Chapter Summaries

Ye Han and his companions killed the Bloodthirsty Immortal Insect King, and the Feifei Insect devoured its corpse, though Ye Han feared the creature might eventually escape his control. With Saint As still guiding them toward his trapped physical body, Ye Han entered the insect lair to search for Bloodthirsty Immortal Insect eggs.

• A snow-white, long-tailed creature appeared above the valley, blinded Ye Han and the others with a flash of light, then vanished into the mountain.

• Saint As led Ye Han and the others away to avoid confronting the creature before they knew its abilities.
• The white-flamed creature appeared overhead with a black rod and unleashed countless Staff Shadows that devastated the surrounding land.
• The creature found no sign of Ye Han or his companions after the attack and began forming hand seals to pursue them.

• Saint As, Ye Han, the Nethergod Devil Lord, and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member watched the white-flame figure through Ye Han’s hidden Formation Beads.

• Saint As offered Ye Han the Tyrant God Golden Spear as payment, but Ye Han warned that the treasure would be useless if he died.

• The white-flame figure pursued Ye Han and smashed what appeared to be him into a cloud of blood mist, then realized it had hit a fake.
• Metal puppets formed a massive sword formation and bombarded the white-flame figure, which crushed their attacks with staff shadows from its Rod Treasure.

• Ye Han described his losses from testing the White-Flame Figure, including his injured puppets, destroyed metal puppets, and depleted supplies.
• Ye Han reported that the White-Flame Figure wielded a pitch-black Rod Treasure and possessed fire, light, law, and especially dangerous chaos power.

• Ye Han used the immortal vine to draw in immortal qi so everyone could recover and cultivate while preparing to fight the White-Flame Figure.

• A hundred years later, Ye Han, Saint As, the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race, and the Nethergod Devil Lord gathered before a gray light barrier after greatly improving their cultivation.
• Saint As released the talismans, and the White-Flame Figure's divine soul power enveloped the group as it began to arrive.

The White-Flame Figure attacked Ye Han and the others with a gravity-based staff matrix, but Ye Han broke free with Ninefold Lightness and countered with his Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel. After his attack shattered much of the matrix, the White-Flame Figure revealed his scaled, metallic body and charged at Ye Han with his enlarged rod.

• The White-Flame Figure summoned the Pitch-Black Rod Treasure and unleashed a vast staff matrix that crushed the ground and pinned Ye Han’s allies beneath immense pressure.

The White-Flame Figure survived the strike and fled toward a formation-covered mountain range as Ye Han called for the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member to pursue him.

• Ye Han lured the White-Flame Figure into the Heavenly Gang Forbidden Art Formation, where four metal statues sealed his powers with chains and hand seals.
• The White-Flame Figure fought back with the Pitch-Black Rod Treasure, but golden demonic qi vortexes absorbed the force of his attacks.

• Ye Han used gray spatial runes to return the White-Flame Figure to the formation, where the curse runes and seals restrained him.
• Ye Han struck the White-Flame Figure with the Tyrant God Golden Spear, but the White-Flame Figure escaped the blast and fled toward the distant mountains.

Saint As, Ye Han, the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member, and the Nethergod Devil Lord killed the White-Flame Figure after carrying out a plan prepared over a hundred years. Ye Han recovered the Immortal Palace Pillar, but before Saint As could explain why it could not be used inside the Immortal Palace, a sudden rumble and surge of immortal qi interrupted them.

• The Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member shifted the White-Flame Figure into range of Saint As's sword attack, and Saint As annihilated it.
• Ye Han, Saint As, the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member, and the Nethergod Devil Lord's long-planned use of the formation and their abilities had trapped and weakened the Artifact Spirit enough to kill it.
• Ye Han retrieved the pitch-black Immortal Palace Pillar and struggled to carry it because of its immense weight.
• Saint As identified the treasure as the Immortal Palace Pillar and told Ye Han to put it away because they could not use it inside the Immortal Palace.
• A sudden rumble shook the area as ripples of agitated immortal qi surged across the distant sky.

After defeating the Immortal Treasure’s artifact spirit, Ye Han and the others learned that a dangerous foe might have escaped and received Teleportation Tokens from Saint As as a way out. As the group headed toward a Fortuitous Opportunity Site, someone questioned whether Saint As’s tokens would truly let them escape.

• Saint As sensed that the enemy who had once fought him for the True Immortal’s fortuitous opportunity might have escaped, but assured the others that the True Immortal remained asleep.
• Ye Han urged the group to prepare an escape route, and Saint As handed out Golden Teleportation Tokens that required them to find Immortal Palace Teleportation Arrays.
• A spectacular ring of starlight appeared beyond the mountains, and Saint As said the group should reach the Fortuitous Opportunity Site before their foe.
• Saint As explained that the Immortal Palace pillar was difficult to store, and Ye Han used the Ghost Skull Mirror to draw it inside.
• As the others followed Saint As toward the artifact spirit’s formation pillars and Light Barrier, someone warned Ye Han not to trust that Saint As’s tokens would take them out.

Ye Han learned from the Immortal-Thief Outsider that Saint As’s Teleportation Tokens led into a deadly place rather than out of the Immortal Palace, and agreed to cooperate with him and the Nethergod Devil Lord to escape. Saint As led them through the ruined mountain ranges to a formation gate marked with a Woman Statue.

• The Immortal-Thief Outsider warned Ye Han that Saint As’s Teleportation Tokens would take them into a dangerous place with no way out.

• Saint As led Ye Han and the others through the mountain range where the White-Flame Figure had been, navigating its formation restrictions.
• More than ten days later, they reached a vast formation gate bearing the face of a Woman Statue, another Binglian Puppet.

Saint As opened the entrance to the True Immortal’s resting place by using six Binglian statues to activate the giant statue embedded in the cliff. As the statue’s eyes and mouth opened, Saint As warned Ye Han to get ready to enter.

• Saint As told Ye Han and the others that the resting place was dangerous but contained a Teleportation Array they could use to leave.
• Ye Han and the others agreed to enter, while Ye Han privately decided to protect his own life and eyed the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race member with suspicion.
• Saint As summoned six Binglian statues and activated them with an incantation, making them join into a giant ring.
• The ring struck the giant statue’s face until its eyes opened and formed a spatial matrix, then its mouth began to open.
• Saint As told Ye Han to get ready to go.

Saint As and the Nethergod Devil Lord entered the Binglian statue’s Spatial Gate to pursue a chance at immortality, while Ye Han chose to trust the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race and avoid the route he considered far more dangerous. Ye Han and the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race set off toward a different exit and its lesser opportunities.

• Saint As entered the Spatial Gate after warning everyone that they were on their own.
• The Nethergod Devil Lord rejected the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race’s advice, entered the gate, and asked Ye Han to honor his promise to help his mother if he failed to return.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider Race declined to enter the gate and offered to take Ye Han toward another exit near a distant mountain peak.
• Ye Han chose to trust the Immortal-Thief Outsider Race, judging the other route too dangerous and believing he would have more control by leaving with Old Thief.
• The Immortal-Thief Outsider Race warned that the mountain route was dangerous but offered other chances to advance, and he and Ye Han set off together.

Nethergod Devil Lord entered the metal passage and followed Saint As, deciding to pursue the chance to become an immortal despite Ye Han’s absence. As the two advanced, Saint As privately reflected on his plans, and the passage’s guardian immortal soldiers began to approach.

• Nethergod Devil Lord arrived in the chamber and sensed that its abundant immortal qi was unusable because it held a terrifying immortal’s will.
• Saint As lamented Ye Han’s absence and continued down the passage, while Nethergod Devil Lord wondered whether Ye Han had noticed a problem with Saint As.
• Nethergod Devil Lord reaffirmed his decision to seize the opportunity and followed Saint As with renewed resolve.
• Saint As thought that Nethergod Devil Lord could serve as his alternative to Ye Han and continued forward without hesitation.
