What free means here
Free is not the same on every platform. On most of them the older chapters are free and only the newest ones cost money. Some hand you one more chapter every few hours if you are happy to wait. Some give you the opening chapters and then ask you to pay. The table above says exactly what each one gives you, and which country it works in.
Why every link here is an official one
A scan site costs you nothing and pays the people who made Astral Sutra nothing. It also tends to carry the kind of advert you do not want on your phone. manhwaindex lists licensed platforms only. We hold no chapters of our own, and we take no cut from the platforms we send you to.
