They planned to shelter humans in magical worlds and went to meet the other Saints, where Zhunti questioned Li Yun’s Human Race bloodline and Nuwa’s gift of fortune.

• Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian frowned at Li Yun’s choice to make Humans Direct Disciples and looked to Laozi.

Li Yun used his Human Dao Emperor Eyes to identify talented children and brought eighteen Gold Trait children into the Taiqing Lineage, planning to choose six as Inner Disciples and assign the rest as attendants to Guyue, Luoyang, and Luochuan. The children agreed to go to Kunlun Mountain, while Youchao Shi saw the arrangement as a way to preserve hope for the Human Race.

After Fuxi reported that Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had agreed, Nuwa founded the Demon Cult and invited eligible Demon Clan members to seek admission.

• Li Yun recognized Shouyang Mountain as the likely location of the Kongtong Seal and searched for its aura with his Human Dao Emperor Eyes.
• After three days, Li Yun found the Kongtong Seal’s aura at the foot of the mountain and urged Laozi to go with him.

• Laozi explained that Li Yun needed Earth Force to complete his Earth Flower, and Heibai agreed to guide them.

• Li Yun felt the Earth Flower’s power feed back into his body and focused on cultivating.
• More than thirty Kirin Clan Quasi-Saints arrived and grew hostile toward Laozi, so Heibai identified him as the Saint of Supreme Purity.

• The Kirin Clan Quasi-Saints discussed Li Yun’s Ultimate Dao Fruit and concluded that his ties to the Three Pure Ones made him a valuable ally.

• Laozi looked at the ordinary cave in surprise and wondered whether Ancestor Kirin really lived there.

• Ancestor Kirin emerged in his injured, miniature Kirin form and questioned why Laozi had come to the Kirin Clan.
• Laozi explained that his disciple needed help condensing an Earth Flower and requested a private conversation; Ancestor Kirin ordered Heibai to protect the disciple.

• Laozi hesitated to accept Ancestor Kirin's offspring as his own disciple and explained that the Human Teachings would take no more disciples.

• Ancestor Kirin pledged the Kirin Clan's allegiance to Laozi and promised to carry out his assignments.
