Chen Qiu’s reputation spread through Mystic Heaven Province as the Northern Ridge Sect scrambled to revise its praise of him, while the Liu Family used a Mocking Heaven Sect token to fend off the Zhang Clan.

• The proprietor offered to take the Zhang Clan patriarch to the Sky Axe Sect Master to verify the token and warned him that the Mocking Heaven Sect now overshadowed every other force in Mystic Heaven Province.

The Sky Axe Sect’s sect master brought Chen Qiu an Image Recording Stone showing a Mocking Heaven Sect token found with the Liu Family, prompting Chen Qiu to investigate whether it belonged to an elder who had reached the Vast Continent thirty thousand years earlier. In Dodo City, Chen Qiu discovered a hidden Merit Golden House and learned it could connect to other houses across the Vast Continent.

• The Sky Axe Sect’s sect master detained the Zhang Clan ancestor and the Thornbush Shop’s manager while he sought the Mocking Heaven Sect’s guidance on the token, and Qiu’s Disciples concluded the two men could not be saved.
• Chen Qiu arranged to place the Demon-Subduing Pagoda in the Celestial Palace, outlined the Mocking Heaven Sect’s plans for cultivation and gathering resources, and set out to investigate the token with Fat Dragon.
• The Sky Axe Sect’s sect master showed Chen Qiu the token, and Chen Qiu decided to visit the Liu Family in person because it might have belonged to a Mocking Heaven Sect elder who had arrived thirty thousand years earlier.
• Above Dodo City, Chen Qiu spotted a wooden cabin that others could not see, approached it, and read the words “Merit Golden House” carved on its door.
• A heart-demon remover from the Heavenly Hall explained that people with nearly one hundred billion Merit Value could see the cabin and travel between Merit Golden Houses across the Vast Continent.

Chen Qiu visited a Merit Golden House and learned from its keeper about the first Mocking Heaven Sect transmigrators and their theories about Mystic Heaven Continent’s collapse. He suspected a powerful evil demon was sealed beneath Great Xia Kingdom and set out to find a way back, while the Zhang Clan patriarch’s attempt to plot against him was overheard.

• The old woman recounted that Mystic Heaven Continent’s collapse had brought the first transmigrators, and that the Mocking Heaven Sect Master had led survivors into a sturdy Minor World.

• The Liu Family’s patriarch and his daughter prayed for the Mocking Heaven Sect Elder Token to protect them from the Zhang Clan, while the daughter offered to sacrifice herself for her family.
• Aboard Chen Qiu’s flying boat, the Zhang Clan patriarch privately suggested assassinating Chen Qiu, but the Thornbush Shop manager’s reaction revealed that Chen Qiu had heard him.

Chen Qiu visited the Liu Family in Handsome Men City, confirmed their Mocking Heaven Sect Elder Token was genuine, and spared the Zhang Clan after the Liu Family eldest daughter asked for compensation instead of extermination. As he left Dodo City, he discovered the old woman in the Merit Golden House had been murdered and confronted the Mystic Heaven Sect Saintess, warning her not to target the Liu Family.

• Chen Qiu entered Handsome Men City with the Zhang Clan Patriarch trailing behind and went to the Liu Family, where the family presented him with a Mocking Heaven Sect Elder Token.
• Chen Qiu asked the Liu Family eldest daughter how to deal with the Zhang Clan; she requested compensation rather than extermination, and he let the families negotiate.

• As Chen Qiu passed Dodo City on his return journey, he saw that the old woman in the Merit Golden House had been hanged and suspected the Mystic Heaven Sect Saintess had killed her.
• Chen Qiu ordered Fat Dragon to return to the Celestial Palace, but then appeared at the Merit Golden House and warned the Mystic Heaven Sect Saintess not to harm the Liu Family, asking if she had been planning to kill him.

Chen Qiu defeated the Mystic Heaven Sect Saintess, claimed the Celestial Palace, and added new cultivation boosts as he prepared to plunder spirit stones from powerful families. After leading the Sky Axe Sect Master to the Bai Family, he formed a physical Mystic Heaven Throne and looked forward to cultivating at vastly increased speed.

• Chen Qiu blasted the Merit Golden House with lightning, survived the Saintess’s Merit Attack Token by escaping their minor world, and left her trapped there after inventing a claim about the old woman knowing her identity.
• Chen Qiu inspected the surviving Merit Golden House, returned to the Celestial Palace, and began cultivating, gaining 3.3% progress in the First Level of the Void Refinement Realm after twelve hours.
• Over the following days, Chen Qiu’s fame spread across the Mystic Heaven Province while he cultivated, and the Celestial Palace Shackles dissipated, allowing him to claim the palace outright.
• Chen Qiu placed the Chicken-and-Dog Ascension Domain Totem in the Demon-Subduing Pagoda, then asked the Sky Axe Sect Master to take him to factions whose Void Refinement Peak experts he had killed so he could acquire spirit stones.
• Chen Qiu’s group attacked the Bai Family, and Chen Qiu used a Thread of Imperial Fortune to create a physical Mystic Heaven Throne that granted a tenfold cultivation-speed bonus.

Chen Qiu collected the Bai Family’s wealth and discovered its Trait Compendium, then ordered the Sky Axe Sect Master to gather similar records from other established factions. The Mocking Heaven Sect arrived at the Female Sword Sect, where Chen Qiu’s thunderous attack nearly destroyed its protective formation.

• Fat Dragon gave Chen Qiu the Bai Family’s treasury goods, and Chen Qiu rewarded the Sky Axe Sect Master with a share of the proceeds from liquidating its assets.

• Chen Qiu unleashed hundreds of thousands of Thunder Dragons on the Female Sword Sect’s protective formation, leaving it riddled with holes and the sect badly damaged.

Chen Qiu’s group raided the Female Sword Sect and found the Buddhist Sect already under attack, then continued toward the Dao Sect while planning a civil visit for forces that were not their enemies. The Fate Sect prepared for Chen Qiu’s arrival, but his flying ship passed it by, leaving the Dao Sect as the next target.

• Fat Dragon and the Mocking Heaven Sect disciples descended on the Female Sword Sect after Chen Qiu’s lightning strike, and the Sky Axe Sect Master helped them finish the raid.
• The group returned with 570,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones from the Female Sword Sect, and Chen Qiu examined its Trait Compendium before choosing the Buddhist Sect as their next target.
• Chen Qiu drove off the two sects attacking the Buddhist Sect, raided what remained, and ordered a wanted notice for the Buddhist Sect’s escaped leaders.
• Chen Qiu skipped the allied Sky Axe Sect and decided to visit the Fate Sect and Dao Sect, treating the Fate Sect as a possible civil visit and the Dao Sect as a martial one.
• The Fate Sect Supreme Elder asked the Cao Family head whether Chen Qiu would come, but Chen Qiu’s group passed over the Fate Sect without stopping and continued toward the Dao Sect.

The Mocking Heaven Sect visited the heavily fortified Dao Sect, and Fat Dragon negotiated a massive payment in Spirit Stones. The Dao Sect Master adapted quickly, earning Chen Qiu’s favor and a promise of protection, while Chen Qiu left wondering how else he could help the sect.

• The Sky Axe Sect Master explained the Dao Sect’s strength and wealth to Fat Dragon as they approached its mountain, where the Dao Sect Master had activated its many formations.
• Fat Dragon presented a fruit basket, but after the Dao Sect Master initially protested, he threatened to call for a massacre; the Dao Sect Master accepted the basket and offered a return gift.
• The Dao Sect sent nearly a hundred Brown Bears carrying Spirit Stones to the Mocking Heaven Sect, while the Sky Axe Sect Master urged his old friend to cooperate and build ties with Fat Dragon.
• The Dao Sect Master bought fifteen hundred spirit fruits for one thousand Spirit Stones each, and Chen Qiu gave him a chessboard treasure and a Mocking Heaven Sect Token promising protection.
• The Mocking Heaven Sect left the Dao Sect, whose members waved them off; the Dao Sect Master planned to profit from new formation contracts after Chen Qiu promised to destroy nearby sects’ formations.
• On the flying boat, Chen Qiu asked how else they could help the Dao Sect after receiving its Spirit Stones and the payment for the spirit fruits.

Chen Qiu’s Heaven Patrol continued as the Mocking Heaven Sect collected Spirit Stones, promoted the Dao Sect, and destroyed sect-protecting arrays across Mystic Heaven Province. After the Northern Ridge Sect agreed to advertise the Dao Sect, the Fate Sect’s Supreme Elder arrived at the Dao Sect seeking help rebuilding its array.

• The Dao Sect’s Sect Master gave Chen Qiu 1.5 million Spirit Stones, and Chen Qiu gifted him a treasure before directing Fat Dragon to publicize the Dao Sect through the Mystic Heaven Daily.
• Chen Qiu’s party destroyed the mountain-guarding arrays of eight forces, bypassed the Northern Ridge Sect at first, and spared a small sect whose master was too terrified to activate its array.
• The Northern Ridge Sect welcomed Chen Qiu’s party and gave Fat Dragon 150,000 Spirit Stones; the Sky Axe Sect’s Sect Master revealed that the Dao Sect had given ten times as much.
• The Northern Ridge Sect’s Sect Master realized he had to promote the Dao Sect generously in the Mystic Heaven Daily, while the Dao Sect’s Sect Master displayed Chen Qiu’s chessboard gift as proof of his favor.
• The Fate Sect’s Supreme Elder arrived at the Dao Sect seeking help rebuilding its destroyed array, and the Dao Sect’s Sect Master prepared to receive her personally.

Chen Qiu led the Mocking Heaven Sect and the Dragon Race into collective seclusion at the Bai Family ruins, where Ao Tian survived his Void Refinement Tribulation and Chen Qiu advanced to the Second Level of the Void Refinement Realm. Chen Qiu gained a new trait choice and discovered that Divine Hand could help him obtain a trait tailored to his wishes.

• The Fate Sect's white-haired old woman visited the Dao Sect Master, who flaunted his ties to the Mocking Heaven Sect before directing her to an elder to discuss her sect's formation.
• Chen Qiu's group reached the Bai Family ruins, set up the Celestial Palace, and began collective seclusion with the Dragon Race while the Brown Bear Clan maintained the Spirit-Gathering Array.
• Chen Qiu had a gagged Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Heaven-Aligned Sect dragged away after recalling that the man had called him an ant.
• Ao Tian endured his One-Nine Void Refinement Tribulation without using spirit treasures and entered the Void Refinement Realm, though the tribulation shattered his scales and badly wounded him.
• Chen Qiu entered seclusion and reached the Second Level of the Void Refinement Realm in less than thirty days.
• Chen Qiu received three trait options, chose Divine Hand, and realized he could use it to obtain a Supreme Grade Trait tailored to his wishes.

Chen Qiu recorded a new random trait, inspected a mysterious tunnel beneath the Mocking Heaven Sect, and resumed cultivation after reaching the Third Layer of Void Refinement. Meanwhile, the Dao Sect gambled its foundations on Chen Qiu winning the Sole King title, while the Beast Taming Sect Master asked Xiao Yue to help Zhang Kui’s struggling array shop borrow Chen Qiu’s fame.

• Chen Qiu rerolled a trait, discovered Occult Immortal, chose Divine Hand, and recorded the new trait for Scholar’s Trait Compendium.
• The Young Chief of the Brown Bears reported a mysterious tunnel beneath the Mocking Heaven Sect, which Chen Qiu could neither perceive nor investigate and decided to examine after seclusion.
• The Dao Sect’s array disk sales surged after the Mystic Heaven Daily promoted them using Chen Qiu’s reputation, and the Dao Sect Master ordered a massive expansion funded by selling ancestral foundations.
• The Dao Sect Master persuaded the elders to gamble on Chen Qiu winning the Sole King title and ordered them to prepare for business across all twelve province-lands.
• After thirty more days of cultivation, Chen Qiu reached the Third Layer of Void Refinement, wondered why he had received no Thunder Tribulation, and resumed seclusion.
• The Beast Taming Sect Master asked Xiao Yue to borrow Chen Qiu’s fame for Zhang Kui’s failing array shop, but Xiao Yue refused because it could bring trouble.

Liu Zide turned Chen Qiu’s name into a wildly profitable array-plate business for the Dao Sect, while Chen Qiu learned of its success and advanced to Void Refinement Fourth Layer. The Dao Sect’s rise left the Sky Axe Sect Master demanding a share of the profits, while Chen Qiu resumed cultivating and considered using Liu Zide’s talents to spread his fame further.

• Xiao Yue explained that Chen Qiu’s reputation drove demand for the Dao Sect’s useless blessing array plates, which cultivators bought eagerly despite their lack of practical effect.
• Liu Zide advised the Dao Sect Master to restrict supply, promote rare lettering colors, and spend heavily on publicity, prompting the Dao Sect to expand its business and recruit disciples.
• Chen Qiu received Liu Zide’s report, learned the Dao Sect had earned eight million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and considered making it his publicity team.
• Chen Qiu reached Void Refinement Fourth Layer, worried about the Dao Sect burning through Spirit Stones, and sent Liu Zide a private request to spend more cautiously.
• The Young Chief of the Brown Bears proudly guarded the Celestial Palace and anticipated more visitors, while the Sky Axe Sect Master confronted the Dao Sect Master and demanded a share of his success.

Liu Zide offered the Sky Axe Sect Master a way to join the Dao Sect’s profitable plans, while the chapter revealed why Peaceful Prefecture’s Qin had seized the Pingxi throne despite his unstable combat strength. After killing two Integrated Body Peak Stage opponents in a burst of power, Qin feared he would die in the coming Sole King Contest and searched for a way out.

• The Dao Sect Master introduced Liu Zide to the Sky Axe Sect Master as the strategist behind the Dao Sect’s recent expansion, and Liu Zide offered to help the Sky Axe Sect share in an upcoming venture.
• In Pingxi Province, Peaceful Prefecture’s ancestor Qin regretted claiming the Pingxi throne because his random combat Traits made his strength fluctuate wildly and the Sole King Contest was approaching.
• Qin recalled how a fairy had granted him the Fairy’s First Night and Divine Hand Traits, allowing him to build a powerful set of random combat Traits and rise to Integrated Body Middle Stage.
• After Fairy’s First Night stopped working, Qin’s luck declined, but a rare day of maximum enhancements let him kill two Integrated Body Peak Stage challengers with his Three Purities World-Extinguishing Strike and claim the Pingxi throne.
• Qin realized most of his Traits had turned negative and concluded that he would likely die in the Sole King Contest unless he could improve his luck or give up the throne.

Chen Qiu advanced to the Fifth Layer of Void Refinement and chose a Supreme-Grade trait that let him travel between lower-rank continents and gain cultivation speed by spreading his name. He sent Liu Zide and the Dao Sect Master to promote him across the other eleven continents while the Sky Axe Sect Master took over their Mystic Heaven Province operations.

• The white-haired old man regretted spending his lifespan recklessly and worried about making the Pingxi King yield his position before the Sole King contest.
• After more than 120 days of seclusion, Chen Qiu broke through to the Fifth Layer of Void Refinement and received a choice among Supreme-Grade traits.

• Chen Qiu ordered Liu Zide, the Dao Sect Master, and the Sky Axe Sect Master to prepare a campaign to spread his name across the other eleven continents, assigning the local operation to the Sky Axe Sect Master.
• The Dao Sect Master agreed to hand over the Mystic Heaven Province operation after the Sky Axe Sect Master promised not to oppose his relationship with the Sky Axe Sect Master's elder sister.

Chen Qiu sent Liu Zide and the Dao Sect Master’s group to Pingxi Continent, where Liu Zide received the promise of becoming the Mocking Heaven Sect’s Fourth Elder if he succeeded. After visiting the Lower-Rank Continents and gaining a huge cultivation-speed increase, Chen Qiu considered how far the continent hierarchy might extend, while the ancestor of Peaceful Prefecture headed to Pingxi Continent to escape the Pingxi Throne without dying.

• Zhang Qing told Liu Zide how his friendship with Lao Kui began, why they became estranged, and how Zhang Qing’s love for Lao Kui’s sister was affected by her Fallen Immortal Physique trait.
• Chen Qiu accepted three million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones through the Young Chief of the Brown Bears, then took the Dao Sect Master’s group to Pingxi Continent and left them there for a month-long mission.
• Chen Qiu promised Liu Zide that he would become the Mocking Heaven Sect’s Fourth Elder if he handled eight of the eleven provinces well, and Liu Zide ordered the group to find a nearby city and gather information.
• Chen Qiu visited the remaining Lower-Rank Continents, gained a hundred-and-tenfold cultivation-speed increase, and speculated that higher continent tiers could multiply it further.
• The ancestor of Peaceful Prefecture resolved to leave the Pingxi Throne by traveling to Pingxi Continent and using a passage to the Yin Realm to arrange his return without losing his life.

Liu Zide’s team tried to make Chen Qiu famous across Pingxi Continent, while Chen Qiu broke through to the Sixth Layer of Void Refinement and chose the Ant Carrying a Hammer Trait. The chapter ended with Chen Qiu considering ways to use the immortal ant for scouting, protection, or delivering messages.

• The Young Chief of the Brown Bears guarded the Celestial Palace as Chen Qiu’s cultivation consumed over fifty thousand Spirit Stones each day.
• Liu Zide rejected the plan to use storytellers to recount Chen Qiu’s achievements and instead had them chant Chen Qiu’s name across Pingxi Continent.
• When the name-chants had little effect, Liu Zide ordered the Dao Sect Master to rob powers across the continent in Chen Qiu’s name and spread stories of his supposed atrocities.
• Chen Qiu broke through to the Sixth Layer of Void Refinement and received three Traits: Ant Carrying a Hammer, Certain Hit, and Bridal Chamber Candles.
• After rerolling Otherworld Flower, Chen Qiu chose Ant Carrying a Hammer because it had no drawbacks and summoned an immortal ant that could ignore restraints and formations.
• Chen Qiu summoned the ant and considered using it as a scout, a shield, or a messenger.

Chen Qiu returned Liu Zide and his group from Pingxi Continent, then broke through to the Seventh Layer of Void Refinement and forged a Twelfth-Grade External Incarnation. The chapter ended as a Heavenly Dao Edict announced Chen Qiu’s name across the Vast Continent.

• Chen Qiu summoned Liu Zide and his group back after they raised his Far-Reaching Fame cultivation bonus by twentyfold through spreading a bad reputation in Pingxi Continent and gathering wealth.
• Liu Zide reported that the group had sent fruit baskets, collected more than four hundred thousand pieces of Manifest Spirit, and might have angered powerful lineages; Chen Qiu sent them to another Lower-Rank Continent to continue their work.
• Chen Qiu ignored news of a nearby cave abode trial and continued cultivating until he reached the Seventh Layer of Void Refinement, then chose the Pink Trait Twelve Volumes of Military Records, Every Volume Bears My Father's Name after rerolling Immortality.
• Chen Qiu reviewed the requirements for External Incarnations and used one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, Peerless Fortune of Heaven's Chosen, and Heavenly Dao Fortune to forge a Twelfth-Grade External Incarnation.
• A Heavenly Dao Edict resounded across the Vast Continent and announced Chen Qiu’s name.

Chen Qiu forged a Twelfth-Grade External Incarnation, triggering his twelve Milestone Mission statues to raise it to Twenty-Fourth Grade and granting former mission-takers upgrades to their Body Integration Killing Arts. As Xian Yi feared the threat Chen Qiu posed to the throne contest, the Peaceful Prefecture Patriarch received the return of his Fairy’s First Night trait.

• The Heavenly Dao Edict announced that Chen Qiu had forged the first Twelfth-Grade External Incarnation on the Vast Continent, startling cultivators across the provinces.
• Chen Qiu’s twelve Celestial Palace statues shattered and replayed his Milestone Mission achievements, raising his External Incarnation from Twelfth to Twenty-Fourth Grade.
• Xian Yi’s two Milestone Mission statues shattered and raised his Body Integration Killing Art from Ninth to Eleventh Grade, but he feared Chen Qiu’s new power and hoped Chen Qiu would not reach Body Integration before the Sole King battle.
• Former Milestone Mission holders across the provinces realized Chen Qiu’s achievement had triggered their own upgrades and kept the Twenty-Fourth-Grade opportunity secret.
• The Peaceful Prefecture Patriarch watched from Pingxi Province after relinquishing the Pingxi Throne and avoiding the Mocking Heaven Sect’s visit by staying hidden.
• A barefoot fairy visited the Peaceful Prefecture Patriarch, restored his Fairy’s First Night Red Trait, and told him the karmic ties with his lineage were severed.

The Peaceful Prefecture ancestor regained the Fairy's First Night trait but chose to avoid contending for the Sole King, while Chen Qiu learned how a powerful Rainbow Trait could upgrade a cultivator’s foundations. After Pingxi Continent vanished and the Heavenly Dao warned that the Vast Continent would collapse within ten thousand years, Chen Qiu and the continent’s inhabitants faced an uncertain future.

• The Peaceful Prefecture ancestor regained the Fairy's First Night trait, realized he could contend for the Sole King again, and decided he would rather stay safe.
• Chen Qiu questioned the Buddhist Sect ancestor about Heavenly Dao Apex and learned that its temporary version only fulfilled the prerequisite for a Ten-Rank Nascent Soul.
• Chen Qiu returned to secluded cultivation, while Young Master Qi and White Crane Daoist remained trapped in spiritless Minor Worlds.
• The Heavenly Dao Edict announced that Pingxi Continent and all its inhabitants had vanished, and warned that the Vast Continent would gradually collapse within ten thousand years.
• A Foundation Establishment cultivator dismissed the threat as distant, while tavern owner Wang Jiu, who possessed the Immortality trait, worried that he would outlive the continent.

Chen Qiu reasoned that the destruction of low-grade continents could bring down the entire stacked world, then reached the Void Refinement Eighth Layer and rerolled one of his new Traits. The chapter left him staring in bafflement at the strange replacement Trait.

• Wang Jiu accepted that his immortality could not help him avert the world's destruction, while Zhang Kui and the Beast Taming Sect's sect master discussed the threat in Cloud City.
• July Cat trusted that Chen Qiu could resolve the crisis because she had watched his rise, even as she continued to hide beneath the table.
• Chen Qiu inferred that low-grade continents supported the higher continents and suspected that people from High-Grade Continents were trying to repair collapsing worlds, but he could not recover the Mystic Heaven Sect Saintess he had exiled.
• A white-haired old man mourned Pingxi Continent's destruction, while Young Master Qi remained trapped in a Minor World and blamed Chen Qiu for his desperate isolation.
• Chen Qiu broke through to the Void Refinement Eighth Layer, rejected Time Freeze and Purple Qi Surging, and prepared to choose Oxen and Horses in Herds.
• Chen Qiu rerolled the third Trait with Fortune Approaches and was left baffled by the strange replacement.

Chen Qiu chose the Oxen and Horses in Herds trait before a continent-wide Heavenly Dao change introduced trait comment sections and warned that Grade 3 continents had begun collapsing. While exploring the comments, he discovered that Dantian Expansion (Unique) was unique across all continents and earned Human Prodigy Fortune for posting first, then found new trait-combination ideas and a lively community of cultivators.

• Chen Qiu rejected Nightly Revelry as unsuitable and selected Oxen and Horses in Herds.
• A Heavenly Dao Edict announced comment sections for Red Traits and below, Series Traits and related realms, new immortal abodes, and the collapse of continents as high as Grade 3.
• Chen Qiu read the Self-Destruct Trait comments and realized that Dantian Expansion (Unique) was unique across all continents.
• Chen Qiu received a wisp of Human Prodigy Fortune for being first to comment on Dantian Expansion (Unique), but found the comment section for Exquisite-Grade Lightning Dharma Physique already full.
• Chen Qiu found comments describing Ant Carrying a Hammer trapping cultivators with Slippery as an Eel and Fearless of Life and Death, as well as using an ant to strike a wooden fish for cultivation progress and Merit Value.
• Chen Qiu considered the ant-based trait combinations and the wooden-fish method, feeling less alone after seeing others with similar traits.

Chen Qiu learned about the Heavenly Dao’s new Series Traits and resumed cultivating, while changes across the Great Xia Kingdom and higher continents revealed growing dangers and new opportunities. The chapter ended with Chen Qiu reaching the Ninth Layer of Void Refinement and preparing to choose his final Void Refinement Trait.

• Chen Qiu reviewed the Heavenly Dao update, learned that Series Traits could be upgraded, and asked the Sky Axe Sect Master to notify him of any nearby Series-Trait Secret Realm.
• The Fat City Lord and Flying Fish City Lord struggled to contain freezing air spreading from the Boundless Ice Wastes, then learned that Xia Xundao had reached the Nascent Soul Realm and removed Great Xia’s Nascent Soul shackle.
• The Wang Family head used his Weird Buddha to sacrifice a severed cock and obtain a Nascent Soul Body, while the statue grew more ferocious as Fierce Baleful Wood accumulated nearby.
• A mutated youth on Qi Tian Continent learned of Chen Qiu’s cultivation and resolved to challenge him, boasting that he possessed a Fifteenth-Grade Body Integration Killing Move.
• After cultivating for more than a month, Chen Qiu reached the Ninth Layer of Void Refinement and prepared to select his last Trait in that realm.

After reaching the Ninth Layer of Void Refinement, Chen Qiu gained the chance to choose new traits and discovered a path to assemble the Heavenly Dao Trait Set “Grand Nine.” He chose “Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine Trait” and hurried to the Heavenly Hall’s Trait Prize Pool to pursue the set.

• Chen Qiu used “Oxen and Horses in Herds” on Little Ant, which gained “Tenfold Casting”; he discovered the trait made the ant swing its hammer ten times faster.
• Chen Qiu considered “Devour the Starry Sky” but rejected it, rerolled it, and received “Digital Life,” which granted an extra trait selection; he chose nine.
• The new selection offered “Nine Oxen and Two Tigers,” “Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine Trait,” and “Ninefold Casting”; Chen Qiu learned that collecting four-of-a-kind number traits could complete the Heavenly Dao Trait Set “Grand Nine.”
• Chen Qiu used “Fortune Approaches” to reroll “Nine Oxen and Two Tigers,” saw “Strength of Nine Oxen,” and dismissed it.
• Chen Qiu realized “Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine Trait” could help him find the remaining traits through the Trait Prize Pool, chose it, and ordered the Sky Axe Sect Master to gather information about Heavenly Dao Trait Sets.
• Chen Qiu left the Celestial Palace and flew toward the Heavenly Hall to use the Trait Prize Pool.

Chen Qiu began collecting the four-in-a-row Heavenly Dao traits for the Grand Nine set by drawing at Heavenly Hall, while the Sky Axe Sect’s sect master investigated new traits for him. After several days of draws, Chen Qiu prepared to use Human Prodigy Fortune and try the other prize pools.

• Chen Qiu returned to Heavenly Hall, drew the One-One-One-One Trait on his second attempt, and chose not to activate its harmful effect.
• Chen Qiu resumed cultivating at the inn and considered sending Liu Zide across many continents to gather resources and spread the Mocking Heaven Sect’s name.
• The Sky Axe Sect’s sect master obtained the Lightning Encirclement Series Trait and prepared to present it to Chen Qiu.
• Chen Qiu drew the Two-Two-Two-Two Trait on his eighth attempt, gaining an extra trait choice at each major realm breakthrough.
• Chen Qiu drew Four Four Four Four on the third day, bringing his collection to four traits with four identical consecutive numbers.
• On the fourth day, Chen Qiu arrived planning to use Human Prodigy Fortune and draw from the other prize pools.

Chen Qiu completed the Grand Nine Heavenly Dao Trait Set after collecting the Eight-Eight-Eight-Eight Trait, becoming the first cultivator on the Vast Continent to create a Heavenly Dao Trait Set. He received the special Red Trait Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten and learned more about the many trait sets across the continents.

• Chen Qiu used Human Prodigy Fortune to draw six treasures, including the Purple Trait Ninefold Casting, then spent several days buying traits with Spirit Stones.
• Chen Qiu obtained the Eight-Eight-Eight-Eight Trait and combined it with his other eight repeated-digit traits to form Grand Nine.
• The Heavenly Dao announced Chen Qiu's achievement, awarded him a Heavenly Dao Trait Compendium fragment and Heavenly Dao Fortune, and revealed Grand Nine's effects, including the special Red Trait Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten.
• Chen Qiu found that Grand Nine doubled the effects of his first eight traits and raised the grade of his Body Integration Killing Art by one.
• Chen Qiu read the unlocked trait comments and the Compendium fragment, learning about the Thousand-Hand Guanyin and Immortal at the Bottom of the Well sets, as well as the broader rules and rarity of Heavenly Dao Trait Sets.
