Chapter Summaries

Li Dalong defeated and killed Shi Yue after escaping the Rock-Armored Demon Turtle’s pincer attack, then hid to recover from using the Fourth Form of the Grand Void Sword Formula. Ouyang Zhenxiong learned of his grandson Ouyang Zhihua’s death and ordered his disciples to hunt for the murderer.

• Shi Yue tried to flee, but Li Dalong and the Rock-Armored Demon Turtle trapped him until he endured the turtle’s flames and broke free.

• Li Dalong swallowed Spirit-Replenishing Pills and absorbed energy from supreme-grade immortal stones while waiting for Void’s aftereffects to pass.

Li Dalong recovered and traveled to Black Wind Valley to train, unaware that Ouyang Zhenxiong was searching in vain for the killer of Ouyang Zhihua. After preparing escape formations and studying the valley’s patterns, Li Dalong set out to challenge a powerful Three-Headed Demon Wolf at night.

• Li Dalong regained his strength and continued toward Black Wind Valley while Ouyang Zhenxiong found Ouyang Zhihua’s remains and began searching for the killer.
• Ouyang Zhenxiong’s search failed because Li Dalong had killed the witnesses and stored Ouyang Zhihua’s possessions in the Heaven and Earth Pearl.
• Li Dalong fought and cultivated along the way, then reached Black Wind Valley and set up a concealed defensive formation at its entrance.
• Li Dalong explored the valley, learned that its demons grew stronger at night, and prepared a refuge formation near a cliff.
• Li Dalong waited in concealment for the late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal Three-Headed Demon Wolf, which arrived and began cautiously pacing the cliff.

Li Dalong fought and killed the strengthened Three-Headed Demon Wolf, then recovered before exploring deeper into Black Wind Valley. There, an Extraterrestrial Demon emerged from underground and attacked him with a gigantic black hand that his sword could not cut.

• A gigantic black demonic hand burst from the ground and grabbed at Li Dalong, but his Water-Cutting strikes only left a white mark.

• Li Dalong flew into the sky, and the Extraterrestrial Demon emerged from the earth and reached for him with its demonic hands.

• Li Dalong fled the valley, and the Extraterrestrial Demon failed to find his aura before retreating underground.
• Li Dalong cautiously continued onward, signed in with the system, and received a Teleportation Talisman that could ignore restrictions and teleport him up to a thousand miles.

Li Dalong fought a powerful Jade-Ring Demon Tiger in a black-mist zone and was swept through a spatial rupture caused by the beast. He arrived in a secluded small Secret Realm rich in Immortal Spiritual Qi and began exploring it.

• Li Dalong entered thick black mist that blocked his Divine Sense and was ambushed by a Jade-Ring Demon Tiger.
• The tiger badly wounded Li Dalong, breaking through his defenses as he struggled to fight in the mist.

• Li Dalong emerged in a lush Secret Realm with rich Immortal Spiritual Qi and began moving unusual plants, animals, and soil into the Heaven and Earth Pearl.

Li Dalong discovered a Jade Heart-Cleansing Lotus in a small secret realm and prepared to collect it after healing himself and repairing his armor. He drew out the lotus’s guardian, a powerful Earth Baleful Golden Carp, and launched an attack while seeking a chance to claim the treasure.

• Li Dalong explored the small secret realm and found a blooming Jade Heart-Cleansing Lotus beside a stream.
• Li Dalong set up a Defensive Formation, healed and replenished his immortal power, then spent two days repairing the Mount-Suppressing Immortal Armor.
• Li Dalong activated his defenses and tried to take the lotus, but a water arrow from beneath the pool destroyed his immortal-power hand.
• An Earth Baleful Golden Carp surfaced, and Li Dalong recognized it as a mutated beast near the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm that guarded the lotus.
• Li Dalong decided to fight the carp despite the danger and attacked it with the Wind-Breaking form of the Grand Void Sword Formula.

Li Dalong fought the Earth Baleful Golden Carp and tried to draw it away from the Jade Heart-Cleansing Lotus so he could attack it with talismans. The carp repeatedly struck him with its powerful tail and instantaneous movement, but Li Dalong wounded it with the Soul Chaser Sword and discovered its cry carried a divine soul attack.

• Li Dalong enraged the Earth Baleful Golden Carp with a sword attack, then lured it away from the Jade Heart-Cleansing Lotus as it pursued him.
• The Earth Baleful Golden Carp used instantaneous movement to strike Li Dalong with its tail, breaking his defenses and leaving him badly injured.
• Li Dalong recovered with a Supreme Healing Pill and led the carp several dozen li from the lotus, planning to bombard it with talismans.
• The carp appeared ahead of Li Dalong and smashed his Starry Sky Divine Shield aside, sending him flying before snapping at him.
• Li Dalong directed the Soul Chaser Sword at the carp and inflicted a deep wound, then realized its cry could attack his divine soul.

Li Dalong used Flame Dragon Talismans to badly wound the Earth Baleful Golden Carp and harvest the Jade Heart-Cleansing Lotus, then killed the carp from a distance with a sword strike. He left with the lotus secured in his System Space and the carp’s meat available to take back.

• Li Dalong dodged the Earth Balefal Golden Carp’s water arrow and used the Soul Chaser Sword to wound it again.
• Li Dalong dodged the carp’s tail attack, then hurled more than twenty Flame Dragon Talismans at it while flying toward the Jade Heart-Cleansing Lotus.
• The talismans blasted the Earth Balefal Golden Carp into a gravely wounded state as Li Dalong harvested the lotus and placed it in the System Space.
• Li Dalong attacked the carp from afar with a Heaven-Slaying Sword Strike, splitting it in two and killing it.
• Li Dalong saw that the carp’s meat remained edible and considered taking some back for his family and Sect Master father-in-law.

After recovering from his battle with the Earth Baleful Golden Carp, Li Dalong explored deeper into the Small Secret Realm and discovered a Spatial Rift draining away its immortal spiritual qi. He realized the rift led to Black Wind Valley and could offer an escape, but the realm’s growing instability left him in danger.

• Li Dalong stored the dead Earth Baleful Golden Carp, healed his injuries, and replenished his immortal power before setting out again.
• Li Dalong concealed his aura and cautiously explored beyond the stream where he had found the Jade Heart-Cleansing Lotus.
• Li Dalong followed a growing current of immortal spiritual qi through barren terrain, using his immortal power to resist the suction.
• Li Dalong sensed a Spatial Rift ahead and realized it was draining the Small Secret Realm’s spiritual qi and threatening to destroy it.
• Li Dalong traveled closer and confirmed that the Spatial Rift opened into Black Wind Valley, where black demonic qi churned beyond it.

Li Dalong escaped the collapsing Small Secret Realm through a spatial rift and returned to Black Wind Valley, where he recovered his immortal power and prepared to go home. As he set out, an unseen assailant ambushed him; after a second attack, he finally spotted a small humanoid demon whose blows overwhelmed him.

• Li Dalong crossed the spatial passage into Black Wind Valley, set up a formation, and spent eight hours restoring his nearly depleted immortal power.
• Li Dalong spent two days collecting his formations and surviving attacks from demon beasts and demons before heading toward the valley entrance with his spoils.
• An unseen enemy struck Li Dalong and left him badly injured, so he raised his protective barriers and searched for the attacker with his divine sense.
• When an energy fluctuation appeared, Li Dalong swallowed a Supreme Healing Pill, raised his shield, and sent sword qi toward it, but the enemy struck first and sent him flying.
• Li Dalong's sword qi hit the attacker without harming it, and his divine sense revealed a small, black humanoid demon.

Li Dalong used Red Firmament Immortal Lightning Talismans to injure the hidden Dark Creature and barely escaped into his Defensive Formation. He held the creature off while healing and maintaining the formation, then planned to flee to No. 65 Small Base after it weakened further.

• Li Dalong realized he could not detect or reliably fight the fast Dark Creature, so he used a Red Firmament Immortal Lightning Talisman to repel it.
• Li Dalong unleashed his four remaining Red Firmament Immortal Lightning Talismans and fled toward the Defensive Formation, but the enraged creature struck him again.
• Li Dalong used the Starry Sky Divine Shield to survive the creature's next blow and reach the Defensive Formation, which blocked the creature and retaliated with Sword Qi.
• Li Dalong healed himself and attacked the creature with the Soul Chaser Sword while replacing the formation's depleted Supreme-Grade Immortal Stones.
• The wounded creature grew slower under Li Dalong's and the formation's attacks, and Li Dalong planned to escape to No. 65 Small Base once it weakened further.

Li Dalong injured a demon with a Lesser Yin Spirit Water attack and fled toward No. 65 Small Base, but the demon pursued him and attacked cultivators along the way. As a growing crowd of fleeing cultivators formed around him, Li Dalong slowed down to recover his nearly depleted immortal power.

• Li Dalong used Lesser Yin Spirit Water Talismans to injure the demon, then escaped toward No. 65 Small Base as the blast destroyed his defensive formation.
• The demon recovered from its injuries enough to pursue Li Dalong, following his scent out of Black Wind Valley.
• After hours of flight, Li Dalong sensed cultivators fleeing toward him and realized the demon was still closing in.
• Li Dalong warned passing cultivators to run, and more and more joined the flight toward No. 65 Small Base.
• The demon killed and ate cultivators who ignored the warning, replenishing its power while the delay gave Li Dalong time to escape.
• Li Dalong replenished his immortal power as he flew among the crowd, slowing down because he had little strength left.

Li Dalong escaped a demon attack after two Great Luo Golden Immortal guardians intervened, then recovered and advanced to the mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal level. He returned to the Cloud Glow Sect and relaxed in his courtyard, finding that his companions were still away or in seclusion.

• Two Great Luo Golden Immortal guardians pursued and killed the demon that had attacked the fleeing cultivators near Small Base No. 65.

Li Dalong prepared for Ke Xialing and Ye Wuxia to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and Ke Xialing was the first to undergo her heavenly tribulation. After surviving its final bolt inside a cocoon of lightning, Ke Xialing’s strengthening aura suggested she was receiving a rare baptism from the tribulation lightning.

• Li Dalong arranged a Spirit-Gathering Array with supreme-grade immortal stones to support the women’s breakthroughs and keep their cultivation from affecting the Cloud Glow Sect.
• Ke Xialing broke through her bottleneck first, so Li Dalong took her to the sect’s Back Mountain while Ke Meili organized guards.
• Ke Xialing faced the heavenly tribulation, using her flying sword and Defensive Formation to withstand its bolts as Li Dalong and Ke Meili watched.
• The final bolt destroyed Ke Xialing’s flying sword and enveloped her in lightning, but her aura gradually strengthened as the tribulation clouds dispersed.

Ke Xialing successfully broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and Li Dalong returned with her to the Small Courtyard so she could consolidate her cultivation.

• Ye Wuxia endured thirty-six bolts of lightning, refined the tribulation lightning within her, and reached the early-stage Golden Immortal level with her injuries healed.
• After consolidating her gains, Ye Wuxia awakened, told Li Dalong she had succeeded, and embraced him.

After Ye Wuxia and Ke Xialing stabilized their cultivation, Li Dalong recovered from exhaustion and reunited with Ke Xialing. The couple visited Ke Meili, where Li Dalong gave her Earth Baleful Golden Carp meat and considered ways to help her cultivate faster.

• Li Dalong considered setting up a Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Formation to help Ke Meili and other family members cultivate faster.

After Ye Xingchen discovered how quickly the couple had advanced in cultivation, Ye Wuxia cleared the room and he sealed it with a Protective Barrier for their private conversation.

• Li Dalong and Ke Xialing reunited at home, and the next day he sensed that Ye Wuxia had emerged from seclusion.
• Li Dalong offered to set up a Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Formation for Ye Xingchen and bring gifts, so he and Ye Wuxia left for the Limitless Immortal Sect.

• Ye Xingchen was astonished by Ye Wuxia and Li Dalong's cultivation breakthroughs, then happily confirmed that Li Dalong's Earth Baleful Golden Carp meat was genuine.
• Ye Wuxia sent the maidservants away, and Ye Xingchen cast a Protective Barrier around the room.

Li Dalong revealed that he had obtained a formation that made time pass ten times faster and set one up in each of Ye Xingchen and Madam Yuehua’s cultivation chambers. After verifying the formation, Ye Xingchen decided to keep it secret, and Li Dalong and Ye Wuxia returned home.

While Li Dalong, Ke Xialing, and their companion cultivated in seclusion, the discovery of an ancient sect’s ruins sparked a costly war between the Immortal Realm Alliance and the extraterritorial aliens. The Alliance eventually secured the ruins and opened them to cultivators for points, though deadly formations and beasts continued to claim treasure hunters.
