• Bai Ze identified Nezha’s destination as Chentang Pass, where Li Jing’s sons Jin Zha and Mu Zha studied under Daoist Burning Lamp, prompting Zhou Qingqing to notice that many expected Jade Void disciples had not joined the lineage.

Daoist Burning Lamp sent Li Jing, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha to confront Nezha, a newly arrived disciple of Taiyi True Person, outside Chentang Pass. After Nezha and the three introduced themselves, they recognized the encounter as a clash between their lineages.

• Daoist Burning Lamp sensed Nezha arrive outside Chentang Pass and decided to use Li Jing and his sons to challenge him.

• Li Jing questioned Nezha’s identity and said outsiders could not enter Chentang Pass.
• Nezha identified himself as Taiyi True Person’s disciple from the Jade Void Lineage, and Li Jing, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha introduced themselves and named Burning Lamp as Li Jing’s master.

• Bai Ze asked Zhou Qingqing about Nezha's connection to Jin Zha and Mu Zha, and she revealed that Nezha had been their younger brother and Li Jing's son in the Reincarnation of the Primordial World.
• Zhou Qingqing predicted that Li Jing would not catch blades barehanded with perfect success and that Nezha would not become a Vajra Barbie, so the battle's outcome would not change.

• Li Jing froze when he saw that Jin Zha and Mu Zha had failed to injure Nezha.

Li Jing used Daoist Burning Lamp’s Vaishravana Heavenly King Method to confront Nezha, but Nezha answered with his Wind Fire Wheels and Fire-Tipped Spear. Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Taiyi True Person watched through a cloud mirror, and the Heavenly Venerate insisted that Nezha should win because Li Jing was no longer his father.

• Li Jing challenged Nezha and used the divine ability Dread, filling the battlefield with wind, thunder, and fear.
• Nezha showed no fear and summoned his Wind Fire Wheels, which overpowered the sound of Li Jing’s wind and thunder.
• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate summoned Taiyi True Person to watch Nezha’s battle on Blue Planet through a cloud mirror.

• Taiyi True Person wondered whether Nezha should defeat Li Jing, who might once have been his father, and Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate told him Nezha should win.

• Daoist Burning Lamp sent the Golden Exquisite Treasure Pagoda down, and it swallowed Nezha despite his attempt to fight back.
• Bai Ze judged that the pagoda could not suppress Nezha because Fairy Qingqing had formed his lotus body using merit water from the Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.

Nezha manifested his three-headed, eight-armed lotus form while trapped beneath the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Sarira Seven-Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, but Li Jing reinforced the pagoda and declared that Nezha could not escape. Daoist Burning Lamp believed Li Jing’s role as Nezha’s father had secured his victory, while Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Taiyi True Person watched from Jade Void Palace.

• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate asked Taiyi True Person whether Nezha could escape the pagoda or needed his help, and Taiyi True Person chose to trust Nezha to overcome the trial.

• Daoist Burning Lamp concluded that Li Jing’s bond with Nezha made the pagoda’s victory inevitable, while urging Nezha to make an effort against his altered destiny.

• Nezha darkened inside the pagoda, alarming Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate, who realized Qingqing’s influence had affected him.
• Nezha announced he would destroy the acquired pagoda, while Li Jing poured more magical power into it.
• Nezha combined the Qiankun Ring and Heaven-Mixing Sash, unleashing a surge of energy that shattered the pagoda.
• Zhou Qingqing hoped her merits would cancel out her faults and concluded that Li Jing had no chance left.

Nezha shattered Li Jing’s pagoda and defeated him, while Daoist Burning Lamp fled rather than intervene. Li Jing, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha were expelled from Blue Planet and then brought before Miro Palace.

• As the three wondered whether they would be placed on the Investiture of the Gods List, an immense power transported them above Miro Palace.

Zhou Qingqing spoke with Li Jing and his sons before they were placed on the Investiture of the Gods List, and Li Jing admitted he had chosen the wrong master. She gave him a Golden Exquisite Pagoda and revealed that she had severed Nezha’s evil affinity with their family, leaving their future relationship for Nezha to decide.

• Li Jing and his sons thanked Zhou Qingqing and said they would speak with Nezha after the Calamity, while Zhou Qingqing left the choice of reconciliation to Nezha.

After Nezha sent Li Jing and his sons onto the Investiture List, the calamity’s conflict shifted as Medicine Master established a Western Sect defense and Xiangliu arrived to oppose him. In the south, Golden Roc set out to watch Daoist Burning Lamp, while Kong Xuan warned him not to underestimate the Quasi-Sage.

• Zhou Qingqing gave Li Jing the Golden Exquisite Pagoda, and Li Jing and his sons ascended the Investiture List together.
• Yang Jian reunited with Yuan Hong and the Mount Mei demons, while his family enjoyed blessings in the Heavenly Court.

• Zhou Qingqing checked Blue Planet’s Calamity and joked that the reunions made Mid-Autumn Festival feel near.
• The Three Pure Ones traveled to the Lunar Star and told the Three Xiao Sisters they would help Xihe and Changxi take the final step toward the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

• The Three Pure Ones summoned Zhou Qingqing and Bai Ze to Three Pure Ones Hall to watch Xihe and Changxi attain the Dao.
• Xihe and Changxi completed their dance and became Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals, and their attainment illuminated the Lunar Star and drew the Primordial World’s attention.
• Wangshu sensed the moonlight in the Nine Nether Realm and, seeing that Xihe and Changxi had advanced faster than she had expected, began to doubt herself.

Zhou Qingqing asked the Three Pure Ones whether they might still contend over the Dao, and they reassured her that the calamity was unfolding without conflict between their lineages. The chapter ended with Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate revealing the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, prompting Tongtian to summon the Six-Soul Banner and Bai Ze to discover that Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasures existed.

• Zhou Qingqing recounted her recent experiences to the Three Pure Ones and shared mooncakes with them and Bai Ze.
• Zhou Qingqing asked whether her masters felt any urge to fight over the Dao, and Supreme Pure Laozi promised to mediate if his brothers clashed.
• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate said he would send Shen Gongbao to find Jiang Ziya and bring them both into the Marquis of the West's camp.
• Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate revealed the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, which Zhou Qingqing recognized as a Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure related to the Six-Soul Banner and the Saint-Falling Pill.
• Upper Pure Master Tongtian summoned the Six-Soul Banner, and Bai Ze stared in surprise at the two Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasures.

Zhou Qingqing learned the powers of the Six-Soul Banner and the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, then hinted that a third Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure could truly kill a Primordial Saint. The Three Pure Ones agreed to deduce the missing treasure, which Zhou Qingqing hoped would help them prepare for Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

• Upper Pure Master Tongtian explained that the Six-Soul Banner could curse up to six named targets to death, even Saints.
• The Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerate explained that the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin could imprison and suppress Saints, and even Heavenly Dao, if they were placed inside it.

• The Supreme Purity Dao Virtue Heavenly Venerate agreed that a third treasure existed and said the Three Pure Ones would deduce it.
• Zhou Qingqing privately hoped the Three Pure Ones would uncover the Saint-Falling Pill so they could prepare if Dao Ancestor Hongjun used it.

After her masters began deducing the Saint-Falling Pill, Zhou Qingqing decided to search for someone who could connect her to the Demon Path and help locate the missing Godslaying Spear. She left Bai Ze to oversee Blue Planet, found Yu Hua on Golden Turtle Island, and summoned him to discuss a matter.

• Zhou Qingqing left Three Pure Ones Hall after asking Bai Ze to keep watch over Blue Planet.
• Zhou Qingqing decided to seek someone connected to the Demon Path and chose to ask Red Cloud about Golden Turtle Island’s strongest disciple.

• Zhou Qingqing asked Red Cloud to bring Yu Hua to her, and he arrived carrying the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade with the Soul-Slaughtering Banner above his head.
• Yu Hua greeted Zhou Qingqing as Ancestor, leaving her feeling old when she noticed that he was taller than her.

Zhou Qingqing took Yu Hua to the Blood God Palace and asked Old Ancestor Minghe to enhance his Soul-Slaughtering Banner and Blood-Transforming Divine Blade. Minghe agreed eagerly, and Zhou Qingqing’s plan hinted at a larger operation involving him and the Demon Path.

• Zhou Qingqing recognized Yu Hua’s cultivation and decided his Soul-Slaughtering Banner and Blood-Transforming Divine Blade needed stronger dark and blood-red qualities.
• Zhou Qingqing took Yu Hua through a Reincarnation passage to the Blood God Palace, where they met Old Ancestor Minghe in an Asura Set.
• Zhou Qingqing offered Minghe a fortunate opportunity, then tasked him with raising the quality of Yu Hua’s two Lingbao to the utmost limit.

• Zhou Qingqing considered bringing Minghe into a major operation and connected the Asura Path to the Demon Path.
