Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi captured and suppressed the Mysterious Blood Man’s five portions of Indestructible Blood Water, then learned from Dugu Wang that six Sequencers had searched the secret realm lake. Dugu Wang recalled seeing two vast planets joined together when they entered, leaving Lin Yi to consider how the two secret realms were connected.

• Lin Yi used Bruce and Gallier’s Shaman Array and Blazing Flame Fire to force the hidden Immortal Blood droplets from the Spirit Lake and capture five portions.
• Lin Yi refused Bruce’s request for a droplet, then burned all five portions in the Suppression Space and ordered Dream Demon Venerable and Pine Wood Envoy to guard them.
• Dugu Wang told Lin Yi that six Sequencers had searched the lake and gathered the Profound Yellow Qi while he was away.
• Lin Yi suspected the Sequencers were connected to Chang Sheng the Great and asked Dugu Wang whether he knew of linked secret realms.
• Dugu Wang recalled seeing two vast planets apparently embedded together when they were drawn into the secret realm.

Lin Yi left Dugu Wang to return to the underground space while he stayed in the Ancient Secret Realm to contact people from the Source Realm Continent. Two Sequence Squads searched for the missing Huo Dou Squad, and Captain Turtle Shell secretly set aside Profound Yellow Qi for himself and his team.

• Dugu Wang theorized that the Ancient Secret Realm was a shifting sphere with Yin-Yang sides connected by special spaces, and Lin Yi warned that another spatial disturbance might leave them trapped.
• Lin Yi gave Dugu Wang a Communication Jade Stone and told him to notify him if spatial turbulence appeared, then took the Primal Chaos Stabilizing Bead and vanished beneath the lake.
• Six Sequencers split into two squads to search for the Huo Dou Squad and collect Profound Yellow Qi; the eastern squad discussed whether finding the Huo Dou Inheritance could help them become an Imperial Son.
• Captain Turtle Shell's squad debated whether to keep searching or report to the Domain Envoy, and Captain Turtle Shell ordered his teammates to hand over their Seven-Colored Spirit Bags.
• Captain Turtle Shell calculated that the squad had fourteen extra portions of Profound Yellow Qi and a quota reward, then concealed twenty-four portions to divide later.

Captain Turtle Shell divined that a mysterious powerhouse was moving through the Ancient Secret Realm, only to be captured by Lin Yi along with his two subordinates. Lin Yi learned from the subordinates’ memories that the realm was connected to the Source Realm and belonged to the Chang Sheng Imperial Domain, but he found little information about the wider Source Realm.

• Captain Turtle Shell used his Psionic Turtle Shell to divine a powerful figure plundering Profound Yellow Qi and defeating several Domain Envoys, then prepared to flee with his subordinates.
• Lin Yi appeared behind Captain Turtle Shell’s two team members, restrained all three, and demanded their Profound Yellow Qi.
• Captain Turtle Shell handed over the stored Profound Yellow Qi, and Lin Yi transported him and his subordinates into Tong Pass.
• Lin Yi asked Captain Turtle Shell about Apocalypse World, then read the memories of his two four-star Sequencer subordinates with the Bewitching God Heart Sutra.
• Lin Yi learned that the Ancient Secret Realm was connected to the Source Realm and that the Chang Sheng Imperial Domain had eighteen regions ruled by Sequence Domain Envoys, but the subordinates knew little beyond their domain.

After learning that the Profound Yellow Treasury held the secret realm’s collected Profound Yellow Qi, Lin Yi agreed to investigate it after Lu Bagui performed a divination. Lu Bagui’s turtle shell began burning under Lin Yi’s flame, leaving his prediction—and his safety—uncertain.

• Lin Yi found no information about the Apocalypse World or Newborns in the memories he had searched and asked Lu Bagui where the Profound Yellow Qi was gathered.
• Lu Bagui told Lin Yi about the Profound Yellow Treasury, where Profound Yellow Qi was sealed in void crystals, and suggested raiding it instead of the Domain Envoy camp.
• Lin Yi suspected the treasury lay in the Dragon Liquid Imperial Domain and agreed to go only after Lu Bagui divined whether the trip would be fortunate or disastrous.
• Lu Bagui invoked his He Luo Turtle power and asked Lin Yi to use a flame to scorch his turtle shell so he could see the Future.
• Lin Yi’s Blazing Flame Fire scorched Lu Bagui’s treasured shell, and Lin Yi reduced the fire while warning him to continue the divination.

Lu Bagui divined that following Lin Yi could fulfill his ambitions and then used the costly Turtle Heart Divination Technique to predict the Profound Yellow Treasury expedition. After the divination indicated fortune only after nightfall, Lin Yi took Lu Bagui to the Treasury’s location, where they prepared to proceed.

• Lu Bagui saw a vision of himself reaching Emperor Rank and wondered whether Lin Yi was the great benefactor foretold to change his fate.
• Lu Bagui used Turtle Heart Blood and Ten-Thousand-Year Pine Wood to divine Lin Yi’s fortune, learning that the expedition would be auspicious after nightfall but dangerous before then.
• Lin Yi left Lu Bagui in his Divine Artifact’s Suppression Space, where Pine Wood explained that the master demanded loyalty and punished disobedience with eternal flames.
• After night fell, Lin Yi took Lu Bagui to the lake where the Huo Dou Squad had disappeared and prepared to head east toward the Profound Yellow Treasury.

Lin Yi learned about the Chang Sheng and Dragon Liquid Imperial Domains, then infiltrated the Profound Yellow Treasury to investigate how its workers produced Void Crystal Coins. He discovered thousands of people, including women and children, laboring under harsh conditions to process Void Crystals and Profound Yellow Qi.

• Lin Yi questioned Lu Bagui about the Imperial Domains and suspected they were Small Worlds whose inhabitants knew little about the true Source Realm.
• Lin Yi brought Lu Bagui to the Broken Finger Mountain Range, hid him in the Suppression Space, and used Life Traces Manifestation to locate life beneath the mountains.
• Lin Yi entered the Treasury’s underground Fire Rooms and saw Brute Force Sequence workers smelting and hammering Void Crystals under a Steward’s threats.
• Lin Yi followed the Steward to the central Karst Cave, where elderly people, women, and children used strange spider-like bodies to portion Profound Yellow Qi into Void Crystal Coins.
• Lin Yi grew more troubled as he saw the Dragon Liquid Imperial Domain’s workers being ordered to make at least sixteen coins from each portion of Profound Yellow Qi.

Lin Yi infiltrated the Profound Yellow Treasury, where Void Crystal Coins were made from Profound Yellow Qi, and discovered that Domain Envoy Ling San was a Ninth Realm Martial Saint. After stealing the Steward’s place and searching a guard’s memories, Lin Yi learned how the treasury operated and that Ling San regularly delivered Profound Yellow Qi to the Dragon Liquid Emperor.

• Lin Yi discovered the treasury’s honeycomb-like layout and found three Domain Envoys guarding its production areas and storeroom.
• Lin Yi captured the plump Steward in the Suppression Space and disguised himself as the Steward.
• Ling San sensed a martial artist’s aura, questioned the disguised Lin Yi, and then left to check on the storeroom’s guards.
• Lin Yi inspected the Void Crystal Coins and searched the memories of a Three Stars Sequencer guard using the Bewitching God Heart Sutra.
• Lin Yi learned that the treasury produced hundreds of thousands of coins when Profound Yellow Qi erupted and that Ling San regularly brought Qi to deliver to the Dragon Liquid Emperor.

Lin Yi took advantage of the battle between Dragon Liquid Emperor and Chi Jie to evacuate the treasury workers and seize its Profound Yellow Qi and Void Crystal Coins. The powerful figures moved to contain the dispute and stabilize the Underground Fire Vein, while Lin Yi remained inside with two Domain Envoys who carried more Void Crystals.

• Dragon Liquid Emperor and Chi Jie fought above the Profound Yellow Treasury, and Chi Jie threatened to trigger the Underground Fire Vein and destroy it.
• Lin Yi sent the treasury workers fleeing, opened extra exits through the cave walls, and collected the Profound Yellow Qi and Void Crystal Coins.
• Lin Yi met Ling San and two Domain Envoys, told Ling San he had already collected the central cave's valuables, and learned the other two carried more Void Crystals.
• Dragon Liquid Emperor accused Chi Jie of attacking the treasury to establish his authority, while Chi Jie demanded that the treasury be moved into his territory.
• Sheng Emperor Chang ordered the two rivals to end their fight and warned the alliance members to repair the treasury and prevent delays to Void Crystal Coin production.

Lin Yi abducted Fei Zhi, Poisonous Sheep, and hundreds of Sequencers from the Profound Yellow Treasury, then raced toward the space beneath the lake as the underground tremors resumed. While the Dragon Liquid Emperor and the Sheng Emperor Chang searched for the thief, Lin Yi hid nearby and witnessed Old Turtle Heluo being forced to divine his location.

• After sensing that Fei Zhi and Poisonous Sheep were in danger, the Dragon Liquid Emperor rushed back toward the Profound Yellow Treasury and ordered Ling San to return with him.
• Lin Yi hurried back with his captives, placing Fei Zhi, Poisonous Sheep, and hundreds of Sequencers in the Suppression Space while Dream Demon Venerable, Pine Wood Envoy, and Lu Bagui discussed their possible fates.
• Two Emperor level experts searched for the thief, but Lin Yi concealed himself with the Primordial Heaven Stabilizing Pearl and avoided detection.
• The Sheng Emperor Chang Venerable arrived with Old Turtle Heluo and demanded that he use the Turtle Heart Divination Technique again to locate the thief.
• Old Turtle Heluo agreed after the Sheng Emperor Chang Venerable threatened his clan and promised to appoint a successor after Heluo died.

Old Turtle Heluo used divination to identify the Profound Yellow Treasury thief but concealed what he learned to protect Lu Bagui and the He Luo Clan, directing Chang Sheng the Great east instead. Lin Yi returned from the unstable underground space with Dugu Wang, and they confirmed they were back beneath the Shaman Tower.

• Old Turtle Heluo used Turtle Heart Blood and Ten Thousand Year Spirit Wood to divine the thief's trail, discovering the culprit was connected to Lu Bagui and hiding nearby.
• Old Turtle Heluo delayed interpreting the broken divination marks, then used another divination to learn that the He Luo Clan's future held many descendants.
• Old Turtle Heluo told Chang Sheng the Great that the thief was fleeing east and underground, and Chang Sheng took him toward Chi Jie's territory.
• Lin Yi emerged from the void, collected Old Turtle Heluo's cracked shell, and returned to Dugu Wang as the underground space began to stabilize.
• Lin Yi and Dugu Wang passed through the final Time Quake and confirmed they were back beneath the Shaman Tower.
• Dugu Wang agreed to keep their experience secret and decided to follow Lin Yi.

Lin Yi enslaved Domain Envoy Fei Zhi, learned that the Dragon Liquid Imperial Domain exploited its Sequencers and confiscated the Profound Yellow Treasury’s wealth. He left with Poisonous Sheep dead and roughly two thousand portions of Profound Yellow Qi, while considering how to strengthen his Spirit Power.

• Griffith told Lin Yi and Dugu Wang that Ancient Domain Martial Saints had searched the area and left, and Lin Yi urged Griffith to prepare to leave Blood Curse Swamp at dawn.
• Lin Yi implanted a Demon Taming Spirit Seed in Fei Zhi, who revealed that Dragon Liquid Emperor’s Imperial Domain was a Small World and that its Sequencers were exploited and stripped of their Profound Yellow Qi.
• Poisonous Sheep secretly proposed that Fei Zhi help him ambush Lin Yi, but Fei Zhi exposed the plan, and Lin Yi killed Poisonous Sheep.
• Poisonous Sheep’s corpse turned into three Drops, including a golden Poison Sheep Blood material that contained an incomplete Sequence Inheritance.
• Fei Zhi handed Lin Yi the treasury’s Void Crystal Coins and Profound Yellow Qi, bringing Lin Yi’s haul from the Profound Yellow Treasury to about two thousand portions.

Lin Yi fed Profound Yellow Qi to the Seven-Colored Giant Egg until it exploded and transformed his Small World, producing Source Qi. After testing its power, he used it to break the Skeletal Hand’s thumb, then imprisoned the hand and fed the remaining Source Qi to the Blazing Flame Fire, which began evaporating the Immortal Blood drops.

• Lin Yi gave Lu Bagui the He Luo Turtle Shell left by his grandfather and promised to take him to another Small World to study divination.
• Lin Yi fed more than two hundred portions of Profound Yellow Qi to the Seven-Colored Giant Egg, which exploded and produced Source Qi as his Small World repaired itself.
• Lin Yi met Dugu Wang and Griffith in the Blood Curse Swamp; Dugu Wang chose to explore alone, while Griffith departed after asking Lin Yi to cover for him.
• Lin Yi confirmed that his Source Qi had Undying characteristics and used it to snap the thumb of the gigantic Skeletal Hand that attacked him.
• Lin Yi trapped the Skeletal Hand in the Suppression Space and threw his remaining Source Qi into the Blazing Flame Fire, causing the Immortal Blood drops within it to shrink.

Lin Yi used Source Qi to threaten the Mysterious Blood Man, who offered knowledge of the Source Realm in exchange for release, but Lin Yi left him trapped. At the Sea of Stars, the gathered factions waited for the remaining explorers and prepared to rely on the Great Shamans to navigate its dangerous Spiritual Vortices.

• The Mysterious Blood Man proposed sharing what he knew about the Source Realm if Lin Yi swore to release him and not become his enemy, but Lin Yi refused to negotiate and left the Suppression Space.
• The Honored Demons, Great Shamans, and Ninth Realm Martial Saints assembled outside the Sea of Stars, where Zhen Changsheng and Tai Shang Lingyun argued about its dangers.
• Venerable Saint told the gathered Martial Saints that the Great Shamans needed to use their special methods to guide them around the Spiritual Vortices and help collect treasures.
• Xun Hanfeng arrived injured and said that Melderay had tried to kill his group after they discovered him secretly collecting Profound Yellow Qi.
• Venerable Saint declined to punish the Great Shamans for Melderay's actions, and Tai Shang Lingyun kept quiet about his own grievance to avoid jeopardizing their help in the Sea of Stars.

At the Sea of Stars, Tai Shang Lingyun tried to blame Lin Yi for Tuoba Kuan’s death, but Lin Yi dismissed his accusations and went to report privately to Venerable Saint and the Mansion Master. Tai Shang Lingyun was left humiliated as the others rejected his claims, while Qian Poqiong doubted Lin Yi had killed Tuoba Kuan.

• Bu Hui Li claimed his team had received less than one portion of Profound Yellow Qi each, though others doubted him.
• Dugu Wang told Venerable Saint that Tuoba Kuan had died after a mysterious demonic expert ambushed them beneath the Blood Curse Swamp.
• Tai Shang Lingyun accused Lin Yi of killing Tuoba Kuan and demanded that Venerable Saint enforce the rules against him.
• Lin Yi arrived at the Sea of Stars, answered Tai Shang Lingyun with a cutting remark, and then privately spoke with Venerable Saint and the Mansion Master.
• Xun Hanfeng and the other Ninth Realm Martial Saints mocked Tai Shang Lingyun, while Qian Poqiong told him the accusation could not hurt Lin Yi without evidence.

Lin Yi reported what happened in Blood Curse Swamp and learned that the path beyond the Ninth Realm Martial Saint involved either the World Law or Immortal Physique cultivation method. Venerable Saint explained that Wushi recommended the World Law for Lin Yi, and Lin Yi compared his Source Qi cultivation with the Mansion Master’s.

• Lin Yi told Venerable Saint and the Prefecture Lord about Tuoba Kuan’s death and the Mysterious Blood Man, who claimed to be Gu Moche.
• Venerable Saint contacted his group and learned that Wushi knew nothing about the other Ancient Secret Realm but wanted Lin Yi taught about the later path of martial cultivation.
• Venerable Saint explained that Immortal Martial Saints could cultivate through the World Law or the Immortal Physique method, and said Lin Yi’s master followed the World Law while he followed the other method.
• The Mansion Master showed Lin Yi the Source Qi produced by his Void Small World and said he also followed the World Law.
• Lin Yi said he had used a little over twenty portions of Profound Yellow Qi and produced one strand of Source Qi in three or four hours, while the Mansion Master claimed to produce one in a little over two hours.

The Venerable Saint confirmed that Tuoba Kuan had secretly cultivated demonic arts and prepared to investigate the Tuoba Family, while the group set out to explore the Sea of Stars aboard Serlan’s Bronze Boat. As the boat reached the depths, a meteor containing three streams of Profound Yellow Qi appeared, and a Ninth Realm Ancestor surnamed Chang leapt off to pursue it.

• The Venerable Saint said Tuoba Kuan’s death had another cause and announced an investigation into the Tuoba Family’s possible demonic arts.
• Serlan summoned the Bronze Boat and proved it could detect and evade Spiritual Vortices, convincing the group to board.
• Lin Yi sat on the Ram-headed Envoy, while Zhen Changsheng sat on Honored Leopard, provoking the demons before the Venerable Saint intervened.
• Serlan piloted the crowded boat through the Spiritual Vortices toward the core of the Sea of Stars, and Qian Poqiong unsuccessfully tried to buy it.
• A meteor carrying three streams of Profound Yellow Qi passed near the boat, and a Ninth Realm Ancestor surnamed Chang leapt off to chase it.

Lin Yi rescued Old Ancestor Chang from a Spiritual Vortex and learned that only Source Qi could resist its devouring force. After reaching a meteor-rich area, Lin Yi gave Chang more Emerald Light Force and continued searching for treasures while preparing to strengthen his standing in the Ancient Domain.

• Old Ancestor Chang was swallowed by a Spiritual Vortex while pursuing a meteor, but Lin Yi used Domain power and a Source Qi-charged Tong Pass Treasure to pull him to safety.
• Lin Yi gave Old Ancestor Chang Emerald Light Force, winning the gratitude of Chang and the favor of several neutral-faction ancestors, while Qian Poqiong and Tai Shang Lingyun discussed Lin Yi's growing influence.
• Lin Yi discovered that the Spiritual Vortex devoured ordinary energy and objects, while Source Qi could counter its suction.
• The Bronze Boat reached a stretch of the Sea of Stars rich in Meteor Treasures, and Venerable Saint warned everyone against internal conflict as they spread out to search.
• Old Ancestor Chang asked Lin Yi for more Emerald Light Force, and Lin Yi gave him three portions while considering how to gain support before leaving the Ancient Domain.
• After half a day of searching, Great Shaman Serlan and several Nine-Realm Ancestors obtained Meteor Treasures.

Lin Yi used his treasure-seeking talent to collect useful Meteor Treasures as a meteor shower struck the Sea of Stars. He seized a Broken Divine Artifact called the Myriad Living Beings Sword, while the meteor shower continued.

• A large meteor shower appeared in the Sea of Stars, and Lin Yi used his Spiritual Resonance Treasure Eye to identify and collect selected treasures.
• Xun Hanfeng asked why Lin Yi passed over Profound Yellow Qi, and Lin Yi explained that he did not want to take too much from the others.
• Lin Yi spotted a brilliant meteor containing a Broken Divine Artifact, and the Ninth Realm Martial Saints and Great Shamans fought to claim it.
• Lin Yi used the Twelve Tong Passes, fueled by Source Qi, to suppress the other contenders and seize the meteor.
• Lin Yi identified the sword as the Myriad Living Beings Sword, a Third-grade Spiritual Artifact that required vast Living Willpower to use.
• Venerable Saint sent the curious onlookers back to watching the meteor shower, and Lin Yi resumed searching for treasures.

After leaving the Sea of Stars to answer Wushi’s summons to the Poison Dragon Cave, Lin Yi barely escaped a moving Spiritual Vortex and continued cautiously through the dangerous region. He had not yet reached his master, and he remained wary of Wushi’s intentions.

• Lin Yi examined the damaged Myriad Life Sword and discovered that its Artifact Spirit had entered a state of Deathly Stillness.
• Wuchen summoned Lin Yi to the Poison Dragon Cave, where Wushi had found a great opportunity.
• Lin Yi told the Venerable Saint and the Prefecture Lord he was leaving, while privately questioning whether Wushi planned to exploit his newly formed Source Qi.
• Lin Yi departed the Sea of Stars alone, confident he could retrace the Bronze Boat’s route, and Great Shaman Serlan returned to competing for treasures.
• A moving Spiritual Vortex attacked Lin Yi, tearing apart his Source Qi barrier and Spiritual Treasure-grade robe before he escaped.
• Lin Yi abandoned the Bronze Boat’s route and began probing ahead with his own body to detect hidden Spiritual Vortices.

Lin Yi entered Poison Dragon Cave with newly acquired poison-resistant Talents and found Wuchen Gongzi cornered by fiend beasts. He defeated the beasts and collected their Drops, while Wuchen offered to share his secret body-tempering method.

• Lin Yi discovered that the suppressed Giant Skeleton Palm had regenerated its damaged thumb bone.
• Lin Yi entered Poison Dragon Cave after acquiring two Golden Talents that protected him from poison.
• Lin Yi found Wuchen Gongzi hiding from fiend beasts and learned that Wuchen had angered them while tempering his body with fiendish Qi.
• Lin Yi attacked the fiend beasts with the Flame Lotus Li Fire Furnace and killed them, turning them into Drops of high-grade baleful Qi.
• Wuchen Gongzi emerged and ingratiated himself with Lin Yi after watching him collect the Drops.
