Chapter Summaries

After entering the Ancient Secret Realm, Lin Yi encountered the Green Wolf Tribe in Qingshan Ridge and arranged to meet its Tree God. The other groups split up or headed toward the Sea of Stars, while Lin Yi rode with the Leader Green Wolf toward the heart of Qingshan Ridge.

• Serlan, Melderay, and the Southern Domain Great Shamans argued over whether to search for Profound Yellow Qi or travel to the Sea of Stars, then split up with Serlan planning to meet them there in three days.
• Xun Hanfeng identified that his group of five Nine-Realm Ancestors had arrived in the southern wilderness plains near a place that had produced Profound Yellow Qi, and they set off to search for it.
• Lin Yi transplanted nearly a hundred acres of Fusion Fruit Spirit, drawing hundreds of green wolves who confronted him for taking fruit from Qingshan Ridge.
• Lin Yi appeased the Leader Green Wolf with several hundred Blood Refining Ancestral Ginseng and asked to meet the Tree God, the owner of Qingshan Ridge.
• The Leader Green Wolf agreed to take Lin Yi to the Tree God, and Lin Yi rode on its back as they left the Green Wolf Tribe behind.

Lin Yi reached the Tree God's territory in Qingshan Ridge and revealed that he carried a Jianmu tree seed, which the Tree God recognized as its child. The Tree God let Lin Yi keep the seed after learning he was the strongest and most talented Newborn, but it could not help him reach Class Six Star.

• Lin Yi used Xun Wind to speed Leader Green Wolf toward the Tree God, then struggled to see the hidden being until he sensed an anomaly with his Domain.
• Lin Yi greeted the Tree God as a Newborn, and the Tree God revealed itself as a damaged ancient tree.
• Lin Yi told the Tree God about his origins and showed it the Jianmu tree seed, which the Tree God identified as its child.
• Lin Yi offered to return the seed if the Tree God could help him reach Class Six Star, but the Tree God admitted it could not.
• Lin Yi claimed he was the strongest and most talented Newborn, and the Tree God agreed to let its child remain with him.

Lin Yi learned from the Jianmu Divine Tree about the Deity World’s fusion with the Martial Domain, the Divine Sacrifice Profession, and the dangers surrounding the Apocalypse Continent. Before Lin Yi left, the Tree God offered him a hundred portions of Profound Yellow Qi.

• Lin Yi inspected the Jianmu Divine Tree’s talents and asked why it had come to the Ancient Secret Realm.
• The Jianmu Divine Tree recounted the world fusion that brought the Martial Domain into the Deity World and revealed that the Jianmu Clan had been one of the Ten Great Divine Sacrifices.
• The Tree God explained that Lin Yi’s Divine Pool was an incomplete Heaven and Earth Spirit Spring, and said a Divine Sacrifice Prophet had once reached Class Six Star with a sacrificial spirit’s aid.
• The Jianmu Divine Tree described the Black Mist’s dangers and revealed that Ancient Domain martial artists had wiped out its tribe.
• Lin Yi asked the Tree God for Profound Yellow Qi, and it offered him a hundred portions.

Lin Yi received one hundred portions of Profound Yellow Qi from the Jianmu Divine Tree and decided to pursue a steady path to the ninth realm Martial Saint by nurturing his own Small World. He began expanding his Qi Sea Space so he could fuse his Qiankun Yin Yang Domain into it.

• Lin Yi thanked the Jianmu Divine Tree and collected one hundred portions of Profound Yellow Qi from its roots.
• Lin Yi asked the Jianmu Divine Tree which breakthrough method to choose, and it advised him to favor a stable foundation over the shortcut of using the Spirit Vine World.
• Lin Yi decided to follow Wushi's path, nurture his own Small World, and keep the Spirit Vine World as future nourishment.
• Lin Yi traveled to a secluded mountain range and began using the Domain Carving Technique to expand his Qi Sea Space.
• Lin Yi carved out two hundred li of space with his Martial Dao Will, rested to recover his strength, and then resumed the technique.

Lin Yi broke through to the ninth realm Martial Saint and created an unusually vast Small World, but found that nurturing it required far more Profound Yellow Qi than expected. After using fifty portions and learning the Jianmu Divine Tree had none to spare, he asked where else he could find more.

• Lin Yi fused his Qiankun Yin Yang Domain with his fragile Qi Sea Space, forming a Seven-Colored Giant Egg and expanding the Small World to a thousand miles in length and width.
• Lin Yi invested Profound Yellow Qi into the Giant Egg, but several portions caused almost no visible change.
• Lin Yi contacted Wuchen Gongzi, who estimated that a special or especially large Small World could require more than forty or fifty portions of Profound Yellow Qi to mature.
• Lin Yi invested fifty portions of Profound Yellow Qi, causing the Giant Egg to develop a hazy aura and visible cracks, though his remaining supply seemed insufficient.
• Lin Yi asked the Jianmu Divine Tree for more Profound Yellow Qi, but it said its origin was damaged and its remaining supply was needed to prolong its life.
• Lin Yi asked the Jianmu Divine Tree whether any nearby treasure grounds could produce Profound Yellow Qi.

Lin Yi sought Profound Yellow Qi from a powerful beast in a deep pool north of Qingshan Ridge and killed the Island Crab after it attacked him. He collected its rare drops and left with a thousand-year lifespan-extending crab pill.

• The Jianmu Divine Tree told Lin Yi that an ancient beast in a northern deep pool had stored a large amount of Profound Yellow Qi, but warned him it was at the Five-Star Professional Peak.
• Lin Yi found the enormous Giant Crab in the pool and asked to borrow its Profound Yellow Qi, but it attacked him with water and its massive claws.
• Lin Yi used the Town Law Thunder Fist to wound the Giant Crab, then bound the water and beast with his Qiankun Yin Yang Domain.
• The Giant Crab pretended to surrender before secretly spraying poison at Lin Yi, but Lin Yi appeared on its back and shattered its shell with another thunderous punch.
• Lin Yi killed the Island Crab and collected its drops, including a Gold crab pill that could extend his lifespan by a thousand years and grant Water Manipulation.

Lin Yi searched the Ancient Secret Realm for Profound Yellow Qi, then entered Blood Curse Swamp, where a battle among three factions was underway. The chapter ended with Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun confronting a disguised Great Shaman over treasure seized outside the Sea of Stars.

• Lin Yi found more than a dozen strands of Profound Yellow Qi beneath a lake and returned to Jianmu Divine Tree, who pointed out his location and depleted gathering sites on his maps.
• Lin Yi left Qingshan Ridge after Jianmu Divine Tree promised him a great opportunity if he successfully nurtured a Small World, then gathered Profound Yellow Qi and other resources across the secret realm.
• Lin Yi headed for Blood Curse Swamp after collecting only about one portion of Profound Yellow Qi along the way.
• Lin Yi studied the corrosive blood mist, used Qiankun Yin Yang to force it back, and entered the swamp.
• Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun, disguised as burly men, demanded that a Great Shaman reveal his identity and explain why he had seized treasure outside the Sea of Stars.

In the Blood Curse Swamp, Griffis stole a large chunk of Blood Jade Stone and fled from four Ninth Realm Martial Saints, stirring up the dormant Swamp Monsters. Lin Yi discovered that killing humanoid Swamp Monsters could yield treasure from their Qi Sea Spaces and hunted them until a powerful aura emerged from underground.

• Griffis, disguised as Bruce, stole Blood Jade Stone from Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun, then fled as Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang joined the pursuit.
• Lin Yi sensed the battle, headed toward it, and killed a humanoid Swamp Monster with his Town Law Thunder Fist.
• Lin Yi found Profound Yellow Qi and Blood Jade Stone among the monster's Drops and began hunting humanoid Swamp Monsters for their stored treasures.
• As the battle disturbed more creatures, Lin Yi killed additional Swamp Monsters and collected more Profound Yellow Qi.
• The Blood Curse Swamp shook violently as a powerful aura emerged from underground near the battle's Core Zone.

Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun fought a powerful Skeletal Hand in the Blood Curse Swamp but could not defeat it and fled. Lin Yi arrived as Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang returned, and the chapter left them facing the returning monster.

• Qian Poqiong and his companions were attacked by a gigantic Skeletal Hand, while Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang left to pursue Bruce.
• Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun fought the Skeletal Hand, which absorbed blood mist to form flesh and grow stronger.
• Tai Shang Lingyun used the Seven-Wits Galaxy Void Sword, but the Skeletal Hand’s bones deflected it and damaged the blade.
• Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun retreated from the Blood Curse Swamp as the Skeletal Hand pursued them.
• Lin Yi appeared with the Qian Family’s Primal Chaos Stabilizing Bead, and Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang returned and explained their pursuit of a Witch.
• Tuoba Kuan sensed the Skeletal Hand returning and prepared to leave with Dugu Wang.

Lin Yi found Griffith beneath the Blood Curse Swamp, where he learned that Griffith sought a Great Shaman’s ruins that might hold information about the Apocalypse Continent. After Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang descended in a corrosion-proof shell to search for an inheritance site, Lin Yi used his domain to carry Griffith into the bloody mud after them.

• Lin Yi entered the crack left by the Skeletal Hand and encountered Griffith, who concealed them as the Hand returned to the bloody swamp.
• Griffith told Lin Yi he was searching for a Great Shaman’s ruins that might contain information about the Apocalypse Continent, and Lin Yi agreed to explore with him.
• Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang arrived, discussed an inheritance site beneath the swamp, and began descending inside a shell that resisted the bloody mud.
• After Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang’s auras disappeared, Griffith admitted he had no way to withstand the mud’s corrosion, so Lin Yi opened his Qiankun Yin Yang Domain and brought Griffith down into the swamp.

Lin Yi and Griffith entered the underground Boundary Gate, where the System map failed to match the ruins around them. As Lin Yi followed the karmic threads toward Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang, the two men uncovered Gu Moche’s inheritance and disagreed about whether to pursue it.

• Lin Yi and Griffith reached the bottom of the bloodwater swamp and received a System notification that they had entered a Boundary Gate Trial for a Boundary Stone.
• Lin Yi and Griffith found battle-scarred ruins where the System map showed a different route, and they suspected the Trial site had been altered or damaged.
• Griffith told Lin Yi that Great Shaman James of Black Hat Academy had sent him to find a Shaman Tower and retrieve something from the Witch Ruins, and admitted he had drawn Lin Yi into the mission through the treasure map.
• Lin Yi used the Heavenly Mystery Dao Eye to follow Tuoba Kuan and Dugu Wang’s karmic threads to a Blood Pool inside a decaying martial hall.
• Tuoba Kuan identified the Blood Pool’s manuscripts as the inheritance of Demon Ancestor Gu Moche and chose to pursue them, while Dugu Wang left to explore elsewhere.

Lin Yi investigated Tuoba Kuan’s disappearance at the Blood Hall and learned that Tuoba Kuan had been trying to cultivate a demonic art from Gu Moche’s manuscript. After draining the Blood Pool and finding the bloodstained manuscripts, Lin Yi read them and grew first solemn, then delighted.

• A blood-red hand dragged Tuoba Kuan into the Blood Pool, and Lin Yi sensed through the Heavenly Mystery Dao Eye that Tuoba Kuan’s karmic thread had snapped.
• Lin Yi brought Griffith to the Blood Hall, where he found Dugu Wang waiting outside and questioned him about Tuoba Kuan and the place.
• Dugu Wang explained that Tuoba Kuan had followed Gu Moche’s incomplete manuscript to the Blood Hall to cultivate a demonic art using blood gathered from the Blood Curse Swamp.
• Lin Yi examined the hall, drained the Blood Pool, and found leg bones and several bloodstained manuscripts at its bottom.
• Lin Yi read the manuscripts and his expression shifted from solemnity to delight.

Lin Yi discovered that the Blood River Yuan Devouring Method described a second path to the Immortal Martial Saint Realm, then destroyed the Blood Pool and explored a buried Shaman Tower with Dugu Wang and Griffith. They reached the tower’s eighth floor, where Griffith believed the item he sought was located.

• Lin Yi learned that the Blood River Yuan Devouring Method could create an indestructible body, while the Small World path could create an indestructible world.
• Lin Yi reassured Dugu Wang that he would not cultivate demonic arts, destroyed the Blood Pool, and accepted Dugu Wang’s offer of two Talent Stones.
• A mass of blood entered the Blood Hall, consumed the blood paste Lin Yi had left behind, and revealed that it intended to control him if he cultivated the Blood River Yuan Devouring Method.
• Lin Yi, Dugu Wang, and Griffith found a Shaman Tower where the Boundary Stone should have been and entered it together.
• Griffith told Lin Yi that an intact Shaman Array and the item he sought were on the eighth floor, so Lin Yi led them there.

Lin Yi, Griffith, and Dugu Wang explored the ruined Dragon Valley and uncovered a colossal Magic Dragon skeleton that Griffith wanted to take with the Shaman Tower. Lin Yi agreed to let Griffith study the remains, then left with Dugu Wang after secretly obtaining one of Griffith's hairs to investigate his talent.

• Griffith opened the Shaman Array door, revealing a lifeless Dragon Valley filled with collapsed mountains and bones.
• Lin Yi found three fossilized dragon eggs and sent them to Bruce for research while Dugu Wang searched another part of the valley.
• A mountain collapsed and exposed part of a colossal Magic Dragon skeleton, which Griffith revealed was the object of his mission.
• Griffith said he intended to take the entire Shaman Tower and skeleton, and offered Lin Yi vast Southern Domain territories as compensation.
• Lin Yi rejected the territory offer and secured Griffith's permission to study the skeleton before Griffith tried to remove the tower.
• Lin Yi and Dugu Wang left the Shaman Tower, and Lin Yi revealed that he had secretly stolen one of Griffith's hairs to investigate his talent.

Lin Yi discovered the crimson Lord of Fate talent and explored a mysterious underground space marked by all four professions. A spatial disturbance displaced him and Dugu Wang into an identical realm, while Griffith was left behind and a Tuoba Kuan lookalike escaped from the blood swamp.

• Lin Yi identified the copied Lord of Fate talent, which used Sentient Beings' Vow Power to pry at fate, and decided he needed a replacement for Burn Incense and Make a Wish.
• Lin Yi and Dugu Wang explored the underground ruins and found a broken Sequence Spirit Iron Blade before Ninth Realm Martial Saints attacked the space from above.
• The underground space began collapsing, then abruptly reset, leaving Lin Yi and Dugu Wang in a seemingly identical but different realm.
• A blood-water creature took the form of Tuoba Kuan, celebrated its return to the place where two Ancient Secret Realms intersected, and fled into the darkness.
• Lin Yi found a duplicate Spirit Iron Blade, and he and Dugu Wang realized the space had changed; at the Shaman Tower, Lin Yi forged a key and opened the sealed door.
• Lin Yi and Dugu Wang found Dragon Valley empty of life, with Griffith missing from the space.

Lin Yi and Dugu Wang left the underground Inheritance Space through its bloodwater passage, only to emerge in an unfamiliar lake rich in Profound Yellow Qi. While Lin Yi investigated the strange location, a Huo Dou Sequence inheritor and his companions arrived to gather the qi, and a spirit fish attacked him.

• Lin Yi collected the Dragon Remains and three more dragon eggs, then refined the Blood Hall's Blood Pool into blood paste.
• Lin Yi and Dugu Wang emerged at the bottom of a lake instead of the Blood Curse Swamp, where Lin Yi detected several portions of Profound Yellow Qi.
• Lin Yi told Dugu Wang to guard the passage and secretly explored the lake, suspecting they had left the Ancient Secret Realm or entered an illusion.
• A Huo Dou Sequence inheritor arrived with two companions and ordered them to gather Profound Yellow Qi for a mission.
• A spirit fish burst from the lake and charged through the inheritor's flames, invading his body and forcing him to call for help.

Lin Yi watched a Mysterious Blood Man who had infiltrated the secret realm devour three Sequencers and recognized signs of the Blood River Yuan Devouring Method. When Dugu Wang arrived, Lin Yi stayed hidden and directed him to test the creature, leaving their battle unresolved.

• The Mysterious Blood Man controlled the Huo Dou Sequence inheritor, then burst from a blood cocoon and devoured the other two Sequencers to restore his strength.
• Lin Yi recognized that the Mysterious Blood Man had likely cultivated the Blood River Yuan Devouring Method and possessed an Undying Blood Body.
• Dugu Wang arrived at the lake, and the Mysterious Blood Man recognized him as a source of nourishing Martial Saint blood essence.
• Lin Yi secretly instructed Dugu Wang to test the Mysterious Blood Man while Lin Yi coordinated from the shadows.
• Dugu Wang attacked with his mother-and-child treasure Spirit Swords and kept his distance, wounding the Mysterious Blood Man, who threatened to slaughter his clan when he returned to the Ancient Domain.

Lin Yi rescued Dugu Wang from the Mysterious Blood Man, crippled the blood creature with thunder, and captured its true body with the Tong Pass Treasure. After treating Dugu Wang’s injury and gaining his family’s support for the Newborns, Lin Yi confronted the captive Gu Moche, who began defending his past.

• Dugu Wang tried to pass himself off as a member of the Tai Shang Family, but the Mysterious Blood Man recognized the deception and infected his calf with a drop of blood.
• Lin Yi struck the Mysterious Blood Man with the Town Law Thunder Fist, restrained its true body with his Qiankun Yin Yang Domain, and used the Twelve Tong Passes to imprison it.
• The Mysterious Blood Man claimed to be Gu Moche, and Dugu Wang warned Lin Yi that the captive could control the Tong Pass Treasure.
• Lin Yi used Kan Water and Li Fire to expel and destroy the blood in Dugu Wang’s leg, and Dugu Wang promised that the Dugu Family would support the Newborns.
• Lin Yi entered the Tong Pass Suppression Space and rejected Gu Moche’s claim of seniority, citing records that said Gu Moche had been wanted and died in the Far West Black Mist.
• Gu Moche denied the account and claimed he had entered the Far West Black Mist to pursue realms beyond the Martial Dao.

Lin Yi burned and questioned the Indestructible Blood Water, whose face claimed to be Gu Moche and revealed that the secret realm was connected to the Source Realm Continent. The creature still refused to negotiate unless Lin Yi freed it first.

• Lin Yi burned the Indestructible Blood Water with Blazing Flame Fire, but its Immortal Substance kept it from being destroyed.
• Lin Yi tried to control the blood water with a Demon Taming Spirit Seed, but it attacked the seed and caused him pain.
• The blood-water face identified itself as Gu Moche and insisted that its indestructible demonic art proved its identity.
• Lin Yi questioned whether the creature was truly Gu Moche, then offered to consider freeing it if it shared useful information.
• The creature revealed that the Apocalypse Continent was the Source Realm Continent and demanded that Lin Yi release it before negotiating further.

Lin Yi tricked the Mysterious Blood Man into revealing what he knew about the Source Realm Continent, then brought him out of the Tong Pass Suppression Space. The Mysterious Blood Man tried to flee, but discovered Lin Yi had taken him to a sealed lake with no way out.

• Lin Yi questioned the Mysterious Blood Man about the Blood River Yuan Devouring Method, the Source Realm Continent, and routes into it.
• The Mysterious Blood Man warned Lin Yi that entering the Source Realm Continent through the Ancient Secret Realm would make him an undocumented outsider in grave danger.
• Lin Yi moved the Mysterious Blood Man from the Tong Pass Suppression Space to a lake, where the Mysterious Blood Man assumed he had escaped.
• The Mysterious Blood Man threatened revenge and split into droplets of Immortal Blood to flee in multiple directions.
• The fastest droplet emerged from the lake and found the area sealed by Shaman Towers, Shaman Arrays, and a massive dragon shadow.
