Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• White Candle Emperor Lord persuades Lingchuan Emperor and Emperor Lord Jiao Qi to prioritize killing or capturing Zhou Yan over searching the Immortal-Fall Battlefield for other treasures. They fear Zhou Yan’s rapid growth and recall a past cultivator who gained an Immortal Corpse, became an Ancient Immortal, and destroyed the powers that had once opposed him.
• The three Ziyang Immortal Palace leaders prepare an ambush, ordering their forces to seal the area. Lingchuan uses the Divine Mechanism Great Cosmos Immortal Art to locate Zhou Yan, but the art cannot find him—an unprecedented failure.
• Realizing Zhou Yan may have detected the attempt, they switch targets to the One Origin Patriarch and successfully transport their force to his location.
• Meanwhile, Chen Jichuan and the One Origin Patriarch are breaking into an Immortal-Corpse World containing two Ancient Immortal corpses. Chen uses his Insight and numerous clones to analyze the world and build layers of defensive formations.
• Chen senses someone trying to divine his location. Though his concealment holds, he fears the One Origin Patriarch and the others are more vulnerable. He tells them to leave and draw attention away while he continues opening the world.
• The group agrees and starts to flee—but Ziyang’s three Emperor Lords, ten Fourth-Realm True Immortals, and nine hundred Third-Realm True Immortals arrive before they can escape.

Character developments and interactions

• White Candle Emperor Lord proves the most aggressive of the three, arguing that Zhou Yan is too dangerous to let grow stronger. His ominous intuition helps convince the others.
• Emperor Lord Jiao Qi weighs the cost of using Immortal Arts but ultimately supports the plan; Lingchuan Emperor follows his senior companions’ decision and performs the locating art.
• Chen Jichuan/Zhou Yan remains difficult to detect, but recognizes that his companions’ safety may compromise his mission. He openly warns the One Origin Patriarch rather than abandoning them without explanation.
• The One Origin Patriarch trusts Chen’s judgment and promptly agrees to leave with the others. The Primordial Simplicity Patriarch, Fudan Zi, and Patriarch Zhengyuan accept the plan, recognizing they cannot challenge Chen for the corpses or protect themselves as effectively as he can.

Significant themes

• Power and the fear of future threats: The Ziyang leaders are willing to sacrifice their chance at other opportunities to prevent Zhou Yan from becoming an existential danger.
• Concealment versus pursuit: Chen’s layered methods defeat even an Immortal Art, yet the failed search pushes his enemies to target his companions instead.
• Trust and self-interest: Chen chooses to share the danger and the plan with the group; they respond with trust despite the immense value of the Immortal Corpses.
• Opportunity and risk: The group must choose between staying near a rare prize and retreating to avoid being trapped by overwhelming forces.

Key events

• White Candle Emperor Lord and the Ziyang Immortal Palace’s forces intercept the One Origin Patriarch and his companions, sealing a vast region with the Three-Wheel Heaven-Gate Divine Immortal Formation. Outnumbered, the group retreats into the Demon-Subduing Formation where Chen Jichuan is working to obtain two Immortal Corpses.
• The Ziyang leaders recognize that the formation is unusually powerful and suspect a valuable secret lies inside. White Candle decides to break it quickly and capture Zhou Yan (Chen Jichuan), despite Lingchuan Emperor’s concern about spending a precious Immortal Art.
• White Candle unleashes the Ten-Heavens Supreme Heart-Demon True Curse Immortal Art. Chen withstands its assault using the Demon-Subduing Formation and several second-level Grand Divine Abilities that resist heart demons. His defense creates a stalemate, astonishing the Ziyang leaders.
• Nearby, the Eternal Hall’s three Supreme True Immortals have been secretly following the Ziyang party. Pure Void Great Immortal reveals that he used the Wishful Heart-Mantra Immortal Art to inflame White Candle’s suspicion of Chen and steer events toward a confrontation. Expecting Chen to fall, the Eternal Hall planned to attack the weakened victors and seize whatever lay within the formation.
• When Chen survives the Immortal Art, Pure Void abandons that plan and orders his companions, Golden Sun and Jade Hollow, to join the battle and kill Chen.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan remains focused on securing the Immortal Corpses, which he sees as essential to achieving Ancient Immortal status within a timeframe he and Wang Yan can afford. Though cautious about Ziyang’s countermeasures, he refuses to be distracted by the attackers and demonstrates extraordinary resilience.
• One Origin Patriarch returns to the formation rather than risk a doomed battle. He warns Chen of the enemy’s strength and feels shame at retreating, but prioritizes survival.
• White Candle Emperor Lord is decisive and aggressive, choosing to spend a rare Immortal Art rather than risk delay. Chen’s resistance shakes his confidence.
• Lingchuan Emperor questions the cost of using the Immortal Art, while Emperor Lord Jiao Qi backs White Candle and prepares to capture Chen.
• Pure Void Great Immortal shifts from smugly manipulating the Ziyang forces to alarmed urgency. His fellow Eternal Hall leaders respond immediately to his call, changing the battle into a three-sided threat.

Significant themes

• Limits of established power: The chapter challenges the belief that only an Immortal Art can counter another Immortal Art; Chen holds off one through his own cultivation and layered defenses.
• Preparation and adaptability: Chen’s many defensive abilities and formations prove crucial against a superior force.
• Ambition and urgency: His determination to obtain the rare Immortal Corpses is driven by the immense time required to reach Ancient Immortal status—and by concern that others may not be able to wait.
• Manipulation and shifting alliances: The Eternal Hall secretly engineers the clash, intending to exploit the Ziyang Palace, but Chen’s unexpected survival forces it to intervene directly.

Plot points and events

• Chen Jichuan holds off White Candle Emperor Lord outside the Immortal-Corpse World. White Candle’s heart-demon immortal art is powerful but temporary, while Chen can sustain the stalemate.
• Lingchuan Emperor and Emperor Lord Jiao Qi join the assault, repeatedly striking the Demon-Subduing Formation. As it begins to collapse, Chen summons 300 Four-Star Ancient Gods, powerful refined corpses comparable to Fourth-Realm True Immortals. They disrupt the attackers and force Lingchuan to divert his strength.
• White Candle abandons his effort to maintain his immortal art and unleashes 1,200 Seven-Kill Abyss Pills, an exceptionally rare and destructive Ziyang Palace weapon. The pills destroy the Demon-Subduing Formation.
• The revealed world contains two Ancient Immortal corpses, whose auras shock and excite the three Ziyang emperor lords. Three Supreme True Immortals from the Eternal Hall arrive and also discover the corpses.
• With the secret exposed and more powerful challengers likely to come, Chen recalls the remaining Ancient Gods rather than risk losing them.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan demonstrates remarkable preparation and resourcefulness through his Ancient Gods, but recognizes that the formation cannot withstand the combined assault. He prioritizes protecting his valuable creations once concealment is no longer possible.
• White Candle Emperor Lord shifts from trying to defeat Chen directly to using a costly, overwhelming weapon. His discovery of the Immortal Corpses turns his hostility into intense desire for the prize.
• Lingchuan Emperor and Emperor Lord Jiao Qi cooperate to break the formation, but the Ancient Gods blunt their attack. They are impressed by Chen’s strength and alarmed by his potential.
• The Eternal Hall’s three immortals arrive as new rivals, immediately drawn into the struggle by the revelation.

Significant themes

• Escalating power and ingenuity: Chen’s hidden reserves repeatedly overturn the attackers’ expectations.
• The cost of ambition: Ziyang’s rare Abyss Pills are spent to uncover the secret, while the discovery promises even greater conflict.
• Talent as a threat: The enemy fears Chen not only for his present strength but for what he may become.
• Greed and competition: The Immortal Corpses transform a contained battle into a contest likely to attract more factions and bloodshed.

Plot and key events

• Three immortals from the Eternal Hall arrive, turning the contest over the two Immortal Corpses into a three-way standoff. White Candle Emperor Lord realizes the Eternal Hall had been manipulating events, but agrees with its leaders to kill Zhou Yan first and divide the corpses afterward.
• Emperor Lord Jiao Qi traps Chen Jichuan with the Prison Warden Immortal Art, which seals the surrounding world, drains cultivation, and can even prevent a trapped clone from escaping through self-destruction. Golden Sun Great Immortal adds the Nine-Yang Immortal Art, attacking with nine blazing suns.
• Chen Jichuan’s companions—One Origin Patriarch and three others—destroy their Domain Clones to escape the trap. Chen himself endures the combined assault for an hour, then uses the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Great Shift to vanish, severing every trace of his presence and karmic ties.
• With Zhou Yan gone, the six supreme immortals turn to breaking into the Immortal-Corpse World. Chen reveals that he escaped by “logging out” of the Dao Fruit World, beyond their reach, and returns after only a brief interval.
• Back in the battlefield, Chen deploys thousands of clones to secure the area, then splits into six perfect clones and attacks all six supreme immortals at once. He drives them out of the Immortal-Corpse World and keeps them occupied while his other clones continue breaking through its defenses.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan/Zhou Yan shows strategic caution as well as confidence: he recognizes that fighting six opponents while exploring the world is untenable, survives their trap, and uses his unusual ability to leave and re-enter the world. Once safe, he becomes aggressive, confident that their immortal arts have limits.
• White Candle Emperor Lord shifts from anger at being used by the Eternal Hall to prioritizing Zhou Yan as the greatest threat. He joins the temporary alliance but remains wary of his partners.
• Jiao Qi and Golden Sun Great Immortal coordinate their signature arts to capture and kill Zhou Yan, but are baffled by his disappearance and return.
• Pure Void Great Immortal remains pragmatic, repeatedly prioritizing the Immortal Corpses over settling the mystery of Zhou Yan’s escape.
• One Origin Patriarch and his companions recognize they cannot withstand the assault and sacrifice their battlefield clones to withdraw safely. Their interaction with Chen is marked by mutual trust and concern.

Significant themes

• Uneasy alliances and self-interest: The rival factions cooperate against Zhou Yan, then quickly redirect their attention to the Immortal Corpses once he disappears.
• Adaptability against overwhelming force: Chen survives not by overpowering six enemies directly, but by recognizing the limits of their techniques and exploiting an unconventional escape.
• Power, risk, and survival: Chen’s companions accept the loss of their clones to preserve themselves, while Chen must remain trapped because his clone cannot safely self-destruct.
• Confidence and escalating conflict: Chen’s successful return turns him from a target on the defensive into the aggressor, setting up a prolonged battle over access to the Immortal-Corpse World.

Plot points and events

• Chen Jichuan battles six Supreme True Immortals at once, using six avatars, numerous divine abilities, Ancient Immortal Artifacts, and the Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve. He dominates the fight, repeatedly trapping and suppressing his opponents.
• Lingchuan Emperor escapes the sleeve several times by spending rare, one-use treasures, but Chen Jichuan catches and seals him again. The struggle favors Chen: his cultivation method gives him immense reserves of magical power, while the six immortals are steadily worn down.
• Meanwhile, another avatar advances through the Immortal-Corpse World toward its two Immortal Corpses. Alarmed, White Candle Emperor Lord urges the Eternal Hall to use an immortal art, but both factions initially try to make the other pay the cost.
• The Ziyang Immortal Palace eventually uses the Prison Warden Immortal Art. Chen studies it rather than immediately fleeing, then escapes with the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Great Shift. He realizes the art draws on an Ancient Immortal’s power and has limited uses.
• The six immortals repeatedly confront Chen, use their scarce immortal arts, and watch him disappear and return. Each escape costs Chen little, but each art permanently reduces their reserves. After several cycles, the Ziyang Immortal Palace withdraws, followed by the Eternal Hall. They leave Chen free to pursue the Immortal Corpses.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan demonstrates overwhelming confidence, tactical patience, and a willingness to study his enemies’ techniques. He turns the opponents’ strongest weapons into a war of attrition that he is built to win.
• Lingchuan Emperor is reduced to repeatedly spending precious escape treasures, unable to overcome Chen’s sleeve.
• White Candle Emperor Lord recognizes the danger of Chen reaching the corpses and eventually commits the Ziyang Immortal Palace to using an immortal art. He then chooses withdrawal when continued resistance becomes pointless.
• The Eternal Hall’s three immortals distrust the Ziyang faction and initially refuse to spend their own limited resources. They eventually use their arts too, but also concede once the cost outweighs the benefit.
• The six opponents’ interactions are shaped by mutual suspicion: each faction tries to force the other to act first, even while facing Chen together.

Significant themes

• Endurance and resource management: Chen’s vast reserves and low-cost escape method outlast the immortals’ finite treasures and tightly limited immortal arts.
• Strategy over brute force: Chen wins not by killing his opponents outright, but by controlling the battlefield, exploiting their reluctance, and learning how their power works.
• Fragile alliances and distrust: The Eternal Hall and Ziyang Immortal Palace cooperate only when necessary, constantly watching for the other to bear the cost.
• Power and confidence: Chen’s repeated returns turn the confrontation into a contest on his terms, leaving even six Supreme True Immortals unable to stop him.

Key plot points and events

• After failing to defeat or restrain Chen Jichuan, the six Supreme True Immortals withdraw—but plan to bring in reinforcements rather than surrender the two Immortal Corpses.
• The Ziyang Immortal Palace’s three emperor lords recruit Daoist Qiu Sha, a renowned curse specialist, to use his Black Dragon Immortal-Slaying Art against Chen.
• The Eternal Hall’s three immortals independently seek help from the Changshan Great Emperor, whose formidable offense might kill Chen. They accept his unsavory reputation because they intend only to use him as a weapon.
• Chen recognizes Qiu Sha and anticipates a curse. He stays alert, sends an avatar to pressure the opposing group, and logs off just as the Black Dragon Blade attacks—making himself impossible for it to locate.
• Unable to find its target, the blade turns on its caster. Qiu Sha’s defenses fail, and the curse kills him.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan remains confident and strategic. He understands that his enemies will seek allies, but believes he can ultimately secure the corpses. His ability to disappear defeats a curse that Qiu Sha claims no target has ever escaped.
• The three Ziyang emperor lords abandon secrecy and cooperate with Qiu Sha, driven by their determination to keep the Immortal Corpses from Chen.
• Daoist Qiu Sha arrives eager for the corpses and certain of his art’s power. His overconfidence turns to alarm when Chen vanishes, and finally to fatal vulnerability when the curse rebounds.
• The Eternal Hall immortals pursue a separate alliance with the Changshan Great Emperor. Their discussion reveals their pragmatic willingness to work with someone they dislike for a chance at the prize.

Significant themes

• Preparation versus adaptability: Chen counters a powerful, carefully prepared attack by recognizing its danger and using his ability to vanish.
• Greed and competition: The Immortal Corpses drive rival factions to summon dangerous allies and risk escalating the conflict.
• The danger of unchecked power and confidence: Qiu Sha’s lethal art becomes fatal when its target cannot be found.
• Strategic opportunism: Both factions treat potential allies as tools, hoping to discard them once their immediate purpose is served.

Plot points

• Daoist Qiu Sha’s Black Dragon Immortal-Slaying Art rebounds and kills him after Zhou Yan evades it. Zhou Yan returns and resumes fighting the remaining immortals.
• Over more than seven months, the Ziyang Immortal Palace and Eternal Hall recruit one Supreme True Immortal after another to stop Zhou Yan from reaching two Ancient Immortal corpses. Their immortal arts repeatedly fail to keep him away; Zhou’s clones and ability to log out let him survive each attack.
• The assembled immortals grow to twenty-two, but they underestimate how quickly Zhou can cross the Immortal-Corpse World. Using Insight and Enlightenment, he has secretly deciphered its formations and restrictions.
• Just as the newcomers prepare another attack, Zhou reaches the corpses in a single step, gathers both with the Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve, and logs out before their combined arts can hit him.
• Chen Jichuan decides to remain away for thirty thousand years, until the Immortal-Fall Battlefield closes and the immortals waiting for him must leave. He plans to study the corpses and use Enlightenment to help his allies cultivate.

Character developments and interactions

• Zhou/Chen proves patient, strategic, and resourceful: he hides his progress, exploits his opponents’ reluctance to spend their limited immortal arts, and times his escape perfectly.
• The opposing immortals, including Changshan Great Emperor and later arrivals, are powerful but increasingly frustrated. Their reliance on summoned reinforcements and poorly coordinated attacks leaves them unable to stop him.
• Chen also reflects on the One Origin and Primordial Simplicity Patriarchs, who found the corpses and made his opportunity possible. Though they did not aid him in the battle, he intends to repay them by sharing the benefits of his Enlightenment.

Significant themes

• Patience and strategy over brute force: Zhou wins by understanding the battlefield and exploiting his enemies’ assumptions.
• Limits of power and cooperation: Even numerous Supreme True Immortals and their deadly techniques fail against a prepared opponent, while their coordination is weak.
• Risk, refuge, and long-term planning: Logging out protects Chen from immediate danger, allowing him to wait years—or even millions—of years to pursue cultivation.
• Gratitude and reciprocity: Despite prioritizing his own survival, Chen remembers those whose earlier actions helped him and hopes to repay them.

Plot points and events

• Chen Jichuan has spent more than four million years cultivating in the Dao Fruit World and has reached the peak of Fourth Rank in the real world. He could advance to True Immortal at any time, but delays the breakthrough until he is strong enough to escape the Hanging Mirror and rescue Chen Shaohe.
• Chen Shaohe has also reached Fourth Rank, advanced through its first three realms, and improved his Cloning Technique into a Grand Divine Ability. He now has 2,016 clones, including two perfect clones, and is nearing the Fourth Realm.
• After waiting until the Immortal-Fall Battlefield has closed and reopened, Chen Jichuan returns to the site of the Immortal Corpses. Using the Lunar Yin Divine Mirror, he reviews the past 30,400 years.
• The visions reveal that True Immortals flocked to the site hoping to seize the two corpses. When the battlefield became more dangerous after the Immortal-Corpse World collapsed, twenty-four Supreme True Immortals—including Changshan Great Emperor and Divine Lord Wuyang—died permanently. The One Origin Dao Gate was also driven out of the Jade Toad Great World and forced back to the Divine Land World.
• Chen Jichuan still possesses both Immortal Corpses, one yin and one yang. He leaves the increasingly dangerous battlefield with most of his clones and begins studying the corpses, hoping to use them to advance toward the Ancient Immortal Realm.
• Back in the Divine Land World, he reunites with the One Origin Patriarch and the other leaders. They also meet Gu Congyun, formerly the Lord of Heaven-Plate Palace, who advanced to the Fourth Realm during the expedition. Chen Jichuan tells the group that he cannot yet bring the corpses out, but shares insights from studying them and begins teaching the five cultivators.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan remains patient and strategic, balancing long-term cultivation with plans to escape his constraints. Securing the Immortal Corpses strengthens his ambition to reach the Ancient Immortal Realm.
• Chen Shaohe has become a capable, self-reliant cultivator through dangerous travels and repeated near-death experiences. His clone-based cultivation is accelerating, bringing the True Immortal realm closer.
• Gu Congyun (Pan Tian) advances from the peak Third Realm to Fourth-Realm tribulation lightning and becomes a new pillar of the One Origin Dao Gate. Despite his great age and earlier seniority, he treats Chen Jichuan with pronounced respect.
• The One Origin Patriarch and his companions are relieved that Chen Jichuan retained the corpses, but disappointed they cannot yet be brought out. They eagerly accept his offer to share his findings.

Significant themes

• Patience and preparation: Chen Jichuan delays breakthroughs and major moves until conditions favor success.
• Ambition and desperation: For aging Supreme True Immortals, the corpses represent a last chance at survival and advancement, explaining their willingness to risk everything.
• The cost of greed and peril: The battlefield’s promise of great rewards draws many powerful cultivators to their deaths.
• Mentorship and shared knowledge: Chen Jichuan uses his discoveries to help fellow cultivators, while his guidance has also been central to Chen Shaohe’s progress.

Summary

Key plot points and events

• After returning with two Immortal Corpses, Chen Jichuan chooses patience over revenge. He stays within the One Origin Dao Gate’s protected territory and concentrates on growing stronger.
• Over two million years, he studies the corpses’ Dao traces, develops new divine abilities and battle formations, and advances his three Grand Divine Abilities. He also uses his many clones to explore different worlds and learn from their Immortal traditions.
• Chen’s defenses transform the Divine Land Star Cluster into forbidden ground. His formations kill invading True Immortals—including Supreme True Immortals—and the steady stream of attackers gives him valuable practice in testing and refining his formations. He also turns their corpses into Refined Corpses and Ancient Gods.
• A visitor finally breaches the defenses: the Suspended River Immortal, an Ancient Immortal who attained his realm through an Immortal Corpse. He demands to know where Chen’s two corpses are.
• Chen claims they were lost in the Immortal-Fall Battlefield, but has no intention of surrendering them. Having assessed the visitor with Insight, Chen believes he may be strong enough to fight this newly ascended Ancient Immortal.

Character developments

• Chen Jichuan becomes even more methodical and prepared. Rather than relying only on powerful but taxing Grand Divine Abilities, he seeks sustainable strength through formations, clones, and refined beings. His confidence grows until he is willing to test himself against an Ancient Immortal.
• The Suspended River Immortal is introduced as powerful but relatively young by Ancient Immortal standards. He treats True Immortals with cold indifference and appears chiefly interested in acquiring the corpses.

Character interactions

• Chen and the One Origin Patriarch and his allies agree to keep a low profile while Chen cultivates.
• Chen’s formations repeatedly confront and kill trespassing True Immortals, turning attempted invasions into opportunities to improve his skills.
• In the chapter’s central encounter, Chen respectfully greets the Suspended River Immortal while concealing his true intentions and lying about the corpses. The Ancient Immortal’s dismissive demand makes clear that the two are on a collision course.

Significant themes

• Patience and preparation: Chen postpones revenge to build strength and prepare for every contingency.
• Knowledge through practice: He develops his abilities through study, experimentation, and real-world tests.
• The cost of power: Grand Divine Abilities are formidable but difficult to sustain, prompting Chen to seek more efficient ways to fight.
• Ambition versus hierarchy: Though Ancient Immortals stand above True Immortals, Chen’s long cultivation has given him the confidence to challenge that assumed gap.

Key events

• Suspended River Immortal attacks Chen Jichuan, seeking to turn him into a controllable Furred Immortal. Chen counters the life-and-death technique with Flowers Bloom in an Instant.
• Suspended River Immortal sends his blood-shadow avatar to drain Chen’s essence. Chen’s Nine-Breath Qi Absorption suppresses the blood energy, while Upright Stance Without Shadow lets the attack pass through him harmlessly.
• Frustrated, Suspended River Immortal uses his Ancient Immortal authority to suppress Chen and strip away his access to the Great Dao and the world’s energy. Chen counters by activating the formations he has spent two million years building across the Divine Land Star Cluster, reclaiming control of the local domain.
• Suspended River Immortal unleashes death energy that destroys millions of stars, collapses formations, and kills countless beings. Chen strikes him with the Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve, interrupting the assault and allowing the star cluster and its formations to be restored—though the dead cannot be brought back.
• Suspended River Immortal’s anger gives way to fascination with Chen’s abilities. As he questions Chen about his methods, two more figures appear: Sixth-Tier refined corpses known as Furred Immortals, created by Suspended River Immortal.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan proves that his six million years of cultivation have made him unusually prepared to challenge an Ancient Immortal. His broad range of perfected divine abilities, deep formation expertise, and control of his home territory let him survive attacks that would overwhelm most True Immortals.
• Suspended River Immortal begins by treating Chen as an obstacle to be subdued, but repeated failures turn his irritation into intense curiosity. His desire for the two Immortal Corpses grows into interest in Chen himself.
• Their clash shifts from a contest of divine techniques to a confrontation over authority and territory. Chen’s claim—“I understand heaven better than you”—captures his advantage within the star cluster, even though Suspended River Immortal still demonstrates devastating power.

Significant themes

• Preparation and mastery: Chen’s long cultivation and years of groundwork allow him to counter seemingly overwhelming force.
• Home-ground authority: Suspended River Immortal’s rank gives him immense power, but Chen’s formations let him contest that authority locally.
• Power and its cost: The star cluster can be restored, but the lives lost cannot, underscoring the human cost of immortal conflict.
• Ambition among immortals: Even beings at the pinnacle of power retain desires, rivalries, and ambitions to grow stronger.

Key plot points and events

• The Suspended River Immortal escalates the fight by summoning two Ancient Immortal–level Furred Immortal Refined Corpses. Chen Jichuan initially traps them with the Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve and Five-Element Mountain, but they quickly break free.
• The Furred Immortals’ roars and the Suspended River Immortal’s amplified Immortal-Pointing Finger Seal overwhelm Chen’s clones with destructive deathly energy. Chen realizes that, despite his exceptional strength among True Immortals, he cannot match an Ancient Immortal head-on.
• Using his long-prepared formations and several Grand Divine Abilities, Chen makes the entire Divine Land Star Cluster vanish into the universe’s hidden interstices, beyond ordinary observation and divination.
• To prevent his damaged clones from being captured or retrieved through time, Chen deliberately burns out five clones with Flowers Bloom in an Instant. He escapes with the star cluster, but loses five clones and must devote three more to maintaining its concealment.
• The Suspended River Immortal fails to recover Chen or locate the star cluster. Other Ancient Immortals observe the escape, leaving the Suspended River Immortal with simmering shame, anger, and greed for Chen’s abilities.
• Carrying and hiding the star cluster rapidly exhausts Chen’s magic power and mental strength. He pauses to recover while his remaining clones keep the concealment formations running.

Character developments

• Chen Jichuan confirms both the limits and the reach of his power: he cannot defeat an Ancient Immortal in direct combat, but careful preparation, layered abilities, and willingness to sacrifice clones let him survive one. He feels pride in the escape, while recognizing that the Ancient Immortals now know of him.
• The Suspended River Immortal displays his true strength once he stops holding back. Though outwardly composed after Chen’s escape, he is privately humiliated and covets Chen’s rare divine abilities.

Significant themes

• Preparation and strategy versus raw power: Chen survives not by overpowering his opponent, but through years of planning and the combined use of abilities and formations.
• Sacrifice and survival: Chen willingly destroys five clones to avoid capture and protect his freedom.
• The vast gap between realms: The fight makes clear that even a pinnacle True Immortal remains far beneath an Ancient Immortal’s power.
• Success brings danger: Chen’s remarkable escape saves him, but draws the attention of powerful beings who may pursue him.

Character interactions

• Chen first tests the Suspended River Immortal with an aggressive attack, then shifts to delaying and escape once the Immortal reveals his full strength.
• The Suspended River Immortal taunts Chen’s limited understanding of Ancient Immortals and tries to seize and recover his clones, but cannot stop the star cluster’s disappearance or retrieve the sacrificed clones.
• Other Ancient Immortals silently witness the encounter, reacting with curiosity, amusement, scorn, or indifference.

Key plot points and events

• After escaping the Suspended River Immortal, Chen Jichuan decides he can no longer study the two Ancient Immortal corpses indefinitely. Although refining them will destroy some of their value as sources of Dao insight, he needs protection against further attention from Ancient Immortals.
• Chen reviews his substantial progress over two million years: his divine abilities have been upgraded into grand divine abilities, and he has developed new ones. Even so, he recognizes that his powers alone cannot bridge the gulf between him and an Ancient Immortal.
• He begins refining the corpses into Five-Star Ancient Gods. The process will take thousands or tens of thousands of years, but success could give him two powerful allies capable of helping him survive Ancient Immortal encounters.
• Meanwhile, the Divine Land Star Cluster’s disappearance causes an uproar. Observers do not realize that Chen has taken the entire cluster with him.
• In the Bonecutter Greater World, Immortals Dongyuan and Qinghe discuss Chen’s escape from the Suspended River Immortal. Qinghe is curious about Chen’s Cloning Technique and asks Dongyuan to locate him. Dongyuan agrees, after securing Qinghe’s promise not to bully or coerce Chen.
• Dongyuan uses his mastery of cause and effect to find Chen. A summons reaches Chen in the Immortal-Fall Battlefield.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan shows pragmatism and resolve: he gives up some long-term Dao study in favor of gaining immediate strength and a better chance of survival. His fight with the Suspended River Immortal has made him acutely aware of his limitations.
• Immortal Qinghe is interested in Chen’s unusual abilities, especially his Cloning Technique. He presents himself as willing to offer a fair reward or help rather than seize the technique.
• Immortal Dongyuan looks out for younger cultivators and warns Qinghe against abusing his power. He is also willing to help Qinghe find Chen, using his expertise in cause and effect.
• The Suspended River Immortal is criticized by both Ancient Immortals for coveting corpses held by a weaker cultivator. Dongyuan considers the conduct beneath an Ancient Immortal’s dignity.

Significant themes

• Survival versus long-term cultivation: Chen must sacrifice some opportunity for Dao insight to address an immediate threat.
• The gulf between True and Ancient Immortals: Even extraordinary techniques and years of progress cannot easily overcome a difference in fundamental attainment.
• Power and restraint: Qinghe’s promise and Dongyuan’s warning contrast ethical engagement with the Suspended River Immortal’s coercive behavior.
• Timing and fate: Chen accepts that his ambitions must adapt to circumstance, while the unexplained disappearance of the star cluster and Dongyuan’s search suggest larger forces and connections at work.

Key events

• Immortal Dongyuan and Immortal Qinghe contact Chen Jichuan, whose concealment only Dongyuan can penetrate because Chen has sworn a Dongyuan Oath, creating a bond of cause and effect.
• Qinghe asks to trade for Chen’s Cloning Technique. Chen provides its divine-ability version, presenting it as the technique itself while keeping its more powerful Grand Divine Ability form undisclosed.
• In return, Qinghe gives Chen a gourd containing the Azure Sea Tidebirth Melody: one recording of the original music and two imitations that can benefit Mahayana cultivators’ understanding of the Dao.
• The two immortals depart after encouraging Chen to cultivate toward Ancient Immortality. Chen becomes less wary of them and sees them as willing to support promising juniors.
• Chen resumes preparing to advance. Keeping the Divine Land Star Cluster hidden cuts it off from outside energy, gradually draining its worlds and hindering its cultivators, so he cannot afford a long delay.
• Over the next ten thousand years, Chen refines two Immortal Corpses into Five-Star Ancient Gods through ten thousand cycles of tribulation. The process also strengthens him, advances his cultivation, and deepens his Dao insights.
• With the refinement complete, Chen opens the gourd and begins listening to the Azure Sea Tidebirth Melody, intending to use it to break through to the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan balances caution with pragmatism: he accepts Qinghe’s offer, conceals the full extent of his technique, and recognizes the value of forming ties with powerful Ancient Immortals. His sustained tribulation training further strengthens him and brings him to the threshold of a breakthrough.
• Immortal Qinghe shows interest in Chen’s unusual technique but makes a fair exchange, giving him a rare musical treasure.
• Immortal Dongyuan acts as mediator, reassuring Chen that the offer is voluntary and facilitating the exchange. His respectful encouragement helps ease Chen’s suspicion.
• Chen’s encounter contrasts these supportive immortals with the more threatening Suspended River Immortal.

Significant themes

• Caution and trust: Chen remains alert to possible schemes while allowing that powerful cultivators may genuinely help others.
• Reciprocity and mentorship: The exchange creates a mutually beneficial connection, and the immortals’ encouragement suggests a broader desire to see new Ancient Immortals emerge.
• Cost of concealment and urgency: Hiding the Divine Land Star Cluster protects it from discovery but threatens its long-term survival.
• Endurance and transformation: The ten thousand tribulations serve both as a test for the corpses and as a source of growth for Chen himself; his next breakthrough is the culmination of years of preparation.

Key plot points

• Chen Jichuan listens to the Azure Sea Tidebirth Melody, whose imagery reveals increasingly profound layers of the Great Dao. He attempts to advance from the Fourth Realm of True Immortals toward Ancient Immortality, but the music opens up many more true intents for him to master. Overwhelmed by the endless work ahead, he shuts off his senses and ends the attempt.
• Though disappointed, Chen Jichuan accepts that becoming an Ancient Immortal will take time. He has roughly thirty million years left to live, but that long lifespan makes him worry about the people whose lives are tied to his.
• He is especially concerned for Wang Yan (“Little Yan”), whom he can sense is alive but cannot locate. She has likely become at least a Second-Realm True Immortal, yet may not live long enough to reach the Fourth Realm. Ancient Immortals alone can leave the universe, so Chen Jichuan had hoped to become one before searching for her.
• Refining the two Five-Star Ancient Gods earlier than planned gives him extra time to seek Wang Yan. He also worries about Chen Shaohe’s cultivation and sets a firm deadline: he will wait no more than twenty thousand years in reality before acting, even if the situation around the Hanging Mirror Sea remains unclear.
• Chen Jichuan names the Ancient Gods Golden Crow Daoist and Moon Laurel Fairy. They treat him as their “Father God,” and he tests their abilities by having them carry him out of the Immortal-Fall Battlefield. They successfully break through its dangerous boundary.

Character developments and interactions

• Chen Jichuan recognizes the limits of his Dao understanding and shifts from ambitious breakthrough to practical planning. His concern for Wang Yan and Shaohe outweighs the desire to wait indefinitely for certainty.
• Wang Yan remains absent, but her uncertain lifespan and progress drive Chen Jichuan’s decisions.
• Chen Shaohe is a further reason for urgency: Chen Jichuan wants him to advance as soon as possible, mindful of how narrowly Chen Mo missed his chance to become a True Immortal.
• Golden Crow Daoist and Moon Laurel Fairy are newly named Five-Star Ancient Gods with lively, independent-seeming minds. They show deference to Chen Jichuan and demonstrate their strength by escorting him out of the battlefield.

Significant themes

• The endless pursuit of the Dao: Each deeper insight reveals further truths to understand; progress toward Ancient Immortality has no obvious endpoint.
• Time and mortality: A long life is still limited when loved ones may die sooner, and delays can erase opportunities permanently.
• Responsibility over personal ambition: Chen Jichuan’s plans are shaped not only by his own cultivation but by his obligations to those he cares about.
• Preparation versus action: He fears hidden threats behind the Hanging Mirror and Bewildering Spirit Scroll, yet resolves not to let caution become a source of irreversible regret.

• Rather than beginning as a powerful cultivator, Luan builds his life through practical work: raising pigs, earning work points, browsing the black market, taking skilled-worker examinations, and purchasing property.
• He rises from the “number one pig raiser” of Peach Haven Market’s Fourth Brigade to the wealthiest person in Flying Thunder Workshop.
• He begins as a novice skilled worker in Scarlet Crow Immortal City and gradually masters advanced professions, including Level Eight pill refining, artifact crafting, and talisman production.
• Through the mysterious Southern Heaven Gate, Luan repeatedly descends into mortal realms to undergo tribulations. These experiences grant him Earthly Baleful Arts and allow him to learn the Heavenly Dipper Method, accelerating his cultivation.
• His long-term path involves accumulating wealth, companions, techniques, and land, while mastering the practical necessities of immortal life: pills, artifacts, talismans, formations, and cultivation resources.

Character Development

• Luan develops from an ordinary modern youth into a resourceful and ambitious cultivator.
• His growth is based not only on combat or innate talent, but also on labor, technical expertise, business sense, and careful management of scarce resources.
• He progresses from beginner-level craftsmanship to mastery of multiple high-level professions.
• His repeated tribulations expand his knowledge and power, allowing him to advance rapidly while adapting to the harsh rules of the cultivation world.

Significant Themes

• Practical cultivation: Immortality is portrayed as dependent on food, shelter, wealth, tools, and social resources—not merely spiritual enlightenment.
• Scarcity and planned economy: Spiritual qi and cultivation opportunities are rationed, giving the world a strong bureaucratic and resource-management element.
• Self-made success: Luan rises through work, skill, commerce, and persistence rather than relying solely on destiny or inheritance.
• Modern concepts in a xianxia setting: Work points, skilled-worker exams, property ownership, black markets, and industrial production are integrated into immortal society.
• Accumulation and long-term strategy: Wealth, techniques, companions, and material foundations are treated as essential “firewood, rice, oil, and salt” for the Dao.

Character Interactions

• The introduction emphasizes Luan’s interactions with the institutions and communities around him, including market brigades, workshops, skilled-worker systems, and black-market networks.
• His advancement likely brings him into contact with coworkers, fellow cultivators, craftsmen, merchants, and potential companions, though specific relationships are not detailed in the provided text.
• His repeated mortal-world tribulations also suggest encounters that shape his cultivation methods and broaden his understanding of the world.

Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• A new martial-arts fantasy novel, Beginning with Developing the Tendon Transformation Scripture, Ascending to the Other Shore, has been released and has already reached approximately one million words.
• The story follows Yan Chuang, who transmigrates into an ancient-style martial-arts world after a car accident.
• He brings with him the Violet Heaven Palace, a mysterious system or palace containing several powerful abilities:
  • Learning Through Teaching: Enhances listeners’ comprehension and returns their insights to Yan Chuang.
  • Great Dao Meditation Cushions: Dramatically amplify the teaching effect and help disciples understand the Dao.
  • Treasure-Separation Rock: Raises the grade of items and nurtures treasures through spirituality.
  • Derivation Technique: Allows Yan Chuang to create development tasks, gain inspiration, develop martial arts, and acquire insights and spirituality.
• The long-term goal implied by the title and ending quotation is Yan Chuang’s ascent to the Other Shore, a higher realm or ultimate state of cultivation.

2. Character Development

• Yan Chuang begins as a modern person unexpectedly transported into a martial-arts world.
• Rather than presenting himself as a conventional martial-arts genius, he develops through teaching others and absorbing the insights generated by their learning.
• His identity evolves from transmigrated outsider to a powerful mentor and Dao preacher whose understanding of martial arts grows indirectly through his disciples.
• By the time he reaches the Other Shore, he can claim that his accomplishments came not from deliberate study, but from the insights gained while teaching.

3. Significant Themes

• Learning through teaching: Knowledge becomes stronger when shared, with both teacher and students benefiting.
• Accumulated wisdom and indirect growth: Yan Chuang’s cultivation progresses through feedback from others rather than solitary effort.
• Mentorship and the transmission of the Dao: The development of disciples appears central to the protagonist’s path.
• Innovation and system-assisted cultivation: The Violet Heaven Palace provides tools for creating techniques, improving treasures, and accelerating comprehension.
• Ascension and transcendence: The “Other Shore” represents the ultimate destination of Yan Chuang’s cultivation journey.

4. Character Interactions

• The synopsis emphasizes Yan Chuang’s future interactions with listeners and disciples, whose comprehension is enhanced by his explanations.
• Their understanding and thoughts are fed back to him, making teaching a reciprocal process rather than a one-sided transfer of knowledge.
• The six meditation cushions suggest a limited group of especially important disciples or students who may receive extraordinary guidance.
• No specific named relationships or detailed confrontations are provided in the excerpt; the focus is on Yan Chuang’s role as a teacher and cultivator.

Summary
