Chapter Summaries

Lin Heng settled into the Heavenly Saber Sect and overheard Jiang Junjie and Jiang Huarong say that sect master Jiang Yu had grown close to a woman Lin Heng believed was his mother, Liu Ling'er. After learning she seemed safe and well, Lin Heng decided to seek a private meeting with her, while resolving to help the kind Qu Yongliang recover from his injuries.

• Lin Heng met Qu Yongliang, discovered his severe internal injuries, and decided to see whether he was truly kind before helping him.
• Lin Heng spent his days working at dining hall number five and used the location to gain rewards while listening in on the sect's experts.
• Lin Heng intercepted Jiang Junjie and Jiang Huarong's divine-sense conversation and learned Jiang Yu often visited a woman at Purple Maple Valley and kept others from disturbing her.
• Lin Heng suspected the woman was Liu Ling'er and wondered whether she and Jiang Yu were romantically involved, but felt relieved that she appeared to be doing well.
• Lin Heng observed that Zhao Ming treated him poorly while Qu Yongliang cared for him and spared him work, so he decided to help Qu Yongliang regain his health.

Lin Heng secretly left Qu Yongliang a Quasi-God Pill, while Heavenly Saber Sect master Jiang Yu uncovered Lin Heng’s false identity and suspected he had been sent by his father. The next morning, Jiang Yu invited Lin Heng to drink with him and served him powerful Maple Dew Brew.

• Lin Heng left Qu Yongliang an eighth-grade Body-Sculpting Pill and used divine sense to explain its healing and strengthening effects.
• Jiang Yu examined the pill, told Qu Yongliang to accept the fortuitous opportunity, and privately reasoned that Lin Heng was an impostor who might have been sent by his father.

• Jiang Yu called Lin Heng over to a pavilion, and Lin Heng accepted the invitation despite suspecting that his disguise had been discovered.
• Jiang Yu poured Lin Heng a cup of Maple Dew Brew, which Lin Heng sensed contained enough energy to overwhelm a Martial King.

Jiang Yu met with Lin Heng, hinted that he knew about Lin Heng's cultivation, and discussed the Heavenly Saber Sect's internal and external threats. He left Lin Heng with a pot of Maple Dew Brew and warned him that the other God Kings could detect his probing divine sense.

• Jiang Yu offered Lin Heng Maple Dew Brew and repeatedly mentioned Wuji Star, leaving Lin Heng unsure whether Jiang Yu had mistaken him for someone else.

• Jiang Yu explained that he was deliberately provoking his opponents to reveal themselves, and Lin Heng recognized his plan to eliminate future threats.
• Jiang Yu said the sect could wait about a hundred years for Liu Ling'er to grow strong enough to help counter Feng Wuhen, and explained why the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion could not easily call in outside help.
• Jiang Yu gave Lin Heng the remaining Maple Dew Brew and warned him that continued divine-sense investigations would alert the other two God Kings.

Lin Heng returned to the outer sect and openly displayed strength that stunned Zhao Ming and the other disciples. He used Supreme-Grade Maple Dew Brew to strengthen his Divine Soul and, on his thirty-fifth day in Purple Maple Valley, advanced his soul realm to the God King Realm, bringing him closer to seeing Liu Ling'er.

• Lin Heng returned to the training ground, kicked a fifty-thousand-jin iron pillar aside, and drank Maple Dew Brew while Zhao Ming and the outer sect disciples stared in shock.
• Zhao Ming mocked Lin Heng for claiming to drink Maple Dew Brew and threatened to send him to the mines, but Lin Heng left for his quarters without concern.
• Lin Heng drank Supreme-Grade Maple Dew Brew and found that it was more than twenty times as potent as ordinary Maple Dew Brew, significantly strengthening his Divine Soul.
• Lin Heng kept drinking two sips of Supreme-Grade Maple Dew Brew every half hour while continuing to sign in at the inner sect's number five dining hall.
• On his thirty-fifth day in Purple Maple Valley, Lin Heng advanced his soul realm to the God King Realm before finishing the jar.

Lin Heng reached the God King Realm in soul cultivation and secretly teleported to reunite with his mother, Liu Ling'er, in Purple Maple Valley. After revealing his strength and giving her treasures and cultivation techniques, he agreed to consider staying with her under the Heavenly Saber Sect’s protection.

• Lin Heng’s Divine Soul Pearl transformed into a dragon-shaped Soul Dharma Form, marking his soul realm’s entry into the God King Realm.

• Liu Ling'er suggested they stay with the Heavenly Saber Sect for protection, and Lin Heng considered the plan.

Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er reaffirmed their commitment to help the Heavenly Saber Sect against the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion, while agreeing to keep Lin Heng’s identity secret from Jiang Yu. Lin Heng then signed in at several inner-sect locations, obtained a quasi-saint pill and artifact, and swallowed the pill after returning to his outer-sect quarters.

• Liu Ling'er reminded Lin Heng that Jiang Yu and Liu Fusheng had saved her, and Lin Heng agreed to help the Heavenly Saber Sect face the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion.

• Lin Heng returned to his outer-sect stone building and swallowed the Heavenly Ganoderma Golden Ginseng Pill.

Lin Heng used the Heavenly Ganoderma Golden Ginseng Pill to form a Divine Infant and settled into the God King Realm. After Jiang Yu returned, the Heavenly Saber Sect’s leaders debated the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion’s demand that they surrender Liu Ling'er in exchange for peace and the return of Five Seas Star.

• Lin Heng formed a Divine Infant overnight, gaining a second life and the ability to cultivate continuously.

• Jiang Fengnian revealed that the Fusheng God King had lost his Divine Body and that only two God Kings could currently fight for the sect.
• Jiang Yu rejected the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion’s demand for Liu Ling'er, while Jiang Junjie and Jiang Huarong argued that the sect should accept the terms to survive.

Jiang Yu vetoed the Heavenly Saber Sect's vote to accept the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion's ceasefire terms, while Feng Wuhen revealed that his demand for Liu Ling'er was meant to justify destroying the sect and trap Lin Heng. Jiang Yu then visited Liu Ling'er and learned that she had advanced to the High-Stage Heavenly God realm.

• Jiang Yu argued that the Heavenly Saber Sect should protect Liu Ling'er because her Supreme Divine Physique could help them oppose the Heavenly Sword God King.
• Jiang Junjie and Jiang Huarong rallied support for accepting the ceasefire, and most of the higher-ups voted against Jiang Yu's position.

Jiang Yu learned that Liu Ling'er had received a supreme-grade pill and wine from a mysterious visitor, whom he assumed was his father helping the Heavenly Saber Sect. Facing the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion’s threatened attack in two months, Jiang Yu sought advice from Lin Heng, who remained confused about why Jiang Yu thought he could help.

• Liu Ling'er told Jiang Yu that a mysterious person had left her the Yin-Yang Return to Void Pill and Supreme-Grade Maple Dew Brew, and Jiang Yu assumed his father had sent them.
• Jiang Yu explained that the Heavenly Sword God King had left the Fusheng God King with only his Divine Infant and that the Heavenly Saber Sect faced another attack in two months.
• Jiang Yu tasted Liu Ling'er's wine and recognized it as Supreme-Grade Maple Dew Brew, further concluding that his father was secretly aiding him.
• Jiang Yu met Lin Heng in the little maple grove, complained that Lin Heng had not shared his good wine, and took the remaining Supreme-Grade Maple Dew Brew.
• Jiang Yu asked Lin Heng to help devise a countermeasure against the Heavenly Sword God King, while Lin Heng wondered why Jiang Yu had mistaken him for someone from the Wuji Sword Sect.

As the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion’s deadline approached, the Heavenly Saber Sect fractured, while Feng Wuhen received permission from the Wuji Sword Sect to destroy it under the condition that Jiang Yu survive. Jiang Yu revealed his father’s identity to Liu Fusheng and urged him to flee, but Liu refused, leaving the sect facing an imminent attack.

• Jiang Yu let members who feared the coming battle leave the Heavenly Saber Sect, and more disciples departed as the deadline drew near.

• Lin Heng gave Liu Ling'er a Nine-Aperture Blood Lotus Root and a Soul-Nurturing Pearl for Liu Fusheng to rebuild his Divine Body and Divine Soul.
• Liu Ling'er delivered the treasures to Liu Fusheng, who began consuming them despite fearing he still could not defeat Heavenly Sword God King.
• Lin Heng gained the Nether Flame Divine Body at the Fire God Plateau, greatly increasing his strength within the Nether Flame Star System.

• The Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion activated its formation around Purple Maple Valley, and Jiang Fengnian explained that the valley had a protective formation of its own.
• Ye Hongchen arrived to oversee the battle and planned to secure Lin Heng for the Wuji Sword Sect if he appeared.
• Feng Wuhen ordered Liu Chuantao to attack while he watched for Lin Heng, and Liu Chuantao led Heavenly God experts against the valley's northern side.
• Liu Fusheng emerged in golden divine armor and struck Liu Chuantao with a saber beam, startling the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion's forces.
• Liu Chuantao survived the attack, while Feng Wuhen and Jiang Fengnian realized that Liu Fusheng had fully recovered.

• Jiang Yu emerged surrounded by saber-shaped light, and a rainbow light from the hall transformed around Liu Fusheng; Jiang Fengnian identified it as the Heavenly Saber Sect's foundation.

Liu Fusheng used the God Emperor saber intent to battle Feng Wuhen, while Jiang Yu was held back by Liu Chuantao. As the saber intent began to fade, Liu Fusheng sent out his Divine Infant to unleash a final attack on Feng Wuhen.

• Jiang Fengnian explained that the Heavenly Saber Sect's God Emperor saber intent could raise Liu Fusheng to the peak of the God King Realm and let Jiang Yu threaten the Ten Thousand Swords God King.

• As the saber intent weakened, Liu Fusheng released his Divine Infant and pagoda manifestation, transferred the saber intent into them, and sent the Divine Infant charging at Feng Wuhen.

Lin Heng intervened in Liu Fusheng’s losing battle against Feng Wuhen, freezing the battlefield and striking Feng Wuhen with powerful sword techniques. He left Feng Wuhen shattered and the watching factions stunned by his strength.

Ye Hongchen, a God Emperor and Wuji Sword Sect envoy, intervened to protect Feng Wuhen, but Lin Heng refused to back down and drew the Seven Stars Sky-Rending Saber.

• Jiang Fengnian and the Heavenly Saber Sect disciples regretted abandoning the sect after they recognized Wang A'niu as the powerhouse defeating the Heavenly Sword God King.

• Lin Heng and Ye Hongchen clashed sword against saber, and Ye Hongchen grew alarmed as Lin Heng fought fiercely within the domain.

Lin Heng killed the Heavenly Sword God King, drove Ye Hongchen away, and helped the Heavenly Saber Sect defeat the Heaven-Soaring Sword Pavilion. Jiang Yu and Liu Fusheng warned Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er that the Wuji Sword Sect's God Venerable elder made their next move dangerous, and suggested fleeing the Langya Star Domain.

• Jiang Fengnian and his family swore eternal loyalty to Jiang Yu and the Heavenly Saber Sect so they could return.

• After nearly two months of travel, Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er stopped on Yalong Star, where Lin Heng intended to visit the ruins left by the Saint Realm expert Yalong.

Lin Heng and Liu Ling'er traveled to Yalong Star, where Lin Heng signed in at the teleportation array and received a Saint-grade cultivation art. At the Qianxu Sect, he signed in for Yalong’s Holy Sword and arranged to stay in the courtyard where Yalong once lived, preparing to sign in again.
