Chapter Summaries

Little Nonpoint advanced to the Transformation Spirit Realm, preparing to visit the Kunpeng Nest, while Meng Chuan and Willow God traveled to the North Sea to locate it. They found the nest’s vicinity, where a powerful aura stirred and a storm began to gather.

• Little Nonpoint asked Meng Chuan for a replacement system, but Meng Chuan refused and told him to cultivate before selecting a mission to the North Sea.
• Meng Chuan explained that opening the Ten Grotto-Heavens made Little Nonpoint a candidate to enter the Kunpeng Nest, and Little Nonpoint bargained for Beast Milk before going to cultivate.

• Meng Chuan and Willow God left Stone Village for the North Sea, leaving Little Nonpoint a token from the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit.
• Willow God located the Kunpeng Nest’s position, and she and Meng Chuan teleported to the area, where a faint aura stirred and a storm began to rise.

• Meng Chuan saw the bloody words “There's still hope” on the boat and grew heavy-hearted.

Meng Chuan and Willow God examined a Black Paper Boat from Ruthless bearing the reassuring message, “There's still hope,” and concluded that she and the others were likely enduring a difficult but manageable war. They entered the world behind the gate, where time stood still and the River of Time flowed, and Willow God recognized someone in the distance as Fellow Daoist Wuzhong.

• Meng Chuan read Ruthless’s message on the Black Paper Boat, and he and Willow God judged from its faint bloodstains that she was probably safe.
• Meng Chuan reasoned that the message meant the Sacrifice was not complete and that Ruthless and the others still had hope.

• Willow God stopped and recognized someone in the distant sky as Fellow Daoist Wuzhong.

• Wushi shook his head, leaving Meng Chuan stunned at the possibility that Ye Fan and the Azure Emperor were gone.

• Wushi told Meng Chuan that he and Ruthless were still around, but their situation was manageable only for now and continued to worsen.
• Meng Chuan asked whether the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had been exposed, fearing that the loss of its concealment would mean Shi Hao's sword light had vanished.
• Ruthless and Wushi could not give Meng Chuan a clear answer because they lacked some information and could not speak freely across the ages.
• Meng Chuan set aside his worry and said they had to grow stronger and face the darkness, then told Ruthless to stay alive because the past, present, and future could still change.
• Meng Chuan advised Wushi not to shoulder everything alone and urged him to plan ahead and consult others more often.

• Willow God asked the Heavenly Desolate Halberd what had happened to Kunpeng after she left Emperor Pass.

• Meng Chuan absorbed the rune bone’s fragmentary Imprints and returned it to the altar without damaging it or the Kunpeng Treasure Technique.

• Meng Chuan’s Kunpeng Grotto-Heaven absorbed Blank True Spirits and nurtured a Kunpeng as Chaos dissolved and a new Living Being was born.

Meng Chuan returned to Stone Village with his newly formed Kunpeng Spirit Body, a Divine Flame Realm Chaos God-Demon born from his Grotto-Heaven. The villagers learned that the legendary Kunpeng was Willow God's friend, while Meng Chuan worried that forming the remaining nine Spirit Bodies would require more Imprints.

• A divine bird arrived over Stone Village, overwhelmed the Azure-Scaled Eagle and her children with its bloodline pressure, then shrank and perched on Willow God's branch.
