Chapter Summaries

Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing escaped the Eternal God Statue after Primordial Ancient Beasts attacked it, then fled through the Thousand Mountains Terrain. Once safe in a barren land, Ye Han questioned why Teacher Lan Qing needed his help and raised concerns about the Heavenly Secret Hall.

• Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing fled through the Thousand Mountains Terrain, fighting Primordial Demon Trees and gathering spirit medicine before reaching barren land.

• Teacher Lan Qing dismissed the question and said he had no one else in the Earth Realm's Cultivation World to ask for help.
• Ye Han asked Teacher Lan Qing whether he had noticed that the Heavenly Secret Hall seemed unusually dangerous.

Teacher Lan Qing explained that the Heavenly Secret Hall’s sudden changes might be caused by someone tampering with its restrictions, then led Ye Han through a barren land to seek a warship inheritance site. They could not find the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beasts that knew its location, leaving them unsure how to proceed.

• Teacher Lan Qing said the Heavenly Secret Hall was ancient and mysterious, and suspected someone had altered restrictions to release powerful beings.
• Ye Han suggested taking time to cultivate, but Teacher Lan Qing led him toward a Fortuitous Opportunity Site instead, hoping to find something useful and rescue his original physical body.
• Ye Han followed Teacher Lan Qing through the barren land, recalling that Elder Liu’s map warned of Ground-Pincer Ancient Beasts and buried ancient warships containing treasures and inheritances.
• After several hours of searching without finding any beasts, Ye Han asked Teacher Lan Qing whether something had gone wrong.
• Teacher Lan Qing explained that the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beasts knew the location of the true warship inheritance site, and Ye Han asked what they should do if they could not find them.

Ye Han used the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda’s fire and earth attributes to bore deep underground and flush out the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast. When the magma began to churn, Teacher Lan Qing warned that they might have found the beast’s location, and both prepared their defenses.

• Teacher Lan Qing urged Ye Han to devise a plan to drive the underground Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast out.
• Ye Han used the Truefire Spirit Art to charge the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda with fire, then drove it into the ground with earth-attribute spell power.
• The Exquisite Treasure Pagoda descended thousands of zhang, melting the surrounding earth into magma as Ye Han continued to channel his techniques.
• The underground magma began to churn, and Teacher Lan Qing warned Ye Han that they might have found the right spot.
• Teacher Lan Qing deployed his defenses, and Ye Han activated his defensive restrictions and released the Six-Gate Cosmic Armor.

Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing battled a Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast to capture it for their goal. After the beast’s head was destroyed, its tail escaped underground, and Teacher Lan Qing chased after it while Ye Han spotted another piece of its flesh fleeing in a different direction.

• Ye Han lured the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast out of the earth with the molten Exquisite Treasure Pagoda, and it seized the pagoda in its pincer.
• Teacher Lan Qing summoned a giant spear and struck the beast, but it caught the attack with its pincers as Ye Han’s pagoda hit its abdomen and sealed its strength.
• Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing struck again, splitting the beast’s head and body, while Ye Han collected its jade-white crystal and gathered its flesh and blood.
• Teacher Lan Qing told Ye Han not to kill the beast and to remember their goal, so Ye Han let its tail burrow away and followed Teacher Lan Qing in pursuit.
• Ye Han noticed a mass of flesh from the beast’s corpse turn into bloody light and flee in another direction.

Ye Han pursued a fleeing Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast bloodlight and discovered it was the male returning to his body after mating with the female he and Teacher Lan Qing had attacked. The male fled into its underground lair, and Ye Han chased it until a dangerous rock vortex surged toward him.

• Ye Han and Teacher Lan Qing split up to pursue the fleeing bloodlight and the other Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast.
• Ye Han followed the bloodlight to a cavern, where it entered a lifeless Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast and restored its power.
• Ye Han learned that the bloodlight belonged to the male Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast, while Teacher Lan Qing pursued the female's demon beast soul and primordial spirit.
• The male Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast attacked Ye Han, then burrowed away after Ye Han evaded it with the Thunder Escape Technique.
• Ye Han pursued the beast through its underground lair, where a massive rock vortex rushed toward him.

Ye Han pursued the wounded Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast through the Heavenly Secret Hall, intending to use it to find an enormous warship rather than kill it. The chase led into a frozen cavern filled with shattered ancient flying boats and a vast bronze wall covered in runes, while the Purple Cauldron sensed something valuable elsewhere.

• Ye Han used the Exquisite Treasure Pagoda and Demon-Breaking Divine Thunder to destroy the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast's attack and badly injure it.
• The Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast fled underground, and Ye Han followed while concealing his presence so it would lead him to the enormous warship.
• Ye Han sent a Messaging Talisman to Teacher Lan Qing and sensed that Lan Qing was nearby, along with the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast that had lost its physical body.
• Ye Han followed the beast through increasingly cold passages, where he found ancient flying-boat wreckage embedded in ice and a huge bronze-like wall covered in intricate runes.
• Elsewhere, the Purple Cauldron trembled after finding something valuable.

Ye Han tracked the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast to an enormous, icebound Super Battleship hidden underground and entered it in search of the treasure sensed by the Purple Cauldron. He reached a frozen passage inside the ship, where the intense cold and restricted divine sense left him facing four possible routes.

• A tremor caused Ye Han to lose his sense of the mark on the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast, and he followed it to a vast entrance in the ice wall.
• Ye Han sensed an enormous battleship frozen underground and realized the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast had fled inside it.
• He left a talisman bearing his image and aura for Teacher Lan Qing, then reinforced his defenses before entering the spatial vortex.
• Inside the battleship, Ye Han used his fire-element formation to withstand the icy law power and found himself in a frozen corridor.
• Ye Han sensed four branching entrances ahead, while the battleship's frigid power heavily suppressed his divine sense.

Ye Han entered a passage inside the super warship flying boat, where he discovered the frozen remains of a member of the vanished Night Spirit Clan. He continued onward without finding any surviving treasures, while Teacher Lan Qing arrived at the four passages behind him.

• Ye Han rejected the idea of pursuing the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast and used the Purple Cauldron to choose the third passage.
• Ye Han advanced through the freezing passage and noticed that many objects and possible treasures had lost their spiritual energy.
• Ye Han broke open a frosted door and found a gigantic, horned cultivator in Bronze Armor, whom he identified as a member of the Night Spirit Clan.
• The frozen Night Spirit clansman crumbled into ashes, and his silver bracelet also disintegrated before Ye Han could recover anything.
• Teacher Lan Qing appeared at the four passages and realized that Ye Han had gone inside.

Teacher Lan Qing followed a Token through the warship while wondering where Ye Han’s fortuitous opportunity had come from, and fought an ice soul along the way. Ye Han battled ice wraiths and fed their souls to the Ghost Skull Mirror, then sensed Teacher Lan Qing might have run into trouble.

• Teacher Lan Qing used a Night Spirit Clan Token to choose the second passage, concluding Ye Han had taken another route and wondering who held the item he sought.
• Teacher Lan Qing destroyed an attacking ice soul with Green Lightning and continued following the Token’s guiding rune.
• Ye Han fought ice wraiths with the Five Elements Magic Treasure Formation while the Ghost Skull Mirror captured and devoured their souls.
• Ye Han wondered why Teacher Lan Qing was following his route, then sensed that Teacher Lan Qing might have encountered trouble.

Ye Han followed the Purple Cauldron’s growing response through the Super Flying Boat warship after sensing that the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast had been killed. In a frozen hall, he encountered an enormous armored Night Spirit Clan warrior that awakened and absorbed the blue light of the other frozen clan members, then fixed him with killing intent.

• Ye Han realized the Ground-Pincer Ancient Beast had died and grew wary of the dangers inside the warship.
• Ye Han sensed Teacher Lan Qing entering through a different passage, but chose to follow the Purple Cauldron’s response instead of seeking him out.
• Ye Han entered a vast frozen hall and defended himself from a powerful Icicles Storm.
• An enormous Night Spirit Clan warrior stirred inside the ice, and its body crumbled away to reveal a skeleton in Bronze Armor.
• The skeletal warrior absorbed blue light from the other frozen Night Spirit Clan members and fixed Ye Han with a hostile gaze.

Ye Han fought a Skeleton Night Spirit Clan member whose strength and killing intent were being controlled by another force. He defeated the skeleton, but an icy aura escaped toward a passage at the far end of the Great Hall.

• Ye Han dodged the Skeleton Night Spirit Clan member’s surprise attack with the Thunder Escape Technique.
• The Skeleton Night Spirit Clan member appeared to predict Ye Han’s movements and attacked with two Frost Longswords.
• Ye Han drew his Bone Swords and clashed with the skeleton in a battle that shook the open cabin.
• Ye Han merged his Bone Swords into a Giant Sword and struck as Skull Heads clamped onto the skeleton’s feet and drained its icy-blue energy.
• Ye Han’s sword strike split the Skeleton Night Spirit Clan member apart, and an icy aura shot toward a passage at the far end of the Great Hall.

Ye Han trapped a strange icy entity inside the Ghost Skull Mirror and discovered Bone-Refining Divine Marrow in the Skeleton Night Spirit Clan member he had killed. As he collected the marrow, a furious icy hurricane carrying countless ice wraiths swept into the warship.

• Ye Han used the Ghost Skull Mirror to strip away the ice wraiths empowering the Skeleton Night Spirit Clan member, then cut its body apart.
• Ye Han lured a strange icy rabbit into the Ghost Skull Mirror, where its skulls tore it apart and bound the revealed mass of writhing viscera.
• The Ghost Skull Mirror absorbed the viscera’s aura, while Ye Han noticed it might be nearing a breakthrough.
• Ye Han found Bone-Refining Divine Marrow seeping from the Skeleton Night Spirit Clan member’s shattered bones and began collecting it.
• A violent tremor shook the warship as a furious icy hurricane and countless ice wraiths surged through the passage entrance.

Ye Han battled through waves of ice wraiths in the passage while the Ghost Skull Mirror absorbed eerie innards and could not aid him. Near the Purple Cauldron’s sensed treasure, he encountered snow-white root tendrils strong enough to clash with his Bone-Refining Bone Sword.

• The Ghost Skull Mirror remained occupied absorbing the eerie innards, so Ye Han fought the Icicles Behemoths with his Bone-Refining Bone Sword.
• Ye Han used the Thousand Illusion Heavenly Bell to devour the ice wraiths as he charged deeper into the passage toward the treasure sensed by the Purple Cauldron.
• Ye Han realized the ice wraiths were manifestations of a special demon beast and that the bell’s aura grew stronger by consuming them.
• Ye Han reached a stretch of passage filled with jade-white root tendrils and continued forward despite sensing danger.
• The root tendrils burst from the icicles and clashed with Ye Han’s sword-rays, numbing his arm with their force.

Ye Han fought through the snow-white roots and ice wraiths with his swords and Five Elements Magic Treasure Formation, then entered the immense pit where the Purple Cauldron sensed a treasure. He reached the pit’s bottom, where enormous roots converged toward its center.

• The snow-white roots attacked Ye Han with chilling qi and copied the moves of his Great Geng Sword Art, though they lacked its sword intent.
• Ye Han used the Five Elements Magic Treasure Formation to unleash truefire, destroying the ice wraith beasts and weakening the roots before cutting through them with his Bone-Refining Bone Swords.
• Ye Han entered a vast hall and found a huge pit filled with chilling mist and roots, which the Purple Cauldron sensed contained a treasure.
• Ye Han leaped into the pit and descended tens of thousands of zhang while fending off the roots’ sword-ray attacks.
• Ye Han reached the bottom, where much larger snow-white roots spread toward the pit’s center as the Purple Cauldron’s reaction intensified.

Ye Han battled the mysterious creature’s snow-white roots, which launched icy attacks that gathered into a massive sphere above him. Facing a lethal blow, he took shelter inside the Qing Xuan Divine Palace, which was swallowed by the resulting frost storm.

• The snow-white roots fired spinning beams and balls of icy light at Ye Han, freezing and shattering his sword-rays.
• Ye Han used lightning and several movement techniques to evade the roots, then cut one, only for it to regenerate.
• The roots’ attacks gathered spiritual and icy energy in the sky and formed a ten-thousand-zhang sphere that crashed down on Ye Han.
• Ye Han summoned the Qing Xuan Divine Palace, entered it, and poured his spell power into its defenses.
• The icy sphere struck the palace, cracking its barrier as a freezing storm engulfed the Qing Xuan Divine Palace.

Teacher Lan Qing fought his way toward the Bronze Relief Gate, while Ye Han escaped the icy storm by using the Qing Xuan Divine Palace to deceive the root monster. The Purple Cauldron led Ye Han to a treasure, but he emerged to find a strange mushroom-like being watching him.

• Teacher Lan Qing destroyed the weakened icicle monsters with the Fork Artifact and reached a vast hall containing the Bronze Relief Gate.
• A colossal serpentine skeleton of the Night Spirit Clan rose from the ground, and Teacher Lan Qing prepared to fight it.
• A dragon-shaped mass of snow-white roots swallowed the Qing Xuan Divine Palace, but the palace vanished after Ye Han used its illusion ability to leave a convincing decoy.
• Ye Han concealed his aura with the Myriad Images Mask and the Red Mask, then followed the Purple Cauldron's sense of a nearby treasure.
• Ye Han emerged from the ground and saw a mushroom-like being surrounded by white roots, with something pulsing at its center.

Ye Han attacked the Snow-White Root Mushroom while its power was concentrated elsewhere, then struck it with the Five Elements Golden Cudgel and split it open. A jade-white rabbit emerged, the mushroom re-formed around it with a much stronger aura, and a strange humming sounded in Ye Han’s Divine Sense Sea.

• Ye Han recognized the Snow-White Root Mushroom’s aura and charged at it while its power was diminished.
• Ye Han used demon-breaking divine thunder to destroy the monster apparitions the mushroom unleashed.
• Ye Han summoned the Five Elements Golden Cudgel and smashed through the mushroom’s root shield and body.
• A jade-white rabbit fell from the mushroom’s exposed organ, releasing a freezing aura that began to numb Ye Han.
• The snow-white roots gathered around the rabbit and formed a new Snow-White Root Mushroom with an aura several times stronger.
• A series of suffocating hums came from Ye Han’s Divine Sense Sea.

Ye Han and the Purple Cauldron subdued the powerful snow-white rabbit, which had resisted the cauldron’s runic power and nearly escaped. The Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda knocked it unconscious, allowing the Purple Cauldron to absorb its icy aura and sprout a tender shoot, while Ye Han wondered what fruit it would produce and why the pagoda had intervened.

• The Purple Cauldron’s runes formed a giant hand that clashed with the Snow-White Root Mushroom’s root arms, and Ye Han struck the roots with the Five Elements Golden Cudgel.
• The jade-white rabbit escaped the Snow-White Root Mushroom, reappeared near the Purple Runes Vortex, and was knocked back into it by Ye Han.
• The Purple Cauldron drew the rabbit into Ye Han’s divine sense sea, but its icy attacks shook the cauldron and injured Ye Han’s mind and qi and blood.
• The Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda struck the rabbit unconscious, and the Purple Cauldron bound it with runic chains and absorbed its icy aura.
• A snow-white shoot sprouted from the Purple Cauldron, and Ye Han hoped it would produce a fruit that enhanced his ice-attribute spirit root.

Ye Han absorbed the strange rabbit into the Purple Cauldron, which drained the frost from the colossal Super Battleship, then helped the cauldron endure the rabbit’s icy aura with pills. The cauldron rewarded him with a surge of star power, but when Ye Han tried to find Teacher Lan Qing, he could no longer sense her location.

• The Purple Cauldron absorbed the snow-white rabbit, and the roots and freezing chill in the vast pit began to disappear.
• Ye Han sealed the odor from the milky-white liquid and considered how the rabbit might affect his ice-element abilities.
• Ye Han found frost forming on the Purple Cauldron and fed it several bottles of pills and spirit liquid.
• The Purple Cauldron absorbed the medicinal power, overcame the icy aura, and its white jade sprout grew faster.
• The Purple Cauldron gave Ye Han a large amount of star power, strengthening his spell power and slightly advancing his cultivation.
• Ye Han tried to locate Teacher Lan Qing but could no longer sense her.

Ye Han gave up searching for Teacher Lan Qing through the dangerous passages of the crashed warship and waited among its wreckage, refining rare metals and cultivating. After more than half a year without news, he used Bone-Refining Divine Marrow to push his Eightfold Bone Refining Art toward a breakthrough.

• Ye Han sensed that Teacher Lan Qing had entered a special space and searched the warship for a passage toward him, but found none that led in the right direction.
• Ye Han decided the unknown dangers outweighed the chance of finding more treasures, and climbed toward the hole above to wait for Teacher Lan Qing.
• Ye Han refined a metal fragment and discovered it contained sharp gold and several other rare materials.
• Ye Han set his puppets to excavate and refine metal scraps while he studied techniques, cultivated, and waited for Teacher Lan Qing.
• After more than half a year passed without news, Ye Han began cultivating the Eightfold Bone Refining Art with Bone-Refining Divine Marrow and approached a possible breakthrough.
