Chapter Summaries

Su Yi sealed the Three Pure Ones’ and Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s powers and let them settle their dispute in a hand-to-hand fight while he, Suirenshi, and Gou Yan watched and ate. Gou Yan was left baffled by the Sages’ clumsy brawl as the three Sages gradually gained the upper hand.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi warned the Three Pure Ones that the Heavenly Dao would strip the first Sage to strike of their Dao fruit, but Su Yi asked the Heavenly Dao directly and it gave them permission to fight.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi called Su Yi “Brother Su,” further angering the Three Pure Ones, who attacked him; Su Yi sealed everyone’s cultivation and told them to fight farther away.

The Three Pure Ones and Eastern Emperor Taiyi stopped fighting and questioned Suirenshi about the innate primordial violet qi he had refined. Su Yi clarified that Suirenshi was neither a Hunyuan Sage nor a Great Dao Sage, then departed to find his wife with Gou Yan while Yuan Haoran and the rabbit chose to stay with others.

• The Three Pure Ones and Eastern Emperor Taiyi ended their fight, and Celestial Venerable of the Dao and Virtue asked Suirenshi if he had obtained the innate primordial violet qi.

• Su Yi left with Gou Yan to find his wife, and the Three Pure Ones bowed deeply as he departed.

After killing the Star Lord of Fire Virtue and Jiang Wenque, Su Yi let Chang'e report the incident to the Jade Emperor while he strolled through the city with Ye Xiaxuan. The onlookers mistook him for Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and Su Yi and Ye Xiaxuan remained together as they waited to see what would happen.

After a report confused the deaths of five star lords with an attack by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Jade Emperor ordered the gods to go to the Thirteenth Heaven and apologize to Su Duanhun and his wife.

• Chang'e told the Jade Emperor that Su Duanhun had accused the Star Lord of Fire Virtue of extortion, and the Jade Emperor decided to apologize rather than attack him.

• The Jade Emperor told the assembled heavenly gods to go to the Thirteenth Heaven and apologize to Su Duanhun and his wife for the star lords' actions.

Su Yi arranged for Divine Dragon and Divine Phoenix to leave the Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Prison and asked them to train Gou Yan after he emerged from the Zhou Zhuang Butterfly Realm. He then took Ye Xiaxuan to visit Tang Sanzang, who was trapped in a hall surrounded by demonic soldiers after forcing a Ghost King to rename his kingdom the Great Tang Immortal Kingdom.

Su Yi, Ye Xiaxuan, and Sun Wukong arrived at the Great Tang Immortal Kingdom, where Jimeng’s demons were blocking the gates. Su Yi left Ye Xiaxuan to handle the confrontation herself, then Jimeng overwhelmed her and Sun Wukong with his aura while Su Yi fled.

• Jimeng confronted the group and pressed Sun Wukong and Ye Xiaxuan with his terrifying aura.
• Su Yi slipped away several thousand meters, leaving Ye Xiaxuan immobilized by Jimeng’s aura.

• Su Yi handed Jimeng his mask and claimed he had found it in a tomb containing more treasures.
• Jimeng promised not to kill Su Yi if he led him to the tomb, and Su Yi thanked him for sparing his life.

Su Yi’s resistance to Jimeng’s soul-searching art left Jimeng mentally incapacitated, allowing Sun Wukong to escape and beat him while the demons mistook the fight for a performance. Jimeng’s subordinates continued watching and cheering as Su Yi reflected that Jimeng had brought this on himself.

• Jimeng swallowed Ye Xiaxuan and her alchemy furnace after discovering her trace of Innate Primordial Violet Qi, intending to keep it for himself.
• Jimeng demanded that Su Yi explain where he found the bronze mask, then tried to search Su Yi’s memories when he refused.

• Sun Wukong escaped and knocked Jimeng down, then savagely beat him while the demons assumed Jimeng was pretending.
• Su Yi watched Jimeng being beaten and concluded that he had caused his own mental breakdown by ignoring the warning not to search his soul.

Sun Wukong savagely battered Jimeng after the Quasi-Sage suffered a backlash from probing Su Yi’s memories, while Su Yi fended off Jimeng’s demons without harming them. Jimeng burned his demon soul to regain his strength and sent Sun Wukong flying, but Su Yi believed Ye Xiaxuan could still defeat Jimeng from inside his stomach.

• Jimeng’s attempt to probe Su Yi’s memories left him delirious, allowing Sun Wukong to beat him with the Little Shabby Stick and damage his demon soul.
• Jimeng’s demon soldiers attacked Sun Wukong, but he quickly killed and wounded many of them while continuing to batter Jimeng.
• The rhinoceros demon tried to threaten Sun Wukong by attacking Su Yi, but his saber broke against Su Yi’s arm; Su Yi evaded the demons’ weapons with the Law of Space and warned them to stop.
• Jimeng burned his demon soul, roared, and struck Sun Wukong so hard that he flew away bleeding from all seven orifices.
• Su Yi avoided Jimeng’s demonic sense and reasoned that Ye Xiaxuan, armed with the Soul Severing Sword and its two sword spirits inside Jimeng’s stomach, could still deal him a fatal blow.

After Jimeng swallowed Ye Xiaxuan and the pill furnace, the Soul Severing Sword devastated him from within, while Su Yi subdued Sun Wukong’s demonic artifact and carved a new name into it. Ye Xiaxuan escaped unharmed, and Su Yi’s group headed into the city.

• Ye Xiaxuan sent the Soul Severing Sword out of the pill furnace, and its spirit rampaged through Jimeng while the scabbard spirit protected her.
• Jimeng suffered catastrophic internal injuries and collapsed as his subordinates watched in shock.
• Sun Wukong attacked Su Yi with the Little Shabby Stick, but Su Yi caught it and sealed its artifact spirit.
• Su Yi carved “Ruyi Golden Cudgel” into the Little Shabby Stick, transforming its black surface with a faint golden glow.
• Ye Xiaxuan emerged from Jimeng’s belly unharmed, and Su Yi told her to lead the group into the city.

Ye Xiaxuan, Sun Wukong, and Su Yi entered Yincao Capital after Ye Xiaxuan cleaved its unprotected wall with one strike. Jimeng survived and fled, considering a mysterious offer of Sage-level power so he could take revenge.

• The demons let Su Yi and his companions pass after Sun Wukong defeated Jimeng, and the group approached Yincao Capital.
• A demonic cultivator warned Ye Xiaxuan that the city belonged to Demon Ancestor Luohou, but Ye Xiaxuan struck down the unprotected city wall with Soul Severing.
• Ye Xiaxuan learned from Soul Severing's spirit that Luohou was a Sage and realized the sword spirit had exaggerated its confidence in Sun Wukong's ability to defeat him.
• Ye Xiaxuan, Sun Wukong, and Su Yi entered the city while the demons tended to Jimeng, whose wounds healed enough for him to assume human form.
• Jimeng fled instead of pursuing the group and considered accepting a mysterious offer that could grant him the power of a Sage.
