Chapter Summaries

Li Yan brought Zhao Min into his hidden space and arranged a quiet place for her to stay while he gathered information in Saint Demon City. After he left, Qianji nearly damaged the surroundings by opening a bottle of powerful ice-beast cores, and he and Zi Kun debated what to call Zhao Min.

• Li Yan transported Zhao Min into his hidden space, where she met Zi Kun and Qianji and chose a quiet cave by the stream.
• Li Yan told Zi Kun and Qianji to obey Zhao Min, then gave Qianji four magic cores from Snowland Seven-Segment Insects and warned him to absorb them cautiously.
• Li Yan left to explore Saint Demon City and seek information, while Zhao Min reminded him to be careful during the next day or so.

• Zi Kun stopped Qianji from opening the bottle further, and Qianji apologized after the grass began recovering.
• Qianji asked what to call Zhao Min, and Zi Kun suggested calling her “Mistress” because of her relationship with Li Yan.

Li Yan hid Zhao Min inside Tuban, drawing the attention of the Holy Demon Palace’s elders and then a Nascent Soul cultivator who had followed her. The intruder, Dao Yu, demanded to know where Zhao Min had gone, while Li Yan denied seeing her.

• After Zi Kun suggested that Zhao Min was Li Yan’s mistress, Zhao Min overheard that other female cultivators had once entered the place too.

• Li Yan evaded Dao Yu’s grasp with his movement ability but found the courtyard exits sealed and his formation restrictions disabled.
• Dao Yu decided to take Li Yan’s movement ability and attacked with a barrage of fist shadows as Li Yan met him with overlapping strikes.

Li Yan endured Dao Yu’s assault while concealing a counterattack, then wounded the Nascent Soul Cultivator with the Guiyi Water-Parting Spike. Dao Yu survived the ambush, and the two remained locked in the sealed courtyard.

• Dao Yu battered Li Yan while holding back, and Li Yan pushed his body to its limit to avoid being captured.

• Li Yan used the Guiyi Water-Parting Spike to pierce Dao Yu’s right eye and wound his soul, but Dao Yu dodged the fatal strike and recovered.

Li Yan escaped Daoyu’s attack by retreating into the Tuban space, where Zhao Min found him gravely wounded. As Li Yan began recovering, he warned her that Daoyu might discover the space or bring a Spirit Transformation cultivator to search for him.

• Daoyu attacked Li Yan with ten massive axes, but Li Yan vanished before they struck, leaving Daoyu baffled.
• Zhao Min saw Li Yan fall into the Tuban space with severe injuries, and he used silver light and pills to begin healing.
• Li Yan told Zhao Min that Daoyu had followed her, forced his way through the restrictions, and lost an eye to Li Yan’s counterattack.
• Li Yan explained that Daoyu might deduce he possessed an independent space and could summon a Spirit Transformation cultivator, then began meditating to recover.
• Zhao Min stayed beside Li Yan, while Zi Kun and Qianji returned and watched anxiously as Daoyu searched the courtyard without finding the space.

Daoyu realized Li Yan and Zhao Min had escaped using a powerful space-type treasure, then searched the deep pit and surrounding soil for days without finding them. After Nascent-Soul Flame worsened the pain in his soul, he was forced to stop, while the Holy Devil Palace's leaders investigated another fluctuation in the Sect Protection Array.

• Daoyu concluded that Li Yan had hidden a stable space-type treasure and used it to make Zhao Min and himself disappear.
• The white-haired young man and the gorgeous woman sensed a brief fluctuation in the Sect Protection Array and went to investigate.
• Daoyu searched the pit and nearby dust for four days, but found no trace of Li Yan, Zhao Min, or the treasure.
• Daoyu collected suspicious soil and burned it with Nascent-Soul Flame, but found nothing and aggravated the wound in his soul caused by the Guiyi Water-Parting Spike.
• Daoyu decided he could not continue using Nascent-Soul Flame or remain indefinitely, and worried that the incident in Saint Demon City could damage the Holy Devil Palace's reputation.

• Mo Yu tried to crush the speck with increasing mana, but it remained unharmed and resisted even his great power.
• Lan Bing warned Mo Yu that the treasure required another method to open, and the two recognized its extraordinary value.
• Mo Yu erased and altered Dao Yu’s memories, then he and Lan Bing studied the floating speck of dust.

The White Devil Race’s white-haired youth tried to break the restriction on Li Yan’s spatial treasure while the beautiful woman investigated Li Yan and suspected his connection to Zhao Min. Inside the treasure, Zhao Min and Qianji noticed strange white lines forming in the sky, suggesting the space was changing under the pressure from outside.

• The white-haired youth and the beautiful woman concluded that Li Yan was likely Zhao Min’s junior brother and began trying to forcibly refine the spatial treasure.
• The white-haired youth trapped the treasure inside a formation and shaped it into a white sphere, while the beautiful woman agreed to study it with him.
• The beautiful woman received an investigation of Zhang Ming’s history, considered his possible links to Zhao Min and Dongli Qing’s death, and resolved to use Soul Search after they were pulled from the treasure.
• Zhao Min sensed a tremor in the spatial treasure and feared that a White Devil Race expert had found it.
• Qianji noticed faint white lines appearing across the sky as more lines formed and the earth spiritual qi began to stir.

Li Yan recovered inside Tuban and realized two powerful Spirit Transformation cultivators were attacking the spatial treasure from outside. As they struggled to refine Tuban, a mysterious Daoist appeared at the core of the Sacred Demon Palace’s sect-protecting formation.

• The white-haired young man and the gorgeous woman combined their powers to refine Tuban, but the treasure resisted their attacks.
• Li Yan woke from cultivation, saw signs of an attack on Tuban, and warned Zhao Min, Qianji, and Zi Kun that a Spirit Transformation cultivator might be targeting them.
• Li Yan concluded that Tuban could keep the attackers out but might trap them inside indefinitely, and he prepared to destroy his Primordial Spirit rather than be captured.

• The white-haired young man and the gorgeous woman recognized Tuban as an earth-element spatial treasure and intensified their efforts to refine it.
• A Daoist slowly materialized at the core of the Sacred Demon Palace’s sect-protecting formation and emerged from his confusion.

A mysterious Daoist entered the Holy Demon Palace’s protected forest and discovered Li Yan and the others inside Tuban. After confirming Li Yan was an inheritor of the Gui Water Immortal Sect, he released the group and revealed his ties to the Five Immortal Sects, leaving Li Yan alive and Zhao Min wary of how he had arrived.

• The Daoist followed a familiar aura through the Holy Demon Palace’s formations and found Tuban in the forest.
• The Daoist sent Divine Sense into Tuban, and Li Yan sensed the intrusion and began to self-destruct as a face appeared in the sky.
• The face restrained Li Yan, Zhao Min, and the two demon beasts, then examined Li Yan and recognized the Gui Water True Scripture and the Five Immortal Sects.
• Li Yan identified himself as Dong Fuyi’s inheritor and guessed that the visitor was True Lord Qianzhong or Pei Buchong.
• After confirming Li Yan’s identity, the Daoist released the group and told Zhao Min and the demon beasts to stand aside.

Li Yan recounted his experiences to True Lord Qianzhong, who assured him that Tuban could withstand the Holy Devil Palace and promised to consider a way for him to leave the Lost Continent. Qianzhong sealed the Five Immortals Sect’s secrets against Soul Search and revealed that he had come to the continent seeking Pangu Sand, but hinted that he might be in trouble.

• True Lord Qianzhong enclosed Li Yan in an earthy-yellow barrier and asked how he had ended up on the Lost Continent and joined another sect.
• Li Yan described his encounters with Dong Fuyi and Ping Tu, his time in the Phantom Sect, and his flight from the Holy Devil Palace; Qianzhong said Tuban’s defenses could not be broken and that he might help Li Yan leave the continent.
• Qianzhong questioned Li Yan about the secret realm, Ping Tu, and foreign cultivators, then concluded that the intruders were the group Ping Tu had driven out and that Ping Tu could defeat them with the Five Elements Dao-Evil Bead.
• Qianzhong planted a restriction seal in Li Yan’s Divine Sense to protect the Five Immortals Sect’s secrets from Soul Search by cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm.
• Qianzhong told Li Yan to inform Dong Fuyi that he might need help, then explained that he had come to search for Pangu Sand, whose power could help him reach the Mahayana Realm.

True Lord Qianzhong sought information about Pangu Sand from Zhu Tian's Devil Race descendant while Saint Demon City faced destruction by Xiahou Shangxie's army. After forcing the enemy to withdraw, he obtained the information, and the city's leaders pleaded for his help strengthening their defenses, leaving him thinking about the struggles of Human Race cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Realm.

• True Lord Qianzhong met Zhu Tian's descendant in Saint Demon City and exchanged two cultivation materials for treasures before learning the man knew about Pangu Sand.
• As Xiahou Shangxie's army attacked Saint Demon City, True Lord Qianzhong offered to help in exchange for the Pangu Sand information, but Zhu Tian's descendant refused.
• When Saint Demon City faced its final battle, Zhu Tian's descendant agreed to trade the information if True Lord Qianzhong tied down a mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator.
• True Lord Qianzhong left a warning for Xiahou Shangxie, who withdrew his army before dawn, and then received the information from Zhu Tian's descendant.
• Saint Demon City's leaders asked True Lord Qianzhong to strengthen their Sect Protection Array, and he considered the hardships faced by Human Race cultivators in the Immortal Spirit Realm.

True Lord Qianzhong explained how he strengthened the Holy Devil Palace array to help human cultivators and how Pei Buchong later searched for him on the Lost Continent. Li Yan learned Pei Buchong had stolen the Black Devil Race’s Boundary-Breaking Pearl incantation, then asked why True Lord Qianzhong had not sought out Tuban sooner.

• True Lord Qianzhong helped the original Devil Race strengthen its array in exchange for a promise not to suppress or exclude human cultivators, and the array later helped drive Xiahou Shangxie away at great cost.
• True Lord Qianzhong revealed that he had left Divine Thought and marks within the array and the Zhutian descendants, hoping to protect the array and learn whether his friend found the Pangu Sand.
• Pei Buchong awakened True Lord Qianzhong’s Divine Thought, learned his master might have gone to the eastern Lost Continent, and searched the Black Devil Race’s Divine Road for clues.
• After discovering the Black Devil Race’s plan to invade the Desolate Moon Continent, Pei Buchong hid among them for seven years and stole the jade slip for refining the Boundary-Breaking Pearl from a Devil Emperor’s clone.
• Pei Buchong left a message at the Black Devil Race palace, escaped the Devil Emperor’s pursuit, and returned to Saint Demon City before departing to continue searching for True Lord Qianzhong.
• Li Yan realized Pei Buchong had been behind the false Boundary-Breaking Pearl, then asked True Lord Qianzhong why he had not searched for Tuban earlier.

Li Yan learned more about Tuban and asked True Lord Qianzhong to help him and Zhao Min escape the Lost Continent. As True Lord Qianzhong went to assist them, he appeared before the Holy Devil Palace elders who had tried to refine Tuban and demanded an explanation.

• True Lord Qianzhong explained Tuban’s protections, sealed sect-related memories in Li Yan’s mind, and gave him the sect’s location in the Immortal Spirit Realm.

After effortlessly defeating their attacks, he announced that he would take Zhao Min to the Immortal Spirit Realm and vanished, leaving the elders shaken by the gulf in their strength.

• The beautiful woman attacked True Lord Qianzhong with a silver spear, but he stopped it with one finger and sent it flying back.
• The white-haired young man dropped a black mountain on True Lord Qianzhong, who used his horsetail whisk to break his control of the treasure and turn it back toward him.

• The white-haired young man and the woman realized True Lord Qianzhong was a great power of the Human Race and learned that Zhao Min was his successor.
• True Lord Qianzhong rejected the elders’ claims on Zhao Min, said he would take her to the Immortal Spirit Realm, and vanished from the forest.
• The beautiful woman admitted that she and the white-haired young man were far weaker than they had believed.

• The Holy Devil Palace’s supreme elders realized True Lord Qianzhong’s power surpassed their understanding and summoned Shanggong Changge to question him about Zhao Min.
• The beautiful woman concluded Zhao Min had been reunited with Zhang Ming and had wanted to leave the palace, while the white-haired young man ordered that Falling Star Valley be secretly protected.
• True Lord Qianzhong returned Tuban to Li Yan, told him to meet outside the south gate, and warned him not to let Zhao Min out.
• Li Yan visited Su Yuan at Falling Star Valley’s city shop and gave him a jade slip, a bottle for Lin Xinghe, and a poison pill for his own protection.
• Su Yuan activated the teleportation formation to send the message and bottle to Lin Xinghe, not knowing Li Yan planned to leave for a while.

Li Yan traveled with True Lord Qianzhong to Heavenly Spirit Cave, where they found the ancient super interrealm teleportation formation intact. True Lord Qianzhong believed it led to the Qingqing Continent, but he still needed to test it before they could leave the Lost Continent.

• Li Yan received a complete antidote for Shuang Wuyan, while Li Yan left her choice to remain in Falling Star Valley or depart with her family up to her.
• True Lord Qianzhong took Li Yan east and warned that escaping the Lost Continent might require the Holy Devil Palace's super interrealm teleportation formation or a dangerous journey through turbulent space.
• The white-haired young man and the beautiful woman watched True Lord Qianzhong and Li Yan disappear, then discussed their concern about Zhao Min leaving the Holy Devil Palace.
• True Lord Qianzhong brought Li Yan to the seabed cave abodes discovered by Pei Buchong, where Li Yan recognized the place and spotted Dark Spirit Demon Bats watching them.
• True Lord Qianzhong guided Li Yan through Heavenly Spirit Cave's dangerous restrictions into a vast chamber containing an intact super interrealm teleportation formation.
• True Lord Qianzhong identified the formation as a Chencang Passage that likely led to the Qingqing Continent and began checking whether it worked.

Li Yan and Zhao Min learned that the hidden chamber was a supply route with an inter-realm transmission formation, and True Lord Qianzhong prepared to send them out of the Lost Continent. He produced a fire-element top-grade spirit stone to power the formation, revealing how dangerous such stones were to them.

• True Lord Qianzhong explained that the Chencang Passage had transported war supplies and that its inter-realm transmission formation could provoke a major conflict if discovered.
• True Lord Qianzhong told Li Yan to release Zhao Min and call him Senior, then went ahead to inspect the formation.
• Li Yan summoned Zhao Min and told her that True Lord Qianzhong would help them leave the Lost Continent; Zhao Min accepted his explanation despite her doubts.
• True Lord Qianzhong returned after confirming the formation still worked and explained that it needed a powerful source of energy and Nascent Soul-level protection for transmission.
• After Li Yan and Zhao Min admitted they lacked top-grade spirit stones, True Lord Qianzhong produced a fire-element stone and briefly released its power, frightening them with its destructive force.

Li Yan and True Lord Qianzhong planned to cross to the Qingqing Continent and discussed bringing the dying Dark Spirit Demon Bat clan with them. After True Lord Qianzhong entered the Heavenly Spirit Cave, the bats begged for help outside, but the cave remained silent, leaving them unsure whether their pleas could reach him.

• True Lord Qianzhong explained that he could cast a spell to protect Li Yan and Zhao Min during teleportation without escorting them himself, then noticed demon beasts outside the cave.
• Li Yan told True Lord Qianzhong that the visitors were Dark Spirit Demon Bats and relayed what he had learned about Pei Buchong’s promise to them.
• True Lord Qianzhong confirmed that the teleportation array likely led to the Qingqing Continent and agreed the bats could travel with Li Yan and Zhao Min in spirit beast pouches or his spatial treasure.
• Meng Zhiyuan and his four junior brothers and sisters argued over whether to attack Li Yan, then watched True Lord Qianzhong enter the Heavenly Spirit Cave without obstruction.
• The five Dark Spirit Demon Bats rushed to the cave, knelt, and pleaded for rescue while recounting their clan’s plight, but the cave stayed silent.

Meng Zhiyuan and four fellow Dark Spirit Demon Bats begged Zhang Ming and his companions to rescue their clan from the land of restrictions.

• Meng Zhiyuan and four clan members knelt and bled as they waited for Zhang Ming and the senior to emerge from the Heavenly Spirit Cave.
• Li Yan pretended not to understand Meng Zhiyuan’s pleas, and Meng explained that his clan needed help returning to the Azure Continent.
• True Lord Qianzhong questioned what the clan could offer, then agreed that its powerful members could assist Li Yan and Zhao Min on their trip to the Heavenly Spirit Clan.
• True Lord Qianzhong said the grand restriction array was nearing collapse and that he would stabilize it, then destroy the passage after they left, making their return to the sect a trial.
