After the Heavenly Marriage, Qing Ya, Qing Ling, and Nuwa left the Heavenly Court, while Di Jiang questioned Ran Deng about who remained. Learning that the Demon Clan was alone there, Di Jiang planned to gather the Witch Clan and attack Di Jun.

• Zhu Jiuyin pulled Ran Deng from the sky, and Di Jiang questioned him about the guests who had left.
• Ran Deng confirmed that Haotian and Qing Ya were gone, so Di Jiang decided to gather the Witch Clan and strike the Demon Clan.

• Zhu Jiuyin and Fuxi secretly agreed to fight without taking the battle seriously, while Kunpeng showed little force against Ju Mang and did not use a Spiritual Treasure.

The Witch Clan and Demon Clan fought across the Heavenly Court and the Primordial Land, with the Demon Clan suffering heavy losses. Di Jun unleashed the Zhou Tian Stars Great Formation, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches answered by summoning the giant Pangu.

• The Three Pure Ones were shaken by Pangu’s appearance, while Xuan Qing noticed Pangu glance toward Azure Nether Island and was kicked into a lake after speaking about him.
• Pangu summoned the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner from Laozi and Yuanshi, but a barrier stopped the treasures from leaving the Great Hall.

After the Witch Clan withdrew, Fuxi revealed that the Demon Clan could strengthen the Zhou Tian Stars Great Formation by adding its missing formation eyes.

News of Han Xi’s power spread across the Prehistoric Era, inspiring a surge in cultivation and attracting the attention of an old man in the North Sea.

• Tai Yi regretted that Zi Wei had died and could no longer serve as an eye of the Zhou Tian Stars Great Formation, while Di Jun noted that the formation would not have appeared if Zi Wei had survived.
• The Eleven Ancestral Witches beat Zhu Rong for cursing Hongjun, then Di Jiang led them to Zhou Mountain to thank Han Xi for protecting them.
• Qing Ling teased the Ancestral Witches before Han Xi welcomed them into Azure Dawn Palace, where she reprimanded Zhu Rong and warned the group that she would not help if they provoked a Saint again.
• Houtu realized Han Xi wanted the Ancestral Witches to leave, and she led them away from Azure Dawn Palace.
• Han Xi’s reputation as a second Saint spread throughout the Prehistoric Era, prompting a cultivation frenzy as an old man in the North Sea turned his attention toward the news.

North Sea Mysterious Tortoise learned that Han Xi had attained the Dao and sought Xuan Qing’s guidance to find a breakthrough of his own. Jade Bead agreed to take him to Xuan Qing’s Dao Field, and Mystic Turtle searched for a suitable gift before discovering a mysterious boulder he had once encountered in the East Sea.

• Mystic Turtle envied Han Xi and Xuan Qing for attaining the Dao and asked Xuan Wu about visiting Xuan Qing.

• Kong Xuan overheard the conversation about Xuan Qing's influence and wondered whether he had become the follower of a Saint.

Qing Qiong brought Kong Xuan, Mystic Turtle, and Jade Bead to Azure Nether Island, where its powerful residents and immense treasures humbled Kong Xuan. After Xuan Qing offered a favor for information about Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Roots, Kong Xuan mentioned the Phoenix Clan’s Wutong Tree, and Qing Qiong promised to ask his Master about it.

• Qing Qiong introduced Kong Xuan to Mystic Turtle and Jade Bead, who discussed the Phoenix Clan’s fallen glory and warned that its karmic sin made Kong Xuan’s fate difficult.

• Qing Qiong led Mystic Turtle, Jade Bead, and Kong Xuan to Lakeheart Island, where they saw Xuan Qing fishing beside three Twelve-Grade Lotus Platforms.
• Xuan Qing greeted his guests warmly, brewed tea from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and stopped Qing Qiong from giving Kong Xuan a cup that could kill him.

• Xuan Qing offered Mystic Turtle a tea leaf, then sent Qing Qiong and Kong Xuan away before asking Mystic Turtle why he had come.
• Mystic Turtle asked how to advance his World Law, and Xuan Qing opened a spatial passage and took him to inspect the Mysterious Water Great World.

Xuan Qing investigated why Mystic Turtle’s laws had advanced while the Mysterious Water Great World remained unchanged, and learned that Heavenly Dao had never recognized the world. He returned to Mystic Turtle and told him to remove the formation around it so it could be exposed to Heavenly Dao.

• Xuan Qing examined the Mysterious Water Great World and asked Mystic Turtle how his laws had advanced.
• Xuan Qing entered the world’s Origin with Mystic Turtle, but the immature world consciousness could not explain why it had not improved.
• Xuan Qing questioned the Netherworld Sea of Blood, which revealed that the world lacked Heavenly Dao’s recognition and the mark of the Prehistoric Era.
• Xuan Qing asked how the world could gain recognition, and the Blood Sea suggested that he ask Heavenly Dao before ejecting him from its Origin Space.
• Xuan Qing returned to Mystic Turtle and told him to remove the formation surrounding the Mysterious Water Great World, and Mystic Turtle withdrew it.

Xuan Qing stopped beings from approaching Mystic Turtle’s newly revealed Mysterious Water Great World and summoned the Heavenly Dao to discuss its merger into the Prehistoric Era. The Heavenly Dao explained how Mystic Turtle could still pursue Primordial Chaos Great Luo, and Xuan Qing offered him a World Tree fruit as the means to do so.

• Xuan Qing sent the Grand Luo Golden Immortals away from Mystic Turtle’s world, and they guarded the surrounding routes to turn back other approaching beings.
• Xuan Qing called the Heavenly Dao, which appeared and agreed that the Mysterious Water Great World could merge into the Prehistoric Era.
• Xuan Qing asked whether Mystic Turtle could attain Primordial Chaos Great Luo, and the Heavenly Dao said he could only become a Saint unless he used a World Fruit to open an inner world.
• Mystic Turtle worried that he could not find a World Fruit, so Xuan Qing offered him a fruit from the World Tree beside the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

Mystic Turtle relinquished the Mysterious Water Great World, which merged into the Prehistoric Era as the Mysterious Water Divine Continent, and received merit and authority over it. He appointed several Grand Luo Golden Immortals to manage the continent and sent some to learn from Xuan Qing’s Azure Nether Sea Domain.

Mystic Turtle used a World Fruit to cultivate an inner world and successfully attained Primordial Chaos Great Luo, revealing the World Proving Dao Method to Xuan Qing. The method’s risks became clear as Qing Qiong and Jade Bead wondered whether they should have followed it instead.

• Xuan Qing gave Mystic Turtle a World Fruit, which shattered his heart and consumed his Origin as it transformed into a world seed.
• The fruit pit absorbed Mystic Turtle’s Origin and burst, opening a new world inside his body while Xuan Qing watched and comprehended its Dao resonance.
• The world grew and received the guidance of the World Great Dao, allowing Mystic Turtle’s aura and life force to recover until he attained Primordial Chaos Great Luo.

• Qing Qiong and Jade Bead questioned their choice to cultivate the Method of Severing Three Bodies, but Xuan Qing reminded them that Mystic Turtle’s breakthrough had been dangerous.

Mystic Turtle celebrated his breakthrough with Xuan Qing and presented him with a stone carrying the power of the Return to Void. When the stone broke apart, a spearhead matching the God-Slaying Spear emerged, and the two weapons began fighting as Xuan Qing realized the spearhead bore an ancient aura older than the Prehistoric Era.

• Xuan Qing summoned his own God-Slaying Spear, and the spearhead and weapon broke free of his hands and fought in the sky.
• Xuan Qing shielded Azure Nether Island from the spreading Destruction Qi and sensed that the spearhead had existed longer than the Prehistoric Era.

Xuan Qing’s God-Slaying Spear devoured a mysterious spearhead and gained an illusory Chaos Restriction, strengthening his suspicion that the Prehistoric Era was not truly newly born. He realized the spear might need to find the other half of its body in the Return to Void, a place he was reluctant to enter.

• Qing Ling returned with Qing Ya, Jade Bead, and the Mystic Turtle, then told Qing Qiong about Di Jun’s wedding and the battle between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.
• Qing Ya learned from Jade Bead why Xuan Qing’s two God-Slaying Spears were fighting, and everyone watched the incomplete spearhead lose ground.
• The God-Slaying Spear pierced the spearhead and devoured its Origin until the spearhead vanished, causing the spear’s aura to surge.
• Xuan Qing discovered that the God-Slaying Spear had gained an illusory Chaos Restriction and concluded it might need the other half of its body from the Return to Void to advance further.
• Xuan Qing thanked the Mystic Turtle for bringing him the spearhead, and Qing Ling urged everyone to celebrate at the Heart Nurturing Hall.

Xuan Qing welcomed Mystic Turtle and Jade Bead to Azure Nether Island, where he discussed comfort and cultivation before Qing Qiong brought Kong Xuan to meet him.
