Chapter Summaries

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu waited on Mystic God Star for dawn while Little Stars insisted the Immortal Courtyard Gate was the only way out. After the Immortal Courtyard vanished, Lin Shen began filing Little Stars’s shell to punish it for withholding no other escape route.

• Lin Shen used the Shooting Sun Bow to cross Mystic God Star’s Black Night and found Wei Wufu at the Mountain God Temple.
• Lin Shen gave Wei Wufu several God-Making Eggs and told him to wait until dawn before undergoing Nirvana.
• Little Stars insisted that the Immortal Courtyard Gate was the only route out, and Lin Shen threw it to the ground.
• Lin Shen told Wei Wufu what he had seen beyond the Immortal Courtyard Gate, while Little Stars disputed his account of the immortal realm.
• At dawn, Lin Shen stopped Wei Wufu from beginning Nirvana and filed Little Stars’s shell with a scrap blade.

Lin Shen ground open Little Stars’ snail shell and discovered a vast hoard of rare items, then continued trying to kill it despite its pleas. Little Stars revealed that Pink Star was the Ancient World King’s tomb and warned that the king was close to revival, but Lin Shen remained unconvinced.

• Lin Shen ground through Little Stars’ snail shell, releasing a pillar of gas that scattered its stored possessions across the area.
• Lin Shen found Ashes of Reincarnation, an immortal-grade Pet Egg, Rewind Liquid, and other valuable items among the scattered goods.
• Little Stars lamented the destruction of treasured instruments and artworks while Lin Shen resumed sawing through its body.
• Little Stars revealed that Pink Star was the Ancient World King’s burial place and claimed the king would drain the planet’s life force when he revived.
• Little Stars explained that Pink Star was an immortal-grade spirit foundation called Chaos World, that it had once been its spirit, and that the Ancient World King had imprisoned it to guard his tomb.

Lin Shen heard Little Stars's account of the Ancient World King and agreed to let Wei Wufu complete Nirvana before they descended the Jade Steps together. Wei Wufu entered Nirvana Form, leaving his consciousness and return to human form uncertain.

• Little Stars told Lin Shen that it was the Chaos World's spiritual foundation and warned that the Ancient World King would revive when the Chaos World's power ran out, threatening the Human Mother Star.
• Lin Shen questioned Little Stars closely, and Wei Wufu found no clear flaws in its account, so Lin Shen stopped trying to kill it.
• Wei Wufu asked to use an Immortal-grade God-Making Egg to complete Nirvana before traveling down the Jade Steps with Lin Shen, and Lin Shen agreed.
• Wei Wufu swallowed the God-Making Egg, and purple light formed an enormous cocoon around him.
• Wei Wufu emerged in Nirvana Form as a crystalline, three-eyed demonic figure, with no visible trace of humanity.

Wei Wufu completed Nirvana with an immortal-grade God-Making Egg, gaining super-gene attributes and the Purple Dipper Mirror Realm ability to simulate others’ Nirvana Attributes. He opened the Immortal Courtyard Gate without becoming immortal, and Lin Shen began climbing the Jade Steps with Little Stars but triggered no thunder or fire.

• Wei Wufu returned to human form at dawn and told Lin Shen that his Nirvana Attributes, Gene Mutation Talent, and Life Base had become super-gene grade.
• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu tested Purple Dipper Mirror Realm and discovered it could imitate the characteristics, but not the strength, of another person’s Nirvana Attribute after making contact with it.
• Wei Wufu climbed the Jade Steps through thunder and fire, reached the Immortal Courtyard Gate, and pushed it open, but received no divine position.
• Lin Shen started up the Jade Steps while carrying Little Stars, but the steps produced no flames or lightning.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu crossed the Jade Steps and Immortal Courtyard, where the gate opened for Lin Shen and the courtyard looked nothing like Little Stars remembered. Unable to enter Nirvana, Lin Shen traveled with Tian Xun to meet Fate of the Butterfly Race, who might diagnose his condition.

• Lin Shen walked the Jade Steps without facing lightning or fire, and the Immortal Courtyard Gate opened for him on its own.
• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu crossed the White Jade Tower and returned near Blackbird Base; Lin Shen then headed for Sky Peak Star while Wei Wufu returned to Heavenly City.
• Lin Shen teleported to Giant Ring Star with Little Stars and asked Tian Xun to examine why he could not enter Nirvana.
• Tian Xun took Lin Shen to the Butterfly Race to consult Fate, a renowned healer who could diagnose bodily mutations.
• Fate warmly greeted Tian Xun and agreed to help Lin Shen, whom she jokingly called Tian Xun's little lover.

Lin Shen and Tian Xun waited for Fate to treat them, but Bing Lei Ya intervened and took her away to prevent her from helping Lin Shen. Tian Xun confronted Bing Lei Ya at the Teleportation Station, where he openly defended his ruthless actions.

• Fate left to handle an urgent matter and kept Lin Shen and Tian Xun waiting while she treated other patients.
• Lin Shen paid Fate with Ashes of Reincarnation, prompting her to begin treating him.
• Bing Lei Ya entered and demanded priority treatment, then threatened Lin Shen when Lin Shen challenged his offer to pay double.
• Fate identified the armored newcomer as Bing Lei Ya of the Snow Race, a powerful Nirvana Realm Expert known for his Yin Ice Thunder Qi.
• Fate messaged Tian Xun that Bing Lei Ya was taking her to the Snow Race, so Tian Xun and Lin Shen went to intercept them.
• Tian Xun confronted Bing Lei Ya near the Teleportation Station, and he declared that he had always acted ruthlessly.

Tian Xun and Lin Shen sought Fate’s help because Lin Shen could not undergo Nirvana, but Fate was obliged to accompany Bing Lei Ya. Lin Shen agreed to fight Bing Lei Ya, who discovered he was still at the Ascension Level and ended the chapter with his punch striking Lin Shen without visibly harming him.

• Tian Xun offered to pay Fate several times her fee, but Fate explained she had to accompany Bing Lei Ya on the Snow Race’s assignment.
• Bing Lei Ya demanded to beat Lin Shen before Fate could stay to help, and Lin Shen accepted the challenge.
• Fate led Tian Xun, Lin Shen, and Bing Lei Ya to a martial arena, where Lin Shen revealed that he had not undergone Nirvana.
• Tian Xun told Fate that Lin Shen’s body prevented him from undergoing Nirvana, while Fate urged them to stop the fight.
• Bing Lei Ya punched Lin Shen in the abdomen, but the impact rang like metal striking metal as Lin Shen stood unharmed.

Lin Shen let Bing Lei Ya unleash increasingly powerful attacks without moving, and his shell remained completely unmarked. Bing Lei Ya, unable to hurt him, summoned his dragon-shaped Life Base to continue the fight.

• Bing Lei Ya struck Lin Shen with ordinary punches and Bone Crushing Fist, but Lin Shen's shell showed no damage.
• Bing Lei Ya used Absolute Yin Lightning, first with a measured blow and then at full force, but Lin Shen remained unharmed.
• Bing Lei Ya attacked Lin Shen with a barrage of innate skills while Fate watched, yet he failed to leave a mark.
• Lin Shen criticized Bing Lei Ya's inability to hurt him, and Bing Lei Ya summoned his green, dragon-shaped Life Base.

Lin Shen endured Bing Lei Ya’s strongest punch without injury, then defeated him with Fingertip Sand and left with Fate. Fate later examined Lin Shen and learned that he was still an Ascender, unable to enter Nirvana despite using a Gene Mutation Land and a Nirvana Egg.

• Bing Lei Ya struck Lin Shen with his Lightning True Dragon punch, but Lin Shen remained standing unharmed.
• Bing Lei Ya tried to leave, and Lin Shen attacked him with Fingertip Sand, sealing his acupuncture points and leaving him convulsing.
• Lin Shen told Fate that Bing Lei Ya would survive, then left with her.
• Fate arranged for Bing Lei Ya to be revived, but he repeatedly passed out again from the lingering pain.
• Fate examined Lin Shen and learned that he had not undergone Nirvana and had no Nirvana Power in his body.

Fate discovered that Lin Shen's body was too hardened to fuse with Nirvana Power and could not offer a certain cure. She recommended that Lin Shen seek help from Lou Ran at Lofty Academy, leaving him to travel there alone with her letter of recommendation.

• Fate examined Lin Shen and found that his body was like iron, preventing him from undergoing Nirvana.
• Bing Lei Ya recovered and offered Lin Shen a share of three Mutated Nirvana Eggs if he helped retrieve them, but Lin Shen refused.
• Fate proposed that Lin Shen either cultivate from scratch or seek Lou Ran, an Immortal whose Nirvana Power might catalyze fusion.
• Lin Shen rejected starting over and accepted Fate's letter of recommendation to visit Lou Ran at Lofty Academy.
• Tian Xun stayed behind, and Lin Shen set out alone for Lofty Academy.

Lin Shen traveled to Lofty Star to find Lou Ran, hoping her Nirvana Power could help him overcome a problem preventing him from achieving Nirvana. With Di E Si’s help, he finally met her and showed her Fate’s letter, leaving Lou Ran and Di E Si surprised by his unusually strong body.

• Lin Shen arrived on Lofty Star with Bing Lei Ya following him and spent several days waiting outside Lofty Academy for a chance to meet Lou Ran.
• Di E Si recognized Lin Shen and led him into the teaching area after Lin Shen explained that he needed Lou Ran’s help with a problem in his body.
• Di E Si learned Bing Lei Ya wanted Lin Shen to help kill the Shura Ghost King on Ghost Gate Star and offered to join them, but Lin Shen refused to discuss the trip.
• Di E Si brought Lin Shen to Lou Ran’s laboratory and went inside to explain his request.
• Lin Shen gave Lou Ran Fate’s letter, and she questioned whether his body was truly comparable to someone at Nirvana while Di E Si expressed interest in its strength.

Lin Shen agreed to Lou Ran’s experiment with a mental-power-enhancing extract, which raised his brain activity without causing visible harm. Lou Ran then tried to use her Creation Furnace Fire to refine his body and fuse his Nirvana Power, but his body resisted and seemed to grow stronger instead.

• Lin Shen agreed to test Lou Ran’s extract after learning its toxic side effects were unlikely to harm his unusually strong body.
• Lou Ran injected Lin Shen with the extract, and instruments showed his brain activity rising while his body displayed no obvious side effects.
• Lou Ran found that Lin Shen’s memory improved only slightly, but kept her promise to help him catalyze the fusion of Nirvana Power.
• Lou Ran used Creation Furnace Fire on Lin Shen, but the first attempt failed to change his body.
• Lou Ran intensified the flames, yet Lin Shen’s body remained unchanged and appeared to have grown even stronger.

Lou Ran found that her Creation Furnace Fire made Lin Shen’s power particles even denser, so she used her Immortal Laws to reforge the Nirvana Power inside him instead. After exhausting all her strength and medicine, she completed the reforging, leaving Lin Shen’s attempt to achieve Nirvana at a crucial turning point.

• Lou Ran discovered that her Creation Furnace Fire had increased the density of Lin Shen’s power particles rather than softening them.
• Lou Ran proposed enhancing the penetrating power of Lin Shen’s Nirvana Attribute Particles by reforging his Nirvana Power from inside his body, and Lin Shen agreed.
• Lou Ran cleared the laboratory, shut down surveillance, and used her Immortal Laws to locate and reforge the Nirvana Power within Lin Shen.
• Lou Ran realized that Lin Shen’s Nirvana Power kept emerging in immense quantities, forcing her to consume six vials of medicine as she continued.
• Lou Ran used the last of her strength to finish reforging all the Nirvana Power in Lin Shen’s body, then collapsed into a chair.

Lin Shen failed to achieve Nirvana after Lou Ran altered the Nirvana Particles, then secretly put her to sleep and checked that her Fire Seed was Heaven Defying Rebel Bones. Lou Ran woke without knowing what had happened, but later reviewed hidden surveillance footage and saw Lin Shen lie beside and hold her.

• Lou Ran found no sign that Lin Shen had begun Nirvana, then fainted from exhaustion as he caught her.
• Lin Shen secretly struck Lou Ran's Sleep Acupoint, confirmed her Fire Seed was Heaven Defying Rebel Bones at ten percent completeness, and rested beside her.
• Lin Shen woke, replaced Lou Ran's glasses, and waited until she recovered after releasing the Sleep Acupoint.
• Lou Ran questioned Lin Shen, resumed monitoring him in the laboratory, and left Di E Si in charge of his physical data.
• Lou Ran reviewed footage from a hidden camera and saw Lin Shen put her on the experiment table, lie beside her, and hold her.

Lou Ran reviewed footage of Lin Shen knocking her unconscious and found that he had only held her while sleeping, though she became determined to uncover his motive and ability. Later, she injected Lin Shen with a stabilizer for his unstable Nirvana Particles, leaving him alarmed about what she had discovered.

• Lou Ran watched the recording repeatedly, confirmed Lin Shen had not violated her, and suspected he possessed an ability that could affect an Immortal.
• Lin Shen and Di E Si discussed the Shura Ghost King, its three Nirvana Eggs, and a possible plan to capture it with Bing Lei Ya’s help.
• Lou Ran returned, sent Di E Si away, and told Lin Shen she would inject him with a stabilizer because his modified Nirvana Particles were unstable.
• Lou Ran drove a law-imbued syringe into Lin Shen and injected its entire contents despite his doubts.

Lou Ran paralyzed Lin Shen with Soft Bone Liquid and threatened to operate on him while demanding to know his abilities and why he had held her while they slept. Lin Shen concealed the truth about his abilities and tried to convince her he had wanted her but refrained out of respect, ending with a resigned declaration that one night beside her had been enough.

• Lou Ran injected Lin Shen with Soft Bone Liquid, leaving him unable to move, then told him its effects were permanent.
• Lou Ran injected Lin Shen again and threatened him with surgical instruments while questioning him about how he had made her lose consciousness.
• Lin Shen claimed to have five talent abilities and described the abilities he had shown others without revealing Pressure-Point Strike by name.
• Lou Ran asked why Lin Shen had held her while sleeping, and Lin Shen admitted he had wanted her.
• Lin Shen told Lou Ran he had restrained himself because he believed he was unworthy of her, then closed his eyes and said that sharing one night's fate with her had been enough.

Lin Shen escaped Lou Ran’s experiment and agreed to join Bing Lei Ya and Di E Si on Ghost Gate Star to pursue the Shura Ghost King’s three Pet Eggs. The three reached the crowded valley outside the Shura Ghost King’s cave, where Nirvana Realm Experts were struggling against the powerful guardian.

• Lou Ran restored Lin Shen’s body, refused to give him an antidote, and took his contact number so she could summon him for another experiment.
• Lin Shen agreed to go after the Shura Ghost King’s Pet Eggs only if Di E Si joined Bing Lei Ya and him.
• Di E Si accepted, and the three traveled to Ghost Gate Star the next morning, with Di E Si lending Lin Shen a Nirvana Level mount when he could not keep up.
• The three arrived at a crowded valley where Nirvana Realm Experts had gathered outside the Shura Ghost King’s cave.
• Lin Shen saw the Shura Ghost King defeat the experts’ attacks and kill several of their Nirvana pets.

Lin Shen and his companions watched the Shura Ghost King defend the Nirvana Eggs inside a freezing, smoke-filled cave, then saw Feng Fei Tian and Huang Fei Wu challenge him. Huang Fei Wu entered the cave while Feng Fei Tian held the Ghost King back, leaving the Phoenix pair close to claiming the eggs.

• Bing Lei Ya explained that the Shura Ghost King's black smoke made the cave nearly impossible to enter and that the eggs would be easier to reach when Ghost Gate Star neared another star system in about a month.
• The Shura Ghost King killed several Nirvana pets and returned to the cave, after which Lin Shen said he would adapt to the black smoke before attempting to enter.
• Feng Fei Tian and Huang Fei Wu arrived, and Bing Lei Ya identified them as powerful Pure-Blooded Phoenix Race members who had each undergone nirvana eleven times.
• Feng Fei Tian and Huang Fei Wu fought the Shura Ghost King together, matching his strength as golden light dispelled the black smoke.
• Huang Fei Wu rushed into the cave while Feng Fei Tian used his golden feather blade and wings to keep the Shura Ghost King from following her.

Feng Fei Tian held the Shura Ghost King at bay while Di E Si explained how high races inherited powerful talents across generations. Huang Fei Wu emerged badly wounded, and a Shura Ghost Queen joined the fight, leaving her and Feng Fei Tian at a disadvantage against the paired creatures.

• Feng Fei Tian fought the Shura Ghost King alone, and Di E Si and Bing Lei Ya speculated that his talent made him immune to the king’s weakening ability.
• Lin Shen asked Di E Si why he had chosen to cultivate again, and Di E Si explained that the choice was about experience rather than poor innate talent.
• Di E Si explained to Lin Shen how advanced races passed powerful talents through generations, while Lin Shen’s descendants would need many generations of exceptional pairings to inherit such talents.
• Huang Fei Wu stumbled out of the cave with severe, frozen-looking wounds and rushed toward Feng Fei Tian.
• A white, armored creature carrying a crystal knife and fork emerged from the cave, and Di E Si identified her as a female Shura Ghost King, likely a Shura Ghost Queen.
• The Shura Ghost Queen joined the Shura Ghost King, and their complementary abilities overwhelmed the injured Huang Fei Wu and Feng Fei Tian.

Lin Shen, Di E Si, and Bing Lei Ya challenged the cave guarded by the Shura Ghost King and Shura Ghost Queen, with Bing Lei Ya holding off the King while Di E Si drew out the Queen. The chapter left Di E Si facing the Queen unharmed, revealing that he had returned to Nirvana, while Lin Shen waited for his chance to enter.

• Feng Fei Tian and Huang Fei Wu withdrew after the Shura Ghost King and Ghost Queen overwhelmed them, and Lin Shen agreed to try the cave with Di E Si and Bing Lei Ya.
• Lin Shen tested the freezing black mist and relied on his Theory of Evolution to adapt to its cold.
• Bing Lei Ya fought the Shura Ghost King alone, keeping him from returning to the cave despite being unable to break through his Ghost Shield.
• Di E Si entered the cave to lure out the Shura Ghost Queen while Lin Shen waited in the black mist.
• Di E Si emerged unharmed as starlight deflected the Queen's invisible blade qi, and the onlookers realized he had returned to Nirvana.
