• Laozi told Yuanshi Tianzun that Li Yun would retrieve the Yellow Middle Plum and Immortal Apricot from Kunlun Mountain.

• Huang Long told Yuanshi Tianzun that Blood Dragon had subdued the Four Seas Dragon Kings’ faction and threatened the Ancestor Dragon Lineage, whose elders had given Huang Long authority to decide their fate.

Candle Dragon summoned Qingyun and learned that Blood Dragon was Eastern Duke’s reincarnation, acting with Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao to seize control of the Dragon Clan. Candle Dragon recognized that exposing the scheme could provoke a battle the Dragon Clan could not win, and asked whether Qingyun could become Laozi’s disciple; Qingyun said he could instead become Li Yun’s mount.

• Candle Dragon awoke in the Dragon Tomb, sensed the change in the Dragon Clan’s fortune, and ordered Qingyun brought to him.
• Qingyun told Candle Dragon and the gathered true dragons that Blood Dragon was Eastern Duke’s reincarnation and sought to control the Dragon Clan.

• Qingyun confirmed Laozi had revealed the scheme, and Candle Dragon considered the danger of confronting Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
• Candle Dragon asked if Qingyun could become Laozi’s disciple, and Qingyun explained that he could become Li Yun’s mount instead.

Qingyun accepted the chance to become Li Yun’s mount and carry the Sea Calming Divine Pearl to the Human Ancestral Land. Candle Dragon named him young lord of his lineage as part of a plan to secure the Dragon Clan’s future amid the coming conflict between Heaven, Earth, and Human Dao.

• Candle Dragon asked Qingyun whether he would accept the arrangement, and Qingyun agreed, citing its benefits and the dangers of the coming conflict.
• Candle Dragon gave Qingyun the Sea Calming Divine Pearl, which Li Yun needed, and placed his divine sense inside it so he could speak with Laozi and Li Yun.
• Candle Dragon named Qingyun young lord of the Candle Dragon Lineage, and the gathered true dragons bowed to him.
• Qingyun thanked Candle Dragon and left to deliver the pearl and arrange the meeting with Laozi.
• Candle Dragon explained that the Dragon Clan needed to support Humanity Dao because two of its three lineages had aligned with Heavenly Dao, then turned to Ao You and the Nether Dragon Lineage.

Candle Dragon agreed to have the Nether Dragon Lineage contact the Earthly Dao, while Li Yun warned Huang Long about the dangers facing the Dragon Clan and prepared to collect two treasures from Kunlun Mountain. After Yuanshi Tianzun took Li Yun and the others to Kunlun, Qingyun returned to Laozi with Candle Dragon’s message.

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. Xi He revealed that the rabbits were congenitally deficient because of the Extreme Yang power within them, and the chapter ended with everyone turning to Nuwa for help.

• Laozi assured Candle Dragon that his promises were genuine and explained that he sought to grow Humanity Dao so he could eventually take revenge on Hongjun.
• Candle Dragon agreed to prepare and send the Dragon Clan’s bloodline origin to Laozi.
• Di Jun and the others returned to the Lunar Star and celebrated Xi He’s birth of the Ten Jade Rabbits.
• Xi He told Di Jun and the others that Extreme Yang power had left the Jade Rabbits frail and limited their future cultivation.
• Di Jun asked Nuwa to resolve the rabbits’ condition, and Nuwa reluctantly considered her painful past experience.

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.
• Nuwa said a cultivator of the Cai Bu Technique could absorb the energy, but Eastern Emperor Taiyi warned that the method could ruin the Ten Jade Rabbits.
• Kunpeng proposed that Li Yun could draw out the energy without harming the princesses because of his powerful 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.

Di Jun tasked Bai Ze with seeking the Queen Mother of the West’s help, promising to accept any terms if she had a solution. At Kunlun Mountain, Yu Ding and the others discovered that Zhenwu, Bai Jie, and Huang Long had become Quasi-Saints.

• Di Jun told Bai Ze to negotiate with the Queen Mother of the West and refuse nothing if she could help.
• Bai Ze left the Lunar Star for West Kunlun, while Nuwa, Fuxi, and the others departed as well.
• Li Yun accompanied Yuanshi Tianzun to the Jade Void Palace, where Yu Ding and the others noticed that Zhenwu, Bai Jie, and Huang Long had surpassed the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
• Yuanshi Tianzun ordered Randeng to bring the Yellow Middle Plum and the Immortal Apricot to the palace.
• Zhenwu, Bai Jie, and Huang Long said they had advanced to the Quasi-Saint realm through a Fortuitous Encounter.

Huang Long revealed that he had reached the Quasi-Saint Realm by inheriting the Ancestor Dragon’s power and following the path of Attaining Dao through Destiny, a method Li Yun had introduced. Li Yun explained the limits and risks of different paths and began warning Tai Yi and Yu Ding against pursuing Attaining Dao through Strength.

• Yu Ding and the others learned Huang Long had reached the Quasi-Saint Realm and asked how he had advanced so quickly.
• 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.

• 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.
