Chapter Summaries

A Shen Clan expert summoned an Emperor Artifact spear to attack the Liu Clan, whose ancestors struggled to hold their formation. Liu Tianming summoned the Emperor Conferment Chair, and its Artifact Spirit persuaded the spear’s spirit to withdraw its power and come along, then rode off on it to test whether it was trustworthy.

The Emperor Conferment Chair brought the Shen Clan’s Emperor Artifact spear into the Liu Clan’s formation, where the spear showed affection for Liu Tianming and allowed him to take hold of it. As the Mystic Yang Realm experts joined forces to attack the formation, a fierce wind and mysterious force suddenly descended, interrupting the battle.

• The figure announced that those who fabricated and spread the rumor would pay, and someone shouted that Lin Xie was nearby and about to escape.

Lin Xie was exposed as a reborn one and nearly captured by two mysterious figures, but an unknown cloaked person secretly protected him. After the figures killed the person who had revealed his identity, the cloaked person appeared and hinted that greater powers existed beyond what Lin Xie knew.

• The figures appeared before the person who had shouted and killed him with the brush, alarming the onlookers.
• A cloaked person appeared before Lin Xie, admitted to protecting him, and said that greater people and higher heavens existed beyond what he knew.

Lin Xie wondered whether the newcomer who rescued him had framed him, while Lu Changzhi’s group explored the imperial tomb using Lin Xie’s detailed map. The chapter left Lu Changzhi suspecting Lin Xie had prepared the records as if he expected to make the journey again.

• Lin Xie took a pill and headed back toward the Misty Clear Realm, then wondered whether the newcomer had framed him and questioned what the man wanted.
• The newcomer watched Lin Xie leave, considered him a useful leek, and decided to return rather than linger.
• Lu Changzhi received Luo Zhen’s belongings and discovered they included half of Long Yang’s dragon dick, which he suspected Lin Xie had broken off.
• Mu Fan joked about the object, and Gu Chen accepted it for its remaining dragon blood before the group continued through the imperial tomb.
• Lu Changzhi’s group followed Lin Xie’s exceptionally detailed map through the tomb, and Lu Changzhi began to suspect Lin Xie had expected to travel the route again.

Lin Xie disguised himself as a Mystic Yang Realm cultivator and planned to return to the Emperor Tomb to recover an object that might be connected to his rebirth. Meanwhile, an unseen figure decided to risk returning for Lin Xie’s opportunity, while Mu Fan struggled to interpret his vague system mission.

• Lu Changzhi wondered whether Lin Xie had been reborn more than once and returned his attention to the Emperor Tomb.
• Lin Xie killed a Mystic Yang Realm cultivator, took his clothes and token, and disguised himself as the man.
• Lin Xie resolved to return to the Emperor Tomb and retrieve a mysterious object he had found in Xu Tiancheng’s tomb in his previous life.
• A figure traveling through the void learned that Lin Xie’s opportunity involved rebirth and turned back toward the Emperor Tomb despite the danger.
• Inside the Emperor Tomb, Gu Chen and Qin Li teased the listless Mu Fan, whose system mission only told him to “Dig” and “Deep.”

Lu Changzhi led Mu Fan and the others deeper into the Emperor's tomb while worrying about their limited time to explore and escape. Outside, Lin Xie warned the battling clans that the tomb's entrance would close soon, prompting Shen Clan experts to demand the Liu Clan reveal how to open it.

• Lu Changzhi continued guiding Mu Fan, Gu Chen, Qin Li, Xiao Ye, and Zhong Ming through the tomb as Mu Fan struggled with the unclear requirements of his task.
• Lu Changzhi considered the short window for leaving the tomb and decided to inspect its inheritance before judging how Mu Fan could complete his task.
• Lin Xie watched the Liu Clan's array collect weapons with the stone chair and reflected that the Liu Clan had taken the chair from him.
• Shen Clan experts cursed the stone chair for luring away their weapons and the Emperor Spear, while their weapons' Artifact Spirits reported that they could not escape it.
• Lin Xie beat a battered gong and announced that only half a day remained to open the Emperor's tomb.
• Shen Clan experts turned their attention to the tomb and demanded that the Liu Clan hand over the method to open it.

The Liu Clan gave the Shen, Zhu, and another Mystic Yang Realm faction memories revealing the Emperor’s tomb entrance, hoping to turn their attention away from the clan. After the factions headed for the tomb, a mysterious voice identified it as Xu Tiancheng’s tomb, stirring the crowd with the revelation that he was a legendary Body-Forging Great Emperor.

• Liu Xun asked Liu Duanyuan whether the Liu Clan should hand over the tomb information, and Liu Duanyuan agreed they needed to give up the tomb to divert their enemies.
• Liu Xun sent the Shen Clan a cluster of memories about the entrance, while the Shen and Zhu experts argued over their lack of cooperation and the Shen Clan’s lost spear.
• Zhu Sheng demanded another copy of the entrance method, and the Liu Clan handed the Zhu Clan and another faction nearly identical memories.
• Zhu Sheng decided to investigate the tomb, while Liu Xun recognized that the three Mystic Yang Realm factions were not united.
• A hidden speaker announced that the tomb belonged to Xu Tiancheng, and a young cultivator identified him as the Body-Forging Great Emperor who tempered his body with the Four Great Sacred Beasts.

Zhu Sheng and the other Mystic Yang Realm factions realized Xu Tiancheng’s inheritance might help their Imperial Ancestors and moved to report the discovery, while the Liu Clan decided to investigate Lin Xie. Inside the tomb, Lu Changzhi’s group reached a strange statue, and Gu Chen realized Master’s reminder pointed to the hidden entrance.

• Zhu Sheng concluded that the possible tomb of Xu Tiancheng had to be reported to the Imperial Ancestor, while the Huang Clan expert also urged his faction to report it.
• Liu Duanyuan told the Liu Clan members to prepare to withdraw, and Liu Tianming persuaded Liu Xun to investigate Lin Xie before returning to the Misty Clear Realm.
• Lu Changzhi and his companions reached a colossal statue with two visible doors and a third hidden entrance described in Lin Xie’s memories.
• Mu Fan reminded Gu Chen that Master’s earlier gift had a purpose, and Gu Chen took out Long Yang’s penis and realized the hidden entrance was located in a particular part of the statue.

Gu Chen and the others discovered an emperor's tomb chamber containing Xu Tiancheng, whose body had been refined into a corpse artifact. Lu Changzhi learned that reversing the transformation would require the power of time, then warned the group that someone was approaching as Mu Fan's situation became the more urgent concern.

• Qin Li uncovered a hidden door between the two visible doors, and Gu Chen led the group inside.
• The group found a purple, metallic figure and inheritance treasures; Qin Li identified the figure as a corpse artifact made from a refined body.
• Gu Chen asked whether Zhong Ming could use the body, but Zhong Ming said he could not, while Lu Changzhi's system explained that undoing the refinement would take time—specifically, the power of time.
• Lu Changzhi sensed someone trying to connect to the tomb and warned Gu Chen and the others that someone would arrive soon.

Mu Fan persuaded Zhong Ming to search underground and enlisted Xiao Ye to spread firecrackers through the emperor’s tomb, believing Lu Changzhi had confirmed there was something worth finding. Lu Changzhi remained cryptic as the others departed to search, leaving him with Qin Li and Gu Chen.

• Mu Fan urged Zhong Ming to dig in the emperor’s tomb, and Zhong Ming set off with a shovel to search for buried corpses or other surprises.
• Mu Fan privately asked Lu Changzhi to confirm that something was buried there, and Lu Changzhi answered only with a smile and a vague agreement.
• Mu Fan gave Xiao Ye a bag of firecrackers and asked him to scatter them across the tomb, and Xiao Ye accepted after his system issued him a task.
• Mu Fan and Xiao Ye left to spread the firecrackers, while Zhong Ming went to dig, leaving Lu Changzhi with Qin Li and Gu Chen.
• Qin Li asked Lu Changzhi whether the tomb held anything extraordinary, but he gestured for her to look around without answering.

The Liu Clan escaped while the Huang, Shen, and Zhu Clans focused on entering the Emperor Tomb, whose warning declared that the disrespectful could not touch it. The Huang Clan disguised themselves as Shen Clan members, and the Liu Clan reached temporary safety before Liu Duanyuan raised the issue of recovering the Shen Clan’s artifacts.

• Liu Duanyuan led the Liu Clan away, telling Liu Tianming not to stop or look back as he vowed to repay the Mystic Yang Realm forces for the disgrace.
• The Huang, Shen, and Zhu Clans put aside pursuit of the Liu Clan to investigate the Emperor Tomb, and Zhu Clan experts discovered its message: “The disrespectful must not dream of laying a finger on it.”
• The Huang Clan copied the Shen Clan members’ appearances, provoking the Shen Clan, whose artifacts had been lost or had run off with their Emperor Artifact.
• The Liu Clan reached a safer distance without being pursued, and Liu Duanyuan told Liu Tianming they still needed to deal with the Shen Clan experts’ artifacts.

Liu Tianming stored the seized Shen Clan artifacts inside the Emperor Conferment Chair, while Liu Duanyuan and Liu Xun realized Lu Changzhi might have entered the Emperor Tomb ahead of them. Meanwhile, Lu Changzhi and his companions reached the location marked by Xu Tiancheng’s inheritance.

• The Emperor Conferment Chair offered to cleanse the seized artifacts of the Shen Clan experts’ imprints, and Liu Tianming let it store them.
• Liu Xun learned that the Emperor Conferment Chair could control people and considered how useful that ability might be.
• Liu Xun noticed Lu Changzhi and his disciples were missing, and Liu Duanyuan suspected they had entered the Emperor Tomb ahead of the Liu Clan.
• Liu Duanyuan told Liu Xun not to alert Lu Changzhi and said the old ancestors would handle the matter while Liu Xun managed the clan.
• Inside the secret realm, Mu Fan and Xiao Ye worked outside the statue as Zhong Ming led old ancestors in digging, while the three passed Xu Tiancheng’s body and reached the place indicated by the inheritance.

Gu Chen obtained Xu Tiancheng’s body-tempering inheritance and absorbed the golden liquid, while Qin Li confirmed that its Qi resembled the Qi she had sensed from Lin Xie. After Gu Chen uncovered a hidden note beneath the stone platform, the group suspected that more treasures were hidden elsewhere in the emperor’s tomb.

• Gu Chen read Xu Tiancheng’s body-tempering method, which called for materials tied to the four sacred beasts, then absorbed the golden liquid from the vessel.
• Qin Li recognized the liquid’s Qi as sharing an origin with the Qi she had sensed from Lin Xie and wondered how his extraordinary physique had crossed into this life.
• Gu Chen cleared the stone platform and lifted it, revealing a hidden space containing a cloth that urged later visitors to keep searching for treasures.
• Qin Li suggested Xu Tiancheng had left the hidden items so visitors would not leave empty-handed, and Gu Chen guessed that more treasures lay elsewhere in the emperor’s tomb.
• Lu Changzhi stored Xu Tiancheng’s body, saying he would refine it later to protect his disciples.

The Shen, Huang, and Zhu Clans joined forces to open a passage into the Emperor Tomb, while Lin Xie prepared to enter, take what he sought, and escape. Inside, Lu Changzhi realized the factions would break through soon and considered using Lin Xie to find the place Mu Fan’s task required them to dig; Qin Li emerged from the statue and sensed something alarming.

• The Huang Clan moved against the Shen Clan, but Zhu Sheng intervened and arranged for the Shen Clan to enter the tomb first, followed by the Huang Clan and then the Zhu Clan.
• The Zhu Clan produced fake Shen Clan experts and joined the effort to open the tomb passage, prompting the Shen Clan to add its formation experts to the group.
• Lin Xie watched the three factions cooperate and planned to enter the tomb, dig up what he wanted, and leave before trouble caught up with him.
• Lu Changzhi sensed the factions’ combined efforts and estimated that they would break into the tomb within a cup of tea, then considered having Lin Xie locate the place they needed to dig.
• Gu Chen said they had nearly finished moving everything inside the statue and went to move it; Lu Changzhi found the nearby ground had sunk, while Mu Fan carried Xiao Ye and launched firecrackers.
• Qin Li emerged from the statue, sensed something, and opened her eyes with a grave expression.

Mu Fan blasted deep into the ground after Qin Li sensed something buried there and uncovered a golden Resurrection Coin marked with “Founder FangSong_GBK.” Its discovery connected to Qin Li’s own vanished silver coin and raised suspicions that Lin Xie’s rebirth was linked to the golden one.

• Qin Li sensed something nearby, and Lu Changzhi encouraged her to help Mu Fan investigate while keeping Gu Chen’s questions unanswered.
• Qin Li told Mu Fan where to blast, and he repeatedly exploded the ground as Xiao Ye and Zhong Ming watched.
• Mu Fan uncovered a deep crater containing a shattered square object and a golden Resurrection Coin bearing simplified Chinese characters.
• Qin Li recognized the coin’s distinctive presence and recalled that she had once possessed a smaller silver version that later vanished.
• Mu Fan asked Qin Li whether she knew what the coin was.

Lu Changzhi learned that the Resurrection Coin could revive someone after an unknown span of time, and his system warned that its maker was likely a powerful system user who had mastered time. As the Mystic Yang Realm powerhouses finally warped space to force their way in, Lu Changzhi told Qin Li and Mu Fan to prepare to leave.

• Mu Fan and Qin Li brought the items they had found in the pit to Lu Changzhi, who identified one as a Resurrection Coin and used the system to inspect it.
• The system told Lu Changzhi that the coin looked like the work of another system that had already had time to grow powerful, and it could not promise to protect him completely.
• Lu Changzhi realized the coin's delayed resurrection might be connected to Lin Xie's and Qin Li's reincarnations, raising questions about how many coins existed and what tied them to Lin Xie.
• Lu Changzhi claimed he had learned the characters from a self-proclaimed descendant of Yan and Huang, impressing Mu Fan and unsettling Qin Li, who understood the price of resurrection.
• Space warped above them as the Mystic Yang Realm powerhouses' combined efforts began to work, and Lu Changzhi told Qin Li and Mu Fan to tidy up and prepare to leave.

Lu Changzhi and his companions left the emperor’s tomb before the outside forces entered, and the newcomers found the grounds recently devastated. They concluded that the Liu Clan had used a puppet and a series of distractions to secretly explore the tomb, then began suspecting the Shen Clan of collusion.

• Zhu Sheng warned the Zhu Clan experts to prepare as the tomb entrance appeared, while Lin Xie and other Mystic Yang Realm experts moved toward it.
• Lu Changzhi gathered Mu Fan, Gu Chen, Xiao Ye, and Zhong Ming, then used Descent to return with them through Jin Fugui before the other forces arrived.
• Experts from the Zhu, Huang, and Shen Clans entered the tomb and found a barren, disturbed landscape that contradicted the Liu Clan’s information.
• Shen Xiong blamed the Liu Clan, and other experts proposed that the Liu Clan had secretly explored the tomb while using Liu Tianming, a puppet, and staged distractions to mislead everyone.
• The experts turned suspicious gazes on the Shen Clan and accused it of working with the Liu Clan.

Shen Xiong’s clan was accused of conspiring with the Liu Clan, but he led them deeper into the Emperor Tomb to search for its inheritance. Lin Xie discovered that the tomb’s statue and mountaintop had been removed, then headed for the inheritance site, only for an unidentified figure to reach it first and begin digging.

• Zhu Sheng and a Huang Clan expert accused the Shen Clan of betraying the realm, and Shen Xiong led his clan onward to search for the inheritance.
• Zhu Sheng ordered the other factions to follow the Shen Clan and take any inheritance they found, while rogue cultivators entered and began digging through the overturned ground.
• Lin Xie entered the tomb, found the statue and mountaintop missing, and realized the major forces had stripped the place bare.
• Lin Xie headed toward the place where he remembered the inheritance was buried, unaware that another figure’s system had identified the same location.
• The figure followed a line pointing to Lin Xie’s destination, sealed off the spot with artifacts, and drilled into the earth ahead of him.

Lin Xie found a protected patch of ground at the emperor’s tomb and recruited others to help him break through it, hoping to recover what Xu Tiancheng had buried. Deep underground, another figure opened an empty wooden box labeled for the Coin of Resurrection and realized that a rival with a similar system, likely from his hometown, had already taken the prize.

• Lin Xie found that one patch of ground resisted his attacks while the surrounding soil was easily destroyed.
• Lin Xie told the crowd that something might be hidden beneath the protected ground and invited them to attack it with him.
• A figure deep underground reached a wooden box and poured spiritual power into it until it opened.
• The figure found the box empty except for a message reading “Awaiting good news” and smashed it in anger.
• The figure concluded that the other person with a similar system had taken the Coin of Resurrection and was probably from his hometown.
