Chapter Summaries

Yuan Magnetism Rail Man uncovered Yun Shao’s attempt to destroy the Yuan Magnetic Palace, escaped Mage Xianyu’s suspicion, and discovered that the palace seemed strangely empty. Meanwhile, Xiang Sili and Rui Chunqiu found an unusual fruit tree in the mountains, while Qin Lingxiao reached the being who had called to her.

• Yun Shao tried to unleash Restriction-Breaking Pearls inside the Yuan Magnetic Palace, but Mage Xianyu suppressed them and exposed her collusion with the Nine Great Families.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man revealed that he had anticipated Yun Shao’s betrayal, then escaped Mage Xianyu’s attempted soul search by using a spell.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man wondered whether the Yuan Magnetic Palace had become an empty shell and considered seeking leads from Qin Lingxiao, Xiang Sili, and Rui Chunqiu.
• Xiang Sili used formation flags to guide Rui Chunqiu through the fog-shrouded mountains, and they discovered a lotus pond with a tree bearing one red fruit and one withered black fruit.
• Qin Lingxiao reached the vast limestone cavern and saw the owner of the voice that had summoned her.

At the Extreme Southern Wind Cave, Qin Lingxiao learned that the Little Cang Realm was consuming its own inhabitants and was offered the Yuan Magnetic Palace’s legacy. Meanwhile, the Nine Great Families attacked the weakened Yuan Magnetic Palace, until an unseen assailant killed a Saint Mage and a strange fruit tree appeared above the palace.

• The old woman explained to Qin Lingxiao that the Extreme Southern Wind Cave was the Little Cang Realm’s umbilical opening, where corrosive power arose as the realm tried to survive, and that she and generations of Yuan Magnetic Palace disciples guarded it.
• The old woman told Qin Lingxiao she was suited to inherit the palace’s legacy, but said its treasure was nearing maturity before an approaching disturbance interrupted them.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man concealed himself as Mage Shan fled to the Yuan Magnetic Palace, where a Saint Mage from the Nine Great Families killed her and Mage Xianyu exposed Yun Shao’s role in the attack.
• The Nine Great Families deployed the Azure-Sky Void-Breaking Formation, weakening the palace’s defenses, while Yuchi Shu, Yuchi Lian, and Yuchi Xi struggled to counter them.
• An unseen attacker killed Sikou Cheng with a burst of sound, and the Three Saints sensed the earth veins changing before a lotus pond and strange fruit tree appeared above the Yuan Magnetic Palace.

Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sili were trapped inside the lotus pond as the Dao Xuan Sacred Fruit appeared above the Yuan Magnetic Palace, where the Nine Great Families used a hidden plan to destroy the palace’s formation and expose its Three Saints to tribulation lightning. Meanwhile, the old woman told Qin Lingxiao that she wanted her to eat the fruit’s yang variety, which would banish her from the Little Cang Realm.

• Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sili tried to approach the lotus pond’s fruit tree, then hid when they sensed seven Spirit Transformation cultivators nearby.
• The Dao Xuan Sacred Fruit appeared above the Yuan Magnetic Palace, drawing the Nine Great Families’ Saint Mages and the Three Saints of Yuan Magnetism.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man warned the Three Saints to discard the Azure-Sky Void-Breaking Formation flag, but the flag exploded before Yuchi Shu could act.
• The Nine Great Families’ Saint Mages broke the Yuan Magnetic Palace’s formation, leaving the Three Saints exposed to tribulation lightning as they searched for the mysterious attacker.
• The old woman explained the Dao Xuan Sacred Fruit’s yin and yang effects to Qin Lingxiao, then told her to eat the yang fruit.

Yuchi Shu and Yuchi Lian broke the Nine Great Families’ formation, but tribulation lightning interrupted their attack and left them badly injured. Yuan Magnetism Rail Man rescued Xianyu Hu and the other disciples, then learned that Palace Master Wuhen might be descended from Yu Chen.

• Yuchi Lian attacked the seven Saint Mages, and Yuchi Shu joined her after Yuchi Xi fled south; together, the sisters shattered the Azure-Sky Void-Breaking Formation.
• Yuchi Shu and Yuchi Lian pulled the eight Saint Mages together and struck at them, but tribulation lightning halted their attack and forced the sisters to face their tribulation.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man considered intervening as the sisters were injured, then decided to preserve the Yuan Magnetic Palace’s legacy by rescuing Xianyu Hu and the other disciples.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man told Xianyu Hu that the Three Saints were certain to die and urged the disciples to survive; he explained that he had learned the Yuan Magnetism Secret Method from Yu Chen’s legacy.
• One disciple recalled that the former Palace Master’s secular surname was Yu, leading Yuan Magnetism Rail Man to suspect that Palace Master Wuhen was Yu Chen’s descendant.

The old woman revealed her connection to Yu Chen and seized control of Qin Lingxiao, but learning that Yu Chen had died softened her fury. Qin Lingxiao then emerged under the old woman's power as the battle over the Dao Xuan Sacred Fruit reached a turning point, and the Yuan Magnetic Palace's Saints recognized her as Blood Sea Old Mother.

• The old woman explained the Yang Fruit and revealed that Yu Wuhen had been the last person to take one, then flew into a rage when Qin Lingxiao mentioned Yu Chen.
• The old woman shrank Qin Lingxiao, demanded to know Yu Chen's whereabouts, and planned to make her guard the cavern until her child returned.
• Qin Lingxiao told the old woman that Yu Chen had died long ago and described finding his corpse; the old woman grieved over their lost years and asked about Qin Lingxiao's companion.
• The old woman took control of Qin Lingxiao's body and sent her toward the Yuan Magnetic Palace, while Yuan Magnetism Rail Man led Xianyu Hu and the others north past Di Wufei.
• Yuchi Xi appeared in the lotus pond, struck down two Saint Mages and fatally drew the Tribulation Lightning, while Xiang Sili and Rui Chunqiu escaped with the Dao Xuan Sacred Fruits.
• Qin Lingxiao intercepted Xiang Sili and Rui Chunqiu, took the fruits, and shielded the Yuan Magnetic Palace's two Saints with blood-colored formations; they recognized her as Blood Sea Old Mother.

Li Yuehua possessed Qin Lingxiao, defeated the Nine Great Families’ Saint Mages, and reunited with Yu Chen’s body and fading remnant soul. After his final farewell, she took the Yuan Magnetism Rail Man and Qin Lingxiao to the Extreme Southern Wind Cave, explained how the Yuan Magnetism Calamity could be resolved, and offered them two Dao Xuan Sacred Fruits, leaving Qin Lingxiao to choose.

• Li Yuehua, possessing Qin Lingxiao, drew back the five fleeing Saint Mages and captured their primordial spirits.
• The Yuan Magnetism Rail Man called Li Yuehua “Master’s Wife” and gave her Yu Chen’s stored belongings and body.
• Yu Chen’s remnant soul emerged, reunited with Li Yuehua, and faded away with his body after they said goodbye.
• Li Yuehua restored the Yuan Magnetic Palace’s formation and brought the Yuan Magnetism Rail Man and Qin Lingxiao to the Extreme Southern Wind Cave.
• Li Yuehua explained that the Yuan Magnetism Calamity could be resolved through Void Refinement or by using a Dao Xuan Sacred Fruit, then offered them a red fruit and a black fruit.
• Qin Lingxiao stepped forward and reached for one of the fruits after Li Yuehua asked which she would choose.

Qin Lingxiao and Yuan Magnetism Rail Man learned that the old woman had deceived them about the fruits and gave Qin Lingxiao an inheritance before preparing to enter the perilous cave. The old woman raised Zhongsheng Continent from the sea, entrusted the two to the Two Saints of Yuan Magnetism, and swallowed the Yang Fruit as she entered the cave.

• The old woman explained the Yin and Yang Fruits, and Yuan Magnetism Rail Man took the Yin Fruit for himself, but she revealed that she had lied and gave them a spell to repair the Yuan Magnetism True Membrane Eye.
• The old woman accepted Qin Lingxiao as her disciple and passed her a more complete Yuan Magnetic inheritance, then told her that her daughter Yu Wuhen had left after consuming the Yang Fruit.
• The old woman sealed much of the cave with a formation made from Primordial Spirits, including the captured Saint Mages, and possessed Yuan Magnetism Rail Man to demonstrate the yuan magnetic Dao.
• The old woman raised Zhongsheng Continent three thousand feet above the sea, then removed Yuan Magnetism Rail Man and Qin Lingxiao's Divine Souls from their bodies and sent the bodies to the Two Saints of Yuan Magnetism for protection.
• The old woman returned to the Extreme Southern Wind Cave, swallowed the Yang Fruit, and charged into the cave.

Li Yuehua took Yuan Magnetism Rail Man and Qin Lingxiao through the Little Cang Realm’s umbilical passage, where she peeled away diseased black membranes before ascending and showing them the Realm from beyond. The stars and worlds inspired Wang Ba to record a Star Map, while Mother God’s forces prepared a strategy against Yang Que.

• Li Yuehua tore black membranes from several corrosive patches in the passage, explaining that the Will of Heaven and Earth would eventually regrow them.
• At the passage’s vast end, Li Yuehua ripped away a massive diseased membrane as the Yang Fruit took effect, then showed Yuan Magnetism Rail Man and Qin Lingxiao the Little Cang Realm and the distant stars.
• Mother God questioned Yin God about Yang Que’s power under the Dragon Transformation Pool, and Longevity God proposed feigning defeat to lure Great Sui’s forces away from its protection.
• Wang Ba saw the Little Cang Realm and a sea of stars in his mind, halted his imminent breakthrough, and used most of his Yin Spirit Power to engrave a Star Map of three hundred and sixty-five stars.

Wang Ba reproduced a taxing Zhou Tian Stars Diagram and began breaking through toward the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, while Li Yuehua faced an ascension tribulation outside the realm. Yuan Magnetism Rail Man returned to Zhongsheng Continent, where Qin Lingxiao became Palace Master of the Yuan Magnetic Palace and stayed behind; meanwhile, the Emperor of Sui unified Emperor Pole Continent and announced a campaign against the Primordial Demon Sect.

• Wang Ba created the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram from his observations and let the Law Power in his Nascent Soul attack the Nascent Soul Middle Stage threshold.
• Li Yuehua sent Yuan Magnetism Rail Man and Qin Lingxiao back to the Little Cang Realm before facing the Boundary Sea’s ascension tribulation, as a giant World Eater lunged toward her.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man awoke in the Yuan Magnetic Palace, told Yuchi Lian that Li Yuehua was his master’s wife, and watched Qin Lingxiao accept the Palace Master position.
• Qin Lingxiao gave Yuan Magnetism Rail Man a jade slip containing improvements to the Yuan Magnetic True Method and the damaged Azure-Sky Void-Breaking Formation flags, then stayed behind as he departed with Xiang Sili and Rui Chunqiu.
• The Emperor of Sui defeated the remaining Evil Gods on Emperor Pole Continent, completed its unification, and declared that he would lead a campaign against the Primordial Demon Sect on Wind-Approaching Continent.

The Three Sects and One Clan agreed to join Wang Ba in eliminating the Yuan Magnetism Calamity after he offered a way to make up the shortage of Nascent Soul cultivators. As the Yuan Magnetism Rail Man prepared to lead the effort, Wang Ba discovered the Wu Ape King had reached a breakthrough, while ships approached Wind-Approaching Continent from the east.

• The Yuan Magnetism Rail Man told the leaders gathered at Pure Yang Palace that eliminating the Yuan Magnetism True Membrane Eyes would require at least nine hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, far more than the Great Jin factions could provide.
• Xiang Sili explained that Zhongsheng Continent could support early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivators but lacked the Spiritual Qi and resources needed to relocate the sects, so Jiying directed everyone to focus on the calamity in the West Sea Kingdom.
• After Qu Shentong received Wang Ba's message, he promised the missing three hundred cultivators and secured agreement to leave one Yuan Magnetism True Membrane Eye for Wang Ba's cultivation; the factions planned to depart for the West Sea Kingdom in ten days.
• The Yuan Magnetism Rail Man returned to Wang Ba with the Yin Fruit and other items, then told him that his growing Dao Intent made Spirit Transformation imminent and merging back into Wang Ba unlikely.
• Wang Ba sent the Yuan Magnetism Rail Man off with repaired formation flags and spirit beasts, then sensed the Wu Ape King break through as golden Buddha light and Buddhist chanting filled the Bead Secret Realm.
• Ships bearing dragon flags approached the eastern coast of Wind-Approaching Continent.

Wang Ba advanced to the Nascent Soul middle stage while Qu Shentong and most of the sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators departed for the Eightfold Sea. Meanwhile, Yang Que reached Wind-Approaching Continent and decided to attack Great Jin first, while Han Yanzi secretly drained a Blood Qilin as ships from Emperor Pole Continent passed overhead.

• Qu Shentong left Wang Ba in charge of the sect, withdrew most of its Nascent Soul cultivators, and warned him to switch the protective formation to the spirit veins if necessary.
• Wang Ba broke through to the Nascent Soul middle stage, strengthening his Yin God position as Ice Daoist refined the Bead Secret Realm’s incense power.
• Yang Que summoned Qian Baimao, questioned him about Great Jin and Great Yan, and learned that Qian Baimao’s words concealed another purpose.
• Yang Que and the Golden-Haired Old Man decided to keep Qian Baimao in place and attack Great Jin before turning north to conquer Great Yan.
• Han Yanzi drained a Blood Qilin in a hidden formation as Yang Que’s ships passed overhead, and Yang Que identified the Myriad Phenomena Sect as his likely first target.

Ji Lan escaped an invasion force from the Emperor Pole Continent after its attackers killed Junior Brother Gao, then learned the force planned to conquer Great Jin. Yang Que and Mei Shan led the fleet to the Myriad Phenomena Sect, where a wooden staff shattered Mei Shan’s hammer and killed several attackers, leaving the invaders facing an unexpected defender.

• Ji Lan and Junior Brother Gao discussed the Eastern Saint Sect’s leadership struggle before an unseen force attacked them and killed Junior Brother Gao.
• Ji Lan escaped through successive Teleportation Arrays, recognized the Dragon Transformation Pool accompanying the invading fleet, and tried unsuccessfully to contact the Venerable Lord.
• Mei Shan reported Great Jin’s Three Sects and One Clan to Yang Que, and the two discussed their plan to conquer the region, beginning with the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
• Mei Shan attacked the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s mountain gate with a heavy hammer, but a wooden staff shattered it and blasted apart several Nascent Soul Cultivators.
• A voice from deep within the Myriad Phenomena Sect told the invaders that they had taken the wrong way.

The Myriad Phenomena Sect faced an invading army of nearly a thousand Nascent Soul Cultivators from Great Sui, while Wang Ba kept himself and Jiying hidden to avoid revealing their strength. A small ape transformed into a terrifying three-headed, six-armed demon and crushed the attackers’ champions, leaving it confronting Yang Que and the Great Sui fleet.

• Ma Shengxu saw hundreds of Great Sui ships outside the Sect and, after Wang Qingyang explained they had come to conquer Great Jin, went to reassure the panicked disciples.
• A wooden staff shattered the attackers’ hammer before it could destroy the mountain gate, and the Protective Sect Grand Formation concealed the Sect.
• Wang Ba told Jiying to stay hidden because Myriad Gods Kingdom agents might be among the invaders, and he decided not to recall Qu Shentong from the West Sea Kingdom.
• Mei Shan announced Great Sui’s demand for surrender and ordered six Nascent Soul Cultivators to capture the small ape while the fleet prepared its God-Breaking Crossbows.
• The ape grew into a three-headed, six-armed Demonic Ape, seized four attackers, crushed them, regenerated a severed head, and turned aside Marquis Tianbo’s attacks with Buddhist light.
• The Demonic Ape killed Marquis Tianbo with a golden Buddha’s hand as Yang Que arrived too late to save him, then warned the Great Sui fleet that it had taken the wrong path.

The Wu Ape King unleashed Law of Heaven and Earth against Yang Que’s forces, but Yang Que used the Dragon Transformation Pool to suppress it and continued toward the Myriad Phenomena Sect. Wang Ba finally appeared and trapped Yang Que in an illusion, then wondered what to do with him.

• The Wu Ape King resisted volleys of God-Breaking Crossbow bolts until Yang Que used the Dragon Transformation Pool to weaken it.
• The Wu Ape King transformed to enormous size, scattered the Emperor Pole Continent fleet, and struck Yang Que before the Dragon Transformation Pool pressed it down.
• Yang Que entered the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s formation, believing its defenders could not stop him.
• Wang Ba appeared behind Yang Que and cast him into an illusion before he could attack.
• Wang Ba noted that he had recently become a Third-Rank God and wondered what to do with Yang Que.

Yang Que fled the Myriad Phenomena Sect after encountering something that terrified him, while Wang Ba used the sect’s formation to capture the Great Sui force and deter outside observers. Han Yanzi weighed his next moves, and Yang Que turned toward Northern Great Yan to investigate the True Martial Practitioners.

• The Dragon Transformation Pool nearly captured the Demonic Ape, but Yang Que stumbled out of the Myriad Phenomena Sect in terror and ordered Great Sui’s forces to retreat.
• A mysterious force swept the fleeing Great Sui cultivators and the Demonic Ape into the sect’s formation, leaving Yang Que and the Golden-Haired Old Man alive; Yang Que vowed to leave Great Jin and never return.
• Han Yanzi learned that Wang Xu led the increasingly powerful True Martial Practitioners, ordered Shen Fu to bury the drained Blood Qilin, and considered recruiting Wang Xu.
• The Mother God and her allies discussed attacking Emperor Pole Continent but chose to wait for the Yin God’s return and report.
• Wang Ba explained that he had captured the Great Sui cultivators to weaken Yang Que’s forces and demonstrate the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s strength to Han Yanzi and the Myriad Gods Kingdom.
• Yang Que and the Golden-Haired Old Man left the Primordial Demon Sect to investigate the True Martial Practitioners, though Yang Que insisted they return to Great Sui soon.

Yuan Magnetism Rail Man organized the Three Sects and One Clan to contain the Yuan Magnetism Calamity in the Eightfold Sea while he investigated its core. As the calamity threatened to erupt, news arrived that Wang Ba had defeated Yang Que and captured the invading force, and a mysterious old man began investigating a separate cultivator from Emperor Pole Continent.

• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man assigned the Longevity Sect, Myriad Phenomena Sect, Wandering Immortal Temple, and Qin Clan to isolate the Eightfold Sea and clear the surrounding regions in stages.
• Qu Shentong revealed three hundred powerful spirit chickens and spirit turtles, which used the method Wang Ba had taught them to neutralize yuan magnetic power.
• Qu Shentong asked An Changshou to help build Daoist Grounds with the Undying Treasure Tree, but An Changshou said the Longevity Sect remained reluctant to provide it.
• At a later meeting, Lin Yi reported that Wang Ba had defeated the Emperor Pole Continent invaders outside the Myriad Phenomena Sect, captured over a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators, and subdued Yang Que.
• Xumi warned that the Yuan Magnetism was about to erupt deep in the Eightfold Sea, so Qu Shentong and the others ordered an immediate retreat.
• In Great Yan, an old man destroyed a Nascent Soul phantom that reported being robbed and abducted by a cultivator from Emperor Pole Continent, then vanished to investigate.

Yang Que discovered that the True Martial Dao could let mortals unleash deadly power and decided to find its Ancestor, despite the Golden-Haired Old Man’s warning. Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul cultivators at the Eightfold Sea saw a World Eater emerge from the Sea Barrier while Yuan Magnetism Rail Friend remained missing.

• Yang Que and the Golden-Haired Old Man examined villagers pinned in the snow, and Yang Que dismissed the True Martial Practitioners as weak while ordering the villagers killed.
• A middle-aged villager offered the True Martial Sutra and then revealed that the Ancestor of True Martial was nearby, but a Demon Sect cultivator killed his son.
• The grief-stricken middle-aged man erupted with blood Qi and briefly struck a Nascent Soul cultivator before the cultivator killed him.
• Yang Que read the villagers’ memories, learned that the Ancestor was out at sea, and flew north to seek him despite the Golden-Haired Old Man’s warning.
• At the Eightfold Sea, Xumi and the other Nascent Soul cultivators witnessed a violent Yuan Magnetism Turmoil and spotted a dark shape inside the Sea Barrier.
• Xumi identified the shape as a World Eater rather than the Yanzhi Tribe’s Sacred Ox and urged everyone to retreat.

Yang Que attacked the bronze city in the North Sea to draw out the Ancestor of True Martial and recruit him for his ambitions. The Ancestor exposed Yang Que’s role in the assault and fought him, while Dragon Transformation High Person failed to respond; half a day later, another elder sensed that a Spirit Transformation cultivator had fallen and headed for the North Sea.

• Yang Que sent a Primordial Demon Sect cultivator to attack the bronze city, prompting the True Martial Practitioners to defend it against a larger assault.
• The Ancestor of True Martial struck from within the city, breaking the Demon Sect cultivators’ defenses and allowing the fourth-tier True Martial Practitioners to capture them.
• The Ancestor sensed Yang Que in the fog and called him down, then ordered the True Martial Practitioners to stand down as Yang Que walked through their attacks unharmed.
• Yang Que offered to take the Ancestor to Emperor Pole Continent, but the Ancestor accused him of carrying the blood of True Martial Practitioners and transformed into a blood-colored skeleton to fight him.
• Yang Que called for Dragon Transformation High Person, received no response, and attacked the Ancestor himself; half a day later, an elder above Guangling Kingdom sensed a Spirit Transformation cultivator had fallen and flew toward the North Sea.

Wang Xu killed Yang Que and rallied the True Martial Practitioners to take revenge on the immortals, while Dragon Transformation High Person offered him a jade seal and Han Yanzi unexpectedly appeared before leaving. Elsewhere, Wang Ba learned that Yang Que had died, leaving the Myriad Gods Kingdom poised to attack the Emperor Pole Continent.

• Wang Xu slew Yang Que, declared that True Martial would rise, and was hailed as the Martial Ancestor by the gathered True Martial Practitioners.
• Dragon Transformation High Person revealed himself as a Law Treasure True Spirit, offered Wang Xu a jade seal, and promised to help him pursue his ambitions.
• Wang Xu urged the True Martial Practitioners to eliminate the immortals, then encountered Han Yanzi, who identified him as the Ancestor of True Martial before departing without fighting.
• Several days later, Wang Xu and the True Martial Practitioners sailed toward the Emperor Pole Continent through the fog.
• The Mother God praised Wang Ba for helping the Myriad Gods Kingdom and rewarded him, while Wang Ba learned through his Yin Spirit Power that Yang Que was dead.

Wang Ba learned that Yang Que had died and ordered Zhou Tianqi to monitor Emperor Pole Continent, then let him study the dangerous Zhou Tian Stars Diagram. At Spirit Chicken Mountain, Wang Ba sensed a phenomenon, while at the Eightfold Sea Xumi confronted a World Eater and wondered why it remained within the Sea Barrier.

• Wang Ba summoned Zhou Tianqi, learned Yang Que had attacked the Primordial Demon Sect before vanishing, and ordered surveillance of Emperor Pole Continent after reporting Yang Que's death.
• Wang Ba showed Zhou Tianqi the Zhou Tian Stars Diagram, pulled him back from being consumed by it, and sent him away with new insights.
• Wang Ba sensed a golden phenomenon at Spirit Chicken Mountain and flew there to investigate.
• Yuan Magnetism Rail Man warned Qu Shentong, An Changshou, Xiong Zhaojing, and Xumi that a World Eater had entered through the enlarged Membrane Eye beneath the Eightfold Sea.
• Xumi attacked the World Eater and tried to lure it beyond the Eightfold Sea, but its bellow shattered the Sea Barrier and forced Yuan Magnetism Rail Man to save him.
• Xumi returned to the others and questioned why the World Eater had remained in the same place.
