Chapter Summaries

After a second transmigration, Cao Bing found himself in the world of Stellar Transformation as the heir to a failing martial arts hall in Yanjing City, with a complete rubbing of the Tongtian Diagram. He knew the diagram’s secret but doubted he could reach the Xiantian Stage required to use it without the resources or advantages Qin Yu had possessed.

• Cao Bing recalled his first transmigration to Devouring Starry Sky and how he had spent nearly a million to reach the peak of advanced trainee level, only to remain unable to become a Martial Artist.
• After noticing a point of light in his mind, Cao Bing probed it and was overwhelmed by a flood of memories that transported him into a new life.
• Cao Bing learned that he had become the heir to a martial arts hall in Yanjing City, where the master had died and only Cao Bing and a loyal old servant remained.
• Cao Bing recognized that he was in Stellar Transformation and worried that Lin Meng and Hongmeng might notice his arrival.
• Cao Bing retrieved the complete rubbing copy of the Tongtian Diagram from a hidden compartment and realized he knew how to decipher it.
• Cao Bing concluded that using the Tongtian Diagram required reaching the Xiantian Stage, a goal that seemed impossible without sufficient resources.

• Cao Bing gritted his teeth and plunged his consciousness into the light spot, gambling on another transmigration.

Cao Bing confirmed that he could travel between the Devouring Starry Sky World and the Stellar Transformation World, gaining a hundredfold time advantage, then tested the Tongtian Diagram in his Devouring Starry Sky body without success. At school, he told Luo Feng that he planned to suspend his studies and take the July quasi-warrior test.

• Cao Bing returned home and circulated the Yanhuo Jue until he formed a faint trace of internal energy and guided it back to his dantian.
