Chapter Summaries

The Liu Clan learned that the White Tiger Clan was preparing an opportunity for Human Race cultivators and seeking its Tianming Person, while Lu Changzhi suspected the White Tiger Token determined who the chosen person was. Qin Li agreed to attend, leaving to investigate the token’s connection to strength and its acknowledgment.

• The Myriad Treasures Pavilion visitor told Liu Xun and the Liu Clan patriarch that they had to decide for themselves what the seniors meant by sending them to the White Tiger Clan.
• Lu Changzhi connected the White Tiger Clan’s search for a Tianming Person to the White Tiger Token and concluded that the matter might already be settled.

Lu Changzhi saw Mu Fan’s new mission to gain the Vermilion Bird Race’s appreciation, while Mu Fan tried and failed to persuade the system to change its target. As the White Tiger Fortuitous Opportunity drew near, crowds converged on the Extreme Western Region, and Luo Zhen arrived just in time, wondering how far his Lone Star Fate could reach.

• Lu Changzhi checked the system and saw that Mu Fan’s latest mission was to gain the Vermilion Bird Race’s appreciation.
• Mu Fan balked at the mission, jokingly asked the System Spirit to replace the Vermilion Bird Race with Chongming Chickens, then decided there was no rush because it had no time limit.
• Cultivators poured into the Extreme Western Region for the White Tiger Fortuitous Opportunity, and the White Tiger Clan announced that it would officially begin in fifteen days.
• The announcement drew major forces and Emperor Ancestor experts, making young cultivators realize the opportunity might not be intended for their generation.
• Luo Zhen reached the gathering crowd the day before the opportunity began and wondered whether his Lone Star Fate could affect everyone in the world.

Luo Zhen considered seeking a place in the White Tiger Clan, whose leaders prepared fake tokens to identify the prophesied chosen one. As the White Tiger gathering began, the Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Races arrived, and the crowd spotted Liu Tianming with the Black Tortoise Race.

• Luo Zhen decided to try his luck with the White Tiger opportunity alone and hoped to join the White Tiger Clan.
• Bai Po and the other White Tiger leaders agreed to make fake tokens, reasoning that anyone who recognized the deception might be the chosen one's descendant.
• The Dragon Race arrived and its dragon might sent cultivators tumbling from the sky, while Gu Chen worried about completing his task for them.
• The Vermilion Bird Race arrived, and Xiao Ming joked with Lu Changzhi and Mu Fan about pursuing a Vermilion Bird and raising an egg.
• The Black Tortoise Race arrived with Liu Tianming, whom the crowd identified as the Liu Clan's imperial son.

Liu Tianming arrived at the White Tiger Clan’s gathering, where Bai Po announced that the clan would offer cultivation resources and protection to anyone who awakened a token or provided a way to achieve Atavism. The White Tiger Clan opened its secret realms, and the crowd surged forward to begin.

• Liu Tianming approached the Black Tortoise Race and felt uneasy under the scrutiny of the assembled Human Race forces.
• Mu Fan asked Lu Changzhi whether a Qilin existed, and Lu Changzhi explained that Qilins existed elsewhere but not among the Beast Race’s top forces here.
• Bai Po announced that the White Tiger Clan would offer resources and protection to anyone who awakened a token, and would also accept a method or opportunity for Atavism as grounds to name someone a Tianming Person.
• The Longwang Clan criticized the White Tiger Clan’s appeal, while Wu Kan considered whether the party behind Liu Tianming might help and the Vermilion Birds watched to see whether the approach worked.
• Bai Po placed tokens on stone platforms and opened secret-realm entrances behind them, then the crowd rushed forward as the event began.

Mu Fan reasoned that helping the Vermilion Bird Race achieve Atavism could earn its favor, and Lu Changzhi offered to hatch an egg for him. Meanwhile, Lin Xie concluded that the White Tiger Tokens scattered through the crowd were fake and decided to investigate the real token.

• Mu Fan decided that helping the Vermilion Bird Race achieve Atavism might earn its appreciation and asked Lu Changzhi to teach him how to hatch eggs.
• Lu Changzhi said the method would be difficult to teach, but offered to hatch an egg for Mu Fan if he brought one to the peak.
• Mu Fan eagerly accepted Lu Changzhi’s offer and resolved to find an egg.
• Lin Xie watched the crowds and concluded that the White Tiger Tokens outside were fake, likely placed to speed up the search for a Tianming Person.
• Lin Xie decided to test the real White Tiger Token himself to see whether it had changed.

At the White Tiger Clan’s secret-realm entrance, Liu Tianming received a privilege to test a token, but it showed no response. He accepted that he was not recognized and turned his attention to entering the secret realm.

• The crowd jostled in line to test the White Tiger Clan’s tokens, but the tokens showed no reaction to anyone.
• The four Sacred Clans discussed Liu Tianming, and Bai Po gave him a beam of power connecting him directly to the nearest token.
• Liu Tianming approached the token and placed both hands on it while the crowd watched.
• The token did not react, and Liu Tianming concluded he was not the White Tiger Clan’s Tianming Person.
• Liu Tianming set aside his disappointment and turned toward the secret-realm entrance, valuing its resources over another title.

Liu Tianming entered the secret realm despite Xuan Ze’s warning, while the Black Tortoise Race allowed him to proceed as the Human Race and Dragon Race weighed the danger. Li Baimei went to watch over him, and Lu Changzhi suspected Liu might be caught in a scheme that could affect Gu Chen’s mission.

• Xuan Ze warned Liu Tianming that the secret realm held dangers, but Liu entered anyway to temper his mental state.
• Wu Kan said the Black Tortoise Race would let Liu face the consequences, since his death could expose the force behind him and give the Black Tortoise Race an opportunity.
• Long Yang and Long Xiao left the White Tiger Clan’s area and followed Liu Tianming into the secret realm.
• Li Baimei concluded that the Black Tortoise Race’s Tianming Person had to be protected from becoming a pretext for conflict, and went to keep an eye on Liu.
• Lu Changzhi noticed Long Yang and Long Xiao heading after Liu and worried that their actions could jeopardize Gu Chen’s Ten Thousand Scale Armor mission.

Lin Xie hurried to seek the White Tiger Token’s recognition, but Qin Xiong reached it first and drew attention with his White Tiger Sacred Body. As Qin Xiong prolonged the moment before trying the token, Human Race experts began to suspect his power was connected to a White Tiger’s death.

• Lin Xie pushed through the crowd, hoping to try the White Tiger Token before the true chosen person appeared.
• Qin Xiong led his clan’s experts to the token, confident his White Tiger Sacred Body would earn recognition.
• Qin Xiong revealed a powerful presence that onlookers recognized as resembling the White Tiger Clan’s, and a faint White Tiger phantom appeared around him.
• Lin Xie learned that the youth at the token was surnamed Qin and feared he was Qin Baihu, whom the White Tiger Clan might recognize.
• Qin Xiong kept channeling his presence to attract attention instead of immediately touching the token.
• Human Race experts watched Qin Xiong, and one suggested his physique might be connected to a White Tiger from the clan that had died after losing its essence blood.

The White Tiger Clan considered whether Qin Xiong might be the Tianming Person, but lacked the White Tiger Token to verify it. Lu Changzhi noticed Qin Li’s unusual reaction, and she realized Qin Xiong may have taken the place she occupied in her previous life, meaning she might not exist in this life.

• The Longwang Clan teased Bai Po about Qin Xiong’s White Tiger physique, and Bai Po said the White Tiger Clan could not tell whether he was their Tianming Person without the missing White Tiger Token.
• Bai Po decided not to publicly reveal Qin Xiong, since doing so could bring him trouble and could also make him a useful cover for the real Tianming Person.
• Mu Fan and Lu Changzhi discussed Qin Xiong’s White Tiger physique, while Lu Changzhi noticed Qin Li reacting unusually to his name.
• Qin Li recalled learning that Qin Xiong was named after the name her father had wanted for a son, and concluded he might occupy the place she had held in her previous life.
• Qin Li wondered whether she was an outsider in this life and whether her family had never needed to worry about her disappearance.

Qin Xiong failed to gain the White Tiger Token’s recognition and entered the secret realm, while Lin Xie suspected the displayed token was fake. After Lin Xie openly challenged the White Tiger Clan, White Tiger pulled his consciousness into a separate space and demanded proof.

• Qin Xiong received no response from the token, gave up, and entered the secret realm.
• The crowd and the other Sacred Beast Races watched Bai Po, wondering whether he had communicated something to Qin Xiong.
• Lin Xie reached the stone platform and recognized the displayed token as a fake.
• Lin Xie accused the White Tiger Clan of displaying fake tokens and asked whether they wanted to find their Tianming Person.
• Bai Po relayed Lin Xie's words, and White Tiger pulled Lin Xie's consciousness into a separate space to ask why he believed the token was fake.

Lin Xie convinced Bai Po that he had the White Tiger Token by reproducing its true appearance and claiming it had fused with him. Bai Po accepted that Lin Xie was the long-awaited token bearer and asked whether he knew about Atavism, leaving Lin Xie to explain that his body contained the essence of the four Sacred Beast Races.

• Lin Xie pointed out the flaws in the displayed White Tiger Token and formed a corrected version from light.
• Bai Po asked whether Lin Xie possessed the White Tiger Token, and Lin Xie guessed that the White Tiger Clan had lost it.
• Lin Xie claimed the token had appeared out of nowhere and fused with him, then promised to help the White Tiger Clan in exchange for improving his strength.
• Lin Xie revealed knowledge of the White Tiger Clan's history, convincing Bai Po that he was the person their ancestor's token had awaited.
• Bai Po asked Lin Xie about Atavism, and Lin Xie said his body contained the essence of the four great Sacred Beast Races.

Lin Xie convinced Bai Po that he could restore the Sacred Beast Races, earning permission to cultivate in White Tiger territory. Meanwhile, Long Yang found Liu Tianming in the secret realm and lunged at him to test his talent.

• Lin Xie told Bai Po that he had already triggered Atavism in a Black Tortoise and urged him to verify the result.
• Bai Po accepted Lin Xie's claims and agreed to make arrangements for him.
• Lin Xie returned to the stone platform, entered the secret realm, and received permission to cultivate in the White Tiger Clan's territory.
• Lu Changzhi realized Lin Xie had bluffed Bai Po and noticed that Long Yang had appeared near Liu Tianming.
• Long Yang laughed that he had found his chance and lunged at Liu Tianming to see what their talents could produce.

Long Yang tried to approach Liu Tianming before Long Xiao restrained him, but Li Baimei intervened to protect the Human Race’s Holy Son. As Liu Tianming claimed the encounter was voluntary and the Vermilion Bird expert appealed to the cultivators’ interests, the crowd began to turn against Li Baimei.

• Long Xiao restrained Liu Tianming and warned him to cooperate or risk the Liu Clan’s fate as Long Yang approached.
• Li Baimei suspected the Dragon Race was trying to produce an Atavism through Liu Tianming and stepped in to stop Long Yang.
• Long Xiao confronted Li Baimei, who accused the Dragon Race of trying to ruin a Human Race genius.
• Bai Po questioned Li Baimei’s intervention, while the Longwang Clan called the matter a consensual internal affair of the Beast Race.
• Liu Tianming told Li Baimei that he and the Dragon Race were acting of their own free will.
• A Vermilion Bird Race expert argued that Li Baimei’s intervention could endanger the cultivators’ opportunity, and resentment spread through the crowd.

The Sacred Beast races agreed to let the Dragon Race test whether it could achieve Atavism through Liu Tianming, despite Li Baimei's objections. As Long Yang approached Liu Tianming, the Human Race cultivators were left in a collapsing secret realm and Liu Tianming chose not to resist, fearing for his clan.

• Longwang Clan pressed the Black Tortoise Race to allow the Dragon Race's test, and Xuan Ze and Wu Kan agreed after warning that Liu Tianming must not be harmed.
• Bai Po used the White Tiger Clan's power to suppress Li Baimei, while the secret realm began collapsing and its Human Race cultivators panicked.
• Li Baimei withdrew his power and prepared to see whether the Dragon Race could achieve Atavism, deciding Liu Tianming could not be allowed to live if the test succeeded.
• Liu Tianming chose not to use his life-saving means because he feared the Dragon Race would endanger his Liu Clan, and he accepted what was coming.
• Long Yang moved close to Liu Tianming, bringing the Dragon Race's test to the point of beginning.

Long Yang used his strange bodily ability on the bound Liu Tianming, causing Liu Tianming’s belly to swell as the onlookers realized he might be pregnant. The chapter ended with Long Yang slicing open Liu Tianming’s belly and something shooting into the sky.

• Long Yang made Liu Tianming disappear inside his body, then shook his abdomen until Liu Tianming reappeared drenched and vomiting.
• Long Yang told Liu Tianming to relax because he would soon be a mother, and the onlookers noticed Liu Tianming’s belly swelling.
• Li Baimei recognized Long Yang as a dangerous unknown within the Dragon Race and resolved to kill him if he got the chance.
• Liu Tianming’s belly grew larger as the crowd speculated about what he was carrying, and he became visibly weak.
• Long Yang cut a shallow line across Liu Tianming’s belly, and something shot into the sky.

Liu Tianming produced a strange egg during the Dragon Race’s attempt to achieve Atavism, astonishing the gathered Beast and Human Races. Lu Changzhi revealed that it was only a solid ball of flesh, while Long Yang examined it and left the outcome uncertain.

• Liu Tianming expelled a purplish-black, mucus-covered egg, and observers from both races reacted with shock and curiosity.
• Li Baimei, Xuan Ze, and Wu Kan were unable to inspect the egg, while Bai Po said it was no ordinary egg and he could not understand it.
• Human spectators speculated about what the egg contained and how it might hatch, while Qin Li asked Lu Changzhi what was inside.
• Lu Changzhi told Qin Li, Gu Chen, Mu Fan, Xiao Ye, and Zhong Ming that the egg was a solid ball of flesh and that nothing would hatch from it.
• Lu Changzhi predicted Long Yang would take the egg away and considered the failure favorable to Gu Chen’s chances.
• Long Xiao asked Long Yang how it had gone, but Long Yang only stared at the unusually different egg.

Long Yang cut open the egg that had emerged from Liu Tianming, exposing the Dragon Race’s failed attempt to claim an Atavism result and angering Long Xiao. Despite Liu Tianming’s frail condition, Long Yang prepared to try again, until Xuan Ze intervened.

• Long Yang suspected his injury from the emperor's tomb had changed the egg and cleaved it in half, revealing a bloody interior with no yolk.
• Long Xiao told Long Yang that he had kept Liu Tianming alive and warned that cutting open the egg had damaged the Dragon Race’s standing.
• Long Xiao reflected that the Dragon Race had intended to keep the supposed Atavism result concealed and stall for time, but Long Yang had ruined that plan.
• Long Yang ignored the warning and exposed his tool again, prompting Liu Tianming and the watching crowd to fear that he would die.
• Xuan Ze stopped Long Yang and accused the Dragon Race of insatiable greed.

After Long Yang was forced to leave the secret realm, Liu Xun decided he could use the Dragon Race to target Lu Changzhi. Meanwhile, Lin Fan approached the White Tiger Clan, and Lu Changzhi learned that Chu Ping'an and his system planned to harvest him like a leek, leaving him to consider whether to take Chu Ping'an as a disciple.

• Wu Kan protested Long Yang's actions, and Long Yang, Long Xiao, and Liu Tianming left the secret realm.
• Bai Po ended the spectacle, and Liu Xun realized the Dragon Race could be led to Lu Changzhi.
• Lin Xie cultivated among the White Tiger Clan and thought about pursuing other female white tigers.
• Lin Fan recognized the White Tiger Clan's surroundings from his dreams and continued toward the clan.
• A figure learned his system was strong enough to confront another system and headed toward the White Tiger Clan.
• Lu Changzhi learned that Chu Ping'an wanted to cultivate him as a leek and considered the benefits of taking him as a disciple.

Lu Changzhi rejected Chu Ping'an as a disciple but had his system persuade and split Chu Ping'an's Leek System, bringing half under his own control. Meanwhile, Chu Ping'an discovered that Li Baimei had a powerful system and decided to strengthen his own system before challenging it.

• Lu Changzhi judged Chu Ping'an unsuitable as a disciple but a useful leek, and his system persuaded Chu Ping'an's system to help Chu Ping'an cultivate leeks.
• Lu Changzhi discovered that his system had split the Leek System, leaving one half with Chu Ping'an and bringing the other half to him.
• Chu Ping'an asked his system to locate Li Baimei and learned that Li Baimei's system was currently stronger.
• Chu Ping'an decided not to confront Li Baimei yet and promised to help his system grow by cultivating and harvesting leeks.
• Chu Ping'an asked whether his system could enslave Li Baimei's system after defeating it, and his system said it could.

Lu Changzhi discovered that Lin Fan’s opportunity involved the White Tiger Token and the White Tiger Clan, but Lin Fan’s first attempt to activate the token failed. As Lin Fan turned toward the opportunity secret realm, the pendant left by his birth parents suddenly trembled and warmed.

• Lu Changzhi inspected Chu Ping'an’s planted leeks and recognized Lin Xie as someone who had lived two lives.
• Lu Changzhi read Lin Fan’s opportunity and realized the White Tiger Token was meant to recognize Lin Fan through his bloodline and bring him the White Tiger Clan’s support.
• Lu Changzhi located Lin Fan approaching a White Tiger Token display and watched as he reached the stone platform.
• Lin Fan placed both hands on the token, but it remained still, so he dismissed the possibility that he was the Person of Tianming and turned toward the opportunity secret realm.
• Lin Fan felt his pendant tremble and grow warm, then took it off to examine it.
