Chapter Summaries

Ye Xuan signed in to obtain the sealed immortal sword Rift the Void, then continued across the Spirit Medicine Realm as its blessing helped him break through to the Golden Core late stage. His next sign-in granted him a trace of the realm’s origin essence, while cultivators across the realm headed toward a common destination.

• Ye Xuan signed in aboard the Azure Cloud Boat and received the immortal sword Rift the Void.
• Ye Xuan opened three of the sword’s nine seals and nearly exhausted his Spiritual Qi with a single strike that cleaved through a mountain.
• Disciples across the Spirit Medicine Realm broke through to Foundation Establishment, then split up to cultivate, gather medicines, or travel toward a shared destination.

• Ye Xuan broke through to the Golden Core late stage and received the Spirit Medicine Realm’s blessing.
• Ye Xuan signed in and obtained a trace of the Spirit Medicine Realm’s origin essence.

Ye Xuan claimed the Spirit Medicine Realm’s world origin, which raised him to Golden Core Peak and strengthened him, while Ji Fenghe poisoned and subdued a Blood Demon Sect disciple to test his concoctions. Ye Xuan set off toward another opportunity, and Ji Fenghe kept Liang Kuang alive for further experiments.

• Ye Xuan claimed the Spirit Medicine Realm’s origin, absorbed a surge of Spiritual Qi, and advanced to Golden Core Peak.
• Ye Xuan discovered that the origin strengthened him, gave him an affinity with the realm, and helped him find valuable spirit medicines.
• Ji Fenghe encountered Liang Kuang of the Blood Demon Sect and welcomed the chance to test his poisons on him.
• Liang Kuang attacked, but Ji Fenghe’s poisons took effect, leaving Liang Kuang blind, weakened, and unable to control his Spiritual Qi.
• Ji Fenghe disarmed and subdued Liang Kuang, then gave him an antidote and promised to keep him alive while continuing his experiments.

Ye Xuan found an immense land sealed behind an impenetrable barrier and settled outside it to cultivate. Meanwhile, Ji Fenghe reunited with Mo Qi and the wounded Xiao Yu, then faced Luo Qi as the Blood Demon Sect cultivator attacked.

• Ye Xuan discovered that a barrier enclosed a hundred-thousand-li region above and below, failed to break through it, and established a Spirit Gathering Formation outside to pursue Nascent Soul.
• Ji Fenghe continued crossing the grassland with Liang Kuang, who had been tortured by testing Ji Fenghe’s poisons.

• Liang Kuang warned Luo Qi that Ji Fenghe used poison, but Luo Qi took antidotes and checked himself before advancing.
• Ji Fenghe handed Mo Qi ten protective jade pendants and moved to meet Luo Qi as he attacked.

Ji Fenghe defeated Luo Qi with poison and captured him, while Ye Xuan began his Nascent Soul Tribulation. The tribulation clouds expanded to a thousand li, and Ye Xuan struggled through the first seventeen strikes before the eighteenth arrived.

• Ye Xuan shattered the Rift the Void Sword's fourth seal to break through the tribulation lightning, then claimed ten strands of Spirit Medicine Realm essence and formed a golden Nascent Soul.
• Ye Xuan tested his new strength, returned to the barrier site, and spent three months advancing to Nascent Soul late stage while gathering twenty strands of essence.

• Ye Xuan lowered his cultivation and changed his appearance as Shu Sheng flew toward the Land of Sequences.
• Shu Sheng wrote "Shu Sheng was here" on the Land of Sequences, noticed Ye Xuan, and wondered why he appeared to be only at early Foundation Establishment.

Ye Xuan tried to learn about the mysterious place from Shu Sheng, who eventually accepted a Flawless Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pill in exchange for information. Shu Sheng revealed that it was the Land of Sequences, which would open in a month to prodigies bearing an immortal sequence.

• Ye Xuan offered Shu Sheng the Waning Moon Sword, then a Flawless Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pill, to persuade him to share information.
• Shu Sheng accepted the pill and explained that the Land of Sequences opened once every ten years and admitted only prodigies bearing an immortal sequence.

Ye Xuan learned from Shu Sheng about the Immortal Sequence, the Yellow Origin Realm’s history, and the ongoing war for human territory. When Shu Sheng revealed that his Immortal Sequence was marked by a trace of origin power, Ye Xuan realized his own origin power might let him enter the Land of Sequences.

• Shu Sheng explained that Immortal Sequence holders could enter the Land of Sequences and gain blessings by reaching Golden Core there.
• Shu Sheng described the benefits of world origin, while Ye Xuan concealed his own eleven threads of origin power from the world’s consciousness.
• Shu Sheng told Ye Xuan that the Yellow Origin Sect had led the Immortal Alliance’s expansion into the realm and that humans occupied a third of it while fighting an ongoing war.
• Ye Xuan asked about proof of the Immortal Sequence, and Shu Sheng revealed a trace of origin power in his spiritual sea.
• Ye Xuan recognized Shu Sheng’s aura as weakened origin power and concluded that he might also enter the Land of Sequences.

• Ye Xuan sent Xu Yi flying, and Xu Yi admitted defeat before leaving to recover.
• Shu Sheng returned the Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pill, but Ye Xuan said their exchange had been fair and dismissed him.
