Chapter Summaries

Li Qingshan met Yuan Wu and the teachers from the Hundred Domains on Wasteland Star, where he introduced himself as the dean of Dick Academy and leader of the Crimson Rainbow Starfield team. As the teachers discussed the contest rules, Li Qingshan warned the Prodigies against killing one another and challenged them to disguise any such killing as an accident only at their peril.

• Li Qingshan recognized Yuan Wu as an old friend, while Yuan Wu and the other teachers questioned why Li Qingshan had come to a Third Order World Gate.
• Li Qingshan introduced himself as the dean of Dick Academy, and Chu Hong confirmed that he was leading the Crimson Rainbow Starfield team.
• You Xinghan promised that the Purple Brilliance Starfield would support the Crimson Rainbow Starfield, while privately intending to seize its Blazing Sun Liquid.
• You Xinghan proposed that the rules apply only inside the World Gate, and Li Qingshan accepted the proposal with a smile.
• Li Qingshan told the teachers that injuries in battle were acceptable but that no Prodigy should kill someone from the same generation, even under the guise of an accident.

Li Qingshan sent Zhao Ran, Tu Wei, and Yang Xiaoyu into the World Gate to seek the Blazing Sun Liquid, while recognizing that the other Star Domains intended to claim it for themselves. As nearly a hundred Dharma Aspect Experts gathered outside, Li Qingshan judged them manageable and looked toward the Shattered Star Belt.

• Li Qingshan warned the Prodigies of the Hundred Domains not to kill one another inside the World Gate, and You Xinghan assured him that the Star Domains were united in spirit.
• Li Qingshan arranged for Yang Xiaoyu to enter with Zhao Ran and Tu Wei, promising to help her achieve Nine Revolutions Ascending to Heaven in exchange for protecting the other two and securing a second portion of Blazing Sun Liquid.
• Yuan Wu distributed Blazing Sun Bottles, and Li Qingshan noticed that their Dharma Aspect Power sealed them too tightly to open without power of the same level.
• Nearly three hundred students entered the World Gate, while Li Qingshan stayed behind with Qin Feng and Chu Hong as the teachers and Dharma Aspect Experts gathered.
• Li Qingshan asked Chu Hong how the gathered Sixth-Order Dharma Aspects compared with Yuan Wu, then declared that there was no problem and admired the Shattered Star Belt.

While the Crimson Rainbow Starfield’s students waited outside the World Gate, the other domains formed alliances and grew wary of the Chaotic Star Sea’s unexplained absence. When the returning prodigies showed anger toward Li Qingshan’s group, Chu Hong realized Zhao Ran and the others had gained an advantage inside, and wondered what Li Qingshan could rely on if he had to act.

• Yuan Wu approached Shi Daohuan and brought up the attack on the Cao Family, but Shi Daohuan openly connected it to Yuan Thirteen’s death at Li Qingshan’s hands.
• Shi Daohuan asked why Yuan Wu’s elder brothers were absent, making the gathered Dharma Aspect experts more wary of the Chaotic Star Sea.
• After a month, Qi Liao and other prodigies emerged from the World Gate and privately briefed their teachers behind Dharma Aspect barriers.
• Li Qingshan told Chu Hong that the important question was whether Zhao Ran and the other two would emerge safely from the World Gate.
• Returning students glared at the Crimson Rainbow Starfield team, and Chu Hong inferred that Zhao Ran and the others had gained the upper hand inside.

After Zhao Ran, Yang Xiaoyu, and Tu Wei escaped the World Gate with the Blazing Sun Liquid, Li Qingshan defended Yang Xiaoyu from the Hundred Domains teachers who demanded her share. Li Qingshan boarded his starship and departed the Chaotic Star Sea, while You Xinghan concealed his plan to take the liquid.

• After a day of silence, Tu Wei and Zhao Ran emerged from the World Gate, followed by Yang Xiaoyu as the Hundred Domains prodigies pursued her for the Blazing Sun Liquid.
• Li Qingshan stopped the prodigies’ attacks and confirmed that Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu had obtained the Blazing Sun Liquid.
• Fang Qinghua and Teacher Liu challenged Yang Xiaoyu’s claim to the liquid, but Li Qingshan declared her his student and refused to give her up.
• You Xinghan and the other teachers persuaded Teacher Liu to back down, each hoping to seize the Blazing Sun Liquid for themselves.
• Li Qingshan warned You Xinghan to be careful traveling through the pirate-haunted Chaotic Star Sea, then boarded his starship and departed.

Li Qingshan opened the Blazing Sun Bottles by overwhelming Yuan Wu’s sealing power with hundreds of Principles, then realized the Chaotic Star Sea offered the perfect opportunity to Establish Dao. As his starship departed, the Hundred Domains teachers prepared to pursue it, while Yuan Wu warned them that Li Qingshan could not open the bottles.

• Li Qingshan took Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu’s sealed Blazing Sun Bottles and told them to recover from their injuries.
• Li Qingshan used a Green Lotus and five hundred Principles to extinguish the golden flames sealing the bottles, startling Chu Hong.
• Li Qingshan concluded that the Chaotic Star Sea’s shattered Star Belts suited his Star River Universe Aspect and would let him Establish Dao.
• The Hundred Domains teachers arranged to follow Li Qingshan’s departing starship and considered ambushing it before Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu could use the Blazing Sun Liquid.
• Yuan Wu appeared and told the teachers that Li Qingshan could not open the bottles, then left as they set out after the starship.

Li Qingshan and Chu Hong faced a blockade by fleets posing as Space Pirates, all seeking the Blazing Sun Liquid. Li Qingshan revealed that their deception made no difference to his plan, and his Green Lotus Bloom struck the surrounding warships as the black starship continued onward.

• Yuan Wu and Yuan Shi watched a projection of Li Qingshan’s starship entering a meteor belt.
• Chu Hong piloted the starship toward the blockade as four fleets surrounded it, while Li Qingshan prepared a green Flower Bud.
• A Meteor-class Battleship appeared, and You Xinghan claimed it for Purple Radiance Star Academy before joining the fleet’s threats to take the Blazing Sun Liquid.
• Li Qingshan questioned whether the attackers were truly Space Pirates, prompting You Xinghan and the others to reveal themselves.
• Li Qingshan warned the attackers to look behind them, and Green Flower Buds bloomed inside more than a hundred warship bridges despite the Dharma Aspect Experts’ efforts.
• Green Lotus Bloom exploded across the fleet, destroying warships as Li Qingshan’s black starship passed through the wreckage and continued onward.

Li Qingshan’s Green Lotuses defeated the Hundred Domains’ warships and Sixth-Order Dharma Aspects, leaving the survivors to recognize how far his strength surpassed their expectations. As his ship departed, Yuan Wu and Yuan Shi chose not to provoke him, while Li Qingshan remained disappointed that he had not learned the limits of his strength or the Chaotic Star Sea’s plan.

• Li Qingshan’s hundred Green Lotuses destroyed the warships and injured the Dharma Aspects, who rescued the teachers and students from the wreckage.
• You Xinghan and the other teachers realized Li Qingshan had held back and that his question about their identities had revealed their disguises as Space Pirates.
• Shi Daohuan explained that Li Qingshan’s Green Lotuses had drawn a line the Sixth-Order Dharma Aspects could either withstand or fail to withstand, leaving the survivors terrified by his power.
• Yuan Wu concluded from the projection that Li Qingshan had not used his full strength and rejected Yuan Shi’s proposal to ambush him, warning that provoking him would be dangerous.
• Li Qingshan discovered Yuan Wu and Yuan Shi’s surveillance device, then entered the Hyperspace Channel aboard his black starship.
• Li Qingshan regretted that the Hundred Domains and Yuan Wu had not tested his limits or revealed the Chaotic Star Sea’s plan, then set the matter aside and resumed cultivation.

Chu Lefeng and the Hundred Domains learned that Li Qingshan had defeated a hundred Sixth-Order Dharma Aspects and secured two portions of Blazing Sun Liquid for the Crimson Rainbow Starfield. As Star Academies began seeking Li Qingshan and his students, Fu Yang deflected a request to recruit Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu, leaving the matter for Li Qingshan to decide.

• You Xinghan told Chu Lefeng that the Crimson Rainbow Starfield had taken both portions of Blazing Sun Liquid, and Shi Daohuan showed them footage of Li Qingshan destroying the pirate fleets.
• Shi Daohuan confirmed that Li Qingshan had acted, while Chu Lefeng and Shi Daohuan wondered at the strength of Li Qingshan’s Fourth-Order Inner Scene.
• Star Academies across the Hundred Domains learned that Li Qingshan had suppressed a hundred Sixth-Order Dharma Aspects and that Yang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ran could pursue Nine Revolutions Ascending to Heaven.
• Fu Yang refused another Star Academy’s attempt to recruit Li Qingshan as a vice dean and ignored repeated calls while reading Chu Hong’s report.
• Wang Duanxing asked Fu Yang to send Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu to help at Black Flame’s Planetary Fortress, and Fu Yang suggested that Wang ask Li Qingshan directly.

Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu completed Nine Revolutions Ascending to Heaven, while Li Qingshan calculated how much time his Outer Scene cultivation might require. Yang Xiaoyu chose to remain with Li Qingshan and asked to visit a Special Star Realm; the chapter ended as he received a call from Wang Duanxing and Fu Yang's call went unanswered.

• Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu drew down starlight and completed Nine Revolutions Ascending to Heaven without danger.
• Li Qingshan calculated that his available time could support only about sixty-eight years of ten-thousandfold cultivation and decided he still needed to earn experience.
• Li Qingshan encouraged Yang Xiaoyu to keep pursuing martial arts and not give up on surpassing Feng Boyong.
• Yang Xiaoyu chose not to return for now and asked Li Qingshan to let her visit the Special Star Realm in the Crimson Rainbow Starfield, and he agreed.
• Li Qingshan received a call from Wang Duanxing as Fu Yang tried to contact him from the Noon Sun Giant Star.

Li Qingshan agreed to travel to the Black Flame Starfield to destroy invading Alien Races, refusing to send Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu because they needed to continue their cultivation. After returning to Dick Star, he promoted Gao Nianren to Vice Dean and prepared to begin a longer journey across the Hundred Domains.

• Wang Duanxing apologized to Li Qingshan for the conflict in the Chaotic Star Sea and asked him to send Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu to defend the Black Flame Starfield.
• Li Qingshan refused to send his students but volunteered to go himself and take the black starship to Black Flame.
• Li Qingshan told Zhao Ran and Yang Xiaoyu that he was going to eliminate the invaders, renewing the resolve that Chu Hong, Qin Feng, and Tu Wei had witnessed years earlier.
• Gao Nianren greeted Li Qingshan at Dick Main Star and revealed that he had achieved a Breakthrough to Outer Scene.
• Li Qingshan made Gao Nianren Vice Dean and said he was leaving on another business trip, with the Black Flame Starfield only his first destination.

After appointing Gao Nianren as temporary Speaker, Li Qingshan reunited with Mou Yu and spoke with Zhou Yunze, who was pursuing a new path to find his Dao by training Niu Tianyou. As Li Qingshan prepared to leave Dick Main Star, he told Fu Yang he was heading on a business trip to the Black Flame Starfield.

• Li Qingshan called Zhou Yunze and learned he was training Niu Tianyou, a man who matched one of the phantom figures Zhou had seen.
• Li Qingshan and Mou Yu wished Zhou Yunze well as he continued searching for his Dao, then Li Qingshan departed aboard his starship.
• Fu Yang called Li Qingshan as he was about to enter the Hyperspace Channel, and Li Qingshan revealed he planned to visit the Black Flame Starfield on business.

Li Qingshan confirmed that he would travel to the Black Flame Starfield, while Fu Yang warned him about Ling Tian Sect’s powerful figures and explained the Martial Dao Seventh Rank, the Divine Aspect Realm. The chapter ended with Fu Yang urging Li Qingshan to return quickly after his trip, though Li Qingshan knew his plans extended beyond the Black Flame Starfield.

• Fu Yang learned that Wang Duanxing had persuaded Li Qingshan to travel and angrily accused him of trying to take the entire house.

• Fu Yang warned Li Qingshan that Divine Aspect experts could threaten his True Spirit and urged him to return promptly after his trip.

Li Qingshan accepted Cao Ya’s faster starship and continued toward the Black Flame Starfield after hearing warnings about the Chaotic Star Sea’s leaders. Meanwhile, Panlong Auction House Supervisor Yu Feng learned of Li Qingshan’s influence and adjusted the auction house’s plans to win his favor.

• Cao Ya caught up with Li Qingshan, thanked him for helping the Cao Family, and gave him a Qiming VII starship for his journey.

• Yu Feng complained that Bao Hetong was obstructing him over Evil God Cultists hidden among Alien Race auction lots.
• Yu Feng’s subordinate explained that Li Qingshan’s strength had stalled Panlong Auction House’s efforts to make resource contracts with Star Domains in the Chaotic Star Sea.
• After reviewing Li Qingshan’s files, Yu Feng ordered Panlong Auction House to ease its contract terms and help clear Fortress Alien Races, hoping Li Qingshan would feel indebted to them.

Li Qingshan arrived at Chaoyan Fortress and learned that an Evil Horned Tribe alliance with the Blood Rot Tribe had brought a powerful Demon Child into the Black Flame Starfield. As Wang Duanxing prepared to let Li Qingshan confront the threat, he mentioned seeking help from Panlong Auction House, prompting Li Qingshan to worry they would take his monsters.

• Li Qingshan reached Chaoyan Fortress after crossing two star domains in just over a month and contacted Wang Duanxing for Permission.
• Wang Duanxing met Li Qingshan and explained that the Evil Horned Tribe had allied with the Blood Rot Tribe and opened three Fifth Order rifts in the past month.
• Wang Duanxing revealed that a Blood Rot Tribe Demon Child, blessed by the Flesh Demon God, had lured human fighters into a rift and inflicted devastating losses.
• Wang Duanxing said the Demon Child’s strength rivaled that of a human Sixth Order prodigy, and Li Qingshan agreed to handle the threat.
• Wang Duanxing mentioned that he had considered signing a resource zone contract and asking Panlong Auction House for reinforcements, and Li Qingshan reacted with alarm at the thought of them taking his monsters.

Li Qingshan hurried to clear a Fifth-Order Astral Rift after learning Panlong Auction House was close to signing contracts with nearby Star Domains. He killed Xue Ming inside the rift, leaving Xie Sen's plans for the Crimson Rainbow Starfield in disarray.

• Li Qingshan urged Wang Duanxing to contact nearby Star Domains and set off at once to clear their rifts before Panlong Auction House arrived.
• On Evil Horn Planet, Xue Ming mocked Xie Sen and ordered the Blood Rot Clan to capture a human prodigy from the Crimson Rainbow Starfield.
• Xue Ming and Xie Sen discovered that the Blood Rot Clan's Fifth-Order warriors had all been killed, and Xue Ming rushed into the Void Crack.
• Xie Sen ordered the altar's construction to continue, but Xue Ming's Jade Tablet vanished from the Blood Tree.
• Inside the Astral Rift, Li Qingshan stood over Xue Ming's ashes and dismissed the Demon Child after earning 200,000 years of Martial Arts Space experience.

After Li Qingshan killed the Demon Child and cleared the high-order rifts at Chaoyan Fortress, the Evil Horn Tribe decided to delay its plans and hide the truth. Li Qingshan continued hunting through the rifts, but alien forces soon began staying away.

• Xie Sen learned that Xue Ming had died and decided the Evil Horn Tribe would halt its altar plans and let other races bear the losses.
• Li Qingshan emerged from a rift and confirmed that the Demon Child and the Blood Rot Clan inside had been wiped out.
• Li Qingshan swept every Fourth- and Fifth-Order rift at Chaoyan Fortress in one hour, gaining more than 1.5 million experience.
• Li Qingshan waited for new high-order rifts and cleared them as they opened, while their frequency steadily declined.
• After five consecutive rifts contained no Strange Beasts, Wang Duanxing suggested Li Qingshan’s vicious killing had driven the enemies into hiding.

Li Qingshan left Black Flame Star Domain to suppress Astral Rifts across the Hundred Domains and gather experience before Panlong Auction House’s Extraterrestrial Prodigies could claim the fights. After a year of traveling from fortress to fortress, he reached Jinyun Fortress and learned the prodigies had arrived ahead of him, prompting him to vanish into the rifts.

• Wang Duanxing told Li Qingshan that the alien races were being driven to invade by the Evil God and that many star domains had contracted with Panlong Auction House.
• Li Qingshan departed Black Flame Star Domain aboard the Silver Starship and planned a route through the Hundred Domains, hoping to reach each fortress before the Extraterrestrial Prodigies.
• Across 8928, Li Qingshan suppressed one Planetary Fortress after another for three days at a time, gaining increasing amounts of experience while cultivating during hyperspace travel.
• Li Qingshan arrived at Jinyun Fortress in the Chen Yan Star Domain and noticed that it held more Astral Rifts than the previous fortresses.
• Yan Lixin told Li Qingshan that Panlong Auction House’s Extraterrestrial Prodigies had arrived a day earlier and were already inside the rifts, so Li Qingshan immediately vanished.

Sang Yu and Kuang Li guarded the Ten-Thousand-Meter Rift while their teammates hunted the fleeing Bloodwing Tribe, and discussed Li Qingshan’s strength and their own ambitions. Li Qingshan suddenly wiped out the remaining enemies and disappeared into the nebula, leaving the five Panlong Auction House prodigies staring after him.

• Sang Yu and Kuang Li sealed the Ten-Thousand-Meter Rift with a forest illusion, turning the Bloodwing Tribe’s escape route into a deadly trap.
• Kuang Li and Sang Yu discussed how long the pursuit would take and hoped to find an Opportunity to Establish Dao after the mission.
• Kuang Li teased Sang Yu about their ages and argued that they could become seniors to Li Qingshan by advancing to the Sixth Order first.
• Li Qingshan rapidly eliminated the remaining Bloodwing Tribe members, and a cyan flower bud vanished where the last streak of blood light had been.
• Sang Yu, Kuang Li, and their three teammates recognized Li Qingshan as the tall figure disappearing into the nebula.

After Li Qingshan cleared the remaining rifts at Jinyun Fortress, the Extraterrestrial Prodigy Squad chose to leave rather than compete with him for monsters. Panlong Auction House Supervisor Yu Feng dismissed Li’s efforts as empty fame and ordered his plans to continue, while revealing that Bao Hetong was secretly investigating a delivered gift.

• The Extraterrestrial Prodigy Squad emerged from a rift shaken by Li Qingshan’s strength, and Sang Yu reminded them that prodigies could not be compared with Li.
• Yan Lixin told the squad that Li had cleared the remaining Fourth Order and Fifth Order rifts, and the five members introduced themselves to him.
• Kuang Li refused to let Li call him senior, then decided the squad would leave Jinyun Fortress and continue to the next fortress.
• Li planned to stay at Jinyun Fortress for three more days, pleased that he could keep clearing rifts and grinding monsters.
• Yu Feng rejected a suggestion to pause the Prodigy Squad or send You Xuan to it, insisting Panlong Auction House would follow its contract despite Li’s plans.
• Yu Feng learned Bao Hetong had disappeared while investigating and said the delivered gift would ensure someone helped Panlong Auction House.

After leaving Jinyun Fortress, Li Qingshan continued traveling from fortress to fortress to support the Star Domains and gather experience, though his gains steadily declined. Meanwhile, the Prodigy Squad suspected that You Xuan was extending the mission to catch up with Li Qingshan, and their ship arrived at Hui Xing Fortress.

• Li Qingshan told Fu Yang he would return to Dick Star once the alien races had settled down, then calculated that his eighteen million years of available time allowed only 180 hours of ten-thousandfold starlight infusion.
• Li Qingshan continued his route, guarding successive Planetary Fortresses for three days at a time as his experience gains fell from 570,000 to lower amounts.
• The Prodigy Squad discussed their prolonged mission, and Kuang Li claimed You Xuan was pursuing Li Qingshan because he was unconvinced by Li Qingshan's achievements.
• Kuang Li said the squad had repeatedly arrived at fortresses shortly after Li Qingshan left and expected their next stop in the Purple Brilliance Starfield to end You Xuan's pursuit.
• The Silver Starship emerged from the Hyperspace Channel, and the broadcast announced that Hui Xing Fortress had arrived.
