Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi used his Shock Value System to provoke Awakened across Baihai City, earning rewards and challenging them to meet him at the Combat Gym. Cong Xiaoxiao, Song Qiming, and a mysterious old man each wondered about Ling Yi’s sudden change, while Ling Yi prepared to defend the ring.

• Ling Yi mocked Awakened on livestreams and earned Constitution, Spiritual Power, Shop Points, and money from his system.
• Ling Yi posted a video challenging Awakened to fight him at the Baihai City Combat Gym at eight in the morning, drawing a flood of threats and sign-ups.
• Cong Xiaoxiao watched Ling Yi’s video, suspected he was a transmigrator with a system, and heeded her system’s warning to stay away from him.
• Song Qiming decided to watch Ling Yi at the Combat Gym, while a white-suited old man worried that the Rule Seed was maturing too quickly.
• Ling Yi arrived at the Combat Gym and chose to defend the ring.

Ling Yi opened his ring challenge in Baihai City, provoking the Awakened gathered to fight him while concealing his Spiritual Power and innate skills. After a student from Dafeng Intermediate School attacked him lethally, Ling Yi dodged with his Qi and blood talent and prepared a blazing counterpunch.

• Ling Yi set a ten-thousand challenge fee, taunted the crowd, and accepted challenges from anyone willing to fight.
• Gao Haoming and Gao Jiaming watched from the second floor and discussed Ling Yi's strength, Song Qiming's interest in his treasure, and their orders to stay out of it.
• A teenage Awakened from Dafeng Intermediate School entered the ring and declared that Ling Yi deserved death for insulting the Awakened.
• Ling Yi used the Power of Qi and Blood to dodge the student's punch to his temple, then focused the power into his right hand and swung a crimson-burning fist at him.

Ling Yi defeated his first challenger with his Qi and Blood Talent, then used the Shock Value System to uncover powerful secrets about several prominent people and buy new Qi-and-blood skills. He demonstrated his blood-red armor against a second challenger, who began charging a slow-moving Poison Water Ball.

• Ling Yi blasted a hole through the first challenger’s shoulder, revealed his Power of Qi and Blood, and kicked him out of the arena.
• The Shock Value System rewarded Ling Yi with talents and items from shocked spectators, including Gao Lingyun’s dark-attribute talent, Cong Xiaoxiao’s space-attribute talent, and Liao Cheng’s Beast Emperor Parasitic Offspring.
• Ling Yi suspected that Liao Cheng, Gao Lingyun, and others were hiding their true strength, and decided to conceal his Spiritual Power talents while presenting Qi and blood as his combat strength.
• Ling Yi bought several Qi-and-blood skills from the System Shop, including Qi and Blood Armor Condensation, Blood Condensation Finger, Blood and Qi Wing Transformation, and Spirit of Qi and Blood.
• Ling Yi used Qi and Blood Armor Condensation against a second challenger, who charged a Poison Water Ball so slowly that Ling Yi questioned whether it could hit anyone.

Ling Yi defended his arena title, then bargained with Zhao Yingtuo over information about Rule Seeds and learned the secondary awakened trial would take place on Aodai Continent. At a secluded farmhouse, he reunited with Cong Xiaoxiao and warned that the Beast Emperor Cult might be active despite the city’s safeguards.

• Ling Yi defeated the challengers at the Military Sports Hall, earned the challenge fees, and turned down Zhao Yingtuo’s offers in exchange for information about Rule Seeds.
• Zhao Yingtuo told Ling Yi that the trial assessment would take place on Aodai Continent, with Cong Xiaoxiao’s participation still uncertain.
• Ling Yi agreed to discuss Rule Seeds with Zhao Yingtuo over lunch, and they traveled to a secluded farmhouse restaurant.
• Ling Yi met Cong Xiaoxiao there, where Zhao Yingtuo urged her to join the trial for protection from the Kami Society.
• Ling Yi and Cong Xiaoxiao discussed the Beast Emperor Cult, and Ling Yi asked Cong Xiaoxiao whether she had discovered something.

Ling Yi warned Director Zhao that Liao Cheng was a parasite, then learned that the nine Rule Seeds were tied to a coming invasion by the exotic beast civilization. The chapter ended with Ling Yi questioning whether the exotic beasts had planted the seeds themselves.

• Ling Yi insisted that Liao Cheng was a parasite, while Zhao Yingtuo doubted the claim and Cong Xiaoxiao asked how Ling Yi knew.
• Cong Xiaoxiao welcomed her frail grandfather, Elder Cong, and he teased her about Ling Yi before leaving to cook.

• Zhao Yingtuo said all nine Rule Seeds had chosen human hosts and that the Space Rule Seed was believed to be in Baihai City, possibly with Ling Yi.
• Zhao Yingtuo revealed that the Rule Seeds' hosts would die when the seeds matured, triggering a full-scale exotic beast invasion and offering humanity a chance to advance.
• Cong Xiaoxiao suggested the seeds might only be able to choose humans, and Ling Yi asked whether the exotic beast civilization had planted them.

Ling Yi learned the truth about the Rule Seeds and used his System Shop to help Cong Xiaoxiao, whose secrets and knowledge revealed a path to the Saint Realm. He recruited her as his underling and gave her a Dao Enlightenment Pill before vanishing, leaving her to ask her system to appraise it.

• Ling Yi gave Zhao Yingtuo a blood-red stone containing the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Technique and blood Qi combat techniques.
• Cong Xiaoxiao told Ling Yi that she had secretly taken the Space Rule Seed, that Liao Cheng had schemed against his parents, and that the nine Rule Seeds could create a small world or help their hosts ascend to the Saint Realm.
• Ling Yi gave Cong Xiaoxiao a Rejuvenation Pill for her grandfather, then discussed joining the experimental class's trial assessment with her.
• Ling Yi offered to help Cong Xiaoxiao's grandfather reach the Dao Practitioner Realm or Saint Realm, and Cong Xiaoxiao agreed to become his underling in exchange for a Dao Enlightenment Pill.
• Ling Yi redeemed and gave Cong Xiaoxiao a Dao Enlightenment Pill, then vanished using a spatial talent; Cong Xiaoxiao asked her system to appraise the pills.

Ling Yi reviewed his new gains, learned that the Kami Society had met with Song Qiming, and discovered Cheng Yun was hiding his true strength and status as a parasite host. After a new tree-planting system appeared at midnight, Ling Yi joined the group heading to the trial assessment.

• Ling Yi learned from Tangtang that Song Qiming had sealed the Beast Arena with a formation and was meeting more than twenty Kami Society members in the Divine Ability Realm and two in the Venerable One Realm.
• Ling Yi examined his unknown exotic beast egg, then saw the system refresh with a tree-planting golden finger and one hundred Demonic Tree Seeds.
• Cheng Yun woke Ling Yi and took him toward the trial assessment, where Ling Yi explained he had traded Director Zhao the method for condensing Qi and blood.
• Ling Yi recalled using a probing skill to discover Cheng Yun was a rank-nine Divine Ability Realm parasite host, far stronger than he appeared.
• Ling Yi and Cheng Yun arrived outside Baihai City, where Ling Yi joined the assessment group of city guards and students and recognized Cong Xiaoxiao and Gao Lingyun.

Ling Yi traveled with Cong Xiaoxiao and other candidates toward a trial on the Aodai Continent, where they were supposed to find Hidden Cloud Grass in a folded dimension. After learning the grass was used to make potions for secondary awakeners, he quietly fed Pet Beast Pills to their Iron Bat Beasts, considering how to use his newly permanent Tree-Planting System.

• Ling Yi suspected Gao Lingyun was a parasite working for Liao Cheng, while Song Qiming was being used as a pawn, and then boarded an Iron Bat Beast with Cong Xiaoxiao.
• After the Iron Bat Beasts took off, Liao Cheng told Cheng Yun that more sacrifices would be necessary for humanity’s victory.
• Yu Cheng told Ling Yi that the trial involved finding Hidden Cloud Grass in a folded dimension where only non-awakeners could enter, and that candidates from other countries would also compete.
• Yu Cheng revealed that Hidden Cloud Grass was the main ingredient in Secondary Awakener Potions and that his cousin Liao Yunrou was a teacher at Ling Yi’s school and Liao Cheng’s niece.
• Ling Yi bought two Concealment Pills, then exchanged points for three Pet Beast Pills and sent them into the mouths of the Iron Bat Beasts with spatial power.

Ling Yi fought six tier-eight Blazing Birds after they attacked the flying group, then used the Beast Emperor Parasitic Offspring on one of them to make it a parasite mother for his growing army of tree-planting beasts. Gao Lingyun fled toward the trial grounds, worried about his mission and hoping to meet Young Master Song.

• Six tier-eight Blazing Birds attacked the Iron Bat Beasts, and Gao Lingyun escaped by hiding with his dark talent.
• Ling Yi sent the Iron Bat Beasts toward the trial grounds and stayed behind to fight the Blazing Birds with his Qi and blood skills and five Spirits of Qi and Blood.
• Ling Yi overwhelmed the Blazing Birds and chased them as they tried to flee, while Gao Lingyun watched from hiding.
• Ling Yi used the Beast Emperor Parasitic Offspring on one Blazing Bird, turning it into a parasite mother that could produce parasites and control more exotic beasts.
• Gao Lingyun flew toward the trial grounds to find Young Master Song, fearing the consequences of failing the mission.

Ling Yi waited for the folded dimension to open while Gao Lingyun’s betrayal and the concealed awakened from Amalican threatened the trial. As Demonic Trees planted near Mount Everest began feeding Ling Yi power, he led the students into the newly opened dimension.

• Gao Lingyun arrived at the trial site, recognized Ling Yi, and dismissed warnings that the city guards would report his desertion.
• Ling Yi gave Cong Xiaoxiao a Concealment Pill, and they discussed Amalican’s supposedly ordinary participants who were actually awakened in disguise.
• A city guard warned Ling Yi to be careful of Gao Lingyun, while Ling Yi and Cong Xiaoxiao suspected Chief Commander Liao Cheng was a parasite.
• Ling Yi learned that six Blazing Birds had planted one hundred Demonic Trees near Mount Everest, and the trees began devouring exotic beasts and granting him attributes and shop points.
• The folded dimension opened, and Ling Yi led the students toward the entrance as the Amalican group watched them closely.

Ling Yi killed the hostile group surrounding his team before their battle could destabilize the folded dimension, then explored the world with Cong Xiaoxiao and discussed how Rule Seeds could create a new world. After learning that Cong Xiaoxiao’s system granted her daily experience and confirming he could obtain Rule Seeds, Ling Yi said he would ascend in six months.

• Ling Yi led his team into the folded dimension, where people from multiple countries surrounded them and the dimension began to destabilize.
• Ling Yi used his Spirit of Qi and Blood skill to kill the surrounding parasite hosts and Kami Society members, stabilizing the dimension.
• Ling Yi sent his companions to search for Hidden Cloud Grass and teleported with Cong Xiaoxiao to the summit of Mount Everest.
• Cong Xiaoxiao shared her theory about the Exotic Beast Planet and the folded dimensions, and Ling Yi acquired an S-rank time talent.
• Ling Yi explained that one person could create a world by gathering all nine mature Rule Seeds, then learned that Cong Xiaoxiao’s system awarded her experience points daily.
• Cong Xiaoxiao discovered Ling Yi could obtain Rule Seeds through his system, and Ling Yi said he would ascend in six months.

Ling Yi received a golden finger that made anyone who called him Boss a permanently loyal underling, but its benefits seemed limited inside the folded dimension. He founded the Heaven-Exploding Gang and gave his nineteen followers pills and Qi and Blood skills to prepare them for fighting after they left.

• Ling Yi learned that the group had to wait seven days for spatial rifts to appear and expected his demon trees to mature soon afterward.
• At midnight, Ling Yi’s system refreshed with a skill that gave him a ten-thousandfold return when his underlings grew stronger.
• The next morning, Yu Cheng and the others called Ling Yi Boss, unknowingly becoming his loyal underlings.
• Ling Yi established the Heaven-Exploding Gang and named the nineteen people its first members.
• Ling Yi gave each member a Blood Condensation Pill and three Qi and Blood Skill Inheritance Stones, then told them to practice before they left the folded dimension.

During seven days in the Folded Dimension, Ling Yi gained enormous physique through his followers’ cultivation while cycling through strange daily systems. Outside, Moer warned the other beast emperors of an awakening threat, as Song Qiming prepared to ambush Ling Yi when the spatial rift opened.

• Ling Yi distributed the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Technique, and his followers’ gains produced over two million physique points through ten-thousandfold feedback.
• Ling Yi’s daily systems included one-punch, fishing, exercise, monster-killing, working, and finger-snapping abilities, most of which he dismissed as useless.
• At Mount Everest, Demonic Trees slaughtered the invading exotic beasts, and Moer urged Maer and Faer to retreat because an unbeatable existence was awakening.
• Maer agreed to retrieve up to five Rule Seed hosts within half a month before the beast emperors withdrew, and Moer ordered their forces to stop probing the Demonic Trees.
• Song Qiming used the Song Family’s Formation Pillars to prepare a Spiritual Power Suppression Domain around the valley as the spatial rift opened.
• Liao Cheng and Cheng Yun discussed Song Qiming’s coming attack and Ling Yi’s rapid growth, while Liao Cheng said Song Wancheng had been informed.

Ling Yi emerged with Cong Xiaoxiao and his gang, then used a finger-snapping skill to let them slaughter the Kami Society forces. After learning that his rapid growth could make the Space Rule Seed mature within months, he uncovered a plan to kill hosts and delay the coming beast invasion—and learned that Liao Cheng and Cheng Yun were hosts too.

• Ling Yi arrived with Cong Xiaoxiao, Yu Cheng, and the others, and told the Heaven-Exploding Gang to attack the Kami Society.
• Ling Yi snapped his fingers, forcing Song Qiming, the hidden Venerable One Realm cultivator, and some contracted beasts to snap along while Yu Cheng and the gang attacked and wiped out the Kami Society.
• Ling Yi struck Song Qiming so hard that he flew away, then questioned the surviving middle-aged Venerable One cultivator about why people wanted him dead.
• The cultivator explained that the Rule Seeds would eventually trigger a beast invasion and that Ling Yi's growth could make the Space Rule Seed mature in a month or two.
• The cultivator admitted that multiple parties had approved Song Qiming's attempt to kill Ling Yi to delay the invasion, and revealed that Liao Cheng and Cheng Yun were also hosts.

Ling Yi returned to Baihai City and learned that the Kami Society had targeted Cong Xiaoxiao and her grandfather, while the exotic beasts were preparing a full-scale invasion. After discovering the Beast Emperors planned to flee with their planet because of his strength, Ling Yi decided to meet with them.

• Song Wanlin explained that some people wanted to use the Rule Seeds to cultivate powerful human fighters, but Ling Yi kept the control method he found in his System Shop to himself.
• Ling Yi and Cong Xiaoxiao returned to her farmhouse, where Elder Cong revealed he had killed Kami Society members who tried to capture him; Cong Xiaoxiao vowed to deal with the society after it targeted her grandfather.
• Cong Xiaoxiao's system explained that the world after Ascension followed an immortal cultivation system, where Saint Realm strength was roughly equivalent to Foundation Establishment and Spiritual Power used a conversion ratio of ten thousand to one.
• The Blazing Bird told Ling Yi that the three Beast Emperors were mustering their armies and would likely attack within four days, while the Demonic Trees were still growing around Mount Everest.
• Cong Xiaoxiao learned from her system that a ninth-tier Beast Emperor with an SSS-rank time talent had foreseen Ling Yi's power, prompting the Beast Emperors to prepare to take their planet into a dimensional rift after seizing the Rule Seeds' hosts.
• Ling Yi considered stopping the Beast Emperors from fleeing and decided to go talk to them.

After the Exotic Beast Planet fled, Ling Yi spent a month on Blue Star before ascending to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, where he discovered his system had changed and its shop was gone. As he considered how to use his new system, he witnessed masked men pursuing a carriage and a young man called Young Master Ye.

• Ling Yi stayed on Blue Star for a month, growing stronger while humanity’s governments purged the Kami Society and Beast Emperor Cult with help from undercover agents.
• Ling Yi ascended and found that his system had updated to version 2.0, replacing daily golden-finger refreshes with an annual cycle and removing the System Shop.
• Ling Yi reviewed the items he had bought before ascending, including a Personal Small World and an immortal cultivation edition Devil Fruit Tree.
• Ling Yi heard a carriage racing up White Cloud Mountain’s road while more than twenty masked men pursued it.
• Uncle Mo freed the young man from the carriage and told him to flee into the forest, then attacked the pursuers to hold them back.
• The masked men surrounded Young Master Ye in a clearing, and he wounded his horse to launch himself at one of them.

Ling Yi rescued Ye Chen from the black-clad assassins, accepted him as his disciple, and brought him to the Heaven-Exploding Sect in his personal small world. Ye Chen discovered his master had given him rare Saint-tier techniques and began cultivating in the sect’s unusually dense spiritual Qi.

• Ye Chen killed one black-clad attacker and prepared to face the rest before Ling Yi appeared and offered to take him as a disciple.
• Ye Chen accepted Ling Yi as his master, and the system rewarded Ling Yi with Saint-tier techniques, spells, and improved spiritual roots.
• Ling Yi killed the remaining black-clad men and took Ye Chen to the Heaven-Exploding Sect inside his personal small world.
• Ling Yi showed Ye Chen the modern academy and assigned him dormitory room 101, leaving him with four booklets and a mobile phone.
• Ye Chen absorbed the four techniques into his memory, learned about cultivation ranks and the Hundred Leaps Sect, and began cultivating in the dense spiritual Qi.

Ling Yi reached the Golden Core Realm through feedback from Ye Chen’s rapid cultivation and set out to learn about the world. After a lightning spell struck him by accident, he pretended to be injured and met a compassionate direct disciple of the Hundred Leaps Sect.

• Ye Chen advanced to the third layer of Qi Refining, and Ling Yi received feedback that raised his cultivation to the Golden Core Fourth Heaven.
• Ye Chen reached beginner mastery of Dark Shadow Clone, giving Ling Yi proficient mastery, and Ling Yi left White Cloud Mountain while shadow clones followed the black-clad men and Ye Chen’s surviving coachman.
• A woman in a passing carriage successfully cast her Lightning Summoning Art, striking Ling Yi, who pretended to collapse by the roadside.
• The woman ordered her attendants to give Ling Yi a Spirit-Nurturing Pill and kicked one attendant for handling him roughly.
• The woman fed Ling Yi the pill, which he secretly stored in his System Space, and he opened his eyes and thanked her.

Ling Yi learned about the Immortal Cultivation Realm from Ran Xiyue, discovered that her sect master had been stuck at the Golden Core Realm for nearly a century, and decided to leave Border Sea City in search of a promising disciple. Before departing, he gave Ran Xiyue a crystal core containing a Saint Tier cultivation technique and a powerful skill.

• Ran Xiyue told Ling Yi that reaching higher cultivation realms required aptitude, resources, fortuitous opportunities, and breakthroughs in one's state of mind, and revealed that the Hundred Leaps Sect's sect master had been stuck at the Golden Core Realm for nearly a hundred years.
• Ran Xiyue explained the six regions of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Hundred Leaps Sect's strict rules for accepting disciples, while Ling Yi resolved to seek a maximum-star disciple.
• Ling Yi told Ran Xiyue he was leaving, declined her offer to find him a job, and accepted a bottle of Spirit-Nurturing Pills from her.
• Ling Yi gave Ran Xiyue an inheritance crystal core containing the Saint Tier Golden Body Formula and the skill Thunder Storm, then departed as she watched him leave.

Ling Yi searched Border Sea City’s slave market for people with strong potential and secretly took ten of them to the Heaven-Exploding Sect’s personal small world. He offered to teach them immortal cultivation if they became his disciples, and Lin Huai accepted first, prompting the others to follow.

• Ling Yi let the two men hunting him leave rather than risk implicating Ran Xiyue, then went to Border Sea City’s trading market.
• Ling Yi found ten people with potential above six stars, including the injured Lin Huai, the unexplained nine-star Lin Dong, and the twin sisters Shi Rui and Shi Yun.
• When he saw the sisters being harassed by prospective buyers, Ling Yi used his will to bring all ten people into his personal small world and teleported there himself.
• Ling Yi introduced the Heaven-Exploding Sect and offered to make the ten people immortal cultivators if they took him as their master, while explaining that they could later leave and bring their families after making progress.
• Lin Huai knelt and paid his respects to Ling Yi as his master, and the other nine followed his lead.
