Ling Yi sold thousands of Divine Ability Fruits, growing stronger and earning a vast supply of spirit stones while the cultivators trapped in the Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm remained besieged. His system upgraded to version 3.0, and the chapter left him with a greatly improved farming space but no resolution to the crisis in the Demon Beast Realm.

• After gaining a cultivation breakthrough from the Bear-Bear Fruit transaction, Zhang Hai apologized to Ling Yi, paid twenty million spirit stones, and asked about buying more fruits.

• Ling Yi checked his system interface and found that it had upgraded to version 3.0, increasing the farming space’s maximum time multiplier to 10,000 and its farmland to 1,000 mu.

Ling Yi continued adapting to his maxed-out Divine Abilities and prepared to auction Devil Fruit Tree Seeds after receiving an intuition that planting the trees across the Immortal Cultivation Realm would bring unexpected gains.

• Xiao Zining told Ling Yi that she could expel her demon bloodline upon reaching Nascent Soul Realm, but Cailin wanted to awaken her Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python bloodline first and turn her fully into a demon beast.

Ling Yi arrived at Demon Emperor City with Peng Demon King, learned how Peng’s rebellion began, and demanded that he release Cailin and Tuntian Demon Emperor. After Peng freed them, Tuntian rejected Cailin’s bond with Ling Yi and attacked him with spatial power.

• Peng Demon King told Ling Yi that the Immortal Emperor had given him an artifact to counter Tuntian Demon Emperor’s spatial talent, and that his son’s theft of it had exposed his plans and set off the rebellion.

• Peng brought Cailin and Tuntian before Ling Yi, and Cailin refused her father’s demand to dissolve her contract with Ling Yi.

Ling Yi left for the Due Eastern Region after thwarting the Tuntian Demon Emperor, while Cailin urged her father to submit because of Ling Yi's limitless Karmic Luck. During the journey, the Peng Demon King explained the invaders' abilities, the route to the Immortal Realm, and how an escalating war had hindered the Demon Beast Realm's earlier invasion.

Ling Yi learned how Cailin’s injury had sparked the Demon Beast Realm’s invasion, then entered the Due Eastern Region and encountered three players who mistook him for a BOSS. He erased their levels and cultivation, leaving them stunned as they received orders to retreat.

• The Tuntian Demon Emperor explained that Cailin had entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, been attacked and injured, and that his attempt to rescue her escalated into war.

• The players discovered they had lost access to their skills and inventory, and Xiao Xian Nü reported that their boss ordered them to stop attacking and return to town.

Ling Yi opened the Demon Beast Realm to the Immortal and Demon Realms, then spread Devil Fruit Tree Seeds across the Three Realms and learned that the Player System was sending workers to conquer worlds to preserve his chances of finding native origin worlds.

Ling Yi discovered that he had entered a modern cultivation world and awakened a bullet-screen ability that revealed narration and let him copy text. After copying an incomplete technique that could convert Qi and Blood into Spiritual Power, he weighed the danger of cultivating it against his lack of options.

• Ling Yi realized he had transmigrated into a cultivation class, where his Spiritual Power ranked last in the school and Wang Daquan ranked second-last.
• Ling Yi activated his bullet-screen ability and read Gao Xiaoshuai’s thoughts about his students and his hopes of earning an outstanding teacher certification.
• Ling Yi switched from monologue to narration and learned about Gao Xiaoshuai’s incomplete Blood Spirit Art, which could convert Qi and Blood into Spiritual Power.
• Ling Yi used the copy function to absorb the Blood Spirit Art, then recognized that its incomplete meridian routes made it dangerous to cultivate.
• Ling Yi wondered whether he had any choice but to cultivate the incomplete technique.

Ling Yi decided to cultivate the Blood Spirit Art to raise his Spiritual Power before the school’s test, despite its hunger-inducing side effects. After gaining two points in one day, he discovered that the art also caused temporary meridian pain and planned to visit the black market with Wang Daquan for Qi and Blood Pills.

• Wang Daquan told Ling Yi that he had overheard directions to Dafeng City’s black market, and Ling Yi agreed to go with him the next night.
• Ling Yi bought twenty thousand yuan’s worth of Vine Pig Demonic Beast meat using money from Qi Gathering Pills he had sold to Zhao Wenwen.
• Ling Yi cultivated the Blood Spirit Art at home, ate two jin of meat to recover from the resulting hunger, and saw his Spiritual Power rise from 2 points to 3.
• Ling Yi repeated the cultivation and eating cycle, raising his Spiritual Power to 4 points before sharp pain struck his meridians.
• Ling Yi found that the meridian pain had passed but decided to limit himself to two minor cycles a day, and he planned to check the black market for Qi and Blood Pills.

Ling Yi and Wang Daquan prepared to visit Dafeng City's black market, exchanging money for spirit stones and buying disguises. Ling Yi continued cultivating the Blood Spirit Art while weighing the danger of his rapidly rising Spiritual Power and keeping the technique secret.

• Gao Xiaoshuai lectured Ling Yi and Wang Daquan for half an hour after catching them leaving school.
• Ling Yi and Wang Daquan bought black coats and masks, then exchanged cash for spirit stones to use at the black market.
• Ling Yi told Wang Daquan he had sold three Qi Gathering Pills to another student, and Wang Daquan was relieved the pills had stayed within the school.

• Ling Yi considered the risks of his Spiritual Power rising quickly and decided to keep the Blood Spirit Art's origin and effects secret while he tested it further.

Ling Yi entered a black market hidden in a small-world secret realm and used Narration Bullet Comments to identify valuable spirit stone blind boxes. He chose the first three boxes, surprising the stall owner, just as a stranger stepped in to advise him.

• Wang Daquan gave Ling Yi his two spirit stones and left before entering the black market because he was frightened and did not want to spend them.
• Ling Yi entered the secret realm through a support pillar and explored its night-market streets and gambling stalls.
• At a spirit stone gambling stall, Ling Yi activated Narration Bullet Comments and learned that the first two boxes in the upper-left corner held three and ten spirit stones, respectively, though they were meant for shills.
• Ling Yi paid for three boxes and chose the first three in the upper-left corner, making the stall owner worry about losing money.
• A nearby stranger told Ling Yi that choosing blind boxes in order was not how a beginner should pick them.

Ling Yi met Zhao Wenwen in Dafeng City's black market, learned how Spirit-Concealing Bracelets and Black Market Tokens worked, and opened three blind boxes for a profit. Zhao Wenwen grew suspicious that he could see their contents, and Ling Yi was startled by what the narration comments revealed about her background and intentions.

• Ling Yi ignored Hu Bin's shill, bought three spirit stone blind boxes, and left without opening them at the stall.
• Zhao Wenwen recognized Ling Yi and lent him a Second Pin Spirit-Concealing Bracelet while explaining concealment methods and black market safety.
• Ling Yi opened the three boxes with Zhao Wenwen and found thirteen spirit stones, turning his three-stone purchase into a profit.
• Zhao Wenwen questioned Ling Yi about his Spiritual Power after he asked about hiding his presence, protecting his gains, and obtaining a Black Market Token.
• Ling Yi read narration comments revealing Zhao Wenwen suspected he could see inside blind boxes and possessed a Black Market Token and the copyable Spirit-Concealing Art.

Ling Yi learned that Zhao Wenwen planned to take the Heavenly Dao Sect entrance examination and that cheat users were a newly recognized profession. At a black-market blind-box stall, he used Zhao Mubai’s narration to identify a promising box and left the secret realm with Zhao Wenwen to open it outside.

• Ling Yi learned that Zhao Wenwen hoped to find a teammate for next year’s Heavenly Dao Sect examination and told her his Spiritual Power had risen to six.
• Ling Yi decided to keep opening blind boxes, and he and Zhao Wenwen visited a stall run by a masked seller.
• Ling Yi read narration revealing that the seller was Zhao Mubai, Zhao Wenwen’s brother, and that indented boxes contained spirit stones.
• Ling Yi chose a heavy blind box and told Zhao Wenwen he would open it after leaving the black market.
• Ling Yi and Zhao Wenwen stepped through the secret realm’s vortex and emerged beside the load-bearing pillar.

Ling Yi copied Zhao Wenwen’s perfected Spirit-Concealing Art and realized his system could copy cultivation insights as well as techniques. After making plans to improve his cultivation, he learned that next year’s exam would take place in an artificial secret realm shared with students of other professions, putting young immortal cultivators at a disadvantage.

• Ling Yi opened a blind box with Zhao Wenwen and found sixty spirit stones, then arranged to visit the black market with her again the next day.
• After Zhao Wenwen left, Ling Yi copied her perfected Spirit-Concealing Art and discovered he could conceal his displayed Spiritual Power from anyone below Spirit Transformation.
• Wang Daquan called Ling Yi to apologize for backing out of their black-market trip, and Ling Yi told him that someone had scanned them with Spiritual Sense.
• Ling Yi found that cultivating the Blood Spirit Art still hurt his meridians, so he planned to try higher-grade Demonic Beast meat and a Qi and Blood Pill.
• At school, Ling Yi learned that the next intermediate-class exam would use an artificial secret realm where immortal cultivators would compete alongside students of other professions.
• The teacher explained that early-stage immortal cultivators had little combat power compared with other professions, making the shared secret-realm exam especially difficult for them.
