Di Jun and Taiyi visited Nuwa and Fuxi at Phoenix Nest Mountain to recruit them into their plan to establish the Demon Clan and oppose the Witch Clan. Nuwa and Fuxi agreed to join after learning that Di Jun and Taiyi had secured the Heavenly Court as their foundation, and the four set a ceremony for a thousand years later.

• Di Jun and Taiyi argued that the Witch Clan’s growing power threatened the other living beings of the Primordial Wilderness and proposed uniting them as the Demon Clan.
• Di Jun offered Nuwa the title of Empress Nuwa and Fuxi the title of Emperor Xi, promising them equal standing with him and Taiyi and a share of the Demon Clan’s authority and Destiny and Fortune.

At the banquet, Taiyi provoked the Witch Clan over jointly governing the Primordial Wilderness, but Wu Ming rejected the rivalry without escalating the dispute.

• The Heavenly Dao granted the Demon Clan more merit than the Witch Clan had received, strengthening its leaders and stirring resentment among the Ancestral Witches.
• At the banquet, Taiyi claimed the Witch Clan and Demon Clan would jointly govern the Primordial Wilderness, prompting Zhurong and Gonggong to challenge him.
• Wu Ming calmed Zhurong and told Di Jun that the Witch Clan would fulfill its oath rather than seek joint rule; Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi then urged everyone to keep the peace.

Wu Ming led the Twelve Ancestor Witches away from the Heaven Court and urged them to avoid a premature conflict with the Demon Clan. He persuaded them to focus on fulfilling their oath, accumulating merit, and pursuing the Witch Clan’s own path to proving the Dao.

• Di Jun sent Taiyi to organize the Heaven Court and spread the Demon Clan’s banners throughout the stars within a thousand years.

• The Ancestral Witches accepted Wu Ming’s advice, and he ordered them to restrain their clansmen and work harder to accumulate merit.

East Prince Gong established the Immortal Court, but gained little merit and became a laughingstock, driving powerful experts across the Primordial World to pursue breakthroughs. A thousand years later, many prominent figures became Quasi-Saints, while Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and Houtu broke through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

• Wu Ming praised the three Ancestral Witches and urged the others to cultivate harder.

Hong Yun sensed the opportunity Wu Ming had foretold and brought him and Zhen Yuanzi to Buzhou Mountain, where the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Di Jun, and Taiyi had also gathered. The Innate Grand Array opened to reveal the Innate Gourd Vine and its seven gourds, leaving the powerful figures poised to claim them.

• Hong Yun sensed an opportunity at Buzhou Mountain and told Zhen Yuanzi that Wu Ming had asked him to report it.
• Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi went to Pangu Hall, where Wu Ming said an Innate Spiritual Root bearing several gourds held something important for the Witch Clan.
• Wu Ming left Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and Houtu to manage the Witch Clan and traveled with Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi to a mist-covered valley on Buzhou Mountain.
• Taiqing, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa emerged from the valley, followed by Di Jun and Taiyi, and gathered with Wu Ming and the others before the array.
• The Innate Grand Array dissipated, revealing the Innate Gourd Vine with seven gourds hanging from its branches.

The gathered cultivators claimed six mature gourds from the Innate Gourd Vine, leaving an immature Blue Gourd and the vine for Wu Ming. After Taiyi challenged his claim and was out-argued by Wu Ming, Wu Ming took both treasures and departed for Buzhou Mountain.

• Taiqing, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Hong Yun, and Taiyi each claimed one of the six mature gourds.
• Wu Ming announced that the Witch Clan would take the immature Blue Gourd and the Innate Gourd Vine, and the others tacitly accepted.
• Taiyi challenged Wu Ming's claim, so Wu Ming offered to trade the Blue Gourd and vine for Taiyi's Yellow Gourd; Taiyi refused.
• Di Jun persuaded Taiyi to stand down, and Wu Ming stored the Blue Gourd and the entire Gourd Vine in his palm.
• The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Di Jun, and Taiyi departed, followed by Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi; Wu Ming then flew toward Buzhou Mountain.

Wu Ming and the Twelve Ancestor Witches attended Hongjun’s final preaching, where he explained the Way of Sages and took six disciples.

• Hongjun accepted Jieyin and Zhunti as nominal disciples and bestowed Hongmeng Purple Qi upon them.

Hongjun bestowed the final strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi on Hong Yun, provoking Kunpeng’s murderous hatred, then distributed treasures to his disciples and announced that he would Unify with Dao. The mighty figures left Zixiao Palace to seek treasures at the Treasure Distribution Rock as Hongjun disappeared.

• After Jieyin and Zhunti received Hongmeng Purple Qi, the crowd begged Hongjun for a strand, and he sent the final one circling through Zixiao Palace.
• The final strand entered Hong Yun, while Kunpeng blamed him for taking both the cushion and his chance at the Dao and vowed to fight him to the death.
• Hongjun gave Taiqing the Taiji Diagram, Yuanshi the Pangu Banner, Tongtian the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and their formation diagram, and Nuwa three treasures.

• Hongjun told the remaining attendees to take treasures from the Treasure Distribution Rock, declared that he would Unify with Dao, and vanished from Zixiao Palace.

After Hongjun's lecture, Wu Ming led the Ancestral Witches to Treasure Distribution Rock, where he claimed the cliff itself and exchanged a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with Tongtian for the Twenty-Four Dinghai Divine Pearls for Dijiang. Before returning to Buzhou Mountain, Wu Ming invited Hong Yun to visit him if he made up his mind.

• Wu Ming told Dijiang to reach Treasure Distribution Rock first and obtain the Twenty-Four Dinghai Divine Pearls, but Dijiang found only a few ordinary treasures there.
• The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti collected many treasures, while most others and the Ancestral Witches received few or none.

After losing the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Hong Yun, Kunpeng went to the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court to enlist Di Jun and Taiyi's help in taking revenge. Di Jun appointed him Demon Master, while Kunpeng intended to use the alliance to reclaim what he had lost.

• Kunpeng traveled to the Heavenly Court and demanded an audience with Di Jun and Taiyi.

Hong Yun decided to give Kunpeng the Hongmeng Purple Qi to settle the Karma between them and traveled with Wu Ming and Zhen Yuanzi to the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. Kunpeng confronted them at the Southern Heavenly Gate, where Hong Yun offered him the Purple Qi.

• Hong Yun apologized for the Zixiao Palace cushion dispute and offered Kunpeng the Hongmeng Purple Qi to settle their Karma.

Hong Yun tried to return the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Kunpeng, but found he could not remove it from his body. As Kunpeng moved to attack, Wu Ming proposed that Hong Yun swear an oath to the Great Dao, Pangu, and the Heavenly Dao to prove his sincerity and release the Qi.

• Hong Yun told Kunpeng he would give him the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but could not make it leave his body despite trying to summon it.

• Zhou Ming ordered most of the Ancestral Witches to cultivate toward the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and entrusted the Witch Clan to Wu Ming while he was away.

• Wu Ming said farewell to Zhen Yuanzi and left Wuzhuang Temple.

Over ten thousand years, the Witch Clan strengthened its Ancestral Witches and developed a thirteen-person variation of the Great Array of the Heavenly Gods and Fiends, while Di Jun and Taiyi unified the Demon Clan. Di Jun restrained Taiyi’s push for war against the Witch Clan and focused the Heavenly Court on completing the Great Formation of the Stars.
