Chapter Summaries

The Witch Clan formed the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend Great Array to challenge the Monster race's Cosmic Stars Great Array, and the pressure drove all thirteen Ancestral Witches to Quasi-Saint cultivation. After Pangu True Body struck the heavens and the Witch Clan withdrew, Wangshu pursued Changxi but was confronted by Yuying.

• Di Jun's Cosmic Stars Great Array sent annihilating starlight across the Primordial World, destroying beings whose arrays or techniques opposed it.
• Panhu and the other Ancestral Witches gathered their tribes and formed the All-Heavenly Divine Fiend Great Array, which clashed with the Cosmic Stars Great Array.
• After several hundred years under pressure, all thirteen Ancestral Witches broke through to Quasi-Saint cultivation and formed Pangu True Body, which struck across the Thirty-three Heavens before the Witch Clan withdrew its array.
• Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Xihe, and the other Heavenly Court figures realized the Monster race could no longer rely on its array advantage to defeat the Witch Clan easily.
• Wangshu pursued Changxi near the Moon Star, but Yuying appeared and claimed Changxi was connected to her as a being born from the Moon Star.

Youying defeated Wangshu and accepted Changxi as his disciple, while Lu Yang mastered the Primordial World's Great Dao of Fire and advanced his cultivation. Meanwhile, Donghuang Taiyi and four other Quasi-Saints ambushed Shebishi, but four Ancestral Witches arrived as Shebishi was being overwhelmed.

• Youying nullified Wangshu's Taiyin Annihilation Divine Thunder, damaged her Taiyin Treasure Pearl, and drove her to flee.
• Youying accepted Changxi as his disciple and took her into the hidden Multi-layered Great World near the Moon Star's core.
• Lu Yang drew the Primordial World's Great Dao of Fire into the Sun Star, mastered it, and advanced to the fourth level of Grand Unity.
• The Heavenly Court's leaders planned to kill an Ancestral Witch, and Donghuang Taiyi, Primordial Mother Taiyuan, Xuantian, Wangshu, and Xihe ambushed Shebishi.
• The five Monster Clan Quasi-Saints badly wounded Shebishi, until Zhurong, Gonggong, Dijiang, and Zhu Jiuyin arrived to confront them.

The Monster Race withdrew to the Heavenly Court after the Witch Clan rescued the gravely wounded Shebishi, and the two races fought a ten-thousand-year war. In the aftermath, Lu Yang inherited part of Pangu’s Dao through Panhu, who revealed his growing power by defeating Gonggong and Qiangliang in friendly challenges.

• Donghuang Taiyi and the other Monster Race Quasi-Saints escaped the four pursuing Ancestral Witches and returned to the Heavenly Court, after which the Witch and Monster races fought for ten thousand years.
• Panhu entered the Witch Realm and inherited part of Pangu’s Dao through Lu Yang’s Hunyuan Dao Fruit, strengthening his avatar and making him a possible future “Fourth Pure One.”
• Gonggong and Qiangliang visited Panhu’s tribe to challenge him, but postponed their bouts to drink with him.
• Gonggong unleashed floods and Chaos Qi against Panhu in the combat plaza, but Panhu ignited the Chaos Qi and caught Gonggong’s strike before defeating him.
• Qiangliang challenged Panhu after Gonggong’s loss and was defeated as well, then both brothers stayed in Panhu’s lively tribe for several days.

Haotian used the Dragon Gate to gather scattered dragons as Hongjun manipulated Dragon Clan Fortune to make Heavenly Dao favor him. Lu Yang recognized that Haotian was his avatar, while Taishang, Yuanshi, and Tongtian discovered Haotian’s connection to Hongjun and sent Tongtian to meet him.

• Haotian’s Dragon Gate appeared across the Four Seas, where fish that crossed it transformed into dragons, though a Shangfu hunted down the newly transformed dragons in one sea region.
• Haotian thought that Hongjun intended to use the Dragon Clan as a stepping stone toward making him Lord of the Three Realms.
• Lu Yang sensed Heavenly Dao favoring Haotian and realized Hongjun’s schemes were also increasing favor toward Lu Yang, since Haotian was his avatar.
• Hongjun was pleased that Heavenly Dao had begun favoring Haotian and accepted the loss of some Dragon Clan Fortune as part of his plan.
• Tongtian sensed that Mystic Gate Destiny had changed, and Taishang calculated that Haotian’s Heavenly Mandate and connection to Mystic Gate Destiny suggested he was Hongjun’s Registered Disciple.
• Yuanshi suggested that Tongtian secretly meet Haotian, and Tongtian agreed and departed for the Eastern Sea.

Tongtian killed East King Duke’s Flying Bear mount while traveling to the Eastern Sea, then visited Haotian on Nine Dragon Island and studied the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation with him. After several hundred years, Tongtian encountered East King Duke and offered to find him another mount, leaving East King Duke displeased but unwilling to provoke the Three Pure Ones.

• Tongtian saw Kui Niu fighting a Flying Bear on Flowing Wave Island and killed the Flying Bear with the Green Ping Sword, then learned it had been East King Duke’s mount.
• Haotian told Tongtian that he was Hongjun’s Registered Disciple and showed him the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation Diagram on Nine Dragon Island.
• Tongtian studied the formation with Haotian for several months and tested it using four swords forged by Yuanshi, but withdrew it when the swords began to crack.
• After studying the formation for several hundred years, Tongtian left Nine Dragon Island and met East King Duke.
• Tongtian said the Flying Bear’s death had followed Heavenly Mandate and offered to find East King Duke another mount; East King Duke restrained his anger rather than risk offending the Three Pure Ones.

A Hunyuan Dao Fruit destabilized Reincarnation and trapped Hongjun inside after he mistook the disturbance for Pangu trying to seize control. More than nine Cosmic Epochs passed as Hongjun remained there, while the Primordial World prepared for his approaching third sermon.

• Lu Yang's Heavenly Dao projection helped Xihe comprehend Heavenly Dao more easily before a Hunyuan Dao Fruit descended into Reincarnation.
• A Heavenly Dao projection appeared above Reincarnation, drawing Minghe, a Great Witch, Hongjun's Avatar, and many Quasi-Sage Great Experts to investigate.
• Hongjun's Main Body entered Reincarnation, sensed the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, and sent his power toward the core, where the fruit broke free and destabilized Reincarnation.
• Hongjun realized he had been trapped because leaving before the core stabilized could damage Reincarnation, and he concealed himself as other beings investigated.
• After the Six Samsara Rulers broke free, Hongjun remained near the core and decided to strengthen them while the core stabilized.
• More than nine Cosmic Epochs passed since Hongjun's second sermon, and the Witch and Monster races prepared for the approaching third sermon.

Hongjun remained trapped in Reincarnation and could not begin his third sermon, leaving the gathered listeners waiting outside Purple Xiao Palace. Zhunti rescued Daoist Randeng from a Chaos Vortex, while Hongjun’s attempt to send an Avatar to the palace ended when Hunwu destroyed it; Hongyun then chose to cultivate in Chaos.

• Zhunti, Maha, and Jieyin traveled to Purple Xiao Palace, where Zhunti rescued Daoist Randeng from a Chaos Vortex and the four continued together.
• The gods gathered outside Purple Xiao Palace, but Hongjun did not appear or open its doors when the appointed time arrived.
• A Golden Immortal speculated that Hongjun had been injured after failing to control Reincarnation, prompting the waiting Quasi-Saints and Grand Unity Golden Immortals to consider the possibility.
• Hongjun sent an Avatar toward Purple Xiao Heaven, but Hunwu destroyed it, leaving Hongjun to suspect that the Chaos Golden Crow’s actions were connected to Pangu.
• After decades of waiting, many listeners left Purple Xiao Heaven, while Hongyun stayed in Chaos to strengthen his body.

Hongyun refined his body with Chaos Qi and began cultivating a Chaos Body, while Hunwu advanced his inner world and demonstrated his growing strength to Yang Mei. Hongjun returned to Purple Cloud Palace and reopened its gates, leaving the gathered gods to resume listening to the Dao.

• Hongyun endured Chaos Qi and circulated his self-created Innate Body Refinement Art, beginning to temper a Chaos Body as Zhenyuanzi watched over him.
• Hunwu's inner multiverse advanced into a Low-level Hunyuan World, and its Great Will became the Golden Crow Heavenly Dao.
• Hunwu sent billions upon billions of Chaos Golden Crows to attack Yang Mei, who destroyed them with the Law of Space and argued that the Primordial World's Dao belonged only to Pangu.
• Hongjun left reincarnation, crossed the chaos, saw Hongyun refining his body, and returned to Purple Cloud Palace without speaking to him.
• Hongjun had the child attendants open the palace gates, and the waiting gods entered to hear the Dao.

Hongjun preached the path to Sagehood, explained Primordial Violet Qi, and gave strands to the Three Pure Ones and Hongyun. As jealous listeners turned their attention to Hongyun, Lu Yang placed three more strands on the Sun Star and noticed an Innate Spiritual Root emerge from Kunlun Mountain.

• Hongjun delivered his third sermon, explaining Hunyuan Dao Fruit and the methods of becoming a Sage.
• East King Duke asked how many Sages could exist beneath Heavenly Dao, and Hongjun answered that the limit was nine; Yuanshi then asked about Primordial Violet Qi.
• Hongjun gave three strands of Primordial Violet Qi to the Three Pure Ones and tossed the fourth to Hongyun, drawing jealous looks from East King Duke, Zhunti, Jieyin, Kunpeng, Minghe, and others.
• Hongjun sent Haotian a Divine Sense Transmission and told the listeners that Primordial Violet Qi might still be found in the Primordial World.
• Lu Yang sent three strands of Primordial Violet Qi from a Chaos Golden Crow to the Sun Star, then noticed an Innate Spiritual Root emerge from Kunlun Mountain and sent a Golden Crow toward it.

Lu Yang sent a clone to claim the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree on Kunlun Mountain, while Hongjun distributed treasures to his disciples and the gathered divine beings. Afterward, Zhenyuanzi stayed with Hongyun in Purple Firmament Heaven as Hongyun began cultivating his Pangu True Body under violent Chaos Qi.

• Lu Yang's Three-legged Golden Crow broke through the illusions protecting the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree and decided to move it to the Heavenly Court Jade Pond.
• Hongjun gave Taishang the Taiji Diagram, Yuanshi the Pangu Banner, and Tongtian the Qiankun Cauldron and Absolute Immortal Sword.
• The divine beings entered the Treasure Distribution Rock and took its treasures, with the Three Pure Ones gaining the most while Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi gained nothing.
• After the Treasure Distribution Rock vanished, Zhenyuanzi urged Hongyun to remain in Purple Firmament Heaven and protect him while he dealt with his Primordial Violet Qi.
• Hongyun found the Primordial Violet Qi too difficult to refine and chose to cultivate his Pangu True Body instead.
• Zhenyuanzi flung violent Chaos Qi at Hongyun, who endured the blow and was seriously injured as his body tempering began.

Hongyun returned from the chaos with a Great Witch Physique, but East King Duke trapped him in a killing formation to seize his Primordial Violet Qi. After Hongyun escaped and was surrounded by more powerful rivals, Ancestral Witch Panhu arrived to relieve the pressure.

• Hongyun broke through to the Great Witch level, then returned to the Primordial World with Zhenyuanzi and set off for Huoyun Mountain.
• East King Duke ambushed Hongyun with a formation, but Hongyun endured its attacks with his Great Witch Physique and fought East King Duke for more than half a month.
• Hongyun broke out of the formation, but Wangshu froze him while Xuantian, Kunpeng, and others revealed themselves and closed in.
• Hongyun called on the Thirteen Ancestral Witches for help and used a fake strand of violet qi to draw his pursuers away, but Kunpeng and the others soon caught and attacked him.
• As Hongyun was about to be killed, Panhu's axe light forced back some of his attackers.

Panhou rescued Hongyun from the great experts seeking his Primordial Violet Qi, and Hongyun joined the Witch Clan as its fourteenth Quasi-Saint. The Witch Clan investigated whether Hongyun’s blood could help Witches cultivate primordial spirits, but Houtu found he was an exception and the chapter left Hongyun’s future as an Ancestral Witch or Saint uncertain.

• Panhou arrived to protect Hongyun, severely injured East King Duke with one axe strike, and suppressed Minghe’s Twin Swords when Minghe attacked Hongyun.
• Dijiang arrived, and the gathered great experts abandoned their attempt to seize Hongyun’s Primordial Violet Qi.
• Hongyun joined the Witch Clan, returned to Huoyun Mountain, and took three Innate Spiritual Treasures from the Witch Clan treasury.
• Hongyun reunited with Zhenyuanzi, while the Witch Clan considered whether his blood could help Witches cultivate primordial spirits.
• Houtu studied Hongyun’s blood in the Witch World but found that it could not be used to create Lesser Witches capable of cultivating primordial spirits.

Nuwa sought to establish Heavenly Marriage with Di Jun and claim a share of its Merit, but Di Jun refused because the marriage would expose Lu Yang. Nuwa then turned to Donghuang Taiyi, who had just secured Haotian’s nominal support for the Heavenly Court, and called out to him in the Eastern Sea.

• Nuwa realized that the Red Embroidered Ball could help establish the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man and earn her twenty percent of each marriage’s Merit.
• Nuwa chose Di Jun and Changxi for Heavenly Marriage, told Fuxi of her plan, and went to the Heavenly Court to approach Di Jun.
• Di Jun refused Nuwa’s proposal, saying he wanted the Monster Race to rule Heaven and Earth and hoped to attain sagehood.
• Nuwa concluded that Di Jun had refused to prevent conflict in the Heavenly Court and went to seek Donghuang Taiyi instead.
• Donghuang Taiyi arranged for Haotian’s forces to nominally join the Heavenly Court, then left Nine Dragon Island for the Eastern Sea.
• Nuwa caught up with Donghuang Taiyi as he was about to leave and called for him to stop.

Nuwa and Haotian established a Marriage Light Screen on an Eastern Sea immortal island to assess couples’ Heavenly Marriage qualifications and Destiny Values for a fee. After West Queen Mother rejected East King Duke’s proposal, he sent two of his strongest followers to investigate the new platform.

• Nuwa offered Donghuang Taiyi the Heavenly Marriage Merit, but he refused and departed.
• Nuwa considered other candidates, then accepted Haotian’s proposal to create a Destiny Value platform and agreed to split its earnings with him.
• Nuwa and Haotian activated the Marriage Light Screen on an immortal island and set the fee at ten thousand tons of Supreme Spirit Stones per pair.
• East King Duke calculated the Three Marriages and sent an incarnation to propose to West Queen Mother, who struck it down.
• East King Duke sent two Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao Companions to the island, where Haotian’s Yinglong explained the Marriage Light Screen to them.

Nuwa and Haotian established a Destiny Platform on an Eastern Sea immortal island, where beings paid ten thousand tons of supreme spirit stones to check their marriage qualifications and Destiny Value. After one Cosmic Epoch, Nuwa left with substantial gains but no pair had reached the 100 Destiny Value needed for a Heavenly Marriage, and she realized the Three Marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man were more complicated than she had thought.

• Yinglong collected payment from visiting Dao Companions and allowed them to use the Marriage Light Screen, which exposed Mo Ji and Xuan Yao's origins and showed that they lacked Heavenly Marriage qualification and had 73 Destiny Value.
• Nuwa sensed the visitors' results while playing chess with Haotian, and more beings arrived hoping to discover their marriage qualifications.
• Yinglong rejected most of one pair's spirit stones because they carried too much karma, suppressed the Rogue Immortals of Grand Unity when they grew angry, and accepted enough clean stones for them to check their results.
• The Marriage Light Screen revealed that the pair lacked Heavenly Marriage qualification and had only 23 Destiny Value, which fell to 22 as they began to resent each other.
• Nuwa and Haotian split the growing spirit-stone gains according to their agreement, while the Three Marriages drew attention from the Ancestral Witches, Fuxi, and Hongjun's Avatar.
• After one Cosmic Epoch, the Marriage Light Screen disappeared and Nuwa departed; the Red Embroidered Ball had recorded no pair with 100 Destiny Value, and Nuwa recognized the Three Marriages were more complicated than she had expected.

Nuwa found and claimed a strand of Primordial Violet Qi in the Mist Sea, while Zhunti and Jieyin also obtained strands. Nuwa returned to Buzhou Mountain to tell Fuxi, who remained confident that he could become a Saint without Primordial Violet Qi.

• Nuwa searched the Eastern Sea for her mysterious opportunity and found a strand of Primordial Violet Qi in the Mist Sea, which she captured with the Shanhe Sheji Diagram.
• Nuwa began refining the Primordial Violet Qi but discovered that the process was extremely difficult, and she wished she could find a strand for Fuxi as well.
• Zhunti and Jieyin each obtained a strand of Primordial Violet Qi, and Zhunti offered his to Maha, who refused it.
• Lu Yang hoped Hongjun would not discover the three strands until Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin had become Saints.
• Nuwa returned to Buzhou Mountain and told Fuxi about her strand, while Fuxi said one could become a Saint without Primordial Violet Qi and began setting up an array for her.

Nuwa refined part of her Primordial Violet Qi with Fuxi’s array and accumulated Merit, while Candle Dragon obtained an Otherworldly opportunity to become a Sage and rose to Peak Quasi-Saint strength. Hongjun’s Avatar confronted Candle Dragon over the Eastern Sea, where their battle began and drew the attention of other powers.

• Fuxi arranged the Primordial Yin-Yang Good Fortune Array so Nuwa could refine her Primordial Violet Qi, and she used her accumulated Merit to refine 12% of it and greatly improve her cultivation.
• Candle Dragon discovered a golden light in an abyss beneath the Eastern Sea, swallowed it, and learned it was an opportunity to become a Sage of a Low-level Hunyuan World.
• Candle Dragon refined the opportunity, became an Otherworldly Sage, and decided to slay Haotian and seize his Fortune.
• Hongjun’s Avatar located Candle Dragon in the Eastern Sea and confronted him after recognizing that he had become an Otherworldly Sage.
• Candle Dragon and Hongjun’s Avatar exchanged attacks, and Candle Dragon’s unleashed power raised monstrous waves that harmed countless living beings.
• East King Duke of Purple Mansion Continent noticed the battle between the two Sages.

Candle Dragon destroyed Hongjun’s Avatar, but Hongjun’s true body trapped him with a Heavenly Dao Sacred Talisman and suppressed him in the Eastern Sea’s sea eye. The Dragon Clan could neither reach nor contact him, while Hongjun waited for Candle Dragon to use accumulated Merit and possibly reveal the other world.

• East King Duke watched Candle Dragon defeat Hongjun’s Avatar and feared the Dragon’s return threatened him.
• Hongjun arrived in his true body and pursued Candle Dragon, who tried to flee by concealing himself in the void.
• Hongjun used the Heavenly Dao Sacred Talisman to trap Candle Dragon in the Eastern Sea’s sea eye, where Candle Dragon realized Hongjun hoped to use his Merit to locate the other world.
• East King Duke came to flatter Hongjun and offered to punish Candle Dragon, but Hongjun dismissed him and sent him back to the Purple Mansion.
• Ao Guang and other Golden Immortal Dragons approached the sea eye but could not reach Candle Dragon; one Dragon was pulled in and annihilated by the Heavenly Dao’s power.
• Ao Guang and the others returned to the Dragon Palace, unable to rescue or even communicate with Candle Dragon.

Nuwa traveled the Primordial World to practice the Dao of Creation, creating several races before her attempt to make a perfect human race failed and showed her she needed help. Elsewhere, Lu Yang watched her progress, Hongjun considered his plans, and Mohe sensed that Mount Sumeru should have a Great Sun Tathagata.

• Nuwa and Fuxi left Buzhou Mountain to pursue their separate paths after Nuwa comprehended the Dao of Creation and severed two corpses.
• Nuwa created chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses, refining more of her Primordial Violet Qi as she practiced creation.
• Nuwa tried to create a perfect New Human Race at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, but the beings she made were inferior to the Innate Humans and her Primordial Violet Qi increased by only one percent.
• Hongjun observed Nuwa and reflected that she might have attained sainthood if he had given her Primordial Violet Qi, while continuing to watch the Three Pure Ones, Hongyun, and Candle Dragon.
• Mohe sensed an insight while discussing the Dao with Zhunti and declared that Mount Sumeru should have a Great Sun Tathagata.

Maha, Zhunti, and Jieyin nurtured the Great Sun Tathagata seed on Mount Sumeru, while Lu Yang watched over his hidden avatar and deduced its scripture. After powerful beings challenged its birth, Hongjun supported it, and the True Scripture began to appear as Nuwa set out to seek Houtu’s help.

• Maha explained that the Buddha-nature seed on Mount Sumeru could become Great Sun Tathagata, and Zhunti and Jieyin joined him in nourishing it with their Buddha’s light.
• Lu Yang watched the seed, which was secretly his avatar, and continued deducing the True Scripture of Great Sun Tathagata.
• As Mount Sumeru’s radiance spread, living beings attained enlightenment, and a phantom of Great Sun Tathagata appeared above the growing lotus.
• Bai Ze alerted Di Jun to the phenomenon, and Di Jun sent Xuantian to Mount Sumeru, where Xuantian encountered Hongyun and several powerful beings gathered.
• When some powers opposed Great Sun Tathagata’s birth, Hongjun arrived and supported it, averting a battle; the True Scripture then began appearing on the unopened lotus.
• Nuwa left Mount Sumeru and planned to visit the Houtu Tribe to ask Houtu for help.
