Chapter Summaries

Zhou Feng returned to his fortified cave dwelling and used the Immortal Spirit Mirror Fish’s Immortal Spirit Qi to comprehend Taixu True Qi, breaking through into the Divine Ability Realm. His soul began transforming into divine sense, and he discovered that the Skill Panel had granted him two Passive Skill draws.

• Zhou Feng disguised his aura with Bloodline Simulation before returning to his cave dwelling, where Big Yellow was refining pills.
• Zhou Feng told Big Yellow he was entering closed-door cultivation and went to the chamber where the Immortal Spirit Mirror Fish lived.

• Zhou Feng checked the Skill Panel and found that he had accumulated two chances to draw Passive Skills.

Zhou Feng drew the Consumption Reduction and Cultivation Simulation passives, reducing his resource use and doubling his cultivation efficiency as he planned his training in the Divine Ability Realm. Outside his room, Big Yellow grew stronger through Spirit Pet Heart and secretly ate the Spirit Awakening Pills he had refined.

• Zhou Feng drew Consumption Reduction, which lowered his consumption of Blood Qi Power, Soul Power, spiritual power, and other resources by ten percent.

• Zhou Feng left for the auction, hoping to ambush Hua Jun afterward and take his purchases and flying sword.

Zhou Feng arrived at the Xia Family’s Lake Heart Water Pavilion and bought an expensive Swimming Dragon Fish Tank to house his Immortal Spirit Mirror Fish. He planned to wait for Hua Jun to leave the auction, leaving him ready to track and kill the Holy Land Disciple.

• Zhou Feng planned to wait for Hua Jun to leave the auction and use his aura to locate him.

Zhou Feng surveyed the Lake Heart Water Pavilion and judged the Xia Family’s defenses before Old Man Grudge Ghost attacked the auction with a host of vengeful ghosts. Zhou Feng concealed his aura as the crowd realized the Dragon Transformation Realm Evil Cultivator had arrived.

• Zhou Feng explored the Lake Heart Water Pavilion and used the Treasure Appraisal Eye to inspect the Xia Family’s formations.

• Zhou Feng restrained his aura and hid in a corner.

Old Man Grudge Ghost attacked the Xia Family auction, but Xia Chunqiu summoned a monstrous fish whose Dragon Transformation Realm blood qi suppressed his ghost domain. Old Man Grudge Ghost retreated, yet Zhou Feng sensed that he had been targeted, leaving his danger unresolved.

• The crowd recognized Old Man Grudge Ghost as a powerful evil cultivator who had slaughtered a city and escaped Jade Sword Holy Land's pursuit.
• Old Man Grudge Ghost's vengeful ghosts filled the sky, prompting the crowd to question why the Xia Family had not come out to defend the auction.

• A Xia Family expert warned that their Dragon Transformation Realm ancestor was on the way, and Old Man Grudge Ghost withdrew after calling the situation interesting.
• Zhou Feng felt a sudden premonition of danger and suspected that Old Man Grudge Ghost had targeted him.

Zhou Feng realized Old Man Grudge Ghost had secretly marked everyone at the auction, while the strange fish’s apparent Primordial Species bloodline raised questions about the Xia Family’s power. After the auction, Zhou Feng pursued Hua Jun, who had bought a Shadowless Stone, and appeared before him to take revenge.

• Heaven and Earth Purification removed the mark Old Man Grudge Ghost had secretly placed on Zhou Feng, and Zhou Feng deduced that the ghost had marked everyone present.

• Hua Jun left for Linxian City with the Shadowless Stone he had bought to repair and upgrade his flying sword, after invoking the Jade Sword Holy Land’s name to secure it.
• Zhou Feng followed Hua Jun and appeared in front of him in his original appearance, ready to take revenge.

Zhou Feng overwhelmed Hua Jun with Taixu True Qi and caught his flying sword, leaving Hua Jun’s protective sword qi as his only defense. As the protection began to fade, Hua Jun fled toward Linxian City while Zhou Feng watched.

• Hua Jun attacked Zhou Feng with his flying sword, but Zhou Feng’s Taixu True Qi swallowed Hua Jun’s sword qi and engulfed him.
• Hua Jun’s protective sword qi cut away half of the Taixu True Qi, but Zhou Feng caught Hua Jun’s flying sword with his bare hand.

• Hua Jun realized he could not defeat Zhou Feng and abandoned his flying sword to flee toward Linxian City.
• Zhou Feng stayed where he was and watched Hua Jun run.

• Hua Jun burned his divine soul to place a Death Soul Imprint on Zhou Feng, revealing that the Jade Sword Holy Land could use it to track him.
• Zhou Feng relied on Heaven and Earth Purification to remove the imprint by the next day, stripped Hua Jun’s belongings, disguised his aura, and planned to escape to Jade Pool Holy Land.
• The Jade Sword Holy Land reacted furiously to Hua Jun’s death, blamed the Xia Family, and spread Zhou Feng’s name across Linxian City.

The Jade Sword Holy Land and Linxian City gathered their forces to hunt Zhou Feng, but Wei Xiang’s divinations warned that their current group would be nearly wiped out. He chose to summon reinforcements, leaving the pursuit of Zhou Feng unresolved.

• The Jade Sword Holy Land investigated Zhou Feng and used a compass to locate his temporary cave dwelling through his Death Soul Imprint.

• Wei Xiang asked whether any members of the Lu Family had survived, and Ming Lihua confirmed that the family had been exterminated.
• After repeatedly divining great misfortune, Wei Xiang decided to call for reinforcements before pursuing Zhou Feng.

After escaping the Jade Sword Holy Land’s tracking mark, Zhou Feng left its territory with Big Yellow and examined the techniques he had taken from Hua Jun. Wei Xiang located him through Mystic Arts, leaving Zhou Feng unaware that the pursuit had resumed.

• Wei Xiang discovered that Zhou Feng’s Death Soul Imprint had vanished and that he could no longer calculate Zhou Feng’s location, so he waited for reinforcements.

• Zhou Feng sensed someone watching him, then ordered Big Yellow to hurry out of the Jade Sword Holy Land’s sphere of influence.
• Wei Xiang used a compass to find Zhou Feng, but the effort left him pale and wondering whether Zhou Feng had noticed him.

• Zhou Feng decided to confront the pursuers, confident he could escape if needed, and told Big Yellow to hide; Big Yellow ran ahead.

• Wei Xiang’s divination showed that Jiang Yi was the source of the danger, and he chose to help Zhou Feng and later use the Fake Death Technique to escape.

• Jiang Yi attacked Zhou Feng with his flying sword, but Zhou Feng’s body deflected the blows with metallic clangs.
• Jiang Yi used the great formation to restrain Zhou Feng and began slowly wearing him down.

Jiang Yi suspected Zhou Feng possessed a Dao Seed and trapped him inside a formation to seize it. Zhou Feng unleashed his fully stacked Passive Skills and fought back, but Jiang Yi used another Dao Artifact to keep him contained.

• Zhou Feng struck at Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi summoned a Dao Artifact great bell that blocked his attack and continued to confine him.
