Chapter Summaries

Nuwa discovered that Lu Feng’s Golden Ao Island was filled with powerful spiritual energy and precious spiritual treasures, while the Saints decided to capture him to gather the Interception Sect’s disciples. The chapter left Nuwa astonished that Lu Feng had left rare spiritual roots and divine soil unguarded beside his cave abode.

• Nuwa traced the Interception Sect disciples’ growing strength to resources Lu Feng had provided and went to Golden Ao Island.
• Jieyin and Zhunti urged Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Taishang Laozi to find the person directing the Interception Sect instead of capturing only outer disciples.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Taishang Laozi identified Lu Feng as the sect’s Vice Leader, and the four Saints flew toward Golden Ao Island to capture him.
• Nuwa found that Golden Ao Island’s spiritual energy had increased and saw innate spiritual roots, a Flat Peach tree, and five-colored divine soil beside Lu Feng’s cave abode.
• Nuwa realized Lu Feng had placed no protective measures around the treasures and wondered why he left them exposed to thieves.

Nuwa confronted Lu Feng over his casual cultivation of a garden of innate spiritual roots, especially the Flat Peach tree. After spotting something inside his cave abode, she demanded to know why he had dragon crystal.

• Nuwa visited Lu Feng’s cave abode after seeing his Flat Peach tree growing unprotected outside.
• Nuwa scolded Lu Feng for treating innate spiritual roots carelessly, while Lu Feng defended his gardening and wondered how she had bypassed the island’s formations.
• Nuwa noticed something inside Lu Feng’s cave abode that he could not see.
• Nuwa stared at Lu Feng and asked why he had dragon crystal.

Nuwa visited Lu Feng on Golden Ao Island and discovered that he treated dragon crystal as worthless and that the Jie Sect Disciples had dismantled the Jade Void Palace. Lu Feng then set out to strengthen the island’s defenses, and Nuwa was stunned by the formation he began creating.

• Nuwa saw Lu Feng’s large pile of dragon crystal, and Lu Feng offered to let her inspect his materials.

• Lu Feng decided the island’s defenses were too weak and headed to reinforce its formation, with Nuwa following to watch.
• Lu Feng covered Golden Ao Island in streams of power of law and drove a complex formation beneath it, shocking Nuwa.
• Lu Feng raised his hand again, and the power of law he gathered made Nuwa’s expression change dramatically.

Lu Feng impressed Nuwa by laying down ten formations built from multiple laws, then created another formation to accelerate the ripening of his Flat Peaches. Meanwhile, four Saints headed toward Golden Ao Island, drawing the attention of Zhen Yuanzi, Haotian, and Houtu, while Lu Feng remained unaware of the approaching threat.

• Lu Feng laid down ten interlocking formations around Golden Ao Island, astonishing Nuwa with his mastery of several laws.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Jieyin, and two others arrived near Golden Ao Island and planned to break through its protective formation.
• Zhen Yuanzi sensed the four approaching figures with the Earth Book and realized they were not Jie Sect Disciples, while Haotian and Houtu also noticed developments near the island.
• Lu Feng returned to his cave abode and, inspired by his formations, created a time-law formation to make his Flat Peaches ripen sooner.

Lu Feng planted spiritual roots around Golden Ao Island with the help of formations while Nuwa questioned his methods and his excuses for the Jie Sect’s raid on Jade Void Palace. Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and the other three arrived to capture Lu Feng, but Yuanshi entered a powerful formation and attacked it with the Pangu Banner.

• Lu Feng used a longsword to till the rocky ground and planted spiritual roots in five-colored divine soil, strengthening them with formations.
• Nuwa suspected Lu Feng might have deliberately arranged for the Interception Sect to disband, but his haphazard planting made her doubt his wisdom again.
• Lu Feng defended the Jie Sect disciples’ destruction of Jade Void Palace as collecting interest, while Nuwa accused him of coveting her spiritual roots.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Taishang Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti arrived outside Golden Ao Island and decided to break through its formations to capture Lu Feng.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi’s punch carried him into a formation infused with the law Qiongxiao had used against him, so he summoned the Pangu Banner and attacked its core.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi failed to break a formation with the Pangu Banner, then discovered it contained another formation as he attacked with the Heaven-Burning Jade Fan. Nuwa decided to help Tongtian, but learned that Tongtian believed the Interception Sect lacked spiritual roots, leaving her to suspect Lu Feng had been secretly using up the sect’s wealth.

• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi attacked the formation with the Pangu Banner, but it absorbed his spiritual power without changing.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi used the Heaven-Burning Jade Fan to spread flames through the formation, while Taishang Laozi realized it contained a formation within a formation.
• Nuwa decided to join the conflict and help Tongtian rather than side with Jieyin and Zhunti.
• Nuwa asked Tongtian where he was going, and Tongtian said he planned to search a Dragon-Han Era secret realm for spiritual roots and spirit treasures for his disciples.
• Tongtian said the Interception Sect did not grow innate spiritual roots, and Nuwa suspected Lu Feng had been secretly squandering the sect’s vast fortune.

Nuwa accompanied Tongtian to a Dragon-Han-era secret realm while her avatar stayed on Golden Ao Island with Lu Feng. There, she watched as Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi entered Lu Feng’s formation and fought its growing power.

• Nuwa agreed to accompany Tongtian to the secret realm after deciding not to tell him about Lu Feng’s treasures.
• Taishang Laozi, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti saw Nuwa leave with Tongtian and assumed she had joined their mission.
• Nuwa’s avatar sat with Lu Feng outside his cave abode and admired his thriving spiritual roots.
• Lu Feng sensed an intruder, conjured a water mirror, and showed Nuwa Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi amid flames inside the formation.
• Lu Feng increased the formation’s suppressive force, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi answered with the Heaven-Burning Jade Fan and his power of law.
• Jieyin and Zhunti saw the formation weaken under Yuanshi’s attack and believed he was about to break it.

Taishang Laozi realized Lu Feng’s formation contained at least seven layers and urged Jieyin and Zhunti to help rescue Yuanshi. After they entered, Lu Feng activated all ten formations against the four Saints’ avatars, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Taishang Laozi recognized that the formation held at least seven formations and warned Jieyin and Zhunti of its danger.
• Yuanshi struggled to withstand the formations, so Taishang Laozi persuaded Jieyin and Zhunti to enter and help break them.
• Nuwa asked Lu Feng why he had activated only four formations, and he explained that he wanted the others to enter first.
• Taishang Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti entered the formation and joined Yuanshi.
• Lu Feng activated all ten formations, trapping the four Saints’ avatars beneath their combined power.

Nuwa allied with Tongtian because of Lu Feng as they headed toward the Secret Realm. Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi and Haotian sensed an overwhelming force they could not investigate, and Haotian glimpsed four figures on Golden Ao Island, where a formation threatened to crush four Saints at once.

• Nuwa told Tongtian she wanted to ally with him and explained that Lu Feng was the reason she had chosen his side.
• Tongtian agreed to the alliance and traveled with Nuwa toward the Secret Realm.

• Haotian failed to observe the Primordial World with the Haotian Mirror, suffered its backlash, and glimpsed four figures on Golden Ao Island.
• Haotian realized the Interception Sect had set up a formation to confront four Saints.

Houtu watched as Lu Feng’s formation trapped the avatars of Taishang Laozi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, and decided to stay out of the conflict. The four Saints’ avatars gathered at the formation’s core and prepared to force their way out with their treasures.

• Houtu sensed the Saints’ avatars on Golden Ao Island and chose not to interfere when Lu Feng’s formation sprang into action.
• Three additional formations activated around Taishang Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, bringing the total to ten and leaving the three struggling to withstand them.
• Jieyin and Zhunti blamed Taishang Laozi for leading them into the formation, while Taishang Laozi urged them to find Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and escape together.
• The group found Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi crushed at the formation’s core, and he called out to Taishang Laozi for help.
• Taishang Laozi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi agreed to force a path out and brought out their Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Taishang Laozi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi tried to break free from Lu Feng’s ten formations, but he amplified their power and destroyed all four avatars. Their lost treasures and defeat sparked a feud between the Saints, while Zhen Yuanzi and Great Emperor Haotian reconsidered Lu Feng’s strength and what it might mean for them.

• Taishang Laozi led Jieyin, Zhunti, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi in attacking one formation node, briefly weakening the first layer.

• Great Emperor Haotian recovered from the Haotian Mirror’s backlash, saw that the four avatars had died, and began considering whether he too could rise beyond the Saints’ control.

Great Emperor Haotian and Houtu realized that all four Saints' avatars had been slain at Golden Ao Island, and both suspected Lu Feng was responsible. Lu Feng collected the Saints' treasures, while Jieyin and Zhunti confronted Taishang Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi in Chaos, where a fight seemed imminent.

• Great Emperor Haotian found Golden Ao Island unharmed and concluded that the Interception Sect had slain all four Saints' avatars, likely through Lu Feng's power.
• Houtu sensed that the four Saints' auras had vanished and wondered how powerful Lu Feng had become.

• Lu Feng told Nuwa that he expected more visitors bearing treasures as long as the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation remained unfinished.
• Jieyin and Zhunti confronted Taishang Laozi and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi in Chaos over their shared losses, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi prepared to fight.

After losing treasures in the Interception Sect’s formation, the four Saints set aside their dispute and returned to Zixiao Palace to report their failure to Hongjun. When Hongjun proposed following the original arrangements for the approaching Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi asked him to handle the matter himself.

• Jieyin and Zhunti demanded compensation from Taishang Laozi for the treasures they lost in the formation, but Taishang Laozi persuaded them to wait for Tongtian and ask him to return the treasures.

• Hongjun proposed proceeding with the original arrangements for the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi asked Hongjun to handle it himself.

Tongtian and Nuwa gathered spiritual roots in an ancient Secret Realm, while Nuwa arranged for Lu Feng to help her later. In Zixiao Palace, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi asked Hongjun to intervene against the Interception Sect because he could no longer control it himself.

• Tongtian marveled at the abundant spiritual roots in the Secret Realm, and Nuwa questioned his certainty that his disciples could not grow any.
• Tongtian began collecting the spiritual roots, and Nuwa helped him clear the area.
• Tongtian offered Nuwa a share of the harvest, but she asked him to have Lu Feng do her a favor instead.
• Tongtian agreed, privately deciding Nuwa seemed like a good match for Lu Feng, while Lu Feng sneezed without knowing his master had volunteered him.
• In Zixiao Palace, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi asked Hongjun to act against the Interception Sect, believing its changes had put it beyond his control.

Hongjun questioned Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Jieyin about the Interception Sect’s changes, especially its hidden disciples and their unfamiliar powers of law. After learning that Qiongxiao had slain Yuanshi’s avatar, Hongjun grew intrigued by Lu Feng, while Yuanshi lost his composure as Jieyin and Zhunti mocked his defeat.

• Jieyin and Zhunti mocked Yuanshi over his lost avatar and demolished Jade Void Palace, and Yuanshi angrily retorted but held back from fighting them in Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun decided to investigate the novels strengthening the Interception Sect’s disciples in person, while Nuwa stayed at Lu Feng’s Cave Abode and tried to learn more about him. After jokingly claiming to be Houtu, she set off to explore Golden Ao Island, particularly the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

• Hongjun questioned Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi about the novels obtained by Jie Sect Disciples and announced he would investigate them in the lower realm.

• Nuwa left to explore Golden Ao Island and headed for the Divine Weapon Pavilion, while Lu Feng watched her go.

Lu Feng recognized that the woman before him was Nuwa, while Tongtian gathered spiritual treasures for Lu Feng. After exploring the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Nuwa realized its chaotic second floor could nurture growing Spirit Treasures and became interested in the environment itself.

• Lu Feng concluded that the woman he had encountered was Nuwa and thought she could become an ally for his teacher.
• Hongjun emerged from the mist deep within the Primordial World, appearing less solid than the incarnations of Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and the others.
• Tongtian sorted spiritual roots and spirit herbs in the Dragon-Han Secret Realm and planned to bring them to Lu Feng.
• Nuwa entered the Divine Weapon Pavilion on Golden Ao Island and discovered four Innate Spiritual Treasures on its first floor.
• Nuwa explored the pavilion’s chaotic second floor and recognized the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar as a Spirit Treasure capable of growth.
• Nuwa judged that the pavilion’s chaotic environment could nurture countless Innate Spiritual Treasures and considered it more valuable than the demon jar.

Nuwa began comprehending the laws on the Divine Weapon Pavilion’s second floor, while Hongjun investigated the mysterious books scattered through the Primordial World. When he opened one titled “Do Not Touch!”, it transported his consciousness into a black Chaos mist, where a chain attacked him.

• Nuwa discovered an Innate Supreme Treasure on the Divine Weapon Pavilion’s second floor and sat down to comprehend the laws there.
• Lu Feng sensed Nuwa’s choice, decided not to interfere, and considered how Saints remained constrained by the Primordial World’s larger game.

• Hongjun opened the book titled “Do Not Touch!” despite its warnings, causing his consciousness to be pulled into a black Chaos mist.
• A black chain suddenly shot toward Hongjun from behind and to one side.

Hongjun was trapped in a demonic space that severed his connection to the Heavenly Dao, and he escaped only after its self-destruction left his manifestation badly damaged. Meanwhile, Tongtian and Nuwa finished gathering treasures from the Chaos Secret Realm and headed back, while Lu Feng continued planting resources faster than Tongtian could collect them.

• Hongjun fought off black chains and endless demonic qi in a space that reminded him of Demon Ancestor Luohu, then destroyed the blood-red eyes surrounding him.
• Hongjun attacked the space until it cracked, but the space detonated its own protective measure and left his spiritual manifestation battered and corroded by demonic qi.
• Tongtian and Nuwa cleared the Chaos Secret Realm, with Tongtian taking its useful spiritual roots and spirit herbs for his Jie Sect disciples.
• Tongtian asked Nuwa to take a share, but she declined because Wa Huang Heaven had no shortage of such resources.
• Tongtian and Nuwa left the secret realm, while Lu Feng's planting had already outpaced Tongtian's harvest.

Nuwa’s cultivation surged after she contemplated her Creation Laws in the Divine Weapon Pavilion’s time-altered space. She broke through to early saint realm tier six in Chaos, leaving Tongtian curious about how she had advanced so quickly.

• Nuwa realized that time passed far more slowly outside the Divine Weapon Pavilion than on its second floor, where she had spent hundreds of years deepening her understanding of the Creation Laws.
