Chapter Summaries

Mo Wenjian’s simulated life culminated in creating the Longevity Sword Instruction, which transformed and ascended the Wuxia Great Ming world before the simulation ended. He had to choose one of three Dao Fruits, though he wished he could take all of them.

• Mo Wenjian created the Five Elements Sword Instruction and divided it into progressively simpler manuals that spread throughout the Great Ming court and martial world.
• Mo Wenjian developed the Seventy-Two Earth Sha Swords from a basic manual into a Shattering the Void Realm art, mastering the essence of the Sword Dao through its contrast with the Five Elements Sword Instruction.
• Mo Wenjian created the Great Sun and Supreme Yin Sword Instructions, and Zhu Zhanshan fused them to shatter the void and ascend.
• Mo Wenjian expanded Wudang's Taiji Sword, Shaolin's Bodhidharma Swordsmanship, and Mount Hua's Nourish My Swordsmanship into Shattering the Void Realm manuals.
• Mo Wenjian created the Longevity Sword Instruction, causing the Wuxia Great Ming world to transform and ascend, which forcibly ended the simulation.
• Mo Wenjian faced a choice among Sword Dao comprehension, Longevity Sword Instruction, and Seventy-Two Earth Sha Swords, but could select only one.

Mo Wenjian chose insights into the Sword Dao, greatly deepening his martial arts knowledge while forgetting his original plan to study the boundary. He used his new understanding to guide Zhu Zhanshan with a treasured sword, leaving Zhu with a clear path toward the Celestial Person Realm and beyond.

• Mo Wenjian chose insights into the Sword Dao over the Seventy-Two Earth Sha Swords and Longevity Sword Instruction, gaining knowledge that surpassed the Shattering the Void Realm.
• Mo Wenjian realized he had become absorbed in sword arts and postponed studying the boundary until his next simulation.
• Mo Wenjian used Chaos Sword Gang to clean himself and then noticed Zhu Zhanshan practicing Two Forms Swordsmanship without grasping its essence.
• Mo Wenjian inscribed his Wudang swordsmanship insights onto Zhu Zhanshan's treasured sword, helping Zhu achieve an epiphany and form Two Forms Sword Qi.
• Mo Wenjian told Zhu Zhanshan that the sword could guide him to the Celestial Person Realm and potentially let him shatter the void, while Zhu felt overwhelmed by gratitude.

Mo Wenjian used the simulator to follow decades of research into the boundary and spatial techniques, developing powerful methods while abandoning dangerous experiments. By age 260, he had discovered spatial folding, which let him travel a thousand li in a single step.

• At age 16, Mo Wenjian saw that Zhu Zhanshan's lessons had strengthened the Great Ming army, and Zhu Di sent Zhu Zhanshan to Mount Wudang to study cultivation.
• At age 30, Mo Wenjian created the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction, and Zhang Sanfeng soon ascended; later, Master Daoyan ascended after Mo Wenjian improved the technique.
• At age 60, Mo Wenjian killed void creatures that entered through the rifts his experiments had opened, then stopped researching the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction.
• Mo Wenjian mastered spatial expansion and collapse, creating techniques to keep enemies away, bring distant targets within reach, and disintegrate a stone into atoms.
• At age 180, Mo Wenjian realized that spatial collapse could trigger catastrophic processes, so he halted that line of research despite making progress.
• At age 210, Mo Wenjian used spatial expansion and collapse to refine his Chaos Sword Gang, then explored dimensional reduction before accidentally discovering spatial folding at age 260.

Mo Wenjian chose the results of his space research as his Dao Fruit and realized he could shape space at will. When Zhu Zhanshan cried out from a nightmare, Mo Wenjian went to check on him and began considering how to comfort the homesick child.

• In the simulation, Mo Wenjian researched spatial expansion and collapse, created Draw the Ground as a Prison, and died after a powerful void creature detected his large-scale experiment.
• Mo Wenjian rejected the Space-Breaking Sword Instruction and the strength of the peak Shattered Void realm, then claimed the results of his space research.
• Mo Wenjian sensed that he could knead and shape space like modeling clay, but Zhu Zhanshan's startled cry interrupted his planned experiments.
• Mo Wenjian used Distant Horizons Within Reach to reach Zhu Zhanshan's door and heard him tell his master that he had only had a nightmare.
• Mo Wenjian realized Zhu Zhanshan was frightened and far from his parents, and considered doing something to help him.

Mo Wenjian took Zhu Zhanshan and his master from Mount Wudang to the Forbidden City, where Master Daoyan attacked them during court. After Mo Wenjian repeatedly stopped his attacks, Master Daoyan witnessed him open a spatial rift and was left stunned.

• Mo Wenjian invited Zhu Zhanshan to visit the Forbidden City and used spatial folding to bring him and his master to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
• Master Daoyan attacked Mo Wenjian with the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Thousand-Leaf Hand, but Mo Wenjian stretched the space between them until the palm prints dissipated.
• Master Daoyan unleashed the Vajra Prajna Palm, and Mo Wenjian made the golden palm print crumble by expanding space.
• Master Daoyan sent two afterimages after Zhu Zhanshan and his master while striking Mo Wenjian with the Tathagata Divine Palm.
• Mo Wenjian opened a spatial rift with Chaos Sword Gang and swallowed the Tathagata Divine Palm; Master Daoyan was shocked, and his afterimages collapsed.

Mo Wenjian declined to tour the Forbidden City, took Zhu Zhanshan to the Capital, and spent the day enjoying its food and night market. The simulator then revealed his future plans to strengthen his body after pushing his Chaos Sword Gang beyond what his flesh could withstand.

• Zhu Zhanshan told Zhu Di how Mo Wenjian had brought him back to the Capital and asked to guide his master through the Forbidden City.
• An imperial censor loyal to Zhu Zhanji objected to allowing Mo Wenjian into the Forbidden City, but Mo Wenjian dropped the request and chose to eat roast duck instead.
• Mo Wenjian used spatial folding to reach a renowned roast duck restaurant, then watched folk performers at the night market.
• Mo Wenjian opened the All-Heavens Dao Fruit Simulator and saw its future predictions, including his plans to strengthen Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, his growing mastery of Chaos Sword Gang, and his search for a way to strengthen his body.

Mo Wenjian’s simulated life in the Wuxia Great Ming World culminated in a realm beyond Shattered Void, which he named See the Indestructible Spirit. After ascending at age 499, he chose the Dao Fruit for strength beyond Shattered Void.

• Mo Wenjian spent centuries developing Five Elements, Yin-Yang, Longevity, and Zhoutian Sword Gang, pushing his physical strength beyond Shattered Void.
• After reaching the limit of See the Indestructible Spirit, Mo Wenjian realized that the sword both made him and constrained him.
• Mo Wenjian returned his Sword Gang to its origin as freely changing Gang Qi and mastered martial techniques across many styles.
• Mo Wenjian shattered the void and ascended in broad daylight at age 499.
• Mo Wenjian rejected the lifespan and martial-insight Dao Fruits and selected strength beyond Shattered Void.
