Chapter Summaries

After killing Venerable Yuanyang, Zhou Chun gave the Samadhi True Fire Gourd to the Glazed Demon Saint and joined the Human Race Spirit Transformation cultivators in attacking the Yuanmo Realm. Zhou Chun and the Glazed Demon Saint drew out the Blood Sea Demon Venerable, allowing Venerable Changchun to destroy his demonic domain and help kill him.

• Zhou Chun learned from the Samadhi True Fire Gourd that Venerable Yuanyang had used the forbidden Demon God Reincarnation Technique, then arranged for the Glazed Demon Saint to refine the treasure with Venerable Guanghan's approval.
• Venerable Guanghan accepted Zhou Chun's account of Venerable Yuanyang's forbidden technique and said he deserved to die.

• The Blood Sea Demon Venerable merged with his demonic domain and swallowed Zhou Chun and the Glazed Demon Saint, but Venerable Changchun unleashed the Nine Heavens Wind-Thunder Fan and tore the domain apart.
• The Glazed Demon Saint blasted the Blood Sea Demon Venerable with the Heavenly Fire Divine Pearl, and Venerable Changchun struck down his escaping divine light with a disciplinary ruler, reducing him to ashes.

After the Human Race cultivators killed the remaining demon venerable and annihilated the Giant God Clan, Zhou Chun cleared the Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Poisons and prepared for the campaign against Yuanmo Realm. The Zhou Family was tasked with leading that campaign, which Zhou Chun treated as a test of the family’s strength.

• Venerable Changchun and Zhou Chun joined Venerable Guanghan and the others to kill the Emotionless Demon Venerable, then the Human Race cultivators destroyed the Giant God Clan’s resistance in the Giant Stone Highlands.
• After the other Spirit Transformation cultivators departed, Zhou Chun returned to Yuanmo Realm and opened the entrance to the Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Poisons.
• The Glazed Demon Saint burned the poisonous corpses and the Poisonous Ghost King, then brought Zhou Chun the Hundred Poisons Divine Banner, other treasures, and the True Scripture of Ten Thousand Poisons.

He learned that Changchun had been urged to sacrifice Human Race Spirit Transformation cultivators for his ascent, refused, and summoned the Human Race Venerables to a discussion.

• Divine Venerable Taigeng introduced Qi Suzhen, the newly formed Nascent Soul inheritor of the Tai Xuan Sword Sect, and Zhou Chun agreed to help rebuild the sect.
• Zhou Chun arranged for Qi Suzhen and her four junior brothers to train as instructors with the Zhou Family before establishing their sect, while he and Divine Venerable Taigeng worried about Venerable Changchun’s silence and the missing ancient Human Race senior.
• Zhou Yuanxin died during the Heart Demon Tribulation, and Zhou Chun later celebrated the Demon-Slaying Army’s victory over the Yuanmo Realm’s known demonic strongholds.

• Venerable Changchun summoned all the Human Race Spirit Transformation Venerables, including Zhou Chun, to Changchun Valley for a discussion.

Venerable Changchun revealed that Venerable Yuan demanded more sixth-tier corpses and proposed using Human Race cultivators, then sought the others’ help attacking the Demon Race to secure his chance to ascend. The assault on Dragon Abyss Marsh failed against the Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun, and Changchun explained that ascending without an Ascension Dao Marker required guidance from someone descended from the Upper Realm, leaving his plan dependent on Venerable Yuan.

• Venerable Changchun told the gathered Spirit Transformation cultivators that Venerable Yuan had asked him to provide six sixth-tier corpses and hinted he could use Human Race cultivators to make up the shortfall.

• After half a day of fighting, Venerable Changchun ordered a retreat when the Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun’s defenses and recovery made victory unattainable.
• The Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun told Golden Horn Dragon Saint that Changchun had warned him the Demon Race faced another calamity, while the Human Race’s growing numbers of powerful cultivators threatened its future.
• Venerable Changchun explained that cultivators needed an Ascension Dao Marker to navigate the Chaotic Void, but an Upper Realm descendant such as Venerable Yuan could sense the way and guide someone to the Upper Realm.

Venerable Changchun recruited Zhou Chun, Divine Venerable Taigeng, and Ye Qingxuan to help hunt Venerable Yuan, suspecting the ancient powerhouse might prey on Spirit Transformation cultivators. After Zhou Chun uncovered evidence that Venerable Yuan may already have returned to the Upper Realm, Changchun launched his plan at Sinister Spirit Canyon, where the attack began and the Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun joined the battle.

• Venerable Changchun privately asked Zhou Chun, Divine Venerable Taigeng, and Ye Qingxuan to help hunt Venerable Yuan, and they agreed under four conditions.
• Zhou Chun learned from spirit Unmarked that Celestial Venerable Yuan had once returned to the Upper Realm after a battle, then relayed the information to Venerable Changchun.

• Venerable Changchun offered Venerable Guanghan's corpse and Venerable Green Robe to Venerable Yuan, then triggered an attack that caused explosions inside the stone doors.
• The Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun rushed toward Sinister Spirit Canyon as Venerable Changchun unleashed his full strength against Venerable Yuan.

At Sinister Spirit Canyon, Venerable Changchun and his allies learned that Venerable Yuan was an evil-thought avatar of Celestial Venerable Yuan and forced him to ascend alongside Venerable Changchun and the Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun. Before leaving, the Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun gave Zhou Chun and the others origin True Blood that might guide them to its main body in the Upper Realm, and the survivors then went to claim Changchun Valley.

• Venerable Changchun and the Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun agreed to ascend together if Zhou Chun and the others swore not to attack the Flood Dragon clan; they gave the group origin True Blood and a secret refining technique in return.
• Zhou Chun, Ye Qingxuan, and Divine Venerable Taigeng swore their oaths, and Venerable Changchun and the Northern Darkness Mysterious Kun drew on the Great Dao to force themselves and Venerable Yuan into the seven-colored vortex.
• Zhou Chun, Ye Qingxuan, and Divine Venerable Taigeng left Sinister Spirit Canyon for Changchun Valley, where Li Niang welcomed them and presented a list of the valley's spiritual items.

After centuries of cultivation, Zhou Chun helped Luo Qingni achieve Spirit Transformation, advanced his treasures and cultivation, and strengthened the Zhou Family. He eventually reached late Spirit Transformation and, after another thousand years, ascended to the Upper Realm.

Nearly thirty thousand years after Zhou Yang achieved Dao Integration, his son Zhou Guang Zheng survived the Wind and Fire Tribulations and became a Void Returning True Lord, strengthening the Crimson Firmament Immortal Palace. Zhou Yang and Xuan Nü later perfected the Reincarnation Transmigration Method, and after True Monarch Xuanpin used it to achieve Dao Integration, the method spread among the Human Race’s highest cultivators.
