Translator's Note

Sansang 三桑 is another way of saying 扶桑 (Fú​sāng) A legendary tree of life (probably mulberry or hibiscus). It may be because the number 3 三  (sān) sounds like 生 (shēng), which means “to live” or “life” so it’s considered a good number.

Fusang is also where the 10 suns that appear in the legend of Hou Yi rise from, and it also refers to a legendary land where these trees grow which later became associated with Japan because of its geographical location. r1Jzi9

Note that in this story however Sansang and Fusang are two distinct divine trees.

Translator's Note

Internal Demons (心魔 xīnmó) – literally translates as “Heart Devils”. Rather than standard demons or devils, these are a practitioner’s negative emotions and other mental barriers which hinder their training/cultivation. Internal Demons, in some cases, can even attack the practitioner from the inside, and failure to adequately resist them may result in Qi Deviation.

This soul is not the same as the one above. It’s 魂魄 as opposed to 神魂.
魂魄 is the regular soul mortals have.
神魂 is the one cultivators have after some time practising cultivation.

  1. I thought there was something wrong with the Master’s soul when he had to take a soul condensing pill after the fight. Now, the question is – did he damage his soul while protecting Mo Tianliao’s soul all these years back? That would explain his sleepiness and lack of energy.

    Thank you for the chapter! ❤

  2. Sooooo everyone knows Lord Kitty is actually Qingtong!! It seems like that, at least.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  3. hi, i find a lot of this kind of comments in the middle of a sentence and some words are not translated: [/ tn] inside were inscribed with divine knowledge. Farmers who had not yet formed their divine soul would not have been able to read them. If they persisted in trying, their [tn content = "soul"] This soul is not the same as the one above. It is the opposite of 神魂.魂魄 is the normal soul that mortals have.神魂 is what growers have after practicing cultivation for some time. Information for the curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hun_and_po [/ tn] Can’t they be canceled or put in another place? I find reading very uncomfortable.
        • I’ll see what I can do though the notes are supposed to be unobtrusive and only show up if you click on them. Or is it the underlining that makes it hard to read? I could add them to the final period of the sentence but I’m afraid people wouldn’t notice them 🤔

          • i’m sorry to cause you so many problem, I had notice that the notes are often in the middle of the sentence and you can’t read in the correctly the all sentence.

            Make as is better for you and thank you for your patience. I wait for the next chapter!

  4. I have a theory that all of the masters and their direct disciples are demonic beasts who have taken human form, or at the very least humans that care about demonic beasts. That would explain why the other two leaders were so shocked when Lord kitty picked the MC to be a direct disciple right off the bat

  5. I’m a bit confused, Yuli is Tianliao’s shixiong so how can Yuanhai, Yuli’s disciple also be Tianliao’s shixiong?

  6. ‘I was so happy that I wish I fainted QAQ’

    There, I fixed it for you, HQ. 😂
