He noticed that the Ten Jade Rabbits were Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s offspring, not his own, as the chapter ended.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi told Xi He that he wanted nine Golden Crows and nine Jade Rabbits to enter the Demon Dao, while one of each would remain to inherit the Solar Star and Lunar Star.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi decided to bring Di E to the Primordial World so she could seek a suitable partner among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, while Di Jun arranged for Demon Race descendants to enter the Demon Dao for safety. Meanwhile, Li Yun reached the newly opened border between the Human Race and the Witch Clan and realized the Witch Clan had gained another powerful fighter.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi persuaded Di Jun that Li Yun would consider a marriage alliance with Di E for the sake of the Human Race, and Di E agreed to go but insisted on choosing someone she liked.

• Li Yun followed an Ancestor Witch to the border between Witch Clan and Human Race territory as a branch range of Buzhou Mountain collapsed and opened a passage.
• Li Yun saw that the territories had become connected and concluded that the Witch Clan had gained another top-tier combatant.

• Xing Tian thanked Li Yun after the Ancestor Witches approved his elevation to Witch Emperor, and Li Yun asked that the Witch and Human Clans’ integration remain unobstructed.

• Li Yun said the Human Race would not forget the Demon Race’s actions but would not blame the younger generation for them.
• Li Yun explained that he could not choose a Five Emperor for Di E and that the Human Race’s empresses could not come from the Demon Race.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi asked Li Yun to give Di E a chance to unite with a member of the Human Race, but Li Yun refused because the past conflict could not be set aside. Di E then proposed entering the Human Race and marrying one of the Five Emperors, while Li Yun questioned whether beauty alone would earn her a place.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi explained Di E’s potential and the benefits that a union with the Human Race could bring, while Dijiang and Xuanming worried about the consequences for the Witch Clan.

• Di E asked to enter the Human Race so she could marry one of the Five Emperors, and Li Yun challenged her assumption that beauty would be enough.

• Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and the other Ancestor Witches promised not to harm Di E as long as she did not attack the Witch Clan.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi gave Dijiang a jade talisman locating a dangerous valley rich in space and time powers, and Dijiang and Zhujiuyin decided to investigate it for a chance to grow stronger. Di E settled into the valley, while in the Outer Chaos the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords began to fracture, threatening Tongtian with a severe backlash.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi gave Dijiang a jade talisman containing the coordinates of a forbidden valley saturated with space and time powers.
• Dijiang and Zhujiuyin judged that the valley could offer them a chance to advance and decided to investigate it, leaving the other Ancestor Witches and Li Yun behind.

• In the Outer Chaos, the support provided by the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords began to crack as Tongtian's formation neared collapse.
• Nuwa and the others anticipated that the formation's failure would inflict a grave backlash on Tongtian and might sharply reduce his cultivation.

Sect Master Tongtian risked everything to absorb the Slaughter Qi and reach Saint Extreme, while Yuanshi Tianzun and Li Xuan stood ready to help if he failed. After his breakthrough, Tongtian recalled the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords and continued growing stronger.

• Sect Master Tongtian left the damaged Dharma body, gathered spiritual energy, and continued strengthening his Dao aura with emerging Dao patterns.

• Yuanshi realized Tongtian might restore his Primordial Spirit without reclaiming the portion held by the Heavenly Dao, leaving Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa shocked and envious.

Sect Master Tongtian repaired and transformed his primordial spirit, freeing himself from the Heavenly Dao’s control while remaining within its order. He created Lingbao Tianzun as a Second Primordial Spirit to take his place as a restricted Heavenly Dao Saint, while Yuanshi entered the Small Primordial World to comprehend Tongtian’s Dharma Body.

• Minghe explained that only the Three Pure Ones could replicate Tongtian’s method because his Pangu Primordial Spirit had evolved into a new existence.

Tongtian agreed to bring Li Yun from the Primordial World so Li Xuan could attempt to free his main body from the Heavenly Dao's control. Meanwhile, the Witch Clan's Combat Tournament ended, and Li Yun arrived at Pangu Hall to meet Xuanming and the gathered Witch Clan members.

• Tongtian's fellow Saints congratulated him after he explained that his Second Primordial Spirit had taken his place and freed him from the Heavenly Dao's control.
• Li Xuan asked whether his main body could attempt the same process, and Tongtian volunteered to return to the Primordial World and bring Li Yun.

• The Witch Clan completed its choices and Combat Tournament, and a Great Witch escorted Li Yun to Pangu Hall.
• Li Yun saw the assembled Witch Clan members and asked Xuanming whether they were ready.

Li Yun opened four Great Thousand Worlds in the Thirty-Six Heavens so Xuanming could relocate the Witch Clan there, where Li Shen provided food and shelter. He explained that future generations could form an independent Witch Clan and might develop primordial spirits, leaving Xuanming with hope for the clan’s transformation.

• Li Yun opened entrances to four Great Thousand Worlds and explained to Xuanming that the Witch Clan could later move into new worlds as its population grew.
• Xuanming directed the Witch Clan members to enter through four orderly lines, while Li Yun asked Li Shen to arrange their settlement.
• Li Shen transformed streams of blood into enormous, fleshy beasts, and the arriving Witch Clan members thanked him for providing their livelihood.
• Xuanming asked whether moving to the Thirty-Six Heavens would change the Witch Clan, and Li Yun explained that they would become his subjects but escape the dangers of the Primordial World.
• Li Yun told Xuanming that later generations might develop primordial spirits because the Thirty-Six Heavens lacked innate turbid qi, and she recognized the prospect of a transformed Witch Clan.

Li Yun and Xuanming finished arranging for Witch Clan members to pursue Innate Primordial Spirits, but their farewell was interrupted by Tongtian’s arrival. Tongtian revealed that he had broken free from Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao’s control, and Li Yun asked why he had come seeking him.

• Xuanming agreed to Li Yun’s plan and hoped the Witch Clan could produce beings with Innate Primordial Spirits.
• After the Witch Clan members entered the Thirty-Six Heavens, Li Yun closed its entrance.
• Xuanming sensed an intruder and shielded herself and Li Yun, but her freezing attack shattered against the newcomer’s power.

Sect Master Tongtian invited Li Yun to Chaos so he could practice holding up the heavens and standing upon the earth in a Small Primordial World, preparing to Attain Dao through Strength. Xuanming joined them, and the group arrived to find Li Xuan and the others waiting.

• Sect Master Tongtian explained to Li Yun that the Small Primordial World could help him experience holding up the heavens and standing upon the earth.
• Li Yun accepted Tongtian's invitation after deciding the opportunity outweighed the danger of entering Chaos.
• Xuanming asked to join them so she could experience what Father God Pangu had felt, and Li Yun persuaded Tongtian to let her come.
• Li Yun, Xuanming, and Sect Master Tongtian entered the Space Tunnel and emerged in Chaos.
• Nuwa and the others were surprised to see Xuanming arrive, while Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi hurried to greet her.

Xuanming joined Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi as they waited outside the Small Primordial World and saw how much it had grown. A spirit of heaven and earth appeared inside, and Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti failed to capture it when it absorbed their attacks.

• Xuanming asked Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi how much they had gained, and both said they had not entered the Small Primordial World.
• Xuanming observed that the Small Primordial World had grown vast and powerful enough to let cultivators advance another step.
