Chapter Summaries

Ye Han tried to pierce the Medicine Garden’s restriction with the Immortal-Slaying Saber, but his attack released nine Purple Metal Giant guardians. He fought them with the Twelve Qing Xuan Divine Swords and realized the small purple cauldron’s vibrations came from the giants, then faced their overwhelming formation attack.

• Ye Han sent the Immortal-Slaying Saber through the Light Barrier toward the Formation Pillar.
• Nine Purple Metal Giants emerged from the barrier and surrounded Ye Han in a nine palaces formation.
• Ye Han unleashed the Twelve Qing Xuan Divine Swords against the giants, but their defenses deflected every strike.
• Ye Han realized the small purple cauldron had disappeared and that its vibrations now came from the giants.
• The nine giants formed a massive attack that drew in the surrounding True Immortal Spiritual Energy and bore down on Ye Han.

Ye Han used the Immortal Thunder High Platform to summon immortal thunder and weaken the nine Purple Metal Giants and their Nine Palaces Formation. He captured one giant in the Purple Cauldron Space, but the remaining eight surrounded him and attacked.

• Ye Han used the Thunder Escape Technique three times to reach the Immortal Thunder High Platform as the Purple Metal Giants' formation struck the place where he had stood.
• Ye Han activated the Attracting Immortal Thunder Formation, drawing in the Medicine Garden's true immortal spiritual energy and summoning thunderclouds over the platform.
• The nine Purple Metal Giants charged onto the platform, but immortal thunder blasted apart their attacks and disrupted their synchronized formation.
• Ye Han used the Thunderclap Heaven-Breaking Hammers and a giant purple runic hand to defeat and capture one Purple Metal Giant in the Purple Cauldron Space.
• The remaining eight Purple Metal Giants lost the Nine Palaces Formation's strength, then surrounded Ye Han and unleashed a storm of weapon attacks.

Ye Han defeated the nine Purple Metal Giants by drawing them into his Purple Cauldron Space and using his formations, clones, and Ye Tianyu’s Purple Cauldron to absorb their purple aura. Ye Tianyu began breathing again, but a sudden medicinal fragrance and surge of true immortal spiritual energy from the Medicine Garden left Ye Han facing a new disturbance.

• Ye Han drew the Purple Metal Giants into the Purple Cauldron Space, where his clones, White Fairy, and the Myriad Treasures Formation fought them.
• Ye Tianyu’s Purple Cauldron absorbed the giants’ purple aura, growing stronger as the giants broke apart.
• Ye Han sealed the Immortal Thunder-Triggering Formation after using it alongside his other defenses to defeat all nine giants.
• Ye Han found that the Purple Small Cauldron had disappeared from the Formation Pillars, though the Restrictive Barrier remained intact.
• Ye Tianyu began breathing faintly inside the Water Spirit Coffin, prompting Ye Han to wonder whether the Purple Cauldron’s absorption had helped him.
• A powerful medicinal fragrance and a surge of true immortal spiritual energy came from the Medicine Garden, alarming Ye Han.

Ye Han raced to salvage the spirit medicines after the Medicine Garden’s barrier vanished, then spent three days planning how to face the Purple Metal Giants more efficiently. When he opened another garden, eleven sword-wielding giants emerged, and his ordinary formation triggered an immense upheaval throughout the Great Dream Immortal Palace.

• Ye Han, his clones, White Fairy, and his puppets recovered about a third of the withering spirit medicines and gathered the garden’s spirit soil into the Purple Cauldron Space.
• Ye Han delayed opening the remaining Formation Pillars so he could plan more carefully for the Purple Metal Giants and avoid revealing the Purple Cauldron to Bìtiān Divine Lord.
• After three days of preparation, Ye Han pierced another Medicine Garden’s Restrictive Barrier with the Immortal-Slaying Saber.
• Eleven Purple Metal Giants emerged in a powerful Sword Formation, and Ye Han set an ordinary formation of purple demon-breaking divine thunder around them instead of using the Immortal Thunder Platform.
• Ye Han’s move caused an immense upheaval throughout the Great Dream Immortal Palace.

A mysterious figure in the Heavenly God World discovered that the Great Dream Immortal Palace had been delayed and rushed into the Star Sea. Meanwhile, Ye Han stripped the Medicine Garden of its resources and strengthened his Purple Cauldron, while Immortal Zichuan struggled to comprehend the stone stele’s cultivation technique.

• A massive Flying Boat traveled through the Star Sea, slowing until it moved more slowly than the meteorites.
• A mysterious figure on a mountain in the Heavenly God World sensed that the Great Dream Immortal Palace had not arrived, roared that an unexpected turn had occurred, and sped into the Star Sea.
• Immortal Zichuan sat before the inscribed stone stele amid a devastated landscape, but could not comprehend the cultivation technique and grew increasingly frustrated.
• Ye Han examined the Nine-Revolution Spiritual Qi Pills his clone had refined after removing most of the Medicine Garden’s spirit medicine and spirit soil, reducing its true immortal spiritual energy to one percent.
• Ye Han’s Purple Cauldrons absorbed the purple aura from the Purple Metal Giants, gaining life-law power that improved Ye Tianyu’s condition and gave Ye Han a means to increase his lifespan.

Ye Han examined the Purple Cauldron’s new lifespan-granting ability and regretted that he had transplanted only a fraction of the Medicine Garden’s spirit medicine. He studied the garden’s Formation Pillars and worried that his harvesting had drained the spiritual energy powering the Great Dream Immortal Palace.

• The Purple Cauldron began adding half a day to Ye Han’s lifespan each day and gained an aura that could increase lifespan using pill aura.
• Ye Han realized he had transplanted only one-twentieth of the Medicine Garden’s spirit medicine because the rare plants were difficult to move and his space could not meet their growing requirements.
• Ye Han examined the Purple Small Cauldrons and Formation Pillars, suspecting the small cauldrons were imitations of his Purple Cauldron and that they were connected to the enormous Purple Metal Giant.
• Ye Han studied and copied the formation’s layout and runes after failing to move the pillars, which seemed fused with the Great Dream Immortal Palace.
• Ye Han noticed the pillars absorbing the garden’s dwindling true immortal spiritual energy and worried that removing spirit medicine and soil had endangered the entire palace.

Ye Han finished studying the medicine garden’s formations and returned to challenge the sealing beasts, only to find they had vanished. After exploring other parts of the Inner Palace and finding little of value, he headed toward the Bìtiān Divine Lord’s Spirit Mountain Land.

• Ye Han rejected exploring the True Immortal Palace alone and decided to study the medicine garden’s formations before returning to challenge the sealing beasts.
• Ye Han spent more than a month copying and studying the garden’s formations, then returned to the sealing beasts’ corridor and found all their statues gone.
• Ye Han suspected the Bìtiān Divine Lord had removed the sealing beasts and chose to explore other mapped locations before seeking him out.
• Ye Han spent nine days exploring accessible areas of the Inner Palace but found little, and realized the Bìtiān Divine Lord had already taken the valuable treasures.
• Ye Han set off along a rugged mountain path toward the Bìtiān Divine Lord’s Spirit Mountain Land.

Ye Han explored the True Immortal Palace and discovered a fragment of the Crescent Moon Flying Boat he had once recovered from the Tower of Hell. The discovery convinced him that people he cared about from the Earth Realm might be in danger, so he stored the fragment and hurried to find Bìtiān Divine Lord.

• Ye Han traveled through the spirit mountains, found a few treasures, and acquired the Divine Aperture Spirit Art.
• Ye Han discovered a huge crescent-shaped flying boat fragment embedded in a valley wall.
• Ye Han recognized the fragment by a crack from the Crescent Moon Flying Boat he had brought to the Azure Profound Sect.
• Ye Han drew the fragment into the Purple Cauldron Space and resolved to find the people aboard the vessel.
• Ye Han decided to reach Bìtiān Divine Lord quickly because dangerous changes were occurring throughout the Great Dream Immortal Palace.

Ye Han worried that the Great Dream Immortal Palace was running out of true immortal spiritual energy and might collapse, so he hurried to find Bìtiān Divine Lord. While searching the Spirit Mountain Land, he witnessed a Sea Shark Ancient Beast attacking a gray-lit figure before a Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow arrived.

• Ye Han concluded that the Great Dream Immortal Palace was draining the Spirit Mountain Land's true immortal spiritual energy and might collapse while traveling through the Boundless Star Sea.
• Ye Han decided to find Bìtiān Divine Lord quickly so they could respond to the danger and search for the people who had ascended from the Earth Realm.
• Ye Han searched the Spirit Mountain Land's core region but could not find the enormous building marked on Bìtiān Divine Lord's map.
• Tremors and roars led Ye Han to spot a Sea Shark Ancient Beast pursuing a nimble figure surrounded by gray spirit light.
• A Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow appeared and charged toward the battle, startling Ye Han because he recognized it as one of the Sealing Beasts.

Ye Han recognized the Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow and Sea Shark Ancient Beast as escaped Sealing Beasts attacking Bìtiān Divine Lord, who overwhelmed them with a powerful divine ability. Seeing a chance to help Bìtiān Divine Lord and obtain the Sparrow’s feathers, Ye Han charged into the fight as Bìtiān Divine Lord attacked the Sea Shark.

• Ye Han recognized the Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow and Sea Shark Ancient Beast as creatures that had escaped from the Sealing Beasts’ corridor.
• Ye Han sensed Bìtiān Divine Lord inside the gray spirit light and watched as the two beasts pursued him.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord formed two Divine Soul Giant Hands and blasted the Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow and Sea Shark Ancient Beast into the mountains.
• Ye Han noticed that the beasts’ auras remained intact, suggesting they had broken free of their seals.
• Ye Han summoned the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel and charged at the Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow, while Bìtiān Divine Lord struck at the Sea Shark Ancient Beast with a finger of gray light.

Ye Han and Bìtiān Divine Lord killed the weakened Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow and Sea Shark Ancient Beast, then discussed the changes in the Great Dream Immortal Palace. Bìtiān Divine Lord warned that released Divine Beasts could become a serious threat as they regained their strength, and Ye Han asked where they should go next.

• Bìtiān Divine Lord blasted the Sea Shark Ancient Beast with Finger of Spiritual Insight, while Ye Han crushed the Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow with the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel.
• Ye Han took the Three-Yellow Divine Sparrow's three feathers and told Bìtiān Divine Lord that the Medicine Garden's formations had collapsed and Metal Giants had forced him to flee.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord said he did not know exactly what had happened at the Medicine Garden and explained that depleted true immortal spiritual energy had broken the formations holding the Sealing Beasts.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord warned that the released Divine Beasts could grow dangerous if they devoured one another and recovered their cultivation.
• Ye Han asked Bìtiān Divine Lord where they should go next.

Ye Han traveled with the Bìtiān Divine Lord toward the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace, where the Divine Lord planned to help him break through to the Body Integration Realm. Elsewhere, a group of fugitives fled as two enormous beasts fought, while the Divine Lord warned Ye Han that escaped Sealing Beasts could become a major threat.

• Several figures hid beneath a towering structure as a black-mist Demon Beast rammed into it, then fled when it noticed them.
• A flame-wreathed beast appeared and chased the black-mist beast, leaving the fleeing figures to search for a safe hiding place.
• Ye Han asked the Bìtiān Divine Lord whether the passage was the only route to the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace.
• The Bìtiān Divine Lord told Ye Han that the Sealing Beasts had escaped and could become difficult to face once their strength returned.
• The Bìtiān Divine Lord revealed that he intended to help Ye Han attempt a breakthrough into the Body Integration Realm.

Ye Han traveled with Bìtiān Divine Lord toward the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace, where Bìtiān planned to recover his physical body and help Ye Han break through to the Body Integration Realm. As Ye Han asked about the previous cultivator and the Medicine Garden, Bìtiān questioned him about the enormous Purple Metal Giant, leaving Ye Han to wonder what Bìtiān knew.

• Bìtiān Divine Lord explained that the route they were taking was the only safe way to the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace and urged Ye Han to attempt a breakthrough at the Heaven-Forged Spirit Terrace.
• Ye Han doubted Bìtiān's claims but continued with him, knowing Bìtiān needed his physical body before the Great Dream Immortal Palace ran out of energy or collapsed.
• Ye Han told Bìtiān that he had entered the palace to rescue others but could not find them, then asked what had happened to the first cultivator to reach the Inner Palace.
• Bìtiān said the first cultivator had refused to cooperate and targeted the Medicine Garden, where its guardians had probably killed him.
• Bìtiān wondered whether that cultivator caused a recent change in the Medicine Garden and asked Ye Han what he had seen there.
• Ye Han reported that an enormous purple Metal Giant puppet had appeared and unleashed terrifying combat power before flying away.

Bìtiān Divine Lord warned Ye Han that a Great Dream Giant Divine Soldier had escaped and urged him to use the dangerous Dao-Defying Art to break through to the body integration realm before the Great Dream Immortal Palace collapsed. Ye Han obtained the secret method without committing to it, but studying it left him increasingly tempted to use it.

• Bìtiān Divine Lord identified the enemy as a Great Dream Giant Divine Soldier and warned Ye Han that he was no match for it.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord argued that Ye Han needed the Dao-Defying Art to improve his chances of breaking through and to protect them from danger in the Great Dream Immortal Palace.
• Ye Han refused to commit to a method that could damage his foundation and lifespan, but agreed to take the secret method in case he needed it.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord sent Ye Han a glowing orb containing the Dao-Defying Art and his insights into the secret method.
• As they continued walking, Ye Han studied the technique and began considering whether to use it for his breakthrough.

Ye Han decided to use the Heaven-Defying Dao secret method to break through to the Body Integration Realm, since the Purple Cauldron could offset its risks. After eighteen days of travel with Bìtiān Divine Lord, he reached the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace, where the breakthrough site and Bìtiān Divine Lord’s trapped body awaited.

• Ye Han determined that the Purple Cauldron could replenish the resources and physical losses required by the Heaven-Defying Dao secret method, so he chose to use it.
• Ye Han concealed the Purple Cauldron Space’s reserves and told Bìtiān Divine Lord he lacked pills and true immortal spiritual energy for the breakthrough.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord promised to provide what Ye Han needed, and Ye Han agreed to attempt the breakthrough.
• Ye Han collected spirit liquid from the cave passage as he and Bìtiān Divine Lord traveled through formations and hidden restrictions for eighteen days.
• Ye Han and Bìtiān Divine Lord reached the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace, where Ye Han’s breakthrough site was on the eight hundred and first tier and Bìtiān Divine Lord’s body was trapped on the nine hundred and ninety-ninth.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord told Ye Han to begin climbing without resting, warning him not to let his guard down.

Ye Han attempted to break through into the body integration realm in the Heaven-Opening Lotus’s spirit pool, but the rejection caused by his powerful body, divine souls, and eight spirit roots threatened to make him fail. With the pool’s spiritual energy dwindling and Bìtiān Divine Lord’s scheme leaving him no safe alternative, Ye Han poured more power into the attempt.

• Guided by Bìtiān Divine Lord, Ye Han cleared the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace’s trials, strengthening his divine souls and perfecting the Soul Suppression Divine Art.
• Ye Han began his breakthrough within the Heaven-Opening Lotus, using the true immortal spiritual energy and spirit medicines Bìtiān Divine Lord had provided.
• Ye Han’s body and divine souls resisted fusing because of his strength and eight spirit roots, leaving him in pain and under pressure from within.
• Ye Han realized the spirit pool could sustain his attempt for only another thirty to fifty years and suspected Bìtiān Divine Lord had deliberately trapped him.
• Ye Han drove the Purple Cauldron’s aura, true immortal spiritual energy, and stored spirit medicines into his body to continue the breakthrough.

Ye Han struggled to break through to the Body Integration Realm as his many spirit roots destabilized his cultivation. He used Dao Follows Nature and a strange Fire-Element Spirit Pearl to steady the breakthrough, and his body and divine soul began merging as the surrounding spiritual energy surged.

• Ye Han realized that the Heaven-Opening Lotus left him no chance to retry his breakthrough with other treasures, and suspected Bìtiān Divine Lord had trapped him.
• Ye Han’s spirit roots became chaotic again, threatening to rupture his body and destroy his divine soul.
• Ye Han used Dao Follows Nature to calm his mind and tried circulating only his fire-element spirit root.
• A strange Fire-Element Spirit Pearl flew out of Ye Han’s Space Ring and steadied his turbulent aura.
• Ye Han swallowed the pearl, and fire-element laws helped merge his body and divine soul as spiritual energy flooded into him.

Bìtiān Divine Lord sensed Ye Han nearing Body Integration and went to help him as the Heavenly Tribulation formed. Ye Han struck back against the blood-red lightning, and he wondered whether he had succeeded when a trace of aura appeared.

• Bìtiān Divine Lord sensed Ye Han was about to achieve Body Integration and decided to help him survive the Heavenly Tribulation.
• The Great Dream Immortal Palace was engulfed by expanding tribulation clouds as the Purple Metal Giant smashed into a rocky cavity and vowed revenge on Bìtiān Divine Lord.
• Immortal Zichuan fled two pursuing demon beasts while carrying the Sun Spirit Fruit he hoped would help him reach the Integrated Body Late Stage.
• Ye Han blocked a blood-red lightning bolt with the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel, sending it crashing into the vast demonlike face in the tribulation clouds.
• Ye Han saw a trace of aura shining through the lightning and wondered whether he had succeeded.

Ye Han survived the terrifying heavenly tribulation and successfully advanced to the Body Integration Realm, though the breakthrough left him injured, weakened, and down a thousand years of lifespan. As he began recovering, Bìtiān Divine Lord urged him to come out so they could continue onward.

• Ye Han fused his divine soul, Nascent Soul, body, and spirit roots as the Heavenly Dao’s spirit light entered him, completing his breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm.
• The tribulation clouds dispersed, and Ye Han’s injuries, vitality, and divine soul recovered somewhat, but the Heaven-Opening Lotus and much of the Spirit Altar’s immortal spiritual energy had been depleted.
• Ye Han realized the Heaven-Defying Dao Secret Method had cost him a thousand years of lifespan and left his cultivation and strength below their ideal state.
• Ye Han swallowed pills and used the Purple Cauldron to restore his spell power, cultivation, body, and divine soul as his tribulation treasures returned to him.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord called to Ye Han, asked whether his breakthrough had succeeded, and told him to come out so they could keep moving.

Ye Han cleared the nine hundred and sixty-seventh tier of the Thousand-Tier Spirit Terrace and argued with Bìtiān Divine Lord over the rushed challenge. Bìtiān Divine Lord urged him onward because the Great Dream Immortal Palace’s failing restrictions threatened his physical body on the nine hundred and ninety-ninth tier.

• Two enormous divine beasts fought across the Ancient Times God Tomb, forcing a concealed figure and several people near restriction formations to flee.
• Ye Han defeated the immortal crane trial on the nine hundred and sixty-seventh tier and absorbed its spirit light.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord criticized Ye Han for taking so long, and Ye Han reminded him that he had only recently broken through to the Body Integration Realm.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord explained that Ye Han’s tribulation had damaged the Great Dream Immortal Palace’s restrictions and that the palace lacked the energy to repair them.
• Bìtiān Divine Lord pressed Ye Han to clear the tiers quickly so he could rescue Bìtiān Divine Lord’s physical body before the palace collapsed and cast it into the Boundless Star Sea.
