Arc 30From the Pagoda to the Primordial World
Zhu Zi'an conquered lands and rose through the Jet-Black Treasure Pagoda’s trials alongside Xiao Bi, while Chi Yu’s interventions led to a new world shaped by the struggle between Calamity Source and Future Self. Dust and Huan guided that world through successive calamities, and Horizontal Sky’s lectures ushered its spirits into higher realms.
- Zhu Zi'an crushed Shuda’s army at Chang Jing City, conquered Shuda and Zhu Luo, founded the Xuan Empire, and eventually became World Emperor before returning to the pagoda.
- On the pagoda’s third floor, Zhu Zi'an met Xu Miaomiao and Wan Jun, inherited the Yin Yang Source Law, and helped the sect survive a devastating invasion that transformed its world.
- Mei Yingyin and Xiao Bi received inheritances in the Profound Vein Secret Realm, but Mei Yingyin failed her trial and was erased by Chi Yu after becoming a vengeful ghost.
- Zhu Zi'an, Xiao Bi, and the Black Robe Man passed the pagoda’s trials, defeated their counterparts, and received divided inheritances from the Lingtai Old Man.
- The three entered the Holy Source Realm, where crimson vines absorbed them and rebirthed them as Calamity Source, who invaded realms and pursued Future Self.
- Future Self escaped through myriad sources, and a surviving source created Heaven and Earth before Chi Yu sent a soul fragment that awakened as Dust.
- Dust protected Huan through the world’s early calamities, then helped him defeat Tu and directed living beings away from the Evil Sect’s source of power.
- After peace returned, Horizontal Sky lectured the spirits, raised the Eighteen Spirits to Mythical Great Luo, and appointed Approaching Heaven to govern Heaven and Earth.
