Chapter Summaries

Su Yueli fought two Red Sun Sect cultivators near Black Wind Valley, but their reinforcements arrived before she could escape. The newcomer, Lie Yangfeng, recognized her and intervened on her behalf, though Su Yueli remained wary as he questioned what had happened.

• The wounded male cultivator used a jade talisman to blast Su Yueli away and sent a communication talisman for reinforcements.
• The female cultivator blocked Su Yueli from finishing off the injured man, and Lie Yangfeng arrived with overwhelming force.
• Lie Yangfeng recognized Su Yueli and stopped the female cultivator from attacking her from behind.
• Lie Yangfeng gave the injured male cultivator a healing pill, then asked Su Yueli what had happened.
• Su Yueli recounted the encounter, and the female cultivator denied her account while claiming the venomous scorpion and Su Yueli’s weapon belonged to the sect.
• Lie Yangfeng rebuked the female cultivator, while Su Yueli stayed ready to flee or fight in case he sided with his fellow disciples.

Su Yueli negotiated with Lie Yangfeng over compensation for the Red-Tailed Venom Scorpion and traded a rare herb for spirit stones. She left with a valuable supply of resources and three unusual herbs still in her Storage Pouch.

• Lie Yangfeng rebuked his junior disciples for coveting Su Yueli’s loot and agreed not to hold her injury of Junior Brother Wu against her.
• Su Yueli offered old weapons as compensation, but Lie Yangfeng judged them insufficient to match the venom hooks’ value.
• Su Yueli showed Lie Yangfeng five herbs, and he revealed strong interest in a dark-blue herb he identified as Sky-Blue Silver-Spotted Grass.
• Lie Yangfeng offered three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for the herb, counting the venom hooks’ compensation in the price, and Su Yueli accepted.
• Su Yueli exchanged the herb for Lie Yangfeng’s Cosmic Bag and realized she still had three unusual herbs in her Storage Pouch.

Su Yueli kept the Spirit Stones she received from Lie Yangfeng and trained while recovering from her injuries in Black Wind Valley. When Qi Feng returned, she handed him the two venom hooks he had requested, leaving him astonished by her strength.

• Lie Yangfeng rebuked Junior Brother Wu and the red-robed female cultivator for nearly dying after provoking Su Yueli, and warned them not to make enemies of people with unknown origins.

• Qi Feng arrived at the stone hall and anxiously asked whether Su Yueli was all right after hearing she had clashed with Lie Yangfeng.
• Su Yueli gave Qi Feng the two venom hooks from Early Third Realm Red-Tailed Venom Scorpions, and he promised to pass her the full reward after returning to his sect.

Su Yueli exchanged her Spirit Stones for martial resources in Heavenly Abyss City and learned that the Myriad Treasures Trading House was holding a major auction. She offered a rare Sky-Blue Silver-Spotted Grass for the auction and was invited to meet the trading house’s appraiser.

• A trading house attendant told Su Yueli about an upcoming auction featuring incomplete martial arts manuals and ten-thousand-year bone-root medicine.
• Su Yueli showed the attendant a Sky-Blue Silver-Spotted Grass, and the attendant invited her to the second-floor VIP room for an appraisal.

Su Yueli sold rare spirit herbs to the Myriad Treasures Trading House and arranged to exchange the proceeds for martial artist resources at an upcoming auction. Realizing she had left an entire valley of valuable herbs behind in the Azure Cloud Kingdom Ruins, she resolved to return and recover them after investigating Shen Huai'an and increasing her strength.

• Su Yueli showed the chief appraiser a five-hundred-year-old Sky-Blue Silver-Spotted Grass, then placed two more on the table for sale.

• Su Yueli realized that the Azure Cloud Kingdom Ruins had held a whole valley of valuable spirit herbs she had left behind.
• Su Yueli resolved to return to the Azure Cloud Kingdom Forbidden Grounds after investigating Shen Huai'an's affairs and breaking through in strength.

Su Yueli attended the Myriad Treasures Trading House auction in disguise, hoping to exchange her spirit herbs for a cultivation technique while protecting herself from cultivators. When Azure Cloud Sect members arrived, she recognized them as the people responsible for her family’s deaths and Shen Qing'an’s death, and her desire for revenge surged.

• Su Yueli swallowed her last Blood Marrow Pill and spent two days cultivating the Ultimate Dao Fist Technique, growing stronger without finding a clear path to the Eleventh Realm.
• Su Yueli wore a black hooded robe and entered the auction through the VIP passage, settling into a protected room overlooking the hall.
• Su Yueli saw elders from the Azure Moon Sect and Red Sun Sect arrive, including Lie Yangfeng, and suspected the grand finale treasure had drawn important figures.
• Su Yueli heard that the Azure Cloud Sect had come seeking a longevity-extending spirit medicine for its Supreme Elder.
• Su Yueli recognized the Azure Cloud Sect members as the culprits behind her parents’ deaths and Shen Qing'an’s death, crushed her chair’s backrest, and fixed them with killing intent.

Su Yueli attended the Myriad Treasures Trading House auction and bought a mortal martial technique that cultivators mocked. The auction continued as the great sect elders prepared to bid on the finale herbs.

• Su Yueli concealed her strength and killing intent after assessing the powerful Azure Cloud Sect group.
• Elders from the Red Sun Sect, Azure Cloud Sect, and Azure Moon Sect exchanged remarks, while Heavenly Crane introduced himself from the hall below.
• The auction began, and bidders quickly bought a Third Realm Peak Black Tortoise Shield, spirit pills, and flying swords.
• The auctioneer offered the Mountain-Shattering Heavenbreaker Force, a Qi and Blood technique left by a mortal Martial God, and the cultivators mocked it.
• Su Yueli bid fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones and won the technique, valuing the rare inheritance despite the crowd's contempt.
• The sect elders joked about Room Eight's purchase, and Elder Zhao warned Elder Han to save his Spirit Stones for the finale herbs.

Su Yueli profited from selling spirit herbs at the auction and used the bidding to exact revenge on the Azure Cloud Sect. Her Purple Firmament Life-Extending Vine drew offers of rare pills, but its exchange was postponed until the second half, as she waited for the auction’s final treasures.

• Elder Han bid against other cultivators for the Sky-Blue Silver-Spotted Grasses, but Su Yueli raised the price before stopping, and the Azure Cloud Sect bought them for 1,900 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Su Yueli’s five-hundred-year Blood Spirit Lingzhi sold for 1,350 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
• The auctioneer announced that the Purple Firmament Life-Extending Vine could be exchanged only for three Godlink Blood-Replenishing Pills made from Seventh- or Eighth-Realm demon beast blood.
• Elder Han and the Heavenly Crane Daoist asked for time to retrieve the required pills, so the auctioneer postponed the exchange until the second half of the auction.
• Su Yueli considered her gains and watched the stage, anticipating the two final treasures.

Su Yueli watched the auction’s grand finale items and received the Godlink Blood-Replenishing Pills she needed to challenge the Eleventh Realm of Martial Dao. The final lot was a True Spirit Dharma Image Jade Fragment that might awaken a Martial Soul in a martial artist, and the auction opened at five hundred Superior Spirit Stones.

• Su Yueli watched the auction’s ordinary treasures sell, knowing she could neither use them nor afford to compete with the great sects.
• Elder Zhao of the Azure Moon Sect won the Purple-Gold Eight-Trigram Furnace with a bid of eight hundred Superior Spirit Stones.
• A Myriad Treasures Trading House attendant delivered three verified Godlink Blood-Replenishing Pills that Su Yueli had requested from the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Su Yueli put the pills away, believing they and her Century-Old Blood Essence Grass could help her reach the Eleventh Realm of Martial Dao.
• The auctioneer presented a True Spirit Dharma Image Jade Fragment that might help an Extreme Martial Artist condense a Martial Soul, and set its opening bid at five hundred Superior Spirit Stones.

Su Yueli sold her remaining spirit herbs directly to the Myriad Treasures Trading House for 1,600 Superior Spirit Stones so she could bid for the True Spirit Dharma Image Jade Fragment. As the auction price climbed, Azure Cloud Sect made a final bid of 1,000 Superior Spirit Stones and said it would yield if either rival surpassed it.

• Su Yueli felt her Ultimate Dao Blood Qi react to the True Spirit Dharma Image Jade Fragment and decided she had to obtain it despite lacking enough Spirit Stones.
• Su Yueli asked the chief appraiser to value her remaining herbs, which he estimated at 1,300 Superior Spirit Stones, including three exceptionally rare herbs.
• The chief appraiser said the fragment’s owner would accept only Spirit Stones, so Su Yueli sold the herbs to the Myriad Treasures Trading House for 1,600 Superior Spirit Stones.
• The bidding for the fragment reached 850 Superior Spirit Stones, leaving only Red Sun Sect, Azure Moon Sect, and Azure Cloud Sect competing.
• Elder Han bid 1,000 Superior Spirit Stones on the gaunt elder’s order and declared that Azure Cloud Sect would stop bidding if either rival offered more.

Su Yueli outbid the Azure Cloud Sect for the True Spirit Dharma Image Jade Fragment, which strongly attracted the Ultimate Dao Blood Qi in her body and could help her reach the Eleventh Realm. After spending most of her Superior Spirit Stones, she left the auction with the fragment and her other purchased treasures, while the Azure Cloud Sect plotted to ambush her outside Heavenly Abyss City.

• The Azure Cloud Sect believed it had won the fragment until Su Yueli bid at the last moment from VIP Room Eight.
• Elder Han asked the bidder to yield the fragment, but Su Yueli refused and challenged the Azure Cloud Sect to raise its offer.
• Su Yueli and the Azure Cloud Sect repeatedly raised their bids, while the sect ran short of Superior Spirit Stones and could not pay with other valuables.

• The Azure Cloud Sect's gaunt old man ordered Han Fei to watch Room Eight and threatened to seize Su Yueli's possessions if she left the city.
• Su Yueli received the Mountain-Shattering Heavenbreaker Force, the True Spirit Dharma Image Jade Fragment, and the Godlink Blood-Replenishing Pill, leaving her with two hundred Superior Spirit Stones.

Su Yueli used the three days she had in the Myriad Treasures Trading House to refine the Godlink Blood-Replenishing Pills and pursue a breakthrough to the Eleventh Realm, which she named Delusion-Breaking. She left the trading house in disguise and headed for Heavenly Abyss City’s gates while the Azure Cloud Sect watched for her.

• Su Yueli decided to stay in her VIP room for three days to strengthen herself before facing the Azure Cloud Sect.
• She swallowed all three Godlink Blood-Replenishing Pills and used her Ultimate Fist Force to refine their violent power as she searched the realms’ mist for an anchor.
• After the maid announced the three-day limit, Su Yueli emerged from cultivation much stronger, though she was unsure whether she had fully reached the Eleventh Realm.
• Su Yueli named the new realm Delusion-Breaking and left the trading house in a black hooded robe.
• She slipped through the crowded streets, removed the conspicuous robe, disguised herself as an ordinary noblewoman, and headed toward the gates of Heavenly Abyss City.

Su Yueli bought a gourd of Immortal Brew and a jade hairpin while waiting for nightfall in Heavenly Abyss City. To avoid drawing the Azure Cloud Sect’s attention when leaving, she applied to join a caravan and revealed a trace of her Blood Qi to prove her strength.

• Su Yueli bought Immortal Brew and found that its spiritual power mildly stimulated her Ultimate Dao Blood Qi.
• Su Yueli bought a jade hairpin from a persistent peddler and continued wandering through the city.
• Su Yueli decided to join the Myriad Commerce caravan to Blackwater City so she could leave without traveling alone.
• The caravan steward tried to dissuade Su Yueli, and she released a trace of Blood Qi that silenced the martial artists and turned the steward pale.

Su Yueli joined a caravan leaving Heavenly Abyss City, hoping to evade the Azure Cloud Sect after winning the True Spirit Dharma Image Jade Fragment. Just beyond the city gates, she sensed a cultivator watching from a distant pavilion and prepared for trouble.

• Su Yueli revealed her Peak Sixth Realm cultivation and accepted Steward Lin’s offer to escort the caravan to Blackwater City.
• Steward Lin introduced Su Yueli to the young master, and the caravan departed with her and nine other guards.
• As the caravan neared the gates, Su Yueli worried that the Azure Cloud Sect might recognize and intercept her.
• Su Yueli saw no Azure Cloud Sect cultivators at the gates and thought they might have withdrawn after losing track of her.
• After the caravan passed through the gates, Su Yueli sensed a cultivator spreading spiritual energy from a pavilion beyond the city and placed her hand on her fist blade.

Su Yueli tried to pass an Azure Cloud Sect search outside the city without exposing the auction items in her Storage Pouch. After the cultivator searched the caravan’s other belongings, he singled her out as the last person to inspect.

• An Azure Cloud Sect cultivator stopped Myriad Commerce’s caravan and used divine sense to check its carriages, finding only a mortal youth and ordinary goods.
• Su Yueli relaxed when the cultivator initially let the caravan continue, believing the private room’s defensive formation had concealed the mysterious guest’s identity.
• The cultivator abruptly halted the caravan again and demanded that everyone reveal their belongings and Storage Pouches.
• The cultivator searched the martial artists’ bundles and found only mundane items as he continued looking for the missing immortal herbs and True Spirit Fragment.
• The cultivator pointed at Su Yueli and ordered her to hand over everything she carried, while the caravan watched.

Su Yueli survived an Azure Cloud Sect disciple’s attempt to search her belongings when he left to pursue a fleeing cultivator. She continued with the Myriad Commerce caravan, then studied Mountain-Shattering Heavenbreaker Force overnight and woke with two hidden forces gathered in her right arm.

• Su Yueli prepared to attack the Azure Cloud Sect disciple, but he sensed a cultivator fleeing in the distance and flew off in pursuit.
• After confirming the disciple was gone, Old Lin ordered the caravan to move, and Zhang warned Su Yueli not to challenge cultivators.
• Su Yueli planned to leave the caravan after dark, but stayed with it and studied Mountain-Shattering Heavenbreaker Force beside the campfire.
• Su Yueli practiced compressing Qi and Blood into her arm bones through the night and woke at dawn feeling two hidden forces in her right arm.
• Su Yueli remained unsure whether she had mastered the technique and decided to travel with the caravan a little longer.

Su Yueli used her newly comprehended Mountain-Shattering Heavenbreaker Force to kill a demon beast attacking the convoy. An Azure Cloud Sect cultivator then confronted her, revealing that he had recognized her disguise and believed she had deceived him.

• A Long-Haired Black Panther attacked the convoy, injured several martial artists, and retreated after Old Zhang wounded its eye.
• A second Bristled Black Panther lunged for the young master's carriage, and Su Yueli appeared and killed it with a punch.
• Su Yueli sensed a cultivator approaching and watched the sky after the convoy fell silent.
• The Azure Cloud Sect cultivator landed before the convoy, accused Su Yueli of deceiving him, and declared that she had dared to oppose his sect.

Su Yueli killed an Azure Cloud Sect disciple with one punch, then looted his Storage Pouch and left the convoy to avoid pursuit. After discovering the disciple’s death, Elder Han sent his disciples to search for the hidden Ultimate Dao Martial Artist, while two of them arrogantly discussed how they would defeat her.

• Su Yueli killed the Azure Cloud Sect youth with a single punch before his spiritual barrier or protective magic treasure could activate.
• Su Yueli ordered Steward Lin and the convoy to leave, then searched the corpse and took its Storage Pouch.
• Elder Han discovered Junior Nephew Li’s shattered soul plaque and led disciples to the body, where he concluded that an Ultimate Dao Martial Artist had killed him.
• Elder Han split six disciples into pairs to search in different directions and warned them not to confront the suspected killer alone.
• Two Third Realm disciples searching west dismissed Su Yueli’s strength and planned to attack her from a distance with magic treasures and spells.

Su Yueli fled Azure Cloud Sect’s pursuit, but two disciples discovered her and forced her into a fight. She killed them, yet one sent up a Whistling Arrow before dying, revealing her location to Elder Han, who raced toward her.

• Su Yueli hid in a grass pit as two Azure Cloud Sect disciples searched for her, but one decided to burn the grass and flush her out.
• Su Yueli ambushed the disciples, severely injuring one and attacking the other, but her attempt to activate a looted bronze mirror failed because she lacked Spiritual Power.
• Su Yueli fought the Third Realm Peak cultivator at close range and killed him with her hidden force and fist blade.
• The remaining disciple launched Azure Cloud Sect’s enemy signal before Su Yueli killed him, and she took both Storage Pouches and fled into the forest.
• Elder Han and the other searching disciples spotted the Whistling Arrow, and Elder Han flew toward Su Yueli’s location.

Su Yueli fled toward a dangerous secret realm but was intercepted by Elder Han and four Azure Cloud Sect disciples. After burning thirty years of her lifespan to survive Elder Han’s attack, she reached the secret realm entrance and collapsed inside.

• Su Yueli changed course toward a nearby secret realm, but Elder Han caught up and blocked her path with four Azure Cloud Sect disciples.
• Su Yueli struck Elder Han with her Mountain-Shattering Heavenbreaker Force, briefly shocking him with her strength, but he retaliated with a colossal spiritual-power python.
• Su Yueli used the Ultimate Dao Fifth Form, Life Burning, sacrificing thirty years of her lifespan to withstand the attack and propel herself toward the secret realm.
• Elder Han and the four disciples pursued the gravely wounded Su Yueli as she struggled toward the entrance.
• Su Yueli plunged into the secret realm’s twisted mist and fell unconscious.
