Chapter Summaries

Wang Ba and Fanming gathered primal chaos source substance from a world embryo, awakening its owner, who attacked them and was killed by Wang Ba. After discovering clues about Hundred Ghosts Mountain and a corpse-refining method, Wang Ba hurried back toward the Little Cang Realm, but Sakura Mother sensed several more world embryos nearby.

• Wang Ba cautiously examined the world embryo and sent a paper person to inspect it, learning from Sakura Mother that it was still growing as it absorbed primal chaos source substance.
• Fanming pierced the substance's outer wrapping and swallowed most of the supply, causing the world embryo to shrivel and crack.
• A robed figure emerged from the embryo and accused Wang Ba and Fanming of destroying his Dao field, then attacked them with deathly Qi.
• Wang Ba killed the figure with the Frost-White Heavenfall Saber and found a dwarf cultivator inside the giant corpse, along with a patterned ring and a bronze bell.
• Wang Ba used the ring to reveal a map-like phantom and learned from the bell that it contained the Zhebi Corpse-Controlling Method, which might help him refine the Six-Fingered Gods and Devils.
• Wang Ba and Fanming set off back toward the Little Cang Realm, but Sakura Mother reported sensing several more world embryos nearby.

Wang Ba fled the ruins after destroying a Dao Field and killing She Lu, then used bluster and negotiation to escape Sheye, one of Hundred Ghosts Mountain’s Five Great Ghost Kings. He left with the promise of three more Dao Fields, while another figure approached Hundred Ghosts Mountain.

• Wang Ba ordered Fanming to leave the World Embryo behind, but five black-robed figures emerged and pursued them as a monstrous being appeared from another rift.
• Wang Ba escaped the first pursuer, studied the map from the ring, and discovered hidden detection artifacts that exposed his position to Sheye.
• Sheye pursued Wang Ba on a corpse-like monster, and Wang Ba destroyed the surveillance artifacts while searching for a route through the ruins.
• Wang Ba learned about the Sea of Boundary Turmoil and Hundred Ghosts Mountain’s standing as he pretended to be a young cultivator from a powerful family.
• Sheye identified himself as one of the Five Great Ghost Kings and offered three Dao Fields to secure Wang Ba’s departure; Wang Ba accepted and left with Fanming.
• After Wang Ba departed, Sheye revealed his small, withered form and regretted not keeping him at Hundred Ghosts Mountain; elsewhere, a handsome figure approached the area.

Wang Ba let Fanming devour the World Embryos in Hundred Ghosts Mountain’s territory, while Sheye mistook the destruction of his Dao Fields for a diplomatic gesture from the Jade Pot Realm. The chapter ended with Sheye learning that a cultivator claiming to be from the Jade Pot Realm had arrived to ask for water.

• Wang Ba kept the Little Cang Realm’s existence hidden and ordered Fanming to fly through the World Embryos rather than avoid them.
• Wang Ba let Fanming consume Primal Chaos Source Substance and destroy a World Embryo while Sheye chose not to intervene.
• Sheye concluded that Wang Ba was from the Jade Pot Realm and hoped the lost Dao Fields would help establish ties against the Red Heaven Palace.
• Wang Ba let Fanming consume more World Embryos, and Sheye grew troubled as the losses reached three of his personal Dao Fields.
• After Fanming finished eating the second Dao Field, Wang Ba departed and sent word that he would remember Sheye’s kindness.
• Sheye celebrated Wang Ba’s apparent restraint, then learned that another cultivator claiming to be from the Jade Pot Realm had arrived to ask for water.

Wang Ba escaped Sheye after deceiving him about his origins and destroying the surveillance artifacts along his route. With Fanming carrying enough Primal Chaos Source Substance to sustain the Little Cang Realm for nearly three hundred years, Wang Ba finally returned there.

• Sheye welcomed Ji Wujiao, a Jade Pot Realm disciple, and learned he had come to borrow Hundred Ghosts Mountain’s divine corpses to temper his Annihilation Forbidden Art.
• Ji Wujiao denied knowing Wang Ba or Fanming, making Sheye realize the traveler had never actually claimed to be from the Jade Pot Realm.
• Sheye searched Hundred Ghosts Mountain’s surveillance phantoms, discovered Wang Ba destroying the artifacts, and rushed to intercept him.
• Wang Ba escaped on Fanming through unobstructed void; Sheye found that the nearby surveillance artifacts were gone and vowed to curse the stranger as “Bird Daoist.”
• Wang Ba reflected that Fanming had consumed the source substance around two world embryos and carried enough to sustain the Little Cang Realm for nearly three hundred years.
• After three years of travel through the ruins, Wang Ba reached the shriveled World Domain of the Little Cang Realm.

Sheye gathered the Ghost Kings of Hundred Ghosts Mountain after Ji Wujiao used the Jade Pot Realm and Red Heaven Palace to pressure him, while Wang Ba restored the Little Cang Realm and began preparing a way to strengthen its forces. The chapter ended with Wang Ba suddenly trapped by ominous black vines as A Er’s golden-threaded markings rose toward him.

• Ji Wujiao offered Sheye help from the Jade Pot Realm and said he would stay at Red Heaven Palace, prompting Sheye to summon the other four Ghost Kings and warn them of the threat to Hundred Ghosts Mountain.
• The Ghost Kings debated how to respond, and Sheye persuaded Xicai to curse the Bird Daoist with Threefold Suffering for destroying his three Dao Fields.
• Wang Ba returned to the Little Cang Realm, where Fanming released primal chaos source substance and restored the realm’s domain origin.
• Wang Ba asked Jiying to prioritize researching the Corpse-Controlling Method so the Little Cang Realm could make use of the Six-Fingered Gods and Devils’ corpse bodies.
• Wang Ba arranged Tribulation Crossing for A Da and A Er, and both Stone Dragon Lizards advanced to the sixth tier.
• Wang Ba saw that the red dot had vanished from his pavilion ring’s map, then became bound by ominous black vines as A Er’s markings rose toward him.

Ghost King Xicai and Sheye cursed Wang Ba with Threefold Suffering, but A Er intercepted the curse’s fruit and delivered it to Wang Ba, who used it to strengthen his body and Primordial Spirit at the cost of weakening his Xuanhuang Dao Domain. After his breakthrough, Wang Ba sensed the curse’s source, kept A Er close, and learned that completing the Zhebi Corpse’s Corpse-Controlling Method required a place of death filled with extreme resentment.

• Ghost King Xicai cast Threefold Suffering on Wang Ba, and he and Sheye feared that their target might belong to one of the Three Realms after he survived the first two sufferings.
• As the curse’s fruit formed, black mist with golden threads enveloped it and vanished; Xicai concluded that Wang Ba was probably still alive, while Ghost King Tengmo proposed blaming Wang Ba for stealing Hundred Ghosts Mountain’s Three Divine Corpse legacy.
• Wang Ba awoke with his body and Primordial Spirit hollowed out, then watched the black mist return to A Er’s back with the fruit, which burst inside Wang Ba and replenished his Essence and Blood Qi.
• Over more than twenty years, Wang Ba’s body reached mid-stage Void Refinement perfection and his Primordial Spirit broke through to mid-stage Void Refinement, while his Xuanhuang Dao Domain fell to first-tier perfection.
• Wang Ba sensed the curse’s source, ordered A Er to stay by his side, and heard Jiying report that the Zhebi Corpse’s Corpse-Controlling Method required a place of death filled with extreme resentment.

Wang Ba found enough resentment in the outskirts of the Immortal Severance Land to begin refining the Six-Fingered God and Devil's corpse, then arranged for it to be nurtured in the Senluo Underworld. As the corpse was sealed and submerged in the Corpse-Suppressing Sea Eye, golden radiance rose over Northern Uttarakuru and an infant cried out.

• Jiying told Wang Ba that the Zhebi Corpse required vast resentment and gave him a formation disk to collect it.
• Wang Ba discovered that Fanming had carried the Little Cang Realm to the edge of the map, which proved to be the outskirts of the Immortal Severance Land.
• Wang Ba used the formation disk there to gather enough resentment, then returned and chose the Senluo Underworld as a dead land for the corpse.
• Jiying and the Hundred Arts Academy cultivators prepared the Senluo Underworld and refined the Six-Fingered God and Devil's corpse into its fledgling foundation.
• Wang Ba sealed the corpse with the bronze bell and sent it into the Corpse-Suppressing Sea Eye, where resentment began to nurture it.
• Wang Ba saw golden radiance rise above Northern Uttarakuru and heard an infant cry from within it.

Wang Ba’s incarnation Chonghua met Yu Wuhen after she gave birth to a daughter, Yu Yu, and agreed to become the child’s adopted father. At the Witch Tribe Capital, he discovered Wang Yi'an and Xuanwen had raised a large family and challenged their use of descendants to resist the Original Body’s plans, then took over as Witch Lord and announced a path for Sixth Tier Witch People to ascend.

• Wang Ba sensed Yu Wuhen had delivered her child and sent his incarnation, Chonghua, toward Northern Uttarakuru after the True Martial Incarnation awakened.
• Chonghua met Yu Wuhen and revealed he had reached the seventh tier through the Immortal Blood; after they clashed, Yu Wuhen offered to let their daughter choose her path and asked him to be her father.
• Yu Wuhen named the baby girl Yu Yu and explained that she intended to raise her until adulthood before returning to her own path; Chonghua told her to bring the child to the Witch Tribe Capital.
• At the Witch Tribe Capital, Chonghua found that Wang Yi'an, Xuanwen, and Yi had reached the Sixth Tier, and Wang Yi'an introduced more than twenty descendants as Chonghua’s grandchildren.
• Wang Yi'an explained that he had spread his bloodline among the Witch People to oppose the Original Body’s plans, but Chonghua rebuked him and Xuanwen for treating descendants as a means to an end.
• Chonghua took over as Witch Lord after Wang Yi'an, Xuanwen, and Yi left for the Daoist Grounds, then proclaimed that Sixth Tier Witch People could shatter the void and gain a chance to change their fate.

Chonghua reformed the Witch Tribe while Wang Yi'an returned to the Taiyi Daoist Grounds with Xuanwen and Yi, where Wang Ba sent Yi'an and Xuanwen to guard the True Spirits in the Senluo Underworld and assigned Yi to study combat techniques. Thirty years later, Yu Wuhen left to ascend, but she and Wang Ba discovered that no Ascension Tribulation appeared in the Sea of Boundary Turmoil.

• Chonghua ordered the new True Martial Sutra spread throughout the Witch Tribe, opened the capital to fifth-tier practitioners, and began reorganizing the tribe with Yu Wuhen's help.
• Wang Yi'an, Xuanwen, and Yi arrived at the Taiyi Daoist Grounds, where Bu Chan welcomed Xuanwen as her daughter-in-law and met her many grandchildren through their news.
• Wang Ba praised Wang Yi'an and Yi for establishing the Twelve Capitals Grand Formation, then sent Wang Yi'an and Xuanwen to guard the True Spirits in the Senluo Underworld and told Yi to study combat techniques.
• Wang Yi'an and Xuanwen visited Zhao Feng, who gave Xuanwen a gift before briefly displaying an unfamiliar, indifferent state that he dismissed as strain from cultivation.
• Thirty years later, Yu Wuhen left her daughter Yu Yu with Chonghua and departed to ascend, but no Ascension Tribulation appeared when she released her power beyond the Little Cang Realm.
• Wang Ba and Cang Fuzi realized that Yu Wuhen could not ascend from the Sea of Boundary Turmoil.

Wang Ba returned from seclusion to find that many cultivators in the Daoist Grounds, including Zhao Feng, had begun losing control of their Dao Domains, and he suspected the problem involved their Primordial Spirits. As he considered whether Hundred Ghosts Mountain had a way to remedy the condition, someone offered to make the trip there.

• Wang Ba reassured the gathered cultivators that the Little Cang Realm could seek a foothold in the Sea of Boundary Turmoil by cultivating more Body Integration experts, while Yu Wuhen explained that her Primordial Spirit lagged behind her Dao Domain.
• Yu Wuhen returned to the realm to keep Yu Yu company, while Chonghua prepared to leave Northern Uttarakuru and entrusted Yu Yu with governing the Witch Tribe.
• Jiying woke Wang Ba from seclusion and reported that nearly thirty percent of the Daoist Grounds' Spirit Transformation and Void Refinement cultivators had lost control, including Zhao Feng, who had sealed himself inside Pure Yang Palace.
• Wang Ba restored Zhao Feng's emotions by giving lotus seeds from the Lotus Maiden to his Primordial Spirit, then ruled out the sleeping Pink Rabbit as the cause of the outbreaks.
• Jiang Yi and Yu Wuhen discussed the danger of spending too long beyond the boundary, and Wang Ba suspected that Primordial Spirit treasures had protected Yu Wuhen from further episodes.
• Wang Ba reasoned that Hundred Ghosts Mountain might have survived the destruction of a world and possessed a way to repair Primordial Spirits, just as someone declared, “Let me make the trip.”

Chonghua left the Little Cang Realm with Fanming and Sakura Mother to seek Primal Chaos Source Substance and a way to address Dao Domain loss of control. As he headed toward a nearby faction instead of Hundred Ghosts Mountain, the Ghost Kings there learned that the Bird Daoist had appeared again.

• Chonghua took Fanming, the Blood Qilin, and Sakura Mother out of the Little Cang Realm, while Wang Ba distributed lotus seeds and ordered cultivators to stop Dao Domain cultivation and focus on nurturing their Primordial Spirits.
• Chonghua chose to approach a nearby faction first to learn more about the region before deciding whether to visit Hundred Ghosts Mountain, and an unseen speck of light appeared in the ruins after he departed.
• Qiao Wensong and Ji Wujiao visited the five Ghost Kings to seek a copy of the Three Divine Corpse Method for Ji Wujiao, but the Ghost Kings said the Bird Daoist had stolen it.
• Qiao Wensong offered Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid and warned the Ghost Kings about Red Heaven Palace, but they still refused to provide the method, and he left with Ji Wujiao.
• A young disciple reported that the Bird Daoist had appeared again, stunning the five Ghost Kings and stopping Qiao Wensong and Ji Wujiao outside the hall.

Chonghua reached Child Bug Valley while seeking directions to Hundred Ghosts Mountain, but Yun Qi and the other cultivators tried to capture him for Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid. Chonghua defeated them with his Blood Qi, while the Ghost Kings set out to intercept him near Red Heaven Palace.

• Chonghua followed the map to a damaged ochre world domain and approached its inhabitants, who identified their home as Child Bug Valley.
• Yun Qi welcomed Chonghua and offered to guide him, but Chonghua's questions revealed that the cultivators were concealing their intentions and wanted to seize him for Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid.
• Chonghua resisted the cultivators' Dao Domains and defeated them with his Blood Qi after they attacked.
• At Hundred Ghosts Mountain, Qiao Wensong protected a disciple who reported Chonghua was heading toward Red Heaven Palace, then left with Ji Wujiao.
• The Ghost Kings ordered their forces to use a secret Teleportation Array and intercept Chonghua before he reached Red Heaven Palace.
• Chonghua searched Child Bug Valley for its Dao Field as the five Ghost Kings emerged from the array and flew toward Red Heaven Palace.

Chonghua tore open and destroyed the false Red Heaven Realm, saving some of its people and forcing Yun Qi to reveal information about the Sea of Boundary Turmoil and the Jade Pot Realm. The Five Great Ghost Kings arrived seeking the Bird Daoist, only to find Chonghua waiting for them.

• Chonghua exposed the Red Heaven Realm as a fabricated shelter, burned it, and rescued some Red Heaven Palace cultivators from the flames.
• Yun Qi attacked Chonghua in despair, but Chonghua subdued him and threatened the survivors until Yun Qi answered his questions.
• Yun Qi explained that the Jade Pot Realm was one of the Three Realms, described the Immortal Pass and Immortal Severance Land, and revealed why Red Heaven Palace had sought the Jade Pot Realm's support.
• Chonghua asked about Boundary Sea Vortices, but Yun Qi did not recognize the term before five hostile Dao Domain fluctuations approached.
• The Five Great Ghost Kings mistook Chonghua for a captive and rushed toward the Red Heaven Palace, then stopped when they saw the ruined realm and Chonghua confronting them.

Chonghua confronted the Five Great Ghost Kings over Hundred Ghosts Mountain’s curse and betrayal, then demanded all of their Dao Fields. Qiao Wensong arrived and attacked after recognizing Chonghua’s golden double pupils, but Chonghua defeated him and returned with his head, leaving the Ghost Kings facing the demand again.

• The Five Great Ghost Kings discovered that Chonghua had destroyed the Red Heaven Palace and tried to explain their actions, including the curse they had cast on him.
• Ghost King Xicai gave Chonghua the Threefold Suffering Curse Technique, but Chonghua refused to accept it as sufficient compensation and demanded every Dao Field belonging to Hundred Ghosts Mountain.
• Qiao Wensong arrived with Ji Wujiao, recognized Chonghua’s double pupils, attacked him, and then fled aboard the silver flying boat.
• Fanming intercepted the flying boat, and Chonghua returned with Qiao Wensong’s head and the captured boat.
• Chonghua resumed negotiations with Ghost King Tengmo, who began to answer that Hundred Ghosts Mountain could only pay its respects to the Mountain Lord.

Yun Zaitian left Changying Dao Master's guidance with a newly harmonized primordial spirit and Dao domain, while events at Red Heaven Palace and Hundred Ghosts Mountain drew the Jade Pot Realm into conflict. After Qiao Wensong's death, Yun Qi pledged the Red Heaven Palace's people and resources to Chonghua, who agreed to take them in.

• Yun Zaitian learned that his strength ranked among the top hundred in the Sea of Boundary Turmoil, excluding the Three Realms and the Great Sea Market, and fought Zuo Wenlin to a draw.
• Changying Dao Master told Zu Wenqiu that Qiao Wensong had died near Red Heaven Palace and Hundred Ghosts Mountain, then ordered Yun Zaitian to investigate.
• Chonghua learned that the Red Heaven Palace's Palace Master would not return for another hundred-odd years and ordered Sheye to kill the prisoners when Yun Qi offered no information.
• Yun Qi revealed that he knew the locations of Red Heaven Palace's Dao Fields and treasury, and proposed that his people join Chonghua's realm.
• Chonghua accepted Yun Qi's offer, and Yun Qi presented a teleportation array leading to the Red Heaven Palace's forty-seven Dao Fields.

Chonghua and Yun Qi explored Red Heaven Palace’s Dao Fields, where Yun Qi explained how World Embryos were cultivated and why their treasures mattered. After Chonghua claimed the fields and uncovered valuable items stored by Fanming, he allowed the Ghost Kings to keep Hundred Ghosts Mountain as his window on the outside world while Fanming began to change after consuming five drained Dao Fields.

• Yun Qi explained the Great Sea Market, the factions’ maps, and how Red Heaven Palace used its predecessors’ Dao Seeds to nurture World Embryos and trade the treasures they produced.
• Yun Qi opened two mature World Embryos and found a fire-attribute spirit ore and Dao Fire Liquid, which Chonghua told him to keep.
• Chonghua opened the third embryo and captured a fiery leaf containing a Primordial Dao Treasure with eight Primordial Cloud Restrictions.
• Chonghua ordered Yun Qi to move the Dao Fields, and they drained five empty fields so Fanming could consume their primal chaos source substance.
• Chonghua showed Yun Qi the treasures Qiao Wensong had left in Fanming, including a Middle Grade Primordial Dao Treasure, an Extreme Boundary Talisman, and Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid.
• Chonghua let the five Ghost Kings return to Hundred Ghosts Mountain to monitor the Jade Pot Realm, then Fanming began visibly changing after swallowing the five drained Dao Fields.

Chonghua fed Fanming enough primal chaos source substance to advance, questioned Ji Wujiao about the Jade Pot Realm, and left the ruined Red Heaven Palace with Yun Qi. On their return, Yun Zaitian and his party discovered that the Red Heaven Realm had vanished.

• Chonghua ordered Yun Qi to supply Fanming with more primal chaos source substance while Yun Qi warned that Red Heaven Palace’s destruction would draw attention.
• Chonghua threatened to send Ji Wujiao to the Corpse-Cooking Ghost King, prompting Ji Wujiao to reveal the Jade Pot Realm’s strength and describe the Annihilation Forbidden Art.
• Chonghua learned that the Jade Pot Realm had ties to the Twin Body Realm and decided to avoid provoking the Jade Pot Realm for now.
• Fanming swallowed twelve Dao Fields, advanced to the mid-stage seventh tier, and later left the Red Heaven Palace ruins with Chonghua and Yun Qi.
• Yun Zaitian returned with Red Heaven Palace cultivators and planned to use Qiao Wensong’s death to turn the Jade Pot Realm against Hundred Ghosts Mountain.
• Yun Zaitian and his party arrived at an empty stretch of void and realized that the Red Heaven Realm had disappeared.

Wang Ba and Chonghua replenished the Little Cang Realm with primal chaos source substance, restoring its domain origin and spiritual energy while debating how to handle their captives. Chonghua set out for Hundred Ghosts Mountain, where Yun Zaitian confronted the Five Great Ghost Kings and demanded to know who had destroyed Red Heaven Palace.

• Wang Ba welcomed Fanming and Chonghua back, and learned that Chonghua had seized more than forty Dao Fields from Red Heaven Palace.
• Wang Ba persuaded Chonghua to reincarnate the Red Heaven Palace and Hundred Ghosts Mountain captives into the Little Cang Realm rather than kill them outright, while Chonghua kept Ji Wujiao in his custody.
• Chonghua and Fanming released their stores of primal chaos source substance, allowing the Little Cang Realm's domain origin, spiritual energy, and World Rank to recover.
• Chonghua visited Yu Yu, scolded her for remaining at the late Sixth Tier, and then left with Fanming for Hundred Ghosts Mountain.
• At the ruined Hundred Ghosts Mountain, Yun Zaitian confronted the Five Great Ghost Kings and demanded to know who had destroyed Red Heaven Palace.

Wang Ba discovered that combining Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid with Immortal Blood produced a mist that improved his body, Primordial Spirit, and Dao Domain, while the liquid alone greatly strengthened his Primordial Spirit. As he left to address Zhao Feng and the others’ Dao Domain problems, Chonghua encountered a pair of debris-filled cyclones and a powerful heat that made Yun Qi wonder whether the Palace Master had returned.

• Wang Ba examined the Red Heaven Palace treasury and tested Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid, discovering its reaction with Immortal Blood and the transformative golden mist it produced.
• Wang Ba absorbed several more drops of Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid, strengthening his Primordial Spirit by the equivalent of hundreds of years of cultivation before reaching his limit.
• Wang Ba considered using the Threefold Suffering Curse Technique to accelerate his Primordial Spirit’s progress, then left the secret realm to address Zhao Feng and the others’ loss of control over their Dao Domains.
• Chonghua traveled with Fanming toward Hundred Ghosts Mountain, planning to bring its people and resources back to the Little Cang Realm and keep the realm’s existence secret.
• Chonghua and Yun Qi saw immense debris cyclones and felt an approaching heat; Yun Qi wondered if the Palace Master had returned.

• Yun Zaitian confronted Chonghua over the destruction of the Red Heaven Palace, while the Palace Master’s cultivators and the Five Great Ghost Kings accused Yun Qi of betrayal and tried to sway him.
• Yun Zaitian revealed his seventh-tier Dao Domain and attacked Chonghua, while the Red Heaven Palace cultivators fought Yun Qi and the Five Great Ghost Kings.
• Chonghua emerged from the sea of fire after killing Yun Zaitian, and the remaining Red Heaven Palace cultivators died in desperate attacks or burned themselves alive.
• Ghost King Tengmo tried to ingratiate himself with Chonghua, who took a middle-grade Primordial Dao Treasure from the Jade Pot Realm.
• Chonghua sensed a hidden observer in the ruins and demanded that they reveal themselves.
