Chapter Summaries

He Xiuyuan defeated the old man who had usurped his sealed talent, reclaimed his power, and learned it was the Supreme authority: Weapon Lord. Afterward, Lü Qingyi and the Heavenly Dao identified the woman in his enlightenment portrait as Ying Manny, not Ying Huaixu.

• He Xiuyuan realized the old man could only counter his attacks, then explained that he had suspected his family members had been replaced by usurpers.
• He Xiuyuan used a portrait to enter a state of enlightenment, weakened the old man, and bound him with the Myriad Forbidden Technique.
• He Xiuyuan destroyed the old man, reclaimed his talent, and rose to the seventh layer of Return to True.
• He Xiuyuan learned his talent was the Supreme authority: Weapon Lord, which let him wield weapons at ten times their power and grow stronger by cataloging them.
• Lü Qingyi noticed the portrait depicted a woman with a mole under her left eye, and the Heavenly Dao identified her as Ying Manny.

Lü Qingyi and the Heavenly Dao discovered coordinates hidden in Ying Manny’s portrait and confronted the Cheat Distributor, who agreed to remove them and offer compensation. After the Heavenly Dao explained the distributor’s business and why Transmigrators were kept apart, she gave Lü Qingyi the altered portrait and told her to wait until after the Heart-Questioning Instance to use it.

• The Heavenly Dao found coordinates on Ying Manny’s portrait and accused the Cheat Distributor of secretly arranging a way for Ying Manny to return home.
• The Cheat Distributor denied wrongdoing, then offered extra child slots and free generations after the sixth; the Heavenly Dao accepted and kept the portrait after the coordinates were erased.
• Other Heavenly Daos complained to the Cheat Distributor about unsuitable or defective Innate Human Race members, while the Heavenly Dao and Lü Qingyi listened and laughed.
• The Heavenly Dao explained that the distributor’s worlds lasted longer than many native worlds and that Transmigrators were kept apart to prevent dangerous conflict.
• The Heavenly Dao gave Lü Qingyi the portrait and told her to wait until after the Heart-Questioning Instance, so Lü Qingyi changed the scroll painting quest to show chicks pecking at rice.

He Xixiang returned carrying a world she had created while pursuing the sect Old Ancestors, and Lü Qingyi shrank it before sending it to Ying Huaixu as an inheritance. Ying Huaixiang reunited with Ying Huaixu on Tianqu Peak, where his gratitude cheered her up, though her uncontrolled strength nearly broke his bones.

• Ying Huaixu left the Star-Seizing Sect Master and returned to Tianqu Peak to visit He Xixiang.
• He Xixiang's mood improved when Ying Huaixu praised her inheritance, but she nearly broke his bones when she pulled him into her arms.

He Xixiang fed Ying Huaixu a special fruit that knocked him unconscious, and Lü Qingyi explained He Xixiang’s feelings before announcing she would investigate a danger outside. The Heavenly Dao let Lü Qingyi depart to draw the Outsiders’ attention, but remained uneasy as she searched Dream Province for the Seventh Divine Weapon and found no problems.

• He Xixiang worried that she was useless as Ying Huaixu’s master, but he reassured her that her Inheritance had saved his life against Azure Fox.
• He Xixiang fed Ying Huaixu a white fruit, and he collapsed after becoming immersed in its fragrance; Lü Qingyi confirmed he had fallen asleep and restrained the power within him.
• Lü Qingyi gave He Xixiang a book about interpersonal relationships, and He Xixiang concluded aloud that Lü Qingyi wanted to sleep with Ying Huaixu before Lü Qingyi sealed her mouth.
• Lü Qingyi told He Xixiang she planned to investigate problems outside, and He Xixiang reluctantly let her go after Lü Qingyi left her three sword talismans.
• The Heavenly Dao allowed Lü Qingyi’s departure to draw the Outsiders’ attention while He Xixiang guarded against Heaven-and-Earth True Immortals, then searched Dream Province for the Seventh Divine Weapon but found nothing wrong.

The Heavenly Dao considered the risks surrounding the Cheat Distributor’s lost Mythical World and decided to trust Ying Huaixu to clear the Heart-Questioning Instance. After waking from three days of sleep, Ying Huaixu received a modified Frost Annihilation from He Xixiang and tested its adjustable weight.

• The Heavenly Dao weighed the possible outcomes of the coming match and chose not to question the Cheat Distributor about her shattered Mythical World.
• The Heavenly Dao decided to leave the Heart-Questioning Instance to Ying Huaixu and turned her attention toward Lü Qingyi.
• Ying Huaixu woke after sleeping for three days and found He Xixiang forging Frost Annihilation.
• He Xixiang gave Ying Huaixu the modified Frost Annihilation, whose weight increased its damage while reducing its speed.
• Ying Huaixu tested the weapon at six million jin and thanked He Xixiang for enhancing his spirit treasure.

Ying Huaixu left He Xixiang to investigate reports that He Xiuyuan had become arrogant after growing powerful in the Illusory Dream Trial. After defeating He Xiuyuan with one move, Ying Huaixu caught him trying to flee and decided to take him monster farming.

• Ying Huaixu left He Xixiang and set out with the sect master of the Star-Seizing Sect, while He Xixiang found she could no longer sleep after he departed.
• Disciples told Ying Huaixu that He Xiuyuan had made his Illusory Dream Trial stage Ridiculous Difficulty and claimed he could beat Ying Huaixu.
• Ying Huaixu challenged He Xiuyuan and fought through his sword-nullifying ability, weapon-filled world, and disguised decoy.
• Ying Huaixu froze He Xiuyuan's world and won the challenge in one move.
• Qiu Shiyi, Huang Tianqi, and Qin Erniu blocked He Xiuyuan's escape, and Ying Huaixu appeared behind him and offered to take him monster farming.

The Divine Firmament Sword Sect disciples tested the Phantom Tree Spirit’s Return to True Azure Foxes and discovered that their combat skill and strength could overwhelm even Huang Tianqi. Realizing how much Ying Huaixu had changed their fortunes, Huang Tianqi sensed a major problem and gathered the group in secret, leaving them poised to discuss it.

• The disciples chose the Four Azure Fox Sisters as new strength benchmarks, but Qin Erniu, Qiu Shiyi, and the others failed to defeat their illusions.
• Huang Tianqi challenged the Return to True Azure Foxes and was beaten after discovering that the eldest sister used concealed Spatial Strangulation and spatial traps.
• Huang Tianqi reflected that Ying Huaixu had transformed his and his companions’ lives, and that without him the Azure Foxes might have escaped the Cold Pool Secret Realm.
• Huang Tianqi suddenly sensed something was wrong and summoned everyone through the private second group.
• The gathered disciples went to the basement, set up concealment formations, and sat down solemnly to hear Huang Tianqi’s concern.

Huang Tianqi warned the group not to rely on Ying Huaixu and Ye Ningshuang, then proposed that they simulate surviving without Ying Huaixu. He and Qiu Shiyi suspected the Outsiders had prepared a lethal plan for the Heart-Questioning Instance, and the chapter ended with Qin Erniu confused about their cryptic conversation.

• Huang Tianqi told the group that relying on Ying Huaixu and Ye Ningshuang had made them complacent and vulnerable.
• Qiu Shiyi reasoned that the Outsiders might target Ying Huaixu and might have a separate purpose for sparing Ye Ningshuang.
• Chen Zhiyuan proposed using the Illusory Dream and Li Chunfeng's time abilities to simulate lifetimes without Ying Huaixu, and the group agreed to begin.
• Huang Tianqi privately told Qiu Shiyi that the Outsiders knew their trump cards and might prevent them from gathering in the Heart-Questioning Instance.
• Qiu Shiyi said Ying Huaixu could avoid the Secret Realm but had chosen to go, and Huang Tianqi told him to get ready.
• Qin Erniu watched Huang Tianqi and Qiu Shiyi leave and wondered what they meant.

Chen Zhiyuan and the others used the Illusory Dream Tree to simulate a Hongmeng World without Ying Huaixu and saw it collapse under Azure Fox and the outsiders. Their repeated attempts to survive ended in early deaths, leaving them shaken by how much Ying Huaixu had changed the world.

• Chen Zhiyuan secured high-grade xirang from the sect so the Illusory Dream Tree could simulate lives, and Qiu Shiyi volunteered to go first.
• Qiu Shiyi's simulated life showed Azure Fox and the outsiders destroying Hongmeng, and he died before reaching Dao Seal.
• Huang Tianqi, Qin Erniu, and Chen Zhiyuan each ran simulations and also died helplessly in the doomed world.
• The Illusory Dream Tree realized Ying Huaixu had derailed the outsiders' plans by stopping their invasion and strengthening Hongmeng's native forces.
• The group tried new identities and childhood starting points, but by evening they still kept dying in Falling Radiance City or the Cold Pool Secret Realm.

Qiu Shiyi and the others used Life Simulations to understand how much Ying Huaixu’s support had strengthened the Divine Firmament Sword Sect, while Third Martial Uncle experienced a century-long simulation of the Outsiders’ devastating invasion. After hearing his account, Huang Tianqi urged everyone to keep training and survive until Return to True.

• Qiu Shiyi and the others took their cheats into another Life Simulation, survived longer, but still died when the Outsiders invaded.
• Qiu Shiyi realized their simulated selves lacked the fighting mindset and resources Ying Huaixu had cultivated in the Divine Firmament Sword Sect.
• The group created a Blank Account for Third Martial Uncle, who remained in the Illusory Dream simulation for ten days in reality.
• Third Martial Uncle recounted how calamities devastated the world, the Outsiders overwhelmed the local forces, and he eventually died in their slaughter of the primordial chaos natives.
• Huang Tianqi called on everyone to keep going and entered another simulation, hoping they could reach Return to True.

The Divine Firmament Sword Sect disciples returned from the Illusory Dream Trial with stronger minds and insights, though they had all died in their simulations. Qin Erniu and Chen Zhiyuan recounted how they survived and what they learned, while Chen Zhiyuan revealed that the Operation Clan and traitors had devastated the simulated world.

• The disciples absorbed the useful lessons from their simulations, and their auras and killing intent grew stronger after reaching Return to True in the trials.
• Qin Erniu woke after five more days and explained that he had become a direct disciple, followed Ye Ningshuang through battles, and died to an azure fox's charm technique.
• The disciples realized that entering the Cold Pool Secret Realm led to death in their simulations, while He Xiuyuan had also died in Falling Radiance City.
• Chen Zhiyuan woke after thirty days and described rising within the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, manipulating Outsiders, and learning that the world's rules could repair their incomplete methods.
• Chen Zhiyuan said he had never seen the Seventh Divine Weapon and that the Operation Clan and traitors had been enough to slaughter the world in his simulation.

After experiencing a simulation without Ying Huaixu, the disciples realized how much he had changed Primordial Chaos and mourned the peaceful world they now had. Meanwhile, Ying Huaixu searched the void for missing Outsiders, then discovered that Tai Wangshu, Ye Ningshuang, and Lü Qingyi were also unreachable.

• Chen Zhiyuan returned to organize his thoughts, while Qin Erniu challenged and defeated He Xiuyuan after the simulation.
• The disciples entered an Illusory Dream simulation that assumed Ying Huaixu did not exist, suffered through it, and emerged crying over their hard-won peaceful lives.
• Zhuang Mu completed the simulation and realized that Ying Huaixu had helped Primordial Chaos grow strong enough to confront the Outsiders.
• Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master searched the Outsider outposts, but found no Outsiders, and He Xiuyuan reported the same.
• Ying Huaixu could not reach Tai Wangshu, Ye Ningshuang, or Lü Qingyi, so He Xixiang began learning a divine ability to perceive heaven and earth.

He Xixiang used the Heaven-Observing Divine Ability to locate Ye Ningshuang and Tai Wangshu, while Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master searched for Outsider strongholds. The Star-Seizing Sect Master raided one stronghold and returned battered, leaving Ying Huaixu to keep pursuing the Outsiders.

• He Xixiang used the Heaven-Observing Divine Ability, frightening the people of the Hongmeng World, and found that Ye Ningshuang and Tai Wangshu were safe in places suited to their cultivation.
• The Star-Seizing Sect Master spent a month and a half learning the Divine Ability, then discovered that the Outsiders had fled whenever Ying Huaixu approached.
• Ying Huaixu asked the Star-Seizing Sect Master to investigate another stronghold, where more than a hundred Outsiders had auras as strong as his.
• The Star-Seizing Sect Master charged into the stronghold alone and returned covered in blood after killing Outsiders, including the former wife of Old Useless.
• The Star-Seizing Sect Master suggested that Ying Huaixu consider his daughter, but Ying Huaixu said he had no time for romance while dealing with the Outsiders.

Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master discovered that the Outsiders fled whenever Ying Huaixu was nearby, even when they believed him absent. They decided to exploit the Outsiders’ caution by creating a fake Star-Seizing Ancestor relic as bait.

• The Star-Seizing Sect Master hid while Ying Huaixu waited for the Outsiders, but neither month of waiting brought an attack.
• When Ying Huaixu hid instead, the Outsiders surrounded the Star-Seizing Sect Master, then fled as soon as the Lotus Compass detected Ying Huaixu nearby.
• Ying Huaixu proposed that the Outsiders feared attacking him because they suspected he was bait for a larger force.
• Ying Huaixu persuaded the Star-Seizing Sect Master to lure the Outsiders with a fabricated secret realm containing a supposedly powerful relic of the Star-Seizing Ancestor.
• Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master chose a desolate celestial body for their trap and planned to act as if they had discovered it casually.

Ying Huaixu lured the Outsiders to a supposed Star-Seizing Sect secret storehouse, only for the Sect Master's staged search to trigger a genuine enlightenment. The Hall Master of Shura Hall joined the battle, while Zhuang Mu and the others fought waves of Outsiders using Revival Pills and grew stronger with each fight.

• Ying Huaixu had the Sect Master enter a planet and pretend to seek insights among Spirit Leaves while he spread rumors about a Star-Seizing Sect secret storehouse.
• A large force of Outsiders arrived, including powerful Heaven-and-Earth True Immortals, and attacked the Sect Master after finding him.
• Ying Huaixu discovered that starlight characters had truly appeared in the cave and that the Sect Master had entered sudden enlightenment.

• Ying Huaixu summoned Zhuang Mu and the others and gave them Revival Pills so they could fight the remaining Outsiders.
• Zhuang Mu and the others repeatedly charged into battle, revived after dying, and improved their combat skills and strength.

Zhuang Mu, Tong Xinran, Old Ten, and Ying Huaixu fought the Outsiders with Revival Pills, growing stronger through repeated deaths and combat. When Outsiders nearly interrupted the Star-Seizing Sect Master's seclusion, he emerged with a mysterious power and turned the tide by wiping out every enemy in the Starry Sky.

• Zhuang Mu and Meng Wuya discovered that killing Outsiders made their cultivation circulate more smoothly, while Tong Xinran and the others used repeated battles to strengthen themselves and refine their Daoist Arts.
• Old Ten unleashed her Crimson-Forged Longsword, absorbing blood energy from the Outsiders and slaughtering them as her aura grew stronger.
• Ying Huaixu spent experience and Spirit Stones to jump from the first to the eighth level of Return to True, then charged a Tribulation Transcendence Outsider and was nearly killed again.
• He Xiuyuan warned Ying Huaixu that the Star-Seizing Sect Master remained vulnerable while comprehending a Divine Ability, as some Outsiders slipped past the defenders to attack him.
• The Star-Seizing Sect Master emerged in starlight, froze the battle, and blew away everyone except those of Hongmeng.

Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master returned to the Hongmeng World after their battle, with Ying Huaixu anxious that he could no longer find monsters to gain experience from. As they checked on the Shepherding Plan, the sect master shared his new Star Laws Divine Ability and suspected the Outsiders’ formations and sacrifices were a deception, leaving the purpose of Heart-Questioning Valley uncertain.

• Ying Huaixu gained experience from the battle but failed to level up, while the Star-Seizing Sect Master's aura grew stronger.
• Zhuang Mu, the Outsider Heaven-and-Earth True Immortal, the Hall Master of Shura Hall, Old Ten, and Old He all departed, leaving Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master together.
• The Star-Seizing Sect Master said their plan to hunt Outsiders would likely fail because his new Divine Ability deterred enemies, and Ying Huaixu explained the costs of his Blood-Burning Secret Method.
• Ying Huaixu continued wandering the Starry Sky in search of experience, while the Star-Seizing Sect Master reflected that he had stopped the Outsiders from advancing and questioned what was wrong with Heart-Questioning Valley.
• Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master descended into the Hongmeng World and observed that the Shepherding Plan was going smoothly.
• While grilling fish, the Star-Seizing Sect Master explained Star Laws and said the Outsiders' formations and possible sacrifices seemed like a show, with no sign of danger or the Heart-Questioning Instance in Heart-Questioning Valley.

Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master struggled to identify the danger surrounding Heart-Questioning Valley, while the Hall Master of Shura Hall reported that Dream Province was expanding and its visitors felt subtly wrong. At the Great Sun Sacred Ground, Xu Yaoyang learned that the Great Sun Saint Lord would not discuss their secret realm and told him to wait until he reached Heaven-and-Earth True Immortal to prepare.

• Ying Huaixu decided to avoid Dream Province and Heart-Questioning Valley until he reached Great Perfection of the ninth layer of Tribulation Transcendence, despite worrying the Outsiders might exploit his caution.
• The Hall Master of Shura Hall told Ying Huaixu that Dream Province seemed to be expanding and that people who had visited it felt increasingly ominous, though they behaved normally.
• The Hall Master of Shura Hall said he had already confined the returning disciples, but Ying Huaixu and the Star-Seizing Sect Master could find no visible abnormalities in Dream Province.
• Ying Huaixu gave up searching for clues and returned to his sect after the Star-Seizing Sect Master left.
• Xu Yaoyang asked the Great Sun Saint Lord about Heart-Questioning Valley and their secret realm; the Saint Lord said to prepare only after reaching Heaven-and-Earth True Immortal.

Xu Yaoyang encountered the Undying Fire Phoenix, who had escaped the Outsiders but was branded a traitor, and helped her die and undergo rebirth. His Pure Yang Power turned her phoenix egg into a Little Golden Crow, binding her fate to his and greatly increasing their cultivation speed when they cultivated together.

• Xu Yaoyang left the Great Sun Sacred Ground and headed for the Divine Firmament Sword Sect to keep up with its disciples' cultivation.
• Xu Yaoyang encountered the Undying Fire Phoenix, who told him she had escaped the Outsiders but been branded a traitor.
• The Undying Fire Phoenix asked Xu Yaoyang to kill her so she could undergo rebirth, and he agreed.
• After the phoenix egg appeared, Xu Yaoyang poured Pure Yang Power into it, and five days later a little girl hatched as a Little Golden Crow.
• The Little Golden Crow accused Xu Yaoyang of changing her bloodline, while he sensed their fates were linked and discovered that cultivating together increased their speed more than tenfold.

Xu Yaoyang learned that the Golden Crow woman’s restored status bound her to him and revealed their destined marriage, while she warned him about the Sixth Divine Weapon’s ability to create replicas of Ying Huaixu. The chapter left Xu Yaoyang alarmed by the outsiders’ strength as he prepared to seek Ying Huaixu.

• The Golden Crow woman realized her cultivation accelerated near Xu Yaoyang, and he showed her his pure yang qi to prove he had no ulterior motives.
• The Golden Crow woman discovered that regaining her primordial chaos status had bound her to Xu Yaoyang, and an inheritance revealed their destined marriage.
• Xu Yaoyang restrained his pure yang qi with a Frozen Crystal Ball, then agreed that the Golden Crow woman would accompany him to find Ying Huaixu.
• The Golden Crow woman told Xu Yaoyang that outsiders made exact Ying Huaixu replicas using his blood, though the replicas could not cultivate or break through.
• The Golden Crow woman said An Ruoyun could not find any of Ye Ningshuang’s blood or hair, and warned that creating Ying Huaixu puppets might be only one of the Sixth Divine Weapon’s methods.
