Chapter Summaries

Chen Feng prepared to enter a long cultivation seclusion while the Xingfeng Sect’s weapons gained renown across the Inner Sea. Five years later, Beast Taming Sect genius Yu Hua led a delegation to buy weapons and investigate a Nascent Soul Demon Beast, but his group began enslaving Demon Beasts in the Xingfeng Sect’s territory.

• Chen Feng asked Zhengjiao about techniques that could divide a Divine Soul and learned that the Expansion Divine Sect possessed a clone-related Divine Ability.
• Chen Feng instructed Zhengjiao to guard the sect, then entered a secret chamber and began cultivating with ten thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones and a stockpile of pills.
• Over the next five years, the Outer Sea suffered losses in the war between the Expansion Divine Sect and Moon-Gazing City, while the Xingfeng Sect became known in the Inner Sea for its weapons.
• Yu Hua led Beast Taming Sect cultivators into the Black Sea to buy weapons and investigate a Nascent Soul Demon Beast on the grand elder’s orders.
• Yu Hua’s group captured more than a dozen Giant Spirit Turtles with Beast Taming Rings despite Wu Lan warning that the Black Sea’s Demon Beasts belonged to the Xingfeng Sect.

Haili learned that foreign cultivators had captured Giant Spirit Turtles with a treasure capable of enslaving Demon Beasts, and mobilized the Black Sea Branch to rescue them. The branch launched its forces toward the enemy as three nuclear missiles headed for their position.

• Haili broke through to Middle Golden Core and decided to return to the sect to apply for an improved Three-Phase Bomb.
• Taiyi sounded the Black Sea Branch alarm after three Giant Spirit Turtles escaped and reported that foreign cultivators had enslaved their clanmates.
• Haili ordered Captain Pang to launch nuclear missiles and commanded the branch's forces to assemble and set out.
• One hundred Aerospace Carriers departed with high-ranking cultivators and Demon Beasts, while warships and low-ranking Demon Beasts also prepared to join the battle.
• Captain Pang ordered the launch of three Dongfeng-41 missiles, which flew toward the Beast Taming Sect and its companions from different directions.

The Beast Taming Sect party was ambushed by nuclear missiles while crossing the Black Sea, and the Blazing Fire Bird barely saved a handful of survivors. As Yu Hua and the others fled, a fleet of strange magic ships surrounded them.

• The Blazing Fire Bird sensed danger and used its innate Divine Ability to escape the first missile, whose nuclear explosion nearly killed the Beast Taming Sect party.
• Wu Lan identified the weapon as a Xingfeng Sect nuclear bomb, but Yu Hua doubted the sect had attacked them.
• Two more missiles trapped the Blazing Fire Bird between nuclear blasts, killing most of the disciples and leaving the bird gravely wounded.
• Yu Hua, Wu Lan, and five other survivors escaped by flying Law Treasure and treated their injuries while planning to contact the sect.
• More than a hundred magic ships with no detectable Spiritual Power surrounded the survivors, and Yu Hua wondered what they were.

Haili led the Xingfeng Sect's forces against Yu Hua and the surviving Beast Taming Sect disciples after they refused to return the enslaved Demon Beasts. As Yu Hua fought Haili and Wu Lan sought help from the Beast Taming Sect, True Lord Kongyou received a request to rescue Yu Hua and set out for the Black Sea with Mo Wuxie and Linghu Heng.

• Haili identified herself as an elder of the Xingfeng Sect's Black Sea Branch and demanded to know where the Beast Taming Sect had taken the Giant Spirit Turtle.
• Yu Hua refused to hand over the Demon Beasts, so Haili ordered an attack; Yu Hua released two Golden Core-level Demon Beasts and told Wu Lan to contact their sect for help.
• Haili fought Yu Hua and his two Demon Beasts while the Xingfeng Sect's cultivators and Demon Beasts attacked the rest of the Beast Taming Sect group.
• Haili lured Yu Hua away from the main battlefield, intending to use a Three-Phase Bomb against him.
• Gu Ran asked True Lord Kongyou to rescue Yu Hua, and True Lord Kongyou agreed to go to the Black Sea while cautioning Mo Wuxie and Linghu Heng that they should avoid escalating the conflict.

After five years in seclusion, Chen Feng emerged at Golden Core Great Perfection and prepared to return to the modern world to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation required for reaching the Nascent Soul Realm. He learned that Zhengjiao and Wang Hu had gone to the Black Sea to fight the Beast Taming Sect over its enslavement of local Demon Beasts.

• Xiao Ling learned that the Xingfeng Sect and the Beast Taming Sect had clashed, then set out to intervene on behalf of Moon-Gazing City.
• Liu Qian, Wang Hu, Mo Yang, and Zhou Jing debated whether to kill or capture the Beast Taming Sect members, but Zhengjiao insisted they die and took Wang Hu to the Black Sea.
• Yinyin saw Aerospace Carriers heading toward the Black Sea and resolved to pursue cultivation, then watched Chen Feng emerge from five years of seclusion.
• Chen Feng reunited with Yinyin and told Liu Qian and Zhou Jing that he had not yet reached the Nascent Soul Realm and had come out to prepare for the breakthrough.
• Chen Feng sensed Zhengjiao was far from the Xingfeng Sect, and Liu Qian explained the Black Sea conflict.

Chen Feng went to confront the Beast Taming Sect while Haili fought its cultivators in the Black Sea, where True Lord Kongyou intervened to save Yu Hua. As True Lord Kongyou cornered the Xingfeng Sect, a gigantic claw struck him from the sky and sent him crashing into the sea.

• Chen Feng left the Xingfeng Sect alone to address the Beast Taming Sect, and Liu Qian prepared the sect for trouble.
• Haili used an illusion and Three-Phase Bombs to kill Yu Hua’s two defensive Demon Beasts, but True Lord Kongyou teleported Yu Hua away from her next attack.
• Mo Wuxie rescued the surviving Beast Taming Sect cultivators, and True Lord Kongyou confronted Haili as the two sides assembled in the Black Sea.
• Xiao Ling arrived and tried to end the conflict, but Yu Hua refused to leave without killing Haili, and True Lord Kongyou used his pressure to prevent the Xingfeng Sect from withdrawing.
• An unseen attacker shouted at True Lord Kongyou and sent a gigantic claw crashing down; the claw shattered his umbrella, broke through his protective light, and knocked him into the sea.

Zhengjiao attacked the Beast Taming Sect members for enslaving the Black Sea’s Demon Beasts, while Xiao Ling and True Lord Kongyou joined forces to stop him. Chen Feng appeared just as Xiao Jingchuan was about to escort Yu Hua and the others away, and Zhengjiao anxiously asked why he had left secluded cultivation.

• Zhengjiao arrived and struck True Lord Kongyou into the sea before confronting the Beast Taming Sect members who had enslaved Demon Beasts.
• Zhengjiao attacked Yu Hua and his companions, but Xiao Ling used a fourth-tier array disk to block the blow and warned him that Chen Feng might blame him.
• Wu Lan returned dozens of Giant Spirit Turtles, but the Black Flood Dragon revealed that their minds had been wiped, provoking Zhengjiao’s fury.
• Xiao Ling and True Lord Kongyou teamed up to hold off Zhengjiao while Xiao Jingchuan prepared to take Yu Hua and the other two away.
• Chen Feng appeared beside Xiao Jingchuan, startling the cultivators with his concealed presence and bringing the battle to a halt.
• The Xingfeng Sect members greeted Chen Feng, and Zhengjiao’s coffin stopped before him as Zhengjiao quietly asked why he had come from secluded cultivation.

Chen Feng backed Zhengjiao’s decision to capture Yu Hua and the other Beast Taming Sect cultivators, then forced Kongyou City to leave the Black Sea and punished the Black Sea Branch for its failed battle. As Chen Feng and Zhengjiao departed, Zhengjiao revealed that his other soul fragments and main soul were somewhere in the Inner Sea, where finding and devouring them might let him reach Spirit Transformation.

• Chen Feng rejected Yu Hua’s promise not to retaliate, and Zhengjiao swept Yu Hua and the other two into his coffin.
• Chen Feng reminded True Lord Kongyou of the agreement barring Kongyou City from the Outer Sea, struck Linghu Heng for interrupting him, and received compensation before Kongyou City withdrew.
• Xiao Ling warned that the Beast Taming Sect would retaliate and invited Chen Feng to join Moon-Gazing City, but Chen Feng declined and Xiao Ling left.
• Haili and the Black Sea Branch knelt to accept punishment, but Chen Feng said they had been right to fight back and deducted five hundred Contribution Points from each while suspending Haili’s elder privileges.
• Chen Feng departed with Zhengjiao aboard an Aerospace Carrier, and Zhengjiao pledged to follow him and disclosed that his other soul fragments and main soul were in the Inner Sea.

Chen Feng agreed to search for Zhengjiao’s other souls after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, while the Beast Taming Sect prepared to pursue Yu Hua’s killers and Moon-Gazing City debated how to handle Chen. Jiang Bohan’s attempt to examine a dismantled fusion battery triggered a massive explosion.

• Chen Feng told Zhengjiao he would reach the Nascent Soul Realm within a month and later search for his other souls in the Inner Sea.
• Zhou Kuntai learned that Yu Hua had died and set out to seek the Cultivation Alliance’s permission to go to the Outer Sea for revenge.
• Jiang Bohan told Xiao Ling he could not protect the Xingfeng Sect but would save Chen Feng and try to bring him into Moon-Gazing City.
• Jiang Jiu told Jiang Bohan that artifact refiners could not reassemble the dismantled dharma ships and showed him their fusion battery.
• Jiang Bohan injected Spiritual Power into the fusion battery, causing it to explode and create a huge mushroom cloud over his cave abode.

After a fusion battery explosion destroyed Jiang Bohan’s cave abode, Chen Feng reviewed the Xingfeng Sect’s growth and returned to the modern world. There, Jack learned that Eagle Sauce Country had produced a superhuman soldier, leaving him shocked by the video.

• Jiang Jiu told Jiang Bohan that the mysterious device exploded when probed with Spiritual Power, and Jiang Bohan decided to wait for a crisis at the Xingfeng Sect so he could rescue Chen Feng and learn how it was made.
• Chen Feng reviewed the Xingfeng Sect’s expanding factories and forces, then entered seclusion after telling Liu Qian to seek Zhengjiao’s help if trouble arose.
• Jack refused Gaul’s offer to buy Aerospace Carrier technology, and Wild Wolf reported that their agents had filmed something unusual in Eagle Sauce Country.
• Jack watched footage of Eagle Sauce Country special forces fighting terrorists and saw one soldier grow larger before charging at them.

Chen Feng returned to the Golden Triangle, checked on its development, and visited Lin Wei and the research institutes. He saw the completed space-based laser weapon’s test results and realized it could threaten even a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

• Jack briefed Chen Feng on the superpowered people discovered in Eagle Sauce Country, and Chen Feng told him to focus on developing the Golden Triangle.
• Jack decided to take the Soul-Refining Banner to a conflict zone to strengthen himself and protect his standing with Chen Feng.
• Lin Wei showed Chen Feng her completed Three-Phase Bomb, and Chen Feng asked her to hand over the plans and stop researching it.
• Chen Feng visited Tuosen’s research team and watched a test video showing the space-based weapon’s laser pierce a distant mountain.
• Tuosen explained that the laser reached two million kilowatts, and Chen Feng judged it fast and powerful enough to kill an unprepared Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Chen Feng completed work in the Golden Triangle, named the new space-based weapon the Sword of Xingfeng, and returned to Dragon Country to visit Xingfeng Group. There, Li Xiaorou struggled with dwindling raw-material supplies and worried that Chen Feng had been gone too long, so she planned to travel to Shan State to find out whether he was with Lin Wei.

• Chen Feng learned that the space-based weapon needed five minutes to cool after each shot, named it the Sword of Xingfeng, and stored it away to test later in the Painting Scroll World.
• Chen Feng spent three days checking the Golden Triangle's research institutes, gave Taiyi's five years of data to the artificial intelligence team, and supplied pills to the exhausted biological researchers.
• Chen Feng returned to Dragon Country and flew to Yun Province to visit Xingfeng Group.
• At a senior management meeting, Li Xiaorou told the Eagle Sauce Country manager to ignore lawsuits and said Xingfeng Group would withdraw from that market if it was fined.
• Xingfeng Mining's head and the pill-production executive warned Li Xiaorou that their raw materials were running low, but she assured them that supplies would arrive.
• After the meeting, Li Xiaorou told her assistant to book a flight to Shan State because she suspected Chen Feng was with Lin Wei and worried about his long absence.

After returning from more than six months away, Chen Feng restocked the Xingfeng Group and traveled with Li Xiaorou through Dragon Country to calm his mind before forming his Nascent Soul. As they climbed Mount Tai, Yan Lixing’s squad spotted spies following them and waited for a safer place to act.

• Chen Feng reunited with Li Xiaorou, promised to keep in touch, and supplied the Xingfeng Group’s warehouse with enough materials to last a year.
• Chen Feng met Yan Lixing’s squad, received a briefcase containing a martial cultivation method and pill from Liu Mu, and announced that he planned to travel.
• Chen Feng and Li Xiaorou toured Yun Province and other parts of Dragon Country before arriving in Eastern Province to climb Mount Tai.
• As Chen Feng climbed Mount Tai, he felt his heart was at peace and believed he could form his Nascent Soul after the trip.
• Yan Lixing learned that spies were following the group and ordered his squad to watch them until they left Mount Tai.

CIA agents and members of the Superpowered Marine Corps attacked Li Xiaorou on Mount Tai, while Chen Feng remained focused on his cultivation as he climbed toward Jade Emperor Peak. Yan Lixing’s team fought to hold off the attackers, and the chapter ended with Yan Lixing facing Number Fifteen in combat.

• A CIA agent at Mount Tai learned that three Superpowered Marine Corps members were coming to help capture Li Xiaorou, and Chad’s team waited in the woods for them.
• Number Seven arrived with Numbers Fourteen and Fifteen, then climbed a sheer cliff using his evolved abilities while Chad led the others toward the summit.
• Chen Feng climbed toward Jade Emperor Peak with Li Xiaorou, intent on forming his nascent soul, while Yan Lixing warned his team that an attack was likely at the summit.
• Chad’s agents charged Yan Lixing’s team near the Southern Heavenly Gate, and the two sides began fighting hand to hand as tourists fled.
• Number Fifteen tried to reach Chen Feng and Li Xiaorou, but Yan Lixing intercepted him, and the two martial artists exchanged blows.

Chen Feng began forming a Nascent Soul on Jade Emperor Peak, and its birth unleashed Spiritual Qi and a seven-colored phenomenon across Mount Tai. As visitors and fighters rushed toward the summit, Number Seven abandoned his mission to capture Li Xiaorou and hurried toward the source of the power.

• Yan Lixing fought Number Fifteen, then faced both Number Fifteen and Number Fourteen while ordering his squad to deal with the other agents quickly.
• Chen Feng sensed faint Spiritual Qi on Mount Tai and began breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm with infant-condensing spiritual treasures.
• Chen Feng formed a three-inch Nascent Soul, releasing Spiritual Qi that cleansed nearby tourists and rapidly transformed plants across Mount Tai beneath a seven-colored sky.
• Yan Lixing and the Eagle Sauce Country agents stopped fighting and headed toward Jade Emperor Peak after sensing the phenomenon; Yan Lixing also broke through to the Postnatal Fourth Layer.
• Number Seven felt the Spiritual Qi strengthen him, abandoned his plan to capture Li Xiaorou, and raced toward Jade Emperor Peak to find its source.

Chen Feng passed the Nascent Soul state-of-mind trial after resisting an illusion in which a powerful cultivator destroyed the Xingfeng Sect and killed those he cared about. As his Nascent Soul formed on Jade Emperor Peak, Number Seven arrived to capture Li Xiaorou but died after Chen Feng’s uncontrolled presence overwhelmed him.

• Chen Feng endured an illusion spanning more than a century, in which a foreign-domain cultivator slaughtered the Xingfeng Sect and Chen Feng’s friends and family, but he recognized the illusion and broke free.
• Chen Feng’s Divine Soul and Spiritual Sense fused with his Nascent Soul, and he resolved to stop the Xingfeng Sect’s expansion and develop in secret.
• Number Seven climbed onto Jade Emperor Peak, spotted Li Xiaorou, and prepared to capture her for the general’s mission.
• The seven-colored radiance descended into Chen Feng as he formed his Nascent Soul, and his gaze struck Number Seven with overwhelming power.
• Number Seven’s Demon Power rampaged through his body until he died, asking Chen Feng who he was.

Chen Feng faced the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation above Mount Tai, while its heavenly might and lightning terrified people across the mountain. As Colonel Liu sealed off Mount Tai and sent soldiers to search for Yan Lixing, the tribulation continued and Chen Feng’s fate remained unclear.

• Chen Feng’s Divine Sense killed Number Seven, and he sent Li Xiaorou down the mountain as dark clouds gathered over Mount Tai.
• Yan Lixing’s squad encountered Chad and his men beside Number Seven’s corpse, exchanged gunfire, and pursued them as they tried to withdraw.
• Chen Feng rose into the clouds and faced the Heavenly Tribulation, blocking its first three lightning bolts and charging into the next attacks.
• The tribulation’s heavenly might immobilized people across Mount Tai, prompting the military to seal the mountain and prepare medical support.
• Colonel Liu reported that a supernatural incident had disrupted communications and movement, then sent two hundred soldiers to find Yan Lixing and his people.

Chen Feng survived the final bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation and became a true Nascent Soul Cultivator, gaining a Teleportation Divine Ability and greatly expanded Divine Sense. When his Divine Sense sent Colonel Zhang’s helicopter into a fatal dive, Chen Feng rescued it from afar, leaving Colonel Zhang shaken and retreating.

• Number Fourteen and Number Fifteen fled down a steep slope, and Yan Lixing pursued them while Chad and the other agents were left behind.
• Chen Feng endured the final purple lightning bolt, emerged unharmed from the collapsed peak, and completed his transformation into a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
• Chen Feng discovered that he could teleport about ten kilometers at a time, though using the ability consumed his Nascent Soul’s spiritual essence.
• Chen Feng unleashed his Divine Sense across a vast area, causing Colonel Zhang’s helicopter to lose control as it approached the collapsed peak.
• Chen Feng stopped the helicopter from crashing and lifted it back into the air, prompting Colonel Zhang to order the aircraft to retreat.

Chen Feng restored Mount Tai after his tribulation and secretly killed the two Eagle Sauce Country martial artists fleeing from Yan Lixing. Back in Washington, John confronted Qiefusi over the losses in Dragon Country, and learned that Qiefusi’s own operatives had also died there.

• Chen Feng repaired the collapsed mountain peak, then used his Divine Sense to kill Number Fourteen and Number Fifteen as they fled Yan Lixing.
• Yan Lixing found the two men dead and reported that a powerful extraordinary individual was operating in Dragon Country.

Chen Feng returned to the Golden Triangle, collected 300 Starlink satellites, and prepared to deploy them from an Aerospace Carrier as space-based weapons. He returned to the Painting Scroll World and arrived at the Xingfeng Sect, where Zhengjiao sensed that Chen Feng had broken through to Nascent Soul.

• Qiefusi told John that a powerful Dragon Country transcendent had killed Number Seven, then suggested Jack might have provided Dragon Country with advanced cultivation methods.
• Qiefusi agreed to target Jack and X in exchange for John's support in the upcoming presidential election, and planned to wait until two martial artists reached Houtian Third Stage before sending the full force.
• Chen Feng returned to the Golden Triangle, warned Jack not to overuse the Soul-Refining Banner, and left the region in his care.
• Chen Feng brought 300 Starlink satellites to the Xingfeng Sect and told the monitoring staff to calibrate them, explaining that he would take them into space aboard an Aerospace Carrier.
• Liu Qian came to greet Chen Feng as Yue Yao, Zhengjiao, and Wang Hu arrived in Aerospace Carriers, and Zhengjiao sensed Chen Feng's cultivation breakthrough.
