ATG is undoubtedly the easiest to MTL, and I just felt like doing this instead of translating the novel I'm doing or... homework shudders

Starting from Ch464 onwards. Note, some parts may be slightly inaccurate as I have read some parts a long time ago.


Primordial Ark (part of book 5)

While running from Ye Xinghan, Yun Che stumbles upon an ancient castle. Yun Che brings Xue'er to rest inside. While looking around, he hears a mysterious voice, and Jasmine tells him it may come from a remnant spirit that has remained behind. Xue'er then begins to tell him the story of the Phoenix Spirit.

The spirit had run out of its lifespan and gave its powers and soul, including all its blood and memory. As such, she recognized immediately after seeing Yun Che's golden phoenix mark that his phoenix bloodline had come from the other phoenix in the Phoenix Spirit's memories. Because the Phoenix Spirit had regretted attacking the other spirit, Xue'er had given Yun Che the World Ode of the Phoenix stages 1~4.

Ye Xinghan eventually finds Yun Che and Xue'er. With no other way and with time running out, Yun Che gives Xue'er the teleportation seal to use. After she gets teleported out, she tells the elders and her father of the situation, but Ye Xinghan who then comes out tells the world that the Phoenix Spirit had died, and that the Sun and Moon Divine Hall had no need to fear the Divine Phoenix Empire. Then, the Phoenix Spirit that had left a remnant of its soul behind appears and scares them off, while Xue'er faints, going into a long sleep.

Meanwhile, Yun Che is trapped in the Profound Ark, as he remained inside the mysterious castle he had found (which cuts off connection so that he is not teleported out when the time's up). The ark sets off into the hyperdimension and its overwhelming pressure seemingly destroys Yun Che's body.

As his body becomes destroyed, Yun Che has a flash of insight and advances to the 4th stage of the Great Way of Buddha, barely surviving pressure that even Sovereign Profound Realm practitioner cannot survive in for long. There, his body gets constantly destroyed and rebuilt through the Great Way of Buddha until he reaches 10th Level of Sky Profound Realm.

Here, Jasmine is revealed to have fully recovered, as she meets two monsters from the Divine Realm(?) in the hyperdimension. She chases them away (or kills them) as they realize the Star God still lives. Jasmine then does her thing and says she'll lock her powers for a couple years to heal, but it seems in reality that she is perfectly fine. She says to herself that this is the only way Yun Che will learn not to rely on her.

As they travel in the hyperdimension, Yun Che, now able to move around, once again hears the mysterious voice. The voice then leads him to a coffin, where he finds a small girl inside. This girl, Hong'er, is revealed by the Remnant Spirit to be of a sword-eating race. She had been poisoned by the God-killing Poison (similar kind to Jasmine's), and has retained herself by remaining in the coffin. Yun Che then fully heals her and the remnant spirit fades away happily. This girl, Hong'er, is a bit special in that she likes to eat heavy swords and she grows strong as she eats stronger swords. She also transforms into a heavy sword. She then eats the swords Yun Che has and becomes his Emperor Profound(?) level Heavy-Sword.


Book 6: Ruler of the Illusionary Demons Arc

Prologue/Side-story

After Yun Che "dies" in the Primordial Ark, the Divine Phoenix Empire makes their move against the Blue Wind Empire, seemingly because they found a large vein of Purple Divine Crystals (also because Yun Che humiliated them in the tournament).

Fast forward a bit, Cang Yue's father had been assassinated and she has taken over as the Empress. Refusing to bow down the to Divine Phoenix Empire for her husband's honor, she withstands the pain through the end and fights on.

The Yun Clan

The Primordial Ark stops, and Yun Che finds himself on a new continent. There, he immediately runs into a young man, Xiao Yun, and his girl Tianxia Qi. He saves them from two early Tyrant profound level practitioners, revealing he can easily handle Tyrant Profound realm powerhouses. After learning where he is from these two, he finds that he has returned to where he was born - the Illusionary Demon Continent! (or Huan something continent. Huan means illusionary/fantasy/etc). This continent has different races - fairy race, dragon-blood race, etc. There are 12 Guardian Families, with the Yun Clan being one and once, the strongest of them.

He also learns that Xiao Yun is the real grandson of his grandfather back in the Blue Wind Empire; basically that he had been who he was swapped with when he was a baby. He then returns to the Yun Clan as Xiao Yun's friend, and he learns about the Yun Clan's situation.

Yun Che's grandfather, the sorcerer who had sacrificed his life to save Yun Che, was the Monster King, an honorary title given by the Monster Emperor. After he had "lost" his life in the Sky Profound Continent, he had lost the Illusionary Demon Emperor's Seal, which is paramount to unlocking their bloodline heritage. Their bloodline is of the Golden Crow, one of the three Divine Birds, the other two being the Phoenix and the Vermillion Bird. Jasmine then reveals that the Golden Crow has the strongest destructive power, while the Phoenix flame has purifyig power and the Vermillion Bird flame has regenerative power.

Anyhow, elders of the Yun Clan, about 20 years before current time, traveled to Sky Profound Continent to search for the missing Monster King. However, all the elders that were of mid/late Sovereign Profound Realm die, trapped by the Sun and Moon Divine Hall (and their poison). Only Yun Che's father and mother survived, but they left their son, Yun Che, under the Xiao family's care in case they could not make it. Now returned, Yun Che learns of all this and finds out that both his father and mother are still deathly-sick from the poison. Doctor Che comes to the rescue. In just two months, Yun Che secretively heals both of them up, back to their intermediate Sovereign Profound Realm power.

Meanwhile, there are turmoils in the Yun Clan, as some of its internal elders are trying to take over the position of the head. Basically, Yun Che puts a stop to this, revealing that he is the son of Yun QinHong (the head). To prove this, he brings out the Samsara Mirror that had been lost along with the Illusionary Demon Emperor's Seal and also the body of the Monster King that he had stored in the coffin he found in the Profound Ark.

After this, the matter is swiftly resolved as Yun QinHong reveal he got his power back and is cured.


The Illusionary Demon Empress - Little Empress

The internal strife of Yun Clan is partially to do with the crime of the Monster King losing the Illusionary Demon King's Seal. Because of this crime, the Illusionary Demon's royal bloodline, the "Little Empress", is unable to become a full fledged Empress. This is because she is unable to enter the Golden Crow's holy land to unlock her bloodline without it. It is also revealed that Little Emperor, brother of Little Empress and her husband-to-be (to keep the blood as pure as possible), had died 80 or some years ago when he went alone to find the Monster King in the Sky Profound Continent.

Certain Guardian Families are being rebellious, and one of the Guardian Family head is looking to become the next Emperor. There is a grand meeting of some sort for the Guardian Families. They try to get Yun Clan to be kicked out from the Guardian Family status for their crime of losing the Illusionary Demon Emperor's Seal, but Yun Che comes to the rescue once again. He beats the younger generation in a show of power (defeating up to an 8th level Tyrant Profound Practitioner with his 10th level Sky Profound power), from which his family is to have gained some Divine Purple Crystals from some betting he did before the fight began. Then, xianxia villains being villains, says unreasonable things like Yun Che being some helper the Yun Clan hired. Yun Che then steps up, shows his Profound Handle (which only the Yun Clan has), revealing he is the son of Yun Qinhong and the grandson of the Demon King. He also brings out the Seal which his grandfather had left him before he died.

He reveals the coffin, and tells that his grandfather had suffered 100 years in total darkness just to preserve this Seal in his heart (which is partly why his power was sealed to an Emperor Profound level). It apparently should have cost an enormous amount of physical pain to keep it stored in his heart, which saddens the Yun Clan listening and the audience.

Little Empress, watching the scene, then pays honor to the Monster King, forcing the other Guardian Families to do so as well. Then she takes off with the seal, and the grand meeting of the Guardian Families is adjourned suddenly.


The Golden Crow

Little Empress had obviously gone to get her bloodline awakened, but Yun Che feels strange and chases after in the middle of the night. There, he finds the Guardian Family trying to become the Emperor, and he charges inside the holy land.

Little Empress learns that, as woman, she is unable to awaken the Golden Crow bloodline as its pure yang strength will kill her instead. Afterwards, Little Empress is attacked by the wannabe Emperor and his father who had been hiding for years. It is revealed that they had told the Sun and Moon Divine Hall of the Illusionary Demon Royal Families' heaven-defying treasure (the Samsara Mirror- although noone knew what it did for sure).

Yun Che comes to the rescue, but he is unable to help at all. Little Empress sacrifices herself and runs away barely, but they soon catch up with the villains. Yun Che holds Little Empress and dives into the fiery sea of the Golden Crow, and the villains are unable to give chase. The fiery sea is supposedly the Golden Crow's flames that even the wannabe Emperor's father, at the 10th level of Sovereign Profound Realm, is unable to withstand.

Yun Che with the Fire-seed's power is perfectly fine under the fiery sea. He then meets up with the Golden Crow Spirit who dislikes the Phoenix. She (the spirit is female) sees Yun Che's power of Evil God's Veins and Azure Dragon's marrow/bone/body. She says her life-wish had been to find the perfect person to impart her abilities and says she picks Yun Che. Then she tries to get rid of the Phoenix Power mark that Yun Che has, saying it is useless and powerless in front of the Golden Crow's absolute destructive power (which Jasmine agrees). However, Yun Che says his honor and gratefulness towards the Phoenix Spirit will not allow that.

The Golden Crow Spirit forcefully tries to remove the Phoenix mark and Yun Che falls unconscious. When she is close to removing the mark, the soul of the Azure Dragon comes up as well as the soul of the Phoenix Spirit (I believe Yun Che does not know they left that with him yet...?). The Golden Crow Spirit is surprised that the haughty Azure Dragon would do such a thing and even the Phoenix Spirit. She then reads Yun Che's memories...

When Yun Che wakes up, he finds that he has gained the power of the Golden Crow, but he still has the Phoenix Mark. Golden Crow explains she changed her mind. She then says she gave Yun Che more than the Pheonix Spirit (to assert her dominance you know). A total of 9 drops of blood, the Golden Crow's technique manual the Burning World (or something like that), and also a treasure which has the power to activate the Profound Ark. She also thinks to herself that she sensed a very familiar aura/power from Yun Che. Something from the ancient times, but she can't quite put her fingers to it. But she acknowledges that it can't be a coincidence that this man has had the encounters that he has had.

The Golden Crow then tells Yun Che a way of saving Little Empress's life (she is on the verge of dying from trying to save Yun Che before). Basically, Yun Che has sex with Little Empress for entire 3 months or something like that. Before, the Golden Crow had told her she would be unable to gain the power of the Golden Crow unless she managed to find a man to have sex with who carried the power of one of the Divine Birds. It's the good-old have-intercourse-to-save-a-life-and-power-up trope. As a result, Little Empress becomes super powerful, awakening her Golden Crow blood, but her life span is reduced to 3 years.

Yun Che and Little Empress then spends a bit of time learning the Burning World technique. It's said that the Little Empress had learned to the 3rd stage, while Yun Che had quickly grasped it to the 7th stage.


Side-Story 2 not sure if this is the exact placement

It is revealed that Cang Yue is being a fantastic empress, holding her head high against the Phoenix Empire. Unfortunately, Blue Wind Empire can't do shit versus the Pheonix Empire. The large sects are all ignoring her call for help and she has by now given up on them helping. The Phoenix Empire army is encroaching upon the capital city's walls... (I think)

Meanwhile, the north-ice-land-sect-place gets invaded by the people who wanted Qingyue's virginity and stuff. They defend with a special seal, which will soon run out of time. During this time, Qingyue uses a one-person-only teleportation array to get away, while the rest of the sect's women holes up in that Divine Ice-technique place (I think. Names are hard to remember yo).

Resolution

After coming out of the holy land, they find that the wannabe Emperor is about to take the throne, while Yun Qinhong is refusing to let him be the new emperor. Then he fights him to "avenge" his son. Yun Qinhong gets to the stage where he uses his blood essences (harming himself greatly) to boost his power, but Yun Che and Little Empress then appears and wipes the stage. Wannabe Emperor's father comes along but he is also wrecked by Little Empress (but he then flees, gravely injured, with a hidden technique). Wannabe Emperor tries to sneak attack Yun Che, but he wipes the floor with him, revealing he can now contend with Intermediate Sovereign Realm powerhouse.

Things wrap up. Yun Che says he can cure Yun Qinhong even through his blood essence loss (which makes him surprised as it should've turned him powerless). The full recovery would take 2 months.

Things are merry. Yun Che's doing god's work with his Doctor Che skills and his reputation has even more skyrocketed. He's been healing the "uncurable diseases/injuries/etc" and many people now owe him and also wishes to become friends with him.

Yun Che's been trying to woo Little Empress, and with the Smooth Che skills, she finally gives in. Jasmine tells Yun Che somewhere along the lines that the only way to extend her lifespan is for Yun Che to either get to the 7th stage in the Way of the Great Buddha or to find the 3rd of the Heavenly Treasures which makes a person never die unless killed.

There's a big wedding and months of sex-life as Yun Che heals up Yun QinHong. Afterwards, he plans on going back to the Blue Wind Empire.

Also somewhere along the lines, Yun Che finds that Hong'er has eaten the treasure given to him by the Golden Crow. Now she can control the Profound Ark, so Yun Che tries to be nicer to her by feeding her heavy swords that he received as gifts from all the medical Che works. I think she also ate some Tyrant Profound level swords so she's at least that strong.

P.S. Little Empress is pretty cute when she's being dere.


The Return - Boiling Rage

After everything is resolved in the Illusionary Demon Continent, Yun Che returns home to the Blue Wind Empire. He quickly sees the New Moon/Leaf(?) City in devastation and becomes confused. He thought the Blue Wind Empire would be fine since he save Xue'er's life. Then he runs into someone he knew and learns of the situation. He becomes enraged and makes a beeline to the capital.

Meanwhile, news spreads to the villain's sides that Xia Yuanba is heading to the Blue Wind Empire, now at the level of Sovereign Profound Realm.

On the other hand, in the Phoenix Empire, Xue'er who had been sleeping since that day had awaken. She is now stronger than before, enough to completely suppress her father with her aura (partly to do with her Phoenix God powers I think?). She cries, remembering Yun Che's sacrifice. She then says she wants to visit the north-ice-place-thing of the Blue Wind Empire since 3 years ago, Yun Che had promised he would take her to see it with him in 3 years time.

On the side of the Blue Wind Empire. Cang Yue now holds the final line as Phoenix Empire army is about to destroy her palace walls and final line of defense. 50,000 people on her side die, when an elder of the Phoenix Empire (who is supposed to just be watching) attacks and kills the Blue Wind Empire army. He then attacks Cang Yue, and she resolves herself, saying she will soon accompany her husband in death.

At this moment, Yun Che arrives, destroying the entire Phoenix Army and elder in the blink of an eye. Btw, people had come with him - Xiao Yun (who is now a prince of the Illusionary Demon Continent btw), his wife Tianxia Qi (they married!), and her brother Tianxia Yi to oversee/protect her. Cang Yue recognizes Yun Che, then he swoops down and holds her for a touching reunion.

Yun Che asks Xiao Yun whether he has killed before, to which he replies no. Yun Che tells him he should learn to kill if he wants to grow as a real man. He then flies back up, leaving the now exhausted/fainted Cang Yue under protection of Tianxia Qi to destroy the rest of the Phoenix Army.

And that's pretty much to the current RAWs.


Ask if you have any questions! TL;DR Good novel. Also, Cang Yue is the best waifu.
