Chapter Summaries

Li Dalong, Ye Wuxia, and Ke Xialing survived a brutal sea battle against the sinister man and his companions, but their apparent escape turned to crisis when Ke Xialing collapsed from a hidden poison attack. Li Dalong discovered a deadly black energy spreading through her heart meridians, while the tiny insect that had poisoned her fell into the sea.

• The talisman attack damaged the spirit boat and Li Dalong's Starry Sky Divine Shield, leaving him injured as the enemy group pressed its assault.
• Li Dalong coordinated with Ye Wuxia and Ke Xialing to target the weakest man in blue, then killed him with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Strike.
• The sinister man summoned a Demon Beast, which self-destructed and blasted Li Dalong, Ye Wuxia, and Ke Xialing away.
• The sinister man and his companions retreated after the explosion, secretly releasing a tiny black insect into the seawater as the three survivors fled.
• Ke Xialing suddenly collapsed, and Li Dalong found black energy corroding the meridians around her heart while a venomous insect remained embedded in her calf.

Li Dalong stabilized Ke Xialing after discovering she had been poisoned, but he could not identify or remove the poison. Ye Wuxia contacted her father for help, and he promised to send Grandmaster Yang Qingyang and guards to the Joyful Arrival Inn.

• Li Dalong gave Ke Xialing an Antidote Pill and carried her with Ye Wuxia back to the Joyful Arrival Inn in Blue Sea City.
• Li Dalong used a Spirit-Gathering Array to stabilize Ke Xialing while Ye Wuxia recovered her Immortal Power and kept watch.
• After recovering, Li Dalong tried to expel the poison but stopped when Ke Xialing showed unbearable pain.
• Li Dalong asked Ye Wuxia whether she knew a poison specialist, and she proposed asking her father to send Uncle Yang from the Pill Hall.
• Ye Wuxia contacted Ye Xingchen, told him she was safe and Ke Xialing was poisoned, and asked him to send Yang Qingyang.
• Ye Xingchen agreed to dispatch guards from the Blue Sea City office and send Yang Qingyang with a team from the sect.

Ye Xingchen sent Meng Gang to investigate the attack on Ye Wuxia and dispatched Yang Qingyang to treat her poisoned friend, Ke Xialing. Yang Qingyang reached Sun Moon Island and began examining Ke Xialing, but he could not yet identify the unusual poison.

• Ye Xingchen ordered Meng Gang to investigate who attacked Ye Wuxia and eliminate the culprit and the force behind them.
• Ye Xingchen asked Yang Qingyang to travel to Sun Moon Island and detoxify Ye Wuxia’s friend, and Yang Qingyang agreed.
• Yang Qingyang traveled by teleportation formation and ship to Blue Sea City, where Wang Zhentao met him and escorted him to Ye Wuxia.
• Ye Wuxia hurried Yang Qingyang to Ke Xialing’s room, where Li Dalong had been protecting her heart meridians with Immortal Power.
• Yang Qingyang examined Ke Xialing and found that her severe, tenacious poison was unfamiliar to him.

Yang Qingyang struggled to identify and neutralize the rare poison afflicting Ke Xialing, leaving her life dependent on Li Dalong’s Immortal Power while he returned to the sect to consult its records. Meanwhile, Meng Gang investigated the attackers on Sun Moon Island but found no clues.

• Yang Qingyang refined two batches of Antidote Pills for Ke Xialing, but neither had enough effect to remove the poison.
• Yang Qingyang warned Ye Xingchen through a Jade Talisman that the poison was dangerous and urged his investigators to guard against the enemy’s use of poison.
• After identifying the toxin as a rare poison from ancient times, Yang Qingyang left a Heart-Protecting Pill and returned to the sect to consult its library records.
• Li Dalong kept Ke Xialing alive by protecting her heart meridians and driving Immortal Power through her body, while Ye Wuxia asked Ye Xingchen to find the culprits.
• Meng Gang investigated the attack site and searched near the Joyful Arrival Inn and surrounding streets, but found no clues.

Meng Gang bought intelligence from Void Spirit about the attackers on Sun Moon Island and learned that Han Chu, a Five Poisons Sect deacon, led the ambush. After discovering the sect’s hidden base and several local strongholds, Meng Gang reported the findings to Sect Master Ye Xingchen for a decision on what to do next.

• Meng Gang asked Void Spirit’s manager to identify the attackers and paid a deposit for information.
• After two days without clues from his own investigation, Meng Gang returned to the tavern and paid for the Jade Slip.
• Meng Gang learned that Han Chu was a middle-stage Golden Immortal and a Five Poisons Sect deacon who led eight people in the attack.
• Meng Gang studied Void Spirit’s map and intelligence about Han Chu’s concealed island base and Five Poisons Sect bases on Sun Moon Island.
• Meng Gang contacted Sect Master Ye Xingchen and reported the intelligence.

Meng Gang destroyed the Five Poisons Sect’s forces on Sun Moon Island, captured Han Chu, and learned the ancient poison’s cold yin nature. Yang Qingyang used that information to understand why his antidote pills had failed and began revising the formula.

• Ye Xingchen ordered Meng Gang to wipe out the Five Poisons Sect’s forces on Sun Moon Island after learning they had ambushed Ye Wuxia.
• Meng Gang coordinated reinforcements and led the Limitless Immortal Sect’s teams in destroying every Five Poisons Sect stronghold and capturing Han Chu alive.
• Meng Gang soul-searched Han Chu, uncovering the Five Poisons Sect’s ambitions and learning that the ancient poison came from a deserted island in the Sea of Oblivion and had a cold yin nature.
• Meng Gang reported his findings to Ye Xingchen, Ye Wuxia, and Yang Qingyang.
• Yang Qingyang realized the poison’s concealed cold yin nature had made his earlier antidote pills ineffective and began revising the Detoxification Pill Formula.

Yang Qingyang refined a stronger antidote and expelled the remaining poison from Ke Xialing, saving her life. With Ke Xialing still unconscious but out of danger, he insisted that Ye Wuxia return to the sect, while arranging guards for Ke Xialing and Li Dalong.

• Yang Qingyang tested an antidote on Ke Xialing, but it only weakened the poison temporarily before the toxins began spreading again.
• Yang Qingyang created a stronger formula and refined a new batch of antidote pills.
• Yang Qingyang and Li Dalong used the antidote and their Immortal Power to clear most of Ke Xialing's toxins, then Yang Qingyang forced the poison near her heart and brain out through her middle finger.
• Ke Xialing's Immortal Power resumed circulating, and Li Dalong thanked Yang Qingyang before helping her recover.
• Yang Qingyang told Ye Wuxia she had to return to the sect, and she agreed to notify Li Dalong and arrange protection for him and Ke Xialing.
• Yang Qingyang offered to have people from Blue Sea City guard Li Dalong and Ke Xialing at the inn.

Li Dalong guarded Ke Xialing through her recovery, then brought her safely back to the Cloud Glow Sect and supplied her with pills. After returning to his courtyard, he signed in and received the Grand Void Sword Formula.

• Yang Qingyang arranged for four Taiyi Golden Immortal experts to guard Li Dalong and Ke Xialing, then left with Ye Wuxia.
• Li Dalong cultivated while watching over Ke Xialing, who woke a day later and gradually regained her strength.
• After half a month, Li Dalong took Ke Xialing back to the Cloud Glow Sect by Teleportation Formation and told Ke Meili what had happened.
• Li Dalong gave Ke Xialing pills and Immortal Medicine to help her recover and support Ke Meili's cultivation.
• Li Dalong returned to his courtyard, signed in with the system, and obtained the Grand Void Sword Formula.

Li Dalong studied the Grand Void Sword Formula with Enlightenment Tea and mastered all four forms, including the spatial-law technique Void. His breakthrough created a Heavenly Dao phenomenon that helped the entire Cloud Glow Sect and left its Immortal Vein stronger.

• Li Dalong read the Grand Void Sword Formula and began studying it with Enlightenment Tea.
• When his prepared tea ran out, Li Dalong chewed leaves from the Enlightenment Tea tree to deepen his insights.
• As Li Dalong approached mastery of Void, a mysterious phenomenon spread from his room across the Cloud Glow Sect and aided its disciples and elders.
• Ke Meili and the elders recognized the opportunity and ordered every disciple to meditate and cultivate, prompting many breakthroughs.
• Li Dalong mastered the Grand Void Sword Formula, and the phenomenon faded after improving the sect's Immortal Vein and leaving its Immortal Spiritual Qi denser than before.

Li Dalong mastered the Grand Void Sword Formula and continued cultivating as the three major sects crushed the Five Poisons Sect and the years passed. Just as Li Dalong reached the late Golden Immortal realm, Zhou Xue sent an urgent plea for help.

• Li Dalong discovered that he had nearly stripped the Enlightenment Tree of its leaves, assessed the gains from mastering the Grand Void Sword Formula, and entered the Creation Cultivation Tower to cultivate.
• Ke Xialing benefited from the heavenly phenomenon, drank Enlightenment Tea, and rapidly recovered and advanced her cultivation.
• Ye Xingchen, Long Zongyuan, and Lei Zhenxiao agreed to use the Five Poisons Sect's actions on Sun Moon Island as grounds for a joint crackdown, destroying its forces beyond its core territory.
• After the Five Poisons Sect was suppressed, the Immortal Realm entered a peaceful period; Ke Xialing and Ye Wuxia later cultivated in the Creation Cultivation Tower.
• Five years later, Yun Yao and Zhou Tianlong reached the early Profound Immortal stage, Ke Xialing and Ye Wuxia reached the late Heavenly Immortal realm, and Li Dalong reached the late Golden Immortal realm.
• Li Dalong received an urgent message from Zhou Xue, who called for help.

After Zhou Xue sent a broken plea for help from Flame Mountain, Li Dalong rushed to Illusory Moon City and paid to teleport directly to Desert City. He left for Flame Mountain, where Zhou Xue remained in danger amid the newly discovered underground world.

• Zhou Xue called Li Dalong for help from Flame Mountain's Lava Maze before her Communication Jade Token signal cut out.
• Li Dalong left a message for Ke Xialing, Yun Yao, and the others, telling them to stay in the Cloud Glow Sect while he went to rescue Zhou Xue.
• At Illusory Moon City's Teleportation Hall, Li Dalong learned that a mysterious underground world at Flame Mountain had drawn a crowd seeking ancient treasures and inheritances.
• Li Dalong paid five hundred high-grade immortal stones to charter an individual Teleportation Formation to Desert City.
• Before departing, Li Dalong tossed Zhao Wu a Storage Ring, then teleported away.

Li Dalong bought an updated map and information in Desert City, then traveled through Flame Mountain into the Underground World. He headed toward the Lava Maze to find Zhou Xue, who had not answered his repeated attempts to contact her.

• Zhao Wu found a hundred high-grade immortal stones and several pill bottles in Li Dalong's unbound Storage Ring and decided to examine them after his watch.
• Li Dalong bought Void Spirit's latest map and information about Flame Mountain and the Underground World for ten thousand high-grade immortal stones.
• Li Dalong flew through the crowded route to Flame Mountain and reached the entrance to the Underground World after more than a day of travel.
• Li Dalong entered the red Underground World, discovered that its heat strengthened his blood, and followed the map toward the Lava Maze.
• Li Dalong repeatedly contacted Zhou Xue with his Communication Jade Token but received no reply, and cultivators returning from the Lava Maze fled when he tried to approach them.

Li Dalong entered the dangerous Lava Maze and contacted Zhou Xue, who was injured and trapped in a cave by a Lava Giant Beast. He raced to rescue her but was ambushed by two masked Cultivators, who pursued him after he tried to avoid a fight.

• Li Dalong entered the Lava Maze, where flight was impossible and the shifting terrain made travel dangerous.
• Li Dalong contacted Zhou Xue, who said she was injured, out of pills, and trapped in a cave by a Lava Giant Beast.
• Li Dalong promised to reach Zhou Xue quickly and ran toward the maze's northeast corner, ignoring beasts and immortal medicine along the way.
• Two masked Cultivators ambushed Li Dalong with flying swords as he crossed a gully, but he blocked the attack and landed safely.
• The masked Cultivators demanded Li Dalong's Storage Ring, and when he ran on toward the maze, they chased him.

Li Dalong turned on the two Masked Men pursuing him, killing the stronger one with his newly mastered Grand Void Sword Formula before battling the other. The short, thin Masked Man was badly injured but fought on with two flying swords as Li Dalong pressed to finish the fight and hurry to rescue Zhou Xue.

• Li Dalong stopped fleeing and used Wind-Breaking to cut the tall Masked Man in two with a single strike.
• The short, thin Masked Man fled, but Li Dalong chased him and attacked with Moon-Slaying.
• The short, thin Masked Man turned to fight, and the two exchanged fierce sword attacks among Flame Mountain's rocks and lava.
• After their battle dragged on, the short, thin Masked Man unleashed a powerful Sword Qi attack, but Li Dalong countered with Moon-Slaying and injured him.
• The short, thin Masked Man summoned a second flying sword and continued fighting as Li Dalong attacked with all his strength.

Li Dalong defeated the small, thin masked man, recovered from his injuries, and reached the cave where Zhou Xue was trapped by a Lava Giant Beast. He began fighting the beast and targeted its vulnerable rear, but it recognized his plan and guarded the spot.

• Li Dalong used the Grand Void Sword Formula’s “Void” technique to behead the small, thin masked man, then found that Demon Beasts had devoured the tall masked man’s remains.
• Li Dalong healed his broken arm, restored his Immortal Power, and continued toward the Lava Cave where Zhou Xue was hiding.
• Li Dalong warned Zhou Xue to stay inside while he attacked the Lava Giant Beast guarding the cave entrance.
• Li Dalong discovered that ordinary sword strikes barely hurt the beast and decided to target the spot where its five grains completed their cycle.
• The Lava Giant Beast sensed Li Dalong’s intention and protected its vulnerable spot, leaving him unable to find an opening.

Li Dalong killed the Lava Giant Beast and rescued Zhou Xue from the cave. After she recovered enough to explain how her sect’s group had fallen victim to the beast, they stayed put until she could fully recover.

• Li Dalong used the Azure Rainbow Sword to destroy the Lava Giant Beast’s organs, heart, and brain, killing it.
• Li Dalong entered the cave and found Zhou Xue safe but exhausted, then gave her pills to heal her injuries and restore her immortal power.
• Li Dalong guarded Zhou Xue while she refined the pills and also restored his own immortal power.
• After a day and a night, Zhou Xue had mostly healed and told Li Dalong that demon beast attacks had killed all nine of her sect companions.
• Zhou Xue explained that her group had taken the Lava Giant Beast’s egg, prompting it to chase them until she escaped into the cave.
• Li Dalong told Zhou Xue to finish recovering before they decided what to do next.

Li Dalong explored deeper into the cave and discovered a lava river surrounded by rich immortal stone deposits and rare ores. He retrieved blazing flame jade and a piece of purple flame stone, then remained poised to investigate the dangerous lava further.

• Li Dalong concealed the cave entrance with a formation and ventured deeper while Zhou Xue recovered.
• He followed the descending, increasingly hot passage until he found a lava river and several glowing tunnels.
• Li Dalong uncovered numerous mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade immortal stones in the cave wall.
• He approached the lava river with his Starry Sky Divine Shield and Azure Rainbow Sword and spotted blazing flame jade floating in the lava.
• Li Dalong used a hand formed from Immortal Power to retrieve a piece of blazing flame jade, losing much of the hand's power and Divine Sense to the lava.
• He prepared a larger hand of Immortal Power and safely retrieved a fist-sized piece of purple flame stone.

Li Dalong and Zhou Xue mined a hidden lava cavern for immortal stones and rare ores, then left after several days to avoid attracting other cultivators. As they departed, Li Dalong signed in and obtained the Heaven-Covering Hand, a minor divine ability technique.

• Li Dalong collected blazing flame jade and purple flame stone from the lava and mined supreme-grade immortal stones from the cavern walls.
• Li Dalong returned to Zhou Xue and brought her to the treasure trove, where she mined while recovering her immortal power between strenuous sessions.
• Over several days, Li Dalong and Zhou Xue gathered more than a thousand supreme-grade immortal stones as Zhou Xue's cultivation advanced toward the late stage of the Profound Immortal realm.
• Li Dalong decided to leave because few ores were surfacing and other cultivators might discover the cavern; he gave Zhou Xue some of the rare ores and concealed the entrance with formations.
• Li Dalong signed in after setting up the formations and received the Heaven-Covering Hand, a minor divine ability technique that could attack, defend, intimidate, and restrain enemies.

Li Dalong and Zhou Xue escaped the Lava Maze after recovering from a brutal Flame Wolf attack, then returned to the Cloud Glow Sect with news of a valuable treasure ground. Li Dalong proposed that the Cloud Glow Sect cooperate with the Limitless Immortal Sect to develop it, while Ye Wuxia agreed to speak with her father and prepare him for Zhou Xue’s report.

• Li Dalong and Zhou Xue were ambushed by a pack of Flame Wolves, and Li Dalong used the Fourth Form of the Grand Void Sword Formula to wound the king and escape with Zhou Xue.
