Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi entered the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm during Dreaming Reincarnation, where Emperor Venerable Zhouran tasked him with seeking the War God Palace and gave him a Half-Emperor battle axe. After arriving in a poisonous swamp, Lin Yi destroyed his tracking talisman and set off alone, heading toward a marked Emperor Fruit.

• A black warship brought the Source Realm’s forces to the secret realm entrance, and the stern young man warned that the two factions were mortal enemies.
• Zhouran explained that Lin Yi’s survival skills had earned him a precious secret realm quota and asked him to find the War God Palace in exchange for a chance to become his personal disciple.
• Zhouran gave Lin Yi a Half-Emperor battle axe, and Lin Yi studied its ancient forging patterns while waiting for the secret realm to open.
• Lin Yi entered the secret realm and emerged alone in a poisonous swamp, where he shattered the Contact Talisman rather than let the War Palace track him.
• The stern and silver-patterned young men assumed Yan Ling had died after his talisman went silent, while Lin Yi continued deeper into the swamp, passing guarded treasures and seeking an Emperor Fruit.

Lin Yi ambushed and defeated two Source Realm cultivators in the swamp, then captured Yin San and forced him to reveal the secret realm’s purpose and hidden inheritances. Learning that Ancient Palaces held complete paths to the Great Dao Realm, Lin Yi wondered whether the Source Realm’s future victory over the Heavenly Palace began with finding those paths.

• Lin Yi used Town Law Thunder Fist and his Yin-Yang Qiankun Domain to counter the ambush by Yin San and the Sturdy Body Cultivator, then killed the Sturdy Body Cultivator with Zhouran’s Half-Emperor War Axe.
• Lin Yi broke Yin San’s Shaman staff, captured him, concealed the signs of battle, and evaded the six Source Realm reinforcements heading to claim the Ice Flame Emperor Fruit.
• Lin Yi hid Yin San in an underground cave and used the Blood Guide Heart Inquiry Art to control him and interrogate him about the Source Realm and the secret realm.
• Yin San revealed that the Source Realm sought Emperor Fruits and Ancient Palace inheritances, which could grant Great Dao Techniques or provide complete cultivation paths to the Great Dao Realm.
• Lin Yi connected the Ancient Palace paths to the later difficulty of reaching the Great Dao Realm and suspected that the Source Realm’s discovery of those inheritances might have contributed to the Heavenly Palace’s destruction.

Lin Yi reached the Ice Flame Emperor Fruit and watched the Heavenly Palace Disciples drive off the Source Realm Cultivators with help from a powerful Fire Phoenix Sequencer. After the Fire Phoenix Woman discovered him and questioned his Martial Path Domain, Lin Yi realized its origin might lie in the Heavenly Palace’s ancient inheritances rather than the Ancient Clan.

• Lin Yi killed Yin San, searched his belongings, and found no inheritance manuals or treasures.
• Lin Yi reached the swamp’s center and saw Source Realm Cultivators and hidden Heavenly Palace Disciples gathered around the nearly mature Ice Flame Emperor Fruit.
• The Heavenly Palace Disciples attacked the Source Realm formation, but the Source Realm leader initially forced them back.
• A Fire Phoenix Woman arrived with reinforcements and overwhelmed the Source Realm leader, forcing his group to retreat.
• The Fire Phoenix Woman detected Lin Yi and questioned his identity and Martial Path Domain; Lin Yi claimed an unnamed strange man had taught him the method.
• Lin Yi connected the Martial Path Domain to the Heavenly Palace’s ancient inheritances, while the Fire Phoenix Woman grew suspicious of his unexplained knowledge.

Lin Yi earned Fire Phoenix Woman’s trust by repairing and strengthening the Heavenly Palace’s formation around the Ice Flame Emperor Fruit. When the Source Realm returned with reinforcements and found the Emperor-Grade formation impossible to break safely, they retreated, and Fire Phoenix Woman thanked Lin Yi.

• Fire Phoenix Woman hesitated to attack Lin Yi but ordered him to leave; Lin Yi warned that the Sky Burning Lock Spirit Formation had a flaw caused by the ice vein beneath its western formation eye.
• Lin Yi persuaded Fire Phoenix Woman to let him repair the formation, then used his Domain power to balance its ice and fire energies and strengthen it into an Emperor-Grade defense.
• The Source Realm team returned with more than thirty cultivators, but Chen Shanyun concluded that breaking the improved formation would require a dangerous Boundary Breaking Talisman.
• The Source Realm leader rejected a direct assault and ordered the group to retreat, planning to ambush the Heavenly Palace at the Forbidden Land instead.
• The Heavenly Palace Disciples praised Lin Yi for protecting the Emperor Fruit, and Fire Phoenix Woman thanked him for his help.

After the Ice Flame Emperor Fruit ripened, Lin Yi traveled with Fire Phoenix Woman’s group toward the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone and learned about the Heavenly Palace’s Great Dao inheritances. He discovered that Venerable Taiyi had founded the Source Realm after gaining the World Law inheritance, while questions about Lin Yi’s identity continued to surface.

• The Ice Flame Emperor Fruit ripened, and Fire Phoenix Woman’s group harvested it before leaving the swamp.
• As the group traveled toward the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone, Fire Phoenix Woman explained that the Heavenly Palace had three Great Dao experts who entered the Dao through Sequence Divinity, Mysterious Sound of Heaven and Earth, and the Buddha Path.
• Lin Yi realized that an Emperor Realm Buddha Heart was necessary to master the Six Divine Abilities, and learned that the Buddha Palace allowed anyone with affinity to seek its inheritance.
• Fire Phoenix Woman explained that Palace Master Yan Zhenbei had obtained the Way of Battle inheritance but had not reached the threshold to prove his Dao.
• Lin Yi learned that Venerable Taiyi gained the World Ancient Palace’s complete inheritance, created World Law, defeated the Heavenly Palace’s three Great Dao experts without being overcome, and founded the Source Realm.

Lin Yi and the Heavenly Palace group crossed the Illusory Mist Forest and approached the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone, where ancient spatial restrictions stretched the distance to its entrance. They found the remains of Beast Palace disciples and suspected the corpses might conceal an Ice Flame Emperor Fruit, but the Fire Phoenix Woman hesitated to disturb them.

• The Fire Phoenix Woman warned Lin Yi that the Illusory Mist Forest's white mist blocked detection and caused hallucinations, then distributed Clear Heart Pills to the group.
• Lin Yi used his domain to sense nearby movement as the group carefully crossed the forest, avoiding traps and poisonous vines over the course of a day.
• The group reached the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone's canyon entrance and used the Inverted Four Elements Formation for protection while approaching through space stretched by ancient restrictions.
• Lin Yi identified and studied spatial formation patterns hidden along the route, then the group found Beast Palace corpses around a giant three-headed beast skeleton.
• A Heavenly Palace Disciple recalled that the Beast Palace had once seized an Ice Flame Emperor Fruit, prompting the group to suspect one might be hidden among the remains and urge the Fire Phoenix Woman to dig them up.

Lin Yi and the Heavenly Palace disciples discovered a second Ice Flame Emperor Fruit, but disturbing the buried Beast Palace remains amplified their greed and released invisible creatures. As the creatures attacked, Fire Phoenix Woman recognized them as Ancient Strange Gu.

• Fire Phoenix Woman allowed the disciples to dig up the Beast Palace remains, and they found a sealed Brass Iron Box containing two Ice Flame Emperor Fruits.
• The disciples argued over who should receive the fruits, but Lin Yi warned that something was amplifying their desires after they disturbed the remains.
• Fire Phoenix Woman gave the box to Lin Yi to safeguard, and the group hurried away from the burial site.
• The buried bones collapsed behind them, and an invisible force devoured a Body Cultivator disciple's flesh and blood.
• Fire Phoenix Woman transformed into her Fire Phoenix form and tried to hold off the creatures, but they shattered her protective inscription.
• Fire Phoenix Woman spotted countless tiny black specks gnawing at the inscription and identified them as Ancient Strange Gu.

Lin Yi rescued the weakened Fire Phoenix Woman from the Ancient Strange Gu swarm and helped her escape by joining forces with her. They reached the entrance to the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone, where they prepared to enter through a gate of red-and-white energy.

• Lin Yi used the Half-Emperor War Axe and the Heaven and Earth Great Mill to break through the Ancient Strange Gu swarm and rescue the Fire Phoenix Woman.
• The Fire Phoenix Woman warned Lin Yi that a Gu King controlled the pursuing swarm, and she used her protective inscriptions to shield them as they fled.
• The Fire Phoenix Woman transformed into a Fire Phoenix and used the Sea of Fire Transformation Rainbow Technique to carry them beyond the swarm and the secret realm's spatial restriction.
• After recovering in a valley, Lin Yi and the Fire Phoenix Woman headed toward the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone's entrance, with Lin Yi's domain and her Phoenix True Fire shielding them from the clashing energies.
• The Fire Phoenix Woman pointed out the red-and-white energy gate that served as the passage into the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone.

Lin Yi and the Fire Phoenix Woman refined their Ice Flame Emperor Fruits and entered the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone to seek the Great Dao Technique. Outside, the battered Heavenly Palace Disciples arrived too late to meet them and spotted a mysterious palace floating in the distance.

• After the Heavenly Palace Disciples failed to arrive, the Fire Phoenix Woman gave Lin Yi an Ice Flame Emperor Fruit and taught him Heavenly Palace’s secret refining technique.
• Lin Yi refined the Emperor Fruit with the Yin-Yang Qiankun Domain’s help, forming a divine ability that opened the forbidden zone’s barrier.
• The Fire Phoenix Woman refined her Emperor Fruit while Lin Yi guarded her, and the two entered the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone at dawn.
• The Heavenly Palace Disciples escaped the Blood Swallowing Spirit Devouring Gu and a half-Emperor Realm Mountain-Splitter Bear, but lost three companions and their way.
• After their Contact Talismans failed, the disciples decided to head for the forbidden zone entrance and then noticed a mysterious Ancient Palace floating in the air.

After leaving the Ice Fire Forbidden Zone, Lin Yi and the Fire Phoenix Woman gained different Great Dao Techniques and rushed to the newly emerged Battle Ancient Palace. They reached Liu Can’s camp, where Man Xi demanded the Ice Flame Emperor Fruit, and the Fire Phoenix Woman planned to send Lin Yi into the palace to claim its complete inheritance.

• Lin Yi formed Ice Flame Fire while the Fire Phoenix Woman comprehended Ice Flame Transformation, and they emerged from the forbidden zone.
• The Fire Phoenix Woman found Liu Can’s Hidden Talisman reporting that the Battle Ancient Palace had appeared, and she and Lin Yi hurried to the plain.
• They arrived at Liu Can’s camp, where Man Xi demanded the second Ice Flame Emperor Fruit and the Fire Phoenix Woman drove him off.
• Liu Can told them the palace had remained unopened behind an impenetrable barrier while rival factions gathered around it.
• The Fire Phoenix Woman explained that someone who controlled the Martial Path Domain could enter the palace and told Lin Yi to prepare to claim its complete inheritance.

Lin Yi and the Fire Phoenix Woman tried to reach the Battle Ancient Palace before the Source Realm could claim its inheritance, but enemies delayed them and Man Xi prevented Heavenly Palace Disciples from helping. Lin Yi broke through the Heaven-Trapping Sword Array and resumed his advance toward the palace.

• The Fire Phoenix Woman transformed into a Crystal Ice Phoenix and shielded Lin Yi as he charged toward the Battle Ancient Palace, repelling attacks from rival factions.
• Lin Yi struck down a Prodigy in Mystic Black Spirit Armor with his Ice Flame Fire, frightening the minor-faction Prodigies away from his path.
• Five Source Realm Cultivators formed the Heaven-Trapping Sword Array and suppressed Lin Yi's Martial Path Domain while other Prodigies held the Fire Phoenix Woman back.
• Liu Can urged the Heavenly Palace Disciples to help, but Man Xi blocked the formation gate and threatened anyone who tried to leave the Camp.
• Lin Yi wounded the leader of the sword formation with Ice Flame Fire, then used the Heaven and Earth Great Mill to break the formation with three strikes.

Lin Yi entered the Battle Ancient Palace and faced a one-hour trial to inscribe his battle path techniques on its walls. He created forty-nine techniques, including an Emperor Realm battle art, and the Palace Spirit praised his unprecedented foundation and creativity.

• Lin Yi used his Martial Path Domain to enter the Battle Ancient Palace, while the barrier blocked the Source Realm cultivators pursuing him.
• On the palace’s first floor, Lin Yi learned from the Palace Spirit that he had one hour to inscribe battle path techniques or be expelled forever.
• Lin Yi inscribed new techniques, including the red-grade Blazing Sun Saber Technique, Circulatory Transformation, and the Emperor Realm Heaven and Earth Finger.
• After creating more red-grade techniques, Lin Yi filled the wall with forty-nine inscriptions, including Gold Grade arts for combat, movement, beast-taming, sound, and illusion.
• The Palace Spirit praised Lin Yi’s battle path foundation and ability to create and integrate techniques, then acknowledged that no previous entrant had filled a wall in an hour.

Lin Yi exchanged trial points at the War Stele for the complete Emperor Realm War Dao inheritance and a method for proving the Great Dao, learning how War Domain Manifesting World surpassed ordinary domains. After memorizing the inheritance, he asked the Palace Spirit about powerful battle arts preserved by the stele.

• Lin Yi learned that techniques he had mastered before entering the War Hall could not earn more trial points, so he asked the Palace Spirit to send him onward.
• Lin Yi arrived before a black Stone Stele, where the Palace Spirit allowed him to seek inheritances in exchange for trial points.
• Lin Yi examined a domain-condensing inheritance, then spent one hundred points to obtain the complete Emperor Realm inheritance and Dao-Proving Method.
• Lin Yi learned that the Indestructible War Dao Method developed a domain into War Domain Manifesting World and that the future Indestructible Martial Saint Path had likely borrowed from it.
• Lin Yi studied the War Method to Prove Dao and realized that a Dao's continued existence and transmission might affect the strength of a Great Dao Realm expert.
• Lin Yi asked the Palace Spirit whether the stele held other valuable inheritances, and the Palace Spirit described supreme battle arts that could greatly increase his strength.

Lin Yi exchanged his remaining trial points for the Battle Heaven Fight Earth Method, then returned from the dream and tried several more lives before repeated deaths forced him to stop. He visited the Archive Pavilion to research the Source Realm and Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, but found little useful information and noticed the keeper writing at his desk.

• Lin Yi spent his forty-nine trial points on the Battle Heaven Fight Earth Method and learned that the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm’s Ancient Palaces could revive when their Dao-provers advanced to the Dao Departure Realm or suffered Dao Fall.
• The Palace Spirit expelled Lin Yi from the dream, returning him to his Seclusion Chamber, where he reviewed his gains and realized he could not use Ice Flame Fire without its Divine Ability Imprint.
• Lin Yi entered another dream as a three-inch beast, but an Emperor Realm beast lord killed him and his clan; several further dreams ended in swift deaths, leaving his soul too shaken to continue.
• Lin Yi took a Mind-Calming Emperor Pill and flew to the Archive Pavilion to investigate the origins of the Source Realm and the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.
• Lin Yi read the available books but found their records vague, incomplete, or trivial, then noticed the pavilion keeper recording something on spirit paper.

Lin Yi examined an elderly librarian’s Chronicle and learned that the man had staged their meeting to seek guidance for a talented relative. The librarian offered him a translated ancient record instead, and its account of the Realm Devouring Art revealed how the Heavenly Palace’s final collapse had been set in motion.

• Lin Yi read the librarian’s Chronicle of Starfall City and challenged its uncertain dating and one-sided account of the White Tiger Captain.
• The librarian admitted he had tried to attract Lin Yi’s attention so he could ask him to guide his talented younger relative.
• The librarian offered Lin Yi a translated record from ancient ruins in Taiyi City in exchange for a chance for the relative to become Lin Yi’s disciple.
• Lin Yi read that Venerable Taiyi had founded the Source Realm after seizing a Dao-Proving Method from the Heavenly Palace and defeating three Great Dao Realm experts.
• The record described how the Lord of the Realm Palace created the Realm Devouring Art after losing his chance to prove the Great Dao, then spread the World Law to create a supply of World Spirit-bearing prodigies.
• The Lord of the Realm Palace secretly abducted those prodigies and plundered their World Origins, provoking a revolt that helped bring about the Heavenly Palace’s destruction.

Lin Yi investigated Zhao Shanyuan’s mysterious adopted granddaughter and discovered that the little girl possessed power far beyond her apparent age. She trapped Lin Yi in the courtyard and asked him to arrange a legitimate identity and a quota for the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm in exchange for ten Chaos Particles, but he remained wary of her unknown purpose.

• Lin Yi verified Zhao Shanyuan’s identity and learned that his adopted granddaughter had an unusual illness and innate Four-Star Profession cultivation.
• Lin Yi followed Zhao Shanyuan to a courtyard, where the little girl revealed a powerful aura and spoke to him with the wisdom of an ancient being.
• The little girl hypnotized Zhao Shanyuan and sealed the courtyard, blocking Lin Yi’s attack with a Space Barrier and cutting off his communication with the outside.
• The little girl asked Lin Yi to give her a legitimate identity and a quota for the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, offering ten Chaos Particles in return.
• Lin Yi refused to agree without knowing her origins and purpose, and the little girl warned that the secrets involved could endanger him.

Lin Yi negotiated with a mysterious little girl who wanted his help entering the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, securing Chaos Particles and a Kunpeng True Spirit in exchange. After she attached herself to his wrist, Lin Yi began bargaining for separate payment to gather more secret-realm information, while the girl reconsidered whether she could control him.

• Lin Yi agreed to help the little girl enter the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm in exchange for more than ten Chaos Particles and a Kunpeng True Spirit, but she attached herself to his wrist as a Flying Bird Brand to ensure his cooperation.
• The little girl erased Zhao Shanyuan's memories of meeting her and Lin Yi, while Lin Yi returned to the White Tiger Captain Steward's Residence.
• Lin Yi demanded payment before gathering secret-realm information, and the little girl gave him five Chaos Particles plus one more as separate compensation.
• The little girl found Lin Yi's available Spirit Scrolls superficial and useless, but Lin Yi refused to provide more information without a higher price.
• Lin Yi challenged the little girl to seek help from the Venus Tower Master instead, leaving her silent as she reconsidered her choice of collaborator.

Lin Yi negotiated with the mysterious little girl, who demanded he investigate the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm and search for evidence of a White Fairy Stone Statue. He gathered information from Starfall Academy elders and Zhou Bo, then discovered he already had a Destiny Merchant Alliance Token that could help him uncover the Secret Realm’s core secrets.

• Lin Yi failed to persuade the little girl to leave his body, but agreed to gather information about the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm in exchange for her cooperation.
• The little girl revealed that the Heavenly Palace’s surviving forces had fled into the Secret Realm and asked Lin Yi to find a complete map and evidence that anyone had brought out a White Fairy Stone Statue.
• Lin Yi asked Su Xiaoxiao about the Secret Realm, received an Academy map covering most of it, and noticed it omitted locations he had visited in Dreaming Reincarnation.
• Lin Yi collected the Bloodline Tracing Fruit owed to him by Zhou Bo and asked him about the Secret Realm; Zhou Bo suggested consulting the secretive Destiny Merchant Alliance.
• Lin Yi showed Zhou Bo a black Destiny Token he had received from the Great Elder, then departed to use it to seek information.

Lin Yi learned from Gu Hanshuang that the Gu Family was decaying under unfair rules and that its ancestor had once challenged Starfall City's City Lord. The mysterious little girl revealed that the ancestor had defected from the Heavenly Palace to the Source Realm, then Lin Yi asked her to identify the City Lord.

• Lin Yi obtained two Heavenly Palace Secret Realm tokens from Gu Hanshuang and questioned him about the Gu Family.
• Gu Hanshuang reviewed Lin Yi's Starfall City Chronicle and said the Gu Family ancestor had competed for the City Lord position before the city was founded, according to the clan's records.
• Lin Yi revealed that he had learned the Yin-Yang Qiankun Domain from Gu Xianhe's legacy, and Gu Hanshuang said the clan was unlikely to retaliate against him over it.
• The mysterious little girl admitted she had fought in the Heavenly Palace Fall War and described how the Source Realm ultimately defeated the Heavenly Palace.
• The little girl said the Gu Family ancestor had been a Heavenly Palace Emperor Venerable who defected to the Source Realm, possibly from the War Palace.
• Lin Yi asked the little girl who Starfall City's City Lord was.

Lin Yi used his new authority as White Tiger Captain Steward to bargain with the Destiny Merchant Alliance for detailed information about the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm. The records revealed no trace of the White Fairy Stone Statue, and comparing the current map with his memory of the realm from ten million years ago left him baffled by how completely it had changed.

• The little girl explained that Starfall City's City Lord had weakened his presence so thoroughly that even his friends forgot him, and Lin Yi asked the Destiny Merchant Alliance for a secret realm map and records of unusual items brought out by past trial participants.
• When the Alliance quoted 5.8 million Void Crystal Coins, Lin Yi revealed his identity as White Tiger Captain Steward and secured both pieces of information for 100,000 coins.
• Yan Hui delivered the encrypted Spirit Scroll, which listed the secret realm's terrain, three ancient Forbidden Lands, participating factions and Prodigies, and seven unusual objects recovered over the past million years, but no White Fairy Stone Statue.
• Yan Hui offered the information as a gift, and Lin Yi recognized that he was likely one of the Merchant Alliances' insiders among the White Tiger Captains.
• The little girl warned Lin Yi not to speak the name of the powerful being she feared, and he then compared the current secret realm map with his memory of it from ten million years earlier.
• Lin Yi found that the maps showed entirely different landscapes and Forbidden Land locations, with no trace of the Illusory Mist Forest or the swamp region he remembered.
