Ch. 681A Mighty Being Makes His Move

Key plot points and events

  • Huo Yan realizes Sage Tuyun is targeting Gao Jing and urges his disciple to flee, despite knowing he cannot challenge a Sage himself.
  • Gao Jing leaves the Radiant Wizard Tower on the Golden-Feathered Griffin in full view, deliberately avoiding the Copper Anchor’s teleportation ability so Tuyun will not turn his attention toward Huo Yan.
  • After flying far beyond the City of Ten Thousand Kings, Gao Jing dismisses the Griffin and waits in the wilderness, choosing to confront Tuyun rather than immediately escape.
  • Tuyun appears and overwhelms Gao Jing with his Holy Domain, a force that suppresses both his physical power and his soul. He attacks with a colossal, lightning-wreathed palm.
  • Gao Jing escapes at the last instant by using the Copper Anchor’s Planar Teleportation to return to the Main World. The escape nearly empties the Anchor’s stored faith power—95% is consumed—and leaves Gao Jing physically drained.

Character developments and interactions

  • Huo Yan shows his loyalty and conscience: though afraid of provoking Tuyun, he refuses to betray his disciple and helps Gao Jing leave.
  • Gao Jing repays Huo Yan’s kindness by making his departure conspicuous, drawing Tuyun away from the wizard and accepting danger himself. His anger and courage also lead him to wait for Tuyun rather than flee at once.
  • Sage Tuyun is revealed as an overwhelming, ruthless pursuer who attacks without negotiation. His surprise at Gao Jing’s escape suggests he did not anticipate the Copper Anchor’s power.

Significant themes

  • Loyalty and gratitude: Gao Jing risks himself to protect the teacher who helped him; Huo Yan acts according to his conscience despite the danger.
  • Power and vulnerability: Gao Jing’s strength is insignificant beside a Sage’s Holy Domain, making his survival depend on a rare escape ability.
  • The cost of defiance: Gao Jing escapes, but the near-exhaustion of the Copper Anchor’s faith power leaves him with a sharply limited resource for what comes next.

Ch. 682A Major Deal

Plot points and events

  • After three days of recovering from his encounter with Sage Tuyun, Gao Jing returns to full strength, more resilient and clearer about the danger posed by beings beyond Legendary.
  • He approaches Zhao Xingguo with an extraordinary proposal: he wants the authorities to provide a “Big Ivan”-class weapon to use against a powerful enemy in another world.
  • At a secret meeting with the country’s top leaders, Gao Jing explains that his enemy is too strong for the weapons he received previously. He reveals that he possesses a Great World and offers to develop it jointly with the country, promising to help make their homeland the world’s most powerful nation.
  • Gao Jing gives the leaders recordings from the other world. After reviewing his proposal, they agree in principle but need six months to build the requested weapon. Gao Jing accepts the delay and signs a secret agreement.
  • Back in Shanghai, Gao Jing works with Ji Yu and Qin Qing to expand the Charity Foundation tenfold. Its greatly increased charitable spending generates enough Faith Power to fill the Copper Anchor’s Faith Pool, triggering another upgrade.
  • The Copper Anchor gains its fifth and final faith star, which Gao Jing names the Longevity Star. While its starlight burns, it can sustain his life.

Character developments and interactions

  • Gao Jing’s encounter with Sage Tuyun has strengthened his resolve. Rather than simply hide from the threat, he wants to confront it and prevent danger from reaching Huo Yan or the Mountain Tribe.
  • He shows both confidence and strategic openness: he reveals his greatest secret to the leaders and proposes cooperation instead of keeping the Great World’s potential entirely to himself.
  • Zhao Xingguo is initially stunned by the scale of Gao Jing’s request but faithfully carries it to his superiors.
  • The national leaders are shocked by Gao Jing’s revelation, yet respond cautiously and pragmatically, choosing negotiation and cooperation rather than coercion.
  • During his stay in Capital City, Gao Jing spends affectionate, peaceful time with Zhong Yunxiu.

Significant themes

  • Courage and responsibility: Gao Jing refuses to rely on hiding when others may be endangered.
  • Cooperation and national development: He offers access to the Great World in exchange for a partnership that could benefit his country.
  • Power and survival: Faith Power’s practical value becomes clear, and the Longevity Star offers Gao Jing a new means of extending his life.
