• Luo Qing entered Pangu Temple, opened the Eye of the Great Dao, and searched for the place where the Ancestral Witches had been nurtured so he could obtain more of Pangu’s blood.

He joined East King Duke and the Golden Crow Brothers in comprehending the Dao, and his Yellow Middle Plum Fruit made the resonance around him far stronger than theirs.

• Luo Qing forced his way through the Nine-Colored Cloud Cluster atop Buzhou Mountain and discovered that the Heavenly Realm was part of the Primordial World's main space, not a subsidiary Small World.

Luo Qing advanced his cultivation while comprehending the Great Dao in the collapsed Heaven Heavenly Realm, but the arrival of a treasure disrupted the gathered cultivators’ truce.

• Nuwa and Fuxi warned each other to beware of Di Jun and Tai Yi, while Nuwa also remained wary of Luo Qing.
• A huge torrent of Celestial River Weak Water surged toward the immortals, sweeping away several Grand Luo Golden Immortals before Luo Qing and the others endured it with their treasures and defenses.
• A pearl, a Spiritual Sword, and a Spiritual Tower emerged from the collapsed space as the Weak Water torrent began to end.
• The immortals blasted apart the remaining Weak Water to stop it carrying off the treasures, scattering the three treasures in different directions.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi pursued the pearl and the Spiritual Tower separately, Nuwa and Fuxi chased the pearl together, and Luo Qing went after the Spiritual Sword alongside three other immortals.

Luo Qing fought off rivals for the Spiritual Sword and claimed it, then met Water Spirit, the wielder of the Profound Origin Water Control Banner. The contest ended, and he agreed with the others to watch the struggle over the remaining Divine Treasures.

• Luo Qing searched the Heavenly Realm for the Nine Heavens Breath Bag, hoping its earth-element power would nurture his Innate Spiritual Roots.

Nuwa recognized it as an opportunity crucial to her Dao Path, and the chapter ended with Fuxi preparing to negotiate with Luo Qing while Luo Qing teased the siblings about bringing him good fortune.

• Luo Qing sent the Great Qian Yuan Leaf underground and retrieved a Nine Heavens Breath Bag from the swamp.

After restoring the Hua Tian Small World and studying the Nine Heavens Breath Bag, he found a way to expand Netherworld Qi gathering and prepared to upgrade the Netherworld Pearl.

• Luo Qing used the Eye of the Great Dao to discern that Bai Hua’s Metal White Tiger foundation had transformed through the addition of Xin Metal, and suspected she was Fairy Xihua’s clone.

Fairy Xihua revealed that she sought a yang partner to fulfill her Dao Mother path, leaving Luo Qing unsettled by her evident interest in him.
