Chapter Summaries

Ying Huaixu watched the Taiyin Saintess imitate the system’s automatic talisman crafting and helped her find the Taiyin Essence, only for her to discover that his Spiritual Power surpassed it. Her analysis made him suspect the Main Quest and the Heavenly Dao were guiding him toward the world’s hidden potential.

• The Taiyin Saintess figured out how to use Mental Strength to make a Spirit Brush draw talismans automatically, and Ying Huaixu reconsidered how extraordinary the system’s functions were.

• The Taiyin Saintess located the Taiyin Essence, and Ying Huaixu led her to a side hall where she broke the formation and retrieved it.
• After comparing the Taiyin Essence with Ying Huaixu’s Spiritual Power, the Taiyin Saintess concluded that his power followed higher rules and swore not to reveal what she had learned.
• Ying Huaixu connected the Taiyin Saintess’s appearance and abilities to the Main Quest and asked whether she had really come only to find the underground palace.

Ying Huaixu, Xu Yaoyang, and the Taiyin Saintess explored the underground palace in search of the Taiyin Old Ancestor and uncovered a room full of corpses and clues about the Extraterrestrial Demons. They found the Old Ancestor alive in the form of a tiny rabbit.

• Xu Yaoyang revealed that the Saint Lord had sent him to explore the underground palace and encouraged him to develop feelings for the Taiyin Saintess.

• Ying Huaixu directed Xu Yaoyang to burn a hole downward, and the three reached an underground chamber filled with bloody water and corpses.
• The Taiyin Saintess and Ying Huaixu reasoned that the Extraterrestrial Demons might be trying to steal something valuable, while Xu Yaoyang suspected the Great Sun Saint Lord had a hidden agenda.
• Ying Huaixu and the Taiyin Saintess found the Old Ancestor alive as a palm-sized rabbit, and the Taiyin Saintess recognized his soul aura.

Ying Huaixu and the Taiyin Saintess confronted the weakened Taiyin Old Ancestor, while Xu Yaoyang balked at being sent to help He Xiuyuan with too few Revival Pills. The Old Ancestor offered to lead the Saintess to his inheritance, but she insisted on placing the Taiyin Soul-Locking Curse on him first.

• Ying Huaixu parried the Taiyin Old Ancestor’s kick and sent the rabbit crashing into a cave wall.
• The Taiyin Saintess slapped the Old Ancestor until he admitted defeat, while Ying Huaixu and Xu Yaoyang bickered nearby.
• Ying Huaixu gave Xu Yaoyang over a hundred Revival Pills and asked him to help He Xiuyuan, but Xu Yaoyang complained that the supply was too small for the danger.
• The Taiyin Old Ancestor recognized Ying Huaixu as He Xixiang’s disciple and suggested that he and the Taiyin Saintess made a good match.
• The Taiyin Old Ancestor offered to guide the Taiyin Saintess to his inheritance, and she said she would first place the Taiyin Soul-Locking Curse on him.

The Taiyin Saintess tested the rabbit by threatening to kill him, then made him lead the group toward the inheritance. The rabbit explained how he had been blasted into the Starry Sky when He Xixiang struck the valley after Lü Qingyi’s failed tribulation.

• The Taiyin Saintess placed a Taiyin Soul-Locking Curse on the rabbit and considered killing him to search his soul, but he fled when he realized she could hear his thoughts.
• The Taiyin Saintess pursued the rabbit and cast the curse again, making him fall in agony before Ying Huaixu and Xu Yaoyang.
• The Taiyin Saintess stopped once the rabbit failed to remove the curse and declared that he had passed her test, then ordered him to lead them to the inheritance.
• The rabbit told Ying Huaixu and the Taiyin Saintess that Lü Qingyi had defeated him with one sword strike when he challenged her after reaching the perfected heaven-and-earth true immortal realm.
• The rabbit explained that he had been cultivating in the Taiyin Life-Transforming Pool when Lü Qingyi’s tribulation went awry, Cheng Yingtian died saving her, and He Xixiang’s punch blasted him into the Starry Sky.

Ying Huaixu and the others heard the Taiyin Old Ancestor describe a mysterious Universe Sea surrounding their world, then opened her cave abode to investigate her past. Inside, they found her corpse among piles of alien heads and discovered a scroll recording her years of killing aliens for the Heavenly Dao.

• The Taiyin Old Ancestor insisted she had not attacked Lü Qingyi, and the group marveled at Lü Qingyi's recovery after her Dao foundation was destroyed.
• The Taiyin Old Ancestor recalled seeing their world enclosed by the Universe Sea, sealed by formations, and watched by enormous figures.
• Ying Huaixu solved the cave abode's stone-pillar puzzle and opened its doors, though he claimed he did not know formations.
• The group entered the cave abode and found alien heads surrounding the Taiyin Old Ancestor's bloodied corpse.
• The Taiyin Old Ancestor read her scroll, which recounted her alien-killing missions, the Heavenly Dao's promised rewards, and her eventual death.

Ying Huaixu and the others learned why the other races had brought the Star-Devouring Clan world into their realm as a secret realm: they wanted to eliminate Ying Huaixu after he killed powerful outsiders by brute force. The rabbit explained the other races’ strength rankings, leaving the Taiyin Saintess eager to examine the Taiyin Scripture.

• The rabbit recovered memories of fleeing her pursuers into a low-level greater world and learned that it had become a secret realm of the Hongmeng World.
• Xu Yaoyang explained that the world had been brought over to target Ying Huaixu and the Divine Firmament Sword Sect.
• The rabbit revealed that the Azure Fox Lady belonged to the Green Fox Clan’s royalty and was a three-color king, and she understood why the other races feared Ying Huaixu after he killed her and members of the Falling Star Clan by brute force.
• The rabbit explained that the other races ranked potential from commoner to king-grade, with kings ranging from one color to nine, and that each color represented a tenfold strength gap.
• The Taiyin Saintess recognized how exceptional Ying Huaixu was and asked the rabbit to show her the Taiyin Scripture.

Ying Huaixu found a broken World Jade fragment that could unlock a level of the world's treasury, and realized the outsiders had tried to keep it from the rabbit. The Taiyin Saintess concluded that Ying Huaixu had risked entering the Secret Realm because he had foreseen the fragment's importance and possessed a way to repair it.

• The rabbit destroyed his own corpse and retrieved a book from its chest, while the Taiyin Saintess rejected the Taiyin Scripture because her own cultivation technique surpassed it.
• The rabbit asked Xu Yaoyang about his abilities, and Xu Yaoyang explained that he grew stronger by using a Yang-Collecting Cultivation Technique on himself without dying.
• Ying Huaixu searched the Secret Realm for the truth behind his quest but found no clues, even with the True World Eye.
• The rabbit remembered stealing a fragment from outsiders and handed it to Ying Huaixu, who recognized it as World Jade and explained that it could unlock a level of the world's treasury.
• The Taiyin Saintess inferred that Ying Huaixu had risked entering the Secret Realm for the World Jade and had a way to repair it, prompting him to realize the Creation Spirit-Nurturing Milk could fix the fragment.

Ying Huaixu learned that the Outsiders were suppressing the Hongmeng World and targeting people bearing heavenly fortune, including Ye Ningshuang and now himself. He resolved to clear the Star Sea Secret Realm and fight the Outsiders, believing it was the world’s only chance to survive.

• Ying Huaixu concluded that a higher existence had suppressed Lü Qingyi and the world’s Heavenly Dao to prevent the Hongmeng World from awakening.
• Ying Huaixu contacted Ye Ningshuang, who told him about a ruin containing an Outsider Marshal’s account of the Outsiders’ orders and their hunt for people bearing heavenly fortune.
• Ying Huaixu questioned the rabbit about revealing its kill achievements among the Outsiders, which had led to the Marshal’s death and a major investigation.
• Ying Huaixu suspected the World Jade Fragment could help turn the situation around but decided he had to clear the Star Sea Secret Realm first.
• Ying Huaixu accepted that fighting through the Star Sea Great World was his only chance to delay the Outsiders’ invasion and survive.

Ying Huaixu considered using game strategies to prepare the Divine Firmament Sword Sect for the coming schemes, but Lü Qingyi warned that his plan depended on overcoming the Star Sea Secret Realm. He then considered recruiting the upright Taiyin Saintess, who suspected he was plotting something.

• Ying Huaixu decided to focus on clearing the main quest and considered holding down the world level to prepare a powerful build.
• Ying Huaixu asked Lü Qingyi to divine how much time he had, then explained his plan to prepare the sect's core disciples.
• Lü Qingyi said there was some time, but the Star Sea Secret Realm was the key obstacle to Ying Huaixu's plan.
• Ying Huaixu considered recruiting the Taiyin Saintess as a reliable teammate.
• The Taiyin Saintess called Ying Huaixu First Yin and said his gaze made her think he was plotting, while Xu Yaoyang laughed.

Ying Huaixu tried to recruit the Taiyin Saintess, then summoned He Xiuyuan and learned about his fight with He Shurong. Xu Yaoyang pieced together the Great Sun Saint Lord’s scheme and realized He Xiuyuan was the most favored one, protected from its dangers and left with a powerful backer.

• Ying Huaixu offered to help the Taiyin Saintess grow stronger and called He Xiuyuan to demonstrate his success.
• He Xiuyuan arrived bruised after fighting He Shurong and explained that his Revival Pill made him stronger through his Forbidden Technique’s aftereffects.
• Xu Yaoyang questioned why the Great Sun Saint Lord had made him Holy Son despite favoring He Fangxu and knowing the two would become enemies.
• Xu Yaoyang confirmed that He Shurong had come to retrieve He Fangxu’s corpse and inferred that the Great Sun Saint Lord was deliberately driving him toward rebellion.
• Xu Yaoyang concluded that He Xiuyuan had been kept outside the dangerous scheme and given a powerful backer, making him the Great Sun Saint Lord’s most favored child.

Xu Yaoyang encouraged He Xiuyuan’s resentment toward the Great Sun Sacred Ground while Ying Huaixu had him test the Taiyin Saintess’s strength. After she defeated He Xiuyuan, Ying Huaixu gave her fifty Revival Pills to test the waters with an unexplained challenge.

• Xu Yaoyang told He Xiuyuan that the Great Sun Sacred Ground held He Fangxu’s life soul but not his, prompting He Xiuyuan to curse the Great Sun Saint Lord for treating the brothers differently.
• Ying Huaixu asked He Xiuyuan to serve as the Taiyin Saintess’s strength test, and He Xiuyuan agreed after accepting that he was the best available entry threshold.
• The Taiyin Saintess fought He Xiuyuan to a draw after he activated his second restriction, then defeated him with Yin-Yang Reversal and explained how her cultivation balanced his power’s side effects.
• Ying Huaixu admired the Taiyin Saintess’s strength and support abilities, while she and the rabbit discussed her cultivation and the Taiyin Sacred Land’s customs.
• Ying Huaixu had He Xiuyuan give the Taiyin Saintess fifty Revival Pills so she could test the waters, leaving her wondering what would require fifty lives.

Ying Huaixu convinced the Taiyin Saintess to join the fight against the Star-Devouring Clan and showed her how the Divine Firmament Sword Sect used revival pills to battle without retreating. The Taiyin Saintess entered a fight of her own, but the Taiyin Old Ancestor’s revealed Merit Golden Ring enraged the Star-Devouring Clan and brought a relentless assault down on her.

• Ying Huaixu persuaded the Taiyin Saintess that she could not cooperate with the Outsiders and gave her a Revival Pill.
• Ying Huaixu led the group to a city, where He Xiuyuan demonstrated their tactics by repeatedly reviving and fighting until he wiped out the Star-Devouring Clan forces there.
• The Taiyin Saintess agreed to experience the fighting for herself, despite doubting the Divine Firmament Sword Sect’s approach to risking death.
• The Taiyin Old Ancestor revealed his Merit Golden Ring, causing the Star-Devouring Clan to attack the Taiyin Saintess with overwhelming reinforcements.

The Taiyin Saintess fought waves of Star-Devouring Clan soldiers, dying repeatedly before killing enough to force them to retreat. Afterward, she recognized the outsiders’ threat and decided the Taiyin Sacred Land needed to cooperate with Ying Huaixu and obtain Revival Pills.

• The Taiyin Saintess used her Taiji Formation to kill large numbers of Star-Devouring Clan fighters and advanced to the sixth layer of the Dao Seal realm.
• Hundreds of Star-Devouring Marshals shattered her formation, and Star-Devouring Generals killed her repeatedly as she revived.
• The Taiyin Saintess used Yin-Yang Reversal to crush the Star-Devouring forces, then continued fighting until the clan withdrew and her cultivation reached the seventh layer of the Dao Seal realm.
• The Taiyin Saintess asked the rabbit why it had revealed its merit halo, and the rabbit admitted it had wanted to show off.
• The Taiyin Saintess realized the outsiders could overwhelm their world and that the Taiyin Sacred Land needed Ying Huaixu’s Revival Pills.
• The Taiyin Saintess invited First Yin to discuss cooperation with Ying Huaixu.

Ying Huaixu secured an alliance with the Taiyin Saintess after learning that her sacred land controlled an enormous, danger-free herb realm. As the party headed toward a giant city nearer the Final Boss, Ying Huaixu perfected a mutated Taiyin sword technique and triggered the city's alarm.

• The Taiyin Saintess revealed her sacred land's abundant herbs and agreed to cooperate with Ying Huaixu, promising she could enforce the deal.
• Ying Huaixu and the Taiyin Saintess agreed on mutual aid, discounted herbs in exchange for Revival Pills, and monthly exchanges between their disciples; Zhuang Mu approved the arrangement.
• The Taiyin Saintess joined Ying Huaixu's party, and he led them toward a giant city because he still needed experience to level up.
• The little rabbit gave Ying Huaixu the Taiyin Sword Slash, which Ying Huaixu rerolled and upgraded into a powerful mutated technique.
• Ying Huaixu entered the city's attack range, triggering its alarm as defenders identified him as the one called Nine Blossoms Bloom and prepared to fight.

Ying Huaixu and his companions tested the defenses of a towering city, where enormous, formation-enhanced crossbows killed them despite their revival abilities. The Taiyin Saintess was struck by a stronger arrow than the others, and He Xiuyuan and Xu Yaoyang charged out again to test themselves against it.

• Ying Huaixu sent He Xiuyuan toward the city, where a giant crossbow bolt smashed him to pieces before he revived and reported that several crossbows detected strength and used starlight to recharge.
• Xu Yaoyang swallowed all his Revival Pills, explained that each created an extra soul imprint, and then went to test the defenses.
• Dozens of crossbow bolts crushed Xu Yaoyang repeatedly, and he returned to report that the city quickly replenished its supply.
• The Taiyin Saintess prepared her Revival Pills in a taiji disc and went out, but a special arrow struck and killed her before she could see it clearly.
• He Xiuyuan and Xu Yaoyang charged out again to face the special arrow and prove their strength.

He Xiuyuan and Xu Yaoyang attacked the Star-Devouring Clan’s enormous city, using their revival abilities to endure its deadly defenses. After Xu Yaoyang destroyed the outer city, a hidden inner city revealed an even larger weapon, and he barely survived its attack.

• Taiyin Old Ancestor realized that Ying Huaixu’s Revival Pills had changed how cultivators fought and hoped to regain his strength as a rabbit with a Taiyin Sacred Body.
• He Xiuyuan activated the Third Restriction and carved an opening through the city wall with his flaming sword before dying and reviving.
• Xu Yaoyang transformed with golden flames and used Great Sun Rainbow to melt the outer city, raising his cultivation to the Dao Seal Eighth Layer.
• The destroyed outer city revealed a mountain-like inner city shaped like an enormous crossbow, which fired a star at Xu Yaoyang.
• Ying Huaixu shielded himself from the explosion with an ice wall, then found Xu Yaoyang alive behind him, badly charred and wearing only boxer shorts.

Xu Yaoyang explained that the mountains stored the Star-Devouring Clan’s power and were tied to the world’s lifeblood, making the clan difficult to defeat. The group prepared to gather information and stock up on Revival Pills, while the Taiyin Old Ancestor reflected on how much the younger generation had surpassed his era.

• Xu Yaoyang told Ying Huaixu that the mountains gathered power from dead Star-Devouring Clan members and could enable them to resurrect, so defeating the clan would require overwhelming reserves.
• Tai Wangshu secretly extended Taiji Diagrams underground to lock buff coordinates onto the group, and Ying Huaixu suggested calling her Wangshu.
• Xu Yaoyang persuaded Ying Huaixu to refine more Revival Pills, then obtained five hundred and went to the Great Sun Sacred Ground to buy more materials.
• Tai Wangshu continued setting up formations as the Taiyin Old Ancestor compared the juniors’ cunning and strength with his generation and felt ashamed.
• Tai Wangshu reassured the Taiyin Old Ancestor that his past limitations were not his fault, but he wondered if she was calling him a good-for-nothing.

Ye Ningshuang learned that the Star-Devouring Clan might be storing its reserves in the mountains and preparing powerful breakthroughs, but she decided her group had to destroy the Star Sea World regardless of the cost. She ordered Qiu Shiyi to attack the enormous city, and Qin Erniu charged into a barrage of Giant Arrows.

• Chen Zhiyuan reported that the Star-Devouring Ancestor and others were issuing orders from hiding, and that the power of dead Star-Devouring Clan members flowed into the mountains.
• Ye Ningshuang said they would fight with their lives and destroy the Star Sea World, while Chen Zhiyuan admitted he could not create a safe route out of the secret realm.
• Ye Ningshuang concluded there was no need to worry about escape and ordered Qiu Shiyi to take the enormous city.
• Qin Erniu joined the attack and charged into the Giant Arrows, knocking them aside or smashing them with his shield.

Qin Erniu, Qiu Shiyi, Ye Ningshuang, Huang Tianqi, and Chen Zhiyuan devastated the Star-Devouring Clan’s giant cities after learning that its Old Ancestors were in seclusion. Ying Huaixu abandoned his cautious plan and ordered an immediate assault, leaving He Xiuyuan to charge ahead in his Three Prohibitions state.

• Qin Erniu rampaged through a giant city, grew stronger as his injuries mounted, destroyed the city, and used a Revival Pill to restore his body.
• Qiu Shiyi used Weak Water to turn the Star-Devouring Clan’s bolts against a city and then swept through its defenses, drowning its inhabitants alongside Qin Erniu’s assault.
• A Star-Devouring Marshal urged the clan members to hold their ground while the Old Ancestors were in seclusion, and Ye Ningshuang responded by ordering the group to kill and advance.
• Huang Tianqi erased cities, Chen Zhiyuan raised and crushed cities with formations, and Ye Ningshuang’s mist turned the Star-Devouring Clan’s dead into red spider lilies as the group pressed on.
• After Ye Ningshuang shared the news about the Old Ancestors with Ying Huaixu, he ordered an immediate assault, and He Xiuyuan transformed into Attack Old He and charged ahead.

He Xiuyuan and Xu Yaoyang grew stronger while attacking the Star-Devouring Clan’s cities, aided by Tai Wangshu’s power to drain enemies and support allies. After Tai Wangshu explained why she would remain in the Taiyin Sacred Land rather than join the Divine Firmament Sword Sect, a barrage of white pillars blasted He Xiuyuan and Xu Yaoyang apart and left them fleeing with their Revival Pill counts falling.

• He Xiuyuan adapted to the Three Prohibitions and wiped out multiple cities, growing stronger as he tried to keep pace with Qin Erniu.
• Xu Yaoyang joined the fight, using nine suns to burn the Star-Devouring Clan members in the cities.
• The Taiyin Old Ancestor discovered that Tai Wangshu was reversing yin and yang to drain the Star-Devouring Clan and replenish Xu Yaoyang and He Xiuyuan.
• Ying Huaixu tried to recruit Tai Wangshu into the Divine Firmament Sword Sect, but she declined and explained that staying in the Taiyin Sacred Land kept their alliance protected on two fronts.
• White pillars of light struck He Xiuyuan and Xu Yaoyang, destroying their bodies and draining dozens of Revival Pills as they fled with ghastly white flames still burning.
