Chapter Summaries

Xiao Hei absorbed the Dragon Qi at the junction of two paths and used his mysterious bloodline to subdue the blood-red dragon within him. After discovering which path held Death Qi, he left Jin Wujin and the others astonished by the power of his bloodline and became determined to learn what lay beyond the Six Realms.

• Xiao Hei stood at the junction and absorbed Dragon Qi from both paths despite warnings that it could destroy him.
• The Dragon Qi rebelled inside Xiao Hei, causing his body to redden as Jin Wujin considered pulling him out.
• Xiao Hei’s Dark Demon Qi and golden ancient script suppressed the blood-red dragon, which revealed that his bloodline contained Sage Qi.
• Xiao Hei crushed the dragon into blood Qi, strengthening his body, and learned that one path concealed Death Qi.
• Jin Wujin concluded that Xiao Hei’s bloodline surpassed those of the Golden-Winged Peng Clan and possibly the Dragon Clan.

After absorbing the Dragon Qi, Xiao Hei found the safe path and led Jin Wujin and the others onward. Elsewhere, the Heavenly Firmament Sect and Crimson Flame Hall contested a dragon reverse scale, only to face its powerful guardian.

• Xiao Hei absorbed the Dragon Qi, reached peak God General Realm in physical strength, and identified the left passage as safe because it lacked Death Qi.
• Jin Wujin and the other two followed Xiao Hei through the left passage while resisting the Dragon Qi with Spiritual Qi.
• Deng Zhun and Wu Heng agreed to cooperate against the guardian of a reverse scale, then settle ownership through a team battle after recovering from injuries.
• Mu Fusheng and Fang Qiong recognized each other among the rival groups, but both leaders assigned them support roles instead of sending them into direct combat.
• The two forces approached the reverse scale, and a flood dragon emerged from the lake as its guardian.
• Deng Zhun and Wu Heng sensed that the flood dragon had reached the early-stage God Emperor Realm.

Mu Fusheng and Fang Qiong planned to steal the flood dragon’s reverse scale while the two groups fought it. After the dragon died, they successfully took the scale and returned to their original positions, pretending to have fallen into Fang Qiong’s illusion array.

• Wu Heng and Deng Zhun used Dragon Binding Rings to restrain the flood dragon, while Mu Fusheng and Fang Qiong helped attack it with talismans and a formation.
• Fang Qiong proposed stealing the flood dragon’s reverse scale for Little Senior Brother Hei, and Mu Fusheng devised a plan to take it during the battle’s aftermath.
• After three days of fighting, Wu Heng and Deng Zhun killed the flood dragon, and its reverse scale emerged from the waterfall.
• Fang Qiong trapped Wu Heng, Deng Zhun, and the others in the Immortal Affinity Illusion Array, allowing Mu Fusheng to take the scale with a Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman.
• Mu Fusheng returned to his original position, and he and Fang Qiong entered the illusion array to make it appear they had been trapped too.

Mu Fusheng and Fang Qiong stole the flood dragon’s reverse scale while Wu Heng’s and Deng Zhun’s groups were trapped in an illusion, then escaped suspicion as the two factions blamed each other. The chapter ended with the Jade Lake Immortal Palace leading the point standings, thanks to Ji Qianyao’s performance.

• After five breaths, Wu Heng’s and Deng Zhun’s groups escaped the illusion and discovered the reverse scale was gone.
• Deng Zhun accused Wu Heng’s Crimson Flame Hall of stealing the scale, and the two groups argued over who could have set the illusion array.
• Wu Heng freed Fang Qiong from the illusion, while a Heavenly Firmament Sect cultivator freed Mu Fusheng; both acted as though they knew nothing about the theft.
• Deng Zhun suggested using Soul Search on Fang Qiong, but Wu Heng refused and accused the Heavenly Firmament Sect of possible involvement.
• The two factions threatened each other and departed in separate directions without gaining points, while Mu Fusheng resolved to lecture Fang Qiong about being cautious.
• The point standings showed the Jade Lake Immortal Palace in first place with fifteen points, followed by the Golden-Winged Peng Clan with ten and Silver Dragon Mountain Manor with five.

The five major factions gathered at the site of a heaven-grade treasure, where Ji Qianyao revealed that her heart belonged to someone and Jin Wujin warned that no one present could match him. Their combined attack awakened a gigantic dragon-shaped guardian within the seven-colored radiance.

• Xiao Hei accepted the earth-grade treasure from Jin Wujin and the others, advancing to the half-step God King realm, and the Golden-Winged Peng Clan later raised its score to twenty-five points.
• A beam of seven-colored radiance appeared to the north, and Jin Wujin led his group toward the heaven-grade treasure as the other factions raced there too.
• The five major factions gathered at the radiance, and Ji Qianyao proposed joining forces before deciding how to divide the treasure.
• Ji Qianyao rejected Deng Zhun's advances and said her heart belonged to someone; Jin Wujin warned that even the factions combined could not defeat that person.
• Jin Wujin and the others attacked the radiance together, but a dragon head swallowed their attacks as a huge dragon phantom began to form.

A dragon phantom guarding the secret treasure attacked the group, overwhelming their combined assault. Xiao Hei revealed that his bloodline power might offer a way to fight it, leaving Ji Qianyao stunned by how closely his aura resembled someone she knew.

• The dragon phantom emerged from the seven-colored radiance, and Ji Qianyao, Jin Wujin, and Yin Qi decided the group had to fight it.
• Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, Fang Qiong, Xiao Hei, and the others joined Jin Wujin and the rest in attacking the dragon's tail.

• Xiao Hei recovered and told everyone to follow his instructions because he had a way to fight the dragon.
• Xiao Hei unleashed his black, red, and golden bloodline power, causing the dragon's oppressive might to vanish and leaving Ji Qianyao bewildered by its resemblance to someone she knew.

Ji Qianyao recognized Lu Changsheng’s bloodline power within Xiao Hei and learned that he was Lu Changsheng’s disciple. As the group fought the gigantic dragon phantom, Xiao Hei gathered the golden bloodline power and suppressed the dragon’s blood Qi.

• Ji Qianyao sensed Lu Changsheng’s bloodline presence in Xiao Hei and asked who Lu Changsheng was to him.
• Xiao Hei revealed through a voice transmission that Lu Changsheng was his master, and Ji Qianyao agreed to help hold off the dragon phantom.
• Ji Qianyao used Hongmeng Purple Qi to break through to the early-stage God Emperor Realm and blocked the dragon’s fiery breath with a wall of silk.
• Jin Wujin, Yin Qi, and the others attacked the dragon phantom while Xiao Hei gathered golden light into the Devil God phantom.
• Xiao Hei seized the dragon phantom, and the power of Lu Changsheng’s blood essence suppressed its dragon blood Qi.

Xiao Hei used his Demon God Bloodline and Lu Changsheng’s blood essence to suppress the giant dragon phantom, then learned that his own bloodline came from a powerful clan beyond the Mortal Realm. The dragon recognized something about Xiao Hei but refused to explain, leaving him frustrated as the others held off anyone who might interfere.

• Xiao Hei trapped the giant dragon phantom with his golden Demon God phantom, suppressing its Dragon Clan bloodline and strength.
• The dragon asked why Xiao Hei was in the Mortal Realm, and Xiao Hei said he had been born there and that his golden bloodline power came from his master.
• The dragon clarified that Xiao Hei’s own bloodline belonged to a higher-ranking member of a clan whose bloodline did not belong to the Mortal Realm.
• Yin Qi, Deng Zhun, and Wu Heng prepared to attack the weakened dragon, but Ji Qianyao and Jin Wujin blocked them to protect Xiao Hei.
• The dragon said it understood Xiao Hei’s situation but that he could not know the truth yet, leaving Xiao Hei irritated and confused.

The giant dragon phantom revealed that Xiao Hei’s existence could become a calamity for the Six Realms, but entrusted him with its bloodline essence and a secret treasure. As Xiao Hei entered the seven-colored radiance to claim what lay within, tensions over the treasure left several factions on the brink of war.

• The giant dragon phantom warned Xiao Hei that it would have killed him if it had found him before he grew, and said a mighty figure had protected him.
• The giant dragon phantom released its blood essence and entrusted the secret treasure inside the seven-colored radiance to Xiao Hei.
• Yin Qi, Deng Zhun, and Wu Heng challenged Xiao Hei’s right to the treasure, but Ji Qianyao and Jin Wujin defended him and refused to yield.
• Ye Qiubai and Fang Qiong anticipated another conflict, while Mu Fusheng secretly sent a message to Lu Changsheng.
• Xiao Hei thanked the giant dragon phantom, entered the seven-colored radiance, and the entrance closed behind him.

Lu Changsheng received Mu Fusheng’s warning that Xiao Hei’s dragon treasure could trigger a conflict among major factions in the Heavenly River Star Region, and he hurried there. At the Dragon Vein, Ji Qianyao and Jin Wujin guarded Xiao Hei while Mu Fusheng reminded Ye Qiubai that he would likely be blamed for the trouble again.

• Lu Changsheng received Mu Fusheng’s message about five factions potentially fighting over Xiao Hei’s dragon secret treasure and left for the Heavenly River Star Region.
• Liu Ziru realized the Heavenly River Star Region was where the Jade Lake Immortal Palace was located and rushed after Lu Changsheng to share what he knew.
• The Heavenly Firmament Sect, Crimson Flame Hall, and Silver Dragon Mountain Manor representatives mocked the Jade Lake Immortal Palace and Golden-Winged Peng Clan for their poor Dragon Vein results.
• Inside the Dragon Vein, Yin Qi, Deng Zhun, and Wu Heng watched the seven-colored light helplessly while Ji Qianyao and Jin Wujin guarded Xiao Hei.
• Mu Fusheng told Fang Qiong that Ye Qiubai would be made the scapegoat again, and Ye Qiubai resigned himself to the blame.

Xiao Hei endured two days of agony as the Dragon's Heart strengthened his heart, then awakened its power with Lu Changsheng's blood essence and emerged from the seven-colored radiance. Yin Qi threatened to kill him and claim his bloodline, but Ye Qiubai, Fang Qiong, and Mu Fusheng revealed they were Xiao Hei's allies and prepared to defend him.

• Xiao Hei touched the Dragon's Heart and let its bloodline power strengthen his heart despite the excruciating pain.
• After two days, the Dragon's Heart vanished, and a wisp of Lu Changsheng's blood essence entered Xiao Hei's heart and triggered a thunderous heartbeat.
• The heartbeat shattered the seven-colored radiance, revealing Xiao Hei to Ji Qianyao and the others with a greatly intensified bloodline presence.
• Yin Qi accused Ji Qianyao of risking war by protecting Xiao Hei and proposed killing him to divide his Dragon Emperor Bloodline.
• Ye Qiubai left Silver Dragon Mountain Manor's side and declared Xiao Hei was his junior brother; Fang Qiong and Mu Fusheng joined him.
• Ye Qiubai warned Yin Qi that he would risk his life to stop anyone attacking Xiao Hei and grasped the Azure Cloud Sword's sheath.

Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, and Fang Qiong’s allies realized the three were disciples of the same master as they prepared to fight over the stolen Dragon’s Reverse Scale. Ji Qianyao continued protecting them, leaving Mu Fusheng wondering what their master had done to win her loyalty.

• Ji Qianyao realized that Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, and Fang Qiong were all disciples of Senior Lu, while Jin Wujin said the Golden-Winged Peng Clan sought cooperation with Xiao Hei.
• Ye Qiubai reached for the Azure Cloud Sword’s scabbard as Mu Fusheng prepared talismans and Fang Qiong formed two arrays.
• Wu Heng and Deng Zhun recognized Fang Qiong’s Immortal Affinity Illusion Array and accused the group of stealing the Dragon’s Reverse Scale.

• Wu Heng threatened to capture them and use Soul Search, but Ji Qianyao insisted she would help them regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
• Mu Fusheng wondered what Master had done to make Ji Qianyao protect them so devotedly.

Ji Qianyao used Hongmeng Purple Qi to defeat Yin Qi, Wu Heng, and Deng Zhun, forcing their three major forces out of the Dragon Vein. After withdrawing the power that had strained her, she worried that the expelled forces would warn their sects before Master and the others noticed.

• Xiao Hei’s transformation revealed a trace of Dragon Clan bloodline and a tiny golden light that overshadowed both his Demon God and Dragon Clan bloodlines.
• Ji Qianyao refused to let Yin Qi, Wu Heng, and Deng Zhun pass, and told Jin Wujin to stay out of the fight so she could test her control of Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• Yin Qi, Wu Heng, and Deng Zhun attacked Ji Qianyao together, but her purple-qi-wreathed silk ribbons dispersed their strongest strikes and threatened to overwhelm them.
• Yin Qi, Wu Heng, and Deng Zhun crushed their Dragon Vein jade pendants and teleported out, followed by the disciples of their three forces, sending their points to the Jade Lake Immortal Palace.
• Ji Qianyao withdrew Hongmeng Purple Qi and returned to the peak stage of the God King Realm, while Jin Wujin warned that the expelled forces might alert their sects.

Xiao Hei absorbed the golden light from Senior Lu’s blood essence, reached the Early God King Realm, and obtained the reverse scale before the group left the Dragon Vein. Outside, the Golden-Winged Peng Clan and Jade Lake Immortal Palace learned they had won the competition, but the three defeated sects had gathered their forces and trapped everyone inside a barrier.

• The leaders of Silver Dragon Mountain Manor, the Heavenly Firmament Sect, and Crimson Flame Hall learned what had happened inside the Dragon Vein and secretly summoned their forces.

• Jin Wujin revealed that the Golden-Winged Peng Clan had scored thirty points, while Ji Qianyao showed that Jade Lake Immortal Palace had scored twenty.
• Jin Wujin urged Patriarch Jin to summon the clan, but the forces of the three sects arrived first and sealed everyone inside an enormous barrier.

The three sect leaders trapped the Golden Feather Army and Jade Lake Immortal Palace behind a powerful barrier and demanded Xiao Hei’s treasure, reverse scale, and Dragon Vein rights. As the factions prepared for war, Xiao Hei’s master appeared through a spatial rift and effortlessly dispersed an attack, leaving the sect leaders demanding to know who he was.

• The three sect leaders demanded the heaven-tier secret treasure, the reverse scale, and the Dragon Vein rights, threatening war while the barrier prevented anyone from sending messages.
• Ji Qianyao told Ji Liuzhi that the three sect leaders were Xiao Hei and his companions’ master’s disciples, and Ji Liuzhi chose to fight; Patriarch Jin joined her.
• Xiao Hei deduced that Mu Fusheng had notified their master, then teased Ye Qiubai about being punished to sweep the mountain again.
• The Heavenly Firmament Sect’s master tried to seize Xiao Hei, but a finger emerging from a spatial rift calmly dispersed his attack.
• The three sect leaders called into the rift to ask who had arrived, while Ji Qianyao delightedly said she could finally see him.

Lu Changsheng arrived through a spatial rift and stopped the three sects from taking Xiao Hei’s treasure and bloodline. When the sect leaders tried to back down, Lu Changsheng decided to eliminate them to keep them from threatening his disciples after he left.

• Lu Changsheng emerged from the spatial rift, and Ye Qiubai, Xiao Hei, Mu Fusheng, and Fang Qiong greeted him as their master.
• Jin Wujin realized Xiao Hei and Ji Qianyao were Lu Changsheng’s disciples, while Ji Qianyao greeted Lu Changsheng affectionately and he tried to keep his distance.
• Lu Changsheng scolded Ye Qiubai and rejected Ji Qianyao’s excuse to ask for help with her cultivation.
• The Heavenly Firmament Sect, Crimson Flame Hall, and Silver Dragon Mountain Manor offered to let the matter go, but Lu Changsheng feared they might target his disciples later.
• Lu Changsheng declared that he had to kill the three sects’ representatives to ensure his disciples’ safety, leaving them stunned.

Lu Changsheng sealed the Dragon Vein and the entire Heavenly River Star Region with barriers, cutting off the three major factions from their reinforcements. He then unleashed his palm and Sword Qi storms, wiping out everyone from the three factions.

• Lu Changsheng attacked the three factions with a giant palm imprint and converging Sword Qi storms as they tried to break through the barriers.
• The Sword Qi storms swept over the three factions and extinguished all their lives.

Lu Changsheng annihilated the three factions’ forces, then helped Ji Qianyao investigate why she could not fuse Hongmeng Purple Qi with her cultivation method. He found that her method needed to be upgraded and asked the System whether it could be done.

• Lu Changsheng destroyed the gathered forces of the three major factions, and Patriarch Jin and Ji Liuzhi swore not to reveal what had happened.
• Lu Changsheng told Mu Fusheng to erase every trace of the battle, then left to clean up the three factions’ remaining mess.
• Ji Qianyao said she would cultivate harder so she could reach a realm that would draw Lu Changsheng’s attention, while Ji Liuzhi worried she might never catch up to him.
• Mu Fusheng finished erasing the battle traces, and Lu Changsheng told Ye Qiubai to sweep the Cottage and its surroundings when they returned.
• Ji Qianyao asked Lu Changsheng for cultivation advice, and he examined her before finding that her cultivation method’s level was too low to fuse with Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• Lu Changsheng asked the System whether Ji Qianyao’s cultivation method could be upgraded.

Lu Changsheng used Grand Primordium to fuse his Yang Qi with Ji Qianyao’s Yin Qi, enabling her to safely cultivate and strengthen the Jade Lake Heart Sutra. After a day, Ji Qianyao broke through to the early-stage God Emperor Realm, leaving Ji Liuzhi stunned by Lu Changsheng’s achievement.

• The system told Lu Changsheng that the Jade Lake Heart Sutra needed harmony between Yin and Yang to reach its greatest power.
• Lu Changsheng realized Grand Primordium could fuse Ji Qianyao’s Yin Qi with Yang Qi and infused his Yang Qi with the power of primordial beginning.
• Ji Qianyao followed Lu Changsheng’s instructions and circulated the Jade Lake Heart Sutra, while Ji Liuzhi warned that using Yang Qi could destroy her cultivation or endanger her life.
• Ye Qiubai defended Lu Changsheng’s judgment, and Lu Changsheng ordered him to sweep the Changsheng Realm when they returned for boasting about his master.
• After a day, Ji Qianyao’s Yin Qi and Yang Qi fused smoothly, transforming the Jade Lake Heart Sutra and raising her to the early-stage God Emperor Realm.
• Ji Liuzhi reacted with disbelief when she realized Lu Changsheng had strengthened the Jade Lake Immortal Palace’s secret cultivation method.

After the three major factions were destroyed, the Yin-Yang Divine Lord ordered an investigation, while Lu Changsheng settled his debts with Ji Liuzhi and prepared to leave for the Dark Domain. He warned Ye Qiubai and the others to grow stronger and stay safe before disappearing toward the Dark Domain’s territory.

• The destruction of Silver Dragon Mountain Manor, Crimson Flame Hall, and the Heavenly Firmament Sect caused widespread speculation, but investigators found no traces of the attackers.
• The Yin-Yang Divine Lord learned that her three dispatched factions had been destroyed and ordered the old man to investigate and buy information from the Dark Domain.
