• Eastern Emperor Taiyi opened the vault and gave Li Yun the token needed to remove a protected treasure.
• Li Yun entered the vault and searched specifically for the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Ruler.

Unable to find the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Ruler in the Demon Race Treasure Vault, Li Yun discovered and subdued half of the God-Slaying Spear instead. After claiming it as his master, he was pulled into a strange, pitch-black space and found himself trapped.

• Li Yun searched the deepest parts of the Demon Race Treasure Vault but found no trace of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Ruler.
• Li Yun recognized a broken spear as half of the God-Slaying Spear and decided to claim it instead.
• Li Yun used Eastern Emperor Taiyi's token to break the spear's restriction, then endured its killing intent until it stopped resisting.
• Li Yun fed the spear his essence blood, completing the master-recognition ritual.
• Li Yun was dragged into a pitch-black space that bypassed the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, where he could sense no way out.

Li Yun confronted Luohu’s remnant soul inside the God-Slaying Spear and negotiated to become his inheritor rather than be possessed or enslaved. Luohu promised him the complete Method of Attaining Dao through Law, leaving Li Yun intrigued by the possibility of combining it with his path of Attaining Dao through Strength.

• Luohu’s remnant soul appeared, immobilized Li Yun, and considered him a potential host despite his Pangu bloodline.
• Li Yun warned Luohu that his master, two martial uncles, and three other Saints could unite against him.
• Luohu offered Li Yun a choice between death, slavery, and becoming his inheritor in exchange for finding the shattered Twelve-grade Destruction Black Lotus and rebuilding Luohu’s body.
• Li Yun chose to become Luohu’s inheritor and demanded access to all of his inheritance.
• Luohu agreed and promised the complete Method of Attaining Dao through Law, which Li Yun considered combining with his cultivation of the Law of Strength.

Laozi's avatar and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda rescued Li Yun from Luohu's Remnant Soul and captured Luohu after Li Yun revealed the inheritance and cultivation method Luohu had offered. Laozi then heard how Luohu had planned to revive by rebuilding his body with the shattered Twelve-grade Destruction Black Lotus.

• Luohu's Remnant Soul asked Li Yun to make a Dao Heart Oath, but the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda broke into the dark world and freed him.

• Laozi told Li Yun that Luohu's strength confirmed Pangu had attained the Great Dao and surpassed the Saints.
• Li Yun told Laozi that Luohu had asked him to find the shattered Twelve-grade Destruction Black Lotus so Luohu could rebuild his body and revive, and that Luohu had threatened to possess him before agreeing to a deal.

Laozi took Luohu's Remnant Soul and left Half of the God-Slaying Spear with Li Yun, then discovered the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Ruler was missing. After they left the Demon Race Treasure Vault, Laozi gave Li Yun the Taiji Diagram for protection.

• Laozi decided to keep Luohu's Remnant Soul imprisoned in the Xuanhuang Pagoda and said the unsealed promise no longer bound Li Yun.
• Laozi confirmed Half of the God-Slaying Spear was ownerless and safe for Li Yun to keep, while agreeing Luohu's memories could be useful.
• Li Yun told Laozi he had not found the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Ruler, and Laozi suspected it was with one of the attendees at the gathering.
• Li Yun awoke, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi apologized for the danger and allowed him to take Half of the God-Slaying Spear.
• Laozi left the treasure vault with Li Yun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, retrieved the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, and placed the Taiji Diagram in Li Yun's sea of consciousness.

Laozi lent Li Yun the Taiji Diagram and sent him to join Xuandu and the other disciples, prompting Eastern Emperor Taiyi to recognize Li Yun’s value. At the gathering, Li Yun described the Demon Race Treasure Vault and learned about Da Peng’s newly enhanced abilities, then offered to examine Da Peng’s wings and advise him.

• Laozi let Li Yun use the Taiji Diagram and told him to join Xuandu and the others.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi decided to urge his Big Brother to win Li Yun over and increase their efforts.
• Li Yun told Xuandu, Kong Xuan, Da Peng, and the others that he had taken a spear from the Demon Race Treasure Vault after seeing at least five Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures there.
• Da Peng showed Li Yun the Light-Dark Sword and Five-Elements Armor and explained how the Yin-Yang Five Elements Origin had enhanced his wings and escape technique.
• Li Yun suggested that Da Peng focus on cultivating his wings and asked to examine them, and Kong Xuan gave his approval.

Li Yun explained how Da Peng could develop his acquired Yin-Yang Five Elements Origin through the Light-Dark Sword and strengthen his Five-Elements Armor. Realizing he could fuse the Yin-Yang Trait with the Five-Colored Divine Light Trait, Li Yun used the system to upgrade his Traits to Red Affixes.

• Da Peng revealed his newly awakened wings, and Li Yun identified their power as acquired Yin-Yang Five Elements Origin left behind after Da Peng transferred his Yin-Yang Origin to Kong Xuan.
• Li Yun advised Da Peng to cultivate Light-Dark Power through the Light-Dark Sword and eventually develop the Light-Dark Law, using his wings to create a powerful movement technique.
• Li Yun told Da Peng that fusing Five-Elements Origin into his Five-Elements Armor could raise it to Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and greatly improve his defense.
• Kong Xuan and Da Peng thanked Li Yun for his guidance, and Da Peng looked forward to developing his power and armor.
• Li Yun realized he could fuse the Yin-Yang Trait with the Five-Colored Divine Light Trait and ordered the system to upgrade all his Traits to Red Affixes.

Li Yun fused the Five-Colored Divine Light and Yin-Yang Origin traits into Chaos Divine Light, then advised Gui Ling to give her Clone Mirror to her father, Mystic Turtle. The mirror could let Mystic Turtle create an Innate Dao Body and potentially continue cultivating even after sacrificing his original body.

• Li Yun learned that trait fusion upgrades could fail only when upgrading a Divine Trait, then fused the Five-Colored Divine Light Trait and Yin-Yang Origin Trait using one hundred Red Affixes.
• The fusion succeeded, giving Li Yun the Gold trait Chaos Divine Light, which offered powerful offense and defense and could absorb Chaos Power.
• Xuandu and the others asked about Li Yun’s startled reaction, and Gui Ling requested his guidance.
• Gui Ling showed Li Yun her Clone Mirror, which could create a clone inheriting eighty percent of her strength but would divide away half her fortune.
• Li Yun advised Gui Ling to give the mirror to her father, Mystic Turtle, because a clone with an Innate Dao Body could let him keep cultivating while his original body became the pillars of the Primordial World.

Li Yun explained how the Mirror could free Mystic Turtle and empower him, prompting Zhenwu to arrange for Black Tortoise to retrieve it. He then examined Yu Ding’s Twelve Yuan Chen Tower and revealed its potential to harness the power of twelve Ancient Stars, leaving the group eager to hear how it could enhance Yu Ding’s Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

• Li Yun told Gui Ling and Zhenwu that the Mirror could help Mystic Turtle escape and grant him near-invincible strength beneath the Saints.
• Zhenwu said Black Tortoise would come retrieve the Mirror, since returning with it would be too dangerous.
• Yu Ding asked Li Yun to examine his Twelve Yuan Chen Tower, which drew Stellar Force to strengthen him and speed his cultivation.
• Li Yun identified the tower as a powerful support treasure that could channel the power of twelve Ancient Stars and potentially rival a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
• Li Yun explained that Yu Ding could refine the Ancient Star power into his Magical Power and perhaps fuse it into his body through the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Li Yun examined the Spirit Treasures the other guests had obtained, then decided to postpone fusing the Chaos Divine Light with his body. As Di Jun’s birthday gathering ended, his attempt to recruit the assembled cultivators failed, and the guests departed, leaving him furious.

• Yu Ding thanked Li Yun for his guidance and promised to help him in the future.
• Jin Ling, Wudang, Tai Yi, and Huang Long asked Li Yun to assess their ordinary High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, while Xuandu showed him the Yellow Seal, which contained a Gravity Law core.
• Li Yun considered where to fuse the Chaos Divine Light but chose to wait until he had a reason to strengthen a particular part of his body.
• After five hundred years, Di Jun invited the guests to join the Demon Clan, but no one agreed.
• Ancestor Minghe left first, and the other guests followed; the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti then departed with Li Yun and the other disciples.
• After the guests had left, Di Jun cursed them and vowed to make them regret rejecting him.

After the Demon Clan failed to recruit the Three Pure Ones and other powerful figures, Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi plotted to forge a treasure from the Human Race’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits to kill Ancestor Witches. Di Jun planned to place one of his relatives among Nuwa’s disciples to prevent her from interfering.

• Nuwa and Fuxi left the Demon Emperor’s Palace to recruit disciples through trials, and the Demon Commanders and Demon Gods departed to pursue their own plans.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi dismissed the remaining guests and reminded Di Jun that the Three Pure Ones’ ties to the Ancestor Witches had contributed to the failed recruitment.
• Di Jun feared Xuanming’s new power and resolved to kill one or more Ancestor Witches so the Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Array would collapse.
• Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi recalled that a little demon had used Human Race souls to empower a treasure that could pierce a Witch Clan member’s defenses.
• Di Jun proposed collecting enough Human Race souls to forge a weapon capable of bypassing an Ancestor Witch’s defenses, believing the Three Pure Ones would not intervene if the Human Race survived.
• Di Jun decided to have Di Yi and the others enter Nuwa’s disciple selection so that one of them could join her sect and keep her from opposing their plan.

Ancestor Minghe stopped the Three Pure Ones to request a private discussion at Kunlun Mountain, where Zhen Yuanzi and the badly injured Hong Yun soon sought refuge from those hunting Hong Yun for his Hongmeng Purple Qi. The Three Pure Ones let them enter, while pursuers waited outside and the Saints quietly considered their own plans for the treasure.

• Ancestor Minghe asked the Three Pure Ones to speak with him privately at Kunlun Mountain, and Laozi agreed to bring him along.
• Zhen Yuanzi and the injured Hong Yun arrived at Kunlun Mountain and greeted the Three Pure Ones and Ancestor Minghe.
• Zhen Yuanzi explained that more than a dozen groups had attacked them after they left the Demon Clan, and Hong Yun lamented that former friends had turned against him for profit.
• The Three Pure Ones allowed Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun to enter Kunlun Mountain, while secretly considering the Hongmeng Purple Qi as a possible treasure for their disciples.
• The pursuers stayed outside Kunlun Mountain to await Hong Yun, and the Three Pure Ones silently weighed their next move.

Hong Yun asked the Three Pure Ones to investigate whether the Hongmeng Purple Qi bestowed on him was fake, explaining that it had never acknowledged him or responded to his attempts to refine it. After Ancestor Minghe swore not to seize it, Hong Yun drew the purple qi out before everyone, leaving the Three Pure Ones and Minghe shocked.

• Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian sent their disciples away, while Laozi summoned Li Yun to the main hall with the Three Pure Ones.
• Laozi asked Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun why they had come to Kunlun Mountain, and Hong Yun admitted he wanted help determining whether his Hongmeng Purple Qi was fake.
• Hong Yun said the purple qi had never acknowledged him or responded to his refining, and Zhen Yuanzi confirmed that Hong Yun had been unable to communicate with it.
• Laozi asked Hong Yun to demonstrate, and Ancestor Minghe swore on his Dao Heart that he would not seize the purple qi.
• Hong Yun drew a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi from himself, and the Three Pure Ones and Ancestor Minghe stepped forward in shock.

Laozi confirmed that Hong Yun’s Hongmeng Purple Qi was a counterfeit lacking Heavenly Dao Origin, so it could not make him a Saint. Zhen Yuanzi suspected Hongjun had used Hong Yun and the false strand to divert danger from his own disciples, while Hong Yun hinted there was more to the matter.

• Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian initially judged Hong Yun’s Hongmeng Purple Qi to be genuine based on its appearance and aura.
• Laozi examined the strand and explained that it lacked Heavenly Dao Origin, making it unable to merge with a primordial spirit or grant sainthood.
• Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian confirmed Laozi’s assessment, leaving Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi bitter and aggrieved.
• Ancestor Minghe questioned why Hongjun had given Hong Yun a false strand without explaining its nature.
• Zhen Yuanzi concluded that Hongjun had used Hong Yun as a decoy to draw attacks away from his six disciples.
• Li Yun privately suspected Hong Yun had also been chosen because he had given up his seat to the Two Western Saints, and Hong Yun suggested there was more to the scheme.

Hong Yun revealed that he had absorbed a drop of Chaos Demon God Essence Blood before awakening, and suspected it was connected to Hongjun. The others realized Hongjun might be targeting Hong Yun to reclaim the blood, and Yuanshi Tianzun asked what Hong Yun planned to do next.

• Hong Yun told Zhen Yuanzi and the others that he had originally been the First Cloud of Heaven and Earth and became a red cloud after absorbing Chaos Demon God Essence Blood.
• Minghe revealed that he was part of the Pangu Lineage because the Sea of Blood had formed from Pangu Filth Blood.
• Hong Yun recalled that his blood had surged when he first saw Hongjun at Zixiao Palace and suspected the essence blood he absorbed belonged to Hongjun.
• Li Yun reasoned that Hong Yun may have disrupted Hongjun's original foundation and schemes, while the Three Pure Ones concluded Hong Yun's death could strengthen Hongjun.
• Yuanshi Tianzun asked Hong Yun what he planned to do next.

Hong Yun offered the False Hongmeng Purple Qi in exchange for protection during the Tribulation, and chose Tongtian to shelter him at Kunlun Mountain. After Tongtian left with Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, Laozi reassured Yuanshi Tianzun and asked Ancestor Minghe why he had come.

• Hong Yun asked the Three Pure Ones to protect him during the Tribulation in return for his False Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• Laozi declined the item, and Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian both agreed to accept it.
• Hong Yun chose Tongtian, handed him the False Hongmeng Purple Qi, and accepted the condition that he stay within Kunlun Mountain.
• Tongtian took Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi to Biyou Palace and offered Hong Yun a place to stay until the Tribulation ended.
• After they left, Laozi advised Yuanshi Tianzun not to dwell on Hong Yun's choice, then asked Ancestor Minghe what had brought him there.

Ancestor Minghe sought a method for Attaining Dao through Strength from Laozi and Yuanshi, offering the mysterious Nine Nether Seal in exchange. Laozi examined the seal and discovered its remarkable origin, leaving the Three Pure Ones eager to learn more.

• Ancestor Minghe explained that Severing the Three Corpses had left him unable to advance, so he hoped to Attain Dao through Strength.
• Laozi and Yuanshi said they could exchange a cultivation method, though they would not give Minghe Pangu's inheritance.
• Ancestor Minghe presented the Nine Nether Seal, which made Li Yun, Laozi, and Yuanshi feel their blood surge.
• Minghe claimed the seal had been nurtured in the Sea of Blood, originated from Pangu, and might contain an inheritance that only Pangu's direct descendants could refine.
• Laozi examined the Nine Nether Seal with his divine sense, then withdrew his power and remarked that its origin was astonishing.

Laozi explained that the Nine Nether Seal was a growth-type Chaos Spiritual Treasure containing a complete Netherworld Law, and Ancestor Minghe exchanged it for the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique to pursue Attaining Dao through Strength. After Yuanshi Tianzun copied the Netherworld Law into Jade Talismans, Laozi considered giving the seal to Ancestor Witch Xuanming.

• Laozi revealed the Nine Nether Seal's origins, growth potential, and complete Netherworld Law.
• Ancestor Minghe exchanged the seal for the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and chose to stay at Kunlun Mountain to study it with Li Yun and the Three Pure Ones' disciples.
• Laozi told Yuanshi Tianzun to try refining the seal and copy its Dark Law for Zhenwu and Gui Ling.
• Yuanshi Tianzun extracted the Netherworld Law into Jade Talismans, gave one to Sect Master Tongtian for Gui Ling, and asked whether they would give the seal to Ancestor Witch Xuanming.

Laozi explained that the Nine Nether Seal’s sacrificial evolution required countless lives and could damage its owner, making it unsuitable for the Three Pure Ones or Li Yun. The group decided to have Minghe trade it to Xuanming, and Laozi prepared to leave him information for when he emerged from seclusion.

• Laozi explained that the Nine Nether Seal’s backlash could harm the Three Pure Ones and that its evolution required sacrifices of countless lives.
• Laozi said Xuanming could benefit from the seal because the Witch-Demon Tribulation would provide the deaths needed for its evolution.
• Yuanshi Tianzun warned that the Three Pure Ones could not deliver the seal themselves without exposing their cooperation with the Ancestor Witches.
• Li Yun proposed that Minghe trade the seal to Xuanming, using the Witch Clan’s inheritance of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique as an incentive.
• Laozi agreed to leave information in the seal for Minghe and tell him that the Witch Clan had knowledge of the complete inheritance.
• Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian asked Laozi what he had originally called them to discuss.

Laozi revealed Luohu's Remnant Soul to Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian, explaining that Luohu's knowledge and potential revival could help them oppose Hongjun. The Three Pure Ones restrained Luohu, and Laozi prepared to extract his value while Luohu asked what they wanted from him.

• Laozi sealed the Palace of Supreme Purity with the Taiji Diagram, while Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian added the Pangu Banner and Immortal-Slaying Four Swords to isolate it.
• Laozi released Luohu's Remnant Soul from the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, and Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian recognized the Demon Ancestor.
• Li Yun recounted how he had found Half of the God-Slaying Spear and fallen into Luohu's scheme in the Demon Race Treasure Vault.
• Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian grew furious over Luohu's attempt to harm Li Yun, but Laozi said Luohu could not yet be killed because he held valuable inheritance and information about Hongjun.
• Laozi restrained Luohu and threatened him with eternal torment in the Xuanhuang Pagoda, prompting Luohu to ask what Laozi wanted from him.

Laozi negotiated with Luohu's Remnant Soul, seeking the full Method of Attaining Dao through Law in exchange for helping him recover and resurrect. Luohu agreed to cooperate with the Three Pure Ones and Li Yun against Hongjun, leaving Li Yun eager to obtain the method.

• Laozi demanded that Luohu's Remnant Soul reveal the complete Method of Attaining Dao through Law.
• Luohu refused, warning that other remnant souls existed and that he could self-destruct.
• Laozi offered to spare Luohu, help locate his other remnant souls, and reconstruct his body if he cooperated.
• Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian used Saintly pressure against Luohu after he challenged their willingness to help him.
• Luohu concluded that the Three Pure Ones had recognized Hongjun's schemes and agreed to share the method and hear their other demands.
• Li Yun rejoiced at the prospect of using the method to strengthen his Law of Strength.

Luohu's Remnant Soul told the Three Pure Ones and Li Yun how Hongjun had allied with the Heavenly Dao and defeated him during the Dao-Demon War. He explained that Hongjun's fused Dao body had severe limits, leaving the group with a clearer understanding of why Hongjun schemed against potential rivals.

• Laozi asked Luohu to reveal information, intelligence, and weaknesses concerning Hongjun.
• Luohu explained that Hongjun had been a Chaos Demon God whose body was destroyed by Pangu, leaving him to take form in the Primordial World and cooperate with the Heavenly Dao.
• Luohu recounted how Hongjun borrowed the Heavenly Dao's power to defeat him during the Dao-Demon War, despite Luohu's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and other treasures.
• Yuanshi Tianzun asked whether Hongjun had become invincible, and Luohu argued that Hongjun's fused Dao body was a flawed shortcut with little potential for further growth.
• The Three Pure Ones and Li Yun realized Hongjun feared powerful beings who could surpass him, and that Severing the Three Corpses had curtailed their potential.

Luohu's Remnant Soul explained that Hongjun's power was tied to the Heavenly Dao and suggested the Three Pure Ones seek the Earthly Dao as a rival source of power. Laozi decided to accelerate his plan to control the Human Race, while Li Yun doubted the Earthly Dao could overcome the Heavenly Dao.

• Li Yun asked whether Hongjun would remain bound to the level of merging with Dao, and Luohu's Remnant Soul explained that Hongjun could advance whenever the Heavenly Dao advanced.
• The Three Pure Ones became furious after learning that Hongjun had made them his chess pieces and asked Luohu's Remnant Soul how to oppose him.
• Luohu's Remnant Soul proposed resurrecting him and restoring his Demon God True Body, but Yuanshi Tianzun rejected the idea and asked for another method.
• Luohu's Remnant Soul suggested that one of the Three Pure Ones gain the Earthly Dao's recognition and merge with it to stand against Hongjun.
• Laozi decided to speed up his plan for the Human Race and sever Nuwa's ties to it, then asked where the Earthly Dao was.
• Li Yun doubted the Three Pure Ones could awaken the Earthly Dao, reasoning that establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation required the Ancestor Witches or someone with pure Pangu bloodline.

Luohu's Remnant Soul explained that Attaining Dao through Strength could transcend the Three Daos, but the Three Pure Ones could not pursue it because they had severed their corpses. He warned that Hongjun would exploit their vulnerability, and Li Yun realized this was the cause behind the Three Pure Ones' future split.

• Luohu's Remnant Soul said the Earthly Dao could only be found by awakening it, and its chosen awakener would likely gain its favor.
• Luohu's Remnant Soul described Attaining Dao through Strength as a way to break free of the Three Daos and potentially kill Hongjun, while Li Yun recognized it as his own path.
• Luohu's Remnant Soul told the Three Pure Ones that severing their corpses had made them unable to cultivate Attaining Dao through Strength or Law.
• Laozi asked how the Three Pure Ones could escape the Heavenly Dao's control, and Luohu's Remnant Soul warned that Hongjun might turn them against one another after their Pangu Fortune and Merit declined.
• Li Yun realized that Hongjun's scheme to divide the Three Pure Ones was the root of their future conflict during the Investiture of the Gods War.

Li Yun and the Three Pure Ones negotiated with Luohu's Remnant Soul for the Method of Attaining Dao through Law in exchange for help with his revival. After Laozi secured the soul, the group studied the method and learned that it required mastering a Law to major completion before beginning.

• Li Yun resolved to stop the Three Pure Ones from splitting and planned to discuss it with Laozi.
• Laozi agreed to help Luohu find the Black Lotus and part of the God-Slaying Spear, while keeping the other spear half for Li Yun.
• Luohu agreed to record the Method of Attaining Dao through Law on four Jade Talismans in exchange for a Soul Nurturing Jade and a new place to reside.
• Laozi checked the talismans, gave copies to Li Yun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Sect Master Tongtian, then sealed Luohu's Remnant Soul inside the Soul Nurturing Jade and stored it in the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.
• Yuanshi Tianzun, Sect Master Tongtian, and Li Yun read the method and learned how a Core of Law could eventually become a Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
• Laozi explained that the method was difficult because a cultivator first had to cultivate a Law to major completion, and attaining Hunyuan required surpassing that level.
