Chapter Summaries

The chapter explained how the New Heaven cultivators used specially forged treasures to communicate and travel through the Danyuan Secret Realm. Their equipment relied solely on Immortal Dao methods, keeping the alliance between Canglan’s two Daos hidden from the Upper Realm cultivators.

• The chapter described how most cultivators struggled to explore the Secret Realm, while True Intent and Mystic Insight cultivators could traverse space only by resonating with an Elixir Spirit Space.
• Chen Yang, Dark Underworld Venerable, Qin Changsheng, and other Canglan experts supported Ling Shuang, Xiao Yao, Ning Jiu, Yang Yuanzhao, and the operation’s other executors.
• Six peak Canglan cultivators forged three treasures so New Heaven members could transmit messages, receive them, and escape through space.
• Xiao Yao and the others received Ling Shuang’s Thought Transmission through sensitive pink down, while Ling Shuang sent it using a scale from the Palace Master of Penglai Palace.
• New Heaven cultivators carried Snail Shells that could use Tidal Surge to traverse the Secret Realm in an emergency, though their use was limited.
• Chen Yang chose not to include Divine Dao power in the treasures, fearing the Upper Realm cultivators would detect the alliance between Canglan’s two Daos.

Chen Yang sent the Blood Sun Venerable God to join Xiao Yao and the New Heaven cultivators against the Upper Realm cultivators, while advising Frost Flower to learn from the coming battle. Elsewhere, as Li Huazhong began refining pills, Wang Sanjin asked He Xinxian whether she wanted Zhao Yuancheng’s Immortal Treasure, and she declined to pursue it.

• Chen Yang sent Blood Sun’s form, body, will, and spirit into the avatar Xiao Yao carried and explained to Frost Flower why Blood Sun should lead the fight alone.
• Chen Yang told Frost Flower that Lin Qiao was heading to the Five Directions Immortal Mansion and that Frost Flower would eventually need to face the immortal cultivators himself.
• Blood Sun greeted Xiao Yao, explained that he would serve as bait until the Upper Realm cultivators revealed their methods, and began spreading his divine power through the Elixir Spirit Spaces.
• Li Huazhong prepared a pill furnace in a Secret Realm, and Yang Yuanzhao tended its fire with the Pill Workshop cultivators.
• Wang Sanjin asked He Xinxian whether she wanted Zhao Yuancheng’s Immortal Treasure, and she said she did not want to invite further trouble or pursue the Secret Realm’s opportunities.

He Xinxian and Wang Sanjin sensed the Immortal Treasure’s aura during Li Huazhong’s alchemy, but He Xinxian resisted its pull while Wang Sanjin plotted to seize it. Wang Sanjin planned to take Li Huazhong’s immortal power first, then capture Zhao Yuancheng and claim the treasure.

• He Xinxian and Wang Sanjin’s immortal power surged toward the Immortal Treasure’s aura, leaving Wang Sanjin disoriented.
• He Xinxian rejected the chance to pursue the treasure, resolving that immortality without freedom was not worth seeking.
• Li Huazhong stabilized Wang Sanjin’s divine soul and, believing his excuse was false, separated him from the other alchemy cultivators to rest.
• Wang Sanjin welcomed the chance to leave the alchemy work and prepared to seize Li Huazhong’s immortal power before taking Zhao Yuancheng and the Immortal Treasure.
• Wang Sanjin decided to strike when Li Huazhong focused on completing the pill, expecting that another portion of immortal power and the treasure would let him defeat even the True Dragon Imperial Daughter.

Wang Sanjin surrendered his body to the Ascendant Will and tried to kill He Xinxian, but Li Huazhong stopped him with spatial sorcery. When He Xinxian collapsed from rampaging immortal power, Li Huazhong used his master's remaining will to restrain it and try to save her.

• As Li Huazhong prepared to complete the elixir, Wang Sanjin gave control of his body to the Ascendant Will and attacked He Xinxian with a green needle.
• Li Huazhong blocked the needle with a spatial barrier and pursued Wang Sanjin as he fled through the Elixir Origin Space.
• He Xinxian spat blood and collapsed, so Li Huazhong sent an avatar after Wang Sanjin and examined her with his true body.
• Li Huazhong sensed evil immortal power endangering He Xinxian's soul and answered his master's command to save her.
• Li Huazhong sent the remnant of his master's will into He Xinxian's body, where it restrained the rampaging immortal power.

The Ascendant Will, controlling Wang Sanjin, battled Yang Yuanzhao with fire, ice, blood, and spatial techniques. After figuring out how Yang Yuanzhao’s borrowed spatial defense worked, it surrounded him with narrowing tributaries of blood, leaving him under pressure.

• Yang Yuanzhao attacked Wang Sanjin with golden true fire, but the Ascendant Will countered with ice techniques.
• The Ascendant Will cut Wang Sanjin’s neck to draw blood, then used Blood River Surge to evade Yang Yuanzhao’s Meteor Firestorm and launch blood attacks.
• Yang Yuanzhao asked Yun Xiang for help and used Mirage Echo to shield himself with layered spaces.
• The Ascendant Will identified the weakness in Yang Yuanzhao’s spatial defense and sent hundreds of blood tributaries to surround and crush him.

Chen Yang realized that multiple Void Realm cultivators were behind the Ascendant Will, while Nangong Jinghe lost contact with his true body in the Upper Realm. After Yang Yuanzhao escaped Wang Sanjin, the chapter revealed that Nangong Jinghe’s true body had also walked into a trap.

• Chen Yang connected Yang Yuanzhao’s Golden Flame Spirit Body Art to the Lingxiao Dao Academy and told Nangong Jinghe, who discovered that an unknown force had severed his connection to his true body.
• Yang Yuanzhao refused to explain where he had learned the art and attacked Wang Sanjin, who sliced his Golden Flame Spirit Body in two.
• Yang Yuanzhao escaped using his treasure of Creation, and Wang Sanjin chose not to pursue him despite an angry voice urging him to kill or seize Yang Yuanzhao.
• Wang Sanjin’s shifting expressions and argument with himself revealed that multiple Void Realm cultivators were involved in the Ascendant Will.
• Wang Sanjin followed the scent of Blood Sun’s divine power, while Nangong Jinghe’s true body was led by a senior fellow disciple to the Heavenly Sea Clear Pool and realized they were not alone.

Wang Sanjin’s Ascendant Will approached a Creation Origin that could grant a blood-art divine ability, but someone reached it first and moved it through space. The wills pursued while deciding to conceal their aura and investigate before acting.

• Five days after clashing with Yang Yuanzhao, Wang Sanjin’s Ascendant Will located a Creation Origin associated with blood arts.
• The wills discussed how rare divine abilities were and how the Sea Pavilion True Lord had given them methods to find Creation Origin.
• As Wang Sanjin rested, the wills planned to cross the remaining realm barriers, claim the divine ability, and escape the Danyuan Secret Realm in a new host.
• The wills sensed that a cultivator had reached the Creation Origin and that the treasure was moving through space.
• The Ascendant Will used spatial power to pursue, then the wills slowed down, hid their aura, and chose to investigate before making a plan.

Xiao Yao revealed that the Canglan Immortal Intent had told her about the Upper Realm cultivators and their search for the ancient relic. She then transformed into battle armor and attacked Wang Sanjin, declaring that only one of them would leave alive.

• Xiao Yao told Wang Sanjin she recognized the relic and knew he and the other souls came from the Upper Realm.
• Xiao Yao revealed that she knew Nangong Jinghe and Luo Qianchou were also searching for the relic, but had kept that knowledge secret.
• Xiao Yao explained that the Canglan Immortal Intent had shared the secret with her, astonishing the Ascendant Will.
• Xiao Yao formed her Dragon Breath battle armor and told Wang Sanjin that Upper Realm souls nourished Azure Waves cultivators.
• Xiao Yao vanished and closed in on Wang Sanjin before he could cast a spell.

Xiao Yao fought the Ascendant Will controlling Wang Sanjin, who used the Upper Realm’s Spatial Devouring Art to absorb her dragon breath. The Ascendant Will summoned more devouring spheres as Xiao Yao formed a vision of the Purple Cloud Golden Sun.

• Xiao Yao released Yang Yuanhong’s suppression and revealed her Purple-Gold True Dragon form.
• Xiao Yao attacked Wang Sanjin with dragon breath, but the Ascendant Will absorbed it using the Spatial Devouring Art.
• The Ascendant Will mocked Xiao Yao and formed three more devouring spheres around Wang Sanjin.
• Xiao Yao stopped attacking directly and formed a vision of the Purple Cloud Golden Sun.

The Ascendant Will joined forces with his other Treading-Void Split Soul and used an Upper Realm art that suppressed dragon bodies to strip away Xiao Yao’s defenses. With her true form exposed and four devouring orbs locked onto her, Xiao Yao was left in grave danger.

• The Ascendant Will realized Xiao Yao’s endless Dragon Shadows were meant to exhaust his four devouring orbs and wear down Wang Sanjin’s body.
• He asked the other Treading-Void Split Soul for help, and the two joined their strength.
• The Ascendant Will unleashed an azure dragon-suppressing art that evaporated Xiao Yao’s Dragon Shadows and filled her with instinctive fear.
• With Xiao Yao’s true dragon form exposed, the Ascendant Will sent four devouring orbs to lock onto her body.

The Ascendant Will recognized Xiao Yao’s power as an immortal art and struggled to counter her, but Wang Sanjin’s overstrained body began to collapse. Xiao Yao crushed his spatial sorcery and sent him crashing into the Elixir Spirit Space, where Liuli appeared beside him.

• The eldest split soul identified Xiao Yao’s power as an immortal art and warned that she might become a second Zhuang Xuanji.
• Xiao Yao attacked, seized a devouring sphere, and proved Wang Sanjin’s spatial sorcery could not affect her.
• The eldest split soul took control of Wang Sanjin and began using the Ice Mist Immortal Art as his body burst from overexertion.
• Xiao Yao crushed the devouring sphere and punched Wang Sanjin down to the bottom of the Elixir Spirit Space.
• Liuli appeared beside Wang Sanjin after he struck the space’s wall.

Xiao Yao rejected the Upper Cultivator's offer to cooperate and unleashed a powerful avatar, forcing him to sacrifice Wang Sanjin's remaining lifespan for a decisive clash. Their immortal techniques collided and created a spatial vortex that threatened to crush everything in the realm.

• The Treading-Void Split Souls plotted to preserve Wang Sanjin's last breath, burn away his remaining vitality, and escape using Spatial Folding.
• The Upper Cultivator tried to persuade Xiao Yao to stop fighting and cooperate in refining the ancient cultivator's relic.
• Xiao Yao summoned two more Liuli avatars and said that her martial uncles also knew how to refine the supreme treasure, revealing that the Upper Cultivator was no ally of theirs.
• Xiao Yao manifested a strange eight-armed, four-legged avatar as the Upper Cultivator sacrificed Wang Sanjin's remaining lifespan to summon an icy immortal sword.
• Xiao Yao's Supreme Intent True Martial Break clashed with the Upper Cultivator's Cold-Coalescing Edge, Immortal and Mortal Rebirth, crushing the realm's source power and forming a vast spatial vortex.

Three Treading-Void Split Souls realized they had been drawn into the ownerless Creation Origin and saw an opportunity to refine its power. They began absorbing the sea of blood into Wang Sanjin, restoring his battered body.

• The Treading-Void Split Souls investigated the strange space and concluded that it had no connection to the Danyuan Secret Realm.
• The oldest Split Soul realized they had entered the Creation Origin itself, which Xiao Yao had not yet mastered.
• The three Split Souls decided to use the Sea Pavilion Secret Art to refine the Creation Origin and gain power to threaten Xiao Yao.
• The Split Souls began drawing the sea of blood into Wang Sanjin, and his pale, battered body regained its color and flesh.

The origin of creation turned the blood and qi in Wang Sanjin’s body against the three Treading Void soul fragments, trapping two and refining their souls. The old cultivator escaped the body but found himself stranded beneath a river of stars as blood-red light engulfed him.

• The three cultivators realized that the blood and qi was taking control of Wang Sanjin’s body instead of becoming his foundation.
• The old cultivator withdrew his soul fragment, but blood-and-qi chains trapped the other two and began refining their souls.
• The trapped soul fragments cried for help, but the old cultivator refused to return and sacrificed half his soul essence to escape.
• The old cultivator’s remaining soul fragment emerged in a desolate void and saw stars form a river overhead.
• The old cultivator failed to summon the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and blood-red light engulfed him.

Wang Sanjin died while believing the Blood Sun Venerable God had helped him attain the Dao. Meanwhile, the Ascendant Will continued fighting He Xinxian and failed to break her resolve to keep control of her own Dao.

• After the Blood Sun Venerable God withdrew its power, Wang Sanjin's body dissolved as his Primordial Spirit rose into a vision of the stars.
• Wang Sanjin mistook the Blood Sun Venerable God for a True Immortal, begged for an immortal art, and died believing he had ascended.
• The Ascendant Will within He Xinxian remained locked in battle with the remnant will of Li Huazhong's master, which had the advantage with Li Huazhong behind it.
• The Ascendant Will grew frustrated that He Xinxian resisted its attempts to control her, unaware that Wang Sanjin and the Treading-Void Split Soul within him had perished.
• He Xinxian insisted that her Dao belonged to her alone, and the Ascendant Will berated her talent and claimed she needed its help.

Li Huazhong trapped three Treading-Void Split Souls inside his Dao Furnace, where his master's remnant helped refine them. As the furnace pulled the fragments inward, one cultivator sacrificed another's soul to escape, leaving Li Huazhong unable to easily stop him.

• Li Huazhong summoned his Dao Furnace and confined the three fleeing Treading-Void Split Souls.
• Li Huazhong's master sent his remnant into the furnace, preparing to sacrifice himself to kill the cultivators from the heavens.
• Li Huazhong intensified the furnace flames while the old alchemist's pellet phantom drew the soul fragments toward it.
• One Treading Void cultivator approached another under the pretense of cooperation, then attacked him.
• The old cultivator sacrificed the other soul fragment and used an escape art to pass through the Dao Furnace.
• Li Huazhong summoned profound fire-light to suppress the escaping cultivator, but could not easily stop him.

Shen Yue, Baili Fusang, and Liu Yanqing guarded the Elixir Origin Spaces around the Elixir Spirit Space, preventing the old cultivator’s wandering souls from escaping. Liu Yanqing checked on Dongfang Yinghao and the young prodigies stationed with him, who were gaining experience intercepting the souls.

• Shen Yue crushed two wandering souls as they escaped through a spatial wall, then sent ink-formed spirit birds to devour more souls emerging elsewhere.
• Shen Yue contacted Baili Fusang, who reported that he had killed the wandering souls in his space with his sword.
• Liu Yanqing used her Netherparting Divine Wind Formation to shred more than a dozen wandering souls that emerged into her space.
• Liu Yanqing contacted Dongfang Yinghao, who reassured her that Dongfang Shuci, Han Fenghua, and Fang Hanchuan were handling the mission under his watch.

Bai Di planned how the New Heaven Project would expand its ranks, prioritizing trustworthy candidates who could resist the Ascendant Will’s temptations. The chapter set out three recruitment groups and reserved the decision on inviting Mystic Insight Venerables to Chen Yang, Dark Underworld Venerable, and Qin Changsheng.

• The New Heaven Project favored trustworthy recruits over greater fighting strength because the Ascendant Will could tempt cultivators to betray its secrets.
• The Heaven-Masters focused on promising young prodigies, while Li Huazhong had been invited only after they judged him worthy.
• Bai Di used Yang Lingqing’s notes to plan recruitment from young prodigies in small and mid-sized factions, talented True Intent Cultivators, and Canglan’s Mystic Insight Venerables.
• Chen Yang, Dark Underworld Venerable, and Qin Changsheng alone held authority to invite Mystic Insight Venerables because those cultivators could access the project’s deepest secrets.

Chen Yang’s plan drew the remnant of the Upper Cultivator’s soul into Star Sea Space, while the Yang Clan continued to prosper under its younger generation. The remnant began recovering there and discovered an astonishing concentration of Creation Origin.

• Chen Yang and the Five Heroes of Meng River’s preparations ensured the Upper Cultivator’s remnant was funneled into Elixir Spirit Space and drawn into Star Sea Space.
• Chen Yang reflected on Yang Lingqing’s legacy and trusted Yang Yuanxing, Yang Yuanwen, Yang Yuanliu, and Yang Lingshu to share responsibility for the Yang Clan’s future.
• A newborn Yang Clan child attracted a Spirit Pearl before birth, which became a natal companion object in the form of a long white-jade blade.
• In Star Sea Space, the remnant’s soul began healing under the surrounding power, and he recognized that the place contained more Creation Origin than any treasure he had encountered.

Chen Yang examined the refined memories of an Upper Cultivator Soul Fragment and learned which Void Realm cultivators had placed Ascendant Wills in Wang Sanjin and He Xinxian. He realized the three factions might already be moving against Nangong Jinghe and Zhuang Xuanji in the Void Realm, while New Heaven had no way to send its intelligence upward.

• Liuli used the Spirit Tempering Divine Technique to refine the Upper Cultivator’s remnant soul and presented its core to Chen Yang.
• Chen Yang examined the fragment’s memories and identified the Old Ancestor of Lingxiao Dao Academy, a Confluence Faction elder, and a Demonic Dao cultivator as the cultivators behind the Ascendant Wills.
• Chen Yang discovered that the three Void Realm cultivators had divided their memories and signature techniques among separate soul fragments.
• Blood Sun Venerable God presented three refined Treading-Void Split Souls from Wang Sanjin, whose memories helped Chen Yang confirm the cultivators’ precautions.
• Chen Yang concluded that the Upper Cultivator from Sea Pavilion’s arrival had broken the balance between the realms and that the Void Realm factions might prevent Canglan’s peak cultivators from ascending.
