Chapter Summaries

Lin Shen, Ouyang Yudu, and Wei Wufu searched the ruined planet for a Teleportation Device and found temples named after figures from human mythology. The repeated similarities convinced Lin Shen that the planet was connected to humanity, and the chapter ended when they discovered a Mystic Bird Temple and Fei Zai reacted to it.

• Lin Shen and his companions left Nüwa Temple and found a fallen plaque identifying the next ruin as Pangu Temple.
• Ouyang Yudu confirmed that the planet was not the Human Mother Star, despite the Nüwa and Pangu temples.
• Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu inspected Pangu Temple and found its main-hall statue hanging from the beams.
• The three reached Kuafu Temple, where Ouyang Yudu noticed that the temples' main halls remained intact and their statues had been hung up.
• Lin Shen and his companions found a more intact temple marked Mystic Bird Temple, and Fei Zai poked his head out of the backpack and stared at it in confusion.

Lin Shen and his companions explored the Mystic Bird Temple and discovered an ancient human corpse hanging in its main hall. When Lin Shen removed it from the rope, the corpse burst into flames, leaving behind an undamaged piece of silk.

• Ouyang Yudu explained the legend of Mystic Bird Gives Birth to Shang and offered possible human explanations for it.
• Lin Shen, Ouyang Yudu, and Wei Wufu found an elderly human corpse disguised as an idol in the temple's main hall.
• Lin Shen found an inscribed jade Stone Tablet on the corpse, and Ouyang Yudu identified its writing as an ancient form of human script.
• Lin Shen removed the corpse from its rope, causing it to ignite and burn to ashes.
• Ouyang Yudu uncovered a palm-sized piece of silk among the ashes, untouched by the fire.

Lin Shen and his companions found a love letter to Jian Di and a jade Stone Tablet in the Mystic Bird Temple, then entered the Golden Crow Temple while feeling watched by an unseen presence. Fei Zai took an ancient bow from the temple wall and gave it to Lin Shen before going back to sleep.

• Ouyang Yudu identified the tiny writing on the silk as a love letter addressed to Jian Di, while the three learned only that the jade Stone Tablet included the character for “command.”
• After leaving the Mystic Bird Temple, Lin Shen, Ouyang Yudu, and Fei Zai felt watched until they neared another temple, and Lin Shen suspected the sensation had begun because he took the corpse.
• The three entered the better-preserved Golden Crow Temple, found no Teleportation Device, and saw a humanoid statue and an ancient bow hanging on the wall.
• Fei Zai flew to the wall, pulled down the bow, and threw it to Lin Shen before returning to his backpack to sleep.

After leaving the Golden Crow Temple, Lin Shen, Ouyang Yudu, and Wei Wufu searched the temples for a Teleportation Device and witnessed terrifying spirits appear across the night sky. Their bow, token, and kerchief protected them from creatures lurking in the darkness, but an enormous golden claw descended into their light.

• Lin Shen realized that taking objects from temples triggered the sensation of being watched, and he continued searching with Ouyang Yudu and Wei Wufu.
• The three searched numerous temples, avoided taking anything else, and failed to find a Teleportation Device before night fell.
• Multicolored pillars rose from temples and transformed into countless fearsome spirit phantoms that stared down at the three before vanishing.
• Lin Shen's bow, the jade Stone Tablet, and Ouyang Yudu's kerchief began to glow as terrifying footsteps and creatures surrounded them in the darkness.
• The glowing items repelled countless arms that emerged from the earth, but an enormous golden claw descended into their illuminated space.

Lin Shen, Ouyang Yudu, and Wei Wufu survived a night surrounded by terrifying creatures using the items they had taken from temples. When daylight returned, the sun rose from a different direction than it had set, strengthening Ouyang Yudu’s suspicion that it was something other than a real sun.

• A golden claw pressed Lin Shen and the others to the ground, but Lin Shen’s bow released Cold Light that pierced it and drove back the creatures in the darkness.
• Ouyang Yudu suspected the planet contained an Immortal Land and said the creatures might be immortal beings; he also linked the attacking claw to a Golden Crow and the temples whose items they had taken.
• Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu wondered whether the strange sun was a special creature, noting that the planet had no visible moon or stars and became dark as soon as the sun set.
• After more than a day, the sun rose from the opposite direction, and Lin Shen agreed it might not be a real sun before suggesting they find the Teleportation Device.

Lin Shen, Ouyang Yudu, and Wei Wufu searched the shrines for a Teleportation Device and found a human monk named Salvation at the magnificent Golden Buddha Temple. They stayed there for the night, but the temple’s strange appearance and Salvation’s mysterious past left them uneasy.

• Lin Shen, Ouyang Yudu, and Wei Wufu searched numerous damaged shrines but found no Teleportation Device.
• The three reached Golden Buddha Temple, where Salvation opened the gate and introduced himself as its only monk.
• Salvation let Lin Shen and the others stay overnight after saying he could not guide them out of the maze.
• Lin Shen and his companions found no Teleportation Device in the Golden Buddha Hall and heard that the Buddha had raised Salvation from childhood.
• Salvation warned the three to remain in the courtyard, and Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu suspected that Golden Buddha Temple did not originally belong on the planet.

Lin Shen, Wei Wufu, and Ouyang Yudu discovered that the Golden Buddha Temple’s light and Buddha Fruits caused their life bases to gain rebirths. After Salvation Master showed them the Buddha Fruit Tree and demonstrated his power, they were left wondering what level he had reached.

• The temple’s golden light caused Lin Shen’s Inheritance Fan to advance to eight transformations, while Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu noticed their rebirth counts had increased.
• Salvation Master brought the three Buddha Fruits, and eating one caused Lin Shen’s Inheritance Fan to reach nine transformations.
• Salvation Master led the group to a Buddha Fruit Tree growing in a pool of extraordinarily gentle energy.
• Lin Shen asked Salvation Master about his cultivation level, and Salvation Master said he had possessed a Gene Mutation Carapace and life base for as long as he could remember.
• Salvation Master restored a dead branch to life with golden light, leaving Lin Shen uncertain whether the power was a Nirvana Attribute.

Lin Shen and his companions learned from Salvation Master about an ancient shrine beneath the pool, where Old Iron may have disappeared and a radiant figure emerged. Lin Shen suspected the shrine was a Gene Mutation Land and asked Salvation Master to take them down to investigate.

• Salvation Master grew a Buddha Fruit Tree with his chanting and told Lin Shen he had rarely met outsiders.
• Salvation Master described two earlier visitors: one who resembled Lin Shen and another whose face was half human and half iron, whom Lin Shen recognized as Old Iron.
• Salvation Master said Old Iron vanished from the backyard without leaving, and he suspected Old Iron had gone down into the pool.
• Salvation Master revealed that a nearly bottomless pool led to an ancient shrine with eight pillars and strange beast statues, and that a radiant figure had once emerged from it.
• Lin Shen suspected the shrine was a Gene Mutation Land that had nurtured many immortal creatures and asked Salvation Master to take them to see it.

Lin Shen, Wei Wufu, Ouyang Yudu, and Salvation Master descended through the Buddha Fruit Tree’s energy-rich pool and found an ancient temple beneath it. Inside, they discovered clay braziers that appeared to be gestating terrifying creatures, including a fetus-like phantom and a winged tiger.

• Lin Shen, Wei Wufu, and Ouyang Yudu followed Salvation Master into the pool and descended through increasingly dense energy.
• Lin Shen’s bow and the tokens and scarves carried by Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yudu kept the water at bay, allowing them to fly underwater and keep pace with Salvation Master.
• The group found an ancient temple beneath the pool, and Lin Shen brought Salvation Master into their protective bubble so they could explore together.
• They entered a mud-brick house and found a brazier burning underwater, with flames forming a terrifying fetus-like phantom.
• In a second house, they found another brazier whose flames formed a more powerful-looking phantom of a winged tiger.

Lin Shen and his companions explored the ancient temple, finding no Teleportation Device until they discovered a well called the Moon Reflection Well. Lin Shen read its inscription and learned that the temple’s seventeen braziers held an extraordinary Immortal Land, with one flame nurturing an unknown higher-grade immortal creature.

• Lin Shen, Salvation Master, Ouyang Yudu, and Wei Wufu inspected the temple’s braziers and found flames that had nurtured terrifying phantoms with differing attributes.
• Lin Shen examined the eight stone pillars while Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yudu searched for a Teleportation Device, but they found neither a device nor any clues about how Old Iron had left.
• Ouyang Yudu led Lin Shen and Wei Wufu to a stone well, where they noticed water beneath the surrounding water and a moon reflected in it.
• Lin Shen read the Moon Reflection Well’s inscription, which described a traveler who discovered the planet’s terrifying immortal creatures and took refuge in the ancient temple.
• The inscription explained that sixteen flames changed as they nurtured mutated immortal creatures, while the seventeenth had remained unchanged for ten thousand years because it nurtured a higher-grade immortal creature.

Lin Shen and the others learned that the Ancient World King had prepared extensively to undergo Reincarnation and Retraining using the Fire in the Basin. His message revealed the Moon Reflection Well could take them off the planet, but also suggested the Ancient World King’s reincarnation had gone wrong.

• The Ancient World King weakened the Immortal Land’s energy with an Ancient Buddha Tree, a Chaos Gourd Vine, eight Spirit Suppressing Piles, and a Dual Life Foundation technique before undergoing Reincarnation and Retraining.
• Lin Shen discovered that the Moon Reflection Well could transport them off the planet, though immortal creatures born there could not use it to leave.
• Lin Shen read the remaining words in the well and found that the writer had warned of the planet’s terrifying immortal creatures and signed the name Ancient World King.
• Ouyang Yudu realized that the Ancient World King might have come to the planet for Reincarnation and Retraining after becoming a World King.
• Lin Shen and Ouyang Yudu concluded that something had likely gone wrong with the Ancient World King’s reincarnation, since his message remained intact.

Lin Shen escaped the terrifying planet with Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yudu, then decided to return Old Iron’s Mechanical Watch in person. When he met Old Iron on Giant Ring Star, Old Iron noticed Lin Shen’s bow and asked whether he had been to Terror Star.

• Lin Shen escorted Salvation Master back to the shore, received Buddha Fruits from him, and reunited with Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yudu beneath the ancient temple.
• Lin Shen, Wei Wufu, and Ouyang Yudu escaped through the Moon Reflection Well and teleported back to Sky Peak Star.
• With little time before Old Iron came looking for him, Lin Shen suspected Old Iron might be the Ancient World King and decided to return the Mechanical Watch.
• Lin Shen traveled with Wei Wufu to Giant Ring Star, where Tian Xin had arranged for him to meet Old Iron.
• Lin Shen offered Old Iron the Mechanical Watch and asked if returning it would end their grudge, but Old Iron asked whether Lin Shen had gone to Terror Star.

Lin Shen questioned Old Iron about the Moon Reflection Well and learned that Old Iron remembered his name as Lin Yin and his birthplace as Blackbird Base. Lin Shen realized Old Iron might be his long-missing biological second brother, and Old Iron concluded that Lin Shen was his younger brother.

• Old Iron demanded the Golden Crow Shrine bow, but Lin Shen offered it and the Mechanical Watch in exchange for answers.
• Old Iron identified the bow as the immortal life foundation of the Ancient Clan's legendary General Sun Shooter, then returned it to Lin Shen.
• Lin Shen asked Old Iron about the Moon Reflection Well and his nirvana, and Old Iron said he could not remember the past but had sensed he completed nirvana there.
• Old Iron said he was not the person Lin Shen suspected and revealed that his name was Lin Yin.
• Old Iron said he was from Blackbird Base, so Lin Shen explained that he was also born there and was Lin Yin's biological younger brother.
• Old Iron was stunned by the revelation and realized Lin Shen was his younger brother.

Old Iron insisted that he was Lin Shen’s second brother, Lin Yin, and demanded to meet their eldest sister. Lin Miao was shaken when Old Iron recalled a private memory about the kitten A Hua, though he looked nothing like Lin Yin.

• Lin Shen tried to convince Old Iron that they were not brothers, but Old Iron concluded that he had three younger siblings and an eldest sister.
• Old Iron went with Tian Xin to meet Lin Miao at the Shen Bao Pill plantation, while Lin Shen and Wei Wufu followed.
• Old Iron called Lin Miao his eldest sister and asked whether A Hua was still alive.
• Lin Miao explained that A Hua had died years earlier and been buried in its favorite flowerbed, stunned that Old Iron knew their private story about the cat.

Lin Miao confirmed that Old Iron was her long-lost second son, Lin Yin, after recognizing his birthmark, though Lin Shen struggled to accept it. Back at Heaven Palace, Lin Shen resolved to cultivate for the good of the universe and went to the training grounds, where he found Tian Xin, Wei Wufu, and Old Iron already there.

• Lin Miao examined Old Iron's back and recognized the Copper Coin Birthmark, confirming he was Lin Yin.
• Lin Miao embraced Lin Yin, and his memories and their conversation further convinced her that he was her son.
• Lin Shen questioned the reunion, while Tian Xin argued with him about whether they were now brothers or uncles.
• Lin Shen returned to Heaven Palace and spent the night with Tian Xun.
• Lin Shen woke determined to cultivate, ate breakfast, and went to the training grounds, where he found Tian Xin, Wei Wufu, and Old Iron talking.
• Lin Shen asked Wei Wufu to spar with him.

Lin Shen sparred with Wei Wufu and successfully held his ground using the Blood Life Blade Technique, but Old Iron exposed a flaw in its rigid, forceful defense. Lin Shen kept training against Old Iron, determined to solve the flaw without abandoning the attacks required by the Slag Blade Art.

• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu fought with dual practice blades until both sets of blades broke, and Lin Shen was pleased that his defense had held up.
• Old Iron challenged Lin Shen, matched his strength and speed, and defeated his defense with a single slash to the neck.
• Old Iron explained that Lin Shen’s technique abandoned the advantages of defense by meeting attacks head-on and could be fooled by changes in rhythm.
• Lin Shen decided he could not switch to pure defense because the Slag Blade Art required him to attack, so he would find a way to address the technique’s weakness.
• Lin Shen repeatedly sparred with Old Iron, who used shifting rhythms to disrupt his timing and place a blade at his neck, while Lin Shen patiently adapted.

Lin Shen struggled to overcome Old Iron’s ability to predict his moves during a blade-training match. He kept following his Blood Life Blade Technique despite being outmatched, while Tian Xin and Wei Wufu argued over whether persistence meant he was on the wrong path.

• Old Iron repeatedly exploited gaps in Lin Shen’s blade technique and rhythm, warning him that his defense had many flaws.
• Lin Shen tried a Jade and Stone Burn Together strike, but Old Iron’s blade reached his heart before Lin Shen could reach him.
• Lin Shen realized Old Iron could anticipate his actions and searched for a way to defeat the technique through blade moves alone.
• Tian Xin criticized Lin Shen’s technique and claimed speed could counter Old Iron, while Wei Wufu questioned whether Tian Xin was merely ashamed to step in.
• Lin Shen kept using his Blood Life Blade Technique despite being forced to alter every move, and Wei Wufu argued that a person who was not dead had not been proven wrong.

Lin Shen accidentally discovered blade qi and used its unusual destructive power to break through Old Iron’s defenses and win their spar. Old Iron returned Lin Shen’s Mechanical Watch and transported him somewhere that startled him.

• Lin Shen’s slash produced blade qi that struck Old Iron and damaged his clothes and Steel Body.
• Old Iron accepted the hit and invited Lin Shen to use blade qi and other techniques during their practice.
• Lin Shen’s junk-blade method let his blade qi cut through Old Iron’s blade qi, forcing Old Iron to dodge and preventing him from approaching.
• Old Iron conceded that Lin Shen had won because he could not break through Lin Shen’s defense without using Nirvana Power.
• Old Iron returned the Mechanical Watch to Lin Shen’s wrist, pressed it several times, and transported him to a place that made Lin Shen exclaim in alarm.

Lin Shen followed Old Iron to a ruined temple, where restoring a statue revealed the Weapon Star as a destination for training. He traveled there and fought a bronze Nirvana Creature, discovering that his Inheritance Fan’s Shock Form could force its flying sword to the ground.

• Old Iron brought Lin Shen to a ruined temple and explained that he should strengthen his saber qi by relying on overwhelming force rather than completing his incomplete training system.
• Lin Shen returned the suspended statue to the altar, causing the temple to briefly restore itself and reveal the name Chiyou Temple as a star shone in the sky.
• Old Iron told Lin Shen that Chi You had returned to his rightful place and that the Weapon Star had appeared as a training destination, while warning him not to move other statues carelessly.
• Lin Shen checked the Mechanical Watch, returned with Old Iron, and then set a short countdown before teleporting to the Weapon Star alone.
• A bronze sword-wielding Nirvana Creature attacked Lin Shen, who met its strike with his Scrap Saber and sheath before using the Inheritance Fan’s Shock Form to ground the flying sword.

Lin Shen explored Weapon Planet, defeated Nirvana weapon soldiers, and discovered that its Chiyou Temple offered weapon inheritances. He chose every weapon category and was crowned King of All Weapons, leaving him with multiple new talents.

• Lin Shen defeated a Bronze Sword Soldier, but its spirit base escaped when he was teleported away.
• Lin Shen fled from a group of Bronze Sword Soldiers, then killed a lone Bronze Saber Soldier and captured its spirit base.
• Lin Shen found the Chiyou Temple and learned from its statue that choosing a weapon category granted a talent and the chance to compete for its title.
• Lin Shen chose every weapon category and named himself Fist God.
• The rankings crowned Lin Shen Sword King, Blade King, and King of All Weapons, granting him their talents.
