hello i’m back! decided to do volume 31 summary

here it is:

• After gaining their respective benefits from the ancestral ground, Ninedust having the ancient cultivator hegemon’s inheritances and Ning becoming a heartforce cultivator, they asked to be transported out.
• Because of Ninedusts temperament as well as his level, Universe treasure ultimately decided that Ninedust is not the master he is looking for
• Upon arriving outside, Ning and Ninedust immediately sensed their own respective Dharma bodies
• They get surprised when they learned that their Dharma bodies’ distance was greater that the entire size of the Endless territories.
• Ninedust eventually realized and told Ning that they were transported to the extremely deep parts of the Terror Starsea
• Luckily, Ning’s sword has already surmounted space making their travel much quicker
• However, they would need star atlas maps in order to traverse the expansive area where only powerful Eternal Emperor’s and Hegemons have reached so they each respectively approached their respective hegemons to ask for a star map
• Ninedust sort of blames Universe treaseure as to why they were transported here while Ning feels that it can’t be helped since this is where the battle took place
• Ninedust, seeing somewhere in the distance, prompted Ning to teleport them there.
• Upon arriving Ning saw two vortexes the size of about a hundred territories. Ninedust identifies them as Yin Yang Life and Death Whirlpool which absorbs things like a black hole and will also expand.
• It is said that upon discovery, three Hegemon’s had teamed up to destroy it because it will eventually grow so large that it could destroy the Endless Territories but they got killed instead
• Ninedust says that since it would take a long time for it to expand that most Daolords would have already died by then, it will be a problem for the Eternal Emperors
• Ning’s dharma body approaches Solesky’s dharma body amusing solesky because both dharma bodies are talking with each other.
• Ning then asks Solesky for a star map shocking Ning as to how he was able to reach the imba Whirlpool. Ning replied that he was just transported there.
• After copying Solesky’s map, Ning and Ninedust contemplated that in order to traverse the Terrorsea, they need to come through 62 dangerous areas and have 10% chance of living even after accounting Ning’s space capabilities
• Ninedust also got a star map from his ancestor which is much more complete than Ning’s and it also gave them fewer dangerous areas to travers and a 50% chance of escaping the Terrorsea
• Half a month after they started their journey, they finally arrived at their first obstacle, the illusory dust path
• Ninedust becomes nervous because of the beings living in the area that has reached Emperor level as well as illusory beings
• Then, a bunch of green armored creature with golden pupils came to attack the two. They have multiple bodies that can be real and illusory at the same time.
• Ning employed his heartforce technique totally shocking Ninedust because Ning has become a rare Heartforce cultivator
• Ninedust laughs because with Ning being a Heartforce cultivator, the journey has become much much easier save for the Eternal Emperor level beings in the illusory dust path
• On the distance, a blue green armored creature mumbles with a cold expression about his family members being killed
• Ning and Ninedust continue to travel but days pass they start to feel suspicious because the creatures has stopped attacking them when Ninedust’s ancestor said that they would be attacked all the way
• Suddenly they are attacked by a strong creature that cannot be killed by Ning’s heartforce extermination technique
• Ninedust suddenly enter into a trance. Ning’s face changes color but Ninedust eventually broke of from his trance.
• Ninedust said that his dharma body is continuously talking to a subordinate and if he suddenly stops talking to crush a Dao seal to wake Ninedust up
• Ning and Ninedust unleash their secret techniques to fight against the multitude of clones that the creature has.
• At the same time, Ning uses his world projection he got from being a heartforce cultivator to hamper the strong creature’s abilities as he and Ninedust flee
• As the Ning and Ninedust flee, the creature suddenly opened an eye in between his eyebrows which has some strange writing that Ning recognizes as strange and on par with the writing on the Nine Chaos Seals
• After opening the eye which Ninedust identifies as the Illusory Dust Eye, Ning and Ninedust’s speed fell from 100 to 62 times the speed of light
• Even with their combined techniques, they still get suppressed by the creature prompting Ninedust to use a strange formation diagram that uses 10 million cubes of chaos gems to activate
• They escape after running away. Ning contemplates about the strange writing hoping to improve his illusory heartforce techniques
• They arrive in Star River Basin after they traveled for about 300,000 years
• Ning, during that time, comprehended some of the writings to create own Illusory techniques and also training in his Dao of the Sword
• While travelling the Star River Basin they encounter immortal residences that were tattered. They deemed it worthless since it should have already been investigated by previous travellers
• At a distant place Ning and Ninedust noticed a barefoot man in tattered yellow clothing
• They get introduced to the man that is named Dao Lord Lai Ya from the Star River Clan, a clan predominantly located in Star River Basin
• They were a clan that was pushed aside by the powers in the Endless Territories and after many chaos cycles of wandering, they came to settle at Star River Basin and naming themselves Star River Clan
• They do not have any bad feelings towards people from the Endless Territories since they know that they are just a small and weak alien clan
• Ning and Ninedust tells Lai Ya that they need to leave Star River Basin but Lai Ya tells them that their clan has many treasure troves and invites them to go
• It seems that Lai Ya is on the Verge of Daomerge and is going to a place called Southern Thunder Element Palace
• Ning and Ninedust get suspicious as to why Lai Ya told them this secret since this is a product of countless years of exploration from Star River Clan. Lai Ya tells them to not worry because he has clearance since he is already a Daomerge Verge but makes them both promise to not reveal the secret to anyone. He also did this to establish friendship and wish they would protect his clan should Ning and Ninedust become Emperors in the future
• They talk about the original place of Star River clan and also the fact that an Eternal Emperor of the clan use a storage treasure and  migrated for about a million cycles to find a place to settle the clan.
• They arrive at the Southern Thunder Element Palace. What welcomed them was a golden palace with an oppressive atmosphere
• Lai Ya tells them to not worry because as long as they are not greedy then they gucci
• They should also undergo two trials in order to pass
• They are met with what they call Eternal Lightning that can be produced by a powerful Eternal Emperor in Dao of Lightning
• Eternal Lightning transforms into human form thunder protector
• Thunder Protector tests them with three palms progressively stronger one after another
• They managed to survive all three despite difficulties and then proceed to the next trial
• They arrive at a cold lake with a wooden bridge the passes through the entire lake
• Lai Ya tells them that once they step on the wooden bridge they will be subjected to a strong illusion. And once they drop in the water they would for sure die
• Lai Ya plans to train his Dao Heart with the aid of the illusion because he has a talisman given to him by their clan’s Eternal Emperor that gave him a 70% chance of survival
• Upon hearing that the danger is illusion. Ning and Ninedust smiled with confidence confusing Lai Ya
• Ninedust then introduces Ning as a powerful sword cultivation that also minors as a heartforce cultivator
• Ning then descends his world projection convincing Lai ya
• Lai Ya and Ninedust asks Ning for help because they want to temper their Dao Hearts in the lake. Ning will use heartforce to save them should they begin to walk towards the water
• At their first tries, Lai Ya and Ninedust gets confused as to why Ning suddenly grabbed them when they were completely convinced that they were still sober
• Upon realizing, both get convinced about the power of the lake and asked Ning to help them again to temper their Dao Heart
• Ninedust took 30 years to traverse the bridge while Lai Ya took 800
• Ning took much longer than both of them at 9000 years because he wants to comprehend the illusion to supplement his own illusion technique
• Seeing his illusion technique gradually take shape, Ning decided to name his technique Illusory Star Art
• He hopes to develop this art because it’ll help him with combat
• Thunder protector then materializes again amazed that Ning is a Heartforce cultivator, invites Ning to try out the other palaces of the Elemental Master
• He lets Ning pick one treasure inside the palace
• Lai Ya tells Ning to pick up this treasure called Separation and Reunion Stone Mansion Incense Burner and his clan will buy it for a huge amount of resources
• Ning tells Lai Ya that he needs to take a look inside first
• The three goes in and assesses the treasures inside.. there are 12 treasures placed in a platform. One is a painting made by the Elemental Palace master, and umbrella, a formation that Ning thinks is much like Ninedust’s powerful formation
• Ning gets really interested in the formation, but he decides to check out the Incense Burner that Lai Ya told him about
• He sat down beside the Burner and when he smelled the fragrance of the Burner something stirred his innermost feelings
• After Ning opened his eyes he realizes that he unexpectedly had a breakthrough in his Soleheart Sword Intent as well as in his Heavenbreaker Sword Intent
• Ning gets astonished because the Incense Burner is a treasure to comprehend the Dao which is a very priceless treasure
• Ning looks at the other two at his side. Lai Ya anxiously tells Ning that his clan would be willing to buy the Incense burner while Ninedust also wants to buy the burner in behalf of his Ancient Cultivator Clan
• Ning, since he isn’t a fucking idiot, decides to not exchange the treasure in the mean time
• Since only the three of them know about the acquisition of the treasure the share a lifeblood oath to not reveal the fact in exchange of using the Incense Burner while inside the Lightning Palace
• They exchange the Burner every 1000 years
• After 10,000 years, Lai Ya decides to do his Daomerge right there and then
• Lai Ya sets up an altar using expensive items in order to help with his Daomerge
• Ninedust informs about their Ancient Cultivator clan having a better place of Daomerge
• Lai Ya begins his Daomerge but eventually fails
• Lai Ya tells about long life struggling to become stronger for his clan, always staying in the Terror Sea
• Now that he failed his Daomerge Lai Ya wants to explore the Endless Territories since ha has never went there and wants to enjoy his remaining time and maybe venture towards the Endless Darkness afterwards
• Even though Lai Ya left, Ning and Ninedust stayed inside since there are still some paintings inside that may give them insights to their cultivations
• Ninedust breaks through to 4th step Dao Lord, he thinks of preparing for his Daomerge
• Scene cuts to Badlands territory’s Waveshift world. Story then expounds about Emperor Waveshift being a master of the Dao of Divination
• Nine colored lights suddenly blast outward from the Waveshift world shocking everyone
• Since Daolord Badlands is an expert in Divination he then took his wife to hide because he knows that the lights doesn’t bode well leaving behind his Dharma body to govern the territory
• He divines that many Dao Lords will die in this incident
• The information about the event quickly traveled throughout the Endless Territories
• Daolords and Emperors throughout deduces the appearance of what they call Seacave Jade Talisman which Emperor Waveshift has.
• Seacave Talisman will allow a Daolord Merge to attempt his Daomerge in advance without the danger of dying boosting the chances of being and Eternal Emperor
• Waveshift gave 1 Talisman to the Dao Alliance while leaving 5 inside the Waveshift world
• All around the Endless Territories Daolords in the Verge of Daomerge came out of the woodwork and proceeded towards Badlands territory
• Ninedust informs Ning about this making Ning worry for Solesky who is currently inside the Waveshift world
• They both decide to go in and try to acquire the talisman for themselves
• Solesky and Daolord Battlemaster decide to hide away Vastheaven Palace since dangers would come to Solesky and Badlands due to them being inside Waveshift world prior to the event happening and many Daolords would want inside information
• Cuts to Badlands territory, someone called Daoist Earthrain wanted to get information from Badlands but he denies making Earthrain angry but can’t do anything about it because being an enemy of someone who is proficient in divination is not a good idea
