Chapter Summaries

Li Xiaoya struggled to refine Red Lotus Immortal Wine Fruit wine, whose terrible taste concealed extraordinary healing power. After Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma drank too much and disappeared into his body, he forced himself to swallow another drop, while the Dragon Ancestor expanded the search for him.

• Li Xiaoya recalled that refining half a cup of Red Lotus Immortal Wine Fruit wine had taken him more than three years but healed his injuries and restored much of his power.
• Li Xiaoya begged Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma to make the wine tasteless, but she refused because she thought it was delicious.

• The Dragon Ancestor ordered the Four Great Elders to search the four Great Races' continents, the Boundless Sea, and the Savage Wilderness Continent for Li Xiaoya.

The Dragon Ancestor sent the Dragon Race to search the Savage Wilderness Continent for Li Xiaoya, while the Human Race prepared for his possible return and a renewed war. More than forty years later, the Golden Dragon Princess and four Mighty One Stage cultivators reached a vast black landscape near an immense white mountain, where a powerful voice ordered them to halt.

The Golden Dragon Princess and her companions reached the Heavenly Dome Emperor’s domain and asked him to help find Li Xiaoya. The Heavenly Dome Emperor agreed to send his subordinates, then asked what else they had come for.

• The Heavenly Dome Emperor sent a Snowwind Eagle to carry the Golden Dragon Princess and the Dragon Cultivators through a formation of demon beast bones to his lair.
• The Heavenly Dome Emperor appeared above the bone tree, and the Golden Dragon Princess presented him with a Storage Pearl from her ancestor, the Golden Dragon.
• The Golden Dragon Princess told the Heavenly Dome Emperor that she had come to the Savage Wilderness Continent to find Li Xiaoya.
• The Heavenly Dome Emperor recognized Li Xiaoya’s name, agreed to send his subordinates to help search, and asked the Golden Dragon Princess to explain her other reason for coming.

The Heavenly Dome Emperor told the Golden Dragon Princess that a mid-mighty one stage Azure Thunder Roc had taken the Myriad Tribulations Spirit Immortal Herb and was still somewhere in the Savage Wilderness Continent. He gave her his identity token and agreed to have his subordinates search for Li Xiaoya, while privately wondering what the Dragon Ancestor wanted from him.

• The Golden Dragon Princess explained that she wanted to explore the Savage Wilderness Continent and seek a breakthrough, and the Heavenly Dome Emperor told her about the Myriad Tribulations Spirit Immortal Herb.
• The Heavenly Dome Emperor said the herb had matured in Despair Valley centuries earlier and had been taken by an Azure Thunder Roc before he and other powerful demon beasts arrived.
• The Golden Dragon Princess learned that the Roc was only at the mid-mighty one stage and that its location remained unknown, so she hoped to find it and obtain the herb.

After spending more than forty years recovering with Red Lotus Immortal Wine Fruit wine, Li Xiaoya set out across the Savage Wilderness Continent, worried that he could not contact Liu Xian'er. He encountered the One-Horned Wood Beast that had nearly killed him before, ambushed it, and left it begging to speak.

• Li Xiaoya recovered his bodily injuries and strengthened his physique, magic power, and divine sense, though his nascent soul reached only sixty percent recovery.
• Li Xiaoya failed to wake the Five-Element Rainbow Ganoderma or contact Liu Xian'er, so he set out to find his own way back.
• Li Xiaoya recognized the terrain where he had first met the One-Horned Wood Beast and followed its roar instead of avoiding it.
• Li Xiaoya approached the One-Horned Wood Beast under his Invisibility Cloak and struck it with a Golden Light Fist.
• The One-Horned Wood Beast's wooden arm failed to stop Li Xiaoya's punch, and Li Xiaoya chased it down after blasting it into a mountain.
• The One-Horned Wood Beast, realizing it was outmatched, called to Li Xiaoya and begged him to listen.

Li Xiaoya stopped his attack on the One-Horned Wood Beast after learning that the Azure Thunder Roc possessed the Myriad Tribulations Spirit Immortal Herb, and realized the roc might be Little White. When the beast tried to flee, Li Xiaoya recalled its attack on him more than two hundred years earlier and struck back, leaving its fate uncertain.

Li Xiaoya learned that Little White possessed the Myriad Tribulations Spirit Immortal Herb and was being hunted, but decided not to search for him because he had no way to locate or protect him. After discovering that the Dragon Race and the Heavenly Dome Emperor were also searching for him in the Savage Wilderness Continent, Li Xiaoya traveled invisibly toward the East Xia Continent, though the chapter ended with danger still catching up to him.

• A massive golden explosion left a vast pit, while Li Xiaoya kept the One-Horned Wood Beast’s Demon Core and considered whether to help Little White.
• Li Xiaoya realized that Demon Beasts were hunting Little White for the Myriad Tribulations Spirit Immortal Herb and his Azure Thunder Roc bloodline, but concluded that Little White was likely hidden and he could not find or defend him.

• Li Xiaoya traveled invisibly through the Myriad Forest Sea without attacking Demon Beasts, but despite his caution, danger still found him.

After decades crossing the Savage Wilderness Continent, Li Xiaoya heard what sounded like Little White fighting several powerful demon beasts and hurried to help. He found Little White, a huge azure-and-white Great Roc, battling three opponents as more demon beasts approached.

• Li Xiaoya recognized the Roc as Little White and struck the intercepting beasts with the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff, sending them flying.
• Li Xiaoya channeled fire-law power into the staff and launched a fiery attack toward the demon beasts.

• Li Xiaoya struck several Mighty One Stage demon beasts with the Shaking-Heaven Divine Fire Staff, then flew to the Azure Thunder Roc and urged it to escape with him.
• The Wind-Snow Eagle and two other demon beasts pursued Li Xiaoya and the roc through the flames, where Li Xiaoya's wood, metal, and fire clones ambushed them.

• The three clones returned to Li Xiaoya, and the Azure Thunder Roc celebrated the deaths of its pursuers.
• Li Xiaoya offered the injured Azure Thunder Roc several elixirs, but the roc held them without swallowing and asked guardedly why he was there.

• Li Xiaoya and the Azure Thunder Roc battled through hundreds of thousands of kilometers of beasts and broke out of the encirclement.

• The Azure Thunder Roc thanked Li Xiaoya for saving him and brought out a five-colored spirit herb with several shining fruits, drawing Li Xiaoya’s delighted attention.

Li Xiaoya received the Five-Element True Spirit Fruit from the Azure Thunder Roc, whose power could balance Li Xiaoya’s innate five-element immortal roots and let him use the Five-Element Dragon-Devouring Wave.

The Heavenly Dome Emperor learned that Li Xiaoya had rescued the Azure Thunder Roc and set out toward Black Blood Mountain, while the Golden Dragon Princess received the same news and redirected her party to pursue them. The dragons decided to confirm Li Xiaoya’s identity before informing the Dragon Ancestor, hoping to capture him and seize his treasures first.

• The Wind-Snow Eagle told the Heavenly Dome Emperor that a human cultivator had rescued the Azure Thunder Roc and killed his younger brother, and the Emperor suspected the cultivator was Li Xiaoya.

• The Golden Dragon Princess and her companions advanced with countless demon beasts in an encirclement aimed at Li Xiaoya.

The Golden Dragon Princess and her companions reached the demon-beast gathering under the Heavenly Dome Emperor’s protection, while powerful auras from across the Savage Wilderness Continent converged on Black Blood Mountain. The Azure Thunder Roc used its apparent injuries to lure an Earth Silkworm Demon into an ambush and killed it, then decided it could not go to Black Blood Mountain.

• The Golden Dragon Princess ordered the Wind-Snow Eagle to stop, then led the Dragon Cultivators onward after it refused.
• The Golden Dragon Princess reasoned that Li Xiaoya could not escape through either forbidden ground and asked which direction he might choose if he tried to flee the Heavenly Dome Emperor.

The battle began, and the Azure Thunder Roc appeared through a vortex of azure light, leaving the Golden Dragon Princess puzzled by Li Xiaoya’s absent aura.

• The Azure Thunder Roc appeared amid a vortex of azure light, and the Golden Dragon Princess sensed its powerful aura but could not detect Li Xiaoya.
