Chapter Summaries

Taichu removed an Immortal Dao Forbidden Restriction from Houtu’s True Spirit, thwarted Hongjun’s plans for the Earthly Dao, and revealed his overwhelming strength to the Ancestral Witches. Dijiang then asked whether the Witch Clan could attain Hunyuan, recalling how Hongjun had once intervened to save the Demon Race.

• Taichu stopped the Ancestral Witches’ attacks and removed the restriction on Houtu’s True Spirit, after which Houtu told her brothers he had relieved her.
• Taichu identified himself and explained that Hongjun had placed the restriction, provoking Heavenly Punishment that Taichu made vanish.
• In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun suffered a severe backlash, lost a level of cultivation, and resolved to continue pursuing his Earthly Dao plans more carefully.
• Dijiang thanked Taichu, and Taichu revealed he followed the Path of Proving Dao through Strength and briefly showed an aura that nearly overwhelmed the Ancestral Witches.
• Dijiang asked Taichu how the Witch Clan could attain Hunyuan, remembering that Hongjun had saved the Demon Race during their battle and arranged for the Demons to govern Heaven and the Witches to govern Earth.

Taichu investigated the Primordial World and discovered that strange Earthworms beneath Zhou Mountain were draining its Origin Power and Pangu aura. When the Twelve Ancestral Witches attacked them, the Earthworms knocked them down through a shared strength, leaving Taichu to recognize that they had been formed from Heaven and Earth Origin and a mysterious extracted Original Source.

• Taichu asked Dijiang whether he wanted to know how to become a Sage or understand the Hunyuan Dao, then questioned why someone had schemed against Houtu.
• Taichu surveyed the Primordial World and found that it was growing, was Pangu's second Dao body, and had a barren Western Land where Pangu's aura was fading.
• Taichu examined Zhou Mountain and concluded that Gonggong could not truly have been responsible for severing it.
• Taichu transported the Twelve Ancestral Witches beneath Zhou Mountain, where they found Earthworms draining the mountain's Origin Power and Pangu aura.
• Dijiang, Houtu, and the other Ancestral Witches attacked the Earthworms but were repeatedly knocked down because the creatures shared their strength.
• Taichu recognized that the Earthworms came from Heaven and Earth Origin and a trace of a special Original Source that someone had extracted.

Taichu rescued Zhou Mountain from the earthworm scheme, restored its Origin Power, and sent the Twelve Ancestral Witches to refine gifts of Origin Power. After binding Zhou Mountain to the Primordial World, he confronted Hongjun and easily crushed the God-Slaying Spear.

• Taichu explained that the earthworms could combine their strength, then destroyed them with sword energies formed from Great Dao Laws.
• Taichu gave the Twelve Ancestral Witches streams of Origin Power and returned Zhou Mountain to its prime by restoring its deeper Origin Power.
• Taichu sent Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches to Pangu Hall to refine their gifts, while he discovered earthworms had spread across much of the Primordial Continent.
• Taichu bound Zhou Mountain to the Primordial World to foil Hongjun's scheme, then sealed the area and left its depths.
• Hongjun confronted Taichu and attacked with the God-Slaying Spear, but Taichu caught it and crushed it.

Taichu defeated Hongjun’s attack, eliminated Earthworms from the Primordial Land, and helped the Twelve Ancestral Witches transform as they absorbed Origin Power and gained Primordial Spirits. After giving them Pangu’s cultivation technique, he asked them to help repair the Western Land by resolving its Earth Vein Fiendish Qi.

• Hongjun’s Purple Firmament Divine Thunder failed to harm Taichu, so Hongjun withdrew and concealed the area with the Power of Heavenly Dao.
• Taichu annihilated countless Earthworms in the Primordial Land and transformed their bodies into World Origin that merged into the land.
• Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches absorbed Origin Power, adapted to the Earth Vein Fiendish Qi, and condensed Primordial Spirits within their bodies.
• Taichu gave the Twelve Ancestral Witches the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Origin Technique, which he said was the cultivation method Pangu had practiced.
• Dijiang offered the Witch Clan’s help, and Taichu asked the Twelve Ancestral Witches to resolve the Earth Vein Fiendish Qi and repair the Western Land.

Taichu left Pangu Hall after advising the Twelve Ancestral Witches to cultivate their Primordial Spirits, then went to Kunlun Mountain to confront the Three Pure Ones for accepting Hongjun as their master. He challenged their claim to be Pangu’s Orthodox Lineage, leaving the brothers angered by his accusations.

• Taichu told the Twelve Ancestral Witches to enter seclusion, practice using their Laws through their Primordial Spirits, and refine suitable Innate Spiritual Treasures.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches selected Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures from Pangu Hall, while Taichu failed to locate the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.
• Taichu traveled to Kunlun Mountain and found the Three Pure Ones comprehending the Primordial Violet Qi after taking Hongjun as their master.
• Taiqing Laozi sensed Taichu’s arrival, activated the Taiji Diagram and Xuanhuang Pagoda, and demanded to know why he had come.
• Taichu criticized the Three Pure Ones for claiming Pangu’s Orthodox Lineage while accepting Hongjun as their master, and Yuqing and Tongtian awoke to confront him.

Taichu exposed Hongjun’s scheme to use the Three Pure Ones’ Primordial Violet Qi, Heaven-Opening Fortune, and Great Dao Origin, then removed the parasitic thread from Laozi’s Primordial Spirit. The Great Dao Will appeared, Hongjun confronted Taichu, and Taichu returned the purified Origin Source to Laozi, leaving him transformed by a sense of perfection.

• Yuanshi and Tongtian challenged Taichu, while Laozi accused him of being an Outer Realm Demon sent to harm the Primordial World.
• Taichu reached into Laozi’s Primordial Spirit and discovered a thread drawing on his Heaven-Opening Fortune and Great Dao Origin, revealing Hongjun’s scheme.
• Taichu released his Great Dao aura, prompting the Great Dao Will to manifest above Kunlun Mountain and Hongjun to awaken and arrive.
• Taichu removed the thread from Laozi and warned Hongjun not to interfere with him again.
• Taichu ground the thread down to a mysterious yellow Origin Source and returned it to Laozi’s Primordial Spirit, where it merged with his Heaven-Opening Merit.

Taichu purified the Three Pure Ones’ Primordial Violet Qi and removed Hongjun’s hidden influence, while Laozi revealed a secret he had concealed from Yuanshi and Tongtian. After the Great Dao marked Taichu, his rejection eased, his Great Dao Concept began to recover, and he regained contact with the Taichu World.

• Taichu purified Laozi’s Primordial Violet Qi and restored his Heaven-Opening Merit, prompting Laozi to ask him to remove the hidden dangers in Yuanshi and Tongtian.
• Hongjun tried to suppress Yuanshi and Tongtian, but Taichu invoked the Divine Eye of the Great Dao, whose thunder struck Hongjun until he fled.
• Taichu removed the foreign influence from Yuanshi and Tongtian’s Primordial Spirits, purified their Primordial Violet Qi, and secretly infused them with Primordial Chaos Qi.
• Taichu urged Laozi to explain himself, and Laozi revealed three unstable figures from his Primordial Spirit whose Original Source matched that of Yuanshi and Tongtian.
• Taichu gave the three figures Original Source to stabilize them, and they returned to Laozi’s Primordial Spirit.
• The Divine Eye of the Great Dao sent Taichu a purple mark, after which his sense of rejection vanished, his Great Dao Concept began recovering, and he reconnected with the Taichu World.

Taichu revealed the origins behind One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and warned the Three Pure Ones that Hongjun’s Three Corpses Severing Method contained a hidden flaw. He gave them a perfected method and suggested using their divine ability as an alternative path, leaving Laozi testing the new approach by merging his damaged origin and True Spirit with an avatar.

• Taichu displayed the Three Pure Ones’ origins and used the Creation Concept and World Power to manifest Origin Power.
• Taichu restored the correct cultivation method for One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and Laozi explained how he had taken strands of Yuanshi’s and Tongtian’s origins when they were young.
• Taichu warned that Hongjun had embedded a hidden danger in the Three Corpses Severing Method, especially in the Three Corpses Integration, and the Three Pure Ones agreed to spread his solution.
• Taichu transmitted the perfected Method of Slaying the Corpse and explained that One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones could offer the Three Pure Ones another path to prove the Dao.
• Laozi began testing the new method by removing the original bodies of the Three Corpses and merging his shattered origin and True Spirit with an avatar of the Three Pure Ones.

After helping the Three Pure Ones perfect their incarnations, Taichu went to the East Sea Shore and freed Nuwa from Hongjun’s influence over her Primordial Violet Qi. He warned her about the conflict between creating the Human Race and her role as Wa Huang, but Nuwa still chose to create humanity and pursue sainthood first.

• Laozi added his True Spirit and Original Source to his incarnation, and Taichu warned Yuanshi and Tongtian against rushing their cultivation before improving the Three Pure Ones' foundations.
• Taichu left Kunlun Mountain and sensed the Power of Creation gathering at the East Sea Shore, where Nuwa was preparing to create a new race.
• Nuwa mistook Taichu for an Evil God from beyond the domain and confronted him with her treasures after Hongjun's influence shaped her suspicions.
• Taichu severed Hongjun's mark and his influence on Nuwa's Creation Dao Fruit, purified her Primordial Violet Qi, and gave her methods for awakening the Human Path and attaining the Dao.
• After Taichu departed, Nuwa considered the methods he gave her but chose to create the Human Race and seek sainthood first.

Nuwa created the Human Race at the East Sea Shore and used her Merit to attain the Dao, declaring the Human Race established and the Human Path emerged. Hongjun, angered that Taichu had freed Nuwa from his control, began considering other figures to recruit.

• Taichu resolved the contingency on Nuwa's Primordial Violet Qi, freeing her from Hongjun's schemes, while Hongjun sensed the change and fumed in Zixiao Palace.
• The Three Pure Ones publicly revealed the perfected Method of Slaying the Three Corpses, and Hongjun's thunder punishment silenced many who discussed its flaws.
• After a long period of comprehending the Creation Law, Nuwa used Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, Three-Light Divine Water, her blood essence, and the Qiankun Cauldron to create the Human Race.
• Nuwa used the Innate Gourd Vine to create a total of 129,600 humans, imbued them with Creation essence, and named them humans.
• Merit descended upon Nuwa, the Human Race, and the Innate Gourd Vine, which became a Merit Supreme Treasure.
• Nuwa declared the Human Race established and the Human Path emerged as she attained the Dao.

Nuwa awakened the Human Path, created the Human Race, and became its first Sage after Taichu’s intervention drove off and badly wounded Hongjun. As Nuwa departed to establish Wa Huang Heaven, the Human Race began to flourish, while Hongjun returned to Zixiao Palace to recover from his near-fatal injuries.

• Hongjun pressured Nuwa to stop awakening the Human Path, but Dutian Divine Thunders struck and severely wounded him, forcing him to retreat.
• Nuwa awakened the Human Path, created the Human Race, and attained Human Dao Sagehood at the Third Layer of Hun Yuan Primordial Golden Immortal.
• Nuwa announced that she would preach in Wa Huang Heaven in ten thousand years and forbade the Myriad Spirits from disturbing the Human Race for one Eon.
• Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, and Zi Yi Shi each advanced Human civilization, and the Human Race grew from over a hundred thousand people to more than ten million.
• Taichu saw that the Human Race was developing without interference and stopped monitoring it, while Hongjun returned to Zixiao Palace to recuperate.

After Nuwa became a Sage, Di Jun and Dijiang worried about the growing imbalance between the Demon Race and the Witch Clan. Houtu then revealed that her path had become clear and that she needed to travel across the Primordial Land, leaving Dijiang concerned about what had begun to change in her.

• Hongjun cursed Taichu for gravely wounding him, while Taichu expected Hongjun to need several Eons to recover.
• Di Jun learned that Nuwa had become a Sage and considered how he and Taiyi could use the Method of Slaying the Corpse, eventually deciding he might need to ask Nuwa for help.
• Dijiang and the Ancestral Witches discussed the Demon Race's new Sage and their own cultivation, while Dijiang claimed he would eventually Attain Hunyuan.
• Houtu said her path had become clear and that she needed to walk the Primordial Land, as a compassionate aura emerged from her.
• Dijiang sensed a new Law within Houtu, sent the other Ancestral Witches away, and asked her solemnly when it had begun.

Houtu and Dijiang led the Ancestral Witches to the Western Land, where they absorbed Turbid Evil Qi, repaired the Earth Veins, and gained World Merit. Alarmed by the Witch Clan’s gains, Di Jun approved Bai Ze’s plan for the Demon Race to attempt the same work before deciding whether to attack.

• Houtu told Dijiang that the Primordial World seemed incomplete and urged the Ancestral Witches to visit the Western Land to change their clan’s fate.
• Dijiang gathered the Ancestral Witches, and they traveled to the Western Land, where they absorbed Turbid Evil Qi and reorganized the Earth Veins, receiving World Merit.
• Houtu asked Dijiang to bring Great Witches and gifted Lesser Witches to help clear the Earth Vein Fiendish Qi, and he opened a portal for them.
• Jiu Ying and Qin Yuan urged Di Jun to attack the Witch Clan, but Bai Ze warned that doing so would bring Karma upon the Demon Race for disrupting the land’s restoration.
• Bai Ze proposed that the Demon Race repair the Western Land first, then confront the Witch Clan, and Di Jun approved the plan.
• Taiyi volunteered to lead Demon Sages to the Western Land while Di Jun remained in the Demon Court.

Taiyi’s attempt to restore the Western Lands failed when Turbid Evil Qi threatened the Demon Race’s foundations, forcing him and his followers to retreat. At Wuzhuang Temple, Taichu met Zhen Yuanzi, empowered the Ginseng Fruit Tree, and stopped its fruits from falling all at once.

• Taiyi led Demon Sages and Demon Gods to the Western Lands, where they earned a little Merit before Turbid Evil Qi endangered their Dao foundations.
• Taiyi returned to the Demon Court with his group, and several Demon Gods with unstable foundations died after the mission.
• Taichu appeared at Wuzhuang Temple, where Zhen Yuanzi recognized him and explained that his friend had taken the remaining Ginseng Fruits.
• Taichu gathered starlight and Innate Spiritual Qi to make Three-Light Divine Water, then used it with Chaos Spirit Liquid and the Great Daos to ripen dozens of Ginseng Fruits.
• Zhen Yuanzi sensed that the Ginseng Fruit Tree had broken through its limits and gained intelligence, and Taichu used Great Dao Power to keep nearly all its fruits from falling, leaving ten before them.

Taichu used a Ginseng Fruit and Enlightenment Tea to boost Zhen Yuanzi’s cultivation, then revealed that Hongjun had schemed against Red Cloud. He said Red Cloud’s survival depended on Zhen Yuanzi attaining sainthood, but Zhen Yuanzi doubted he could do so without Primordial Violet Qi.

• Taichu and Zhen Yuanzi tasted Ginseng Fruits and drank Enlightenment Tea, which greatly improved Zhen Yuanzi’s cultivation and understanding of the Wutu Great Dao.
• Taichu told Zhen Yuanzi that he had come to change the Primordial Wilderness and asked for his help.
• Taichu revealed that Hongjun had schemed against Red Cloud, and Divine Thunder appeared over Wuzhuang Temple as if warning Zhen Yuanzi not to hear more.
• Zhen Yuanzi asked Taichu how he could change Red Cloud’s fate, and Taichu said that Zhen Yuanzi needed to attain sainthood.
• Zhen Yuanzi worried that he lacked Primordial Violet Qi, while Taichu promised Hongjun would not dare stop him and threatened to erase Hongjun if he did.

Taichu guided Zhen Yuanzi toward the Earthly Dao, helping him organize Longevity Mountain’s earth veins and empower the Earth Book. The resulting change to the Primordial World’s membrane drew the attention of powerful figures, and Yangmei attacked Hongjun when he appeared in the Chaos.

• Taichu explained that Zhen Yuanzi’s path lay in awakening the Earthly Dao, and Zhen Yuanzi comprehended the earth’s veins and laws.
• Zhen Yuanzi mobilized Longevity Mountain’s earth veins into a protective array, enriching its spiritual energy and nurturing treasures and spiritual roots.
• Taichu infused the Earth Book with Origin Power and Chaos Power, causing the World Membrane to become much harder to cross.
• Hongjun and other powerful figures noticed the World Membrane’s change, while Yangmei wondered what had caused it and decided to visit the Primordial World.
• Hongjun appeared near Yangmei’s Chaos Island, and Yangmei attacked him with the Void Willow’s branches and a Chaos Storm.

Yangmei rejected Hongjun’s appeal, sent him away, and later decided to enter the Primordial World to investigate the alleged Outer Realm Demon. Meanwhile, Taichu transformed Zhen Yuanzi’s Earth Book into an Innate Supreme Treasure at Wuzhuang Temple.

• Hongjun tried to recruit Yangmei to confront an Outer Realm Demon, but Yangmei accused him of manipulation and refused.
• Yangmei revealed power near the tenth level of the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, sent Hongjun to the edge of the Primordial World, and concealed his Chaos Island.
• Yangmei recalled Hongjun’s past schemes, then chose to head toward the Primordial World despite its barrier.
• At Wuzhuang Temple, Taichu used the Taichu World’s Great Dao to complete Zhen Yuanzi’s Earth Book and connect it to the Primordial World’s membrane.
• Zhen Yuanzi discovered that the Earth Book had become an Innate Supreme Treasure and could strengthen his body and absorb Chaos Qi.

After Taichu empowered Zhen Yuanzi’s Earth Book, Zhen Yuanzi traveled to the Western Land to restore its damaged earth veins and seek World Merit. The Twelve Ancestral Witches approached him for help, but Dijiang clarified that they did not want him involved in the Witch-Demon conflict.

• Taichu departed Longevity Mountain after secretly strengthening Zhen Yuanzi’s Earth Book, leaving Zhen Yuanzi able to command the Earth Veins.
• Zhen Yuanzi left Qingfeng and Mingyue in charge of Wuzhuang Temple and traveled to the Western Land, where he began restoring its ruined earth veins.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches sought out Zhen Yuanzi, and Zhurong tried to provoke him into lending over the Earth Book.
• Houtu restrained Zhurong while Gonggong and Dijiang stopped the two Ancestral Witches from fighting.
• Dijiang asked Zhen Yuanzi to help the Witch Clan, and Zhen Yuanzi objected that he was only a solitary cultivator.
• Dijiang explained that the Witch Clan did not intend to involve Zhen Yuanzi in its conflict with the Demon Tribe.

Zhen Yuanzi and the Witch Clan worked together to repair the Western Lands, while Jieyin and Zhunti grew resentful over the Merit they were gaining. Taichu appeared on Mount Sumeru, removed mysterious lifeforms and insect eggs from Zhunti’s Primordial Spirit, and revealed that Jieyin had them too.

• Dijiang apologized for Zhurong and explained that the Witch Clan wanted Zhen Yuanzi’s help repairing the Western Lands and clearing its Earth Veins.
• Zhen Yuanzi agreed to work with the Witch Clan, and their cooperation rapidly advanced their repairs, cultivation, and accumulation of Merit.
• On Mount Sumeru, Zhunti complained that Zhen Yuanzi and the Witch Clan had taken the Western Lands’ opportunity, and Jieyin agreed they should not be allowed to claim it.
• Taichu confronted the two Saints, extracted mysterious lifeforms and insect eggs from Zhunti’s Primordial Spirit, and said Jieyin had them as well.
• Taichu cleansed Zhunti’s Primordial Violet Qi and added a strand of Primordial Chaos Qi to ensure it would cause no problems after Zhunti attained the Dao.

Taichu saved Jieyin and Zhunti from a threat inside their Primordial Spirits, then took Yangmei to the Demon Realm to visit Luohou. The chapter ended with Luohou challenging Yangmei after Yangmei mocked his stagnant strength.

• Jieyin realized something was consuming his Three Corpses and Laws, so he begged Taichu to save him.
• Taichu used the Power of Karma and the Eye of Heaven's Dao to remove the threat from Jieyin's Primordial Spirit, then restored the Laws within Jieyin and Zhunti.
• Yangmei watched Taichu's actions from a hidden void beneath Mount Sumeru, and Taichu revealed that he knew Yangmei had entered the Primordial Wilderness from Chaos.
• Taichu appeared before Yangmei and brought him to the Demon Realm, where Yangmei recognized the aura of Luohou.
• Yangmei called Luohou out and mocked his lack of progress, prompting Luohou to accuse him of seeking a fight.
