Chapter Summaries

As the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill was completed, Li Changqing seized it from Hun Tiandi and revealed that he had infiltrated the Hun Clan with the goal of obtaining it. Surrounded in the Soul World, Li Changqing faced Hun Tiandi’s threat and prepared to test the Hun Clan’s strength.

• Hun Tiandi ordered the Hun Clan to search the continent for Li Changqing and activate the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Formation to forge the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade.

• Hun Tiandi attacked with the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade, but Li Changqing blocked it with a Peng claw, and their clash sent both of them reeling.
• Li Changqing spat a barrage of Yin-Yang Flame swords at Hun Tiandi, who blocked them with a barrier formed from the energy of heaven and earth.

Li Changqing dominated his battle with Hun Tiandi, swallowing his strongest blade attack before freezing Hun Tiandi with Lunar Water. After Hun Tiandi broke free at great cost, he refused to retreat and ordered the remaining Hun Clan members to sacrifice themselves to the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade.

• The Blood Emperor Body's destruction subsided, ending the continent's crisis, and Li Changqing told Xiao Yan he planned to refine Hun Tiandi into an Emperor Pill.

After refining Hun Tiandi into a blood-red pill, Li Changqing refused Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun’s offers to trade for it and said he planned to leave the Dou Qi Continent. Before he could find a place to rest, a Spacetime Black Hole appeared, and he furiously cursed the heavens.

• Li Changqing angrily raised his middle finger at the black hole and cursed the heavens for not letting him rest.

Li Changqing was pulled into the Spacetime Black Hole and survived its Space-Time Turbulence with the protection of the Kunpeng True Blood. After witnessing a mysterious man in a space-time fragment, he emerged in a new world among an eerie range of black mountains.

• The Spacetime Black Hole sucked Li Changqing away and vanished, leaving Xiao Yan, Gu Yuan, and Zhu Kun to wonder what had happened.
• Xiao Yan decided not to search for Li Changqing and left with Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun to rebuild the Central Plains.
• Li Changqing used the Kunpeng Method to resist the Space-Time Turbulence, but when his barrier shattered, the Kunpeng True Blood protected him.
• As Li Changqing drifted toward a rift, he saw a vast universe and the River of Space-Time in a fragment, where a heroic-looking man turned and looked directly at him.
• Li Changqing passed through the rift, fell into a black mountain, and found himself surrounded by towering peaks and an oppressive presence.

Li Changqing was stranded in the Black Mountains, where a Headless Knight pursued him on a Stone Horse. After narrowly dodging the knight’s spear and burning his essence blood to flee, Li Changqing neared the edge of the mountains, where the surroundings began to turn green.

• Li Changqing sensed that a formation-like force blocked his Soul Force and spotted twenty-seven ominous peaks in the northern mist.
• A Headless Knight appeared on a Stone Horse and rapidly charged toward Li Changqing.
• Li Changqing activated the Kunpeng Method and flew south, but the Headless Knight pursued him and threw a black spear that shattered several peaks after he dodged it.
• Li Changqing burned his essence blood, swallowed the Emperor Pill refined from Hun Tiandi, and continued fleeing as the knight closed in.
• Li Changqing sensed the strange presence fading and saw green mountains ahead, then increased his speed toward the edge of the Black Mountains.

Li Changqing escaped the black mountains, recovered enough to continue south, and encountered a man who tried to rob him. As the man prepared to attack, Li Changqing realized he had just escaped the Undying Mountain and that the pursuing headless knight had been a Quasi-Emperor-level powerhouse’s avatar.

• Li Changqing crossed beyond the black mountains, where the headless knight turned into black mist and disappeared.
• After burning his Essence Blood to escape, Li Changqing flew south in search of a place to recover and find out where he was.
• A fat, middle-aged man emerged from the forest and demanded that Li Changqing hand over the opportunities he had obtained in the mountains.
• Li Changqing refused and told the man to hand over everything he owned instead.
• As the man prepared to attack, Li Changqing recognized his cultivation as corresponding to the five secret realms of Shrouding the Heavens and realized the black mountain range was the Undying Mountain.

Li Changqing defeated an Elder of the Light Jewel Holy Land who attacked him for the treasure he believed Li Changqing had found in the Undying Mountain. He captured the Elder and searched his belongings, intending to learn about the Big Dipper’s current era and obtain cultivation scriptures.

• The fat middle-aged man attacked Li Changqing with a golden sword, but Li Changqing caught and shattered it with one hand.
• The Elder summoned a golden Seven-Story Pagoda, but Li Changqing dodged it with his Golden Peng Wings and destroyed the Elder’s Sea of Bitterness with Yin-Yang Flame Qi.
• Li Changqing took the pagoda, knocked the Elder unconscious, and carried him to a secluded cave instead of killing him.
• Li Changqing searched the Elder’s Sea of Bitterness and found medicinal herbs, weapons, and more than two hundred thousand jin of Pure Source.
• Li Changqing planned to question the Elder about the Big Dipper’s timeline and obtain the Light Jewel Holy Land’s secret realm cultivation scriptures.

Li Changqing recovered with Divine Source, then forced the crippled Radiant Light Elder to surrender the Light Jewel Holy Land's inherited scriptures. As he considered his next question, Li Changqing thought of the Green Emperor and his failed attempt to evolve an Immortal Domain inside the Desolate Pagoda.

• Li Changqing used Divine Source from a jade bottle to replenish his Qi and blood with the Kunpeng Method.
• The Radiant Light Elder woke and tried to attack Li Changqing, but stopped when Li Changqing warned him.
• Li Changqing severed both of the Radiant Light Elder's legs and demanded the Light Jewel Holy Land's inherited scriptures.
• The Radiant Light Elder recited the scriptures, and Li Changqing memorized them.
• Li Changqing considered how to identify the current era and thought of the Green Emperor's attempt to evolve an Immortal Domain in the Desolate Pagoda.

Li Changqing learned that the world was in the Post-Desolate Era and that the Green Emperor had died over nine thousand years earlier, leaving him at most a thousand years before the Immortal Ascension Road opened. After deciding the era made becoming an emperor unlikely, he killed the Light Jewel Elder to prevent him from reporting back to the Light Jewel Holy Land.

• Li Changqing asked the Light Jewel Elder about the era and the last person to become an emperor.
• The Light Jewel Elder explained that the Big Dipper was in the Post-Desolate Era, Jiang Taixu had disappeared over three thousand years ago, and the Green Emperor had died over nine thousand years ago.
• Li Changqing compared the dates with the events of Shrouding the Heavens and concluded that Ye Fan would arrive in about eight hundred years and the Immortal Ascension Road would open in about a thousand.
• Li Changqing judged that the depleted Spiritual Qi and the Green Emperor's Dao suppression made becoming an emperor within a thousand years nearly impossible without Kunpeng True Blood.
• When the Light Jewel Elder asked to leave, Li Changqing promised him a reward and then burned him to ashes with Yin-Yang Flame so he could not report back to the Light Jewel Holy Land.

Li Changqing rapidly cultivated through the Sea of Bitterness and Dao Palace Secret Realms using Pure Source and Divine Source, then pushed into the Four Extremes Secret Realm. The Great Dao locked onto him and Heavenly Tribulation began as he stood calmly beneath the lightning.

• Li Changqing opened his Sea of Bitterness and, with the Inheritance Scripture of Radiant Light, advanced to the Other Shore in less than a day.
• After the Pure Source ran out, Li Changqing used Divine Source to build his Divine Bridge and reach the Other Shore without losing his way.
• Li Changqing entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm and completed it in a day, awakening a deity in each of his five divine repositories.
• Li Changqing continued toward the Four Extremes Secret Realm, sensed the Great Dao and the approaching Heavenly Tribulation, then flew out of the Cave.
• Thunderclouds gathered over the Mountain Range and golden lightning struck Li Changqing, who calmly endured the blows.
