Chapter Summaries

Yun Chang secured five drops of Scarlet Spring Water with help from Qin Hao and the others, while the Yan Family lamented its losses. Yan Xing recognized Qin Hao as the man who had killed Yan Zijun, leaving Qin Hao unaware that the Yan Family had identified him.

• Yun Chang thanked Ouyang Feng and the others for helping him keep five drops of Scarlet Spring Water, then descended with Qin Hao and the group.
• The eternal true gods gathered at the lake’s edge, expecting more Scarlet Spring Water to emerge while avoiding the dangerous waters and the space above them.
• Yan Xing gathered the Yan Family’s six drops of Scarlet Spring Water and blamed Yun Chang for the family’s losses.
• Yan Xing recognized Qin Hao and told the other Yan Family disciples that he was Yan Zijun’s enemy.
• Yan Xing recalled that Yan Zijun’s father had spread word that Qin Hao killed his son, but other Yan Family disciples had previously refused to seek revenge.

Yan Xing recognized Qin Hao as the man who had killed Yan Zijun and told Yan Linhan, who agreed to help Yan Zihong by targeting him. As Yan Linhan prepared the Yan Family disciples to act, Qin Hao cultivated with Scarlet Spring Water while Yun Chang waited to see whether he would break through.

• Yan Xing recognized Qin Hao from the portrait and realized Yun Chang had been present when Qin Hao killed Yan Zijun.
• Yan Xing decided to tell Yan Linhan, hoping to earn favor with Yan Zihong by helping kill Qin Hao.
• Yan Linhan agreed to take care of Qin Hao for Yan Zihong and encouraged Yan Xing to kill him, while Yan Xing also vowed to deal with Yun Chang.
• Yan Linhan gave Formation Flags to the Yan Family core disciples and began teaching them a Simplified Formation.
• Qin Hao swallowed a drop of Scarlet Spring Water to cultivate as Yun Chang watched, hoping he would reach the eternal True God perfection realm.

Qin Hao found that Scarlet Spring Water could no longer help his cultivation, while Yun Chang used the scarce drops to pursue a breakthrough and repeatedly fought for more. After the Scarlet Spring Water stopped gushing, the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake grew increasingly turbulent, signaling that Golden Spring Water was about to emerge.

• Qin Hao told Yun Chang to keep the Scarlet Spring Water because he needed Golden Spring Water to advance, and Yun Chang began cultivating with his four drops.
• Ouyang Feng warned Qin Hao to prepare for the fight over Golden Spring Water and explained that they should support whoever had the best chance to obtain it.

• Yun Chang gathered ten drops of Scarlet Spring Water and entered seclusion to pursue eternal true god great accomplishment.
• The Heaven and Earth Divine Lake boiled more violently after the Scarlet Spring Water stopped appearing, and Qin Hao and the others waited as Golden Spring Water neared its emergence.

As the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake boiled, Qin Hao and the other experts prepared to fight for the emerging Golden Spring Water. The Yan Family readied a formation and teleportation plan, leaving them confident they could claim most of the spring water once it appeared.

• Qin Hao decided he needed Golden Spring Water because Scarlet Spring Water no longer meaningfully improved his cultivation, while Ouyang Feng coordinated an alliance to support whoever had the best chance of obtaining it.
• Du Can gave an Illusion Formation to a Nine Heavens Tower expert, and the Immortal Thunder Continent group exchanged resources to strengthen their chances.
• Yan Xing and the other Yan Family Core Disciples studied the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, which could theoretically withstand one ancestral god's attack.
• Yan Linhan gave the Yan Family Core Disciples Teleportation Talismans and ordered them to teleport above the lake and set up the formation as soon as the Golden Spring Water appeared.
• The Yan Family Core Disciples grew confident that their plan could help them monopolize most of the Golden Spring Water and potentially advance to the Ancestral God Realm.

Yan Linhan assigned Yan Xing to collect Golden Spring Water while the other Yan Family disciples formed a barrier. When the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake erupted, the Yan Family seized the central area and enclosed most of it with the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation.

• Yan Linhan reassured Yan Xing that he would not join the formation because he would collect Golden Spring Water from the surrounding areas.
• The Heaven and Earth Divine Lake erupted, producing five drops of Golden Spring Water as Qin Hao watched Yun Chang continue cultivating.
• Ouyang Feng and other experts raced toward the lake, while Yan Linhan and more than twenty Yan Family Core Disciples teleported into its central area.
• Yan Linhan and eighteen Yan Family disciples raised the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, enclosing at least two-thirds of the lake's core area.

Yan Linhan used the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation to seal off the core of the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake and monopolize the erupting Golden Spring Water. Qin Hao and the others could not break through from outside, while Yan Linhan’s disciples killed the two outsiders trapped inside the formation.

• Nineteen Eternal True God Pinnacle Experts activated the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, trapping cultivators outside the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake’s core.
• Qin Hao, Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, Du Can, and others attacked the formation but could not shake its defenses or stop Yan Linhan from collecting the Golden Spring Water.
• Ouyang Feng and Zhang Jiuming explained that the formation might eventually collapse if Yan Linhan could no longer sustain it against the lake’s divine spring power.
• Two Eternal True God Pinnacle Experts inside the formation tried to escape, but Yan Linhan ordered his disciples to attack them with the formation.
• The formation’s strike killed both outsiders, leaving only Yan Family Core Disciples in the lake’s core region.

Yan Linhan kept the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation closed around the Golden Spring Water while Yan Xing began collecting it, drawing furious attacks from the cultivators outside. Qin Hao sensed that the formation was weakening under their assault but remained far from breaking, and he continued attacking while watching for a chance to claim the water.

• Yan Linhan's formation killed two Eternal True God Pinnacle Experts, prompting Du Can, Tang Yifei, Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, Ge Bin, and others to condemn him and attack the barrier.
• Yan Linhan dismissed the objections and ordered Yan Xing to collect the five drops of Golden Spring Water inside the formation.
• Qin Hao struck the Elliptical Defensive Barrier with his Treasure Sword and noticed that its backlash had weakened slightly and his attack had made somewhat larger ripples.
• Ouyang Feng, Du Can, and the other cultivators launched full-strength attacks, and Qin Hao joined them with Life-and-Death Sword Qi as he judged that the formation was slowly weakening.
• Yan Xing collected the first drop of Golden Spring Water, and the cultivators outside grew frenzied at the sight.

Yan Xing collected the Golden Spring Water inside Yan Linhan’s formation while the furious crowd attacked it from outside. After spotting Qin Hao, Yan Xing decided to kill him and struck at him without turning away from the fourth drop.

• Yan Xing collected three drops of Golden Spring Water and headed for the fourth as the crowd continued attacking the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation.
• Yan Xing hoped the Heaven and Earth Divine Lake would produce more Golden Spring Water, then recalled Yun Chang had taken more than ten drops of Scarlet Spring Water.
• Yan Xing spotted Qin Hao striking the formation and remembered Yan Linhan had told him to deal with Qin Hao.
• Yan Xing decided to kill Qin Hao before Yun Chang, swung his Treasure Saber at Qin Hao, and reached for the fourth drop of Golden Spring Water.

As Yan Xing attacked Qin Hao from inside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, Qin Hao exploited a brief gap to steal the fourth drop of Golden Spring Water through his self-world. He blocked Yan Xing’s strike and emerged with the drop, drawing the attention of the cultivators outside the formation.

• The cultivators outside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation angrily attacked it, lamenting that they could not reach the Golden Spring Water Yan Xing was collecting.
• Yan Xing sent a sudden Blade Light through the formation toward Qin Hao, briefly opening a gap in its defenses.
• Qin Hao used his self-world to send his Left Hand through the gap and seize the fourth drop of Golden Spring Water before Yan Xing could take it.
• Yan Xing realized the Golden Spring Water had vanished and erupted in fury as Qin Hao blocked his Blade Light with his Treasure Sword.
• A nearby eternal true god at great accomplishment spotted the drop in Qin Hao’s hand and shouted that Qin Hao had stolen Golden Spring Water from inside the formation.

Qin Hao obtained a drop of Golden Spring Water outside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, prompting nearby experts to abandon their siege and rush to seize it. Ouyang Feng and the others hurried to protect him as the battle for the drop began.

• Qin Hao's Golden Spring Water drew a nearby eternal true god great accomplishment expert into an attack, hoping to kill him and take the drop.
• Hundreds of eternal true gods noticed Qin Hao and charged toward him, believing the drop could help them break through.
• Du Can recognized that Qin Hao had seized the fourth drop after Yan Xing attacked from inside the formation, then changed course to pursue him.
• Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, Ge Bin, and Zhuang Xiao rushed to help Qin Hao and warned the attackers that he was a disciple of the Qiankun Sect.

Du Can attacked Qin Hao to seize the Golden Spring Water, but Qin Hao shattered his powerful punch with a single sword strike. The Gray-Robed Man realized Qin Hao could kill him with ease.

• Du Can decided he could not let Qin Hao keep the Golden Spring Water and charged at him with a powerful punch.
• Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, Ge Bin, and the others rushed to stop Du Can but were too far away to intervene.
• The Gray-Robed Man stood in the punch’s path and tried to flee, but Du Can’s attack caught up with him.
• Qin Hao struck with his Treasure Sword and split Du Can’s punch apart.
• The Gray-Robed Man recognized that Qin Hao had stopped the attack and feared that Qin Hao could kill him with a casual sword strike.

Qin Hao shattered Du Can’s punch, and its fragments killed the Gray-Robed Man after he had tried to seize treasure. Du Can and the watching cultivators were shocked by Qin Hao’s strength, while Qin Hao turned his attention to the far more dangerous Du Can.

• Qin Hao’s strike shattered Du Can’s punch, and its fragments pierced the Gray-Robed Man’s shoulder and chest, killing him.
• Qin Hao ignored the Gray-Robed Man’s death and focused on Du Can, an Eternal True God Peak expert from the Nine Heavens Tower.
• Du Can was stunned that Qin Hao had blocked and shattered his punch despite being at eternal true god great accomplishment.
• The watching Eternal True Gods were shaken, while the Qiankun Continent cultivators recalled Qin Hao’s rapid rise from the sovereign realm.
• Zhang Jiuming, Ge Bin, and Ouyang Feng praised Qin Hao’s growth and understood why he had received an Invitation Letter to the Southern Frontier Tea Gathering.

Qin Hao decided to swallow the Golden Spring Water after Ouyang Feng urged him to keep it from being stolen. Before he could do so, Yan Xing attacked him with a full-strength saber strike, leaving Ouyang Feng and the others racing to intervene.

• Ouyang Feng warned Du Can for attacking Qin Hao and urged Qin Hao to swallow the Golden Spring Water.
• Qin Hao decided to swallow the drop, while Du Can and Tang Yifei realized they could no longer seize it by force.
• Yan Xing flew into a rage over losing the drop he was meant to collect and launched a full-strength saber strike at Qin Hao.
• Ouyang Feng and the others rushed to protect Qin Hao, while Du Can and Tang Yifei hesitated over whether Yan Xing's attack might give them a chance.

Qin Hao swallowed the Golden Spring Water while countering Yan Xing’s attack with a sword strike containing three intent realms. Their clash struck a gap in the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation and began widening it, leaving Qin Hao wondering what repeated attacks on the gap would do.

• Qin Hao met Yan Xing’s Blade Light with three connected sword forces while swallowing the Golden Spring Water.
• Qin Hao’s Sword Radiance collided with Yan Xing’s attack at a gap in the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation’s Defensive Barrier.
• Yan Xing mistook the second and third forces in Qin Hao’s strike for power from the formation, then realized the gap was spreading.
• Qin Hao sensed the widening gap and considered what would happen if more attacks struck it.

Qin Hao urged the gathered eternal true gods to exploit the breach in the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation and reach the Golden Spring Water. As their attacks widened the gap, Yan Linhan intervened from inside the formation, stopping the breach from growing and causing it to repair itself.

• Qin Hao told Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, and the others to attack the breach in the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation.
• Ouyang Feng, Du Can, Tang Yifei, and the other eternal true gods joined the assault, rapidly widening the breach as Yan Xing panicked.
• Qin Hao attacked the breach with Life-and-Death Sword Qi, but sensed formidable pressure coming from inside the formation.
• Yan Linhan used his power to halt the breach’s expansion and make the formation repair itself, rebounding the attackers’ strikes.
• The eternal true gods recognized Yan Linhan’s interference and roared as they attacked the formation again.

Yan Linhan restored the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation and gave Yan Xing a token that let him command part of its power. Yan Xing swallowed a drop of Golden Spring Water and left determined to settle his score with Qin Hao.

• Yan Linhan repelled the Eternal True Gods’ attacks and repaired the breach in the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation.
• Yan Xing blamed Qin Hao for the formation’s crisis and swore to kill him, while Yan Linhan said they would deal with Qin Hao later.
• Yan Linhan allowed Yan Xing to consume one of his four drops of Golden Spring Water while collecting the others.
• Yan Linhan gave Yan Xing the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Token, allowing him to command part of the formation’s power.
• Yan Xing withdrew, noticed the origin matter flowing through Qin Hao, and swallowed a drop of Golden Spring Water.

After the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation resisted the attackers, Du Can confronted Qin Hao over the Golden Spring Water, but Ouyang Feng and the others backed Qin Hao. Qin Hao challenged Du Can to wait and see, then withdrew to refine the water while the others continued attacking the formation.

• The eternal true gods resumed their assault on the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation after Yan Linhan repaired it.
• Du Can showed displeasure that Qin Hao had swallowed the Golden Spring Water, but Ouyang Feng, Zhang Jiuming, Ge Bin, and the others gathered to protect Qin Hao.
• Du Can said the dispute was over, and Qin Hao challenged him, prompting Du Can to mock him before returning to attack the formation.
• Ouyang Feng and the others urged Qin Hao to cultivate while they held the battlefield.
• Qin Hao thanked them, went to Yun Chang, sat cross-legged, and began refining the Golden Spring Water.

Qin Hao refined the Golden Spring Water and found that even one drop could greatly strengthen him, possibly bringing him to Eternal True God perfection. While the others collected and refined more Golden Spring Water, half a month passed and Yun Chang broke through to Eternal True God great accomplishment.

• Qin Hao used the Great Dao Spirit-Seizing Art to refine the Golden Spring Water, greatly improving his divine strength and eternal Dao domain while consuming only a small fraction of its energy.
• More Golden Spring Water erupted inside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation, but the Eternal True Gods outside could not break through to reach it.
• Yan Xing collected seven drops of Golden Spring Water, bringing his total to ten, and then began cultivating rather than giving them all to Yan Linhan.
• Yan Linhan and Qin Hao continued cultivating as the Eternal True Gods attacked the formation, and half a month passed.
• Yun Chang broke through to Eternal True God great accomplishment, his aura and pressure stronger than those of ordinary experts at that realm.

Yun Chang reached eternal true god great accomplishment while Qin Hao cultivated nearby with Golden Spring Water. When more Golden Spring Water erupted, Yun Chang raced to claim a nearby drop but Du Can seized it first.

• Yun Chang marveled at his improved strength and discovered Qin Hao cultivating beside him with the aura of Golden Spring Water.
• Yun Chang observed the shrinking Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation and saw eight drops of Golden Spring Water erupt, five outside the formation.
• Yun Chang rushed through Deep-Layer Space toward the nearest drop as hundreds of eternal true gods charged for the drops outside the formation.
• Du Can released a powerful pressure that stopped many competitors and snatched the drop Yun Chang was about to seize.
• Yun Chang recognized Du Can of the Nine Heavens Tower on the Immortal Thunder Continent as the thief.

Qin Hao refined a drop of Golden Spring Water and advanced to eternal True God perfection while Yun Chang failed to win any more drops and considered entering the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation. The formation began shrinking again, and Qin Hao sensed that it was becoming unstable.

• Du Can seized a third drop of Golden Spring Water and resolved to collect more so he could become a half-step Ancestral God.
• Yun Chang waited through several appearances of Golden Spring Water but lost each contest to eternal True God Peak experts.
• Yun Chang watched Yan Xing gather Golden Spring Water inside the Sun and Moon God-Trapping Formation and considered trying to enter it.
