Chapter Summaries

Reborn before Muye City’s family competition, Ji Wuchang awakened a Sign-In and Copy System and used it to raise his cultivation. Remembering how Xiao Fan defeated him and how An Kexin sabotaged his recovery, he entered the city determined to take revenge and approach every opponent with full seriousness.

• Ji Wuchang recalled his previous life, when Xiao Fan defeated him in the competition, rose to become a Saint Son, and eventually became a Quasi-Saint.

• Ji Wuchang entered Muye City, five days before the competition, ready to face his enemies.

In Muye City’s northern market, Ji Wuchang ran into Xiao Fan and used his system to copy and master Xiao Fan’s Thunder Explosion Fist. He prepared to defeat Xiao Fan with the same technique and planned to leave the Ji Family after repaying it by winning their match.

Ji Wuchang returned to the Ji Family and accepted their thousand-year-old ginseng to prepare for the family competition. After refining it, he broke through to the peak of the fifth layer of Qi Refining.

• Ji Wuchang swallowed the ginseng’s concentrated essence and advanced to the peak of the fifth layer of Qi Refining.

Ji Wuchang began cultivating the Purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art and found that it suited him far better than it had in his previous life. After telling Ji Ping and Ji Cheng that he had reached the fourth layer of Qi Refining, he watched Xiao Mei leave with a cold smile.

Ji Wuchang followed Xiao Mei and watched Xiao Fan leave the Bai Family after failing to obtain its lightning-attribute gauntlets. He then visited Bai Yanshan to ask for the gauntlets and used his cultivation to pressure the Bai Family head and his son when Bai Yanshan claimed they were promised to Xiao Fan.

• Ji Wuchang followed Xiao Mei to a spot near the Bai Family and watched Xiao Fan leave the residence with an ugly expression.

• Ji Wuchang cultivated the Purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art, endured the pain as it expelled impurities, and felt his body grow stronger.

• Ji Wuchang recognized Xiao Fan in the auction hall and resolved to take the opportunity Xiao Fan had found.
• Liu Dandan opened the auction with a flawed water-attribute porcelain-bottle artifact, which sold for 150 low-grade spirit stones.

Ji Wuchang and Ji Ping outbid Xiao Fan for a bogwood box that may conceal a secret map, then Ji Wuchang recognized the Thunder Spirit Pearl as the weapon Xiao Fan had used against him in his previous life. The chapter leaves Ji Wuchang bidding aggressively to claim the pearl for himself.

• Ji Wuchang noticed Xiao Fan's interest in the bogwood box and watched as Ji Ping joined the bidding.

• Ji Wuchang bid one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones for the Thunder Spirit Pearl.

He replaced the map with one depicting a deadly secret realm from his past life and gave the box to Xiao Mei and Xiaohe to pass to Xiao Fan, leaving his trap in motion.

• Ji Wuchang outbid Xiao Fan for the Thunder Spirit Pearl at two hundred and ten low-grade Spirit Stones, and Xiao Fan left the auction furious.

• Ji Wuchang replaced the map with one of a deadly secret realm he had explored before, then resealed the box so no one would notice his tampering.
• The next morning, Ji Wuchang gave the box to Xiao Mei and Xiaohe and told them to study it and return it within two days.
• Outside Ji Wuchang’s room, Xiao Mei suggested that she and Xiaohe take turns studying the box, while Ji Wuchang smiled at the plan.

Ji Wuchang strengthened his cultivation and movement skills while preparing for the Muye City clan competition. The system issued its first mission: defeat Xiao Fan overwhelmingly and change his fate.

Ji Wuchang returned to the Longevity Sect, gained ten years of cultivation from a check-in, and advanced to mid Qi Refining seventh layer. Back on Little Bamboo Peak, he reunited with his senior brothers and sisters while learning that his master was still in seclusion.

Ji Wuchang cultivated his body and gained six years of cultivation before agreeing to train in the back mountains with Zeng Linghong. Meanwhile, Xiao Fan joined the Longevity Sect without Tang Yiyuan as his master, and Xiao Xueqing decided to leave Ji Wuchang alone for now because he was too difficult to kill.

• Ji Wuchang resolved to pursue the tenth layer of Qi Refining and ten flawless Dao platforms, then cultivated the purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art through the night and tempered his body at sunrise.

• Zeng Linghong invited Ji Wuchang to train in the back mountains, and Ji Wuchang eagerly accepted, hoping to reach a secret realm before anyone else.

• Xiao Xueqing dismissed the idea of killing Ji Wuchang after learning he carried a sixth-grade Teleportation Talisman, and she and the old woman left to return home, leaving Xiao Fan to fate.

• Zeng Linghong fought the third-rank Hunting Fox, which wounded his left arm despite his sword attacks and inner armor.
• Ji Wuchang prepared to unleash the Purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art to save Zeng Linghong, but a sword strike from above pierced the Hunting Fox's skull.
• Zeng Linghong and Ji Wuchang greeted Zhen Miaoqing, who warned them that fierce beasts were fleeing the back mountains and told them to return to the sect.

• Ji Wuchang watched Zeng Linghong leave, then chose a direction and continued searching for the secret-realm treasures.
