Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi abandoned his proposal to fuse Elder Qingfeng’s Creation Method with his Primordial Law and began developing the Innate Spirit Treasure Secret Art from its foundations. To learn how to create treasures comparable to Emperor Artifacts, he secretly studied a book from the past and discovered their origins were tied to the Heavenly Palace Realm.

• Elder Qingfeng advised Lin Yi to stabilize the unfinished Primordial Law before attempting to fuse it with another method, and Lin Yi thanked him and left with the remaining Enlightenment Tea.
• Lin Yi returned to the thatched cottage and decided to create the Innate Spirit Treasure Secret Art, beginning by investigating the nature and crafting requirements of Emperor Artifacts.
• Lin Yi used his token to enter the past and asked the Time Master for books about Emperor Artifacts; the Time Master arranged for the relevant classics to be delivered.
• The Great Elder brought books to the library pavilion but sensed someone was hidden there, then left without finding Lin Yi.
• Lin Yi read the General Treatise on Emperor Artifacts and learned that Emperor Artifacts originated in the Heavenly Palace Realm during the Heavenly Court’s rule.

Lin Yi learned that the Spirit Books lacked a complete Emperor Artifact refining method and asked the Great Elder and Su Xiaoxiao how he could obtain one. Su Xiaoxiao offered to trade him Jia Wei’s complete method for two million Void Crystal Coins, and Lin Yi agreed to pay.

• Lin Yi read about Emperor Artifact classifications and assessed the Imperial Evil Artifact Trident and Chaos Profound Bell he possessed.
• After finishing the Spirit Books, Lin Yi decided he needed an Emperor Artifact refining method to deduce the secret art of Innate Spirit Treasures.
• The Great Elder told Lin Yi that Academy credits could not buy a complete method, which required a “One Scroll” qualification to consult.
• Lin Yi contacted Su Xiaoxiao, who said she could arrange a trade with Jia Wei for his complete Nine Revolutions Heavenly Craft Emperor Artifact Record.
• Su Xiaoxiao quoted a price of two million Void Crystal Coins, and Lin Yi agreed to the deal.

Lin Yi sold an Emperor Realm Marrow-Cleansing Spirit to the Academy and secured an advance from the Great Elder to pay for the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Craft Emperor Artifact Record. He collected the legacy from Su Xiaoxiao, despite learning that it was exceptionally difficult to master.

• Lin Yi decided to sell valuable possessions to raise the two million Void Crystal Coins needed for the artifact-refining legacy.
• Lin Yi offered the Great Elder an Emperor Realm Marrow-Cleansing Spirit, and the Great Elder agreed to buy it for four hundred thousand Void Crystal Coins.
• Lin Yi also offered an Emperor Realm Evil Artifact, prompting the Great Elder to advance him the remaining 1.5 million Void Crystal Coins through Ji Xu.
• Ji Xu took away the imprisoned Marrow-Cleansing Spirit in a Six Vein Evil Locking Box.
• Lin Yi contacted Su Xiaoxiao, who told him she had acquired the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Craft Emperor Artifact Record from Jia Wei.
• Lin Yi collected the dark-golden Spirit Scroll from Su Xiaoxiao and learned that Jia Wei had barely mastered its first level after more than five thousand years of study.

Lin Yi spent 1,000 Qi Luck Power to draw the Extreme Red Artifact Master talent, gaining powerful weapon mastery and artifact-refining abilities. The draw triggered a rapid Qi Luck backlash, and he killed more than a hundred sinful Demon Dragon Realm nobles to replenish the cup before considering the nobles captured by other New Student Battle Teams.

• Lin Yi entered the Spirit Vine World and gathered more than a hundred sinful noble captives from the Demon Dragon Realm before beginning his talent draw at Central Mountain Peak.
• Lin Yi spent all 1,000 Qi Luck Power and drew the Extreme Red Artifact Master talent, which also granted him Top-tier Artifact Refinement Talent.
• A Purple Thunderbolt struck near Lin Yi as the Qi Luck backlash began, so he used the Eye of Good and Evil to kill the captives and recover 150 Qi Luck Power.
• Lin Yi realized that the strength of his victims affected how much Qi Luck Power they yielded and considered seeking out sinful captives held by the other New Student Battle Teams.

Lin Yi tested his newly solidified Artifact Master talent and found that it greatly strengthened his control over the Chaos Profound Bell and let him wield the Imperial Evil Artifact trident. He then used the Time Lord’s Token to study the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Craft Emperor Artifact Record in the past, mastered its first section, and prepared to begin refining Emperor Artifacts.

• Lin Yi tested the Chaos Profound Bell and found it responded more readily, required less Undying Qi-Blood, and unleashed fifty percent more power.
• Lin Yi used the Artifact Master talent to control the Imperial Evil Artifact trident, but its evil aura withered nearby vegetation and made it unsuitable for public use.
• Lin Yi visited the Banyan Dragon and Jianmu Divine Tree, then returned to the World Annihilation Spirit Boat and used the charged Token to enter the past.
• Lin Yi spent a month and a half studying the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Craft Emperor Artifact Record and mastered its first section on materials and foundational refining techniques.
• Lin Yi prepared to attempt Emperor Artifact refining, but turning to the next section revealed a crucial problem.

Lin Yi used the World Annihilation Spirit Boat’s Fire Room to refine his first Emperor Artifact, a small shield made according to Primordial Law. The Past Incarnation Time Master watched Lin Yi’s precise work and was deeply impressed by the finished artifact’s defense and ability to reflect force.

• Lin Yi asked the Past Incarnation Time Master for a suitable Fire Room, and the Time Master granted him access to a newly completed chamber aboard the World Annihilation Spirit Boat.
• Lin Yi prepared the Pure Origin Fire and melted Primordial Spirit Iron, then added red-grade auxiliary materials while using his Artifact Master talent to monitor their fusion.
• Lin Yi shaped and hammered the molten material over ten days until it formed a leaf-shaped shield, which he named the Primordial Shield.
• Lin Yi tested the Primordial Shield with a punch, and it absorbed the blow, reflected part of its force, and left his arm numb.
• The Past Incarnation Time Master watched Lin Yi’s refining process and was astonished by the precision and quality of his work.

After seeing Lin Yi forge a First Material Emperor Artifact, Time Master learned that Lin Yi wanted to create a new artifact-refining method for his Innate Spirit Treasure secret art. He opened his collection of 327 artifact-refining inheritances to help Lin Yi broaden his knowledge.

• Time Master admired Lin Yi’s artifact-refining talent but held back from immediately making him a true disciple, wanting to observe his potential in other areas.
• Lin Yi told Time Master that he had studied Emperor Artifact forging for less than two months and showed him the Nine Returns Heavenly Craft Emperor Artifact Record.
• Lin Yi explained that he was studying Emperor Artifact forging to develop an Innate Spirit Treasure secret art for his Creation Method.
• Time Master recognized that Lin Yi sought to forge artifacts using World Origin and the power of creation, and advised him to study artifact-refining methods from many schools rather than follow one tradition.
• Time Master expanded the Library Pavilion and gave Lin Yi access to 327 artifact-refining inheritances from his collection.

Lin Yi spent more than a hundred years studying artifact-forging inheritances in the past-time Library Pavilion and used what he learned to devise a way to perfect the Innate Spirit Treasure Secret Technique. He prepared to test the method by making Heavenly Essence Condensate into a spirit treasure’s core restrictions.

• Lin Yi immersed himself in the Library Pavilion, mastering hundreds of artifact-forging inheritances while the third Demon Dragon Realm trial grew deadlier for the New Students.
• Three months later, Lin Yi prepared a strand of Heavenly Essence Condensate that the Great Elder had exchanged for twenty thousand Academy Credits.
• Lin Yi drew inspiration from the Essence Condensate Artifact Forging Technique and other inheritances to understand how Heavenly Essence Condensate could serve as more than a material to melt and shape.
• Lin Yi concluded that strands of Heavenly Essence Condensate could be planted inside a spirit treasure as Innate Restrictions, nested into a system that could make it more powerful than an ordinary Emperor Artifact.

Lin Yi successfully planted the Primordial Shield’s first Innate Restriction using Heavenly Essence Condensate, greatly increasing its defensive power and advancing his Innate Spirit Treasure Secret Technique. Several days later, Ji Xu escorted him into the deserted employment trading district aboard the World Annihilation Spirit Boat.

• Lin Yi used the artifact-forging Fire Room and Pure Origin Fire to experiment with fusing Heavenly Essence Condensate into the Primordial Shield.
• After several days of failures, Lin Yi drank his stored Enlightenment Tea and realized he needed to harmonize the Essence Condensate and shield before merging them.
• Lin Yi successfully formed the Primordial Shield’s first Innate Restriction, more than doubling its defensive power.
• Lin Yi concluded that the successful experiment brought his Innate Spirit Treasure Secret Technique halfway toward completion.
• Several days later, Ji Xu led Lin Yi into the otherwise deserted employment trading district, which was closed to outsiders during the third round of trials.

Lin Yi visited the trading district to sell Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pills and replenish his resources. Myriad Treasures Pavilion offered eighty thousand Void Crystal Coins for one pill, and Lin Yi had yet to accept or negotiate.

• Ji Xu led Lin Yi to the trading district and reserved a Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pill for himself.
• Lin Yi ignored Merchant Alliance recruitment offers and went to Myriad Treasures Pavilion to sell a pill.
• Shopkeeper Fang examined Lin Yi's Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pill and consulted the alliance owner.
• Shopkeeper Fang offered to buy the pill for eighty thousand Void Crystal Coins, surprising Lin Yi.

Lin Yi negotiated a long-term partnership with Myriad Treasures Pavilion for his Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pills. The pavilion’s young owner secured exclusive sales rights and promised to supply his materials, while Lin Yi left with three bottles of Indestructible Substance as a gift.

• Lin Yi learned that Shopkeeper Fang’s offer of eighty thousand Void Crystal Coins per Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pill was unusually generous, but he sought better terms for a lasting partnership.
• Lin Yi agreed to buy Myriad Treasures Pavilion’s three bottles of Indestructible Substance and asked for a more favorable pill price in return for prioritizing the pavilion in future sales.
• Shopkeeper Fang invited Lin Yi upstairs to meet the young owner of Myriad Treasures Pavilion, who questioned him about Starfall Academy and his remaining auxiliary ingredients before proposing cooperation.
• Lin Yi and the owner reached a preliminary agreement: the pavilion would supply high-grade Indestructible Substance, receive exclusive rights to sell his pills, and pay five thousand more Void Crystal Coins per pill than Fang’s original offer.
• The owner gave Lin Yi the three bottles of Indestructible Substance as a gift and explained to Shopkeeper Fang that she had called him Senior Brother because she planned to enroll at Starfall Academy.

Lin Yi visited Gu Chaokuang and the mercenary captains, offering to buy their unsold Primordial Spirit Iron at full market price in exchange for their help after they left the World Annihilation Spirit Boat. He later sold ten Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pills for 850,000 Void Crystal Coins.

• Lin Yi found Gu Chaokuang training in the Body Tempering Room and answered his questions about the Ten Realms Body Tempering Method.
• Lin Yi gathered Zhe Yan, Seven-Colored Old Ghost, and the other captains, who explained that Merchant Alliances had refused to buy their Primordial Spirit Iron.
• Lin Yi offered to purchase all their Primordial Spirit Iron at full market price if they agreed to help him with one matter after leaving the World Annihilation Spirit Boat.
• Seven-Colored Old Ghost and the other captains accepted Lin Yi's offer, and Lin Yi said he would return with enough Void Crystal Coins in half a month.
• Lin Yi sold ten Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pills at Myriad Treasures Pavilion and earned 850,000 Void Crystal Coins.

After earning four and a half million Void Crystal Coins from refining Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pills, Lin Yi bought Primordial Spirit Iron and checked on his team’s trial progress. He then returned to studying formations and successfully drew five basic Formation Dao patterns.

• Lin Yi finished refining fifty-eight Nine-Pattern Indestructible Pills, earning a net profit that brought his savings to four and a half million Void Crystal Coins.
• Lin Yi bought four pieces of Primordial Spirit Iron from Zhe Yan, the Seven-Colored Old Ghost, and other mercenary captains for 960,000 Void Crystal Coins.
• Lin Yi contacted Ji Xu and learned that Starfall Academy’s trials were underway, his team was unharmed, and the students were adapting to the Demon Dragon Realm.
• Lin Yi studied formations in the Fire Room and Library Pavilion, using golden talents to improve his formation skills.
• Lin Yi successfully connected five distinct Formation Dao Base Patterns on a Spirit Jade Shard.

Lin Yi designed an Innate Restriction to strengthen the Primordial Shield and sought Heavenly Essence Condensate to build it. The Great Elder secured two strands and collected payment, then took Lin Yi to handle his Academy identity clearance authority.

• Lin Yi devised a nine-restriction design for the Primordial Shield using Heavenly Essence Condensate traits to enhance defense and absorb impact.
• After the Great Elder failed to answer Lin Yi's messages, Lin Yi continued studying Formation patterns until the Great Elder returned from overseeing the Trial.
• The Great Elder reported that the Trial remained under control and that only Elder Jia Wei had Heavenly Essence Condensate available, offering two strands for two hundred thousand Void Crystal Coins each.
• Lin Yi agreed to buy both strands, and the Great Elder collected a total of one and a half million Void Crystal Coins, including Lin Yi's previous debt.
• Lin Yi asked whether the Great Elder could find more Heavenly Essence Condensate, and the Great Elder took him to address his Academy identity clearance authority.

The Great Elder brought Lin Yi to the spirit boat’s central control room and confirmed that he had become the Seven Veins Pulse Son, granting him elder-level authority and priority access to Academy resources. After Lin Yi discovered that his trial rewards and first-place standing had been added to his identity, the Great Elder explained that bonus points for capturing a Marrow-Grinding Spirit had earned him the rewards.

• The Great Elder led Lin Yi into the spirit boat’s core area and told him the Academy had officially named him this year’s Seven Veins Pulse Son.
• The Great Elder guided Lin Yi in updating his identity, revealing his annual Academy Credits allowance and new privileges, including access to the Academy’s internal Trade Network.
• Lin Yi found that his identity included trial points and rewards from the second round, then questioned whether the Great Elder had arranged special treatment for him.
• The Great Elder explained that the Academy had awarded Lin Yi bonus points for capturing the Emperor Realm Marrow-Grinding Spirit, securing his first-place finish and full rewards.

Lin Yi used the Starfall Academy Internal Trade Network to search for Heavenly Essence Condensate needed to upgrade the Primordial Shield, but found the purchase exceeded his available Void Crystal Coins. He then contacted Steward Hu Changchun about a commission to forge a sword-type Emperor Artifact, hoping to trade his materials for resources.

• The Great Elder taught Lin Yi to use the internal trade network before returning to the World Annihilation Spirit Boat.
• Lin Yi logged in with top-tier A permission and searched the network for Heavenly Essence Condensate.
• Lin Yi selected eight portions with the traits needed for the Primordial Shield, but the 2.15 million Void Crystal Coin total was nearly 150,000 more than he had available.
• Lin Yi browsed the Free Trade and Task Commission sections to find a way to preserve his Academy Credits.
• Lin Yi found Steward Hu Changchun's commission for a sword-type Emperor Artifact and privately offered to forge it, citing his artifact-refining skills and guaranteed success rate.

Hu Changchun sought a custom Emperor Artifact from Lin Yi to prepare for his elder promotion mission, agreeing to pay a steep price and rush fee after being promised delivery the next day. Three days later, Hu Changchun arrived at the World Annihilation Spirit Boat to meet Lin Yi, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him at the teleportation deck.

• Hu Changchun reviewed artifact-refining offers and found most were too costly, too slow, or unreliable for his upcoming elder promotion mission.
• Hu Changchun accepted Lin Yi’s offer of an Emperor Artifact for 1.5 million Void Crystal Coins, plus a 200,000-coin rush fee for next-day collection.
• Hu Changchun paid a 450,000-coin deposit and the rush fee, then spent the next three days worrying whether Lin Yi would deliver a suitable artifact.
• Hu Changchun teleported onto the World Annihilation Spirit Boat and hurried toward its core area to find Lin Yi.
• Su Xiaoxiao appeared at the teleportation deck and blocked Hu Changchun’s way.

Lin Yi met Hu Changchun, the executive who had commissioned an Emperor Artifact, and revealed that he was the mysterious Master Lin. After inspecting the finished Gale Sword and finding it highly compatible, Hu Changchun asked to test it at the spirit boat’s trial ground.

• Su Xiaoxiao confirmed that Hu Changchun had permission to board the World Annihilation Spirit Boat and warned him to leave within one day.
• Hu Changchun followed a law enforcement officer to a private room in the dining area, expecting to meet Senior Lin.
• Lin Yi revealed his Emperor Realm aura and confirmed that he was both Senior Lin and the artifact refiner who had accepted Hu Changchun’s commission.
• Lin Yi presented Hu Changchun with the completed Gale Sword and offered to reforge it if anything displeased him.
• Hu Changchun found the sword’s quality and compatibility excellent, agreed to pay the remaining 1.05 million Void Crystal Coins, and asked to test it at Trial Ground No. 3.

Lin Yi used Heavenly Essence Condensate to upgrade the Primordial Shield into a low-grade Spirit Treasure and repaired the Chaos Profound Bell with Primordial Spirit Iron. After failing to find the past Time Master, he returned to studying how to mass-produce Innate Spirit Treasures independently.

• Hu Changchun left with the [Gale Sword] and Lin Yi received the rest of the payment and eight strands of Heavenly Essence Condensate.
• Lin Yi embedded the eight strands into the Primordial Shield, awakening nine Innate Restrictions and raising it to low-grade Spirit Treasure rank.
• Lin Yi tested the Primordial Shield and judged its defense superior to the Chaos Profound Bell, though the bell remained more versatile.
• Lin Yi spent half a month repairing the Chaos Profound Bell by refining it and fusing Primordial Spirit Iron into its palm-print scar.
• Lin Yi searched the World Annihilation Spirit Boat for the past Time Master but found that he was away without a known return date.
• Lin Yi returned to the Library Pavilion to develop a method for using the source power of creation to mass-produce Innate Spirit Treasures.

The Great Elder summoned Lin Yi from seclusion to reinforce the Dragon Realm Secret Realm, promising him Enlightenment Tea as a reward. As the Academy Elders traveled toward the Demon Dragon Realm, Lin Yi revealed his Emperor Realm Indestructible Body and silenced Jia Wei’s criticism.

• The Great Elder found Lin Yi in the Library Pavilion and recruited him to respond to an emergency in the Dragon Realm Secret Realm, offering half a tael of Enlightenment Tea for meritorious service.
• Lin Yi joined the Emperor Realm Elders mobilized from the World Annihilation Spirit Boat, while Su Xiaoxiao stayed behind to guard the vessel with its core formations.
• The Great Elder led Lin Yi and the other Elders through the Tidal Spirit Realm toward the Demon Dragon Realm inside a protective barrier.
• Jia Wei disparaged Lin Yi as an inexperienced burden, and Lin Yi silently resolved to make him suffer if an opportunity arose.
• The Great Elder revealed that Lin Yi had cultivated the Indestructible Body and become the Seven Veins Pulse Son, prompting Lin Yi to demonstrate his Emperor Realm aura.
• Elder Wuxun and the other Elders praised Lin Yi’s unprecedented achievement, while Jia Wei was left embarrassed by his earlier provocation.
