Chapter Summaries

Xu Xuan gave cultivators a vision of creation that strengthened their Dao Hearts and powers, but the effort caused him to suffer a backlash. After recovering, he welcomed the returning cleanup force and explained the value of Blood Cores and Soul Cores as the Blood Clan threat loomed.

• The next day, Xu Xuan recovered and sent the returning cultivators into a cultivation sanctuary after hearing of their battle experience and the collected Blood Clan essence blood.
• Xu Xuan explained that Blood Cores and Soul Cores formed as powerful members of their respective clans accumulated too much energy, and that the cores contained valuable vitality.
