Chapter Summaries

Qian Duoduo told Liu Yi that rising business costs and cultivation expenses had pushed him to seek new profits by reselling System Store goods in the Mystic Firmament Void Market. Liu Yi declined to join him, then learned that the Fairness System now covered the entire Azure Billows Realm and realized that widespread cultivation could make even Immortal Kings ordinary in the future.

• Qian Duoduo explained that he planned to open Duoduo Department Store in the Mystic Firmament Void Market and resell System Store goods for Energy Points.
• Liu Yi declined the partnership and warned Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow not to provoke powerful experts at the market.
• Liu Yi asked Little Yellow to prepare a meal, then browsed TikTok and found reports that the Fairness System covered all eight continents of the Azure Billows Realm.
• The system intelligence confirmed that the Fairness System had just spread throughout the entire realm.
• Liu Yi read comments predicting that Immortal Kings could eventually become ordinary figures and deduced that widespread cultivation had already made common cultivation realms equivalent to mortal status.

Liu Yi watched cultivators react to the Fairness System’s new update and reflected on how its Life Simulator helped them appreciate the present. He shared his abundant Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves with Qian Duoduo, Little Yellow, his family, and the wider world.

• Liu Yi watched a video about Fairness System Version 16.0, which nearly doubled daily Energy Points and introduced the Life Simulator.
• Liu Yi read comments from system hosts describing how the simulator exposed them to the hardships of life before the Fairness System and helped them value the present.
• Little Yellow served Liu Yi and Qian Duoduo a meal, and Liu Yi praised his cooking.
• Qian Duoduo asked Liu Yi for Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, and Liu Yi gave him a caddy of three thousand leaves before giving another caddy to Little Yellow.
• Liu Yi sent tea caddies to Bai Qianqian, Su Yuxuan, Liu Qian, and Liu Hai for the Liu Household, then put half of his remaining stock in the System Store and scattered the rest throughout the Xuanyi World.

Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow explored the Mystic Firmament Void Market and deduced that the mysterious Immortal Emperor who had won an incomplete Ruler-level Cultivation Method was Liu Yi. Liu Yi confirmed that he had become a Martial Emperor, leaving Qian Duoduo stunned and excited by his brother’s power.

• Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow toured the market and decided to keep a low profile rather than challenge the Heaven-reaching Tower.
• Nearby cultivators described a cloaked Immortal Emperor who had traded rare treasures and Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves for an incomplete Ruler-level Cultivation Method.
• Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow matched the story’s clues to Liu Yi and messaged him to ask whether he had been the mysterious bidder.
• Liu Yi confirmed that he had broken through to Martial Emperor while in seclusion.
• Qian Duoduo marveled at Liu Yi’s rapid breakthrough and thought that having an Immortal Emperor for a brother meant he could go wherever he pleased.

Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow kept Liu Yi’s breakthrough to Martial Emperor secret while selling goods at the Mystic Firmament Void Market. After planting World Trees throughout his worlds, Liu Yi drew the attention of the Heavenly Dao of the Mysterious Firmament Realm, which empowered the tree in the Xuanyi World and seemed to place its hopes on him.

• Liu Yi told Qian Duoduo not to spread news of his breakthrough, and Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow agreed to keep it secret.
• Qian Duoduo and Little Yellow priced their System Store goods below comparable market wares and drew a crowd of eager buyers to their stall.
• Liu Yi used World Tree branches and World Origin to plant trees in his internal worlds and Portable Daoist Sanctum, then planted one in the Xuanyi World.
• The Heavenly Dao of the Mysterious Firmament Realm appeared and bestowed World Origin on the Xuanyi World’s World Tree, which grew to a million zhang.
• Liu Yi sensed the Heavenly Dao’s approval and expectations, resolved to prioritize reaching the Ruler Realm, and placed restrictions around the World Tree to protect it.

Liu Yi created a War Behemoth designed to hunt Devil Beasts and members of the Devil Race, using cloning to ensure it could reproduce quickly while remaining under his control. After testing its combat ability and feeding it Devil Beasts, he watched it grow to twenty meters tall and produce its first clone.

• Liu Yi planned to create War Behemoths that could counter the Devil Beasts’ rapid breeding, with reproduction restricted to devouring Devil Beasts and members of the Devil Race and absolute obedience built into their nature.
• Liu Yi used the Creation of All Things Divine Ability in the Xuanyi World to create a two-meter-tall War Behemoth with cultivation at the Early Nascent Soul Realm.
• The War Behemoth demonstrated its claws, tail, venomous spines, and energy attack before Liu Yi took it to fight a Nascent Soul Realm Devil Beast.
• The War Behemoth killed and devoured the Devil Beast, healed its wounds, grew to three meters, and advanced to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Liu Yi continued taking the War Behemoth to hunt Devil Beasts, and it grew to twenty meters tall and reached the Void Return Realm.
• A two-meter-tall newborn War Behemoth separated from the original and roared upon landing.

Liu Yi perfected his rapidly multiplying War Behemoths and sealed them away for the coming war, then began cultivating in seclusion to reach the Ruler Realm. Wang Qiang broke through to the Void Return Realm but remained absent from the Combat Power Ranking, and he struggled to cultivate other systems alongside the Immortal Cultivation System.

• Liu Yi watched the War Behemoths multiply into an army of two million and slaughter more than two million Devil Beasts, producing five True Immortal Realm War Behemoths.
• Liu Yi sealed the War Behemoths inside an independent space in the Xuanyi World and entered the Heavenly Dao Space to condense Dao Source and refine the Ruler Realm Cultivation Method.
• Wang Qiang broke through to the Void Return Realm at the Cloud Heaven Sect's encampment, then reflected on his failure to reach the Combat Power Ranking.
• Wang Qiang concluded that Great Dao Body martial cultivators had an overwhelming advantage below the True Immortal Realm and that he could not leave the Cloud Heaven Sect to change systems without being exposed.
• Wang Qiang challenged the Trial Tower but still did not appear on the Void Return Realm Combat Power Ranking.
• Wang Qiang opened the All Heavens Chat Group and told the other cultivators that he had reached the Void Return Realm.

Wang Qiang told the All Heavens Chat Group that he had advanced quickly by cultivating in the Land of Exile, then described how fierce the Azure Billows Realm's Combat Power Ranking was. After he revealed he planned to cultivate a second system to improve his chances, Ji Haoyue asked whether that ranking was harder to reach than competing on the Emperor's Path.

• Wang Qiang said he had cultivated in the Land of Exile and expected to undergo Tribulation Transcendence soon, while the others discussed the high cross-realm teleportation fees.
• Wang Qiang explained that the Azure Billows Realm's Combat Power Ranking was packed with formidable competitors and that even Zhong Yue and Fengyun Wuji might not qualify.
• Chen Yan, Fengyun Wuji, and Zhong Yue comforted Wang Qiang, who said he had grown used to setbacks and intended to cultivate a second system alongside the Immortal Cultivation System.
• Chen Yan and Fengyun Wuji warned Wang Qiang that cultivating two systems could cause Qi Deviation, but he cited the Fairness System's Second Life and Life Creation functions as safeguards.
• Ji Haoyue asked whether making the Azure Billows Realm's Combat Power Ranking was harder than competing on the Emperor's Path, where only one Great Emperor could emerge each era.

Wang Qiang explained to Ji Haoyue that competition for the Azure Billows Realm’s Combat Power Ranking far surpassed the Emperor’s Path, leaving Ji Haoyue humbled by how little he understood the realm. The group then arranged to use Wang Qiang’s System Store purchases and red packets to avoid cross-realm fees, and Ji Haoyue invited them to watch his upcoming fight with Ye Fan.

• Wang Qiang compared the Emperor’s Path with the Azure Billows Realm’s ranking competition, explaining that hundreds of millions of cultivators with powerful Great Dao Bodies competed for only three thousand places per realm.
• Chen Yan, Fengyun Wuji, Zhang Sanfeng, and Lin Jiu discussed the Fairness System’s effects and whether competition in their own worlds might become as intense as in the Azure Billows Realm.
• Ji Haoyue admitted that his view of the Azure Billows Realm had been narrow and explained that fear of restricted-area supreme beings, Emperor Zun, and the Immortal Heavenly Emperor kept him from spreading the Fairness System.
• Wang Qiang proposed buying System Store goods for the other group members and forwarding them through red packets to reduce cross-realm teleportation fees.
• Chen Yan, Lin Jiu, and the other group members requested fruits, rice seeds, and seedlings from Wang Qiang.
• Ji Haoyue said he had arranged to spar with Ye Fan and asked the group whether they wanted to watch.

Ji Haoyue challenged Ye Fan to a sparring match to test their strength, while members of the All Heavens Chat Group watched through a video call. Ji Haoyue gained the upper hand in their physical clash, but Ye Fan intensified his attack, leaving the fight undecided.

• Ji Haoyue told Wang Qiang and Chen Yan he wanted to temper Ye Fan, then opened a video call so the group could watch their match.
• Wang Qiang, Chen Yan, Zhong Yue, and the others observed Ye Fan and discussed his formidable presence as Pang Bo, Li Heishui, and the Black Emperor warned him to be careful.
• Ji Ziyue asked Ji Haoyue to go easy on Ye Fan, and Ji Haoyue began the spar by striking with a Great Void Hand Seal.
• Ye Fan shattered the Great Void Hand Seal with a punch, and Ji Haoyue met him fist to fist, holding a slight advantage with his physical strength.
• Ye Fan used the Secret of the Character Xing and gathered the power of his five secret realms into another attack against Ji Haoyue.

Ji Haoyue struggled to enter Divine Forbidden as Ye Fan fought him on even terms, but eventually succeeded and gained the upper hand. Ye Fan was wounded and forced to endure Ji Haoyue’s attacks while hoping the state would fade.

• Ji Haoyue tried repeatedly to enter Divine Forbidden as Ye Fan’s strength and momentum grew during their battle.
• Wang Qiang, Fengyun Wuji, and Zhong Yue discussed the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body’s strength, while Pang Bo and Li Heishui cheered Ye Fan on.
• The Black Emperor made provocative remarks about Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, prompting Ji Ziyue to warn him and the chat group to speculate about Great Emperor Wushi’s temperament.
• Ji Haoyue finally entered Divine Forbidden, saw through Ye Fan’s moves, and struck him hard enough to send him flying with a wound on his fist.
• Ye Fan resolved to hold out until Ji Haoyue left Divine Forbidden, while the Black Emperor, Li Heishui, and Pang Bo warned him and Ji Ziyue pleaded with her brother to go easy.

Ji Haoyue defeated Ye Fan after entering the Divine Forbidden, then left in a huff when Ji Ziyue rushed to comfort Ye Fan. The All Heavens Chat Group discussed the strange state of Ji Haoyue’s world, and Wang Qiang concluded that its Heavenly Dao had perished, likely slain by the Ruler Above the Sacrificial Dao.

• Ji Haoyue intensified his attacks and defeated Ye Fan, who questioned whether Ji Haoyue had used a cheat before conceding the match.
• Ji Haoyue fell out of the Divine Forbidden, while the Black Emperor, Pang Bo, and Li Heishui marveled at his strength.
• Ji Ziyue helped Ye Fan and scolded Ji Haoyue for hitting him too hard, prompting Ji Haoyue to leave angrily.
• Wang Qiang teased Ji Haoyue about winning the fight but losing his sister, and Ji Haoyue insisted he had helped bring Ji Ziyue and Ye Fan together.
• Fengyun Wuji and Zhong Yue discussed the Divine Forbidden and the incompleteness of Ji Haoyue’s world.
• Wang Qiang reasoned that the world’s Heavenly Dao had perished, probably after the Ruler Above the Sacrificial Dao killed it, and that its curse may have contributed to the Ruler’s later illness.

Wang Qiang explained that a Ruler’s ashes had given rise to The Strange Clan, and the chat group recoiled from the danger of his Mysterious Firmament Realm. Although Wang Qiang tried to reassure them that Rulers would not notice them, the others decided to avoid his world and stay in their own for now.

• Wang Qiang reasoned that a Ruler had fallen ill, burned himself to ashes, and thereby created The Strange Clan.
• Chen Yan, Zhang Sanfeng, Zhong Yue, Ji Haoyue, and Fengyun Wuji reacted with alarm to the power of Rulers and the dangers of the Mysterious Firmament Realm.
• Wang Qiang feared a Ruler might already have noticed him, then reassured himself that ordinary cultivators would not attract a Ruler’s attention.
• Wang Qiang argued that the Fairness System and All Heavens Chat Group could conceal them, but Chen Yan and the others still refused to risk visiting his world.
• Zhang Sanfeng, Ji Haoyue, Zhong Yue, and Fengyun Wuji favored remaining in their own worlds, while Chen Yan said she wanted to protect the promising life she had built.

Chen Yan reflected on how the Fairness System had transformed Xia Country, suppressing the Strange and reshaping society around cultivation. She watched foreigners clamor online for access to the system, then shut down her computer and prepared to cultivate in the Portable Daoist Sanctum.

• Chen Yan recalled secretly giving Law Treasures and Cultivation Methods to trustworthy Xia Country officials, helping them control the Strange.
• Chen Yan spread the Fairness System, and Xia Country suppressed the Strange and entered an era of cultivation for all.
• The Fairness System changed society in Xia Country, with Energy Points replacing ordinary currency and many people returning to the countryside.
• Foreigners protested online that Xia Country should share the Fairness System, while Xia Country netizens rejected their demands.
• Chen Yan dismissed the online arguments, shut down her computer, and prepared to enter the Portable Daoist Sanctum for secluded cultivation.

Zhang Wei and the Hua Country faction opened a shop in the Wuji Demon Sect selling technology-enhanced cultivation devices, pills, and Law Treasures, drawing a crowd of eager buyers. With the business underway, Zhang Wei, Liu Jianguo, and Ma Qinglin returned to Earth, where Wang Yang welcomed them and invited Zhang Wei to see how Hua Country had changed.

• Zhang Wei inspected the new purification devices, mass-produced pills, and Law Treasures with Liu Jianguo and Ma Qinglin, then warned them to develop carefully before opening the shop.
• More than three hundred Wuji Demon Sect disciples rushed into the shop to buy its goods, and Zhang Wei was reassured by the strong start.
• Zhang Wei invited Liu Jianguo and Ma Qinglin to return to Earth with him, and the three traveled through the Gate of Transmigration.
• Wang Yang welcomed Liu Jianguo and Ma Qinglin, thanked them for their service, and granted them a month of leave to visit their families.
• Wang Yang offered to show Zhang Wei how Hua Country had changed, and Zhang Wei agreed to go look around.

Zhang Wei rode an anti-gravity aircraft with Wang Yang and learned how Hua Country’s technology had transformed daily life, the countryside, and the economy. As they flew toward Jiang City, Wang Yang credited Zhang Wei’s cultivation manuals for helping drive the country’s advances.

• Zhang Wei boarded Wang Yang’s anti-gravity aircraft and learned that the technology combined modern engineering with artifact-refining techniques.
• Zhang Wei and Wang Yang discussed selling goods in the Heavenly Desolation Realm, where their limited strength made expensive aircraft too risky to trade.
• Wang Yang directed the aircraft to fly to Jiang City and activate its live exterior projection.
• Zhang Wei saw that anti-gravity aircraft had filled the skies and that young people had returned to the countryside, changing where and how people lived.
• Wang Yang explained that Hua Currency was backed by gold and that space mining, lunar and Martian bases, and spaceships had helped transform Hua Country.
• Wang Yang told Zhang Wei that the cultivation manuals he had brought back had contributed to Hua Country’s technological progress.

Zhang Wei learned how Hua Country had used knowledge from the Heavenly Desolation Realm to transform its infrastructure, population, and technology. After hearing about the Nine Provinces Barrier and the Virtual World, he asked whether cultivators in the Heavenly Desolation Realm would like Virtual Machines, and Wang Yang arranged to have one delivered.

• Wang Yang told Zhang Wei that Hua Country had surpassed two billion people, improved public health and food supplies, and developed the Life Essence using knowledge from the Heavenly Desolation Realm.
• Wang Yang explained that Heavenly Star Grass had helped turn the northwest deserts into grasslands and that new grain varieties had increased harvests.
• Zhang Wei noticed the Nine Provinces Barrier, and Wang Yang explained that formations and nuclear fusion facilities powered it to protect Hua Country and prevent illegal entry.
• Zhang Wei and Wang Yang discussed the barrier's limits, the harsh conditions facing space workers, and the possibility of other cultivation civilizations in the universe.
• Wang Yang described Virtual Machines that let people enter the Virtual World through soul fluctuations, and Zhang Wei marveled at how cultivation had advanced technology.
• Wang Yang arranged for someone to deliver a Virtual Machine and asked whether cultivators in the Heavenly Desolation Realm would like it.

Zhang Wei returned to Jiang City, visited his preserved childhood home, and tried the Virtual Machine Wang Yang gave him. He watched a video of Mars Base One and explored the virtual network, where he saw how much Huaxia had changed; he left still browsing news of the country’s rapid development.

• Zhang Wei told Wang Yang that introducing Virtual Machines to the Heavenly Desolation Realm would be too costly and dangerous until they had the strength to protect the business.
• Zhang Wei and Wang Yang arrived in Jiang City, where Zhang Wei saw its futuristic buildings and antigravity aircraft before visiting his unchanged apartment.
• Zhang Wei thanked Wang Yang for maintaining the apartment and wondered whether he could someday revive his deceased parents.
• Wang Yang gave Zhang Wei a soul-bound Virtual Machine, and Zhang Wei logged in and explored its realistic virtual beach.
• Zhang Wei watched a video tour of Mars Base One and read comments about Hua Country’s space industry, prosperity, and technological advances.
• Zhang Wei continued browsing virtual videos and examined the changes taking place across Huaxia.

Zhang Wei agreed that Hua Country should establish a secret research and cultivation base in the Heavenly Desolation Realm. Meanwhile, Spiritual Qi Revival began in the Azure Billows Realm, giving the returning Hundred Races of High Antiquity a chance to challenge the Human Race’s dominance.

• Zhang Wei and Wang Yang discussed growing solar-powered Spirit Plants and establishing a secret base in the Heavenly Desolation Realm, and Zhang Wei approved the plan.
• The Azure Billows Realm underwent a massive upheaval as its territory expanded, Spiritual Qi surged, and plants and beasts rapidly transformed.
• The Human Race recognized the upheaval as Spiritual Qi Revival and prepared to cultivate, while some warned that the Hundred Races of High Antiquity would return.
• The dormant Hundred Races of High Antiquity emerged from hidden realms and declared their ambitions to defeat the Human Race and claim the position of heaven and earth’s protagonist.

Immortal King Zhanhan, Immortal King Suming, Immortal King Taihao, and the Sword Devil King prepared to emerge as Spiritual Qi Revival weakened the ancient seals, while learning that the devils imprisoned beneath the Azure Billows Realm could pose a greater danger than the Hundred Races. Beneath the Azure Firmament Continent, the Blood God attacked his regenerating seal and taunted Immortal King Xuanchen about the suspected reincarnation who had vanished into a spatial rift.

• Immortal King Zhanhan, Immortal King Suming, Immortal King Taihao, and the Sword Devil King awoke from secluded cultivation and discussed returning to the world as the sealing formation loosened.
• Immortal King Suming warned that the Human Race’s Immortal Kings had left the Azure Billows Realm, but said its people had grown stronger and that the Hundred Races’ threat remained uncertain.
• Immortal King Suming revealed that Devil Kings, Devil Lords, and possibly Demon Emperors were sealed beneath the weakening formation, prompting the revived cultivators to vow they would fight if the devils emerged.
• The Blood God sensed the seal weakening and struck it with waves of blood and a powerful blade, shattering more than a hundred layers before the restrictions regenerated.
• Immortal King Xuanchen reinforced the seal and blocked the Blood God, who threatened to escape and claimed the suspected reincarnation of the one who sealed him had been lost in a spatial rift.

Immortal King Xuanchen used the Heaven-Sealing Forbidden Land Grand Formation to keep the Blood God suppressed as the Azure Billows Realm underwent an unexpectedly early Spiritual Qi Revival. Su Yuxuan concluded that the systems had accelerated the revival and expected the Human Race to prevail over the Hundred Races of High Antiquity, while system hosts debated the changes and whether they could safely return.

• Immortal King Xuanchen unleashed the demon-suppressing diagram, which shattered the Blood God's attack and drove him into the blood sea, where the two continued to clash.
• Su Yuxuan saw the Spiritual Qi Revival trending and realized it had arrived more than a century early because the Fairness System and Dao Seed Martial Dao System had strengthened the realm.
• Su Yuxuan recalled the disasters of her previous life and judged that the Human Race's vast numbers of cultivators and Immortal Kings could defeat the Hundred Races of High Antiquity.
• Su Yuxuan watched a video showing the realm's transformation and read comments about the manifested Great Daos, newly awakened Demon Beasts, and the risks of returning through the sealing restriction.
• System hosts debated the High Antiquity Covenant's end and resolved to unite against the Hundred Races of High Antiquity if they threatened the Human Race.
