Chapter Summaries

General Lu failed to persuade Xue Chan to stay and vowed to free her by killing the tyrant. Elsewhere, Ye Han ambushed a Great Guandao wielder to seize his golden Token, then escaped a deadly counterattack while death aura began numbing his wrist.

• Xue Chan left the Restrictive Barrier, and General Lu vowed to rescue her by going to the Tyrant Divine Temple to kill the tyrant.
• Ye Han followed the Great Guandao wielder to a great hall and used the Immortal-Slaying Saber to sever the hand holding the golden Token.
• The Great Guandao wielder attacked Ye Han, while the severed hand turned into corrosive blood essence that began invading his meridians.
• Ye Han used the Vajra Fire God Art to knock the blood essence away, then escaped a ten-thousand-zhang slash with the Thunder Escape Technique.
• Ye Han reappeared a thousand zhang away with his wrist numb from the lingering death aura.

Ye Han escaped the guandao wielder’s attack with a Teleportation Talisman and secured the golden Token. He transferred the lingering death aura to his clone as bait, then returned to the Great Hall to continue exploring.

• Ye Han drove the death aura from his wrist as the guandao wielder regrew his arm and led the Guardian Divine Race members in a charge.
• Ye Han teleported away, leaving his pursuers’ attacks to strike empty space and freeing the petrified fighters with the guandao wielder’s shockwave.
• Ye Han reunited with his clone and White Fairy in the Side Hall and examined the golden Token he had taken from the guandao wielder.
• Ye Han realized the lingering death aura could lure his enemies away, so he transferred it to his clone and sent the clone and White Fairy out as bait.
• Ye Han put away the teleportation formation and circled back to the plaza before the Great Hall.

Ye Han entered the great hall with the golden token and found a Spell-Cultivator Divine Race giant sword wielder guarding the High Lord Pill Furnace. He trapped the guardian in the Purple Cauldron Space and tried to seize the furnace, whose flames the token’s barrier blocked.

• Ye Han used the golden token to open the great hall’s restriction and entered while the other guardians pursued his clone.
• A Spell-Cultivator Divine Race giant sword wielder began breaking free of petrification as Ye Han entered.
• Ye Han sent the giant sword wielder into the Purple Cauldron Space, where the Myriad Treasures Formation sealed and attacked him.
• Ye Han approached the High Lord Pill Furnace and was protected from its flames by the golden token.
• Ye Han formed a golden light hand to seize the furnace while it continued blasting flames at him.

Ye Han stole the High Lord Pill Furnace by briefly trapping the giant-sword Spell-Cultivator Divine Race warrior in the Purple Cauldron Space, then escaped the great hall and left the warrior turned to stone against its restriction. As Ye Han hurried onward and ordered the Ten-Thousand-Year Water Spirit to repair his formation, he worried that the missing Painted Sky Halberd warrior might be seeking the woman imprisoned in the Small Pagoda, then sensed that it had caught up with his clone.

• Ye Han pulled the High Lord Pill Furnace into the Purple Cauldron Space, but the giant-sword warrior broke free and burst back into the great hall.
• Ye Han fled through the golden restriction and sealed it behind him, trapping the giant-sword warrior inside.
• The giant-sword warrior struck the restriction, was thrown back, and turned to stone when golden runes enveloped him.
• Ye Han assessed the damage to his Myriad Treasures Formation and hurried around the hall, reasoning that the Painted Sky Halberd warrior might be searching for the woman in the Small Pagoda.
• Ye Han ordered the Ten-Thousand-Year Water Spirit to repair the formation, then sensed that the Painted Sky Halberd warrior had caught up with his clone.

Ye Han recovered his clone and White Fairy inside the Purple Cauldron Space, then sent them out again while he went another way. General Lu learned that the Great Guandao warrior had lost the Tyrant Token to the outsider, leaving his plan to reach the Tyrant in jeopardy.

• Ye Han learned that the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race and Guardian Divine Race warriors had ambushed his clone and White Fairy, who escaped into the Purple Cauldron Space after expending much of their spell power.
• Ye Han used the Purple Cauldron aura to restore the clone and White Fairy, then sent them out in one direction while he traveled in another.
• The Great Guandao warrior searched the empty side hall with the other warriors and lamented losing the Tyrant Token entrusted to him by General Lu.
• General Lu arrived, seized the Great Guandao warrior, and erupted in fury when he learned the token was gone.
• General Lu realized the outsider had likely stolen the Tyrant Token and worried that reaching the Tyrant and rescuing Xue Chan would now be difficult.

Ye Han entered a palace that appeared to be a medicinal-pills workshop after General Lu and the Great Guandao wielder set out to hunt him. He was shocked to find four members of the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race inside.

• General Lu ordered the Great Guandao wielder and the others to search for Ye Han, then headed toward the Golden Spirit Hall to intercept him.
• Ye Han hid near the palace, identified its broken plaque as suggesting it was a medicine workshop, and learned his clone and White Fairy had been injured again.
• Ye Han decided to enter before the divine races could find him and used the golden Token to open the palace's Restrictive Barrier.
• Ye Han passed through the palace gates, smelled a strong scent of medicinal pills, and discovered four members of the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race inside.

Ye Han entered a Great Hall and found four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members guarding its pill storehouse. They sealed the exits and attacked together, leaving Ye Han trapped and searching for a way to survive.

• Ye Han discovered four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members awakening inside the Great Hall and immediately tried to flee.
• A gray death-aura barrier blocked Ye Han's Instantaneous Movement, and the hall doors shut and sealed behind him.
• Ye Han realized the four members' linked auras powered the Great Hall's restrictions and that he would need to defeat them to open the doors or reach the pills.
• The four members joined their blood-colored death auras into a storm and sent four Demon Dragons charging at Ye Han.

Ye Han fled four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race guards by using the pill cabinets as cover, then opened the restriction to the second floor with the Golden Token. When the guards’ attack nearly broke the stairway barrier, the Token’s golden figure restored it and caused the guards to turn back to stone.

• Ye Han used Light-Escape Step to dodge the four guards’ attacks while weaving around pill cabinets they were trying not to damage.
• Ye Han reached the second-floor stairway and opened its Golden-Light Restriction with the Golden Token, while the Purple Cauldron sensed a treasure beyond it.
• Ye Han rushed through the barrier as the four guards unleashed a combined spear-ray that cracked the restriction.
• The Golden Token released the golden figure, which repaired the barrier and made the guards’ death auras vanish as their bodies began turning to stone.

After the Golden-Light Token frightened the four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members into turning to stone, Ye Han entered the second layer and found its seven-sworded guardian had already died. He discovered rare heavenly treasures and another heaven-mending stone, but could not bypass the display counter’s restriction.

• Ye Han went up to the second layer despite worrying that the weakened Golden-Light Token might not help him leave.
• Ye Han found the hall filled with rare heavenly treasures and a petrified Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member carrying seven longswords.
• Ye Han struck the seven-sworded member with a Fireburst Talisman, shattering him and confirming he was dead.
• Ye Han tried to use the Golden-Light Token to open a display counter’s restriction, but it had no effect.
• Ye Han followed the Purple Cauldron’s signal and found another heaven-mending stone, then wondered how to retrieve it.

Ye Han used the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race woman's divine soul to break the restriction around a heaven-mending stone and fed it to his Purple Cauldron. The cauldron transformed and grew stronger, while Ye Han remained cautious about affecting Ye Tianyu's unusual condition.

• Ye Han concluded that the golden Token could not open the counter's restriction and released the woman's preserved divine soul from the Ghost Skull Mirror.
• The woman's divine soul shattered the counter's restriction, and Ye Han recalled her into the Ghost Skull Mirror before taking the heaven-mending stone.
• Both Purple Cauldrons reacted eagerly, but Ye Han gave the stone to his own because he feared strengthening Ye Tianyu's cauldron could disrupt his strange condition.
• The two Purple Metal Runes on Ye Han's Purple Cauldron merged into a new rune bearing an eerie eye pattern, expanding the cauldron space and increasing its spiritual energy.
• The changes doubled the growth of the sword qi sapling and vines and the rate at which the purple rune chains absorbed the auras of the mysterious Broken Sword and Golden Light Staff; another unexpected event then delighted Ye Han.

Ye Han recovered an extraordinary pill from the High Lord Pill Furnace and decided to cultivate on the Underwater Palace’s second floor rather than risk entering the third floor or confronting the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race below. He planned to use the time to strengthen himself, restore a divine soul, and prepare for future battles.

• Ye Han’s clone and White Fairy joined forces to extract the pill from the High Lord Pill Furnace and seal it inside an ice-blue box.
• Ye Han examined the pill and judged that it could increase his cultivation and spell power and help him break through a bottleneck, though the Purple Cauldron might absorb its bottleneck-breaking properties.
• Ye Han explored the second floor, found the sealed entrance to the third floor, and chose not to open it because he could not be sure it was safe.
• Ye Han decided to remain on the second floor and cultivate so he could become strong enough to fight the four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members guarding the first floor.
• Ye Han noted that the Purple Cauldron’s repaired aura had accelerated the growth of its plants, including a golden-rune fruit expected to ripen in seven or eight years.
• Ye Han ordered his clone to refine more pills to restore the female Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member’s divine soul, and planned to gather treasures and advance Ninefold Lightness to its sixth layer.

Ye Han refined the outer-heaven true iron from seven swords and tried using purple cauldron aura to restore the weakened Golden Token, but the cost was too high. After replenishing the Purple Cauldron with spiritual energy, he swallowed a mysterious breakthrough pill and began attempting to raise his cultivation.

• Ye Han put seven swords containing outer-heaven true iron into the Purple Cauldron Space for White Fairy to refine.
• Ye Han found that the Golden Token absorbed too much purple cauldron aura for little recovery, so he stopped and gathered heaven and earth spiritual energy to replenish the Purple Cauldron.
• Ye Han decided to prioritize restoring the female Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member’s divine soul aura and improving his cultivation before repairing the Golden Token.
• Ye Han opened a blue box containing a mysterious pill from the High Lord Pill Furnace and swallowed it while preventing the Purple Cauldron from absorbing its aura.
• Ye Han felt the pill’s medicinal power surge through his body as golden spell power ripples gathered around him, and he began attempting a breakthrough from the fourth layer of Void Refinement.

Ye Han refined the pill from the High Lord Pill Furnace for eight years and broke through to the fifth layer of the Void Refinement Stage. Outside the Myriad Treasures Pill Room, the Great Guandao wielder’s forces waited for him to emerge, while General Lu continued trying to refine the Heavenly Demon Heart.

• The Great Guandao wielder surrounded the Myriad Treasures Pill Room with Spell-Cultivator Divine Race and Guardian Divine Race members, then had them petrify to conserve their strength while they waited for Ye Han.
• General Lu heard that Ye Han had entered the pill room and feared the Four Heavenly Kings might kill him, but he believed Ye Han could exploit their weaknesses.
• Ye Han spent eight years refining the pill from the High Lord Pill Furnace and absorbed its medicinal power.
• Ye Han broke through his cultivation bottleneck and reached the fifth layer of the Void Refinement Stage.

Ye Han continued cultivating in seclusion, refining the pill’s remaining power and strengthening his treasures. After adding outer-heaven true iron to the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel, he took a Sixth-Layer Lightness Pill to advance Ninefold Lightness and prepare to confront the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race Members below.

• Ye Han kept absorbing the pill’s medicinal power while the Purple Cauldron Shadow gathered spiritual energy, helping him recover the Female Spell-Cultivator Divine Race Member and unlock more treasure cabinets.
• Over the years, Ye Han took two-thirds of the second batch of treasures and used them to refine pills, strengthen treasures, and enhance the Purple Cauldron aura.
• Ye Han extracted a piece of outer-heaven true iron from a Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member’s longsword and merged it into the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel.
• After four more years, Ye Han successfully refined a Sixth-Layer Lightness Pill and swallowed it to advance Ninefold Lightness, preparing to deal with the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race Members below.

Ye Han prepared the reinforced Myriad Treasures Formation and a teleportation formation before confronting the four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members guarding the Pill Room’s first floor. He sent three flying with a cudgel strike and trapped the fourth inside the Purple Cauldron Space, where it attacked the formation.

• Ye Han finished reinforcing the Myriad Treasures Formation after gathering the second floor’s Heavenly Treasures and finding nothing on the third floor.
• Ye Han prepared a teleportation formation, took up the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel, and entered the first floor.
• Ye Han struck the four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members, blasting three into a pill cabinet.
• Ye Han dodged the fourth member’s spear-ray attack and drew it through a spatial passage into the Purple Cauldron Space.
• The fourth Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member landed in the Myriad Treasures Formation and attacked it with spear-rays.

Ye Han fought three Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members in the Pill Room while the Myriad Treasures Formation battled the one he had trapped inside the Purple Cauldron Space. The formation drove its captive back and the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda descended, but the chapter ended before the fight was decided.

• Ye Han blasted three Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members away and trapped the fourth in his Purple Cauldron Space before they could fully recover their strength.
• The three members charged Ye Han, but his Teleportation Talisman crumbled because the Pill Room prevented teleportation.
• Ye Han used the sixth layer of the Nine-Jun Lightness cultivation technique to evade their attacks and restored his power by refining more than a hundred pills with the Purple Cauldron.
• The Myriad Treasures Formation cut off the captive Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member's access to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, but his spear intent nearly broke the Restrictive Barrier.
• The stored spiritual energy reinforced the formation, whose counterattack drove the captive back as the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda expanded and descended upon him.

Ye Han's clone and White Fairy used the Myriad Treasures Formation and two Immortal Treasures to exhaust and kill a Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member, breaking the four enemies' combined divine ability. Sensing the victory, Ye Han turned from evading the three remaining members and charged at one of them.

• Ye Han's clone and White Fairy trapped a Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member and attacked him with the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda and White Dragon Sky-Viewing Goblet.
• The Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member held off their attacks briefly with a giant spear and a Black Giant Dragon, but his depleted power caused him to petrify and shatter.
• The Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda and White Giant Dragon stopped in midair, and Ye Han realized the enemy had exhausted his divine soul and spell power.
• With one member dead, the three remaining Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members pursued Ye Han through the first-layer hall while avoiding the pill cabinets.
• Ye Han sensed the battle's outcome, wielded the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel, and charged at one of the three remaining enemies.

Ye Han killed the four Spell-Cultivator Divine Race members, found a token that opened the first-floor pill cabinets, and collected their pills. After preparing for the enemies waiting outside, he stayed in the pill hall to await the fruit on the Purple Cauldron’s vine ripening.

• Ye Han used the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda and White Dragon Sky-Viewing Goblet to kill the last Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member and retrieve a Hundred Treasures token.
• Ye Han used the token to open a pill counter, then had White Fairy and his clone collect the pills throughout the first floor.
• Ye Han rebuilt the Hundred Treasures Formation and replenished the Purple Cauldron Space while preparing to face the enemies waiting outside, especially the Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member with the Painted Sky Halberd.
• Ye Han spent more than a month preparing and found no pills matching the one in the High Lord Pill Furnace, while the third floor remained stripped of its treasures.
• Ye Han decided to wait for the fruit growing on the Purple Cauldron’s vine to ripen, and after more than three months, the day arrived.

Ye Han used the ripened Golden Fruit to strengthen and purify the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel. After the weapon absorbed the fruit, Ye Han prepared to leave the Myriad Treasures Pill Room and opened a hole through the first-layer restriction with the Golden Token.

• The Golden Fruit ripened, and Ye Han sent it to wrap around the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel.
• The fruit dissolved into the weapon, which expelled its impurities and gained greater resilience, power, and a stronger aura.
• After three days, the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel finished absorbing the fruit, and Ye Han sensed its power had increased substantially.
• Ye Han decided to leave the Myriad Treasures Pill Room because further major progress would require centuries of cultivation and the Three Heavens held too many uncertainties.
• Ye Han used the Golden Token to open a hole through the restriction at the first-layer entrance.

Ye Han emerged from the Hundred-Treasure Pharmacy and attacked the Great Guandao-wielding Spell-Cultivator Divine Race member before the gathered enemies could fully respond. After dodging an archer’s surprise attack, Ye Han caught up with the wounded warrior and trapped him in a spatial vortex, leaving his fate unresolved.

• Hundreds of Spell-Cultivator Divine Race and Guardian Divine Race members broke free of their petrification seals as Ye Han charged out of the Hundred-Treasure Pharmacy.
• Ye Han struck the Great Guandao wielder with the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel, blasting him into the surrounding fighters.
• The Great Guandao wielder counterattacked, but Ye Han evaded his storm of blade attacks and smashed him away again.
• A Spell-Cultivator Divine Race archer fired a blood-red arrow at Ye Han, who escaped it with the Light-Escape Technique.
• Ye Han pursued the Great Guandao wielder and engulfed him in a powerful purple spatial vortex as the warrior tried to counterattack.
