Chapter Summaries

Chen Xun confronted Immortal Ancient, who revealed that he was the Gravekeeper of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand, an immortal tomb, and urged Chen Xun to join his immortal sect. Chen Xun refused to abandon his promises and left their future meeting unresolved.

• Immortal Ancient told Chen Xun that his Five Elements Immortal Body came from beyond the ages and warned him against entangling himself with the Ten Thousand Clans.
• Chen Xun said he would not regret his past choices and had promised Frog Daoist he would help it.
• Immortal Ancient revealed that he was the Gravekeeper and that the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand was an immortal tomb where intruders paid a price and lost their true selves.
• Immortal Ancient offered to explain everything if Chen Xun entered his immortal sect, but said they were enemies for now.
• Chen Xun asked whether Immortal Ancient knew Song Heng, then concluded that Immortal Ancient was also imprisoned by the world.
• Immortal Ancient summoned Forbidden Ground Divine Souls and regarded Chen Xun as a possible next-generation Gravekeeper, though Chen Xun had rejected his advice.

Chen Xun and Big Black Ox filled thousands of Storage Rings with Forbidden Ground Divine Souls and escaped the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand aboard the World Breaking Ship. As they left, Big Black Ox saw another version of itself repairing the Myriad Races Statues, and the pair returned to the ship with unease lingering over them.

• Over two months, Chen Xun and Big Black Ox gathered Forbidden Ground Divine Souls until their Storage Rings were full, then decided to leave without pursuing the Top-Grade Spirit Vein or revealing the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand’s secrets.
• Chen Xun resolved to forbid Five Elements Sect disciples and their clones from entering the forbidden ground, and reflected that his battles used much of their destruction against an opponent’s territory.
• Chen Xun reassured the wounded Big Black Ox that his clone had checked the route and found no ambush, then carried it toward their waiting World Breaking Ship.
• As they departed, Big Black Ox saw another Big Black Ox repairing the Myriad Races Statues, and Chen Xun told it not to dwell on the sight.
• Chen Xun and Big Black Ox boarded the World Breaking Ship and left the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand without an ambush, though both remained uneasy.

Chen Xun and Big Black Ox rested in the Great World after their dangerous trip, reflecting on their gains and the threat posed by Immortal Ancient. They planned to recover before returning, while Chen Xun thought wistfully of his son Little Wuhen in the Mystic Micro Heaven Domain.

• Chen Xun explained that he and Big Black Ox needed time to recover, then considered Immortal Ancient's Six Paths Future Body and the strength of his martial path.
• Chen Xun decided that Immortal Ancient still owed him for injuring Big Black Ox and thought about claiming the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand's construction laws and learning the technique.
• Chen Xun said their trip had repaid the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Race, eased Frog Daoist's burden, and brought back the real Old Ancestor Di Tian, allowing the Five Elements Sect to leave without lingering concerns.
• Chen Xun explained that he had suspected the newcomer was not Di Tian but only confirmed it when the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand revealed the truth.
• Big Black Ox worried about Little Wuhen, and Chen Xun reassured it that their son was safe and could explore the Cultivation World before they brought him back.
• Chen Xun looked toward the Mystic Micro Heaven Domain and missed Little Wuhen and the sweet potatoes he used to roast.

Bai Xinghan, Qian Wuhen, and Lightning Arrow traveled across the Mengmu Great Sea Region toward Dust Leaving Immortal Island, discussing cultivation realms and expecting safe, peaceful lives there. When Yin Tianshou learned that Qian Wuhen had arrived, he realized Chen Xun had entrusted his son to his care.

• Bai Xinghan and Qian Wuhen marveled at the spirit-rich sea while Lightning Arrow helped keep their boat from capsizing among the sea beasts.
• Bai Xinghan proposed dividing cultivators into Ant Realm, Fellow Daoist Realm, and Senior Realm, while Qian Wuhen shared his father's similar Young Lad Realm, Fellow Daoist Realm, and Old Lad Realm scheme.
• The three travelers reached Dust Leaving Immortal Island, where their Immortal Token began to glow and hum.
• A Harmony Dao cultivator reported to Yin Tianshou that Immortal Token holders Bai Xinghan and Qian Wuhen had arrived at Leaving Dust Immortal Palace.
• Yin Tianshou was shocked to learn that Qian Wuhen belonged to the Five Elements Immortal Sect and realized Chen Xun had sent his own son into his care.

Yin Tianshou and Cui Ying discussed why Chen Xun had sent his son to the Immortal Hall amid the brewing conflict between the human race and the Primordial Myriad Realms Domain. Yin Tianshou revealed that he had stayed in the Mengmu Great Sea Region because Chen Xun’s concern for him had become a burden and a way for others to restrain the Dao Ancestor; Cui Ying was left shaken by what Yin Tianshou told her next.

• Yin Tianshou ordered the Immortal Hall cultivators to assess Chen Xun’s son by the usual procedures, without special treatment.
• Cui Ying joined Yin Tianshou, and they wondered why Chen Xun had sent his son to the Immortal Hall system during a period of upheaval.
• Yin Tianshou explained that Chen Xun always put others before himself and had failed to remove his son from the dangers surrounding the human race’s attack.
• Cui Ying recognized that the conflict among the human race, the Ten Thousand Clans, and the Dao Ancestor threatened the Small Realms and could affect their family’s future.
• Yin Tianshou told Cui Ying he had stayed in the Mengmu Great Sea Region because Chen Xun’s attachment to him gave others leverage over the Dao Ancestor, and his next revelation left her unsettled for over a thousand years.

Yin Tianshou revealed to Cui Ying that he was prepared to self-destruct if the Boundless Myriad Races threatened Chen Xun, while Cui Ying hoped Qian Wuhen’s arrival would give their family a way out. Yin Tianshou took Wuhen in secretly, but after seeing him and his companions beg for payment in the immortal city, he wondered if he had been too optimistic about Chen Xun’s son.

• Yin Tianshou told Cui Ying he would prepare to self-destruct rather than let the Boundless Hegemon Clans use him against Chen Xun.
• Cui Ying considered bringing their daughter and grandson away, but learned the Five Elements Immortal Sect had gone into seclusion and did not know where they were.
• Yin Tianshou told Cui Ying to take Qian Wuhen in secretly and said he would watch over him, while refusing to tell Yin Xingxi about Chen Xun’s family.
• Yin Tianshou reflected on his estrangement from Yin Xingxi and worried about Chen Xun’s family in the Desolate Heaven Domain.
• Yin Tianshou spotted Qian Wuhen, Bai Xinghan, and their old horse begging for payment in the immortal city, then sighed that Wuhen seemed just like Chen Xun.

Qian Wuhen, Bai Xinghan, and Lightning Arrow tried to sell Desolate spiritual herbs at Moon Gazing Immortal Pavilion, where they encountered its powerful master, Pavilion Master Luo Shuang. Luo Shuang paid them far more than they expected before leaving, and the three sought to learn more about her status.

• Qian Wuhen and his companions negotiated with a Spirit Transformation steward to sell their spiritual herbs for three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Pavilion Master Luo Shuang arrived with a large entourage and discussed major investments, alliances, and plans for Nine Heavens Dao Academy.
• Bai Xinghan, Qian Wuhen, and Lightning Arrow were awed by Luo Shuang’s authority and wealth as she noticed them.
• Luo Shuang ordered the steward to pay the three juniors one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones for their herbs.
• After Luo Shuang departed, the steward identified her as Pavilion Master Luo Shuang, and Bai Xinghan asked whether she was royalty among cultivators.

Bai Xinghan, Qian Wuhen, and Lightning Arrow explored the vast Immortal Dao world of the Mengmu Great Sea Region and prepared to seek work at the Leaving Dust Immortal Palace. There, Bai Xinghan learned that a new measure of potential had displaced the old Heavenly Pride Ranking.

• The Spirit Transformation steward warned Bai Xinghan not to ask about Nangong, and Qian Wuhen led the group away with their spirit stones.
• Bai Xinghan hurried Qian Wuhen out of the Moon Gazing Immortal Pavilion after seeing the steep prices of its pills.
• The three took in the bustling Immortal Dao city, then decided to repay their teleportation debt, buy supplies, and apply for work at the Immortal Hall.
• The next morning, they arrived at the Leaving Dust Immortal Palace, where an assessment announced Feng Baoliang's Soul Strength.
• Bai Xinghan asked nearby cultivators about Soul Strength, and one explained that the ten great Heaven and Earth Hegemon Clans had introduced a new tool for estimating potential, replacing the old Heavenly Pride Ranking.

Bai Xinghan and his companions failed the Leaving Dust Immortal Palace’s cultivation assessment despite Bai Xinghan displaying formidable power. Qian Wuhen revealed their ancestral Immortal Token, which earned them entry and left the Town Sea Envoy taking them toward the main hall.

• After waiting three hours, Bai Xinghan and his companions reached the assessment, where the immortal puppets could not determine their cultivation realms.
• The Town Sea Envoy arrived and permitted the assessment to continue, and the immortal puppets set the measuring gate to the Transformation God Stage.
• Bai Xinghan struck the gate with Step Mountain and Collapse Mountain, unleashing Four Emptiness spirit pressure, but the puppet assessed his Soul Strength as one and declared the test failed.
• Qian Wuhen stopped the puppets from turning them away and revealed an ancestral Immortal Token.
• The Town Sea Envoy and immortal puppets recognized the token and let Qian Wuhen, Bai Xinghan, and Lightning Arrow enter without further assessments.
• The Town Sea Envoy led the three toward the main hall, gravely noting that the token bore the Immortal Alliance’s Dao-pattern insignia.

The Town Sea Envoy tested Bai Xinghan’s strength and discovered that his attack had injured it despite its Dao Integration cultivation. It realized that his strange Immortal Dao could bypass its defenses and was a natural enemy of the Spirit Qi Immortal Path.

• The Town Sea Envoy recalled how Jiao Zhenhai’s death had helped the Eight Vein Flood Dragon Clan rise within the Immortal Hall.
• The Town Sea Envoy recognized that Qian Wuhen, Bai Xinghan, and Lightning Arrow cultivated a path unlike the Spirit Qi Immortal Path and asked Bai Xinghan to demonstrate his strength.
• Bai Xinghan struck the Town Sea Envoy’s magical power shield, which barely moved, and the Town Sea Envoy praised his strength before departing.
• The Town Sea Envoy returned to its cave abode, activated its formations, and collapsed after suffering from the lingering force of Bai Xinghan’s punch.
• The Town Sea Envoy realized that Bai Xinghan’s attack had pierced its defenses and Great Dao Power, and it feared that his Immortal Dao was the natural enemy of the Spirit Qi Immortal Path.

The Town Sea Envoy ordered the injured creature to recover and pretend nothing had happened, suspecting Bai Xinghan, Qian Wuhen, and Lightning Arrow were descendants of powers tied to the World-Shocking War. At the Leaving Dust Immortal Palace, the three explored their new surroundings and befriended Tie Ning, who invited them to visit Lili Mountain.

• The Town Sea Envoy told the injured creature to recover and act as though nothing had happened, then took Flowing Light Pills to heal.
• Bai Xinghan, Qian Wuhen, and Lightning Arrow marveled at the Leaving Dust Immortal Palace and tried to memorize its paths and teleportation arrays.
• Tie Ning introduced himself as an early Refining Void Stage cultivator from Lili Mountain in the Great Wasteland, and Qian Wuhen asked about the Golden Birds there.
• Tie Ning invited the three to visit his hometown, and Bai Xinghan asked him to cover their Space Ship tickets in exchange for future spirit treasures.
• Tie Ning agreed to pay, and Qian Wuhen warmly called him Brother Tie Ning.

Qian Wuhen and his companions joined the Immortal Hall as minor patrol attendants, while Chen Xun returned to his sect. An imperial decree then ordered the Ancient Sacred Clan’s extermination, and revelations of its crimes shook the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

• Lin Yuluan introduced the Immortal Hall’s divisions and reprimanded Qian Wuhen for not listening.
• Qian Wuhen asked Lin Yuluan about their stipend and learned that newcomers received three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for a hundred years and access to Yellow-rank divine sense techniques.
• Lin Yuluan’s group claimed Qian Wuhen, Tie Ning, and two others, but Lightning Arrow received no stipend because it was a spirit beast.
• Qian Wuhen, Bai Xinghan, and Lightning Arrow began patrolling an immortal city, reporting normal conditions to one another through Sound Transmission Discs.
• Chen Xun received news from his son and headed back to his sect; thirty years later, an immortal decree ordered Ji Yan to step down as Alliance Leader.
• The Immortal Hall decreed the extermination of the remaining Ancient Sacred Clan, whose crimes were revealed across the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

• Qi Xin challenged the envoys' authority to remove Ji Yan and confronted Yin Xianqing, who was restrained by the Human Race envoy.
• Da Zhang asked whether Ji Yan would accept the decree, while Qi Xin suspected the Boundless Great World sought both the alliance and a reaction from the secluded Dao Ancestor.

Ji Yan resigned as Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance Leader after the Boundless Great World demanded his removal, then left his successors to face the collapse of the systems he had built. A year later, the new human alliance leader learned that the Immortal Alliance owed the Myriad Realms Spirit Bank ten trillion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

• The new leaders sent by the Boundless Great World discovered that Ji Yan had concealed widespread disasters and that the Alliance's prosperity depended on his authority and the Five Elements Dao Ancestor's prestige.
• A year later, representatives of the Myriad Realms Spirit Bank demanded ten trillion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones from the new human alliance leader and threatened to seize Immortal Alliance property if the debt went unpaid.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance faced a mounting debt crisis as creditors from across the Nine Great Worlds demanded repayment and an immortal arrived to enforce a property covenant. After Yao Shan temporarily placated the creditors, Huang Xie suggested the situation might not be entirely bad.

• Yao Shan struggled to answer when creditors demanded repayment of one trillion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, while the Nine Heavens Alliance Leader cursed Ji Yan for concealing the debt.
• A Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Race immortal arrived to collect on an agreement requiring the Alliance to deliver Spirit Veins, mines, and properties within one hundred thousand years.
• The chapter revealed that Ji Yan had spent the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Race's Spirit Stones on large-scale War Magical Artifacts, while unrest spread across the Nine Great Worlds and Ancient Sacred Clan cultivators began entering them.
• One month later, Yao Shan had promised the gathered powers an explanation in ten years, and the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Race immortal had sworn to reclaim its contracted property if delivery was delayed.
• Huang Xie met Yao Shan in the hall, criticized the Alliance's excessive borrowing and Ji Yan's deception, then said the situation might also be viewed as not too bad.

Huang Xie and Yao Shan planned to confront Ji Yan and stabilize the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance amid growing unrest and debt. After learning that the Myriad Realms Spirit Bank had concealed a second set of accounts for Ji Yan, Huang Xie resolved to report the matter and establish another spirit bank.

• Huang Xie told Yao Shan to delay debt repayments and stabilize the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance, even if they had to follow the path Ji Yan had laid out.

• Ji Yan revealed that the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance Token had acknowledged him as its master and that he had devoured a strand of origin essence from every former Alliance Master.
• Qi Xin reconsidered Ji Yan’s ties to the Boundless Human Race and his unusual abilities, then asked whether Ji Yan was already preparing to become an immortal.

Ji Yan and Qi Xin discussed how Star Pivot and its Star Stones might become vital during future upheaval, strengthening their cooperation. The chapter ended with Qi Xin valuing each Star Stone at one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

• Qi Xin declared that one Star Stone was worth one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

He left with Tian Li for the Taiyi World, while his greater ambition remained bringing the Three Thousand Great Worlds Immortal Alliance under his command.

• Ji Yan and Tian Li left the manor to catch the morning Space Ship bound for the gate of the Taiyi World.

Qi Xin learned that Yue Xi Xian remained at the Ancient Sacred Clan Ancestral Land and ordered his people to exploit the purge for the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance’s gain. In the Mengmu Great Sea Region, Qian Wuhen and his companions agreed to avoid the Ancient Sacred Clan, until someone confronted them about their conspicuous plotting.

• Qi Xin learned that Yue Xi Xian had not gone to the Extraterritorial Battlefield and ordered his people to use the purge to seize resources within the Nine Great Worlds.

• Qian Wuhen suggested withdrawing from the immortal registry to avoid the purge, but Lightning Arrow and Bai Xinghan warned him of the consequences.
• Qian Wuhen, Lightning Arrow, and Bai Xinghan agreed to pretend they had not seen any Ancient Sacred Clan cultivators.
• A clear, cold voice asked the three what they were plotting so loudly.
