Chapter Summaries

Ji Wuchang killed Yan Yuliang, Qin Hesheng, and the other men who had challenged him, then turned his attention to the ferocious beasts to collect their white beads. Nian Yuandie joined the attack, and the others began preparing to fight alongside her.

• Qin Hesheng and Yan Yuliang tried to appease Ji Wuchang with an apology and an offer of spirit stones, but he refused to spare them.
• Ji Wuchang used an exploding iron staff, the Immortal-Binding Rope, and his attacks to kill Yan Yuliang and Qin Hesheng, then burned the corpses and collected the storage rings.
• Ji Wuchang drew in the baleful Qi and remnant-soul power with the Great Seal of Ten Thousand Ferocities while the onlookers watched in fear.
• Ji Wuchang attacked the ferocious beasts with a sword strike and gathered several white beads.
• Nian Yuandie urged everyone to attack the beasts and fired three arrows that became white tigers and tore apart three of them.

Ji Wuchang and the others collected white beads from sixth-rank fierce beasts, which merged into silver beads and then a golden token marked “Medicine King Valley.” The token showed Ji Wuchang a blurred image of the Nine-Color Immortal Herb, leaving him with a glimpse of a rare treasure’s location.

• Several people tried to enter the gorge, but its lightning struck them and forced them to retreat.
• Ji Wuchang used the Great Void Phantom Technique to evade attacks and killed more sixth-rank fierce beasts while collecting their white beads.
• Nian Yuandie merged ten white beads into a silver bead and learned it contained a secret-realm map, realizing Ji Wuchang had concealed the source of his map.
• An old man revealed how white beads merged into silver beads, prompting the crowd to attack the fierce beasts for them.
• Ji Wuchang merged enough beads to form a golden token bearing the words “Medicine King Valley.”
• The token showed Ji Wuchang a blurred image of the Nine-Color Immortal Herb, which Ji Yaoyao had described as an herb that could turn a good-for-nothing into a cultivation genius.

After obtaining a golden bead that revealed rare medicinal ingredients and a map to a palace, Ji Wuchang left the beast-filled valley and offered to escort others through its deadly lightning gorge for a fee. He led twenty-seven people through while absorbing the lightning to strengthen himself.

• Ji Wuchang saw the golden bead reveal the Heavenly Dragon Mystic Lotus, the Nine-Color Immortal Herb, human-shaped ginseng, and a map showing a palace deep in the secret realm.
• Ji Wuchang stopped fighting the ferocious beasts and invited others to cross the lightning gorge with him, asking each person for five hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones and promising a map.
• After Ji Wuchang withstood the gorge’s lightning unharmed, the group paid him, and all twenty-seven people followed him into the valley as hundreds of ferocious beasts gathered behind them.
• Ji Wuchang endured the lightning and channeled it into his Purple Mansion, where the Thunder Dragon devoured it, while the Divine Soul Dao Platform consumed lightning entering his soul sea.

Ji Wuchang reached an ancient tower surrounded by the Eight Methods Cloud-Reversing Formation and joined seven cultivators preparing to activate it. Unaware that the formation would consume one of them as a sacrifice, he pressed his palm to the formation with the others.

• After escaping the lightning, Ji Wuchang flew into the secret realm's second region and found a tower-shaped structure.

• A woman from the Fire Phoenix Sect explained that the formation could open a passage to another region, while concealing its deadly sacrifice.
• The eight cultivators pressed their palms against the formation to activate it.

• Eight cultivators fed spiritual power into the Eight Methods Cloud-Reversing Formation, which rapidly drained them as its runes began to light up.

Ji Wuchang remained trapped in the Eight Methods Cloud-Reversing Formation with four Dao Severing Realm Seventh Level cultivators, while a mysterious mark in his soul absorbed their spiritual power. The mark erupted with a terrifying presence and swallowed the Fire Phoenix Mark, leaving Ji Wuchang facing an unknown upheaval.

• Hou Wuqing, the Fire Phoenix Sect woman, and another Dao Severing Realm Eighth Level elder escaped the formation through the spatial passage.
• The four remaining Dao Severing Realm Seventh Level cultivators tried to force Ji Wuchang to sacrifice himself, but he mocked them and continued absorbing their spiritual power.
• The four cultivators took pills and resolved to outlast Ji Wuchang as the formation drained them.
• The mysterious mark in Ji Wuchang's soul shook violently and drew spiritual power from both the formation and Ji Wuchang's body.
• The mark pulled the Fire Phoenix Mark from Ji Wuchang's Primordial Spirit and swallowed it into the purple river.

Ji Wuchang used a section of white bone to awaken the Fire Phoenix Marrow, which the mysterious mark absorbed along with the Fire Phoenix’s Primordial Spirit. As thunder struck the mark’s green leaf, Ji Wuchang awakened a trace of Bloodline Power, while the four Dao Severing Realm Seventh Level cultivators remained close to death.

• As the mysterious mark drained spiritual power from Ji Wuchang and the four nearby cultivators, Ji Wuchang brought a section of white bone into his sea of consciousness.
• The purple river drew purple Qi into the bone, releasing Fire Phoenix Marrow that transformed into a gigantic Fire Phoenix phantom.
• Purple chains bound the Fire Phoenix and dragged it into the purple river, where it vanished and left a green leaf behind.
• Thunderclouds gathered, and lightning struck the green leaf behind Ji Wuchang, turning the bolts into runes that strengthened its glow.
• The green leaf sent vitality into Ji Wuchang, awakening a trace of Bloodline Power that he sensed could multiply his strength.

Ji Wuchang awakened a trace of bloodline power after draining four enemies, then entered another formation and arrived at Medicine King Valley’s outer sect buildings. He found a group blocked by a barrier and recognized that the statues beyond it held traces of primordial spirit power, just as a man ordered him over.
