Chapter Summaries

At the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce auction, Chen Feng arrived disguised as Hua Xuanzi and attracted the attention of the Expansion Divine Sect and Moon-Gazing City, both of which considered recruiting him. He began bidding on lots while waiting for the Stars Body-Refining Instruction, as He Menghan left to deliver information at his request.

• Clear Blaze Sect, Expansion Divine Sect, and Moon-Gazing City members gathered at the auction entrance, where Luo Qian mocked Liu Qingqing for losing to Hua Xuanzi.
• Zuo Poxing introduced Chen Feng as the Star-Breaking Cult's patriarch, and Chen Feng blocked Gu Ran's Divine Sense probe before Qu Jing led him to a private room.
• Liu Qingqing and Jiang Jiu each agreed to approach Chen Feng after the auction and see whether he could be recruited.
• Chen Feng told He Menghan to take information to Moon-Gazing City's private room, then instructed Zuo Poxing and Elder Meng to bid on the lots.
• Zuo Poxing won a bottle of six Origin-Nurturing Pills for 3,500 Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones while Chen Feng waited for the Stars Body-Refining Instruction.

At an auction, Chen Feng learned about the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty when its masked princess outbid Moon-Gazing City and the Expansion Divine Sect for ten Aerospace Carriers. The auction ended with He Menghan warning Luo Qian that Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Expansion Divine Sect had gathered outside Immortal Treasure City.

• Chen Feng examined an unbreakable wooden sword, but Zhengjiao said he knew nothing about its origin or purpose.
• Qu Jing auctioned ten Aerospace Carriers, and bidders from the Clear Blaze Sect, Moon-Gazing City, and the Expansion Divine Sect competed for them.
• A masked woman from Great Zhou outbid Luo Qian and Liu Qingqing, revealed her dynasty’s identity, and won the carriers; she then ordered Elder Kong to send them to the Artifact Refining Pavilion for study.
• The woman told Elder Kong that they would travel to the Outer Sea if they received no news from Falling Rosy Clouds Valley.
• He Menghan entered Luo Qian’s box and warned him that many Expansion Divine Sect Nascent Soul Cultivators had appeared outside Immortal Treasure City.

Chen Feng used the rivalry between Moon-Gazing City and the Expansion Divine Sect to prepare an escape route, then won the auction for a rare Nascent Soul-Nurturing Pill. He had no Spirit Stones on hand to pay, so he sent the chamber of commerce a distinguished guest token, leaving the auction stalled as guards gathered outside his room.

• Luo Qian learned that Expansion Divine Sect cultivators had set up an ambush outside Immortal Treasure City and contacted his big brother while Chen Feng explained how he had identified the trap and planned to exploit the factions' conflict.
• Chen Feng bought a fifth-tier defensive and concealing formation for Ge Yunxuan and the others as the auction approached its finale.
• Elder Xie presented a Nascent Soul-Nurturing Pill, and the bidding climbed to 310,000 Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones before Chen Feng won it from private room nine.
• Yan Hong ordered an investigation into Chen Feng's identity after losing the pill, while several other Nascent Soul Cultivators also became interested in the buyer.
• When the chamber of commerce's maid asked for payment, Chen Feng handed her a distinguished guest token for Qu Jing, since he lacked the Spirit Stones and intended to settle the debt through his partnership with the chamber.
• The auction remained halted, the crowd speculated that Chen Feng could not pay, and Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce guards took positions outside private room nine.

At the auction, Chen Feng’s honored guest token persuaded the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce to cover his 310,000 Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone bill, stunning the other bidders. The Great Zhou princess’s Seven-Colored Rabbit sensed a possible Innate Spirit Treasure in his room, while Chen Feng let Qu Jing visit him.

• Liu Qingqing urged Gu Ran to help Chen Feng, but Gu Ran refused and focused on the mysterious cultivator.
• When Chen Feng did not pay for the Nascent Soul-Nurturing Pill, Elder Xie exposed his identity as Hua Xuanzi, and Yan Hong mocked him before the crowd.
• After Qu Jing showed Elder Xie Chen Feng’s honored guest token, Elder Xie apologized and said the chamber would cover the Spirit Stones.
• Luo Qian decided to approach Chen Feng after the auction, while Gu Ran wondered whether Hua Xuanzi was the mysterious cultivator.
• Dabao, the Great Zhou princess’s Seven-Colored Rabbit, sensed a possible Innate Spirit Treasure in Chen Feng’s room, so the princess planned to meet him after the auction.
• Chen Feng declined to bid on the Tribulation-Resolving Great Technique and admitted Qu Jing, knowing she would recognize the token he had used to secure the chamber’s support.

Chen Feng used Hua Xuanzi’s identity at the auction, where Zhang Jin bought the Stars Body-Refining Instruction on Chen Feng’s behalf. After Chen Feng rejected Moon-Gazing City’s recruitment, the Expansion Divine Sect tried to seize Zhang Jin, but Immortal Treasure City’s elders intervened.

• Qu Jing recognized Hua Xuanzi’s honored guest token as connected to the Xingfeng Sect and agreed to extend him three hundred thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.
• Elder Xie introduced the Stars Body-Refining Instruction, and Zhang Jin bought it for sixty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones while Gu Ran watched for the mysterious cultivator.
• Chen Feng told Zhengjiao that Zhang Jin had bought the instruction for them, then rejected Luo Qian’s offer to make him a deputy commander of Moon-Gazing City.
• After the auction, Gu Ran and Liu Qingqing cornered Zhang Jin and Gu Ran tried to perform a Soul Search, but a Nascent Soul Late Stage elder from Immortal Treasure City stopped him.

The Expansion Divine Sect tried to take Zhang Jin and his belongings after the auction, but Elder Xie and the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce challenged their actions. Chen Feng revealed to Zhengjiao that Zhang Jin had secretly sent him the Stars Body-Refining Instruction via Bluetooth, while Gu Ran exposed his Nascent Soul great perfection cultivation to pressure the chamber of commerce.

• Luo Qian accused Liu Qingqing and Gu Ran of robbing Zhang Jin, and Zhang Jin pleaded that he did not know how he had offended the Expansion Divine Sect.
• At Gu Ran's request, Zhang Jin emptied his storage ring and offered all his belongings, including more than twenty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones and the Stars Body-Refining Instruction.
• Liu Qingqing questioned whether they had mistaken Zhang Jin for the person who leaked the Cultivation Method, since he had been under their watch throughout the auction.
• Chen Feng told Zhengjiao that Zhang Jin had photographed the Stars Body-Refining Instruction and sent it to him using Bluetooth transfer, and explained that he had arranged for Qu Jing to help protect Zhang Jin.
• Elder Xie objected when Gu Ran demanded to take Zhang Jin away, but Gu Ran revealed his Nascent Soul great perfection cultivation and the crowd recognized him as the Expansion Divine Sect's grand elder.

Gu Ran reclaimed the Stars Body-Refining Instruction from Zhang Jin, while the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce protected Zhang Jin and the Expansion Divine Sect tightened its surveillance outside Immortal Treasure City. As Chen Feng and his companions departed with the instruction, an unknown masked woman in red appeared in their path.

• Gu Ran took the Stars Body-Refining Instruction from Zhang Jin, paid him sixty thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, and left after the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce refused to surrender him.
• Elder Xie promised Zhang Jin protection in Immortal Treasure City, and Zhang Jin realized his smartphone had been destroyed after he sent the instruction to Chen Feng.
• Gu Ran ordered his people to watch Zhang Jin and question cultivators leaving the city, while Liu Qingqing said she wanted to recruit Hua Xuanzi and Gu Ran warned that Great Zhou had already taken an interest in him.
• Chen Feng left the city with Zuo Poxing, Elder Meng, and He Menghan, then tried Elder Meng's soul-blood method on the wooden sword, but it showed no reaction.
• A masked woman in red and an elderly servant appeared in midair before Chen Feng and his companions, catching Chen Feng by surprise.

Chen Feng was confronted by a woman from the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty who demanded his storage ring and used her True Words Divine Ability and Fire Domain against him. After Chen Feng resisted her attacks and her attempt to trap him, he charged through the flames and met her fist with his own.

• The woman in the red dress identified Chen Feng with a red rabbit and demanded his storage ring, while her words nearly shattered Elder Meng's Golden Core.
• Chen Feng sent Zuo Poxing, He Menghan, and Elder Meng away, and Elder Meng recognized the attackers as members of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, whose True Words Divine Ability could slay with spoken words.
• The woman in the red dress used her True Words Divine Ability against Chen Feng, but he steadied his Spiritual Power with Star Energy.
• The woman revealed her Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation and created a Fire Domain that burned away nearby Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and sealed off teleportation.
• Chen Feng transformed, rushed through the golden flames, and collided fists with the woman in the red dress, extinguishing the flames around them and creating fine spatial rifts.

Chen Feng fought the red-dressed eldest princess of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, then fled when Elder Kong revealed his Half-Step Spirit Transformation strength. The princess and Elder Kong pursued him, with Elder Kong using Shrinking the Ground to an Inch to catch up.

• Chen Feng exchanged powerful blows with the red-dressed woman, whose spear pierced his fist while his palm strike cracked her spear and sent her flying.
• Zhengjiao warned Chen Feng that Elder Kong was at Half-Step Spirit Transformation, so Chen Feng stopped fighting and fled the sealed area.
• The woman chased Chen Feng, and he threw three Three-Phase Bombs at her, leaving her and Elder Kong disheveled while he escaped.
• The woman insisted on pursuing Chen Feng herself, and Elder Kong detected him using Teleportation repeatedly.
• Elder Kong enveloped the woman in Spiritual Power and used Shrinking the Ground to an Inch to travel dozens of kilometers in pursuit of Chen Feng.

Chen Feng fled Nangong Yanyue and Elder Kong, then crashed into a battle between the Expansion Divine Sect and Moon-Gazing City and urged Gu Ran to delay his pursuers. Nangong Yanyue attacked the battlefield, killing Expansion Divine Sect cultivators before Elder Kong stopped her and the pair resumed their chase.

• Chen Feng headed back toward Immortal Treasure City and detonated Three-Phase Bombs to slow Nangong Yanyue and Elder Kong as they pursued him.
• Chen Feng found Gu Ran and Liu Qingqing fighting Luo Qian and Moon-Gazing City cultivators, then killed an Expansion Divine Sect Nascent Soul Cultivator and told Gu Ran to stop the two people chasing him.
• Gu Ran recognized Chen Feng and prepared to pursue him, but Nangong Yanyue and Elder Kong arrived, and Nangong Yanyue unleashed her Sacred Fire Domain.
• Nangong Yanyue attacked Gu Ran, whose secret technique let him evade her spear, while the Sacred Fire Domain burned two Expansion Divine Sect cultivators down to their Nascent Souls.
• Elder Kong suppressed the Sacred Fire Domain and stopped Nangong Yanyue from attacking again; Nangong Yanyue and Elder Kong then continued after Chen Feng.

Chen Feng fled Great Zhou’s Nangong Yanyue and Elder Kong through Immortal Treasure City and into the Storm Sea Region, but they caught up with him. Nangong Yanyue revealed that she had first pursued him for an object he possessed and now had become interested in him.

• After Great Zhou left, Gu Ran and Liu Qingqing led the Expansion Divine Sect away and decided to report the incident to their sect master and the Cultivation Alliance.
• Nangong Yanyue and Elder Kong pursued Chen Feng into Immortal Treasure City, but he escaped to Jade Firmament City through a teleportation array; Elder Kong had secretly placed a Divine Sense Mark on him.
• Elder Xie and the other city leaders identified Nangong Yanyue and Zhou Kong, but decided the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce would not interfere in their pursuit.
• Chen Feng used Teleportation to reach the Storm Sea Region, where Zhengjiao carried him onward and the region’s chaotic space hindered pursuit.
• Nangong Yanyue and Elder Kong caught Chen Feng and Zhengjiao in the Storm Sea Region, and Nangong Yanyue said she had pursued Chen Feng first for something he possessed and was now interested in him.

Chen Feng fought Nangong Yanyue after she challenged him, but her powerful techniques and protective treasure kept him from defeating her. With Elder Kong closing in and his own body badly injured, Chen Feng ordered Zhengjiao to self-destruct.

• Nangong Yanyue attacked Chen Feng with her Sacred Fire Domain and Space-Rending spear strike, but Chen Feng stopped the spear with his hands and suffered severe injuries.
• Chen Feng counterattacked at close range while five Nascent Soul Demon Beasts attacked Nangong Yanyue together.
• Elder Kong tried to intervene, but Zhengjiao grew huge, blocked his golden hand, and hurled Three-Phase Bombs at him.
• Nangong Yanyue's protective treasure repelled Chen Feng and the five Demon Beasts' attacks, leaving them injured while she remained unharmed.
• Seeing Elder Kong about to break through and knowing he had little time, Chen Feng ordered Zhengjiao to self-destruct.

Chen Feng and Zhengjiao survived the self-destruction of four Nascent Soul Demon Beasts, defeated Nangong Yanyue, and escaped aboard an Aerospace Carrier with her Nascent Soul captured. Elder Kong pursued them toward the Outer Sea, while Chen Feng began healing and demanded that Nangong Yanyue erase her Divine Sense from her storage ring.

• Zhengjiao ordered four Nascent Soul Demon Beasts to self-destruct, and the blasts left Chen Feng, Zhengjiao, and Nangong Yanyue gravely injured.
• Chen Feng destroyed Nangong Yanyue’s body, captured her Nascent Soul, and forced Elder Kong to hand over his storage ring and retreat.
• Chen Feng took Nangong Yanyue’s storage ring and red spear, then left with Zhengjiao while warning Elder Kong not to follow closely.
• Elder Kong secretly pursued Chen Feng and vowed to extract his soul and refine his spirit.
• Aboard an Aerospace Carrier, Chen Feng began healing and told Zhengjiao he could kill Elder Kong once they reached the Outer Sea.
• Chen Feng failed to open Nangong Yanyue’s storage ring and ordered her to erase her Divine Sense imprint.

Chen Feng used a space-based weapon to kill Elder Kong after the half-step Spirit Transformation cultivator escaped his first strike by possessing a new body. He then tried to question Nangong Yanyue, but Great Zhou's national fortune protected her Divine Soul until Chen Feng ordered Zhengjiao to seal her inside the Soul-Locking Six Spirits Pillar.

• Chen Feng stabilized his injuries while the Aerospace Carrier crossed into the Boundary Sea Region, then asked Taiyi to deploy a space-based weapon against Elder Kong.
• Elder Kong's first laser strike destroyed his body, but he escaped as a Nascent Soul and possessed a Golden Core cultivator on a nearby island.
• The satellites tracked Elder Kong in his new body, and a second laser strike destroyed his body and Divine Soul.
• Chen Feng destroyed Nangong Yanyue's Nascent Soul and seized her Divine Soul, but Great Zhou's national fortune began recalling her.
• Chen Feng ordered Zhengjiao to use the Soul-Locking Six Spirits Pillar, which suppressed Nangong Yanyue's Divine Soul and blocked the national fortune's summons.
• As Zhengjiao struggled to maintain the suppression, Chen Feng ordered him to take Nangong Yanyue into the pillar and make her a new Divine Soul totem.

Chen Feng trapped Nangong Yanyue's Divine Soul in the Soul-Locking Six Spirits Pillar and learned she had hunted him because her Treasure-Seeking Rabbit sensed an Innate Spirit Treasure. Her father, Great Zhou Holy Emperor Nangong Wentian, sensed trouble and tried to enter the Southern Region, leaving the region's powerful cultivators alarmed; Chen Feng resolved to recover and grow stronger.

• Zhengjiao trapped Nangong Yanyue's Divine Soul in the Soul-Locking Six Spirits Pillar, but could not fully control her.
• The Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty's fortune dragon roared, and Nangong Wentian learned Zhou Kong's life tablet had shattered and feared for his daughter.
• Nangong Wentian sent his Primordial Spirit toward the Southern Region, but an elderly phantom invoked the Cultivation Alliance's rules against his crossing.
• Nangong Wentian unleashed his Sacred Fire Domain over much of the Southern Region, awakening powerful figures including a woman beneath the Expansion Divine Sect and an elderly man in Moon-Gazing City.
• Chen Feng questioned the briefly controlled Nangong Yanyue and learned her Treasure-Seeking Rabbit had detected an Innate Spirit Treasure on him.
• Nangong Yanyue regained control before Chen Feng could learn whether other Great Zhou people knew of the hunt, so Zhengjiao pulled her back into the pillar; Chen Feng decided to recover and strengthen himself before examining her storage ring.

Chen Feng searched Nangong Yanyue’s enormous storage ring and found abundant resources, powerful treasures, talismans, and a Treasure-Seeking Rabbit. After checking Elder Kong’s ring, he began healing and decided to avoid the Inner Sea while he strengthened himself.

• Chen Feng found nearly one and a half million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, pills, and ancient spirit medicines in Nangong Yanyue’s storage ring.
• Chen Feng discovered a defensive soft armor and a powerful Divine Fire Fan; he unleashed the fan’s flames, then let Zhengjiao study it after Zhengjiao recognized a vermilion bird feather.
• Chen Feng found six Spirit Transformation-level talismans and released Nangong Yanyue’s Treasure-Seeking Rabbit, which quickly submitted but remained bound to her contract.
• Chen Feng examined Nangong Yanyue’s red spear but could not activate it, then found only a few tens of thousands of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones in Elder Kong’s storage ring.
• Chen Feng used a healing pill, resumed treating his injuries, and decided to cultivate in seclusion rather than return to the Inner Sea.

After a month of recovery, Chen Feng emerged from seclusion as the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion investigated the disappearance of Great Zhou's eldest princess and questioned the Star-Breaking Cult. Zuo Poxing set out to find Chen Feng before the investigation escalated, while Chen Feng prepared to learn what had happened outside.

• The Expansion Divine Sect and Moon-Gazing City stopped fighting after Great Zhou's Holy Emperor battled a Cultivation Alliance expert, and the alliance began searching for the missing Nangong Yanyue.
• Heavenly Secrets Pavilion envoys Liu Si and Yue Qianshan questioned Zuo Poxing, Elder Meng, and He Menghan about the auction and Chen Feng, who was missing from the Star-Breaking Cult.
• Liu Si told Yue Qianshan that Great Zhou might conduct Soul Searches if Hua Xuanzi did not appear, and Yue Qianshan agreed to contact his granddaughter Yue Yao for information about the Xingfeng Sect.
• Zuo Poxing decided to leave the Star-Breaking Cult and search for Chen Feng before the investigation put them in danger.
• Chen Feng healed his injuries after a month in seclusion, told Haili she no longer needed to report her expeditions, and confirmed he would stay at the Xingfeng Sect.
• Liu Qian called out to Chen Feng after he left the secret chamber.

After recovering from his injuries, Chen Feng heard Liu Qian’s reports on the Inner Sea crisis and the Xingfeng Sect’s expanding production, including its second space-based weapon. Yinyin returned with no memories and no martial cultivation, leaving Chen Feng to suspect she had a hidden connection to the Black Abyss as he continued planning for the sect’s future.

• Liu Qian told Chen Feng that cultivators were flocking to the Southern Region to investigate Nangong Yanyue’s disappearance, and Chen Feng learned Zhang Jin had been secretly brought back to the sect.
• Chen Feng ordered Ge Yunxuan to bring Zuo Poxing and two others back to the Outer Sea, then heard about the sect’s increased production, new factories, and second space-based weapon.
• Yinyin appeared after half a month away, and Chen Feng discovered she had lost her memories and all traces of her former Transformation Realm martial cultivation.
• Liu Qian said Yinyin had been found floating near the Black Abyss, and Chen Feng decided to watch over her himself rather than have the sect monitor her.

Yinyin accidentally activated the Divine Fire Fan, setting the Xingfeng Sect’s back mountain ablaze and badly injuring Zhengjiao, who had protected her. After Chen Feng treated Zhengjiao, he took Haili beyond Canglan Star and deployed and tested the sect’s second space-based weapon, leaving him concerned that cultivators could detect and destroy the fragile weapons.

• Yinyin waved the Divine Fire Fan and engulfed the Xingfeng Sect’s back mountain in flames, leaving Zhengjiao badly burned after he shielded her.
• Chen Feng found Yinyin and Zhengjiao amid the scorched mountain, gave Zhengjiao Healing Pills, and took them back to the garden.
• Yinyin admitted that she had waved the fan, and Chen Feng put it away while Zhengjiao stayed behind to recover.
• Chen Feng met Haili at the garden and took her aboard an Aerospace Carrier to place the second space-based weapon in orbit around Canglan Star.
• Chen Feng tested the weapon by firing a laser that pierced a mountain peak in the Northern Border, then considered how easily cultivators might detect and destroy the orbital weapons.

Chen Feng visited the Xingfeng Sect’s factories to inspect the first cultivation robots and their synchronized Law Techniques, while also asking Taiyi to design a Star Energy-based concealment formation. He left pleased with the robots’ potential and focused on building a future cultivation army.

• Chen Feng realized he could use Star Energy to strengthen a concealment formation and asked Taiyi to design one.
• Yue Yao invited Chen Feng to the nuclear factory, where she showed him the cultivation robot and Artificial Spirit Aperture production areas.
• Chen Feng learned the factory could currently produce five robots a day and explained that future models would use better materials and become far more powerful.
• Yue Yao demonstrated twenty robots casting the Fireball Technique in sync, and they reduced a large tree to ashes.
• Chen Feng approved of the robots’ combined attack and envisioned Taiyi directing a future army of upgraded cultivation robots.
