• Tongtian asked Xuanyuan when they should join their Second Brother and besiege Old Ancestor Five Elements for nearly killing their disciples.
• Xuanyuan refused to involve their elder brothers and said he would kill Old Ancestor Five Elements himself after proving the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, prompting Tongtian to ask if he was close to a breakthrough.

Xuanyuan explained why he was postponing his breakthrough to become a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal until his body, primordial spirit, and laws were perfected. Candle Dragon arrived at Biyu Palace, where he greeted Xuanyuan and Tongtian and began explaining his delayed visit by revealing a treasure lamp.

• Candle Dragon said injuries from pursuing a supreme treasure after the treasures were distributed had delayed his visit to congratulate Tongtian on establishing Jiejiao.
• Candle Dragon brought out an Innate Yin Yang Jade treasure lamp that displayed the Dao-rhythm of the Innate Two Forms.

Candle Dragon revealed that he had stolen the Yin Yang Two Forms Lamp from Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, but an unseen Hunyuan force had stopped him from attacking them.

Candle Dragon told Xuanyuan and Tongtian that the Dragon Race had withdrawn from the Primordial World’s struggle, while they discussed the danger surrounding Hong Yun and the final Hongmeng Purple Qi. Zhen Yuanzi had brought Hong Yun to Wuzhuang Temple and warned him to stay inside its protective formation, but the chapter ended hinting that Hong Yun might not heed him.

• Candle Dragon announced that the Dragon Race had left the Donghua Immortal Court and would avoid the Kalpa Tribulation’s power struggle.
• Xuanyuan explained that the orthodox struggle for Human Path supremacy was a dead end and said Zhen Yuanzi’s formation could protect Hong Yun if he stayed at Longevity Mountain.
• Tongtian pointed out that Hong Yun’s final Hongmeng Purple Qi had made him a target for the Primordial World’s powerful cultivators.
• Zhen Yuanzi had brought Hong Yun from Huoyun Cave to Wuzhuang Temple and taught him how to operate the Earth Vein Defense Great Formation.
• Zhen Yuanzi warned Hong Yun never to leave the temple and promised to help him pursue Hunyuan after his return.
• The narrator suggested that Zhen Yuanzi had underestimated Hong Yun’s faith in his own luck.

Hong Yun left Wuzhuang Temple for Mount Sumeru, believing Jie Yin and Zhun Ti would help him understand the Hunyuan Dao and protect him. Jie Yin concealed his journey from the Heavenly Dao so the two Saints could kill him and erase the karmic debt they owed him, though Zhun Ti hesitated.

• Frustrated that his fellow Purple Heaven Palace guests had become Saints while he remained a Quasi-Saint, Hong Yun decided to visit Jie Yin and Zhun Ti for guidance.
• Hong Yun used Zhen Yuanzi's jade talisman to slip through Longevity Mountain's formation and flew west, unaware that countless Spiritual Senses had detected his departure and a Heavenly Net was closing around him.
• At Mount Sumeru, Jie Yin hid Hong Yun's trail from the Heavenly Dao and declared that they would settle their karmic debt once and for all.
• Zhun Ti urged Jie Yin to reconsider, reminding him that Hong Yun had given up his seat for them and was genuinely a good person.
• Zhun Ti realized Jie Yin intended to kill Hong Yun so the debt would disappear with him.

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti decided to let the Yao Race and other powers pursue Hong Yun rather than directly repay their debt to him. Di Jun planned to use Kunpeng to stir up a fight over the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and Kunpeng ambushed Hong Yun as he traveled west.

• Jie Yin argued that the Western Sages could not bear the karma they owed Hong Yun and said they should let others act instead of betraying him directly.
• Jie Yin concealed Hong Yun's departure from Zhen Yuanzi and watched the Yao Race Heavenly Court, where Di Jun and Tai Yi were tracking Hong Yun.
• Di Jun told Tai Yi to have their subordinates block Hong Yun's return route and drive him west, then wait for their rivals to weaken each other before claiming the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• Tai Yi sent a Golden Crow Edict to Strategist Bai Ze, while Hong Yun traveled west unaware that danger awaited him.
• Kunpeng emerged from the void and struck at Hong Yun with a claw surrounded by Wind Blades and Dark Waters.

Kunpeng ambushed Hong Yun and nearly killed him while trying to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Hong Yun used the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Red Gourd to force Kunpeng back briefly and fled toward Longevity Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple, regretting that he had ignored the warnings.

• Kunpeng ambushed Hong Yun, grievously wounding him with Wind and Water Laws and corrupting his meridians with Black Water and Wind Blades.
• Kunpeng blamed Hong Yun for costing him the Hongmeng Purple Qi at Purple Heaven Palace and attacked to take Hong Yun's life and treasure.
• Kunpeng split into a great kun and a Golden-winged Great Peng, using the Northern Sea Banner and Sea Covering Cloak to trap Hong Yun and tear apart his Dao body.
• Hong Yun summoned the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Red Gourd, and its Soul Scattering Red Sand forced Kunpeng to withdraw temporarily.
• Hong Yun abandoned his journey west and fled toward Longevity Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple, regretting that he had ignored the warnings.

Hong Yun fled Kunpeng but was trapped by the Eight Great Yao Marshals, who had blocked his route east under orders from the Yao Race’s rulers. As Kunpeng pursued him west and Hong Yun neared death, a dazzling purple starlight appeared, interrupting the impending capture.

As Kumoku moved to claim Hongmeng Purple Qi, Dong Wang Gong and Ziwei Star Lord prepared to join forces against him, leaving a battle on the verge of breaking out.

• Kumoku unfurled the Ten Thousand Withered Wood Yuan Banner, draining vitality from the surrounding land and forcing Kunpeng, Ziwei Star Lord, and Dong Wang Gong to retreat.
• Hong Yun realized that he had been trapped in a death situation since leaving Longevity Mountain, while Kunpeng, Kumoku, Ziwei Star Lord, and Dong Wang Gong faced off over him and the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• Dong Wang Gong and Ziwei Star Lord agreed to confront Kumoku together, and Dong Wang Gong unleashed a strengthened Pure Yang palm with the Jingyang Bell’s power.

Old Monster Kumoku overwhelmed Dong Wang Gong and Ziwei Star Lord, and Kunpeng ambushed Ziwei as the four powerful figures clashed. Hong Yun seized the chaos to unleash his Soul Scattering Red Sand and burn his remaining origin, making a desperate bid to escape and deliver the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Zhen Yuanzi.

• Ziwei Star Lord and Dong Wang Gong launched a combined attack, but Old Monster Kumoku dissolved it and badly wounded Dong Wang Gong.
• Kunpeng ambushed Ziwei Star Lord while Old Monster Kumoku restrained his sword, cracking the Ziwei Star Tower’s shield and injuring Ziwei.
• Dong Wang Gong, Ziwei Star Lord, Old Monster Kumoku, and Kunpeng fought in a chaotic stalemate as Hong Yun lay nearly dead and unguarded.

• Hong Yun unleashed all the Soul Scattering Red Sand from his gourd, forcing the four fighters to withdraw and resist its effects.

Hong Yun fled west after escaping the battlefield, while Old Monster Kumoku tried to turn Ziwei Star Lord against Dong Wang Gong to seize his essence and the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Ziwei rejected the offer, stood with Dong Wang Gong, and affirmed that loyalty mattered more to him than gain.

• Hong Yun escaped west toward the Saints, hoping they would protect him until Zhen Yuan arrived.

Dong Wang Gong and Ziwei Star Lord fought Old Monster Kumoku while Kunpeng used their distraction to pursue the weakened Hong Yun. Hong Yun reached Mount Sumeru but was denied entry by Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, leaving him stranded outside as his strength failed.

• Dong Wang Gong and Ziwei Star Lord fought Old Monster Kumoku with their treasures, but neither side could gain the advantage.
• Dong Wang Gong was unable to break away from the battle, while Kunpeng slipped westward to catch Hong Yun and seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
• Hong Yun burned his remaining essence to reach Mount Sumeru, believing Jie Yin and Zhun Ti would shelter him because he had once given up his seat for them.
• A barrier stopped Hong Yun ten thousand li from Mount Sumeru, and his attacks could not break through it.
• Hong Yun begged Jie Yin and Zhun Ti to open the gates, but the Saints left Mount Sumeru sealed while distant chanting continued beyond the barrier.

Kunpeng revealed that Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had helped trap Hong Yun so they could erase their debt to him, leaving Hong Yun betrayed and cornered outside Mount Sumeru. Hong Yun cursed the Western Sages and the Yao Race with his life, then self-destructed to keep the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Kunpeng.

• Kunpeng confronted Hong Yun outside Mount Sumeru and explained that Jie Yin and Zhun Ti had Concealed Heavenly Secrets and helped arrange his capture.
• Hong Yun realized the Two Sages of the West had betrayed him because his life kept their debt for the surrendered Saint Position unresolved.
• Hong Yun sacrificed his fortune, Dao Foundation, and Origin of Fire to curse Jie Yin and Zhun Ti with unstable Saint Positions and karmic ruin.
• Hong Yun used his broken body to curse Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the Yao Race Heavenly Court with eventual collapse and eternal disgrace.
• Hong Yun lamented that he had ignored Zhen Yuanzi's advice, then detonated his soul to prevent Kunpeng and the Yao Race from obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
