Chapter Summaries

Little Crimson and Song Heng led the Garbage Recycling Plant’s treasure hunters to gather spirit stones while Chen Xun prepared to advance into the Refining Void Stage. The Big Black Ox endured the Great Era Heavenly Tribulation, and after two days and nights, its lightning cocoon floated beneath rosy clouds as it awaited transformation.

• Little Crimson told Song Heng to gather the men, and hundreds of Nascent Soul Cultivators followed them to scavenge the garbage heaps.
• Chen Xun’s five Primordial Spirits united at the Mengmu Great Sea Region as he prepared to advance into the Refining Void Stage.
• The Big Black Ox faced the Great Era Heavenly Tribulation with its Big Black Coffin, five Primordial Spirits, and one hundred and eight Incense Burner Great Arrays.
• Hundreds of World Extinction Thunders and then thousands of dragon-shaped lightning bolts struck the Big Black Ox, which endured the assault and welcomed the body-tempering power.
• After two days and two nights, the Big Black Ox’s lightning cocoon rested beneath rosy clouds, marking the end of its tribulation and the beginning of its next transformation.

After half a year of transformation, Chen Xun advanced into the Refining Void Stage and demonstrated his overwhelming power to three Eight Meridians Jiaolong. He explored his new control over Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and the death qi within his Primordial Spirit.

• A rosy radiance and strange Five Elements Qi accompanied Big Black Ox's transformation for half a year before the phenomenon faded.
• Three Eight Meridians Jiaolong investigated the phenomenon, but Chen Xun stopped them with his pressure and asked them to give his dojo some face.
• The terrified Jiaolong apologized and fled after Chen Xun let them go.

• Chen Xun tested his power by Severing the seawater, then reflected on his ability to control and annihilate Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
• Chen Xun realized his Primordial Spirit could become a Five Elements Death Qi Demon Shadow without backlash, but resolved to avoid using life-draining powers unless desperate.

Chen Xun and Big Black Ox completed their advances to the Refining Void Stage and reunited at sea, discussing their new strength and backup plans. Chen Xun contacted Little Crane about Garbage Island and their return, while Big Black Ox mistook their voice-only call for a chance to speak with her.

Chen Xun planned to earn the Spirit Stones needed for a safe Refining Void Stage cultivation, while he and Big Black Ox consolidated their cultivation at sea. Six months later, a lone Treasure Hunter at Garbage Island saw Song Heng’s Garbage Recycling Plant workers earning far more than solitary scavengers and joined their ranks.

• Chen Xun reviewed expensive Refining Void cultivation resources and concluded that earning Spirit Stones was the best way to fund his cultivation.
• Chen Xun and Big Black Ox quietly consolidated their cultivation on a reef while Chen Xun planned how to gather enough Spirit Stones.
• A year after arriving at Garbage Island, a black-haired young man saw Garbage Recycling Plant workers find Great Wasteland Black God Crystal and earn hundreds or thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Song Heng told the young man he could keep scavenging alone or sell his finds beneath the largest Barren Mountain.
• The young man watched Song Heng direct hundreds of cultivators to search beneath a broken ship, then joined them in calling out to the Daoist Priest.

• Gu Li Sheng declared that he wanted to join the Garbage Recycling Plant, but Song Heng sent him to find Manager Mo and flew away.

• Chen Xun told the crowd to resume work and invited Little Crane and the others to talk by the coast.
• Chen Xun praised NanGong HeLing’s flower field, then warned her to prepare an explanation, leaving Little Crane alarmed.

Chen Xun scolded NanGong HeLing for secretly planting a flower field but allowed her to keep it if she limited playtime, then encouraged Little Crimson’s cultivation and reflected on Little Crane’s strange growth. After sending them away to work, he sat alone by the shore and began fishing.

• Chen Xun examined NanGong HeLing’s study notes and scolded her and Little Crimson for hiding the flower field, but allowed it to remain if she played for only one hour each day.
• Chen Xun warned Big Black Ox and Little Crimson not to deceive him again, then promised to help Little Crimson cultivate and spoke of returning to the Baili Clan, the Five Elements Sect, and the Heaven Severing Great Plains.

Chen Xun explained why benefactors supported promising cultivators, then began teaching Mo Fuyang the Five Elements Profound Technique. After hearing Qing Li and Qing Wan’s request to bring their scattered clan to Garbage Island, Chen Xun agreed to receive a thousand members first, before Yun Jin summoned him to Wind Riding Mountain Villa.

• Chen Xun told Mo Fuyang that he had chosen him because he wanted to see how far he could go, and gave him Facing Origin Crimson Treasure Fruits and the Five Elements Profound Technique.

• Yun Jin warned Chen Xun that the supply of Great Wasteland Black God Crystals had grown too large for him to handle openly, and offered to yield the business if needed.

• Yun Jin suggested trading Great Wasteland Black God Crystals directly for spirit herbs and pills to reduce the risks of using the Immortal Pavilion’s spirit-stone accounts.
• Yun Jin contacted a woman with trading channels on Floating Cloud Island, and Chen Xun agreed to discuss the arrangement.

• Chen Xun, Big Black Ox, Little Crane, and Little Crimson sensed an alarming disturbance connected to the Small Realm and feared a calamity was approaching.
• Chen Xun realized their lingering aura from the Small Realm might have stirred the disturbance, but he could only hope its people were safe.

The Five Elements Sect and the realms around it prospered as they prepared for the future, but three colossal beasts appeared in the heavens and began draining the world's vital energy.

Three colossal War Magical Artifacts triggered a realm-wide calamity, draining essence qi and collapsing mountains as cultivators fled toward teleportation arrays and ships.

• Their leader sensed the aura of those who had opened the realm path, recognized the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, and boarded a Starry Sky Ancient Ship as it enveloped the plains and terrified the cultivators.

A catastrophic force drained the realm’s spiritual energy and caused it to collapse, leaving its inhabitants to flee through unstable Space Channels. The Jiang Clan and other ancient families sacrificed their Old Ancestors to give their descendants a chance to reach the great age.

• The Jiang Clan Old Ancestors realized that opening the realm’s path had brought a calamity that their divinations had shown could not be avoided.

• The pillars annihilated the realm's cultivators and destroyed the Bank of the Milky Way and the great ravine, leaving only white light and silence.

After a Small Realm was destroyed, Chen Xun and his companions felt an inexplicable grief on Garbage Island, while Little Crane began transforming under its influence. Majestic Starfall descended upon the Mengmu Great Sea Region, leaving Chen Xun and the others silent as Song Heng and Gu Li Sheng watched the spectacle.

• A Heavenly Outer Beast destroyed the Small Realm, and Meng Sheng watched through the Space Channel while clutching the Five Elements Sect's Teleportation Token.
• The destruction's grief struck Chen Xun and his companions on Garbage Island; Little Crane shed blood and tears as strange Black-and-White Immortal Eyes appeared, while the others stood in silence.
• Two hours later, Majestic Starfall descended upon the Mengmu Great Sea Region, and an array broadcast that the spectacle was harmless and would vanish within an hour.
• Treasure Hunters admired the Starfall, while Song Heng and Gu Li Sheng drank on a Barren Mountain and traded boasts, burying and rescuing each other in a scuffle.
• Song Heng and Gu Li Sheng listened to news from the Mengmu Great Sea Region and quietly watched the Starfall.
