• The Lord of Desire-Color unleashed its ultimate attack, but Xu Yang endured the annihilation of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires until the demon's palace collapsed.
• Golden Mother Yuanjun announced the demon's defeat and flight to the Demon Abyss, then Xu Yang, Golden Mother Yuanjun, and the Sun Star Lord went to reinforce the other Profound Yellow Divine Saints.

The Profound Yellow sages defeated the Great Brahma Heaven Demon and launched their final assault on the Myriad Demon Abyss as Tongtian Tower’s territories merged into a restored world. Moro Pāramita finally appeared on the Primordial Spirit Black Lotus, but Xu Yang realized the figure was not his true body.

• Moro Pāramita appeared seated on the Black Lotus, but Xu Yang recognized that the figure was not his true body.

The Profound Yellow Nine Sages fought Papiyas for more than a hundred years before the Three Buddhas and Three Pure Ones each unleashed a Golden Immortal-level strike. Mara and Papiyas were destroyed, but the battle left the Profound Yellow side gravely depleted; a golden figure then appeared seated upon an Imperial Carriage.

• The Shangqing Dao Master, Maitreya, Xu Yang, and the other saints joined forces against Papiyas, who held off their attacks with the Primordial Spirit Black Lotus.
• After more than a hundred years of battle, the Earthly Immortals sustaining the Dao legacy fruits neared their limits, so Maitreya united with Dipankara and Shakyamuni to summon Great Brahma.

• The Three Pure Ones manifested Pangu, who cleaved the Six Desires Demonic Fetus and annihilated Mara, Papiyas, and the Black Lotus Demon Abyss.
• The Shangqing Dao Master's Qingping sword was destroyed, one Earthly Immortal inheriting Yuan Shi's legacy fruit died, and only six of the Profound Yellow Nine Sages remained.
• Golden Mother Yuanjun, Great Emperor Fengdu, and the Four Seas Dragon Lords moved toward the battlefield, where a golden figure appeared seated upon an Imperial Carriage.

After the Immortal-Demon Great War, the Heavenly Emperor restored the fallen Immortals and Buddhas and granted divine positions to those who had earned merit. He named Xu Yang the Supreme Dao Master, leaving him among the Profound Yellow Nine Sages as the tribulation was declared over.

• The Heavenly Emperor declared the tribulation ended and proclaimed that tribulation lay in Heaven, yet Heaven existed even without Heaven.

Xu Yang asked Heavenly Emperor Qiong Gao to help save Blue Star from Papiyas, but learned Qiong Gao had exhausted his Golden Immortal power restoring Profound Yellow. Qiong Gao promised to help once his realm recovered and warned Xu Yang of the Great Calamity of the Heavens.

• Xu Yang visited Qiong Gao and explained that the Desire Realm had invaded Blue Star, where Papiyas had disguised himself as a Golden Immortal Magic Fruit and demonic corruption might have tainted the Three-Phases God and other Dao masters.
• Qiong Gao revealed that Mara's power had weakened after he split off Golden Immortal power and sent it away as the Magic Fruit, giving Qiong Gao an opening to counterattack in Profound Yellow.
• Qiong Gao said he could not help Xu Yang immediately because the long war and rebuilding Profound Yellow had depleted his Golden Immortal power, leaving him only an ordinary Heavenly Immortal beyond his realm.
• Qiong Gao promised to aid Xu Yang once Profound Yellow recovered, then stopped him to ask whether he had heard of the Great Calamity of the Heavens.

Skyvault explained to Xu Yang that the Great Calamity of the Heavens would return Chaos after twelve cosmic cycles, and that Mara was racing to regain Golden Immortal power before it arrived. Back in Taiqing Great Red Heaven, Xu Yang opened his Attribute Panel and discovered two new traits.

• Skyvault told Xu Yang that Golden Immortals had left the myriad worlds to evade the Great Calamity and ascend to the Great Luo Realm.
• Skyvault estimated that the calamity was approaching and warned that Mara would focus his remaining Golden Immortal power on the Blue Star Realm.
• Skyvault urged Xu Yang to strike before Mara united with the Trimurti or find a way to obtain Golden Immortal power, but Xu Yang saw no clear path forward.
• Xu Yang thanked Skyvault, left the Heavenly Palace, and returned to Taiqing Great Red Heaven.
• Xu Yang opened his Attribute Panel in the Myriad Dao Palace and saw two new golden trait entries appear.

Xu Yang gained two powerful Dao Law World traits and decided to address the urgent dangers in the Blue Star and Taixuan realms before returning to other worlds. In Taixuan, You Su Yu rescued fleeing members of the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty and learned that their dynasty had been annihilated.

• Xu Yang learned that the Way of the Supreme Elder greatly enhanced his cultivation and methods, while Myriad Laws Return to Origin could make it possible for him to perform Three Pure Ones Return to Origin alone.
• Xu Yang weighed the dangers across his worlds, deciding that the threats in the Blue Star and Taixuan realms could not wait, while he could postpone action in Dao Law World.
• More than a thousand years into Taixuan’s turmoil, an eighth-tribulation bandit intercepted King Fufeng and others fleeing toward the Dao Domain.
• You Su Yu defeated and captured the bandit, then freed King Fufeng and his companions.
• King Fufeng bowed to You Su Yu and revealed that the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty had been annihilated.

After the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty was destroyed, You Su Yu brought King Fufeng and the surviving Tianyu Bloodline into the Myriad Dao Domain, where they learned the Academy’s rules for shelter and cave abodes. The survivors faced a choice between free but exposed lodgings and safer residences they could not afford without Myriad Dao Points, and King Fufeng asked for time to discuss their options.

• King Fufeng told You Su Yu that the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty had fallen, the Tianyu Emperor had died, and the Tianyu Bell had been lost, then begged the Academy to shelter the survivors.
• You Su Yu accepted the Tianyu Bloodline under the Dao Lord’s decree, warned them that demons and heretical cultivators would be punished, and led them into a Five Directions City.
• An Academy youth registered the Tianyu refugees and explained that low-grade cave abodes were free, while safer mid-grade and high-grade residences required spirit stones or Myriad Dao Points.
• The Tianyu people discovered they lacked enough Myriad Dao Points to obtain the residences they wanted, and the youth listed service, crafting, knowledge, and treasure exchanges as ways to earn points.
• King Fufeng asked the youth to let the Tianyu people discuss their choices in a Quiet Room.

King Fufeng traded the Tianyu Clan’s treasures and inheritance for a secure home near Myriad Dao City, while Bamboo Immortal revealed he had joined the Myriad Dao Academy amid growing fears about the Dark Turmoil. A sudden thunderclap interrupted the gathering of the three immortals.

• King Fufeng decided to exchange the Tianyu Clan’s imperial scripture, secret arts, and treasures for Myriad Dao Points so the clan could settle in a superior cave abode or medium-grade Dao field.
• King Fufeng purchased a residence near Myriad Dao City and encountered Bai Yang Jun, Bei Ming Fellow Daoist, and others seeking homes in the crowded Dao Domain.
• Plum Immortal, Orchid Immortal, and Bamboo Immortal discussed the worsening Dark Turmoil, the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty’s destruction, and concerns that the Dao Domain’s growth could attract disaster.
• Bamboo Immortal told Plum Immortal and Orchid Immortal that he had joined the academy and would guard Five Directions City in three months, urging them to commit to the academy as well.
• Thunder roared and shook Heaven and Earth before Plum Immortal could respond.

As rumors of the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty’s destruction spread through Myriad Dao City, Xu Yang began his Tribulation of Proving the Dao. He broke the Five Elements and Yin-Yang trials, then recognized the impossible Chaos Divine Lightning as interference from the fallen Heavenly Immortal Dao Master and prepared to answer it with his own method.

• Ye Xiaofan and others discussed the Dark Turmoil and the public’s call for the Dao Domain to halt its expansion after the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty fell.
• A massive Heavenly Tribulation appeared over Myriad Dao City, and observers across the Divine Continent recognized it as the Tribulation of Proving the Dao.
• Xu Yang entered the tribulation and shattered the Innate Five Elements Divine Lightning with his Five-Colored Divine Light.
• Xu Yang broke the Two Forms Divine Lightning by matching its Yin-Yang power, leaving the watching immortals stunned.
• The tribulation formed Chaos Divine Lightning carrying a trace of the Power of Harmonizing Dao, and Xu Yang concluded that the fallen Heavenly Immortal Dao Master had interfered with it.
• Xu Yang smiled and invoked Nine Ceremonies Three Talents, Supreme Elder Opens Dao.

Xu Yang survived the eighty-onefold Chaos Divine Lightning and proved the Dao, then founded the Human Sect and proclaimed a doctrine that allowed all righteous cultivators to attain the Human Dao regardless of race. The Profound Sect’s immortals feared he would challenge the three great cults, but Zhang Dongting accepted that heaven had recognized Xu Yang’s new sect and let him proceed.

• Xu Yang used the Way of the Supreme Elder and Myriad Laws Return to Origin to surpass the Earth Immortal limit and defeat the Chaos Divine Lightning, proving the Dao as a Great Emperor.
• Xu Yang declared the founding of the Human Sect and taught that all beings who followed the righteous path could attain the fruit of humanity.
• Xu Yang made the Nine Ceremonies Sacred Sword the Human Sect’s Merit Treasure and invited all living beings to hear him expound the Dao from a palace in the sky.
• The Taixuan immortals at Dragon Tiger Mountain accused Xu Yang of threatening the fortune of the Profound Sect, Agama Temple, and Imperial Academy, then asked Zhang Dongting how they should respond.
• Zhang Dongting said heaven’s will could not be opposed, and the Taixuan immortals agreed to let Xu Yang proceed because his strength exceeded the usual limit of Earth Immortals.

After Xu Yang established the Human Sect and survived the Root of Calamity’s interference with his tribulation, people across the Dao Domain rallied around the academy. Xu Yang assessed his new merit and his wounded enemy’s condition, and considered striking while the Root of Calamity was weakened.

• Ye Xiaofan and others left Myriad Dao City as its people praised Xu Yang and the newly established Human Sect.
• Bamboo Immortal urged Lords Mei and Lan to join the academy, warning that the Root of Calamity threatened all living beings; Plum Immortal agreed to pledge himself, and the brothers planned to recruit their friends.
• Xu Yang sent an incarnation to preach at the academy while his true body returned to consolidate his cultivation and assess his gains.
• Xu Yang concluded that establishing the Human Sect had earned him merit and fortune that could strengthen him as he carried out its doctrine.
• Xu Yang identified the Root of Calamity as a wounded Heavenly Immortal with auxiliary Golden Immortal power, whose failed interference with his tribulation had likely triggered backlash.
• Xu Yang considered taking advantage of the Root of Calamity’s weakened condition to kill him.

Xu Yang prepared Myriad Dao Academy to investigate the Divine Continent’s forbidden zones and fight the Root of Turmoil, while the Academy summoned cultivators from the Four Regions to hear the Dao and join the campaign. The Sword Nun first agreed to help, then abruptly ordered Jing Nian Nunnery sealed before an unknown visitor confronted her.

• Xu Yang resolved to investigate the forbidden zones and use the Human Sect’s resources and his transformed Xuan Yuan to confront the Root of Turmoil.
• The Sword Nun received the Academy’s invitation to the Divine Continent and learned that cultivators from the Northern Region, including the Heaven-Piercing Great Sage, were mobilizing.
• The Sword Nun decided Jing Nian Nunnery should join the campaign to protect all living beings.
• The Sword Nun suddenly changed her mind and ordered Jing Nian Nunnery to seal its mountain and close its gates.
• An unknown person appeared in Manjushri Hall and condemned the Brahma Gate’s conduct, shocking the Sword Nun.

Xu Yang captured Manjushri and dozens of upper-realm Immortals, then learned from the Earth Immortals’ memories about the Nether Venerable’s fall and the threat of his return. He asked his captives to help him oppose the Nether Venerable and offered the Gray-Clothed Old Ape a chance to have his restriction removed.

• Sword Nun tried to escape Jing Nian Nunnery as a Manjushri Wisdom Sword, but Xu Yang trapped and captured her with Universe in Sleeve.
• Sword Nun recognized Xu Yang as her patriarch and ordered the nuns to depart for Divine Continent.
• Months later, Xu Yang brought Manjushri and dozens of captured upper-realm Immortals to the True Martial Hall and soul-searched the Earth Immortals.
• Xu Yang learned that the Nether Venerable had been a rising Heavenly Immortal who was defeated by the five great teachings, and that the upper realm planned to eliminate him if he returned.
• Xu Yang told the captives he intended to oppose the Nether Venerable and asked them to help, then asked the Gray-Clothed Old Ape whether he wanted his restriction removed.

Xu Yang secured the upper-realm immortals’ allegiance by freeing the old ape, binding the others with restrictions, and destroying a resisting Earth Immortal’s Dao weapon. After preaching the Dao for a thousand years, he learned the Dark Turmoil had ended five hundred years earlier and ordered his followers to march against the Six Paths.

• The old ape pledged himself to Xu Yang, who removed the restrictions on his body and Primordial Spirit.
• Over half the True Immortals and Manjushri’s Brahma Gate followed the old ape in pledging allegiance, while the other immortals eventually accepted Xu Yang’s restrictions.
• A Demon Cult Earth Immortal resisted, so Xu Yang destroyed his incarnation and seven-story bronze ancient tower, frightening the remaining immortals into submission.
• Xu Yang promised to restore the immortals’ freedom if they rendered merit in the coming battle, then went to Kirin Hall to preach the Dao.
• After a thousand years of preaching, Xu Yang’s followers discovered that the Dark Turmoil had ended five hundred years earlier.
• Xu Yang issued an Imperial Decree ordering his followers to march against the Six Paths and cut down the root of calamity.

Xu Yang mobilized the Myriad Dao Academy to attack the Six Paths Forbidden Zone, despite the wider world’s fear and reluctance to join another war. The Academy launched its first assault against the Hell Path, where its forces uncovered a terrifying Ancient True Dragon corpse.

• Xu Yang dismissed the unaffiliated guests and cultivators from Myriad Dao City, then ordered the Academy to prepare for war against the Forbidden Zones.
• The Myriad Dao Academy activated its forces, while excluded guest elders and outsiders reacted with regret or alarm and withdrew.
• Xu Yang recognized that the Nether Cult's Supreme had ended the turmoil to weaken the Human Sect, but resolved to fight using the Academy and its Dao followers.
• The Academy’s Heavenly Palace and warships entered the Six Paths Forbidden Zone and struck the Hell Path with immortal light, formations, and heavenly lightning.
• The assault exposed walking corpses and an Ancient True Dragon corpse, and Great Brahma’s wisdom sword descended upon the dragon.
