Chapter Summaries

He Pingsheng fought Yao Qiyu, breaking through his ice Dao Domain and injuring him with a series of attacks. He left Yao Qiyu writhing after Purple Spirit landed a concealed Great Reincarnation Seal, then summoned an eighth-grade Heaven-Rending Divine Talisman as a precaution.

• Yao Qiyu froze He Pingsheng with Freeze Heaven and Earth and his Ice Restriction Dao Domain, stopping his Heaven-Opening Punch.
• He Pingsheng used Chaos Swift Movement to escape the Dao Domain, shattered it with Heavenly Domain Slash, and struck Yao Qiyu with Heaven-Opening Punch.
• He Pingsheng unleashed Heavenly Demon Divine Light and Divine Sense Nails, but Yao Qiyu withstood the attacks and blocked a second volley with a Divine Sense Shield.
• While Yao Qiyu defended against the apparent Divine Sense Nails, Purple Spirit secretly struck his sea of consciousness with a Great Reincarnation Seal, leaving him trembling and writhing.
• He Pingsheng summoned an eighth-grade supreme-grade Heaven-Rending Divine Talisman because his Daoist law and divine sense were depleted and Dao Lord Flower Pavilion was nearby.

He Pingsheng defeated Yao Qiyu, then demanded that he return Luo Bingyao before they judged the dispute. After hearing Luo Bingyao’s account, He Pingsheng declared her actions justified, while Dao Lord Flower Pavilion urged Yao Qiyu to avoid destroying his household over the dead.

• He Pingsheng restored his divine sense while Yao Qiyu suffered under the Great Reincarnation Seal, and Dao Lord Flower Pavilion gave He Pingsheng a Heavenly Demon Divine Pill.
• After three days, Yao Qiyu admitted defeat, and He Pingsheng insisted he honor their agreement by returning Luo Bingyao.
• Yao Qiyu summoned Luo Bingyao, and He Pingsheng removed her Immortal-Binding Rope and asked her to explain the deaths in the Yao Household.
• Luo Bingyao recounted how the Yao Household had insulted her master and attacked her, and He Pingsheng said she had been right to kill them.
• Dao Lord Flower Pavilion urged Yao Qiyu to let the matter rest rather than risk his household and clan over those who had already died.

He Pingsheng settled the Yao Household dispute, then taught the Demonic Realm how to draw a long-distance Message Transmission Immortal Talisman. His teaching brought him Heavenly Dao Merit and drew the attention of the four Demonic Sages, with Shang Xihong appearing to question him.

• Yao Qiyu agreed that the Yao Household's seventh young master would die and swore not to seek revenge, while He Pingsheng agreed to lift Yao Qiyu's Restriction and return the Dao Origin corpse.
• Luo Bingyao revealed that she had transformed the corpse's appearance and hidden it in her bracelet space, and He Pingsheng used it to make Immortal Talisman Paper.
• He Pingsheng returned the corpse, removed Yao Qiyu's Restriction, and warned him to keep the Yao Household from encroaching on the Great Void Sect for ten thousand years.
• He Pingsheng asked Dao Lord Flower Pavilion to announce that he would teach the Demonic Realm to draw a talisman capable of transmitting messages across vast distances.
• He Pingsheng taught the talisman method at Flower Pavilion Square and received a greater share of Heavenly Dao Merit than he had in the Immortal Realm.
• Four Demonic Sages opened their eyes in the void, and Shang Xihong appeared above He Pingsheng and asked whether he had obtained the merit.

Shang Xihong told He Pingsheng about the Demon God's Heart and the possibility that a hidden Fourth Realm existed beyond the three known realms. She left him with a chance to pursue the heart's secrets if he could reach the dao origin realm in time.

• He Pingsheng met Shang Xihong in the void and explained that his Message Transmission Immortal Talisman had earned him merit.
• Shang Xihong said she had upgraded his chaos-devouring cultivation technique to middle grade heaven tier and offered to force him into the dao origin realm, but He Pingsheng refused.
• Shang Xihong told He Pingsheng that the Demon God's Heart would appear in about ten thousand years and could only be entered by cultivators at the dao origin realm.
• He Pingsheng said he could not reach that realm in time, but Shang Xihong explained that the heart concerned every peerless prodigy.
• Shang Xihong noted that the three known realms held only twenty-seven of the thirty-six pieces of chaos order and said the Sages and Demonic Saints suspected a Fourth Realm existed.
• He Pingsheng guessed that the Demon God's Heart was the Fourth Realm, then realized his mistake because dao origin cultivators had entered it before.

Shang Xihong told He Pingsheng about the Demon God's Heart, its ten-thousand-year opening, and the essence blood and Daoist laws within it. He Pingsheng refused her offer to raise his cultivation, prepared talismans and resources, then spent ten thousand years in seclusion without breaking through a layer of Dao obstacles.

• Shang Xihong explained that the Demon God's Heart appeared in the Immortal Realm and Demonic Realm at the same time, opened to Dao Origin cultivators, and could not be used to travel between the realms.
• He Pingsheng considered whether Wang Dun and Han Houzhi could reach Dao Origin in time, and decided he would not force his cultivation higher to enter the heart.
• He Pingsheng returned to his Daoist grounds, refined talisman paper, and made 142 eighth-grade supreme-grade Heaven-Rending Divine Talismans.
• He Pingsheng enhanced divine blood and eighth-grade chaos origin, expanded the Yin Void World, and used the Chaos Dao-Devouring Scripture to absorb the origin.
• After ten thousand years of seclusion, He Pingsheng remained at the seventh layer of Great All-Encompassing Golden Immortal and had not broken through a single layer of Dao obstacles.

He Pingsheng traveled to the Demon God's Heart, but the barrier repelled him because his cultivation was not high enough. He learned that the heart would officially open in about three months and left after seeing a female cultivator flirt with the little fatty.

• He Pingsheng left seclusion and headed for the Demon God's Heart, hoping to gain insight despite not being able to enter.
• He Pingsheng reached the heart and was thrown back when he tried to touch its barrier.
• A plump Great All-Encompassing Golden Immortal told He Pingsheng that only Dao Origin cultivators could enter the barrier.
• A purple-robed cultivator named New Moon said the Demon God's Heart would open in about three months, then flirted with the little fatty, whose Daoist name was Golden Spear.
• He Pingsheng left the pair and reflected that his appearance was utterly unremarkable.

He Pingsheng failed to enter the Demon God's Heart barrier until he used a Disguise Card to take on Dao Lord Azure Lotus's Dao Origin cultivation. Inside, he enhanced a Netherworld Scythe and Supreme Profound Immortal Apricots while waiting for the heart to open.

• He Pingsheng tried several Daoist Laws, formations, and Divine Abilities to cross the barrier, but each attempt failed.
• He Pingsheng remembered Wang Dun's Disguise Card, enhanced it in the Treasure-Gathering Basin, and used it to disguise himself as Dao Lord Azure Lotus.
• He Pingsheng's disguise gave him Dao Origin realm twelfth-layer cultivation, allowing him to enter the barrier without being detected.
• He Pingsheng waited inside the barrier for the Demon God's Heart to open in three months and enhanced Shang Xihong's Netherworld Scythe into two copies.
• He Pingsheng enhanced his Supreme Profound Immortal Apricots, doubling their number and improving their ability to raise cultivation or break through a Flesh Barrier.

He Pingsheng searched for an entrance to the Demon God's Heart and met Zither Player, who escorted him to a crowded entrance. There he spotted Xin Baobao, who had reached the Dao Origin Realm and immediately attacked him.

• He Pingsheng flew through the void searching for an entrance to the Demon God's Heart and encountered Zither Player, who believed he came from the Flower Pavilion Demonic Domain.
• Zither Player told He Pingsheng that blood vessels served as entrances and exits, then opened a Void Passage to take him to the second-largest entrance.
• He Pingsheng waited at the entrance with Zither Player, who offered to protect him and gave him seven-revolution pills for his injured Divine Sense.
• About a month later, He Pingsheng saw Xin Baobao flying through the void and realized she had reached the Dao Origin Realm.
• Xin Baobao recognized He Pingsheng as Azure Lotus, drew her saber, and slashed at his head.

He Pingsheng’s disguise fell when Xin Baobao attacked him, revealing that he was a Great All-Encompassing Golden Immortal inside the Demon God’s Heart. He secured himself and Xin Baobao behind two formations as other cultivators grew suspicious and greedy, then learned she had entered the Dao Origin Realm three hundred years earlier.

• Xin Baobao struck at the disguised He Pingsheng with Heavenly Soul Slash, and he escaped with Chaos Swift Movement as his disguise collapsed.
• Xin Baobao’s saber energy severely injured Immortal Maiden Zither Player, and He Pingsheng apologized and offered her pills and essence blood.
• He Pingsheng revealed that he was a Great All-Encompassing Golden Immortal, drawing questions from the surrounding Dao Lords, while Xin Baobao stood guard over him.
• He Pingsheng placed two eighth-grade formations around himself and Xin Baobao, blocking outside attacks and divine sense, as the fat woman stirred suspicion that he possessed a rare treasure.
• He Pingsheng asked Xin Baobao when she had entered the Dao Origin Realm, and she said it had happened three hundred years earlier after her Dao Domain formed.

As the Demon God's Heart neared its opening, Zhen Yu warned He Pingsheng about the Heavenly Dao Torrent and offered to protect him in exchange for the method he used to enter the barrier. He Pingsheng traded that information for a divine ability and showed Zhen Yu his remaining Disguise Card to prove his account.

• After He Pingsheng and Xin Baobao put away their formation, Zhen Yu approached and explained how the Heavenly Dao Torrent could sweep cultivators out of the barrier.
• Zhen Yu offered to protect He Pingsheng during the torrent if he revealed how he had entered the barrier, but He Pingsheng said he could handle it himself and asked for something valuable in exchange.
• Zhen Yu gave He Pingsheng a Jade Slip containing the divine ability Myriad Laws Convergence and Transformation, and he agreed to tell her his method.
• He Pingsheng explained that he had entered using a Disguise Immortal Talisman that let him assume another person's appearance but exposed his true identity if he used divine abilities or attacked.
• Zhen Yu accused He Pingsheng of deceiving her, so he produced his remaining Disguise Card and invited her to inspect it with her divine sense.

He Pingsheng proved to Dao Lord Zhen Yu that he had entered the formation using a Disguise Immortal Talisman, then refused her trade offers. When the Demon God's Heart opened, he and Xin Baobao faced the torrent of Daoist Laws pouring from within.

• He Pingsheng showed Dao Lord Zhen Yu his Disguise Card and explained how he had used it to enter the barrier as Daoist Azure Lotus.
• Zhen Yu asked to trade for the card, but He Pingsheng rejected her Seventh Grade Immortal Artifact and showed her his own collection.
• Zhen Yu left, and He Pingsheng warned Xin Baobao to be careful when the Demon God's Heart opened.
• The white vortex collapsed half an hour later, sending a vast torrent of Daoist Laws out through the blood vessel and sweeping nearby cultivators away.
• He Pingsheng held his ground with a punch, while Xin Baobao was driven back ten thousand zhang before steadying herself and advancing upstream toward him.

He Pingsheng sheltered Xin Baobao, Zither Player, and dozens of Immortals from the torrent of Heavenly Dao while the formation opened toward the Demon God's Heart. After the others entered, He Pingsheng remained behind with Xin Baobao and chose not to pursue a conflict with the surviving man.

• He Pingsheng stood against the torrent and rescued Zither Player with his Primordial Purple Gold Staff, revealing his real name to her.
• He Pingsheng allowed the Immortals swept toward him to take shelter behind him as they waited for the torrent to stop.
• He Pingsheng refused to protect the fat female Immortal who had tried to turn others against him, then blasted her outside the formation when she attacked him.
• The torrent stopped, and the Immortals sheltering behind He Pingsheng raced toward the Demon God's Heart.
• Zither Player entered the Demon God's Heart, while He Pingsheng told Xin Baobao to let the remaining man go and avoid adding more Cause and Effect.

He Pingsheng entered Pangu’s Heart but was separated from his disciple, Xin Baobao. After a Dao Origin Seventh Layer lord tried to kill him and seize his secrets, He Pingsheng killed him with a Heaven-Rending Divine Talisman and captured his soul.

• He Pingsheng entered the Demon God's Heart with Xin Baobao, but the mysterious entrance sent them to different places.
• Dao Lord Tianqi explained that entrants landed in separate blood vessels and could leave by flying back along one.
• Zither Player waited for He Pingsheng, then went deeper into the heart after he told her to go ahead.
• He Pingsheng noticed the disguised man from the earlier pair and learned that the man blamed him for his Dao Companion being expelled from the barrier.
• The man attacked He Pingsheng with a Soul Banner and demanded that he reveal his secrets, but He Pingsheng used a Heaven-Rending Divine Talisman to kill him.
• He Pingsheng bound and sealed the man's soul, collected his corpse and possessions, and discovered that the Soul Banner was an Eighth Grade Demonic Path divine weapon.

He Pingsheng reached the heart of the Demon God's Heart, where Dao Lords gathered to study its Daoist Law and absorb the blood below. He discovered that the law had already been refined by someone else, meaning he could devour it without becoming entangled in Cause and Effect.

• He Pingsheng reached the enormous heart chamber and reunited with Xin Baobao among thousands of Dao Origin Dao Lords.
• Zhen Yu recognized Xin Baobao's exceptional Fortune, questioned how He Pingsheng had withstood the Heavenly Dao Torrent, and explained the chamber's Daoist Law and blood pool.
• He Pingsheng wondered whether the Demon God's four heart chambers corresponded to four realms, then he and Xin Baobao split up to explore.
• Xin Baobao descended toward the sea of blood while He Pingsheng entered the colorful cloud of Daoist Law.
• He Pingsheng used the Chaos Dao-Devouring Scripture and realized he could absorb the already-refined Daoist Law without entangling himself in Cause and Effect.

He Pingsheng entered the Demon God's Heart to absorb its refined Daoist laws and advance his cultivation, eventually reaching a bottleneck at the great all-encompassing golden immortal eleventh layer. After leaving the laws behind, he descended toward the heart chamber's sea of blood and discovered it was far greater than he had expected.

• He Pingsheng searched through the heart's vast mass of Daoist laws and found chaos Daoist law only deeper inside.
• He Pingsheng absorbed the refined chaos Daoist laws for three months and broke through the Dao obstacle to the great all-encompassing golden immortal eighth layer.
• He Pingsheng cultivated for six thousand-odd years, advanced from the seventh layer to the eleventh, raised his divine sense to the tenth layer, refined a Netherworld Scythe, and created Chaos Heaven-Opening Fist.
• He Pingsheng discovered he could not take the heart's Daoist laws with him, so he left the mass of laws and descended toward the sea of blood.
• He Pingsheng saw a vast sea of golden divine blood where countless people endured its pain while refining their bodies.

He Pingsheng entered the ancient deity’s sea of blood to refine his body, while discovering that the essence blood could upgrade his Primordial Purple Gold Staffs and be stored in his Immortal Treasure-Gathering Basin. After 2,700 years, he had advanced his body refining and divine sense, and Xin Baobao returned to the Blood Pool after breaking through to Dao origin third layer.

• He Pingsheng descended into the sea of blood and began refining his body with the Chaos Golden Scripture.
• Purple Spirit and Red Spirit explained that the staffs could absorb the ancient deity’s blood, so He Pingsheng sent both Primordial Purple Gold Staffs into the pool.
• He Pingsheng found that the Immortal Treasure-Gathering Basin could collect and store the essence blood, unlike the staffs’ and Netherworld Scythe’s treasure spaces.
• While refining his body, He Pingsheng cultivated the Great All-Encompassing Chapter of the Zhurong Spirit-Kindling Art for 2,700 years, raising his divine sense to the eleventh layer and his body refining to great all-encompassing golden immortal fourth layer.
• The Primordial Purple Gold Staffs advanced to roughly eighth grade immortal artifacts, and Xin Baobao told He Pingsheng she had broken through two layers to Dao origin third layer.
• After eight thousand years of Dao comprehension and a hundred years of body refining, Xin Baobao descended into the Blood Pool again to refine her body alongside He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng agreed to take Xin Baobao home after they left the Demon God's Heart and prepared to depart. Before they could go, two Myriad Laws Heavenly Crystals appeared, and his staffs reacted to them.

• Xin Baobao asked He Pingsheng to take her home to see her family, and he promised to do so after they left the Secret Realm.
• He Pingsheng decided he had accomplished what he came to do, collected blood in the Immortal Treasure-Gathering Basin, and flew into the void with Xin Baobao.
• Two Myriad Laws Heavenly Crystals burst from the clouds of Daoist Law as thousands of Immortals pursued them, including Zither Player and Dao Lord Zhen Yu.
• Zither Player thanked He Pingsheng for protecting her and was shocked to learn he had reached the eleventh layer of cultivation.
• Zither Player explained that the crystals contained countless Daoist Laws, and the crystals then flew toward He Pingsheng as his staffs stirred.
• Purple Spirit told He Pingsheng that the Primordial Purple Gold Staff could absorb the crystals and rise to ninth grade or higher.

He Pingsheng seized two myriad laws heavenly crystals while Xin Baobao fought off the cultivators trying to take them. When Zhen Yu demanded the crystals, He Pingsheng challenged her and was badly beaten into the sea of blood, leaving him to recognize the gap between their strength.

• He Pingsheng used two artifact rods to capture the myriad laws heavenly crystals as Xin Baobao attacked the cultivators pursuing him.
• Zhen Yu claimed He Pingsheng had obtained the crystals for her, but he promised to deliver them in ten thousand years instead.
• Zhen Yu attacked He Pingsheng, whose Chaos Heaven-Opening Fist and two Heavenly Thunder Pearls failed to stop her strike.
• Zhen Yu struck He Pingsheng twice and sent him plunging into the sea of blood, badly wounded but alive.
• He Pingsheng realized he could not defeat Zhen Yu, a Dao Origin Eleventh Layer prodigy, without using eighth grade immortal talismans.

After Zhen Yu blasted He Pingsheng into the sea of blood, he witnessed a dying stranger’s memories and discovered what seemed to be a Fourth Realm connected to the Immortal Realm and Demonic Realm. He returned to the present, rose from the blood sea, and warned Zhen Yu that continuing the fight would get her killed.

• Zhen Yu’s strike sent He Pingsheng sinking into the sea of blood, where divine blood entered his shattered body and his consciousness drifted into another person’s experience.
• He Pingsheng found himself unable to control a wounded stranger who was fleeing pursuers across a desert and through a forest before arrows sent him into a river.
• The stranger sealed himself inside a dark basin that became a tree stump, and He Pingsheng watched the body transform over the years into spheres representing different realms.
• He Pingsheng inferred that the two small spheres might represent the Profound Demon Heavenly Ruins and a Fourth Realm, then coughed up golden divine blood and returned to the sea of blood.
• He Pingsheng stopped his descent, burst out of the sea, and warned Zhen Yu to stop fighting as he suspended two eighth-grade Immortal Talismans above his head.

He Pingsheng survived Zhen Yu’s attacks, recovered from his wounds, and learned that the Fourth Demonic Saint considered him destined to become a Sage. After reflecting on the hidden Fourth Realm and the god whose body formed the Immortal and Demonic Realms, he faced the Dao Companion of someone he had killed, who demanded revenge.

• Zhen Yu threatened He Pingsheng with an eighth-grade Immortal Talisman, then left after he revealed his own talismans and Xin Baobao’s opponents withdrew.
• He Pingsheng and Xin Baobao left the Demon God’s Heart, and he began healing while she stood guard.
• The Fourth Demonic Saint stopped Zhen Yu from ambushing He Pingsheng, warning that he could become a Sage and that Zhen Yu would die if they fought to the death.
• He Pingsheng pondered the Fourth Realm, the fallen god, and the mysterious basin before his wounds fully healed.
• An obese female Immortal confronted He Pingsheng over her Dao Companion’s death, and he agreed to fight her one-on-one if she wanted revenge.
