Xia Zhi opened Taiyu Courtyard for lectures and taught the first diagram of the Universe Chaos Tablet to a large gathering of cultivators. After the lecture, Huang Chen stepped forward to seek Xia Zhi as his master, while Mizo King and King Chaman discussed Huang Chen’s choice.

• Huang Chen entered Taiyu Courtyard to attend Xia Zhi’s first lecture and spoke with a six-eared elder about the Universe School and Mizo King.

Xia Zhi refused to take Huang Chen as a disciple unless he passed the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge within thirty years, then continued lecturing and cultivating. After completing more than 3.2 million battles, Xia Zhi gave Glory Points to human and Hong Alliance inheritors by deliberately conceding, prompting the Lightning Beast God to revise the rules.

He perfected the third level of The Way of the Beast God, created the body-changing secret technique Dharma Heaven Manifestation Earth, and left his residence to accept an inheritance as foreign Venerables watched.

The Guardian Beast God warned the island’s inheritors against attacking Xia Zhi, who entered the Inheritance Land while his enemies began planning to strike when he left the lake’s protection.

• Venerable Jueguang sent King Changyong to attack Xia Zhi’s puppet body and force out his clone, then prepared a soul attack of his own.

• The City Lord of Chaos watched Taiyu Tower and anticipated Xia Zhi’s World Tree clone being conceived.
• Xia Zhi’s gray egg cracked, revealing a giant black-jade tree that he named the Hong Meng Tree Clone.
• Xia Zhi discovered that the clone could Devour Heaven and Earth to absorb energy and control surrounding space-time, and could use Branch and Plant to create same-Gene-Level tree-person clones.
• The Hong Meng Tree absorbed gray energy beyond Xia Zhi’s Internal World, rapidly increasing in size and Gene Level.
• Xia Zhi realized the tree-person clones could serve as combatants and reserves of divine power, then directed the Hong Meng Tree’s roots to keep absorbing gray energy.
