Chapter Summaries

Li Yan studied and began cultivating the Great Luo Star Eyes while traveling across the Heavenly Demon Grassland, then searched for a hidden entrance described in Chi Wu’s jade slip. After half a year without finding it, he continued his search through a fierce snowstorm, hoping the concealed place could shelter the Snow Mosquito Clan.

• Li Yan examined six jade slips for more than two months, then drove off a Human Race cultivator whose mutated fire nearly destroyed his divine thought avatar.
• Li Yan concluded that Su Wenzhou had spent roughly three thousand years perfecting the Great Luo Star Eyes’ introductory section and decided to cultivate it before making any changes of his own.
• Li Yan reached the withered grassland in autumn and searched for the hidden entrance described in Chi Wu’s jade slip, passing three Spirit Transformation Demon Cultivators without revealing himself.
• Li Yan searched for another half year without finding the entrance and hoped the hidden place would make a safe home for the Snow Mosquito Clan.
• Li Yan continued his search as fierce winds and heavy snow swept across the grassland.

Li Yan searched the blizzard-covered Heavenly Demon Grassland for the location described in Chi Wu’s jade slip and found a concealed restriction on a broken stone at the bottom of a lake. He used Great Luo Star Eyes to reveal the restriction’s hidden lines, leaving him poised to investigate the secret realm within.

• Li Yan left Qianji safely inside Tuban because the central grassland was too dangerous for him.
• While searching with Divine Sense, Li Yan reflected on how Great Luo Star Eyes revealed the laws of heaven and earth and had begun advancing his Gui Water True Scripture.
• Li Yan found a lake matching Chi Wu’s jade slip, with two gullies leading toward a forest of cloud cedars, and confirmed it was his destination.
• Li Yan descended to the lakebed and detected a faint restriction on a broken stone after strengthening his Divine Sense.
• Li Yan activated Great Luo Star Eyes and saw colored lines that revealed the restriction concealed among the stone’s natural lines.

Li Yan used the Heaven-Stealing Kerchief to enter the icy secret realm without disturbing the Mystic Frost Insect. After concealing himself in a mirror-lined canyon, he investigated a force above it that seemed to conceal a restriction and activated the Great Luo Star Eyes to examine the summit.

• Li Yan waited nearly a day for the Heaven-Stealing Kerchief to open a tiny entrance in the broken stone, then slipped through it.
• Li Yan arrived in a freezing canyon and immediately raised his defenses against the Mystic Frost Insect.
• Li Yan concealed himself after reflections of his red armor appeared across the mirror-smooth ice.
• Li Yan sensed an oppressive force above the canyon that might be tied to a restriction, so he withdrew his divine sense.
• Li Yan activated the Great Luo Star Eyes and looked toward the top of the canyon.

Li Yan cautiously crossed the canyon and discovered a vast, freezing realm that seemed suitable for the Snow Mosquito clan. His divine sense found a lake resembling the one used to enter the secret realm, and after examining it, he sensed something was wrong.

• Li Yan used the Great Luo Star Eyes to detect a sophisticated restriction or formation above the canyon and chose to explore ahead.
• He carefully crossed the canyon and confirmed that its restriction ended at the exit.
• Li Yan surveyed the icefield beyond, finding dense spiritual energy, cold-weather plants, no demon beasts within thousands of li, and no boundary even after his divine sense reached ten thousand li.
• Li Yan discovered a lake resembling the one on the Heavenly Demon Grassland and suspected it held special significance for the realm's master.
• He noticed the lake remained unfrozen despite the extreme cold, cautiously examined it with his divine sense, and withdrew after sensing something was wrong.

Li Yan searched the icy secret realm for the Mystic Frost Insect and the Frost Marrow Jade Crystal Branch, unsure whether the demon had advanced or concealed itself. As he approached a Glacial Rift, he was caught in a hidden formation and confronted by an enormous serpent-shaped demon beast.

• Li Yan found no trace of the Mystic Frost Insect or the Frost Marrow Jade Crystal Branch and worried that the demon might have advanced to the eighth tier.
• Li Yan decided to investigate the secret realm thoroughly before withdrawing, since the Snow Mosquito race would be endangered if the demon returned.
• Li Yan approached the lake cautiously, using Stealth Night Concealment as he traveled across the icefield.
• Li Yan felt a sudden warning while crossing a Glacial Rift and retreated, but an invisible barrier stopped him.
• A serpent-shaped demon beast rose from the Glacial Rift, trapped Li Yan in its formation, and told him not to leave.

Li Yan was trapped in a glacier formation by a middle seventh-tier serpentine Demon Beast and realized the creature had mistaken him for Bai Yan and Chi Wu. As the Demon Beast assessed him, its scheme became clear: it had lured the fox couple with false information about the Frost Marrow Jade Crystal Branch and prepared the trap to kill them, but Li Yan had arrived instead.

• Li Yan emerged inside the formation, judged the serpentine Demon Beast to be middle seventh tier, and found that his attempt to escape had failed.
• The Demon Beast questioned Li Yan about Bai Yan and Chi Wu, while Li Yan inferred that it had set a trap for the fox couple and mistaken him for them.
• The Demon Beast had planned to kill Bai Yan for his yin fire, blood essence, and soul so it could break through its cultivation bottleneck.
• The Demon Beast had planted false clues about the Frost Marrow Jade Crystal Branch and the Mystic Frost Insect to lure Bai Yan and Chi Wu into its secret realm.
• The Demon Beast waited for thousands of years, convinced its concealed formation would catch the fox couple, and arranged harmless crevasses before the deadly trap to lower an intruder's guard.

Li Yan was caught in the Ice Ant Heaven-Shaker Beast’s hidden formation and tried to escape by striking the barrier while keeping the demon at bay. The formation held against his first blow, leaving him to endure its icy attack and continue fighting for a way out.

• The Ice Ant Heaven-Shaker Beast revealed himself and challenged Li Yan, who apologized and offered to leave while secretly gathering power.
• The demon refused to let Li Yan go and asked him to break the formation trapping him, prompting Li Yan to attack the barrier instead of his captor.
• Li Yan unleashed red spikes from Chi Wu’s bone and struck the formation with Qiongqi’s power, but the barrier withstood his blow.
• The formation’s white light swept toward Li Yan, who activated half a set of True Spirit Armor and launched another barrage of red spikes to keep the demon occupied.

Li Yan attacked the serpentine creature, but its vibrational power disrupted his strength and shattered his defenses, leaving him trapped beneath a barrage of white blades. As he struggled to understand the creature’s technique, he realized its law-turbulence was not Five Elements Chaotic Cloak but the result of extreme compression and vibration.

• Li Yan’s crimson spikes were pulverized by a vibration from the serpentine creature, and a formation blade struck his True Spirit Armor while he was momentarily stunned.
• The serpentine creature combined its innate vibrational power with the formation to disrupt Li Yan’s magical power, physical strength, and soul power, then launched a greatly strengthened white-blade attack.
• The white blade pierced Li Yan’s defenses and cut into his waist, but his Flawguard defense stopped it from penetrating farther.
• The serpentine creature sent more white blades toward Li Yan as the surrounding space compressed and vibrated, leaving him unable to gather his power or retreat.
• Li Yan recognized that the law-turbulence was caused by rapid compression and vibration rather than Five Elements Chaotic Cloak.

Li Yan countered the Serpent-Shaped Monster’s power-disrupting technique by using his nascent soul and the Five Elements Chaotic Cloak to restore his strength and interfere with the vibrations. Still trapped and at a disadvantage, he prepared to unleash Prison Breaker at full power to escape the formation.

• Li Yan recognized that violent spatial vibrations were scattering his magical, soul, and physical power, then used his nascent soul to restore control over his magical power.
• Li Yan survived the Serpent-Shaped Monster’s second volley with hastily formed armor, a barrier, and Flawguard.
• The Serpent-Shaped Monster was shocked when Li Yan’s defenses returned and the vibrations began disrupting his innate divine ability.
• Li Yan unleashed the Five Elements Chaotic Cloak, interfering with the monster’s technique but failing to overpower it.
• Believing the formation caused the vibrations, Li Yan decided to break out and prepared to unleash Prison Breaker at full power.

Li Yan used the Five Elements Chaotic Cloak and Prison Breaker to escape the serpentine demon’s formation, while the demon misidentified him as a Qiongqi and pursued him for his valuable bloodline. Li Yan tested the demon’s attacks with a length of red bone, then faced three silver arrows appearing at his forehead, dantian, and lower back.

• Li Yan disrupted the serpentine demon’s vibrating formation with the Five Elements Chaotic Cloak and broke through it with Prison Breaker, briefly revealing his Qiongqi form.
• The serpentine demon mistook Li Yan for a Qiongqi and chased him, believing his bloodline would be valuable to capture.
• Li Yan retreated along his known route, confirmed that no other demon beasts were nearby, and slowed to confront his pursuer.
• The serpentine demon attacked Li Yan with two fangs, and Li Yan deflected them with a length of red bone while gauging their strength.
• As the serpentine demon prepared a killing move, three silver arrows appeared at his forehead, dantian, and lower back, causing sharp pain.
