Chapter Summaries

He Pingsheng and Wu Dabao traveled through the Deadly Grounds in search of rare treasures until a Divine Lord Realm bird destroyed their Flying Boat. He Pingsheng bound the bird with a Mountain-Binding Talisman, then threatened it with a supreme-grade Desolate Thunder Divine Talisman and demanded compensation.

• He Pingsheng and Wu Dabao continued sharing gathered materials as they flew toward a valley of Heavenly Yellow Plums.
• A black-bodied, white-winged Divine Lord Realm bird caught up to He Pingsheng's Flying Boat and smashed it with its claw.
• Wu Dabao fled while He Pingsheng escaped the attack and used a Mountain-Binding Talisman to bind the bird's divine power and Divine Sense.
• He Pingsheng demanded compensation, and the bird threatened to kill him once its power returned.
• He Pingsheng showed the bird a supreme-grade Desolate Thunder Divine Talisman, frightening it into offering compensation.
• He Pingsheng demanded an identical Flying Boat at least as fast as the one the bird had destroyed.

He Pingsheng forced the defeated Divine Lord White Wing to become his mount and flew with her to the valley where the Heavenly Yellow Plum grew. He found the third-grade Divine Tree there, securing the route to the valuable fruit.

• He Pingsheng threatened White Wing with an array of Divine Talismans until she handed over her Divine Slave Mark and became his mount.
• He Pingsheng released White Wing’s restraints and ordered her to fly him straight ahead as fast as she could.
• He Pingsheng examined White Wing and learned she had been stuck at the twelfth layer of the Divine Lord Realm for over six thousand yuan.
• White Wing explained that Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pills would not help her until she took human form, while a fourth-grade Transformation Pill could work.
• After another day of flying, He Pingsheng and White Wing reached the valley marked on the map and found the third-grade Heavenly Yellow Plum Divine Tree.

He Pingsheng tested his strength against a fourth-grade python guarding a Purple-Skinned Plum Tree and defeated it without using Divine Talismans. After collecting most of the Heavenly Yellow Plums, he asked White Wing about Divine Artifact fragments and learned she possessed one containing Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.

• He Pingsheng stopped White Wing from fighting the Divine Lord Realm ninth-layer python and challenged it himself.
• He Pingsheng fought the python to a standstill, then used Void Swift Movement and Great Heavenly Wave Crushing Palm to wound it and force its surrender.
• He Pingsheng told White Wing to collect the Heavenly Yellow Plums, leaving a hundred for the python.
• He Pingsheng asked White Wing about Divine Artifact fragments, and she produced one that contained Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.

He Pingsheng obtained a large Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao Bell fragment from White Wing and later found another fragment marked on his map. When treasure light drew thousands of cultivators to the site, the light vanished and revealed a vast formation, just as the son of the Divine Emperor of the Nine Directions Divine Kingdom arrived and claimed the treasure.

• He Pingsheng claimed White Wing’s large fragment and summoned Purple Spirit and Red Spirit to absorb its Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.
• After months of travel, He Pingsheng spotted a golden map marker for a divine artifact fragment and directed White Wing toward it.
• He Pingsheng and White Wing saw treasure light rising from the marked site and hurried there, where thousands of cultivators had gathered.
• Cultivators of several realms tried and failed to enter the pillar of light, while He Pingsheng sensed someone whose cultivation he could not discern.
• The treasure light faded and revealed a vast formation membrane, then a man in purple robes arrived on a Divine Boat and declared the treasure his as the son of the Divine Emperor of the Nine Directions Divine Kingdom.

He Pingsheng tried to leave after recognizing the Crown Prince of the Nine Directions, but the crown prince forced everyone to help break a sixth-grade formation. The formation was breached, releasing a terrifying aura that rushed toward them.

• He Pingsheng withdrew from the grounds, accepted a ring from the Crown Prince of the Nine Directions, and was then ordered to stay and help break the formation.
• A Divine King from the Celestial Pivot Divine Kingdom defied the crown prince and tried to leave, but the crown prince's allies attacked and killed him.
• The Crown Prince of the Nine Directions ordered everyone to strike the Grand Array together, but the formation repelled their attacks and sent them flying backward.
• The three Divine Kings attacked the weakened formation and tore open a breach, from which a terrifying aura surged toward everyone.

He Pingsheng and White Wing fled when an Ancient Dark Taisui erupted from the abyss and swallowed nearly everyone nearby. After escaping its grasp with the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella and a drop of water containing the Divine Emperor's rules of Daoist law, they flew for four days and wondered whether the creature had survived.

• He Pingsheng mounted White Wing and fled as the formation collapsed and an enormous Ancient Dark Taisui emerged from the abyss.
• The Taisui split into countless fragments that pursued and swallowed cultivators, while the Crown Prince of the Nine Directions escaped with three Divine Kings.
• The Taisui's fragments engulfed He Pingsheng, but he opened the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella and broke free.
• He Pingsheng threw a drop of water containing the Divine Emperor's rules of Daoist law toward the Taisui and fled with White Wing as a celestial river surged against it.
• After flying for four days, He Pingsheng and White Wing stopped to recover, and White Wing asked whether the Ancient Dark Taisui was dead.

He Pingsheng and White Wing continued toward the Equality Zone while He Pingsheng discovered a recipe for a fourth-grade Transformation Pill that could help White Wing. The recipe required a bone-shaping blood pellet, which White Wing remembered seeing in the Dao Collapse and Yellow Fall Deadly Grounds but had not taken.

• Xuan Yi and the other Divine King warned the Crown Prince of the Nine Directions to conceal that they had released a Dark Taisui, and they claimed the slow-moving creature would not catch them.
• He Pingsheng and White Wing rested, restored their origin, and resumed flying toward the Equality Zone.
• He Pingsheng used a Disguise Talisman to hide his identity in case he encountered the Crown Prince and the fleeing Divine Kings.
• He Pingsheng opened the ring the Crown Prince had given him and found an alchemy classic containing a fourth-grade Transformation Pill recipe.
• He Pingsheng checked his ingredients and found that he lacked the bone-shaping blood pellet needed as a primary ingredient.
• White Wing told He Pingsheng that the bone-shaping blood pellet grew in the Dao Collapse and Yellow Fall Deadly Grounds and that she had once seen one.

He Pingsheng collected the remaining supplementary materials and studied alchemy while traveling deeper into the Dao Collapse and Yellow Fall Deadly Grounds. He found a large Divine Artifact fragment, whose primordial chaos purple qi could help him cultivate the Primordial Chaos Dao Body.

• He Pingsheng checked White Wing’s materials and confirmed that only a bone-shaping blood pellet remained, then enhanced the Vast Source Golden Core Record.
• He Pingsheng traveled for years without meeting the Crown Prince of the Nine Directions and learned to refine third-grade Golden Cores.
• He Pingsheng spotted a Divine Artifact fragment on the map and directed White Wing to a mountain range where it was buried deep in the rock.
• He Pingsheng located the fragment 636 zhang underground, and White Wing cut it free from the mountain.
• He Pingsheng released Red Spirit and Purple Spirit to condense the fragment’s primordial chaos purple qi, then explained the benefits of the Primordial Chaos Dao Body to White Wing.

He Pingsheng discovered a Demonic Path Origin and headed toward it, hoping to cultivate his own Demonic Path abilities and help Xin Baobao. Elsewhere, Su Hua and five companions became trapped on strange ground, where an unknown fourth-grade Daoist Law attacked her.

• He Pingsheng found a Demonic Path Origin on his map and learned from White Wing that Origins were often surrounded by Daoist Law traps.
• He Pingsheng flew toward the Origin because his Demonic Path Divine Abilities depended on Demonic Path Laws and Xin Baobao could also benefit from it.
• Su Hua and five companions were pulled from the air onto strange, desolate ground where they could not fly.
• Su Hua approached a faint treasure glow beside a rock and was bound by black tentacles that sealed her magic power.
• Su Hua's companions drove the tentacles away, then identified the trap as fourth grade but could not recognize its Daoist Law.

He Pingsheng found the demonic path origin’s location and agreed to join Su Hua’s formation, but sent White Wing in his place. White Wing was caught in a trap, revealing Su Hua’s plan to capture He Pingsheng.

• He Pingsheng arrived on White Wing and confirmed that his map marked a demonic path trap and origin nearby.
• He Pingsheng told Su Hua and the others about the map and identified the origin as part of the demonic path.
• Su Hua invited He Pingsheng to join the Northern Dipper Qilin Formation, assigning him the position beside a rock.
• He Pingsheng suspected a trap and gave his formation flag to White Wing, who was bound by black tendrils at the rock.
• Su Hua admitted the formation was a ruse and asked He Pingsheng to talk, while he questioned whether she had been trying to trap him.

He Pingsheng fought off Su Hua’s group with Mountain-Binding Talismans and the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella, but a demonic trap ensnared everyone. He rescued White Wing and escaped, leaving Su Hua and the others bound as the tentacles drained their power.

• Su Hua demanded He Pingsheng’s map and threatened him, so Old Qin attacked at her command.
• He Pingsheng incapacitated Old Qin and two other attackers with Mountain-Binding Talismans, then blocked a Divine Sense attack with the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella.
• Black tentacles erupted from underground and bound He Pingsheng, Su Hua, White Wing, and the others.
• He Pingsheng used Void Swift Movement to escape the tentacles, then entered them again and drew White Wing into the Primordial Purple Gold Staff before teleporting out with her.
• Su Hua begged He Pingsheng to save her and promised him her treasures and favors, but he left her bound and wished her luck breaking free.

He Pingsheng collected the rings of the six Divine Lord Realm cultivators killed by the Demonic Path trap and found enough ingredients to refine fourth-grade Transformation Pills. After a year of trying to break the trap with lightning and other methods, he used an enhanced pill to help White Wing transform, then gave her a Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pill to try for a breakthrough.

• He Pingsheng ignored Su Hua and the others' pleas, watched the Demonic Path tentacles kill them, and collected their rings.
• He Pingsheng found four sets of ingredients for fourth-grade Transformation Pills and refined waste pills to enhance in the Treasure-Gathering Basin.
• He Pingsheng tried to damage the Demonic Path Laws with the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella's lightning, White Wing's divine power, and the Primordial Purple Gold Staff and Purple Gold Gloves, but the trap remained intact.
• After a year, the Treasure-Gathering Basin produced twenty-four supreme-grade fourth-grade Transformation Pills, and He Pingsheng gave one to White Wing.
• White Wing swallowed the pill and transformed into a tall, middle-aged man; He Pingsheng gave her clothes and a low-grade Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pill to try for a Divine Venerable Realm breakthrough.

White Wing used the Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pill to reach the Divine Venerable Realm, allowing her to wield the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella against the Demonic Path Origin. After forcing the sentient origin to emerge, He Pingsheng learned it was fifth grade and demanded two pieces of its origin.

• White Wing swallowed a low-grade Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pill and successfully broke through to the first level of the Divine Venerable Realm.
• White Wing stabilized her cultivation, opened the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella, and unleashed lightning against the Demonic Path Origin beneath the ground.
• He Pingsheng ordered White Wing to keep attacking until the sentient voice surrendered and emerged as a black humanoid creature.
• He Pingsheng identified the creature's Daoist Law Origin as fifth grade and demanded two pieces of fifth-grade Demonic Path Origin.
• The creature first gave He Pingsheng two fourth-grade pieces, but agreed to give him the fifth-grade origin when he threatened another attack.

He Pingsheng spent more than six hundred years forming the Primordial Chaos Dao Body and mastering two Primordial Chaos divine abilities while cultivating Demonic Path Laws. He left seclusion with White Wing and continued toward the Equality Zone, only a few years away.

• Red Spirit and Purple Spirit revealed two masses of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, and He Pingsheng decided to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Dao Body before reaching the Equality Zone.
• He Pingsheng secluded himself in a valley and spent 233 years absorbing one mass of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi until his Primordial Chaos Dao Body was complete, doubling his combat strength.
• He Pingsheng cultivated Primordial Chaos Heavenly Secrets, mastered Primordial Chaos Power and Primordial Chaos Divine Power, and comprehended a trace of Demonic Path Laws over another three hundred-odd years.
• He Pingsheng emerged from seclusion and told White Wing to hurry toward the Equality Zone, which was three to five years away.
• At White Wing's request, He Pingsheng displayed his seven Divine Nails, which had turned purplish-red after being augmented with Primordial Chaos Power.

After cultivating the Primordial Chaos Dao Body, He Pingsheng encountered Wu Dabao enslaved by Divine Lord Heavenly Light and fought the old man. Heavenly Light retreated from He Pingsheng’s powerful attack, but a giant python suddenly emerged to the side.

• He Pingsheng and White Wing flew through Dao Collapse and Yellow Fall for four months before spotting Wu Dabao and Divine Lord Heavenly Light.
• Wu Dabao called himself Heavenly Light’s slave, and He Pingsheng demanded to know how he had become one.
• Heavenly Light attacked He Pingsheng, who shattered his phantom claw with the Primordial Purple Gold Staff and dodged his azure divine sword using Void Swift Movement.
• He Pingsheng smashed Heavenly Light’s black Shield with a staff strike infused with Primordial Chaos Power, forcing the old man to retreat.
• A giant python suddenly darted out from He Pingsheng’s left and roared.

He Pingsheng fought Divine Lord Heavenly Light and his Divine Lord Realm python, then killed them both. Wu Dabao’s slave mark dissolved, and White Wing began devouring the wounded python.

• Divine Lord Heavenly Light and his python attacked He Pingsheng, who shattered the nine suns with Great Heavenly Wave Crushing Palm and replenished his divine power with greed spring.
• He Pingsheng blocked Heavenly Light’s flying sword with the Five Brigades Marching Umbrella, but the python swallowed him; he tore his way out and struck Heavenly Light with the Primordial Purple Gold Staff.
• He Pingsheng bypassed Wu Dabao and killed Divine Lord Heavenly Light with his palm, then destroyed Heavenly Light’s escaping soul with a Divine Nail.
• Wu Dabao’s Divine Slave Mark shattered when his master died, freeing him, while the wounded python roared in the void.
• White Wing seized the python and began eating it, and He Pingsheng asked Wu Dabao how he felt.

He Pingsheng reassured Wu Dabao after killing Divine Lord Heavenly Light, then searched the dead man’s rings and discovered rare materials and Heavenly Amber Flowers. He recognized that the flowers might produce the heavenly amber pure dew needed for the Long Household’s butterfly cocoons and tested them in the Treasure-Gathering Basin.

• He Pingsheng told Wu Dabao that Divine Lord Heavenly Light’s death would not affect him, and Wu Dabao praised He Pingsheng for defeating a Divine Lord and taming White Wing.
• Wu Dabao offered to become He Pingsheng’s divine slave, then tearfully revealed why he had called himself Divine Lord Heavenly Light’s maidservant.
• He Pingsheng searched Divine Lord Heavenly Light’s two rings and found supreme-grade divine gold, fifth-grade artifact materials, and several unusual flowers.
• Wu Dabao identified the five-petaled Heavenly Amber Male Flower as a potency-enhancing flower and explained that six-petaled female flowers had a similar use.
• He Pingsheng connected the Heavenly Amber Flowers to the heavenly amber pure dew required by the Long Household’s butterfly cocoons and tested the flowers in the Treasure-Gathering Basin.
• He Pingsheng learned that Heavenly Amber Female Flowers could condense fourth-grade heavenly amber pure dew, which could restore a Divine Lord’s depleted divine spark.

He Pingsheng spared the injured python, who became his new servant Bluefish and shared what she knew about the Heavenly Amber Male Flower. He set off with Bluefish, Wu Dabao, and White Wing toward its distant gathering place, though Bluefish warned Heavenly Light had already taken all the flowers.

• He Pingsheng stopped White Wing from killing the python and offered her a pill in exchange for helping him.
• The python explained her bond with Heavenly Light and agreed to serve He Pingsheng as her new master.
• White Wing healed the python, though her cultivation fell after White Wing consumed some of her origin, and the python transformed into a girl named Bluefish.
• Bluefish gave He Pingsheng her Divine Slave Mark and showed him a map to the Heavenly Amber Male Flower's location.
• White Wing said the journey would take three years, and Bluefish warned that Heavenly Light had already gathered all the flowers there.
• He Pingsheng, Bluefish, and Wu Dabao flew on White Wing toward the site, where Bluefish said seven or eight Sky Amber plants remained.

He Pingsheng learned the uses and flowering cycle of the Heavenly Amber Cattails, then found the seven plants in a canyon. He left Bluefish and Wu Dabao to guard them until they bloomed while he continued toward the Equality Zone.

• He Pingsheng searched Divine Lord Heavenly Light's jade slips and found records describing the Heavenly Amber Cattail, its male and female flowers, and the pure dew it produced.
• He Pingsheng and his companions reached a canyon where seven Heavenly Amber Cattails grew beside a great river, but decided not to risk transplanting them.
• Bluefish offered to stay and collect the male and female dew when the plants bloomed, and Wu Dabao also chose to remain because the pressure was straining his divine sense.
• He Pingsheng, Bluefish, and Wu Dabao spent several days setting up a fourth-grade illusion formation that concealed the plants and surrounding area.
• He Pingsheng gave Bluefish and Wu Dabao tokens and the address of the He Family, then told them to leave with the pure dew if danger arose.

He Pingsheng and White Wing reached the fluctuating edge of the Equality Zone, where their cultivation and Divine Spark attributes changed as they moved in and out. He Pingsheng discovered thirty-six Divine Apertures and then found thirty-six additional dark apertures connected to his sea of consciousness.

• He Pingsheng and White Wing endured the growing life-and-death pressure and entered the Equality Zone, where He Pingsheng's cultivation rose to the Divine Lord Realm sixth layer and White Wing's was suppressed to the twelfth layer.
• White Wing explained how the Equality Zone adjusted cultivators' levels, then warned that He Pingsheng's revealed spatial Divine Spark attribute might not reflect his permanent one.
• He Pingsheng and White Wing's cultivation reverted when they drifted outside the unstable zone, then rose again as they flew deeper in, and He Pingsheng's Divine Spark attribute changed to gravity.
• He Pingsheng examined his Divine Apertures and found thirty-six, then discovered thirty-six dark apertures branching toward his sea of consciousness.
