Chapter Summaries

Chen Feng prepared to install a space-based weapon beyond Canglan Star, while Zhengjiao warned him that a planet-guarding formation could destroy anyone who left. After seven days surveying the Northern Border’s rapid development, Chen Feng stood above its expanding settlements, ready to head into the stars.

• Chen Feng gave Yue Yao blueprints for a million-ton Three-Phase Bomb and cautioned that even it could only kill a Nascent Soul cultivator by catching them off guard.
• Chen Feng told Liu Qian to prepare flying vessels so he could install a space-based weapon, and Zhengjiao warned that Canglan Star’s formation annihilated unauthorized departures.
• Chen Feng refused to take Wang Hu into space and told Yue Yao he could not yet introduce her to his friend on Earth.
• Zhengjiao marveled at Chen Feng’s Nascent Soul breakthrough and Star Body cultivation, then agreed to travel into space protected by Chen Feng’s Star Energy.
• After seven days exploring the Northern Border, Chen Feng observed its growth, including sheet-metal homes and settlements powered by the Xingfeng Sect’s fusion engines.

Chen Feng discovered that worshippers’ statues produced Power of Faith, which strengthened his Nascent Soul’s Spiritual Rhyme and let him prepare for his journey to the Inner Sea. He then took the Luan Bird Aerospace Carrier into orbit to install a weapon, protecting Zhengjiao from the dangerous Alien Spiritual Qi as they left Canglan Star.

• Chen Feng found that the statues of him in Northern Border villages produced Power of Faith, and he absorbed it to increase his Spiritual Rhyme.
• Chen Feng collected Power of Faith across the Northern Border until his Nascent Soul could barely contain it, giving him enough Spiritual Rhyme for more than fifty uses of Teleportation.
• Liu Qian told Chen Feng that the three hundred satellites were ready, and Chen Feng boarded the Luan Bird Aerospace Carrier to leave for space.
• Chen Feng told Zhengjiao he intended to install a weapon in space, then wrapped Zhengjiao in Star Energy as the carrier passed through Canglan Star’s atmosphere.
• Chen Feng and Zhengjiao reached orbit, where Chen Feng sensed the dangerous Alien Spiritual Qi and steered the carrier toward its designated position.

Chen Feng and Zhengjiao deployed three hundred satellites around Canglan Star, then installed and tested the Sword of Xingfeng over the Outer Sea. The weapon struck near True Lord Kongyou without warning, leaving him and Gu Ran alarmed and unaware of who had attacked.

• Chen Feng and Zhengjiao deployed all three hundred satellites in low orbit around Canglan Star.

• True Lord Kongyou searched Kongyou City and called out to the unknown attacker while Gu Ran waited in silence.

Chen Feng confronted the Beast Taming Sect cultivators and refused to reconcile, then killed Zhou Kuntai instantly with a mysterious red beam. Mu Yun fled while the witnesses tried to understand the attack, and Jiang Bohan offered two possible explanations.

• Liu Si identified Zhou Kuntai's Heavenly Demon Bull as a powerful Nascent Soul beast, while Mu Yun questioned the Xingfeng Sect's intentions.
• Chen Feng arrived at the Black Sea Branch and told Mu Yun and Zhou Kuntai that the Beast Taming Sect had provoked the Xingfeng Sect by enslaving its Demon Beasts.
• Chen Feng rejected any prospect of peace, declared Zhou Kuntai's death, and a red beam vaporized Zhou Kuntai and his Nascent Soul.
• Mu Yun fled, and the surviving cultivators stared in shock as the Heavenly Demon Bull died from the backlash of its master's death.
• Jiang Bohan told Xiao Ling that Chen Feng might have used the legendary Death Incantation Technique or that a Spirit Transformation cultivator had attacked secretly.

Chen Feng killed Zhou Kuntai with the Xingfeng Sect’s space-based weapon, then let Mu Yun believe a hidden Spirit Transformation cultivator was responsible. After Mu Yun apologized and paid compensation, Chen Feng secretly killed him as well, leaving Xiao Ling shocked by the news.

• Chen Feng killed Zhou Kuntai instantly with a laser fired from the space-based weapon, shocking the cultivators and strengthening the Xingfeng Sect’s confidence.

• At the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, golden light revealed a change to the Wind and Cloud Ranking, and onlookers saw that its top ten factions remained unchanged.

The Xingfeng Sect’s appearance at twenty-first place on the Wind and Cloud Ranking astonished Inner Sea cultivators, who learned that the Outer Sea power was suspected of being able to contend with a Spirit Transformation cultivator. At the Beast Taming Sect, Jiu borrowed the Heavenly Secrets Rope to investigate how Zhou Kuntai died, and began asking it about the killing.

• The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion ranked the Xingfeng Sect twenty-first, prompting cultivators to buy information and learn that Chen of the Northern Territory had killed a Beast Taming Sect Nascent Soul Cultivator and that the sect could contend with a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
• Cultivators across the Inner Sea spread news of the Xingfeng Sect’s rise, while some speculated that it had gained an inheritance from High Antiquity.

• Jiu asked the red-faced elder to lend him the Heavenly Secrets Rope so he could repay his debt to Zhou Kuntai; the elder accepted a Crimson Primordial Pill in exchange.
• Jiu entered the Heavenly Secrets Rope’s gray space and asked the mist how Zhou Kuntai had died.

After a Beast Taming Sect elder died while using the Heavenly Secrets Rope to investigate the Xingfeng Sect, Chen Feng prepared to travel to the Inner Sea. He left the sect’s affairs with Liu Qian and departed with plans to contact Xingfeng’s intelligence agents.

• The Heavenly Secrets Rope showed Junior Brother Qiu a blurred Chen Feng and a massive object beyond Canglan Star before Qiu died, having lost over a thousand years of lifespan.

• Chen Feng questioned Lu Guo about the Expansion Divine Sect and learned that Lu Guo’s Lineage was in Flint City, near the sect.
• After seven days, Chen Feng’s Aerospace Carrier entered the Boundary Sea Region, where he noticed an old acquaintance and changed course.

• Chen Feng appeared, stopped Guan Xing’s whip, and told him that Xiao Jianmu was under his protection.
• Guan Xing’s False Core servant fled, but Chen Feng’s words shattered his False Core and destroyed his body, leaving only his Divine Soul.

Chen Feng crossed the Storm Sea Region into the Inner Sea after revealing his Nascent Soul strength and rescuing Xiao Jianmu. He emerged alone at an exit where bandit cultivators were waiting to ambush Outer Sea arrivals.

• Chen Feng gave Xiao Jianmu precious pills, declared their karma settled, and returned to the Aerospace Carrier.
• Zhengjiao identified the Storm Sea Region as a barrier created by a powerful Spirit Treasure, and Chen Feng used Zhengjiao's Divine Soul to protect the carrier from its gales.
• Zuo Poxing held his Star-Breaking Cult back from joining the bandits gathering at the exit because the Outer Sea cultivators had arrived earlier than expected.
• Chen Feng emerged from the Storm Sea Region after half a month of travel and looked over the Inner Sea.

Chen Feng arrived in the Inner Sea, learned from Zuo Poxing about the Southern Region, and spared him in exchange for his loyalty and a soul fragment. He concealed his identity by accepting the title of patriarch of the Star-Breaking Cult and sent Zuo Poxing to investigate the Lu Household before pursuing Lu Guo's lead.

• Chen Feng learned that the Lu Household of Flint City was a major Lineage affiliated with the Expansion Divine Sect and ordered Zuo Poxing to investigate its recent movements.

Chen Feng learned that Lu Guo had concealed the Lu Household's Nascent Soul ancestor and ordered Zuo Poxing to destroy the household, giving him Three-Phase Bombs to kill its Golden Core cultivators. In Flint City, the Lu Household learned Lu Guo's life tablet had shattered, and Lu Sicheng visited the ancestor, who was studying the Great Expansion Divine Art.

• Zuo Poxing reported that three Lu Household Golden Core cultivators had attacked his group and killed everyone except him.

Meanwhile, Zuo Poxing challenged the Lu Household outside Flint City and used a mysterious Law Treasure to kill its third elder, leaving the battle unresolved.

• The Lu Household's patriarch told Lu Sicheng that Lu Guo’s shattered life tablet and Chen of the Northern Territory’s strength made relocating to the Xuanfei Realm necessary to protect the household’s stolen Cultivation Methods.
• Lu Sicheng learned that Zuo Poxing and the Star-Breaking Cult had arrived outside Flint City, but ordered the Lu Household’s third elder to deal with them.
• Zuo Poxing brought fewer than twenty followers to Flint City, where Xu Hui and He Menghan watched as he openly challenged the Lu Household.
• The Lu Household's third elder attacked Zuo Poxing with a supreme-grade Law Treasure, and Zuo Poxing released Yin Qi from a small cauldron to obscure the fight.

• A Lu Household cultivator demanded to know what Zuo Poxing had done to his third brother, not yet realizing that Zuo Poxing had killed him.

As the Star-Breaking Cult established itself in Flint City, the He Household visited to negotiate over the city’s flint veins, and He Shouyang agreed to let the cult take them.

• Chen Feng studied the Great Expansion Divine Art and the complete Soul Control Technique, but decided not to cultivate the Soul Control Technique because its costs were unclear.

• He Shouyang led He Menghan, Xu Hui, and other He Household cultivators to visit Zuo Poxing and ask whether the Star-Breaking Cult intended to establish itself in Flint City.
• A He Household elder challenged the Star-Breaking Cult’s takeover of the flint veins, but Zuo Poxing said they belonged to the cult as part of the Lu Household’s territory.
• He Shouyang accepted that the Star-Breaking Cult could take all the flint veins because the old agreement had been with the Lu Household.
