Chapter Summaries

Wang An and Lu Tianxin rented a workshop in Sky-Pillaring City and built a cheap, movable spirit building designed as a simplified portable grotto-heaven. After the first bamboo courtyard was completed, they tested its cultivation environment.

• Wang An planned a movable spirit building with levitation, a cultivation-supporting array, protective runes, and low-cost materials.
• Lu Tianxin found a shop and workshop, and an immortal official arranged three years without rent or taxes through Divine General Zhenhua.
• The immortal official warned Wang An and Lu Tianxin that the rival Spirit Source Residence Workshop had undercut the previous tenant and poached its chief artifact refiner.
• Wang An released ten puppets and used them to establish an artifact-refining team while Lu Tianxin managed the shop front.
• Ten days later, Wang An and Lu Tianxin entered the completed bamboo courtyard, which cost about eight thousand supreme-grade spirit stones to sell and supported stable spiritual energy for two cultivators.

Wang An opened the Cloud Radiance Heavenly Craft Workshop and demonstrated the Evil-Warding Spirit Bamboo Courtyard to tribal leaders, who placed orders for the mobile shelter. Lu Tianxin then introduced palace-type Dharma artifacts and treasures still being designed, and a chief asked to reserve one.

• Wang An told Lu Tianxin to arrange the workshop opening, invite small tribe chiefs, and expand production of the Evil-Warding Spirit Bamboo Courtyard.
• Lu Tianxin reported that more than fifty guests had said they would attend the opening on the third day.
• Lu Tianxin led the visiting tribe chiefs through a demonstration of the courtyard, and more than a dozen chiefs placed orders and paid deposits.
• Four chiefs of medium-sized human tribes asked Lu Tianxin about the palace-type spirit structure Wang An was designing, and she explained the planned mid-grade level-two artifact and mid-grade level-three treasure.
• A burly chief asked when Great Perfected Heavenly River could refine a palace-type Dharma artifact and offered to pay a deposit to secure one.

After the Cloud Radiance Heavenly Craft Workshop’s opening brought in many orders, Wang An explained the market opportunity and the risks of competition to Lu Tianxin. He expanded the workshop to meet demand and continued developing his palace artifact and Rooftop Earth laws.

• Leishan and three other tribal leaders praised Wang An’s craftsmanship, placed orders, and agreed to recommend the Evil-Warding Spirit Bamboo Courtyard to their tribes.
• Lu Tianxin reported twenty-eight courtyard orders and four advance orders for Wang An’s second-generation palace artifact.
• Wang An explained that the workshop had found an underserved market among small tribes, but warned that competitors might imitate them or try to squeeze them out.
• Wang An told Lu Tianxin that an ambush was unlikely while the True Lord of Earth Virtue was present, though rivals might compete through local advantages.
• Wang An asked Lu Tianxin to acquire two neighboring workshop spaces and build more production lines.
• After Lu Tianxin left, Wang An continued refining the palace artifact and cultivating the laws connected to Rooftop Earth.

Wang An and Lu Tianxin unveiled the Cloud Radiance Divine Hall, winning eleven additional orders after demonstrating its many abilities, including condensing spirit materials and expanding its interior. With sales of the Evil-Warding Spirit Bamboo Courtyard advancing his Dao Foundation’s Dharma Nature to Calamity-Averting Nature, Wang An began planning a personal mid-tier, third-grade Heavenly Palace dharma treasure.

• Lu Tianxin prepared four Cloud Radiance Divine Halls for delivery as Wang An discussed the prospects for further orders.
• Lu Tianxin demonstrated the halls’ functions to tribal chiefs and shopkeepers, explaining that they could condense spirit materials over time and held three times more space inside than their exterior suggested.
• The exhibition brought eleven new Cloud Radiance Divine Hall orders, while Wang An’s sales advanced the laws in Jade Earth Heavenly Palace and completed the initial Dharma Nature of Rooftop Earth as Calamity-Averting Nature.
• Wang An left Lu Tianxin in charge of the workshop and began designing a mid-tier, third-grade Heavenly Palace dharma treasure for his own Divine Ability and future travels.

The Cloud Radiance Heavenly Craft Workshop’s spiritual constructions attracted buyers and drew other factions’ attention, while Wang An’s growing orders brought him closer to his resource goals. The chapter ended with Wang An deciding to visit the Geng Metal Western Continent to find suitable metal-element materials.

• The Earth Wood Sect master persuaded its elders to copy and sell the Evil-Warding Spirit Bamboo Courtyards and Cloud Radiance Divine Halls, while the Jia Wood Immortal Sect held back because Wang An had powerful protection.
• Lu Tianxin reported that the workshop had delivered forty-eight Spirit Bamboo Courtyards and two Cloud Radiance Divine Halls, with new orders booked seven or eight years ahead.
• Wang An offered to craft Lu Tianxin a dao-protecting artifact and asked about the metal-element spiritual metals she had been seeking.
• Lu Tianxin showed Wang An a bluish-green sword whetstone and a broken sword, then explained that the Azure Splendor Eastern Continent relied mostly on spiritual wood and rarely used metal to craft weapons.
• After hearing that the region lacked suitable metal weapons and materials, Wang An decided they would visit the Geng Metal Western Continent after finishing their business.

Wang An prepared to leave the Azure Splendor Eastern Continent and seek Sword Edge Metal in the Geng Metal Western Continent, while completing a purple-gold Heavenly Palace magic treasure. After the Yellow Heaven Lineage took over his workshop, Wang An and Lu Tianxin prepared to depart, and the Heavenly Palace rose from the workshop.

• Wang An told Lu Tianxin to investigate routes and powers in the Geng Metal Western Continent while continuing to seek metal-element spiritual objects.
• Wang An completed the final adjustments to a purple-gold Heavenly Palace as Lu Tianxin reported that rival shops had begun selling copies of their Evil-Warding Spirit Bamboo Courtyards.
• Wang An told Lu Tianxin to arrange the workshop's affairs with the Yellow Heaven Lineage and return his Yin Spirit thought to his main body before he traveled to cultivate Sword Edge Metal.
• Diyou promised to handle the competing shops, and Wang An explained that the Thunder Office divine treasure they had acquired was a valuable bargain.
• Diyou revealed that the Earth Wood Sect had secretly copied their business and announced that the Yellow Heaven Lineage had wiped it out.
• Wang An told Lu Tianxin to transfer their customers to Diyou over the next half year, and the purple-gold Heavenly Palace rose from the workshop.

Wang An used the Divine Firmament Cloud Radiance Condensing Heaven Palace to complete the Rooftop Earth Golden Nature, establishing the Dao [Primordial Qi Condenses the Heavens, Jade Earth Transforms Calamity Nature]. The ritual drew the attention of powerful beings across both worlds, and Wang An sensed their scrutiny as the chapter ended.

• Wang An activated the Divine Firmament Cloud Radiance Condensing Heaven Palace, gathering Rooftop Earth imagery from buildings across the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm and the Solar Star Sector.
• The imagery converged into the Heavenly Palace, where Wang An's Golden Nature sprouted and revealed the Dao [Primordial Qi Condenses the Heavens, Jade Earth Transforms Calamity Nature].
• The new Dao empowered extraordinary buildings formed through the Primordial Qi System with abilities including concealment, protection, dimensional separation, and resistance to calamities.
• Azure Dragon, the True Lord of Earth Virtue, and another high-tier being discussed whether Wang An might join their heavenly realm, while the Thunder Office and Dark Land also watched.
• Lu Tianxin observed Wang An's achievement, and Wang An sensed the high-tier beings and hidden watchers observing him.

Wang An fled Qin Heaven Divine City with Lu Tianxing after sensing that powerful factions were watching him, then headed toward Geng Metal Western Heaven. At the Gray Mist Dark Caverns, Thunder Office divine generals intercepted him and demanded the Thunder Office artifact he had obtained, prompting him to clash with them using Lightning Light.

• Wang An hid the Heavenly Palace in the Great Void, then returned to the Cloud Radiance Heavenly Craft Workshop and took Lu Tianxing with him.
• Wang An sent Immortal Official Diyou a farewell message and left Qin Heaven Divine City, explaining that returning Lu Tianxing with the Silver Human Race member was no longer safe.
• Wang An traveled toward Geng Metal Western Heaven, using the Great Void only to evade pursuit rather than for long-distance travel.
• At the Gray Mist Dark Caverns, shadow creatures swarmed the Heavenly Palace as a thunder boat and its divine generals arrived.
• A divine general demanded that Wang An surrender the Thunder Office's divine artifact, and Wang An answered with the Heavenly Gleam artifact's Lightning Light attack.
• Wang An warned the divine general that only an order from a Thunder Office great personage would make him hand over the artifact, causing the other divine generals to question their leader and reduce their support.

Wang An defeated the Luminous Divine General with the [Heavenly Gleam] and stripped him of his possessions, while the [Rumbling Thunder] divine artifact escaped. As Wang An departed, the Thunder Office took the disgraced general into custody, and the pterosaurs and ghost pirates schemed to ambush Wang An after he returned to the Heavenly Stars Shallow Macrocosm.

• The Luminous Divine General struck the sonic thunder divine artifact four times, but Wang An countered with the [Supreme Yin Divine Moon], the [Six Laws Heavenly River], and the [Heavenly Gleam], destroying the thunder boat and leaving the general gravely wounded.
• Wang An returned to the damaged Ningchen Heavenly Palace to the battlefield, but the [Rumbling Thunder] divine artifact escaped into the Great Void before he could seize it.
• Wang An sealed the Luminous Divine General's soul, searched his three great mystic realms, took his treasures, and departed with the Heavenly Palace.
• The other divine generals decided to take the Luminous Divine General back to the Thunder Office under guard and began plotting to punish him.
• The Illusory God Pterosaur and the ghost pirates planned to ambush Wang An in the Heavenly Stars Shallow Macrocosm, where they expected his high-tier artifact's power to fade.

Wang An and Lu Tianxin traveled in the Heavenly Palace to the Fallen Star Sea and crossed from the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm into the Heavenly Stars Shallow Macrocosm. They emerged near the eighteen galaxies surrounding the gateway, where the high-tier human races and the Human Federation maintained outposts.

• Wang An reassured Lu Tianxin that the True Lord of Earth Virtue would deter high-tier interference and explained why the shallow macrocosm’s diluted laws made cultivation slower than in Clear Sea Deep Space.
• Wang An and Lu Tianxin reached the end of the Fallen Star Sea in the Heavenly Palace after more than a month of travel.
• Exploration teams watched as the purple-and-gold Heavenly Palace crossed the world's crystalline wall and entered the starry sky of the Heavenly Stars Shallow Macrocosm.
• Wang An and Lu Tianxin confirmed that the Heavenly Palace had withstood the change in laws and saw the eighteen galaxies surrounding the gateway, including the four major galaxies occupied by the Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Terra Humans.

Wang An’s Purple Gold Heavenly Palace was trapped in a Dreamlike Labyrinth Realm by the Illusory God Pterosaur and its allies, who launched an ambush tailored to his abilities. As the Heavenly River fought to reach him and nearby forces joined the wider battle, Wang An endured a supernova explosion using his powerful laws.

• Lu Tianxin learned that eighteen planetary-system defense lines had been established around the passage from the Fallen Star Sea, and the Purple Gold Heavenly Palace set course for Explorer Planet.
• The Illusory God Pterosaur trapped the Purple Gold Heavenly Palace in the Dreamlike Labyrinth Realm, where it and three pirate ghosts attacked with illusory disasters and super star beasts.
• Wang An used the Forbidden Law Domain to expel the realm’s bewildering effects, while Lu Tianxin sent the Heavenly River to help; enemy warships intercepted it outside the planetary system.
• Wang An’s blue-black flying sword shredded the purple-black pterosaur, but it quickly reassembled, and the sword passed harmlessly through the pirate ghosts.
• The Illusory God Pterosaur turned the illusion into reality with a black hole’s gravity, then unleashed a supernova explosion against Wang An and the Purple Gold Heavenly Palace.
• Five Humanoid Alliance warships joined the battle around the Heavenly River as Wang An used Conceal Light and Absorb Qi and Disperse Rain and Avoid Lightning to withstand the explosion.

Wang An overwhelmed the Illusory God Pterosaur’s forces with his Golden Nature treasures, but the Illusory God Pterosaur secretly attacked with a broken sword tip. The sword shattered Wang An’s [Rooftop Earth] Golden Nature and sent its baleful weapon aura into his true spirit.

• The purple-black pterosaur’s dragon breath was reversed by Wang An’s Supreme Yin Divine Moon Ring, leaving the pterosaur badly corroded.
• Wang An raised the [Sky-Patrolling Moon-Gazing Darkness-Piercing Supreme Yin Bright Lamp], burning the pirate ghosts with Supreme Yin fire and drowning the purple-black pterosaur in Yellow Springs Rainfall.
• Wang An summoned the [Six Laws Heavenly River], which filled the Dreamlike Labyrinth Realm and began cracking it under its immense mass.
• The Illusory God Pterosaur decided to use a broken golden sword tip from the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm to sever Wang An’s law profundity.
• The Illusory God Pterosaur launched the sword tip from outside the realm, and it pierced the Heavenly Palace and shattered Wang An’s [Rooftop Earth] Golden Nature.
• The sword’s baleful weapon aura flooded Wang An and began corroding his true spirit space.

Wang An survived the Illusory God Pterosaur’s attack with the help of the Light-Riding Ritual Master, then defeated the remaining enemies and returned to cultivation. His true self discovered that the sword strike had damaged the Rooftop Earth Golden Nature’s projection, drawing the attention of the True Lord of Earth Virtue.

• The Light-Riding Ritual Master seized and sealed the numinous treasure’s sword tip, restored Wang An’s Avatar, and took a wisp of the Supreme Yin Bright Lamp as payment.
• Wang An slew the Illusory God Pterosaur and its four remaining companions, collected their spoils, and claimed their Dreamlike Labyrinth Realm treasure.
• Wang An flew to the ongoing battle, disabled two triangular warships, and used the Six Laws Heavenly River to drag a ghost ship into the Netherworld Domain.
• Wang An thanked the humanoid allies, returned to the orbital starport, arranged for them to study the Quetzalcoatlus Clan’s warship technology, and entered secluded cultivation.
• Wang An’s true self found that the sword strike had damaged the Rooftop Earth Golden Nature’s projection and weakened its power to shelter spiritual buildings.
• The True Lord of Earth Virtue noticed the sudden imagery of metal cleaving earth and began calculating its cause.

Wang An countered the metal weapon’s influence with Heavenly Fire and Heavenly River Water, but learned that fully resolving the crisis would require condensing the Golden Nature of Sword Edge Metal. Since the Geng Metal Western Continent was too dangerous, he chose to investigate the Divine True Realm as a possible place to cultivate it.

• The True Lord of Earth Virtue traced the weapon tribulation to a scheme involving the Geng Metal Sword Master and suspected it was aimed at him.
• Wang An used Supreme Yin fire to burn the metal weapon from within and Heavenly River Water to drain and rust it, easing the threat to the spirit structures.
• Wang An concluded that the crisis would persist until he formed the Heavenly Palace or condensed the Golden Nature of Sword Edge Metal, and ruled out traveling to the hostile Geng Metal Western Continent.
• Wang An reviewed Lu Tianxin’s information about the open realms and identified the Divine True Realm as the best available place to cultivate Sword Edge Metal.
• Wang An asked Lu Tianxin to find people who had visited the Divine True Realm, and she began seeking intelligence through her contacts and bounties.

• Lu Tianxin told Wang An that a humanoid exploration squad had returned from the Divine True Realm, and Wang An decided to meet them.
• Wang An traveled aboard the Heavenly River to Ophiuchus, where he met Fogem's Squad at the spaceport administration hall.
• Fogem described the Divine True Realm's transcendent ranks, from mortal professions through the initial and mid tiers to the great ones, sovereigns, and creators.
• A high elf in Fogem's Squad explained that a complete true god's power comprised divinity, divine spark, divine office, divine flame, divine power, and divine body.
• Fogem's Squad said that, aside from realms opened by the great ones, the Divine True Realm's other worlds were ruled by true gods of varying strength.

Wang An learned about the Sole True Realm’s dangers and prepared to enter the Divine True Realm while sending Dreamlike Labyrinth Realm back to the Solar System. After arriving, he met Jiuli Bingjian to ask about conditions in the Sole True Realm and seek a way to resolve his golden sword tribulation.

• Fogem described the Sole True Realm’s energy-rich regions, divine wars, and forbidden grounds where powerful beings lay dormant.
• Chen Tianping asked Wang An to take him to the Divine True Realm, but Wang An said he needed to grow stronger before venturing out.
• Wang An returned to the Solar System and transported Dreamlike Labyrinth Realm to create a trial space for Human Federation cultivators.
• Wang An’s Avatar traveled to the Divine True Realm and met Jiuli Bingjian, who had recently advanced to mid-tier level three.
• Wang An told Jiuli Bingjian that he had suffered the golden sword tribulation and asked about the Sole True Realm; Jiuli Bingjian offered to explain after fighting there for some time.

After Jiuli Bingjian explained the Sole True Realm’s divine courts and the dangers of meeting true gods who cultivated the same laws, Wang An entered the Storm Sea. He survived an ambush, exposed the attackers, and killed three of them in the opening battle.

• Jiuli Bingjian told Wang An that the Sole True Realm had eleven top-tier divine courts and warned him that true gods on the same cultivation path fought until one side was wiped out.
• Jiuli Bingjian explained how true gods’ remains could yield law resources and divine artifacts, then showed Wang An his Rust Dragon Eroding Halberd and warned him about storm- and lightning-type true gods in the Storm Sea.
• Wang An left the Bronze Defense Line Star System, entered the Storm Sea, and found that his Heavenly Gleam divine artifact had begun to awaken there.
• A lightning attack struck Wang An, but his Jade Earth Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Canopy Shelter kept it from reaching his true form.
• Wang An used the sun divine moon ring to expose the hidden elves, thunderbirds, and fairy, then killed the surging-lightning fairy with his flying sword.
• Wang An’s Supreme Yin Divine Light weakened the elves and thunderbirds, and his flying sword killed them as well, prompting nearby beings of the End Forest to flee.

Wang An collected the law resources and divinities left by Demon Venerable Jidian and continued toward the Mythic Continent. Great Venerable Leize learned of Jidian’s fall and moved to secure his legacy, while a newly formed force of thunder god guards resisted other powerful true gods.

• Wang An gathered an elemental orb, thunder claws, lightning-filled eyes, and three divinities after defeating Demon Venerable Jidian.
• Wang An found no other thunder Dao true gods nearby and traveled through the Storm Sea toward the Mythic Continent.
• A true god on duty reported to Great Venerable Leize that Jidian’s Demon Thunder Palace had dimmed and Jidian was suspected to have fallen.
• Great Venerable Leize sent his Avatar to search for Jidian’s divine kingdom and ordered the Dharma-protecting true god to investigate without provoking a conflict.
• Heavenly god guards sealed off Jidian’s Demon Palace, and several thunder palace venerables objected to Leize taking control of the fallen god’s legacy.
• Twelve intermediate true gods formed the Divine Thunder Soldiers and Generals Battle Formation and resisted the pressure of the powerful true gods.

Wang An traveled to the Ten Thousand Mountains Fire Domain with eight lightning-element subordinates to establish the first Autumn Emperor Divine City. He subdued a Fire Mulberry Spirit Silkworm and arrived at the active volcano where its tree grew.

• An intermediate true god told Wang An that Leize ruled the Wind and Thunder Divine Realm and disavowed responsibility for Demon Venerable Jidian's attack; Wang An let him go.
• Wang An reached the edge of the Sea of Fire Disaster Domain with eight subdued lightning-element spirits and learned that its disasters were hostile failed true gods.
• Wang An announced plans to build the first Autumn Emperor Divine City in the Ten Thousand Mountains Fire Domain and ordered his subordinates to search for a suitable site.
• Wang An used the Supreme Yin Divine Moon Ring to find a Fire Mulberry Divine Tree and capture the sleeping Fire Mulberry Spirit Silkworm on one of its branches.
• Wang An subdued the second-tier, first-level Fire Mulberry Spirit Silkworm, taught it basic knowledge, and entered an active volcano with it.

Wang An discovered and seized a volcanic blessed land, adding its Mountaintop Fire Dao Foundation to his Inner Scene world. When a Mountain-Treading Calamity arrived, he struck it with Supreme Yin Divine Light and Divine Fire, bringing it to a halt.

• Wang An used the Supreme Yin Bright Lamp to reveal a Fire Mulberry Divine Tree and comprehended the Mountaintop Fire Dao Foundation, then severed it into his Inner Scene world.
• Wang An lifted the volcanic blessed land, stabilized its space, and arranged for magma and volcanic energy to nourish the Fire Mulberry Divine Tree.
• A Fire Earth Dragon Loach attacked the blessed land, but Wang An subdued it with Supreme Yin Divine Light and noted the locations of other nearby creatures.
• The Thunder Maiden Spirit warned Wang An of an approaching calamity, and a Mountain-Treading Pig flattened volcanoes as it carved a path through the mountains.
