• Someone called out to Xuanqing, announcing wonderful news.

Xuanqing told Ancestor Reincarnation that the World Only I Breathing Method could solve the Star God Lineage’s predicament, and Ancestor Reincarnation agreed to take him to ask World Daoist for it. They reached World Daoist’s Daoist Arena, where a peerless female cultivator arrived on a jade lotus.

• World Daoist agreed to let Xuanqing teach and spread her method, then transmitted it to him and removed its restrictions.

Xuanqing received World Daoist’s World Only I Breathing Method and a world-type treasure, then opened a Lesser Thousand World within himself. Ziwei advanced to the Early-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal and received Star Sand from World Daoist, leaving him eager to claim the treasure.

• Xuanqing thanked World Daoist for passing on the World Only I Breathing Method, and World Daoist broke through to the Second Heaven of Hunyuan Celestial Venerable from the Destiny feedback.
• World Daoist nearly bowed to Xuanqing, then gave him a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure as compensation.
• With the World Fruit and World Daoist’s guidance, Xuanqing opened a Lesser Thousand World within his body and gained a slight rise in Destiny.

• The seven Beidou brothers—Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang—challenged Yin Ling together.
• Yin Ling struck once with a single finger and instantly defeated all seven brothers.

The Great Dao acknowledged their act and granted merit, while Heavenly Dao and Hongjun watched their plans collapse and Heavenly Dao vowed to kill Xuanqing in the third Immortal-Demon War.

• Xuanqing had forty-nine remaining Star Gods establish inner worlds, then the Star God Lineage announced that it would manifest as worlds to complete the Primordial Starry Sky.

• Heavenly Dao vowed to make Xuanqing perish in the third Immortal-Demon War and secretly took comfort that Hongjun did not know it had accelerated the Star God Lineage’s cultivation.

After the Star Gods opened worlds within their bodies, the Heavenly Dao secretly turned Quasi-Saints against Xuanqing, while Xuanqing prepared to travel through the Primordial Wilderness and teach the World Only I Breathing Method to the Witch Race and select allies.

• The forty-nine Star Gods on the Purple Emperor Star opened worlds within their bodies while the Heavenly Dao refrained from intervening under the Great Dao's attention.
• Di Jun and other Quasi-Saints developed hostility toward Xuanqing under the Heavenly Dao's influence, and Di Jun briefly recognized the manipulation before the Heavenly Dao strengthened it through his Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• Xuanqing asked Ancestor Reincarnation to check whether the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun had noticed him, but Ancestor Reincarnation found no danger and reassured him.
• Xuanqing decided to travel through the Primordial Wilderness to teach the World Only I Breathing Method to the Witch Race and select allies, then arranged protections for Ziwei and his forty-nine granddisciples before departing.

Xuanqing left Ziwei Imperial Star under the Heavenly Dao’s influence and went to Pangu Hall, where he gave Houtu Great Dao Merit and the World Only I Breathing Method. Houtu accepted both, preparing to use the method to practice creating the realm of Reincarnation.

• The Heavenly Dao spent Heavenly Dao Origin to make Xuanqing restless and draw him away from Ziwei Imperial Star, hoping to attack him beyond Ancestor Reincarnation’s protection.

• Xuanqing and Houtu agreed that bringing World Daoist to their side could benefit both him and the Primordial Wilderness, and Xuanqing explained Heavenly Dao’s attack on the Star God Lineage.
• Houtu warned Xuanqing to be cautious of Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, prompting him to pay respects at Pangu’s memorial tablet.

• Xuanqing thanked Pangu, then left Pangu Hall to teach the World Breathing Method to the other Witches while keeping Heavenly Dao’s influence from Houtu.
• Heavenly Dao welcomed Xuanqing’s return from Pangu Hall, and Xuanqing told Ancestor Reincarnation that Heavenly Dao had influenced his actions.
• Ancestor Reincarnation concluded that Heavenly Dao had used its Origin to bypass the protections he had placed on Xuanqing.

Xuanqing learned that the Heavenly Dao had spent Heavenly Dao Origin to bypass Ancestor Reincarnation’s protection, and he decided to lure out its next move. At the border of the Central and Southern Continents, he slaughtered the Quasi-Saints sent to block him, while the Heavenly Court protested that he was destroying its strength.
