Chapter Summaries

Chen Lin equipped his nine companions with expensive immortal artifacts and talismans before leading them to the Seventh Theater Command. There, reception officer A-Liang doubted Chen Lin’s claimed cultivation, and Chen Lin released the pressure of his late Great Vehicle realm.

• A-Liang questioned Chen Lin’s cultivation and warned him against falsifying military information.
• Chen Lin removed the concealment on his Illusory Star Robe and revealed the overwhelming pressure of his late Great Vehicle realm.

After A-Liang discovered Chen Lin’s extraordinary cultivation and age, he summoned Ning Yao, who reassigned Chen Lin and his companions from the cannon-fodder roster to the Seventh Theater Command’s Supply Battalion. Chen Lin welcomed the safer logistics post as an opportunity to use his resources and the Purple Gold Jar.

• A-Liang learned Chen Lin had reached late great vehicle in less than fifty years and crushed an emergency Jade Slip to summon help.

• A-Liang congratulated Chen Lin on the lucrative, safer post, and Chen Lin asked him to lead the way.

Chen Lin and his nine companions reported to Centurion Gu Yuan at the Seventh Theater Command’s B-Class Supply Battalion. After Chen’s strength shocked Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan explained why cultivators had to carry supplies to the battlefield by hand, leaving Chen newly informed about the dangers of the frontline.

• A-Liang escorted Chen Lin and his nine companions to their quarters in the grim military camp and told them Gu Yuan commanded their squad.
• Gu Yuan tried to intimidate the newcomers with his tribulation transcendence pressure, but Chen Lin’s dormant true dragon qi and blood rebounded against Gu Yuan’s divine sense and revealed Chen’s overwhelming strength.
• Gu Yuan changed his attitude, offered Chen Lin a private compound for his squad, and welcomed him warmly.
• Chen Lin asked why the Supply Battalion used cultivators to escort supplies when storage Immortal Artifacts and spatial travel existed.
• Gu Yuan explained that frontline space was shattered and unstable, storage Immortal Artifacts usually could not open there, and supplies had to be carried in special Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Boxes.

Gu Yuan explained the Seventh Theater Command's immense scale and warned Chen Lin that supply escorts suffered at least twenty percent casualties. After a month of preparation, Chen Lin and his squad were called to begin their first escort mission to Blackwind Pass.

• Gu Yuan told Chen Lin and the others that the supply battalion transported immortal crystals and heavenly treasures, and that its once-yearly escort missions crossed enemy blockades with heavy casualties.
• Gu Yuan revealed that the Seventh Theater Command contained over a million combat zones, each with at least a hundred thousand troops, and warned that the squad's next mission to Blackwind Pass was scheduled for the following month.
• Heavenly Hatred True Lord warned Chen Lin that the squad might be unable to use storage immortal artifacts during the mission and could be trapped if attacked.
• Over the next month, Chen Lin consolidated his cultivation while Song Qiuya, Qin Chuxia, Yun Sheng, and the others stabilized their cultivation and prepared for the battlefield.
• Chen Lin and his squad watched supply flying boats depart and learned that each carried Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Boxes loaded with immortal crystals and healing medicines.
• Gu Yuan arrived at the courtyard in bloodstained black armor and announced that it was time to depart.

Chen Lin joined Gu Yuan’s supply convoy to Blackwind Pass, where the hundred cultivators traveled aboard ten Flying Boats through the dangerous void. When enemy Ghost Warships ambushed them, their leader attacked the Seventh Flying Boat, and Chen Lin shattered his Ghost Claw with a single punch.

• Gu Yuan warned Chen Lin and the other cultivators that the route to Blackwind Pass was dangerous before leading the hundred-man unit to the supply square.
• Chen Lin’s late Great Vehicle strength awed the veteran squad leaders as the convoy loaded its supplies and prepared to depart.

• The enemy leader targeted the Seventh Flying Boat and slammed a blood-red Ghost Claw into its defensive barrier.
• Chen Lin gathered his physical strength and shattered the Ghost Claw with one punch.

Chen Lin shielded the supply fleet with the Purple Gold Jar after a Human Immortal arrived and tried to seize it. When the immortal failed to break the jar, he attacked Flying Boat Three, leaving its defenders exposed to raiders.

• Chen Lin killed the black-python brute with one punch, but a white-robed Human Immortal arrived and suppressed the battlefield.
• The Human Immortal attacked Chen Lin with an azure immortal sword, and Chen Lin used the Purple Gold Jar to protect all ten supply boats.
• The Purple Gold Jar shattered the immortal sword and resisted the Human Immortal’s attempts to move or burn it, while he exhausted much of his power.
• The Human Immortal abandoned his assault on the jar and broke Flying Boat Three’s defensive barrier with a sustained attack.
• The raiders rushed toward Flying Boat Three’s supply crates, while two Mahayana raider leaders pinned Gu Yuan down as he tried to help.

Chen Lin and his companions used four immortal artifacts to repel a raider attack and drive off a Human Immortal. When the supply fleet reached Blackwind Pass, Chen Lin sensed that terrifying enemies beyond the Human Immortal Realm were waiting inside the Spatial Vortex.

• Li Xiaoyue summoned an immortal shield that killed the charging Void Refinement raiders and shocked the white-robed elder and Gu Yuan.
• Song Qiuya and Qin Chuxia unleashed their sword and fan immortal artifacts, gravely wounding the elder with an intertwined storm of ice and fire.
• The white-robed elder crushed a Space-Breaking Talisman and fled with several followers, while the remaining raiders scattered or died in the lingering laws.
• Chen Lin and his companions put away their artifacts, and Gu Yuan resumed the fleet’s journey after Chen Lin urged him to set off.
• Half a month later, Chen Lin sensed powerful hostile auras beyond the Human Immortal Realm waiting inside the Spatial Vortex at Blackwind Pass.

Chen Lin exposed an ambush by two Earth Immortals and used Ling Yuling’s jade token to unleash Peak True Immortal sword intent. The sword froze the battlefield and left the attackers panicking and trying to escape.

• Chen Lin shattered the false rendezvous point and revealed the flying boats were trapped inside a spatial formation.
• The two Earth Immortals crushed Gu Yuan and the other cultivators, then shattered Yun Sheng, Song Qiuya, and Qin Chuxia’s attacks.
• Chen Lin stood unaffected by the Earth Immortal pressure and activated the jade token Ling Yuling had given him.
• Peak True Immortal sword intent froze time and terrified both Earth Immortals, who unleashed their defenses and attempted to flee.

Chen Lin used Ling Yuling’s lifesaving talisman to annihilate two Earth Immortals and break the illusion formation, then reached the real Blackwind Pass. Commander Wang Teng learned Chen Lin’s terrifying youth and strength, welcomed him warmly, and warned him about ruthless enemies in the Mirror Theater Command.

• Chen Lin’s silver sword light erased two Earth Immortals, destroyed the Grand Void Illusion Formation, and left their two lower-grade immortal artifacts for him to collect.
• Gu Yuan hurried the ten flying boats onward, and the convoy reached the real Blackwind Pass transfer point half an hour later.
• Wang Teng covertly examined Chen Lin and discovered that he was not yet three hundred years old, then changed his wary scrutiny into an effort to win him over.
• Wang Teng invited Chen Lin to sit with him while the garrison unloaded the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Boxes, and Li Xiaoyue, Song Qiuya, and the others followed.
• Wang Teng warned Chen Lin that brutal opponents in the Mirror Theater Command had begun killing their counterparts, describing how one had torn apart a quasi-immortal from the Twelfth Theater Command.

Chen Lin learned more about the Mirror Universe from Wang Teng, who gave him a Tribulation Immortal Lotus to secure his favor. As Chen Lin returned to the Seventh Theater Command, he planned to use the lotus and Cangyuan Hall to strengthen his companions and advance toward Tribulation Transcendence.

• Chen Lin asked Wang Teng how combatants could defeat identical versions of themselves in the Mirror Universe, and Wang Teng explained that victory depended on ruthlessness and unrevealed trump cards.
• Wang Teng gave Chen Lin a Tribulation Immortal Lotus that could increase the chance of surviving immortal ascension tribulation by thirty percent, and Chen Lin accepted it.
• Gu Yuan completed the unloading of supplies, and Chen Lin led his group onto the Seventh Flying Boat as the ten boats departed Blackwind Pass.
• Song Qiuya asked why Wang Teng had changed his attitude, and Chen Lin said Wang Teng had recognized his youth and potential.
• Chen Lin told Song Qiuya that the group could share the lotus and should enter Cangyuan Hall to cultivate, while he planned to accelerate his own advance against the Mirror Theater Command.

After surviving the Blackwind Pass escort mission, Chen Lin and his companions used the Cangyuan Hall to cultivate during their ten-month leave. Chen Lin reached Tribulation Transcendence, then questioned whether the hall was truly an immortal artifact and asked Cangyuan about its former master and real grade.

• Chen Lin divided the two Earth Immortals’ lower-grade immortal artifacts between Yun Sheng and Song Qiuya, then brought everyone into the Cangyuan Hall.
• Chen Lin found the hall’s inner space compressed by the battlefield’s laws and ordered Cangyuan to set its time flow to ten times normal while the group cultivated with high-grade spirit crystals.
• Chen Lin took a Tribulation Immortal Lotus petal and cultivated in seclusion as his companions advanced their realms.
• Yun Sheng reached early Great Vehicle, while the other women and Clear Wind and Bright Moon also broke through during the eight years inside the hall.
• Chen Lin reached Tribulation Transcendence without an external lightning tribulation and realized the Cangyuan Hall’s abilities exceeded those of ordinary immortal artifacts.
• Chen Lin asked Cangyuan what realm her former master had reached and what grade the hall had truly been.

Chen Lin discovered that Cangyuan Hall’s spirit Cangyuan was an Innate Spirit Treasure and bound her to him before leaving the hall after a year. Back in the Seventh Theater Command, he was promoted to centurion, established his authority over his new unit, and returned to seclusion.

• Cangyuan could not recall her past, and Chen Lin realized her damaged artifact spirit was likely an Innate Spirit Treasure, so he ordered her to conceal her aura.
• Chen Lin sealed a life-and-death contract with Cangyuan by placing his true dragon essence blood in her origin essence.
• After returning to the Supply Battalion courtyard, Chen Lin faced Ning Yao, who recognized his breakthrough to tribulation transcendence and promoted him to centurion under her direct command.
• Chen Lin went to the Guard Camp, shattered its Purple Gold Boundary-Setting Stone with one strike, and made the hundred Mahayana veterans submit.
• Chen Lin delegated daily affairs to others, set basic military rules, and returned to his private courtyard to cultivate.

Chen Lin faced a world-destroying immortal ascension tribulation, enduring dozens of increasingly powerful lightning strikes with his body before chaos heavenly thunder shattered him. The Tribulation Immortal Lotus revived him, but the tribulation’s outcome remained uncertain.

• After two months of cultivation, Chen Lin emerged from seclusion as the Myriad Worlds Battlefield’s laws locked onto him and blood clouds gathered above the Seventh Theater Command.
• Chen Lin ordered everyone to retreat, then punched apart the first blood-red lightning bolt and endured the next forty strikes without using a shield or treasure.
• Dark-gold lightning struck with increasing force, tearing through Chen Lin’s courtyard and injuring him as onlookers realized the tribulation was beyond ordinary immortal ascension.
• Ning Yao recognized the final gray bolt as chaos heavenly thunder, and it pierced Chen Lin’s defenses, cracking his body and blasting him into pieces.
• The Tribulation Immortal Lotus Wang Teng had given Chen Lin activated, gathered his scattered remains, and restored his bones, meridians, and flesh within three breaths.

Chen Lin survived the forty-ninth tribulation bolt when Great Master Xuandu intervened and exposed a Quasi-Saint’s attempt to kill him. Xuandu confronted the armored fat man, and their battle began above the Seventh Theater Command.

• The purple lightning descended on Chen Lin, but a golden hand emerged from a spatial rift and crushed it before dispersing the blood clouds.
• Great Master Xuandu appeared and revealed the hidden, heavily armored fat man who had tampered with Chen Lin’s tribulation.
• The fat man claimed he had only meant to test Chen Lin, while Chen Lin resolved to remember the ambush.
• Great Master Xuandu attacked with the Tai Chi Diagram, pinning the fat man beneath a golden bridge.
• The fat man broke through the bridge’s suppression with three thousand war drums, and Xuandu sent black-and-white shears against his Burial Ground.

Xuandu, Yunxiao, and Guang Chengzi nearly killed the fat man in heavy armor, but the Space-Time God intervened and reversed time to rescue him. The commanders investigated Chen Lin and realized the Mirror Universe’s interest in the young Human Immortal might be tied to the war’s most important stakes.

• Xuandu overwhelmed the fat man in heavy armor, then Yunxiao’s Green Duckweed Sword and Guang Chengzi’s Heaven-Flipping Seal joined the attack.
• The fat man called for Space-Time, who froze time, reversed the damage, and carried him away through a spatial vortex.
• Yunxiao and Guang Chengzi joined Xuandu, and the three supreme commanders examined Chen Lin through the World-Guarding Grand Formation.
• Guang Chengzi confirmed Chen Lin was under three hundred years old and in the Human Immortal Realm, while the commanders questioned why the Space-Time God had rescued the fat man for his sake.

After surviving the tribulation, Chen Lin reached the early human immortal realm and gained a body with heavenly immortal-level strength. Ning Yao moved him and his guards to her private estate, where he planned to hide and cultivate until he could reach great golden immortal.

• Great Master Xuandu, Yunxiao, and Guang Chengzi departed to report the suspicious events to the Three Pure Ones.
• Chen Lin discovered that he had reached the early human immortal realm and that his physical strength rivaled a fully developed heavenly immortal’s.
• Ning Yao questioned Chen Lin, then told him and his guards to stop taking escort missions and remain safely in the rear camp.
• Song Qiuya, Yun Sheng, Qin Chuxia, and the others rushed to Chen Lin and confirmed he was unharmed.
• Ning Yao brought Chen Lin and his companions to her private estate, which was powered by nine immortal veins and a mystic immortal-level formation.
• Ning Yao noticed the charred, withered parasol tree beside the pavilion and briefly showed restrained sadness.

After witnessing the Quasi-Saints’ battle, Chen Lin sealed the estate and began training in Cangyuan Hall. The Three Pure Ones decided to leave him in the rear to grow on his own, while Chen Lin sensed a brief, terrifying gaze and resumed cultivating.

• Chen Lin used the Jade Slip to seal the estate, warned his companions to train, and activated maximum time acceleration and spiritual-energy draw in Cangyuan Hall.
• Great Master Xuandu, Guang Chengzi, and Yunxiao entered the Three Pure Ones’ Dojo and reported the attack on Chen Lin to their masters.
• The Three Pure Ones concluded that the Space-Time God viewed Chen Lin as a wildcard, but Taiqing Laozi refused to move him to safety and said to let karma unfold on its own.
• Chen Lin felt an instant of being watched through Cangyuan Hall, then wiped away his cold sweat and continued absorbing immortal qi.

Dugu Baitian received word that the mirror Space-Time God had crossed worlds to retrieve Chen Lin, prompting the Space-Time God and Chen Zhan to investigate Chen Lin’s future. They discovered Chen Lin and his companions had no Mirror Universe replicas, but an unknown will intervened before they could see how far Chen Lin would rise.

• Dugu Baitian shared a message from Xuandu that the mirror Space-Time God had personally brought Chen Lin back after a surprise attack.
• The Space-Time God and Chen Zhan entered the River of Time to investigate Chen Lin’s future.
• The two Sages saw the battlefields remain in stalemate for ten thousand years before finding Chen Lin leading eleven powerful companions on the Seventh Battlefield.
• The Space-Time God discovered that Chen Lin and his companions had no Mirror Universe replicas and realized they could break the deadlock.
• The Space-Time God tried to look a hundred thousand years into the future, but the River of Time turned pitch-black as a greater will intervened.

The Sages learned that Chen Lin and the eleven people beside him had no duplicates in the Mirror Universe, making them a blind spot in its laws. The Space-Time God sent Chen Lin the acquired supreme treasure Immortal Spirit Diagram, and Cangyuan recognized it when it appeared in his manor.

• Chen Lin’s future self repelled the Space-Time God and Chen Zhan from the River of Time, severing their view of the future.
• The Space-Time God told Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, and Chen Zhan that Chen Lin and his companions had no duplicates in the Mirror Universe.
• Dugu Baitian decided Chen Lin should remain in the Seventh Theater Command and receive whatever resources he needed to grow.
• The Space-Time God gave Chen Lin the Immortal Spirit Diagram, which held one hundred thousand supreme-grade immortal crystal veins and could regenerate mined veins.
• The Immortal Spirit Diagram appeared beside Chen Lin as he cultivated, and Cangyuan identified it as an acquired supreme treasure.

Chen Lin discovered that the Immortal Spirit Diagram contained a hundred thousand supreme-grade immortal crystal veins, then received three powerful gifts from the Three Pure Ones through Holy Mother Huo Ling. He was left with immense treasures and a command to grow stronger quickly because he was the only unpredictable factor in a hopeless deadlock.

• Chen Lin examined the Immortal Spirit Diagram and found a hundred thousand supreme-grade immortal crystal veins that renewed endlessly.
• Ning Yao brought Holy Mother Huo Ling to Chen Lin, who explained that the Three Pure Ones had made an exception because of his potential.
• Holy Mother Huo Ling gave Chen Lin the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda from Taiqing, the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Art from Yuqing, and three drops of Pangu essence blood from Shangqing.
• Holy Mother Huo Ling told Chen Lin to keep the gifts and grow stronger quickly, then left in a streak of fire.
• Ning Yao offered Chen Lin any supplies he needed and hurried away, shaken by the Three Pure Ones' favor toward him.
