Chapter Summaries

Wu Shaozhen and his companions entered White Marsh City’s Treasure Pavilion and collected as much of its vast supply of equipment as they could before their five-minute limit expired. Back at the Godseal Guild’s Main Hall, they began sorting the haul to search for Sacred or Divine Artifacts and set aside equipment above level ninety-five for Wu Shaozhen.

• The City Lord explained that White Marsh City’s underground Treasure Pavilion held tens of thousands of items, including Sacred Artifacts and possibly Divine Artifacts.
• Wu Shaozhen and the others entered the chamber, and Wu Shaozhen used his collection ability to gather most of the equipment before filling his storage space.
• The group collected as much of the remaining equipment as their backpacks could hold while Wu Shaozhen fed high-level pieces to Godslayer.
• When the five minutes ended, the chamber pulled them back aboveground, and the City Lord accepted their haul as fulfillment of Elder Huang’s final wish.
• At the Godseal Guild’s Main Hall, Wu Shaozhen and the others laid out their equipment and began searching for Sacred and Divine Artifacts while setting aside items above level ninety-five for him.

The Godseal Guild uncovered a vast haul of high-level equipment, including a Divine Artifact ring that Wu Ziyin gave to Wu Shaozhen. Wu Shaozhen raised Godslayer to level 100 and learned it could advance, then ordered the guild to distribute the loot while carefully selecting new core members.

• Young Master Huang, Leng Feng, and Yu Fei found Immortal and Sacred Artifacts while the guild sorted its equipment.

• Wu Shaozhen devoured more than two thousand pieces of equipment and raised Godslayer to level 100, unlocking powerful skills and the possibility of advancement by devouring ten Divine Artifact weapons.
• Wu Shaozhen's attack power rose to 2.14 million, and he speculated that reaching level 100 might cause monster kills to increase health instead of granting experience.
• The guild finished sorting its haul, including one Divine Artifact, three Sacred Artifacts, and eighteen Immortal Artifacts, and Wu Shaozhen told everyone to distribute the equipment and vet prospective core members.

Wu Shaozhen invited Astro Boy to move in with him after learning about his lonely past and advanced alchemy skills. Astro Boy accepted and took Wu Shaozhen’s rare herbs to try making Peerless Pills.

Wu Shaozhen joined Fate Begins and Yuan Mie at a buried Treasure Map site in an icefield and confirmed its location. After discovering an Underground Palace beneath the ground, he obtained pickaxes from Young Master Huang, and the three began digging.

• Fate Begins told Wu Shaozhen that he and Yuan Mie had found the location marked on the Treasure Map in an icefield.
• Wu Shaozhen used a scroll to clear away the snow and ice, revealing the stone stele shown on the map.
• Wu Shaozhen, Fate Begins, and Yuan Mie compared the terrain with the map and pinpointed the treasure beneath the icefield.

• Wu Shaozhen asked Young Master Huang for weapons that could destroy terrain, and Young Master Huang sent him three mining pickaxes.
• Wu Shaozhen handed pickaxes to Fate Begins and Yuan Mie, and the three began digging.

Wu Shaozhen, Fate Begins, and Yuan Mie broke into a vast underground ice palace and searched a maze of nearly identical halls for the treasure indicated by the Treasure Map. After discovering that the sculptures might move, they still found no hidden treasure or exit.

• Wu Shaozhen used the Void-Piercing Thorn to break the seal, then shattered the ice below it so the three could enter the underground palace.
• The three searched the first ice palace, found only sculptures and passages, and walked into another hall that looked almost identical.
• They continued through more than a hundred ice palaces without finding anything, while Yuan Mie suspected the sculptures could move.
• Wu Shaozhen had Old Teng smash a giant tiger sculpture, but the fragments appeared to be ordinary ice.
• Old Teng complained that the palace held nothing but sculptures, while Wu Shaozhen insisted the Treasure Map meant treasure had to be there.

Wu Shaozhen and his companions discovered that the Ice Palace’s sculptures could reassemble and come to life, revealing that they had been trapped in a loop. The sculptures attacked, and Wu Shaozhen and Old Teng fought them inside Spacetime Domain.

• Wu Shaozhen ordered Old Teng to smash the ice sculptures, and Yuan Mie later found a fragment that fit a missing piece in a tiger sculpture’s tail.
• The group realized that the fragment came from a sculpture they had smashed, so Old Teng destroyed every sculpture in the next Ice Palace while they watched.
• Fate Begins used Flame Sea on the fragments, but they would not melt; after repeated fire attacks, the fragments reassembled into twelve sculptures.
• The reassembled sculptures came alive and attacked, so Wu Shaozhen used Spacetime Domain to separate them and Old Teng from Fate Begins and Yuan Mie.
• Wu Shaozhen and Old Teng battled the twelve Saint-tier sculptures while Fate Begins and Yuan Mie watched in astonishment.

Wu Shaozhen and Old Teng destroyed the twelve ice sculptures in the upper Ice Palace, exposing a fissure that led to a much larger palace and its treasure chest. As Wu Shaozhen, Old Teng, and Zi You fought through more than a hundred ice sculptures, an Ice Phoenix emerged near the chest.

• Wu Shaozhen poisoned the Ice Spirits that fled from the twelve shattered ice sculptures, and their deaths opened a fissure beneath the Ice Palace.
• Wu Shaozhen and Old Teng descended into a larger palace, where they found over a hundred ice sculptures and a white treasure chest.

• The ice sculptures attacked as the group approached the chest, and Zi You, Old Teng, and Wu Shaozhen fought back.
• An ice sculpture near the chest shed its ice, revealing a huge snow-white bird that Zi You identified as an Ice Phoenix.

Wu Shaozhen joined Old Teng in fighting the Ice Phoenix while Zi You defeated the Ice Golems. After the Ice Phoenix nearly overwhelmed him with hail, Wu Shaozhen returned to attack from behind Old Teng as the Ice Phoenix's health fell.

• Old Teng engaged the Ice Phoenix while Zi You protected Wu Shaozhen from the battle's crossfire and attacked the Ice Golems.
• Wu Shaozhen killed his Ice Golems, then used Thunderflash and Thunderclap Strike to deal heavy damage to the Ice Phoenix.
• The Ice Phoenix attacked Wu Shaozhen with Ice Spikes and hail, forcing him to retreat after its hailstones triggered his defensive abilities.
• Old Teng drove the Ice Phoenix back, and Wu Shaozhen rejoined the fight, attacking from behind Old Teng while applying debuffs.
• Zi You finished off more than a hundred Ice Golems and watched as Old Teng and Wu Shaozhen steadily wore down the Ice Phoenix.

Wu Shaozhen and Old Teng killed the Ice Phoenix, earning a God-tier first-kill reward and a major talent breakthrough. The treasure chest held only a Crystal Pendant, which Wu Shaozhen stored in his Heaven and Earth Ring, where it began affecting the Blood Soul Jade and the Soul-Piercing Bee Queen.

• Wu Shaozhen and Old Teng kept attacking the fleeing Ice Phoenix until Wu Shaozhen finished it with Evil Mark and Execution.
• Wu Shaozhen received a talent breakthrough, levels, reputation, gold, and free attribute points after defeating the Ice Phoenix as the first player to kill a God-tier boss on the Huaxia Server.
• Wu Shaozhen allocated his free attribute points to agility, collected the boss's drops, and opened the Treasure Chest.
• Wu Shaozhen found a Crystal Pendant said to be the Ice and Snow Empress's only keepsake, and Zi You suspected it was not ordinary.
• Wu Shaozhen placed the pendant in his Heaven and Earth Ring, causing the nearby Blood Soul Jade to fade and the Soul-Piercing Bee Queen to weaken.

Wu Shaozhen looted the Ice Phoenix’s drops, equipped a powerful Divine Artifact, and returned to town after finding no way back up. He gave Fate Begins and Yuan Mie several items and recruited them to join his team, leaving them preparing to move to his place.

• Wu Shaozhen equipped the Ice Trace Belt and sorted the Ice Phoenix’s other drops, including a trapping scroll, a Mage skill book, and an Ice Phoenix Mount Token.
• Unable to find a passage back up, Wu Shaozhen messaged Fate Begins and used a Town Portal Scroll to return to town.
• At Full Fortune House, Wu Shaozhen showed Fate Begins and Yuan Mie the crystal pendant that had been the treasure, then gave them the boss’s Sacred and Immortal Artifacts.
• Fate Begins asked whether Wu Shaozhen’s offer to recruit him and Yuan Mie still stood, and Wu Shaozhen welcomed them onto his team.
• Wu Shaozhen gave Yuan Mie the Socketing Gem, and Fate Begins said the couple would move to Wu Shaozhen’s place within a few days.

Wu Shaozhen learned that the Ice and Snow Empress had been a Transcendent God-tier powerhouse, then welcomed new arrivals to the Farmhouse Resort and continued growing stronger. After Leng Yue redeemed the M Server’s Golden Gift Pack, Karen realized she was likely connected to Dustseal and abandoned thoughts of targeting her.

After reaching level 100, Wu Shaozhen explored the Hell Abyss and killed the saint-tier Demon Lord, discovering that boss kills could still strengthen him with attribute points.
