Candle Dragon accepted Laozi’s proposal to support Humanity Dao and provide Dragon Clan bloodline origin, while Di Jun and the others celebrated the birth of the Ten Jade Rabbits.

Fuxi said Nuwa could not repeat the method that had once helped her, and Nuwa proposed using the Cai Bu Technique to absorb the Extreme Yang energy from the Ten Jade Rabbits, despite the danger to them. Kunpeng suggested that Li Yun might do it safely, but Di Jun rejected asking their enemy for help, and Bai Ze proposed seeking guidance from the Queen Mother of the West.

• Fuxi told Di Jun and the others that Nuwa had no replicable solution for removing the Jade Rabbit Princesses’ Extreme Yang energy.

• Di Jun refused to involve Li Yun, fearing the Human Race Great Emperor would exploit the Demon Clan’s vulnerability.
• Kunpeng said no one besides Li Yun could resolve the danger, and Bai Ze suggested asking the Queen Mother of the West for guidance.

• Yuanshi Tianzun explained that Huang Long’s inheritance, bloodline transformation, and access to the Dragon Clan’s and Chan Teachings’ destiny had raised his cultivation.
• Huang Long said Li Yun had proposed Attaining Dao through Destiny to Randeng and that he had chosen it because of his unique advantages and limited aptitude.
• Li Yun explained that Attaining Dao through Destiny was relatively safe but had a fixed upper limit, while Zhenwu and Bai Jie felt relieved about their choice to Attain Dao through Law.
• Tai Yi asked whether Attaining Dao through Strength was viable, and Li Yun warned him and Yu Ding that the path carried risks and that its first and final steps were especially difficult.

Yuanshi Tianzun offered the Chan Teachings' disciples a secret Method of Attaining Dao through Law, then gave Li Yun the Yellow Middle Plum and Immortal Apricot to deliver to Laozi. Li Yun left Kunlun Mountain, and Yuanshi Tianzun began preparing to teach his disciples.

• Yuanshi Tianzun promised Yu Ding, Tai Yi, Cihang, and the other disciples a cultivation method for Attaining Dao through Law once they reached Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection, subject to a secrecy Restriction.
• Zhenwu and Bai Jie hesitated over whether to keep cultivating their own races' methods or seek Yuanshi Tianzun's method.

After leaving Yuanshi Tianzun’s palace, Li Yun met Pan Wang outside Kunlun Mountain, who invited him to West Kunlun on Queen Mother of the West’s behalf. Li Yun agreed to meet her while making clear he would not compromise his interests or those of the Human Race and Humanity Dao, then set out with Pan Wang.

• Yuanshi Tianzun announced a sermon, and Li Yun left the Jade Void Palace to focus on perfecting his Chaos Law.
• Pan Wang intercepted Li Yun outside Kunlun Mountain and relayed Queen Mother of the West’s invitation to West Kunlun.
• Li Yun questioned why Queen Mother of the West wanted to see him and suspected she had her own plans.
• Li Yun agreed to go but warned Pan Wang that he would not rashly accept any demands or harm his own interests, the Human Race, or Humanity Dao.
• Pan Wang thanked Li Yun, and the two set out together for West Kunlun.

Li Yun and Pan Wang followed Bai Ze into West Kunlun and learned that the Demon Commander had come to ask the Queen Mother of the West for help. Bai Ze asked whether she knew how to resolve pure yang power existing within a pure yin body without harming the person or depleting their primordial yin.

• Li Yun and Pan Wang saw Bai Ze enter West Kunlun and followed him to discover why the Queen Mother of the West was receiving a Demon Commander.
• The Queen Mother of the West told Li Yun and Pan Wang that she had invited Li Yun because the matter involved sensitive information, not because anyone had threatened her.
• Bai Ze noticed Li Yun and worried that their conflict might interfere with his request for help.
• Li Yun noticed Bai Ze's reaction to the Queen Mother of the West and suspected he admired her.
• Bai Ze asked the Queen Mother of the West for a harmless way to resolve pure yang power within a pure yin body without losing primordial yin.

Queen Mother of the West refused to help Bai Ze resolve the danger threatening the Jade Rabbit Princess, then demanded the Demon Clan's Sun Moon Stars Tree in exchange for information and a solution. Pan Wang explained that the tree contained the Sun Moon Stars Grand Formation and could gather the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

• Bai Ze told Li Yun, Queen Mother of the West, and Pan Wang that the Jade Rabbit Princess faced a hidden danger from Extreme Yang Force entering her body.

• Pan Wang explained that the Sun Moon Stars Tree contained the Sun Moon Stars Grand Formation and could draw in stellar power to strengthen its surroundings.

Queen Mother of the West agreed to share a solution to the Jade Rabbits’ hidden danger in exchange for the Sun Moon Stars Tree, which Di Jun promised to deliver within three thousand years. Her answer shocked Bai Ze, Li Yun, and Pan Wang, and left Bai Ze realizing the deal had succeeded but the solution was useless to the Demon Clan.

• Queen Mother of the West demanded the Sun Moon Stars Tree in exchange for information, and Bai Ze contacted Di Jun to consult him.
• Bai Ze returned and said Di Jun had agreed to deliver the tree to West Kunlun within three thousand years once Queen Mother of the West provided the information.
• Queen Mother of the West explained that each Jade Rabbit would need to live intimately with a man possessing a Pure Yang body for nearly ten thousand years to transfer away the Extreme Yang power.
• Queen Mother of the West said Fuxi knew of someone who had used the method, prompting Bai Ze, Li Yun, and Pan Wang to suspect it involved Nuwa.
• Bai Ze accepted Queen Mother of the West’s answer as true but realized the method was impractical, while the Demon Clan still had to honor its promise to hand over the tree.

Bai Ze left Queen Mother of the West’s palace after learning dangerous information, and she sent Pan Wang away so she could speak privately with Li Yun. She asked Li Yun to recommend her to join the Humanity Dao, fearing that the resurrected Eastern Duke and Hongjun would threaten her.

• Queen Mother of the West said Eastern Duke had been resurrected by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, and feared they would come after her.

Li Yun refused Queen Mother of the West’s request to join Humanity Dao, citing her danger to the Human Race and the uncertainty around her loyalties. Queen Mother of the West gave up on persuading him and said she would visit Laozi at Shouyang Mountain instead.

• Li Yun considered how Hongjun and Heavenly Dao intended to use Eastern Duke to control the Dragon Clan and oppose the Human Race.
• Queen Mother of the West asked Li Yun to help her join Humanity Dao and seek its protection from Eastern Duke.

• Queen Mother of the West tried to persuade Li Yun by offering to rally the female immortals, but he remained unmoved.
• Queen Mother of the West accepted Li Yun’s refusal and said she would visit Laozi at Shouyang Mountain; Li Yun then took his leave.

Li Yun rejected the Queen Mother of the West’s request and left West Kunlun, while Pan Wang stayed behind hoping to grow closer to her. The Queen Mother of the West let him remain outside the Jade Pool, then admitted to someone in a secret chamber that Li Yun had seen through her and was difficult to manipulate.

• Li Yun told Pan Wang that he could not fulfill the Queen Mother of the West’s request, then departed.

The chapter left Laozi poised to advance, with the Dragon Clan and Kirin Clan having helped his cause.

• A dark violet eye rebuked Queen Mother of the West for failing to infiltrate the Humanity Dao or Earthly Dao and gave her one final chance.

Li Yun learned that Laozi had strengthened the Human Race by incorporating Dragon Clan and Kirin Clan origin blood, then warned him that Queen Mother of the West might have hidden motives for joining Humanity Dao. Laozi refused to let her join and explained the terms Candle Dragon and the Kirin Clan had accepted, leaving Li Yun to hear more about the Kirin Clan’s agreement.

Li Yun received the Sea Calming Divine Pearl and stayed at Shouyang Mountain to perfect One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones under Laozi’s protection.

• Li Yun congratulated Laozi on securing the Kirin Clan and questioned whether they should risk interfering with the Dragon Clan.
• Laozi said he wanted to divide the Dragon Clan’s forces and win over Azure Dragon, whose strength could help counter Hongjun’s schemes.
• Laozi gave Li Yun the Sea Calming Divine Pearl, which Qingyun had brought from Candle Dragon as a gift for him.
• Laozi explained that Candle Dragon’s abilities and Li Yun’s status as the Human Race Great Emperor had led the Dragon Clan to seek his favor.
• Li Yun decided to cultivate at Shouyang Mountain and perfect One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones while Laozi stood guard.

Li Yun used Laozi’s power to suppress three restless Innate Spirit Roots, then killed Yellow Middle Plum and obtained its Golden Great Luo Dao Fruit Trait. He equipped the trait and began refining Yellow Middle Plum’s true body.

• Laozi suppressed Yellow Middle Plum, the Immortal Apricot, and the Fusang Tree when they tried to escape.
• Li Yun thanked Laozi, examined the three roots, and chose Yellow Middle Plum as his first target.

• The system awarded Li Yun the Golden Great Luo Dao Fruit Trait, which could produce one Great Luo Dao Fruit every three thousand years.
• Li Yun equipped the trait and began refining Yellow Middle Plum’s true body with One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

Li Yun successfully refined the Yellow Middle Plum into his first avatar, then transferred all his Human Race Destiny to it to form a Core of Destiny. The avatar reached Mid Quasi-Saint Realm, while Li Yun gave up his destiny and prepared to face what came next.

• Laozi suppressed the Immortal Apricot and Fusang Tree while Li Yun refined the Yellow Middle Plum's true body.
• Li Yun severed a fragment of his primordial spirit and merged it with the Yellow Middle Plum, creating a silver-haired avatar at Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection.
• Li Yun transferred all his Human Race Destiny to the avatar, and Laozi agreed to support him despite warning him about abandoning his destiny.
• The avatar condensed a Core of Destiny and rose to Mid Quasi-Saint Realm before its cultivation stopped to protect its potential.

Li Yun learned that his avatar Li Feng had gained immense power and become a Human Dao Saint Candidate after receiving the Human Race Destiny. After recalling Li Feng into his sea of consciousness, Li Yun discovered that the avatar strengthened him as well, and Laozi explained that the other avatars would bring ongoing benefits.

• Li Feng awakened, greeted Li Yun, and revealed that he had reached the Quasi-Saint Middle Stage and gained the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Earth Yellow Spear and the Core of Destiny.
• Li Feng told Li Yun that his connection to Humanity Dao and the Human Race had become unusually close.
• Laozi examined Li Feng and found that Humanity Dao had infused him with its power and made him a Human Dao Saint Candidate who might receive the Human Dao Saint Position at Quasi-Saint Perfection.
• Li Yun accepted the arrangement, told Li Feng to continue on his path, and recalled him into his sea of consciousness.
• Li Yun felt his Magical Power, vital energy, blood, and primordial spirit grow stronger, and Laozi explained that the avatar technique's benefits would continue as the avatars and Li Yun advanced.

Li Yun followed Laozi’s guidance on cultivating One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones and refined the Immortal Apricot into his second clone. He began transferring Human Race faith and incense offerings to the new clone so it could pursue the Divine Path and become a Saint.

• Laozi explained that Li Yun’s three clones could cultivate independently or grant him powerful blessings when brought into his sea of consciousness, and advised him to perfect the technique quickly.
• Li Yun asked the Immortal Apricot to choose its fate, and it agreed to submit in exchange for becoming an Artifact Spirit and potentially a Saint’s Dao-Proofing Item.

• Li Yun completed his second clone, which possessed major-accomplishment wind and lightning laws and Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection cultivation.
• Li Yun began transferring Human Race faith and incense offerings into the new clone so it could pursue the Divine Path without the restrictions affecting Li Feng.

Li Yun’s second avatar, Li Shen, successfully entered the Divine Path by igniting a divine flame with faith and incense power. Li Shen revealed his Divine Path Scepter and new abilities, while Li Yun and Laozi considered how his path could eventually lead to sainthood.

• Li Yun realized Li Shen had reached the Quasi-Saint Early Stage through the Divine Path and explained that his next steps were to condense a divine spark, manifest an altar, and Transform Self into King.
• Laozi praised the Divine Path as a promising way to attain power comparable to a Saint without being controlled like one.
• Li Shen awakened, greeted Laozi, and summoned the Divine Path Scepter, a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with a dormant artifact spirit.
• Li Shen told Li Yun that more refinement could let him condense a divine spark and reach the Quasi-Saint Late Stage, but his remaining faith and incense power would then be largely exhausted.
• Li Shen explained that he had gained the Law of Creation and could create new races, while his Law of Wind and Thunder and a potential World Tree bearing divine path immortal apricots could further strengthen his followers.

Li Yun gave Li Shen control of the Twenty-Four Heavens so he could develop his Creation Power and build a Divine Kingdom. Li Yun then attacked the Fusang Tree, killed its Three-legged Golden Crow divine soul, and obtained the One Body Two Souls trait, whose second soul could greatly increase his combat power but risk possessing him.

• Li Yun praised Li Shen’s Creation Power and let him enter the Twenty-Four Heavens to cultivate and create races.
• Li Shen explained that he could plant his main divine tree and transform the Twenty-Four Heavens into a Divine Kingdom.
• Li Yun gave Li Shen control of the Twenty-Four Heavens and promised to add the Sea Calming Divine Pearls to it when he found them.
• Li Yun confronted the Fusang Tree, broke into its divine soul space, and fought a fiery Three-legged Golden Crow.
• Li Yun killed the Fusang Tree’s Third Golden Crow divine soul and received the One Body Two Souls trait, which could grant tenfold combat power at the risk of possession.

Li Yun equipped the One Body Two Souls Trait and separated its violent second soul, turning it into a demonic Clone through his One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique. Laozi understood the Clone’s origin and praised Li Yun, but Li Yun was left considering what path the Clone should follow.

• Li Yun recognized that One Body Two Souls could strengthen both him and his eventual Clone, then equipped the Trait.
• When the second soul stirred in his sea of consciousness, Li Yun severed it and subdued it before it could attack or possess him.
• Li Yun merged the separated soul into the Fusang Tree’s main body, which began transforming toward an Innate Dao Body while manifesting Demonic Qi.
• Laozi questioned the Clone’s demonic aura, and Li Yun explained that it embodied his dark side and would remain under his control.
• Laozi praised Li Yun and asked what path the demonic Clone should take, leaving Li Yun uncertain about how to proceed.
