Chapter Summaries

Chen Qiu struggled with the Spirit Stone costs of Body Integration cultivation while a Body Integration cultivator on Qi Tian Continent used a Weird Buddha to gain Prodigy Fortune. On the eve of securing the Mystic Heaven Throne, Chen Qiu spent his remaining reserves trying to finish his cultivation progress.

• Chen Qiu abandoned a powerful attack to avoid destroying the Lower-Rank Continent, returned Liu Zide and the others to Mystic Heaven Province, and sent his Traveling Frog to another continent.
• Chen Qiu gave more than 1.5 million Spirit Stones to Xiong Gao and began cultivating, only to find that Body Integration cultivation consumed at least 50,000 Spirit Stones a day.
• On Qi Tian Continent, a middle-aged Body Integration cultivator sacrificed his own flesh and blood to a Weird Buddha and received a wisp of Prodigy Fortune.
• The middle-aged man used his ant to strike a wooden fish and generate Merit Value, while worrying that repeated use of the Weird Buddha might unleash something dangerous.
• In Great Xia Kingdom, the Wang Family Patriarch stockpiled five million pieces of Fierce Baleful Wood and tried to revive his weakening Weird Buddha with incense and a fire.
• A month later, Chen Qiu had reached 49.6% cultivation progress, spent his initial Spirit Stones without advancing a minor realm, and used up his hidden reserves to keep cultivating.

After becoming King of Mystic Heaven, Chen Qiu entered a hidden passage in the Minor World to investigate the source of Little Wolf’s rapid cultivation. Meanwhile, the Dragon Race patriarch and the Bai Family prepared to approach Chen Qiu with gifts once the Province-Land Shackles were lifted.

• Chen Qiu reached the Second Layer of the Body Integration Realm, then learned from Xiong Gao that it was time to retrieve Liu Zide and the others from the Lower-Rank Continent.
• After two months of limited Spirit Stone income, Chen Qiu heard the Heavenly Dao Edict declare him King of Mystic Heaven and learned he could enter the Minor World again.
• Xiong Gao told Chen Qiu about a carved underground passage, and Chen Qiu discovered that Little Wolf had reached the Early Void Refinement Realm after exploring it.
• Chen Qiu concluded that Little Wolf had found an opportunity in the passage, cut away the urine-stained entrance, and began exploring its depths with Xiong Gao.
• The Dragon Race patriarch prepared gifts for Chen Qiu and the dragon hatchlings, while the eldest daughter of the Bai Family considered testing Chen Qiu’s reaction by having a young Aristocratic Clan master offer him Spirit Stones.

Chen Qiu discovered a hidden Mocking Heaven Sect treasury and an underground plaza where nearly ten thousand disciples had been preserved after taking poison. As he sat in the vacant leader’s chair, the disciples awakened and hailed him as their Sect Master.

• Chen Qiu followed Little Wolf’s tracks to an Azure Stone Plaza and found hidden chambers containing pills, Spirit Stones, and Spirit Transformation-grade treasures.
• Chen Qiu pressed the final symbol on the wall, opening the plaza floor and revealing nearly ten thousand preserved Mocking Heaven Sect disciples below.
• Chen Qiu examined the dead disciples and concluded they had taken poison and been prepared for a future revival; he decided to take the treasury despite Xiong Gao’s concern.
• Chen Qiu found a vacant chair at the front of the disciples and sat in it while considering whether the original sect master had already revived and left.
• The disciples opened their eyes, knelt before Chen Qiu, and greeted him as Sect Master, declaring that the sin belonged to this generation and the merit would endure for a thousand autumns.

Chen Qiu explored the underground palace beneath Azure Stone Plaza, uncovered the Mocking Heaven Sect’s preparations for revival, and took its hidden wealth. He then suspected the sect had devised a way for transmigrators to evade the Heavenly Dao, and left the buried seniors’ Spirit Stones on the understanding that he had only borrowed them.

• Chen Qiu pressed a button that made the former Mocking Heaven Sect disciples kneel and chant, then concluded that their movements and voices came from mechanisms rather than revival.
• Chen Qiu inferred that the first sect master had revived as a mortal, become trapped when the underground palace’s exit mechanism failed, and died in despair.
• Chen Qiu searched the underground palace, found signs that someone had smashed its porcelain shelves, then returned to Azure Stone Plaza and collected the secret chambers’ treasures, including eleven million Spirit Stones.
• Xiong Gao suggested that the sect master’s wife had severed the exit mechanism before leaving, and Chen Qiu considered that she might have been a long-lived member of the Dragon Race.
• Chen Qiu theorized that the Mocking Heaven Sect had forged bodies for transmigrators to avoid the Heavenly Dao’s hostility, and that its dead members might have been trying to switch accounts.
• Chen Qiu called the Spirit Stones a loan and told the buried seniors he would return them if they came looking for him.

After returning to the Celestial Palace with Xiong Gao, Chen Qiu chose the trait Steal with Ease after a hundred rerolls and distributed his spoils. He then gave Little Ant the Pink Trait Sky-Piercing Giant, planning to grow it into an indestructible shield that would cover his defensive weakness.

• Chen Qiu returned from the Minor World with Xiong Gao, gave him Spirit Stones to replenish the Spirit-Gathering Array, and began inspecting his new trait choices.
• Chen Qiu rerolled traits a hundred times and selected the Blue Trait Steal with Ease, which would let him take all three traits during a future choice.
• Chen Qiu sorted his treasures, gave pills to Xiong Gao to test on the Brown Bear Clan, and distributed Spirit Transformation spiritual treasures to the Mocking Heaven Sect disciples.
• Chen Qiu found two summoned-creature Trait Jade Slips and gave Little Ant the Blue Trait Triple Casting.
• Chen Qiu discovered that the other slip granted the Pink Trait Sky-Piercing Giant, which increased Little Ant's height for every demonic beast it killed.
• Chen Qiu gave Little Ant Sky-Piercing Giant and ordered Xiong Gao to gather demonic beasts so Little Ant could grow into an enormous defensive shield.

July Cat wondered whether her extra life was her last while Li Xiuhua and Xian Yi became kings of their provinces. After Xian Yi fled to the Land of Eternal Life and learned how powerful Chen Qiu had become, Old Cao took him to Great Xia Kingdom, where they discovered a supernatural cold threatening Chen Qiu’s hometown.

• July Cat recounted her nine deaths, settled into life as an orange cat at Beast Taming Sect, and hoped Chen Qiu would leave Mystic Heaven Province.
• Li Xiuhua became King of Heaven-Rending Province and revealed that her Name of Curses trait could lower the grade of opponents’ Body Integration Killing Arts.

• Old Cao met Xian Yi, learned how much Chen Qiu had accomplished, and invited him to visit Chen Qiu’s hometown in Great Xia Kingdom.
• Old Cao and Xian Yi arrived at the Boundless Ice Wastes, where Xian Yi felt a supernatural cold and Old Cao warned that something might soon emerge from the freezing wind.

After Old Cao took Xian Yi to Windward City, the chapter introduced transmigrators Wang Zhenyi and Liu San, who discussed Chen Qiu’s fame and Liu San’s unsuccessful retelling of Four Children's Garden Excursion. Chen Qiu reached the Integrated Body Fourth Layer and triggered a three-in-one Supreme-Grade trait selection that began drawing Heaven-and-Earth Power from Qi Tian Continent, prompting the Bai Family head to seek an alliance with him.

• Old Cao told Xian Yi about Chen Qiu’s rise from chopping firewood and took him toward Windward City, while Xian Yi explained why he still cared about mortals.
• Wang Zhenyi visited Chen Qiu’s former chopping site with Liu San, learned how widely transmigrators admired Chen Qiu, and advised Liu San to make the Traveler’s story more free-spirited.
• Chen Qiu emerged from seclusion at the Integrated Body Fourth Layer, and his three unchosen Supreme-Grade trait selections fused into one panel.
• Chen Qiu inspected the fused panel, which reported a mutation and began calling for Heaven-and-Earth Power from a Third-Grade Continent.
• The Bai Family head discovered that Qi Tian Continent’s Heaven-and-Earth Power was flowing toward Mystic Heaven Province and ordered his daughter’s guardian to strengthen ties with Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu’s fused Supreme Grade trait chances produced a chance to choose among three Heavenly Dao Trait Sets, and his traits let him reroll and select all three. As the selection drew Heaven-and-Earth Power from distant continents, powerful figures noticed the spectacle and began investigating Mystic Heaven Province.

• The Bai Family eldest daughter feared her father had caused Pingxi Continent’s collapse to obtain Fortune of the Yin Soul, but her grandfather explained that the Bai Family had not caused it and was struggling to gather the fortune needed to save her.
• The Peaceful Prefecture ancestor reassured the current King of Pingxi that his decision to claim the Pingxi Throne had brought him near death, while trusting his own good fortune and strength.
• The Third Young Master of the Qi Clan sensed his prison weakening and hoped to escape, but Heaven-and-Earth Power reinforced it and crushed his hopes.
• Chen Qiu learned that his fused trait chances had produced a chance to choose one of three Heavenly Dao Trait Sets, then realized Great Fortune Approaches and Steal with Ease could let him reroll and select all three.
• Chen Qiu told Xiong Gao to prepare a victory feast as Heaven-and-Earth Power continued flowing toward Mystic Heaven Province.
• The Bai Family head and a powerful elder on a Fourth-Grade Continent noticed the enormous phenomenon; the elder sent two disciples to investigate and seek a chance to befriend its source.

Chen Qiu selected the unowned Heavenly Dao Trait Set Heaven's Mandate, then rapidly acquired two more unowned sets, triggering three continent-spanning Heavenly Dao Edicts. The announcements reached the Soaring Pavilion's banquet just as Ling Seventeen prepared to claim Heaven's Mandate, leaving the Bai Family head fearing a disastrous collision between the two claimants.

• Chen Qiu inspected the randomized trait sets, rejected the common options, and refreshed them until he found the unowned Heaven's Mandate, whose effects greatly raised the grades of his realm-exclusive items.
• Chen Qiu chose Heaven's Mandate and learned that its bonuses grew with every rainbow trait he had ever possessed, pushing his Body Integration killing art to the 90th grade.
• Ling Seventeen prepared to claim Heaven's Mandate at a grand Soaring Pavilion wedding banquet, while his father urged him to secure the trait set before anyone else did.
• Ling Seventeen learned that the Bai Family's eldest miss had Immortal Cancer, but refused to spend a wisp of Yin Emperor Fortune to save her; he instead approached the Phoenix Clan leader, who also had the illness.
• The Bai Family head heard a Heavenly Dao Edict announcing Chen Qiu's creation of Heaven's Mandate, then heard two more announcing The Tide of Destiny and Heaven Rewards Diligence.
• The Bai Family head realized Chen Qiu had claimed three previously unowned trait sets and feared his achievement would collide with Ling Seventeen's public claim, potentially igniting a deadly conflict.

After receiving three unprecedented Heavenly Dao Trait Sets, Chen Qiu celebrated at the Celestial Palace and assessed their powers, including a Rainbow Trait that let him attack enemies across space. As people prepared for his growing dominance and the Province-Land Shackles neared release, Xiao Yue joined the Mocking Heaven Sect as his personal maid and brought the mysterious orange cat with her.

• The Bai Family head heard the three Heavenly Dao Edicts and prepared gifts to attend Ling Seventeen's wedding before the Fourth-Grade Continent learned the news.
• Chen Qiu celebrated at the Celestial Palace, reviewed his new Heavenly Dao Trait Sets, and discovered that Void Targeting let him attack anyone whose appearance and true name he knew, regardless of distance or Heavenly Dao Shackles.

• Xiong Gao invited Xiao Yue to join the Mocking Heaven Sect as Chen Qiu's personal maid, and she accepted and brought July Cat, who desperately resisted.
• People with royal titles began arranging to enter the Yin Realm, accelerating the lifting of the Province-Land Shackles, while the Dao Sect Master approved Zhang Kui for Dao Sect orders after she revealed that Chen Qiu ranked first on the Heavenly Dao Sin Ranking.

Ling Seventeen failed to claim the first Heavenly Dao Edict for Heaven's Mandate because Chen Qiu obtained it first, prompting Ling Seventeen to target Chen Qiu and lash out at the Bai Family head. Back on Vast Continent, Chen Qiu learned that the Province-Land Shackles had lifted, then unexpectedly became Heavenly King after claiming Sole King without a fight.

• The Peaceful Prefecture ancestor discovered that Fairy's First Night had faded after the fairy who granted it died again.
• At Ling Seventeen's wedding banquet, he announced that he had obtained Heaven's Mandate, but no Heavenly Dao Edict sounded because Chen Qiu had already acquired it alongside The Tide of Destiny and Heaven Rewards Diligence.
• Ling Seventeen declared Chen Qiu a target for Soaring Pavilion and slapped the Bai Family head before ordering him away; the Bai Family head silently resolved to retaliate.
• Chen Qiu examined his six wisps of Mandate of Heaven and learned that their effects would manifest only in the Immortal Realm.
• A Heavenly Dao Edict lifted the Province-Land Shackles and began the Sole King Contest, but Chen Qiu immediately received the title of Sole King and was named Heavenly King for claiming it in the shortest time.

After the Province-Land Shackles lifted, Chen Qiu traveled to the Qi Tian Continent, where he discovered a supposedly mad young man had gained two Traits that could have brought him great fortune. Meanwhile, Ling Seventeen and the Bai Family head separately considered using long-range attacks or information to deal with Chen Qiu.

• Chen Qiu received the Heavenly King title, sent the Mocking Heaven Sect disciples and his companions into the Minor World, and traveled to the Qi Tian Continent.
• Chen Qiu explored Origin City, inspected a mad young man's Traits, and found that his White Trait and Pink Trait worked together to grant him powerful benefits.
• Ling Seventeen learned Chen Qiu had taken his Heavenly King position, and his father urged him to use his Void Targeting Trait to attack Chen Qiu from afar.
• The Bai Family head considered giving Chen Qiu an Image Recording Stone showing Ling Seventeen's true face, weighing revenge against the danger of provoking Soaring Pavilion.

Chen Qiu’s thunderous attack on bandits earned him a hidden achievement, but a long-range strike from Ling Seventeen failed to penetrate his defenses. The Bai Family head arrived too late to warn him and, after witnessing Chen Qiu survive, called out to him.

• The Bai Family head ordered Chen Qiu’s guardian to warn him about Ling Seventeen and his Void Targeting Rainbow Trait.
• Chen Qiu followed a group of bandits out of Origin City, then used Three Thousand Thunders’ Wrath to annihilate them and earned a Mid-Grade Heavenly Dao Wheel for a hidden achievement.
• The Bai Family head recognized Chen Qiu’s attack and rushed to find him, while Chen Qiu used his reward to obtain cultivation pills for Xiong Gao and the Brown Bear Clan.
• An unseen attacker sent a black-lightning arrow at Chen Qiu, who survived it behind his amplified golden shield; the Bai Family head identified the attack as Ling Seventeen’s God-Slaying Arrow.
• Chen Qiu gathered the arrow’s lingering information to track down its attacker, and the Bai Family head called out to him before he could leave.

Chen Qiu retaliated against Ling Seventeen with a long-range strike, then investigated the unexplained death of a maidservant who had returned from Qi Tian Continent. Ling Seventeen died in the attack, and Soaring Pavilion sealed its funeral guests inside a formation to demand their cooperation.

• The Bai Family Patriarch told Chen Qiu that Ling Seventeen had targeted him, and Chen Qiu used Void Targeting to send a devastating strike across the distance.
• Chen Qiu returned to the Celestial Palace, where Xiong Gao reported that a maidservant had suddenly died; Chen Qiu found mysterious black runes on her and her dead orange cat.

• Tao Li and the Bai Family Patriarch attended Ling Seventeen's funeral, where the Bai Family Patriarch secretly recorded the guests' faces.
• The master of Soaring Pavilion raised a formation over the funeral guests and demanded their cooperation, threatening to behead anyone who refused.

At Ling Seventeen’s funeral banquet, the Bai Family head deflected suspicion by exposing evidence of others’ motives, forcing the Soaring Pavilion Master to postpone his reckoning. On Vast Continent, Chen Qiu held a funeral for Xiao Yue, then welcomed the Dragon Race Patriarch and learned he had come seeking dragon hatchlings.

• The Soaring Pavilion Master questioned the guests about how Chen Qiu had learned Ling Seventeen’s appearance, and suspicion fell on the Bai Family head.
• The Bai Family head played recordings implicating the Soaring Pavilion Master’s son, his concubine, Tao Li, and other faction leaders, prompting the Soaring Pavilion Master to halt the accusations and begin the banquet.
• Chen Qiu and the Mocking Heaven Sect held Xiao Yue’s funeral and a feast, where Fat Dragon joked with the Black Dragon about his earlier failed death.
• The Dragon Race Patriarch arrived in scarlet robes with congratulatory gifts, mistaking Xiao Yue’s funeral feast for a celebration, but Chen Qiu gave him a seat after hearing his gift list.
• The Dragon Race Patriarch admitted he wanted to borrow dragon hatchlings, and Ao Tian warned that their bloodlines would astonish him and that he had not brought enough Spirit Stones.

The Bai Family’s elders visited Chen Qiu’s funeral banquet with five million Spirit Stones, and the Bai Family head learned that Chen Qiu had entered the Yin Realm and might possess Fortune of the Yin Soul. Hoping to trade for it and strengthen the Bai Family’s ties with Chen Qiu, the Bai Family head set out to visit him again.

The Dragon Race chief discovered that Ao Tian and Fat Dragon could help his people reproduce with exceptionally high-grade bloodlines, while the Peaceful Prefecture old ancestor received a third fairy’s repayment and regained his Fairy’s First Night trait. The chapter revealed the fairy’s identity as the Wei Prince and her conflict with the Qi Sect, as well as the ancient Young Master of Playful Indulgence’s role in the Repaying-Kindness Blessing.

• The Dragon Race chief tested more than two hundred hatchlings and found that they all had high-grade bloodlines, but Ao Tian refused to sell them and offered Fat Dragon’s help with breeding instead.
• The Dragon Race chief accepted Fat Dragon’s offer and took him to meet Chen Qiu before departing with him to find female dragons.
• The Peaceful Prefecture old ancestor received a visit from a fairy who repaid her lineage’s debt, restored his Fairy’s First Night trait, and invited him to find her at the Wei Prince’s Residence if he reached the Clear-Sky Realm.

• The Wei Prince recalled how the Young Master of Playful Indulgence had saved fairies and left a Repaying-Kindness Blessing with the Heavenly Dao, then received her own blessing.

Chen Qiu prepared to leave the Vast Continent for Qi Tian Continent and negotiated with the Bai Family Head for Fortune of the Yin Soul in exchange for the Bai Family's intelligence network and opportunities. Before departing, he agreed to bring the sect leaders with him, while the Sky Axe Sect Master entrusted his sister to the Dao Sect Master, who recalled falling in love with her over a bowl of noodles.

• Xiong Gao listed unresolved threats, and Chen Qiu told him they would deal with any enemies who came after them rather than waste time searching for them.
• The Bai Family Head told the dragon hatchling about a woman he had loved and regretted refusing, then met Chen Qiu and offered his daughter Qiu'er in marriage in exchange for Fortune of the Yin Soul.

Chen Qiu entered Jiang Taiping Continent, where he reunited with Zhao Yishi and learned that Zhao Yishi’s grandfather was a former Immortal King afflicted with Immortal Cancer. Chen Qiu agreed to help the giant fulfill his wish and considered seeking more Yin Emperor Fortune to cure him.

• Chen Qiu defeated the Integrated Body Peak Stage puppet, entered Qi Tian Continent, then used his Heavenly King title to travel to the Fourth-Grade Continent, Jiang Taiping Continent.

• After Chen Qiu left, Badan revealed that he had once begged his enemy for Yin Emperor Fortune and decided to confront the Demon Race clan chief rather than face that humiliation again.
• Badan’s cultivation surged, he armed himself with treasures lent by his friends, and he opened a hole in the sky to take Zhao Yishi into the Immortal Realm.
• Chen Qiu returned in time to see Badan carry Zhao Yishi toward the opening, realizing that Badan intended to sacrifice himself and pass on his legacy.
