Chapter Summaries

Saint As persuaded Ye Han and the others to avoid fighting over treasures and let the Star Clan cultivators weaken one another before they moved in. As the group concealed themselves and traveled through the Medicine Garden, they witnessed a Mahayana Stage Star Clan cultivator attack a woman who pleaded for mercy, claiming she was from the Heavenly Star Lineage.

• Saint As warned that the treasures were not worth the risk of fighting Star Clan cultivators, especially possible Mahayana Stage opponents, and proposed waiting to intercept survivors later.
• Ye Han agreed with Saint As, and the Nethergod Devil Lord and Heavenly Profound Star King reluctantly accepted his plan while remaining wary of him.
• Saint As and the others concealed their forms and auras and followed him deeper into the valleys of the Medicine Garden.
• The group sensed a Mahayana Stage Star Clan cultivator unleash a vast storm of stellar sword-rays, and they kept their distance as Saint As led them into a forest.
• A tall Star Clan woman was battered by the sword-rays and begged her attacker to spare her, claiming she was from the Heavenly Star Lineage, but the attacker ordered her death.

Ye Han and his allies destroyed a giant centipede Stars Battle Puppet in the Star Palace and divided the treasures it held. Ye Han obtained two purple jade slips that stirred the Purple Cauldron, and he wondered whether they could undo its seal.

• Old Ghost Icicle stole a defeated cultivator’s divine soul and nascent soul from Ugly Star Granny, then escaped as she pursued him through the Star Palace.
• Ye Han, Saint As, the Nethergod Devil Lord, the Heavenly Profound Star King, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race restrained a giant centipede Stars Battle Puppet while Ye Han smashed it apart with his cudgel.

• Saint As had the group recover after the battle while he watched for Star Clan cultivators entering the passages alone.
• Ye Han examined the jade slips, which contained Stars Swordsmanship and the Eight-Gate Heaven-Opening Staff, and wondered whether they could break the Purple Cauldron’s seal.

Ye Han cautiously used the Purple Cauldron to absorb the Starfire Scorching Divine Art, hoping to loosen its seal without triggering its backlash. The technique merged with the Ancient Human Race Inheritance and was instantly comprehended, leaving Ye Han wondering whether the cauldron could do the same with other techniques.

• Ye Han considered the dangers of the Star Palace’s second half and weighed the risks of trying to undo more of the Purple Cauldron’s seal.
• After comparing the Purple Cauldron’s reactions to six Jade Slips, Ye Han chose the one containing the Starfire Scorching Divine Art, which drew the weakest reaction.
• Ye Han prepared for the possibility of the cauldron turning against him by placing one divine soul inside it and keeping his other divine soul in his true form.
• The Purple Cauldron absorbed the Jade Slip, and its characters merged with Ye Han’s Ancient Human Race Inheritance.
• Ye Han instantly comprehended and cultivated the Starfire Scorching Divine Art, then wondered if the Purple Cauldron could similarly unlock other techniques.

Ye Han discovered that the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s partially released seal improved his ability to comprehend techniques, though its backlash was growing. As he prepared to absorb more Purple Jade Slips, the Nethergod Devil Lord approached him to request help with a thunder-attribute spell, and his promised compensation made Ye Han reconsider.

• Ye Han tested the Purple Cauldron’s new comprehension ability and found that it accelerated his study of techniques, though it only absorbed those contained in Purple Jade Slips.

• Ye Han struck the Nethergod Devil Lord’s demonic beast phantom with demon-breaking divine thunder from the Thunderous Heaven-Shaking Trident.
• The Nethergod Devil Lord said he expected to succeed after two or three more sessions, while Ye Han agreed to help again.
• After Ye Han left, the Nethergod Devil Lord said Ye Han had likely killed Bao Tian and possessed demon-breaking divine thunder, then brought out a crystal-clear bottle.
• Ye Han refined the Jade Slip containing the Stars Sword Formation, awakening its sword intent laws and star sword qi.
• Ye Han realized he could refine only three Jade Slips because the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s backlash had reached his limit.

Ugly Star Granny robbed two Star Clan cultivators in the Star Palace and left them with only their life-bound treasures. The pair then fell into Ye Han and his companions’ formation trap, prompting the group to retreat after realizing a powerful Mahayana cultivator was nearby.

• Ye Han and Saint As urged the group to leave because the pair had likely been robbed by a powerful Mahayana cultivator nearby.

Ye Han and the others escaped Ugly Star Granny by using Saint As's Shrouding Heaven Mist, then traveled to the Ten Thousand Tower Starland to seek a key treasure for entering the latter half of the Star Palace.

• Ye Han and the others attacked Icicles Old Fiend as blood-red lightning struck, but he froze the lightning and surrounding area before escaping into the void.
• The attackers failed to kill Icicles Old Fiend, and Ye Han and the others were astonished that Saint As could wield an Innate Spirit Treasure.

• Icicles Old Fiend cursed the outsiders after realizing Ye Han had returned, then decided to notify the others and summoned a star-ring treasure.

Ugly Star Granny and the other Star Clan cultivators received Old Ghost Icicles’ warning that outsiders had entered the Star Palace, and many headed for the dangerous Ten Thousand Tower Starland. Meanwhile, Ye Han restored and expanded the energy in his Purple Cauldron Space, then considered refining another cultivation technique.

Ye Han absorbed the Star-Planting Art with the Purple Cauldron, hoping its star-planting state would speed his cultivation and improve his understanding of laws. The cauldron’s backlash nearly overwhelmed him, but the ancient human race inheritance helped him withstand it and weaken the seal before the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron counterattacked again.

• Ye Han decided to absorb the Star-Planting Art despite the Purple Cauldron’s dangerous backlash, believing its benefits would aid his cultivation.

• Ye Han planted himself inside an immortal-vine cocoon, combining the Star-Planting Art, the Everlasting Immortal Flower Art, and the Qing Xuan Divine Palace to withstand the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s backlash.
• Ye Han suppressed successive backlash attacks, strengthening his defenses and accelerating his cultivation, though he remained wary of the cauldron’s seemingly deliberate strikes.
• Saint As and the others waited as Star Clan Cultivators and Star Beasts hid and recovered after earlier battles, leaving the area quiet for more than ten years.
• Another dozen or so years passed, and Ye Han’s immortal vine began to bear fruit as it absorbed spiritual energy through the Star-Planting Art.
• Saint As contacted Ye Han through a communication token and said it was time for them to strike.

Ye Han and his allies killed the Star Clan Cultivators who had slain two Mahayana Stage Ancient Beasts, then fled as another Mahayana Stage enemy approached.

• Saint As examined Ye Han’s stone and exclaimed that something was wrong with it.

Ye Han discovered that the Immortal Star Stone taken from a Star Clan Cultivator was intact but bound by restrictions, and the group divided the spoils after agreeing to let him choose first. He claimed two Mahayana Stage Ancient Beast corpses to help the Feifei Insect recover, then prepared to use his physical strength and star power to open the Secret Passage.

• Saint As examined the Immortal Star Stone and explained that it was intact but covered by Star Clan restrictions that would take time to break.
• Ye Han asked to choose first from the spoils, and the group agreed after he requested the two Mahayana Stage Ancient Beast corpses and one share of the other treasures.
