Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi negotiated with Chang Ruoli and Ouyang Qing over his Heavenly Mysterious Pills, agreeing to trade a thousand pills to each woman for a Martial God Legion and a Momentum Realm. Afterward, Chang Ruoli bought Ouyang Qing’s help in controlling Spirit Transformation Realm experts, and the women planned to settle their obligations in the imperial capital.

• Ouyang Qing offered Ling Yi a Momentum Realm for the Heavenly Mysterious Pills, explaining that Momentum Realms could absorb or devour one another and might expand his Personal Space.
• Chang Ruoli offered to manage a Martial God Legion in exchange for pills, and Ling Yi accepted despite Ouyang Qing warning that Chang Ruoli might be trying to get a free ride.
• Ling Yi gave Chang Ruoli and Ouyang Qing one thousand Heavenly Mysterious Pills each, in return for a Martial God Legion and a Momentum Realm to be delivered in the imperial capital.
• After Ling Yi disappeared, Chang Ruoli paid Ouyang Qing one hundred and fifty Heavenly Mysterious Pills for a Momentum Treasure that could control Spirit Transformation Realm experts.
• Ling Yi reasoned that Chang Ruoli would wait until they reached the royal city to recruit trusted fighters, while Ouyang Qing would need the imperial palace's World Tomb to return to her Momentum Realm and retrieve the treasure.

Ling Yi traveled toward the imperial capital in the White Jade Fragrant Carriage after moving Inquiry Sword School into his Personal Space. When he sensed a realm envoy approaching, he and Xiao Yueyuan left the carriage to confront him and seek answers about the envoy’s secrets.

• Ling Yi rode with Xia Tao, Song Qingxue, Bai Xiao Yun, Xiao Ling'er, and Xiao Yueyuan in the White Jade Fragrant Carriage as it sped away from Inquiry Sword City.
• Song Qingxue explained that Ling Yi had taken Inquiry Sword School and its people into his Personal Space but had left Inquiry Sword City behind.
• The women played cards for Yuan Returning Pills while Ling Yi decided they no longer needed to visit Medicine King Valley for pills.
• Ling Yi and Xiao Yueyuan sensed the realm envoy’s presence and agreed to capture him alive to learn about the missing World Grade Martial Practitioners and the Immortal Realm.
• Ling Yi sent the women into his Personal Space, then flew out of the carriage with Xiao Yueyuan to meet the realm envoy.

Ling Yi and Xiao Yueyuan subdued the World Envoy Zhou Qiang, whose old grudge against Xiao Yueyuan stemmed from her maiming and nearly killing him ten thousand years earlier. As Ling Yi questioned Zhou Qiang, members of the Martial Dao Alliance arrived and demanded to know what had happened.

• Zhou Qiang recognized Xiao Yueyuan and threatened to imprison her, while she revealed that she had once maimed him after he tried to assault her.
• Zhou Qiang unleashed his Ninefold World Field, but Ling Yi and Xiao Yueyuan remained unaffected and discussed how he projected his Momentum Realm's rules.
• Realizing their state resembled the State of No Momentum, Zhou Qiang tried to flee, but Ling Yi used his Time Watch to intercept him as Xiao Yueyuan's Sword of No Momentum suppressed his powers.
• Ling Yi interrogated Zhou Qiang, learned his name and age, and confiscated his powerful folding fan.
• Twenty members of the Martial Dao Alliance arrived, and their square-faced leader questioned Ling Yi about the destruction.

Ling Yi captured members of the Martial Dao Alliance and learned that they knew the Mirror-Breaking Pill came from him. Chang Ruoli traced the leak to someone in her own group, leaving their plan to destabilize Jianghu exposed, while Ling Yi proposed using the Godless Legion to take control by force.

• Ling Yi questioned a Martial Dao Alliance group, killed the square-faced young man when he refused to cooperate, and forced a woman to reveal that they were investigating the Mirror-Breaking Pill in Red Maple City.
• The woman said her master had told them to investigate Ling Yi, so Ling Yi sent her into the Personal Space to farm.
• Ling Yi summoned Chang Ruoli and Ouyang Qing and told them the Martial Dao Alliance knew he was behind the Mirror-Breaking Pill.
• Chang Ruoli reasoned that the alliance had received the news by carrier pigeon at least half a month earlier, before Ouyang Qing or her people knew about the pill.
• Chang Ruoli realized that a longtime member of her group was likely the mole and acknowledged that their plan to throw Jianghu into chaos had failed.
• Ling Yi suggested deploying the Godless Legion to sweep aside anyone who refused to submit, and Chang Ruoli agreed that direct force could work.

Chang Ruoli returned to the imperial city and found that the Martial Dao Alliance had slaughtered Da Zhou’s royal family, so she fought its forces and killed Yun Tongtian. Ling Yi and Xia Tao arrived as she declared the alliance erased from Jianghu and revealed that she had defeated Yun Tongtian with the Immortal Dao.

• The dying old emperor mourned his children as the Martial Dao Alliance surrounded the imperial city after killing the royal family.
• Chang Ruoli arrived in a white jade carriage, confronted the Martial Dao Alliance, and charged its hundreds of fighters.
• Chang Ruoli cut through the alliance’s forces using her Martial Dao cultivation and the equipment Ling Yi had made for her.
• Yun Tongtian hesitated before choosing to attack Chang Ruoli, while Ling Yi and Xia Tao stepped out of the carriage.
• Chang Ruoli thrust her spear through Yun Tongtian’s heart and declared the Martial Dao Alliance erased from Jianghu.
• Yun Tongtian asked whether her power was Martial Dao, and Chang Ruoli answered that it was the Immortal Dao.

After Chang Ruoli took the throne and began sweeping reforms, Ling Yi waited for his damaged Sign-In System to recover and discussed Ouyang Qing’s threat with the new empress. The system finally completed the Main Quest Sign-In, awarding Ling Yi a Sign-In Radius and directing him to devour the Reincarnation Momentum Realm before the next main quest could begin.

• Chang Ruoli spent half a month seizing the throne, renaming Da Zhou as Great Qian, and issuing reforms to bring Jianghu under imperial control.
• Chang Ruoli told Ling Yi that Ouyang Qing had given her Spirit-Sealing Powder and a Soul-Controlling Banner capable of controlling World Grade experts.
• Chang Ruoli said she had refused to use the banner on Ling Yi because Ouyang Qing might turn her into a tool, and she urged Ling Yi to deal with Ouyang Qing if she could not be controlled.
• Ling Yi agreed to watch what Ouyang Qing would do while assuring Chang Ruoli that matters would not get out of hand.
• The Sign-In System completed Ling Yi’s Main Quest Sign-In and awarded him Sign-In Radius, then instructed him to use the Personal Space to devour the Reincarnation Momentum Realm.

Ling Yi discovered that his new check-in radius let him claim rewards from nearby halos at once, including a Dao Comprehension Tree and other powerful items. He planned to enter seclusion and then devour every Momentum Realm, while Xiao Yueyuan summoned Zhou Qiang to explain how the process worked.

• Ling Yi tested his roughly five-hundred-meter check-in radius in the Personal Space and received a combined list of rewards from the Heavenly Yang Sect halos.
• Ling Yi checked in at the women around the manor and obtained three Random Summon Cards, a Dao Comprehension Tree, and five pet beast eggs.

• Xiao Yueyuan explained that she and Zhou Qiang could sense other Momentum Realms, and Ling Yi said he expected to reach World Field Grade after seclusion.
• Xiao Yueyuan called Zhou Qiang over to explain how Momentum Realm devouring worked.

Ling Yi learned the difficult requirements for devouring Momentum Realm cores and devised a plan to use Identity Tokens and his followers to locate them. He entered seclusion after assigning Ouyang Qing to investigate the Reincarnation Momentum Realm, while Xiao Yueyuan explained how World Grade experts could restore their bodies.

• Zhou Qiang explained that locating a core required reaching the highest cultivation realm within a Momentum Realm whose master was absent, while killing its master would turn it into a World Tomb.
• Ling Yi promised Song Qingxue that he would move a Momentum Realm's living beings into his Personal Space before devouring its core.
• Ouyang Qing concealed the reason for her excitement and agreed to mobilize the Ouyang Chamber of Commerce to investigate the Reincarnation Momentum Realm.

• Ling Yi entered seclusion to use his accumulated cultivation rewards.

After reaching Great Perfection in the Spirit Transformation Realm and Perfection of the World Field, Ling Yi used five Random Summon Cards and discovered that no sign-in circles had refreshed. He summoned everyone to rename the Personal Space the Heavenly Yang Realm and began assigning its leadership, leaving them surprised when he named Xiao Yueyuan realm lord.

• Ling Yi completed his secluded cultivation, exhausted most of his quick-growth resources, and decided to consult Xiao Yueyuan and Zhou Qiang before creating a Momentum Realm.
• Ling Yi used five Random Summon Cards, receiving notices that two people were coming to him, two were still awakening, and one was sealed and would require his rescue.
• Ling Yi found no sign-in circles in the Heavenly Yang Sect or the manor, then used Identity Tokens and spatial passages to summon the others to a meeting.
• Ouyang Qing realized Ling Yi could locate her and communicate with her even while she was inside the Ouyang Momentum Realm.
• Ling Yi renamed the Personal Space the Heavenly Yang Realm, announced plans to bring in people and territory on a large scale, and named Xiao Yueyuan realm lord.
• Ouyang Qing and Ling Yanyun questioned whether Ling Yi should give up the realm lord position.

Ling Yi reorganized the Heavenly Yang Realm’s leadership and ordered its first legion to plunder the Momentum Realms while he searched for new check-in points. After three wasted summons and a month without system activity, he followed the system’s coordinates to the Immortal Realm to find a sealed Summoner.

• Ling Yi appointed hall masters and deputies, made Ouyang Qing responsible for external affairs, and assigned the women to plunder all the Momentum Realms.
• Zhou Qiang advised Ling Yi to create a Momentum Realm core and merge it with the Heavenly Yang Realm, but Ling Yi put that plan aside.
• Ling Yi went a month without seeing a check-in circle, and three Random Summon Cards brought him two ordinary people and a murderous demon whom he killed.
• Check-in circles refreshed for everyone in the Heavenly Yang Realm, while its first legion began plundering the Momentum Realms under Xiao Yueyuan and the others’ management.
• Ling Yi followed the system’s coordinates to the Immortal Realm, where a Summoner had been sealed.

Ling Yi reassured Yin Wanqing that Mengmeng’s mysterious sleep was not a crisis, since her connection to Beyond-Realm Karmic Luck had grown stronger. He sent his clone to rescue Venerable One Reincarnation and take the Immortal Realm into the Heavenly Yang Realm while his original body began another transmigration.

• Ling Yi gained the Perfection of the Dao of No Momentum and followed the system’s coordinates to the floating city of Asgard, where The Summoner was sealed.
• Yin Wanqing appeared and embraced Ling Yi in fear because Mengmeng had fallen into a mysterious slumber.
• Ling Yi examined Mengmeng’s condition and told Yin Wanqing that her Beyond-Realm Karmic Luck had become tangible, easing her concern.

After a pill-refining woman kicked Ling Yi down the steps and left him near death, his long-awaited Devouring System awakened and gave him the Life Devouring entry. Ling Yi recovered some strength by drawing life energy from nearby grass and realized Pill Peak offered plenty of potential sources, though he did not know what the energy could do beyond healing.

• A red-dressed alchemist kicked Ling Yi after her pill refinement failed, leaving him badly injured and unable to move.
• Ling Yi recalled his ten years as an unpromising menial disciple on Mystic Heaven Sect’s Pill Peak and despaired that he had received no system.
• As Ling Yi neared death, the Devouring System appeared and he drew the Life Devouring entry.
• The entry automatically activated, gathering green wisps of life energy from plants within a hundred meters and easing Ling Yi’s injuries.
• Ling Yi noticed that the surrounding grass had wilted and reasoned that Pill Peak’s plentiful plants could provide more life energy, though its other effects remained unknown.

Ling Yi tested how Life Devouring strengthened and healed his body, then returned to clean the pill furnaces. The woman in red attacked him again, leaving him injured and determined to avenge himself if he survived.

• Ling Yi devoured the life energy of plants and trees, greatly increasing his strength and speed as he considered the danger posed by the sect's war and his own weakness.
• Ling Yi returned to Pill Peak after his communication token summoned him to clean furnaces No. 35 and No. 36.
• The woman in red emerged from furnace room No. 36 after another failed attempt at pill refining and blamed Ling Yi for her failure.
• The woman in red struck Ling Yi, breaking several ribs and injuring his internal organs, then left on her sword.
• Ling Yi discovered that his body could heal, but he still cleaned the pill furnaces to avoid punishment.

After learning that Qin Yuran had beaten him because her pill refinements failed, Ling Yi resolved to grow stronger and avoid provoking her powerful father, Qin Hao. When he returned to his room and discovered his Spirit Stones had been stolen by his fellow disciples, he secretly tested his Life Devouring ability on the bald man who had taken them.

• Cheng Little Tiger told Ling Yi that Qin Yuran often injured or killed menial disciples when her pill refinements failed, and that her father Qin Hao was a Golden Core expert.
• Ling Yi decided to avoid Qin Yuran and become stronger before challenging her, since Qin Hao backed her.
• Ling Yi returned to the dormitory and found his room ransacked and his saved Spirit Stones missing.
• A bald disciple admitted that he and the others had taken Ling Yi's Spirit Stones, claiming they were keeping them safe because Ling Yi was destined to die.
• Ling Yi used Life Devouring on the bald disciple and absorbed a small amount of his life energy, planning to test the ability again.

Ling Yi used Life Devouring to drain seventeen courtyard residents, beat them, and take their Spirit Stones. When his token sounded again that night, he went to Pill Peak and discovered Qin Yuran was using the two pill rooms he was responsible for.

• Ling Yi discovered Life Devouring had no cooldown on humans and drained life energy from the bald man and sixteen others.
• Ling Yi knocked the bald man unconscious, slapped the others, and forced all seventeen to hand over their Spirit Stones.
• Ling Yi took thirty-seven Spirit Stones and learned Life Devouring had no effect on the inanimate stones.
• Ling Yi's token sounded an alarm, so he went to Pill Peak and saw Qin Yuran enter pill refinement room No. 35 after leaving No. 36.

Ling Yi fled the pill furnaces to avoid Qin Yuran and went to Beast Gorge to devour the life energy of wild creatures so he could grow stronger. At the gorge’s outskirts, he drained a hidden creature until a wounded two-tailed white fox emerged, revealing that it could communicate telepathically.

• Ling Yi decided to avoid Qin Yuran and risk the steward’s punishment rather than expose his secret by returning to clean the pill furnaces.
• Ling Yi traveled through the mountain woods toward Beast Gorge, absorbing life energy from small creatures along the way.
• Ling Yi searched the outskirts of Beast Gorge but found few beasts and considered turning back.
• Ling Yi detected unusually potent life energy and faint whimpering from a patch of grass, then focused his Devouring entry on it.
• A young girl’s voice pleaded with Ling Yi to stop, but he continued draining the creature and grew stronger.
• A wounded two-tailed white fox emerged from the grass and condemned humans in a shrill voice inside Ling Yi’s mind.

Ling Yi stole life energy from a powerful old willow, used it to save the dying white fox, and fled back toward the pill refinement room. Qin Yuran spotted him and demanded to know how he had survived her attack, while Ling Yi prepared to fight back.

• Ling Yi drained the thousand-year-old willow's Life Origin, realized it was a powerful demon, and carried the wounded white fox away.
• The white fox warned Ling Yi that her death would leave a Soul Imprint on him, so he used the Devouring entry to send life energy into her and then fled.
• Ling Yi returned near the pill refinement room and found Qin Yuran still waiting there.
• Qin Yuran used her Spiritual Sense to detect Ling Yi, threatened him with a flying sword, and questioned how he had survived her attack.
• Ling Yi claimed he had found a treasure in Beast Gorge and reached into his robes.

Ling Yi claimed he had found an Immortal Treasure and a secret realm full of treasures, using the story to bargain with Qin Yuran for his life. Qin Yuran agreed to help him cultivate, but they left the terms unresolved when Ling Yi demanded ten years of support and walked away.

• Qin Yuran reached for Ling Yi's supposed healing treasure, and he claimed it came from a secret realm hidden inside a thousand-year-old willow tree near Beast Gorge.
• Ling Yi said he alone knew how to enter the secret realm and warned Qin Yuran that killing him would not get her the treasure.
• Ling Yi demanded that Qin Yuran help him enter the inner sect within a year, but she refused because he lacked the cultivation and Spiritual Root to qualify.
• Ling Yi instead demanded ten years of cultivation support, while Qin Yuran offered techniques and pills for only one month.
• Ling Yi walked away after insisting on ten years, and Qin Yuran held back from killing him so she could verify his story at Beast Gorge.
• Ling Yi called back that Qin Yuran should clean out the pill furnace or their deal would change if he was punished.

Ling Yi discovered a powerful creature in Forest Valley Lake and absorbed a huge amount of its life energy, dramatically increasing his strength. When he realized the creature had not fled, he used Life Devouring to pull four more bursts of energy from it before it escaped.

• Ling Yi avoided Beast Gorge and secretly strengthened himself by draining the old trees and other plants in Forest Valley.
• Ling Yi found a huge green ball of life energy rising from Forest Valley Lake and absorbed it, increasing his strength several times over.
• Ling Yi estimated the creature beneath the lake was at least a Fifth Tier Demonic Beast and tried to target it again, but initially thought it had fled.
• Ling Yi reactivated Life Devouring and pulled five green balls of life energy from the lake creature before it escaped.
