Chu Tiannan learned that the Heaven Dou Universe Nation would select only ten thousand geniuses for the Universe Genius Battle, but he welcomed the chance to compete rather than fearing elimination. Luo Xiangtian began explaining the Scholar Manor's rules as a purple token appeared before everyone.

• Devour Dog recalled how he had once encouraged his former master, Chaos, who feared competing against a billion geniuses.
• Devour Dog asked Chu Tiannan whether he feared failing to be selected for the Universe Genius Battle.
• Chu Tiannan said his conviction made him invincible and looked forward to gaining combat experience against geniuses across the human universe.
• Devour Dog was reassured by Chu Tiannan's confidence and reflected on how a strong mindset could let a genius unleash their full potential.
• Luo Xiangtian summoned a purple token engraved with the number ten and began explaining the Scholar Manor's rules.

Luo Xiangtian explained Scholar Manor’s point system and the contest for places in the Divine Kingdom’s genius selection. Chu Tiannan chose a region to target, then arrived at a mountain range where the housing areas offered different cultivation conditions.

• Luo Xiangtian explained that points could be earned in several ways and exchanged for goods from the Galaxy Kingdom’s treasury, while a star domain would cost several million points.
• Luo Xiangtian announced that the top 150 point earners would enter the Divine Kingdom’s genius selection and warned that faction battles could bring gains or losses.
• After the instructors left, Chu Tiannan studied the virtual map and selected a region as his starting target.
• Chu Tiannan reached a mountain range and sensed that its tiered housing areas offered varying amounts of Cosmic Qi.

Chu Tiannan explored the cultivation residences and discovered that the rooms with the densest Cosmic Qi cost far more points than he could afford, so he searched the free rooms at the mountain’s base. Just as he found an empty room and moved to claim it, someone attacked him from behind.

• Chu Tiannan compared the Cosmic Qi in the different residential areas and decided he needed to choose a room to improve his cultivation.
• Chu Tiannan read the room prices and found that summit rooms cost ten thousand points per day, while those halfway up the mountain cost a thousand.
• Chu Tiannan discovered that the rooms at the mountain’s foot were free and decided to claim one until he earned enough points to move.
• Chu Tiannan found an unoccupied room and prepared to press the claim button when a forceful gust swept in from behind to ambush him.

Chu Tiannan found an available house and was about to register as its new owner when a defiant young woman attacked him to claim it. The two matched each other’s strength, and as Chu Tiannan reached for the access platform again, she drew her sword and struck.

• Chu Tiannan found a vacant house left behind by its previous owner and prepared to verify his access rights.
• A young woman in white robes attacked Chu Tiannan and tried to press the house’s owner-identification platform.
• Chu Tiannan knocked her hand away, and their palms collided with enough force to send both of them stumbling back.
• Chu Tiannan asked the woman to find another house, but she insisted she wanted this one and offered to have his back if he gave it up.
• Chu Tiannan refused and reached for the access platform, but the woman drew her sword and attacked him again.

Chu Tiannan clashed with a lively girl who demanded that he give up his room and attacked him with lethal sword qi. He gained the upper hand, leaving her struggling to defend against his increasingly powerful sword strikes.

• The girl attacked Chu Tiannan as he approached the verification platform, and he blocked her sword qi with his Chaos Cloak.
• The girl demanded Chu Tiannan give her the room and launched another attack with her blue longsword.
• Chu Tiannan drew the Heaven-Deriving Sword and countered, then used the Shadowless Sword to unleash thirteen increasingly powerful sword rays.
• The girl deflected the first seven sword rays, but Chu Tiannan's tenth strike put her at a disadvantage.

Chu Tiannan and the lively girl clashed inside the Silver Capital's Scholar Manor, where their powerful attacks triggered the inner world's laws. After Devour Dog warned him that resisting would only intensify the pressure, Chu Tiannan stopped fighting the suppression.

• The lively girl struggled to block Chu Tiannan's escalating Shadowless Sword strikes and unleashed Water's Fury, Surging Waves against the thirteenth.
• Chu Tiannan's sword light collided with the girl's ocean waves, sending shock waves through the inner world while leaving the surrounding houses nearly undisturbed.
• The inner world's laws suppressed both fighters as their powerful techniques disrupted their control over their own strength.
• Devour Dog warned Chu Tiannan that a Star God Level expert was invincible inside their inner world and that resistance would make the suppression stronger.
• Chu Tiannan stopped resisting the pressure, astonishing the lively girl.

Chu Tiannan and a lively girl were caught in the Scholar Manor’s law suppression after she resisted it. The girl opened her eyes in Chu Tiannan’s arms, revealing an impish glint.

• Chu Tiannan stopped resisting the laws, and the pressure on him receded as golden markings appeared on his forehead.
• The lively girl resisted the law suppression with azure power, but it overwhelmed her and sent her flying toward Chu Tiannan.
• Chu Tiannan warned the girl to stop resisting, and she withdrew her mental resistance after crashing into his arms.
• An authoritative voice warned them that fighting in the Scholar Manor’s residential district would lead to suppression and expulsion.
• The girl abruptly opened her eyes in Chu Tiannan’s arms, looking sly rather than embarrassed.

Chu Tiannan and a cunning girl competed for the last wooden cabin, each using underhanded tactics to gain access. After Chu Tiannan bound her with his Chaos Cloak, she stopped fighting him for the cabin and proposed they share it.

• The girl struck Chu Tiannan with her Raging Waves Palm and rushed to claim the cabin.
• Chu Tiannan withstood the palm strike, then used his Chaos Cloak to bind the girl and prevent her from verifying access.
• The girl demanded a fair contest, but Chu Tiannan refused to release her.
• The girl stopped arguing over the cabin and proposed that they each take half.

Chu Tiannan and Xian'er argued over the only wooden cabin in the cultivation area, then agreed to share it. They left the cabin's defense system to authenticate them both by placing their hands together on its authorization platform.

• Chu Tiannan prepared to claim the cabin while Xian'er, whose hands were bound, offered money and then proposed sharing it.
• Chu Tiannan refused Xian'er's first offers and teased her by calling her a tigress.
• Xian'er promised not to play dirty, so Chu Tiannan released her with the Chaos Cloak and warned her to keep her word.
• Chu Tiannan asked how they would divide the cabin because its defense system could authenticate only one person.
• Xian'er placed Chu Tiannan's hand over hers and pressed both hands onto the authorization platform.

Chu Tiannan entered the human-grade cultivation room with Xian'er and discovered that it contained a vast space they could each arrange for cultivation. When Chu Tiannan's starry universe suppressed Xian'er's ocean domain, she unleashed a tsunami against him, but he remained undisturbed as he cultivated.

• The cultivation room's smart assistant welcomed Chu Tiannan, and Xian'er led him inside while holding his hand.
• Xian'er claimed one half of the room and warned Chu Tiannan not to cross the boundary.
• Chu Tiannan arranged his half as a starry galaxy, and its Law of Chaos suppressed Xian'er's ocean domain.
• Xian'er formed seals and sent towering waves against Chu Tiannan, who continued meditating without reacting.

Chu Tiannan cultivated in the starry universe while trying to comprehend the Law of Chaos, learning how the house supported cultivation. When he opened his eyes, his growing power disrupted Xian’er’s control of the waves, and she demanded that he rein in his divine ability.

• Chu Tiannan realized the house adapted to the law a person cultivated and supplied abundant Cosmic Qi for comprehension.
• Chu Tiannan struggled to understand the Law of Chaos, and Devour Dog reminded him that controlling the Chaos Current was already an advantage.
• Devour Dog worried that Chu Tiannan’s power was changing as he numbed himself through relentless cultivation.
• Chu Tiannan opened his eyes, causing the waves beside him to surge and Xian’er to struggle against his law power.
• Xian’er told Chu Tiannan that his law comprehension was suppressing her and demanded that he rein in his divine ability.

Chu Tiannan’s chaos power suppressed Xian’er’s ocean law, so he restrained it and resumed cultivating. While struggling to understand the Law of Chaos, he unexpectedly advanced to Galaxy Level Third Stage in the cabin cultivation area.

• Xian’er complained that Chu Tiannan’s law power was disrupting her cultivation, and he reined in much of the chaos currents in his galactic universe.
• Xian’er used her ocean Momentum to counterattack and slightly suppress Chu Tiannan’s universe before both returned to cultivating.
• Chu Tiannan struggled to find a clue to the Law of Chaos but accepted that it was difficult to comprehend.
• Chu Tiannan’s galactic universe shone as his Life Core strengthened, and he suddenly advanced to Galaxy Level Third Stage.
• Chu Tiannan wondered whether the cabin’s abundant Cosmic Qi had caused his rapid advancement.

After ten years of cultivation in the wooden cabin, Chu Tiannan advanced to galaxy level third stage and received 1,000 points. He browsed the available missions and settled on one at Spirit Vulture Mountain, though he had not yet accepted it.

• Chu Tiannan learned that ten years had passed while he cultivated, as Devour Dog explained how time could pass during secluded cultivation.
• Mi Ai announced that Chu Tiannan had advanced to galaxy level third stage and awarded him 1,000 points.
• Chu Tiannan considered how mission points could help him earn a place to cultivate higher on the mountain.
• Chu Tiannan left the cabin without disturbing Xian'er and checked the mission list on his purple token.
• Chu Tiannan reviewed several missions and focused on gathering Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass at Spirit Vulture Mountain for 10,000 points per stalk.

Chu Tiannan climbed Spirit Vulture Mountain to collect Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass, but the mountain’s scarce Cosmic Qi steadily suppressed his strength. As he neared the summit, Devour Dog spotted something unexpected.

• Chu Tiannan flew across the desolate snowy region and headed for Spirit Vulture Mountain to gather Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass for a generous mission reward.
• After landing, Chu Tiannan felt the mountain’s unusual sticking force and began climbing despite the scarce Cosmic Qi weakening him.
• Chu Tiannan spent the morning climbing halfway up the mountain, where his usable strength had fallen to Starry Sky Level.
• Devour Dog estimated that Chu Tiannan would be reduced to Starry Sky Level stage one or two near the summit, while Chu Tiannan noted that his physical toughness would protect him.
• Devour Dog suddenly fixed its gaze on something nearby and exclaimed in astonishment.

Chu Tiannan found Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass on a mountain cliff, but its flames destroyed his Chaos Power when he tried to take it. With less than seventy years before the Universe Genius Battle, he decided to risk picking the grass himself.

• The Devour Dog pointed out the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass, and Chu Tiannan recognized it from his field guide.
• Chu Tiannan sent a hand of Chaos Power toward the grass, but the red blade burned it away before the blue blade cooled its companion.
• Chu Tiannan realized the grass might have to be picked with bare hands and asked the Devour Dog how long remained before the Universe Genius Battle.
• The Devour Dog said there were close to seventy years left and explained that contestants would be assigned to groups based on their own level.
• Chu Tiannan decided to take the risk and flew toward the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass.

Chu Tiannan approached the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass and discovered that its ice and fire attacks yielded huge amounts of Devour Points. He drained its powers for points until the divine grass withered.

• Chu Tiannan flew within ten meters of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass, which turned toward him as if it had sensed him.
• The grass unleashed freezing winds and ice spikes, but Chu Tiannan destroyed and devoured them with the Heaven-Deriving Sword, gaining a hundred thousand Devour Points.
• The fire grass engulfed Chu Tiannan in a sea of flames, which the Heavenly Sin Hundred Streams drew in and devoured for more points.
• Chu Tiannan ordered the Heavenly Sin Hundred Streams to keep harassing the grass and drain its attacks instead of killing it quickly.
• After Chu Tiannan devoured its ice and fire attacks, the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass ran out of power and withered.

Chu Tiannan discovered that Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass varied in strength and often withered before he could harvest it, forcing him to abandon his plan to farm Devour Points. He moved away from a distant battle and managed to store one grass before it withered.

• Chu Tiannan accidentally drained a powerful Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass, which withered after yielding nine hundred thousand Devour Points.
• Chu Tiannan found a weaker Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass on the summit, but it withered after giving him only a little over ten thousand points.
• Chu Tiannan realized the grasses came in different grades and gave up on his plan to farm points.
• Chu Tiannan sensed a battle nearby and raced in the opposite direction to avoid it.
• Chu Tiannan stored an Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass just before it withered, then turned and slashed sword light behind him.

Chu Tiannan secured the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass on Spirit Vulture Mountain, then confronted the Azure Gang, who demanded he hand it over. When one of them threatened him, Chu Tiannan blasted the burly man into a snowdrift with Chaos Power.

• Chu Tiannan stored the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass in his spatial ring and headed toward another source of its fluctuations.
• A white-robed Galaxy Level Third Stage cultivator ambushed Chu Tiannan, but Chu Tiannan deflected the attack with his sword.
• The white-robed man and six or seven others revealed themselves as members of the Azure Gang from the Heavenly Timing District and demanded the grass.
• Chu Tiannan refused to hand over the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass, and the burly Azure Gang member threatened to injure him.
• Chu Tiannan unleashed Chaos Power and blasted the burly man into a snowdrift.

Chu Tiannan confronted Liu Hualong and the Azure Gang over the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass, defeating two of their members with his chaos qi. The chapter ended with Liu Hualong ordering the remaining men to attack Chu Tiannan together.

• Yu Hengwei tried to seize Chu Tiannan, but Chu Tiannan hurled him headfirst into the snow with chaos qi.
• Liu Hualong demanded that Chu Tiannan surrender the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass, sever an arm, and leave the mountain.
• Chu Tiannan demanded that the group leave their Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass behind, promising not to cripple them if they complied.
• A glasses-wearing young man mocked Chu Tiannan, who knocked him unconscious with a burst of chaos qi.
• Liu Hualong ordered his men to attack, and six powerful figures surrounded Chu Tiannan.

Chu Tiannan defeated Liu Hualong and the Azure Gang on Spirit Vulture Mountain, taking their Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass. After leaving the mountain, his power rebounded to the peak of Galaxy Level Fourth Stage, and he headed for the Moliang River faction battle.

• Chu Tiannan took the Azure Gang's sixty-eight stalks of Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Grass after overpowering and binding Liu Hualong and his men.
• Liu Hualong blamed his subordinates for their defeat and vowed to get revenge once his big brother left seclusion.
• Chu Tiannan left Spirit Vulture Mountain, and his Cosmic Qi surged back to full strength.
• Chu Tiannan discovered that his cultivation had risen to the peak of Galaxy Level Fourth Stage after a year of suppression.
• Chu Tiannan set off for the Moliang River faction battle.

Chu Tiannan stood at Moliang River, reflecting on how to strengthen his divine artifacts before the Universe Genius Battle. Three red beams suddenly attacked him from behind, leaving the attacker’s identity unknown.

• Chu Tiannan arrived at Moliang River, where the deadly current divided the faction war’s three combat zones.
• Devour Dog warned Chu Tiannan that the river could kill him and explained that the faction rules forbade allies from killing one another.
• Chu Tiannan planned to reach Galaxy Level Ninth Stage and upgrade the Heaven-Deriving Sword and Chaos Armor.
• Chu Tiannan heard that points could be seized from opponents in the faction war.
• Three red beams shot toward Chu Tiannan’s back.

Chu Tiannan mistakenly entered the Earthly Advantage District and fought Ofit, a cannon-wielding gunner. After surviving Ofit’s attack and defeating him with his sword, Chu Tiannan took some of his points and returned the token.

• Chu Tiannan blocked Ofit’s Vulcan Cannon and learned that he had entered the Earthly Advantage District after reading his map upside down.
• Ofit fired again, and Chu Tiannan appeared to be caught in the blast, but he had evaded it.
• Chu Tiannan attacked from above with thirteen streaks of Shadowless Sword qi and trapped Ofit.
• Ofit surrendered his token, and Chu Tiannan took some of his points before returning it.

Chu Tiannan defeated Ofit and took half his points, then reflected on how the Chaos Cloak had saved him from a dangerous shot. With 1.2 million points, he set his sights on the stronger cultivators at the summit, knowing his limited experience with laws was his greatest weakness.

• Chu Tiannan transferred half of Ofit's points to his token and praised Ofit's skill before returning the token.
• Ofit conceded and asked why Chu Tiannan had left him half a million points; Chu Tiannan said he respected him for owning up to his actions.
• As Chu Tiannan flew away, he thanked the Chaos Cloak for pulling him clear of Ofit's shot and preventing an injury.
• Chu Tiannan considered how he could use his 1.2 million points to cultivate at the summit and catch up with the strongest figures there.
• Chu Tiannan recognized that his limited time comprehending laws left him at a disadvantage against long-established geniuses.

Chu Tiannan flew deeper into the Earthly Advantage District, determined to become powerful enough to resurrect his loved ones and win Luo'er’s family’s respect. He sensed a familiar presence and hurried toward a battle, where a white-clad girl was trapped by three members of the Galaxy Kingdom’s imperial family.

• Chu Tiannan reflected on his journey from Earth and vowed to bring his family, Nana, and companions back to life.
• Chu Tiannan recalled that Luo'er was a princess of a cosmic divine kingdom and resolved to cultivate until no one could look down on him.
• Chu Tiannan sensed several Cosmic Qi fluctuations in a distant valley and recognized one as familiar, so he flew toward the fight in search of points.
• Three young men from the Galaxy Kingdom's imperial family trapped a white-clad girl in their Purple Wind Matrix while she attacked with her blue-green longsword.
• The sinister-looking young man told the injured girl to surrender her token and claimed she could leave if she stopped resisting.

Chu Tiannan arrived to rescue Xian'er after Luo Jitian and two princes trapped her in the Purple Wind Matrix. He confronted Luo Jitian and told Xian'er to step back while he dealt with them.

• Luo Jitian and the two princes cornered Xian'er inside the Purple Wind Matrix and threatened to take her points.
• Chu Tiannan tore open the formation with chaos energy and descended in front of Xian'er.
• Chu Tiannan taunted Luo Jitian about his character and his chances of reaching the throne.
• Chu Tiannan recognized Xian'er, teased her for losing to the princes, and told her to step back while he dealt with them.
