Chapter Summaries

Thirteen powerful Quasi-Sages attacked the Dragon Palace while weaker cultivators gathered to plunder the Dragon Race’s wealth. Water Spirit Holy Mother revealed that she remained at her peak and used the Army Formation and Profound Origin Water Control Banner to destroy the attackers’ bodies, leaving them wary of her power.

• Thirteen Late Quasi-Sages joined forces and rapidly broke through the arrays protecting the Dragon Palace.
• Weaker Quasi-Sages and Grand Luo Golden Immortals gathered nearby, hoping to loot the Dragon Race’s wealth after its defenses fell.
• The attackers destroyed the outer arrays and prepared to strike Water Spirit Holy Mother, believing her vitality had been depleted by the Dragon Race’s Ascension to Cosmos.
• Water Spirit Holy Mother appeared in control of the Dragon Race’s Army Formation and struck the thirteen Quasi-Sages with the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.
• The thirteen Quasi-Sages had their true bodies destroyed and their origins damaged before reconstructing themselves, while Water Spirit Holy Mother asked whether her unharmed appearance had disappointed them.

The Thirteen Top Quasi-Sages cornered Water Spirit Holy Mother and the Dragon Race, demanding the Primordial Violet Qi and threatening to slaughter the sea’s inhabitants. Holy Mother Zi Guang arrived and struck down one attacker, and an Innate Supreme Treasure revealed that another powerful ally was hidden in the Dragon Palace, leaving the attackers unable to threaten the Dragon Race.

• The Thirteen Top Quasi-Sages surrounded Water Spirit Holy Mother and the Dragon Race, demanding the Primordial Violet Qi and threatening the lives of billions in the Canghai Sea.
• Holy Mother Zi Guang ambushed a Late Quasi-Sage and shattered his physical body with the power of the stars.
• Holy Mother Zi Guang joined Water Spirit Holy Mother, forcing the attackers to abandon their hopes of taking the Primordial Violet Qi and consider demanding compensation instead.
• As a Peak Quasi-Sage prepared to threaten Water Spirit Holy Mother, an Innate Supreme Treasure’s aura spread from the Dragon Palace and stopped him from speaking.
• The Thirteen Top Quasi-Sages realized that the Dragon Race’s hidden ally and Innate Supreme Treasure had ended their leverage.

Water Spirit Holy Mother forced the thirteen Quasi-Sages who had attacked the Dragon Race to pay one Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure each, settling their grudge without a fight. The invaders and their followers fled, leaving the East Sea Dragon Clan’s crisis resolved.

• Water Spirit Holy Mother, backed by Holy Mother Zi Guang and Long Ling, blocked the thirteen Quasi-Sages as they tried to retreat and demanded a treasure from each as an apology.
• A respected Peak Quasi-Saint persuaded the others to accept, warning that Water Spirit Holy Mother might use the Primordial Violet Qi to attain sainthood and later seek revenge.
• The thirteen Quasi-Sages each presented a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure as a congratulatory gift, and Water Spirit Holy Mother accepted them and dismissed the visitors.
• The other Quasi-Sages and Immortal Gods fled after seeing the Dragon Race withstand the assault, ending the threat to the East Sea Dragon Clan.

After the Dragon Race successfully ascended to a Cosmic World, the Eastern Sea turmoil subsided and the news reshaped the Primordial World's cultivation powers. Quasi-Sages began forming alliances to pursue Primordial Violet Qi, while Luo Qing observed the changes and doubted that the alliances would hold together.

• Water Spirit Holy Mother, Holy Mother Zi Guang, and Long Ling thanked one another for their help, then agreed to remain with the Dragon Race for about a thousand years.
• The offshore Cultivation World retreated from Dragon Race waters, while Eastern Sea rogue cultivators waited to see whether Water Spirit Holy Mother would attain sainthood.
• Quasi-Sages learned that the Dragon Race's ascension had depended on cooperation among top Quasi-Sages and an Innate Supreme Treasure, prompting them to form teams to pursue Primordial Violet Qi.
• Late Quasi-Sages began building broader alliances, weakening the standing of lineages and clans that remained outside them.
• Luo Qing watched the Primordial World's new alliances take shape and doubted that most Quasi-Saint Alliances could sustain their cooperation.

Luo Qing completed a second-generation Cave Heaven World Treasure Pearl usable by groups of Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but conventional artifact-refining methods could not lower its threshold enough for mass-produced World Clusters. Seeing the Fire Ancestor Cult thrive, he considered whether faith could help open and stabilize Small Worlds and drew faith, incense, and divine light from its temples for study.

• Luo Qing refined a second-generation Cave Heaven World Treasure Pearl that let multiple Grand Unity Golden Immortals work together to open a stable Small World.
• Luo Qing recognized that the Pearl’s materials and Remote Spirit Gathering Array limited further reductions in its usage threshold.
• Luo Lian and Zi Luo recruited disciples and established the Fire Ancestor Cult Orthodoxy across the Hua Tian Earth.
• The Fire Ancestor Cult’s temples gained believers, and the Fire Ancestor Divine Being grew stronger and manifested more often.
• Luo Qing considered whether faith could help open and stabilize Small Worlds, then drew faith, incense fire, and divine light from the temples.

Luo Qing studied how faith could shape a Divine Kingdom, while Long Ling began using the Qian Kun Position Chart to absorb the Canghai Origin. Haotian sought a future Western Great Emperor to balance the Heavenly Court before he eventually abdicated, and Luo Qing concluded that faith-based Divine Kingdoms prolonged souls’ lives at the cost of their chance to reincarnate.

• Long Ling connected her Old Canghai Origin to the New Canghai Origin, then began refining it with the Qian Kun Position Chart, whose map expanded to include the Canghai Sea.
• Haotian emerged from cultivation troubled by the Heavenly Throne’s karma and decided that a Western Great Emperor from Jade Void Mountain should help balance Hua Tian Peak’s influence before he abdicated.
• Ancestor Hongjun sent his divine will toward Jade Void Mountain to select a candidate for the Western Great Emperor.
• After decades of research, Luo Qing determined that faith and Incense Fire could form spiritual Divine Kingdoms where deities housed believers’ souls and extended their Yin Lifespans.
• Luo Qing concluded that Divine Kingdoms ultimately harvested souls’ life force and potential, preventing them from reincarnating once their souls withered.

Luo Qing refined a faith-powered Cave Heaven World treasure while Taishang Laojun joined the Heavenly Court as its Western Great Emperor, weakening Hua Tian Peak’s influence. As Luo Qing continued his research, a divine egg began to stir inside a white lotus in an unnoticed Void.

• Luo Qing used Faith Divine Light to improve the Cave Heaven World treasure until an Early Taiyi Golden Immortal could reliably open a Small World.
• Taishang Laojun answered Haotian’s summons and took the position of Western Great Emperor, completing the Heavenly Court’s Five Imperial Emperors.
• Haotian confirmed Taishang Laojun was Laozi’s incarnation, and Taishang Laojun asked to be treated as an ordinary Quasi-Sage minister.
• Kong Xuan and Holy Mother Zi Guang felt threatened by Taishang Laojun and reduced Hua Tian Peak’s influence in the Heavenly Court.
• Luo Qing learned of the appointment, then returned to researching faith and the world pearl as a divine egg radiated vitality inside a blooming white lotus.

Long Ling returned to Kunlun Mountain after incorporating the Canghai into the Qian Kun Position Chart, and Luo Qing advised her to extend it to the Star Sea, Gui Xu, the Heavenly Realm, and the Netherworld. Luo Qing then revealed his plan to have Kunlun Mountain’s immortals and gods use Cave Heaven Treasure Pearls to open many Small Worlds for the Hua Tian Human Race and strengthen the Fire Ancestor Cult.

• An Innate Sacred Being was born in the Southern Domain, while the Heavenly Court focused on making the Northern Domain its foundation under Haotian’s leadership.
• Long Ling returned to Kunlun Mountain after refining the Qian Kun Position Chart to incorporate the Canghai and its eastern, western, and southern seas.
• Luo Qing examined the chart and urged Long Ling to find ways to include the Star Sea, Gui Xu, the Heavenly Realm, and the Netherworld.
• Luo Qing showed Long Ling hundreds of thousands of Cave Heaven Treasure Pearls and explained how they could help immortals of different cultivation levels open worlds.
• Long Ling guessed that Luo Qing planned to move the Hua Tian Human Race into Small Worlds to expand the Fire Ancestor Cult, and Luo Qing confirmed he wanted Kunlun Mountain’s immortals and gods to help.

Luo Qing and Long Ling planned to have Kunlun Mountain’s immortals open Small Worlds for Hua Tian Peak in exchange for valuable rewards. Long Ling launched the mission across Kunlun Mountain, drawing large numbers of immortals eager for resources, medicines, treasures, and Sage-written insights.

• Long Ling supported Luo Qing’s plan to make Kunlun Mountain’s immortals contribute to Hua Tian Peak and asked how they could be motivated.
• Luo Qing proposed offering cultivation resources, medicines, spiritual treasures, divine abilities, and secret arts as rewards for opening Small Worlds that would belong to Hua Tian Peak.
• Luo Qing assigned the work of producing Cave Heaven World Treasure Pearls to herself and left Long Ling to coordinate the development plan with Hua Tian Peak’s subordinates.
• Long Ling arranged for Hua Tian Peak to issue Small World opening missions throughout Kunlun Mountain, keeping the plan’s purpose of strengthening the Fire Ancestor Cult secret.
• Millions of immortals took interest in the missions, especially Golden Immortals seeking medicines to survive the Five Declines of Celestials and higher-level cultivators seeking spiritual treasures and Sage-written insights.
• Golden Immortals and True Immortals began accepting missions and opening Small Worlds with Hua Tian Peak’s Cave Heaven World Treasure Pearls.

Jieyin and Zhunti followed Hua Tian Peak’s lead and ordered Western Teachings Grand Luo Golden Immortals to open Small Worlds, while Nuwa and Jade Void Mountain continued to observe. Luo Qing expanded Hua Tian Peak’s World Cluster, and after a century, began moving people into its first hundred thousand new Small Worlds.

• Jieyin gave up investigating the Small Worlds, but Zhunti proposed that Western Teachings open as many as possible, and Jieyin agreed.
• Jieyin and Zhunti assigned Western Teachings Grand Luo Golden Immortals to open Small Worlds near Spirit Mountain, while Nuwa and Jade Void Mountain chose to watch from the sidelines.
• Luo Qing recognized that Small Worlds would later help gather faith and Incense Fire, and continued relying on Immortals and Gods from Kunlun Mountain and Hua Tian Earth to create them.
• After a hundred years, Hua Tian Peak had gathered more than one hundred thousand new Small Worlds, and Luo Qing merged them into a World Cluster.
• Once the Small Worlds’ spiritual energies stabilized, Luo Qing arranged for mortals and low-level cultivators from Hua Tian Earth to migrate into them.

Over ten thousand years, the Fire Ancestor Cult spread across ten million Small Worlds, and the Fire Ancestor Divine Being reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm through the faith of countless humans. Luo Qing continued the Small World creation campaign, which later passed one hundred million worlds even as its pace slowed.

• Hua Tian Peak accumulated ten million Small Worlds, which the Hua Tian Human Race populated over ten thousand years.
• Countless humans across the worlds worshiped the Fire Ancestor Divine Being, whose remaining faith elevated him to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
• Luo Lian and Zi Luo's cultivation system spread through the Fire Ancestor Cult, embedding worship of the Fire Ancestor Divine Being among the Hua Tian Human Race.
• Luo Qing concluded that the faith of ten million Small Worlds was insufficient to raise the Fire Ancestor Divine Being to the Quasi-Sage or Primordial Chaos Saint realm and decided to continue creating worlds.
• After more than a hundred thousand years, the Small World total passed one hundred million, while creation slowed to ten thousand worlds per century.

Luo Qing learned that the Fire Ancestor Divine Being had reached the Quasi-Sage Realm, but faith power had become less effective and could not quickly carry it further. He turned his attention to Holy Mother Xihua, whose seclusion was nearing its end, and inspected her after strange fluctuations appeared around her retreat.

• The Fire Ancestor Divine Being reached the Quasi-Sage Realm after more than a hundred thousand years of accumulated faith, but Luo Qing found that Faith Divine Light had become far less effective.
• Luo Qing chose not to force immortals and gods to open more Small Worlds, fearing that a rush to advance the Fire Ancestor Divine Being would draw the other Sages' attention.
• Luo Qing left the Fire Ancestor Cult largely to the Fire Ancestor Divine Being and shifted his focus to Holy Mother Xihua's long seclusion and potential attempt to attain Sainthood.
• Luo Qing appeared in the Jade Pool World, where Xuan Nü reported that unstable fluctuations had surrounded Holy Mother Xihua's retreat for three months.
• Luo Qing reassured Xuan Nü that the fluctuations came from Holy Mother Xihua refining a sacred medicine, then used his Dao Eye to examine her condition without disturbing her.

Holy Mother Xihua refined a Primordial Chaos-grade medicine that could help a Peak Quasi-Saint begin a Sainthood Tribulation, then prepared for and finally summoned her own tribulation. As Luo Qing guarded her in the Void outside the Star Sea, the Saints arrived and asked to observe.

• Luo Qing inspected Xihua’s secluded medicine refining, reassured Xuan Nü, and guarded the retreat while the Great Medicine took shape.
• After a century, Xihua completed the Heavenly Dao Saint Heart Medicine, and Luo Qing explained that it could help qualified cultivators draw down a Sainthood Tribulation.
• Xihua chose to recover before undergoing the tribulation, and Luo Qing sent her the Thunder Gourd and Creation Green Lotus to refine for protection.
• Three thousand years later, Xihua reached peak condition, refined both treasures, merged with the Primordial Violet Qi, took the medicine, and summoned the Saint Ascension Tribulation.
• Luo Qing guarded Xihua as her powerful Thunder Tribulation alarmed immortals throughout the Primordial World, and Nuwa and the other Saints arrived to ask to observe.

Holy Mother Xihua faced the final stage of her Sainthood Tribulation as ten Primordial Chaos Thunder Incarnations attacked her. The observers feared the growing difficulty of Attaining Sainthood, while Luo Qing watched anxiously as Xihua struggled to endure the assault.

• Nuwa asked Luo Qing to let her and the other Saint Incarnations observe Holy Mother Xihua's Thunder Tribulation, and he agreed as Quasi-Sages also gathered to watch.
• Holy Mother Xihua passed the Thunder Sea stage under the protection of the Creation Green Lotus.
• Ten Primordial Chaos Thunder Incarnations appeared around Holy Mother Xihua, alarming the Quasi-Sages and making Water Spirit Holy Mother and Nuwa worry about their own prospects and Fuxi's future tribulation.
• Holy Mother Xihua used the Creation Green Lotus and Heaven-Opening Thunder Gourd to fight the ten Incarnations, but their combined assault gradually overwhelmed her.
• Luo Qing worried that Xihua was in danger and concluded that future cultivators might have to outlast the Thunder Incarnations rather than defeat them.

Holy Mother Xihua survived the Saint Ascension Tribulation and became a Primordial Chaos Saint, then returned with Luo Qing to the Jade Pool. Her Dharma lecture was scheduled for ten thousand years later, while Luo Qing left her to organize her newfound knowledge and brought the Hua Tian Peak disciples back to their immortal realm.

• Holy Mother Xihua evaded ten Thunder Tribulation Incarnations with the protection of the Creation Green Lotus until the incarnations vanished and the tribulation ended.
• Holy Mother Xihua completed her transformation into a Primordial Chaos Saint, and Nuwa, Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, and the Two Saints of the West congratulated her.
• Luo Qing and Holy Mother Xihua returned to the Jade Pool, where the Jade Pool announced that Saint Xihua would lecture on the Dao in ten thousand years.
• Luo Qing left Luo Tian and Luo Yao at the Jade Pool to spend time with their mother, then led the Hua Tian Peak disciples back to the Hua Tian Immortal Realm.

Luo Qing reunited with his five disciples and explained that the Innate Era was nearing its end and the Acquired Era would soon begin. He reassured them that a great calamity was approaching, though it might not take the form of a direct war between Innate and Acquired Beings, leaving them to ponder how the transition would unfold.

• Luo Qing assessed Yan Tianyu, Long Ling, Huang Ting, Luo Lian, and Zi Luo after they formally gathered as his direct disciples.
• Yan Tianyu asked whether he should spread the Fire Ancestor Cult among the Primordial Wilderness Human Race, but Luo Qing told him not to involve them for now.
• Luo Qing instructed Yan Tianyu and Huang Ting to learn about the Fire Ancestor Cult and Incense Fire because they were part of Hua Tian Peak's plans for the next era.
• Long Ling asked what Luo Qing meant by the next era, and he explained that the Innate Era was ending and the Acquired Era was about to begin.
• Yan Tianyu worried that the transition would spark a war between Innate and Acquired Beings, but Luo Qing said the coming Kalpa Tribulation might unfold unexpectedly.
• Luo Qing's five disciples pondered whether the transition between eras would proceed smoothly and what the Primordial Wilderness would become.

As Kunlun Mountain grew crowded ahead of Holy Mother Xihua’s public sermon, she declined to take more disciples and prepared to lecture on Medicine Refining. Her sermon drew countless cultivators and the attention of several Sages.

• Yan Tianyu returned to the Southern Domain to prepare the Primordial Human Race for the coming era-changing upheaval.
• Immortal Gods flocked to the Kunlun Mountain Range, seeking safety, a place to settle, or a chance to join Jade Pool.
• Holy Mother Xihua told Luo Qing she would not take more disciples, having already accepted Xuan Nü as her Direct Disciple.
• After ten thousand years, Holy Mother Xihua began her public lecture on Medicine Refining in the Jade Pool World.
• Hongjun, Nuwa, and other Sages listened in incarnated forms as Holy Mother Xihua expounded the Dao.

Luo Qing explained that Xihua’s Sagehood Elixir could only help someone already close to sainthood, while her sermon made Medicine Refining a sought-after cultivation discipline. After the Jade Pool Grand Assembly, Kunlun Mountain became so crowded that its spiritual balance and resources began to suffer, leaving Luo Qing to confront the range’s limits.

• Laozi and Nuwa asked Luo Qing about the Sagehood Elixir, and he explained that Xihua had made only one and that it had merely saved her time on the path to sainthood.
• Xihua preached for a hundred years, linking Medicine Refining to her attainment of sainthood and inspiring interest in Medicine Refining and Alchemy.
• The Jade Pool Grand Assembly ended, and many immortals and gods settled in Kunlun Mountain, bringing its residents to over ten million.
• Long Ling reported to Luo Qing that the crowded range was suffering spiritual strain and frequent conflicts among its residents.
• Luo Qing examined Kunlun Mountain and saw that the immense population had burdened its spiritual roots and slowed the circulation of spiritual essence.

Luo Qing began expanding the Kunlun Mountain Range to make room for its growing population and rebalance its Yin and Yang Earth Veins. He instructed Long Ling to stabilize the surrounding land and Zhao Gongming to bind his blood and soul to Kunlun’s Earth Vein and a map, leaving Zhao Gongming poised to seize a major opportunity.

• Luo Qing saw that Kunlun Mountain’s growing population and the imbalance between its Yin and Yang Earth Veins called for expanding the range.
• Luo Qing summoned Long Ling and her disciple Zhao Gongming, saying the expansion might bring Zhao Gongming benefits.
• Luo Qing brought Long Ling and Zhao Gongming above Hua Tian Peak and explained that he would expand Kunlun Mountain’s borders.
• Luo Qing told Long Ling to use the Qian Kun Position Chart to stabilize the surrounding land during the expansion.
• Luo Qing instructed Zhao Gongming to attach a drop of his Quintessential Blood and a wisp of his Split Soul to Kunlun’s Earth Vein Ancestral Root and the chart’s map center, then refine them.

Luo Qing expanded the Kunlun Mountain Range with Long Ling’s help, while Zhao Gongming tried to bind his Split Soul and Quintessential Blood to Kunlun’s earth veins in reality and on the Qian Kun Position Chart. The mountains continued spreading outward as the Immortals and Gods watched, though the expansion drew Earth Qi from other regions and could not be pushed too far.

• Luo Qing used his Dharma Power to lift and expand the Kunlun Mountain Range, while Long Ling activated the Qian Kun Position Chart to protect it and gather Earth Qi.
• Luo Qing called Zhao Gongming, who sent two drops of Quintessential Blood carrying Split Soul into Kunlun’s earth vein ancestral root and its map on the Qian Kun Position Chart.
• Zhao Gongming split his consciousness to stabilize both drops and help them merge with the corresponding earth veins, while Luo Qing and Long Ling continued the expansion.
• Kunlun’s shaking roused tens of millions of Immortals and Gods, who fled into the sky and saw its peaks rise and its territory spread outward.
• Many Immortals and Gods welcomed the new land and began seeking outer peaks for cave dwellings, while the expansion continued to consume Earth Qi drawn from other regions.
