Ying Zheng secured the Yin Yang School’s submission and unified the Central Plains, while Bai Yu’s role in ending the Fierce Beast Calamity earned him vast merit and frightened Ancestral Dragon. The story left Bai Yu in seclusion as the Primordial World prepared for the Dragon-Han Calamity, and Ying Zheng turned his attention to ruling Qin.

  • Ying Zheng revealed that he had opened the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and absorbed their National Fortune, then compelled Eastern Emperor Taiyi to submit and shared the Immortal Dao with her and Moon God.
  • Shi Yaoyao returned to Myriad Worlds City with the Virtual-Real Spirit Mirror, and Sect Master Baiyue arranged for its research and the collection of Virtual-Real Qi.

  • Bai Yu sensed Yang Mei’s mastery of the Space Great Dao, but Yang Mei fled into the Outer Chaos rather than risk meeting him.
  • The Ferocious Beast Calamity ended with the extinction of the Ferocious Beast race, and Bai Yu received an immense pillar of Heavenly Dao Merit at the East Sea.
  • Ancestral Dragon suspected Bai Yu wielded an Innate Supreme Treasure and considered moving the Dragon Clan south, but Candle Dragon warned that abandoning the East Sea would undermine their foundations, so the clan stayed.
  • Bai Yu resumed his seclusion without refining his Heavenly Dao Merit, while the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans continued building strength ahead of the Dragon-Han Calamity.
  • Ying Zheng became immortal, unified the Central Plains ahead of schedule, developed Qin’s civilian infrastructure, and built an army of one hundred thousand Qi Refinement cultivators.
Chapters 401–425 Vol. 5 Read

Ch. 401The Yin Yang School, Where Women Flourished and Men Waned

Ch. 402Moon God: Oh no! My heart is fluttering!

Ch. 403Azure Dragon Qi, Dynastic Fortune

Ying Zheng refused to treat the Yin Yang School as an equal partner and confronted Eastern Emperor Taiyi about its interest in the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions. After revealing that he had already gathered the seven boxes and learned their secret, Ying Zheng added their immense National Fortune to Qin’s foundations, making its unification of the realm and centuries-long rule virtually inevitable.

  • Ying Zheng decided that the Yin Yang School would not enter Qin as a partner, despite his increased regard for Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
  • Ying Zheng asked Eastern Emperor Taiyi whether the Yin Yang School sought to enter Qin for the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
  • Eastern Emperor Taiyi admitted the School’s purpose and tried to persuade Ying Zheng that the seven mansions’ power was connected to immortality.

  • Ying Zheng revealed that he had secretly collected all seven boxes, opened them with his Golden Core Stage power, and learned that they contained the world-commanding National Fortune of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
  • Ying Zheng incorporated that National Fortune into Qin’s foundations, ensuring that Qin would unify the realm and endure for at least four or five hundred years.

Ch. 404Eastern Emperor Taiyi made his move, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was suppressed

Ying Zheng revealed the Phantom Sound Treasure Box and the seven bronze boxes to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who recognized them as the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and tried to seize them. An unseen power froze Eastern Emperor Taiyi and suppressed her True Qi, leaving her to suspect Ying Zheng had already obtained the power of Immortals.

  • Ying Zheng reflected that Great Qin's decline might have stemmed from losing the national fortune within the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions, though he knew this was only speculation.
  • Eastern Emperor Taiyi finished presenting her prepared argument and assumed Ying Zheng had been impressed.
  • Ying Zheng placed the Phantom Sound Treasure Box and seven bronze boxes before Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who recognized the boxes as the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.
  • Eastern Emperor Taiyi tried to seize the boxes and flee, but an unknown power immobilized her and rendered her True Qi dormant.
  • Eastern Emperor Taiyi wondered whether Ying Zheng had unlocked the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and gained the power of Immortals.

Ch. 405Ying Zheng: Eastern Emperor Taiyi really was fragile as glass

Ying Zheng subdued Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon God with Magic Power, then demanded that the Yin Yang School serve Qin as subordinates. Eastern Emperor Taiyi accepted, recognizing that she had no realistic alternative.

  • Eastern Emperor Taiyi realized Ying Zheng had claimed the power of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions and fell into despair.

  • Ying Zheng offered Eastern Emperor Taiyi the Method of Foundation Establishment to Immortality, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi prostrated himself and swore the Yin Yang School’s loyalty unto death.

Ch. 407Ying Zheng Crossed the River by Feeling His Way Along Zhu Wushi

Ying Zheng planned to build Great Qin into a fortune dynasty and future Heavenly Court, using Zhu Wushi’s Great Ming as a model while preparing reforms and education. Meanwhile, the group members returned to Myriad Worlds City with the Virtual-Real Spirit Mirror and began assessing its abilities and limits.

  • Ying Zheng decided that Great Qin would eventually unify the world, enlighten its people, and control their thoughts as it expanded into other worlds.
  • Ying Zheng recognized that building a fortune dynasty would take years or decades and that he first wanted to become an immortal so he could devote more energy to reform.
  • Ying Zheng wondered whether a transmigrator had introduced stockings to the Warring States period and considered investigating the clothing industry.
  • Shi Yaoyao and the other group members returned from the Qin Shi world to Yaohua Pavilion in Myriad Worlds City with the Virtual-Real Spirit Mirror.
  • The group members discussed testing the mirror, which could turn false things real with enough Virtual-Real Qi, but had failed to create World Origin using ten million strands.
  • The group members identified the Virtual-Real Spirit Mirror as the Chat Group’s second most powerful supreme treasure, after the Earth Yellow Bell.

Ch. 408The Question of Mortal Utilization

Shi Yaoyao entrusted Sect Master Baiyue with researching the Virtual-Real Spirit Mirror and collecting Virtual-Real Qi across the worlds controlled by the Chat Group. The group members considered how separating mortals from cultivators would help harvest more Qi, and Baiyue delegated the work to trusted bishops while protecting the mirror with a Great Dao brand.

  • Shi Yaoyao gave Sect Master Baiyue the Virtual-Real Spirit Mirror research and opened the Chat Group’s controlled worlds to him for collecting Virtual-Real Qi.
  • The group members recognized that mortals were barely used in their peaceful, tightly managed cultivation worlds and reasoned that stricter immortal-mortal separation would make the Virtual-Real Spirit Mirror more effective.
  • The group members noted that harvesting Virtual-Real Qi would take time, while Yang Jian remained untroubled about not yet comprehending the mysterious realm.
  • Sect Master Baiyue assigned several trusted bishops to collect Virtual-Real Qi instead of doing the repetitive work himself.
  • Sect Master Baiyue used the Earth Yellow Bell to place a Great Dao brand on the mirror, which only a twenty-sixth-order Daluo Golden Immortal could erase.

Ch. 409Fierce Beast Calamity Erupts in Full

Bai Yu had reached the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and turned his attention from cultivation to the full-scale Fierce Beast Calamity. The innate races and divine beings launched campaigns to purge the Ferocious Beasts, with the Dragon, Black Tortoise, Qilin, White Tiger, and Phoenix Clans leading their respective regions.

  • Bai Yu comprehended seventy percent of the Space Great Dao and stopped his seclusion as the Fierce Beast Calamity erupted.
  • Innate Divine Demons and innate races began large-scale campaigns to purge Ferocious Beasts and protect the Primordial World.
  • The Dragon Clan led purges across the seas, while the Black Tortoise Clan held influence in the North Sea and West Sea.
  • The Qilin, White Tiger, and Phoenix Clans led the purges across the Eastern, Western, and Southern Continents.
  • The five powerful clans had not yet sought supremacy over the Primordial World because their strength and foundations were still insufficient.

Ch. 410The Ferocious Beast Emperor Was Gone?

The chapter explained how Bai Yu’s killing of Shen Ni severed the Ferocious Beast Clan’s destiny and prevented another Ferocious Beast Emperor from appearing. With the clan divided among more than a dozen Ferocious Beast Kings, the calamity was far less dangerous, while Bai Yu remained on Penglai Immortal Island holding the God-Slaying Spear.

  • The five great innate races and Innate Divine Demons fought across the Primordial World to purge the Ferocious Beasts, while Bai Yu stayed on Penglai Immortal Island.
  • The Ferocious Beast Clan failed to produce a new emperor after Bai Yu killed Shen Ni, and more than a dozen Ferocious Beast Kings divided its destiny.
  • Bai Yu learned through the Destiny Great Dao that his karmic ties from killing Shen Ni had severed the clan’s destiny, preventing it from gathering around a new emperor.
  • The Ferocious Beast Clan could not restore its destiny by killing Bai Yu or by seeking help from the Primordial Heavenly Dao, leaving its kings divided and unable to replace Shen Ni.
  • The chapter concluded that without an emperor, the Ferocious Beast Clan posed a reduced threat, while Bai Yu still held Shen Ni’s God-Slaying Spear.

Ch. 411The Shift in the Great Trend of the Calamity

Bai Yu’s killing of Shen Ni had split the Ferocious Beast Clan’s fortune and changed the great trend of the Fierce Beast Calamity. The chapter explained that without Shen Ni, the clan could no longer produce an emperor powerful enough to make the calamity a true threat to the Primordial World.

  • Bai Yu’s slaying of Shen Ni severed the Ferocious Beast Clan’s fortune, dividing it into more than a dozen portions.
  • The divided fortune left the Ferocious Beast Clan unable to produce another Fierce Beast Emperor, so its Fierce Beast Kings remained far weaker than Shen Ni could have become.
  • Innate Divine Demons such as Hongjun, Luohu, and Ancestor Yin Yang were the main force fighting powerful Ferocious Beasts, while innate races dealt with lesser ones.
  • Shen Ni would have used the clan’s fortune to reach the late stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, but Bai Yu had unknowingly prevented that outcome.
  • Bai Yu had not foreseen the consequences of killing Shen Ni and had assumed the Ferocious Beast Clan would eventually produce a new Fierce Beast Emperor.

Ch. 412The Farcical Fierce Beast Calamity

After Bai Yu killed Shen Ni, the Fierce Beast Calamity became a low-risk opportunity for the Primordial World’s powers to hunt Ferocious Beasts, claim Heavenly Dao Merit, and seize resources. Bai Yu watched the world’s powerful beings strip it bare and concluded that its strongest Innate Divine Beings controlled its wealth and influence.

  • The chapter explained that the Heavenly Dao opposed the Ferocious Beast race and rewarded those who purged it, making the calamity a contest over merit, territory, and resources.
  • With Shen Ni gone, Hongjun, Luohu, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Old Ancestor Qiankun hunted Ferocious Beasts freely and competed for kills and Heavenly Dao Merit.
  • The top-tier Innate Divine Demons annihilated Ferocious Beasts across the Primordial World while collecting Innate Spiritual Roots and treasures.
  • The innate races swept through Ferocious Beast territory, taking everything they found, including resources the Grand Unity Golden Immortals ignored.
  • From Penglai Immortal Island, Bai Yu observed the destruction and reflected that powerful beings such as the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, and Tai Yi controlled the Primordial World’s wealth and influence.

Ch. 413The Calamity Ends! A Glimpse into Destiny!

The Fierce Beast Calamity ended within one era after the Ferocious Beast race lost its top combat power and the Innate Divine Demons and major innate races swept through it. Bai Yu recognized how his actions had changed the Primordial World and used the Destiny Great Dao to glimpse its future.

  • The Fierce Beast Calamity ended after an era, with only tens of millions of scattered Ferocious Beasts remaining and the Grand Unity Golden Immortals already purged.
  • The Innate Divine Demons returned home, while the Dragon Clan, Qilin Clan, and other powerful innate races stopped hunting the remaining Ferocious Beasts after claiming the spoils.
  • Bai Yu concluded that the Ferocious Beast race had been defeated because it lacked a Fierce Beast Emperor to unite its kings and lead its overwhelming numbers.
  • Bai Yu reflected that his influence had changed the original course of the Primordial World, but he no longer needed to rely on its original plot.
  • Bai Yu used the Destiny Great Dao, which he had comprehended one-tenth of, to begin glimpsing destinies in the Primordial World.

Ch. 414Found a Sneaky One! Ancestor Yang Mei!

Bai Yu spotted another cultivator who had comprehended the Space Great Dao to seventy percent and suspected he was Ancestor Yang Mei. As Yang Mei fled into the Outer Chaos, his past revealed how he had survived two of Pangu’s axe blows.

  • Bai Yu watched the Fierce Beast Calamity from Penglai Immortal Island and observed Hongjun, Luohu, Yin-Yang Ancestor, and Qiankun Ancestor wielding their treasures.
  • Bai Yu detected a mysterious cultivator using the Space Great Dao and realized the stranger had comprehended it to the same seventy-percent level as he had.
  • The stranger sensed Bai Yu and briefly clashed with his Space Great Dao before fleeing into the Endless Void and then the Outer Chaos.
  • Bai Yu suspected the stranger was Ancestor Yang Mei and wanted to meet him to discuss the Dao, but Yang Mei’s rapid escape left him astonished.
  • Yang Mei’s past revealed that Pangu had killed him with two axe blows after Yang Mei incorrectly trusted his ability to survive a single strike.

Ch. 415Yang Mei Was Scared Witless

Yang Mei secretly used his seventy-percent Space Great Dao to kill Ferocious Beasts and believed no one in the Primordial World could threaten him except the Heavenly Dao. His confidence shattered when he sensed another wielder of the Space Great Dao whose aura seemed even stronger than his own.

  • Pangu killed Yang Mei in the Chaos, but Yang Mei reincarnated in the Primordial World and recovered a contingency that let him advance his Space Great Dao to seventy percent.
  • Yang Mei reached the late stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and hid in overlapping layers of space, secretly killing Grand Unity Golden Immortal Ferocious Beasts.
  • Yang Mei kept his strength hidden from Hongjun, Luohu, and the other Innate Divine Demons, while deciding to remain in the Primordial World and avoid their plans to claim it.
  • Yang Mei sensed another force of the Space Great Dao that seemed several degrees stronger than his own, leaving him terrified.

Ch. 416Yang Mei: The Wind's Picking Up—Run!

Yang Mei fled after detecting Bai Yu, who had wanted to discuss the Space Great Dao with him but let him go. Meanwhile, the Ferocious Beast race was eradicated, the great tribulation’s Calamity Qi dispersed, and Mysterious Yellow Merit filled the Primordial World.

  • Yang Mei sensed Bai Yu’s seven-tenths comprehension of the Space Great Dao and fled into the chaos beyond heaven rather than risk meeting him.
  • Bai Yu chose not to pursue Yang Mei and suspected that Yang Mei possessed an Innate Supreme Treasure that hid his Great Dao aura.
  • Bai Yu turned his attention back to the Primordial Continent as the cleanup of the remaining Ferocious Beasts continued.
  • The last Ferocious Beasts were slain, leaving the Ferocious Beast race extinct, though some innate races retained limited Ferocious Beast bloodlines.
  • The Calamity Qi dissipated, and Mysterious Yellow Merit spread across the Primordial World, bathing the Primordial Continent and Four Seas in golden light.

Ch. 417Heavenly Dao Merit and Great Dao Merit

The Heavenly Dao distributed merit to those who fought in the Fierce Beast Calamity, and Hongjun collected his reward. The chapter explained how Heavenly Dao Merit differed from the rarer Great Dao Merit, which Bai Yu still had no idea how to obtain.

  • After the Heavenly Dao finished condensing merit, pillars of varying sizes descended across the Primordial World to reward those who had slain Ferocious Beasts.
  • Hongjun collected his vast share of Heavenly Dao Merit with the Jade Plate of Creation and considered how it could strengthen his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
  • The chapter explained that Heavenly Dao Merit could indirectly support cultivation but could not directly improve comprehension of the Origin Great Dao, unlike Great Dao Merit.
  • Bai Yu recalled that he had tried staging the destruction and rescue of a low-level Great Thousand World, but the act had produced no Great Dao Merit.
  • Bai Yu concluded that saving a world through such a staged performance was not a way to obtain Great Dao Merit.

Ch. 418Minimal Effort, Maximum Gain

Mysterious Yellow Merit gathered above the East Sea for years without descending, puzzling the Primordial World's inhabitants. Bai Yu realized it was waiting for him, and when he appeared at the shore, the merit poured down on him.

  • Innate Beings gathered at the East Sea to watch thirty-eight layers of Golden Merit Clouds linger overhead, while Grand Unity Golden Immortals wondered who would receive them.
  • Bai Yu used the Space Great Dao to survey the East Sea and suspected the merit was meant for him because it could not find its recipient.
  • Bai Yu appeared at the East Sea shore, and the Golden Merit Clouds immediately churned in response.
  • A vast pillar of merit light descended on Bai Yu, and the gathered Innate Beings sensed his overwhelming power but could not see his face.
  • Bai Yu received the abundant merit and realized his role in the Fierce Beast Calamity had earned him immense rewards despite his remaining secluded.

Ch. 419Ancestral Dragon: This Question Is Too Hard! Dragon Dragon Doesn't Know How to Solve It!

After Bai Yu returned to Penglai Immortal Island, Ancestral Dragon wondered whether he concealed his Great Dao with an Innate Supreme Treasure. Ancestral Dragon recalled how a Golden Bridge had effortlessly annihilated a Ferocious Beast King and its horde, leaving him longing for a supreme treasure of his own.

  • Bai Yu vanished from the East Sea and returned to Penglai Immortal Island, while Ancestral Dragon suspected an Innate Supreme Treasure hid Bai Yu's Great Dao aura.
  • Ancestral Dragon recalled leading Candle Dragon and several dragon elders against a middle-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Ferocious Beast King, but their years of fighting inflicted only minor injuries.
  • Ancestral Dragon and the Ferocious Beast King both began withdrawing from the battle, then a Golden Bridge appeared and instantly ground the king to nothing before taking its High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
  • Ancestral Dragon saw that the Golden Bridge had also annihilated the surrounding Ferocious Beasts and recognized its flawless power as the manifestation of an Innate Supreme Treasure.
  • Ancestral Dragon felt powerless and longed to obtain an Innate Supreme Treasure for himself.

Ch. 420Ancestral Dragon: I'm moving!

After being shaken by the power of an Innate Supreme Treasure, Ancestral Dragon suspected that its mysterious owner lived in the East Sea and began considering moving the Dragon Clan's base to the South Sea. He returned to the Dragon Palace troubled, leaving Candle Dragon worried that the clan faced a grave danger.

  • Ancestral Dragon recalled how the Golden Bridge had instantly subdued a Ferocious Beast king and suppressed him despite not targeting him.
  • Ancestral Dragon suspected the Daluo Golden Immortal who had left the East Sea shore possessed an Innate Supreme Treasure and had embodied the Space Great Dao.
  • Ancestral Dragon realized the mysterious Daluo Golden Immortal might live in the East Sea and considered moving the Dragon Clan to the South Sea.
  • Ancestral Dragon ruled out moving to the West Sea or North Sea, since the West Sea was distant and war with the Black Tortoise Clan would risk a costly victory.
  • Ancestral Dragon returned to the Dragon Palace, where Candle Dragon saw his troubled expression and feared for the Dragon Clan's survival.

Ch. 421Candle Dragon: No need to move!

Ancestral Dragon worried that a mysterious Daluo Golden Immortal in the East Sea endangered the Dragon Clan and considered relocating the clan to the South Sea. Candle Dragon argued that they did not need to move, leaving Ancestral Dragon waiting for his reasoning.

  • Ancestral Dragon explained to Candle Dragon why he feared the mysterious expert could threaten the Dragon Clan and why he was considering moving south.
  • Candle Dragon pondered the matter and told Ancestral Dragon that the clan did not need to relocate.
  • Candle Dragon asked whether Ancestral Dragon wanted to leave because the expert’s cultivation ground was in the East Sea.
  • Ancestral Dragon agreed and said the East Sea would be small to a Daluo Golden Immortal, especially one who wielded the Space Great Dao.
  • The chapter explained that Ancestral Dragon had comprehended the Water Dao, while Candle Dragon alone in the clan had comprehended the Time Great Dao.

Ch. 422Five Elements Great Dao! See One Path Through to the End!

The chapter explained why Ancestral Dragon chose the Water Dao but planned to master all five elemental Origin Great Daos to prove the Dao, despite the risks of dividing his focus. Bai Yu contrasted that ambition with his own decision to prioritize the Space Dao, leaving his other Great Daos far less developed so he could prove the Dao through his strongest path.

  • Ancestral Dragon abandoned attempts to pursue the Space, Time, Destiny, Karma, and Creation Great Daos and chose the Water Dao that best suited him.
  • Ancestral Dragon planned to use the Water Dao as a foundation to comprehend the other four elemental Origin Great Daos and prove the Dao through all five.
  • The chapter explained that the Five Elements Great Dao meant five distinct Origin Great Daos whose mutual generation and restraint gave them an advantage when mastered together.
  • Bai Yu continued to focus on the Space Dao, which he had comprehended to seventy percent, while keeping his Time Dao at thirty percent and his Destiny and Karma Great Daos at ten percent each.
  • Bai Yu’s mastery of the Space Dao had allowed him to drive Yang Mei away, reinforcing his choice to prioritize quality over the number of Great Daos he comprehended.

Ch. 423Ancestral Dragon had a little too much going on in his head

Ancestral Dragon considered moving the Dragon Clan from the East Sea to avoid a mysterious Daluo Golden Immortal with an Innate Supreme Treasure, but Candle Dragon reminded him that the East Sea was essential to their ambitions. Ancestral Dragon abandoned the relocation plan and remained set on dominating the Four Seas.

  • Candle Dragon questioned why the Dragon Clan needed to move to the South Sea when it had neither angered nor opposed the mysterious expert.
  • Ancestral Dragon explained that the expert's overwhelming strength and the Dragon Clan's arrogance could make them targets regardless of any past offense.
  • Candle Dragon warned that leaving the East Sea would undermine the Dragon Clan's foundations and its goal of dominating the Four Seas.
  • Ancestral Dragon reconsidered the move, deciding that abandoning the East Sea would prevent the Dragon Clan from competing with the North Sea's Black Tortoise Clan.
  • The Dragon Clan stayed in the East Sea, while Bai Yu remained unaware of how much Ancestral Dragon had worried over the matter.

Ch. 424Golden Immortals Are Common as Dogs, Grand Unity Golden Immortals Roam Everywhere

After the Fierce Beast Calamity, Bai Yu returned to seclusion and rejected Heavenly Dao Merit as too tainted to risk using. The Primordial World entered a prosperous era as its inhabitants grew stronger, while Bai Yu explained that the Primordial Heavenly Dao set each calamity to last fifty thousand yuanhui.

  • Bai Yu watched the Fierce Beast Calamity from the sidelines, unexpectedly gained the most Heavenly Dao Merit, and resumed his seclusion afterward.
  • Bai Yu avoided refining Heavenly Dao Merit because he believed its traces of the Primordial Heavenly Dao could contaminate his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

It left Ying Zheng with a modernized realm and a formidable cultivation army, including one hundred thousand Qi Refinement soldiers and Foundation Establishment officers.
