Chapter Summaries

After the Azure Lotus Wind Splendor Sword's spirit vanished, Bai Yi and the others searched the Spirit Beast Hall and discovered that its enormous statues were the remains of slain Spirit Transformation Demon Venerables. Bai Yi squeezed blood from one demon's heart and caught a drop in a Mechanical Jade Box.

• Zi Mochen placed the broken Azure Lotus Wind Splendor Sword in a wooden box to give to the Shen Household for Junior Brother Shen Chen's cenotaph.
• Zi Mochen explained that many Blessed Lands prodigies had died in the Outer Domain while repaying the Immortal Alliance's resources with their lives.
• Bai Yi entered a Demon Beast Stone Statue through its river and found a gigantic demon corpse with a spear-pierced heart that still faintly beat.
• Bai Yi realized that five Spirit Transformation Demon Venerables had been killed to supply the Spirit Beast Hall with demon resources and wondered why the Immortal-Attracting Main Palace had vanished from history.
• Bai Yi used Profound Void True Essence to squeeze the demon's heart until a drop of its blood fell, then caught it in a Mechanical Jade Box.

Bai Yi harvested Demon Venerable Essence Blood, hearts, and bones from five Demon Beast Stone Statues while Fu Lingxin discovered a hidden nurturing formation beneath the area. Bai Yi opened its entrance, and Fu Lingxin sent Rune Mechanical Dogs into the darkness to probe what lay below.

• Bai Yi collected nine drops of Demon Venerable Essence Blood, five drained hearts, and five demon bones from the five Demon Beast Stone Statues.
• Fu Lingxin used the Terminal compass to identify a concealed nurturing formation connected to the statues, rivers, mountains, and Earth Veins.
• Fu Lingxin located the formation's entrance at a mountain stream pool and asked Bai Yi to break through its defenses.
• Bai Yi unleashed Sword Qi at the marked whirlpool, exposing a pitch-black entrance as the great formation emerged.
• Fu Lingxin activated four Rune Mechanical Dogs and sent them into the entrance to investigate.

Fu Lingxin and Bai Yi explored a hidden Spirit Beast Hall breeding ground and found its demon eggs lifeless, but they discovered an ordinary Fire Spirit Bird nestling near a pavilion of jade recording talismans. The nestling’s bloodline seemed unremarkable, and Fu Lingxin explained that a formation had kept the birds from their Divine Senses.

• Fu Lingxin entered the Lesser Secret Realm, discovered it had been a Spirit Beast Hall breeding ground, and told Bai Yi that its demon eggs had lost their vitality.
• Bai Yi examined the eggs and found no sign of life, then followed Fu Lingxin to a pavilion containing jade recording talismans about raising demon beasts.
• A tiny nestling flew toward Fu Lingxin, and Bai Yi caught it inside a True Essence barrier as it angrily spat a weak flame.
• Fu Lingxin tested the nestling and identified it as an ordinary Second Tier Fire Spirit Bird.
• Dozens of adult Fire Spirit Birds and more nestlings appeared, and Fu Lingxin pointed out that the pavilion’s formation had blocked their Divine Senses.

Bai Yi and Fu Lingxin discovered records about cultivating Immortal Beast bloodlines in the Immortal-Attracting Main Palace, while a group from Six-Celestial City awakened its ancient Elder. The Elder was destroyed by a figure summoned through the Six-Celestial City Decree, which claimed the Demon Heart Soul Crystal.

• A Fire Spirit Bird fledgling led Bai Yi and Fu Lingxin to its dead parent, and Bai Yi buried the adult bird; the fledgling then settled on his shoulder and fell asleep.
• Bai Yi and Fu Lingxin entered the Pavilion and found a jade talisman titled “Immortal-Attracting Main Palace: Preliminary Thoughts on the Secret Art for Cultivating Immortal Beast Bloodlines.”
• Three prodigies from Six-Celestial City entered a side hall and Li Tianlin shattered a crystal coffin with his sword.
• The Elder of the Immortal-Attracting Main Palace awakened with a Demon Heart Soul Crystal in his chest and attacked the three after its power overtook him.
• A divine phantom appeared through the Six-Celestial City Decree, annihilated the Elder, and drew the Demon Heart Soul Crystal to the three before vanishing.

Li Tianlin fought the demonic remnant possessing the chubby man while the Immortal-Attracting Main Palace plane collapsed. As Bai Yi and his companions fled through the collapsing corridor, the escaped demonic black mist possessed an Immortal Alliance Direct Disciple.

• The Demon Heart Soul Crystal possessed the chubby man, who attacked Li Tianlin and Luo Luyu with demonic energy.
• Li Tianlin used his Tiger-Subduing Heavenly Might Seal to defeat the possessed man, but the demonic black mist escaped.
• Luo Luyu pursued the fleeing remnant with Rune chains while Li Tianlin chased it on a golden lotus.
• The Immortal-Attracting Main Palace plane collapsed, and Zi Mochen urged Bai Yi and Fu Lingxin to flee with the others.
• Bai Yi led the group through the collapsing corridor on a True Essence sword as they resisted spatial storms and drifting world fragments.
• The demonic black mist slipped into the body of an Immortal Alliance Direct Disciple at the back of the sword.

A demon soul escaped the collapsing Immortal-Attracting Main Palace and tried to possess Bai Yi as the Immortal Alliance disciples returned through the World-Protecting White Mist. The Dao-Deriving Mirror destroyed the demon soul and transformed Bai Yi, who fell unconscious as the survivors emerged and the Venerables found several forces' disciples missing.

• Xu Leyang observed the Immortal Alliance's Sword Light as the surviving forces navigated the spatial storm, while Li Tianlin searched them for traces of Six-Celestial City.
• Li Tianlin pursued the Sword Light, but it vanished into a ripple in space, and Feng Weiyi's aura guided Li Tianlin, Luo Luyu, and Xu Changning out of the collapsing plane.
• The demon soul entered Bai Yi's Sea of Consciousness, but the Dao-Deriving Mirror destroyed it and its remnant merged into Bai Yi's Divine Marrow, triggering a transformation that left him unconscious.
• The Spirit Transformation Venerables found no trace of the Four Realms Merchant Association or Fusheng Dao Domain disciples, while survivors returned to their forces through the World-Protecting White Mist.
• Feng Weiyi sensed Bai Yi's return and felt relieved that he was safe.

Bai Yi and Ping Buchuan remained unconscious after the plane crossing, and Feng Weiyi found no serious harm in either of them. Liu Changhuai, Mingshang Outer City's Lord, demanded to search the Immortal Alliance disciples, but Feng Weiyi refused and a Many Treasures Pavilion elder intervened before they could fight.

• Zi Mochen found Bai Yi still unconscious, and Wei Luoqing reported that Ping Buchuan had not woken either.
• Feng Weiyi examined Bai Yi and Ping Buchuan, found a sharp Azure Edge in Bai Yi's Sea of Consciousness, and removed the lingering demonic aura from Ping Buchuan.
• Li Tianlin told the Inner City Spirit Transformation Attendant what had happened, and Liu Changhuai went to the Immortal Alliance's Vessel to demand a search for his lost item.
• Feng Weiyi refused Liu Changhuai's request and prepared to fight when Liu Changhuai released his battle intent.
• A Many Treasures Pavilion elder stepped between Liu Changhuai and Feng Weiyi, invoking the agreement among the top factions to stop him.

After the Immortal Alliance’s conflict with the Three Branches and other factions, the visitors departed and the Alliance prepared for further threats. Thirty days later, Bai Yi awakened at the seaside pavilion, apparently free of demonic influence but hiding changes within his Sea of Consciousness.

• Liu Changhuai left with the Spirit Treasure Ship, while Li Tianlin blamed the Immortal Alliance for ruining his chance to gain Core Patterns.
• Fu Lao intervened on the Immortal Alliance’s behalf, and Xu Leyang explained that the Many Treasures Pavilion sought to win over talented people and had noticed the Alliance’s Spirit Treasure Ship.
• Venerable Shen and Xu Changning departed after the plan failed, with Venerable Shen reminding Xu Changning that he had reported his allegiance to the Three Branches.
• More than ten days later, Lu Feng visited Bai Yi, who had remained unconscious for thirty days while the Immortal Alliance maintained a heightened defense.
• Bai Yi awoke and told Feng Weiyi that he felt fine, but secretly examined the black-and-white halo in his Sea of Consciousness and concealed its changes.

After recovering, Bai Yi discovered that the refined demonic soul had greatly strengthened his Divine Sense and could let him turn his True Essence demonic. Feng Weiyi told him that he would have to enter Domain-Suppressing City’s selection to secure the Immortal Alliance’s protection, and Bai Yi accepted the challenge despite its six top-ranked prodigies.

• Bai Yi sensed that the demonic soul fused into his divine marrow had improved his mind and tripled his Divine Sense range, and he realized he could taint his True Essence Golden Core with demonic aura.
• A Fire Spirit Bird brought Bai Yi a green fruit after watching over him for thirty days, and Bai Yi named it Red Tangerine.
• Feng Weiyi told Bai Yi that the Six-Celestial City selection would take place in Star-Lan Outer City in three years, with Domain-Suppressing City hosting it.
• Void Insight True Lord reacted to Domain-Suppressing City’s six prodigies in the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, while Feng Weiyi explained the city’s strength and the danger of competing there.
• Feng Weiyi said Bai Yi needed to enter one of the Six-Celestial City’s inner cities to bring the Immortal Alliance under its protection, and Bai Yi accepted the challenge of Domain-Suppressing City.

Bai Yi entered seclusion to use the resources he had gathered and the Immortal Alliance’s support to strengthen himself before the Six-Celestial Realm selection. After spending a day refining thousands of Magical Artifacts, he gained 273 Dao-Comprehension Luminescences.

• Bai Yi learned from Feng Weiyi about the world beyond the Four Domains and entered Feng Weiyi’s Cultivation Room to cultivate.

• Bai Yi searched the Immortal Alliance’s database and began mastering its Qi Refining Sword Arts, reaching Dao Resonance Perfection in each.

• Feng Weiyi watched Bai Yi’s Sword Momentum reach Minor Accomplishment after a month of seclusion.
• Bai Yi completed the seventh layer of the Mystic Void Condensing Dao Art, perfecting its Golden Core method and imprinting a Profound Void Core Pattern on his Golden Core.

• Bai Yi entered the records of the Immortal Alliance’s eighteen Spirit Transformation inheritances to pursue the Nascent Soul method.

Bai Yi comprehended the Upper Void Pure Origin Canon, broke through to Middle Golden Core, and greatly strengthened his True Essence. After mastering his new power, he called for Red Tangerine, who emerged from a spatial tank.

• Bai Yi touched the Grand Void Pure Origin Illusory Scripture inheritance and received the Upper Void Pure Origin Canon, entering sudden enlightenment as its Dao Text filled his Sea of Consciousness.
• Bai Yi cultivated for a year, absorbed vast spiritual energy, and broke through to Middle Golden Core with twelve Core Patterns.
• Bai Yi tested his True Essence and realized the first level of the Upper Void Pure Origin Canon had tripled its strength, though he wondered why his Golden Core had fewer patterns than the Four Realms Merchant Association prodigies.
• Bai Yi spent several days mastering his increased True Essence, then used the Terminal to bring a spatial tank into the Cultivation Room.
• Bai Yi noticed Red Tangerine hiding in the tank's shadow and called her out, and she flew to him and rubbed her head against his cheek.

Bai Yi used the secret medicine and Demon Venerable Essence Blood to condense the Blood Qi Great Pill and advance the Sun Suppressing Prison Art to the Golden Core level. After two months of cultivation, he had transformed more than ten bones and gained a sixth Blood Qi Core Pattern, while Little Red Tangerine grew stronger by secretly drinking the medicine.

• Bai Yi added a drop of Demon Venerable Essence Blood to the vat, suppressed the green ox phantom it released, and began refining the medicine.
• Bai Yi condensed the Blood Qi Great Pill, endured the transformation of his bones, and branded his body with Great Sun Golden Crow Dao Patterns and five Blood Qi Core Patterns.
• Little Red Tangerine repeatedly woke to drink the secret medicine, then returned to sleep above Bai Yi as its Demon Power rapidly increased.
• Two months later, Bai Yi consumed the vat's remaining medicinal power, transformed more than ten bones, gained a sixth Blood Qi Core Pattern, and shattered the vat with a tremor of his body.

Bai Yi discovered that Little Red Tangerine had absorbed the Pure Yang Flame and was transforming toward Foundation Establishment. After testing his new strength, he began forging the Purple Spirit Clear Void Sword Embryo into his Life-bound Flying Sword, leaving the process underway.

• Bai Yi sensed Little Red Tangerine’s cocoon and realized the bird had reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining after using the Pure Yang Flame to accelerate its cultivation.
• Bai Yi moved the cocoon aside and tested the strength gained from the Blood Qi Great Pill, finding that his physical power and defense had increased dramatically.
• Bai Yi gathered the materials and prepared to forge his Life-bound Flying Sword around the Purple Spirit Clear Void Sword Embryo.
• Bai Yi refined Shengfeng Gengbai Crystal with Pill Fire and Sword Momentum, then began merging its essence into the sword embryo.

Bai Yi completed the Purple Spirit Clear Void Sword, whose newly formed sword spirit and transformation into a Dharma Treasure triggered a burst of purple Sword Momentum and nearly drew heavenly lightning. As the Immortal Alliance’s leaders celebrated his potential, they discussed mounting pressure from outside factions and the time their defenses had bought them.

• Bai Yi refined the Shengfeng Gengbai Crystal and five Demon Venerable bones into the Purple Spirit Clear Void Sword Embryo, awakening a young sword spirit that called him its sword master.
