Arc 18The Heart of Life and Heavenly Race
Sanqing fused as Taichu, claimed the Heart of Life, and negotiated with five Hunyuan Celestial Venerables while the Heavenly Dao moved against their allies. As Taichu remained trapped in Chaos, Haotian and Yaochi founded the Heavenly Human Race, and the arc ended with Fangzhang Immortal Island emerging.
- Taichu and the Sanqing subdued the Heart of Life, then Taiqing persuaded the five Hunyuan Celestial Venerables to create worlds around the Primordial Wilderness.
- Jidu showed the Heavenly Dao a recording identifying Taichu as Sanqing’s fusion, and the Heavenly Dao ordered Hongjun and Jidu to block his return.
- Hongjun and Jidu intercepted Taichu in Chaos while Xuanqing borrowed Houtu’s Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler and left to aid the Five Hunyuan Celestial Venerables.
- Haotian and Yaochi founded the Heavenly Human Race, but Houtu forced them to tie its members to the Earthly Dao’s reincarnation before they attained Sainthood.
- Haotian sent the 108 Heavenly Humans to conquer weaker races, while Sanqing sent their incarnations back to the Primordial Wilderness and Taichu drew his pursuers deeper into Chaos.
- Haotian sent Jidu and the Devil Race to claim Fangzhang Immortal Island as Daoist De, King Yuanshi, and Daoist Tongtian arrived in the Primordial Wilderness.
- Fangzhang Immortal Island emerged, Hong Yun calmed its spiritual-qi storms, and the gathered races rushed toward it as ten Heavenly Humans headed for its central stele.
