Chapter Summaries

Li Xiaoya fused the power of his four origin clones and fought Niu Ben head-on, matching the immortal tribulation stage cultivator in both laws and physical strength. As Niu Ben began to fall behind, he called on Nineteen Niang, Fuyang, and the Five-Poison Divine Chicken to join the fight or he would retreat.

• Li Xiaoya absorbed the power of his four origin clones, raising his strength close to that of an immortal tribulation stage cultivator.
• Nineteen Niang, Fuyang, and the Five-Poison Divine Chicken slowed their approach and watched as Niu Ben engaged Li Xiaoya.
• Niu Ben struck with his Heaven-Opening Treasure, but Li Xiaoya blocked it with five-element sword rays and held the two weapons in a stalemate.
• Li Xiaoya used his Storm Gold-Light Wings to close in and punched Niu Ben's attack aside before pressing him with a barrage of fists and sword light.
• Niu Ben defended with his fists and battle axe, realized he was losing ground, and shouted for the other three to come help or he would retreat.

Li Xiaoya used the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff to overwhelm Niu Ben and knock away his Heaven-Opening Treasure, then escaped with Little White, the Azure Thunder Roc. Their flight was caught in a vast law domain, leaving Li Xiaoya calling for Little White to break through.

• Niu Ben called for the three other Immortal Tribulation Stage cultivators to join the battle, and they flew toward him and Li Xiaoya.

• Li Xiaoya knocked Niu Ben's double-bladed battle axe far away, then summoned Little White and escaped with him at great speed.
• A blue-violet law domain spread across tens of thousands of miles around Li Xiaoya and Little White, and Li Xiaoya urged the roc to break out.

Li Xiaoya fled with the Azure Thunder Roc while Nineteen Niang, Fuyang, and the Five-Poison Divine Chicken pursued them at full speed. As the chase continued, Fuyang summoned demon beasts across the True Such Continent to help capture Li Xiaoya.

• Li Xiaoya escaped Niu Ben as the Azure Thunder Roc repelled Nineteen Niang’s law-domain attack, while Niu Ben went after his flying double-bladed battle axe instead of pursuing them.

• Li Xiaoya urged Little White toward the sea and fed it elixirs to boost its speed, while wondering why the Immortal Tribulation Stage cultivators were hunting him.
• Fuyang roared to summon demon beasts, and creatures across millions of miles began converging on Li Xiaoya.

Li Xiaoya and the Azure Thunder Roc fought through waves of demon beasts while fleeing the pursuing Immortal Tribulation Stage cultivators. Fuyang summoned Old Monster Qianyuan for help, but Qianyuan refused to intervene, then set off on his own after speculating that Li Xiaoya might be an outsider.

• Li Xiaoya told the Azure Thunder Roc to ignore the demon beasts while he cleared their path with five-colored sword qi.
• Fuyang asked Nineteen Niang and the Five-Poison Divine Chicken for ideas, and they urged him to seek Old Monster Qianyuan’s help.
• Fuyang sent a talisman message to Qianyuan and warned the other pursuers not to let Li Xiaoya escape.
• Old Monster Qianyuan pretended to be away, then departed to investigate where the outsiders might be headed and discuss it with Marquis Hanbo.
• Li Xiaoya and the Azure Thunder Roc passed through Qianyuan’s territory without being attacked, while Fuyang cursed Qianyuan for refusing to help.

Li Xiaoya and the Azure Thunder Roc escaped Fuyang and the other Immortal Tribulation Stage cultivators by fleeing across the ocean, where Li Xiaoya hid beneath the sea using the Formless Water Escape Technique. The three pursuers failed their mission, and their Master ordered them to stop searching and return for a new task.

• Fuyang destroyed Old Monster Qianyuan's cave abode in anger, and Old Monster Qianyuan sensed the destruction and swore revenge.
• The Azure Thunder Roc carried Li Xiaoya away from the pursuing demon beasts for three days until they reached the ocean, though the journey left the roc badly weakened.
• Li Xiaoya sent the Azure Thunder Roc into his Secret Realm Necklace and merged with the seawater using the Formless Water Escape Technique.
• Fuyang, Nineteen Niang, and the Five-Poison Divine Chicken reached the ocean but could not find Li Xiaoya, then reported their failure to their Master.
• Their Master ordered them to stop searching and return for a new task, and Niu Ben arrived on the horizon after the others.

Li Xiaoya captured a Demon Beast and learned that the Devil Race Sacred Lord ruled the Immortal Spirit Realm, but he found no information about leaving the realm or the Laws Inheritance. He settled into a concealed cave beside a Demon Beast lair and decided to resume refining the Five-Element Balancing Pill to strengthen himself.

• Li Xiaoya froze a blue-lightning Demon Beast, extracted its memories, and traveled to a canyon inhabited by a tribe of Demon Beasts.
• Li Xiaoya established a hidden temporary cave abode beside the lair of the tribe’s strongest Demon Beast, a late Mighty One stage creature.
• Li Xiaoya used Soul-Searching and Spirit Extraction on Great Void stage Demon Beasts to gather information about the Immortal Spirit Realm.
• Li Xiaoya learned that the Devil Race Sacred Lord had ruled the realm for millions of years, commanded four Immortal Tribulation stage Great Cultivators, and controlled its three continents.
• Li Xiaoya found no leads on leaving the Immortal Spirit Realm, the Immortal Ancestor, or the Laws Inheritance, and chose to resume refining the Five-Element Balancing Pill.

Li Xiaoya successfully refined the Five-Element Balancing Pill, balanced his five-element immortal roots, and discovered that his spells and cultivation had grown more powerful. He sent out his water-element clone to gather information while remaining in hiding, as the Sacred Lord and four Immortal Tribulation Stage cultivators awaited the outsider.

• Li Xiaoya completed the Five-Element Balancing Pill and found that balanced five elements strengthened his spells and accelerated his cultivation.
• Li Xiaoya decided not to leave his cave abode and sent his water-element clone out to scout, giving it his consciousness and memories.
• Li Xiaoya asked Guagua for techniques suited to five-element balance, and Guagua produced numerous spells before avoiding questions about where they came from.
• The water-element clone traveled away in secret to gather information, while Li Xiaoya chose techniques from Guagua's collection.
• At the Immortal Spirit Palace, the Sacred Lord told four Immortal Tribulation Stage cultivators to wait for the outsider to appear after the information was sent.

After more than a decade of exploration, Li Xiaoya’s water-element clone disguised as a Purple-Horn cultivator reached the Sacred Lord Continent to investigate the Immortal Spirit Realm. The clone entered the Myriad Treasures Hall in search of information, where an attendant greeted him.

• Li Xiaoya’s clone flew through storms, crossed a coastal wall and mountain range, and reached a major city on the Sacred Lord Continent.
• While exploring, the clone learned rumors that Immortal Spirit Realm cultivators could not leave, that the laws inheritance might have belonged to the Immortal Ancestor, and that outsiders had appeared in the realm before.
• Li Xiaoya suspected the Sacred Lord was hunting him because he was an outsider, but he found no firm evidence about the Sacred Lord’s motive.
• The clone entered the city’s spirit market and went to the Myriad Treasures Hall, where the cultivators present were mostly at the Great Void Stage or above.
• An attendant addressed Li Xiaoya and asked how she could serve him.

Li Xiaoya visited the Myriad Treasures Hall to search for books about the Immortal Spirit Realm, then accepted Xu Ninghai’s invitation to discuss rumors of an Immortal Ancestor Inheritance. He entered a restricted Main Hall and found three Mighty One Stage cultivators waiting for him.

• Li Xiaoya bought more than ten million Spirit Stones’ worth of books and reference materials while the Purple-Horn Girl guided him through the shops.
• Li Xiaoya noticed cultivators intermittently following him and stopped shopping before leaving the trading area.
• Xu Ninghai approached Li Xiaoya and invited him to discuss the rumored Immortal Ancestor Inheritance, and Li Xiaoya agreed.
• Xu Ninghai led Li Xiaoya to a restricted Main Hall, where three Mighty One Stage cultivators awaited him.
• The white-bearded cultivator dismissed Xu Ninghai and began speaking to Li Xiaoya.

Li Xiaoya used the identity of Jia Ming, a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Isles Continent, to meet Xu Shaogui, Blue Demon, and the White Snake Fairy at the Myriad Treasures Hall. Xu Shaogui revealed that he had acquired a map to an Elder Ancient Ruins said to contain elixirs that could help Mighty One Stage cultivators advance to the Immortal Tribulation Stage.

• Li Xiaoya introduced himself as Jia Ming from the Ten Thousand Isles Continent and claimed to hail from Zhutian Island.
• Xu Shaogui and the others questioned Li Xiaoya’s origins, but Xu Shaogui apologized and persuaded him to stay.
• Xu Shaogui told Li Xiaoya that rumors placed the Immortal Ancestor Inheritance in the Illusory Formation Sea.
• Xu Shaogui explained that his search for information about the Illusory Formation Sea had led him to a map of Elder Ancient Ruins containing elixirs for advancing to the Immortal Tribulation Stage.

Li Xiaoya heard Xu Shaogui describe an Ancient Map to ruins in the Illusory Formation Sea, rumored to hold elixirs and treasures, but suspected danger and a possible conspiracy. After initially declining, he asked when the group planned to depart and said he might join them, leaving his decision uncertain.

• Li Xiaoya pretended to be thrilled by the possibility of an elixir that could help him advance to the Immortal Tribulation Stage.
• Xu Shaogui explained that Myriad Treasures Hall had bought an authentic Ancient Map marking hidden ruins in the Illusory Formation Sea and invited Li Xiaoya to join him, White Snake Fairy, and Blue Demon.
• Li Xiaoya suspected the rumors about the True Immortal Ancestor's Inheritance Grounds might be a conspiracy and declined, claiming he had visited the Illusory Formation Sea and warning that it was dangerous.
• Xu Shaogui asked what business had brought Li Xiaoya to the Sacred Lord Continent and offered help; Li Xiaoya sent him a Jade Slip listing rare spirit herbs, which Xu Shaogui could not provide.
• Li Xiaoya changed tack and asked Xu Shaogui when they planned to depart, saying he would accompany them if he could make it in time.

Li Xiaoya made a tentative agreement to join Xu Shaogui’s expedition to the Illusory Formation Sea and Ten Thousand Isles Continent, while continuing to search for a way out of the Immortal Spirit Realm. After reabsorbing his water-element clone’s memories, he learned that restrictions prevented even True Immortals from leaving.

• Li Xiaoya told Xu Shaogui he might join the expedition in ten years and accepted a guest-of-honor token from the Myriad Treasures Hall.
• After Li Xiaoya left, Xu Shaogui, Blue Demon, and White Snake Fairy discussed why they believed he would eventually join them.
• Li Xiaoya flew away and studied the information he had bought, planning to search the Sacred Lord Continent before traveling to the Ten Thousand Isles Continent if needed.
• Ten years later, Li Xiaoya’s water-element clone returned to his cave abode, and Li Xiaoya absorbed the clone and expelled its accumulated foreign thoughts.
• Li Xiaoya absorbed the clone’s gathered information and discovered that restrictions covered the Immortal Spirit Realm, preventing even someone with True Immortal cultivation from leaving.

After more than a decade investigating the Sacred Lord Continent, Li Xiaoya learned that an ancient restriction likely prevented anyone from leaving the Immortal Spirit Realm and that the Immortal Ancestor's Laws Inheritance might control it. Suspecting the Sacred Lord had spread rumors to lure him into a trap at the Illusory Formation Sea, Li Xiaoya decided to go there and set out with Guagua.

• Li Xiaoya found that the Sacred Lord ruled mainly through powerful factions, while the Ten Thousand Isles Continent resisted his authority and his search for Li Xiaoya had inexplicably gone quiet.
• Li Xiaoya learned that the Immortal Ancestor had sacrificed his True Immortal cultivation to seal the Immortal Spirit Realm, making escape impossible through cultivation or Divine Abilities alone.
• Li Xiaoya investigated rumors that the Immortal Ancestor had left a Laws Inheritance that could grant True Immortal power and control over the realm's restrictions, with the Illusory Formation Sea often named as its likely location.
• Li Xiaoya suspected the Sacred Lord had amplified the inheritance rumors to lure him into the Illusory Formation Sea, but decided he had to go and woke Guagua.
• Li Xiaoya retrieved the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff from the Yin-Yang Chaos Divine Cauldron, and an hour later a Purple-Horn Race cultivator emerged from turbulent seas and flew toward the continent.

Li Xiaoya sent his Water-Element Clone, disguised as Jia Ming, to join Xu Shaogui’s group and travel to the Illusory Formation Sea in search of the immortal ancestor inheritance. After the six Mighty One Stage cultivators departed by teleportation for the Ten Thousand Isles Continent, an unseen pursuer cursed that they had used a Teleportation Formation.

• Xu Shaogui welcomed Jia Ming, who was Li Xiaoya’s Water-Element Clone, and introduced him to Jade Disk and Fairy Hanling.
• Li Xiaoya said he would return to the Ten Thousand Isles Continent and join the group’s expedition to the Illusory Formation Sea, then shared that he had maps of the region.
• Li Xiaoya stayed at the Myriad Treasures Hall while Xu Shaogui organized preparations, and the six cultivators decided to set out together.
• Xu Shaogui’s party used the City Teleportation Formation to reach a city near the Ten Thousand Isles Continent and flew toward their destination.
• An unseen traveler flying over the sea cursed because the group had used a Teleportation Formation.

Li Xiaoya’s original body rushed toward the Ten Thousand Isles Continent while his clone traveled with Xu Shaogui’s group to investigate a treasure site in the Illusory Formation Sea. After crossing calm waters, the party entered the dangerous Strait Storm region and began their passage using Wind-Settling Pearls.

• Li Xiaoya realized his original body would take dozens of days to catch up with his clone and continued traveling in the disguise of a Purple-Horn Race cultivator.
• Jade Disk asked Xu Shaogui what treasure the party was seeking, and Xu Shaogui said an ancient map might lead to a site left by a branch lineage of the Immortal Ancestor Clan.
• Xu Shaogui speculated that the site might contain elixirs that could help cultivators advance to the Immortal Tribulation Stage, while Li Xiaoya grew wary of the other travelers’ reactions.
• The party crossed several days of calm sea before reaching the Strait Storm region, where they faced violent storms, ice blades, and potentially deadly vortices.
• Xu Shaogui gave the others Wind-Settling Pearls, and the six cultivators activated them before entering the storm.

Li Xiaoya’s clone traveled safely through the Strait Storm with Xu Shaogui’s guidance, while his main body crossed it alone using the Five-Element Shield Art. After breaking through a vast cluster of storm vortices, Li Xiaoya narrowly escaped an enormous blood-red maw that struck where he had been.

• Xu Shaogui guided Li Xiaoya’s clone and the other cultivators through the Strait Storm with a formation plate and Wind-Settling Pearls.
• Half a month later, Li Xiaoya’s main body entered the storm without a Wind-Settling Pearl and used the Five-Element Shield Art to absorb wind blades and propel himself forward.
• Li Xiaoya encountered a sprawling cluster of enormous storm vortices and chose to force his way through instead of going around.
• Li Xiaoya absorbed and released Wind Law power to escape the vortices, using his Storm Gold-Light Wings to pass a particularly difficult formation of three storms.
• Li Xiaoya broke through the storm cluster, then vanished just before an enormous blood-red maw snapped shut where he had been.

Li Xiaoya encountered four mid-Mighty One Black-Horned Shark Beasts and fought them in his transformed Four-Eared Giant Ape form. After revealing that he could wield the power law, he smashed their formation and injured all four, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Four Black-Horned Shark Beasts surrounded Li Xiaoya and attacked him with a coordinated law domain and tridents.
• Li Xiaoya transformed into a golden-furred Four-Eared Giant Ape after recognizing the beasts and their formation.
• The beasts formed their tridents into a pillar of black-and-red light, but Li Xiaoya punched it apart using the power law.
• Li Xiaoya seized one beast by its tail and hurled it into the other three, shattering their defenses and injuring them.

Li Xiaoya crushed four Black-Horned Shark Beasts, forced one to guide him through the Storm Strait, and reached Central Island after his clone had already continued toward the Ten Thousand Isles Continent. After restocking and setting off again, Li Xiaoya faced a dangerous sea of demon-eating fish, where his steel-armored beetles began to change.

• Li Xiaoya transformed into a golden-haired four-eared giant ape, crushed four Black-Horned Shark Beasts, and forced them to submit, keeping their demon cores.
• Xu Shaogui, Li Xiaoya's clone, and their companions reached Central Island, rested, and left for the Ten Thousand Isles Continent after browsing its market.
• Li Xiaoya's original body reached Central Island half a month later, bought rare treasures and spirit-herb seeds under several assumed identities, and departed after half a day.
• Guided by a Black-Horned Shark Beast, Li Xiaoya crossed a sea swarming with demon-eating fish and used his steel-armored beetles to get through.
• After devouring countless demon-eating fish, the steel-armored beetles seemed to undergo a change.

Li Xiaoya’s main body and Xu Shaogui’s party reached the Ten Thousand Isles Continent by separate routes, while three concealed cultivators waited to ambush travelers. As Li Xiaoya moved to catch up with his clone, he sensed a dangerous aura.

• The Steel-armored Beetle transformed after devouring countless Demon-Eating Fish, and Li Xiaoya continued taking risky shortcuts across the sea.
• Five or six months after setting out, Xu Shaogui’s party reached the Ten Thousand Isles Continent and agreed to conceal their origins from the Sacred Lord Continent.
• Li Xiaoya reassured the group that he knew the region, then warned them about hostile cultivators lying in wait along the coastline.
• Three disguised cultivators discussed ambushing lone travelers and hid again after deciding to wait for more targets.
• Three days later, Li Xiaoya’s disguised main body reached the continent, sensed the direction of his clone, and then detected a dangerous aura as he prepared to follow.

Li Xiaoya survived a series of ambushes by three Immortal-Devouring Daggers but could not locate the attackers. When he expanded his law domain, the three cultivators revealed themselves and launched a coordinated assault, leaving Li Xiaoya surrounded by their attacks.

• An unseen attacker sent an Immortal-Devouring Dagger at Li Xiaoya, but his Five-Element Shield Art slowed it and he cut it apart with the Dragon-Horned Bone Dragon Slash.
• Two more Immortal-Devouring Daggers attacked from either side, and Li Xiaoya dodged them before destroying both and teleporting several miles away with his Storm Gold-Light Wings.
• Li Xiaoya deployed multiple layers of the Five-Element Shield Art and searched for his attackers, but his divine sense found no trace of them.
• Li Xiaoya spread a golden law domain across the area, prompting Fugu, Bilian, and the black-hatted cultivator to emerge from an island and charge at him.
• Fugu sent tens of thousands of Dharma wheels at Li Xiaoya, Bilian swept a vast pink handkerchief toward him, and the black-hatted cultivator unleashed a net of silver swords.
