Chapter Summaries

After Meng Po escaped, Ling Yi used the Heavenly Dao Blessing to persuade Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi to hunt evildoers, while Northern Yuan’s princesses waited for the succession struggle to develop. Tianji negotiated with the wounded Meng Po for the Bloodthirst Art, and in Southern Yun, a young man arrived at Willow Lake Temple to steal Xiao Chen’s opportunity.

• Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi searched for Meng Po for hours but failed to find her, and Ling Yi convinced them that killing evildoers might strengthen the Heavenly Dao Blessing.
• Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianquan, and Kaiyang discussed the succession crisis and decided to wait rather than openly support Tianji or Ji Mengyao.
• Tianji visited the weakened Meng Po, who offered her the Bloodthirst Art and revealed details about the Qingyun Clan and the Heavenly Baleful Energy Sect.

• A young man arrived at Willow Lake Temple with his donkey, learned that stealing the Yin-Yang Reversal Art from Xiao Chen would earn at least ten thousand Villain Points, and entered the temple.

Ling Yi confronted Ji Wufeng, the Qingyun Clan sect master, after recognizing him beneath a beggar disguise. When Ji Wufeng killed nearby civilians with his aura and demanded to know about Ling Yi’s Heavenly Dao Blessing, Ling Yi shared the Fifty-Fifty System with him, causing Ji Wufeng’s presence to weaken.

• Tianji ordered Wufa, Wutian, and Wuxin to guard BeiDou Hall, while Empress Ji seized control of court affairs and dismissed Tianxuan and Tianji from their positions.

• Ling Yi felt Ji Wufeng’s presence rapidly weaken after the system was shared.

Ling Yi used the Fifty-Fifty cheat to strip Ji Wufeng of his cultivation, then killed him after testing the cheat’s effects. In Southern Yun Nation, Xiao Chen’s future master’s death earned the donkey-riding youth Villain Points, and he set off toward the Haotian Empire to take Xiao Chen’s greatest opportunity.

• Ling Yi found that the Fifty-Fifty cheat had turned Ji Wufeng into an ordinary person and summoned Huo Yun and two Azure Dragon Army soldiers to test how the cheat reacted to their attacks.
• Ji Wufeng’s cultivation briefly returned while the soldiers beat him, but Ling Yi called them off and then killed Ji Wufeng with Sword Qi when his cultivation vanished again.

Ling Yi showed Emperor Xiao the suffering of Northern Yuan’s people while the court factions prepared to fight over the throne. Princess Tianji’s use of the Bloodthirst Art turned the palace crisis into open battle, and Ling Yi watched as her three masked fighters took Yuan-Bursting Pills.

• Ling Yi explained to Emperor Xiao that the people’s poverty and lack of grief over his supposed death came from the court’s exploitation, prompting Emperor Xiao to reconsider the state of Northern Yuan.

• Ling Yi watched from hiding with Wang Xiu and learned that the three women’s families were imprisoned beneath Tianji Palace and that the pills had made them impossible to save.

Ling Yi used his upgraded system to save Wuxin, Wutian, and Wufa after they took Yuan-Bursting Pills, while Princess Tianji escalated the battle by summoning and empowering her Blood Baleful Energy Army. As the army prepared to attack, Ling Yi discovered that Xiao Chen had maximum 10-star Karmic Luck and wondered if he was the protagonist.

• Ling Yi shared the Infinite Qi and Blood System and the Fifty-Fifty System with Wuxin, Wutian, and Wufa, allowing them to survive the Yuan-Bursting Pills despite their cultivation falling to Body Tempering Realm Third Layer.

• Tianji activated the Blood Baleful Energy Technique and Blood Explosion Technique, boosting her soldiers to the Half-Step Supreme Realm.
• Ling Yi inspected Tianji and Xiao Chen’s system panels and found that Xiao Chen had 10-star Karmic Luck and Divine Pin innate aptitude.

Emperor Xiao returned as a Dao Comprehension Realm expert, crushed the Qingyun Clan, and ordered Princess Tianji’s execution while taking the Blood Baleful Energy Army into custody. Half a month later, Tianji had escaped, the army was reported dead, and Ling Yi suspected both had gone underground as he prepared to leave Northern Yuan.

• Emperor Xiao killed the Qingyun Clan’s elders and disciples, while Empress Ji fainted and Princess Tianji’s cultivation surged as she resisted him.

• Over the following half month, Meng Po rescued Tianji, the Blood Baleful Energy Army was reported dead in the inner prison, and Seventh Princess Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi disappeared from Northern Yuan City.

Ling Yi, Yaoguang, and Yuan Ziyi entered the Land of Chaos, where Ling Yi planned to find a good person and deal with the Heavenly Baleful Energy Sect. At an inn, Ling Yi noticed Lin Bei, a young man with ten-star Karmic Luck.

• Ling Yi spotted Lin Bei eating noodles and identified his ten-star Karmic Luck, martial skills, and cultivation through his status information.

Ling Yi and his companions witnessed Lin Bei, a Body Tempering cultivator who had comprehended the Martial Dao, kill two Spirit Refining assassins with a single swift strike. After explaining how Lin Bei could comprehend the Dao as a mortal, Ling Yi decided to settle in Water City and observe him.

• Ling Yi invited Lin Bei for drinks and explained to Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi that Lin Bei had comprehended the Martial Dao despite his mortal aptitude and Body Tempering cultivation.
• Ling Yi shared his insight that the Dao could be perceived in the rhythms of everyday things, then reviewed his system and the golden fingers he had shared with various people.
• Ling Yi explained that he had given Lin Bei the Devouring Evolution System to compensate for his poor aptitude and had limited Emperor Xiao's shared powers because of his plan to build the Blood Baleful Energy Army.
• Ling Yi chose to settle in Water City so he could observe Lin Bei for a few days.

Xiao Chen, Meng Po, and Tianji escaped into the Land of Chaos after fighting off nine experts, while Ling Yi’s group settled in Water City and discovered that their heavenly blessings had granted powerful systems. The chapter left Tianji suspecting Ling Yi was behind her group’s new abilities, though Meng Po questioned why he would help them.

• Xiao Chen used a ring of blood baleful energy to drive back five attackers, then carried Tianji and Meng Po across the Sand River into the Land of Chaos.
• Wang Xiu arrived after the trio had crossed the river and chose not to inform the Haotian Empire.
• A week later, Lin Bei ignored Ling Yi when they met outside neighboring courtyards near Water City, unaware that he had gained a devouring evolution system.
• Xiao Chen, Tianji, and Meng Po discovered their infinite treasure refining system and used Infinite Synthesis to create weapons and equipment.
• Tianji told Xiao Chen and Meng Po that Ling Yi might have granted them their abilities through heavenly Dao blessings, citing the sudden breakthroughs and other impossible changes in Northern Yuan.

Xiao Chen, Meng Po, and Tianji discussed the Bloodthirst Art and the ruthless rules of the Land of Chaos, while Lin Bei accepted a dangerous assassination mission to support his sick sister. As Lin Bei entered sudden enlightenment in Secluded Passage Forest, Ling Yi’s system showed new spider abilities in his gene bank.

• Meng Po urged Xiao Chen to gather resources and grow stronger, and explained that practitioners in the Land of Chaos commonly used the Bloodthirst Art to devour their victims’ blood and Qi.
• Lin Bei turned in a mission at the Blood Slaughter Hall and accepted a fourth-pin mission to kill a third-level Spirit Nian Realm Supreme for yuan crystals and a Blue Pattern Saber.
• Lin Bei accepted the dangerous mission because his younger sister, Lin Xin'er, needed an increasing supply of yuan crystals to survive.
• The red-robed elder told Lin Bei that his target would travel alone through Secluded Passage Forest in three days, giving him a chance to strike.
• Lin Bei went to Secluded Passage Forest and used his unique Dao of Comprehension to merge with the surrounding force fields and enter sudden enlightenment.
• Ling Yi checked his system page and saw Spider-Sense and Spider Silk Spinning listed in his gene bank.

Lin Bei tested his newly activated gene-editing cheat in Secluded Passage Forest, where Xiao Chen and Tianji encountered him while traveling toward Salt City. After they fled his overwhelming abilities, Lin Bei considered pursuing them and targeting Salt City himself.

• Ling Yi examined Lin Bei’s editable gene bank and found little use for its current genes, while discovering that the Yuan Artifacts Xiao Chen and the others synthesized obeyed his thoughts.
• Xiao Chen and Tianji headed from Water City toward Salt City, planning to rob its warehouses with the help of a fifth-grade storage bag made by synthesizing sixteen smaller bags.
• Xiao Chen and Tianji sensed a terrifying presence in Secluded Passage Forest and found Lin Bei sitting alone in a clearing.

• Lin Bei considered Salt City’s wealth and realized his new strength might let him seize it.

Xiao Chen, Tianji, and Meng Po planned their next move after secretly splitting most of Salt City's stolen Yuan Crystals, then encountered Ling Yi at Blood Slaughter Hall. Ling Yi recognized Situ Wan'er, saw through her Dao of Emotionless, and left her questioning her cultivation.

• Xiao Chen and Tianji returned from Salt City with 760 million Yuan Crystals, but Tianji gave Meng Po only 20 million and split the rest with Xiao Chen.
• Meng Po proposed disguising themselves, taking a Blood Slaughter Hall mission, and traveling to Stone City to acquire Yuan artifacts.
• Meng Po, Tianji, and Xiao Chen arrived at Blood Slaughter Hall as Ling Yi, Yaoguang, and Yuan Ziyi entered; Lin Bei's clone watched from nearby.
• Ling Yi accepted a mission targeting Fast Saber Lin Bei, then recognized the red-robed mission giver as Situ Wan'er and challenged the mission's suitability.
• Ling Yi told Situ Wan'er that her Dao of Emotionless was borrowed rather than her own, and she crushed the mission token after hearing his words.

Ling Yi tested whether Situ Wan'er’s emotions and memories could affect her Karmic Luck, drawing her out with candied hawthorns while reflecting on his lack of attachment to the world. He planned to visit Situ Hao and the Haotian Empire, while leaving Lin Bei’s future development to unfold.

• Situ Wan'er told Ling Yi that her father had chosen the Dao of Emotionless for her, and Ling Yi took her out to make candied hawthorns.
• Meng Po and Tianji left Xiao Chen, who decided to head for Stone City alone.
• Ling Yi made two batches of candied hawthorns, and Situ Wan'er preferred the first batch because it matched her childhood memories.
• Ling Yi told Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi that he planned to visit Situ Hao in Heavenly Baleful Energy City and then travel to the Haotian Empire.
• Ling Yi said Lin Bei’s rise depended on how he developed and contrasted Lin Bei’s inventive use of Devouring Evolution with Xiao Chen’s rigid thinking.

• Attackers fired crossbow bolts from the bamboo forest, but Ling Yi immobilized them and shattered them with a snap of his fingers.

Ling Yi learned that Salt City's forces had come after him and Situ Wan'er, after Tianji and Meng Po framed them for robbing Salt City's warehouse.

• Liu Baiheng led nearly a hundred Salt City people out of the woods and demanded that Ling Yi hand over what they had stolen.

• Guan Hong conjured a water dragon and bound Ling Yi, who let it restrain him to test the power of a perfected Dao.
• Ling Yi reviewed his system and noted that he had taken back Tianji and Meng Po's golden fingers after they schemed against him.

Ling Yi and his companions overwhelmed Guan Hong and three other Salt City cultivators, then learned that a Blood Spirit Grand Formation threatened the Land of Chaos. Situ Wan'er accused Li Xiaoyue of being the real mastermind behind the formation, leaving his involvement unresolved.

• Yuan Ziyi and Yaoguang pierced Guan Hong and his men with powerful Sword Qi, and Ling Yi shattered Guan Hong's water dragon with his gene-bank abilities.
• Ling Yi combined his lightning ability with the Dao of Thunder, drove three hidden cultivators from the bamboo grove, and forced them and Guan Hong to surrender.
• Li Xiaoyue claimed Situ Hao had prepared a Blood Spirit Grand Formation to drain the Land of Chaos and reach Void Breaking, and said the group had tried to kidnap Situ Wan'er to stop him.
• Situ Wan'er challenged Li Xiaoyue's claim, saying he had stolen the General Compendium of the Formation Dao and could be seeking to seize the formation for himself.
• Situ Wan'er accused Li Xiaoyue of secretly creating the Blood Spirit Grand Formation to advance his own cultivation, while he denied being the notorious traitor from the Heaven and Earth Sect.

Ling Yi and his allies uncovered the plot behind Situ Hao’s thirty-six Blood Spirit Grand Formations and killed the conspirators who planned to sacrifice hundreds of millions of people. Ling Yi realized he had reached the Dao Integration Realm and decided he needed secluded cultivation to master his new power.

• Ling Yi gave Li Xiaoyue a final chance, but Yaoguang killed him with the BeiDou Seven Stars Sword Qi.
• Jiang Wuyang revealed that Situ Hao had established thirty-six Blood Spirit Grand Formations using Blood Shadow Clones, while the conspirators expected to claim Blood Fusion Pearls from sixteen cities.

• Yaoguang and Yuan Ziyi killed Jiang Wuyang, Guan Hong, Zhao Yunhu, and the others, devastating a thousand-meter stretch of bamboo forest.
• Ling Yi saw that his system recorded Dao integration at two percent and considered entering secluded cultivation to adapt to his power.

Ling Yi entered seclusion and triggered a Domain that transported Yaoguang, Yuan Ziyi, and Situ Wan'er into a strange modern city. While they tried to understand the Domain, Ling Yi examined his upgraded Version 3.0 system and its simplified cultivation, Dao, and golden-finger features.

• Ling Yi casually sat down to enter seclusion, leaving Yaoguang, Yuan Ziyi, and Situ Wan'er to wonder how he had gained strength without ever seeming to cultivate.
• A huge lightning sphere transformed through many colors and vanished, replacing the grove with a city of tall buildings, roads, vehicles, and scantily dressed passersby.
• Situ Wan'er identified the unfamiliar place as a possible Dao Principles Domain and explained that its controller could be invincible within it.
• Yaoguang and Situ Wan'er found Ling Yi still meditating on the original stone, unaware that he was testing the Domain skill through his system.
• Ling Yi saw that his Golden Finger Sharing System had upgraded to Version 3.0, with revised cultivation ranks, the Evolution Art, and a leveled system for Dao Comprehension and Domain.

Ling Yi discovered that he could edit the effects and interfaces of the golden fingers he shared, while his level-one domain recreated the buildings of Dafeng City. As Tianji and Meng Po reacted to the loss of their Heavenly Dao Blessings, Xiao Chen used his system to refine a powerful crossbow that Ling Yi recognized as a sniper rifle.

• Ling Yi tested his domain by recreating Dafeng City and discovered that he could configure the strength and interface of shared golden fingers.
• Tianji and Meng Po realized their Heavenly Dao Blessings had disappeared and suspected Ling Yi could control them; they decided to seek Xiao Chen in Stone City.
• Meng Po left after confronting Tianji, who secretly planned to visit her seventh sister and blame Meng Po before heading toward Secluded Passage Forest.
• In Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge, Xiao Chen experimented with his Infinite Treasure Refining System and used numerous materials, affinity stones, and a clone to refine a crossbow.
• Xiao Chen tested the crossbow and found that it could automatically aim and fire powerful shots over three thousand meters, while Ling Yi recognized it as a sniper rifle.

• Lin Bei and Xiao Chen agreed to seek out Ling Yi, but Meng Po appeared nearby and asked Xiao Chen to forge ninth-grade Yuan Artifacts for twenty million Yuan Crystals.
• Lin Bei identified himself as a Blood Droplet and demanded more payment; Meng Po offered the Bloodthirst Heaven Devouring Art as well, and Xiao Chen attacked her with his hand crossbow.
• Meng Po escaped using a secret art, but Xiao Chen recovered her fallen storage bag and found more than twenty million Yuan Crystals, the Bloodthirst Heaven Devouring Art, and a drawing inside.
• Xiao Chen told Lin Bei about the blood pool and the lives sacrificed to create it, revealing his hatred of the Bloodthirst Art and his determination to kill Meng Po; Lin Bei suggested combining the book with Xiao Chen's weapon.
