Chapter Summaries

After surviving the Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation, Li Changqing considered how to obtain the Lunar and Solar True Scriptures but decided to wait until he was stronger. He forged a defensive Yin-Yang Tower from the divine patterns in his Sea of Bitterness and set off south to explore the Big Dipper.

• Li Changqing let the Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation strike him until its final bolt fell, then considered seeking the Lunar and Solar True Scriptures at Qishi Mansion or the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
• Li Changqing decided that Qishi Mansion had not opened and the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was too dangerous, so he would rely on the Light Jewel Holy Land scriptures for now.
• Li Changqing sent the Yin-Yang Sword into his Sea of Bitterness, where it settled amid the Yin-Yang Flame.
• Li Changqing gathered divine patterns from the four minor realms of his Wheel and Sea and forged them into a nine-story black-and-white tower, which he named the Yin-Yang Tower.
• Li Changqing left the cave and flew south to explore the Big Dipper.

Li Changqing reached Skyward City in the Central Region and planned to travel to the Southern Region to seek the Nine Secrets: Jie at Taixuan Sect’s Clumsy Peak. He went to the Dao One Sacred Ground’s base to use its domain gate, where two arrogant guards were questioning travelers.

• Li Changqing confirmed the timeline, bought a map of the Big Dipper, and decided to head for Taixuan Sect’s Clumsy Peak to obtain the Nine Secrets: Jie.
• Li Changqing considered the locations and dangers surrounding the other Nine Secrets and resolved to seek them only after becoming stronger.
• Li Changqing arrived in Skyward City, surveyed its busy streets, and passed up the local stone-gambling shops.
• Li Changqing reached the Dao One Sacred Ground’s base, where travelers waited to use its domain gate and two guards questioned those seeking entry.

Li Changqing went to Dao One Sacred Ground in Skyward City to use its Domain Gate to reach the Southern Region, paying the fee with a two-thousand-year-old spirit medicine. Dao One Sacred Ground's Elder Wanhua took the medicine and praised Liu Yuan for securing it, while Li Changqing remained unaware of the elder's reaction.

• Li Changqing arrived at Dao One Sacred Ground and joined the crowd waiting to use its Domain Gate.
• A Dragon Transformation cultivator announced the travel fees, and Li Changqing offered a two-thousand-year-old spirit medicine because he had no Source Stone.
• The Dragon Transformation cultivator took the spirit medicine and assigned Li Changqing to the Southern Region group.
• After the cultivators paid, Dao One Sacred Ground disciples led the Northern Region, Southern Region, and Central Plains groups to their Domain Gates.
• Liu Yuan presented Li Changqing's spirit medicine to Elder Wanhua, who praised Liu Yuan and said it could extend his life by decades.

Liu Yuan recruited Elder Wanhua to seize Li Changqing’s spirit herbs and treasures, and the two confronted him at the Southern Region Domain Gate. Wanhua threatened Li Changqing with the pressure of an Immortal Platform Second Heaven cultivator, but Li Changqing remained unaffected.

• Liu Yuan told Wanhua that Li Changqing had paid for Domain Gate passage with a precious spirit herb and might possess even more treasures.
• Wanhua agreed to stop Li Changqing from leaving, and Liu Yuan led him to the Domain Gate altar.
• Wanhua and Liu Yuan arrived at the altar, where Liu Yuan identified Li Changqing and urged Wanhua to take his treasures.
• The other travelers realized Wanhua had come to seize Li Changqing’s possessions and fled the altar.
• Wanhua demanded Li Changqing’s treasures and unleashed his cultivation pressure, but Li Changqing remained calm and unaffected.
