Chapter Summaries

Di Jun confronted Yuanshi over his insults toward the Demon Clan, but Hongjun stopped the growing conflict and rejected Kunpeng from the Mysterious Sect.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun distributed the Primordial Violet Qi and treasures before releasing the final strand for the assembled immortals to contest. As Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin disrupted the Heavenly Dao while seeking the Witch Clan’s future, Wu Tian’s strike sent the Qi to Hongyun, and Wu Tian wondered what his brothers had seen.

• Hongyun collected the final strand and thanked Wu Tian, while Wu Tian wondered whether Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin had seen the Witch Clan’s future and the Witch-Demon Tribulation.

After Hongyun received the final Primordial Violet Qi, he offered it to Wu Tian, believing Wu Tian had rightfully earned it. Wu Tian instead arranged for Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi, Xuan Ming, Houtu, and himself to study it together, hoping to protect Hongyun from his tragic fate; their discussion drew hostile attention from the other Dao listeners.

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin traveled through a Space-Time Torrent and glimpsed a possible future in which the Witch Clan fought the Demon Clan and Gonggong destroyed Mount Buzhou. The torrent cast them into a Space-Time Rift, where they found themselves stranded in the Void as their vitality faded.

• Wu Tian grew anxious to return to Pangu Hall and check on Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin after the Dao lecture ended.
• Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin saw visions of the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation clashing with the Demon Clan's starlight and Gonggong crashing into Mount Buzhou.

• Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin discovered a Chaos Demon God's corpse and frozen treasures and spiritual roots scattered through the Void.
• Zhu Jiuyin concluded that they had fallen into a Space-Time Rift, while Dijiang feared their absence would leave the Witch Clan's formation incomplete.

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin worried that their glimpse of the future might have altered Wu Tian’s role in the Witch Clan’s fate, but Dijiang convinced himself that Wu Tian would attain the Great Dao and prevent any harmful interference. They set aside their doubts and joined forces to sense the coordinates hidden in the essence blood so they could leave the Void.

• Zhu Jiuyin worried that peering into the future might have changed Wu Tian’s role in the Witch Clan’s destruction.
• Dijiang insisted that the Witch Clan would carve out its own future and that Wu Tian would protect them.
• Dijiang reasoned that Wu Tian must attain the Great Dao, since his future self would have stopped them from interfering if their actions could cause harm.

• Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin joined forces to sense the coordinates they had left in the essence blood.

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun ended the Zixiao Palace teachings and promised to distribute his collected treasures, he discovered the Ancestral Witches waiting atop Mount Buzhou. Wu Tian and the others hurried out to claim the treasures, leaving Hongjun uncertain whether to send Treasure Distribution Cliff down.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun ended the teachings, and the listeners received Heavenly Merit for attending.
• The listeners lamented that they had received no treasures, so Dao Ancestor Hongjun offered to place Treasure Distribution Cliff on Mount Buzhou for them to claim.
• Dao Ancestor Hongjun sensed Xuan Ming, Houtu, and Wu Tian waiting atop Mount Buzhou, and his plan to send down the treasures faltered.
• Wu Tian urged his companions to hurry out and collect their Prayer Mats before flying toward Mount Buzhou.
• Xuan Ming and Houtu collected their Prayer Mats, while the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa took their own after noticing Xuan Ming's interest.
• Wu Tian and the others left Zixiao Palace, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun hesitated over whether to put out Treasure Distribution Cliff.

Wu Tian left Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi to investigate the strange essence blood his brothers had given him, which they had used as coordinates for a dangerous journey through the River of Time. The chapter left Xuan Ming and Houtu searching for a way to help while Hongjun sent the treasure light toward Mount Buzhou, where Zhu Rong sensed its arrival.

• Wu Tian stopped Hongyun in Chaos and asked him and Zhen Yuanzi to continue to Mount Buzhou without him.
• Wu Tian revealed two drops of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood to Xuan Ming and Houtu and explained that his brothers had left them as coordinates so they would not become lost in the River of Time.
• Xuan Ming and Houtu began searching for a way to help before the essence blood’s power ran out and endangered Wu Tian’s brothers.
• The Three Pure Ones and the others arrived at Mount Buzhou and found several Ancestral Witches waiting there.
• Hongjun sent the mass of treasure light toward Mount Buzhou, and Zhu Rong sensed it approaching.

Zhu Rong tried to seize Treasure Distribution Cliff, but Hongjun’s power kept it beyond his reach as the returning Dao listeners attacked him. Gonggong and Ru Shou moved to retaliate, until Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun intervened, leaving Gonggong to demand why his friend was stopping him.

• Zhu Rong rushed to seize Treasure Distribution Cliff, and Gonggong punched Yuanshi when he objected.
• Yuanshi shattered Gonggong’s fist with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, while Gonggong turned his attention back to Zhu Rong.
• The returning Dao listeners attacked Zhu Rong as he reached for Treasure Distribution Cliff, but Hongjun’s Dao Resonance made it untouchable.
• Gonggong and Ru Shou revealed their Ancestral Witch True Forms and prepared to attack the listeners who had struck Zhu Rong.
• Zhen Yuanzi restrained Gonggong, and Hongyun blocked Ru Shou; Gonggong recognized Zhen Yuanzi and asked why he was stopping a friend.

Gonggong and the other Ancestral Witches tried to claim Treasure Distribution Cliff for the Witch Clan, provoking the Three Pure Ones to fight them while other powers rushed for the treasures. The arriving Ancestral Witches blocked every attempt to approach the cliff, leaving both sides at a stalemate.

• Gonggong rejected Zhen Yuanzi's warning and claimed the treasures belonged to the Witch Clan because they had fallen on Mount Buzhou, while Zhen Yuanzi learned that Wu Tian had ordered them to seize Treasure Distribution Cliff.
• Yuanshi attacked Gonggong, Taiqing intercepted Zhu Rong, and Tongtian challenged Ru Shou, drawing the Three Pure Ones into battle with three Ancestral Witches.
• Taiyi proposed that the Four Demon Emperors kill an Ancestral Witch, but Di Jun refused and led them toward Treasure Distribution Cliff to seize treasures instead.
• Jieyin and Zhunti also charged toward the cliff, but Zhu Rong broke Zhunti's attack and shouted for the other Ancestral Witches to stop anyone approaching.
• Jumang warned that the Ancestral Witches would target anyone who tried to take a treasure, and their arrival brought the conflict to a deadlock.

Yuanshi escalated the battle against Gonggong by unleashing the Pangu Banner, but Zhen Yuanzi shielded Gonggong with the Earth Book and urged him to hold back. As treasure lights burst from Treasure Distribution Cliff, the gathered cultivators turned their attention to seizing them.

• Di Jun held Taiyi back from using the Chaos Bell, while the Four Demon Emperors deliberately fought the Ancestral Witches halfheartedly.
• Yuanshi brought out the Pangu Banner and sent a Chaos-colored attack at Gonggong despite Taiqing's attempt to stop him.
• Zhen Yuanzi used the Earth Book and the Primordial Wilderness's Earth Veins to dissipate the attack, which shook Mount Buzhou and forced Gonggong back.
• Zhen Yuanzi persuaded Gonggong not to charge at Yuanshi, suggesting the Ancestral Witches could retaliate together once they had gathered.
• Treasure Distribution Cliff erupted with treasure lights, and the gathered cultivators rushed to seize them as the Ancestral Witches cried out for their spiritual treasures.

Wu Tian used the Pangu True Form to empower two drops of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood and escaped Chaos with Xuan Ming and Houtu. They reunited with Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin in Pangu Hall, where Dijiang urged them to take the hall and settle the score with those who had attacked the Witch Clan.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun scattered the treasures from Treasure Distribution Cliff, and the gathered cultivators seized most of them despite the Ancestral Witches' attempts to stop them.
• Yuanshi rushed to claim Treasure Distribution Cliff, sparking a fight between the Three Pure Ones and the seven Ancestral Witches.
• Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun protected Treasure Distribution Cliff with the Earth Book, defying Minghe, Zhunti, and the other onlookers who tried to seize it.
• Xuan Ming and Houtu urged Wu Tian to use the Pangu True Form to empower the two depleted drops of Ancestral Witch Essence Blood, and he used their renewed power to return with them to Pangu Hall.
• Wu Tian, Xuan Ming, and Houtu reunited with the wounded Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, and Dijiang urged them to take Pangu Hall and settle the score.

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin returned wounded from the River of Time, and Wu Tian led the gathered Ancestral Witches to Mount Buzhou in Pangu Hall. The Three Pure Ones braced against the hall’s crushing force, and Wu Tian raised the Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler to strike Taiqing’s defensive treasure.

• Wu Tian warned Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin to tend to their injuries, but Dijiang insisted they proceed as Pangu Hall rose and carried the Ancestral Witches toward Mount Buzhou.
• Zhu Rong and the other Ancestral Witches rejoiced at Dijiang’s return, while Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun welcomed Wu Tian before Dijiang ordered the Three Pure Ones surrounded.
• Old Ancestor Minghe, Jieyin, Zhunti, and many other cultivators fled as the Ancestral Witches gathered, while the Four Demon Emperors and Kunpeng stayed to watch.
• The Three Pure Ones regrouped beneath Taiqing’s Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, with the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation defending them.
• Pangu Hall descended and forced the Exquisite Pagoda to strain under its pressure, so Wu Tian raised the Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler and slashed at it.

Wu Tian struck Taiqing’s Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth with the Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler, and the collision sent the Three Pure Ones flying while damaging both treasures. Examining the ruler afterward, Wu Tian discovered it had absorbed a trace of the pagoda’s origin, which was helping its fiftieth Innate Forbidden Restriction form.

• Wu Tian’s Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler broke through the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth’s defenses and struck its tip, while Xuan Ming and Houtu steadied him against the rebound.
• The damaged pagoda hurled Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Tongtian backward, and the Three Pure Ones arranged new defenses before Taiqing recalled it.
• Taiqing admitted the Primordial Measuring Sky Ruler had gained the upper hand, while Yuanshi argued that the pagoda had already been weakened by Pangu Hall.
• Wu Tian found a tiny notch on the ruler and discovered black-and-yellow qi containing a trace of origin power within its restrictions.
• Wu Tian realized the stolen origin from the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth was helping the ruler develop protective laws and advance toward a higher level.

Wu Tian and the Ancestral Witches recovered Treasure Distribution Cliff, but Dijiang refused to let the dispute end there and trapped the Three Pure Ones in the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation. As onlookers feared the Witch Clan might target them next, Zhenyuanzi urged Wu Tian to stop the escalation.

• The Ancestral Witches accused the Three Pure Ones and the others of stealing the Witch Clan's treasures from Treasure Distribution Cliff, and Yuanshi argued that the cliff had been bestowed by Hongjun.
• Taiqing proposed yielding Treasure Distribution Cliff to end the dispute, and Dijiang took it from Zhenyuanzi and handed it to Wu Tian.
• Dijiang declared that the Witch Clan would settle the remaining grievance over stolen spiritual treasures and ordered the Ancestral Witches to form their formation.
• The Ancestral Witches surrounded the Three Pure Ones with the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation, while Di Jun, Taiyi, and other onlookers worried the Witch Clan might come after them.
• Zhenyuanzi urged Wu Tian to persuade Dijiang to stop before the Witch Clan alienated the other great cultivators.

Wu Tian tried to persuade Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin to give the Witch Clan a better reason for fighting the Three Pure Ones, but they chose to press their advantage and demand two Spiritual Treasures. The chapter left Taiqing facing an ultimatum, while Wu Tian wondered what had made the two Ancestral Witches so shrewd.

• Wu Tian thanked Zhen Yuanzi and sent Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin a voice transmission explaining the events at Zixiao Palace and warning that the Witch Clan would be criticized without a stronger excuse.
• Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin rejected Wu Tian’s concern, arguing that the Witch Clan should seize benefits while its Fortune was rising.
• Dijiang confronted the Three Pure Ones and demanded that Taiqing settle their Karma with the Witch Clan.
• Dijiang named the Southern Departure Fire Banner and Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner as the two Spiritual Treasures he wanted, despite Yuanshi insisting Hongjun had bestowed them.
• Zhu Jiuyin threatened to keep the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation in place for ten thousand or even one hundred thousand years unless the Three Pure Ones settled the matter.
• Taiqing grew bitter at the threat, while Wu Tian wondered why Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin suddenly seemed so clever.

The Ancestral Witches forced the Three Pure Ones into battle over the Southern Departure Fire Banner and Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner, then used their formation’s advantage to wear them down. Taiqing and Tongtian persuaded Yuanshi to retreat, leaving the Three Pure Ones to postpone settling the conflict until after they became Saints.

• Dijiang demanded the two banners from the Three Pure Ones and insisted the Witch Clan would keep fighting until they negotiated.
• Yuanshi attacked the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation, and the Ancestral Witches eagerly fought back as Taiqing and Tongtian joined him.
• Di Jun and Taiyi watched the battle, while Queen Mother of the West worried that the Witch Clan might seek the Innate Five Direction Flags and target Duke of the East.
• Zhunti feared the Witch Clan would come after the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, and Jieyin tried to reassure him.
• Taiqing and Tongtian urged Yuanshi to stop fighting and conserve time to refine their Primordial Violet Qi; Yuanshi reluctantly withdrew and lamented the humiliation.

Dijiang forced the Three Pure Ones to surrender the Southern Departure Fire Banner and Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner in exchange for ending their conflict with the Ancestral Witches. As the Three Pure Ones departed, they sensed an Innate Spiritual Treasure on Mount Buzhou, while Wu Tian realized the Innate Calabash Vine’s opportunity had survived the battle.

• Dijiang stopped the Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation and asked Taiqing whether he accepted the Ancestral Witches’ terms.
• Taiqing agreed to end the Karma between them and sent over the Southern Departure Fire Banner, then took the Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner from Yuanshi and surrendered it too.
• Dijiang collected both flags, stored them, and opened the formation so the Three Pure Ones could leave.
• The Three Pure Ones departed toward Kunlun Mountain, but they stopped after sensing an Innate Spiritual Treasure on Mount Buzhou.
• Wu Tian realized the opportunity involving the Innate Calabash Vine had continued and thought the Three Pure Ones would feel worse if they discovered it had acknowledged him as its master.

Wu Tian revealed that he had already refined the Innate Calabash Vine after the Three Pure Ones and the Four Demon Emperors rushed to claim the spiritual root on Mount Buzhou. The rivals backed down, but Yuanshi left in anger.

• Di Jun and the Three Pure Ones sensed an opportunity at the Innate Calabash Vine but hesitated because the Ancestral Witches controlled Mount Buzhou.
• Dijiang gave the two captured Innate Five Elements Flags to Wu Tian, trusting him to decide how they should be used.
• The Innate Calabash Vine’s formation shattered and its spiritual energy drew the Three Pure Ones and the Four Demon Emperors toward the valley.
• Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin blocked the newcomers while Wu Tian used the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to shield the valley.
• Wu Tian explained that he had refined the Innate Calabash Vine long ago and summoned it, proving its bond with him to the assembled rivals.
• Di Jun praised Wu Tian’s fortune, while Yuanshi left in anger after seeing the seven calabashes.

Wu Tian refused Di Jun’s request to trade for one of the gourds, while Taiqing, Tongtian, and Yuanshi left after deciding not to challenge the Witch Clan. As Di Jun prepared to depart with Fuxi and Nüwa, Nüwa became entranced by the Innate Calabash Vine and the mysterious light at its roots.

• Taiqing longed for the Innate Yin and Yang Qi in the gourds but left with Tongtian to catch up with Yuanshi.
• Tongtian noticed that Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin’s auras seemed weakened, and Yuanshi wanted to turn back to confront them.
• Taiqing persuaded Yuanshi that the Three Pure Ones could not overcome the Witch Clan and urged him to return to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate.
• Di Jun asked Wu Tian to trade him a gourd, but Wu Tian refused because he had his own plans for them.
• Taiyi complained that Wu Tian had accepted the Fusang Spiritual Branch from Di Jun without offering a gourd, and Houtu reminded Di Jun that he had given the branch to repay a favor.
• Di Jun tried to leave with Fuxi and Nüwa, but Nüwa stared entranced at the Innate Calabash Vine and the mysterious light at its roots.

Nüwa recognized the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth as a major opportunity and offered Wu Tian her treasures, including the Mountain and Rivers State Diagram, in exchange for it. Wu Tian declined for now, leaving Nüwa and Fuxi anxious and the possibility of a later deal open.

• Nüwa felt a strong resonance with the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth beneath the Innate Calabash Vine and told Fuxi, Di Jun, and Taiyi it held a great opportunity for her.
• Nüwa offered Wu Tian her Spiritual Treasures for the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth, while Fuxi promised that they would repay him for the favor.
• Wu Tian considered accepting because the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth could regenerate, but Xuan Ming's cough and the Ancestral Witches' reactions made him reconsider.
• Wu Tian decided that trading with Nüwa in front of Di Jun could cause trouble, so he refused and said the future could wait.
• Nüwa and Fuxi anxiously asked Wu Tian to name his terms, but he maintained that the Nine Heavens Breathing Earth was still useful to him.
