Chapter Summaries

Su Yi cut a piece from the five-patterned giant python and cooked its skin while Xiao Wenyu watched and ate. After giving Xiao Wenyu ancient jade nectar, Su Yi had him practice the Li Fire Art, and Xiao Wenyu quickly improved.

• Su Yi used a kitchen knife to sever a section of the five-patterned giant python's tail, astonishing the python with how easily he pierced its defenses.
• Su Yi roasted the python's skin with divine fire, seasoned it, and served it to Xiao Wenyu.
• Xiao Wenyu ate the snakeskin and swore to stay by Su Yi's side and become as powerful as him.

• Xiao Wenyu tested the Li Fire Art on the python, and Su Yi taught him to form spells through thought rather than relying on hand seals.
• Xiao Wenyu continued practicing while Su Yi prepared the snake meat.

Su Yi helped Xiao Wenyu improve his mental power by having him repeatedly cast the Li Fire Technique, then fed him stir-fried Five-Flower Giant Python meat. Meanwhile, Xu Diandian, Wang Xiu, and the Human Clan’s powerhouses cleared the mysterious tower in the Gate of Evolution and returned to Spirit Wood Town with its treasures, where Wang Xiu confronted Su Yi about his hidden strength.

• Xiao Wenyu repeatedly cast the Li Fire Technique until his mental power broke through, then sat down to eat with Su Yi.
• Ji Zeyang, Lin Yiyun, and the other Human Clan powerhouses joined Xu Diandian and Wang Xiu, helping them clear the tower and collect its treasures.
• Su Yi sent Xu Diandian and the others out of the Gate of Evolution and back to the Spirit Wood Town base.
• Xu Diandian told Su Yi she planned to give the tower’s treasures to Town Chief Huang, though she ate some Crimson Flame Vermilion Fruits first.
• Wang Xiu realized Su Yi had left the Gate of Evolution ahead of everyone else and accused him of fooling him, but Su Yi said he had never lied.

Su Yi refused to kill the mutant beasts, saying he had no desire to fight, while Wang Xiu struggled to understand his reasoning. At a meeting to distribute the treasures recovered from the Gate of Evolution, Lin Yiyun proposed using them to reward cultivators and ability users who helped humanity.

• Wang Xiu asked Su Yi to compare his strength with Xu Diandian's master, and Su Yi said he was slightly stronger in combat.
• Wang Xiu asked why Su Yi would not resolve the mutant-beast crisis, and Su Yi told him to get lost before leaving with Xu Diandian.
• Huang Changyu gathered the Human Ranking powerhouses to discuss how to distribute the treasures brought back from the Gate of Evolution.
• Lin Yiyun suggested storing the treasures at the Spirit Wood Town base and letting cultivators and ability users earn them with contribution points for fighting mutant beasts or rescuing civilians.

Lin Yiyun laid out a plan for using treasures from the Gate of Evolution to motivate immortal cultivators to hunt mutant beasts and train new talent. Huang Changyu, impressed by her strategy, offered her a position at the base, and she accepted.

• Huang Changyu and the others approved Lin Yiyun's proposal to use treasures to encourage immortal cultivators to fight mutant beasts.

• When someone worried that powerful experts might raid the base, Lin Yiyun and the others relied on Su Yi and the gathered powerhouses to deter them.
• Lin Yiyun proposed requiring cultivators to train government-approved disciples before earning access to additional cultivation methods and formations.
• Huang Changyu offered Lin Yiyun a position at the base, and she accepted.

Lin Yiyun’s proposals for managing the treasures and attracting cultivators were approved, and Spirit Wood Town prepared to trade its collected treasures for mutant beast crystals. Su Yi, Wang Xiu, and Xu Diandian went to look through the collection, where Xu Diandian received praise for handing over her treasures.

• Lin Yiyun presented plans for storing and trading the treasures, and Huang Changyu reported them to his superiors, who approved the proposals.
• Wang Xiu refused to select more treasures at first, revealing that he had already kept fifteen items and other rewards from the challenge.
• Huang Changyu invited Wang Xiu to choose more treasures, and Su Yi joined him and Xu Diandian in returning to the collection.
• Xu Diandian said she had handed over everything because she promised Mayor Huang, then eagerly sought his praise.
• Huang Changyu promised Xu Diandian a certificate of merit, a silk banner, and an honorary certificate, and Su Yi offered to find the little bowl she liked.

Su Yi accompanied Huang Changyu and Ji Zeyang into the base's storeroom, where Ji Zeyang claimed the Houyi Divine Bow as his own. Xu Diandian led Su Yi to the bowl she wanted, and he remembered its ancient origins and the hundreds of beast heads he had carved onto it.

• Ji Zeyang told Huang Changyu the storeroom needed a defensive formation and offered to set one up.
• The group entered the storeroom and found Su Yi's collection of powerful treasures gathered together.
• Ji Zeyang picked up the Houyi Divine Bow, believing it had acknowledged him, while Su Yi knew its spirit had asked for another master.
• Su Yi asked Xu Diandian to show him the bowl she had chosen, and she led him deeper into the storeroom.
• Su Yi recognized the bowl he had made and used for tens of thousands of Dao Years, decorated with more than five hundred carved beast heads.

Su Yi revealed that Xu Diandian’s unassuming bowl was a supreme treasure, despite its artifact spirit claiming it was only useful for eating. The bowl spirit, whom Xu Diandian named Little Flower, drove the Green Duckweed Sword’s spirit to realize how badly it had underestimated the bowl.

• Su Yi summoned the bowl’s white-mist artifact spirit and let it explain itself to Xu Diandian.
• Xu Diandian named the spirit Little Flower, who said it could be used for eating and happily accepted her choice.
• The Green Duckweed Sword’s spirit urged Xu Diandian to choose other treasures and mocked the bowl, recommending the Soul-Devouring Bell instead.
• Little Flower unleashed an overwhelming aura that nearly shattered the Green Duckweed Sword and forced its spirit to recognize its mistake.
• Su Yi’s carved beast heads and tens of thousands of years using the bowl had made it a supreme treasure containing the power of the Great Dao.

Xu Diandian chose an unassuming bowl whose aura frightened the Green Duckweed Sword, though the bowl insisted the other artifacts were simply too weak. With her choice made, Wang Xiu asked Su Yi to help him select a treasure, and Su Yi pointed him toward a chipped inkstone.

• The Green Duckweed Sword's spirit begged Su Yi for help when Little Flower suppressed it, then apologized and retreated into the sword.
• Xu Diandian asked whether Little Flower was powerful, and Little Flower said the other artifact spirits were simply too weak.
• Xu Diandian admired the bowl's carvings of ancient beasts, which Little Flower regarded as food, and decided to take the bowl.
• Wang Xiu asked Su Yi to help him choose a treasure, and Su Yi pointed out a plain inkstone with a chipped corner.

Su Yi encouraged Wang Xiu to take an ancient inkstone and brush from the storehouse, suggesting that cultivating his sensibilities could help him advance. Wang Xiu trusted Su Yi and chose the two items, while Su Yi left without taking anything.

• Wang Xiu examined Su Yi’s ancient inkstone, and its artifact spirit appeared and explained that it was meant for grinding ink, not smashing people.
• Su Yi advised Wang Xiu to practice calligraphy and painting to improve his state of mind, and offered him a worn brush as well as the inkstone.
• Wang Xiu accepted Su Yi’s advice and chose the inkstone and brush, declining to take anything else from the storehouse.
• Huang Changyu invited Su Yi to choose three items, but Su Yi declined, saying he had only come to look around.

Wang Xiu discovered that painting with the brush Su Yi chose for him greatly strengthened his mental power, while humanity spent three years gaining ground against mutant beasts. Su Yi began teaching Star Arts to Xiao Wenyu and Xu Diandian as powerful cultivators from small worlds seemed poised to descend.

• Wang Xiu painted an ancient landscape under the brush’s guidance and found that his mental world had expanded dramatically.
• Humans used new cultivation methods and weapons to hunt mutant beasts, and over three years their bases grew stronger and more stable.
• Su Yi observed that humanity might reclaim Earth if it avoided provoking the strongest mutant beasts.
• Su Yi offered to teach Xiao Wenyu Star Arts, and Xu Diandian joined them to learn the technique.
• Su Yi explained that Star Arts used the stars to foresee events and attack, and considered letting Xiao Wenyu and Xu Diandian face the expected newcomers.

Su Yi taught Xu Diandian and Xiao Wenyu the basics of Star Numeration, then let Xu Diandian face Ye Ling, a chief god who had come to conquer Earth. After Ye Ling threatened Xu Diandian, she prepared to fight him.

• Su Yi explained how Star Numeration drew on the power and movements of distant stars, and Xu Diandian and Xiao Wenyu tried sensing the stars.
• Xiao Wenyu hurt himself attempting to draw on the moon's power, so Su Yi told him to observe the stars until his cultivation was stronger.
• Xu Diandian sensed the stars with the help of her magical bowl as Ye Ling appeared in the sky and scanned Earth.
• Ye Ling declared himself Great Emperor Yecang, found Xu Diandian to be the world's strongest cultivator, and offered to take her as his disciple.
• Xu Diandian refused Ye Ling's offer, and Su Yi told her to beat him up because he had come to cause trouble.
• Ye Ling laughed at Xu Diandian and unleashed his divine sense to destroy her.

Ye Ling attacked Xu Diandian but was overwhelmed by the beast spirits inside Little Pagoda, leaving him at Su Yi’s mercy. Su Yi arranged for Ye Ling to spar with Xu Diandian and another companion, while Tongtian emerged from seclusion and Xu Diandian struggled to choose an ordinary weapon.

• Ye Ling attacked Xu Diandian with his divine sense, but Little Flower and the ancient beast spirits protecting her stopped him and injured his divine spark.
• Su Yi refused to let Ye Ling leave and told him to suppress his cultivation and fight Xu Diandian, then Su Yi’s companion.
• Ye Ling challenged Su Yi instead, but Su Yi said Ye Ling should fight the others first and warned he might accidentally kill him.
• Su Yi sensed Tongtian had come out of seclusion while Xu Diandian asked whether she could avoid fighting.
• Su Yi told Xu Diandian to practice without Little Pagoda, and she put away the Green Duckweed Sword and Chaos Pearl before taking out the Ten Thousand Divine Lamps.

Su Yi arranged a weaponless fight between Xu Diandian and Ye Ling, restricting Ye Ling’s cultivation to match hers. Xu Diandian’s ice techniques and stellar power failed to stop Ye Ling, who used teleportation to beat her into a crater.

• Su Yi suggested that Xu Diandian and Ye Ling fight without weapons and restricted Ye Ling to the Eighth Heaven of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
• Ye Ling asked Xu Diandian to suppress her cultivation, while she mistakenly took him for a fool and demanded that he shrink to her height.
• Xu Diandian bound Ye Ling with ice chains, but he melted them with his World-Destroying Fire.
• Xu Diandian used hidden treasures to channel the Milky Way’s stellar power and summoned another set of ice chains.
• Ye Ling teleported behind Xu Diandian, punched and stomped her, and knocked her into a huge crater.

Ye Ling defeated Xu Diandian in a fistfight, but she nearly attacked him with the Green Duckweed Sword before Su Yi made her honor their rules. Xiao Wenyu then challenged Ye Ling and was quickly beaten, leaving the outcome of his fight uncertain.

• Ye Ling overwhelmed Xu Diandian by interrupting her hand seals with a barrage of punches.
• Xu Diandian drew the Green Duckweed Sword, but Su Yi stopped her and ruled that she had lost for breaking their agreement.
• Su Yi reminded Xu Diandian to keep her word, and she admitted her mistake and returned to his side.
• Xiao Wenyu flew up to challenge Ye Ling after Su Yi promised to suppress their cultivation to the same level.
• Ye Ling knocked Xiao Wenyu down within half a minute, leaving him badly injured and barely breathing.

Ye Ling challenged Su Yi, but Sect Leader Tongtian appeared and forced him into a fight with Su Yi instead. As Su Yi prepared to face Ye Ling, his sudden movement left Ye Ling questioning what he was capable of.

• Ye Ling challenged Su Yi, and Sect Leader Tongtian appeared, revealing Xu Diandian was his disciple.
• Sect Leader Tongtian proposed that Ye Ling fight Su Yi, promising to let him leave alive if he won.
• Ye Ling accepted the challenge, chose his painted halberd, and agreed to fight without suppressing his cultivation.
• Su Yi borrowed a wooden sword from Xiao Yu and told Ye Ling to use everything he had.
• Su Yi appeared in front of Ye Ling so suddenly that Ye Ling wondered whether he had used the Law of Space or incredible speed.

Su Yi effortlessly defeated Ye Ling to demonstrate the gap in their strength, then turned his attention to Sect Leader Tongtian. The chapter ended with Tongtian facing a test of how much he had improved.

• Sect Leader Tongtian praised Ye Ling for daring to challenge Su Yi, and Su Yi told Ye Ling to attack.
• Ye Ling used his painted halberd, spells, and teleportation against Su Yi, but Su Yi dodged his attacks and trapped him with ice chains.
• Su Yi broke Ye Ling’s halberd with his wooden sword and killed him with a single strike.
• Xu Diandian and the base staff watched Su Yi’s victory on satellite screens, while Su Yi felt the fight had taught little because Ye Ling was too weak.
• Su Yi greeted the returning Sect Leader Tongtian, then pointed his wooden sword at him and demanded to see how much he had improved.

Su Yi took Sect Leader Tongtian to a desolate universe to test his new Hunyuan strength, while Tongtian’s senior brothers watched. Su Yi entered Tongtian’s Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and began dismantling it properly, leaving Tongtian encouraged by the respect.

• Su Yi brought Sect Leader Tongtian to a desolate universe and told him to show how much his strength had improved.
• Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Celestial Venerable of the Dao and Virtue arrived to watch as Tongtian summoned the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the formation diagram.
• The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords trembled with fear, but Tongtian threatened them until they formed a small world around Su Yi.
• Su Yi suppressed his cultivation to Tongtian’s level and endured the formation’s sword qi, praising Tongtian when his sword aura began to crack.
• Su Yi targeted the Immortal-Slaying Sword to unravel the formation corner by corner, and Tongtian grew excited that Su Yi was treating his formation with respect.

Su Yi effortlessly captured the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and broke Sect Leader Tongtian’s formation, after which Tongtian asked to stay in the Origin World. Back in Spirit Wood Town, Su Yi agreed to accompany Huaxia’s planned expansion, while insisting he would not clear the dangers for them himself.

• Su Yi filled the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation with clones and captured all four swords, breaking the formation without destroying them.
• Sect Leader Tongtian returned the swords and asked to remain in the Origin World, but Su Yi told him to stay away; Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Celestial Venerable of the Dao and Virtue then departed.
• Xu Diandian rescued Xiao Wenyu and healed his injuries, and Su Yi reassured Xiao Wenyu that his poor performance came from a lack of combat experience.
• Huang Changyu told Su Yi that Huaxia planned to expand from Spirit Wood Town and invited him to join; Su Yi agreed, while making clear he would not defeat every mutated beast for them.

As Huaxia began its counteroffensive, Su Yi took his ten beast-taming students outside the base for training and foraging. He made the weak Liao Ruimao face an A-Rank Rosemary Snake, and Liao trapped it with his prepared equipment.

• Spirit Wood Town's gates opened as Huaxia's counteroffensive began, and Su Yi led his ten students beyond the base.
• Su Yi told the students they would have to fend for themselves and pointed out Qinan Grass, drawing their attention to the Rosemary Snake that guarded it.
• Su Yi ordered the students to leave the young A-Rank Rosemary Snake to Liao Ruimao, despite his low cultivation.
• Liao Ruimao advanced through the snake's poisonous mist, then caught it in a steel net fired from his gauntlet.
• Liao sprayed realgar powder over the trapped Rosemary Snake.

Su Yi remembered that he had neglected his wife Ye Xiaxuan for five years and discovered she was being hunted across the Immortal Realm. He went to find her, and Ye Xiaxuan recognized him and tearfully clung to him.

• Liao Ruimao sprinkled realgar on a lively rosemary snake, and Su Yi explained that the powder only disgusted it before making Liao deal with the snake himself.
• Su Yi remembered that he had not contacted Ye Xiaxuan in nearly five years and used his divine sense to find her hiding from immortals and demons.
• Su Yi realized he had ordered the Immortal Realm to hunt Ye Xiaxuan and arrange eighty-one tribulations, while the Black Water Mystic Nether Great Emperor had captured Sun Wukong and the others.
• Su Yi told Li Youyou to watch over the students and teleported from Earth to Lin Yuan City in the Immortal Realm.
• Su Yi called out to Ye Xiaxuan in disguise, and she recognized him, threw herself into his arms, and cried that she thought he no longer wanted her.
