Chapter Summaries

Ling Yi expanded his luck-card scheme to harvest Destiny, then ignored the danger of draining the Heavenly Dao. The chapter ended when Lin Feifei called him in terror, trapped with Song Ya at a hotel overrun by monsters.

• Lin Feifei called Ling Yi for help from the Homecoming Hotel in Dafeng City, where monsters had appeared and people were dying.

Ling Yi rushed to the Homecoming Hotel after monsters attacked Song Ya and Lin Feifei, finding the building trapped inside expanding black mist. He rescued the women and wiped out the monsters he encountered, then learned that the remaining monsters had gathered on the rooftop.

• Ling Feifei showed Ling Yi a corridor where three dinosaur-like monsters were feeding on corpses, and Song Ya warned that the creatures were intelligent and could communicate.
• Ling Yi rode his living Dodge Tomahawk from Yun Feng Mountain to Dafeng City in five minutes and entered the black mist surrounding the Homecoming Hotel.

• Ling told Ling Yi that all the remaining monsters were gathering on the rooftop.

Ling Yi learned that the monster attack had come through a portal from the Realm Beyond Realms and that the Heavenly Dao's Destiny had fallen sharply. He mobilized the Special Incident Bureau to prepare for more invasions, then began transforming Iron Man armor figures with Destiny.

• Ling Yi recognized the closing portal as a passage to the Realm Beyond Realms, shut down the Destiny Changing Master app, and saw that the Heavenly Dao's Destiny had dropped below a hundred billion.
• Ling Yi sent Song Ya and Lin Feifei to his manor, then called the Special Incident Bureau and arranged for Chen Jie and his soldiers to secure the hotel and handle the aftermath.

• Ling Yi returned to the manor, where Song Ya and Lin Feifei asked about the invasion, then started infusing two wearable Iron Man Armor figures with twenty thousand Destiny each.
• The Iron Man Armor figures began to transform, their rough plates rippling into tiny scales as they became more imposing.

Ling Yi tested how increasing Destiny gave wind, lightning, and an alloy sword consciousness and transformative powers, then answered a new invasion at a supermarket in Red City. As armored dinosaur monsters emerged from the Teleport Gate, Ling Yi prepared to send drones through it to siphon Destiny from the world beyond.

• Ling Yi increased the Destiny of wind and lightning, giving them consciousness, then raised it further so the lightning evolved and the wind became invisible.
• Three days later, Ling alerted Ling Yi to a suspected invasion, and Ling Yi flew to the Special Incident Bureau on a transforming alloy sword.

• Ling Yi sent drones through the portal, siphoned Destiny from the dinosaur world, and forced its Heavenly Dao to submit, gaining control of the world.

• The Jade Emperor advised Taibai Jinxing to leave the matter alone, and Taibai Jinxing returned to the Heavenly Court.
• Ling Yi reached Five Elements Mountain, gave Son Goku a peach, and asked whether the Great Sage wanted to escape.

• Ling Yi repeatedly cultivated until his substitute-death clones preserved his progress, reaching late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal in three months and early-stage Hunyuan Daluo several months later.

• Ling Yi learned the Seventy-Two Transformations and Flying Nimbus, then spoke with Son Goku, who chose to remain beneath Five Elements Mountain and oppose the Buddhist School’s plans.
• Ling Yi and Hu Niu returned to Chang'an, and Taibai Jinxing discovered that the tiger had vanished and the peach trees at Two-Fork Ridge had become spirits.
• Taibai Jinxing reported the transformed grove to the Jade Emperor, who asked whether Son Goku had met anyone recently and summoned the Six Ding and Six Jia.

Ling Yi arranged for Jinshan Temple to be burned so he could plant memories and a cultivation formula in young Tang Sanzang, whose own inner demon revealed long-standing resentment toward the Buddhist School. Tang Sanzang began dreaming of Sun Wukong’s betrayal and awoke questioning the Buddhas’ manipulation of him.

• The Jade Emperor ordered the peach grove moved to the Heavenly Court and told Taibai Jinxing to wait four years before contacting Guanyin.

• After finishing the final dream episode, Tang Sanzang received Jin Chanzi’s obsession and the Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art, then began cultivating it.
• Tathagata ordered the powers on Spirit Mountain not to interfere, while the Jade Emperor told Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears to watch Jinshan Temple more closely.
• Ling Yi reflected that the Journey to the West Calamity could lead toward Dharma Decline and resolved to stop it.
• Li Shimin and Li Jing visited Ling Yi’s restaurant, where Ling Yi argued with Li Shimin about taking office and the protection of his businesses.
• Ling Yi revealed that he had obtained a way to evade the three calamities and live forever, then took Li Shimin onto a cloud above Chang’an and asked whether he wanted immortality.

• Ling Yi told Li Er that humanity had lost the Human Dao and that Li Er could either die trying to reclaim its destiny or become its master if they succeeded.
• Ling Yi promised to create a cultivation method Li Er could use, and Li Er agreed to make preparations while weighing the danger.
• Ling Yi returned home and planned a technique inspired by cultivation systems from novels, aiming to turn each cell into a universe.
• Ling Yi examined his body with his Spiritual Sense and found that his cells contained lifeless, motionless miniature universes.
• Ling Yi split his Divine Sense to inspect all 4.956 billion of his cells and became lost among their miniature universes.

Ling Yi completed the Inner Universe Visualization Method after activating all the universes in his body, then returned to Li Er and promised it could help build an invincible army and restore the Human Emperor.

Ling Yi followed Tang Sanzang west while plotting to help Li Er unify humanity and become its Human Sovereign, believing the Journey to the West would cost humanity most of its Karmic Luck. Tang Sanzang’s unrestrained behavior continued to scandalize the Buddhist guardians as they approached his first tribulation at Double Fork Ridge.

• Ling Yi explained that Nüwa, Laozi, and the Heavenly Court already held most of humanity’s Karmic Luck, and Spirit Mountain would claim another twenty percent after the Journey to the West.
• Two months later, Li Er saw Tang Sanzang off from Chang’an and looked forward to cultivating and pursuing the Human Sovereign’s position.

• Ling Yi had killed the original tiger demon and recruited Hu Niu, leaving the coming events at Double Fork Ridge uncertain.
• Tang Sanzang ate meat, drank wine, and mocked the heavens as he traveled with Ling Yi, while the thirty-nine Buddhist guardians followed and watched in dismay.

Tang Sanzang killed the tiger demon on Double Fork Ridge and learned that the Buddhist School still intended to remove Ling Yi from the pilgrimage. After Tang Sanzang advanced to Taiyi Golden Immortal, Guanyin came to kill Ling Yi, but Tang Sanzang stepped between them.

• Ling Yi’s Clone fell into a trap, and Tang Sanzang blamed the Buddhist School while Ling Yi insisted on continuing the journey.
• A tiger demon attacked Ling Yi, but Tang Sanzang smashed it to death with his Nine-Ringed Monk’s Staff as Taibai Jinxing watched from hiding.

• Tang Sanzang stepped in front of Ling Yi to stop Guanyin.

Tang Monk forced Guanyin to spare Ling Yi by threatening to destroy his own soul, then gained power and reached Five Elements Mountain with Ling Yi. As Son Goku begged to be freed, Ling Yi watched the sky with a knowing smile.

• Tang Monk threatened to annihilate his soul if Guanyin harmed Ling Yi, forcing her to heal him with Three Lights Divine Water and give him a Merit Golden Pearl.
• Tang Monk used the pearl to advance to peak Daluo Golden Immortal, then questioned Ling Yi about his intentions, but Ling Yi concealed his purpose.
• Tathagata ordered Guanyin to arrange Ling Yi's death and warned her not to let Tang Sanzang suspect anything.
• Half a month later, Tang Monk and Ling Yi reached Five Elements Mountain, where Son Goku eagerly begged Tang Monk to free him.
• Ling Yi looked toward the sky above Five Elements Mountain and smiled faintly.

Tang Sanzang demanded a genuine commitment from Son Goku before agreeing to release him, while Ling Yi’s cosmic power kept Tathagata’s talisman trapped at Five Elements Mountain. After Tang Sanzang and Ling Yi learned the Six-Syllable Mantra, Manjushri and Samantabhadra arrived to help Guanyin, whom Tang Sanzang confronted.

• Tang Sanzang refused to release Son Goku until Son Goku pledged that his enemies would become Son Goku’s enemies.

• Ling Yi revealed that his cosmic power had created a Dharma-Ending Domain that suppressed magic and prevented Tathagata from retrieving the talisman.
• Tathagata sent Manjushri and Samantabhadra to help Guanyin rescue Son Goku from Five Elements Mountain.
• Tang Sanzang and Ling Yi learned the Six-Syllable Mantra before Manjushri and Samantabhadra found Guanyin, and Tang Sanzang challenged her about waiting in hiding.

Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra tried to free Son Goku from Five Elements Mountain, but an unknown force sealed their magic and slowed their digging. Ling Yi drew Guanyin away from the group, where her divination revealed that he had no karma at all.

• Samantabhadra discovered that an unknown force around Five Elements Mountain weakened and sealed magic power, then warned Guanyin and Manjushri to keep their distance.
• Guanyin ordered the thirty-nine attendants to dig beneath Son Goku, while Son Goku recognized the force as Ling Yi's Cosmic Power and secretly began cultivating the Inner Universe Visualization Method.
• Ling Yi told Tang Sanzang he was going hunting, then created a hooded clone named Motian to openly sabotage the Journey to the West.
• Guanyin left a clone with the group and followed Ling Yi, who feigned ignorance when she questioned why he was traveling with Tang Sanzang.
• Guanyin divined Ling Yi's circumstances and found that he had never been touched by any karma.

Motian appeared to protect Ling Yi, drained Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra of their powers, and left them stranded as mortals. Ling Yi used the encounter to draw closer to Tang Sanzang and keep his larger plans hidden, while Son Goku was finally freed from Five Elements Mountain.

• As Guanyin tried to kill Ling Yi, Motian seized her, drained her essence and magic power, and warned her not to touch his pawn again.
• Manjushri and Samantabhadra rushed to help Guanyin, but Motian drained them too and vanished, leaving all three as mortals among wild beasts.

• Ling Yi deliberately revealed signs of his cultivation to Tang Sanzang, who considered cooperating with him against the Buddhist School.
• Over the next four months, Ling Yi and Tang Sanzang cultivated, and Son Goku was finally dug out of Five Elements Mountain.

• Ling Yi told Son Goku that cosmic power could suppress Magic Power and devour a target's Spiritual Qi and essence, prompting Son Goku to fly off and test it.
• Ling Yi and Tang Sanzang spent more than two months traveling west and reached Eagle Sorrow Gorge, where Ling Yi drew Little White Dragon from the water and devoured much of his Magic Power and blood Qi.
• Ling Yi cut off Little White Dragon's head and tail and placed them in an inner universe to test whether their genes could help life emerge there.
• Ling Yi enlarged Manjushri's cauldron and began stewing the rest of Little White Dragon, while Tang Sanzang eagerly awaited the meal.
• Son Goku returned and reported that Manjushri and Samantabhadra were dead, Guanyin had survived and recovered her cultivation, and Ling Yi suspected Tathagata would seek help from Jieyin and Zhunti against Motian.
