Chapter Summaries

Qingyang Huan reached the Body Casting Extreme Realm, but he could not form the expected flood dragon manifestation. The Stone Spear explained that thirty thousand jin was only a threshold among the Great Wilderness’s clans and that Qingyang Huan could still improve his strength.

• After the others left, Qingyang Huan asked the Stone Spear to teach him how to open his hidden reserves as promised.

• The Stone Spear told Qingyang Huan that his blood Qi was insufficient for the flood dragon manifestation and described how ancient clans’ descendants began with advantages far beyond his own.
• Qingyang Huan learned that thirty thousand jin was a threshold for talent across the Great Wilderness, while the Body Casting Extreme Realm gave ordinary warriors a way to match or surpass those born with powerful bloodlines.

After repeatedly restarting his cultivation in seclusion, he raised his blood strength beyond forty-eight thousand jin before Qingyang Jue entered with a dark expression.

Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei traveled south to La Mountain in search of powerful beasts, with Huan rebuilding his cultivation for the ninth time and reaching the peak of Body Forging. At Great Locust Mountain, they sought mutant beasts, while a band of five hunters camped nearby to pursue a lightning-rune beast that they hoped would earn them refuge.

• Qingyang Huan hunted a Golden-Hoofed Horned Elephant, absorbed its blood Qi, and led Jin Wei deeper into the Great Wilderness after Qingyang Jue drove him from the tribe for consuming too many resources.
• Qingyang Huan headed toward La Mountain so Jin Wei could find a mutant beast for his Divine Repository and Huan could seek beasts strong enough to help him enter the Divine Treasure Realm.
• After two months of hunting along the way, Qingyang Huan reached the peak of Body Forging with 49,999 jin of strength, still unable to cross the barrier to 50,000 jin.
• Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei entered a ruined settlement at the foot of Great Locust Mountain and planned to search for fierce apes and other mutant beasts.
• Boss Shan and four companions camped on another part of Great Locust Mountain, hoping to capture a lightning-rune beast and earn a place to settle in the Ancient City of La Mountain.

• At dawn, Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei left the ruined village and traveled deeper into Great Locust Mountain.
• Yun Caiyue and Mo Wuxie rode a winged python into the mountain, where they encountered Bixue Xiao atop a Jade Blood Xuangui.

• Mo Wuxie warned Yun Caiyue that Bixue Xiao was a prodigy destined to compete for the Ancient Land of La Mountain's Tripod Contest Ranking, and encouraged her to keep striving.
• Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei entered the mountain's depths from the north, and violet light suddenly flashed in Qingyang Huan's eyes.

Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei entered Great Locust Mountain, where a purple sable lured a band of warriors into a deadly encounter with giant apes and an enormous winged python. After the beasts were killed, Qingyang Huan caught the sable and used the Stone Spear to absorb the blood Qi of the dead giant apes before fleeing with Jin Wei.

• Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei escaped toward the outskirts of Great Locust Mountain as the winged python returned to the scene.

Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei escaped the flying python, and Qingyang Huan discovered that the purple marten Zi'er carried valuable treasures. He used a contract obtained from the Stone Spear to bind Zi'er as his servant, leaving the furious marten mourning its stolen hoard.

• Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei fled Great Locust Mountain and hid in a sealed cave far away.
• Qingyang Huan found that the purple marten had feigned weakness and offered him a Blood Essence Fruit to spare its life.

• Qingyang Huan used the Stone Spear's Ferocious Beast Contract to bind the marten, whom he learned was named Zi'er.
• Zi'er attacked Qingyang Huan, then sprawled over its treasures and cried that he had stolen them.

Qingyang Huan seized the purple sable’s Blood Essence Fruits and prepared to break through to the Divine Treasure Realm using the Brown Bear Source Treasure Method. After learning what opening Divine Repositories meant and how rare nine-repository warriors were, he asked the Stone Spear for a method to open nine, but the spear told him that every path had to be forged.

• Qingyang Huan took the eight Blood Essence Fruits from the purple sable, which could no longer resist him.
• Qingyang Huan spent three days comprehending the Brown Bear Source Treasure Method while absorbing a Blood Essence Fruit to prepare for his breakthrough.

• Qingyang Huan asked whether nine repositories could make someone invincible, and the Stone Spear warned that even nine-repository geniuses could die or fail to reach kingship.
• Qingyang Huan asked the Stone Spear for a method to open nine repositories, and it said it had none before urging him to forge his own path.

Qingyang Huan used a formula he had deduced by blending nine Body Casting methods to cultivate to his peak, then entered the Divine Treasure Realm by opening two Blood Treasures in succession. He stopped to strengthen his foundation, keeping the Stone Spear’s warning about the Great Wilderness’s many fortunes in mind.

• Qingyang Huan realized that the best cultivation method was the one that suited him and awakened his potential, then perfected his self-deduced Body Casting formula.
• Jin Wei recognized that Qingyang Huan was on the verge of a breakthrough as blood Qi and Bone Runes appeared around him.
• Qingyang Huan used the Brown Bear Source Treasure Method to open his first Divine Repository, raising his strength from forty-nine thousand jin to eighty thousand jin.
• Qingyang Huan opened a second Divine Repository in quick succession, and both Blood Treasures began drawing in blood-red essence Qi and strengthening his body.
• Qingyang Huan stopped opening treasures to build a solid foundation, then reflected on Jin Wei’s progress and the Stone Spear’s warning about the Great Wilderness.

Qingyang Huan told Jin Wei about the Tripod Contest Ranking and recruited the purple marten to help him find treasures. Back in Great Locust Mountain, they saw a giant python retreating from a massive troop of red-eyed apes, leaving the ape king and its horde as a formidable threat.

• Qingyang Huan explained that youths in the Divine Treasure Realm could compete for the Tripod Contest Ranking and receive rewards from the Human Race Ancestral Land.
• Qingyang Huan persuaded the wary purple marten to join him in searching for treasures by promising it everything they found.

• Yun Caiyue remarked that the ape king was highly intelligent and difficult to kill, while Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei watched the devastation from Great Locust Mountain.

Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei learned that a cave near the Red-Eyed Apes held a powerful beast’s remains and a presence resembling Jin Wei’s bloodline. When outsiders drew the ape king away, they climbed toward the cave, where Qingyang Huan encountered Yun Caiyue.

• The purple sable led Qingyang Huan to a cave near the Red-Eyed Apes and indicated that it contained treasure and a mighty beast’s remains.
• Mo Wulang and Yun Caiyue discussed taking the ape king’s bloodline, then joined forces with an old man and youth from the Jade Blood Family.
• Jin Wei sensed a bloodline presence inside the cave, so Qingyang Huan led him and the purple sable away to hide.
• The old man, Mo Wulang, and the old servant attacked the ape king, which grew into a flaming giant and shattered their Repository Sources and weapons.
• Qingyang Huan and Jin Wei used the battle as cover to climb toward the cave, but Yun Caiyue recognized Qingyang Huan.
