• Wang Jixuan reached Earth after eleven days, and his spiritual sense suddenly jolted.

Wang Jixuan returned to Earth while three powerful cultivators searched for him, then went to the City in the Clouds to plan a way to contact Moon God Palace. As preparations began to open the Stone of the Past, he identified the cultivators and formed a plan to use one faction against another.

• Wang Jixuan followed Peony Number Two’s directions through a space transit station and returned to Earth while avoiding three cultivators searching for him.
• Peony Number Two reported that Peony and Amina were safe, while Wang Jixuan ordered Mechs to watch the cultivators and protect Treant Beta without endangering residents.

• Wang Jixuan decided to avoid revealing himself and began forming a plan to Drive Wolves Away by Driving in Tigers.

Wang Jixuan’s attempt to draw the three outsiders into conflict failed at first, but Wu Man’s group drove the Middle-aged Scholar away and forced the Heavenly Net and Dark Cult members to reveal themselves. As Wang Jixuan began an experiment with the Stone of the Past, the Middle-aged Scholar unexpectedly reappeared before Wu Man.

• Wang Jixuan’s crystal-core wreckage bait drew no response, so he sent Wu Man and four Spiritual Practitioners to confront the Middle-aged Scholar near the Giant Tree.
• The Middle-aged Scholar revealed immense power, gave Wu Man two Buddhist-art jade talismans, and departed through a multicolored portal after hearing that Wang Zheng was absent.
• Qin Mianrou spotted the departing scholar and sent word to Heavenly Net, then fought the Dark Cult’s old woman as Wang Jixuan’s forces moved in to surround them.

• Wang Jixuan began his Stone of the Past experiment, but the Middle-aged Scholar stepped out before Wu Man and cheerfully greeted him.

Wang Jixuan sought the Moon God Palace skeleton’s guidance about why the Heavenly Dao had marked him, while Yin Lin learned that True Person Baoyan and Dark Cult forces were heading for Earth. The skeleton concluded that Wang Jixuan himself—not his spirit servant or artifact-refining method—was likely destined to threaten the Heavenly Dao, then began demonstrating its abilities.

• Wang Jixuan entered the Moon God Palace and asked the skeleton who had given him the Moonlight Sword for guidance about the Heavenly Dao.
• Yin Lin learned that fifty or sixty Dark Cultists had gone to Earth and that True Person Baoyan was following with more than a dozen others, so he planned to attack their mountain gate after they departed.
• Wang Jixuan told the skeleton about his past lives, his work with the Heavenly Net, and the Heavenly Dao’s attention, and the skeleton suggested he might someday threaten the order of Heaven and Earth.
• The skeleton explained that the Heavenly Dao could predict but not determine the future, and that Wang Jixuan’s spirit servant and combined cultivation technology were not unusual enough to explain the mark.
• The skeleton concluded that Wang Jixuan himself had drawn the Heavenly Dao’s attention and began using a technique to show him what he could do.

Senior Bones traced the Heavenly Dao’s fear of Wang Jixuan to the potential he could gain through Peony and offered him a chance to inherit Moon God Palace’s legacy. After Wang Jixuan left, a Heavenly Immortal approached him, warned that Dark Cultists were on their way, and invited him to meet other people opposed to the Heavenly Dao.

• Senior Bones searched the River of Time and discovered that Wang Jixuan and Peony together had the potential to surpass the Grand Beginning Golden Immortal, which the Heavenly Dao feared.
• Senior Bones explained that the Heavenly Dao saw Peony as part of Wang Jixuan and invited him to return in three years to face three trials for Moon God Palace’s Dao Succession.
• Senior Bones sent Wang Jixuan away, and his body withered as he returned to his place among the skeletons in the hall.
• A Middle-aged Scholar met Wang Jixuan at Wu Man’s side, said he was familiar with the Heavenly Net and the Dark Cult, and explained that people opposed to the Heavenly Dao wanted to meet him.
• The Middle-aged Scholar warned Wang Jixuan that Dark Cultists would arrive in three to five days and offered to recommend him to his allies, while Wang Jixuan began arranging an evacuation and preparations for battle.

Wang Jixuan learned that the Dark Cult was gathering forces to use Earth to draw him out, while Han Xiao invited him to join the anti-Heavenly Dao Thousand Worlds Alliance. He decided to leave Earth and lure the attackers away, then hurried to ask Han Xiao for help reaching Elder Shao and Old Zheng.

• Wang Jixuan met Han Xiao, who invited him to join the Thousand Worlds Alliance and was awed when Wang revealed a trace of the Great Dao of Time.
• Wang Jixuan learned that the Alliance opposed the Heavenly Dao and had sent the Eight Immortals of the Firmament to locate and potentially rescue him.
• Wang Jixuan confirmed that True Person Baoyan and other Dark Cultists planned to attack Earth to force Wang Zheng to reveal himself.

• Wang Jixuan told Zhou Zhengde to protect his memories and hurried to ask Han Xiao to take him to Elder Shao and Old Zheng.

• Wang Jixuan asked Han Xiao to take him away from Earth and help draw the Dark Cultists off, agreeing to pay for the Eight Immortals’ aid.
• Han Xiao gathered the other seven members of the Eight Immortals of the Firmament and brought Wang Jixuan and Zheng Shiduo to Elder Shao’s Clone.

• The Eight Immortals appeared in their true bodies, broke the Immortal Spirit Path, and swept the Dark Cultists away with sword light, music, and waves.

Wang Jixuan returned to the Heavenly Net after the Eight Immortals of the Firmament destroyed the Dark Cultists pursuing him, and he realized their intervention would intensify the conflict between the Dark Cult and the Heavenly Net. As the Heavenly Net prepared to raid the Dark Cult's base, Wang Jixuan formed a plan to capture Pillar-Class Blade Beasts and use their strength to fight back.

• Wang Jixuan traveled back to Earth with his team while the war between Heavenly Net and the Dark Cult intensified, and Old Shao discussed the Thousand Worlds Alliance and the possibility that the conflict foreshadowed the Immeasurable Calamity.
• Wang Jixuan brought Old Shao to see Treant Beta, then asked Amina to locate Black Obsidian and Peony to gather forces and materials for capturing a Pillar-Class Blade Beast.
• Several days later, Wang Jixuan approached a Pillar-Class Blade Beast amid a fleet's attack, entered its body, and easily destroyed Cloaked Galinno and the souls within the Blissful Sky Curtain.
• Wang Jixuan found that his primordial spirit could not readily control the beast's huge body and that refining it and developing its combat power would require further work.
• Wang Jixuan released the strange soul and began using its soul power to control the Pillar-Class Blade Beast's flesh and blood, realizing he needed to start with its Sea of Grievances.

Wang Jixuan used Buddhist methods, the prayers of a planet’s inhabitants, and the power of the grieving souls to strengthen his Other Soul and control the Pillar-Class Blade Beast. The chapter ended with a solid Seated Buddha appearing on the beast as Wang’s attempt seemed to succeed.

• Elder Shao told Wang Jixuan that refining the Pillar-Class Blade Beast directly required Primordial Spirit Power beyond his means, so Wang decided to try his own method.
• Wang Jixuan used his Other Soul to form a Seated Buddha over the Sea of Grievances, but the image collapsed before it could take shape.
• Wang Jixuan asked Wu Man to gather the inhabitants of a nearby planet and have them recite a Buddhist scripture, while Peony prepared a planetwide broadcast.
• More than eighty percent of the planet’s inhabitants prayed, sending golden thought-power into the Pillar-Class Blade Beast as Wang Jixuan used his Other Soul to guide the grieving souls through Ghost Gate Pass.
• The grieving souls helped Wang Jixuan’s Other Soul grow stronger, and a solid Seated Buddha appeared on the Pillar-Class Blade Beast, leaving Elder Shao astonished.

Wang Jixuan used Buddhist rites to strengthen his Strange Soul and gain control of a Pillar-Class Blade Beast, then began planning how to refine it into a powerful combat body. As Peony detected four Stargates opening, Black Obsidian had contacted the Dark Cult and mobilized his forces after spotting what might be Wang Zheng.

• Wang Jixuan’s Strange Soul absorbed the planet’s chanting and purified the Pillar-Class Blade Beast’s grievances, growing powerful enough to take control of the beast.
• Black Obsidian’s scouts sent him images of the ritual, and he suspected Queen Peony was involved before reporting a possible trace of Black Storm Wang Zheng to the Dark Cult.
• The Dark Cult replied that experts would arrive soon, so Black Obsidian mobilized his forces and opened targeted Stargates.
• Wang Jixuan combined his Strange Soul with his primordial spirit and made the Pillar-Class Blade Beast move, giving his third Strange Soul Puppet strategic potential.
• Wang Jixuan and Elder Shao discussed formations for transforming and refining the beast, while Ling Tong and Fu Jian joined them.
• Peony detected spatial fluctuations and reported that four Stargates had opened simultaneously.

Wang Jixuan continued converting the Pillar-Class Blade Beasts while preparing a Super Transformation Formation, as a Dark Cult force was redirected toward him. After Yin Lin set out to warn and support him, Wang Jixuan chose to move away from the planet and keep working as the enemy approached.

• Wang Jixuan's strange soul rescued aggrieved souls from the Pillar-Class Blade Beasts while Elder Shao taught formation techniques and Peony simulated a Super Transformation Formation.
• Wang Jixuan and his allies began forging the formation foundations, which they expected to take nineteen hours, while his strange soul worked on the Pillar-Class Blade Beast's cosmic cycle.
• In the Youbao Realm, Yin Lin saw forty-six Dark Cult experts led by six Loose Immortals pass through the Myriad Worlds Teleportation Array and inferred they were pursuing Wang Zheng.
• Yin Lin sent a warning to Elder Shao, then gathered Tianluo experts and pursued the Dark Cult force to provide support.
• Elder Shao warned Wang Jixuan that the Dark Cult force would arrive in a day or two, and Wang Jixuan ordered Peony to bring Transport Ships so they could move away from the planet without abandoning the formation work.

• Wang Jixuan and Ling Tong discussed the danger, and Ling Tong told him that Galinno had avoided conflict and the Blade Beasts had acknowledged San Jie Lang Lang Zi as their progenitor.
• Peony detected spatial fluctuations on Earth and in the Blade Beast main control Star Domain, and Wang Jixuan ordered Earth’s evacuation and prepared the Super Transformation Formation.
• Nierda Tamon reported that the second fluctuation might be Black Obsidian’s hideout, while Wang Jixuan unlocked restrictions on Spiritual Practitioners’ Core Circuits.
• Yin Lin and seventeen others arrived on Earth, where Peony directed them to join Wang Jixuan before the Dark Cultists reached the battlefield.

• Wang Jixuan continued refining Demonic Power inside the Pillar-Class Blade Beast while Peony prepared the fleet for battle.
• Nierda Tamon and Amina spotted three Stargates opening and rallied Spiritual Practitioners as more than forty spires arrived.
• Peony ordered Earth’s fleet to fire, and Earth’s Spiritual Practitioners and Mechs joined the battle alongside the remnants of the Spiritual Cultivation Civilization.
• Wang Jixuan warned Peony that Dark Cultists were attacking the right wing, while the Cultists’ leaders sent nine scouts toward the Pillar-Class Blade Beast.
• A concealed stone wall launched missiles at the nine scouts, and the missiles evaded a rogue cultivator’s sword strike before surrounding them with an energy blast.

Peony used the Mechanical Army and a giant-beast projection to stall two True Immortals while Wang Jixuan continued his transformation. The immortals discovered the beast was fake, but Peony’s traps still delayed them as Wang Jixuan’s Strange Soul sank fully into the Transformation Spell.

• Peony launched coordinated phased-array nuclear attacks and Mech assaults to drain the Dark Cultists’ mana while Wang Jixuan asked her to delay them.
• A male immortal fired repeated phoenix arrows at the giant beast, while the Female Immortal circled around and attacked Elder Shao's Clone.

• The immortals realized the beast was a projection when its wound healed, and Peony’s traps and renewed attacks intercepted their forces.
• Wang Jixuan’s Strange Soul completely entered the Transformation Spell, while Peony watched the immortals remain caught in her formations.

Wang Jixuan’s forces struggled to hold back two True Immortals and the Dark Cultists while he completed the Pillar-Class Blade Beast’s transformation. As the male immortal unleashed a demonic aura and charged at Wang Jixuan, Wang Jixuan joined forces with the Strange Soul Puppet to meet him head-on.

• Peony analyzed the male immortal’s fighting style and used formations and self-destructing Mechs to delay his advance while Wang Jixuan continued the transformation.
• The male immortal joined a Loose Immortal and twelve Dark Cultists, then pushed through Peony’s defenses as the other Dark Cultist groups launched attacks.
• Hall Master Yin Lin and more than a dozen Tianluo Faction members arrived, but the male immortal fired a Phoenix Divine Bird at the Super Transformation Formation.
• The Pillar-Class Blade Beast deflected the divine arrow with a Buddhist-power longsword and released a swarm of Blade Beasts against the charging cultivators.
• Wang Jixuan left his hiding place to fuse the strange soul with the third Puppet Clone, while the male immortal wrapped himself in Light Red demonic aura and charged at him.
• Wang Jixuan and the Strange Soul Puppet moved together and unleashed Heaven-Cutting Force at the male immortal.

Wang Jixuan used the Super Transformation Formation, the Blade Beast Swarms, and a succession of techniques to hold off the Dark Cult male immortal, then charged toward him as his puppet transformed. The chapter ended with the puppet taking on a harmonious Buddha, Dao, and Demon form and striking the immortal with a Tubular Shockwave.

• Wang Jixuan drew power from the Blade Beast Swarms while retreating and using varied techniques to repeatedly stop the male immortal’s charges.
• The Super Transformation Formation advanced, transforming the Pillar-Class Blade Beast puppet and allowing it to drive the male immortal back as Yin Lin led the Tianluo Faction against the Dark Cultists.

• The puppet transformed into a three-faced Buddha, Dao, and Demon figure and unleashed a Tubular Shockwave that enveloped the male immortal.

Wang Jixuan killed the Second-Rank True Immortal Fang Xingwei with a barrage of Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palms, then continued transforming his Strange Soul Puppet. When the Heavenly Dao struck the puppet with increasingly powerful divine lightning, a white halo appeared and protected him, revealing a clash between the Dark Cult's Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Net's Heavenly Dao.

• Wang Jixuan overwhelmed Fang Xingwei with hundreds of Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palms, exhausting the True Immortal and destroying his primordial spirit.

• Elder Shao gave Wang Jixuan Autumn Gaze and attacked the enemy formation while Wang Jixuan returned to help his Strange Soul Puppet finish transforming.
• Heavenly punishment struck the puppet with pale-blue lightning, but Wang Jixuan endured the pain and used energy drawn from Blade Beast Swarms to sustain the transformation.
• A powerful purple divine lightning bolt threatened to kill Wang Jixuan, but a white halo appeared and absorbed it, nourishing both the puppet and Wang Jixuan.
