• Dijiang attacked Queen Mother of the West with spatial power and followed with Spatial Exile as she tried to defend herself.

As cultivators and Heavenly Dao Saints gathered at the Sea of Blood, the Demon Emperor and Eastern Emperor arrived, while Hong Yun hoped to ask Zhen Yuanzi about joining Earthly Dao.

• Earthly Dao warned Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Minghe that outsiders, including Heavenly Dao Saints, had arrived and said the remaining Saint Seats belonged to the Witch Clan.

• Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi arrived and waited outside the Sea of Blood, despite the danger of entering Earthly Dao's territory.
• Li Yun, Minghe, and Zhen Yuanzi emerged, and their unusual gathering made the Heavenly Dao Saints suspect that Humanity Dao and Earthly Dao might have formed an alliance.

Minghe told the gathered cultivators that Earthly Dao would recruit no more Saints beyond the Witch Clan, then explained that Earthly Dao had invited him because he controlled the Sea of Blood and ruled the Asura Race.

• Jieyin, Zhunti, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Di Jun reacted with shock and envy when they learned Minghe had not offered his Original Primordial Spirit to the Earthly Dao.
• Di Jun wondered whether he and Eastern Emperor Taiyi could have avoided surrendering their spirits if they had refused Hongjun’s invitation, while Taiyi recalled they had had no real choice.

• The cultivators and Ancestor Witches questioned Zhen Yuanzi in disbelief about how he could become an Earthly Dao Saint without surrendering his Original Primordial Spirit.

Zhen Yuanzi explained that offering the Earth Book to the Earthly Dao had won him a Saint Seat without surrendering his Original Primordial Spirit, and that the Earth Emperor Scepter let him draw protection from the Earth Veins. The Earthly Dao summoned Xuanming to discuss the Witch Clan’s Saint Seats, and Ancestor Minghe gave her a token to enter the Sea of Blood.

• Zhen Yuanzi reassured Hong Yun that the Earth Emperor Scepter protected him and revealed that he had offered the Earth Book to the Earthly Dao.
• Zhen Yuanzi explained that the Earth Book had merged with the Earthly Dao and connected him to the Earth Veins, making attackers vulnerable to their backlash and the Earthly Dao’s Karma and Causality.

• Xuanming told Zhujiuyin and the other Ancestor Witches to wait while she went to finalize the Witch Clan’s Saint Seats.
• Ancestor Minghe gave Xuanming a blood-colored Jade Talisman that let her enter the Sea of Blood without restrictions.

Xuanming entered the Sea of Blood to negotiate with the Earthly Dao over the Witch Clan’s Saint Seats, while Li Yun told the gathered cultivators that Humanity Dao’s seats were reserved for Human Race members and Human Teachings disciples. When a cultivator challenged him, Li Yun identified him as a Demonic Cultivator and linked him to Di Jun.

• Xuanming accepted Minghe’s Jade Talisman and entered the Sea of Blood alone to negotiate with the Earthly Dao.
• Li Yun told the gathered cultivators that only Human Race members and Human Teachings disciples could obtain Humanity Dao Saint Seats.
• A gloomy-voiced cultivator asked Li Yun whether he could make an exception, and Li Yun recognized him as Mingyue, a Demonic Cultivator.
• Mingyue revealed Quasi-Saint Perfection cultivation and denied Li Yun’s accusation as the nearby cultivators and Saints reacted in shock.
• Li Yun said Mingyue’s Demonic Path aura could not be hidden from him and turned toward Di Jun, prompting the crowd to wonder whether Di Jun was involved.

Li Yun clarified that he had not accused Di Jun of ordering Mingyue to act, but had suspected Di Jun could identify demonic cultivators through the New God-Slaying Spear. Di Jun exposed Mingyue as a demonic cultivator of the Demon Clan, leaving the assembled cultivators alarmed by his infiltration and attempts to turn them against Li Yun and the Humanity Dao.

• Di Jun angrily denied knowing or recognizing Mingyue, and said he would confront Li Yun openly rather than resort to slander.
• Li Yun clarified that he had not claimed Di Jun knew Mingyue or was behind the matter, then noticed that Eastern Emperor Taiyi had recently fallen into the Demonic Path.
• Li Yun explained that the New God-Slaying Spear contained Demonic Path power that could identify demonic cultivators, and asked whether Di Jun could use it.
• Di Jun summoned the New God-Slaying Spear, detected demonic power in Mingyue, and stabbed him through the shoulder.
• Mingyue's disguise vanished, revealing his demonic appearance and identity as a member of the Demon Clan, prompting the assembled cultivators to rise in alarm.

Minghe exposed Mingyue as a hidden Demon Race member and used the Soul Searching Technique to reveal his past crimes. When a force tried to silence Mingyue, six Saints intervened, and the recovered memory revealed a chilling purple eye.

• Minghe restrained Mingyue, and the gathered cultivators accused him of manipulating them and targeting Li Yun.
• Mingyue claimed Minghe was a demonic cultivator, but Minghe rejected the accusation and began searching his soul.
• Minghe's soul search revealed that Mingyue was an Ancient Era Demon Race cultivator who had concealed his identity and murdered friends, companions, and his Daoist Companion for power.
• Devilish qi surged toward Mingyue's heart to interrupt the memories, but Minghe, Zhen Yuanzi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti destroyed it and protected him.
• The stabilized memory showed a purple eye inside a cave, whose gaze chilled the observers.

After the Eye of the Devilish Dao appeared in Mingyue’s memories, Jieyin and Zhunti fled the Sea of Blood in fear of the threat to Mount Sumeru and the Western Teachings. Li Yun realized the Demonic Path might be a powerful force targeting the Three Daos and considered using Li Mo to infiltrate it as a future contingency.

• Jieyin recognized the Eye of the Devilish Dao and hurriedly left the Sea of Blood with Zhunti.
• Jieyin and Zhunti feared that Demonic Cultivators or members of the Demon Race had infiltrated the Western Teachings or could escape the Devil's Den beneath Mount Sumeru.
• Mingyue’s memories faded, and the gathered cultivators questioned why Jieyin and Zhunti had fled.
• Li Yun concluded that the Demonic Path might be targeting Humanity Dao, Earthly Dao, and Heavenly Dao through him.
• Li Yun considered having Li Mo infiltrate the Demonic Path and wondered whether Demon Ancestor Luohu was still alive.

Li Yun considered using Li Mo to investigate the Devil Dao, while Ancestor Minghe warned the gathering that he would kill any Devil Dao cultivators on his territory. Dijiang revealed that the Queen Mother of the West was a Demon Race cultivator, and Pan Wang left in turmoil after the revelation shattered his faith in her.

• Li Yun asked Li Mo whether he wanted to see the Devil Dao, and Li Mo agreed to investigate it.
• Ancestor Minghe destroyed Mingyue's remains and warned that Devil Dao cultivators were unwelcome in his territory.
• Dijiang arrived and told the gathering that the Queen Mother of the West had entered Witch Clan forbidden grounds seeking Xuanming and an Earthly Dao Saint seat.
• Dijiang revealed that the Queen Mother of the West was a Demon Race cultivator, and Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe confirmed parts of the account.
• Pan Wang refused to believe the revelation and left with his aura in disarray.

Li Yun revealed that the Queen Mother of the West had sought to become a Human Dao Saint before turning to the Earthly Dao, and exposed her ties to the Devil Dao and Demon Race. Di Jun then questioned Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi about their rapid rise to sainthood, and their explanation left him shaken.

• Li Yun told the gathered cultivators that the Queen Mother of the West had approached him and his master, hoping to become a Human Dao Saint, but the Humanity Dao had rejected her.
• The cultivators reacted with anger and shame as they realized the Queen Mother of the West's Devil Dao methods had influenced them, including Yuanshi, Tongtian, Di Jun, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
• Di Jun set aside the Queen Mother of the West's affair and asked Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi whether they had used Hongmeng Purple Qi to become Earthly Dao Saints.
• Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi explained that the Earthly Dao had bestowed its essence power on them, which they refined to attain sainthood without surrendering their primordial spirits.
• Di Jun clenched his fists as their answer confirmed his suspicions and shook him deeply.

After explaining why Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe had become saints, Minghe watched the guests disperse and invited the remaining companions to the Blood God Palace. Li Yun prepared to leave, but Dijiang asked him to go to Pangu Hall to receive the final portion of the Pangu bloodline inheritance.

• Di Jun calmed himself, thanked Minghe for his explanation, and departed with Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
• The cultivators left the Sea of Blood Land, and Zhen Yuanzi announced that he was returning to carry out the Earthly Dao's tasks.
• Hong Yun chose to accompany Zhen Yuanzi to Wuzhuang Temple, with Tongtian's permission.
• Minghe invited Yuanshi, Tongtian, the Eleventh Ancestor Witch, and Li Yun to the Blood God Palace.
• Dijiang invited Li Yun to Pangu Hall to complete the final portion of the Pangu bloodline inheritance, and Li Yun agreed.

Inside the Blood God Palace, Minghe learned that the next Heaven and Earth Tribulation might begin soon and that the Earthly Dao could take the lead. He warned the Ancestor Witches that the Witch Clan might be drawn into the conflict, then offered them Slaughter Law Seeds in exchange for their essence blood.

• Minghe activated the Blood God Palace’s restrictions and asked Yuanshi and Tongtian about the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun, and the coming tribulation.
• Yuanshi and Tongtian admitted they knew little, but said the Heavenly Dao wanted races to become vassals and might target the Dragon Clan and Mysterious Snake lineage.
• Minghe inferred that the Earthly Dao would likely begin the tribulation and that Zhen Yuanzi’s Earth Book was connected to it.
• Zhujiuyin worried that the Witch Clan’s position at Buzhou Mountain would leave it exposed, and Minghe said becoming Earthly Dao Saints could help the Ancestor Witches defend it.
• Minghe asked the Ancestor Witches for a drop of their essence blood and offered Slaughter Law Seeds, which could teach the Slaughter Law to the Witch Clan’s Great Witches.

Minghe traded Slaughter Law Seeds to the Ancestor Witches for their essence blood to strengthen the Asura Race, requesting Xing Tian's essence blood instead of Xuanming's. After the Ancestor Witches left for the Netherworld, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Minghe asked Li Yun what had happened there, and Li Yun began explaining his perilous encounter.

• Dijiang and Zhujiuyin agreed to trade the Ancestor Witches' essence blood for Minghe's Slaughter Law Seeds.
• Minghe explained that he wanted the essence blood to help the Asuras reach Quasi-Saint late-stage battle prowess ahead of a new Heaven and Earth Tribulation.
• Minghe declined Xuanming's essence blood and asked for Xing Tian's instead, and Dijiang agreed to the exchange.
• Xuanming summoned the Ancestor Witches to the Netherworld, where the Earthly Dao had matters to announce.
• Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Minghe asked Li Yun about his sudden advancement and the strange events in the Netherworld, and Li Yun began recounting what had happened.

Li Yun told Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Minghe that Heaven, Earth, and Humanity Dao opposed his path, then reassured them that their threats would ease once Laozi and Xuanming merged with the Dao. He demonstrated his strengthened aura, leaving the three Saints shocked by how close his Primordial Spirit power was to Quasi-Saint Perfection.

• Li Yun recounted how Humanity Dao and Earthly Dao had allied and schemed to force him to abandon Attain Dao through Strength.
• Yuanshi and Tongtian worried that all three Daos could become Li Yun’s enemies, but Li Yun explained that Laozi and Xuanming would soon be able to restrain Humanity Dao and Earthly Dao.
• Tongtian advised Li Yun to return to the Human Race, where his destiny and Twenty-Four Heavens would help protect him, and Li Yun agreed to avoid stirring up trouble until the situation stabilized.
• Minghe asked Li Yun how strong he had become, so Li Yun released his aura and shook the Blood God Palace and the surrounding Sea of Blood.
• Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Minghe sensed that Li Yun’s Primordial Spirit aura rivaled Quasi-Saint Perfection and condemned Hongjun’s Three Corpses method.

Li Yun’s strength impressed the Saints, while the Earthly Dao asked the Ancestor Witches to choose four of their number to become Earthly Dao Saints at the cost of binding their lives to it. The witches hesitated until Houtu declared that she wanted to become one.

• Ancestor Minghe said Li Yun could eventually rival or surpass the Heaven, Earth, and Human Dao, and Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian agreed.
• Li Yun said he was pleased that the Method of Attaining Dao through Strength had lived up to his expectations.
• The Earthly Dao told the Twelve Ancestor Witches that a new tribulation would involve their forces and that four witches could become Earthly Dao Saints by binding part of their original Primordial Spirits to it.
• The Ancestor Witches weighed the danger of the tribulation and the cost of surrendering their life and death to the Earthly Dao, while Xuanming struggled over whether to urge them to agree.
• Houtu stepped forward and declared that she wanted to become an Earthly Dao Saint, saying she felt her fortuitous encounter lay in the Netherworld.

Houtu chose to become an Earthly Dao Saint, believing the Netherworld and Earthly Dao held her final fortuitous encounter. The Ancestor Witches allocated the remaining three Saint quotas, then the Earthly Dao asked Houtu, Xizi, Roushou, and Tian Wu to stay.

• Houtu explained that becoming an Earthly Dao Saint was necessary to seize her fortuitous encounter, and the Ancestor Witches agreed to give her one of the four quotas.
• Houtu declared her choice to the Earthly Dao, which accepted and asked the Ancestor Witches to decide how to allocate the remaining three quotas.
• Dijiang and Zhujiuyin gave up their quotas, and Zhujiuyin proposed that Ancestor Witches whose laws were perfected keep pursuing Attain Dao through Law.
• Xizi chose a quota because he lacked confidence in perfecting his Law of Lightning, and Tian Wu and Roushou took the last two.
• The Ancestor Witches reassured Shebishi that they would protect him, and the Earthly Dao told Houtu, Xizi, Roushou, and Tian Wu to stay while the others left.
