Chapter Summaries

Yue Shuo’s first lesson from Elder Ning triggered a dangerous transformation that raised his Soul Power to Fourth-Tier and nearly sent his Divine Soul merging with the Dao. Yan Ning and Elder Ning stopped him and explained that his body, cultivation, and Divine Soul had to stay balanced; they advised him to strengthen his constitution or cultivation before advancing his Soul Power.

• After Elder Ning confirmed his cultivation direction, Yue Shuo experienced Enlightenment and his Soul Power reached Fourth-Tier, but his Divine Soul began yearning to leave his body and fly toward the Dao.
• Yan Ning shouted for Yue Shuo to calm his mind and restrain his Soul Power, preventing him from losing himself as his Soul Power settled just below ten thousand.
• Elder Ning explained that a Foundation Establishment cultivator lacked a vessel to bear Dao laws, and Yan Ning elaborated that a Golden Core provided the foundation for building a Dao Vessel.
• Yue Shuo understood the need to balance his constitution, cultivation, and Divine Soul, and Yan Ning told him to stop raising his Soul Power until one of the other two reached Third-Tier Golden Core.
• After Yue Shuo clarified that his real name was Yue Shuo, Yan Ning explained that powerful beings with physical strength but no intelligence were called Demonic Beasts.

Yue Shuo learned from Yan Ning about Body Tempering, the Beast Taming Sect, and the importance of Divine Soul potential during their journey. He arrived at the sect’s mountain gate and encountered a mysterious crystalline energy beast that asked who he was.

• Yue Shuo told Yan Ning that he had only encountered the Bloodsucking Demon Insects of the Demon Spirit Sect, and she said Demonic Beasts were different.
• Yan Ning explained how the Beast Taming Sect supported Body Tempering and how constitution strength affected its Spirit Beast Unity divine ability.
• Yan Ning told Yue Shuo that the sect could test and restrict access to his talents, and she answered his cultivation questions during their journey.
• As they approached the sect, Yue Shuo asked Yan Ning and Elder Ning to give him another chance if anything prevented his entry, and Yan Ning reassured him that his Divine Soul talent made rejection unlikely.
• Yue Shuo crossed into the Beast Taming Sect’s magnificent mountain domain, saw a crystalline energy beast in the clouds, and answered its question by saying, “I am Yue Shuo!”

Yue Shuo completed the Heart-Questioning process and discovered that the palace contained the Beast Taming Sect’s supreme treasure, Artifact Spirit Ze. After learning that his potential qualified him as a Prodigy Disciple, he arranged to conceal his identity and talents, leaving his entry registration complete.

• Yue Shuo found himself alone in a palace before the Heart-Questioning Mirror and asked how to take the Beast Taming Sect’s entrance examination.
• Artifact Spirit Ze detected Yue Shuo’s Inner Three-Feather Disciple authority and assessed his physique, cultivation, and Divine Soul.
• Yue Shuo questioned Artifact Spirit Ze about submitting his results and learned that the sect’s supreme treasure could grant him public and hidden identities.
• Yue Shuo registered Su Yu as his concealed identity and arranged to hide his true age and talent assessment.
• Artifact Spirit Ze assessed Yue Shuo’s potential as Immortal Tier Mid-Grade, qualifying him as a Prodigy Disciple, and Yue Shuo chose not to test his Spiritual Root.

Yue Shuo learned that his potential could qualify him to pursue the Beast Taming Sect's Dao Child position once he became a Core Disciple and completed an inheritance task. After leaving the Inheritance Hall, he reunited with Elder Ning and Yan Ning and received his Identity Jade Token, then asked where he could cultivate while awaiting a Spirit Peak assignment.

• Yue Shuo asked Artifact Spirit Ze about his Heavenly Spirit Root assessment and learned that Dao Child candidates needed Core Disciple-level strength, Immortal-Grade Prodigy potential, and a completed inheritance task.
• Artifact Spirit Ze told Yue Shuo that the previous Dao Child had been missing for over a thousand years, that no one had completed an inheritance task, and that he had to leave the Inheritance Hall.
• Yue Shuo asked Artifact Spirit Ze to teleport him to Elder Ning and Yan Ning, and it sent him to a Spirit Peak near their palace.
• Elder Ning and Yan Ning welcomed Yue Shuo, and Yan Ning explained the functions of the Identity Jade Token that Yue Shuo had received and refined.
• Yue Shuo asked Elder Ning and Yan Ning where he should cultivate because the sect had not yet assigned him a Spirit Peak.

Yue Shuo learned that his Chaos-type physique made the sect’s Upper Realm inheritance, the Chaos Gods and Devils Body Tempering Formula, a better choice than his master’s technique. After applying for it, he was summoned by Senior Ze to receive the inheritance.

• Yan Ning advised Yue Shuo to choose a new cultivation technique and explained that his master could provide a body-tempering art.
• Yue Shuo discovered that his physique was identified as a Chaos Jade Origin Body, and his talents had fused into a single talent on his panel.
• Yan Ning explained the difference between Chaos and attribute-less physiques and recommended the sect’s Chaos Spirit Controlling Scripture.
• Yue Shuo learned that its intact body-tempering portion was the top-grade Fifth-Tier Chaos Gods and Devils Body Tempering Formula, which could carry him to Ascension.
• Elder Ning approved Yue Shuo’s application, and Senior Ze summoned him to receive the technique inheritance.

Yan Ning and Ning Xin planned to spend their saved points on Yue Shuo’s cultivation of Chaos Body Tempering, believing his talent and future alchemy could repay the investment. Yue Shuo learned how costly the method was, exchanged for two Chaos Blood Crystals, and concluded that the Beast Taming Sect treated him generously.

• Yan Ning praised Yue Shuo’s character and credited her judgment for urging Ning Xin to take him as a disciple.
• Ning Xin explained that he had enough points to support Yue Shuo’s Chaos Body Tempering to the Third-Tier, though the method’s later stages would require far more resources.
• Yan Ning and Ning Xin decided to use Ning Xin’s remaining eight million points to cultivate Yue Shuo rather than save for their own breakthrough pills.
• Ze told Yue Shuo that establishing the first stages of Chaos Body Tempering required costly Chaos Blood Crystals, leaving him short of the points needed for the next stage.
• Yue Shuo applied to exchange for two Chaos Blood Crystals and reflected on his generous entry benefits before praising the Beast Taming Sect.

Yue Shuo used his sect points to earn alchemist certification, acquire alchemy supplies and inheritances, and exchange for two Chaos Blood Crystals. After Artifact Spirit Ze teleported him back to his master and martial uncle, they gave him three more crystals and urged him to focus on Body Tempering.

• Yue Shuo asked Artifact Spirit Ze about alchemy missions and learned he needed alchemist certification, then passed the Second-Tier assessment as a Peak Second-Tier Alchemist.
• Yue Shuo bought alchemy inheritances, pill formulas, materials, and two Chaos Blood Crystals with his sect points.
• Artifact Spirit Ze advised Yue Shuo to rebuild his Body Tempering and reach Third-Tier before pursuing activities that benefited his Divine Soul, then teleported him back to his master and martial uncle.
• Yue Shuo told his master and Martial Uncle Yan Ning that he had obtained the first four tiers of the Chaos Gods and Devils Body Tempering Formula.
• Yue Shuo opened the jade box his master gave him and found three more Chaos Blood Crystals.

Yue Shuo settled into his new cave dwelling and prepared to begin rebuilding his Body Tempering foundation with the Chaos Blood Crystals he had received. After checking on his companions and considering his family, he resolved to cultivate first and return to look for them once he reached Golden Core.

• Yue Shuo thanked his master and martial uncle, who arranged his cave dwelling and taught him about cultivation and managing a Spirit Peak.
• Yue Shuo learned that his master was skilled at Artifact Refining and decided to ask for lessons after reaching the Body Tempering Third-Tier.
• Yue Shuo checked on Azure Feather, the little snake, and the Giant Whale, which had joined his Minor Sea Domain.
• Yue Shuo sensed that Shi Wanli's Sub-Panel still existed and concluded that Shi Wanli was likely alive.
• Yue Shuo decided to look for the Yue Family and possibly bring Eldest Brother, Third Brother, and the others into the sect after reaching Golden Core.

Yue Shuo began cultivating the Chaos Gods and Devils Body Tempering Formula from its purest foundation, using his Chaos Jade Origin Body to fuse Chaos Blood Crystals. Taiji helped him refine the crystals and absorb vast spiritual energy, until his cultivation suddenly stopped beneath gathering thunderclouds.

• Yue Shuo chose to build a pure Chaos Body Tempering foundation from the beginning and prepared to fuse a Chaos Blood Crystal.
• Yue Shuo pressed a Chaos Blood Crystal into his chest and began the inherited body-tempering movements, enduring violent heat and shedding old blood.
• Yue Shuo cultivated Taiji to ease the agitation and continued refining the Blood Crystal without the heart palpitations he had expected.
• Yue Shuo used Taiji to absorb blood mist, more Chaos Blood Crystals, and the spiritual energy stored in his cultivation chamber and his master's Spirit Peak.
• Yue Shuo absorbed all five Blood Crystals, bringing his Second-Stage Taiji close to perfection before his energy absorption abruptly stopped and black thunderclouds gathered above the Beast Taming Sect.

Yue Shuo’s attempt to cultivate the Chaos Sacred Body nearly drew heavenly punishment, but Senior Ze intervened and warned him to keep his head down. Yue Shuo discovered that 108 Chaos Blood Crystals had fused into his body and tried to find out whether he had reached Third-Tier Body Tempering.

• Ning Xin and Yan Ning watched a terrifying tribulation gather over the Beast Taming Sect and hoped their disciple’s future cultivation would help them reach Spirit Transformation.
• Yue Shuo stopped cultivating when he sensed danger, and Senior Ze said his Chaos Sacred Body had reached Half-Awakening and the realm could not withstand it.
• Senior Ze sent Yue Shuo a mass of Chaos Blood Crystals, suppressing their restless energy while Yue Shuo’s Divine Soul and Stellar Fate Art helped him resist the awakening.
• The Treasure Mirror controlled by Senior Ze swallowed the thunderclouds and the forming Eye of Heavenly Punishment, though Yue Shuo saw cracks on the mirror’s surface.
• Senior Ze told Yue Shuo not to awaken his Chaos Sacred Body again, warned him to remain in the Beast Taming Sect until the heavenly punishment’s lock faded, and said he owed over eighty million points.
• Yue Shuo sensed that 108 Chaos Blood Crystals had fused into his body, then asked Senior Ze whether he had reached Third-Tier Body Tempering and checked his attribute panel.

Yue Shuo discovered that his body, lifespan, spiritual roots, and cultivation had grown stronger after Taiji advanced, but Senior Ze warned him that the inheritance had attracted Heavenly Punishment. Yue Shuo learned to avoid cultivating Taiji until the punishment’s lingering trace faded and decided to stay cautious while he sought a way to keep growing without advancing realms.

• Yue Shuo examined his attribute panel and found his lifespan limit had risen by a thousand years, his spiritual roots had become a pseudo Chaos Spiritual Root, and his physique, divine soul, and cultivation had improved.
• Yue Shuo examined Taiji’s advancement details and learned that it had boosted his Chaos Sacred Body, strengthened his roots, and increased his Unknown Bloodline.
• Yue Shuo tried a Second-Tier Taiji stance, but Senior Ze angrily warned him that the inheritance could kill people and should not be cultivated for now.
• Senior Ze said Yue Shuo had drawn Heaven’s envy, concealed his connection to the Heavenly Punishment, and advised him to stay in or bring his two junior companions if he went out.
• Yue Shuo realized the lingering Heavenly Punishment had hidden Taiji’s details and could prevent him from grinding its proficiency until the trace wore away.
• Yue Shuo decided to avoid going out or advancing to Golden Core for now, then asked Senior Ze whether the sect had a way to grow his cultivation without advancing realms.

Yue Shuo chose the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation-Transference Scripture as his next cultivation technique, and his master and martial uncle supported him with an exchange privilege. After he began receiving the inheritance, Ning Xin and Yan Ning wondered whether Elder Ze saw potential in him as a future True Disciple and worried that a major event might be approaching.

• Yue Shuo used his special exchange benefits to select the Phoenix Nirvana Tribulation-Transference Scripture and arranged to receive its inheritance later.
• After breaking through to Body Tempering Third-Tier, Yue Shuo visited Ning Xin and Yan Ning, who praised his progress and discussed preparing a Divine Weapon Embryo for him.
• Yue Shuo told his master and martial uncle that Senior Ze had advised him to choose the scripture, while keeping his other secrets to himself.
• Ning Xin gave Yue Shuo an exchange privilege, and Yue Shuo accepted the inheritance without deducting points, promising to repay the cost by refining pills.
• Ning Xin and Yan Ning speculated that Elder Ze believed Yue Shuo could become a True Disciple and connected his cultivation to the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and a possible major event in the sect.

The Beast Taming Sect’s elders investigated the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, but Elder Ze refused to explain its cause. Ning Xin and Yan Ning discussed possible trouble and a future sect competition, just as Yue Shuo arrived and asked whether he was expected to enter an alchemy competition.

• The sect’s Supreme Elders questioned one another about the Heavenly Punishment, then contacted Elder Ze, who gave them no explanation.
• The Supreme Elders briefly emerged from seclusion to guide their disciples, and Ning Xin regretted that Yue Shuo had missed the chance to meet his senior uncle.
• Ning Xin and Yan Ning discussed their senior uncle’s warning of trouble ahead and the possibility of a Central Province grand competition.
• Yan Ning said Yue Shuo had no need to compete because he was an alchemist, and Yue Shuo was teleported over by Artifact Spirit Ze and asked if they meant an alchemy competition.

Yue Shuo learned that the Beast Taming Sect planned to move up its grand competition after the Eye of Heavenly Punishment appeared, and asked whether disciple recruitment would also happen early. He arranged to bring his talented family members to the sect, but his martial uncle was stunned to learn that Yue Shuo's eldest brother was only fifteen.

• Yan Ning told Yue Shuo that the sect grand competition might be moved forward because of a major incident, which turned out to be the appearance of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
• Yue Shuo asked whether the Outer Sect recruitment would also be moved forward and explained his plan to bring family members to join the sect.
• Yan Ning offered to look into recruitment for Yue Shuo's family and reminded him that candidates had to be under eighteen.
• Yue Shuo said his eldest brother had only turned fifteen not long ago, prompting Yan Ning to ask whether the two brothers were twins.

Yue Shuo told Elder Ning Xin and Yan Ning about his family in Sea Prefecture, and they decided to fetch them and bring them to the Beast Taming Sect. He stayed behind to cultivate, trusting his master and martial uncle to return with his family safely.

• Elder Ning Xin and Yan Ning learned that Yue Shuo was thirteen and marveled at his exceptional cultivation and talent.
• Yue Shuo explained that his family came from the Yue Family of Sea Prefecture and shared his worry about his pregnant mother traveling there.
• Yan Ning recognized the Yue Family, and she and Elder Ning Xin offered to bring Yue Shuo's family back to the sect themselves.
• Yan Ning transformed into a Spirit Bird and departed with Elder Ning Xin after Yue Shuo wrote a letter for his family.
• Yue Shuo chose to remain in his cave dwelling and continue cultivating while preparing to repay his debt through alchemy.

Yue Shuo accepted Pill Peak missions to refine Essence-Concentrating Pills and spent the day practicing new Third-Tier recipes while improving his technique. The chapter ended when his Identity Jade Token reminded him that he had forgotten to collect the mission materials.

• Yue Shuo checked his alchemy rank and learned that his Core Disciple exchange privileges let him trade 40 points for each Supreme-Grade Essence-Concentrating Pill.
• Yue Shuo accepted twenty Pill Peak missions to refine Second-Tier Essence-Concentrating Pills and arranged for Pill Peak to deliver the materials.
• Yue Shuo studied his Fourth-Tier alchemy inheritance, then practiced a new Third-Tier pill formula and succeeded on his second attempt.
• Yue Shuo refined several unfamiliar Third-Tier pills, improving their quality through repeated practice and mental review.
• Yue Shuo immersed himself in alchemy for a day until his Identity Jade Token alerted him that he had forgotten to collect the mission materials.

Yue Shuo collected Alchemy materials, earned sect points by completing tasks, and continued refining pills while his debt remained enormous. When another delivery arrived, he found more than the Pill Peak Celestial Crane waiting outside the mountain formation.

• Yue Shuo gave Supreme-Grade Essence-Concentrating Pills to the Celestial Crane collecting his materials, submitted the task, and persuaded the bird to leave.
• Yue Shuo considered raising Celestial Cranes and bringing his family to help manage his Spirit Peak, but returned to refining pills.
• Yue Shuo tested fifteen new Third-Tier Pill Formulas and eventually refined a High-Grade Spirit Pill.
• Yue Shuo confirmed his twenty Essence-Concentrating Pill tasks were complete and earned five thousand points, leaving his balance at negative 82,195,000 points.
• Yue Shuo accepted materials for forty more tasks and continued refining while waiting for their delivery.
• Yue Shuo went to collect the early delivery, then stopped when he saw that someone besides the Pill Peak Celestial Crane was outside the formation.

Yue Shuo completed successive Essence-Concentrating Pill missions to pay down his contribution-point debt, while growing fond of the two Celestial Cranes that delivered his materials. He raised his mission limit to 640 portions, but his alchemy rank capped further increases, and he still owed over eighty-one million contribution points.

• Yue Shuo exchanged Supreme-Grade Essence-Concentrating Pills for materials, completed a mission, and rewarded the two Celestial Cranes that delivered them.
• Yue Shuo considered adopting the cranes but paused when he learned their affiliated Spirit Peak had to approve a transfer.
• Yue Shuo accepted successive missions and refined Third-Tier Spirit Pills while waiting for deliveries and mission evaluations.
• Yue Shuo completed six rounds of missions, raising his material limit to 640 portions before his Peak Second-Tier Alchemist rank stopped him from increasing it further.
• Yue Shuo cleared roughly three hundred thousand contribution points of debt, leaving his balance at -81885000.

Yue Shuo stopped taking Essence-Concentrating Pill tasks, completed his Third-Tier Alchemist assessment, and learned that his family had arrived at the Beast Taming Sect. He welcomed them to Blazing Gold Peak and began arranging their stay and his growing responsibilities.

• Yue Shuo sent the exhausted Celestial Cranes home to rest and decided to stop accepting tasks while he prepared for the Third-Tier Alchemist assessment.
• Yue Shuo refined three kinds of Third-Tier Spirit Pills at supreme grade, passed Senior Ze's assessment, and became a Third-Tier Peak-Grade Alchemist.
• Yue Shuo received word from his master and martial uncle that his family had been brought to the sect.
• Yue Shuo welcomed his family of five, Qi Xin, Fang Tong, Gu Yang, and Shi Heng at the foot of Blazing Gold Peak.
• Yue Shuo brought the group to stay near his cave residence while they arranged their sect identities and future living plans.
• Yue Shuo learned that his master had also entrusted him with managing the mountainside and lower area of Blazing Gold Peak.

Yue Shuo arranged places for Qi Xin, Fang Tong, and Shi Heng as Servant Disciples on his spirit peak and promised cultivation support. His cousin Gu Yang asked for a fair chance to compete for advancement within the Beast Taming Sect.

• Yue Shuo welcomed his family and companions into his cave abode and offered Qi Xin and Fang Tong Servant Disciple positions, with steward posts available if they reached Foundation Establishment.
• Yue Shuo promised Qi Xin and Fang Tong cultivation resources and Foundation Establishment Pills while explaining the limits on Qi Refining cultivators’ sect placements.
