• Hongjun sentenced Jieyin and Zhunti to assist Houtu in guiding souls through Reincarnation for five thousand yuanhui.

• Purple Cloud appeared in Chaos, and the gathered observers considered the significance of his name and origin.
• Purple Cloud announced that he would strike first and unleashed Purple Cloud Divine Lightning against the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones countered Purple Cloud’s Purple Cloud Divine Lightning with their own Chaos Divine Lightning, but Purple Cloud then summoned a vast Purple Cloud Palace through Supreme Origin Purple Cloud. The Three Pure Ones were left trapped in a difficult position as the watching cultivators tried to work out how to break the divine ability.

• The Three Pure Ones unleashed their Great Purity, Jade Purity, and Supreme Purity Divine Lightning, transforming them into Chaos Divine Lightning that erased Purple Cloud’s attack.
• Purple Cloud acknowledged the Three Pure Ones’ strength and revealed his next technique, Supreme Origin Purple Cloud.
• Purple Cloud drew on the auras of the three thousand Red Dust Guests to manifest a Purple Cloud Palace that engulfed the Three Pure Ones.
• The Three Pure Ones found the divine ability difficult to escape, while the watching cultivators considered ways to break it.

The Three Pure Ones struggled to break Purple Cloud's Supreme Origin Purple Cloud divine ability while the watching cultivators failed one by one. After Zhou Qingqing recalled Kongtong Mountain’s quality of uniting the three teachings, Supreme Pure Laozi summoned it, and the Three Pure Ones shattered Purple Cloud Palace with a single strike.

• Fuxi, Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the other watching cultivators withdrew after failing to break the divine ability, while the Three Pure Ones continued alone.
• Daoist Zhunti claimed that even the Three Pure Ones could not break Purple Cloud Palace, and Zhou Qingqing privately resented his words.
• Zhou Qingqing realized that Kongtong Mountain, Daoism's number one mountain, might counter Purple Cloud Palace because it embodied the three teachings merging as one.
• Supreme Pure Laozi summoned Kongtong Mountain through the Prime Unity Supreme Pure Talisman, and Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Upper Pure Master Tongtian joined their mana with his.
• The Three Pure Ones sent Kongtong Mountain crashing into Purple Cloud Palace and shattered Supreme Origin Purple Cloud's divine ability.

Purple Cloud used the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation to conjure three thousand worlds, overwhelming the Three Pure Ones after Kongtong Mountain failed to counter it. Zhou Qingqing prepared to intervene, believing only another fragment could match it.

• Purple Cloud brought out a fragment of the Creation Jade Disc after Kongtong Mountain shattered his techniques.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi told Heavenly Emperor Di Jun that he had seen the fragment when he attained sainthood and comprehended Taiyi Generates Water.
• Purple Cloud used the aura of the three thousand Red Dust Guests to restore the fragment and unleashed Creation Jade Disc: Three Thousand Worlds.
• The Three Pure Ones attacked the three thousand worlds with their treasures, but their weapons proved ineffective.
• Zhou Qingqing resolved to step in and fight the fragment with another fragment.

Zhou Qingqing refined the Qiankun Cauldron and transformed it back into the Lotus Pod, breaking through to the early stage of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal realm. Empowered by the Three Pure Ones, she entered the battle as their final hope against the Creation Jade Disc.

• The Three Pure Ones prepared to rely on Zhou Qingqing as their final move against the Creation Jade Disc.

Zhou Qingqing tried to awaken a divine ability by drawing on the Three Pure Ones' power, but her first ideas failed before her true form responded to a new insight. As her lotus faced the Creation Jade Disc's three thousand laws, she manifested a power named “Creation of the Three Pure Ones,” leaving its true strength uncertain.

• Zhou Qingqing imagined divine abilities combining the Three Pure Ones' power, while her Masters worried that joining their primordial spirits might produce Pangu's Primordial Spirit.
• Zhou Qingqing calmed herself after none of her envisioned abilities appeared and used the Three Pure Ones' saintly power to sense changes in her body.

• Heavenly Dao Hongjun collected the fragments, dismissed Purple Cloud, and told the Three Pure Ones that they had won.

After the Three Pure Ones and Zhou Qingqing defeated Hongjun’s plan to divide them, Heavenly Dao Hongjun allowed the brothers to remain together but required them to teach their future disciples separately.

• Zhou Qingqing decided that she and her masters should help Houtu resolve the danger posed by the Two Sages of the West.

Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate stopped Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti from entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation until they expelled the foreign power within it. Zhou Qingqing discovered that the power was Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and devised a plan to make the two Saints build an Outer Path Reincarnation under Houtu’s control.

• Zhou Qingqing planned to make Jieyin and Zhunti use the power to establish an Outer Path Reincarnation that Houtu would fully control.

Zhou Qingqing told Lady Houtu how to use the Two Sages of the West to establish Outer Path Reincarnation, then left to find the ferocious beast Hou so Houtu could control it. Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate stayed behind to watch the two saints as Qingqing traveled through the Primordial World.

• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate created a soundproof restriction so Zhou Qingqing could speak privately with Lady Houtu.
• Zhou Qingqing told Lady Houtu that the force expelled by the Two Sages of the West carried Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and could help establish Outer Path Reincarnation.

• On Eastern Kunlun, the Moon-Howling Divine Hound watched the other dogs play and hoped Zhou Qingqing would return soon.

Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti turned the foreign Heavenly Dao power into an Outer Path Reincarnation while Zhou Qingqing used Reincarnation and Creation to evolve the four great Zombie Progenitors. The Western sages saw her creation’s four terrifying phenomena and could barely hide their frustration.

• Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti turned toward Zhou Qingqing and saw four ominous phenomena, then struggled to conceal their urge to stab someone.

• Celestial Master Zi revealed the Four Great Zombie Progenitors, while Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti realized they were suited to the Outer Path Reincarnation.
