Chapter Summaries

Xuan Yin proposed that the Human Race pursue prosperity by integrating other peoples through marriage and shared heritage rather than relying on a massacre, prompting the ancestors to consider matchmaking for their descendants.

After retreating into his Spirit Realm to avoid watching eyes, Xuan Yin reflected on how good and evil depended on perspective and developed the Dream of Qiongqi.

• Sect Master Tongtian refined the God-Slaying Flying Knife from Qiongqi Remains and Sky-Opening Sha Qi, sealed Qiongqi’s fierce soul in the God-Slaying Gourd, and warned Xuan Yin to use it only in desperate circumstances.

• After sensing distant gazes, Xuan Yin retreated into the Spirit Realm and considered how good and evil differed according to one’s perspective.
• Xuan Yin gained insight into good and evil as one and right and wrong as divided, then evolved the fourth layer of the dream realm, the Dream of Qiongqi.

Xuan Yin developed the Dream Dao into a Spirit Realm and Spirit Net for cultivation discussions, then learned that Daoist Nether River and the Demon Clan had trapped Hong Yun. He rushed toward Pangu Hall after hearing that Zhen Yuanzi’s Book of Earth had been taken by the Treasure Dropping Golden Coin, suspecting a Sage had intervened.

• Xuan Yin evolved his dreamscape into a Spirit Realm and invited Duobao, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Saint Mother Wu Dang, Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, and other Intercepting Sect Disciples to test its Spirit Net.
• Duobao and the others warned Xuan Yin about the dreamscape’s vulnerabilities, and he demonstrated its defensive powers before they discussed the Dao and helped him improve it.
• Xuan Yin spent tens of thousands of years constructing the Spirit Net, tempering his Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit while striving to perfect the Five Dreams Seven Mind Aspects.
• Di Ting told Xuan Yin that the Demon Clan and Daoist Nether River were plotting against Hong Yun, then reported that Zhen Yuanzi’s formation had been broken and Hong Yun was near death.
• Di Ting explained that Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun had entered An Liuzhou Immortal Island, where Daoist Nether River used the Treasure Dropping Golden Coin to take Zhen Yuanzi’s Book of Earth.
• Xuan Yin suspected that a Sage had arranged the theft to kill Hong Yun and hinder the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ plans for the Earthly Dao, then hurried toward Pangu Hall.

More than twenty Quasi-Saints attacked Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi to seize Hong Yun’s Primordial Violet Qi, while Xuan Yin and Dijang tried to protect them. Hong Yun drew the attackers away and fell, leaving the Primordial Violet Qi exposed to the remaining combatants.

• Xuan Yin told Dijang that Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun were in danger and that the Book of Earth had been taken, so Dijang sent Zhu Jiuyin to summon the other Ancestral Witches and brought Xuan Yin and Ting to Liuzhou Immortal Island.

• Nether trapped Xuan Yin in a Blood River, and Hong Yun teleported Zhen Yuanzi to Xuan Yin before fleeing to draw Dijun, Kun Peng, and Nether away.
• Hong Yun fell after the attackers pursued him, and his Primordial Violet Qi remained in the void as the surviving combatants fought to seize it.

Xuan Yin was pursued by the Primordial Violet Qi while more than twenty Great Divine Ability Users closed in, and he realized that a Sage’s scheme had trapped him. He returned the strand to the Heavenly Dao through a great oath, winning its protection and leaving his pursuers unable to attack.

• Hong Yun self-destructed his primordial spirit, and the Primordial Violet Qi reappeared and began pursuing Xuan Yin as he fled with the injured Zhen Yuanzi.

• The Heavenly Dao accepted Xuan Yin’s oath and shielded him from the attackers, who were left unable to reach him.

Saint Zhunti explained why he had engineered Hong Yun’s fall and worried that Xuan Yin might have uncovered his plans. After Sect Master Tongtian rescued Xuan Yin and Zhen Yuanzi, the Wu Clan and Demon Clan clashed over the Book of Earth, and the chapter ended with the renewed battle between their formations.

• Saint Zhunti reflected that he had arranged Hong Yun’s fall to protect his own path to sainthood and had also schemed against Xuan Yin.
• Sect Master Tongtian struck Mount Sumeru, damaging the Western Teachings’ destiny, then brought Xuan Yin and Zhen Yuanzi back from the West Sea.

• Dijiang revealed that the Twelve Divine Fiend Great Formation could draw on twelve Great Thousand Worlds and ordered the Wu Clan to attack again.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches used their strengthened Pangu True Body to battle the Demon Clan and future Grand Unity Golden Immortals, while the Sages debated whether to intervene. The Purple Cloud Conference ended with the Sages agreeing to impersonate Dao Ancestor Hongjun and use his authority to stop the Witch-Demon War.

• The Twelve Ancestral Witches unleashed the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe against Dijun and the Demon Clan, while Zhu Jiuyin attacked the future Grand Unity Golden Immortals interfering in the battle.

• Daoist Jieyin asked whether the Sages should stop the Wu Clan, but the gathered Sages argued over who would confront the Pangu True Body.
• Daoist Zhunti proposed that one Sage borrow Dao Ancestor Hongjun's name to halt the war, with the four attending Sages sharing responsibility if Hongjun objected later.
• Taishang Laojun and Primordial Heavenly Venerate agreed to Daoist Zhunti's proposal.

The Witch-Demon War ended when four Sages used a Dharma manifestation posing as Hongjun to impose a truce and secure the Book of Earth for Zhen Yuanzi. After reflecting on the Heavenly Dao Sages’ control over the Primordial True Realm, Xuan Yin stayed on Mount Kunlun under Sect Master Tongtian’s protection.

• The Sages created a Dharma manifestation impersonating Hongjun, and it halted the battle between the Witch and Demon Races.
• Zhu Jiuyin agreed to spare the Demon Clan if Nether returned the Book of Earth, and Nether reluctantly handed it over to Zhen Yuanzi.
• The false Hongjun ordered the Witch and Demon Races not to fight for twenty Epochs and decreed that demons would rule the heavens while witches ruled the earth.

• Sect Master Tongtian warned Xuan Yin to remain on Mount Kunlun, and Xuan Yin agreed to stay.

After returning the Primordial Violet Qi to the Heavenly Dao, Xuan Yin received the Earthly Origin Dao Fruit but chose not to refine it, preserving his chance to advance beyond its fixed limit. He completed the Five Dreams Seven Mind Aspects, gained Heart Source Power, and began cultivating toward the Golden Immortal realm, where his Spirit Aspect unexpectedly came alive.

• The Heavenly Dao transferred First Kirin's Earthly Origin Dao Fruit and abundant destiny to Xuan Yin, but Xuan Yin refused to become the Central Earth Origin Holy Monarch because the Dao position would cap his future.
• Xuan Yin completed the Five Dreams Seven Mind Aspects, strengthened his Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, and gained Heart Source Power that could imitate Spiritual Treasures before being depleted.

• Saint Mother Wu Dang explained that Golden Immortal Spirit Aspects reflected cultivators' chosen traits, and revealed that hers had accidentally become a calico cat instead of Divine Lord Jianbing.
• When Xuan Yin tried to condense his own Golden Immortal Spirit Aspect, his Heart Source Power formed a Heart Flower and produced a blue-and-white creature that called itself Dora B Meng.

Xuan Yin manifested Dora B Meng through Heart Source Power and learned that its rule-based tools could help him cross tribulations, though their effects depended on his cultivation. He used the tools to weaken and briefly halt his Golden Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, refined all fifty-four bolts, and emerged with a strengthened Primordial Origin.

• Xuan Yin discovered that Dora B Meng could manifest rule-based tools from Heart Source Power, but their reach and power were limited by Xuan Yin's cultivation.
• Dora B Meng agreed that its tools could help Xuan Yin cross his Golden Immortal tribulation by reducing the lightning's might and briefly freezing time.
• Xuan Yin drew down the Heavenly Tribulation and used the Shrink Ray to weaken its bolts before swallowing and refining their power.
• Sect Master Tongtian and Duobao Daoist witnessed Xuan Yin's method, and Duobao resolved to ask him whether it could help with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal tribulation.
• Xuan Yin refined all fifty-four bolts of Heavenly Tribulation, which strengthened his Primordial Origin.

After Xuan Yin survived his Heavenly Tribulation, his newly awakened spiritual aspect Dora B Meng drew the interest of Duobao Daoist and Sect Master Tongtian. Xuan Yin began Golden Immortal cultivation while staying on Mount Kunlun, then persuaded Sect Master Tongtian to challenge Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s claim to the Ancestral Kunlun Vein and reconsider who should claim future Buddhist merits.

• Duobao Daoist tried to seize Dora B Meng, but the spiritual aspect escaped with strange treasures until Sect Master Tongtian captured and examined him.

Xuan Yin studied the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals and then weighed the dangers of helping the Twelve Ancestral Witches complete the Earthly Dao. He declined to commit to their plan and suggested the Demon Clan might not have to oppose them.

• Xuan Yin connected Ghost Immortal cultivation with the Golden Immortal pursuit of Xi Yi Wei and used a Nine-Turn Yin Soul Pill to transform into a ghost and study the path.
• After tens of thousands of years, Tianwu invited Xuan Yin to Pangu Hall, but Xuan Yin sensed danger and instead summoned the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Zhen Yuanzi into the Spirit Realm.
• Zhu Jiuyin outlined the Wu Clan’s preparations, including Houtu’s cultivation, Xing Tian’s role in the Twelve Divine Fiend Great Formation, and Zhen Yuanzi’s support.
• Xuan Yin warned that Sage and Demon Clan interference made the Earthly Dao plan risky, then questioned the benefits and recalled that Dijiang had previously thrown him out.
• Dijiang offered spirit treasures and a Houtian Supreme Treasure, while Zhu Jiuyin admitted he had revealed Xuan Yin’s abilities; Xuan Yin said the timing was wrong and the Demon Clan might not need to be their enemy.

Xuan Yin proposed that the Wu and Demon Clans cooperate to resist the Sages’ predetermined heavenly fate, and showed Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi visions of twenty reincarnations to win their trust. He offered to save the Demon Clan’s nine princes during the Ten Suns disaster and suggested their later reincarnation into the Human Race, leaving the secret alliance under consideration.

• Xuan Yin entered Wu Zhiqi’s dream, promised to mediate his freedom, and asked him to introduce him to Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
• Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi entered Xuan Yin’s dream, where Xuan Yin showed them visions of the Witch and Demon Clans’ futures across twenty reincarnations.

• Xuan Yin invited the Demon Emperors to cooperate with the Wu Clan and offered to leave the Demon Clan’s nine princes a chance to survive the Ten Suns disaster.
• Dijun questioned Xuan Yin’s concern for the Human Race, and Xuan Yin said the nine princes could eventually reincarnate into it.

Xuan Yin persuaded Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi to cooperate with the Wu Clan by offering the Demon Clan a way to preserve a sliver of survival through the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals. He secured the Immortal-Slaying Gourd in exchange, but Dijun’s demand to confront Tianwu threatened to expose Xuan Yin’s role in spreading rumors, so Xuan Yin changed the subject by asking a favor for Wu Zhiqi.

• Xuan Yin explained that the Demon Clan could evade its enemies’ plans by choosing how and where to die, and he gave Dijun a Jade Slip containing insights into the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals.
• Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi considered the risks of cooperating with the Wu Clan, while Xuan Yin explained the limits and costs of future Grand Unity beings acting across time.

• Xuan Yin asked Dijun for a favor on Wu Zhiqi’s behalf.

Tongtian secured Yuanshi's Innate Gourd and forced the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to split into three treasures, leaving the brothers' division unsettled.

• Dijun agreed to return Wu Zhiqi's True Spirit and arranged for him to bring the Immortal-Slaying Gourd to Xuan Yin.

Sect Master Tongtian prepared to move the Jie Sect from Mount Kunlun after securing treasures from Taishang Laojun and Primordial Heavenly Venerate. As Xuan Yin began taking the land and severing the Kunlun earth veins, he defeated the Exposition Sect disciples who tried to stop him, leaving Randeng and Daoist Nanji facing him.

• Sect Master Tongtian told his disciples he would take them to Golden Ao Island in a hundred years and let Xuan Yin decide what to take from Mount Kunlun.
• Xuan Yin, Duobao Daoist, and Zhao Gongming looted Mount Kunlun, and the other Jie Sect disciples joined them.

• Duobao Daoist and Zhao Gongming arrived, and Randeng questioned Xuan Yin about severing the Kunlun earth veins.

Xuan Yin suspected the offer was a scheme to shift the Dragon Race’s karmic burden, and Ancestor Dragon proposed a Heavenly Dao Divine Contract in exchange for insights into the Primordial Human Dao.
