Chapter Summaries

Li Xiaoya used the Dragon-Devouring Wave to catch the Fourth Elder off guard and sever one of his arms, but he was badly injured and forced to flee underwater. As the Fourth Elder pursued him with flying swords, someone pulled Li Xiaoya downward with a blue-shimmering silk, leaving him wounded and still in danger.

Li Xiaoya reached the Super Teleportation Formation while fleeing the Fourth Elder, but the Fourth Elder’s attack destroyed the cave and left a spatial void where the formation had been. The others were pulled into the void, and the chapter leaves Black Old Devil and Black Skeleton trying to determine their fate.

• Blue Ice used a rope and ice shields to help Li Xiaoya evade the Fourth Elder’s flying sword and reach the seabed formation.

Black Skeleton left for the Great Illusion Continent to find Li Xiaoya, whose supposed five immortal roots might determine the fate of the Heavenly Earth Demon Sect. Li Xiaoya and his companions had entered a collapsing teleportation tunnel, and he lost consciousness as it ruptured around them.

• Black Skeleton rejected Black Old Devil’s offer to accompany him, ordered the others to keep his departure secret, and used the Teleportation Spirit Token to travel to the Great Illusion Continent.
• Black Old Devil recalled that the sect’s search for Li Xiaoya had failed, the Super Teleportation Formation had been destroyed, and several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had gone missing.
• Lingyu worried about Li Xiaoya and his companions before deciding to cultivate on the Secret Island, while Heavenly Venerable Daoling noticed a Crystal Lamp flicker and sent out talismans.
• Li Xiaoya and his companions were teleported away just before the Fourth Elder’s fist struck, but the passage collapsed behind them after the formation was destroyed.
• Li Xiaoya clung to the blue-glowing rope connecting him to Blue Ice and the others as the teleportation tunnel twisted, then lost consciousness after a deafening explosion.

Li Xiaoya survived the teleportation passage and spent half a month recovering inside a golden energy cocoon, emerging with a stronger body but only a fraction of his magic power restored. Worried about Li Mother and the others, he set out to find them and remembered he could ask Second Better about the Teleportation Armor.

• Li Xiaoya awoke submerged in seawater, unable to move or use magic power, and relied on his body's self-repairing ability as the tide carried him onto the beach.
• After reaching the shore, Li Xiaoya retrieved pills from his Heaven-and-Earth Bag and began healing while a golden energy cocoon formed around him.
• Half a month later, Li Xiaoya burst out of the cocoon, fully healed and physically stronger, though his magic power and divine sense remained diminished.
• Li Xiaoya realized the spatial tearing forces in the teleportation passage had severely damaged him, and that his diamond grass tempering and Dragon-Devouring God-Reversal Art had enabled his body's rebirth.
• Worried about Li Mother, Li Xiaoya flew slowly above an unfamiliar beach and forest, then remembered he could ask Second Better about the Teleportation Armor.

Li Xiaoya searched an immense island for his mother and junior brother after a failed teleportation left him injured and separated from them. He found Blue Ice fighting a seventh-tier Demon Claw Beast and helped her defeat it, then asked where his family was.

• Li Xiaoya contacted Second Better through the Heaven-and-Earth Treasure, learned that the failed teleportation had scattered the group, and was reassured that the Teleportation Armor should have protected his mother and the others from the worst injuries.

• Li Xiaoya asked Blue Ice whether she was all right and where his mother and junior brother were.

Li Xiaoya reunited with Blue Ice, Li Mother, and Dong Santong after the Teleportation Space Tunnel scattered them across an unknown island, and learned how badly they had been injured. The group settled on a hill with abundant spiritual qi to recover, while Li Xiaoya faced the weight of his father’s captivity and his family’s vendetta.

• Blue Ice told Li Xiaoya that Li Mother and Dong Santong were safe but seriously injured, then explained how the tunnel’s explosion had sent them to the other side of the island.
• Blue Ice led Li Xiaoya to a cave, where he reunited with Li Mother and Dong Santong and checked on their injuries.
• Li Xiaoya proposed that everyone focus on healing before exploring the unknown island, and they remained in their cave abodes while recovering.
• After more than a month, Li Mother could walk again, Dong Santong had recovered only slightly, and Li Xiaoya had regained most of his strength.
• Li Xiaoya found a hill in the basin with abundant spiritual qi, and the group built cave abodes there to continue cultivating and healing.

After more than a year of recovery and training, Li Xiaoya agreed to spar with Blue Ice so she could test her newly refined Ren-Kui Twin Swords. Their fight escalated when Blue Ice unleashed the swords’ divine ability, leaving Li Xiaoya facing a storm of ice blades as he countered with the Fire Dragon Sword.

• Li Xiaoya used the Fire Dragon Sword against Blue Ice's Ren-Kui Twin Swords, and their battle ended with neither able to defeat the other.
• Blue Ice and Li Xiaoya agreed to spar again, and the next day they unleashed more of their divine abilities over the sea.
• Li Xiaoya called a pause because fighting over the sea put him at a disadvantage, and they rested on the island.
• Li Xiaoya asked Blue Ice which sect she belonged to, and she said she was a rogue cultivator who had never taken a master.
• Li Xiaoya asked why Blue Ice wore a white veil, and she asked whether he wanted to know.

Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice searched north for a way back to the Great Illusion Continent and discovered an enormous metal sphere beneath a tiny island. After finding the sphere was extraordinarily hard, Li Xiaoya called on Second Better to identify it.

• Blue Ice and Li Xiaoya stopped their playful fight and agreed to search nearby for a way back, using her Phoenix Bells to guide their direction.
• Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice left one Phoenix Bell with Li Mother and flew north, hoping to find the Great Illusion Continent.
• As night fell, they found a tiny black island whose surface repelled their divine sense and deflected Li Xiaoya's attacks with metallic force.
• Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice landed on the island and discovered that it was made of an unknown, exceptionally hard metal that also blocked their divine sense.
• Li Xiaoya dived beneath the island, found that it was an enormous sphere buried on the seabed, and scratched it only slightly with the Fire Dragon Sword.
• Li Xiaoya called to Second Better from his Heaven-and-Earth Bag, excitedly announcing that he had found an incredible treasure.

• Second Better examined the metal wall and suspected it was heavenly starstone, so Li Xiaoya cut a massive chunk free with the Fire Dragon Sword.
• Explosions alerted Li Xiaoya that Blue Ice was in danger, and he stored the metal chunk and Second Better before racing toward the surface.

• Li Xiaoya dodged the Sea Flood Dragon's beam and tail while Blue Ice attacked it with her Ren-Kui Twin Swords.
• The Sea Flood Dragon blocked Blue Ice's attack with an ice helmet, then froze Li Xiaoya's golden barrier and struck him into the sea with its tail.
• Blue Ice sent an enlarged icy whirlwind against the Sea Flood Dragon's inner-core attack, but the collision wounded her and flung the Ren-Kui Twin Swords away.
• The Sea Flood Dragon launched the sphere surrounding its inner core toward the airborne Blue Ice.

Li Xiaoya ambushed the Sea Flood Dragon with the Dragon-Devouring Wave, then used a hidden Soul Talisman and the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff to smash it beneath the sea with Blue Ice’s help. The Sea Flood Dragon survived, and the sea began forming a whirlpool as Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice tried unsuccessfully to destroy its inner core.

• Li Xiaoya emerged from underwater and struck the Sea Flood Dragon’s lower jaw with the Dragon-Devouring Wave, blasting it upward and dislodging its ice helmet.

• The Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff slammed the Sea Flood Dragon into the sea, but Li Xiaoya discovered it was still alive and tried to destroy its inner core.
• Li Xiaoya’s Fire Dragon Sword and Blue Ice’s Ren-Kui Twin Swords failed to break the inner core’s barrier, and the Sea Flood Dragon’s surviving power stirred the sea into a whirlpool.

Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice escaped the Sea Flood Dragon by hiding near the heavenly starstone island, then returned to their cave abode with Li Mother and Dong Santong. They knew nothing of the Sea Flood Dragon’s later battle with the Whale-Devouring Blackfish, and the chapter ended with Li Xiaoya asking Blue Ice where the Sea Flood Dragon had come from.

• Li Xiaoya knocked the Sea Flood Dragon’s inner core far away with the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff, then fled with Blue Ice toward the heavenly starstone island.

• Dong Santong asked what had happened, and Li Xiaoya asked Blue Ice where the Sea Flood Dragon had come from.

Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice explained their encounter with the Sea Flood Dragon and concluded they were stranded in the dangerous Ten-Thousand-Zhang Sea. While the group hid in Dong Santong’s cave abode, Second Better identified Li Xiaoya’s metal fragment as heavenly starstone and explained its powers, leaving Li Xiaoya delighted by the treasure he had secured.

• Blue Ice recounted how the Sea Flood Dragon attacked her while she investigated the Metal Island, and Li Xiaoya realized it guarded the island’s treasure.
• Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice recognized the Sea Flood Dragon’s Great Illusion language and concluded the group had been transported to the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Sea.
• Blue Ice advised the group to hide near Dong Santong’s cave abode rather than risk encountering more powerful demon beasts, and they stayed there for four or five days.
• Second Better confirmed that Li Xiaoya’s metal fragment was heavenly starstone and explained that it could temper bodies and strengthen magic treasures.
• Li Xiaoya learned that the fragment he had cut from the island was enough to strengthen his treasures and body for a hundred years.

Li Xiaoya and his companions discovered that the Metal Island was made of heavenly starstone and began using its powder to strengthen their bodies and magic treasures while stranded on the island. After more than three years, Second Better ran low on spirit stones while refining the Immortal-Binding Rope, and Li Xiaoya approached Blue Ice to borrow some.

• Li Xiaoya revealed that the Metal Island was made of heavenly starstone and showed the others a massive piece he had brought back.
• Li Xiaoya and his companions agreed to cultivate on the island, using heavenly starstone powder to temper their bodies and strengthen their magic treasures.
• Over three years passed as Li Xiaoya, Blue Ice, and Dong Santong cultivated, while Li Mother studied and Li Xiaoya’s Dragon-Devouring God-Reversal Art neared a breakthrough.
• Second Better told Li Xiaoya he needed several million spirit stones to finish refining the Immortal-Binding Rope, but Li Xiaoya had only a few hundred thousand left.
• Li Xiaoya went to ask Blue Ice for spirit stones, and she asked what he needed them for because there was nothing on the island to spend them on.

Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice devised a plan to obtain more heavenly starstone by having Li Mother trap the Sea Flood Dragon with a formation. Li Mother agreed to prepare a Water-Mist Gang Formation, and the group began discussing the plan’s details.

• Li Xiaoya borrowed ten million spirit stones from Blue Ice and delivered them to Second Better.
• Li Xiaoya and Blue Ice sparred for a day, ending in a draw as they discussed how heavenly starstone had strengthened their abilities and treasures.

• Li Mother agreed to refine the formation implements, and Blue Ice offered to help as the group began planning the operation.

Li Xiaoya and the others prepared to steal Heavenly Starstone, but he had to leave the island when Second Better announced that the Immortal-Binding Rope was ready to emerge. He released the True Immortal Spirit Treasure on the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Sea’s seabed and caught it as it shot toward the surface, only to be dragged upward with it.

• Dong Santong, Blue Ice, and Li Xiaoya agreed on their roles in a plan to lure away and trap the Sea Flood Dragon, cut into the Heavenly Starstone island, and then return to the Great Illusion Continent.
• Li Xiaoya learned that the Immortal-Binding Rope was about to emerge and hurried westward to avoid drawing demon beasts to the island.
• Second Better told Li Xiaoya to release the treasure on the seabed, where abundant spiritual qi could lessen the danger to the island.
• The Immortal-Binding Rope’s emergence caused a tremendous surge of spiritual qi and a five-colored celestial phenomenon that attracted the Sea Flood Dragon and a nearby pitch-black figure.
• Li Xiaoya seized the Immortal-Binding Rope as it shot upward, but its immense force began dragging him toward the surface.

Li Xiaoya tested the newly completed Immortal-Binding Rope by killing a seventh-rank Blood-Horned Shark Beast with it. As he flew back, Second Better warned that the planned trip to collect heavenly starstone and return to the Great Illusion Continent might be far more dangerous than Li Xiaoya expected.

• Li Xiaoya seized the Immortal-Binding Rope and learned from Second Better that it was a High-Grade True Immortal Spirit Treasure.
• Li Xiaoya used the unrefined rope to bind and crush a charging Blood-Horned Shark Beast, frightening the other approaching demon beasts into fleeing.
• Li Xiaoya flew toward the island and told Second Better that his group planned to return to the Sea Flood Dragon's territory to collect heavenly starstone.
• Second Better questioned how they would lure the Sea Flood Dragon into their formation and warned Li Xiaoya that returning to the Great Illusion Continent would be extremely difficult.
• Second Better advised Li Xiaoya not to think about heading back for now.

Li Xiaoya and his companions revised their plan to obtain the Heavenly Starstone and prepared a slower return route through the dangerous Ten-Thousand-Zhang Sea. They began their operation, with Blue Ice forming a hidden Water-Mist Gang Formation as Dong Santong went to lure away the Sea Flood Dragon.

• Li Xiaoya blood-bound the Immortal-Binding Rope and practiced with it while the group refined their plan and prepared for more than three months.
• Li Xiaoya, Dong Santong, and Blue Ice left Mother Li concealed near the island and flew toward the Heavenly Starstone.
• Blue Ice set up the Water-Mist Gang Formation with eighty-one formation tools and confirmed Li Xiaoya could detect no flaws.
• Li Xiaoya sent Dong Santong to lure the Sea Flood Dragon toward the formation while he detoured to strike the Heavenly Starstone.
• The Sea Flood Dragon burst from the water near Dong Santong and fired a blue beam at him.

Dong Santong lured the Sea Flood Dragon away from the island, but the powerful beast nearly killed him after he struck its eye. Blue Ice intervened and trapped the dragon in the Water Mist Formation, leaving it unable to detect them.

• The Sea Flood Dragon emerged near Dong Santong and attacked, but he evaded its blasts with teleportation and illusory doubles.
• Dong Santong’s Moonlight Crescent Saber failed to pierce the dragon’s defenses, so he kept fleeing and attacking to draw it onward.
• When the Sea Flood Dragon hesitated to follow, Dong Santong struck its eye with a saber, provoking it to leap at him and freeze him in midair.
• Dong Santong escaped the dragon’s charge but was nearly swallowed when it caught him underwater and lunged from the sea.
• Blue Ice rushed in with her Ren-Kui Twin Swords, giving Dong Santong a chance to teleport clear.
• Blue Ice activated the Water Mist Formation, surrounding the Sea Flood Dragon with mist and blocking its divine sense.
