Chapter Summaries

The supreme elders discovered that Mu Fusheng had perfected the Array-Breaking Talisman and added a lightning cage effect. Mu Fusheng entered the Holy Talisman Ancestral Land with four sect disciples, where Ning Xi resented his selection and the group found a stone statue and two remaining offerings.

• The three supreme elders examined Mu Fusheng’s Array-Breaking Talisman and found it perfected with added lightning-attribute coverage and trapping abilities.
• The Holy Talisman Ancestral Land opened, and Leng Yinqiu, Sha Ruxi, Shen Ziyu, and Ning Xi gathered as the four selected disciples.
• Ning Xi protested that Mu Fusheng had received the fifth entry spot without an assessment, while Leng Yinqiu warned him to stay on good terms with Mu Fusheng.
• Mu Fusheng arrived, denied being himself to Ning Xi, and then followed Leng Yinqiu and the others into the ancestral land.
• Inside the ancestral shrine, the five found a stone statue, an empty platform, a talisman brush, and yellowed talisman paper.

Mu Fusheng and the others confronted the Holy Talisman Ancestral Land’s two remaining inheritances, each guarded by an immense test. Leng Yinqiu and Ning Xi faced an apparently impossible challenge to create an Immortal Rank talisman in one day, while Shen Ziyu and Sha Ruxi could not unravel even the first obstacle before the Holy Talisman Mystic Thunder Brush.

• Ning Xi tried to make Mu Fusheng test the inheritances first, but he calmly refused and let the others go ahead.
• Sha Ruxi and Shen Ziyu approached the Holy Talisman Mystic Thunder Brush and found their path blocked by talismans they had to unravel.
• Leng Yinqiu and Ning Xi approached the Spirit of the Holy Talisman and received a test requiring them to create an initial Immortal Rank talisman within one day.
• Mu Fusheng was surprised by the difficulty of the Spirit of the Holy Talisman's test as Leng Yinqiu and Ning Xi hesitated to begin.
• Shen Ziyu and Sha Ruxi retreated after failing to unravel even the first talisman blocking their way.

Mu Fusheng deciphered all nine peak Heaven Rank talismans and claimed the Holy Talisman Mystic Thunder Brush. He then approached the Spirit of the Holy Talisman, and when Leng Yinqiu warned him that its trial was impossible, Mu Fusheng took the warning as an insult to his humanity.

• Shen Ziyu, Sha Ruxi, Ning Xi, and Leng Yinqiu agreed that deciphering the peak Heaven Rank talismans seemed impossible.
• Mu Fusheng began deciphering the talismans, using his deep knowledge of talisman patterns and inscription techniques.
• Mu Fusheng deciphered all nine talismans, astonishing Ning Xi, Sha Ruxi, and Shen Ziyu.
• Mu Fusheng claimed the Holy Talisman Mystic Thunder Brush by placing his blood essence on it.
• Leng Yinqiu urged Mu Fusheng to abandon the Spirit of the Holy Talisman's trial, and Mu Fusheng angrily asked why he was insulting him.

Mu Fusheng developed and inscribed an original Immortal Rank lightning talisman by combining a defensive barrier with trapping and killing effects. He completed the Profound Yin Lightning Shield Talisman just before the other candidates could believe what they were seeing.

• Mu Fusheng reasoned that an Immortal Rank talisman needed greater power and controllable soul force, then chose to build his creation around lightning and defensive barriers.
• Mu Fusheng decided to make a lightning shield that could trap and attack enemies, using the Ninefold Lightning Shield and four kinds of lightning as its foundation.
• Leng Yinqiu noticed that Mu Fusheng was inscribing an Immortal Rank talisman and alerted Ning Xi, Sha Ruxi, and Shen Ziyu.
• Mu Fusheng completed the talisman as lightning struck the paper and immortal presence spread, then named it the Profound Yin Lightning Shield Talisman.

Mu Fusheng used his original Immortal Rank talisman to reach the Spirit of the Holy Talisman, which joined him and promised to aid his talisman path. After leaving the ancestral grounds, he secured the Holy Talisman Sect’s support while asking the sect master to keep what happened secret.

• Mu Fusheng’s Profound Yin Lightning Shield Talisman passed the Spirit of the Holy Talisman’s inspection, clearing the barriers before him.
• The Spirit of the Holy Talisman told Mu Fusheng that neither Holy Talismans nor cultivation marked the end of their paths, then agreed to follow him and help him with talisman cultivation.
• The Spirit of the Holy Talisman entered Mu Fusheng’s sea of consciousness and was startled by his many layers of defenses.
• Mu Fusheng left the ancestral grounds with Leng Yinqiu and the others and explained what had happened to the sect master.
• The sect master asked Mu Fusheng to lead the Holy Talisman Sect to greater heights, and Mu Fusheng agreed while requesting secrecy about the ancestral grounds.

Mu Fusheng declined to visit a dangerous lightning site and accepted soul-fire tempering materials from the Holy Talisman Sect’s supreme elders. Meanwhile, Immortal Ape Mountain shook as the Devil Master cultivated, leaving the people of the Ape Devil Domain wondering what was happening.

• Leng Yinqiu and the sect master discussed Mu Fusheng’s talent and the sect master’s premonition of an approaching calamity, so the sect master ordered the Holy Talisman Sect to lie low and strengthen its disciples.
• Mu Fusheng told the three supreme elders he needed special lightning power and treasures to temper his soul fire, but refused to visit a dangerous location without confidence he could survive it.
• One of the supreme elders gave Mu Fusheng a storage ring of soul-fire tempering materials, and Mu Fusheng began cultivating the Soul Nourishing Technique in a cave abode.
• Immortal Ape Mountain shook as birds, beasts, and trees were thrown into chaos, prompting people at its foot to speculate that a powerful god was cultivating.

The village chief treated Xiao Hei after the fight, while Lu Changsheng continued consolidating his powers in the Changsheng Realm.

• Xiao Hei charged Yuan Shou with punches, and Yuan Shou sent him flying but could not knock him off the Immortal Ape Platform.
• Xiao Hei used his suppressed devilish might to disrupt Yuan Shou, then seized him and threw him onto the platform before Yuan Shou counterattacked and shattered Xiao Hei's bones.
• The village chief stopped onlookers from intervening when Xiao Hei was slammed into the ruined platform, and Xiao Hei emerged with his Eternal Devil Body activated.
• Xiao Hei and Yuan Shou fought on until nightfall, with Xiao Hei repeatedly bloodied but growing fiercer and ultimately leaving Yuan Shou injured.
• The village chief covered the unconscious Xiao Hei in medicinal liquid to repair and strengthen his body.
• In the Changsheng Realm, Lu Changsheng spent a month beside Willow Tree organizing his powers and forming several ideas.

Lu Changsheng began creating a cultivation art capable of integrating his many powers, while Ye Qiubai obtained the Heavenly Sword Peak inheritance and met its founding ancestor, the Azure Cloud Sword Master. Ye Qiubai left the secret realm with a trace of the ancestor’s soul, and Huo Zhengheng prepared to announce his success to Heavenly Sword Peak.

• Lu Changsheng decided to spend three months creating a compatible cultivation art that could unite his powers of rules.
• Ye Qiubai defeated the final statue in the Heavenly Sword Peak Secret Realm and mastered its sword technique.
• The Azure Cloud Sword Master offered to take Ye Qiubai as his disciple, but Ye Qiubai refused because Lu Changsheng was already his master.
• The Azure Cloud Sword Master accepted Ye Qiubai’s decision, gave him a trace of his soul to help him find the ancestor in the High-Latitude Realm, and revealed his name.
• The vines fell from the secret realm’s stone stele, confirming that Ye Qiubai had obtained the inheritance.
• Huo Zhengheng welcomed Ye Qiubai, offered to give him the ancestor’s sword, and planned to announce the news to Heavenly Sword Peak.

Huo Zhengheng brought Ye Qiubai to the Sword Repository, where the two supreme elders opened the highest floor so he could claim the Primordial Immortal Sword. The sword accepted Ye Qiubai, but flew back to its rack after he remarked that it felt short compared with the Starfall Sword.

• Huo Zhengheng brought Ye Qiubai to the Sword Repository and explained that its sword formation had been left by their ancestor.
• Huo Zhengheng told the two supreme elders that Ye Qiubai had obtained the ancestor's inheritance and should claim the Primordial Immortal Sword.
• The two supreme elders and Huo Zhengheng used their jade sword tokens to let Ye Qiubai pass the Immortal Puppets guarding the ninth floor.
• Ye Qiubai reached the ninth floor and found the Primordial Immortal Sword resting on a sword rack.
• The Primordial Immortal Sword circled Ye Qiubai and landed in his hand, but flew back to the rack after he said it felt short beside the Starfall Sword.

Ye Qiubai demonstrated the founding ancestor’s Primordial Sword Art before Heavenly Sword Peak’s disciples and elders, facing Zhuang Zidong in a test of its power. Their strikes collided, and Ye Qiubai’s sword dragon shattered Zhuang Zidong’s strongest attack and continued toward him.

Xiao Hei learned that Severed Soul City might hold his memory fragments, while Ye Qiubai prepared to represent Heavenly Sword Peak in the Ten Thousand Domains Grand Competition. Lu Changsheng completed Grand Primordium, a cultivation technique that could perfectly fuse every Power of Rules and had no upper limit.

• Xiao Hei asked the village chief how to find his memory fragments, and the village chief told him Severed Soul City could be reached through the Ten Thousand Domains Grand Competition.

The Willow Tree volunteered instead, and Lu Changsheng unleashed Grand Primordium against her in a clash that shook the Changsheng Realm.

• Lu Changsheng explained that he had created the Grand Primordium cultivation technique after several months of work.
• Lu Changsheng trapped Liu Ziru to use him as a test opponent, but the Willow Tree warned that he could be killed or injured, so Lu Changsheng released him.

• Lu Changsheng activated Grand Primordium and covered a Sword Dao Law longsword with a compressed power formed from the Powers of Rules of heaven and earth.
• The Willow Tree sent her willow branches at Lu Changsheng, and Lu Changsheng countered with a sword strike called “Grand Primordium, All Things Fall Silent,” shaking the Changsheng Realm.

Lu Changsheng and the Willow Tree tested his newly completed cultivation method, then ended their fight before the Changsheng Realm was destroyed. At the Myriad Domains Grand Competition, Mu Fusheng was appointed captain of the Holy Talisman Sect team despite insisting he was too weak.

• Lu Changsheng's sword strike clashed with the Willow Tree's branches, shaking the Changsheng Realm and sending Liu Ziru struggling to hold back the waves.

• Mu Fusheng protested that he was too weak to lead the team, but the sect master firmly appointed him captain.

Ye Qiubai learned how the second and third rounds of the Ten Thousand Domains Grand Competition would work, then met his former senior sisters from the Falling Goose Sect. Their reunion reminded him that factions from the Boundless Realm might also be present, and he resolved to settle old scores.

• Huo Zhengheng explained that the second round would use individual matches and the top ten factions would advance to a final team-combat round, while Heavenly Sword Peak needed a top-three score to enter Severed Soul City.

• Ye Qiubai ran into Zhan Zhi and Xu Shi of the Falling Goose Sect and told them he was representing Heavenly Sword Peak.
• Ji Lian told Chi Bing that the Vast Sea Sect had been destroyed with help from Ye Qiubai's junior brother, allowing the Falling Goose Sect to attend the competition.
• After Zhan Zhi left in embarrassment over Ye Qiubai's remark about their past, Ye Qiubai wondered whether factions that had invaded the Boundless Realm were present and decided it was time to settle old scores.

Heavenly Sword Peak drew the Heavenly Mandate Sect for its first individual battle, rekindling Ye Qiubai’s grudge against the sect. Zhan Tianxing defeated Zhuang Zidong with a single palm strike, leaving Heavenly Sword Peak stunned as the match began.

• Huo Zhengheng told Ye Qiubai that Heavenly Sword Peak’s first opponent was the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and Ye Qiubai asked whether the competition allowed lethal battles.

Ye Qiubai surprised the spectators by forcing Zhan Tianxing back and matching his overbearing saber strikes despite the vast gap in their cultivation. Their clash continued across the Dao Discussion Platform, with Zhan Tianxing's Saber Intent slightly suppressing Ye Qiubai's Transcendent Sword Intent.
