Chapter Summaries

Emperor Lin mourned Hai Yue and Qing Song and chose a new disciple to prepare for the Tomb of the Sea God. A year later, Yi Xuan’s Twin Cities were thriving, and his research on Immortal Qi had protected his underwater base from nuclear radiation; Starlink then detected Chu Longcheng, who vanished by passing through something in space.

• Emperor Lin asked his eldest disciple to choose a new candidate to train for the Tomb of the Sea God after Qing Song’s death.
• Over the next year, Xing Qi attracted Sea Clan residents to the Twin Cities, and the underwater city grew busy.
• Yi Xuan mastered using Immortal Qi to shield his underwater base from nuclear radiation and confined eight strands of Immortal Qi in a tower.
• No. 01 told Yi Xuan that Starlink had detected Chu Longcheng about one light-year away in footage from a year earlier.
• Yi Xuan watched Chu Longcheng reach into empty space and disappear as his hand, arm, and body passed through something.

Yi Xuan and his companions studied footage of Chu Longcheng vanishing during a spatial jump and concluded that an unknown creature had digested him. They feared the Cultivation Realm’s entire galaxy might lie inside the creature’s stomach, leaving Yi Xuan alarmed by what that could explain.

• No. 01 sent Yi Xuan clearer footage showing Chu Longcheng being forced out of his spatial jump before his body vanished.
• Yi Xuan gathered his Good Corpse and Evil Corpse to study the footage, and the Good Corpse noticed that Chu Longcheng’s body seemed to dissolve.
• Liang Shi told Yi Xuan that the footage looked like Chu Longcheng had been swallowed and digested by a creature.
• Yi Xuan and the two corpses reviewed the footage again, while No. 01 compared it with digestion, and they concluded that Chu Longcheng had been digested.
• Yi Xuan wondered whether the Cultivation Realm’s galaxy was inside the unknown creature and connected that possibility to the Artifact Sect and Mystic Gate’s actions.

Yi Xuan ordered probes built to investigate the place where Chu Longcheng disappeared, while he and his allies advanced their work across the Cultivation Realm. A year later, Yi Xuan, Liang Shi, and Niu Keli tested their new invention in the Eternal Sea as a gigantic shadow approached.

• Yi Xuan and the Good and Evil Corpse decided to build probes despite the long journey, and five probes departed the Cultivation Realm a month later.
• Over the next year, Xia Kingdom’s industries and research advanced, while Xing Qi expanded the Sea Clan population and trade in the Twin Cities.
• Niu Keli mastered the Arc Reactor and surpassed Yi Xuan in nuclear power research, earning access to cutting-edge technology from the Book of Technology.
• Yi Xuan, Liang Shi, and Niu Keli activated their invention near the undersea base, illuminating the waters as a hundred-meter-tall shadow approached.

Yi Xuan and his team brought their Semi-Mechanical Godzilla to the surface of the Eternal Sea and released a flood dragon to test its combat power. The chapter ended as the two enormous beasts collided and the flood dragon coiled around Godzilla.

• Yi Xuan checked that the brain-control chip, Arc Reactors, and life-form were stable before ordering close-combat mode.
• The Semi-Mechanical Godzilla rose from the sea, revealing its metallic, dinosaur-like body to Yi Xuan, Niu Keli, and Liang Shi.
• Yi Xuan ordered No. 01 to release the flood dragon, which had recovered from its injuries and been controlled by a brain chip.
• The flood dragon dismissed Godzilla and charged at it, while Godzilla roared and stood its ground.
• Godzilla and the flood dragon collided on the sea, sending huge waves outward, and the flood dragon coiled around Godzilla.

Godzilla broke free from the flood dragon's coils and survived its lightning-charged attacks before defeating it with a blast of blue energy. Yi Xuan and the others monitored Godzilla's stable condition as the battle ended with the flood dragon dead, never learning the name Atomic Breath.

• The flood dragon coiled around Godzilla, but Godzilla's strength forced it to release him.
• Niu Keli reported that two more of Godzilla's Arc Reactors had activated, while Liang Shi confirmed his vital signs were stable.
• Godzilla hurled the flood dragon onto the island, then endured its lightning strike and a devastating charge without injury.
• Godzilla swept the flood dragon into the air with his tail and chased it down when it tried to flee.
• Godzilla seized the flood dragon, unleashed blue energy from his mouth, and killed it with Atomic Breath.

Yi Xuan and his team tested Godzilla after he killed a flood dragon, while Liang Shi’s experiments repeatedly became food for the monster. When they discovered Godzilla had grown twenty meters in two months, Liang Shi revealed that his research had finally made progress, leaving Yi Xuan and Niu Keli to suspect his work was connected to Godzilla’s growth.

• Godzilla killed a flood dragon at Mahayana Realm Perfection with his Atomic Breath, using twelve Arc Reactors while leaving reserve reactors inactive.
• Yi Xuan, Liang Shi, and Niu Keli tested Godzilla near the undersea base and found that he thrived in the Eternal Sea’s radiation zone.
• Liang Shi’s team studied marine creatures’ resistance to radiation, but Godzilla repeatedly ate the test subjects and grew from about one hundred meters to nearly one hundred and twenty.
• Yi Xuan reviewed Godzilla’s growth records and found that he had gained nearly twenty meters during the previous two months.
• Liang Shi rushed to his laboratory and told Yi Xuan that his three-month research had made progress, pointing to Godzilla’s twenty-meter growth.

Yi Xuan discovered that Godzilla was absorbing the Arc Reactor and other devices inside his body, raising the risk that he would escape control. As Yi Xuan prepared to destroy him, Liang Shi found that Godzilla's newly formed energy conversion device still followed its original programming, suggesting the evolution remained controllable.

• Yi Xuan examined Godzilla with Liang Shi and Niu Keli after learning that Liang Shi's radiation-resistant organisms might have accelerated Godzilla's growth.
• Liang Shi noticed that Godzilla's flesh had enveloped an Arc Reactor and its energy conversion device, and Yi Xuan confirmed their controls were failing.
• Yi Xuan checked the brain-control chip and discovered that Godzilla's brain was beginning to absorb it too.
• Yi Xuan prepared to activate the self-destruct program, but Liang Shi asked him to wait and check the absorbed energy conversion device.
• No. 01 confirmed that the newly formed device still followed its original output program, leading Yi Xuan to conclude that Godzilla's evolution remained controllable.

Yi Xuan left his undersea research after learning that Fatty Lin had disappeared. Lin Er revealed that Fatty Lin had vanished after accepting a supposed Mystic Snow Pavilion invitation to a banquet in the Luoning Kingdom, and Yi Xuan suspected the incident was connected to his petroleum business.

• Yi Xuan continued monitoring Godzilla, implanted more microrobots, and arranged a contingency to destabilize its Arc Reactor if it went out of control.
• Yi Xuan ordered Liang Shi's team to cultivate radiation-resistant organisms as food for Godzilla, and after more than a month Godzilla remained stable while assimilating part of its brain-control chip.
• Cui Yan informed Yi Xuan that something had happened to Fatty Lin, so Yi Xuan left the Eternal Sea and returned to the Azure Cloud Sect.
• Lin Er told Yi Xuan that Fatty Lin had gone missing after traveling to the Luoning Kingdom for a banquet supposedly arranged by a Mystic Snow Pavilion immortal.
• Lin Er explained that the Luoning Kingdom's imperial palace denied the invitation and that none of Fatty Lin's companions had returned; Yi Xuan suspected someone had targeted him over his petroleum business.

Yi Xuan investigated Fatty Lin’s disappearance and learned from Lin Jinbao that the oil business’s immense profits may have drawn the attention of cultivators. He flew to Luoning Kingdom with Shi Zhenghao to find Fatty Lin, while the kingdom’s emperor prepared to meet them.

• Yi Xuan visited the Lin residence and found Lin Jinbao managing the household and its businesses in good order.
• Lin Jinbao showed Yi Xuan the account books and argued that Fatty Lin’s oil business was connected to his disappearance.
• No. 01’s figures showed that the oil profits had grown enormously, reaching a scale that could attract powerful enemies.

• The emperor of Luoning Kingdom heard that immortal masters had arrived and hurried with his subordinates to meet them.

The emperor of the Luoning Kingdom was killed after confronting a Mystic Snow Pavilion disciple who had attacked the empress. Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao entered the emperor’s quarters and had the Black Tortoise seize the disciple, leaving the empress free to cover herself.

• The emperor found the Mystic Snow Pavilion disciple in his sleeping quarters violating the empress and charged at him, but the disciple killed him with a single attack.
• Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao watched the incident with their Divine Senses as the palace learned of the emperor’s death and fell silent under the disciple’s threats.

• Yi Xuan demanded that Sun Li reveal where Fatty Lin was, while Sun Li tried to explain that he had invited him to the palace to make friends.
• The chapter revealed that Sun Li had discovered diesel a year earlier, recognized its business potential, and traced its source to Fatty Lin.
• Sun Da, Sun Li's Spirit Transformation guard, arrived and urged Sun Li to order an attack; Yi Xuan told No. 01 to track him but wait.
• Sun Li ordered Sun Da to kill Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao, and Sun Da reached for them.
• Yi Xuan activated Starlink, and Sun Da fell dead at his feet; Sun Li saw a thin bright line strike Sun Da and shouted at the corpse to get up.

Yi Xuan killed Sun Li after the empress revealed she knew where Fatty Lin was, while Shi Zhenghao warned him about Sun Li’s powerful family. Grand Elder Sun learned Sun Li had been searching for diesel near the Azure Cloud Sect and set out with Qian Yun to destroy the sect, leaving Shi Zhenghao hoping they could escape before their identities were discovered.

• Sun Li’s Soul Control Talisman Seal shattered, confirming Sun Da was dead, and Sun Li realized Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao had killed him.
• Sun Li invoked his grandfather, a peak Mahayana Realm expert, but Yi Xuan ignored the threat despite Shi Zhenghao’s warning about the Mystic Snow Pavilion.

• Grand Elder Sun declared he would destroy the Azure Cloud Sect, and sect master Qian Yun gathered disciples to follow him.
• Shi Zhenghao feared Yi Xuan’s actions would bring the Mystic Snow Pavilion after them, but hoped they could leave before their identities were discovered.

Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao killed Sun Li and rescued the empress, then hurried to find Fatty Lin. They found him badly tortured in a secret chamber, where he tearfully assured Yi Xuan that he had revealed nothing.

• The Black Tortoise crushed Sun Li, avenging the empress, and Yi Xuan told her to get dressed while he and Shi Zhenghao waited outside.
• Shi Zhenghao dismissed the guards and flirted with the empress after she emerged dressed, but Yi Xuan urged them to find Fatty Lin.

• The Black Tortoise shattered the chamber door, and Yi Xuan found Fatty Lin tortured beside a corpse and gave him a healing pill.

After rescuing Fatty Lin, Yi Xuan learned that the Mystic Snow Pavilion had traced Sun Li’s death to the Azure Cloud Sect and hurried back with Shi Zhenghao. Two days later, a Mahayana expert shattered the sect’s grand array and accused the Azure Cloud Sect of killing his grandson.

• The black figure declared that the Azure Cloud Sect had killed his grandson, and Xiao Anhe tried to stall him.

The Mystic Snow Pavilion surrounded the Azure Cloud Sect, and Grand Elder Sun prepared to attack while other Southern Frontier sects watched. The Azure Cloud Sect’s old grand elder activated the sect’s puppet formation, which shielded the mountain but had already lost a tenth of its puppets to Sun’s attacks.

• Grand Elder Sun waited for the Mystic Snow Pavilion’s forces, intending to absorb the Azure Cloud Sect rather than destroy it outright.
• Xiao Anhe and Supreme Elder Li guarded the Azure Cloud Sect’s old grand elder while the pavilion’s forces and Southern Frontier spectators arrived.
• The Mystic Snow Pavilion’s pavilion master asked Grand Elder Sun whether to attack, and Sun struck at the Azure Cloud Sect’s gathered elders.
• The old grand elder’s Method Formula activated the puppet formation, protecting the sect as Sun’s attacks disappeared into its light.
• Grand Elder Sun mocked the sect’s reliance on puppets, while the old grand elder and Xiao Anhe recognized that the formation could only delay their defeat.

The old supreme elder tried to save the Azure Cloud Sect’s disciples by dissolving the sect as Grand Elder Sun battered its defenses. The Qianyuan Sect intervened to forbid the sect’s extermination, and Grand Elder Sun demanded the three supreme elders’ lives and five thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones in exchange for withdrawing.

• The old supreme elder reinforced the Azure Cloud Sect’s puppet defense, then urged Xiao Anhe and Supreme Elder Li to flee with the disciples when it failed.
• He declared the Azure Cloud Sect dissolved and ordered its disciples not to seek revenge as Grand Elder Sun continued attacking.
• The puppet hall collapsed, and the grand array began to fail just as a messenger arrived with the Qianyuan Sect master’s decree forbidding the Azure Cloud Sect’s extermination.
• The messenger clarified that the Qianyuan Sect would protect the sect’s inheritance but would not interfere with other consequences.
• At the messenger’s suggestion, Grand Elder Sun demanded that the three supreme elders kill themselves and that the Azure Cloud Sect pay five thousand Supreme-Grade Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.

The Azure Cloud Sect agreed to an enormous debt to the Mystic Snow Pavilion in exchange for sparing its three supreme elders, and Cui Yan signed an unequal treaty to save them. Before his blood could seal the contract, it was destroyed by a flash of white light as countless Black Tortoises surrounded the gathered sects.

• Grand Elder Sun raised the Mystic Snow Pavilion’s demand to seven thousand Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, payable with interest over a hundred years.
• Cui Yan and the Azure Cloud Sect’s disciples vowed to preserve the sect and pay off its debt, convincing the old supreme elder to accept the arrangement.

• Shi Zhenghao urged Yi Xuan to use a stronger weapon against Grand Elder Sun, but Yi Xuan said conventional missiles could not stop a Mahayana Realm cultivator.
