Chapter Summaries

Ren Jie found Yu Wu Shuang near death after Sea King forced her bloodline power awake, and carried her deeper into the relic to seek the opportunity meant for her. Meanwhile, Fang Yan emerged from seclusion having reached the third level of the Yin Yang Realm and began making plans to seize power and destroy Ren Jie.

• Sea King persuaded Si Ma Yin to stop fighting and explore the relic, while Si Ma Yin preserved Guo Xiu’s remaining Yin Soul and flew off in another direction.

• Fang Yan ordered his men to review the army, quietly eliminate factions that defied him, contact allies within the Fang Family, and investigate Ren Jie.

Fang Qi cultivated after learning that Lan Tian planned to establish a sect, while the Sea King explained his long search for the Wushuang Imperial Concubine Relic and the Soul Condensing Liquid. Ren Jie’s group searched the relic’s mist-covered world for a way to save Yu Wu Shuang, but with time running out, he spilled her blood in an attempt to find the relic.

• Fang Qi learned that Lan Tian would lead them to Jade Capital City in a month to establish a sect, and she devoted herself to cultivation.
• The Sea King told Hai Liang and Mo Sheng that he needed the Soul Condensing Liquid in the relic to break through to the Taiji Realm, and that Yu Wu Shuang’s bloodline had opened the way inside.
• Ren Jie led Yu Wu Shuang and the others through the relic’s spiritual mist, using the Sage Dao Discussion Realm to extend his divine sense as her condition worsened.
• Ren Jie searched the Small World, which spanned roughly thirty thousand li, but found no trace of the relic’s destination or the Soul Condensing Liquid.
• With only three days remaining, Ren Jie cut Yu Wu Shuang’s hand and made her blood spray into the air.

Ren Jie used Yu Wu Shuang’s blood to reveal the Wushuang Imperial Concubine Relic, then followed her into its palace as spirit-mist soldiers formed and attacked the intruders. Yu Wu Shuang was carried away by a boat in the central pool, and Great General Cang Yu appeared and struck at Ren Jie’s group.

• Great General Cang Yu appeared while condensing his body and overwhelmed Qi Tian, who could not break through his defenses.
• Ren Jie used the Sage Dao Discussion realm to explain the words he had given Qi Tian and point him toward a breakthrough.
• Qi Tian reached the Yang Soul Realm, absorbed the spiritual mist, and grew powerful enough to battle Cang Yu evenly with a body-refining divine ability.
• Ren Jie recognized that Qi Tian’s body-refining technique differed from the Jade Emperor Art and wondered about its connection to the Honghuang Era.
• Shi Liu Lang and Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf entered the main hall, and Cang Yu responded to their remarks by unleashing Three Heads Six Arms and attacking the intruders in the adjoining passages.

As the main hall collapsed and endless spirit-mist soldiers swarmed in, Ren Jie moved his group toward the pool while Sea King and Si Ma Yin watched for a chance to seize the relic. Yu Wu Shuang emerged from a newly opened vortex above a hidden world, and everyone rushed toward it as Ren Jie moved to protect her.

• Sea King, Si Ma Yin, and their groups entered the main hall and joined the fight against Great General Cang Yu, while Ren Jie warned Fatty to bring the Guard Squad into the formation.
• The hall and its passages began collapsing, killing countless soldiers; Ren Jie gathered his allies into the formation and directed them toward the pool while conserving their strength.
• Si Ma Yin told Lu Wei to watch Sea King's clone, and Sea King told Mo Sheng to keep an eye on Ren Jie because he suspected the relic had not yet appeared.
• The pool formed a vortex that revealed another world, and Yu Wu Shuang rose into view in a beam of light.
• Sea King sent clones, Si Ma Yin launched the Heavenly Rainbow Sword, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf charged toward the vortex as Ren Jie rushed to protect Yu Wu Shuang.

• Ren Jie glimpsed two figures fighting above a vast world and sensed the Jade Emperor Art from one of them.
• Ren Jie discovered that the vortex's water nourished his divine sense and continued examining the world below.

Ren Jie immersed himself in the Sage Dao Discussion and the pool water, rapidly advancing while trying to memorize the Jade Emperor Seal techniques, but the strain left him bleeding and unable to fight. As Ren Jie’s allies moved to protect him, Sea King Hai Wuchang broke through to the Taiji Realm, leaving Si Ma Yin shocked.

• Ren Jie used the Sage Dao Discussion to observe the two figures’ movements, follow the Jade Emperor Art, and break through to the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer.
• Ren Jie strained to memorize the three Jade Emperor Seal techniques, then collapsed in pain and told Yu Wu Shuang, the fat man, and Yu Cheng that he was cultivating.

• Ren Jie warned Yu Ren Long that the space was unstable, told him to save the pool water, and sent the three Magical Treasures out of the vortex.
• Ren Jie caught the treasures, absorbed the surrounding Yin Fiend Power, and began condensing a powerful Yin Soul before handing the treasures to Yu Wu Shuang.
• Sea King shattered the remaining vortex, and Yu Ren Long gathered scattered drops of pool water while Sea King ordered his followers to collect the liquid and capture Yu Wu Shuang.

• Shi Lang seized the flying knives and rushed for Cang Yu's Silver Longbow, while Si Ma Yin pursued Yu Ren Long to take the soul liquid.
• Sea King struck Si Ma Yin with a powerful palm; Si Ma Yin escaped with several drops, and Sea King prepared to kill the survivors.

As the collapsing space threatened everyone, Hu Hu saved Qi Tian from Shi Lang, and Ren Jie organized his people to escape. Sea King stopped Si Ma Yin from leaving as the space continued to shatter.

Sea King’s Taiji Realm breakthrough left Ren Jie’s group struggling to escape, so Ren Jie used the poison in Hai Liang and Mo Sheng to divide Sea King’s strength. Yu Ren Long swallowed the soul fluid and burned his Yin Soul to attack Sea King’s clone, giving Ren Jie’s group a chance to flee as he made his final stand for Yu Wu Shuang.

• Sea King’s attacks badly wounded Si Ma Yin and shook members of Ren Jie’s Guard Squad, while Ren Jie ordered Yu Ren Long to trigger the poison in Hai Liang and Mo Sheng.

Ren Jie and the survivors escaped the collapsing relic space, then hid near a volcano while they recovered. Ren Jie told Yu Cheng and Yu Wu Shuang that Yu Ren Long had sacrificed himself to hold back Sea King, while Sea King failed to find them and withdrew to the Skysea Empire.

• Yu Wu Shuang carried the exhausted group clear of the magma before collapsing, and Fatty and Yu Cheng cushioned their fall.

• Jade Capital City erupted into speculation when people recognized that Lan Tian had returned and was establishing a sect.

Ren Jie and his companions discussed Lan Tian’s plan to establish the Lan Manor Sky Sect as they traveled back, while Ren Jie kept the group from being intimidated by the news. Elsewhere, Fang Yan led a brutal campaign against the Ancient God Cult, seized a giant hand bone, and then learned that his residence had been destroyed, prompting him to rush back to the capital.

• Ren Jie asked his companions what they thought of Lan Tian’s new sect, and Hai Qingyun and Yu Cheng warned that establishing a sect could signal formidable backing or provoke the emperor.

• Fang Yan lost his temper and ordered his soldiers to seize Tie Ta, telling them to use military law against anyone who resisted.
