Chapter Summaries

Ye Han struck down the humanoid magic beast, but it escaped through an unknown ability, leaving behind its treasures. He reunited with the Heaven-Sealing Ape, the Glacier Immortal Emperor, his clones, and two surviving puppets, then used the beast’s Secret Key to open the Heaven-Sealing Gate and prepare to leave.

• Ye Han discovered that the Heaven-Sealing Ape and the Glacier Immortal Emperor had stayed in the Myriad Treasures Formation to hunt magic beasts and collect their resources, so he ordered them to leave while his clones dismantled the formation.
• Ye Han attacked the humanoid magic beast with the Thunderous Five-Element Golden Cudgel and his True Immortal's Hand, but it escaped by slipping free like a cicada shedding its shell and left behind storage bags and spatial treasures.
• As pursuing magic beasts returned, Ye Han used Teleportation Arrays to bring over the Heaven-Sealing Ape, the Glacier Immortal Emperor, his two clones, and two puppets; he realized the Devil Race puppet was missing.
• Ye Han told the group to leave and used the humanoid magic beast's Secret Key to open a different Keyhole in the Heaven-Sealing Gate.
• Ye Han and the others joined their life-soul auras as the gate filled with heaven-sealing power and Spirit-Light Runes.

Night Spirit Immortal Emperor and Bulling Immortal Emperor searched for Ye Han in a region of chaotic dark energy, while Ye Han sailed across a stormy ocean and worked to open the Humanoid Magic Beast’s Storage Bags. After breaking one bag’s divine soul mark, Ye Han found himself wondering whether the beast had died.

• Night Spirit Immortal Emperor failed to sense Ye Han’s divine soul mark and told Bulling Immortal Emperor that Ye Han possessed a treasure that could help him escape the great heavenly dao cycle.
• Bulling Immortal Emperor agreed not to fight Night Spirit Immortal Emperor for the treasure, while privately considering what he might do if he learned its true nature.
• Demon beasts with densely packed blood-red eyes charged at Night Spirit Immortal Emperor and Bulling Immortal Emperor from all sides.
• Ye Han sailed through a violent storm aboard the Black Flying Boat and used his spell power and divine soul power to erase the Humanoid Magic Beast’s marks on its Storage Bags.
• Ye Han opened one Storage Bag and wondered whether the Humanoid Magic Beast had died.

Ye Han explored a barren sea region after escaping the humanoid magic beast, then discovered that the beast had suddenly died when the seals on its Storage Bags weakened. He concluded that the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor had caught up with the beast and might now be closing in on him.

• Ye Han escaped the previous region with his companions, taking the humanoid magic beast's Storage Bags after it used a divine ability to flee.
• Ye Han sailed across the barren sea and torrential rain while trying to undo the seals on the beast's Storage Bags.
• The divine soul marks on the Storage Bags suddenly weakened, and Ye Han realized their owner had died.
• Ye Han opened the Storage Bags and found a vast collection of rare treasures, pills, and materials.
• Ye Han recalled sensing the Night Spirit Immortal Emperor's stronger divine soul mark and suspected he had killed the humanoid magic beast and caught up with him.

Ye Han considered the Humanoid Magic Beast’s escape and suspected Night Spirit Immortal Emperor had killed it, then assessed the danger of their paths crossing again. After recovering from the battle and sorting his spoils, he examined a strange pitch-black Crystal Stone.

• Ye Han reasoned that Night Spirit Immortal Emperor had likely killed the Humanoid Magic Beast and realized he could be in danger if they reached the same region.
• Ye Han concluded that the region’s Treasure Vault was probably underwater or on an island, but chose to recover before searching for it.
• Ye Han sorted the Humanoid Magic Beast’s spoils and found that the treasures he had gained far exceeded what he had lost.
• Ye Han inferred that the Humanoid Magic Beast had planned to lure cultivators to the Heaven-Sealing Gate, plunder them, and then seek immortal fortuity in the next region.
• Ye Han took out a pitch-black Crystal Stone and judged that it might be useful.

Ye Han discovered that a sealed black crystal contained exceptionally pure darkness spirit liquid and gave it to the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron. The cauldron sprouted a dark-attribute Spirit Root sapling, but Ye Han sensed the liquid would not be enough to ripen its fruit.

• Ye Han identified the black crystal as a powerful seal likely holding darkness spirit liquid that could help produce a dark-attribute Spirit Root Fruit.
• Ye Han sent the crystal into the Purple-Gold Gourd, where the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron sensed it and drew it inside.
• The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron broke into the seal and extracted the darkness spirit liquid, whose purity amazed Ye Han.
• A dark-attribute Spirit Root sapling sprouted from the cauldron as it absorbed the liquid.
• Ye Han concluded that the liquid was insufficient to ripen the fruit and decided to use his old method.

Ye Han cultivated a dark-attribute Spirit Root Fruit sapling while his strengthened Heaven-Devouring Cauldron restored the Purple Jade Sky Tiger. After metal puppets and Ye Han himself failed to find the bottom of the endless sea, he began to suspect he had been searching in the wrong direction.

• The Dark Spirit Night crystal helped the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron sprout a dark-attribute fruit sapling, which grew as the cauldron absorbed Dark Phosphor Liquid.
• Ye Han’s strengthened Heaven-Devouring Cauldron continued restoring the Purple Jade Sky Tiger, though Ye Han remained wary of releasing it.
• Ye Han sent golden-armored metal puppets beneath the sea to search for treasures, but most were crushed by the pressure and none found the seabed.
• After more than three years of fruitless searching, Ye Han plunged into the sea himself but had to retreat after descending tens of thousands of li.
• Ye Han emerged from the sea and wondered whether he had been looking in the wrong direction.

Ye Han concluded that the sea beneath the endless rain had no reachable bottom and that the region’s treasures must lie above the sky. He piloted the Black Flying Boat upward, where stronger spiritual energy and icy water-attributed power confirmed he was heading in the right direction.

• Ye Han discovered that even his body and cultivation could not withstand the sea’s depths, so he concluded that the sea had no reachable bottom.
• Ye Han reasoned that neither treasures nor the Heaven's Mandate Gate could be beneath the sea and deduced that the Fortuitous Opportunity Site lay above the rain-lashed sky.
• Ye Han returned to the Black Flying Boat and activated its starlit barrier to ascend, leaving the Heaven-Sealing Ape and the Glacier Immortal Emperor to cultivate inside.
• After more than two hours of climbing, the Black Flying Boat met stronger resistance, while the spiritual energy above the rain grew stronger and carried an icy water-attributed aura and powerful laws.
• Ye Han strengthened the boat’s formations to absorb spiritual energy as the rain gave way to clouds, revealing an astonishing sight.

Ye Han discovered a vast tree whose roots filled the sky above the Sealed Heaven Land, producing the region’s endless rain and harboring many heavenly treasures. He stopped the Black Flying Boat among the roots and began gathering treasures, while the Heaven-Sealing Ape wondered if they had reached a place he recognized.

• Ye Han realized that enormous roots above the clouds were leaking water that formed the rain and ocean below, and he sensed powerful life laws around them.
• Ye Han spotted hundreds of stalks of purple-gold vermilion jade grass and other heavenly treasures growing among the roots.
• Ye Han called the Heaven-Sealing Ape and Glacier Immortal Emperor out of seclusion so they could search for treasures together and face any dangers as a group.
• Ye Han anchored the Black Flying Boat among the roots, activated its protective formation, and used luminous hands to gather the purple-gold vermilion jade grass.
• The Heaven-Sealing Ape emerged from the boat, recognized the place as possibly somewhere familiar, and Glacier Immortal Emperor asked what he meant.

The Heaven-Sealing Ape suspected that Ye Han and his companions had reached the Heaven-Sealing Tree Region, where exposed treasures concealed lethal dangers. While Ye Han gathered spirit medicines, roots and decaying creatures trapped him in a dangerous attack, and he fought his way through part of the assault.

• The Heaven-Sealing Ape told the Glacier Immortal Emperor that the region might be the Heaven-Sealing Tree Region and warned that its treasures likely came with great danger.
• Ye Han’s gathering of spirit medicines triggered enormous roots to lash at him with powerful attacks.
• Withered vine claws and poisonous black-green decay surrounded Ye Han, restraining his movement and threatening to rot the space around him.
• Ye Han used the Chaos Vajra Fire God Art to destroy the vine claws and force his way through the storm, where he saw something that stunned him.

Ye Han fought off the corrosive withered-tree vines and traced their attacks to a gigantic root-made figure. He realized the being was not a Tree Spirit, but something even more powerful.

• Corrosive poison ate away at Ye Han’s gang qi armor, so he unleashed a storm of gang qi to blast it away.
• More withered-tree vine claws surrounded Ye Han, and he summoned two gang qi longswords to avoid damaging his treasures.
• Ye Han severed the incoming claws with sword light and attacked a distant patch of roots.
• A colossal vine claw blocked Ye Han’s sword strikes, and the roots gathered into a gigantic humanoid figure.
• Ye Han recognized that the figure was not a Tree Spirit and was an even more powerful being.

Ye Han and his companions fought two tree demons whose racial life auras and corrosive poison attacks made them formidable opponents. As the Heaven-Sealing Ape and the Glacier Immortal Emperor battled one demon, Ye Han charged the other, leaving it terrified and retreating into its roots.

• Ye Han recognized the giant with an emerald eye as a tree demon rather than a tree spirit and realized its life aura suggested a reproducing race.
• The Heaven-Sealing Ape and the Glacier Immortal Emperor fought a second tree demon, struggling against its corrosive poison aura and relentless attacks.
• Ye Han encased himself in crystal-clear gang qi armor and wings, then surged toward his tree demon through its attacks.
• The tree demon sensed extreme danger as Ye Han evaded its assaults, and its roots and vines wrapped around it while it burrowed into the ground.

Ye Han drove back the Tree Demon, but its mysterious fruit-pit treasure shattered his Golden-Light Bone Dragons and helped it escape. After the other Tree Demon fled the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape, Ye Han summoned them to leave the spreading corrosive poison aura behind.

• Ye Han blasted apart the Tree Demon's root armor and exposed its crystalline true body.
• The Tree Demon entered a rune-covered fruit-pit treasure, which shattered Ye Han's three Golden-Light Bone Dragons and vanished with it.
• The Tree Demon fighting the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape fled after seeing the other Tree Demon escape.
• Ye Han called the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape to retreat as the blackish-green poison aura spread, and the Black Flying Boat flew toward them.

Ye Han, the Glacier Immortal Emperor, and the Heaven-Sealing Ape fled as a gigantic black-green demonic beast formed from poisonous Everlasting Immortal Flower petals pursued them. Trapped by attacks bursting from spatial rifts, the group faced the need to use their treasures, but Ye Han insisted they were safe.

• A thousand-li black-green demonic beast formed from the tendrils and petals and gave chase as Ye Han urged the others to flee.
• The beast's flames tore open spatial rifts and sent demon faces and maws surging at Ye Han, the Glacier Immortal Emperor, and the Heaven-Sealing Ape.
• The trio found their Instantaneous Movement Divine Ability suppressed, so Ye Han blasted apart the incoming attacks and opened a passage through the void.
• The demon maws shattered most of Ye Han's passage and swept toward the three, prompting the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape to prepare their treasures.
• Ye Han told his companions not to worry because the attackers could do nothing to them.

Ye Han escaped the tree demons with the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape, then hid the Black Flying Boat from a pursuing demon head. He revealed that he had discovered the creatures’ weakness, while the Heaven-Sealing Ape’s mention of the Heaven-Sealing Tree prompted Ye Han to ask what it knew.

• Ye Han linked the three life souls and used a Grand Teleportation Array to escape the demons’ attack, while his fists destroyed the bloody maws closing in on them.
• The three appeared aboard the Black Flying Boat, which Ye Han had sent tens of thousands of li away from the demon and treasure-laden roots.
• The Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape spoke of the tree demons’ power, and Ye Han asked the ape what it knew about the Heaven-Sealing Tree.
• Ye Han empowered the Black Flying Boat as a demon head appeared above it, but the creature failed to notice the vessel.
• Ye Han cloaked the Black Flying Boat with the Starry Sky Immortal Stone’s power, made it vanish into space, and told his companions he had discovered the creatures’ weakness.

Ye Han used the Black Flying Boat’s starlight abilities to distract and trap the corrosive poison demon, then made the boat vanish into the void to escape the tree demons. The pursuers failed to find them and withdrew.

• Ye Han split off a second Black Flying Boat, which drew the black-green demon’s attacks while the starlight vortexes tore apart its corrosive poison aura.
• The Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape watched from the other boat as Ye Han identified the demon as a formation controlled by the tree demons.
• Ye Han concealed the Black Flying Boat in the void and ordered the others to retreat.
• The tree demons struck the empty space where the boat had vanished but could not locate it, then withdrew into the roots.

Ye Han explained that the Tree Demons were vulnerable to dark and light attributes, while the Heaven-Sealing Ape warned him to conserve the Starry Sky Immortal Stone’s power. Ye Han said he had another way to deal with the Tree Demons, prompting the Glacier Immortal Emperor to ask whether he could wield dark-attribute power.

• The Heaven-Sealing Ape asked Ye Han how to exploit the Tree Demons’ weakness after the group escaped aboard the Flying Boat.
• Ye Han said the Tree Demons feared both dark-attribute and light-attribute power.
• The Heaven-Sealing Ape urged Ye Han to conserve the Starry Sky Immortal Stone’s power because it was crucial to obtaining the Heaven-Sealing Source.
• Ye Han agreed, though he knew the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron held the stone’s power and could replenish it at the cost of Pills.
• Ye Han said they would use another method against the Tree Demons, and the Glacier Immortal Emperor asked whether he could wield dark-attribute power.

Ye Han told the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape that a dark-attribute treasure could help them deal with the tree demons, concealing that he planned to use a Dark-Attribute Spirit Root Fruit. He assigned his companions to prepare defenses while he focused on cultivating and strengthening the dark-attribute sapling, then prepared to take the next step in its growth.

• The Heaven-Sealing Ape and the Glacier Immortal Emperor asked Ye Han whether he had acquired a way to counter the tree demons, and he claimed he had found a treasure that could temporarily give him a dark-attribute spirit root.
• Ye Han proposed that they cultivate in seclusion while learning more about the tree demons, and told the Heaven-Sealing Ape and the Glacier Immortal Emperor to refine countermeasures and build a defensive cultivation site around the Black Flying Boat.
• The Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape left the cabin to set up a formation that would keep the Black Flying Boat aloft, gather spiritual energy, conceal it, and protect it.
• Ye Han examined the dark-attribute sapling growing on the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron and saw that it had reached half a zhang as it absorbed the remaining darkness spirit liquid.
• Ye Han recognized that the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron's increased power had accelerated the sapling's growth and prepared to take the next step in strengthening it.

Bulling Immortal Emperor and Night Spirit Immortal Emperor finished exterminating the dark-attribute magic beasts in the region and discussed the Sealed Heaven Land and rumors of the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron. Bulling Immortal Emperor revealed he had come seeking the cauldron and asked Night Spirit Immortal Emperor to help him with an unspecified task.

• Bulling Immortal Emperor killed and captured a red-armored cultivator, while Night Spirit Immortal Emperor reported that they had killed nearly all the dark-attribute magic beasts.
• Bulling Immortal Emperor and Night Spirit Immortal Emperor wondered whether the Sealed Heaven Land was a trap connected to a legendary existence.
• Bulling Immortal Emperor told Night Spirit Immortal Emperor that the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron had reappeared and might have destroyed the Ancient Dragon Realm.
• Bulling Immortal Emperor admitted he had come to the Sealed Heaven Land because the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron might appear there and could help the Immortal Race survive the great Heavenly Dao cycle.
• Bulling Immortal Emperor asked Night Spirit Immortal Emperor to help him with an unspecified matter, promising to return the favor.

Ye Han consumed the ripe dark-attribute Spirit Root Fruit and gained a dark-attribute spirit root, which resonated with his light-attribute spirit root and transformed his Yin-Yang Divine Formula. The combined aura began harmonizing and transforming his other spirit roots, leaving him unsure whether the changes were beneficial or dangerous.

• After 233 years of nourishing it with dark-attribute spirit liquid, Ye Han harvested the ripe dark-attribute Spirit Root Fruit.
• Ye Han ate the fruit, and dark-attribute spiritual energy and spirit root bloodline power surged through him.
• Ye Han's new dark-attribute spirit root resonated with his light-attribute spirit root, forming a black-and-white taiji vortex that stirred his yin-yang aura.
• Ye Han sensed that the two spirit roots had brought a qualitative change to his Yin-Yang Divine Formula and began transforming his body and aura.
• Ye Han discovered that his five elements, thunder-attribute, ice-attribute, and other spirit roots were joining a cycle and beginning to transform and fuse.

Ye Han refined artifact-refining spirit liquid and discovered that his new dark-attribute spirit root had brought his spirit roots into a cycle that let him glimpse immortal qi. He gave the liquid to the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape so they could prepare their treasures before the group confronted the tree demons and pursued the everlasting immortal flower.

• Ye Han refined more than a dozen bottles of artifact-refining spirit liquid using purple-gold pearl jade grass as the primary ingredient.
• Ye Han reflected on how his dark-attribute spirit root complemented his light-attribute spirit root and transformed his other spirit roots into a closed cycle, allowing him to grasp a trace of immortal qi laws.
• Ye Han decided to strengthen his treasures and prepare protective spirit liquid before facing the Heaven-Sealing Tree Region’s tree demons.
• Ye Han called the Glacier Immortal Emperor and the Heaven-Sealing Ape to his cabin and gave them artifact-refining spirit liquid to refine their most-used treasures.
• Ye Han explained that they could not wait for the Heaven-Sealing Gate to appear, since powerful humanoid magic beasts might already be in the region and he still needed to pursue the everlasting immortal flower.
