After seeing how Water Blue Star had grown into the Spirit Domain’s thriving core, they arrived at Myriad Scenery Peak to ask Li Wanxing to join them.

Qin, Qing Xu, and Li Wanxing traveled to the Spirit Ruins Battlefield, where a powerful Star Sea Beast tried to stop Qin and Qing Xu. Qin released Creation Dao Resonance, transforming the Lingxu star field and awakening changes deep within the battlefield, leaving Qing Xu stunned to discover his master possessed another Supreme Law.

• Qin took Li Wanxing and Qing Xu from the Spirit Domain to the Star Sea, where an Immortal Lord Star Sea Beast confronted them.
• The Star Sea Beast allowed Li Wanxing to pass but barred Qin and Qing Xu until Li Wanxing argued that Qin had enabled the creatures’ growth with Innate Spiritual Qi.
• The Star Sea Beast demanded more Innate Spiritual Qi in exchange for letting them through, and Qin agreed to grant it a small benefit.
• Qin released Creation Dao Resonance, bringing barren planets back to life and causing Innate Spiritual Qi to form throughout the Lingxu star field.
• The resonance shook the depths of the Spirit Ruins Battlefield and began cleansing its killing aura, while Qing Xu recognized that Qin possessed another Supreme Law.

At the Myriad Spirits Ancestral Court, Qin sensed a familiar aura from a colossal statue and was mistaken by Elder Yao for the Spirit Race’s long-lost Dao Venerable. When Qin touched the statue, it awakened and unleashed a force that began pulling him into its depths.

• Jian Xin led Qin and Li Wanxing through the Sea of Lingxu to the Myriad Spirits Plaza, where they saw a statue revered as the Spirit Race’s benefactor and the teacher of its three lords.
• Qin sensed a familiar Time-Space Dao Resonance from the statue, but its protective power repelled his divine sense.
• Elder Yao arrived, recognized Qin as the Dao Venerable, and blamed Tai Xu’s betrayal and the Spirit Race’s defeat on the events after the Dao Venerable left.
• Elder Yao brought Qin to the statue and pressed his hand against it, causing its Time-Space power to erupt and drag Qin toward its interior.
• The statue awakened fully, manifesting a blurry figure and releasing overwhelming pressure across the Myriad Spirits Ancestral Court and the Sea of Lingxu.

Xuan Qing was cast onto the River of Time and Space, where its origin demanded that he return to Huan Yu World's past and repair the damage threatening all of Chaos. As he traveled upstream, ancient powers recognized him as the Dao Venerable who had nearly overturned Heavenly Prison City, then withdrew rather than risk entanglement with him.

• A spacetime turbulence hurled Xuan Qing out of the passage and onto the River of Time and Space.
• The river's origin warned Xuan Qing that he had to travel into Huan Yu World's past and mend history or the river would flood Chaos and destroy all life.
• Xuan Qing accepted the task, merged his Law of Time and Space with the river's origin, and began walking upstream.
• The ancient powers bound to the river's banks awoke in shock as Xuan Qing traveled against its flow.
• Jin Pangzi recognized Xuan Qing and tried to call to him, while Mo Ya teased Jin Pangzi; both later vanished from the river.
• A powerful figure identified Xuan Qing as the Dao Venerable who had nearly overturned Heavenly Prison City, and the gathered powers withdrew from the river's banks.

Xuan Qing was thrown from the River of Time and Space by the clash inside a Dao Coffin, then drawn into the Vast Universe Great World's ancient past. He discovered that Time and Space Dao Patterns restricted his cultivation to the early stage of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal realm to prevent the past and future from collapsing.

• Xuan Qing learned that exceeding the restriction could shatter the Dao Patterns, collapse time-space, and destroy the future.

Jian Chen and Huan Jin's battle over Spirit Snow Mountain disturbed Xuan Qing's secluded cultivation, and he crushed them beneath overwhelming Primordial Dao Resonance. Xuan Qing then emerged from his hidden Dao Field and approached the two immobilized fighters.

• Jian Chen and Huan Jin clashed with Sword Dao and Illusion Dao Laws, damaging Spirit Snow Mountain and disrupting its Dao Fortune.

• Jian Chen and Huan Jin realized the pressure came from a being beyond their realm and saw Xuan Qing emerge from the mountain's hidden Dao Field.
• Xuan Qing approached the pinned fighters and formed an invisible giant hand of Primordial Dao Resonance above them.

Xuan Qing suppressed Jian Chen and Huan Jin for disturbing his secluded cultivation, but the Creation Dao Rhythm within the restriction helped them deepen their understanding of their respective Laws. Huan Jin repeatedly interrupted Jian Chen with chatter, yet eventually quieted down and joined him in cultivating as their hundred-Kalpa punishment continued.

• Xuan Qing restored the damaged landscape, then suppressed Jian Chen and Huan Jin for a hundred Kalpas after they apologized for disturbing his Dao Field.
• Huan Jin complained to Jian Chen, while Jian Chen discovered that the Creation Dao Rhythm eased his mind and clarified his Sword Dao.
• Jian Chen told Huan Jin to be quiet and cultivate, and Huan Jin found that the Creation Dao Rhythm strengthened his Illusion Dao.
• After a little more than ten Kalpas, Huan Jin woke and interrupted Jian Chen to talk about his progress, prompting Xuan Qing to remark on his chatterbox nature.
• Jian Chen warned Huan Jin that they would part ways if he kept talking, so Huan Jin reluctantly returned to cultivating and tempered his Dao Heart.

Yuan Cang revealed himself as a powerful Dao Ancestor and announced that he would set the universe in order in ten Kalpas, drawing countless beings toward Cang Yuan Mountain. When Jian Chen and Huan Jin’s hundred-Kalpa imprisonment ended, they chose to seek Xuan Qing’s guidance instead, but he ignored their request for an audience.

• Jian Chen chose to seek Xuan Qing as a teacher rather than travel to Cang Yuan Mountain, and Huan Jin agreed with him.
• Jian Chen requested an audience at Xuan Qing’s formation, but Xuan Qing did not respond, so Jian Chen remained determined to wait.

Xuan Qing accepted Jian Chen and Huan Jin as nominal disciples after Time and Space’s guidance showed they were fated to meet him. He gave them treasures and learned that their knowledge of cultivation and Spiritual Treasures came from Cang Yuan Mountain.

• Jian Chen and Huan Jin waited in the snow outside Xuan Qing’s formation, and Xuan Qing opened it after a Karma Line connected them to him.
• Xuan Qing accepted both men as nominal disciples and named them disciples of Azure Nether Palace.
• Huan Jin asked who was Senior Martial Brother, and Xuan Qing revealed he had already accepted three Direct Disciples.
• Xuan Qing gave Jian Chen the Profound Dao Robe and Huan Jin the Nightmare Pearl.
• Jian Chen asked about Innate Spiritual Treasures, and he and Huan Jin explained that Cang Yuan Mountain had passed down their knowledge of cultivation and treasures.

Xuan Qing taught Jian Chen and Huan Jin about Primordial Chaos Great Luo and guided them to condense their own Dao Seeds. With Cang Yuan Mountain about to open, he took the two disciples there to observe Yuan Cang.

• Xuan Qing explained the Dao Seed method and the Method of Severing Three Bodies, and Jian Chen and Huan Jin both chose the more difficult Dao Seed path.

• Jian Chen and Huan Jin thanked Xuan Qing after their breakthroughs, and Huan Jin asked whether they would visit Cang Yuan Mountain.
• Xuan Qing agreed to observe Yuan Cang and transported the three of them to a spot near the gathered living beings outside Cang Yuan Mountain.

Xuan Qing and his disciples watched beings climb Cang Yuan Mountain and enter Yuan Cang’s palace, the Saint Venerable Hall. After concealing his disciples’ auras, Xuan Qing stayed behind as he judged Yuan Cang’s self-proclaimed title and foresaw his eventual calamity.

• Huan Jin asked Xuan Qing about his use of the Law of Space, and Xuan Qing explained how cultivation allowed travel through space.
• Xuan Qing dismissed the mountain’s deadly winds as a barrier that kept weaker beings from reaching the summit.
• Huan Jin identified the ten powerful young climbers, including Mei Yao, Du Chen, Tai Xu, and Xuan Yuan, and Xuan Qing recognized a connection to his Taixu Xuanyuan Sect.
• Du Chen reached the summit first and saw the magnificent palace, which Xuan Qing judged inferior to Hongjun’s Zixiao Palace.
• Xuan Qing led Jian Chen and Huan Jin behind the crowd and concealed their Dao Seed auras as Yuan Cang opened the hall to those with fate to enter.
• The crowd rushed into the Saint Venerable Hall while Xuan Qing and his disciples lingered outside, and Xuan Qing predicted Yuan Cang would eventually face calamity.

Xuan Qing judged Yuan Cang’s Saint Venerable Hall and watched the contenders fight over eight cushions, while Tai Xu was attacked and excluded. Yuan Cang appeared and fixed his gaze on Tai Xu, but did not intervene.

• Xuan Qing entered the Saint Venerable Hall with Jian Chen and Huan Jin and recognized its grandeur as an artificial display rather than a true Dao field.
• Mei Yao tried to sway the contenders, but Ling Cang dispelled her influence, and the ten Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals continued competing for the cushions.
• Wu Wang singled out Tai Xu over his mixed Five Elements Spiritual Root, and Yu Ya struck him from behind; Cang Xu defended Tai Xu and was pressured by the two attackers.
• The other contenders claimed all eight cushions, leaving Tai Xu and Cang Xu standing, while Xuan Qing led Jian Chen and Huan Jin to the last row.
• Yuan Cang appeared with overwhelming Saintly pressure, looked toward Tai Xu, then withdrew his gaze without helping him.

Yuan Cang ignored Cang Xu’s protest over Tai Xu’s humiliation and announced that he would establish cosmic order and teach the cultivation method. As Yuan Cang defined spiritual-root grades, Tai Xu realized his mixed roots would have made cultivation difficult without his innate favor from Heaven and Earth.

• Cang Xu tried to report what had happened to Tai Xu, but Yuan Cang dismissed him and told him to leave Cang Yuan Mountain if he was dissatisfied.
• Cang Xu’s faith in fairness and the Law of Order faltered as he watched Yuan Cang ignore the humiliation.
• Yuan Cang declared that he would establish rules for Heaven and Earth and pass down an orthodox cultivation method; Yu Ya praised him, and the crowd bowed.
• Yu Ya challenged Xuan Qing, Huan Jin, and Jian Chen for not bowing, but Huan Jin argued that Yuan Cang had not yet established order or bestowed any method.
• Yuan Cang explained that spiritual roots determined access to cultivation and divided them into low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade.
• Tai Xu realized his Five-Colored Mixed Spiritual Root would have hindered his cultivation if Heaven and Earth had not granted him the innate cultivation of an Immortal Emperor.
