Chapter Summaries

Xiao Ying learned that his fate had become intertwined with Immortal Emperor Nuwa’s and received an invitation to join the Heavenly Heart Sect, which he deferred while requesting rare materials and access to the sect’s teachings. The chapter ended with Nuwa proposing that she and the Three Pure Immortal Emperors accept Xiao Ying as a disciple on Pangu’s behalf, leaving his place in the sect uncertain.

• The Heavenly Heart Sect Master explained how Xiao Ying’s linked destiny with Nuwa had awakened the Dream Divine Ability, “Evil Moon Legend,” and invited him to join the sect.
• Xiao Ying asked for time to consider joining and then requested a chaos-attribute treasure, a Great Dao fragment, and three kinds of Pure Qi.
• The Heavenly Heart Sect Master granted Xiao Ying core disciple status to exchange for the treasure and directed him to approach the Three Pure Immortal Emperors for their spiritual energies.
• After the Heavenly Heart Sect Master vanished, Xiao Ying asked to study the sect’s teachings, and a white-robed Immortal Emperor offered to take him as a nominal disciple.
• Nuwa objected to the offer and proposed that she and the Three Pure Immortal Emperors accept Xiao Ying as Pangu’s inheritor, prompting concern about how the sect would classify him.

Xiao Ying visited the Heavenly Heart Sect's Merit Hall, balked at the cost of the materials he needed, and then met Nuwa to learn why the Disaster Demon Emperor had interfered with her attempt to help him. Nuwa gave him the Three Pure Spiritual Energy, leaving Xiao Ying to continue his plans with the help he had sought.

• Nuwa asserted that the sect master should decide Xiao Ying's standing, while Xiao Ying worried that Tianxin Yunlan might cause trouble for him.
• Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan escorted Xiao Ying and the Sky-Supporting tribesmen to the Merit Hall, where Xiao Ying found the materials he needed prohibitively expensive and agreed to visit Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones before deciding what to do.
• Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan settled Xiao Ying's party in guest quarters, and Xiao Ying later took Golden Eyes and Heaven Desolation to visit Nuwa.
• Nuwa explained that the Disaster Demon Emperor had concealed the Chart of Mountains and Rivers and disrupted her spell because he saw Xiao Ying as a threat to his plans for the Barbarian Tribe.
• Nuwa handed Xiao Ying the Three Pure Spiritual Energy, explaining that the Three Pure Ones had given it to her before his arrival.

Xiao Ying received the Kongtong Seal from Nuwa, who asked him to trade for the powerful treasure rather than take it freely. After she discovered that he had taken demonic scales marrow from the Disaster Demon Emperor’s avatar, Xiao Ying agreed to give Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones ten portions each in exchange for the seal.

• Nuwa offered Xiao Ying the Kongtong Seal and explained that he could refine it into a stronger imperial treasure for his Immortal Kingdom.
• Nuwa told Xiao Ying that he had to offer something in exchange, and she named treasures and materials that could aid her cultivation.
• Xiao Ying offered demonic scales marrow, and Nuwa inferred that he had taken it from the Disaster Demon Emperor’s avatar, Thousand Eyes.
• Xiao Ying denied that he had stolen much marrow and changed the subject by asking how much Nuwa wanted.
• Nuwa requested ten portions each for herself and the Three Pure Ones, and Xiao Ying agreed.

Xiao Ying traded demonic scales marrow with Nuwa for access to the Kongtong Seal and asked about obtaining Heaven’s Gate, but Nuwa warned him that the karmic consequences made it difficult. Tianxin Yunlan arrived and revealed that she could track Xiao Ying because he had absorbed her vital essence, while Nuwa watched their tense exchange in silence.

• Xiao Ying agreed to trade forty portions of demonic scales marrow and then gave Nuwa another sixty as thanks.
• Xiao Ying asked Nuwa to help him retrieve the Chart of Mountains and Rivers and obtain Heaven’s Gate, and she explained that factions feared the karma involved.
• Nuwa said Xiao Ying had an opportunity before him, but stopped when Tianxin Yunlan requested an audience.
• Tianxin Yunlan greeted Nuwa, sat across from Xiao Ying, and reproached him for his actions and for forgetting their parting words in the Pangu World.
• Tianxin Yunlan revealed that absorbing her vital essence let her see through Xiao Ying’s tricks within a certain range, while Nuwa silently watched them.

Xiao Ying learned that Tianxin Yunlan had come because she sensed the two portions of her natal essence he had absorbed, and he persuaded her to help him study the Heavenly Heart Sect’s heaven-earth profound meaning. As Tianxin Yunlan led him from the hall, Nuwa warned that the connection between them made him family to her and left their future uncertain.

• Tianxin Yunlan demanded that Xiao Ying beg her to leave him an opening, and he played along to keep her from exposing Xiao Wuxian.
• Xiao Ying realized Tianxin Yunlan had discovered him through her natal essence and that she had come without serious ill will.
• Tianxin Yunlan revealed that Luo Ziyan had protected Xiao Ying’s identity and helped him obtain the Kunpeng Battle Garment and Immortal Crystals at Black Rock Island.
• Xiao Ying offered Tianxin Yunlan a Blood-Cleansing Soul-Purifying Pendant and asked her to guide him to the Three Pure Ones World-Refining Scripture and the Heavens-Building Mystical Art.
• Nuwa agreed to process Xiao Ying’s stored items and advised him not to get involved in the Thunder Emperor’s Immortal Palace, while Tianxin Yunlan agreed to take him to the sect’s texts.
• Nuwa privately told Xiao Ying that absorbing Tianxin Yunlan’s natal essence made him closest to her and explained why the sect treated him favorably; Tianxin Yunlan then left the hall with him.

Xiao Ying studied the Heavens-Building Mystical Art in the Heavenly Heart Sect’s Scripture Repository and became absorbed in its visions of countless worlds for a month. After Tianxin Yunlan revived him, he faced the choice of which world to construct, and a newcomer warned him that the decision would shape his path to the emperor realm.

• Tianxin Yunlan brought Xiao Ying to the Scripture Repository’s seventh floor and gave him the Three Pure Ones World-Refining Scripture and the Heavens-Building Mystical Art.
• Xiao Ying quickly grasped the Three Pure Ones World-Refining Scripture and entered the Heavens-Building Mystical Art’s visions of worlds, realms, laws, and living beings.
• After a month of immersion, the Heaven-Earth Bell sounded a warning, and Tianxin Yunlan supported and restored the exhausted Xiao Ying.
• Xiao Ying learned that Tianxin Yunlan had stayed to watch over him, then told her his primordial spirit had reached the late Jade Immortal stage and that he was half shaman and half immortal.
• Xiao Ying admitted he wanted to construct every world he had seen, and Tianxin Yunlan said she had also struggled to choose one.
• A newcomer praised Xiao Ying’s comprehension and cautioned that his choice of world would determine his future path to the emperor realm.

Xiao Ying received advice from Immortal King Yi Yun, Gu Xiaoyun, about choosing a template for his minor world and learned that it could grow into a greater world over time. He set aside choosing for now and stayed in the Scripture Repository to study the world templates and the Heavens-Building Mystical Art.

• Gu Xiaoyun recommended that Xiao Ying begin with primordial prehistory, using his Witch Clan knowledge and bloodline, then advance it into the Witch Realm as his cultivation grew.
• Gu Xiaoyun explained that minor worlds could advance and suggested wood-oriented templates suited to Xiao Ying’s innate wood virtue spirit body, while urging him to study before deciding.
• Xiao Ying learned that Gu Xiaoyun was an Immortal King Yi Yun and agreed to exchange views with her.
• Tianxin Yunlan suggested that Xiao Ying could use treasure qi and spiritual qi, including nine-clear spiritual qi, to strengthen his world-building.
• Xiao Ying declined to seek outside help for now and began studying the principles and templates of constructed worlds in the Scripture Repository.

Xiao Ying studied the Heavens-Building Mystical Art and struggled to choose a consciousness heaven-earth suited to his Imperial Dao. Tianxin Yunlan found him an incomplete template called Great Flood Heavenly Court, leaving him excited by its promise and concerned about the growing ties between him and the Heavenly Heart Sect.

• Xiao Ying spent ten days studying heaven-earth mysteries and learned how a consciousness heaven-earth could strengthen a cultivator’s existing traits and abilities.
• Xiao Ying considered choosing primordial prehistory, but Tianxin Yunlan argued that his Imperial Dao and exceptional talents called for a more ambitious imperial heaven-earth.
• Xiao Ying admitted he had little time before the Thunder Emperor’s Immortal Palace emerged and his people founded their nation, so Tianxin Yunlan went upstairs to search for a suitable template.
• Tianxin Yunlan returned with an ancient, damaged jade slip containing the incomplete Great Flood Heavenly Court template and gave it to Xiao Ying.
• Xiao Ying recognized the template’s connection to the Great Flood Immortal Emperor and worried that accepting Tianxin Yunlan’s favor would deepen his ties and karma with the Heavenly Heart Sect.

Xiao Ying comprehended that the Great Flood Heavenly Court was a flexible, incomplete national world template whose stability came from its core, and realized the Three Pure Ones World-Refining Scripture best suited his Imperial Dao plans. He chose his path and asked Tianxin Yunlan to help obtain an extensive list of rare materials.

• Xiao Ying studied the Great Flood Heavenly Court template and noticed its ordinary structure, incomplete laws, and dense military presence.
• Xiao Ying realized that the Heavenly Court’s people, army, and national core kept its incomplete world stable and allowed it to be developed in many ways.
• Xiao Ying concluded that the Three Pure Ones World-Refining Scripture suited his imperial heaven-earth better than the Great Expansion Heart Scripture.
• After more than half a month, Xiao Ying awoke and told Tianxin Yunlan that he had made his decision.
• Xiao Ying gave Tianxin Yunlan a jade slip listing rare materials and a storage pouch containing a thousand portions of demonic scales marrow, surprising her with the scale of his request.

Xiao Ying planned an elaborate consciousness heaven-earth called Great Huan Heaven-Earth, using rare treasures, Taiji Reincarnation, and the Imperial Dao to make it a powerful extension of his rule. After five days of preparation in the Heavenly Heart Sect, he was ready to begin, with success hinging first on whether Taiji Reincarnation could fuse with primordial chaos qi.

• Tianxin Yunlan examined Xiao Ying’s extravagant materials list, agreed to help him build his consciousness heaven-earth, and advised him to study the process in the sect.
• Xiao Ying tried to gain access to higher floors of the Scripture Repository, but Tianxin Yunlan limited his token to the seventh floor and below.
• Xiao Ying selected several Immortal King-level techniques for Xiao Wuxian, then studied the construction method for his consciousness heaven-earth.
• Xiao Ying planned to shape Taiji Reincarnation with primordial chaos qi, build a world framework from rare materials, and integrate his Imperial Dao and life imprints from the Heaven-Supporting Pagoda.
• Xiao Ying named his envisioned world Great Huan Heaven-Earth and spent five days reviewing every step before preparing to test whether Taiji Reincarnation could fuse with primordial chaos qi.

Xiao Ying tested the Great Huan Heaven-Earth, a treasure-made miniature world that trapped the Sky-Supporting tribespeople in a realistic battle simulation. After they recognized him and escaped, Tianxin Yunlan and Gu Xiaoyun praised his achievement.

• Xiao Ying revealed the Great Huan Heaven-Earth he had forged from rare treasures and blasted open the chamber exit to test its power.
• Xiao Ying enveloped the Eight Separation Witch King and the Sky-Supporting tribespeople in the miniature world, where they faced simulated beasts, a Demon-Scale Fleet, and familiar enemies.
• The Eight Separation Witch King and the tribespeople fought back with their formations and witch bodies until the Golden-Eyed Great Witch recognized Xiao Ying and told him to stop.
• Xiao Ying ended the simulation and explained that he had been testing his divine ability, while the Eight Separation Witch King and the others congratulated him.
• Tianxin Yunlan arrived with other cultivators and congratulated Xiao Ying, and Gu Xiaoyun compared Xiao Ying’s achievement to his own consciousness heaven-earth.

After completing the Immortal Kingdom Imperial Seal, Xiao Ying negotiated with the Heavenly Heart Sect, which offered goodwill but stopped short of a formal alliance. Before he could leave, Tianxin Yunlan revealed that Blood Venerating Island had established Netherblood Island beside Nine-Dragon Island, and the sect asked Xiao Ying to investigate the suspicious occupation.

• Xiao Ying moved to the guest quarters after his consciousness heaven-earth test destroyed several courtyards, while Tianxin Yunlan and the Heavenly Heart Sect members refrained from questioning him about it.
• At a formal meeting, Immortal Emperor Yun Xin asked Xiao Ying about his time with the sect, and Xiao Ying proposed an alliance on behalf of the Sky-Supporting Tribe and Nine-Dragon Island.
• Immortal Emperor Yun Xin gave Xiao Ying the Immortal Kingdom Imperial Seal and reminded him that the sect’s assistance had been a paid transaction, not a pledge of full support.
• As Xiao Ying prepared to depart, Immortal Emperor Yun Xin warned him that the Thunder Emperor’s Immortal Palace had emerged and would be dangerous to approach.
• Tianxin Yunlan told Xiao Ying that Blood Venerating Island had occupied and developed Netherblood Island beside Nine-Dragon Island, then asked him to investigate why the Sea Clan had allowed it.

Xiao Ying learned that Nine-Dragon Island faced an impending disaster and refused Nuwa and Tianxin Yunlan’s offer to escort him home. As he left Heavenheart Island, the Disaster Demon Emperor’s forces prepared to ambush him, while the Heavenly Heart Sect’s Immortal Emperors watched from a distance.

• Tianxin Yunlan warned Xiao Ying that danger was gathering on Nine-Dragon Island, and Nuwa offered to accompany him there with Tianxin Yunlan.
• Nuwa identified the coming threat as Disaster, and Xiao Ying realized that the Disaster Demon Emperor had come after him for moving the demonic scales marrow mire.
• Xiao Ying declined the escort and left the hall after Immortal Emperor Yun Xin warned him that the Heavenly Heart Sect could not intervene freely.
• A burly man revealed himself as the Disaster Demon Emperor and ordered his forces to prepare an attack on Xiao Ying.
• Eight black-robed figures and two concealed dark clouds surrounded Heavenheart Island as the Immortal Emperors discussed the threat and speculated about how much demonic scales marrow Xiao Ying had stolen.

Xiao Ying escaped the Heavenly Heart Sect in the Heaven-Earth Bell, with Yi Miaoyun drawing an attack from the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor before Xiao Ying revealed his Demonic Roc form and fled. As the devils redirected their pursuit toward Sacredfall Netherworld Prison and immortals debated the coming Tribulation and Thunder Emperor’s Immortal Palace, Xiao Ying sent a concealed avatar toward another island.

• Xiao Ying ordered Yi Miaoyun to carry the Heaven-Earth Bell out of the Heavenly Heart Sect while he and his clansmen hid inside it.
• Imperial Realm observers detected Yi Miaoyun’s shadow, and the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor attacked her with a massive palm after she had flown far from Heavenheart Island.
• Yi Miaoyun summoned Xiao Ying, who appeared as a Demonic Roc and escaped the attack at tremendous speed with her hidden in his shadow.
• The Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor sent Demon Emperor Jinyun, Demon Emperor Dongxu, and the other devils to lay an ambush at Sacredfall Netherworld Prison.
• The Heaven-Pervading Immortal Emperor and the other immortals discussed the approaching Tribulation and whether Xiao Ying might visit the Thunder Emperor’s Immortal Palace.
• Xiao Ying’s witch-path Concealed Saint Avatar, Xiao Jiutian, landed on an island and used its Teleportation Formation to travel west.

Xiao Jiutian gathered information about the Thunder Emperor's Immortal Palace and traveled to its entrance with five new companions. There, Tianxin Yunlan intercepted him alongside Nuwa and three likely Immortal Emperors, while demonic eyes watched from above.

• Xiao Jiutian bought a detailed account and map of the Thunder Emperor's Immortal Palace, then agreed to travel with a woman and her four companions.
• Xiao Jiutian learned about the dangers around Thunder Emperor Island as the group approached its lightning vortex passage.
• Xiao Jiutian recognized the Thousand-Eyed Demon Emperor's surveillance among the stars watching the passage and grew wary of the powerful factions gathered there.
• Xiao Jiutian urged the group to enter the passage, and the woman and her companions followed him despite their doubts.
• Tianxin Yunlan stopped Xiao Jiutian near the passage, while Nuwa and three men who appeared to be the Three Pure Ones emerged with her from the Heavenheart Immortal Ark.

Xiao Jiutian was drawn into an expedition alliance with powerful figures from Heavenheart Island, Blood Venerating Island, and Myriad Demon Island, despite worrying that the factions would leave him with no chance to gain treasure. Feng Tianyun joined the group, and Xiao Jiutian thought of Princess Dieyi as he beckoned her over.

• Tianxin Yunlan invited Xiao Jiutian to explore the immortal palace with her group, and Xue Wuyan arrived with Blood Venerating Island and questioned him about his name and the Nine-Heaven Golden Roc he had slain.
• Xiao Jiutian told the beautiful matron and her four companions to leave, and Xue Wuyan explained that they had likely been plotting against him.
• Xue Wuyan wrapped herself around Xiao Jiutian's arm as he questioned why the sects had sent their young women into danger.
• Feng Tianyun arrived with Myriad Demon Island, and Tianxin Yunlan welcomed her into the group.
• Xiao Jiutian objected to traveling with the powerful alliance, but Tianxin Yunlan reminded him that her four ancestral masters had come to support him.
• Feng Tianyun asked whether Xiao Jiutian disliked her, and he thought of Princess Dieyi before beckoning Feng Tianyun over.

Xiao Jiutian took Feng Tianyun through the vortex passage into Thunder Emperor Island, where they explored the lightning-filled landscape and gathered treasures. Myriad Demon Island and Heavenheart Island let the pair go ahead, while the others followed at a distance.

• Xiao Jiutian took Feng Tianyun by the hand and led her through the vortex passage, stunning the gathered experts.
• Xiao Jiutian protected Feng Tianyun from falling lightning and showed her the corpses scattered across the island as they traveled through its outer region.
• The elderly woman in green stopped the pursuing group from catching up, and Nuwa supported letting Xiao Jiutian and Feng Tianyun explore at their own pace.
• Tianxin Yunlan confirmed Xiao Jiutian was a candidate holy son of the Barbarian Venerable Alliance and declared that she liked him.
• Xiao Jiutian and Feng Tianyun collected a ten-thousand-year-old purple ginseng and valuable thunder-patterned stones while continuing toward the island’s central region.

Xiao Jiutian and Feng Tianyun traveled across Thunder Emperor Island, gathered treasures, and shared a meal while discussing her cultivation and his search for a Heaven's Gate. Feng Tianyun claimed she knew where a Heaven Grade Heaven's Gate was and challenged Xiao Jiutian to catch her to learn its location.

• Xiao Jiutian suggested hunting lightning-element demonic beasts, and Feng Tianyun produced a Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle and a Golden-Spotted Thunder Leopard for him to roast.
• Feng Tianyun told Xiao Jiutian that they would reach Thunder Emperor City in three days and explained that she had reached peak sixth rank after mastering seven elements.
• Xiao Jiutian asked Feng Tianyun about her realm, and she revealed that she had come to seek an opportunity to break through.
• Feng Tianyun tested whether Xiao Jiutian was the Sky-Supporting High Priest and hinted that she knew where a Heaven Grade Heaven's Gate was.
• After they ate, Feng Tianyun challenged Xiao Jiutian to catch her if he wanted to learn the gate's location, then transformed into nine-colored radiance and flew away.

Xiao Jiutian and Feng Tianyun escaped their pursuers to reach a ruined city where a rare Tribulation Purple Lotus lay hidden. They found it sealed inside a dangerous Karmic Fire Thunder Prison, and Xiao Jiutian left Feng Tianyun to get them inside.

• Xiao Jiutian chased Feng Tianyun through the night until Xiaotian detected a high-grade Tribulation Purple Lotus in a ruined city.
• Xiao Jiutian persuaded Feng Tianyun to help him claim the lotus by promising her the other treasures and a favor.
• Feng Tianyun used Phoenix Conceals the World to spirit Xiao Jiutian away, while the island factions argued over their disappearance and headed toward Thunder Emperor City.
• Feng Tianyun concealed them as they traveled underground through the ruins, avoiding its restrictions, beasts, and ghosts.
• Xiao Jiutian and Feng Tianyun reached the Karmic Fire Thunder Prison, and Feng Tianyun questioned whether he had tricked her into entering it.

Xiao Jiutian and Feng Tianyun entered the Karmic Fire Thunder Prison and discovered the twenty-seventh-grade Tribulation Purple Lotus guarded by the fallen Nine-Calamities Thunder Emperor. As Great Adepts broke into the prison, Xiao Jiutian began refining the lotus, then made the prison vanish to escape with it.

• Feng Tianyun used her Nine-Colored Plume to open the Karmic Fire Thunder Prison and carried Xiao Jiutian inside.
• Xiao Jiutian and Feng Tianyun discovered the Tribulation Purple Lotus, the heavenly thunder pool, and the remains of the Nine-Calamities Thunder Emperor.
• Feng Tianyun suppressed the prison’s unstable energies and urged Xiao Jiutian to collect the lotus and the other treasures.
• Xiao Jiutian began refining the Tribulation Purple Lotus, causing the prison to shake violently.
• Great Adepts attacked through the earth, and Feng Tianyun revealed her true phoenix form to hold back the prison’s collapse.
• As an enormous claw reached into the prison, Xiao Jiutian made the Karmic Fire Thunder Prison vanish and shouted for them to leave.
