Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi encountered familiar figures from other Literary Worlds during challenge matches and learned that Boundary Breaking Ones existed across parallel worlds, all expected to clear the Literary Dao Tower. After returning home, he received a Literary Dao Contract granting the Great Qian Empire temporary use of The Ethereal Literary World for the college entrance exam trial, and suspected the Bureau had an ulterior motive.

• Lu Xueqi told Ling Yi to clear the Literary Dao Tower quickly before vanishing, and Ling Yi continued challenging random opponents.
• Ling Yi defeated Dongfang Bai, who called him a Boundary Breaking One and said she had met others like him.
• Ling Yi faced more than thirty familiar challengers and inferred that the Literary Dao Purple Light had appeared in parallel worlds, where each world had a Boundary Breaking One who had yet to clear the tower.
• Ling Yi and Shen Mengmeng left the challenge platform and returned to the real world ahead of the Literary World trial.
• Ling Yi opened a Literary Dao Contract stating that the Great Qian Empire's World Inspection Bureau would pay 100 million Battle Power for temporary use of The Ethereal Literary World, with Fengyuan Star designated as the exam trial ground.
• Ling Yi suspected the World Inspection Bureau had an ulterior motive in choosing Fengyuan Star.

Ling Yi studied the Literary Dao Purple Light’s authority, then entered the Literary World trial with a free random sect disciple identity. He arrived as an outer disciple of Yunxiao Sacred City and wondered how far Li Qiang’s story had progressed.

• Ling Yi signed a Literary Dao Contract for a World Walker who had landed on Fengyuan Star, gaining 100 million Battle Power.
• Ling Yi used the Purple Light Stone to learn how World Walker tiers unlocked Literary Dao abilities and discovered that the Literary Dao Store offered powerful identity and resource cards.
• Ling Yi accepted the Literary World trial and received a random sect disciple identity card, which he recognized as a generous gift to the examinees.
• Ling Yi brought all his Battle Power into The Ethereal Literary World and appeared before a white jade palace as an outer disciple of Yunxiao Sacred City.
• Ling Yi recalled that 246 years had passed inside the Literary World and speculated that Li Qiang had begun cultivating the Divine Heaven Mirror Chapter and obtained a divine artifact.

Ling Yi trained his Might and developed Divine Abilities while serving as a guard in Yunxiao Sacred City. Qian Shanyong discovered Ling Yi's unusual power and challenged him to a spar, then grew alarmed when Ling Yi unleashed an aura at the True Immortal level.

• Ling Yi cultivated Might and practiced his Wind Breaking Divine Ability, planning to advance it toward concealing his Aura and energy vibrations.
• Qian Shanyong sensed Ling Yi's crimson Might, appeared in his courtyard, and found that an invisible force blocked his Divine Sense.
• Ling Yi told Qian Shanyong that he practiced a nameless technique, and Qian Shanyong asked to spar so he could study its power.
• Qian Shanyong sealed the area with a Formation and asked Ling Yi to attack; Ling Yi's punch, backed by a hundred thousand Battle Power, failed to break through his protective Immortal Power.
• At Qian Shanyong's urging, Ling Yi raised his Battle Power to a hundred million, and Qian Shanyong recognized that the resulting presence had reached the True Immortal level.

Ling Yi unleashed his Yuan-level power in space, and its overwhelming pressure threatened Fengyuan Star. The three titans of the Immortal Realm arrived and Yuangu used the Bei Ye Pill Scripture to shield the planet.

• Qian Shanyong stopped Ling Yi from striking again after learning the punch had used only about one-thousandth of Ling Yi's strength.
• Qian Shanyong tested Ling Yi's speed in space, and Ling Yi gained the Void Breaking Divine Ability, which let him move without restraint through obstacles.
• Ling Yi unleashed his Yuan-level Might, and his crimson flames and pressure grew until they threatened Fengyuan Star.
• Qian Shanyong's formation failed, and he feared the pressure would kill him and the planet's inhabitants.
• Yuangu, Azure Emperor, and Boju arrived, identified Ling Yi's power as something that did not belong to their world, and Yuangu used the Bei Ye Pill Scripture to shield Fengyuan Star.

Ling Yi learned that Master Yuangu had uncovered the existence of World Walkers and asked whether natives could leave the Literary World. A prompt offered Ling Yi the choice to let his world's inhabitants become World Walkers, but he warned Yuangu and the others that leaving would likely cost them their cultivation system.

• Master Yuangu explained that the three giants had schemed to use Li Qiang's luck to reach the final step and become gods.
• Master Yuangu told Master Boju, the Azure Emperor, and Qian Shanyong that people from beyond the world could revive under new identities and leave and return freely.
• Ling Yi restrained his surging power and greeted Master Yuangu, the Azure Emperor, and Master Boju.
• Master Yuangu asked whether their world was based on a book and whether its inhabitants could leave it.
• A prompt told Ling Yi that he could let the world's natives become World Walkers and claim half of their gains in other Literary Worlds.
• Ling Yi told Yuangu that becoming a World Walker would likely convert their cultivation into Battle Power and make them give up their current cultivation system.

Ling Yi explained the limits of becoming a World Walker and learned he could appoint a Heavenly Dao to manage his Literary World, though he wanted to slow his rapid rise in Battle Power. Master Yuangu invited him to Huanlang Heaven, where Heavenly Aunt brought him, while the Azure Emperor let Qian Shanyong retain his title and artifact.

• Ling Yi explained that World Walkers converted cultivation into Battle Power and could no longer cultivate techniques from other Literary Worlds, leaving Master Yuangu and the Azure Emperor to consider the choice.
• Ling Yi discovered he could become the Ethereal Literary World's Heavenly Dao or appoint someone else to manage it, and he decided there was no need to rush.
• Master Yuangu invited Ling Yi to Huanlang Heaven, and Heavenly Aunt took him there after he accepted.
• The Azure Emperor told Qian Shanyong he could remain in the Cultivation Realm and keep his Luo Heaven Immortal title and Soul-Slaying Scythe.
• The Azure Emperor and Boju departed, and Qian Shanyong returned to Fengyuan Star.

Inside Huanlang Heaven, Ling Yi explained the nature of World Walkers and revealed that he had created the Literary World, while Heavenly Aunt considered the possibility of gaining control over it. Ling Yi explored the Scripture Pavilion, learned the Sword Restriction Divine Ability, and Heavenly Aunt asked how she could become a World Walker.

• Heavenly Aunt recognized that Ling Yi’s Battle Power was active and could be controlled, unlike that of other World Walkers she had met.
• Ling Yi explained Writers, World Walkers, his creation of the Literary World, and the conditions for gaining absolute control over it.
• Ling Yi crossed a Restriction into the Scripture Pavilion and examined the ancient cultivation methods stored there.
• Ling Yi practiced Sword Restriction for a day and used his second cheat to comprehend the Sword Restriction Divine Ability.
• Heavenly Aunt appeared before Ling Yi and asked how she could become a World Walker.

Ling Yi accepted Heavenly Aunt's request to introduce Literary Dao Purple Light to the Ethereal Literary World, making World Walker Marks available to its inhabitants. He found that Heavenly Aunt's interface listed Blue Star 2025 but could not enter it until its Literary Dao Tower was cleared, while Heavenly Aunt demonstrated her newfound command of Might.

• Heavenly Aunt explained that becoming a god would still leave her trapped in a cage, and Ling Yi agreed to introduce Literary Dao Purple Light after sharing his suspicions about it.
• The Literary Dao Purple Light loaded hidden World Walker Marks for all indigenous inhabitants of the Ethereal Literary World.
• Ling Yi saw Blue Star 2025 on Heavenly Aunt's Literary World list, but her attempt to enter it failed because its Literary Dao Tower had not been cleared.
• Heavenly Aunt comprehended crimson Might and used it to form a pill furnace and refine spirit herbs into pills.
• At the Ancient Sword Academy on Fengyuan Star, Shen Mengmeng and Su Ruoxue saw Senior Sister Liu's World Walker Interface and wondered what the new status meant for the Ethereal Literary World.

Liu Ruonan learned that becoming a World Walker had erased her Spiritual Power, but she discovered that the Jiuyuan Body Tempering Method let her use Battle Power and helped Shen Mengmeng and Su Ruoxue improve theirs. As news of native cultivators becoming World Walkers spread across Fengyuan Star, Ling Yi considered assembling a team to challenge the Literary Dao Tower in the Ethereal Literary World.

• Su Ruoxue and Shen Mengmeng explained World Walkers and Battle Power to Liu Ruonan, who discovered that her cultivation and Spiritual Power had vanished.
• Liu Ruonan used the Jiuyuan Body Tempering Method to channel Battle Power into crimson-white flames, and Su Ruoxue identified the energy as Might.
• Liu Ruonan traded the Jiuyuan Body Tempering Method to Su Ruoxue and Shen Mengmeng for the Might Divine Ability Illusory Steps.
• Liu Ruonan could not enter Blue Star 2025 because someone had to clear its Literary Dao Tower first, and Shen Mengmeng and Su Ruoxue wondered whether it was their world.
• Word of native cultivators becoming World Walkers spread across Fengyuan Star, while Ling Yi considered whether he could challenge the Literary Dao Tower in the Ethereal Literary World and recruit its World Walkers.

Ling Yi explained that World Walkers had to clear the Literary Dao Tower to break free of Blue Star's restrictions and planned to challenge it with Heavenly Aunt, the Azure Emperor, and Master Boju. The three agreed to follow him, calling him both a great terror and a great opportunity.

• Ling Yi learned that the Literary Dao Tower was a required stage for World Walkers, and that clearing it would unlock the next map and higher tiers.
• Ling Yi discussed his Fifth-Tier Might and his inability to reach Sixth-Tier Might, then asked Heavenly Aunt to help him challenge the tower.
• Ling Yi explained that he wanted Heavenly Aunt, the Azure Emperor, and Master Boju to join his team as World Walkers.
• Heavenly Aunt summoned the Azure Emperor and Master Boju to Huanlang Heaven, where the three briefly conferred through Divine Sense.
• The Azure Emperor and Master Boju agreed with Heavenly Aunt that they should follow Ling Yi, whom she described as a great terror and a great opportunity.

Six months later, Ling Yi formed the 922 Team with Heavenly Aunt, the Azure Emperor, Master Boju, and his avatar to challenge the Literary Dao Tower. Their first-floor challenge began as Honor of Kings Canyon, where Ling Yi picked Ice Hunter and prepared to overwhelm the opponents with his immense Battle Power.

• The Azure Emperor and Master Boju remained stuck at 99.9 billion Battle Power, so Ling Yi invited them and Heavenly Aunt to challenge the Literary Dao Tower.
• Ling Yi summoned his black-robed avatar, Ling Ling, and confirmed that it could join the 922 Team.
• Ling Yi contacted the Literary Dao Purple Light, and the team agreed to enter the tower’s first floor.
• The team arrived at the Honor of Kings Canyon challenge and selected heroes before being transformed into game characters.
• Ling Yi chose Ice Hunter and saw that his character retained a fraction of his enormous Battle Power as the battle began.

Ling Yi and his team cleared the first 58 floors of the Literary Dao Tower by winning the first battle and skipping floors, then reached the 59th floor, a monster-defense challenge set in a beginner village. They chose new characters and began considering how many floors the tower contained.

• Ling Yi assigned his team lanes in the first-floor game canyon, and Heavenly Aunt quickly earned a team wipe to win the battle.
• The 922 Team skipped floor after floor until Ling Yi selected the challenge for the 59th floor.
• The team learned they had to defend Border Village from monsters while keeping villager deaths below thirty percent, then chose warrior, mage, and Daoist characters.
• Ling Yi recognized the 59th-floor setting as Legend and speculated that the tower might have up to 999 floors because each floor used a different game as its template.

Ling Yi and his team defended the village during the fifty-ninth-floor monster siege, which proved far easier than expected. After clearing it, they received Battle Power rewards and were prompted to continue the challenge.

• Ling Yi assigned the team to guard separate directions while Ling Ling stayed near the village, and the first wave of weak monsters appeared.
• Ling Yi used Devour to kill nearby monsters and level up, then discovered that his regular attacks could make them drop items while Devour converted their energy into Battle Power.
• The team reached Second Tier and gained a chat channel, where Azure Emperor warned everyone to stay alert for stronger monsters and surprise attacks.
• Ling Yi repeatedly cast Fireball until he comprehended the Might Divine Abilities Fireball, Lightning, and Puppet Technique.
• The siege progressed through stronger monster types but never produced a particularly powerful boss, and the team cleared the floor after ten hours.
• The team received 59000 Battle Power and a team-level increase, and Ling Yi found the challenge disappointing.

Ling Yi reached the 99th level of the Literary Dao Tower and learned from Xiao Feng that the tower and its Literary Worlds were created to gather Karmic Luck. After Xiao Feng mistook a spatial passage for a way to the real world and left, Ling Yi invited the others to Blue Star, where Heavenly Aunt agreed to go while Azure Emperor and Boju stayed behind.

• Ling Yi reached the tower’s 99th level, where Xiao Feng greeted him as the person he had been waiting for.
• Xiao Feng explained that he had used a stolen Boundary Breaking System to create Literary Worlds and collect Karmic Luck, hoping to escape his confinement.
• Xiao Feng revealed that Ling Yi’s arrival and the warnings from Lu Xueqi, Dongfang Bubai, and Xiongba had drawn Ling Yi to the tower so Xiao Feng could use his abundant Karmic Luck.
• Ling Yi realized that Xiao Feng’s supposed route to the real world would only lead to another fictional world, but chose not to tell him and opened a spatial passage.
• Xiao Feng rushed through the passage, and Azure Emperor observed that he only needed an answer he could believe.
• Ling Yi asked who would return to Blue Star with him; Heavenly Aunt agreed, while Azure Emperor and Boju stayed to attend to their responsibilities.

Ling Yi spent ten years lying flat after learning that Qin Feng’s Boundary Breaking had only led to another layer of the plot, then decided to leave Blue Star and resume transmigrating. He entrusted Heavenly Aunt with his world’s cheat and left his farewells, while Uncle’s inability to stop writing kept the story moving.

• Ling Yi told Heavenly Aunt that he had lost interest in striving after realizing Qin Feng had not truly broken through the boundary, and she encouraged him to keep exploring larger worlds.
• Ling Yi told Heavenly Aunt to seek out Yin Wanqing if she wanted to travel through the Myriad Worlds, and said he would leave after the Literary Worlds fused.
• Over the next ten years, Ling Yi mostly lay flat while the Literary Worlds gradually fused under his discreet adjustments.
• Ling Yi told Heavenly Aunt he was leaving, explaining that his despair had been influenced by Uncle, who could not lie flat for long while Boundary Breaking remained unachieved.
• Ling Yi gave Heavenly Aunt his cheat to pass on to someone she liked and asked her to apologize to Shen Mengmeng and the others.
• Ling Yi activated the Infinite Passive Transmigration Aura without making any settings and began a new transmigration.

After transmigrating into Ling Yi, a crippled heir of the Heavenly Yang Sect, he recognized Hu Feiyang’s power grab and chose to leave rather than risk his life. His system activated and gave him a chance to heal, but Ling Yi postponed using it until he was safely away, then accepted a quest to sign in at the Da Zhou Imperial Dynasty’s palace.

• Ling Yi recovered the original owner’s memories and realized Hu Feiyang had framed him and crippled his dantian to seize control of the Heavenly Yang Sect.
• Ling Yi decided to escape the sect and left the hall while Hu Feiyang and Hu Fan discussed having him watched and potentially killed if his sister came to rescue him.
• Ling Yi’s God Grade Sign-In System activated and offered to restore his injuries, but he refused to heal while he was still under surveillance.
• Ling Yi signed in at the Heavenly Yang Sect and received the Heavenly Sun Fist Manual, which he comprehended to Perfection.
• The system assigned Ling Yi a main quest to sign in at the imperial palace in the Da Zhou Imperial Dynasty.

After leaving the Heavenly Yang Sect, Ling Yi tried to escape its territory while weighing his enemies, his sister Ling Yanyun’s possible role, and the Sign-In System’s distant imperial-palace quest. When Song Bao and Song Qingxue blocked his path, the system revealed a new sign-in point on Song Qingxue that could grant him Subtlety Perfection in Martial Dao Intent.

• Ling Yi left the Heavenly Yang Sect badly injured and suspected Hu Feiyang had spared him for a reason, possibly connected to Ling Yanyun.
• Ling Yi headed toward the outskirts of Red Maple City, knowing he needed to escape the Heavenly Yang Sect’s sphere of influence and doubting he could reach the imperial palace in time for the martial examination.
• Ling Yi recalled the Da Zhou Imperial Dynasty’s power structure and the Martial Dao Alliance’s overwhelming strength and ranks.
• Song Bao and Song Qingxue stopped Ling Yi on the road, and he feared the weakened former sect master would be easy to kill.
• Ling Yi triggered a new sign-in location by staring at Song Qingxue, and the system offered Subtlety Perfection in Martial Dao Intent as its reward.

After repairing his shattered body, Ling Yi used the check-in system to obtain Perfection of Subtlety by embracing Song Qingxue. He disarmed her and held her own sword to her neck, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Ling Yi repaired his body and recovered the Heavenly Yang Inner Breath that Hu Feiyang had used to destroy his dantian.
• Song Qingxue stopped Song Bao from attacking Ling Yi and let Ling Yi pass.
• Ling Yi embraced Song Qingxue to complete the check-in and gained Perfection of Subtlety.
• Song Qingxue attacked Ling Yi, but he dodged, disarmed her with precise finger strikes, and put her sword to her neck.

Ling Yi left Song Qingxue and Song Bao after revealing his perfected Subtlety intent, then headed for the city gate while trying to escape Red Maple City. A new sign-in point appeared on the approaching city lord Chang Ruoli, so Ling Yi drew the Luoxue Sword and asked her for an official post.

• Ling Yi took Song Qingxue’s Luoxue Sword and explained that he had reached Subtlety at Perfection, leaving Song Qingxue to worry about the Song Family’s fate.
• Song Qingxue suspected that Ling Yi had repaired his dantian and decided to leave Red Maple City on an escort mission to the imperial capital.
• Ling Yi disguised himself and headed for the city gate, hoping to escape before Hu Feiyang could target him.
• The system revealed a new sign-in point near Chang Ruoli and offered Flying over Grass Qinggong at Great Perfection as the reward.
• Ling Yi approached Chang Ruoli with the Luoxue Sword and asked her for an official post.

Ling Yi joined Chang Ruoli’s forces after defeating her general and demonstrating that he could overcome her guards. The Heavenly Yang Sect learned that Ling Yi was under Chang Ruoli’s protection, and Hu Feiyang decided to demand his surrender in the Martial Dao Alliance’s name.

• Ling Yi asked Chang Ruoli for an official post, and she offered him a place among her personal guards if he defeated one of them.
• Ling Yi defeated Old Hua in a single move and became a squad leader, then charged past Chang Ruoli’s guards and demanded to be deputy city lord.
• Chang Ruoli stopped her generals from attacking Ling Yi and took him back to the city lord’s manor.
• Heavenly Yang Sect disciples reported Ling Yi’s new position to Hu Feiyang, who decided to demand that Chang Ruoli hand him over under the Martial Dao Alliance’s authority.
