• Dao Ancestor Hongjun watched the battle in Chaos and decided the Sages needed a warning for their growing ambitions.

• Hongjun explained that Taishang Laojun had formed an unfinished Taishang Dao Fruit and that he had deliberately lost to Nuwa; Xuan Yin considered how these paths might inform his own cultivation.
• Yang Mei used the Time Great Dao to restore the Music Demon God, then revealed his Space-Time Unity and declared the Sages could not defeat him.
• Hongjun appeared and offered Yang Mei the position of a Heavenly Dao Sage, but Yang Mei rejected the offer and challenged the Sages to question their subordination to Hongjun.

Great Immortal Yang Mei battled Hongjun's Dao Body over the Primordial World's origin, then withdrew after their Chaos treasures clashed. Hongjun rewarded Xuan Yin with the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd and expelled him from Purple Firmament Palace, prompting Xuan Yin to travel back to its third sermon.

• Xuan Yin traveled upstream through time and space toward the era of Purple Firmament Palace's third sermon so he could listen to Dao Ancestor Hongjun preach.

Xuan Yin visited Purple Firmament Palace during its first lecture and proposed that Yaochi pursue the Fuxi Dao Fruit, become Human Emperor, and then make the Heavenly Emperor position open to rotation. Yaochi agreed to consider the plan and asked Xuan Yin to help hold the Heavenly Court, while he saw an opportunity to serve as Heavenly Emperor himself.

• Xuan Yin arrived at Purple Firmament Palace during its first lecture and encountered future Yaochi, who questioned him about the Dao Ancestor’s favor and invited him to join the Heavenly Court.
• Xuan Yin asked whether Yaochi wanted to be Heavenly Emperor in her own right or on Haotian’s behalf, then outlined the kingly, hegemonic, Imperial, and saintly paths.
• Xuan Yin proposed that Yaochi negotiate with Fu Xi to make the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit open-source and allow the position to rotate, potentially letting her hold both the Human Emperor and Heavenly Emperor fruitions.
• Yaochi resolved to pursue the plan before Haotian returned, and Xuan Yin suggested she first attain the Fuxi Dao Fruit and become a Human Emperor.
• Yaochi asked Xuan Yin to help support the Heavenly Court while she pursued the Human Emperor path, and Xuan Yin considered taking a turn as Heavenly Emperor to reshape the Demon Ancestor Dao Fruit.

Yaochi recruited Xuan Yin to serve as Heavenly Chancellor in exchange for treasures and a chance to study the Myriad Spirits Altar. At Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s first sermon, Xuan Yin sat beside the Cloud Bed, formed the embryonic Wind Origin Dao Fruit, and stayed in the Purple Firmament Palace to cultivate until the next sermon.

• After Yaochi and Haotian entered the Purple Firmament Palace, Xuan Yin sat beside Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s Cloud Bed instead of competing for the six front prayer mats.
• The Three Pure Ones, Empress Nuwa, Kun Peng, Hong Yun, and other Grand Unity Golden Immortals took their seats, while Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti persuaded Hong Yun to yield his and knocked Kun Peng from his.
• Dao Ancestor Hongjun tacitly approved Xuan Yin’s seat and began preaching; Xuan Yin entered a state of enlightenment and formed the embryonic Wind Origin Dao Fruit over three thousand years.
• When Hongjun announced that the next sermon would come in five epochs, the other cultivators departed, but Xuan Yin remained in the Purple Firmament Palace to refine his Wind Origin Dao Fruit.

Xuan Yin condensed a Grand Unity-level Wind Origin Dao Fruit, transformed the Five-Needle Pine with Jianmu’s source, and gained new insights at Hongjun’s second lecture. After the lecture, Shao Hao approached him, leaving Xuan Yin wondering how Shao Hao would claim the White Emperor authority from Bai Zhao Ju, who served the Heavenly Court.

• Xuan Yin used the Western Wind God’s authority and his knowledge of many Great Daos to condense the Wind Origin Dao Fruit, then glimpsed the Primal Unity Great Dao through the Heavenly Dao.
• Xuan Yin infused Jianmu’s source into the Five-Needle Pine, transforming it into a Heaven and Earth spiritual root that helped the Spirit Realm develop.
• Xuan Yin spent five Epochs cultivating in Purple Firmament Palace before attending Hongjun’s second lecture and gaining insights into the Method of Severing the Three Corpses.
• Xuan Yin reflected on Grand Unity, karma, and how future causes and fruits could influence the past, while resolving to refine the Chaos Gourd before severing a corpse.
• After Hongjun moved the listeners outside Purple Firmament Palace, Shao Hao introduced himself to Xuan Yin, who wondered how he would obtain the White Emperor Dao Fruit while Bai Zhao Ju remained a Heavenly Court official.

After Shao Hao complained that Xuan Yin had saddled him with the White Emperor Dao Fruit, Xuan Yin avoided taking responsibility and decided to stay wary of the fruit and its karmic ties. At the Treasure Distribution Rock, he studied spiritual treasures alongside Duobao Daoist and Yun Zhongzi, then proposed cutting off part of the rock and sharing it.

• Shao Hao revealed the White Emperor Dao Fruit and blamed Xuan Yin for saddling him with its burden, but Xuan Yin denied responsibility and resolved to keep his distance from Shao Hao, Bai Zhao Ju, and the fruit.
• After Shao Hao left, Xuan Yin remained outside the Purple Firmament Palace and went to the Treasure Distribution Rock to study its spiritual treasures.

• Xuan Yin studied several Innate Banners and other spiritual treasures, deriving laws and divine fires for his cultivation.
• Duobao Daoist asked Xuan Yin what else they could take, and Xuan Yin proposed cutting off part of the Treasure Distribution Rock and sharing it with everyone present.

Xuan Yin, Duobao Daoist, and Yun Zhongzi harvested Chaos Immortal Gold from Treasure Distribution Rock and used it to refine powerful Houtian Spiritual Treasures. Duobao opened the Twenty-Four Heavens with a replica of the Qiankun Ruler, and after ten Epochs the Purple Cloud Palace gates opened again.

• Xuan Yin cut nine pieces of Chaos Immortal Gold from Treasure Distribution Rock with Duobao Daoist and Yun Zhongzi helping suppress the surrounding void, and he divided them among the three.
• Xuan Yin used one piece of immortal gold and the remains of Dijun's nine sons to refine the Heaven Burning Treasure Mirror, while Duobao Daoist and Yun Zhongzi gained insights and refined their own treasures.
• Sect Master Tongtian gave Zhao Gongming the Purple Lightning Hammer and transferred the twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls to Duobao Daoist, who used Chaos Immortal Gold to make a replica Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler.

• Yun Zhongzi refined the Soul Stirring Bell, Two Forms Mirror, and Profound Yellow Dao Protecting Banner, and the three spent ten Epochs discussing the Dao and refining treasures before the Purple Cloud Palace gates opened.

At Purple Heaven Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun taught the methods of attaining the Dao, established the Immortal Dao, and distributed treasures, while Xuan Yin and his companions secretly cut pieces from the Treasure Distribution Rock. Their actions destabilized the Chaos Floating Island and sent Xuan Yin fleeing into the Gate of Myriad Wonders, leaving Yun Zhongzi to face the Sages’ accusations.

• Dao Ancestor Hongjun taught the method of Three Corpses Unification and other paths to the Dao, then established the Zhou Tian Five Immortals and Nine Primordial Immortals and bestowed discipleships, Primordial Violet Qi, and treasures.
• Xuan Yin and the other cultivators rushed to the Treasure Distribution Rock, where several Innate Spiritual Treasures went to the Sages and other Great Powers, while Hong Yun obtained none.
• As cultivators fought over the remaining treasures, the Chaos Floating Island trembled, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate suspected that pieces of the Treasure Distribution Rock were missing.
• Xuan Yin blamed Yun Zhongzi for the damage, but Yun Zhongzi revealed that Xuan Yin had cut the rock with the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler and that he and Duobao Daoist had taken Chaos Immortal Gold to refine treasures.
• Xuan Yin escaped into the Gate of Myriad Wonders and Duobao Daoist fled, leaving Yun Zhongzi to face the Sages while they argued over who was responsible.
• Primordial Heavenly Venerate restored Purple Heaven Palace and the Chaos Floating Island to their original timeline, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun replaced the Treasure Distribution Rock before a sign appeared forbidding Xuan Yin and dogs from entering.

Xuan Yin escaped into the Gate of Myriad Wonders and developed the embryonic Holy Law Heavenly Demon Dao Fruit, hoping to refine the laws of Heaven, Earth, and humanity. After realizing he would need the Fuxi, Heavenly Emperor, and Nether Lord Dao Fruits to pursue his plans, he left to visit Yaochi.

• Hongjun exempted the Primordial Dog Clan from his ban on Xuan Yin, allowing its members to call themselves the Primordial Hound Clan.

• Xuan Yin formed the embryonic Holy Law Heavenly Demon Dao Fruit and planned to improve the rules of the Heavenly Court, Underworld, and Human Dao Divine Dynasty.
• Xuan Yin left the Gate of Myriad Wonders to visit Yaochi.

Xuan Yin persuaded Yaochi to pursue the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit through an edict from former Heavenly Emperor Dijun, and accepted spiritual treasures in exchange for helping her. Yaochi revealed that the treasures tied Xuan Yin to the Red Luan Star Lord’s karmic fate and warned that several Sages might be manipulating the stars and people involved; Xuan Yin left to seek Dijun.

• Xuan Yin met Yaochi in the Heavenly Court and learned she could not open-source the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit without first claiming the throne.
• Xuan Yin proposed obtaining an edict from Dijun ceding the Heavenly Emperor’s authority to Yaochi, and she agreed to his terms.
• Yaochi gave Xuan Yin the Four Seas Vase and Qiankun Needle, which had belonged to Princess Long Ji, the reincarnation of the Red Luan Star Lord.
• Yaochi explained that accepting the Mist Dew Qiankun Net had already bound Xuan Yin to the Red Luan Star Lord’s karmic ties, and revealed Haotian’s earlier schemes against him.
• Yaochi suggested that Sages were manipulating the marriage-related stars and the fates of Long Ji, Hong Jin, Di Xin, and Bo Yikao.
• Xuan Yin left Yaochi to seek Dijun and arrange for Yaochi to obtain the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit.

Xuan Yin found Dijun hiding in the Underworld with Houtu, where Dijun revealed that he had become the thirteenth Ancestral Witch. They discussed open-sourcing the Heavenly Emperor and Nether Lord Dao Fruits, and Xuan Yin left for Yaochi with Taiyi and Dijun’s Demon Emperor Seals.

• Xuan Yin deduced that Houtu was the most likely Sage to conceal Dijun and went to the Underworld to ask her where he was.
• Houtu revealed Dijun, who explained that he had become the thirteenth Ancestral Witch to evade the Sages searching for him.
• Dijun and Houtu described their mistrust of Nuwa’s plans and discussed the risks of supporting her efforts to awaken the Humanity Dao.
• Xuan Yin proposed using Dijun’s former authority to let Yaochi open-source the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit, and Dijun gave him Taiyi and his Demon Emperor Seals.
• Xuan Yin suggested that Houtu open-source the Nether Lord Dao Fruit, arguing that the Sages were already encroaching on the Underworld.
• Houtu considered adding safeguards to limit the Sages, while Xuan Yin took the two seals to Yaochi Holy Land.

Yaochi received two Demon Emperor Seals from Xuan Yin and went to ask Nuwa for the other two, while Xuan Yin returned to Golden Ao Island and completed his Xiantian Bagua cultivation. He reversed into the Taiyi Dao Era to prove the Fu Xi Dao Fruit, where Fu Xi and Nuwa’s imprints challenged him to fight for the right to become Fu Xi and the second Human Emperor.

• Yaochi thanked Xuan Yin for the two Demon Emperor Seals, and he advised her to request the other two from Nuwa herself.
• Xuan Yin returned to Golden Ao Island, comprehended the Ze Dui divine ability, and brought his Xiantian Bagua to major completion.
• Xuan Yin realized the Houtian Bagua could be derived from the Xiantian Bagua, but decided not to spread it because doing so could draw the Heavenly Dao’s backlash.
• Xuan Yin used the Taiyi Seal to reverse beyond the beginning of Taixu and reach the Taiyi Dao Era, where he found the Fu Xi Dao Fruit.
• Fu Xi and Nuwa’s imprints told Xuan Yin that he had to defeat prior claimants to prove the Fu Xi Dao Fruit and gain the second Human Emperor’s authority, then attacked him with Taiyi Divine Thunders.
• Xuan Yin used Void Swamp and Luotian Auspicious Clouds to withstand the attack, but recognized that defeating both imprints would be difficult.

Xuan Yin fought the Fu Xi and Nuwa imprints in the Taiyi Dao Era and reshaped his body into a Chaos Fuxi True Body. After splitting the imprints apart and turning Fu Xi’s own Bagua powers against him, Xuan Yin defeated them and attained the Fuxi Dao Fruit as the Third Generation Fu Xi.

• Xuan Yin studied Fu Xi’s Dao Body during their battle and fused Chaos traits into his own Fuxi True Body, creating Chaos Dragon Scales.
• Fu Xi and Nuwa joined forces with the Dragon-Snake Combination Attack, blasting Xuan Yin away with power beyond the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint level.
• Xuan Yin created Jin Yin and Yin Yin with Heart Source Power, sending them to separate and fight the Fu Xi and Nuwa imprints.

• The Fuxi Dao Fruit connected with Xuan Yin and bestowed its authority, making him the Third Generation Fu Xi.

After attaining the Fuxi Dao Fruit, Xuan Yin discovered that the Humanity Dao was being eroded by desire and was flawed at its roots. He resolved to recreate it from scratch, but the chapter left him unable to see how to begin without someone undergoing Dao Integration.

• Xuan Yin left behind a powerful imprint of Chaos Fuxi, along with imprints of Jin Yin and Yin Yin, to challenge future seekers of the Fuxi Dao Fruit.
• Xuan Yin used purification power on the Humanity Dao, but the Five-Colored Divine Light revealed how the First Five Emperors' flaws had infected it.
• Xuan Yin concluded that the Humanity Dao developed by the Jiutou Clan was flawed and that its growth could ultimately lead to its collapse.
• Xuan Yin considered opening a separate Humanity Dao, but realized it would need a powerful being to undergo Dao Integration.
• Xuan Yin rejected the danger of placing his fate in others' hands and sighed that recreating the Humanity Dao was easier said than done.

Xuan Yin considered who might evolve the New Human Dao, then returned to Golden Ao Island and transformed the God-Slaying Gourd into his Evil Corpse. He merged the corpse and gourd with the Chaos Gourd to create the Saint Law Gourd, forming a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, though he remained at its early stage.

• Xuan Yin decided Ancestor Dragon was the best candidate to evolve the New Human Dao and planned to test his attitude after returning to the Primordial World.
• On Golden Ao Island, Xuan Yin began severing his Evil Corpse with the God-Slaying Gourd, using his understanding of evil thoughts and the Method of Severing the Three Corpses.
• Xuan Yin bestowed the Water Origin Dao Fruit on the Evil Corpse, giving it late-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal cultivation, then prepared to merge it and the God-Slaying Gourd into the Chaos Gourd.
• Xuan Yin used Heavenly Dao Power, the Xiantian Bagua, and the Heavenly Origin Cauldron to fuse the two gourds over thirty thousand years.
• Xuan Yin named the fused treasure the Saint Law Gourd, absorbed the Water Origin Dao Fruit's profundities into his Law Dao Fruit, and formed a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal Dao Fruit that remained at the early stage.

Xuan Yin refined the Saint Law Gourd and opened a Dao Fruit Open-Source Zone, while Yaochi publicly opened the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit and claimed authority over the Heavenly Court. Haotian, angered by the loss of destiny and seeking the Fuxi Dao Fruit, accepted help from True Person Du E and Taishang Laojun.

• Xuan Yin completed the Saint Law Gourd, which enhanced the God-Slaying Flying Knife and removed the gourd’s baleful-aura backlash.
• Xuan Yin opened the Wind Origin Dao Fruit and his Fuxi Dao Fruit insights on the Myriad Realms Trading Platform, then urged Yaochi to open-source the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit.
• Yaochi declared that the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit was open to all, setting terms for future rulers of the Heavenly Court and receiving merit and destiny from the Heavenly Dao.
• Haotian realized Yaochi’s action had weakened his destiny and considered using the Fuxi Dao Fruit to seize control of the Human Dao Divine Dynasty.
• True Person Du E revealed Haotian’s identity and offered him insights from the Trading Platform and Taishang Laojun, and Haotian accepted both Jade Slips.

Xuan Yin weighed the competition over the Fuxi and Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruits before Yaochi appointed him temporary manager of the Heavenly Court. As he explained the route to the Heavenly Emperor position, Shakya was born at Mount Sumeru, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed his name.

• Xuan Yin noticed Taishang Laojun had openly purchased insights into attaining the Fuxi Dao Fruit and wondered what the Sage intended.
• Yaochi revealed two conditions for attaining the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit and withheld the third, then entered seclusion and appointed Xuan Yin to manage the Heavenly Court.
• Xuan Yin told the Heavenly Court gods that Yaochi planned to attain the Fuxi Dao Fruit and explained that aspiring Heavenly Emperors first had to become Human Emperors and gain the Heavenly Dao's recognition.
• A burst of golden light rose from Mount Sumeru as Prajna Buddha Mother's child was born, and the Two Sages of the West activated the Bodhi Great Formation to protect him.
• The Heavenly Dao sensed the birth of the first child conceived by a Sage's evil corpse and named him Shakya.

Shakya was born on Mount Sumeru with unprecedented wisdom, quickly mastering the Western Teachings and methods from the Three Sects of the Mystic Gate. Xuan Yin and Ksitigarbha visited Empress Nuwa to learn why Shakya was so exceptional, and she warned that his connection to both the Heavenly Dao and Humanity Dao could bring him calamity, possibly even toward the Demonic Dao.

• The Heavenly Dao named the newborn Shakya, making him the foremost successor to Shakyamuni and pushing Xuan Yin down one place in the Buddhist Sect's succession order.
• Shakya was born a Great Enlightened Golden Immortal with all ten apertures connected, and he mastered most Western Teachings methods in less than ten thousand years.
• Shakya then mastered numerous methods from the Three Sects of the Mystic Gate through the Myriad Realms Trading Platform and Universal Communication Space.
• Ksitigarbha told Xuan Yin about Shakya's astonishing wisdom and asked him to accompany him to Tai Su Heaven to speak with Empress Nuwa.
• Empress Nuwa explained that Shakya's wisdom might come from the combined influence of Humanity Dao and the Heavenly Dao, but warned that his perfection could bring calamity or lead him toward the Demonic Dao.
• Ksitigarbha worried about Shakya's possible fall, while Xuan Yin welcomed the prospect because it could increase the Demonic Dao's fortune.

Empress Nuwa explained to Xuan Yin how rulers and teachers gathered cultivation insights from countless followers, giving him ideas for advancing his own cultivation. She then ordered him to serve as Human Emperor for ten Epochs while she used his identity to attain the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit, and sent him away to prepare.

• Empress Nuwa questioned Xuan Yin about neglecting his post in the Human Dao Divine Dynasty, and he explained that he was assisting Yaochi and studying cultivation.
• Empress Nuwa explained how Dijun and Taiyi, Tongtian, Ancestor Dragon, and Nether drew insights from their followers, prompting Xuan Yin to consider creating a system to benefit his own cultivation.
• Empress Nuwa asked Xuan Yin to act in her stead and attain the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit under his identity, while he replaced her incarnation as Human Emperor for ten Epochs.
• Xuan Yin protested that Nuwa could choose one of her own Quasi-Saint attendants, but agreed after she promised future benefits.
• Empress Nuwa said her incarnation would attain the Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit in Xuan Yin's name in thirty thousand years, then sent him out of Tai Su Heaven.
