Chapter Summaries

Zhang Junbao impressed Morpheus by forging a powerful Space Cage treasure, so Morpheus brought him to Craftsman God Mountain to attempt the Heaven-Reaching Stairway. In its first trial, Zhang Junbao endured immense soul pain and answered that the Universe Origin itself was the strongest treasure; a giant hammer-wielding figure then turned to look at him.

• Zhang Junbao showed Morpheus the Space Cage he had refined from an Ethereal Stone, and Morpheus recognized it as a powerful domain-type Heavy Treasure.
• Morpheus decided he could not judge Zhang Junbao's unusual refining skill and took him toward the mountain's eldest disciple, explaining that Zhang Junbao must first forge steps on the Heaven-Reaching Stairway.

• Zhang Junbao declared that the Universe Origin was the strongest treasure because all things and laws came from it and followed its rules.
• A giant figure stopped hammering the universe and turned its gaze toward Zhang Junbao.

After the Master of Craftsman God's phantom struck Zhang Junbao with a giant hammer, Zhang Junbao comprehended the Universe Origin and forged a ladder to the heavens through the Five Elements Laws. His hammering resonated throughout Craftsman God Mountain, drawing in its disciples and visitors, while the Master of Craftsman God watched him from the summit.

• The visitors and disciples across Craftsman God Mountain tried to follow Zhang Junbao's rhythm, and the Master of Craftsman God opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on Zhang Junbao.

Zhang Junbao forged the Heaven-Reaching Stairway for a thousand years, resonating with the Origin of Laws and granting the powerhouses on Craftsman God Mountain major insights.

• The Master of Craftsman God brought Zhang to the Flame Gourd, explained its power to refine Top-tier Supreme Treasures, and told him to jump into its flames.

The Master of Craftsman God proposed using the Flame Gourd to forge Zhang Junbao’s Life Genes, treating his Battle Armor Clan Clone as Treasure Refining material. Zhang Junbao and his Clone entered the flames together, where the painful genetic reforging began as the Master of Craftsman God watched and wondered whether Sitting Mountain Guest had chosen Zhang Junbao as his true successor.

The Master of Craftsman God began the second stage of recasting Zhang Junbao’s life genes by exposing him to the deadly Blood of Ten Thousand Lifeforms.

• After Zhang Junbao endured a thousand years of gene refinement, the Master of Craftsman God prepared the Blood of Ten Thousand Lifeforms for the next stage of the test.
• The Master of Craftsman God poured the blood into the Flame Gourd, where it surged toward Zhang Junbao and his Extreme Yang Clone.
• Zhang Junbao’s Extreme Yang Clone swallowed the blood and acted as a genetic filter, using Treasure Devouring and Armor Transformation to protect Zhang Junbao’s main body.
• Zhang Junbao invoked the True Meaning of Taiji and sought to understand the Special Lifeform genes as part of the Universe Origin rather than simply resisting or accepting them.
• The Master of Craftsman God realized Zhang Junbao was attempting an unprecedented feat, then watched in shock as Zhang Junbao began absorbing the life genes.

Zhang Junbao survived the refinement of his life genes with the Blood of Ten Thousand Lifeforms and raised his Life Gene Level to 7,200-fold. The Master of Craftsman God confirmed that he had passed the test and revealed that Zhang Junbao’s next test would take place at the Ancestral God Sect.

As Zhang Junbao prepared to train and seek Beast God Crystallization for his Supreme Treasure, he learned that the Lord of Sky Wolf possessed a relevant treasure and became a potential target.

• The Master of Craftsman God praised Zhang Junbao for fusing the genes of 10,080 Special Lifeforms and explained that the Universe Origin Will favored some beings.

After refining with the Master of Craftsman God for thousands of years, Zhang Junbao emerged as Daoist Sanfeng and offered to forge Ordinary Supreme Treasures for Beast God Inheritance Tokens.

• Venerable Kuiniu offered two Beast God Inheritance Tokens and demonstrated his Giant God Headbutt so Zhang Junbao could tailor a Supreme Treasure to it.

Zhang Junbao survived Venerable Pingtian’s attack by detonating the hidden Strongest Fire God Source Crystal in Pingtian’s Supreme Treasure axe, leaving Pingtian gravely weakened. After the Master of Craftsman God’s disciples subdued Pingtian and Venerable Kurui, Zhang Junbao taunted the Lord of Sky Wolf, who attacked him, but the Master of Craftsman God intervened.

After intimidating their guide, Zhang Junbao revealed that he had five Beast God Inheritance Tokens, and the group was taken closer to the seven-colored river.
