Chapter Summaries

Chen Lin forced the Demon Tribe to reaffirm its hundred-year confinement after discovering that Kunlun had not created the false cores. He returned to Chen Family Village and ordered four Nascent Soul-level combatants to search Huaxia for the hidden Blood Sacrifice Formations.

• Chen Lin probed Di Shisan, accepted that he was not lying, and warned Kunlun’s demons to remain in Death Valley under the hundred-year agreement.
• Chen Lin left Kunlun aboard the Heavenly Shuttle as Di Shisan ordered every passage into Death Valley sealed and threatened to kill any demon that crossed the boundary.
• Chen Lin and his companions concluded that an unknown force was using Blood Sacrifice Spirit-Stirring formations to turn humanity into nourishment during the spiritual-energy revival.
• Back in Chen Family Village, Chen Lin told Song Qiuya and Qin Chuxia that the Demon Tribe had been dealt with, but the false-core creator remained unknown.
• Chen Lin gave Heavenly Hatred, Changqingzi, Yun Sheng, and Star Moon Demon Saint battle puppets and ordered them to search Huaxia for the formations and kill anyone who resisted.

Heavenly Hatred True Lord destroyed a beast tide and uncovered a sinister Blood Sacrifice Spirit-Stirring formation beneath the Hundred-Thousand Great Mountains. After his warning prompted Yun Sheng and Changqingzi to search underground, they found matching altars, and Heavenly Hatred True Lord contacted Chen Lin to report that the formation baffled him.

• Heavenly Hatred True Lord sent ten Black-Armored Battle Puppets to kill the Two-Headed Centipede and scatter the beast tide.
• Heavenly Hatred True Lord discovered a concealed altar beneath the centipede's lair and warned Yun Sheng, Changqingzi, and the others to search underground.
• Yun Sheng dug beneath a snowy peak in the Changbai Mountain Range and uncovered a matching altar surrounded by frozen human and animal remains.
• Changqingzi uprooted a hill in the Wuyi Mountain Range and found an altar with a False Core forming at its center.
• Heavenly Hatred True Lord crushed a Voice Transmission Talisman and told Chen Lin that his team had found an altar but could not understand its formation.

Chen Lin and the Star Moon Demon Saint investigated a blood altar and identified its formation as a crude adaptation of techniques from the Heavenly Abyss Realm, raising the possibility of an otherworldly invasion. Chen Lin destroyed the altar and ordered preparations to respond to the threat.

• Chen Lin arrived at the altar with the Star Moon Demon Saint after Heavenly Hatred True Lord reported that he could not decipher its runes.
• Heavenly Hatred True Lord reported that Yun Sheng and Changqingzi had found identical altars on Changbai Mountain and Mount Wuyi.
• The Star Moon Demon Saint traced the formation to methods resembling those of the Heavenly Abyss Realm's Spirit Taming Sect and explained that the False Cores drove demon beasts into short-lived, explosive rampages.
• Heavenly Hatred True Lord wondered whether someone from another world had crossed over, and Chen Lin suspected the formations were part of a plan to unleash a global beast tide.
• Chen Lin destroyed the Lightning False Core and altar with Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, then began issuing orders.

Chen Lin ordered a global purge of Blood Sacrifice Formations, then cultivated One Qi Transforms into Three Purities and created three dao bodies. He left for the Myriad Worlds Garbage Transfer Station to restock and found a strange bronze bell.

• Chen Lin sent Heavenly Hatred True Lord, Yun Sheng, Changqingzi, and Star Moon Demon Saint in four directions to destroy every Blood Sacrifice Formation and kill anyone building one.
• The four forces destroyed all thirty-two formations at spiritual vein nodes across the globe within an hour.
• Back in Chen Family Village, Chen Lin cultivated One Qi Transforms into Three Purities and formed three dao bodies, naming them Chen Yi, Chen Er, and Chen San.
• At Sunday night’s restocking time, Chen Lin entered the Myriad Worlds Garbage Transfer Station and searched its garbage dump with his expanded divine sense.
• Chen Lin found a palm-sized bronze bell that seemed ordinary but faintly resisted his divine sense.

Chen Lin refined the damaged East Emperor Bell and used a Bodhi Seed to enter a state of rapid cultivation. The next morning, his three dao bodies startled the women in the courtyard, and he explained that they came from his One Qi Transforms into Three Purities divine ability.

• Chen Lin discovered that the East Emperor Bell was a damaged Divine Transformation spirit treasure and completed its initial refinement, though he could use only a tenth of its power.
• After finishing his search of the wreckage, Chen Lin returned to the Quiet Chamber and swallowed the Bodhi Seed to gain sudden enlightenment.
• Chen Lin cultivated through the night at ten times his usual speed and neared the threshold of mid Nascent Soul.
• At dawn, Song Qiuya, Qin Chuxia, Zhang Ruoxi, Li Xiaoyue, Qin Churan, and Chen Qianqian saw three Chen Lin figures working around the courtyard and were shocked when the real Chen Lin appeared as well.
• Chen Lin explained that the three figures were his dao bodies, created by his One Qi Transforms into Three Purities divine ability.

Chen Lin’s Dao bodies continued their work while Clear Wind and Bright Moon broke through to fifth-level demon beasts. A distress signal from Heavenly Hatred True Lord revealed that three Cross-Boundary Travelers had cornered him in the Amazon, and Chen Lin reacted with murderous fury.

• Qin Chuxia tried to question Chen Yi and Chen Er, but they rebuffed her as they focused on processing herbs and refining pills.
• Chen Lin explained that his three Dao bodies had been stripped of emotion and assigned specialized work.
• Clear Wind and Bright Moon emerged from their cocoons with early Core Formation strength after awakening their bloodlines.
• Chen Lin received Heavenly Hatred True Lord’s broken distress message, which said three peak Nascent Soul Cross-Boundary Travelers were attacking him.
• In the Amazon Rainforest, the badly wounded Heavenly Hatred True Lord faced three masked peak late Nascent Soul figures and their powerful spirit beasts.

Chen Lin arrived at the Amazon Rainforest battlefield and used the East Emperor Bell to freeze three Sacred Spirit Sect elders and their spirit beasts. He saved Heavenly Hatred True Lord and ordered Star Moon Demon Saint to capture the intruders for questioning.

• Heavenly Hatred True Lord was about to be killed by a Six-Winged Demon Bat when Chen Lin arrived and stopped the attack with the East Emperor Bell.
• Chen Lin froze the three black-robed figures and their spirit beasts, revealing that his bell could suppress the peak Nascent Soul invaders.
• Star Moon Demon Saint, Changqingzi, and Yun Sheng arrived and saw Chen Lin holding the attackers motionless.
• Chen Lin gave Heavenly Hatred True Lord a pill and assured him that the ambush had not been his fault.
• Chen Lin loosened the invaders' restraints enough for them to speak and ordered Star Moon Demon Saint to place restrictions on them, preserving their nascent souls if they resisted.

Chen Lin captured three Sacred Spirit Sect elders and used soul-searching to uncover their invasion plans. He learned that the Cross-World Passage would open through a primary node at the Arctic Glacier, despite the destruction of other Blood Sacrifice Formations.

• Star Moon Demon Saint sealed the three Black-Robed Figures and subdued their spirit beasts.
• Chen Lin questioned the Black-Robed Figures, and their leader revealed the Sacred Spirit Sect’s plan to open a passage and invade in ten years.
• Chen Lin used his divine sense to search the leader’s soul, overwhelming him and killing him.
• Chen Lin learned that the Sacred Spirit Sect had a hundred thousand disciples, a hundred nascent soul cultivators, five early Deity Transformation elders, and possibly a mid Deity Transformation ancestor.
• Chen Lin discovered that the Blood Sacrifice Formations were guiding anchors and that the passage’s primary node was at the Arctic Glacier.

Chen Lin and his companions found the Arctic spatial fissure and its blood-powered altar, where a strike from a mid Deity Transformation Sacred Spirit Sect ancestor crossed worlds to attack them. Chen Lin blocked it with the East Emperor Bell, and the ancestor appeared through the fissure, intrigued by the bell.

• Chen Lin led the Star Moon Demon Saint, Changqingzi, Heavenly Hatred True Lord, and Yun Sheng beneath the Arctic glacier to the altar sustaining a spatial fissure.
• Heavenly Hatred True Lord rushed toward the altar, triggering a spatial pressure that immobilized him and the others.
• A gigantic finger of laws emerged from the fissure and targeted Chen Lin.
• Chen Lin rang the East Emperor Bell, freeing his companions and shattering the cross-world strike.
• The Sacred Spirit Sect's mid Deity Transformation ancestor appeared in the fissure and remarked on Chen Lin's damaged bell.

Chen Lin destroyed the Sacred Spirit Sect’s cross-world passage anchor, delaying their invasion for at least thirty years. After the furious patriarch vanished, Chen Lin reassured his frightened companions that thirty years was enough time to prepare.

• The old Daoist demanded Chen Lin’s bell and Deity-Transformation Shell and offered to take him and his allies as servants.
• Chen Lin summoned the Great Geng Sword Formation and cut through the old Daoist’s attack to destroy the altar’s formation eye.
• The altar collapsed, its blood-colored chains snapped, and the spatial rift contracted as backlash struck the old Daoist.
• The old Daoist threatened to invade and slaughter everyone in thirty years before the rift’s light screen shattered.
• Heavenly Hatred True Lord, Changqingzi, and Yun Sheng feared the Sacred Spirit Sect’s strength, but Chen Lin said thirty years was enough time to accomplish a great many things.

Chen Lin prepared Blue Star for the Sacred Spirit Sect’s invasion in thirty years by ordering nationwide cultivation recruitment and the mass production of Nascent Soul puppets. Back at Chen Family Village, he began organizing the villagers’ cultivation efforts.

• Chen Lin vowed to meet the Sacred Spirit Sect at the passage in thirty years, then ordered his followers to salvage the ruined altar’s materials and returned to Chen Family Village.
• Chen Lin told Ye Wenjun to activate phase two of the Hidden Dragon Plan, spread the Taiyin Breathing Technique, and screen the nation for people with spiritual roots.
• Chen Lin ordered Changqingzi and Heavenly Hatred True Lord to make ten thousand Nascent Soul Battle Puppets and gave his companions supreme-grade Realm-Breaking Pills for secluded cultivation.
• Chen Lin entered the Quiet Chamber to refine the East Emperor Bell, then declared he wanted the Sacred Spirit Sect to bring more people for him to kill.
• The next morning, Chen Lin and Yun Sheng gathered more than five hundred villagers at White Jade Square, where Yun Sheng called several dozen people forward.

Chen Lin equipped the young people of Chen Family Village with cultivation resources and found a pill to repair the Star Moon Demon Saint’s body and divine soul. The pill restored the Demon Saint’s power, but he still could not break through to deity transformation.

• Chen Lin gave thirty young people from Chen Family Village cultivation methods and pills, and ordered them to improve their cultivation.
• Chen Lin searched the Myriad Worlds Garbage Transfer Station and found three Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pills.
• Chen Lin gave a pill to Star Moon and ordered him to restore his true cultivation.
• Star Moon swallowed the pill, and its power fused his divine soul with the body and raised his aura beyond nascent soul.
• Star Moon’s breakthrough stalled at half-step deity transformation, and he blamed Heaven’s will.

Chen Lin realized Blue Star’s incomplete laws capped cultivators at half-step Deity Transformation and suspected the Sacred Spirit Sect had invaded to seize something hidden there. After three months of global victories and cultivation reforms, he prepared to meet with General Ye Wenjun and presented him with hundreds of storage bags.

• Star Moon Demon Saint told Chen Lin that incomplete Heavenly Dao laws prevented him from transforming his primordial spirit, and Chen Lin concluded that Blue Star’s cultivation ceiling was half-step Deity Transformation.
• Chen Lin recalled the Sacred Spirit Sect’s costly invasion and vowed to discover what its Deity Transformation Ancestor wanted before the intruder could claim it.
• Over three months, Yun Sheng, Changqingzi, Withered Wood, Violet Frost, and other Nascent Soul cultivators destroyed the Blood Sacrifice Formations, and Huaxia’s forces wiped out the mutant beasts.
• Gu Changfeng and Gu Qingxue trained students as newly appointed national university cultivation instructors while gifted students from across the country gathered in Yicheng.
• Chen Lin produced pills and artifacts with three Dao Bodies, then called Chen Guofu to arrange dinner for two extra guests.
• Ye Wenjun visited Chen Lin, who summoned hundreds of high-grade storage bags onto the table.

Chen Lin supplied Ye Wenjun with vast cultivation resources for training more than a million students, then used the Bodhi Seed to break through to mid Nascent Soul. The world began stretching apart, as ancient wilderness and mountains surged between distant cities.

• Chen Lin gave Ye Wenjun hundreds of Storage Bags filled with weapons, pills, and talismans, and Ye Wenjun promised to train the newly recruited students.
• The old man at Supreme Command Center ordered the nation’s scientific research and mineral resources directed to Chen Family Village without limit.
• After cultivating with Song Qiuya, Qin Chuxia, Qin Churan, Li Xiaoyue, and Zhang Ruoxi, Chen Lin entered the Quiet Chamber and used the Bodhi Seed to break through to mid Nascent Soul.
• Chen Lin’s breakthrough shook the spiritual vein, alarming Changqingzi, Heavenly Hatred True Lord, and Yun Sheng.
• Chen Lin sensed deep pulses beneath the earth and saw the land split and stretch, forcing cities apart as ancient soil and primeval mountains rose between them.

Blue Star expanded thirtyfold as spiritual energy revived and ancient folded spaces emerged, collapsing modern communications and devastating the world. Chen Lin identified the transformation as the awakening of an ancient ancestor star and mobilized his forces to defend Yicheng and restore order.

• Blue Star expanded rapidly, destroying infrastructure and bringing down satellites as spiritual energy flooded the world.
• Chen Lin's formations protected Chen Family Village and much of Yicheng, and he explained that ancient folded spaces were being released as the planet awakened.
• Chen Lin told Ye Wenjun to use Voice Transmission Talismans, organize trained students and soldiers to explore the new terrain, and seize resources.
• Chen Lin ordered Heavenly Hatred True Lord and Changqingzi to guard Yicheng's borders with three hundred Nascent Soul Battle Puppets and kill hostile demon beasts.
• Chen Lin ordered Yun Sheng and Star Moon to maintain order in the city and directed Chu Ran, Xiao Yue, and Ruoxi to reassure the villagers.

As the Ancestral Star’s spiritual energy returned and new folded spaces emerged, Di Shisan and Kunpeng ordered their forces to explore while forbidding attacks on humans near their territories. Chen Lin coordinated human expeditions from Yicheng as reports arrived of newly revealed lands and resources.

• Death Valley expanded into the Vast Primeval Mountains, and Di Shisan stopped the Black Bear Great Demon from leading an attack on humans.
• Di Shisan ordered Kunlun’s demons to explore newly emerged folded spaces and forbade them from entering human cities or harming humans without cause.
• The Mariana Trench opened into a vast new ocean, and Kunpeng struck down a Sea General who proposed attacking Chen Family Village.
• Kunpeng ordered the Sea Tribe to expand into new waters while declaring all seas within two thousand li of the coast forbidden.
• Chen Lin received reports from Ye Wenjun about new lands and resources, then warned the human expeditions not to advance recklessly and to signal for help against dangerous demons.

Chen Lin sent Yun Sheng and six women west into the expanded wilderness to find opportunities, where they discovered a blood-red tree bearing golden fruits. The women’s formation faced a powerful Two-Headed Demon Vine Ape, and the chapter ended with Qin Churan saving Chen Qianqian from its venom.

• Chen Lin gave the women supplies and sent them west under Yun Sheng’s supervision to experience combat.
• The group crossed into the Vast Primeval Forest and found a blood-red tree with three golden fruits in a silent basin.
• Song Qiuya organized the women into a formation while Yun Sheng sensed a dangerous beast beneath the tree.
• A Two-Headed Demon Vine Ape burst from the ground, shattered Li Xiaoyue’s shields, and injured her.
• Qin Chuxia’s attack barely scorched the ape, which then spat venom at Chen Qianqian.
• Qin Churan tackled Chen Qianqian clear of the venom, which melted the rock where they had stood.

Song Qiuya and the others defeated a berserk Demon Ape at great cost and brought three mysterious Golden Fruits back to Chen Lin. After inspecting one, Chen Lin found that even Star Moon Demon Saint could not identify it.

• Song Qiuya coordinated the women’s attack as Zhang Ruoxi struck the Demon Ape, Li Xiaoyue bound its legs, and Qin Chuxia and Qin Churan wounded its chest.
• The Demon Ape broke free and attacked Zhang Ruoxi, so Song Qiuya shielded her with her life-bound true essence and was badly injured.
• Qin Chuxia destroyed her own meridians to enter the Demon Ape through its mouth and kill it from within.
• Yun Sheng gave the battered women Essence-Returning Pills, and Qin Chuxia brought three Golden Fruits to Chen Lin.
• Chen Lin examined a Golden Fruit and asked Heavenly Hatred True Lord and Star Moon Demon Saint to identify it, but neither recognized it.

Chen Lin identified the Golden Essence Fruits as treasures that could raise cultivators below late Core Formation by one minor stage without side effects, and sent teams to seize the Ancestral Star’s remaining riches. As his forces set out, Ye Wenjun reported that ancient bronze-armored people had emerged from folded space beneath the Sanxingdui Ruins and slaughtered two squads.

• Chen Lin appraised the Golden Fruit and learned that it could let cultivators below late Core Formation advance one minor stage without adverse effects.
• Song Qiuya said a peak late Core Formation Two-Headed Demon Vine Ape had guarded the fruits, shocking Chen Lin and the others.
• Song Qiuya, Qin Chuxia, and Li Xiaoyue ate the fruits and advanced to the middle stage of Core Formation within two hours.
• Chen Lin ordered Yun Sheng, Heavenly Hatred, and Star Moon to lead Nascent Soul Battle Puppet teams east, west, and south to claim treasures and fight obstructive demon beasts.
• Ye Wenjun urgently told Chen Lin that ancient people in bronze armor had emerged beneath the Sanxingdui Ruins and killed two squads.

Chen Lin responded to the Silkworm God Tribe’s massacre near the Sanxingdui ruins and went alone to stop their blood sacrifice. He overwhelmed their forces and unleashed the Azure Cloud Swords, leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• Ye Wenjun told Chen Lin that the Silkworm God Tribe had defeated Huaxia’s forces, killed civilians, and begun building a bronze altar.
• Chen Lin ordered the troops to retreat, told Song Qiuya to activate the village’s defenses, and flew toward the ruins aboard the Heavenly Shuttle.
• At the Bronze Divine Mountain, the Silkworm God Tribe’s commander ordered civilians captured for the altar’s blood sacrifice and threatened the retreating forces.
• Chen Lin arrived above the ruins and used his divine sense to force the Core Formation soldiers to their knees while confronting their commander.
• After the commander threatened him with the Ancient Shu Royal Court, Chen Lin released thirty-six Azure Cloud Swords and sent them against the bronze-armored soldiers.
