Chapter Summaries

Su Ping investigated the dangerous spatial disturbances in the Broken Stone Mountains and learned that the Celestial Observatory needed stronger support. With the Mirror Reflecting the Myriad Heavens’ help, he discovered the mountain was a stable, reusable Mystic Realm and invited the Mirror Ancestor to lead the Celestial Observatory, leaving the Mirror Ancestor to consider the offer.

• Long Er and the others met Su Ping near the Broken Stone Mountains, where unstable space and powerful gravity had injured Huang Tianbing and left the Zhang Brothers unconscious.
• Huang Tianbing explained that the Celestial Observatory had spent months investigating the mountain’s chaotic entrances, with many members lost and no reliable information about the Mystic Realm.
• Su Ping asked the Sacred Dragon Legend to strengthen support for the Celestial Observatory, and the Sacred Dragon Legend gave him authority to find a Saint Spirit Tier figure to oversee it.
• Su Ping summoned the Mirror Reflecting the Myriad Heavens, which revealed that the mountain contained a stable but fragmented Mystic Realm that could be repaired and relocated into Su Ping’s Heart of Myriad Spirits.
• Su Ping asked the Mirror Ancestor to preside over the Celestial Observatory, and the Mirror Ancestor said it would discuss the offer with the Dong Family after realizing it had already promised Su Ping the reusable Mystic Realm.

Su Ping left the Proud Dragon’s repair to Wu Kuang and Feifei, then focused on finding an evolution path for Qianyi. After watching Qianyi fight with a sword assembled from Paper-Folding Men, Su Ping had a sudden new insight, but the chapter ended before he explained it.

• Wu Kuang revealed that he had designed the Proud Dragon and persuaded Su Ping to help the Mechanic Association research mechanical pet beasts while Feifei assisted with the repairs.
• Su Ping went to the Zombie Funeral Home and reviewed the Five Elements Paper Spirits he had cultivated, whose racial ceiling had reached Emperor Rank First Stage.
• Yin Luo told Su Ping that Qianyi’s evolution still had no clear direction and that he would soon be leaving.
• Su Ping considered forging and tempering Qianyi’s fragile paper body, but Yin Luo pointed out that earlier attempts to compress Paper-Folding Men had failed.
• Qianyi sparred with a Five Elements Paper Spirit using a Wind Sword made from three Paper-Folding Men, and Su Ping noticed something as the sword came apart.

Su Ping tested his theory that Qianyi’s Sword Soul needed a sword core to evolve, but embedding an Ore Vein Edge failed and left marks on the resource. After comparing many metals, Su Ping realized undead metals behaved differently and identified a new kind of resource to try next.

• Su Ping asked Qianyi to transform into a sword and tested whether an Ore Vein Edge could serve as his sword core.
• Qianyi absorbed the Ore Vein Edge during a treatment with Molten Gold Paste, Water of Life, and other resources, but the attempt failed and scratched his paper body.
• Su Ping examined the marked Ore Vein Edge and concluded that the failed result might reveal something about the material.
• Su Ping spent a night and a day testing Metal-type resources, but none caused evolutionary fluctuations in Qianyi.
• Su Ping noticed that Netherworld Cold Iron had developed more pronounced friction marks than other metals and realized undead souls’ negative power might be the key.

Su Ping discovered that Qianyi needed a living sword-shaped implement pet beast’s body as a sword core, then used Jian Yue’s Jade-Shattering Sword to trigger Qianyi’s first successful Light of Evolution. After learning that the Northern Border held Undead sword pet beasts and recalling the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal, Su Ping decided to travel north with Yin Luo and Jian Yue.

• Su Ping concluded that Qianyi’s sword core had to be a living object rather than an ordinary resource, and asked Yin Luo about sword-shaped implement pet beast corpses.
• Jian Yue lent Su Ping her spiritless Jade-Shattering Sword, which he placed inside Qianyi after mixing a piece of Ore Vein Edge into the Sword-Washing Pool.
• Qianyi folded around the Jade-Shattering Sword, and Su Ping awakened him when the Sword Body began contracting and the Light of Evolution appeared.
• Su Ping returned the rusted Jade-Shattering Sword to Jian Yue and explained that he still needed better evolution resources.
• Yin Luo mentioned the taboo sword Dragon-Slayer, while Jian Yue suggested looking for Undead sword pet beasts in Beiyuan, where the group would travel for the Heavenly Tomb.
• As the Heavenly Tomb Mark called to him and he recalled Yu Liangqing’s legacy and the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal, Su Ping asked Yin Luo and Jian Yue when they were leaving and said he would go north with them.

The Northern Border Legion debated the purpose of the undead Beast Tide as Master Leng warned Su Anyong that Su Ping’s actions had made him a focus of national attention before his coming Heavenly Tomb expedition. Su Ping arrived in Beihan City and reunited with the Rong Family, who had gathered to welcome him.

• The undead Beast Tide receded, and Su Anyong urged Master Leng and the Ghost Sage to investigate the Heavenly Tomb or launch a counterattack, but the commanders made no decision.
• Master Leng told Su Anyong that Su Ping had appointed the Mirror Saint of Jianghai's Dong Family as a Special Guest Elder at the Celestial Observatory, drawing political scrutiny as Su Ping faced the Heavenly Tomb.
• Master Leng said Su Ping had returned to Beiyuan with Yin Luo and Lu Heng, and ordered Su Anyong to prepare his troops and support Su Ping.
• Master Leng revealed that Su Ping had gone to Beihan City to visit the Rong Family rather than the front-line Legion camp.
• Su Ping arrived at the Rong Residence and greeted his grandfather Rong Bao, his relatives, other Rong Family members, and the Snake Ancestor.

Su Ping discussed the Dong Family and the future of aristocratic families with Rong Bao and the Snake Saint, urging the Rong Family to consider splitting its branches and offering a new insect-pet breeding method. After visiting his cousins and the family’s pets, he left Beihan City with Long Er for the Ice Battlefield front.

• Su Ping told Rong Bao and the Snake Saint that old-style aristocratic families hindered society and proposed that the Rong Family split its branches over time.
• Rong Bao agreed to gather large numbers of Low-Rank Insect Race pets for Su Ping by the time he returned to Jianghai.
• Su Ping explained that his new breeding method might develop status skills in insect pets, prompting Rong Bao and the Snake Saint to reconsider his proposal.
• Su Ping visited the Myriad Poison Nether Spider and the Eclipse Moon Toad, then attended a banquet with the Rong Family.
• Su Ping reached the peak of Monarch Tier Eight overnight, said farewell to Rong Bao, and left Beihan City with Long Er for the Ice Battlefield front.

Su Ping arrived at the northern military camp seeking a high-level sword-type corpse and learned that a Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was among the forces behind the ghost tide. After visiting Su Anyong’s unit and observing its training, he received word that another small-scale assault had begun.

• Su Ping met Master Leng and asked for the remains of a high-level sword-type pet beast for Qianyi’s evolution.
• Master Leng revealed that a Saint Spirit High Rank Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was among the undead beings orchestrating the ghost tide.
• Master Leng explained that the Heavenly Tomb was a vast undead city surrounding the sealed true Heavenly Tomb, and that the assaults might be tied to something happening there.
• Su Ping went to Su Anyong’s encampment, where fewer than a hundred Monarch Rank Beast Tamers trained with Five Elements Paper Spirits and Night Crow Scarecrows.
• As night fell, Su Anyong received word that another small-scale ghost tide assault had begun.

Su Ping joined the Northern Border Legion’s fight against a ghost tide and was sent to the Baimu River battlefield with Lu Heng. He summoned a hundred wolves and led them toward the enemy, ordering them to leave none alive.

• A high-ranking officer briefed Master Leng and the command post on the ghost tide attacking Anling City and the Baimu River Headwaters.
• Su Ping reported for duty and asked to join the fighting, and Master Leng assigned him to eliminate enemies across the Baimu River battlefield.
• Master Leng ordered Su Ping to set out with Lu Heng while the command post monitored their progress by satellite.
• Su Ping arrived at the front in military uniform as artillery fire subsided and enemy forces advanced across the frozen river.
• Su Ping summoned a hundred wolves and his core pet beasts, then ordered the pack to kill every enemy.

Su Ping’s Forest Wolf battalion fought through the ghost tide with extraordinary coordination before an Emperor-tier Bone Tyrant overwhelmed them. Old Sha advanced Sunheart during the battle, became a radiant source of energy for the wolves, and unleashed an attack that destroyed the Bone Tyrant.

• Su Ping’s hundred Forest Wolf Evolutions entered the ghost tide and coordinated their attacks so effectively that officers and commanders watching from the battlefield and command post were astonished.
• A Bone Tyrant appeared and tore through the forest with its Super-Rank skill, Tyrant’s Might, forcing the wolves to retreat.
• Su Ping allowed Old Sha to face the Bone Tyrant, and Old Sha used the Ten Thousand Woods Wolves to bind it with a regenerating Tree Prison.
• The Bone Tyrant broke free, struck down the wolves, and nearly hit a Ten Thousand Woods Wolf before Old Sha pushed it out of danger.
• Old Sha advanced Sunheart to Mastery, becoming a brilliant source of energy that healed him and restored the other Ten Thousand Woods Wolves.
• Old Sha fired a concentrated energy attack at the entangled Bone Tyrant, leaving a vast crater and showing that he was the true war machine.

Su Ping spent the night fighting off a Ghost Tide, killing a Bone Tyrant and harvesting thousands of Undead-type resources while his Forest Wolf Legion helped repel the beasts. After returning to the Heavenly Tomb Special Forces base, he met Captain Li Feng, who doubted his claim that he was the unit’s Breeder.

• Su Ping’s Old Sha killed an Emperor Tier Bone Tyrant, surprising the commanders at the battlefield command post.
• Su Ping fed the Bone Tyrant’s remains and countless other Undead-type corpses into Death Reincarnation, expanding his Beast Taming Space as the Forest Wolves fought through the night.
• At dawn, the Ghost Tide retreated, leaving Su Ping with a major haul of resources and a victorious battlefield.
• Su Ping spoke with Lu Heng about having the Forest Wolves patrol with the security department, then returned alone to the Heavenly Tomb Special Forces base.
• Captain Li Feng challenged Su Ping’s identity and refused to disclose the unit’s pet-beast lineup, but Su Ping named its Paper-Folding Men and Night Crow Scarecrows and asked to inspect its other two beasts.

Su Ping learned about the failed Annihilation Evil Eye project and obtained its incomplete evolution method from Yin Luo. The Myriad Spirits Codex identified a special route called Annihilation Eye, but it could not be repaired until Su Ping lit up the Evil Eye Record.

• Su Ping examined Li Feng's Evil Eye and asked about units that specialized in Evil Eyes.
• Yin Luo explained that the Northern Border Legion had abandoned its Annihilation Evil Eye project after the evolved pet beasts began shrinking and dying, including Han Qiong's contracted pet beast.
• Su Ping reasoned that the Annihilation Evil Eye used the Light Element and learned that its Annihilation Ray could threaten Emperor Tier High pet beasts when many Evil Eyes attacked together.
• Su Ping asked Yin Luo for the failed evolution method, and Yin Luo obtained the Third Army's document for him.
• Su Ping's Myriad Spirits Codex detected an incomplete special evolution route called Annihilation Eye and said he needed to light up the Evil Eye Record before repairing it.

Su Ping brought four Evil Eyes to the breeding laboratory and used eye drops and the Heavenly Tomb Mark to earn their trust. The Myriad Spirits Codex unlocked the Evil Eye record and offered to repair the incomplete Annihilation Eye evolution path for 3,000 record experience points.

• Su Ping asked Yin Luo to find more Evil Eyes, and Li Feng agreed to send him a list of Legion members whose pet beasts were Evil Eyes.
• Yin Luo brought four Evil Eyes to Su Ping, who examined a juvenile and learned about the creatures' preferences for darkness and special eye drops.
• Su Ping used Mental Communication and eye drops to calm the Evil Eyes, while Yin Luo marveled at how docile they became.
• Su Ping summoned the Heavenly Tomb Mark, which intensified the Evil Eyes' affection and helped unlock the Evil Eye record in the Myriad Spirits Codex.
• The Codex offered to complete and repair the Annihilation Eye evolution path for 3,000 Evil Eye Record experience points.

Su Ping unlocked the Annihilation Eye’s first cultivation method and discovered that a second method required an astonishing twenty thousand universal experience points, prompting him to begin cultivation. He arranged to use a wild Evil Eye with help from Li Feng and summoned Yin Luo to start the attempt.

• Su Ping spent three thousand Evil Eye Record experience points to unlock the Annihilation Eye’s first cultivation method and learned that its third stage carried a risk of destroying the Evil Eye’s consciousness.
• Su Ping discovered that completing the Annihilation Eye’s second cultivation method required twenty thousand universal experience points, but could not determine why.
• Su Ping left the cultivation laboratory and encountered Su Anyong and Li Feng, who ordered him to train with the Heavenly Tomb Unit before entering Heavenly Tomb.
• Su Ping agreed to train after a few days and told Li Feng he planned to cultivate an Annihilation Evil Eye first.
• Li Feng confirmed that seventy-one Heavenly Tomb Legion members had Evil Eyes, and agreed to lend his Evil Eye to assist with cultivating a wild one.
• Su Ping asked Li Feng to notify Yin Luo, and Yin Luo hurried over ten minutes later.

Su Ping guided Big Eye through a dangerous breeding process that transformed it into the first Annihilation Eye. After the evolution succeeded, Su Ping questioned its skills and wondered what secret justified the Myriad Spirits Codex’s costly second breeding method.

• Su Ping had Big Eye stare at the Sun for three days while Li Feng and Yin Luo followed his instructions, and Big Eye gained the Light Concentration skill.
• Yin Luo prepared a vat of Light and Life Element resources, and Su Ping had Big Eye enter it and use Light Concentration.
• When Big Eye began to collapse, Su Ping rescued it, restored its consciousness with a Spirit-Summoning Stone, and fed it Dawn Seed and Yellow Springs Water.
• Big Eye completed its evolution, becoming an Annihilation Eye with Light and Mental attributes and five skills.
• Su Ping examined the new Annihilation Eye and wondered what hidden secret lay in the Myriad Spirits Codex’s second breeding method.

Su Ping bred the Annihilation Eye, a stable evolution of the Evil Eye, and Yin Luo confirmed it had none of its predecessor’s harmful aftereffects. The Heavenly Tomb Unit’s seventy-two Evil Eyes completed evolution and linked into a powerful Light Matrix, just as a new Ghost Tide approached.

• Su Ping explained that the Annihilation Eye’s light-based body should prevent the self-destruction that afflicted the Annihilation Evil Eye, though he discovered the Myriad Spirits Codex said it could not yet manifest all its racial abilities.
• Su Ping endured nearly half a month of Heavenly Tomb’s harsh death-energy training while Yin Luo tested Big Eye and confirmed its health and growth potential.
• Master Leng heard the Northern Border Legion’s army chiefs argue over breeding resources, then ordered the Heavenly Tomb Unit’s selected members bred first and proposed forming a legion-level Annihilation Unit if they proved effective.
• Yin Luo confirmed Big Eye had suffered no aftereffects, and Su Ping helped him breed the other seventy-one Evil Eyes into Annihilation Eyes.
• The seventy-two Annihilation Eyes used Light Connection and Light Matrix to combine their energy, impressing Su Anyong as Yin Luo announced a large Ghost Tide would arrive that night and suggested taking them out for target practice.

Su Ping explained his theory that the Heavenly Tomb contained the remains of the first Myth Tier undead, whose divided body could eventually revive through immortality. He decided to enter the Heavenly Tomb in two days, leaving Master Leng and the legion chiefs alarmed by the danger.

• Su Ping's Annihilation Eyes destroyed the Emperor Tier Divine Power Ancient Corpse and half of its Ancient Corpse Legion in thirty seconds.
• Su Ping asked Master Leng why the undead Ghost Tides showed no sign of diminishing, and Master Leng warned him that the Heavenly Tomb was far more dangerous than an ordinary Mystic Realm.
• Su Ping told Master Leng his theory that the first undead had wielded the rule of immortality and divided its body into four parts to revive as a Myth Tier being.
• Su Ping said he would enter the Heavenly Tomb in two days and asked Master Leng to tell Lord Sacred Dragon to come see him off.
• Su Ping left the command post alone and disappeared into the snowy night.

As Su Ping prepared to enter the Heavenly Tomb, he shared roasted sweet potatoes with a powerful man and discussed the dangers ahead, the man’s plans for the Dragon Gate, and Su Ping’s breeding work. The man agreed to wait at the Heavenly Tomb entrance and urged Su Ping to return in time for the Breeder Lifetime Achievement Award selection.

• Su Ping and his pet beasts roasted sweet potatoes by the stove until a Fortune Cat and a powerful man arrived to join them.
• The man told Su Ping that he and Xiao Bai would take him to the Heavenly Tomb and that Xiao Bai would wait at its entrance to help him get out if necessary.
• The man revealed that he had reached the Dragon Gate’s Twelfth Step and hoped to find a way for Saint Dragon to advance further, though he would wait until after next year’s award selection to leave.
• Su Ping showed the man his Breeding Diary, which described developing External Incarnation through evolution and planning multidirectional evolutionary breeding experiments.
• The man praised Su Ping’s unusual breeding methods and suggested the title “Who Taught You to Raise Beasts Like This?” for his autobiography.

The Sacred Dragon Legend escorted Su Ping and the Heavenly Tomb Beast Tamer Unit into the Heavenly Tomb, where Su Ping prepared to use the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal. As he arrived, a sinister voice in Eagle Country sensed his presence.

• The Sacred Dragon Legend promised support for the unit’s families and told them to protect Su Ping, while Su Anyong rebuked Li Feng for rejecting benefits on everyone’s behalf.
• The Sacred Dragon Legend revealed Lord Bai’s White Tiger form and led Su Ping and the unit toward the Heavenly Tomb.
• Su Ping asked about the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword and learned that the Sacred Dragon Legend could offer him the Dragon-Slayer Sword’s remains and cultivation legacy.
• The group crossed the White Bone Forbidden Ground and entered the Heavenly Tomb, where the darkness opened a passage for them.
• Su Ping reached the stone stele, took out the Heavenly Tomb Mark and Sword Seal, and an entity in Eagle Country sensed that he had arrived.

Su Ping entered the Heavenly Tomb alone, found that his tools and connections to his companions had failed, and faced a barren world where Qianyi could feed on the gray mist. After Qianyi and Su Ping broke through, the strange sounds returned, undead attacked again, and the shattered stone stele reappeared behind him.

• Su Ping realized he had been separated from the Heavenly Tomb Unit and that the Mutual Positioning Compass, Origami Figure, and Soul Contract communications could not locate his companions.
• Su Ping had Qianyi destroy a small stone tablet, which triggered an attack by more than a hundred undead that Qianyi defeated with one slash.
• Su Ping reached a wall of dense gray mist, and Qianyi absorbed a wisp of it, breaking through to Monarch Sixth Rank while Su Ping advanced to Monarch Tier Nine.
• The hammering sounds returned, but Qianyi did not hear them; Xiao Qing suffered from them, while the Heavenly Tomb Mark in Su Ping's soul flared and stopped his pain.
• Qianyi defeated a second group of undead, and Su Ping turned to find the shattered stone stele had reappeared behind him.

Su Ping remained trapped in the gray mist until the Paper-Folding Man led him to Zhu Linxin, who had found a black sword that let him pass through the mist. Zhu Linxin explained how the sword formed from the undead, then revealed that he had grown accustomed to the mysterious clangs that still tormented Su Ping.

• Su Ping studied the stone tablet, endured another round of sword cries, and found that carrying the tablet into the gray mist made it crumble while death energy injured his hand.
• After two hours of waiting, the Paper-Folding Man pointed Su Ping toward a passage in the gray mist, where Zhu Linxin emerged unharmed.
• Su Ping questioned Zhu Linxin's identity and accepted him as genuine after the Five Elements Paper Spirit demonstrated its Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body.
• Zhu Linxin explained that the undead gathered around the stone tablet, transformed into energy after the sword cries, and formed a small black sword that shielded him from the gray mist.
• When the sword cries sounded again, Zhu Linxin said he had grown used to them, while Su Ping continued to suffer their unbearable pain.
