Chapter Summaries

Shi Hao passed the test for the Immortal City's core inheritance and learned about the legendary Indestructible Scripture, which the guards could not find. As Shi Hao went to receive the inheritance, Meng Chuan revealed that he had the scripture and warned that cultivating it was extraordinarily difficult.

• The Heavenly Prodigies failed to lift the Origin Mother Cauldron until Shi Hao stepped forward, while Ge Gu and the others qualified without taking the test.
• The Immortal City's guards praised Shi Hao's physical strength and explained that the Indestructible Scripture had greatly strengthened the young Heavenly Horned Ant.

• Meng Chuan told the Heavenly Desolate Halberd and Wang Changsheng that he had the Indestructible Scripture, but said that even powerful cultivators might never perfect it.

Shi Hao followed the young Heavenly Horned Ant into his father’s burial ground, hoping to find the Indestructible Scripture, and learned how the Heavenly Horned Ant had sacrificed himself to save his son. When the young Heavenly Horned Ant activated his innate berserk ability, the burial ground stirred and a powerful middle-aged man appeared.

• Shi Hao and the young Heavenly Horned Ant searched the Legacy grounds for the Indestructible Scripture but found no clues.

Meng Chuan and Shi Hao met the Heavenly Horned Ant, who learned how far the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had fallen and thanked Meng Chuan for his help.

• Shi Hao chose to seek the scripture himself, and the Heavenly Horned Ant directed him to the North Sea Stone Forest in Immeasurable Heaven.

• The Heavenly Horned Ant praised Shi Hao and agreed to leave Immortal City to visit the True Dragon's Imprint, while asking Meng Chuan to take the city with them.

Meng Chuan offered to help the Heavenly Horned Ant reincarnate, using the surviving Origin Mother Cauldron as a foundation. After sending the cauldron and the Heavenly Horned Ant to seek the Saint King’s help, Meng Chuan began planning other tasks that could strengthen the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

• Meng Chuan explained that he could try to reincarnate the Heavenly Horned Ant and clarified that he was not the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King.
• The Heavenly Horned Ant agreed to consider reincarnation, and the Origin Mother Cauldron confirmed that it had survived and was willing to help its master return.
• Meng Chuan explained that the Origin Mother Cauldron preserved the Heavenly Horned Ant’s Great Dao and could provide a strong foundation for his rebirth.
• Meng Chuan told the Origin Mother Cauldron to seek the Saint King’s help in restoring its damage, and the Heavenly Desolate Halberd offered to lead the way.
• Meng Chuan sent his newly formed Chaos Heavenly Horned Ant Spirit Body to another Ancient Realm, then considered other matters that could benefit the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Meng Chuan surveyed the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and considered how Shi Hao’s influence had helped the region produce so many powerful cultivators. He found that the Enchanted Cottage had already transformed cultivation there by making knowledge and legacies accessible to ordinary people.

• Meng Chuan reflected that Shi Hao’s fortune and influence had helped the Three Thousand Dao Provinces produce exceptional cultivators, while Ye Fan had similarly strengthened his own era.

• Meng Chuan concluded that the Enchanted Cottage was beloved by the people.

Meng Chuan warned Qin Changsheng that the Dharma-Ending Age would threaten the lives of cultivators who had not ascended, then returned to the Eight Domains. He found the Stone Kingdom leading the Eight Domains and headed for the Western Mausoleum Realm.

• Meng Chuan visited Shi Yunfeng and other old acquaintances in Sin Province, then saw Qin Changsheng at the Immortal Mountain, where the Longevity Bone had helped him reach the peak of Dunyi.
• Meng Chuan urged Qin Changsheng to keep cultivating and revealed that the Dharma-Ending Age would shorten the lives of those who had not entered the Immortal Domain.
• Qin Changsheng learned that Supremes would live only ten thousand years during the Dharma-Ending Age, while Void Dao cultivators would survive only five or six thousand years.
• Meng Chuan suspected that the Enchanted Cottage's growth in cultivators might bring the Dharma-Ending Age early, though he believed there was still time.
• Meng Chuan descended to the Eight Domains and found the Stone Kingdom's banners across the lands, with its leadership acknowledged by the other factions.
• Meng Chuan visited the Desolate Domain, left Stone Village undisturbed, and went to the Western Mausoleum Divine Mountain and the Western Mausoleum Realm.

Meng Chuan entered the Western Mausoleum Realm and found an altar bearing three awakened relics. When they offered him power in exchange for merging with them, he asked whether they could make him a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, leaving them speechless.

• Meng Chuan crossed into the Western Mausoleum Realm and scattered the attacking Fierce Beasts with a word.
• Meng Chuan recognized the realm as a crude Spiritual World and continued past its illusory, poisonous medicines.
• Meng Chuan reached the altar and found a golden hand bone, a Crystal Skull, and a bloodied eyeball; the All Spirits Diagram was already gone.
• The three relics awakened, studied Meng Chuan, and offered him power if he merged with them.
• Meng Chuan asked whether they could make him a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and the relics fell silent.

Meng Chuan rejected the three ancient remnants’ offer to merge with them and instead startled them by inviting them to join him. After the Saint King’s appearance forced them to reconsider, Meng Chuan revealed he wanted to assess whether they could return or work with him, though he remained skeptical of their claim that only their Imprints remained.

• The Crystal Skull warned Meng Chuan about speaking recklessly of emperors and urged him to merge with the three ancient objects for power.
• Meng Chuan described the coming catastrophe and asked the three to consider joining him instead.
• Meng Chuan summoned the Saint King through a Space-Time Passage and invited him to tea, frightening the three with the aura of an Immortal King.
• The Crystal Skull quickly agreed to reconsider after the Saint King’s presence became clear, and Meng Chuan put away the Fortune Teapot.
• Meng Chuan said he wanted to learn whether the three could return and whether they could work together, while the Crystal Skull claimed only their Imprints remained.
• The Crystal Skull explained that the three had died in a Minor Reckoning, but Meng Chuan privately doubted their account.

Meng Chuan persuaded the Crystal Skull and two other ancient Immortal King-level beings to work with him and brought them to Immeasurable Heaven. He sent them to the Saint King for help, while the Heavenly Desolate Halberd reflected on how few of their Immortal Kings could actually fight.

• Meng Chuan offered to help the Crystal Skull and the other two recover, and they agreed to work with him despite their distrust.
• The three chose to leave their Spirit World where it was and accompanied Meng Chuan to Immeasurable Heaven.
• Meng Chuan introduced them to the Heavenly Desolate Halberd and said they had lived in the Desolate Domain since before the Divine Ancient Era.
• Meng Chuan explained that the three could not be reincarnated and planned to send them to the Primordial Imperial City for the Saint King's help.
• The Saint King arrived and took the three away, and the Heavenly Desolate Halberd lamented that few Immortal Kings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were fit to fight.

Meng Chuan discovered a Pill Formula for a Resurrection Pill and discussed its rare ingredients with Qingjing. He planned to search the Boundary Sea for Three-Life Medicine and wait for an Immortal King to arrive, while Qingjing offered help with the materials she had.

• Meng Chuan showed Qingjing a Pill Formula that required Longevity Immortal Medicines, ancient Resurrection Grass, an Immortal King Primordial Spirit, and Three-Life Medicine.
• Qingjing explained how exceptionally rare the ingredients were and offered one Longevity Immortal Medicine, though her Resurrection Grass had been used up.
• Meng Chuan said he would search the Boundary Sea for Three-Life Medicine and suggested an Immortal King might come to him as a fated visitor.
• Qingjing agreed to provide some essence from her Longevity Immortal Medicine and to keep watch for Resurrection Grass.

The Foreign Realm launched a major assault on the Border Wasteland, where its prodigies initially overwhelmed those of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. When morale collapsed, a mysterious hero slew eighteen Foreign Realm prodigies, four royal-clan prodigies, and a supreme genius of an Imperial Clan, leaving the Emperor Pass inspired and eager to learn his name.

• The Foreign Realm sent reinforcements to attack the Border Wasteland after many of its high-level cultivators were killed, and defenders from across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands rushed to the Emperor Pass.

• A hero stepped forward and killed eighteen Foreign Realm prodigies, four peerless royal-clan prodigies, and a supreme genius of a Foreign Realm Imperial Clan.
• The hero's victories restored morale at the Border Wasteland and proved that descendants of Undying Kings could be defeated.
• The hero dismissed the praise and said he had merely done what he ought to do, while Meng Chuan wondered why the description sounded like him.

• Meng Tianzheng agreed to five matches, with the side winning more taking the victory.

The Foreign Realm planned to send five Imperial Clan Heavenly Prodigies into the Battle Pact, aiming to crush the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands’ younger generation. Meng Tianzheng chose Qin Hao, Shi Yi, Banished Immortal, and Heavenly Son to fight alongside Shi Hao, leaving the realm’s chances of winning three months of peace in their hands.

• The Foreign Realm’s Supremes decided to fill the four matches apart from Wufa Young Venerable’s duel with Desolate with Imperial Clan descendants and seek five victories.
• The Heavenly Prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands feared the strength of their opponents, but Meng Tianzheng insisted that their realm had contenders.

• Meng Chuan revealed that the powerless Crimson King was undergoing Nirvana and that the Gu Ancestor had secretly defected as an Undercover Agent.

• Qin Hao and Suo Gu clashed, and Meng Chuan assured Huo Ling'er that Qin Hao could win.
• Qin Hao defeated Suo Gu despite suffering serious injuries, then held up Suo Gu's head and said, "Nothing more than this."

• Shi Yi defeated Yun Hong, giving the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands its second victory, and the Foreign Realm demanded that the remaining three fights begin at once.
• Shi Hao, Banished Immortal, and Ten-Crown King entered the battlefield to face Wufa and two other Foreign Realm Imperial Clan members.
