Chapter Summaries

Wu Xuantian and his companions headed through a sky vortex toward the Star Continent after an elder stopped him from killing the wounded Primordial Ice Beast. On the continent, Ye Han and the others found a barren land with signs of former abundance, then sensed a strange presence in a distant canyon.

• A black-cloaked woman stopped Wu Xuantian from killing the Primordial Ice Beast, and an elder ordered the group to prioritize reaching the Star Continent.
• A demon-aura figure urged the injured Primordial Ice Beast to leave the Human Race, and the beast followed it northwest.
• Ye Han, Teacher Lan Qing, Wuxie Scholar, and Saint As arrived on the Star Continent and found depleted spiritual energy, dead trees, and barren rocks.
• Teacher Lan Qing led the group forward, and they found the spiritual energy growing more abundant as they traveled.
• Ye Han sensed a strange aura from a distant canyon, and Wuxie Scholar confirmed that something was there.

Ye Han and the others discovered that a Famine Wolf Beast on the Star Continent had absorbed the power of the stars and fought it in a canyon. After capturing it, Ye Han extracted a star stone, leaving Teacher Lan Qing to question his actions.

• Ye Han, Teacher Lan Qing, Wuxie Scholar, and Saint As found a Famine Wolf Beast with an unusually powerful stellar aura in a canyon.
• At the others’ urging, Ye Han attacked the beast, countered its sonic and wind attacks, and pinned it down with his Vajra Giant Hand.
• Ye Han and the others examined the captured beast and concluded that it could naturally absorb the power of the stars, potentially making advancement easier for demon beasts.
• Wuxie Scholar cautioned that the Star Continent’s depleted spiritual energy could limit demon cultivators’ growth despite their access to star power.
• Saint As left the beast to Ye Han, who pulled a star stone from its abdomen and flung the beast away, prompting Teacher Lan Qing to ask if he had been possessed by a baleful spirit.

Ye Han and his companions continued across the Star Continent, where Ye Han found a star stone and learned that the Rebirth Gourd could help with his killing intent. Elsewhere, Wu Xuantian arrived in a desolate desert with four Northern Lu Immortal Sect elders, who demanded he contact the Half-Immortal Race, and he claimed the High Immortal had given him guidance.

• Ye Han found a star stone inside the Famine Wolf Beast and realized its power could speed his recovery.
• Teacher Lan Qing advised Ye Han that the Rebirth Gourd could deal with his killing intent, and Wuxie Scholar led the group toward richer spiritual energy in search of Elder Liu Head and the Nine-Dragon Lock.
• Wu Xuantian and four Northern Lu Immortal Sect elders emerged onto a desert on the Star Continent and found its spiritual energy severely depleted.
• The elders revealed that they wanted to open the restriction and no longer cared what happened to the Earth Realm or their race.
• Wu Xuantian said he could not contact the Half-Immortal Race, then told the elders that the High Immortal had given him guidance.

Wu Xuantian told the four Old Ancestors the immortal race’s Three Directives for opening Nine Dragons Locking the Sky, and they set out for the ancient human ancestors’ tomb. Meanwhile, Ye Han and his companions encountered a vast creature draining the Star Continent’s spiritual energy, which Saint As recognized.

• Wu Xuantian explained that the immortal race could not enter the Star Continent and still depended on the Old Ancestors to open Nine Dragons Locking the Sky.
• Wu Xuantian revealed the Three Directives: find the ancient human ancestors’ tomb, locate the Nine Dragons key in Ye Han’s hands, and find the Ascension Heavenly Ladder.
• The Old Ancestors decided to head for the tomb rather than fight Ye Han’s group, then hurried onward with Wu Xuantian.
• Ye Han defeated a Black-Scaled Four-Clawed Beast and took its star stone without killing it.
• A huge swirling maw appeared on the horizon and began sucking up Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
• Saint As recognized the creature and warned the others that it was the same one he had seen before.

Ye Han and the others identified the enormous creature attacking the Star Continent as the Void Spirit Heaven-Devouring Beast and suspected it was connected to the Immortal Race. After Ye Han's attempt to contact Elder Liu failed, they discovered his divine thought lay in the direction the Token's spirit light had traveled and prepared to follow it.

• Saint As recognized the creature as the Void Spirit Heaven-Devouring Beast that had devastated the Night Spirit Clan, and Teacher Lan Qing and Wuxie Scholar discussed its possible connection to the Immortal Race.
• Ye Han questioned whether Elder Liu had visited the Star Continent before, while Wuxie Scholar suggested Elder Liu might have obtained an ancient inheritance.
• The Void Spirit Heaven-Devouring Beast devoured space and land at the edge of the sky, then withdrew into the void.
• Saint As said the beast had appeared during the Night Spirit Clan's war with the Immortal Race, and Teacher Lan Qing and Wuxie Scholar speculated that the Immortal Race might control it.
• Ye Han activated Elder Liu's Legacy Disciple's Token, but its spirit light vanished after traveling only a few hundred zhang.
• Teacher Lan Qing concluded that Elder Liu might still be alive, and Wuxie Scholar urged the group to follow the direction of his divine thought.

Ye Han and the others followed Elder Liu’s signal across the Star Continent until they found a vast rift opening onto the starry sky, blocked by a dangerous flight prohibition. Their puppet test confirmed that crossing the rift was deadly, leaving them to face the obstacle without knowing what lay beyond.

• Ye Han and the others used the signal from Elder Liu to choose a direction and hurried toward him, with Ye Han collecting Star Stones from scattered Demon Beasts along the way.
• Wuxie Scholar asked whether the dragons from the Ten-Thousand-Year Nine-Dragon Wall had reacted, and Ye Han showed that the nine ink dragons remained unchanged.
• Teacher Lan Qing spotted a vast rift in the mountain range, with a starry sky visible far below and signs of a flight prohibition and spatial wind tunnels ahead.
• After finding no way around the seemingly endless rift, the group decided to test the crossing with Ye Han’s puppets.
• Ye Han sent three Metal Puppets across, but they plunged into the starry sky and were reduced to ashes by spatial vortexes.

Ye Han and the three Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators discovered that absolute flight prohibition blocked their way across the broken cliff, and Saint As said a legendary Sacred Decree was needed to pass. Ye Han revealed the Qing Xuan Divine Palace as a possible way across, leaving Wuxie Scholar convinced it might work.

• Ye Han lost contact with his puppet when it flew ten thousand zhang away, and Wuxie Scholar and Lan Qing identified the barrier as absolute flight prohibition.
• Saint As explained that his Night Spirit Clan’s sacred ground had the same restriction and could only be crossed with a Sacred Decree.
• Ye Han said he might have a way across, and Lan Qing warned him not to risk the nine Ink Dragons needed for Nine Dragons Locking the Sky.
• Ye Han joked that he was testing the others’ intentions, then said he had something that might pass through the restriction.
• Ye Han brought out the Qing Xuan Divine Palace, and Wuxie Scholar exclaimed that it might get them across.

Ye Han used the Qing Xuan Divine Palace to create a bridge across the starry rift and carry himself and his companions past the absolute flight prohibition. After they landed on the lush, spirit-rich continent, the light bridge began to disappear and blood-red figures emerged from the jungle.

• Ye Han reasoned that Elder Liu might have left the Qing Xuan Divine Palace as a way across the rift and decided to test it.
• Ye Han channeled spell power into the Qing Xuan Divine Palace, and its silver pillar joined with another pillar from the far continent to form a bridge.
• Ye Han, Wuxie Scholar, Teacher Lan Qing, and Saint As crossed the rift on the light bridge without encountering danger.
• The four landed on a mountain formation among ancient ruins and found the opposite continent lush and rich in spiritual energy.
• As the silver pillar began to recede, countless blood-red figures rushed out of the surrounding jungle, startling the four.

Ye Han and the others encountered mutated Soul-Absorbing Poison Mosquitoes on the Star Continent and fought them off. After the insects unexpectedly retreated, the group set out to find Elder Liu, but a sudden tremor shook the ground.

• Ye Han and the others discovered that flight and divine sense restrictions limited them as they landed on the Star Continent.
• Ye Han recognized the attacking insects as mutated Soul-Absorbing Poison Mosquitoes, and the swarm charged at the four cultivators.
• Teacher Lan Qing, Wuxie Scholar, Saint As, and Ye Han used their treasures and techniques to break through the mosquitoes' attacks.
• The mosquitoes retreated into the forests, leaving the four puzzled, and Teacher Lan Qing urged them to find Elder Liu.
• As the group prepared to leave, the ground began to shake violently.

Ye Han and the three Spirit Transformation cultivators fell into a cavern after the mountaintop collapsed, where they discovered a possible Ancient Human Race tomb. When their attempt to contact Elder Liu Head failed, the Nine Ink Dragon in Ye Han’s Divine Sense Sea reacted to the cavern’s energy, prompting Teacher Lan Qing to lead them inside.

• Teacher Lan Qing, Wuxie Scholar, Saint As, and Ye Han protected themselves as the formation beneath them collapsed and sent them falling through a hole in the ground.
• The four landed underground and found an enormous stone passage and open gate pouring out pure, abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
• Wuxie Scholar proposed that the cavern might be an Ancient Human Race tomb, while Saint As warned they could become trapped and waste precious time.
• Teacher Lan Qing asked Ye Han to contact Elder Liu Head, but the Legacy Disciple Token failed to reach him.
• Spirit-Light Runes surged from Ye Han as the Nine Ink Dragon in his Divine Sense Sea pulsed, and Teacher Lan Qing concluded that the energy was calling them inside.

Ye Han and his companions entered a cavern after the Nine Dragons resonated with it, while a blood-red figure noticed their arrival and descended into the pit. Elsewhere, a colossal ancient demon beast was knocked off a cliff and struck by golden Flame Orbs as it fell toward the starry vortices.

• Ye Han sent four metal puppets into the passage, then followed with Teacher Lan Qing, Saint As, and Wuxie Scholar.
• The four cultivators found the passage filled with dense spiritual energy and power of the stars, but saw no unusual markings or immediate danger.
• A blood-red figure appeared above the pit, realized four people had arrived with a familiar object, and descended after noticing silver runes arcing across the distant sky.
• A colossal ancient demon beast was battered by fists of golden light and flame, hurled from a cliff, and struck by falling golden Flame Orbs as it plunged toward the starry vortices.

Wu Xuantian and the four old ancestors continued through the cavern after the starry vortex destroyed an ancient demon beast. Elsewhere, Ye Tianyu escaped his pursuers and headed toward the enormous vortex, while Ye Han and his companions stopped when their puppet halted and he lost control of it.

• The ancient demon beast was torn apart by the starry vortex, and Wu Xuantian followed the four old ancestors onward through the cavern.
• Four cultivators cornered Ye Tianyu in the Far Northern Lands, but the figure they sealed was a decoy that exploded and blasted them away.
• Ye Tianyu, wounded and hundreds of miles away, resolved to rescue someone and used a white tiger statue to open a hole in the vortex and enter it.
• Ye Han and his three companions raced through the passage behind their puppet until Ye Han noticed it had stopped and that he had lost control of it.

Ye Han and the others investigated a passage where his puppets vanished and learned from Saint As that it contained a spatial barrier leading to another space. Teacher Lan Qing crossed first, disappearing from view as Ye Han held his Life Soul Token.

• Ye Han sent Metal Puppets ahead, but their connections vanished as they reached a particular point in the passage.
• The group examined the seemingly ordinary area with their Spirit Eye Divine Ability but found no clues.
• A Metal Puppet disappeared as it stepped forward, and Wuxie Scholar suspected that spatial laws were involved.
• Saint As identified the phenomenon as a spatial barrier separating two spaces and said the Night Spirit Clan had encountered such places before.
• Teacher Lan Qing gave Ye Han his Life Soul Token and crossed the barrier, while Saint As and Wuxie Scholar watched the token.

Ye Han was separated from Teacher Lan Qing, Saint As, and Wuxie Scholar by the strange spatial restriction and was transported to an enormous sealed Palace Plaza. Unable to locate the others, he wondered where Teacher Lan Qing and Saint As had gone.

• Ye Han sensed no problem with Teacher Lan Qing's Life Soul Token and followed Saint As and Wuxie Scholar through the spatial passage.
• Ye Han vanished after the Nine Dragons in the Purple Cauldron trembled, while Wuxie Scholar arrived in the passage with Teacher Lan Qing and Saint As but could not find him.
• Wuxie Scholar discovered they could not return, and Teacher Lan Qing sensed his Life Token's aura but could not determine Ye Han's location.
• Teacher Lan Qing, Saint As, and Wuxie Scholar followed the direction of the Life Token's aura and brought Ye Han's Puppets with them.
• Ye Han was swept through a spatial vortex and appeared alone in a vast, sealed Palace Plaza beneath a cavern ceiling dotted with starlight.

Ye Han was separated from Teacher Lan Qing and the others after entering the spatial power, and found himself in a star-filled chamber protected by a deadly formation. As he tried to investigate the starlight and summon the Starry Sky Stone, the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda unexpectedly flew out of the Purple Cauldron.

• Ye Han realized that Teacher Lan Qing, Saint As, and Wuxie Scholar were missing, then hung Teacher Lan Qing's divine soul token at his waist and concluded that she was safe.
• Ye Han sent Metal Puppets to explore, but starlight from the ceiling formation destroyed them when they moved beyond his circular stone tile.
• Ye Han tested the safe area with another Puppet, confirmed that crossing the tile's edge triggered the formation, and decided not to venture out recklessly.
• Ye Han tried to bring out the Starry Sky Stone by activating the Purple Cauldron, but the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda began glowing and flew out of the cauldron.

Ye Han discovered that the Starry Sky Stone was embedded in the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda, which absorbed the Great Hall’s starlight and drew abundant energy to him as he cultivated. Teacher Lan Qing, Wuxie Scholar, and Saint As sensed the energy draining away and found an enormous stone gate ahead.

• The Purple Cauldron subdued the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda and brought it into Ye Han’s Divine Sense Sea with the Starry Sky Stone atop it.
• The pagoda and Starry Sky Stone absorbed starlight from the Great Hall’s formations, increasing their stellar power and drawing spiritual energy toward Ye Han.
• Ye Han sat on the Soul-Refining Meditation Cushion and cultivated, circulating the gathered energies through the Purple Cauldron Space to strengthen his Nascent Soul.
• Teacher Lan Qing, Wuxie Scholar, and Saint As hurried through a passage and noticed that the heaven and earth spiritual energy was decreasing.
• Teacher Lan Qing spotted an enormous stone gate ahead.

Wuxie Scholar, Saint As, and Teacher Lan Qing struggled to open an ancient stone gate, whose gap released extraordinary spiritual energy, but the mechanism jammed before they could enter. Elsewhere, Ye Tianyu's purple Small Cauldron sensed something nearby, and he raced toward it while worrying about the Nine-Dragon Lock.

• Wuxie Scholar used three Divine Earth Strongmen to test the stone gate, discovering that it could slide to the right.
• Saint As and Teacher Lan Qing brought out a Stone Giant Bull and a Giant Beast Puppet, helping Wuxie Scholar push the gate open enough for potent spiritual energy to escape.
• The stone gate jammed, and the three cultivators suspected a hidden mechanism; Teacher Lan Qing remarked that Ye Han might have been strong enough to force it open.
• Ye Tianyu sensed his purple Small Cauldron reacting, followed its pull across the Star Continent, and wondered whether Ye Han and the others might be nearby.
• Ye Tianyu recalled Junior Sister Qing Feng's warning and resolved that the Nine-Dragon Lock absolutely could not be opened.

Wu Xuantian persuaded the Old Ancestors to cross a silver pillar of light to the Star Continent, where they hoped to find greater opportunities. Meanwhile, Ye Han’s cultivation surged as he absorbed stellar energy, and he prepared to try binding the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda as his own.

• Wu Xuantian activated the Formation Disk and persuaded the Old Ancestors to leave the underground passage and cross to the Star Continent.
• The Old Ancestors agreed that the Star Continent offered better chances of finding opportunities and extending their lives, then followed Wu Xuantian across the silver pillar of light.
• Ye Han cultivated beneath the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda for over three months, advancing close to the middle of the Nascent Soul Realm Fifth Layer and doubling his absorbed Power of the Stars.
• Ye Han reasoned that the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda had entered the Purple Cauldron willingly and decided to attempt Blood-Drip Recognition to control it.
• Ye Han focused on the gap in the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda where a Creation Heaven Cube was missing.

Ye Han tried to bind the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda by inserting his Creation Heaven Cube into its missing piece and activating runes he had prepared. The pagoda resisted, and Ye Han was left struggling under its immense power.

• Ye Han decided to use his Creation Heaven Cube to claim the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda before it grew stronger or escaped his control.
• Ye Han brought out the Creation Heaven Cube and used the Purple Cauldron to restrain the pagoda as he inscribed the cube with bloodline, formation, and suppression runes.
• Ye Han fitted the prepared Creation Heaven Cube into the gap in the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda.
• Ye Han activated the runes, but the pagoda countered with gold-and-silver spirit light and began shaking violently.
• The Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda's power pressed Ye Han's aura and spell power to the brink of collapse.

Ye Han used the Creation Heaven Cubes and Purple Cauldron to overcome the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda’s resistance and successfully made it recognize him as its master. As he celebrated his victory, the Starry Sky Stone began gathering starlight, and Ye Han sensed something was wrong.

• Ye Han sealed several hundred Creation Heaven Cubes, weakening the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda’s gold-and-silver runes and bringing its defenses to a stalemate.
• The Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda and Starry Sky Stone joined forces, but Ye Han used the Purple Cauldron to separate them and seal the pagoda’s runes.
• Ye Han expanded his blood-red runes across several thousand Creation Heaven Cubes and ordered the Heaven-Turning Treasure Pagoda to recognize him as its master.
• Ye Han subdued the pagoda with the Purple Cauldron and completed Blood-Drip Recognition, forming an absolute bloodline connection with it.
• The Starry Sky Stone suddenly erupted with runic light and gathered starlight overhead, making Ye Han suspect something was wrong.
