• Feng Wuxia led them to a huge lake of spiritual qi and said its hidden inner lake might be the legendary Innate Spiritual Water.

• The King of Darkness proposed cooperating with Xu Xuan to reach an opportunity that might let them become Spirits of the Heavenly Dao or Innate Gods.

Xu Xuan endured the inner lake’s extreme gravity, which tempered his Chaos Body and let him drive the King of Darkness away. He reached the lake’s center, where the Innate Spiritual Water had solidified around a clear spring containing a gestating embryo.

• Xu Xuan and the King of Darkness continued through the inner lake while debating whether the King should seek freedom from his original self.
• The King of Darkness discovered Xu Xuan was growing stronger under the gravity and fled rather than compete with him.
• Xu Xuan considered that the King of Darkness might have been tempted by his offer, but resolved to leave the outcome to fate.
• Xu Xuan pressed toward the center, where the gravity surged and strained his body.
• Xu Xuan saw a clear spring of the highest-quality Innate Spiritual Water and an embryo gestating within it.

Xu Xuan let the Space Goddess merge with a human-shaped Law Spirit, then immersed himself in the vast Innate Spiritual Water. As the water broke down his body and bones, he realized his Chaos Divine Body had been preventing him from advancing, but the chapter left him in danger of being completely dissolved.

• Xu Xuan wondered whether the human-shaped Law Spirit had formed naturally or had been planted by a powerful being.
• The Space Goddess told Xu Xuan that Law Spirits grew by devouring one another and begged to consume the embryo.

• The Space Goddess explained that the water would cleanse and strengthen Xu Xuan, and that his Chaos Divine Body had been restricting his growth.
• Xu Xuan stopped resisting the water, but it dissolved his flesh and began cracking his bones.

Xu Xuan survived the Innate Spiritual Water by retreating into an embryo, where he grew into a World-Opening Giant and broke out after consuming its innate spiritual qi. He escaped the collapsing lake with Lu Tianming and followed Feng Wuxia toward the next place, as she hinted that her presence in the Primordial Dao Province violated an agreement among the Three Great Divine Provinces.

• The Innate Spiritual Water dissolved Xu Xuan’s white jade bones and began corroding his divine soul, but a tiny embryo pulled him inside.

• Feng Wuxia dismissed the lost spiritual qi as a minor opportunity and led Xu Xuan and Lu Tianming toward the next place.
• Feng Wuxia told Xu Xuan and Lu Tianming that the Three Great Divine Provinces’ agreement barred someone of her cultivation level from entering the Primordial Dao Province.

• Xu Xuan broke through his realm and learned that the Sacrificial Secret Art could help cultivators become Great Emperors under the Heavenly Dao’s protection.
• Xu Xuan left seclusion, and Feng Wuxia led him and Lu Tianming toward the Soul Sea after warning them about outsiders.
• Lu Tianming fell onto the Soul Sea’s surface, while Xu Xuan landed in a separate world within a droplet of black water.
• The Space Goddess explained that each droplet contained a small world, and Xu Xuan found himself sealed inside one.
• A black-robed old man appeared and offered Xu Xuan an inheritance if he defeated him, or death if he lost.

Xu Xuan was drawn into an illusion where an old man’s demonstration taught him how to fuse his power perfectly with heaven, earth, and nature, increasing his combat strength.

After killing a Horned Devil Race youth who tried to attack him, Xu Xuan absorbed the youth’s martial inheritances and grew wary of the Soul Sea.

• Xu Xuan shattered a dream of a giant bird and heavenly tribulations, destroying the attacking Divine Soul and acquiring fragments of the Dream-Entering Killing Technique.
• Xu Xuan learned that Soul Sea trial participants could leave after receiving initial benefits, but continuing meant competing in a deadly selection where the first to complete an inheritance could kill the others.

• The youth’s body dissolved, and Xu Xuan absorbed his cultivation insights and martial inheritances, realizing that the Soul Sea distributed the dead’s spoils to victors.

Xu Xuan faced a trial for the Slaughter Dao in the Soul Sea, where he was forced to kill countless copies of himself and endure the terror and resentment surrounding each death. After breaking the trial with his Dream Entry Method, he used it to drag an attacker into the dream, though he remained unsure how badly his real body had been injured.

• An ancient old man offered Xu Xuan the Slaughter Dao and demanded that he kill everyone in a vision to prove himself worthy.
• Xu Xuan discovered that the bound people were all copies of him and began killing them one by one because the Soul Sea’s Laws trapped him there.
• Xu Xuan resisted the fear and resentment of the slaughter, grasped the Slaughter Dao’s essence, and used his Dream Entry Method to transform the victims into copies of the old man.
• Xu Xuan slaughtered the old man’s copies until the trial’s seemingly endless crowd dwindled.
• A young man of the sea race appeared in the dream after Xu Xuan’s Dream Entry Method dragged him inside when he tried to kill Xu Xuan.
• Xu Xuan realized his inheritance trial had cost too much time and wondered how severely his real body had been injured.

Xu Xuan and Lu Tianming emerged from the Soul Sea, where Xu Xuan had gained a new understanding of cultivation, and Feng Wuxia explained the peak Saint realm and the Clearfeather Realm’s origins. The three hurried deeper into the realm after learning other prodigies had arrived, and Xu Xuan sensed Feng Wuxia’s main body fighting the Light and Darkness Kings ahead.

• Xu Xuan realized that further refining his combat skills within his current realm mattered less than advancing his cultivation realm, and Feng Wuxia’s call brought him and Lu Tianming out of the Soul Sea.

Xu Xuan entered Magnetic Mountain and discovered that its power of karma transformed his body and cultivation, rapidly advancing him to the peak of the High-Stage Saint realm. Feng Wuxia continued fighting the Light and Darkness Kings as they argued over how to escape the mountain’s laws.

• Feng Wuxia warned Xu Xuan and Lu Tianming that anyone entering Magnetic Mountain could not leave unless they became its master, then merged with her true body to fight the Light and Darkness Kings.

• Xu Xuan cultivated under the mountain’s immense pressure, which strengthened his meridians and spiritual qi while advancing him to the peak of the High-Stage Saint realm.
• Xu Xuan asked Feng Wuxia about the pressure, and she identified it as the power of karma.
• The King of Light argued that only one survivor could fulfill the laws’ agreement and gain a chance to leave, while the King of Darkness insisted they could still comprehend the laws.

Xu Xuan comprehended how Magnetic Mountain embodied Karma and escaped its suppression, then confronted the King of Light. Though badly hurt by the King’s attack, Xu Xuan survived his full-strength counterattack as another King of Darkness arrived.

• Xu Xuan absorbed Magnetic Mountain’s memories through his Chaos aura and realized that Karma’s power came from how many living beings remembered and cared about an event.

Xu Xuan and Feng Wuxia turned the battle against the Kings of Light and Darkness, and Xu Xuan killed the King of Light by extracting and consuming his life origin. He gained the King of Light’s insights into Magnetic Mountain and Karmic Law, then began recovering while Feng Wuxia prepared to deal with the King of Darkness.

• The King of Light offered to surrender, but Feng Wuxia and Xu Xuan continued attacking him and trapped him on the Magnetic Mountain.
• The King of Light self-detonated, and the Magnetic Mountain drew most of the blast’s force into itself, destroying him.
• Xu Xuan urged everyone to contemplate the Magnetic Mountain’s laws, while Feng Wuxia tried to keep up with his understanding.
