Chapter Summaries

Ye Fei and his companions raised their cultivation to the Golden Core Stage, drawing tribulation clouds over the Life Tree as Feng An planned to make the players outside believe the tree was under attack. Baby insisted on accompanying Ye Fei, and the chapter left the group preparing for a stronger tribulation.
