Tai Cang accepted Laozi’s mission to retrieve the Jade Disc of Creation fragment from the Beast Realm in exchange for learning One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. After reaching the Grand Unity realm, he was summoned to help the three teachings face the powerful arrivals at Kunlun Mountains, where the Beast Realm’s inheritance was about to draw many more rivals.

• Cang Du left the Jie Sect group to search in another direction, while Tai Cang flew toward the area where the Grand Unity Golden Immortals had gathered.

Tai Cang reached Shen Ni’s blood-red stone stele, demonstrated his strength, and revealed that it could be opened with a blood sacrifice, triggering a slaughter among the gathered cultivators. As Mu Cang challenged Tai Cang’s right to lead Cang Gate, Tai Cang learned that defeating him could transfer Cang Gate’s fortune to the victor and questioned Xiao Xi’s intentions.
