Chapter Summaries

Di Jun and Tai Yi waited outside Longevity Mountain for a thousand years but could not break through the Earth Book’s defenses to seize Hong Yun’s Purple Qi of Hongmeng. Zhunti and Jieyin arrived, saw the stalemate, and stayed hidden rather than risk exposing themselves.

• The narration explained that Zhen Yuanzi had refined thirty-six of the Earth Book’s forty-eight innate restrictions, giving Longevity Mountain formidable defenses.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi concluded that Hong Yun would likely remain inside Wuzhuang Temple and despaired as the Chaos Bell failed to break the Earth Book’s barrier.
• After a thousand years of waiting, Di Jun and Tai Yi prepared to leave and pursue their other undertaking because they could not reach the Purple Qi of Hongmeng.
• Zhunti and Jieyin arrived expecting a battle, saw the thousands of Daluo Golden Immortals unable to overcome the Earth Book’s defenses, and remained concealed at a distance.

Di Jun and Tai Yi left the siege at Longevity Mountain to build their faction and gather providence, while Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun stayed protected inside. As rival powers fought across the Primordial World, Di Jun and Tai Yi balanced their expanding enterprise with time spent comprehending the Origin Great Dao.

• Zhunti and Jieyin watched the Daluo Golden Immortals surrounding Longevity Mountain, then left to return to Mount Sumeru and contemplate their Purple Qi of Hongmeng.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi departed with most of their subordinates to build their faction and secure providence, leaving a small group behind to watch Longevity Mountain.
• Over ten thousand years, the Daluo Golden Immortals outside Longevity Mountain dwindled to a few dozen, while Zhen Yuanzi kept the Earth Book's defensive formation active and entered seclusion.
• As Daluo Golden Immortals multiplied, factions fought across the continents and Four Seas for territory and providence, while the Dragon Clan retained only fading authority over the Sea Clan.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi gained cultivation through their growing providence but made limited progress in comprehending the Origin Great Dao, so they delegated authority to make time for cultivation.

Di Jun and Tai Yi founded the Demon Race as new factions emerged across the Primordial World. Kunpeng established Northern Darkness Palace to help him pursue Hong Yun’s Purple Qi of Hongmeng, while the Dragon Clan’s remaining strength kept the Four Seas relatively stable.

• Di Jun and Tai Yi proclaimed the founding of the Demon Race, unaware it would become a protagonist of the next calamity.
• Kunpeng founded Northern Darkness Palace, subdued several Daluo Golden Immortals, and prepared to use his followers to seize Hong Yun’s Purple Qi of Hongmeng.
• Kunpeng avoided the North Sea Dragon Palace because he could not gauge the Dragon Clan’s hidden reserves and feared Candle Dragon.
• The Dragon Clan retained some control over the Four Seas despite its karmic debt, while the Phoenix and Qilin Clans had abandoned their former territories.
• Daluo Golden Immortals seeking quiet places to cultivate increasingly moved their grotto-heavens and blessed lands to the East Sea.

Hongjun reflected on the Primordial World's mistaken belief that seven Sages had proved their Dao, while only he, Yang Mei, and the mysterious Bai Yu had done so. He recalled the Heavenly Dao warning him not to disturb Bai Yu, then envied Yang Mei's freedom as he longed to study the Destiny Great Dao.

• More Daluo Golden Immortals settled in the East Sea, which had become the Primordial World's safe harbor.
• Tongtian asked Hongjun about the six other supposed Sages, but Hongjun did not correct the misunderstanding that seven Sages existed.
• Hongjun recalled that the Heavenly Dao had revealed Bai Yu's Dao sanctum was in the East Sea and warned him not to disturb Bai Yu.
• Hongjun obeyed the warning and never investigated Bai Yu, even after merging with the Dao.
• Hongjun envied Yang Mei's freedom to comprehend the Time Great Dao and wished he could study the Destiny Great Dao.
• Hongjun hoped his disciples would become Sages soon so they could take over his work and let him enter seclusion.

Hongjun remained too busy managing the Primordial World to pursue the Destiny Great Dao, while King Father of the East built the Immortal Alliance and sought greater power. Golden Mother rejected his invitation to join forces, judging him and the alliance unwise bets, and kept her distance from him.

• Hongjun put off seclusion because his disciples were not yet Heavenly Dao Saints and he had to manage the Primordial World himself.
• King Father of the East founded the Immortal Alliance, sharing authority with its Daluo Golden Immortals because he lacked the strength to rule alone.
• King Father of the East claimed that Hong Yun's Purple Qi of Hongmeng rightfully belonged to him as Head of Male Immortals.
• King Father of the East invited Golden Mother to become Dao Companions with him and develop the Immortal Alliance together.
• Golden Mother refused, considered the Immortal Alliance doomed, and decided to keep her distance from King Father of the East.

The Golden Mother rejected the King Father of the East’s plans and withdrew to West Kunlun, where she avoided governing the female immortals. Hongjun judged that her choice let her escape the heavy burden of the Head of Male Immortals title, which he regarded as a trap for the Wood Duke.

• The Golden Mother refused the King Father of the East’s invitations, returned to West Kunlun, and took in female immortals who had been bullied.
• The Golden Mother stayed in West Kunlun and styled herself the Queen Mother of the West, leaving her title as Head of Female Immortals largely unused.
• The Primordial World’s immortals gradually stopped paying attention to the Queen Mother of the West, while many female immortals still acknowledged her strength and position.
• Hongjun questioned the Wood Duke’s qualifications to be Head of Male Immortals and noted that even the Three Pure Ones could not bear the title’s burden.
• Hongjun approved of the Golden Mother’s retreat and blamed the Heavenly Dao for appointing the Wood Duke.

The chapter described the Demon Race’s growing influence and the Witch Clan’s ambition to manage the Primordial World. The Twelve Ancestor Witches created a host of witches and Great Shamans, leaving them with a new force but no remaining Pangu heartblood.

• Di Jun and Tai Yi built the Demon Race into a powerful force, though its broad definition of demons did not win recognition from the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun.
• The Twelve Ancestor Witches believed Pangu’s descendants should manage the Primordial World and saw unification as only the first step toward that goal.
• The Twelve Ancestor Witches used the remaining Pangu heartblood in Pangu Hall to nurture twelve Great Shamans from their blood essence.
• The blood pool then produced tens of thousands of ordinary witches, leaving no Pangu heartblood behind.
• The Twelve Ancestor Witches welcomed the witches’ numbers and the Great Shamans’ potential to grow stronger.

The Witch Clan stayed hidden inside Pangu Hall while the Demon Race expanded across the Primordial World, subduing innate races and claiming their territories. With countless factions still competing for unclaimed land, the East Sea grew crowded enough that Bai Yu considered moving from Penglai Immortal Island.

• The Witch Clan remained in Pangu Hall, where its ample space and cultivation resources let the witches develop without venturing outside.
• The Demon Race used a blessed grotto-heaven on the Eastern Continent as its headquarters because the Sun Star was too dangerous and Buzhou Mountain’s summit remained inaccessible.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi subdued innate races and took control of their territories while allowing the local races to keep managing them.
• Di Jun accepted that governance would take time and relied on the Demon Race’s strength to deter resistance as it continued claiming territory.
• Thousands of factions competed for land without yet attacking one another, making the Primordial World increasingly chaotic.
• Daluo Golden Immortals crowded the area around Penglai Immortal Island, and Bai Yu considered moving despite the island remaining hidden.

Hong Yun struggled to comprehend the Purple Qi of Hongmeng while hiding in Wuzhuang Temple, growing anxious about his weakness and the dangers outside. Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones discovered that Hongjun’s bestowed Purple Qi was an impure foundation of Sagehood, and that Heavenly Dao Saints’ borrowed power concealed serious limitations.

• Refugees from the Primordial Continent settled across the four seas, adding to the disorder spreading through the Primordial World.
• The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, Nuwa, and Fuxi remained in seclusion rather than entering the turmoil, while Hong Yun studied the Purple Qi of Hongmeng at Wuzhuang Temple.
• Hong Yun failed to comprehend any of the Purple Qi, feared leaving Longevity Mountain, and wondered whether his own anxiety was preventing progress.
• The Three Pure Ones learned that Hongjun’s Purple Qi contained the Origin of Heavenly Dao as well as the Origin of the Great Dao, making it a foundation of Sagehood rather than a pure foundation of the Great Dao.
• The Three Pure Ones understood that Heavenly Dao Saints could rival Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals within the Primordial World but lacked true Great Dao attainment and could be overpowered outside Heavenly Dao’s influence.

Bai Yu understood that the Purple Qi of Hongmeng allowed Heavenly Dao to control anyone who merged with it, while the Three Pure Ones and the other recipients believed it was a path to Sagehood. The Three Pure Ones decided that merging with it required no further preparation, leaving them unaware of the danger and their mistaken assumptions.

• Bai Yu recognized that Heavenly Dao controlled the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and had barred Hong Yun from comprehending it.
• Bai Yu kept the truth that Heavenly Dao forbade Hunyuan proof from the Primordial World's inhabitants, while Hongjun and Yang Mei also remained silent.
• The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa gained some comprehension of the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and celebrated its aid to Dao comprehension.
• The Three Pure Ones learned that fully comprehending the Purple Qi of Hongmeng would let them merge with it and begin proving the Dao as Sages.
• The Three Pure Ones wondered whether they still needed to perfect their origin Great Dao, then decided the Purple Qi had omitted that requirement because it was common knowledge.

Hong Yun remained unable to comprehend the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and stayed inside Longevity Mountain, while Zhunti and Jieyin worried he might become a Sage and wanted his purple qi for the Western Continent. Di Jun’s forces watched the mountain from afar, and Di Jun and Fuxi used their divination abilities to track Hong Yun’s heavenly secrets.

• Hong Yun failed to comprehend the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and felt too uneasy to leave Longevity Mountain, finding safety only beside Zhen Yuanzi at Wuzhuang Temple.
• Zhunti and Jieyin feared Hong Yun might attain the Dao and wanted to seize his purple qi to strengthen the Western Continent.
• Di Jun and other would-be pursuers stationed subordinates and surveillance formations far beyond Longevity Mountain, surrounding it in every direction while they waited for Hong Yun to leave.
• Di Jun repeatedly used the River Diagram and Luo Book to divine Hong Yun’s heavenly secrets despite the concealment of the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.
• Fuxi used his Heavenly Secrets Compass and his own divination skill, which gave him an edge over Di Jun in divining heavenly secrets.

The chapter explained the limits of divination in the Primordial World and why Di Jun used the River Diagram and Luo Book to keep calculating Hong Yun’s future. It ended with Hong Yun protected by the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and the Earth Book, which concealed his heavenly secrets.

• The chapter explained that no one could divine the Primordial World's future, while an individual's future could be calculated only up to a hundred years ahead.
• It described how measuring tribulations or deliberate interference could throw heavenly secrets into chaos and block divination.
• Di Jun used the River Diagram and Luo Book to automatically divine Hong Yun's future, while Fuxi relied on the Heavenly Secrets Compass and calculated it only occasionally.
• The chapter explained that the future constantly changed, so Di Jun repeatedly recalculated Hong Yun's heavenly secrets rather than waiting a hundred years.
• Hong Yun's Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and the Earth Book concealed his heavenly secrets.

Di Jun repeatedly divined Hong Yun’s heavenly secrets to pressure him into leaving Wuzhuang Temple, while Hong Yun’s frustration over the Purple Qi of Hongmeng’s resistance to comprehension grew. Hong Yun confided in Zhen Yuanzi, who began to suspect something was wrong with the Purple Qi.

• Di Jun used the River Diagram and Luo Book to divine Hong Yun’s heavenly secrets repeatedly, hoping prolonged pressure would eventually make him leave Longevity Mountain.
• Hong Yun grew increasingly agitated, could not focus on comprehending the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, and came out of seclusion to find Zhen Yuanzi.
• Beneath the Ginseng Fruit Tree, Hong Yun poured out his grievances to Zhen Yuanzi, nearly breaking into tears.
• Zhen Yuanzi wondered why Hong Yun could comprehend the Origin Great Dao but not the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, and suspected something might be wrong with it.

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi suspected that something was wrong with the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, but they could not verify it and continued studying it together. Meanwhile, Fuxi concluded that the Purple Qi was flawed, though he could not test Hong Yun’s without visiting Wuzhuang Temple, a trip he dared not make.

• Zhen Yuanzi told Hong Yun his suspicion that something was wrong with the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, and Hong Yun admitted he had wondered the same but could not prove it.
• Hong Yun invited Zhen Yuanzi to study the Purple Qi with him at Wuzhuang Temple, hoping Zhen Yuanzi’s results would help determine whether it was flawed.
• The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa and Fuxi, and Zhunti and Jieyin stayed in seclusion to study the Purple Qi, while Zhunti and Jieyin secretly divined the movements of Bai Ze and other Demon Race leaders.
• Fuxi watched Hong Yun and tried to persuade Nuwa not to seize his Purple Qi, believing she could become a Sage without it.
• Fuxi concluded from his visits to Kunlun Mountain and Mount Sumeru that the Purple Qi was flawed, but he could not visit Wuzhuang Temple to test Hong Yun’s and confirm his theory.

Fuxi tried to make Nuwa abandon her plan to seize the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, prioritizing her safety over his own chance to prove his Dao. The Three Pure Ones stayed out of the struggle and misjudged how much Hongjun valued fortune, while the chapter explained how Heavenly Dao Saints were bound by merit and fortune.

• Fuxi used every means to convince Nuwa that something was wrong with the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, hoping she would stop trying to seize it for him.
• The Three Pure Ones avoided entering the struggle over the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and focused on cultivation, contemplation, and refining their Innate Supreme Treasures.
• The Three Pure Ones dismissed Di Jun's and the King Father of the East's attempts to unify the Primordial World because Sages would not allow anyone to monopolize its fortune.
• The Three Pure Ones believed Hongjun valued merit and fortune, though he considered them of little use to a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
• The chapter explained that the Heavenly Dao used Sagehood to bind the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa, then used fortune and merit to constrain the Heavenly Dao Saints and living beings.

The Demon Race, Witch Clan, and Immortal Alliance formed a three-way balance on the Primordial Continent, while the weakened Dragon Clan struggled to hold the Four Seas against their expanding influence. Corpse-Slaying Quasi-Saints emerged as the Primordial World's new pinnacle of fighting strength.

• The Demon Race, Witch Clan, and Immortal Alliance became the three dominant powers on the Primordial Continent, bringing a fragile peace after years of conflict.
• The Dragon Clan's karmic burdens and weakened Daluo Golden Immortals left it unable to control the East Sea or gather the Four Seas' fortune.
• Di Jun and the King Father of the East sent the Demon Race and Immortal Alliance into the Four Seas, and the Dragon Clan could not stop their incursions.
• The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, Nuwa, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the King Father of the East performed Corpse-Slaying and became Quasi-Saints.
• The Twelve Ancestor Witches remained outside the Corpse-Slaying path but could threaten Quasi-Saints by joining forces, reinforcing the three powers' balance.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun remained unable to comprehend the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, while Di Jun and Tai Yi waited for Hong Yun to leave Wuzhuang Temple rather than attack its Earth Book defenses. Bai Yu had reached ninety-nine percent comprehension of the Creation Great Dao and considered how his breakthrough could benefit Nuwa.

• Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun grew frustrated that their focus on the Purple Qi of Hongmeng had hindered their Origin Great Dao comprehension, and Hong Yun increasingly wanted to leave Longevity Mountain.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi held back from attacking Wuzhuang Temple because they doubted Tai Yi could overcome the Earth Book's defenses, and they waited for Hong Yun to leave.
• Bai Yu reached ninety-nine percent comprehension of the Creation Great Dao and thought his attainment could help Nuwa advance in her own comprehension.
• Bai Yu looked toward Buzhou Mountain, where Nuwa and Fuxi remained within the Witch Clan's sphere of influence without being driven away by the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

The chapter explains that Bai Yu’s five Dao-proving events changed only minor currents, while the Primordial World’s greater tide and its fixed six Heavenly Dao Saint seats remained under the Heavenly Dao’s control. It leaves Bai Yu, Hongjun, and Yang Mei distinguished by their freedom and power outside the Primordial World, while future Heavenly Dao Saints would be confined and comparatively weak beyond it.

• Bai Yu’s five instances of proving the Dao altered minor currents but did not change the Primordial World’s greater tide.
• The chapter reveals that the Heavenly Dao forbade Primordial World beings from proving the Dao of Hunyuan and that Hongjun’s third sermon had settled the six Sage seats.
• Hongjun kept the restriction secret because he feared that learning the truth would plunge the Primordial World into chaos, while Yang Mei mistakenly believed the Heavenly Dao merely restricted Hunyuan-proven beings.
• Bai Yu was described as entirely free to leave the Primordial World, while Hongjun and Yang Mei could travel beyond it but remained subject to their posts as Heavenly Dao Representatives.
• Future Heavenly Dao Saints would be unable to leave the Primordial World without losing their thirtieth-order might, and the Heavenly Dao would only lend them its power for assigned missions.

After ten thousand years of relative calm, Bai Yu suspected that Pangu’s disappearance was connected to the Origin Blue Star World, though he feared visiting it to investigate. Having fully mastered the Creation Great Dao, he began attaining the Dao, and its radiance spread across the Primordial World.

• The Witch and Demon Clans and the Immortal Alliance continued preparing for a final showdown while the Dragon Clan remained sheltered in the Dragon Palace under pressure from the three powers.
• Di Jun focused on expanding the Demon Race, while Tai Yi cultivated in seclusion with the Chaos Bell.
• Bai Yu reasoned that the Origin Blue Star World might have captured Pangu, but decided he was too afraid to visit and verify the connection.
• Bai Yu completed his comprehension of the Creation Great Dao and began attaining the Dao in the East Sea.
• The Creation Great Dao’s radiance illuminated the night across the Primordial World, outshining the moon and the sun.

Bai Yu proved the Creation Great Dao, shocking the Primordial World and especially Nuwa, who had believed she would be the first to do so. The manifestation benefited Nuwa and other cultivators of the Creation Great Dao before Bai Yu successfully completed the process.

• The Creation Great Dao manifested, leading the Primordial World to wonder who was proving it and many to suspect Nuwa.
• Hongjun and Yang Mei recognized that Bai Yu was proving the Creation Great Dao and accepted the news without lasting surprise.
• Nuwa was horrified that someone had reached the Creation Great Dao before her, though the Dao Rhyme greatly advanced her comprehension.
• Living beings across the Primordial World prostrated themselves as two complete Creation Great Daos manifested and illuminated one another.
• Bai Yu swiftly and successfully proved the Creation Great Dao.
