Zhou Qingqing returned with the Heaven-Piercing Jianmu and Five-Needle Pine, intending to give her three masters equally valuable gifts and preparing to welcome her new junior brothers. As the Three Pure Ones celebrated their growing family, Laozi sensed the Witch-Demon calamity intensifying, and Qingqing’s thoughts revealed that the coming war could force Hongjun to intervene.

• Laozi sensed the calamity aura growing heavier and warned that the Witch Race and Demon Clan might soon fight again.
• Qingqing thought the coming war would bring out the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Formation and its Pangu True Form, compelling Hongjun to appear.

The Three Pure Ones held a lecture on the Dao for Zhou Qingqing, South Pole Immortal, and Duobao, explaining that they had no way to reunite their primordial spirits and would not seek to become Pangu again. Zhou Qingqing wondered whether the Ancestral Witches could be warned against trying to return to Pangu’s path, leaving the Three Pure Ones to reconsider their own narrow view of them.

• Upper Pure Tongtian offered Zhou Qingqing a choice of sword, and she chose the Immortal-Slaying Sword after Jade Pure Yuanshi persuaded her that she should learn one sword canon at a time.
• Supreme Pure Laozi and Jade Pure Yuanshi left to enter seclusion, while Upper Pure Tongtian began teaching Zhou Qingqing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Canon.
• Zhou Qingqing worried that the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation would someday be used against Tongtian's brothers, and Tongtian realized that this had happened in the original course of events.

Zhou Qingqing trained her junior brothers while refining the Merit Golden Lotus, which stabilized her cultivation at the early Daluo Golden Immortal stage. When Tongtian returned from nurturing the Heaven-Piercing Jianmu with a breakthrough to the Supreme Pure Realm, Yuanshi and Laozi broke through to the same realm as well.

• After Tongtian returned to Golden Turtle Island, Zhou Qingqing took charge of teaching and trained Duobao by making him evade the Enlightened Beast and Moon-Howling Divine Hound.
• Zhou Qingqing encouraged South Pole Immortal to cultivate the Great Purity Divine Lightning and Supreme Purity Divine Lightning, and he obediently resumed training.
• After reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, Zhou Qingqing refined the Merit Golden Lotus and condensed a twelve-petaled golden lotus in her primordial spirit, stabilizing her at the early Daluo Golden Immortal stage.
• Zhou Qingqing realized she might need the twelve-petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus to advance further, but she could not condense the final azure lotus herself.
• Tongtian returned from Golden Turtle Island after nurturing the Heaven-Piercing Jianmu and announced that he had entered the Supreme Pure Realm.
• Laozi and Yuanshi broke through to the Supreme Pure Realm soon afterward, leaving Tongtian dumbfounded.

After the Three Masters advanced to the Supreme Purity Realm, Zhou Qingqing practiced the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation with them and rapidly deepened her understanding of the Sword Dao and Formation Dao. The practice ended when they learned the Twelve Ancestral Witches had invaded the Thirty-Three Heavens, prompting them to head to the Three Pure Ones Heaven.

• Zhou Qingqing congratulated the Three Masters on reaching the Supreme Purity Realm and used the Creation Gourd to help South Pole Immortal and Daoist Duobao recover.

Zhou Qingqing confronted the Twelve Ancestral Witches as they attacked the Upper Three Heavens, while Di Jun’s attempt to divert the battle brought her and the Three Pure Ones into the conflict. The chapter ended with the Three Pure Ones declaring that the Upper Three Heavens belonged to their first disciple, silencing the Witch and Demon races.

• The Three Pure Ones linked the swords to their formation and entrusted Zhou Qingqing with wielding Zhuxian.
• Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian infused the formation with their sword intents, and Zhou Qingqing struck Pangu True Form.
• The sword strike shattered Pangu True Form and left the Twelve Ancestral Witches scattered.
• Di Jun refrained from attacking the Witches when Zhou Qingqing turned the Immortal-Slaying Sword toward the Demon Clan.
• The Three Pure Ones wondered whether Hongjun would appear after they had stopped the Witches in his place.

Hongjun arrived to stop the Witch-Demon conflict, decreed that the Demon Clan would govern the heavens and the Witch Race the earth, and forced both sides to accept a ten-thousand-yuanhui truce. After he vanished, Zhou Qingqing urged her three masters to make Di Jun pay for diverting disaster toward their heaven.

• Hongjun appeared before the Three Pure Ones and praised them for protecting the Thirty-Six Heavens.
• Hongjun decreed that the Demon Clan would govern the heavens and the Witch Race the earth, with no further conflict for ten thousand yuanhui.

Zhou Qingqing negotiated compensation from Heavenly Emperor Di Jun on behalf of the Three Pure Ones, asking him to find the Other Shore Flower while hiding its purpose. The Three Pure Ones left with Qingqing for Eastern Kunlun, leaving Di Jun unaware that he had agreed to help them construct Reincarnation.

Zhou Qingqing set out alone for the Witch Race so the Three Pure Ones could meet the Ancestral Witches and address the conflict over the Thirty-Six Heavens. As she arrived at the Witch tribe, the Ancestral Witches recognized her connections to their people, while the Great Witches outside mistook her visit for a challenge.

• Jade Pure Yuanshi collected Three Lights Divine Water in his Willow Pure Dew Vase after Zhou Qingqing offered it to him.
• Zhou Qingqing urged the Three Pure Ones to visit the Twelve Ancestral Witches and discuss the attack on the Upper Three Heavens, but her masters stayed behind and sent her ahead alone.

• The Great Witches recognized Zhou Qingqing from the battle in the Thirty-Three Heavens and surged with fighting intent, assuming she had come alone to cause trouble.

Zhou Qingqing arrived at the Ancestral Witch Tribe and accepted Great Witch Nine Phoenix’s challenge while her three Masters were still late. As their duel continued, Nine Phoenix gained insight into her strength and Dao, but Zhou Qingqing redirected her powerful punch and prepared to end the match.

• Kuafu and the Iron-Eating Beast recognized Zhou Qingqing and decided not to warn the Great Witches, hoping the others would also learn what it was like to lose to her.

• Zhou Qingqing dispelled Nine Phoenix’s icy defense and used Supreme Ultimate techniques to redirect her fist, telling her to step down.

Zhou Qingqing defeated Nine Phoenix and Xiangliu with ease before using her newly comprehended Creation Divine Lightning to trap Xingtian in an endless barrage. The Great Witches watched as the Three Pure Ones observed from hiding, while the Thunder Ancestral Witch and Lightning Ancestral Witch took an interest in her divine ability.

• The Thunder Ancestral Witch and the Lightning Ancestral Witch watched from Pangu Divine Hall and became interested in Zhou Qingqing's lightning ability.

• Yuanshi told the Ancestral Witches that Qingqing had come to demand compensation for their attack on the Upper Three Heavens.
• The Ancestral Witches turned their attention to Qingqing, who thought Yuanshi had revealed their purpose too quickly.

Zhou Qingqing asked the Twelve Ancestral Witches to search for the Godslaying Spear and assigned Zhurong and Gonggong to temporary duties away from one another. Her plan left the Three Pure Ones satisfied, though Zhurong and Gonggong viewed their assignments as opportunities rather than punishments.

• Zhou Qingqing asked the Ancestral Witches to search for the Godslaying Spear, showing them the World-Ending Black Flame as a guide to its aura.
• Zhu Jiuyin invited Zhou Qingqing to name another demand, and she asked that two Ancestral Witches accept punishment on behalf of the others.
• Zhou Qingqing named Zhurong and Gonggong, and Jade Pure Yuanshi explained that he had a minor dispute with them.
• Zhou Qingqing sent Gonggong to help the Dragon Clan manage the Four Seas and sent Zhurong to meet Primal Phoenix at Undying Fire Mountain.
• Zhurong and Gonggong welcomed their assignments as chances to meet powerful opponents.

Tongtian began discussing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and, after hearing Zhou Qingqing’s thoughts, turned to improving the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Formation.

• Zhurong and Gonggong hurriedly left the Pangu Divine Hall to seek out Primal Phoenix and Azure Dragon and explain their past misunderstanding.
• Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches thanked the Three Pure Ones for caring for Houtu, and the group exchanged pleasantries.
• The Three Pure Ones stayed with the Ancestral Witches, and Tongtian began a discussion of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation and the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Formation.
• Zhou Qingqing thought the Witch Race’s formation would become useless when Houtu transformed her body into Reincarnation, and that improving it could help the Witch Race endure.
• Tongtian asked Dijiang what felt wrong when the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Formation was operated, preparing to help improve it.

Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones studied the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Formation, and Tongtian devised improved formations to help the Witch Race pool its strength. The Ancestral Witches welcomed his solution, while the Three Pure Ones still had not raised the matter behind their offer of help.

• Zhou Qingqing studied the Twelve Capital Divine Fiend Formation and imagined showing off her improved formations to her future junior sister.
• Yuanshi resolved to make Qingqing train his future disciples after learning her Nine Bends Yellow River Formation had defeated the Jade Void Twelve Immortals.
• Tongtian, Laozi, and Yuanshi joined the Ancestral Witches in studying the formation after Qingqing's thoughts revealed their future conflict in the Calamity.
• Tongtian deduced two improved formations: the Nine Netherworld Passage Formation, which could gather the Witch Race's strength, and formations that could let individual tribes summon an Ancestral Witch True Form.
• Dijiang thanked Tongtian for the formation insights, but Tongtian replied that the discussion benefited the Three Pure Ones too.

Jade Pure Yuanshi urged the Ancestral Witches to establish an Earthly Court to govern the land, but Dijiang rejected the proposal. Supreme Pure Laozi challenged the Witches to honor Pangu through protecting the world rather than fighting, leaving Dijiang to decide how the clan would respond.

• Jade Pure Yuanshi suggested that the Ancestral Witches establish an Earthly Court during the truce between the Witch and Demon races.
• Dijiang laughed off the proposal, saying the Witches needed only to fight and defeat anyone who opposed them.
• Supreme Pure Laozi condemned the Witches for claiming to revere Pangu while their wars devastated the Primordial World.
• The Ancestral Witches fell silent as they considered Laozi's accusation, while Zhou Qingqing waited for Dijiang to make his decision.

The Three Pure Ones persuaded the Ancestral Witches to establish an Earthly Court, and the Witches began planning how to govern it. Dijiang asked where it should be built, and Supreme Pure Laozi proposed making Pangu Divine Hall its foundation.

• Dijiang agreed that the Ancestral Witches would establish the Earthly Court instead of sparring with the Three Pure Ones.
• Jade Pure Yuanshi recommended that Houtu invite Zhen Yuanzi to help plan the Earthly Court using the Earth Book, and Houtu agreed to visit him.
• Upper Pure Tongtian suggested that the Ancestral Witches use their divine abilities to govern the earth and its natural cycles.
• Dijiang asked where to build the Earthly Court, and Supreme Pure Laozi proposed using Pangu Divine Hall as its foundation.

After the Three Pure Ones suggested the Pangu Divine Hall, the Ancestral Witches settled on it as the place to create the Witch Race, and Zhou Qingqing visited to witness the process. Back at Eastern Kunlun, she received an Other Shore Flower from the Heavenly Court and brought it to Houtu, while Zhen Yuanzi joined the work of constructing the Earthly Court.

• Dijiang accepted the Pangu Divine Hall as the place for creating the Witch Race and thanked the Three Pure Ones for their guidance.
• Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones visited the Pangu Divine Hall and watched the Witch Race being born from the Ancestral Witches' essence blood.

• Zhou Qingqing left the Ancestral Witch tribe after Houtu entered seclusion to deepen her understanding of the Reincarnation Great Dao.
• Fuxi appeared to stop Zhou Qingqing and invited her to Mount Fengqi, explaining that his sister Nuwa wanted to meet her.
• Fuxi told Zhou Qingqing that Supreme Purity had once visited Mount Fengqi and helped turn away Di Jun, who had sought Nuwa to preside over the Heavenly Marriage.
• Nuwa greeted Zhou Qingqing by lifting her into an embrace and asked Fuxi to bring out spirit fruits and spirit wine for their guest.
• Fuxi explained that Supreme Purity had named his breakthrough secret art the Book of Changes, with “Zhou” referring to Zhou Qingqing.

Zhou Qingqing learned that Fuxi had named and advanced his Eight Trigrams through the Book of Changes, while the Three Pure Ones discussed how her influence had altered Fuxi and Nuwa’s fates. Nuwa showed Zhou Qingqing her eight-petal Azure Lotus and asked for her opinion.

• Fuxi explained that Supreme Pure Laozi had named his method the Book of Changes because of Zhou Qingqing’s name, and he described how it had transformed his Eight Trigrams into sixty-four hexagrams.
• Supreme Pure Laozi told Jade Pure Yuanshi and Upper Pure Tongtian that Zhou Qingqing had discovered Fuxi’s breakthrough method, and the Three Pure Ones discussed how she might change Nuwa’s path to sainthood.
• Zhou Qingqing realized Fuxi no longer intended to join the Demon Clan or enter the Calamity, and that he could remain beside Nuwa as her strategist.
• Nuwa told Zhou Qingqing that she had reached the peak of the second realm of Creation and displayed an Azure Lotus with eight petals.
• Nuwa asked Zhou Qingqing what she thought of her Eight-Petal Azure Lotus.

Supreme Pure Laozi left Eastern Kunlun to seek Qingqing on Mount Fengqi, using his search for Nuwa and Great Master Xuandu as a plausible reason. There, Qingqing tested Nuwa’s Eight-Petal Creation Azure Lotus with Creation Divine Lightning, giving Nuwa insight into the offensive potential of her Dao of Creation.

• Supreme Pure Laozi announced that his disciple was about to be born and departed Eastern Kunlun, while Jade Pure Yuanshi and Upper Pure Tongtian later realized he had gone to find Qingqing.
• Supreme Pure Laozi explained that his Human Sovereign Seal had connected him to Nuwa, then traveled to Mount Fengqi, where Fuxi welcomed him.
• Supreme Pure Laozi joined Nuwa and Zhou Qingqing as they prepared to assess Nuwa’s Eight-Petal Azure Lotus.
• Zhou Qingqing struck the Eight-Petal Creation Azure Lotus with Creation Divine Lightning, and Nuwa gained insight into how creation and destruction could combine into an offensive power.

Zhou Qingqing let Nuwa study her Creation Divine Lightning, and Nuwa recreated the ability with far greater power. After unleashing it, Nuwa broke through to the third realm of Creation, leaving Zhou Qingqing and Supreme Pure Laozi surprised by the extent of her growth.

• Zhou Qingqing demonstrated her Creation Divine Lightning and agreed to let Nuwa learn it.
• Nuwa sensed the Chaos Divine Lightning pressure within the ability and resolved to manifest it through her own Creation.
• Nuwa unleashed her Creation Divine Lightning, overwhelming Fuxi until Supreme Pure Laozi helped defend Mount Fengqi.
• Nuwa's aura surged, and she broke through to the third realm of Creation.

After Nuwa reached the third realm of Creation, Zhou Qingqing confirmed that Nuwa had sensed Human Dao, and Supreme Pure Laozi decided to act on that connection. He gave Nuwa the Kongtong Seal, leaving Qingqing uncertain how the gift would affect the future of Human Teaching and the Three Pure Ones.

• Nuwa completed her breakthrough, reaching the third realm of Creation after benefiting from Zhou Qingqing's Creation Divine Lightning.
• At Zhou Qingqing's prompting, Nuwa shared her insights and said she had begun to understand the origin and transformations of all things.
• Zhou Qingqing realized that Nuwa's new insights meant she had sensed Human Dao.
• Supreme Pure Laozi offered Nuwa a spiritual treasure to aid her understanding, then gave her the Kongtong Seal.
• Zhou Qingqing wondered whether Laozi's gift would prevent him from establishing Human Teaching, while Laozi recognized their connection through Human Dao.
