• As Sect Master Tongtian’s preaching approached, Xuan Yin gave Duobao Daoist rules requiring Jie Sect applicants to swear Heavenly Dao Great Oaths, with calamities awaiting those who accumulated excessive killing karma.
• The oath requirement drove many applicants away, so Xuan Yin directed some toward the West; tens of thousands of years later, Daoist Zhunti regretted that the newcomers were too weak to help revitalize the West and would consume its resources.

Xuan Yin planned for the Earthly Dao’s revival, transformed the Spirit Realm into a Middle Thousand World, and used the Great Dao of Dreams to draw on the Golden Crows’ cultivation insights.

Xuan Yin used the Bright Divine Banner to awaken and command the Dragon Person True Spirits, setting them to perfect his Spirit Realm and absorb their cultivation insights. Their contributions helped him break through to the Divine Path Grand Unity Realm, leaving him questioning whether he would unify with the Dao or rise above it.

• Xuan Yin refined the Bright Divine Banner, made it the Spirit Net’s core, and had the Spirit Realm Heavenly Dao awaken the Dragon Person True Spirits.

• Xuan Yin compared the Grand Unity Realm to a weakened Heavenly Dao Sage and wondered whether he should unify with the Dao or make the Dao unify with him.

Xuan Yin deepened his understanding of his own Dao and judged that any attempt to reach Grand Unity required near certainty, while the Witch and Demon Clans prepared for the coming calamity. As he worried that damaged western earth veins would undermine the Earthly Dao, Di Ting suggested that the Dragon Race’s innate true dragons might restore them, leaving Xuan Yin to suspect Nuwa had prompted the idea.

• Xuan Yin realized that he had to seek his own Dao, used the Heavenly Unity Dao Fruit to deepen his Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit, and concluded that he should not attempt a Grand Unity breakthrough without a ninety-eight percent chance of success.

• Di Ting told Xuan Yin that innate true dragons had originated from Pangu’s Meridians and might restore western earth veins through Dao Integration, prompting Xuan Yin to suspect Nuwa wanted him to contact the Dragon Race.

Xuan Yin arranged for Duobao Daoist to restore the Western Earth Veins using five hundred dragon corpses, earning merit for himself, the Dragon Race, and Duobao. Duobao completed the restoration, drew the attention of the Sages, and broke through to Grand Unity with a nine-petaled Dao flower that revealed his potential to become a Sage.

• Xuan Yin summoned Ancestor Dragon into a dream and proposed restoring the Western Earth Veins to reduce the Dragon Race's karmic burden.

Duobao Daoist linked the eastern and western ancestral veins, reached Grand Unity, and received the merit and destiny promised to Xuan Yin, though the Heavenly Dao reclaimed it. Xuan Yin then arranged for Duobao to obtain Zhao Gongming’s Sea Calming Pearls, shifting Daoist Randeng’s conflict with Zhao Gongming into a struggle within the Buddhist Sect.

• Duobao Daoist used five hundred dragon corpses to link Mount Sumeru, Buzhou Mountain, and West Kunlun, then broke through to Grand Unity and chose neither Buddhism nor the Dao.

Rulai gained the upper hand as their battle shook the Buddhist sacred land, while the watching Buddhas and Bodhisattvas treated the clash as a spectacle.

• Daoist Randeng sought Primordial Heavenly Venerate's guidance, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate directed him to the Garden of Solitude because the matter concerned the Buddhist Sect.
• Daoist Randeng saw the Twenty-Four Heavens behind World-Honored One Rulai and accused Rulai of taking the Sea Calming Pearls that he considered his own.

• World-Honored One Rulai unleashed the Great Sumeru Fist, and the two Buddha Ancestors' battle shook the Garden of Solitude as Victorious Fighting Buddha and other onlookers watched and cheered.

Buddha Patriarch Randeng and World-Honored One Rulai fought over the Twenty-Four Sea Calming Pearls until Amitabha intervened and awarded Randeng the Nirvana Dharma Wheel. On Golden Ao Island, Xuan Yin helped Duobao plan to gain merit from the Kirin Clan, then completed his Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and awakened the Blazing Fire divine ability.

• Maitreya refused to stop Randeng and Rulai from fighting, hoping their conflict would create a chance for him to rise within the Buddhist Sect.
• Amitabha separated Randeng and Rulai, ruled that the Sea Calming Pearls belonged to Duobao, and gave Randeng the Nirvana Dharma Wheel as compensation.
• After returning to the present world, Randeng considered killing the Duobao Daoist of that time but realized that Rulai and the Sage on Golden Ao Island would prevent him.

After perfecting his Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, Xuan Yin discovered that his Primordial Origin let him draw on a Saint’s power and examine futures tied to his path to Grand Unity. He erased a timeline created by Pan Wang’s curse, consolidated it into his own future, and began the Grand Unity tribulation while wondering whether the Chaos Bead had helped a Chaos Demon God escape Pangu.

• Xuan Yin demonstrated how his Prairie Fire shifted from scattered sparks into a blaze capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas.

• Xuan Yin considered whether the Chaos Bead had allowed a Chaos Demon God to escape Pangu’s slaughter.

As Xuan Yin joined the Wu Clan at Buzhou Mountain to open the Netherworld gateway, the chapter ended with the truce deadline arriving and a roar shaking the Nether Blood Sea.

• Sect Master Tongtian declared that he would personally guide Duobao Daoist through Transforming Barbarians into Buddhas and use the merit to refine the Vajra Ring, then teased that he might join the Western Sect.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches opened the Netherworld Portal above the Blood Sea and began channeling its waters into Yellow Springs, while Xuan Yin sought to awaken the Earthly Dao. As the Sages moved to stop the plan, Dijun led the Demon Clan in attacking Zhunti and declared his intent to overturn the Sages’ control, with Golden Mother joining him.

As Houtu began her plan to transform into Samsara, Zhunti tried to stop the Wu Clan and its allies, but Nether River turned against him and disarmed him at a critical moment.

• Taiqing and Nuwa sensed Humanity Dao reviving amid the Grand Unity Golden Immortals' reaction to Dijun revealing Epoch Reincarnation, and Taiqing decided to leave the Primordial World’s affairs to the other Sages.

She defeated Zhunti by cutting off his access to the Heavenly Dao, while she granted Zhen Yuanzi, Xuan Yin, and Daoist Nether River Profound Yellow Ancestral Roots that linked them to the Earthly Dao.

• Zhunti fought the Pangu True Body while Zhu Jiuyin promised Nether that the Twelve Ancestors of the Witch Clan would keep him safe and help settle the dispute over Hong Yun.
• Houtu invoked the Great Dao and sacrificed her body to manifest the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but the nascent Earthly Dao lacked enough power to sustain her as a Sage.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun summoned the Sages and powerful cultivators to Purple Cloud Palace after Houtu became an Earthly Dao Sage, where they argued over the Heavenly Dao’s Great Trend and whether beings across repeated epochs were merely data. Houtu rejected a place among those who controlled the world’s fate, and Demon Emperor Jun ended the chapter by challenging the claim that tradition or majority vote made their decisions right.
