Chapter Summaries

A hidden enemy attacked Ye Han and the Glacier Immortal Emperor with a colossal golden cauldron that sealed their powers, but Ye Han’s prepared teleportation array carried them to safety. As the enemy prepared to strike again, Ye Han urged the exhausted Glacier Immortal Emperor to enter his Space Ring, leaving her to decide whether to trust him with her life.

• A colossal golden cauldron ambushed Ye Han and the Glacier Immortal Emperor, sealing their spell power, strength, treasures, and abilities.
• Ye Han’s prearranged teleportation array activated and transported them tens of thousands of li away before the cauldron could capture them.
• Ye Han and the Glacier Immortal Emperor saw the cauldron’s attack devastate the area where they had been, and Ye Han sensed their enemy was preparing another strike.
• Ye Han told the exhausted Glacier Immortal Emperor to enter his Space Ring so he could carry her away from the danger.

Ye Han fled a true immortal cultivator who attacked him with the Heaven-Trapping Divine Cauldron and Golden Light Sword Rays. Unable to escape the land, he found another entrance to a Mysterious Secret Realm ahead.

• The Glacier Immortal Emperor entered Ye Han's Space Ring, and Ye Han used his last Teleportation Array to escape the Heaven-Trapping Divine Cauldron's sealing attack.
• Ye Han unleashed the Thunder Escape Technique repeatedly as a golden-haired young cultivator tracked him with Divine Soul Locking and pursued him through spatial rifts.
• The young cultivator attacked Ye Han with Golden Light Sword Rays, but Ye Han stayed ahead of the barrage.
• Ye Han discovered he could not leave the land for the Boundless Star Sea and feared his pursuer would eventually catch him.
• A huge ring-shaped Metal Gate appeared ahead, revealing another entrance to a Mysterious Secret Realm.

Ye Han used a Treasure Pagoda Suppression Talisman to buy time and opened a passage through the Mysterious Secret Realm's Metal Gate with one of his Secret Keys. The young cultivator pursuing him caught up and struck at him as the gate's spatial power enveloped him, leaving Ye Han in danger from the Golden Light Sword Ray.

• Ye Han summoned a colossal golden tower with his Treasure Pagoda Suppression Talisman to block the young cultivator's Golden Light Sword Ray.
• Ye Han reached the Metal Gate and used a Secret Key that opened one of its recesses.
• The Metal Gate surrounded Ye Han with five-colored spatial light as the young cultivator realized he was escaping.
• The young cultivator appeared above the gate and sent another Golden Light Sword Ray at Ye Han.
• The sword ray split the golden Treasure Pagoda, passed through the Metal Gate, and continued toward Ye Han.

Ye Han escaped the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor through the Heaven-Sealing Gate, whose power protected him from the pursuing attack. He arrived in a damp cavern rich with spiritual energy, where his divine sense was heavily suppressed and spirit liquid flowed in a particular direction.

• The Heaven-Sealing Gate's power let the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor's sword ray pass through Ye Han without harming him, and it teleported Ye Han away.
• Ye Han taunted the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor before disappearing, and the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor vowed they would meet again and sent a Secret Key toward another keyhole.
• The Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor entered the Heaven-Sealing Gate, though he felt uneasy about the danger ahead.
• Ye Han arrived in a damp cavern, absorbed a drop of spirit liquid that restored some of his strength, and sensed that the cavern suppressed divine sense.
• Ye Han noticed that the spirit liquid flowed in a particular direction.

Ye Han discovered a vast pool of rare chaos spirit liquid in the Mysterious Secret Realm, a treasure that could help restore his cultivation and divine abilities. He suspected danger awaited him at the pool and knew he might encounter the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor again before leaving the realm.

• Ye Han followed streams of chaos spirit liquid through an underground cavern and found an enormous spirit pool.
• Ye Han recognized the liquid as a rare treasure from primordial star realms that could greatly accelerate growth and cultivation.
• Ye Han hoped the chaos spirit liquid, together with his Starry Sky Immortal Stone, would help heal his injuries and restore his strength.
• Ye Han judged that the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor was probably a pseudo-True Immortal, though confronting him while weakened remained dangerous.
• Ye Han realized that the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor was still in the Mysterious Secret Realm and might cross his path again.
• Ye Han sensed that claiming the chaos spirit liquid would not be easy because danger lurked near the pool.

Ye Han discovered a dangerous chaos spirit pool and withdrew without investigating it, then prepared a fortified cavern where he could cultivate and help the Glacier Immortal Emperor recover. After they practiced dual cultivation, he presented her with something she had wanted.

• Ye Han sensed danger in the chaos spirit pool, retreated from the cavern, and saw ice-blue pupils briefly appear in the liquid.
• Ye Han expanded and fortified a cavern with formations, defensive treasures, and concealed Teleportation Arrays.
• Ye Han summoned the Glacier Immortal Emperor, explained that they were still in the Mysterious Secret Realm, and proposed using the area to recover.
• Ye Han and the Glacier Immortal Emperor practiced dual cultivation, and she thanked him afterward.
• Ye Han released a dazzling blue aura from his Storage Bag and asked the Glacier Immortal Emperor, “This is what you wanted, right?”

Ye Han and Glacier Immortal Emperor discussed their situation, recovered through cultivation, and sorted the spoils from their recent battles. Ye Han found that he had collected sixteen secret keys, leaving him concerned about the Mysterious Secret Realm’s scale and its possible true immortals, while the Starry Sky Immortal Stone remained their most urgent concern.

• Ye Han gave Glacier Immortal Emperor the Supreme Immortal Treasure saber and discussed the chaos spiritual energy, the realm’s possible treasures, and Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor’s pseudo-true immortal cultivation.
• Ye Han and Glacier Immortal Emperor cultivated together and absorbed chaos spirit liquid, improving their injuries and cultivation; Glacier Immortal Emperor then entered seclusion to contemplate the undying dao heart.
• Ye Han sorted the spoils, stored useful pills, and placed unwanted treasures into the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space to strengthen its Myriad Treasures Formations.
• Ye Han counted sixteen secret keys and realized they suggested many entrances to the Mysterious Secret Realm, which might contain genuine true immortals as well as pseudo-true immortals.
• Ye Han concluded that dealing with the Starry Sky Immortal Stone was still the most important task.

Ye Han considered how to use the Starry Sky Immortal Stone to restore his injuries, strengthen the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, and aid his recovery. He realized that moving the stone into the cauldron or its inner space required exposing the cauldron to the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Pupils, while placing it directly inside the cauldron posed another problem.

• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron absorbed stellar immortal qi from the Starry Sky Immortal Stone, recovering its power and beginning to heal Ye Han's old injuries.
• Ye Han concluded that the stone's power could eventually restore his cultivation and help him face the Sword Spirit Immortal Emperor, while his threat was also meant to undermine his opponent's confidence.
• Ye Han weighed placing the stone in the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron or its inner space, which would respectively strengthen the cauldron or benefit the space and its inhabitants.
• Ye Han realized that moving the stone into the inner space required taking the cauldron out of the Purple-Gold Gourd, potentially exposing it to the pursuing Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Pupils.
• Ye Han recognized that placing the Starry Sky Immortal Stone directly inside the cauldron also had a serious drawback.

Ye Han decided to let the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron grow stronger and used it to absorb the Starry Sky Immortal Stone. With its power aiding the Purple-Gold Gourd and his injuries healing, he chose to recover before risking a raid on the Chaos Spirit Pool.

• Ye Han dismissed his fear of the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron's backlash and resolved to prepare ways to control it instead of preventing it from growing stronger.
• Ye Han used the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron and his demon-breaking divine thunder to draw the Starry Sky Immortal Stone into the cauldron over several days.
• Ye Han discovered that the Starry Sky Immortal Stone's power had accelerated his refinement of the Purple-Gold Gourd, which could also help suppress the cauldron's backlash.
• Ye Han used primordial chaos spirit liquid to heal, but judged that recovering with his limited supply would take a long time.
• Ye Han decided to postpone approaching the dangerous Chaos Spirit Pool until his cultivation and divine abilities had recovered further.

Night Spirit Immortal Emperor searched for Ye Han at the vanished entrance to the Mysterious Secret Realm and learned that Ye Han had already entered. Immortal Emperor Baling offered him another way in and asked him to join the search.

• Night Spirit Immortal Emperor realized Ye Han had entered the Mysterious Secret Realm and could no longer be tracked.
• Immortal Emperor Baling appeared and said a member of his lineage had fallen nearby, though he was also interested in the realm’s treasures.
• Immortal Emperor Baling told Night Spirit Immortal Emperor that the entrance had vanished and would not reopen for tens of thousands of years.
• Night Spirit Immortal Emperor worried that Ye Han could use the realm and the Reincarnation Mystic Treasure to become a True Immortal.
• Immortal Emperor Baling revealed that another entrance might exist and asked Night Spirit Immortal Emperor to accompany him.

The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor agreed to accompany the Bulling Immortal Emperor to the Mysterious Secret Realm, hoping to find a way to survive the coming Heavenly Dao Cycle and deal with Ye Han. Meanwhile, Ye Han successfully triggered a surge of star spell power and spirit light.

• The Bulling Immortal Emperor offered to take the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor to the Mysterious Secret Realm through an entrance in the dangerous Extinct Star Sea, claiming the Immortal Race had a star spirit to guide them.
• The Night Spirit Immortal Emperor questioned the Bulling Immortal Emperor’s motives but agreed to go, believing the realm could help him survive the Heavenly Dao Cycle and find Ye Han and the Reincarnation Mystic Treasure.
• The Bulling Immortal Emperor and the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor set off together, and the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor identified Ye Han as the cultivator who had killed one of the Bulling Immortal Emperor’s clansmen.
• Ye Han unleashed powerful star spell energy and spirit light from his body and exclaimed that it had worked.

After more than three hundred years of secluded cultivation, Ye Han healed his injuries, perfected the Stars Art, and began cultivating the Ten Thousand Stars Return to Origin Art. The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s star-power conversion accelerated his cultivation and treasure refinement, but Ye Han recognized that its power still had limits.

• Ye Han recovered from his injuries with chaos spirit liquid and two True Immortal-grade Spirit Elixirs taken from Immortal Emperor Balin’s Storage Bag.
• Ye Han perfected the Stars Art and obtained the Ten Thousand Stars Return to Origin Art from the Divine Race Cultivator’s spoils.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron absorbed less than a third of the Starry Sky Immortal Stone’s power, regained its peak strength, and no longer threatened to outgrow Ye Han and turn against him.
• Ye Han used the stone’s power to refine more than thirty percent of the Purple-Gold Gourd in just over three hundred years.
• Ye Han realized the Starry Sky Immortal Stone’s power was finite, though the cauldron’s ability to convert other resources into starry sky immortal qi offered a possible way to continue refining treasures and cultivating.

After fully recovering, Ye Han weighed his need for resources against the dangers in the Mysterious Secret Realm and decided to investigate the Chaos Spirit Pool. Five days later, he watched the pool from hiding and still sensed a threat.

• Ye Han reflected that his recovery had relied on Immortal Pills from Immortal Emperor Ba Ling and the cavern’s chaos spirit liquid, while the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron still required vast resources to fuel his powers and treasures.
• Ye Han concluded that Night Spirit Immortal Emperor could enter the Mysterious Secret Realm and pursue him for the Reincarnation Ring, increasing his urgency to grow stronger.
• Ye Han decided that the Chaos Spirit Pool’s accumulated spirit liquid might solve his resource shortage and restore chaos power to his Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space.
• Ye Han held back from approaching the pool until his cultivation and spell power had recovered, then spent time preparing to investigate it.
• Five days later, Ye Han hid beside the Chaos Spirit Pool and continued to sense danger within it.

Ye Han discovered signs that someone had secretly tested the Chaos Spirit Pool and feared that the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor might arrive before he was strong enough to protect himself. He prepared defenses, then approached the pool, where a mysterious being restrained him and began pulling him in.

• Ye Han found a new sword mark on a distant wall and realized a powerful cultivator had evaded his monitoring measures and approached the Chaos Spirit Pool.
• Ye Han worried that the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor would enter the Mysterious Secret Realm and use his mark on Ye Han’s divine soul to hunt him down.
• Ye Han set up Teleportation Arrays and defensive and escape measures, then equipped his strengthened Stars Demonic Armor.
• Ye Han charged toward the Chaos Spirit Pool, causing it to churn into a vast vortex as a pair of narrow-pupiled eyes appeared within it.
• A powerful chaos restraint stopped Ye Han from fully mobilizing his abilities and began pulling him toward the vortex, but he chose not to resist.

Ye Han was dragged into the Chaos Spirit Pool, where he endured attacks from its tentacles before a spatial vortex carried him to a hidden prison. There he confronted a chained red-furred monkey, and both found their cultivation and spell power sealed by the prison’s restraints.

• Ye Han fell into the Chaos Spirit Pool, where his Stars Demonic Armor absorbed chaos spirit liquid while shielding him from the pool’s tentacles.
• A spatial vortex swept Ye Han into a vast chamber filled with rune-covered chains and bronze pillars.
• Ye Han saw a red-furred, three-eyed monkey chained to a pillar near the remains of cultivators and demon beast deities.
• The monkey mocked Ye Han and revealed a suffocating demonic aura as Ye Han challenged him.
• Ye Han realized the chains and pillars had sealed both their cultivation and spell power, then charged toward the pillar relying on his physical strength.

Ye Han fought the red-furred monkey, whose chains and bronze pillars used the prison’s restraining power to attack him. Ye Han countered with his Vajra Body and Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel, then realized the monkey had tricked him when his strikes cracked the pillars.

• Ye Han bombarded the red-furred monkey, but chains formed a barrier that blocked his attacks.
• The red-furred monkey sent chains bursting from the ground, forcing Ye Han to dodge as they shattered his Gang Qi afterimages.
• The red-furred monkey made the bronze pillars attack Ye Han, dragging him toward them with their restraining power.
• Ye Han summoned the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel, activated his Vajra Body, and used staff techniques to repel the chains and pillars.
• Ye Han cracked the bronze pillars with his cudgel and realized the red-furred monkey had tricked him.

Ye Han realized the red-furred monkey had tricked him into smashing the pillars and chains that restrained them, but the destruction also restored Ye Han’s strength. The two fought with their cudgels as the sealed space collapsed, and the red-furred monkey opened his third eye to unleash the power of his undying dao heart.

• Ye Han’s cudgel broke a Bronze Pillar, weakening the formation and freeing the red-furred monkey from his chains.
• The red-furred monkey grabbed the enormous Metal Pillar as a cudgel and attacked Ye Han, who revealed that his strength had returned with the formation’s collapse.
• Ye Han and the red-furred monkey exchanged powerful staff strikes that tore apart the Mysterious Sealed Space and sent chaos spirit liquid pouring through its cracks.
• Ye Han’s attacks drove the red-furred monkey backward, startling him with Ye Han’s strength.
• The red-furred monkey opened his third eye and unleashed divine soul laws, hoping the power of his undying dao heart would overcome Ye Han.

Ye Han overpowered the red-furred monkey in the Chaos Spirit Pool, but stopped short of a fight to the death and proposed cooperation. The monkey remained wary as Ye Han demanded the pool’s chaos spirit liquid as proof of sincerity.

• Ye Han countered the red-furred monkey’s undying Dao heart with his own stronger divine soul power and struck with the Thunderous Five-Star Golden Cudgel.
• The red-furred monkey tried to escape through the chaos spirit liquid, but Ye Han hit him with the Phoenix Divine Lamp and the Golden-Light Bone Dragon.
• The cornered red-furred monkey summoned a blood-red spirit pearl and prepared to fight to the death.
• Ye Han asked the red-furred monkey to cooperate, and the monkey halted his attack but questioned whether Ye Han was sincere.
• Ye Han asked the red-furred monkey to hand over the Chaos Spirit Pool’s liquid, and the monkey objected that it would not be easy to collect.

Ye Han refused to share the chaos spirit liquid with the red-furred monkey, then began absorbing it while chaos spirits attacked. He left the monkey watching as he tried to take the entire Chaos Spirit Pool into the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space.

• Ye Han rejected the red-furred monkey's demand for a share and threatened to resume their fight if he disagreed.
• Ye Han baited the red-furred monkey into revealing that he had been imprisoned over something he believed was rightfully his, then explained that he had allowed the restriction to break because he believed he could control him.
• The red-furred monkey agreed to let Ye Han take the chaos spirit liquid but refused to help him deal with the Chaos Spirit Pool.
• The restriction collapsed, and chaos spirit liquid surged into the space alongside powerful octopus-like chaos spirits.
• Ye Han activated the Stars Demonic Armor and used the Purple-Gold Gourd and Heaven-Devouring Cauldron to absorb the chaos spirit liquid, but trouble arose.

Ye Han stabilized his Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space by storing the chaos spirit liquid in containers, preserving its potential to transform the realm. As he fought the regenerating Eight-Tentacled Chaos Spirits in the pool, the red-furred monkey offered help in exchange for Ye Han's demon-breaking divine thunder.

• Chaos spirit liquid destabilized Ye Han's Heaven-Devouring Cauldron Space, but his formations reinforced its boundary and spatial treasures collected the liquid in separate containers.
• Ye Han chose not to convert the chaos spirit liquid into ordinary spiritual energy, hoping it would transform his space and help its treasures evolve.
• Ye Han attacked the Eight-Tentacled Chaos Spirits with his Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel and demon-breaking divine thunder, but they kept regenerating by absorbing chaos immortal qi.
• The red-furred monkey offered to help Ye Han obtain all the spirit liquid if Ye Han passed his demon-breaking divine thunder on to him.
