Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tian led the group into the mysterious field to find Wang Ye, using the RV’s recorded-coordinate function to escape once and loudspeakers to search for him. After drawing out and fighting the white-robed old man, Xiao Tian identified him as Wu Gensheng, who agreed that they could take Wang Ye once he left the field on his own.

• Xiao Tian used the RV’s coordinate-recording function to return everyone safely outside the field, then recharged it and drove back in with Yu Huadu recording details for a travelogue.
• When they could not pinpoint Wang Ye, Xiao Tian used ninety-nine loudspeakers to call for him, attracting a mysterious attacker and a spreading mass of white mist.
• Xiao Tian cleared the mist with his flames, pulled the white-robed old man toward the group with Banshō Ten'in, and challenged him to fight.
• Xiao Tian recognized the old man as Wu Gensheng after Wu Gensheng used Divine Spirit to neutralize his techniques, then defeated him with a physical punch.
• Wu Gensheng agreed that Wang Ye could leave once he walked out through his own efforts, and he invited Xiao Tian to talk elsewhere.

Xiao Tian took Wu Gensheng into the Kamui Dimension and helped him break through to a higher understanding of the Dao. After sparring with him, Xiao Tian joined Wang Ye and the others in a strange place where they were trapped, but only Xiao Tian managed to escape its looping boundary.

• Xiao Tian opened a spatial gateway to the Kamui Dimension, where Wu Gensheng attacked him and discovered that his Divine Spirit could not neutralize Xiao Tian’s purer power.

• Xiao Tian used Wang Ye’s map and escaped the looping area, but Wang Ye remained trapped, leaving them uncertain how to get him out.

Xiao Tian and his companions captured Geriya, a foreign Outsider who had killed Nadutong agents and stolen classified documents. After she refused to help them, Xiao Tian revealed that Yu Huadu could impersonate her and use her appearance to betray the other Outsiders.

• Xiao Tian left Wang Ye with Wu Gensheng and headed back to the RV with his companions.
• Xu Si and Director Zhao told Xiao Tian that an unknown Outsider had killed more than thirty company agents and stolen classified documents, so he set out to capture her.
• Er Zhuang sent Xiao Tian coordinates locating the red-haired illusionist, Geriya, in a forest near Jinzhou.
• Geriya tried to ambush Tao Tao with illusions and silver needles, but Tao Tao restrained her and Xiao Tian's group captured her.
• Geriya refused to betray her allies, so Xiao Tian had Yu Huadu transform into her and planned to use the impersonation to infiltrate the Outsiders.

After interrogating Geriya, Xiao Tian used her information to set a trap for the Mystic Shield Group’s Third Team at its hidden Swallow Mountain base. Yu Huadu’s disguise and a magnetic-wave device let the team capture Beast King and the other infiltrators, leaving them ready for interrogation.

• Geriya confessed that she belonged to the Mystic Shield Group and identified Beast King as the leader of the infiltrators in the area.

Xiao Tian interrogated the captured foreign unusual beings and learned that the Mystic Shield Group had a covert team operating in Jinzhou, while Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao captured another foreign agent. As foreign powers plotted to exploit secrets about Di Shitian, an ancient dragon-patterned helmet ignited aboard a private plane and caused it to crash.

• A cane-bearing old man traded documents with the dark king of Sea Country's unusual being world, then his dragon-patterned silver helmet burned aboard his plane and the aircraft crashed.

Xiao Tian and the Nadutong team investigated a mysterious attack on Wang Ai while preparing to host the Mystic Shield Group from the Land of Stars. After Xiao Tian effortlessly countered Agatha’s ice technique, he offered to teach her lesser absolute zero and asked her to become his disciple.

• Xu San and Xu Si told Xiao Tian and the others that Wang Ai had survived an attack by a powerful outsider who escaped from his crashing plane.
• Xiao Tian suspected Wang Ai was hiding information and joined the group in prioritizing the Mystic Shield Group’s visit to their base.
• Xiao Tian greeted Agatha’s exchange team, flirted with her, and gave them a misleading tour of the base.
• Gute accused Nadutong of receiving the team in bad faith, and Xiao Tian answered him in fluent foreign speech.
• Agatha challenged Xiao Tian and used Ice Binding Kill, but Xiao Tian’s heavenly Dao emperor flame quickly destroyed her icy chains.
• Xiao Tian explained lesser absolute zero to Agatha and promised she could learn it within half a year if she became his disciple.

Xiao Tian demonstrated his Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame to Agatha, prompting her to grasp an insight into transforming cold Qi, but her secluded breakthrough appeared to destroy her meridians. As Gute and the others turned against her, Xiao Tian urged Agatha to embrace the cold, and her body began changing as she rose into the air.

• Xiao Tian showed Agatha his purple-gold flame, and she understood its energy changes as a principle of destruction before rebirth.
• Agatha began cultivating in seclusion, spreading extreme cold through the Nadutong building and forcing its staff to evacuate.
• Xu San and Xu Si told Xiao Tian he had to pay for the building’s damage, and he agreed while bargaining over apartments.
• Agatha’s cultivation seemed to collapse, leaving her cold and helpless as Gute and several teammates surrounded her and threatened her.
• Xiao Tian appeared and told Agatha to embrace the cold, and her hair turned silver as a cold wind rose and lifted her into the air.

Agatha transformed into an elemental being, but Xiao Tian defeated her and brought her under Huaxia’s Dragon Guard after stopping her attempted self-destruction. With the authorities’ approval, Xiao Tian and his allies staged a black-market auction for the Water-Repelling Pearl to draw in foreign ability users, while Agatha sought funds from the Mystic Shield Group to bid.

• Xiao Tian used Agatha and his Six Paths Bodies to publicize the Water-Repelling Pearl and stage a black-market auction that attracted foreign ability users.
• Agatha contacted the Mystic Shield Group for bidding funds, and its leaders agreed that spending over a billion to obtain the Water-Repelling Pearl was worthwhile.

Xiao Tian’s black-market auction drew supernatural factions from around the world to bid on the Water-Repelling Pearl, whose deep-sea potential alarmed Xu Si and the others. The auction began, and the Black Crow Demon’s attempt to steal the pearl was crushed by the cart’s defenses, leaving the factions even more determined to claim it.

• Zeta and the Black Claw Group followed a black-cloaked guide through an underwater entrance into the hidden black market.
• Xiao Tian told Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Guihua, Zhang Lingyu, and the others to wait until the major factions arrived before making their move.
• Xu Si warned that the Water-Repelling Pearl could let nations explore the deep sea and uncover valuable secrets, while Xiao Tian and Agatha claimed it was fake and part of a plan to move Agatha’s funds.
• The auction opened with bowls, plates, and ancient weapons, then presented the Water-Repelling Pearl with a starting price of one billion.
• The Black Crow Demon attacked the pearl’s cart, but its black lightning broke through his defenses and knocked him unconscious.

Xiao Tian used a fake bidder and a staged robbery to collect more than four billion in admission fees and escape with his companions, while the Water-Repelling Pearl changed hands amid a chaotic pursuit. The chapter ended with Feng Zhenghao dragging down a foreign Other who had seized the pearl.

• As the Water-Repelling Pearl’s bidding reached thirty-five billion, Xiao Tian revealed to Xu San, Xu Si, Zhang Chulan, and Zhang Lingyu that he had hired a shill.
• The Asura Path Body posed as Old Demon Black Mountain, appeared to pay for the pearl, then staged a robbery and fled underground as other Others gave chase.
• Xiao Tian and his companions escaped after collecting more than four billion in admission fees, leaving returning guests to discover the organizers were gone.

• Lu Jin, Yuan Tao, and foreign Others fought over the pearl until a three-meter-tall metallic-skinned humanoid seized it and fled.
• Feng Zhenghao used Spirit Binding and General Dispatch to wrap a black Qi tentacle around the fleeing Other’s leg and drag him down.

After the Battle of the Hundred, Xiao Tian received the Best Outlier Award and was offered Grandmaster Jiekong’s seat among the Ten Elders, but he refused. The banquet was interrupted by a mysterious figure in a dragon-patterned helmet, whose arrival forced Wang Ai to reveal that the ancient artifact had nearly killed him.

• Xiao Tian accepted the Best Outlier Award, while Zhao Fangrui, Guihua, Zhang Chulan, Xu San, and Xu Si also received honors.
• At the banquet, Grandmaster Jiekong announced he was stepping down and urged Xiao Tian to take his seat among the Ten Elders, but Xiao Tian declined.
• Lu Jin teased Xiao Tian about being shameless, and their exchange was interrupted when a mysterious figure in dragon-patterned armor entered the hall.
• The figure threatened everyone and absorbed Lu Jin’s lightning talismans, including his fourfold lightning talisman.
• Xiao Tian asked Wang Ai to explain the helmet, and Wang Ai said it was an artifact from the ancient Great Qin era that had nearly dragged him into the Netherworld.

The Ten Elders' attacks only strengthened the mysterious dragon-helmeted man, whose helmet resisted their attempts to reach him. He advanced toward Xiao Tian and knelt before him, leaving everyone stunned and Xiao Tian demanding an explanation.

• Na Ruhu attacked the mysterious dragon-helmeted man with his body-tempering techniques, but the man dissipated his blows and grew stronger after Lu Jin's Fourfold Lightning Talismans.
• Lü Ci's Soul-Brightening Technique failed, and Xiao Tian concluded that the helmet controlled a man who had already died.
• The Ten Elders surrounded and attacked the mysterious man, but he countered them and continued toward Xiao Yan, the leader of the Dragon Guard.
• Xu Si reported that the corpse herders said the dragon helmet had to be removed, but the strange power around it prevented anyone from reaching it.
• Xiao Tian approached the mysterious man, who suddenly knelt before him and shifted to keep facing him when he moved.

Xiao Tian discovered he could approach the mysterious dragon-helmed figure and learned that the Ominous Helm’s wearer could bring chaos or salvation. He removed the helm, revealing a decayed skeleton, and triggered a quest to erase the Ancestral Dragon’s resentment and return the helm to its original place.

• Xiao Tian tested the dragon-helmed man’s defenses and found that the man did not repel him when he showed no hostility, but Na Ruhu was blasted away when he tried to approach.
• Xiao Tian prepared several protective techniques and reached for the helm, but Xu Si interrupted him with classified information from Director Zhao.
• Xiao Tian and the others learned that the Ominous Helm had appeared in prehistoric times and that the Great Qin emperor had united the Seven States after its wearer kowtowed to him.
• Xiao Tian removed the helm, revealing a skull as the figure’s body crumbled into bones and dust.
• Xiao Tian felt drawn to the helm and triggered a quest to erase the Ancestral Dragon’s resentment by returning it to its original place, with a God-Slaying Spear as the reward.

Xiao Tian bound the resentful Ancestral Dragon Helm and brought it to Shaolin Temple for a deliverance ritual. When Buddhist chants failed to suppress it, Xiao Tian learned the Taoist Eight Great Divine Mantras and began a combined ritual that produced a spectacular celestial phenomenon.

• Xiao Tian rejected the Ancestral Dragon Helm’s attempt to merge with him, then tried reciting Buddhist and Taoist scriptures to dispel its resentment.
• Xiao Tian bound the returning helm with the Adamantine Staff and took it to Shaolin Temple, where Grandmaster Jiekong and the monks began a deliverance ritual.
• The helm resisted the Buddhist chants, releasing black mist and declaring its intention to conquer the world, so Grandmaster Jiekong suggested adding Taoist heart scriptures.
• Zhang Lingyu taught Xiao Tian the Eight Great Divine Mantras, and Xiao Tian returned to the Reincarnation Platform to combine them with the monks’ chants.
• Xiao Tian’s ritual filled the sky with golden light, immortal palaces, and divine figures, astonishing the Ten Elders and sect leaders; the Old Celestial Master recognized Xiao Tian’s extraordinary potential.

Xiao Tian eliminated the resentment in the Ancestral Dragon Helm at Shaolin, triggering celestial signs that alarmed foreign powers and intensified border tensions. After obtaining and activating the Key to the Primordial World, he learned it would open in seven days, just as Zhang Chulan called to report a border battle involving a Barrier Pearl.

• Xiao Tian and the Shaolin monks refined the Dragon Helmet's resentment, and Xiao Tian's chants produced golden lotuses and auspicious clouds as the dragon manifestation weakened.
• Xiao Tian dispersed the resentment in the Ancestral Dragon Helm, received the Key to the Primordial World, and thanked the monks, some of whom had gained extraordinary abilities.
• After foreign countries reacted to Shaolin's celestial phenomena, pressure increased along H Country's border, and Nadutong dispatched experts to defend it.
• Xiao Tian disguised himself as Di Shitian, took the Self-Cultivation Furnace's core from Qu Tong, and used it to activate the Key to the Primordial World.
• Xiao Tian learned the key would become usable in seven days and absorbed Primordial Purple Qi; Zhang Chulan then called to report a border battle in which the enemy had brought a Barrier Pearl.

Xiao Tian teleported to the Western Frontier, disguised himself as Wu Gensheng, and helped break Country Y's barrier and defeat its nonhumans. After the leaders regrouped, Xiao Tian exposed an enemy infiltrator hidden beneath their camp, while his identity remained concealed.

• Xiao Tian learned that a Barrier Pearl had trapped Country H's military leaders and teleported to Xu San's vehicle to get the coordinates.
• Xiao Tian reached the border, shattered the barrier with his overwhelming pressure, and attacked Country Y's nonhumans while disguised as Wu Gensheng.
• Wu Gensheng sneezed in a secret realm as Wang Ye agreed to leave after Wu Gensheng threatened him with a pistol.
• At the command camp, the Fire King and Thunder King described Wu Gensheng's intervention, and Chen Jinkui and the others discussed the Barrier Pearl and Country Y's support.
• Xiao Tian detected and exposed a weakened Country Y nonhuman infiltrator beneath the camp, while Chen Jinkui and Xu San introduced him as Xiao Yan, a powerful reclusive senior.

As Country Y’s extraordinary people provoked a one-on-one fight, Xiao Tian discovered they had contaminated the ground with a nerve-affecting chemical. He used Fire Talisman: Triple Thunderfire to destroy the chemical and incinerate the provocateurs, leaving the others stunned by his power.

• The Thunder King warned the assembled fighters that Country Y’s forces still lingered near the border, and a report announced that they were demanding a dispute battle between extraordinary people.
• Xiao Tian joined the group at the border and identified a chemical in the ground that could affect extraordinary people’s sensory nerves.
• Xiao Tian advised the fire users to burn the contaminated area, then used a megaphone to taunt Country Y’s fighters as the Fire King and fourteen others attacked the ground with flames.
• Makasoda’s group returned to the scorched area and continued provoking Country H, believing the flames had failed to destroy the chemical.
• Xiao Tian formed Fire Talisman: Triple Thunderfire, whose three purple-gold dragonflames destroyed the chemical and killed Makasoda and the other Country Y extraordinary people.
• The Fire King and the others praised Xiao Tian’s attack as being at the Ten Elders’ level and fiercer than Old Lu’s Triple Thunder Talisman.

Xiao Tian explained that he had learned the principles of Heavenly Talisman by watching Lu Jin’s recordings and offered to publish his fire technique’s cultivation details for free. After killing an ability user who tried to pressure him, Xiao Tian’s government authority was confirmed, and Lu Jin arrived with Lu Linglong and Lu Lin.

• Xiao Tian said he had studied Lu Jin’s Heavenly Talisman recordings for five years and developed an instant-cast fire technique.
• When fire-controlling ability users demanded that Xiao Tian teach them, he offered to release the method publicly but warned that the Dao must not be lightly passed on.
• Xiao Tian killed an ability user who threatened him and claimed authority as the leader of the Dragon Guard; Xu Si, the Fire King, and the Thunder King confirmed his status.
• Xiao Tian asked Xu San and Xu Si to investigate the people who had tried to pressure him into handing over his technique.
• Lu Jin arrived with Lu Linglong and Lu Lin, and Xiao Tian mistook Lu Lin for Lu Linglong’s boyfriend before learning he was her cousin.
• Xiao Tian told Lu Jin that he was about to teach a technique he had secretly learned from him, leaving Lu Jin puzzled.

Xiao Tian demonstrated his Instant Fire Talisman Technique, accidentally killing Country Y’s Earth God, then arranged to share the technique as a tutorial. Later, he dragged Lu Linglong onto a cold mountain path to train her Yang Spirit cultivation, where she cried out for help.

• Xiao Tian demonstrated a fire talisman that killed Earth God, while Country Y’s commander learned that Earth God’s life orb had gone dark.
• Xiao Tian asked Lu Jin to record a tutorial explaining the Instant Fire Talisman Technique so it could be shared with fire-wielding ability users.
• Lu Linglong edited the tutorial, and Xiao Tian teased her before Lu Jin agreed to let him give her extra training.
• Xiao Tian carried Lu Linglong outside, then took her to a cold mountain path and told her to remove her padded coat for Yang Spirit cultivation.
• Lu Linglong shouted for Great-Grandpa, accusing Xiao Tian of trying to murder her.

Xiao Tian and the Ten Elders prepared for a challenge from Country Y, while Xiao Tian suspected the foreigners had a hidden plan. Lu Lin won the first match decisively, and Xiao Tian entered the second match against Country Y’s reluctant, weaker fighter.

• Xiao Tian teased Lu Linglong during training, then helped the group decide that Lu Lin would take the first match and Xiao Tian the second.
• Xiao Tian spotted Country Y’s gathered ability users and suspected their representatives had agreed too readily to Lu Jin’s terms, so he asked Xu San and Xu Si to alert headquarters.
• Lu Jin and Kanjiji agreed to ten matches, with reparations at stake, and Lu Lin faced Kaduolasuo in the opening fight.
• Kaduolasuo trapped Lu Lin with Earth Tentacles, but Lu Lin broke free using a Trinity Sect technique and defeated him with a powerful kick.
• Xiao Tian stepped forward for the second match, and Kanjiji ordered the reluctant intermediate ability user Luted iwa to fight him.
