Chapter Summaries

Luo Qing and Ancestor Hongjun disputed who should Merge with Dao and become a Primordial Violet Saint, then agreed that Saints would not personally intervene in Primordial World affairs. Ancestor Hongjun left to consider Luo Qing’s suggestion that he open an Affiliated Universe to study the Primordial Era Heavenly Dao.

• Luo Qing rejected Ancestor Hongjun’s claim that Merging with Dao could delay Ancestor God Pangu’s resurrection and argued that he should be allowed to save the Primordial World.
• Luo Qing warned that once other figures Attained Sainthood, they would prevent Ancestor Hongjun from Merging with Dao in the Primordial World.
• Ancestor Hongjun proposed that Saints refrain from personally intervening in Primordial World affairs and let the Primordial Myriad Gods contend over who could Merge with Dao; Luo Qing agreed and extended the rule to future Saints.
• Ancestor Hongjun asked whether Luo Qing’s Primordial Violet Qi came from an Affiliated Universe, and Luo Qing confirmed that such universes could nurture it.
• Luo Qing reassured Ancestor Hongjun that Primordial Violet Qi alone did not guarantee Sainthood and suggested he open an Affiliated Universe to indirectly comprehend the Primordial Era Heavenly Dao.
• Ancestor Hongjun said he would consider Luo Qing’s suggestion and vanished into the clouds.

Luo Qing resolved to forge Divine Treasures capable of threatening Sages and watched Yan Tianyu rise within the Fire Tribe, wondering whether it would unite the Hua Tian Human Race. In the Primordial Wilderness, the Witch Clan continued expanding at the Demon Race’s expense, so Di Jun moved countless demons into Small Worlds.

• Luo Qing judged that his agreement with Ancestor Hongjun might not restrain future Sages and decided to design and forge Divine Treasures against them.
• Luo Qing watched Yan Tianyu, his reincarnated former Senior Disciple, fight for the Fire Tribe and considered whether Huode was destined to rise and lead the Hua Tian Human Race.
• After Hongjun Dao Ancestor’s thirty-thousand-year truce, the Witch Clan continued eating and displacing demons while expanding beyond Buzhou Mountain.
• Di Jun obtained many Cave Heaven Treasure Pearls from Hua Tian Peak and relocated countless weak demons into Small Worlds within the Heavenly Court.

Di Jun and Tai Yi prepared the Demon Clan’s Small Worlds as a refuge and planned a great array to oppose the Witch Clan, while Nuwa worried that Fuxi’s cooperation would entangle their siblings with the Demon Clan. At Hua Tian Peak, Luo Qing studied the powerful thunder held inside the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, seeking methods to contend with Sages.

• Di Jun told Tai Yi that the Demon Clan’s Small Worlds were an escape route, not a way to defeat the Witch Clan, and ordered him to summon Fuxi to help devise a counter-array.
• Fuxi welcomed Di Jun’s invitation, but Nuwa warned that deep ties to the Demon Clan could expose them to its future downfall; Fuxi reassured her before leaving.
• Nuwa resolved to reach Peak Quasi-Sage and prepare to Attain Sainthood after recognizing how powerless Quasi-Sages were before Sages.
• Hua Tian Peak’s Cave Heaven Treasure Pearl trade continued steadily, with Huang Ting and Long Ling taking over the refining from Luo Qing.
• Luo Qing opened the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd in the Hua Tian Universe’s Origin Ocean and studied the two extraordinary thunder forces within its Thunder Sea.

Luo Qing strengthened two tribulation thunders and began deducing a Divine Treasure capable of destroying a Sage’s Present Body. Long Ling traveled to the Eastern Sea to complete her Canghai Origin, where Water Spirit Holy Mother warned that refining it could leave the Four Seas unsuppressed and flood the Primordial Great Land.

• Luo Qing strengthened the black Destruction Dao thunder and golden will-annihilating thunder, named them the Heaven and Earth Twin Thunders, and stored them in the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd.
• Luo Qing began combining Innate Runes and rare materials to deduce a Divine Treasure that could destroy a Sage’s Present Body.
• Long Ling left Hua Tian Peak for the Eastern Sea at Luo Qing’s instruction and followed a summons from the Canghai Sea into the deep ocean.
• Water Spirit Holy Mother met Long Ling above the former Dragon Race ancestral land and learned that she had come to complete the Canghai Origin.
• Water Spirit Holy Mother warned Long Ling that refining the Canghai Origin could unleash the Four Seas and flood the Primordial Great Land, then asked whether Luo Qing had a solution.

Long Ling refined the Canghai Origin in the Eastern Sea after receiving Sea Suppressing Pearls from Luo Qing to replace the Sea Eyes, then set out with the Water Spirit Holy Mother to gather the origins of the other seas. Meanwhile, Yan Tianyu’s growing Human Fire Tribe pushed his cultivation toward the Golden Immortal realm, and Huang Ting awaited his senior brother’s return.

• Long Ling showed the Water Spirit Holy Mother a Sea Suppressing Pearl made by Luo Qing, and the Holy Mother agreed to let her refine the Canghai Origin.
• The Water Spirit Holy Mother led Long Ling to the Eastern Sea Sea Eye, where Long Ling placed a Sea Suppressing Pearl and began refining the origin.
• After a hundred years, Long Ling emerged with greatly strengthened Great Luo Dharma Power, and she asked the Water Spirit Holy Mother to accompany her to the other three seas.
• Yan Tianyu led the Human Fire Tribe in conquering nearby tribes, and its population grew beyond one million as his cultivation began advancing toward the Golden Immortal realm.
• Huang Ting sensed Yan Tianyu’s breakthrough from the Underworld and looked forward to his eldest senior brother’s return.

Yan Tianyu regained Yan Sheng's memories after reaching the Golden Immortal realm, then chose to stay with the Fire Tribe and pursue the Human Sovereign position without relying on Hua Tian Peak. Long Ling completed her fusion of the Canghai Origin, but discovered that it was incomplete and that the remaining fragments had become rivers and lakes across the Primordial Great Land.

• Yan Tianyu broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, recovered Yan Sheng's memories, and thanked his teacher for granting him a new life.
• Huang Ting congratulated Yan Tianyu and offered him a choice of where to cultivate, but Yan Tianyu decided to remain with the Fire Tribe and rely on himself.
• Yan Tianyu resolved to seek the Human Sovereign position and wondered whether he could unite the Hua Tian Human Race and make the Fire Tribe flourish.
• Luo Qing learned that Yan Tianyu had regained his memories but continued his secluded work on eighteen Innate Spiritual Treasures.
• Long Ling and Water Spirit Holy Mother placed the final Sea Suppressing Pearl in the North Sea Eye, allowing Long Ling to fuse the Canghai Origin scattered through the Four Seas.
• Long Ling sensed that the Canghai Origin was still incomplete and concluded that its remaining fragments had become the Primordial Great Land's rivers and lakes.

Long Ling decided to ask her teacher how to protect the Canghai Origin fragments scattered through the Primordial Great Land. Meanwhile, the Witch Clan’s fortune grew as new prodigies emerged, the Demon Clan prepared for another conflict, and Hongjun collected two Immortal Stones and a nearby stone fragment.

• Long Ling decided to return to Hua Tian Peak and consult her teacher about her scattered Canghai Origin.
• Xing Tian, Kua Fu, and Hou Yi drew attention as gifted young Witch Clan warriors, helping the Witch Clan’s fortune rise.
• Demon Master Kunpeng advised Di Jun to have Chang Xi bear an heir, and they agreed to stabilize the Heavenly Court and the Demon Clan’s fortune.
• The Heavenly Court continued gathering powerful demons in preparation for a future decisive battle with the Witch Clan.
• Hongjun Dao Ancestor summoned two Immortal Stones from Jade Capital Mountain and also took a nearby stone fragment with him.

Hongjun Dao Ancestor trained Haotian, Taihua, and Yaoji as attendants while traveling through the Primordial Wilderness. After thirty thousand years, Luo Qing emerged from seclusion, reviewed his disciples’ progress, and advised Long Ling to prepare to prove the Dao through One Yuan Perfection.

• Hongjun Dao Ancestor taught Haotian, Taihua, and Yaoji cultivation techniques in a valley and traveled with Haotian and Taihua for thirty thousand years.
• Luo Qing completed his deduction of the Divine Treasure and met with Long Ling and Huang Ting at Five-Colored Divine Mountain.
• Long Ling told Luo Qing that she had given Water Spirit Holy Mother the Array Flags he refined to accelerate her Small World's growth.
• Luo Qing explained that he supported Water Spirit Holy Mother and Fairy Zi Guang as potential allies among future Sages.
• Luo Qing approved Long Ling's choice to attain the Dao through One Yuan Perfection and cautioned Huang Ting not to rush his cultivation.
• Luo Qing told Long Ling and Huang Ting that he would reside at Jade Pool and could be sought there if anything happened.

Luo Qing reunited with Yan Tianyu, gave him cultivation guidance, and arranged for Yan Wolf to meet him once he reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. He then joined Fairy Xihua in the Jade Pool World, where he began preparing to raise it into the Jade Pool Universe and fulfill her Dao Mother identity.

• Luo Qing visited Yan Tianyu, praised his leadership of the thriving Fire Tribe, and gave him guidance before accepting that he keep the Spiritual Dao Jade.
• Luo Qing told Yan Tianyu to cultivate and manage the tribe well, promising that Yan Wolf would find him after he reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
• Luo Qing checked on Luo Xuan, whose Mid Quasi-Sage cultivation was nearing the Late Quasi-Sage realm, then traveled to the Jade Pool World.
• Luo Qing told Fairy Xihua that he would promote the Jade Pool World and have children with her to complete her Dao Mother body.
• Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua spent several years strolling through the Jade Pool World before he began expanding it toward its ascension into the Jade Pool Universe.

Luo Qing drew vast amounts of Chaos energy into the Jade Pool World, helping it grow toward becoming an Affiliated Universe while Fairy Xihua and the Heavenly Dao Embryo transformed the energy. The Primordial Wilderness’s powerful immortals gathered to observe, and after ten thousand years the Jade Pool World reached the limit of a Great Thousand World.

• Luo Qing opened a rift in the Jade Pool World’s barrier and drew Chaos energy into its Origin Land while Fairy Xihua oversaw the Spirit Gathering Array.
• Ancestor Hongjun sensed the energy fluctuations, watched from a distance, and considered cultivating an Affiliated Universe of his own.
• The Jade Pool World’s growth caused Spiritual Essence Qi to rise in Kunlun Mountain, and Saint Huode’s advancement became known throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
• The Three Pure Ones, Di Jun and Tai Yi, Di Jiang and Houtu, Jieyin and Zhunti, and other immortals came to watch Luo Qing’s work.
• After a thousand years and then ten thousand years passed, the Jade Pool World reached the limit of a Great Thousand World.

Luo Qing used his Sage Dharma Power to expand the Jade Pool Great Thousand World, and it survived the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation to become the Jade Pool Universe. Its birth strengthened the Primordial Era Heavenly Dao and stirred tensions among the Primordial World’s powers.

• Luo Qing sent Fairy Xihua and the Jade Pool immortals away before using his Sage Dharma Power to expand the Jade Pool World to a radius of ten trillion li.
• After exhausting nearly nine-tenths of his Dharma Power, Luo Qing recovered and assured Fairy Xihua that the Jade Pool World had enough Origin energy to endure the Thunder Tribulation.
• The Jade Pool World survived the Thunder Tribulation and officially ascended into the Jade Pool Universe, strengthening the Primordial Era Heavenly Dao.
• Jieyin and Zhunti praised Sage Huode’s growing influence, provoking cold reactions from Di Jun, Tai Yi, Di Jiang, and Houtu.
• Di Jun rebuked Jieyin and Zhunti, and Di Jiang threatened that the Witch Clan would visit Spirit Mountain.

After the Jade Pool Universe ascended, Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua explored it and planned how to strengthen its foundations. At the universe’s Origin Land, Luo Qing prepared to refine eighteen Innate Spirit Mirrors with Fairy Xihua’s help.

• Jieyin and Zhunti restrained themselves after Di Jun and Di Jiang threatened them, while the immortals and gods discussed drawing close to Sages without submitting to them.
• The immortals and gods dispersed after the Jade Pool Universe successfully ascended.
• Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua explored the new universe and discussed establishing affiliated worlds and preparing for the future emergence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
• Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua reached the Origin Land, where Fairy Xihua offered to help him refine treasures using her control over half of the Jade Pool Heavenly Dao.
• Luo Qing revealed that he planned to refine eighteen Innate Spirit Mirrors and assembled rare materials of fire, space, chaos, and yuan magnetism.

As Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua prepared eighteen Spirit Mirrors, Yaochi reopened its gateway and began recruiting one hundred thousand female Subordinate Deities to develop its newly expanded universe. In the Origin Land, Fairy Xihua guided the Jade Pool Heavenly Dao through the final treasure-refining step, while she resolved to focus on Immortal Medicine instead of refining treasures.

• Luo Qing processed materials for all eighteen Spirit Mirror prototypes together while Fairy Xihua watched and learned beside him.
• The Jade Pool World reopened on Kunlun Peak after becoming an Affiliated Universe and expanding enormously.
• Xuan Nü announced that Yaochi would recruit one hundred thousand Subordinate Deities, with no cultivation requirements, and accept only female immortals.
• Fairy Xihua entrusted management of the Jade Pool Universe to Xuan Nü and Bai Hua while she and Luo Qing worked in the Origin Land.
• Luo Qing asked Fairy Xihua to guide the Jade Pool Heavenly Dao, which summoned a Thunder Tribulation to complete the eighteen Spirit Mirrors.
• Fairy Xihua said she would concentrate on Immortal Plants, Spiritual Roots, and medicinal treasures, and Luo Qing thought of Kunlun Mountain’s famed Immortal Medicine.

Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua completed the eighteen Chikong Mirrors, a set of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures forged with fire and spatial powers. After testing their combined might in the Chaos Void, Luo Qing judged the set powerful but temporary, limited by its materials and weaker essence.

• After nearly a thousand years of Heavenly Dao tempering, the eighteen Treasure Mirrors emerged as Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and Luo Qing refined them as the Chikong Mirrors.
• Luo Qing tested an individual Chikong Mirror and found its spatial power slightly weaker than the Hua Tian Mirror, while its flames rivaled some Innate Spiritual Fires.
• Luo Qing took Fairy Xihua to the Chaos Void and tested the mirrors in combinations of three, six, nine, and more.
• The twelve-mirror combination matched the Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd, and all eighteen mirrors surpassed it, though Luo Qing noted that the set was fragile and could be weakened if mirrors were destroyed.
• Fairy Xihua wondered how powerful larger sets would be, but Luo Qing said the Chikong Mirrors were only a transitional measure and that materials limited how many he could forge.

After refining eighteen Chikong Mirrors, Luo Qing received a warning from the Primordial World Heavenly Dao and discovered a powerful Nine-Eyed Chaos God-Demon approaching from the Chaos Void. He kept the threat secret from Fairy Xihua and returned with her to the Jade Pool, intending to plan how to slay the demon.

• Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua acknowledged that the rare materials available had produced only eighteen Chikong Mirrors, far short of the thirty-six needed for a complete set.
• While inspecting the Chaos Void with the Eye of the Great Dao, Luo Qing received a warning from the Primordial World Heavenly Dao and saw dark red malice gathering beyond the world's boundary.
• The Heavenly Dao's power let Luo Qing glimpse a colossal green-skinned Chaos God-Demon with one black horn and nine scarlet eyes, striding toward the Primordial World.
• Luo Qing realized the approaching Nine-Eyed God-Demon posed a Sage-level threat and considered joining forces with Ancestor Hongjun to defeat it.
• Luo Qing concealed the discovery from Fairy Xihua and returned with her to the Jade Pool, deciding that keeping the threat secret would help him ambush the demon.

Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua began conceiving heirs through dual cultivation so Fairy Xihua could complete her identity as a Dao Mother without bearing too many children. Luo Qing merged nine nascent lives into one, then split it into a son and a daughter, leaving their two Divine Eggs to grow outside the womb over tens of thousands of years.

• Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua circulated their Yin Yang energies through dual cultivation for several thousand years, forming nine Life Spiritual Lights within Fairy Xihua.
• Luo Qing used his Eye of the Great Dao and Sage Dharma Power to merge the nine Life Spiritual Lights into one, reducing the burden on Fairy Xihua.
• Luo Qing hesitated before splitting the single Life Spiritual Light into two, creating one azure and one red Divine Egg.
• Luo Qing explained that he had chosen to have a son and a daughter, and the couple began nurturing the eggs with their origin energy.
• Luo Qing estimated that the Divine Eggs would need thirty to fifty thousand years to take shape, with longer still before they emerged.

Chang Xi gave birth to ten Golden Crow Divine Eggs, inspiring Nuwa to pursue sagehood through creating a perfect living race. After fifty thousand years, Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua completed nurturing their two Innate Sacred Divine Eggs, and Luo Qing prepared to preach a new Sage Attainment Method on Kunlun Mountain.

• Nuwa helped Chang Xi give birth to ten Golden Crow Divine Eggs, and Di Jun celebrated while Tai Yi urged the Demon Clan to keep the news guarded.
• Nuwa gained insight from the birth and began experimenting with creating life in a Heavenly Court Small World.
• Fifty thousand years passed as Immortal Gods opened Cave Heaven Worlds and Grand Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Sages gathered near Kunlun Mountain for Luo Qing's sermon.
• Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua finished nurturing their yin and yang Divine Eggs, then placed them in the Jade Pool's Origin Ocean and arranged for Fairy Xihua to recuperate.
• Luo Qing returned to Hua Tian Peak to prepare to preach a Sage Attainment Method different from the Method of Slaying Three Corpses.

Luo Qing returned to Hua Tian Peak and tasked Long Ling and Huang Ting with recruiting Subordinate Deities before his lecture. They gathered more than ninety Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and the assembled gods were ready to hear Luo Qing speak.

• Luo Qing surveyed Hua Tian Peak and found Long Ling had advanced to Quasi-Sage while Kong Xuan had reached late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.
• Luo Qing summoned Long Ling and Huang Ting, reproached them for not taking disciples, and ordered them to recruit worthy Subordinate Deities near Kunlun Mountain.
• Luo Qing gave Huang Ting the Great Earth Profound Yellow Disk, a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure he had refined from her Companion Treasure Embryo.
• Long Ling and Huang Ting, aided by Shu Dao Ren and Kong Xuan, secretly recruited more than ninety Grand Luo Golden Immortal Subordinate Deities.
• Long Ling told Luo Qing that the myriad gods had gathered beneath Hua Tian Peak, and he prepared to appear before them.

Luo Qing held a three-thousand-year sermon at Hua Tian Peak, then revealed his Method of One Yuan Perfection for attaining Sainthood. He warned the gathered immortals that the method required extraordinary talent and that too few Inner Self Worlds could cut off their hope of becoming a Saint.

• More than a hundred Quasi-Sages and over thirty thousand Grand Luo Golden Immortals gathered at Hua Tian Peak to hear Luo Qing preach the Dao.
• Luo Qing expounded on cultivation from the Grand Luo realm through preparing for Sainthood, while a concealed clone of Ancestor Hongjun listened for his Method of Proving the Dao.
• After the sermon ended, Luo Qing introduced the Method of One Yuan Perfection, which sought inward and did not require an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
• The Grand Luo Golden Immortals were excited to learn that the method used Inner Self Consciousness Worlds, and even the Quasi-Sages listened closely for insights.
• Luo Qing cautioned that the method suited only those with extraordinary talent and that anyone who formed fewer than ninety-nine thousand two hundred Inner Self Worlds would nearly lose all hope of attaining Sainthood.

After explaining the risks and benefits of the Method of One Yuan Perfection, Luo Qing finished his sermon and continued teaching his followers at Hua Tian Peak. Nuwa and Fuxi visited him to discuss a promised treasure, and Luo Qing welcomed them as old friends.

• Luo Qing explained that the Method of One Yuan Perfection suited only exceptionally talented cultivators, while some top immortals realized it could be combined with the Divine Dao.
• After the sermon ended, the immortals and deities thanked Luo Qing and left Kunlun Mountain, while he stayed to instruct Shu Dao Ren, Kong Xuan, and newly joined Grand Luo Golden Immortals.
• Long Ling told Luo Qing that Nuwa and Fuxi had come to visit, and he asked her to invite the siblings inside.
• Nuwa and Fuxi worried whether Luo Qing, now Saint Huode, would lend Fuxi the promised treasure despite his grievances with the Demon Race.
• Luo Qing welcomed Nuwa and Fuxi at Hua Tian Peak, sent Long Ling away, and told the siblings they could speak without formalities because they had known each other for a long time.
