Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi protected Grand Saint Granny and the Gu Family Old Ancestor, then destroyed the Evil Spirits and Ghost Spirits attacking the Black Mountain secret realm. He confronted the Giant Hand Evil at the vast spatial rift, but found the opening too large to repair completely.

• Lin Yi sent Grand Saint Granny and the Gu Family Old Ancestor into the Spirit Vine World, where Gu Tianxue treated their injuries and asked about him.
• Lin Yi used his Yang Fire to destroy the Evil Spirits and collected the Evil Qi Stones they dropped.
• The Giant Hand Evil released Ghost Spirits through the rift, and Lin Yi burned them away with his Qiankun Yin Yang Domain before collecting their drops.
• Lin Yi taunted the Giant Hand Evil, which admitted it could not enter the secret realm yet because its cross-realm attack had drained its strength.
• Lin Yi examined the hundreds-of-meters-long spatial rift and realized it was too large for him to repair completely.

Lin Yi sealed the Sky-Rending Maw in the Black Mountain secret realm and learned that the Black Magnetic Mountain and its Artifact Spirit might have caused the disaster. He headed for the mountain’s Legacy Stone Pillar to find the Artifact Spirit, while Fruit Old Face revealed that the divine artifact was an ominous Evil Artifact with a hidden danger.

• Lin Yi used the Boundary Sealing Stone, Flowing Silver Silk, and Primordial Heaven Stabilizing Pearl to seal the Sky-Rending Maw against the Giant Hand Evil.
• Grand Saint Granny told Lin Yi that the breach had appeared after she and her junior sister sensed violent spatial tremors.
• The Gu Family Old Ancestor suggested that the Black Magnetic Mountain’s Artifact Spirit might be targeting the Gu Family because Gu Xianhe had turned an enemy into the artifact’s spirit.
• Gu Tianxue suggested the Artifact Spirit might be hiding in the Dome Space inside the Magnetic Mountain, so Lin Yi rushed to the Legacy Stone Pillar.
• Lin Yi brought Fruit Old Face to the secret realm, where it revealed that Gu Xianhe had used an evil method to refine the Black Magnetic Mountain and feared it might devour its master.

Lin Yi confronted Fruit Old Face about the Black Magnetic Mountain Artifact Spirit’s mutation and forced it to reveal that it had been cultivated as a backup safeguard. In the corrupted Dome Space, Fruit Old Face admitted it could not control the artifact alone and asked Lin Yi to injure the Mutated Artifact Spirit while it strengthened itself with Sprout Thread Fruit.

• Lin Yi entered the Legacy Stone Pillar’s Trial space and opened a passage to Black Magnetic Mountain’s Dome Space.
• He found the Dome Space filled with Black Mist and sensed a sinister gaze watching Fruit Old Face.
• Lin Yi threatened to push Fruit Old Face into the Black Mist, forcing it to reveal Gu Xianqin had made it a second safeguard against the Black Magnetic Mountain Artifact Spirit.
• Fruit Old Face confessed it had lost authority over the secret realm a thousand years earlier and had brought the realm into the world to seek help.
• Fruit Old Face said it could briefly contend with the Mutated Artifact Spirit after eating Sprout Thread Fruit, and asked Lin Yi to injure the spirit while it prepared.

Lin Yi confronted the mutated Artifact Spirit inside Black Magnetic Mountain and learned it was formed from Gu Xianhe’s severed negative emotions, while Fruit Old Face was a remnant of Gu Xianqin. Their fight began with Lin Yi using the Twelve Tong Pass Treasures against the Spirit and its summoned Ghost Spirits, leaving the Spirit on the defensive but still able to resist with the mountain’s power.

• Lin Yi entered the Dome Space, drove back the Black Mist with his Domain, and forced the hidden mutated Artifact Spirit to reveal itself.
• The Artifact Spirit identified itself as the negative consciousness Gu Xianhe had extracted from his body using the Seven Sins Spirit Refining Technique, and revealed that Fruit Old Face was a remnant of Gu Xianqin.
• Lin Yi surrounded the Artifact Spirit with his Domain and attacked, but a special law blocked his power.
• Lin Yi summoned the twelve Tong Pass Treasures as the Artifact Spirit released Black Mist and summoned Ghost Spirits from the Far West Black Mist.
• Lin Yi’s Domain destroyed many Ghost Spirits, while the Tong Pass Treasures suppressed the Artifact Spirit; the Spirit offered him Black Magnetic Mountain, but Lin Yi continued trying to capture it.

Lin Yi negotiated a Reborn Contract with the Blackwater Artifact Spirit, agreeing to protect it in exchange for Gu Xianhe’s remains, inheritance, and Black Mountain secret realm. The Artifact Spirit revealed Gu Xianhe’s corpse and the Spatial Spirit Treasure holding his possessions, while Lin Yi remained responsible for helping it mutate safely.

• The Giant Hand Evil appeared through the Black Mist passage, but the Blackwater Artifact Spirit sealed it off with a Void Pouch membrane left by Gu Xianhe.
• The Blackwater Artifact Spirit threatened to destroy Black Magnetic Mountain and the secret realm, so Lin Yi negotiated with it instead of trying to capture it.
• The Artifact Spirit offered Gu Xianhe’s inheritance and the mountain’s main body in exchange for its freedom, and Lin Yi proposed a Descender mission contract.
• The Artifact Spirit issued a mission requiring Lin Yi to release it, protect its safety and freedom, and refrain from pursuing or killing it; Lin Yi accepted.
• The Artifact Spirit said it needed to absorb and refine Black Mist before it could finish mutating, and Lin Yi agreed to protect it while demanding his mission reward.
• The Artifact Spirit produced Gu Xianhe’s shriveled corpse and said his Spatial Spirit Treasure contained his possessions, including wealth and resources he had plundered.

Lin Yi and Gu Tianxue opened Gu Xianhe’s Spatial Spirit Treasure and recovered relics preserved for hundreds of thousands of years. As Lin Yi stabilized the treasure’s fragile books, he discovered a Gold-grade technique called Sky Probing Hand.

• Lin Yi brought Gu Tianxue out of the Spirit Vine World so she could use her Gu Family blood to open Gu Xianhe’s pendant bracelet Spiritual Treasure.
• Gu Tianxue opened the treasure and removed several sealed Spirit Boxes containing four Void Pouches from underage Void Toad Beasts.
• Gu Tianxue found several badly damaged Demigod Artifacts, while most of the ordinary stored materials had crumbled to dust.
• Lin Yi used his Domain power to stabilize the treasure’s space as Gu Tianxue retrieved hundreds of books.
• Lin Yi separated pages from one book and found the Gold-grade technique Sky Probing Hand, which could steal treasures from an enemy’s storage space from afar.

Lin Yi and Gu Tianxue uncovered Gu Xianhe’s hidden techniques and scattered notes, learning that he pursued Emperor Law and World Law before a flawed spirit-transformation art corrupted him. The Blackwater Artifact Spirit connected the notes to itself and Gu Xianqin, but Lin Yi was left asking about the missing Seven Sins Spirit Transformation Art and an Emperor Rank secret technique.

• Lin Yi memorized Gu Xianhe’s Golden External Techniques, including the Sky Probing Hand and Entrapping Dragon Method.
• Lin Yi and Gu Tianxue found Gu Xianhe’s notes revealing his resentment toward his clan, his interest in Emperor Law, and his plans to cultivate World Law.

• The Blackwater Artifact Spirit said Gu Xianqin was probably dead and suggested Lin Yi use the Source Realm Heavenly Secret Art to investigate.
• Lin Yi asked why the books lacked the Seven Sins Spirit Transformation Art and the Emperor Rank secret technique.

Lin Yi bargained with the Blackwater Artifact Spirit for Gu Xianhe’s memories and learned about the Dark Mist Realm, then guarded it while it devoured Black Mist and grew stronger. The Artifact Spirit explained the dangers of the Far West Black Mist and began telling Lin Yi why the Giant Hand Evil had pursued it.

• Lin Yi traded the Death Spirit Stones and Eerie Spirit Cores for the Blackwater Artifact Spirit’s account of Gu Xianhe’s memories and asked about the Dark Mist Realm.
• The Blackwater Artifact Spirit explained that the Dark Mist Realm was a Supreme Realm whose Black Mist had caused the Martial Domain to collapse, and that Gu Xianhe lost his Academy admission slot to someone else.
• Lin Yi sent Gu Xianhe’s corpse with Gu Tianxue into the Spirit Vine World and stayed behind to guard the Blackwater Artifact Spirit as it devoured Black Mist.
• The Blackwater Artifact Spirit grew to twice its size, shifted Black Magnetic Mountain’s spatial coordinates, and explained that the mountain could open passages to different locations.
• A four-star Professional Ghost Spirit fled from the dome, but the Blackwater Artifact Spirit killed and devoured it, warning Lin Yi that such Ghost Spirits had owners who might send stronger creatures after them.
• When Lin Yi asked again about the Giant Hand Evil, the Blackwater Artifact Spirit said it had been pursuing it for hundreds of years.

• Lin Yi told the Blackwater Artifact Spirit to close the passage, leaving the furious Evil Spirit outside.

• The Giant Hand Evil caught and devoured the Green-faced Fanged Evil Spirit after it had swallowed the Forbidden Evil Spirit.
• Lin Yi brought Lumba into the Dome Space, gave his name and origin, and learned that Lumba was a Preparatory Student searching the Dark Mist Realm for Starfall Academy’s entrance.
• Lumba told Lin Yi that he cultivated Fighting Qi and possessed a treasure from his father that let him cultivate the World Law directly.
• Lumba described the Source Realm’s supernatural systems and said many could not reach Emperor Rank without drawing on the World Law or Immortal Physique method.
• Lumba explained that his father controlled an Emperor-level Great Dragon, ruled a world, and held Official status in Starfall City rather than belonging to the Emperor Alliance.

Lin Yi learned more about Starfall City and Starfall Academy from Lumba, then exchanged a body cultivation method for the Doulong Secret Manual. After discovering that Lumba possessed three talents he could not copy, Lin Yi asked about the Academy’s entrance examination.

• Lumba explained Starfall City’s hierarchy, the Ascension Cities, and Starfall Academy’s role in training recruits for positions in the city.
• Lin Yi showed Lumba a wisp of Source Qi, surprising him, and asked to trade cultivation manuals.

• Lumba warned that Academy Preparatory Students still had to pass an examination to enroll, and Lin Yi asked him to explain the process.

Lumba told Lin Yi about Starfall Academy’s three recruitment routes and its entrance tests, giving him confidence about enrolling. After Lin Yi returned to the Dome Space, the Blackwater Artifact Spirit warned him about Gu Xianhe’s powerful family and urged him not to reveal his connection to the Ancient Domain at the Academy.

• Lin Yi promised to take Lumba out of the secret realm and help him enter the Dark Mist Realm, and Lumba explained how Starfall Academy recruited students.

Lin Yi studied the Doulong Secret Realm, learned to imitate Fighting Qi, and changed profession to Doulong Warrior. After the Blackwater Artifact Spirit completed its mutation, it gave Lin Yi Gu Xianhe’s memories of the prototype Emperor Law based on the Heaven and Earth Great Mill.

• Lin Yi learned that Gu Xianhe had likely been expelled from his clan for killing a main-branch member and decided to hide their relationship if he entered Starfall Academy.

• The Blackwater Artifact Spirit gave Lin Yi an ink-black droplet containing Gu Xianhe’s memories, and Lin Yi began examining them.

Lin Yi learned Gu Xianhe’s Heaven and Earth Great Mill and unleashed an unstable version that badly injured the Giant Hand Evil. After the Blackwater Artifact Spirit escaped Black Magnetic Mountain, Lin Yi wondered whether it was Gu Xianhe’s means of extending his life.

• Lin Yi copied Gu Xianhe’s palm movements and formed a powerful vortex, realizing the technique drew on Yin-Yang and heaven and earth.
• The Blackwater Artifact Spirit opened the passage, and Lin Yi hurled the unstable vortex at the waiting Giant Hand Evil.
• The vortex exploded in the Dark Mist Realm, grinding apart the Giant Hand Evil and forcing it to flee with its body badly diminished.
• Lin Yi studied the inheritance memories and understood that the Heaven and Earth Great Mill sealed space before grinding and annihilating its target.
• After exhausting his energy, Lin Yi concluded the technique suited him because he could combine True Qi with Source Qi to use it more often.
• The Blackwater Artifact Spirit left after escaping Black Magnetic Mountain, and Lin Yi suspected it might be Gu Xianhe’s way of extending his life.

Lin Yi stripped the Black Mountain secret realm of its valuables before it collapsed, then returned to the West Mountain Southern Domain with Lumba.

• Lin Yi ordered Old Face Fruit to study the Three-Legged Small Tripod and asked Gu Tianxue for advice about Lumba.

• Lin Yi spent two weeks preparing for his journey, leaving Gu Tianxue the Twelve Tong Passes supreme treasure and handing her the affairs of the two domains.

• Lin Yi strengthened his Childbearing Talent and got Gu Tianxue pregnant.

After rescuing the female eerie spirit beneath the Dark River, Lin Yi learned that the Heavenly Dao Stone had driven the Apocalypse World’s transformations and that a war over its fragments had erased parts of history. He left with a lead that one fragment might still be hidden inside a Bronze Gate only Sequencers could open.

• Lin Yi freed the female eerie spirit and reunited her with He Zhen, settling his mission beneath the Dark River.
• The female eerie spirit explained how the Heavenly Dao Stone had transformed the Martial Domain, caused world mergers, and brought successive supernatural inheritances into the Apocalypse World.
• Lin Yi questioned why the Sequencer war and the Heavenly Dao Stone fragments were absent from the Ancient Domain and Southern Domain’s records, and suspected Myriad Manifestations City had been involved.
• The female eerie spirit recalled that a Sequencer from the First Vein had hidden a Heavenly Dao Stone Fragment inside a Bronze Gate, prompting Lin Yi to ask where the gate was.

Lin Yi arranged for the female eerie spirit and He Zhen, then prepared for his journey to the Far West Black Mist by moving half of Ancient Pool Village’s Divine Pool into his Small World. He ended the chapter demanding that Kong Shan Shui hand over Kongming Mountain’s Little Sun.

• Lin Yi offered the female eerie spirit a place in his Small World, and He Zhen asked to return to Hexian Village before possibly joining him.
• Lin Yi met Lumba in Ancient Pool Village and reassured him that they would leave for Starfall Academy after Lin Yi handled a few matters.
• Lin Yi asked the Old Village Chief to bring half of the Divine Pool into his Small World, and the Pool Spirit agreed to settle beside the Jianmu Divine Tree.
• Lin Yi told the Old Village Chief that he suspected powerful forces had seized the missing Divine Pool fragments and erased records of the Divine Sacrifice Legacy’s destruction.
• Lin Yi confronted Kong Shan Shui in Kongming Mountain and demanded to take the Little Sun, saying it belonged to its rightful owner.

Lin Yi persuaded Kong Shan Shui to move Kongming Mountain into his Small World so he could claim the Great Sun Golden Crow. After winning the Artifact Spirit’s trust with Sprout Thread Fruit and his Sequence Divinity, he brought it into the still-empty Small World, where it filled the void with light and heat.

• Lin Yi explained that he needed the Great Sun Golden Crow and offered Kong Shan Shui and Kongming Mountain a place in his Small World.
• Kong Shan Shui agreed to the relocation after bargaining for female assistants, and Kongming Mountain moved its people and artifact-refining equipment through Lin Yi’s Space Passage.
• An official Newborn questioned Lin Yi about the move, but Lin Yi dismissed him and said he would inform Meng Yilan.

• Lin Yi revealed his Fuzhu Divinity, gained the Great Sun Golden Crow Artifact Spirit’s trust, and brought it into his Small World.

Lin Yi investigated the Triangular Boundary Stone on Blue Star and learned that it bore a mark connected to a Divine Relic Realm Sequence Elder. After Lu Bagui’s confusing divination suggested “shatter,” Lin Yi began breaking the stone, leaving its interior cracked.

• Lin Yi returned to Blue Star and secretly examined the Triangular Boundary Stone, confirming that he ranked first in both Newborn potential and strength but could no longer enter the Heavenly Ladder Trial.
• Lin Yi summoned the female eerie spirit, who identified a refining mark on the Boundary Stone as belonging to a Fire Qilin Sequence Elder from the Divine Relic Realm.
• Lin Yi asked Lu Bagui to divine whether the Boundary Stone was connected to a Heavenly Dao Stone Fragment, but his ordinary divinations yielded no result.
• With Lin Yi’s permission, Lu Bagui performed Turtle Heart Divination, whose chaotic patterns appeared to form the character “shatter.”
• Lin Yi decided to break the Boundary Stone and exerted most of his strength until white cracks spread from its pointed pillar toward its base.

Lin Yi found strange stones hidden inside the Boundary Stones in Dragon Kingdom and North America, and both stones entered his small world. After a Boundary Stone investigation on Blue Star, Zi Shanshui concluded that an Eight-Realm Martial Saint had destroyed them, unaware that Lin Yi had invented that explanation.

• Lin Yi shattered the Triangular Boundary Stone, found a strange stone inside, and absorbed it into his small world, where Source Qi production increased more than threefold.
• Lin Yi traveled to North America, broke the Two-ridge Boundary Stone, and absorbed its strange stone, which glowed with scarlet and green light in his small world.
• Zhu Wen told Lin Yi that Blue Star's two Boundary Stones had been destroyed, and Lin Yi suggested an escaped Eight-Realm Martial Saint was responsible and sent Zi Shanshui to investigate.
• Zi Shanshui crossed to Blue Star with Lin Yi's Primal Chaos Stabilizing Bead and inspected the shattered Boundary Stones, declaring that the escaped Eight-Realm Martial Saint had destroyed them.
• After Niu Jianjun eased tensions between Zi Shanshui and Meng Yilan, Zi Shanshui wondered why Lin Yi wanted her to confirm a culprit who did not actually exist.
