Chapter Summaries

The Treasure Ship Market fought off black beams and a coordinated attack by demon beasts and masked cultivators. As the Heavenly Dao Sect’s elders battled more than forty powerful attackers, the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor revealed that he intended for his fighters to die while taking the elders with them.

• The Nine-Palace Heavenly Spirit Walls joined into a vast barrier that deflected the black beams, though one wall was destroyed and replaced.
• Li Xiaoya detected demon beasts approaching underwater and directed the Repeating Spirit Cannons to fire at them.
• Demon beasts surged beneath the treasure ship, where its explosive defenses killed many; several others struck the Five-Element Formation’s restrictions.
• High Person Qianshan ordered the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to prepare, and black-robed masked cultivators burst from the sea to attack.
• Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong joined the elders in battle, finding the more than forty masked cultivators far stronger than their previous opponents.
• From a distant black ball of light, the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor told King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs that he expected his fighters to die while dragging Heavenly Dao Sect cultivators down with them.

Li Xiaoya calculated the position of the Black Demon Cannons and ordered the Repeating Spirit Cannons to destroy them. The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor then triggered a desperate assault, and the chapter ended with a black-robed masked cultivator detonating his Nascent Soul and killing two Heavenly Dao Sect elders.

• Li Xiaoya inferred that the Black Demon Cannons were on an island about two hundred and fifty li away and ordered the starboard cannons to fire at it.
• The Repeating Spirit Cannons destroyed the island and the Black Demon Cannons, leaving the Black Demon Young Master with only a few surviving cultivators.
• The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor berated the Black Demon Young Master, then ordered King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs to launch an all-out attack while he began chanting an obscure incantation.
• The black-robed masked cultivators surged with power as more demon beasts attacked, forcing the Heavenly Dao Sect cultivators onto the defensive.
• A black-robed masked cultivator appeared before two Heavenly Dao Sect elders and detonated his Nascent Soul, killing them.

High Person Qianshan used Eighth Heaven to stop the black-robed masked cultivators from self-destructing, while Buddha Xuanmen and Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning protected and evacuated the Heavenly Dao Sect elders. After the blast devastated the sea and shattered their defenses, a sudden black-and-red radiance appeared across the water.

• The black-robed masked cultivators began swelling with power to self-destruct, forcing the Heavenly Dao Sect elders to flee toward the Treasure Ship Market’s restrictions.
• High Person Qianshan unleashed Eighth Heaven, binding the masked cultivators with green runes and driving them into the sea with a gigantic green hand.
• Buddha Xuanmen boosted the elders’ speed as they escaped, while Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning raised a Seven-Colored Bagua shield to block the blast’s aftershock.
• The green hand’s eight strikes blasted a vast pit into the sea and left no trace of the masked cultivators, while the shield shattered and the elders reached safety.
• Li Xiaoya watched in shock as High Person Qianshan’s power waned, then High Person Qianshan cried out when black-and-red light suddenly illuminated the sea.

The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor trapped High Person Qianshan, Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning, and Buddha Xuanmen inside a Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation, then sent Black Demon Young Master and King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs to attack the Heavenly Dao Sect. The elders learned they could not safely break the formation from outside, just as Li Xiaoya spotted an enemy attack.

• A demonic formation rose from the sea and trapped High Person Qianshan, Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning, and Buddha Xuanmen behind a black light curtain.
• The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor ordered King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs to unleash his high-ranked demon beasts and sent him to attack alongside Black Demon Young Master.
• Black Demon Young Master told King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs that the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor possessed a cultivation method for reaching the Great Void Stage, then led the masked cultivators toward the treasure ship.
• King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs summoned enormous demon beasts from beneath the sea, and they surged toward the treasure ship and flying boats.
• Dong Gu Nü and Li Mother identified the barrier as a Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation and explained that it had to be broken from within to avoid harming the three trapped Grand Supremes.
• Li Xiaoya spotted an enemy attack and warned the elders.

Li Xiaoya led the Heavenly Dao Sect elders in defending their flying boat from a massive demon-beast attack while other Spirit Communion cultivators raced toward Giant Mountain. The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor discovered that his allies had abandoned their plan and that Old Dragon Head was stalling him, as the chapter ended with the Heavenly Dao Sect fighting humanoid ninth-rank beasts.

• Li Xiaoya sensed demon beasts approaching beneath the sea, ordered the flying boat airborne, and directed the elders as the beasts attacked.
• Li Xiaoya charged into the swarm and killed several powerful beasts, inspiring Liu Xian'er, Zhang Hong, Li Mother, Li Muzhi, Murong Qi, Huang Hua, and the elders to join the battle.
• Hehuan Young Master persuaded the gathered Spirit Communion cultivators to hurry ahead toward Giant Mountain rather than remain with the main force.
• The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor confronted an unseen ally who admitted their group had changed its mind, then demanded that Old Dragon Head explain his delay.
• Old Dragon Head pretended that demon beasts had attacked the Fire Dragon Palace, though he was leisurely drinking wine aboard an untroubled flying boat.
• The Heavenly Dao Sect fought humanoid ninth-rank demon beasts in the sky while Li Xiaoya, Liu Xian'er, and the sect's strongest fighters were absent.

Li Xiaoya, Liu Xian'er, and Zhang Hong held off Black Demon Young Master and King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs while the Heavenly Dao Sect gained the advantage below. As High Person Qianshan, Buddha Xuanmen, and Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning worked to escape their formation, a black lightning web trapped the advancing Great Illusion Continent cultivators.

• Li Xiaoya saved Elder Wang from King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs, then fought Black Demon Young Master as Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong joined the battle.
• King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs fought Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong, while Li Xiaoya kept Black Demon Young Master at bay.
• Elder Wang sent Ma Jie and more than a dozen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators down from the treasure ship, turning the battle against the demon beasts and cultivators.
• High Person Qianshan, Buddha Xuanmen, and Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning continued attacking the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation from within.
• Black pillars and lightning formed a vast web around the advancing Great Illusion Continent cultivators, and one cultivator was struck down while trying to escape.

Cultivators trapped over the sea were attacked by a lightning formation, black beams, and infiltrators who detonated themselves among the survivors. Their attempt to shelter aboard the sects’ Flying Boats failed, leaving the army routed and suffering massive casualties.

• The cultivators attacked the Black Pillars of Light, which absorbed their magic power and grew larger, while black lightning covered the sea.
• A Spirit Cannon and then dozens of black beams blasted the cultivators, killing and wounding many as they tried to scatter.
• Master Baoxiang invited the survivors aboard Folo Temple’s Flying Boat, whose golden barrier withstood the black beams.
• An infiltrator self-destructed among the cultivators, and Master Baoxiang was badly injured blocking another attacker from striking the Flying Boat.
• Infiltrators detonated aboard Bell Sword Mountain’s, Demonic Sword Sect’s, and Kunqi Sect’s Flying Boats, destroying them and routing the cultivators with casualties reaching a third of their number.

The Purple-Robed Scholar realized the black lightning barrier was a fake restriction and escaped, allowing many trapped cultivators to flee as the Folo Temple's Flying Boat sank. The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor watched the escapees and prepared to send his masked Nascent Soul Realm cultivators after them, intent on advancing his grand plan.

• The Folo Temple's Flying Boat was crippled by explosions and black beams, then crashed into the sea as its golden barrier collapsed.
• The Purple-Robed Scholar tested the black lightning barrier, passed through unharmed, and warned the cultivators that the restrictions were fake.
• Dozens of cultivators followed the Purple-Robed Scholar through the barrier and scattered, while a Black-Robed Masked Cultivator attacked him.
• The Purple-Robed Scholar deduced that the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor had used a chain of schemes to make the cultivators fear the fake formation.
• The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor watched from hundreds of li away and planned to send his remaining black-robed, masked Nascent Soul Realm cultivators after the escapees.

The battle spread across the sea as the cultivators fought the Black-Robed Masked Cultivators and demon beasts. Li Xiaoya gained the upper hand against the Black Demon Young Master, but the young master ensnared him in a regenerating black net and prepared to attack again.

• The cultivators charged the Black-Robed Masked Cultivators as their spirit cannons fell silent.
• Ma Jie and the other Heavenly Dao Sect elders killed nearly all the masked cultivators, while the other cultivators slaughtered nearly half the demon beasts.
• King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs gained the upper hand against Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong, though their defensive treasures helped them withstand his attacks.
• Li Xiaoya forced the Black Demon Young Master onto the defensive and wounded his shoulder with the Fire Dragon Sword.
• The Black Demon Young Master launched a black sphere that became a net, and Li Xiaoya's Golden Light Fist rebounded off it.
• The black net enveloped Li Xiaoya, who blasted it apart with golden light, but its fragments reformed into a spherical net and descended on him again.

Li Xiaoya escaped the Black Demon Young Master’s Demon Maggots and demonic assault by unleashing a powerful five-colored spiritual flame. He left the Black Demon Young Master gravely wounded and prepared to finish him.

• Li Xiaoya’s attacks made the Demon Maggots rebound and ensnare him, allowing the Black Demon Young Master to unleash Ten Thousand Demons Devouring the Heart.
• Zhang Hong and Liu Xian'er tried to reach Li Xiaoya, but King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs intercepted them and taunted them.
• Li Xiaoya discovered the demonic qi could not harm him and recalled that his immunity had appeared after the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma infused his body.
• Enraged by King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs insulting his wives, Li Xiaoya unleashed his Five Elements Cultivation Methods and burned the Demon Maggots to ashes with five-colored flame.
• Li Xiaoya rushed the Black Demon Young Master and punched a fist-sized hole through his abdomen, then declared that he was dead.

Li Xiaoya pursued Black Demon Young Master and unleashed the Water-Fire Dragon-Devouring Wave after Black Demon Young Master transformed into a powerful demon-like creature. The attack overwhelmed Black Demon Young Master, while a soft sound from the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation hinted that the captives might be breaking free.

• Li Xiaoya chased Black Demon Young Master as the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation shook and Black Demon Young Master considered killing him before he grew stronger.
• Li Xiaoya abandoned his draining five-colored flames and Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff, then attacked with the Fire Dragon Sword.
• When Black Demon Young Master turned insubstantial to evade the sword rays, Li Xiaoya began preparing the Water-Fire Dragon-Devouring Wave.
• Black Demon Young Master demonized and attacked Li Xiaoya, while King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs blasted Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong away and fled.
• Li Xiaoya released the Water-Fire Dragon-Devouring Wave, which pierced Black Demon Young Master's attack and trapped him in a vortex of alternating ice and fire.
• As Black Demon Young Master screamed inside the vortex, a soft sound came from the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation.

Li Xiaoya defeated and killed the Black Demon Young Master as the Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation collapsed and freed High Person Qianshan, Buddha Xuanmen, and the Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning. After the survivors regrouped and headed toward Treasure Mountain, the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor raged beneath the sea over the Black Demon Young Master's refusal to retreat.

• Li Xiaoya's Water-Fire Dragon-Devouring Wave exhausted the Black Demon Young Master's magic power and obliterated him.
• The Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation burst apart, freeing High Person Qianshan, Buddha Xuanmen, and the Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning, who pursued and slaughtered the fleeing demon beasts.
• Li Xiaoya reunited with Liu Xian'er and Zhang Hong, healed Zhang Hong's wound, and flew with them to join the Heavenly Dao Sect.

• The Purple-Robed Scholar, Han Bing, and Mu Longqi rallied rogue cultivators and members of small sects into a force heading for Treasure Mountain.
• The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor learned that the Black Demon Young Master had died and furiously blamed him for ignoring the order to retreat.

The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor abandoned his current plan to investigate the strange Super-Giant Mountain, while the Heavenly Dao Sect regrouped after the battle and prepared to break through the mountain’s defenses. The elders then realized that other powerful cultivators who should have arrived were still missing.

• The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor accepted that his plan had only partly succeeded and rose into the sky to investigate the Super-Giant Mountain before proceeding further.
• Old Dragon Head learned that the Heavenly Dao Sect had repelled the demon beasts and that other cultivators were advancing toward Treasure Mountain, then ordered the Fire Dragon Palace’s flying boat to follow him.
• Li Xiaoya reunited with Li Mother and Li Muzhi, and High Person Qianshan and the other Spirit Communion Stage cultivators returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect’s treasure ship.
• Li Xiaoya recounted the battle, and Elder Wang reported that six Heavenly Dao Sect elders had died and four others could no longer fight.
• High Person Qianshan ordered Li Xiaoya to focus the Linked Super Spirit Cannons on the Five-Element Formation’s defenses, while Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning and Buddha Xuanmen wondered why Great Gong Diamond and the other cultivators had not arrived.

Li Xiaoya directed the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Treasure Ship Market to unleash its Linked Super Spirit Cannons against the Five-Element Formation protecting the Super-Giant Mountain. Elsewhere, Lord Wind Spirit organized the Spirit Communion Stage cultivators to break through the same barrier, and the chapter ended with Li Xiaoya’s attack blasting a wide hole through it.

• High Person Qianshan realized the missing Spirit Communion Stage cultivators had likely entered the Super-Giant Mountain from another side, while Li Xiaoya ordered the cannons reloaded and the Treasure Ship Market repositioned.
• Lord Wind Spirit proposed a formation to concentrate the Spirit Communion Stage cultivators’ power, requiring them to follow his commands and hold nothing back.
• The Hehuan Twin Demons had led the Spirit Communion Stage cultivators away from Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor’s scheme and persuaded most of them to bypass the Heavenly Dao Sect and seek the mountain’s treasures first.
• Li Xiaoya marked a target on the Five-Element Formation restrictions and ordered the Linked Super Spirit Cannons to fire together.
• The cannon barrage shattered the restrictions at the marked spot, blasting a hole dozens of zhang wide.

The Heavenly Dao Sect broke through the Five-Element Formation and entered the Super-Giant Mountain, while the Fire Dragon Palace took advantage of the opening to enter as well. The opening began repairing itself as more cultivators arrived outside.

• The Linked Super Spirit Cannons shattered the formation’s defenses, but their beams dissolved when they struck the Super-Giant Mountain.
• High Person Qianshan, Li Xiaoya, and the Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning passed through the opening and flew toward the Main Peak.
• Buddha Xuanmen ordered the Treasure Ship’s protective restrictions removed so the ship could fit through the opening.
• Old Dragon Head arrived with the Fire Dragon Palace, and Buddha Xuanmen allowed him to enter under the Heavenly Tribulation Pact.
• The Treasure Ship passed through and restored its restrictions, while Old Dragon Head and Sun Haotian led the Fire Dragon Palace toward separate peaks.
• The opening began shrinking as other cultivators arrived at the Five-Element Formation.

High Person Qianshan, Li Xiaoya, and Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning reached the Welcome Platform beneath the Giant Mountain, where a mist-covered bridge led deeper inside. Old Dragon Head caught up and persuaded them to explore the Treasure Mountain together, and the four continued across the bridge as other cultivators approached.

• High Person Qianshan, Li Xiaoya, and Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning descended through a flight-restriction mist and discovered the Welcome Platform and its bridge.
• The Welcome Platform’s carved musicians came to life and played a soothing melody as the three approached.
• High Person Qianshan, Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning, and Li Xiaoya crossed onto the mist-shrouded bridge, where Old Dragon Head caught up with them.
• Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning confronted Old Dragon Head over the destruction of the Spring Returning Church, but High Person Qianshan stopped him because of their Heavenly Tribulation Pact.
• Old Dragon Head proposed that they cooperate to explore the Treasure Mountain, and High Person Qianshan agreed after Li Xiaoya urged them not to delay.

Old Dragon Head triggered the bridge’s restrictions to prevent others from crossing while he and the others tried to enter Dao Virtue Grotto-Heaven. Elsewhere, Treasure Ship Market landed on the plaza, and the Purple-Robed Scholar led his recruited cultivators toward a smaller peak.

• High Person Qianshan, Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning, Li Xiaoya, and Old Dragon Head crossed the bridge and discovered the Dao Virtue Grotto-Heaven archway.
• Old Dragon Head attacked the bridge with five enormous blades, triggering its restrictions and enveloping it in mist that blocked the route.
• Old Dragon Head admitted he had cut off the others’ retreat so they would have to work together to break the barrier, and High Person Qianshan led the group toward the archway.
• Treasure Ship Market descended under a flight-prohibition restriction and landed on the plaza near Giant Mountain.
• The Purple-Robed Scholar persuaded his recruited nascent soul cultivators to avoid the major sects and follow him toward a smaller peak.

Cultivators scattered across Treasure Mountain as the major sects searched for a way past its restrictions and toward its treasures. The Heavenly Dao Sect left its Golden Core disciples and several elders to guard the Treasure Ship while the other cultivators departed, and the bloody struggle over the mountain’s treasures began.

• The Purple-Robed Scholar led rogue cultivators toward the smaller peaks, and several medium-sized sects followed while some of the Twelve Great Sects continued toward the Main Peak.
• Sun Haotian landed the Fire Dragon Palace’s flying boat at a plaza and ordered hundreds of Golden Core cultivators to set up a formation blocking the entrance.
• At the Viewing Platform, Dongling Daojian and the Righteous Path cultivators departed, followed by Lord Wind Spirit and the other rogue cultivators; the demonic cultivators then crossed the bridge together.
• Buddha Xuanmen ordered the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Golden Core disciples and several elders to stay with the Treasure Ship, while he led the remaining cultivators away.
• Elder Wang stalled the sect representatives, allowed others to pass the Treasure Ship, and watched as cultivators gave up on the restrictions and scattered toward other peaks.

Li Xiaoya and the others remained unable to break through the restrictions at the Dao Virtue Grotto-Heaven, while the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor searched for a way to advance his plans inside the Five-Element Formation. With Second Better’s help, Li Xiaoya spotted a recessed hole in the archway’s crossbeam that seemed to be missing something.

• Old Dragon Head asked about Dong Santong’s restriction-bypassing ability, then defended Fire Dragon Palace’s past alliance with the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor as the others questioned him.
• Old Dragon Head, High Person Qianshan, and Medicine Venerable of Spring Returning failed to find a way through the archway restrictions, while Li Xiaoya studied its runes and wondered where the Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor had gone.
• The Heaven-Shaking Great Emperor slipped into the Five-Element Formation and searched for a way past its misty restrictions, hoping to provoke a battle among the human cultivators.
• King Ten-Thousand-Zhangs watched Treasure Mountain from the seabed, then went to seek help from three old fellows.
• Li Xiaoya secretly brought Second Better out to examine the archway, and Second Better directed him to a recessed hole in the crossbeam.

Li Xiaoya and his companions tried two white stones in a restriction slot, and Li Xiaoya’s stone opened the barrier to a stairway leading into the buildings beyond. As they started forward, Old Dragon Head demanded that Li Xiaoya return something to him.

• Old Dragon Head placed his white stone in the slot, but it only made the restrictions react briefly before the barrier returned to normal.
• Li Xiaoya revealed that he had an identical stone and compared its runes with Old Dragon Head’s stone.
• Old Dragon Head fitted Li Xiaoya’s stone into the slot, and the restriction barrier disappeared, revealing a long stairway lined with jade statues and buildings beyond.
• Old Dragon Head started up the stairs, then stopped and demanded that Li Xiaoya return the stone.
