• Di Jiang proposed taking Lin Tian to Pangu Hall to determine the truth, over Zhu Rong’s objection, and Lin Tian agreed to go.

Lin Tian entered Pangu Hall with Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches, where Pangu’s phantom appeared and confirmed their old friendship.

As the group realized the benefits of his training, a burst of light appeared in the southwest, where Lin Tian found a congenital formation.

• Qiangliang, Zhu Rong, and others objected when Lin Tian ordered them to climb Buzhou Mountain, but Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin agreed to follow him.

• Di Jiang collapsed from exhaustion at the mountainside, and Lin Tian stopped the others and asked to see their cultivation technique.
• Di Jiang revealed their incomplete Nine Revolutions Profound Art, and Lin Tian promised to teach them the complete method he said Pangu had given him.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches noticed their bodies and bloodlines had improved, and Zhu Rong thanked Lin Tian before a flash of light drew the group toward a congenital formation.

Fuxi and Nuwa met Lin Tian and the ancestral witches after Fuxi's spell damaged their formation, and Lin Tian apologized and offered them two Spiritual Treasures. Nuwa joined Houtu and Xuan Ming on a visit to the witches' home, while Fuxi was dragged along, where the guests were offered roughly prepared Golden Horned Beast meat.

• Houtu and Xuan Ming befriended Nuwa, who asked to visit with them; Lin Tian invited Fuxi to come along, and Gong Gong dragged him away.
• At the witches' home, Di Jiang presented three Golden Horned Beasts for the guests to eat, and Lin Tian questioned their crude way of preparing the meat.

Lin Tian introduced grilled meat and Spiritual Wine to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, then taught Houtu to cook so he would not have to prepare every meal. After several thousand yuanhui of training with Fuxi and Nuwa, a powerful pressure struck, and Lin Tian suspected Hongjun had become a Saint.

• Fuxi asked Lin Tian to teach him and Nuwa, and Lin Tian agreed.
• After everyone finished cultivating, a powerful pressure forced them to the ground, and Lin Tian wondered whether Hongjun had become a Saint.

Hongjun attained sainthood, and Lin Tian explained the limits and nature of sainthood to the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Nuwa, and Fuxi. He urged them to attend Hongjun’s future sermon and promised the Ancestral Witches they could gain primordial spirits; the chapter ended as Hongjun appeared before Lin Tian.

• Hongjun’s pressure forced everyone except Lin Tian to their knees until Lin Tian dispelled it, then Hongjun announced his sainthood and invited those with affinity to hear him preach at Purple Cloud Palace in ten thousand years.

• Lin Tian encouraged Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches to attend Hongjun’s sermon, and promised the Ancestral Witches they would gain primordial spirits in the future.
• Lin Tian sensed Hongjun in the distant void and called him out, and Hongjun emerged and remarked that Lin Tian had indeed broken through.

Hongjun challenged Lin Tian to settle their grudges, but Lin Tian defeated him in Chaos despite the Heavenly Dao lending Hongjun power. The Heavenly Dao rescued Hongjun’s treasures and resurrected him in Purple Sky Palace, where Hongjun angrily questioned its promise that Saints were immortal.

• Hongjun arrived to challenge Lin Tian, and the ancestral witches, Fuxi, and Nuwa prepared to defend Lin Tian before he stopped them and went with Hongjun into Chaos.
• Hongjun attacked Lin Tian with the Pangu Banner and Taiji Diagram, but Lin Tian’s Chaos Purple Lotus and God-Slaying Spear repelled his treasures.
