Chapter Summaries

After Luo Qing became known as the First Quasi-Sage of the Primordial, the Three Pure Ones and Jieyin and Zhunti dismissed his achievement because they believed the Primordial Violet Qi would let them attain sainthood. Luo Qing studied the Ancestral Witch Method of Proving the Dao and glimpsed a future path that combined seeking the Dao within with grasping the Great Dao of the Primordial Wilderness.

• Yuanshi, Laozi, and Tongtian discussed Luo Qing's reputation, resolved not to share their insights from the Primordial Violet Qi, and pitied his prospects of attaining sainthood.
• Jieyin and Zhunti likewise dismissed Luo Qing's current glory, while other Quasi-Sages reassessed his strength and Di Jun and Tai Yi continued setting aside their grievances with him.
• The demon clan expanded across the Primordial Wilderness but left Kunlun Mountain untouched, making the region increasingly sought after by immortal and divine cultivators.
• Luo Qing learned of his new title, dismissed it as insufficient, and studied the Ancestral Witch Method of Proving the Dao for his disciple Huang Ting and his own understanding.
• After several hundred years, Luo Qing concluded that the method traded freedom beyond the Primordial World for greater strength within it, and he glimpsed a cultivation path combining inner and outer Dao.

Luo Qing resumed cultivating in seclusion while the Witch Clan settled in the Northern Domain and rebuilt its strength. After two hundred thousand years, Luo Qing left the Hua Tian World because his incarnation Luo Xuan was preparing to attain Quasi-Sagehood.

• Luo Qing focused on expanding the Hua Tian Great Thousand World and perfecting his Inner Self while leaving Kunlun Mountain's affairs to his disciples.
• Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches recovered, then chose to strengthen the Witch Clan in the Northern Domain instead of immediately seeking revenge.
• The Ancestral Witches established twelve tribes, and the Witch Clan rapidly grew stronger in its new homeland.
• Di Jun planned to marry Chang Xi and make her Heavenly Empress, using the ceremony to expand Heavenly Court authority and unite its Sun and Moon factions.
• After two hundred thousand years of seclusion, Luo Qing left the Hua Tian World because Luo Xuan was preparing to prove the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm and attain Quasi-Sagehood.

Luo Xuan broke through to the Quasi-Sage realm on Hua Tian Peak, unleashing a terrifying Netherworld aura across Kunlun Mountain. Luo Qing announced that Luo Xuan would lecture on the Dao in a thousand years, while the Three Pure Ones wondered about the strange power behind his breakthrough.

• Luo Qing came to Hua Tian Peak as Luo Xuan began breaking through, and his disciples gathered to pay their respects.
• The news of Luo Xuan's impending breakthrough spread through Kunlun Mountain, drawing the attention of its Immortals and Gods and alarming the Three Pure Ones.
• Fairy Xihua told Bai Hua to prepare for her own breakthrough after Luo Xuan succeeded.
• After nearly half a year of Dao Resonance, Luo Xuan broke through and released a vast Netherworld aura that terrified Kunlun Mountain's Immortals and Gods.
• Luo Qing announced that Luo Xuan would lecture on the Dao in a thousand years, then sealed the Netherworld Qi inside the secluded chamber.
• Laozi and Yuanshi speculated that Luo Xuan's foundation and Great Dao caused the unsettling phenomenon, while Luo Qing and his disciples recovered from its effects.

Luo Qing worried that Luo Xuan’s future role in restricting the immortals’ lifespans would bring resentment upon Hua Tian Peak, so he prepared for the danger while continuing to develop the Hua Tian World. He revived the Creation Green Lotus to strengthen his lineage, leaving the Pure World White Lotus as the only legendary lotus he had not obtained.

• Luo Qing feared that Luo Xuan’s rise as Netherworld Lord would eventually bring the resentment of countless immortals and gods upon Hua Tian Peak, and he assigned Long Ling to lead preparations for the mountain-opening sermon with Shu Dao Ren assisting.
• Luo Qing declined Di Jun’s invitation to the Heavenly Marriage with Chang Xi and told Yan Sheng to send the Heavenly Court a congratulatory gift instead.
• Luo Qing examined the growing Hua Tian Great Thousand World and estimated that it would reach its limit after five or six Kalpa Cycles, while he aimed to attain the Dao before the Second Witch-Demon War.
• Luo Qing removed the seals on the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus and sent it into the Origin Ocean to revive and grow.
• Luo Qing studied the revived lotus and considered how the five legendary lotuses could protect Hua Tian Peak from the resentment to come, noting that only the Pure World White Lotus remained beyond his reach.

Luo Qing studied the four Innate Lotuses and forged a Glazed Lotus Seed designed to feed on resentment and filth. He sent it into the Hua Tian Yin Realm to nurture it, seeing the resentment and faith of living beings as future resources for his Hunyuan Dao cultivation.

• Luo Qing examined the Creation Green Lotus and summoned the Karma Fire Red Lotus, Merit Golden Lotus, and World-Destroying Black Lotus to study their powers.
• Luo Xuan opened Hua Tian Peak after a thousand years and preached to millions of immortals and gods for three thousand years.
• Luo Qing used Origin Power from the four Innate Lotuses to create a Glazed Lotus Seed that could absorb resentment, filth, hatred, and baleful thoughts.
• Luo Qing tossed the lotus seed into the Hua Tian Yin Realm so its Resentful Sha Power could nourish the seed and make it sprout.

Di Jun used his wedding to Chang Xi to consolidate his control over the Heavenly Court while Fairy Zi Guang gave up her authority over the Star Sea and sought refuge with Luo Qing. The chapter ended with Zi Guang arriving at Hua Tian Peak as Taiyi returned with Chang Xi.

• Di Jun sent Taiyi and the Demon Saints to escort Chang Xi from the Lunar Star while he and Fuxi remained in the Heavenly Court.
• Di Jun sealed the Heavenly Court, promoted his allies, and transferred Kunpeng's followers away from its core, seizing control of its forces.
• Fairy Zi Guang saw the demon clan taking over the Star Sea and decided to seek refuge with Luo Qing so she could reclaim it someday.
• Luo Qing accepted Zi Guang's approach and instructed Long Ling to bring her to the Jade Pool, where Xihua could receive her.
• Taiyi and the Demon Saints returned to the Heavenly Court with Chang Xi as Zi Guang arrived at Hua Tian Peak.

Fairy Zi Guang arrived at Luo Qing’s mountain and stayed in the Jade Pool with Fairy Xihua, while Di Jun used the Heavenly Court’s marriage celebration to assert control over the Demon Clan. The Demon Saints yielded after a month of negotiations, and the Demon Clan’s power grew as the Witch Clan recovered.

• Long Ling welcomed Fairy Zi Guang and guided her to the Jade Pool, where Fairy Xihua hosted her and secretly let her cultivate.
• Di Jun and Chang Xi’s Heavenly Marriage received Heavenly Dao Merit, while Nuwa and Fuxi stood with Di Jun in the Heavenly Court’s dispute with the Demon Saints.
• Taiyi, Nuwa, and Fuxi revealed Mid Quasi-Sage cultivation, and Di Jun revealed that he had reached the Late Quasi-Sage realm, overwhelming Kunpeng and the other Demon Saints.
• Bai Ze urged the Demon Saints to negotiate, and after a month they yielded to Di Jun’s centralization of power in exchange for benefits, including access to Heavenly Court Fortune.
• The Demon Clan’s Fortune and prestige rose as the Witch Clan rapidly recovered and strengthened in the Northern Domain.

Nuwa explained that she had helped Di Jun centralize the Heavenly Court so she could draw on its Fortune and pursue sainthood, while Fuxi resolved to support her. As the Demon Clan strengthened and Houtu's Witch Clan gained control over ghosts in the Northern Domain, Luo Xuan realized that Houtu's early connection to the Netherworld had made her a rival on his path to attaining the Dao.

• Nuwa told Fuxi she planned to use the Demon Clan's and Heavenly Court's Fortune to reach Peak Quasi-Sage and become the Second Saint of Heaven and Earth.
• Fuxi deduced that Hongjun Dao Ancestor had reserved the path to sainthood for Nuwa and the six others she named, then pledged to help Nuwa and Di Jun.
• Di Jun consolidated his authority, and the Heavenly Court grew stronger as it recruited the Demon Clan's elites and prodigies.
• Houtu's Witch Clan expanded across the Northern Domain, capturing ghosts and Ghost Deities and using them to strengthen its forces.
• Luo Xuan realized that Houtu's early contact with Netherworld Beings had changed the course of events and could bring her into conflict with him over attaining the Dao.

Luo Qing entered complete seclusion to strengthen his cultivation and prepared the Hua Tian Yin Realm to produce more ghosts and gods. Five kalpa cycles later, Bai Hua Fairy had become a Quasi-Sage, and Huang Ting began breaking through to the same realm.

• Luo Qing worried Houtu might become a rival for attaining the Dao, ordered Huang Ting to manage the Netherworld Grotto-Heaven and expand its ghosts and gods, then devoted himself to cultivation.
• As Luo Qing secluded himself, the Demon Clan expanded its influence, the Witch Clan secretly gathered strength, and powerful figures across the Primordial World turned to secluded cultivation.
• Bai Hua Fairy used the Method of One Yuan Perfection to evolve a ten-kalpa inner self world and attained the Quasi-Sage realm, giving the Jade Pool two Quasi-Sages.
• Luo Qing emerged from the Hua Tian Origin Land and poured the world’s origin energy into the Hua Tian Immortal Realm as his disciple Huang Ting began a Quasi-Sage breakthrough on the Five-Colored Divine Mountain.

Huang Ting reached the Quasi-Sage Realm by developing an Inner Self World corresponding to the One Yuan Count, and Luo Qing taught him the next steps in cultivation. After Huang Ting promised to prepare to inherit the Netherworld Great Dao from Luo Xuan, Luo Qing surveyed the lineages and worried about Yan Sheng’s stalled cultivation.

• Huang Ting emerged from seclusion after breaking through to the Quasi-Sage Realm and thanked Luo Qing for guarding him.
• Huang Ting told Luo Qing that he had successfully developed an Inner Self World corresponding to the One Yuan Count, and Luo Qing praised him and taught him Quasi-Sage cultivation for several years.
• Luo Qing told Huang Ting to keep cultivating the Netherworld Path because Luo Xuan would abandon it one day, and Huang Ting promised to prepare to take over.
• Luo Qing instructed Huang Ting to conceal his Quasi-Sage cultivation and remain in the Hua Tian World unless outside business required him to leave.
• Luo Qing checked on the lineages and learned that Kong Xuan had reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Realm while Yan Sheng remained stuck at the Peak Taiyi bottleneck.
• Luo Qing worried that Yan Sheng’s stalled cultivation would wear down his will and vitality.

Luo Qing summoned Yan Sheng and spoke with him about his stalled cultivation and feelings toward his more successful junior disciples. He offered Yan Sheng a choice between waiting for a future opportunity and having his Foundation improved now, warning that the latter would make Quasi-Sainthood attainable but leave little hope of Attaining Sainthood.

• Luo Qing reflected on Yan Sheng’s lack of progress while Long Ling, Huang Ting, and Kong Xuan advanced, then decided Yan Sheng should choose his own path.
• Yan Sheng hurried back to Hua Tian Peak from a Kunlun gathering and sat down with Luo Qing to play Dao Chess.
• Luo Qing examined Yan Sheng’s condition and asked whether he resented Luo Qing for helping Long Ling improve her Foundation.
• Yan Sheng denied resenting Luo Qing but admitted through his words and silence that he felt the gap between himself and his junior disciples.
• Luo Qing told Yan Sheng he could wait for a future opportunity or have his Foundation improved now, and warned that the immediate choice offered slim hope of Attaining Sainthood.

Yan Sheng chose to wait for the future opportunity Luo Qing promised him, then Luo Qing returned to seclusion for another five Kalpa Cycles as the Demon Race rose to dominate much of the Primordial World. After Luo Qing emerged again, Fairy Xihua told Fairy Zi Guang that she could finally visit him.

• Luo Qing promised Yan Sheng that waiting would lead him to the Quasi-Sage realm and put the Great Dao of Sainthood within reach, so Yan Sheng chose the first path and left Hua Tian World filled with confidence.
• Luo Qing returned to Hua Tian Origin Land in secret, and another five Kalpa Cycles passed without outsiders learning that Hua Tian Peak had gained a Quasi-Sage disciple.
• The Demon Race's Heavenly Court grew to include four Late Quasi-Sage Demon Emperors, three Mid Quasi-Sages, and ten Early Quasi-Sage Demon Saints, and its power spread across the Primordial Great Land and Four Seas.
• The Dragon Race ceded half the waters of the Four Seas to the Demon Race, while Fairy Zi Guang remained a guest in Fairy Xihua's Jade Pool for ten Kalpa Cycles and worried about her stalled cultivation.
• Fairy Zi Guang asked when Luo Qing would emerge from seclusion, and Fairy Xihua noticed that he had just emerged and told her the timing was fortunate.

After fusing his final Inner Self, Luo Qing reached Peak Quasi-Sage and realized that Primordial Violet Qi was the only thing keeping him from Sainthood. He delayed the Hua Tian World's ascension to avoid drawing the attention of the Primordial World and Hongjun Dao Ancestor, then emerged from seclusion and went to meet Fairy Xihua.

• Luo Qing extinguished his final Inner Self, fused all his Inner Selves with his Outer Self, and fully mastered his Peak Quasi-Sage Fire Spirit Great Dao.
• Luo Qing tried to cross the Saint path but found he needed Primordial Violet Qi to reach Sainthood.
• Luo Qing decided not to trigger the Hua Tian World's ascension, fearing it would attract powerful figures and Hongjun Dao Ancestor.
• Luo Qing left the Origin Ocean, suppressed his cultivation to Late Quasi-Sage, and met with his three Direct Disciples after another five Kalpa Cycles had passed.
• Luo Qing received a message from Fairy Xihua and went to the Jade Pool, deciding he had kept Zi Guang waiting long enough.

Luo Qing offered to shelter the surviving Innate Star Gods in Hua Tian World and recreate Origin Stars to help them cultivate. After Zi Guang left to gather them, Luo Qing revealed to Fairy Xihua that he planned to fill the world’s sky with stars, the sun, and the moon.

• Zi Guang welcomed Luo Qing at the Jade Pool, where he explained that he would not immediately oppose the Demon Clan over the Star Sea.
• Luo Qing asked Zi Guang about the Star God Lineage, and she told him that only a little over three thousand Innate Star Gods remained, most of them Golden Immortals.
• Luo Qing offered to protect the Star Gods at Hua Tian Peak and recreate Origin Stars in Hua Tian World, and Zi Guang accepted his help.
• Zi Guang departed to gather the scattered Innate Star Gods after discussing the Demon Clan with Luo Qing.
• Fairy Xihua asked why Luo Qing wanted to take in the Star Gods, and he pointed out that Hua Tian World’s sky lacked stars, the sun, and the moon.

After reuniting with Fairy Xihua, Luo Qing learned that she planned to have her clone Bai Hua bear offspring to pursue the Dao Mother's path. He urged Fairy Xihua not to rush and declared that they would revisit the issue after he attained Sainthood.

• Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua reunited beneath the Moon Laurel Tree after ten kalpas and walked together to Three Lights Divine Lake.
• Fairy Xihua told Luo Qing she planned for Bai Hua to bear offspring and complete the Dao Mother's path before returning to her Main Body.
• Luo Qing worried that bearing many powerful offspring would deplete Bai Hua's reserves, weaken her aid to Fairy Xihua, and leave their children with sacrificed talent.
• Fairy Xihua explained that Bai Hua's limited talent and divided Fortune had slowed her cultivation, and she feared falling behind Luo Qing and other Innate Sacred Beings.
• Luo Qing told Fairy Xihua not to hurry her cultivation and said they would discuss having offspring after he attained Sainthood.

Luo Qing gathered the Innate Star Gods at Hua Tian Peak and helped them establish Origin Stars in the Hua Tian World, strengthening both their cultivation and his world. After thousands of years, Luohu Star God was the last to arrive, leaving Luo Qing surprised and wary of his possible connection to Demon Ancestor Luohu.

• Fairy Xihua stayed in the Jade Pool to cultivate after Luo Qing reassured her, while he reflected that many Innate Sacred Beings had reached the limits of their talent.
• Fairy Zi Guang's first thirty-five Innate Star Gods arrived at Hua Tian Peak, and Luo Qing brought them into the Hua Tian World.
• Luo Qing told the Star Gods to use their origins to create secondary Origin Stars, with the world's Heavenly Dao helping them.
• The Star Gods transformed into stars as the Hua Tian World supplied them with World Origin energy, strengthening the stars and their cultivation.
• Over several thousand years, more Star Gods arrived and raised the number of stars in the Hua Tian World to more than 3,500; Luohu Star God remained absent.
• A hundred years later, Luohu Star God arrived before Luo Qing, surprising him after he had suspected a connection to Demon Ancestor Luohu.

Luo Qing recognized that the Luohu Star God was secretly Demon Ancestor Luohu but let him establish a star in Hua Tian World. He then focused on advancing Hua Tian World and planned to use the Second War of Wu and Yao as his opportunity to attain Sainthood.

• Luo Qing saw through the Luohu Star God’s disguise but pretended not to recognize Demon Ancestor Luohu and sent him to create the Luohu Star beside Jidu Star.
• Luohu realized Luo Qing was the former target of his failed body-seizure attempt and, fearing a powerful rival Remnant Soul, resolved to stay hidden in Hua Tian World.
• A Great Luo Demon God in the Heavenly Court noticed that one Luohu Remnant Soul had gone missing and chose to remain concealed, wary of Hongjun’s Sainthood and Dao integration.
• Luo Qing instructed Hua Tian Heavenly Dao to monitor Luohu, then focused on advancing Hua Tian World so he could attain Sainthood.
• Luo Qing identified the coming Second War of Wu and Yao as his best chance to advance Hua Tian World while Hongjun intervened.

The Primordial Unity Eagle Demon and other Taiyi Grand Demons slaughtered Witch Clan camps in the Northern Domain to collect blood in exchange for spiritual treasures.

As the Witch-Apocalypse Calamity spread, Luo Qing recognized that he had entered the tribulation too and ordered Hua Tian and Jade Pool to seal their mountain gates.

• Shu Dao Ren traded the Primordial Unity Eagle Demon's Witch Blood Pills for the promise of a Top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, then killed him with a flying sword and destroyed his corpse and pills.
