Zhu Long persuaded Duke of the East to accept forty-nine Dragon Clan members in exchange for a clue to the Twelfth Grade World Cleansing White Lotus, which was hidden on Mount Fangzhang Immortal Island.

• Wu Tian tested the Pangu Seal, then heard Queen Mother of the West's news and told her not to panic because the Witch Clan would protect her.

Queen Mother of the West worried that Duke of the East’s alliance with the Dragon Clan would entangle her through the Celestial Court, but Wu Tian dismissed her fears and asked for her Western Plain Cloud Banner. She gave it to him, and he offered her a precious Primordial Purple Calabash in return.

• Queen Mother of the West told Wu Tian that her Fortune was tied to the Celestial Court and that Duke of the East bringing in the Dragon Clan could implicate her.
• Wu Tian reminded Queen Mother of the West that she had willingly sheltered Dark Bird and said Duke of the East would soon die as the Demon Clan and Dragon Clan threatened him.
• Wu Tian asked Queen Mother of the West to give him the Western Plain Cloud Banner early, and she initially challenged him before handing over the flag.
• Wu Tian accepted the Western Plain Cloud Banner and gave Queen Mother of the West a Primordial Purple Calabash containing Innate Pure Yang Qi as compensation.

Wu Tian gave Queen Mother of the West the Primordial Purple-Gold Gourd, winning her gratitude and offering a way to summon him in danger. After explaining his strategy of making allies, he began considering trading Primordial Violet Qi to Di Jun for the Chaos Bell when the Witch Clan retreated.

• Wu Tian gave Queen Mother of the West the Primordial Purple-Gold Gourd and taught her a spell to summon him if she faced danger.
• Queen Mother of the West thanked Wu Tian, left the Houtu Shrine, and realized the gourd suited her cultivation better than the Western Plain Cloud Banner.
• Houtu asked why Wu Tian had given Queen Mother of the West the treasure, and Wu Tian explained that he wanted to turn a transaction into an alliance.
• Wu Tian reflected on his plans to lead the Witch Clan into the Underworld rather than fight the Demon Clan to destruction.
• Wu Tian considered giving Di Jun the Primordial Violet Qi in exchange for the Chaos Bell, while Houtu watched him with growing curiosity.

• Wu Tian led the Ancestral Witches out of Houtu Shrine and urged them to bring out their treasure banners so they could test the formation.

Wu Tian helped the Ancestral Witches form the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation, which harnessed five flags and five directional divine spirits to control the land and withstand Pangu Hall's strike. After he proposed hiding the formation within the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation, Houtu handed him control of the Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner to test whether he could operate it.

• Wu Tian taught Goumang, Ru Shou, Zhu Rong, Xuan Ming, and Houtu to arrange the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation, which drew in the Five Directional Divine Spirits and gained the power of a supreme treasure.
• Dijiang struck the formation with Pangu Hall, and it held against the attack until Wu Tian stopped him from risking damage to the land.
• Dijiang told Wu Tian that he and Zhu Jiuyin had recovered from their injuries and grown stronger, so Wu Tian proposed concealing the formation within the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation.

• Zhu Rong and Goumang complained that Houtu had taken the chance to work with Wu Tian before they could.

Wu Tian reversed the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation so it transformed Innate Spiritual Qi into Baleful Qi, allowing it to merge with the Twelve Heavenly Gods Killing Formation. The combined formation worked smoothly and greatly increased in power, leaving Dijiang praising Wu Tian’s skill with Arrays Dao.

• Houtu stopped working on the formation after a premonition that she might be unable to set it up, so Wu Tian took over the Central Earth Apricot Yellow Banner.
• Zhu Rong told Wu Tian that the Innate Five Elements Flags’ spiritual qi irritated the Ancestral Witches, prompting Wu Tian to try reversing the Five Elements.
• Wu Tian and the Ancestral Witches reversed the formation, which transformed Innate Spiritual Qi into Baleful Qi and made Zhu Rong and the others feel empowered.

• The two grand formations merged harmoniously, concealed the Innate Five Elements Flags, and grew more powerful, prompting Dijiang to call Wu Tian an Arrays Dao genius.

Wu Tian and the Ancestral Witches finished preparing the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation and began establishing a connection between Pangu Hall and the twelve Ancestral Witch Divine Halls. Meanwhile, Di Jun sent Taiyi to oversee the Demon Summoning Banner and planned another visit to the Moon Star to discuss the Lunar Runes.

• Zhu Rong and the other Ancestral Witches handed Wu Tian their treasure flags so he could study how to control the Innate Five Elements Flags, while Ru Shou kept the Western Plain Cloud Banner to refine it.

• Wu Tian sensed the connection, tried drawing on Pangu Hall, and instantly appeared beside the Witch Clan's Blood Pool.
• Di Jun watched the strengthened Twelve Divine Heavens Great Sorcery Formation with envy, then gave Taiyi the Demon Summoning Banner to have chosen Demon Clan members place their divine souls inside it.

Di Jun and Taiyi discussed expanding the Golden Crow Clan, while Zhu Long schemed to use Duke of the East’s Celestial Court to reduce the Dragon Clan’s karmic burden. After learning how the Dragon Clan had boosted the Celestial Court’s prestige, Di Jun suspected Duke of the East was already caught in the tribulation and ordered Taiyi to watch him.
