-term gains.
• Recognition through strength: His performance forces the dragon clan’s guardian to reconsider him, shifting from hostility to respect.

Character Interactions

• Su Yuan calmly accepts the Azure Dragon’s invitation to continue the trial, displaying confidence and resolve.
• The Azure Dragon warns him about the advanced trial’s difficulty and explains that passing it will grant the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art.
• During the battle, Su Yuan directly contests the phantom’s spear with his bare hands, turning the fight into a test of will and physical endurance.
• The observing Azure Dragon praises Su Yuan’s perseverance and privately acknowledges that he may be worthy of the clan’s peak Emperor-Tier martial technique.
• The chapter ends with Su Yuan and the phantom still locked in combat, though Su Yuan has secretly gained the advantage as his strength continues to rise.

Chapter Summary: Able to Move, Obtaining the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art

Key Plot Points and Events

• Su Yuan continues battling the dragon-shaped entity in the Advanced Body Trial, deliberately maintaining a stalemate while waiting for the Divine God Breathing Method to reach two percent progress.
• Once the method advances, the True Profound Qi halo beneath his feet expands to a radius of roughly five hundred meters. This allows Su Yuan to move while retaining the halo’s strengthening effects.
• Using his enhanced physical strength, Whole-Body Power, and Teleportation Power, Su Yuan begins counterattacking. He repeatedly throws the dragon-shaped entity back toward the edge of the halo and strikes it before it can escape.
• Although the entity’s physical strength is immense, its speed is inferior to Su Yuan’s. Su Yuan gradually overwhelms it through sustained, high-speed attacks.
• After more than an hour, Su Yuan cracks and destroys the entity’s battle armor with over ten thousand punches. Its unprotected body proves fragile and disappears after only three further blows.
• The Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon declares that Su Yuan has passed the Advanced Body Trial and grants him the Peak Emperor-Tier martial technique, the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art.
• Because Su Yuan is only the third human in tens of millions of years to obtain the technique, the Ultimate Body Trial is unlocked for him—but it cannot yet be attempted.
• The Ultimate Trial requires him to fight a Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon at the World Realm Initial Stage, an opponent vastly beyond his current strength. He must first reach comparable physical strength, then use a drop of Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Blood Essence to reopen the inheritance space.
• Su Yuan awakens in the cultivation chamber and discovers that only ten minutes passed outside despite the much longer battle inside the inheritance space.

Character Development

• Su Yuan demonstrates patience and strategic judgment by delaying his counterattack until the Divine God Breathing Method improves.
• His progress to two percent allows him to move freely within the True Profound Qi halo, transforming a defensive stalemate into a decisive advantage.
• He gains greater confidence in combining his physical power, speed, teleportation, and sustained combat ability.
• Su Yuan successfully acquires a powerful new martial technique but recognizes that the Ultimate Body Trial is currently impossible, showing an understanding of the enormous gap between his strength and the World Realm.
• After awakening, he shifts his focus from the inheritance to future objectives, accepting that finding the required blood essence can be postponed.

Significant Themes

• Patience and preparation: Su Yuan waits for the right breakthrough instead of rushing into an uncertain attack.
• Strength through accumulation: His advantage comes from the combined effects of True Profound Qi, Whole-Body Power, speed, and prolonged combat.
• The vastness of cultivation: Even after winning the Advanced Trial and obtaining a Peak Emperor-Tier technique, Su Yuan remains far below the level required for the Ultimate Trial.
• Inheritance and destiny: His rare success as a human earns him access to a trial normally far beyond his current stage.
• Future challenges: The chapter closes by establishing a long-term goal: reaching World Realm-level physical strength and finding Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Blood Essence.

Character Interactions

• Su Yuan and the dragon-shaped entity engage in a prolonged battle. Su Yuan exploits its poor speed and repeatedly prevents it from escaping the strengthened area.
• The Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon observes the fight and acknowledges Su Yuan’s victory, granting him the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art.
• The Supreme Azure Dragon explains the conditions and dangers of the Ultimate Body Trial, warning Su Yuan that entering prematurely would result in instant defeat.
• After returning to the outside world, Su Yuan reflects on the dragon’s instructions, the time difference between the two spaces, and the difficulty of obtaining the blood essence needed for his eventual return.

• He refines the Pureheart Earth Star Pill and Pure Heart Celestial Star Pill, increasing his Astral Power Value to 15,800,900.6 (Astral King Realm, Middle Tier), an exact gain of 220,000.
• Examining the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art, he finds it has two versions: one for the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon clan (requiring >95% bloodline purity, impossible for him) and a Human Chapter.
• The Human Chapter’s Stage One requires a drop of Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Blood Essence to begin, but Su Yuan no longer has any. He messages Ning Ran Saint, who confirms he already refined the golden liquid—so Su Yuan has no supply.
• Su Yuan plans to ask Little Immortal Saint for blood essence, but worries he has nothing of equal value to offer.
• He spends the rest of the night testing all nine War God’s Heart talents, discovering some have grown or changed.
• At 7:45 AM, he heads to Profound Heaven Plaza for the regional battle beginning at 8:00.

2. Character Developments

• Su Yuan’s strength increases slightly through the pills, but his focus shifts to long-term cultivation bottlenecks—he now needs precious dragon blood essence to advance the Emperor Dragon Art.
• His Comprehension Power has grown to a “monstrous” level, and Whole-Body Power and Teleportation Power show permanent, accumulative growth through use.
• Star Abyss Power seems close to transforming, possibly tied to Transcendence Force.
• He shows careful planning and humility by recognizing he cannot easily bargain with someone like Little Immortal Saint.

3. Significant Themes

• Cultivation prerequisites and bottlenecks: Techniques require exact resources or bloodlines, making progress depend on opportunity as much as effort.
• Unequal exchange/power relations: Even a talented genius may lack the means to trade with a descendant of an Immortal Saint.
• Hidden inheritance and mystery: The Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art’s deeper stages are sealed; only those who complete earlier stages can proceed.
• Incremental talent growth: Repeated use of War God’s Heart talents grants permanent improvement, emphasizing gradual mastery over sudden leaps.

• Su Yuan ↔ Little Immortal Saint (planned): He intends to raise the matter of Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Blood Essence after the regional battle, but is unsure of what he can offer in return.
• Su Yuan’s internal reflections: He considers Yu Tianshen and Little Immortal Saint as possible predecessors, but cannot confirm either—keeping their relationship ambiguous and open-ended.

Chapter Summary: Crimson Venerable Legacy, Settling Scores

Key Plot Points and Events

• Chen Shenxiao brings Su Yuan to the Divine Firmament Hall to discuss an upcoming mission in private.
• He explains that Radiant Vault Star consists of three major regions: the Origin-Return Domain, the Inquiry Luo Domain, and the Grand Heaven Domain. The Divine Abyss Sacred Land and Sky-Shattering Hall are both located in the powerful Origin-Return Domain.
• Their destination is the Crimson Truth Pavilion, a former Overlord-tier faction that declined after suffering heavy losses during the Star-Domain War. It is now only a Top-tier Faction, with its strongest expert at the Peak Divine Communion Realm.
• The Crimson Truth Pavilion recently discovered the hidden legacy of its founder, the Crimson Venerable, a former Peak World Realm expert who once ranked fifth on the World Ranking.
• The legacy requires candidates to be under twenty-five years old and at least at the Middle Astral King Realm. It likely contains the Crimson Venerable’s Peak Emperor-Tier spear art.
• The pavilion has requested help from both the Divine Abyss Sacred Land and the Sky-Shattering Hall. Each faction’s mission allows only two participants, and the pavilion hopes one of its own disciples will gain the legacy after the outsiders help secure it.
• If successful, Su Yuan and Chen Shenxiao may copy the legacy before returning it. They will also receive substantial contribution points and cultivation resources, enough to increase Su Yuan’s Astral Power Value by roughly ten million after the rewards are divided.
• Chen Shenxiao reveals that the Little Venerable Saint of the Sky-Shattering Hall has accepted the opposing mission. Since that rival specializes in spear arts, Chen expects him to compete fiercely for the legacy.
• Chen intends to use the mission to defeat the Little Venerable Saint publicly and settle their long-standing feud.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Initially unfamiliar with Radiant Vault Star’s political and factional structure, he listens carefully to Chen’s explanation. His interest sharply increases when he learns about the Peak Emperor-Tier spear art and the enormous cultivation rewards.
• Chen Shenxiao: Presents himself as knowledgeable, confident, and strategically motivated. Although he claims the legacy itself is not especially useful to him, he has accepted the mission to confront his old rival and restore his reputation.
• Little Venerable Saint: Established as Chen’s former tormentor and current rival. He once exploited his two-year age advantage to challenge Chen repeatedly, but Chen eventually surpassed him and suppressed him completely. Unable to defeat Chen physically, he now spreads rumors against him.

Significant Themes

• Rivalry and settling old scores: The mission is not merely a quest for treasure; it is Chen’s chance to retaliate against a rival who humiliated and antagonized him in the past.
• Legacy and succession: The Crimson Venerable’s hidden inheritance represents the founder’s final connection to the Crimson Truth Pavilion and may determine the future of the weakened faction.
• Talent and age: The requirements for the legacy, as well as Chen and the Little Venerable Saint’s past rivalry, emphasize how cultivation talent and age advantages shape competition among young geniuses.
• Reputation versus strength: Chen believes his rival’s rumors cannot match actual power and plans to prove that he is the strongest genius on Radiant Vault Star through direct victory.
• Strategic alliances and factional competition: The Sacred Land and Sky-Shattering Hall are competing through the same mission, turning the legacy hunt into both a personal duel and a larger factional contest.

Character Interactions

• Chen Shenxiao transports Su Yuan to the Divine Firmament Hall and adopts a mentor-like role while explaining the mission and regional power structure.
• Su Yuan responds respectfully and attentively, questioning nothing but becoming visibly interested in the rewards and spear art.
• Chen speaks openly about his past with the Little Venerable Saint, portraying their relationship as one of prolonged harassment, eventual reversal, and continuing hostility.
• The upcoming mission will place Su Yuan and Chen against the Little Venerable Saint and his companion, creating both a competition for the Crimson Venerable Legacy and a stage for Chen’s promised revenge.

Chapter Summary

Plot and Key Events

• Chen Shenxiao, the Little Immortal Saint, explains his history with Zhang Yuzun, the Little Venerable Saint. Zhang had repeatedly challenged and defeated him when they were younger, but Chen insists that Zhang’s earlier dominance no longer reflects their current abilities.
• Chen reveals the details of Crimson Truth Pavilion’s mission to obtain the Crimson Venerable Legacy:
  • Participants must be at the Middle Tier of the Astral King Realm.
  • Upon entering the legacy grounds, everyone’s cultivation will be suppressed to the same level.
  • Five Overlord-tier factions have sent ten geniuses to compete.
  • Only one person can inherit the legacy of the former fifth-ranked World Realm expert.
  • The main prize is a Peak Emperor-Tier martial technique, which Crimson Truth Pavilion hopes will restore its former glory.
• Chen admits he is more interested in seeing Zhang fail than in obtaining the legacy himself. He intends to rely on the mission rewards and considers the inheritance a contest primarily between Su Yuan, Zhang, and the other participants.
• Chen encourages Su Yuan to compete directly with Zhang. He believes Su Yuan’s spear technique is comparable to Zhang’s and says that winning the legacy would greatly increase Su Yuan’s reputation across Radiant Vault Star and the Ninth Star Domain.
• Su Yuan learns that Zhang Yuzun is the Little Venerable Saint’s real name.
• Chen and Su Yuan formally become closer, agreeing to call each other “Little Xiao” and “Brother Yuan.”
• Chen explains that the mission will take them outside Divine Abyss Sacred Land. They are to meet at the Divine Abyss Passage at six the following evening, after which they will travel to Crimson Truth Pavilion.
• He gives Su Yuan background on the region: Divine Abyss Sacred Land lies atop Divine Abyss Mountain in Origin Heaven City, within the Origin-Return Domain, and the Divine Abyss Passage is the sole route to the outside world.
• After Chen leaves, Su Yuan refines two pills, gaining 220,000 Astral Power Value. He then prepares to cultivate the first stage of the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art using the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Blood Essence.

Character Development

• Su Yuan: Gains a major opportunity to establish himself beyond Wisdom Valley Star. He accepts the challenge seriously and begins preparing for both the Crimson Venerable Legacy competition and his new cultivation technique.
• Chen Shenxiao: Reveals a more personal and competitive side, driven by resentment toward Zhang Yuzun. At the same time, he recognizes Su Yuan’s strength and sincerely accepts him as a brother, showing that Su Yuan has earned his respect.
• Zhang Yuzun: Though absent, he is established as Su Yuan’s primary rival. His widespread reputation and past victories over Chen make him the expected favorite for the legacy.
• Crimson Truth Pavilion: Its determination to reclaim former prestige is emphasized, though Chen doubts that one Peak Emperor-Tier technique alone will be enough.

Significant Themes

• Strength versus reputation: Zhang is widely expected to win because of his fame, while Su Yuan has the chance to overturn those expectations through ability.
• Equalized competition: Since all participants will be suppressed to the same cultivation level, talent, technique, combat experience, and personal skill will determine the victor.
• Recognition and fellowship: Chen’s decision to call Su Yuan “Brother Yuan” symbolizes genuine respect and acceptance.
• Rivalry and revenge: Chen’s desire to witness Zhang’s defeat adds a personal motive to the larger inheritance contest.

Chapter Summary: Mastering the Jade Balance Imperial Heaven Fist

Key Plot Points and Events

• Su Yuan cultivates the first stage of the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art, circulating a drop of Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Blood Essence through his body.
• Golden light gradually covers him, forming the phantom of an ancient Azure Dragon and releasing a powerful, archaic aura.
• After cultivating continuously for nearly a full day, Su Yuan successfully reaches 1% mastery of the technique.
• The golden light transforms into Jade Balance Qi, which begins tempering his body and causes intense pain.
• Upon mastering the first stage, Su Yuan automatically gains the Jade Balance Imperial Heaven Fist, also at 1% proficiency.
• He tests the fist technique in the Stellar Space. Its power is so great that the space collapses before he can fully observe the attack.
• The attack consumes roughly one-third of his total strength, but Su Yuan determines that it is powerful enough to defeat any Peak Transcendence Realm cultivator and potentially fight an Initial Divine Communion Realm expert.
• After recovering, Su Yuan studies the functions of his Divine Abyss Sacred Land identity token and memorizes the map of Radiant Vault Star.
• He learns that the Sacred Land offers training facilities comparable to those at Sky Star War Academy.
• Su Yuan plans to explore these facilities after the Regional Battle and then accompany Chen Shenxiao on a Crimson Truth Pavilion mission.
• He also realizes that his terminal device still has restricted information and must be upgraded at a distribution point once he reaches the Astral King Realm.
• The chapter ends with Su Yuan continuing to temper his body with Jade Balance Qi while practicing the Imperial Heaven Fist before leaving the Light Origin Hall.

Character Development

• Su Yuan’s strength increases significantly. He successfully cultivates a powerful new martial art far faster than expected, likely because of his exceptional physique and strong physical foundation.
• His confidence grows as he realizes that the Jade Balance Imperial Heaven Fist gives him combat power far beyond his current Middle-Tier Astral King Realm.
• He becomes more analytical and cautious, recognizing the technique’s tremendous energy consumption and considering how his recovery abilities might allow him to use it repeatedly.
• Su Yuan continues balancing multiple cultivation paths: the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art, the Jade Balance Imperial Heaven Fist, and the slow-progressing Divine God Breathing Method.
• His ambitions expand as he prepares to explore the Sacred Land’s resources and undertake missions beyond his current region.

Significant Themes

• Power and cost: The Imperial Heaven Fist grants overwhelming destructive strength but consumes a large portion of Su Yuan’s energy, emphasizing that great power comes with limitations.
• Physical transformation: Jade Balance Qi does not merely increase Su Yuan’s strength; it actively tempers and reshapes his body.
• Rapid growth versus slow cultivation: Su Yuan’s swift progress in the Emperor Dragon Art contrasts sharply with the frustratingly slow advancement of the Divine God Breathing Method.
• Preparation and adaptation: Rather than relying solely on raw strength, Su Yuan studies his new abilities, learns how the Sacred Land operates, and prepares for future missions.
• Inherited power and mystery: The dragon imagery, automatic appearance of the fist technique, and unknown second-stage cultivation method suggest that the Emperor Dragon Art contains deeper secrets.

Character Interactions

• There are no direct conversations or confrontations with other characters in this chapter.
• Chen Shenxiao is mentioned as Su Yuan’s future companion for the Crimson Truth Pavilion mission.
• Su Yuan’s previous battle with Ye Yuandao is referenced as a benchmark for measuring his current combat strength; Su Yuan now believes he could challenge Ye Yuandao at the Initial Divine Communion Realm without temporarily raising his own cultivation realm.

Chapter Summary: Growing More Violent, Ye Yuandao’s Vigilance

Key Plot Points and Events

• Su Yuan arrives at Profound Heaven Plaza, immediately attracting attention because of his overwhelming performance in the previous day’s Regional Battle, where he defeated roughly a hundred opponents through sheer physical strength.

• Su Yuan once again earns two pills after Ning Ran Saint and Chen Shenxiao are forced out of the battle area. He then returns to Light Origin Hall after briefly speaking with them.
• Ye Yuandao notices that Su Yuan’s aura resembles the techniques of the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Clan, particularly the legendary Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art.
• Ye Yuandao summons Leng Chenxuan to Ye Zun Hall and explains his suspicion that Su Yuan may be connected to a powerful figure from the Tenth Starfield who can also cultivate the same art.
• Leng Chenxuan acknowledges the similarity but argues that Su Yuan may instead be connected to the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Clan or another neutral faction. He also points out that Su Yuan’s investigated background and relationships do not suggest he is an enemy agent.
• Ye Yuandao ultimately decides to continue observing Su Yuan. Though he remains cautious and promises to kill Su Yuan if he proves to be an invader, the discussion leaves him less certain that Su Yuan poses an immediate threat.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Continues to display rapid growth. His physical strength and violent combat style have visibly improved in only one day, reinforcing the impression that he possesses extraordinary talent. He remains unaware that powerful figures are investigating his origins.
• Ye Yuandao: Shifts from simple observation to active suspicion. His experience from the Star-Domain War allows him to recognize the special aura surrounding Su Yuan, making him increasingly vigilant.
• Leng Chenxuan: Acts as a more skeptical and pragmatic counterbalance to Ye Yuandao. He acknowledges the evidence but urges Ye Yuandao not to jump to conclusions.
• Ning Ran Saint and Chen Shenxiao: Remain friendly with Su Yuan but are unable to keep up with him in the Regional Battle, once again being forced out of the arena.
• Fang Tianyu: Continues teaching as normal and recognizes Su Yuan’s frightening rate of improvement.
• The Sacred Lord: Although not present, his apparent lack of reaction to Su Yuan’s abilities is treated as indirect evidence that Su Yuan is not currently considered dangerous.

Significant Themes

• Suspicion and hidden identity: Su Yuan’s mysterious connection to the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art raises questions about his origin and loyalties.

• Political and factional uncertainty: The Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Clan and the mysterious Tenth Starfield figure did not participate in the Star-Domain War, leaving their true positions unclear.
• Power and perception: Su Yuan’s strength earns admiration and fear, but his unexplained abilities also make him a potential target of suspicion.

Character Interactions

• Su Yuan quietly sits beside Ning Ran Saint during the lesson and later speaks with Ning Ran Saint and Chen Shenxiao after the battle.
• Ye Yuandao and other powerful observers, including Leng Chenxuan and Fang Tianyu, discuss Su Yuan’s increasingly violent fighting style and rapid advancement.
• In Ye Zun Hall, Ye Yuandao warns Leng Chenxuan that Su Yuan may be linked to the Tenth Starfield. Leng Chenxuan challenges this interpretation and argues that Su Yuan’s behavior, relationships, and the Sacred Lord’s silence suggest he is probably not an enemy.
• The two ultimately agree that Su Yuan should be watched carefully, with Ye Yuandao retaining a cautious readiness to eliminate him if his suspicions are confirmed.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Leng Chenxuan and Ye Yuandao discuss Su Yuan’s possession of the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art, debating whether it might connect him to the Tenth Starfield invaders. Leng Chenxuan argues that Su Yuan is unlikely to be an enemy because the art may simply be his extraordinary fortuitous encounter.
• They acknowledge that Su Yuan’s aura makes his cultivation of the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art obvious to other powerful observers. However, they trust the Holy Master to manage suspicion among the World Realm and Immortal Realm experts.
• The two experts emphasize the art’s immense importance, noting that it is the foundational inheritance of the Jade Balance Supreme Azure Dragon Clan and the main reason the Tenth Starfield’s two experts possess such overwhelming physical strength.
• Leng Chenxuan predicts that Su Yuan may soon become the fourth Little Immortal Saint of the Ninth Star Domain. Ye Yuandao raises the possibility that Su Yuan may instead be recognized as a Little Origin Saint, since Su Yuan previously called himself the Source Saint.
• Su Yuan enters the Astral Origin Training Hall, an exclusive cultivation space assigned through his identity token. The hall automatically grants him triple cultivation speed because he is an Astral King Realm, Middle Tier martial artist.
• At triple speed, Su Yuan gains 5,400 astral power values per hour, or 129,600 per day, without needing to actively cultivate.
• He receives word from Chen Shenxiao that a Crimson Truth Pavilion mission has been arranged for him. Because the mission can provide resources worth ten million astral power values, Su Yuan prioritizes it over exploring other training facilities.
• Su Yuan begins intensive cultivation, using medicinal pills, the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art, and the Jade Balance Imperial Heaven Fist. He repeatedly activates the Undying Power and other recovery abilities to endure the physical pain and energy consumption.
• He also discovers that the training hall can create sparring projections ranging from the Transcendence Realm to the Divine Communion Realm, Peak Tier. He summons a Divine Communion Realm, Initial Stage opponent to help train his combat abilities and activate Whole-Body Power.
• Despite several hours of effort, both peak Emperor-Tier martial techniques remain at roughly one percent progress, though Su Yuan can feel his physical strength steadily increasing.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan demonstrates exceptional determination and endurance. He willingly subjects himself to severe pain and exhaustion to cultivate techniques far above his current realm.
• His possession of the Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art strengthens his reputation and gives him the potential to compete with the Little Immortal Saints.
• Su Yuan remains practical and focused. Although the Astral Origin Training Hall offers many benefits, he recognizes that the Crimson Truth Pavilion mission is more important because of its enormous potential rewards.
• Leng Chenxuan becomes increasingly confident in Su Yuan’s future, viewing him as a likely fourth Little Immortal Saint.
• Ye Yuandao highlights Su Yuan’s individuality by questioning whether he would accept the conventional title of Little Immortal Saint rather than retain or develop the title of Little Origin Saint.
• Chen Shenxiao supports Su Yuan indirectly by arranging the important Crimson Truth Pavilion mission.

Significant Themes

• Extraordinary talent and destiny: Su Yuan’s rare inheritance and cultivation speed mark him as a possible future supreme figure of the Ninth Star Domain.
• Suspicion versus trust: His Jade Balance Emperor Dragon Art resembles the power of the Tenth Starfield’s invaders, creating political suspicion despite the possibility that it is merely his own inheritance.
• Persistence and gradual growth: Even with triple cultivation speed and intensive effort, high-level techniques progress extremely slowly, showing the enormous gap between Su Yuan and the experts who created them.
• Resources and strategic priorities: The chapter emphasizes the value of cultivation facilities, missions, inheritance, and recovery techniques in advancing martial power.
• Titles and identity: The discussion over “Little Immortal Saint” versus “Little Origin Saint” reflects Su Yuan’s unusual background and his potential to establish a distinct reputation.

Character Interactions

Chapter Summary: Upper Crimson Spear Alliance and Leaving the Divine Abyss Sacred Land

Key Plot Points and Events

• Su Yuan continues training in the Astral Origin Training Hall by repeatedly fighting phantom images and releasing his full physical power.

• Chen arrives shortly before their deadline and explains the major factions competing for the

Crimson Venerable Legacy

1. Divine Abyss Sacred Land

3. Severed Thought Pavilion
4. Upper Crimson Spear Alliance
5. Azure-Purple War Academy

• Chen warns Su Yuan to be especially cautious of Zhang Yuzun from the Sky-Shattering Hall and Zhou Xinyan from the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance.

• He also demonstrates patience and strategic awareness by listening carefully to Chen’s explanation of the competing factions and the political history behind the legacy contest.
• Chen Shenxiao acts as Su Yuan’s guide and informant, revealing the complicated history of the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance and the Crimson Truth Pavilion. Although his stated purpose is not to claim the legacy, he is determined to challenge Zhang Yuzun and disprove the rumors surrounding their relative strength.
• Chen acknowledges that Su Yuan’s spear cultivation, formidable strength, and Middle-Tier Astral King Realm make him a strong candidate for the legacy, especially because the legacy space suppresses cultivation realms.

Significant Themes

• Power through endurance and recovery: Su Yuan’s training emphasizes the importance of repeatedly exhausting and restoring oneself. His Undying Power represents both physical resilience and a hidden strategic advantage.
• Factional rivalry and betrayal: The history between the Crimson Truth Pavilion and the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance shows that former alliances can collapse when powerful leaders die and surviving factions compete over resources.
• Legacy and inheritance: The Crimson Venerable Legacy attracts powerful factions because it is tied to a renowned spear cultivator, making martial compatibility an important advantage.
• Competition shaped by strategy: The Crimson Truth Pavilion deliberately opened the legacy challenge across the Origin-Return Domain, hoping that Zhang Yuzun would interfere with Zhou Xinyan and prevent the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance from obtaining the inheritance.

• Chen provides detailed background information, while Su Yuan asks perceptive questions—particularly about the possible connection between the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance and the Crimson Truth Pavilion.
• Chen explains that the two factions were once allied through their founders but later became rivals after both founders died. The Upper Crimson Spear Alliance eventually gained the advantage and attempted to absorb the Crimson Truth Pavilion’s remaining resources.
• Chen admits that he recruited Su Yuan because Su Yuan’s spear techniques and strength give him a better chance of obtaining the legacy than the other possible candidates.
• Their partnership continues as they leave the sacred land together, with Chen eager to confront Zhang Yuzun and Su Yuan preparing for the larger competition ahead.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Experiences his first journey aboard a battleship and gains greater exposure to the larger cultivation world. His reputation is shown to be spreading beyond Wisdom Valley Star. Although he appears to be only at the Middle Tier of the Astral King Realm, his association with Chen Shenxiao suggests hidden status, talent, or circumstances that others do not understand.
• Chen Shenxiao: Demonstrates his high status through ownership of the extraordinary Purple Cloud Battleship. He openly treats Su Yuan as a trusted equal or close companion by calling him “Brother Yuan,” publicly elevating Su Yuan’s standing.

• Jiang Kaiyi: Greets Su Yuan respectfully despite being unable to determine his exact strength. He is also startled by Chen Shenxiao’s familiarity with Su Yuan.

Significant Themes

• The wider cultivation world: Su Yuan’s arrival on Radiant Vault Star exposes him to a higher-level social and political environment beyond Wisdom Valley Star.

Important Character Interactions

• Zhang Yuzun immediately confronts and mocks Chen Shenxiao for participating in a spear-based legacy despite being a sword cultivator.
• He accuses Chen Shenxiao of deliberately coming to suppress him and prevent him from obtaining the Crimson Venerable Legacy.
• The surrounding crowd accepts this accusation because of widespread rumors that Chen Shenxiao has secretly suppressed Zhang Yuzun since adolescence.
• In reality, Su Yuan realizes that the opposite is true: Zhang Yuzun had once suppressed Chen Shenxiao, and Chen only surpassed him through exceptional talent.
• When Zhang Yuzun provokes him into explaining his motive, Chen Shenxiao bluntly admits that he came specifically to suppress Zhang Yuzun.

Character Developments

• Su Yuan: Gains a deeper understanding of Chen Shenxiao’s character, recognizing him as genuinely kind, selfless, and undeserving of the malicious rumors. He also silently resolves to repay Chen’s past assistance.
• Chen Shenxiao: Remains calm and polite despite Zhang Yuzun’s insults. His direct admission that he came to suppress Zhang reveals a rare willingness to confront their rivalry openly.
• Zhang Yuzun: Appears domineering and confrontational, but his hostility is fueled by deep resentment and insecurity. He remains bitter that Chen Shenxiao surpassed him and has continued to suppress him despite his efforts to catch up.
• He Wenbai and Jiang Kaiyi: Act cautiously and respectfully, avoiding involvement in the conflict because neither they nor Crimson Truth Pavilion can afford to offend either prodigy.

• Chen openly declares that Zhang is not worthy of being suppressed by him personally and reveals that “someone else” will stop him. He then identifies Su Yuan as that person.
• The crowd reacts with disbelief. Zhang Yuzun is recognized as the strongest younger-generation spear user on the Radiant Vault Star, while Su Yuan appears vastly weaker due to his Astral King Realm, Middle Tier cultivation.
• Zhang mocks the idea that Su Yuan could defeat him and boasts that no one can prevent him from claiming the Crimson Venerable Legacy.
• Su Yuan calmly states that Zhang will not obtain the legacy, further provoking him.
• Chen then pressures Zhang to accept their future void battle, suggesting that Zhang is avoiding the challenge by focusing on the legacy.
• Zhang realizes Chen’s strategy: Su Yuan is the immediate obstacle, while Chen’s true goal is to defeat Zhang publicly after the legacy. Refusing would damage Zhang’s reputation and confidence.
• Despite his anger and hesitation, Zhang accepts Chen Shenxiao’s challenge in front of everyone.

Character Developments

• Chen Shenxiao: Demonstrates strategic maturity and confidence. Rather than confronting Zhang immediately, he uses Su Yuan to disrupt Zhang’s plans while arranging a decisive public battle for later. His calm provocation shows that he is no longer treating Zhang as an equal private rival but as someone he intends to defeat openly.
• Su Yuan: Displays complete confidence despite the enormous apparent gap between his cultivation and Zhang’s. He accepts the responsibility of blocking Zhang and suggests that his spear techniques may be strong enough to challenge the acknowledged spear genius.
• Zhang Yuzun: His arrogance and concern for reputation become increasingly evident. Though he boasts publicly, Chen’s challenge unsettles him because refusing would make him appear cowardly. He recognizes the sophistication of Chen’s scheme but is ultimately forced to accept.
• The surrounding cultivators: Their skepticism highlights Su Yuan’s surprising position. Most believe Zhang’s superior realm and reputation make Su Yuan’s victory nearly impossible, though some suspect Chen must have a reason for his confidence.

Significant Themes

• Public opinion as a weapon: Zhang tries to undermine Chen through repeated verbal attacks, showing that reputation can be as important as strength.

• Psychological warfare: Both sides attempt to control the narrative—Zhang through insults and victimhood, Chen through calculated provocation and public challenges.

Important Character Interactions

• Chen Shenxiao and Su Yuan: Chen entrusts Su Yuan with stopping Zhang and promises to confront Zhang himself afterward. Their exchange reveals strong mutual trust.
• Chen Shenxiao and Zhang Yuzun: Chen repeatedly provokes Zhang, first by dismissing him and then by challenging his courage. Their rivalry shifts from private competition to a public confrontation.

Chapter Summary: “Geniuses Gather, Entering the Legacy Site”

  • Two from the Divine Abyss Sacred Land
  • Two from the Sky-Shattering Hall
  • Two from the Severed Thought Pavilion
  • Two from the Azure-Purple War Academy
  • Two from the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance
  • Ten disciples from the Crimson Truth Pavilion
• Pavilion Master He Wenbai explains that the group will compete for the Crimson Venerable’s supreme martial art, the Heavenheart Crimson Chant Spear Technique.
• He reveals that the legacy space lies within a fiery red mist in the pavilion’s back mountain. Previous disciples failed to pass even the second trial, which tests spear technique speed and strength.
• The participants enter the legacy space in groups. The Crimson Truth Pavilion disciples go first, followed by the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance, Severed Thought Pavilion, Azure-Purple War Academy, Chen Shenxiao and Su Yuan, and finally Zhang Yuzun and Zhang Yongran.

Character Developments

• Zhang Yuzun displays intense confidence and competitiveness. He views the Heavenheart Crimson Chant Spear Technique as the key to defeating Chen Shenxiao and regards Su Yuan as an outsider who may be easily crushed in Radiant Vault Star.
• Chen Shenxiao remains calm and composed. He openly accepts Zhang Yuzun’s challenge and takes responsibility for guiding Su Yuan through the gathering of geniuses.
• Su Yuan is introduced to the major powers of Radiant Vault Star as a newcomer from the Divine Abyss Sacred Land. Though his exact realm is unclear to many observers, his association with Chen Shenxiao draws significant attention.
• He Wenbai is deeply invested in the legacy’s success. He hopes that, regardless of which participant claims the martial art, the Crimson Truth Pavilion will ultimately obtain it.
• Jiang Kaiyi and He Wenbai act cautiously around the powerful geniuses, fearful that tensions between Zhang Yuzun, Chen Shenxiao, and Su Yuan could erupt into violence.

Character Interactions

• Zhang Yuzun and Chen Shenxiao formally agree to duel after the legacy concludes.
• Chen Shenxiao warns Su Yuan about the participating geniuses, identifying their names, ages, cultivation levels, and relative spear mastery.
• He singles out Zhou Xinyan of the Upper Crimson Spear Alliance as the strongest among the six outside geniuses. Zhou and the others—Meng Yugan, Hu Mengyun, Liu Qi, Zhao Xianghai, and Yu Xiaoyi—are all at the Transcendence Realm, Mid-Stage.
• The surrounding disciples respectfully greet Chen Shenxiao as the “Little Immortal Saint,” reinforcing his prestigious status.
• Zhang Yuzun and Chen Shenxiao exchange a final brief challenge over who should enter first, with Chen entering before Zhang.

Significant Themes

• Competition among elites: The legacy draws the most talented young experts from several dominant factions, creating intense rivalry.
• Confidence versus uncertainty: Zhang Yuzun’s faith in the Crimson Venerable’s spear technique contrasts with the uncertainty surrounding Su Yuan’s true strength.
• Legacy and power: The chapter emphasizes how ancient inheritances and superior martial arts can reshape the balance of power.
• Status and hierarchy: Titles such as Little Immortal Saint and Little Venerable Saint reveal the importance of lineage, factional influence, and reputation.
• Cooperation amid rivalry: Although the participants compete individually, they enter under a temporary collective objective: helping the Crimson Truth Pavilion secure the Heavenheart Crimson Chant Spear Technique.
