Chapter Summaries

Zhang Junbao used his Cloud-Touching Vine, Moyun, to defeat Yanling and let it enslave him so he could cultivate the vine with his Mud Transformation secret technique. After the battle turned in the Blood God Squad’s favor, Zhang Junbao sent Yanling to capture Baituo as another potential cultivator for Moyun.

Zhang Junbao used the Cloud-Touching Vine to enslave Baituo and Yanling, then sent them to help kill Sinaike. They nearly captured him, but Kongshan and two other powerful Demon Race experts appeared, leaving Zhang Junbao, Blood God, and Wuerdi facing three foes with Marquis-level strength.

The Blood God Squad faced four Demon Race Immortals and Gewensi’s modified spider warriors, leaving them on the brink of defeat. Zhang Junbao unleashed his Cloud-Touching Vine, which overwhelmed the attackers and left Kongshan dying as he marveled at the resources used to raise it.

Zhang Junbao used his Cloud-Touching Vine to kill Kongshan and the other Immortals, saving the Blood God Squad and earning their respect. After refusing most of the spoils, he declined Blood God's offer to become captain because his military mission would soon take him beyond the squad’s ability to follow.

• Zhang Junbao offered to give the squad something before leaving, reminding them that he was a Treasure Refiner.

Zhang Junbao offered to refine tailored treasures for the Blood God Squad in exchange for insights into their secret techniques, and he began making powerful equipment for them. When Kumu revealed that his inherited path required fusing the Law of Wood with the Time Law, Zhang Junbao urgently asked where the inheritance came from, seeking evidence that laws across the usual space-time boundary could be fused.

• Zhang Junbao offered to refine treasures for the Blood God Squad, but Blood God insisted they repay him with their spoils and secret-technique insights rather than accept gifts.
• The squad shared their secret techniques with Zhang Junbao, who agreed to make treasures suited to each member’s fighting style; Blood God requested a Domain Type treasure.

• Kumu told Zhang Junbao that an inheritance had greatly strengthened him but required him to fuse the Law of Wood with the Time Law to reach immortality.
• Zhang Junbao recognized the inheritance’s unusual law fusion and urgently offered Kumu a peak F-class treasure in exchange for the inheritance’s origin.

Zhang Junbao learned that Kumu’s secret technique came from the dangerous Central Star Core, the former homeworld of the Eight God Race, and decided to investigate it. After crafting a treasure for Kumu, he parted from the Blood God Squad and flew toward the Central Star Core to begin his next journey.

• Blood God told Zhang Junbao that the Blood God Squad had found Kumu’s secret technique in a surviving research base at the Central Star Core and had been attacked after leaving.

• Zhang Junbao flew away in his Void Whale Spaceship toward the Central Star Core, while Blood God and the squad watched him go.

Zhang Junbao studied Kumu’s Withering of Wood technique and reflected on the difficult law-fusion path he intended to pursue. After choosing to continue fighting in the Outer Domain Battlefield, he traveled toward the Central Star Core and decided to hone himself at Sand Halberd Island.

• Zhang Junbao examined Withering of Wood, which sought to fuse the Law of Wood and the Time Law, and considered how it related to his own path of cultivating the True Meaning of Taiji.

• Nine Dragons Marquis swallowed a flash of light, recovered rapidly, and transformed into a huge, feral dragon with power approaching King Level.

After learning the Eight God Race’s history, he gained permission to explore the ruins of its home planet with support from a team of King-level Immortals.

• Zhang Junbao fortified his mountain hideout with detectors and the Cloud-Touching Vine, then asked Baituo and Yanling about King-level Immortals exploring the Central Star Core.

After a century of honing his skills on Sand Halberd Island, Zhang Junbao refined his approach to creating a Taiji-based combat secret technique and prepared to test it against stronger foes.
