Chapter Summaries

Qin Xuan guided Tongtian to establish the Jie Sect by appealing to the Great Dao and Pangu rather than the Heavenly Dao. When the declaration drew no response, Qin Xuan helped Tongtian realize that he first had to break free of Hongjun’s school, and Tongtian renounced his master and the Mystic Sect.

• Qin Xuan reminded Tongtian that Pangu, not the Heavenly Dao, was his source and urged him to establish a sect for all living beings.

Patriarch Nether River established the Asura Sect and received a small amount of merit, then tried making great vows to borrow more but received no response.

• Yuanshi Tianzun mocked Nether River, while Jieyin and Zhunti watched his sect founding with interest.

As four Saints and other great powers converged on the North Sea to obtain Kunpeng wings as a wedding gift, Kunpeng was trapped and heard Jieyin propose using Saintly power to make his wings regenerate repeatedly. The Saints considered the scheme while Kunpeng desperately hoped Grand Supreme Laozi and Tongtian would refuse.

Two thousand years later, preparations for the wedding at Buzhou Mountain were nearly complete, with Fuxi eagerly helping the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

After the Great Dao established Dao weddings as a rule, Heavenly Dao Merit also poured down on Qin Xuan, Nüwa, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao devised a plan to preserve heavenly weddings, while Qin Xuan led Nüwa to the rear hall and Zhurong proposed spying on them.

• Qin Xuan praised Kong Xuan and Four-Alike as promising seedlings, prompting Kong Xuan to boldly ask to become Qin Xuan's disciple.
• Qin Xuan said Kong Xuan would have to pass a trial and sent a palm print of pure will toward him.

The crowd left with Hongjun’s control over future Heavenly Dao Sages exposed, but their own paths to the Dao remained uncertain.

• Yuanfeng awoke in Undying Volcano and sensed the Phoenix Clan’s dormant fate rising, then worried about how to repay Qin Xuan.
• Qin Xuan began sending the gathered powers away, prompting Dijun to ask whether another path to sainthood existed beyond merit and the Three Corpses Technique.
• Qin Xuan said that attaining the Dao through laws was a third path, but claimed the others had already committed to the Three Corpses path and could not easily start over.
• Qin Xuan argued that the Three Corpses Technique was flawed because spiritual treasures of different origins could not merge, making advancement beyond peak Quasi-Sage nearly impossible.
