Chapter Summaries

Master Kang endured Fulong Pavilion’s torture rather than surrender the Route Passes or expose his allies, but he was transferred to the Heavenly Prison Imperial Prison. Yan'er and her companions rescued him during a devastating attack on the prison convoy, and the group reached Myriad Spirits Mountain with eight Route Passes as the secret realm’s opening approached.

• Master Kang refused to reveal the Route Passes or the Chaos squad, and Fulong Pavilion officers transferred him toward the Heavenly Prison Imperial Prison.
• A white-clad young man used a secret method to invert the street and sky, causing the prison wagons to fall while Fulong Pavilion cultivators fought off earth-shaped weapons and vines.

• Master Kang told Yan'er that the Route Passes were hidden at Myriad Spirits Garden, then revealed that he had actually kept eight in his Consciousness Space.
• Yan'er took the eight Route Passes, and the group prepared to meet the other squad near Myriad Spirits Mountain.

Master Kang was exposed as the Park District Squad’s target and forced to surrender his Route Passes, but a mysterious entity inside him awakened as the Myriad Spirits Garden Secret Realm opened. Ren Ye’s group prepared to enter the realm, while Master Kang’s fate remained uncertain.

• Yan'er and the disguised Senior Brother Runtu pressured Master Kang to hand over Route Passes, and he pretended he had already distributed most of them to buy time.
• Yan'er revealed that the group were Fulong Pavilion agents from the Park District Squad, and they attacked Master Kang until he surrendered more passes.
• The Myriad Spirits Garden Secret Realm opened as Master Kang gave up his last Route Pass, awakening a mysterious foul thing that engulfed him in black mist and sent him fleeing toward the realm.
• A hidden sixth-grade New Year's Watcher struck Master Kang, but could not tell whether he had died or entered the Secret Realm, and warned Ren Ye to beware of the entity.
• Ren Ye's companions pooled star source for Wang Lili and Xu Bangzi, distributed the captured Route Passes, and flew toward Myriad Spirits Mountain as Wei Tianbao's group also set out.

Ren Ye entered Myriad Spirits Garden, learned that he had become a nameless azure ox in a century-spanning secret realm, and received assignments to cultivate, investigate disappearances, and find the True Dragon. After registering as Ren Daniú on the ninety-ninth peak, he planned to seek techniques at the Chou Ox Pavilion, while other Travelers awakened in different forms and locations.

• Ren Ye entered Myriad Spirits Garden and received the secret realm’s rules, assignments, and identity as a first-grade nameless azure ox.
• Ren Ye woke in a pool, struggled to control his new bovine body, and reasoned that the secret realm offered a vast stretch of time to cultivate and uncover its secrets.
• Ren Ye reached the Spirit Awakening Gathering on the ninety-ninth peak and registered as Ren Daniú in the Myriad Spirits Register.
• A Myriad Spirits Garden disciple explained that enlightened spirits had thirty days to reach one of the Twelve Immortal Mountain Dao Pavilions and copy a heart scripture and two technique texts.
• Ren Ye decided to head for the Chou Ox Pavilion, while the Little Marquis awakened as a rooster on the eighty-sixth peak and Daoist Chu awoke among the thirty-two peaks.

Ren Ye continued toward the Twelve Immortal Mountain Dao Pavilions and agreed to travel with Ox Little Mouse, which offered him Fire Essence Stones in exchange for protection. After camping at the foot of the Ninety-Ninth Peak, Ren Ye dreamed that four butchers killed and dismembered him, and the Heavenly Dao announced his death in the dream.

• Ren Ye used a basic spiritual-energy circulation to ease his fatigue as he traveled through the mountains.
• Ren Ye accidentally covered a tiny Spirit Mouse in his droppings, rescued it, and accepted its offer of Fire Essence Stones in exchange for traveling together.
• Ren Ye named the Spirit Mouse Ox Little Mouse and carried it to a lakeside campsite at the foot of the Ninety-Ninth Peak.
• Ren Ye practiced breathing exercises while Ox Little Mouse explored, and they settled in separate places to sleep.
• Ren Ye dreamed that four butchers bound him, cut off his horn, drained his blood, removed his Star Core and a testicle, and beheaded him.
• The Heavenly Dao announced in Ren Ye's dream that he had died and would be expelled from the Myriad Spirits Garden Secret Realm.

Ren Ye repeatedly died in bizarre dreams, paid escalating Star Source fees to resurrect, and failed to find a way to prevent the disappearances. After returning to the Eighty-Seventh Peak for a third time, he decided to use his Mysterious Infiltrator Token and fight back.

• Ren Ye spent 100,000 Star Source to resurrect, received spirit pill dregs, and woke at a random location near his first death.
• Ren Ye returned to his campsite and found Ox Little Mouse alive; the two shared fruit and continued traveling together.
• Ren Ye hid beneath a collapsed bridge, but dreamed of living as an injured ox and died again; he paid 200,000 Star Source to resurrect.
• Ren Ye noted that the winner prize pool had risen to 7.8 million and still could not identify how the dreams triggered his deaths.
• Ren Ye tried to stay awake on the third night but dreamed of being worked to death as a plow ox, then paid 400,000 Star Source for another resurrection.
• After waking on the fourth day, Ren Ye vowed to stop enduring the deaths passively and sensed his Mysterious Infiltrator Token.

Ren Ye used his Mysterious Infiltrator Token to ambush the being behind his nightly deaths and captured a Netherman Puppet, uncovering evidence of Spirit Beast trafficking. A second Traveler then approached, apparently intent on taking the puppet.

• Ren Ye deduced that someone was capturing and selling Spirit Beasts, so he used his Mysterious Infiltrator Token to prepare an ambush on the Eighty-Seventh Peak.
• At Zi Hour, Ren Ye spotted a hopping puppet carrying a rattle drum and resisted its hypnotic effect.
• Ren Ye attacked the puppet as Bai Zhenzhen, subdued it with his Blood Soul Flying Daggers and Phoenix Fire Furnace, and brought it into the cave.
• Ren Ye examined the puppet and discovered that it was made of Fourth Grade spirit wood and bore the inscription 85-19.
• The Heavenly Dao identified the puppet as a Netherman Puppet and rewarded Ren Ye with a First Grade Minor Spirit Pill.
• Another High Grade Traveler approached Ren Ye, apparently seeking the Netherman Puppet.

Yang Youtian ambushed Ren Ye in the cavern, but Ren Ye returned to his true body and killed him with a single sword strike. After Yang Youtian revived, he decided to seek help from his Eldest Senior Brother, while Ren Ye continued across the Eighty-Seventh Peak with the underworld puppet’s Rattle Drum.

• Yang Youtian followed Ren Ye’s underworld puppet, then attacked the cavern to seize the puppet and its clues.
• Ren Ye returned from Bai Zhenzhen’s body to his true form, concealed himself with the Human Emperor Seal, and knocked Yang Youtian’s blades aside.
• Ren Ye suppressed Yang Youtian with the Human Emperor Seal and erased him with a sword strike, causing a spirit beast inner core to appear.
• Ren Ye collected the inner core, retrieved Ox Little Mouse with the Rattle Drum, and traveled onward in his true form.
• Yang Youtian revived as a giant porcupine, concluded that Ren Ye was behind the disappearances, and planned to find his Eldest Senior Brother.
• Tang Feng appeared on the Eighty-Second Peak as Ouyang Shuixian, courtesy name Sao'er.

Ren Ye and Ox Little Mouse were caught in a massacre on Fifty-Eighth Peak when Free Faction Travelers Lou Changfeng and Ding Ying slaughtered spirit beasts for their inner cores. After their attack triggered a kill order, Lou Changfeng targeted Ren Ye, but another cultivator rose from the forest in a cloud of green mist, leaving Ren Ye hopeful that help had arrived.

• Ren Ye saved his cultivation resources for a future scripture inheritance and rested with Ox Little Mouse at the foot of Fifty-Eighth Peak.
• Lou Changfeng and Ding Ying agreed to slaughter the mountain's spirit beasts, believing their inner cores would give them an advantage in cultivation.
• The pair attacked from opposite sides of the peak, killing spirit beasts and collecting their inner cores; Ren Ye fled with Ox Little Mouse in his mouth.
• The Heavenly Dao announced that the massacre had triggered a kill order, marking Lou Changfeng and Ding Ying for future encirclements by Myriad Spirits Garden forces.
• Ding Ying urged Lou Changfeng to keep killing before the disciples arrived, and Lou Changfeng sent a Finger Shadow toward Ren Ye.
• Ren Ye shielded Ox Little Mouse and braced for the attack, but a third cultivator rose from the forest and filled it with green mist, prompting Ren Ye to hope the newcomer was an ally.

Wang Lili was cornered and killed by Lou Changfeng and Ding Ying after resisting their attempt to steal her spiritual pill dregs. Yin Tiger activated his Infiltrator Token to avenge her, and his Returning Edge overwhelmed Lou Changfeng as Ding Ying fled.

• Wang Lili used witchcraft and moth Gu to fight Lou Changfeng and Ding Ying, but they pursued and cornered her above a chasm.
• Wang Lili refused to surrender or give up, fought on despite losing both arms, and was killed and dismembered by Ding Ying.
• Yin Tiger sensed Wang Lili’s death and activated his Infiltrator Token, transforming into a demigod tiger and rushing toward Fifty-Eighth Peak.
• Yin Tiger confronted Lou Changfeng and Ding Ying with Returning Edge, and Ding Ying escaped while Lou Changfeng tried to defend himself with a Luminous Aspect Dharma Body.
• Yin Tiger’s blade cut down Lou Changfeng’s Dharma Body and shredded him.

Brother Tiger pursued and killed Ding Ying, then challenged the Myriad Spirits Garden’s Fifth Seat and was killed by the gathered disciples. Ren Ye reunited with Brother Tiger and the reborn Seven-Colored Giant Spider, and they traveled together to the Twelve Immortal Mountain Dao Pavilions.

• Ding Ying flew toward the approaching Myriad Spirits Garden experts, but Brother Tiger caught her and killed her with sixteen blade strikes.
• Brother Tiger challenged the black-robed fat man to a one-on-one duel, but tens of thousands of Myriad Spirits Garden disciples attacked and killed him.
• Ren Ye noticed a wooden plaque marked “Fifty-two-Xu Mu” on a Myriad Spirits Garden cultivator, then sent Ox Little Mouse to find the reborn Seven-Colored Giant Spider.
• Ren Ye and the Seven-Colored Giant Spider waited for Brother Tiger, who arrived in the form of a Bai Ze and reunited with them.
• Ren Ye persuaded Brother Tiger to carry him, the Seven-Colored Giant Spider, and Ox Little Mouse, and they traveled for more than ten days to the Twelve Immortal Mountain Dao Pavilions.

Ren Ye chose the fragmentary Divine Scripture-Rhinoceros Emperor Inner Canon and two techniques at Chou Ox Mountain, despite Brother Tiger warning that a divine scripture fragment was beyond his ability to develop. The Heavenly Dao announced a coming contest for nine Fortunate Destiny Dao Mansions, and Ren Ye realized that brutal battles would begin in two years.

• Ren Ye reached Chou Ox Mountain and spent two days searching its Scripture Pavilion for a heart canon and two techniques.
• Ren Ye chose the Divine Scripture-Rhinoceros Emperor Inner Canon, which contained only an introductory chapter, along with Returning Dragon Art-Seven Kills and Qi-Returning Art-Withered Wood Meets Spring.
• Ren Ye showed his choices to Brother Tiger, who scolded him for selecting a divine scripture fragment and explained why he had chosen an ordinary heart canon instead.
• The Heavenly Dao announced that the Twelve Immortal Mountain Dao Pavilions had closed until next year's Spirit Awakening Gathering and described the Fortunate Destiny Dao Mansions opening two years later.
• Ren Ye realized that spirit beasts would fight over the nine summit mansions, while Brother Tiger eagerly welcomed the coming competition.

Ren Ye settled with his companions on Yaoguang Peak and began cultivating the Rhinoceros Emperor Inner Canon, whose unusual method separated spiritual energy from turbid qi before drawing both into the body. His first attempt ended in agony and a bloody explosion that blew out his anus, leaving Wang Lili baffled when she returned.

• Ren Ye explained why the Heavenly Dao's two-year contest meant they should not rely on Infiltrator Tokens, and the group decided to settle in the Nine Fortunate Destiny Peaks rather than search for Dragon Head and the others.
• Ren Ye's party was turned away from a medicine peak by its patrolling disciples, so they detoured and eventually chose Yaoguang Peak as their base.
• Ren Ye, Wang Lili, Ox Little Mouse, and Brother Tiger began studying their chosen cultivation methods, with Brother Tiger leaving to temper his body and Wang Lili taking Ox Little Mouse to the poisonous swamps.
• Ren Ye began practicing the Rhinoceros Emperor Inner Canon, gathering separate pearls of spiritual energy and turbid qi above his horn.
• Ren Ye drew the turbid-qi pearl through his meridians, but unbearable pain made his divine sense collapse and caused his anus to explode.
• Wang Lili returned to find Ren Ye lying in blood, and he told her that his anus had exploded, leaving her confused about what had happened.

Ren Ye recovered from his injuries, mastered the Qi-Returning Art, and discovered that its plant extract could rapidly ripen herbs. After another painful but less damaging attempt to cultivate the Rhinoceros Emperor Inner Canon, he spotted his dumbest brother, a yellow bear, cornered by other Spirit Beasts and called for Tiger Ancestor’s help.

• Brother Tiger found a secluded cave and helped care for Ren Ye while Wang Lili gathered herbs and Ox Little Mouse made Fire Essence Stones.
• After recovering, Ren Ye cultivated the Qi-Returning Art, condensed plant extract in his horn, and used it to ripen a Lu'a Grass almost instantly.
• Ren Ye decided the plant extract could support a cultivation and medicinal-herb plan, then began preparing to cultivate the Rhinoceros Emperor Inner Canon again.
• Brother Tiger mocked Ren Ye and revealed that his body and soul had reached Second Tier; Ren Ye challenged him and was quickly beaten down.
• Ren Ye made another cultivation attempt, endured a longer circulation before failing, and recovered from minor injuries after three days.
• While exploring Yaoguang Peak with Wang Lili and Ox Little Mouse, Ren Ye saw a yellow bear wearing a sign that said “I love eating beef!” surrounded by hostile Spirit Beasts, and urged Wang Lili to fetch Tiger Ancestor.

Ren Ye and the Park District Squad reunited with the badly injured Apu on Yaoguang Peak, while Apu told them about the rival forces fighting for control of Tianquan Peak. The golden peng bird then learned the Golden-Haired Hou was leaving and decided to use an Infiltrator Token to seek the True Dragon.

• Ren Ye intervened when seven or eight spirit beasts attacked Apu, and Bai Ze arrived, drove them away, and helped the group escape.
• Ren Ye caught up with Apu and kicked him for abandoning him, then Brother Tiger returned after killing three spirit beasts.
• Apu reunited with Ren Ye, Brother Tiger, and Wang Lili in their cave and explained that the Golden-Haired Hou and a golden peng bird led rival Traveler forces on Tianquan Peak.
• Wang Lili treated Apu and the injured goose, while Ren Ye gave Apu two Fire Essence Stones to help save her.
• The golden peng bird learned that the Golden-Haired Hou was leaving Tianquan Peak and said it planned to use an Infiltrator Token to seek the True Dragon.

Ren Ye mastered the Divine Canon Emperor Scripture’s Introductory Chapter and formed primordial Dao qi around his Star Core Inner Core. After his attempt to smuggle magic treasures into his azure ox form failed, he proposed a plan to steal medicinal herbs from the Thirty-Three Peaks and make pills for the squad, then discovered Apu was frying Sister Goose’s inner core.

• Ren Ye completed the Emperor Scripture’s first circulation, formed balanced spirit and turbid seeds, and enveloped his Star Core Inner Core in primordial Dao qi.
• Ren Ye used the Infiltrator Token and tried to leave magic treasures for his azure ox form, but the Heavenly Dao removed them and warned him against exploiting its rules.
• Ren Ye told Brother Tiger and Wang Lili his plan to use the Divine Canon Mending Heaven Formula, Qi-Returning Art essence, Apu’s fire control, and Fire Essence Stones to make grade-advancing pills.
• Brother Tiger and Ren Ye agreed to seek medicinal ingredients from the Thirty-Three Peaks’ medicinal garden, while Wang Lili praised Ren Ye’s plan.
• Ren Ye learned that Sister Goose had died and found Apu frying her Star Core Inner Core, which Apu intended to eat to improve his cultivation.

Ren Ye and the others infiltrated the Thirty-Three Medicine Peaks to steal ingredients for the Seven-Treasure Spirit-Restoring Pill, but the garden’s formation limited how much they could take before detection. As Wang Lili tried eating a poisonous herb and Ren Ye investigated a strange carriage, the chapter left both experiments unresolved.

• Ren Ye planned the theft, waited thirty days for Apu to scout the peaks, and led the group inside after learning that the guards were lax.
• The Heavenly Dao announced that stolen herbs increased the medicine garden miasma on infiltrators, making them easier for the formation to detect.
• Ren Ye climbed to a summit, found mature spirit-congealing grass, and paused his theft when he spotted crimson winged horses and room-sized carriages near a temple.
• Wang Lili and Apu each stole nineteen plants, then Apu urged Wang Lili to eat a toxic herb so she could absorb its poison without taking another plant.
• Wang Lili bit the herb and was engulfed in black mist as Apu fled to stand guard.
• Ren Ye opened one of the strange carriages, whose wheel rolled and produced a familiar creaking, clattering sound.

Ren Ye stole an Alchemical Furnace and spirit-congealing grass from the Thirty-Three Medicine Peaks while investigating whether their herb carriages were being used to smuggle Spirit Beasts. After Wang Lili nearly died from eating a poisonous herb, she recovered in the group’s cave just as they prepared to refine the Seven-Treasure Pill.

• Ren Ye found medicine-making supplies in the Medicine Peaks’ carriages, stole an Alchemical Furnace and tools, then watched Gan Jinrong order disciples to remake An Mountain Master’s medicinal bath.
• Ren Ye stole nineteen stalks of spirit-congealing grass and suspected the carriages were being used to traffic Spirit Beasts, but decided to wait until he was stronger before investigating.
• Brother Tiger and Ox Little Mouse returned with their assigned herbs, while Apu arrived carrying the venomous, apparently lifeless Wang Lili and claimed she had eaten a poisonous flower.
• The group took Wang Lili back to Yaoguang Peak and began preparing to refine the Seven-Treasure Pill, noticing that her body remained and the black qi around it was fading.
• Wang Lili woke in the cave and said Xu Bangzi had been right that Apu was an idiot.
• An azure flood dragon in the Cold Pool on Tianshu Peak reached first grade, third tier after advancing three minor tiers in just over a month.

Wang Lili survived the poison and refined her first Phantom Spirit Poison Pouch, while Apu successfully made the squad’s first batch of Seven-Treasure Pills. Nearly two years later, Ren Ye had mastered three attacks of the Returning Dragon-Seven-Kill Technique but remained stuck at first-grade perfection, so he planned to seek human destiny at Myriad Spirits Heavenly Fortune Lake when the Fortunate Destiny Dao Mansion opened.

• Wang Lili recovered from the nameless poisonous plant, refined her first Phantom Spirit Poison Pouch, and gained the abilities of a Phantom Spirit Spider.
• Ren Ye, Brother Tiger, and Wang Lili beat Apu for his reckless advice, then Wang Lili apologized after realizing the poison had helped her advance.
• Apu led the azure ox family in refining pills and successfully produced nine Inferior Seven-Treasure Pills, which the squad distributed among themselves.
• Over nearly two years, Ren Ye and the others cultivated, refined pills, and stole medicinal ingredients as the Fortunate Destiny Dao Mansion’s opening approached.
• Ren Ye demonstrated that his Returning Dragon-Seven-Kill Technique could destroy a huge boulder, but he could perform only three attacks and remained unable to advance beyond first-grade perfection.
• Ren Ye decided to seek the last True Dragon at Myriad Spirits Heavenly Fortune Lake and use human destiny to create his second-rank cultivation method.

Ren Ye infiltrated Heavenly Fortune Lake on Myriad Spirits Main Peak, hoping to find True Dragon destiny that could help him advance to the Second Rank. He discovered a vast Dragon Palace beneath the lake, but the Heavenly Dao revealed that he was only the ninth Traveler to find it, while another spirit beast was already inside.

• Ren Ye refused to take his companions to Heavenly Fortune Lake and asked Wang Lili and the others to wait for Dragon Head while they watched the contest for the Fortunate Destiny Dao Mansion.
• The Heavenly Dao announced the Fortunate Destiny Contest, and spirit beasts rushed toward the summit as Myriad Spirits Garden disciples enforced the rules; Ren Ye observed the early contest before secretly entering the Sixteen Main Peaks.
• Elder Yin Shen and Zhu Wanfu went to the Immortal Gathering Tower to meet visitors from the Divine Court, leaving fewer experts stationed outside the main peak.
• Ren Ye used destiny from the Human Emperor Seal to conceal himself and climbed the cliff behind the Dao Palace into the Heavenly Fortune Lake area.
• Ren Ye found no destiny near the lake until he extended his divine sense to its limit and discovered the Heavenly Fortune Dragon Palace beneath the water.
• The Heavenly Dao announced that Ren Ye was the ninth Traveler to find the Dragon Palace, while a spirit beast inside remarked that Ren Ye had arrived later than it had.

Ren Ye entered the Heavenly Fortune Dragon Palace, learned its treasure-hunt and combat rules, and chose to defend a trace of purple-gold destiny that he needed to continue the Emperor Scripture. After accepting the five-year defense, he was immediately challenged by three Travelers.

• Little Bad King discovered the Dragon Palace beneath Heavenly Fortune Lake and entered, where the Heavenly Dao explained the history of its Dragon Treasures and the rules for claiming them.
• Ren Ye chose the alias Knife Hidden in Shit and decided to pursue treasures through the Victory-Point Treasure Hunt rather than wait five years to defend a treasure.
• Ren Ye saw strange shadows turn into countless black dragons inside the Dragon Palace, then continued exploring while hidden from other Travelers by a mist that concealed his identity.
• On the third floor, Ren Ye found a wisp of purple-gold destiny and selected it as one of his two treasures, agreeing to defend it for five years.
• The Travelers Tonight, Let's Compare Sizes, A Little Bird, and I'm a Wimp challenged Knife Hidden in Shit to combat.
