Li Yun decided to let his Demonic Clone cultivate the Demonic Path so he could eventually merge it with himself, and Laozi agreed to help if danger arose. The clone restored the God-Slaying Spear using the Fusang Tree’s origin, though Li Yun discovered that its apparent Pseudo Innate Supreme Treasure aura came from the clone’s amplification rather than a true change in rank.

Li Mo explained that the God-Slaying Spear carried Luohu's incomplete Devil Dao and Slaughter Law inheritance, and Laozi advised him to master the law himself rather than rely on inherited power. Li Yun then wondered whether Di Jun's God-Slaying Spear also held Luohu's inheritance, and the chapter ended as Li Mo began to explain why Di Jun might become a Devilish Dao Saint.

• Li Mo told Li Yun and Laozi that Luohu's inheritance in the God-Slaying Spear had advanced his Slaughter Law and could lead him toward becoming a Devilish Dao Saint.

• The Queen Mother of the West realized Laozi had seen through her and regretted that her scheme had failed.

Queen Mother of the West learned that her charm had disrupted Laozi’s cultivation and helped him perfect the Unfeeling Dao, but she failed to gain a place in the Human Dao. As she tried to leave Shouyang Mountain, Laozi asked her to pay a price for his overlooking her schemes, leaving her uncertain about his demand.

After learning what the bead could do, Li Yun prepared to return to his disciples and attend Da Peng’s Ascension Ceremony to advance Laozi’s plans for the Phoenix Clan and Humanity Dao.

• Laozi demanded that Queen Mother of the West hand over the item she held and stop interfering in Human Race and Humanity Dao affairs.
• Queen Mother of the West gave Laozi the bead and hurriedly left.
• Laozi told Li Yun that the bead was the Pangu Divine Bead, a treasure that could improve cultivation speed and comprehension.

• Guyue and the other two said they understood Li Yun’s duties and were grateful to Xuandu for teaching them cultivation methods and the heritage of Humanity Dao.

Li Yun explained that Guyue, Luochuan, and Luoyang could grow stronger by following paths tied to humanity, then taught the two brothers methods for attaining Dao through faith and incense. Guyue chose to pursue the Law instead, demonstrating her profound mastery as the chapter ended.

• Luochuan's Human and Earth Flowers and Luoyang's Human and Heavenly Flowers reached the twelfth grade, but their remaining flowers could not surpass the ninth grade.

Li Yun advised Luochuan and Luoyang to cultivate Laws to strengthen their Daluo Dao Fruits, and praised their Laws of Light and Darkness. Guyue identified her lack of Heavenly Dimensional Power as the obstacle to perfecting her Heavenly Flower, and Li Yun promised to seek the power beyond the heavens during his upcoming trip to the Solar Star.

Ancestor Minghe weighed the Earthly Dao’s invitation against the risks of becoming its Saint, and Li Yun warned that another Heaven and Earth Tribulation was approaching.
