Chapter Summaries

He Pingsheng sent Gu Baiping and Qianzhu into the Sea of Wu Wang to search while he waited on a deserted island. When a Demon Race man and a woman arrived, He Pingsheng tried to bluff them into surrendering, then singled out the woman as a beauty he wanted for a maidservant.

• He Pingsheng gave Gu Baiping Spirit Pivot Pill ingredients, and she spent a month refining enough pills for the underwater search.
• He Pingsheng agreed to wait on a nearby deserted island while Gu Baiping and Qianzhu descended into the sea with the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao Bell.
• After more than a year alone, He Pingsheng saw a man and a woman land on the island.
• The woman cautioned her Divine King Realm companion against attacking He Pingsheng before they had assessed him.
• He Pingsheng claimed to be a Divine Emperor and demanded their Divine Slave Marks, but the woman questioned his story.
• He Pingsheng called the man useless and ordered the woman to kneel and become his maidservant.

He Pingsheng forced Zheng Honglu to surrender her Divine Slave Mark and made the eighth-layer Divine King his servant. A year later, Qianzhu and Gu Baiping returned from searching the seabed without finding the Witch Emperor’s corpse, and the group debated whether Zheng Honglu should join the next search.

• He Pingsheng wagered that he could kill Zheng Honglu’s junior brother with a thought, and the man died as soon as Zheng Honglu accepted.
• Zheng Honglu surrendered her Divine Slave Mark after He Pingsheng threatened her, then discovered he was a third-layer Divine Lord and became his servant.
• He Pingsheng learned Zheng Honglu cultivated Incense Power and told her to stop, promising to help her reach the Divine Emperor Realm.
• A year later, Qianzhu and Gu Baiping returned in the divine bell, and He Pingsheng introduced Zheng Honglu as his servant.
• Qianzhu and Gu Baiping reported that they had not found the Witch Emperor’s corpse, and Gu Baiping suggested Zheng Honglu help search the seabed while Qianzhu objected to leaving He Pingsheng alone.

He Pingsheng and his companions spent nearly two hundred thousand years searching the Sea of Wu Wang for Qianzhu’s ancestor, a Witch Emperor. After finding the corpse, Qianzhu warned that its heart might still beat and its blood still flow, so they needed to avoid breaking it open carelessly.

• He Pingsheng ordered Gu Baiping and Zheng Honglu to join him and Qianzhu on the next seabed search, and had Gu Baiping buy Spirit Pivot Pills.
• He Pingsheng gave Zheng Honglu Primordial Chaos Purple Qi and a Body Refining method, and she formed a Primordial Chaos Dao Body after roughly three hundred years, gaining more apertures.
• Gu Baiping expanded the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao Bell, and the four descended into the Sea of Wu Wang to search for the Witch Emperor’s corpse.
• The four searched for 196,000 years before Qianzhu identified an underwater mountain range as her ancestor’s body.
• Qianzhu warned that the Witch Emperor’s heart might still be beating and his blood still flowing, so they should not let seawater flood into his body.

He Pingsheng and the others learned how to enter the Witch Emperor’s corpse through its blood apertures, and he discovered that he had thirty-six blood apertures of his own. After mapping the corpse’s enormous shape, they set out to find the Phoenix Spring Aperture.

• Qianzhu explained that Witch Race blood apertures kept seawater out and revealed that the Witch Emperor’s divine spark had opened all thirty-six of his apertures.
• Qianzhu asked He Pingsheng to leave the Witch Emperor’s divine blood to her so she could one day become a Witch Emperor, and he agreed.
• He Pingsheng recognized that his thirty-six dark apertures were blood apertures, giving him the potential to cultivate Witch Race divine abilities.
• He Pingsheng, Qianzhu, Gu Baiping, and Zheng Honglu circled the seabed mountain six times and mapped the Witch Emperor’s sideways-lying body.
• The group identified the Phoenix Spring Aperture as the nearest blood aperture and prepared to open it and enter.

He Pingsheng and his companions entered the Witch Emperor’s body through the Phoenix Spring Aperture, intending to reach the Divine Spark. After hundreds of uncontrollable trips through the blood vessels, they finally drifted onto the route toward the Divine Spark in the Witch Emperor’s head.

• He Pingsheng’s group found the Phoenix Spring Aperture and broke through the mountain to enter it in the Supreme Dao Bell.
• The Blood Aperture closed behind them as they explored the Witch Emperor’s body and saw that his golden blood was still flowing.
• Qianzhu realized they had entered an outward-flowing vessel leading toward the sole of the foot, so the group followed the blood back toward the heart.
• Gu Baiping failed to control the bell through the heart’s powerful currents, and the group repeatedly drifted along wrong routes.
• After 436 attempts, the Supreme Dao Bell finally entered the correct blood vessel leading toward the Divine Spark in the Witch Emperor’s head.

He Pingsheng absorbed Lightning Power from the Witch Emperor’s Divine Spark until it purged his curse and restored his abilities, while advancing to Divine Lord Realm Fourth Layer. He and the three maidservants escaped the emperor’s corpse, but his attempt to store it in the Heaven and Earth Pearl failed.

• He Pingsheng repeatedly guided the Supreme Dao Bell near the Divine Spark and absorbed strands of Lightning Power to weaken his curse.
• After more than seven hundred thousand years, He Pingsheng absorbed the last Lightning Power, purged the Curse Power, and recovered his divine power and Divine Sense.
• Gu Baiping discovered that He Pingsheng had broken through to Divine Lord Realm Fourth Layer, and he resolved to leave with Qianzhu Household patriarch’s corpse.
• He Pingsheng and the three maidservants waited for the Supreme Dao Bell to reach a weak point in a blood vessel, then rode its flow through the Blood Aperture and out of the Witch Emperor’s corpse.
• He Pingsheng tried to store the corpse in the Heaven and Earth Pearl, but its space was too small.

He Pingsheng moved Wu Nana, Zhu Dong, and Yinpan Ying into the green-skinned gourd, collected the Witch Emperor’s corpse, and secluded himself to refine his artifacts. While refining the Book of Seven Curses, he witnessed a mysterious conversation that left him questioning why his copy had only twelve pages when a woman in the vision said it had always contained twenty-three.

• He Pingsheng sent Wu Nana, Zhu Dong, and Yinpan Ying into the green-skinned gourd to tend its treasures.
• He Pingsheng collected the Witch Emperor’s corpse in the Primordial Purple Gold Staff and returned with Gu Baiping and Qianzhu to the island.
• He Pingsheng entered seclusion, refined the Supreme Dao Bell, and began refining the Book of Seven Curses.
• The Book of Seven Curses pulled He Pingsheng’s Divine Sense into a strange space, where he overheard two voices discussing Cause and Effect, the Sovereign, and the book’s pages.
• He Pingsheng returned from the vision shaken and wondered whether pages had been lost from his twelve-page Book of Seven Curses.

He Pingsheng investigated why the Book of Seven Curses had fewer pages and why its visions appeared only to him, then spent four hundred years refining all 108 restrictions. The book’s artifact spirit finally spoke to him and revealed that eleven people had become its slaves since it last awoke.

• He Pingsheng had Gu Baiping and Zheng Honglu refine the Book of Seven Curses, but neither woman saw the mysterious vision he had experienced.
• He Pingsheng refined the book’s first layer again and heard the same conversation, then wondered about its missing pages, Taisui, and why only he could hear it.
• He Pingsheng spent four hundred years refining all 108 restrictions on the Book of Seven Curses.
• He Pingsheng’s Divine Sense entered the gray space, where the artifact spirit addressed him and asked how many pages remained.
• He Pingsheng told the artifact spirit that the book had twelve pages, and it said eleven people had become slaves to the book since its last awakening.

He Pingsheng learned more about the Book of Seven Curses, then discovered that Baili Mo was wanted across the Divine Realm for possessing it. Worried the hunt could endanger his family, he ran into Wei Zhiyi in Begonia City.

• A mysterious voice warned He Pingsheng that the Book of Seven Curses was being used incorrectly, but refused to answer his questions about its nature and origins.
• He Pingsheng gave the Book of Seven Curses to Gu Baiping to remove his traces, then decided to visit the Begonia Divine Kingdom to seek the Origin of the Great Dao of Blood Art.
• In Begonia City, He Pingsheng saw a bounty notice naming Baili Mo as the holder of the Book of Seven Curses and learned that his own aura was being used to identify Baili Mo.
• He Pingsheng concealed his aura with the Hidden Dragon Trace-Concealing Art, but feared that people who had met him could still expose his family and the Tao Household.
• Wei Zhiyi suddenly appeared before He Pingsheng and worried aloud that killing him would not erase the people who knew He Pingsheng's aura.

He Pingsheng learned that the Divine Emperors’ warrant for him had been issued six days earlier and was offered a chance to surrender the Book of Seven Curses at a gathering in the Begonia Emperor Palace. Yu Yingxian assured him his family was safe and invited him to attend in three days, while Wei Zhiyi asked to go along.

• He Pingsheng sealed himself and Wei Zhiyi inside a barrier and learned that three thousand Divine Emperors had issued a warrant for him six days earlier.
• Wei Zhiyi suggested surrendering the Book of Seven Curses at a gathering attended by many Divine Emperors, and He Pingsheng questioned how he could guarantee his safety.
• He Pingsheng discovered that Wei Zhiyi had reached the Divine Venerable Realm Second Layer after taking a Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pill and a Shakyamuni Divine Fruit.
• Yu Yingxian appeared, assured He Pingsheng that his family was safe, and asked him to hand over the Book of Seven Curses.
• Yu Yingxian gave He Pingsheng a golden token for a Dao discussion gathering at the Begonia Emperor Palace in three days, where more than forty Divine Emperors would attend.
• He Pingsheng decided to attend, and Wei Zhiyi asked him to take him along.

He Pingsheng left Gu Baiping and the others to attend the Emperors' Dao Discussion Ceremony at the Emperor Palace, hoping to hand over a dangerous item before the gathered Divine Emperors. After Yin Xiaoyue helped him past the guards, he entered the vast hall where the ceremony would be held.

• He Pingsheng gave Gu Baiping the green-skinned gourd and departed for the Emperor Palace with his golden token.
• A gate guard refused to recognize He Pingsheng's token, so He Pingsheng struck him with the Primordial Purple Gold Staff and faced the other guards.
• Yin Xiaoyue intervened, recognized the token, and escorted He Pingsheng up the divine mountain.
• A woman at the floating peak verified He Pingsheng's token and led him to the great hall.
• He Pingsheng entered the hall and saw thousands of meditation cushions and forty-seven raised platforms bearing lotus dais.

He Pingsheng attended the Assembly of Emperors Discussing the Dao, where Divine Emperor Begonia opened a trading fair before the discussion began.

• He Pingsheng stood and claimed he possessed an extraordinary treasure, asking the Divine Emperors to guarantee fair compensation.
• Divine Emperor Begonia swore that He Pingsheng would receive compensation matching the treasure's worth and asked him to reveal it.

He Pingsheng offered the Book of Seven Curses to the Divine Emperors in exchange for two ninth-grade divine artifacts, a method to turn blood into recently departed souls, and a third item. After comparing their offers, he chose Divine Emperor Begonia’s deal and handed him the book.

• He Pingsheng revealed the Book of Seven Curses and invited the Divine Emperors to bid for it.
• Divine Emperor Begonia warned that the book was a dangerous source of calamity and urged He Pingsheng to accept an offer.
• He Pingsheng asked for two ninth-grade divine artifacts, a Blood into Soul method, and a third item of the bidders’ choice.
• A Divine Emperor’s offer included a fish, allowing He Pingsheng to realize the bidder was Big-Mouthed Fish.
• The Divine Emperors submitted more than a dozen offers, but none included an existing Blood into Soul method.
• He Pingsheng accepted Divine Emperor Begonia’s offer and gave him the Book of Seven Curses.

After Divine Emperor Begonia secured the Book of Seven Curses, Wang Dun disguised as Wang Ping demonstrated the Great Dao of Calculation and made the book vanish. Begonia demanded its return, but Wang Ping began to show a second Divine Ability.

• Divine Emperor Begonia claimed the Book of Seven Curses after the other emperors accepted the trade, and he gave He Pingsheng two ninth-grade divine artifacts.
• The female Auxiliary God of the Great Dao of Calculation asked Wang Dun, disguised as Wang Ping, to demonstrate his path’s Divine Abilities.
• Wang Ping asked Begonia to hold the Book of Seven Curses so he could use it in his demonstration, and Begonia agreed while reinforcing it with Spatial Daoist Law.
• Wang Ping used Additive Inverse, making the Book of Seven Curses disappear and leaving a red outline in its place.
• The female Auxiliary God explained that Begonia now owed Wang Ping a Book of Seven Curses, and Begonia threatened him before Wang Ping offered to demonstrate a second Divine Ability.

Wang Dun used the Great Dao of Calculation to turn the phantom Book of Seven Curses into a real book, then escaped with it while Divine Emperor Begonia tried to stop him. Begonia learned that Equation and Wang Ping were fictitious, ordered a search for Wang Ping, and left without finishing his promises to He Pingsheng.

• Wang Dun invited the Divine Emperors and others to try touching the phantom Book of Seven Curses, but none of them could reach it.
• Wang Dun used Absolute Value to turn the phantom into a real Book of Seven Curses, took it, and escaped with Flash Step as Divine Emperor Begonia prepared to attack.
• Divine Emperor Begonia discovered that Equation was an illusion and that the Great Dao of Calculation had no Auxiliary God named Equation or genius named Wang Ping, then ordered a search for Wang Ping.
• Divine Emperor Begonia told He Pingsheng the completed transaction and two Divine Artifacts were his, but he would fulfill the rest of his promises only after recovering the book.
• Yu Yingxian praised He Pingsheng's cleverness, reminded him about their meeting at Flowing Wave Mountain, and left.

After escaping the Begonia Divine Kingdom, He Pingsheng returned to Spring City and refined a Ninth Grade saber into a powerful Divine Ability while continuing to cultivate. Tens of thousands of years later, he released his companions, arranged new Daoist Law fruit crops, and accepted Yinpan Ying’s Slave Mark without intending to enslave her.

• Li Yueren welcomed He Pingsheng and gave him the incomplete Freshly Departed Soul Blood Scripture, which her lineage had spent tens of millions of years searching for.
• He Pingsheng thanked Li Yueren and proposed studying the scripture and refining a Blood into Soul formation at the Tao Household, offering to cultivate Life Hawthorn Seeds there and split the future proceeds equally.
• Li Yueren agreed and arranged for He Pingsheng to stay at Tao Yaoyao's cultivation grounds, delighting both women.

He Pingsheng reached the divine lord realm sixth layer and began studying a way to turn the Freshly Departed Soul Blood Scripture into a formation.

• Divine Emperor Hundred Flowers demanded that He Pingsheng swear never to oppose him or harm his lineage, but He Pingsheng refused, and Qianzhu and Zheng Honglu intervened to protect him.
