After Daoist Randeng showed Shennong a video revealing that Jingwei was serving in the Underworld Bureau as Meng Po, Shennong recovered his resolve and summoned the Human Race’s leaders to Fuxi City for an announcement. A hundred years later, a vast crowd of humans and hidden observers from other factions awaited him in the city’s central plaza as he appeared.

In the Underworld, the Yin Spirits learned that Meng Po was formerly Jingwei and watched Shennong find comfort in seeing his daughter again.

• Juliusun and the others concealed their activity from Daoist Randeng as a Five-Colored Divine Deer approached.

• Juliusun, Daoist Tianzun, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun told Daoist Randeng they had spent nearly ten thousand years preparing to capture a Divine Deer and offer it to Venerable Yuanshi.

• Daoist Randeng realized the Divine Deer was his mount, the Sika Deer.

Daoist Randeng rescued his Registered Disciple Lu Guang from Juliusun and the other Chan Sect Immortals, who had mistaken the deer for an offering to their master. After they insulted and threatened him, Randeng decided to complain to the Saint as well and headed for Jade Void Palace, where he discovered a newly built landscape of courtyards outside Qilin Cliff.

• Juliusun, Daoist Tianzun, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun captured and beat the Divine Deer, but Daoist Randeng recognized him as Lu Guang and freed him.
• Daoist Randeng told the Chan Sect Immortals that Lu Guang was his Registered Disciple, but they accused him of lying and trying to steal their offering.
• Lu Guang confirmed that Randeng was his teacher, yet Juliusun mocked Randeng, so Randeng slapped him and Juliusun's group left to report the incident to their master.
• Lu Guang apologized for causing trouble, and Randeng grew angrier at the Chan Sect Immortals and vowed to report them too.
• Daoist Randeng and Lu Guang went to Jade Void Palace at Qilin Cliff, where Randeng was startled to find a vast mountain-and-water courtyard landscape outside.

Daoist Randeng returned to Kunlun Mountains and confronted Venerable Yuanshi over his disciples’ ambush of Lu Guang. Yuanshi punished the three disciples lightly after slapping Randeng, leaving Randeng resentful and feeling that his promised rewards and contributions had been ignored.

• Daoist Randeng arrived at Qilin Cliff with Lu Guang and asked Venerable Yuanshi to receive him.
• Venerable Yuanshi accused Randeng of striking Juliusun, Daoist Tianzun, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, while Randeng explained that they had ambushed and beaten his registered disciple Lu Guang.
• After deducing what had happened, Venerable Yuanshi slapped Randeng and said he should have resolved the dispute without hitting his disciples.
• Venerable Yuanshi ordered White Crane Boy to give Juliusun, Daoist Tianzun, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun one hundred lashes each and send them to Repentance Cliff for a hundred years.
• Daoist Randeng judged the punishment to be lenient and silently vowed to remember the humiliation as Venerable Yuanshi asked whether he was satisfied.

Daoist Randeng returned to Jade Void Palace, where Venerable Yuanshi placated him after publicly humiliating him, then offered pills instead of the promised spiritual treasures. Randeng left for Yuanjue Cave on Spirit Vulture Mountain seething with resentment, and found Bai Shan being pressured by White Cranes to leave for Jade Void Immortal Market.

• Daoist Randeng hid his anger as Venerable Yuanshi declared their grievances settled and warmly chatted with him before the Outer Disciples.

• Randeng asked to return home, and Venerable Yuanshi agreed, promising to discuss the Law of Annihilation with him later.
• Randeng rode the Divine Deer with Lu Guang to Yuanjue Cave on Spirit Vulture Mountain and found White Cranes urging Bai Shan to join them at Jade Void Immortal Market.

Daoist Randeng secretly watched as Divine Crane Immortal and the cranes tried to force Bai Shan to join them and attacked Spirit Vulture Mountain. After Divine Crane Immortal destroyed the mountain’s protective formation with the Forbidden Breaking Cone, Daoist Randeng struck back and crushed his head with the Immeasurable Ruler.

• White Crane Boy’s subordinates tried to recruit Bai Shan, but Bai Shan refused to leave his master’s dojo or betray Daoist Randeng.

• Divine Crane Immortal used the Forbidden Breaking Cone to shatter the formation, damaging Spirit Vulture Mountain and collapsing its spiritual veins.
• Daoist Randeng’s Immeasurable Ruler emerged from the void and crushed Divine Crane Immortal’s head.

Daoist Randeng returned to Spirit Vulture Mountain and helped Bai Shan defeat Xianpeng after an unseen attacker slaughtered the crane forces. The White Crane Boy arrived too late to stop Xianpeng’s death, then left after confronting Daoist Randeng, while Bai Shan wondered why his teacher had let him go.

• An unseen attacker used the Immeasurable Ruler to kill Xianpeng’s immortal cranes as Xianpeng threatened the attacker and blamed Bai Shan.
• Xianpeng charged at Bai Shan, but the Nirvana Evil Wheel crippled him before Daoist Randeng arrived and crushed his body.
• Daoist Randeng told Bai Shan to behead Xianpeng, and Bai Shan killed him despite the White Crane Boy’s warning to stop.
• Daoist Randeng confronted the White Crane Boy over the attack on his dojo, and the White Crane Boy denied responsibility before leaving.
• Bai Shan asked Daoist Randeng why he had not kept the White Crane Boy there.

• Daoist Randeng cultivated in seclusion at Spirit Vulture Mountain and gained insight into the Law of Destruction from the Forbidden Breaking Cone.
• Bai Shan told Daoist Randeng that an envoy had arrived with an invitation to a Heavenly Court banquet, and Randeng met Goddess Yang Le.

• When Daoist Randeng said he would attend if he had time, Goddess Yang Le scolded him and claimed his recent fame as the Human Emperor's Teacher was the only reason she had invited him.

Goddess Yang Le confronted Daoist Randeng over his response to the Heavenly banquet invitation, and he decided to leave Kunlun Mountains and establish a new dojo in the Southern Primordial Wilderness. After settling at Spirit Vulture Mountain, he heard news from a visiting Grand Unity Golden Immortal that enraged him.

• A visiting Grand Unity Golden Immortal told Daoist Randeng some news that made him fly into a furious rage.

Daoist Randeng traveled to the Heavenly Realm for the Peach Immortal Banquet while blaming the Interception Sect for a slanderous video. At the Heavenly Gate, Goddess Yang Le took charge of the entrance and stopped Qingyuan’s group, insisting that even the First Disciple of Intercepting Sect follow her sign-in rules.

• An Innate Divine Being warned Daoist Randeng that Goddess Yang Le’s edited video had sparked widespread condemnation, and Randeng suspected the Interception Sect was amplifying the scandal.

• Goddess Yang Le led female immortals in challenging the Lingxiao Divine Palace guards over who should control the Heavenly Gate, and Taibai Golden Star ordered the guards to yield for the banquet.
• Goddess Yang Le set up a sign-in station and photo area, then stopped Qingyuan’s Interception Sect group and told them they had to sign in as well.

At the Heavenly Gate, Goddess Yang Le demanded Qingyuan check in, then accused him of disrespecting female immortals when he refused. After her insults provoked the Interception Sect disciples, Qingyuan stopped them from attacking and asked whether she meant to bar them from the banquet unless they checked in and apologized.

• Goddess Yang Le told Qingyuan to check in and be photographed, but he led the Interception Sect group past her and entered the Heavenly Gate.
• Yang Le berated Qingyuan and accused him of disrespecting her and female immortals, while nearby immortals filmed the confrontation.
• Qingyuan pointed out that other prominent figures had entered without checking in, leaving Yang Le unable to explain her selective enforcement.
• Yang Le twisted the argument and continued insulting Qingyuan, prompting Wuzhiqi, Six-Eared Macaque, Kong Xuan, and other disciples to threaten the female immortals.
• Qingyuan stopped Kong Xuan from attacking, and Yang Le demanded that the Interception Sect check in, apologize to her, and post a statement online before entering the banquet.

Qingyuan refused to attend the Peach Immortal Banquet after Goddess Yang Le threatened to bar the Interception Sect, and instead invited the Primordial Wilderness to an Immortal Tasting Gathering on Golden Ao Island. Most guests and Heavenly Emperor Haotian’s court followed him away, leaving Yang Le in terror as Qingyuan’s voice reached the banquet in Jade Pool Fairyland.

At the Peach Immortal Banquet, Yaochi Golden Mother celebrated the gathering’s prestige and imagined building a powerful circle that would outshine Lingxiao Divine Palace. Her ambitions were shaken when the First Disciple of the Intercepting Sect announced another grand gathering on Golden Ao Island, and the banquet’s guests ignored her attempt to restore the mood.

• The East Sea Dragon Clan, Jie Sect Disciples, and factions from Heavenly Palace Immortal City helped prepare a grand banquet on Golden Ao Island.
• The banquet lasted a hundred years, attracting countless ancient powers and becoming a celebrated gathering across the Primordial Wilderness.

Over tens of thousands of years, the East Sea Coast Human Race fragmented into rival territories while the Witch-Human Tribes expanded into a major power. The chapter ended as a terrifying figure burst from the southern volcanic ranges, alarming the Primordial Wilderness.

• The Interception Sect's grand banquet enhanced its standing, while Yaochi's maid scandal ruined the Jade Pool Fairyland's reputation and benefited Haotian.
