Chapter Summaries

Haotian reacted to Fu Xi and his allies establishing the Human Dao Divine Dynasty by planning to secure the Investiture of the Gods List and God-Beating Whip before the Heavenly Court’s power was sidelined. As the Sages prepared representatives for Haotian’s Peach Banquet, Houtu sent Xing Tian to test Haotian’s response.

• Haotian rejected Chi Ming’s proposal to attack Fu Xi and accepted Immortal Fu Yuan’s plan to invite Fu Xi, the Sages, and other Great Powers to a Peach Banquet while seeking to win over the Second Generation Five Emperors.
• Haotian decided to ask Dao Ancestor Hongjun for protection and advance control of the Investiture of the Gods List and God-Beating Whip, then used Yaochi’s Western Plain Colored Cloud Realm Banner to conceal his departure for Purple Cloud Palace.
• The Sages received Haotian’s invitations, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Sect Master Tongtian, and Taishang Laojun each assigned disciples to attend while warning them not to interfere in the contest between the Heavenly Court and the Human Dao Divine Dynasty.
• Houtu ordered Xing Tian to represent her at the Peach Banquet so she could see what Haotian was made of, despite Xing Tian’s concern that his past injury to Haotian might provoke him.

Fu Xi and Haotian’s rival powers prepared to attend Haotian’s Peach Banquet, where the gathered immortals watched for signs of conflict between the Heavenly Court and the Human Dao Divine Dynasty. The chapter ended as Fu Xi arrived at Yaochi with Kong Xuan and Xuan Yin, just as the banquet’s confrontation was about to begin.

• Fu Xi decided that he, Ying Zhao, and Queen Mother of the West would attend as representatives of the Human Dao Divine Dynasty, while Ying Long, Zhen Yuanzi, and Nether River would use the identities listed on their invitations.
• Huan Shu Niu, Bai Zhao Ju, Zhi Guang Ji, and Chi Xiao Nu accepted Haotian’s invitations, hoping to use the Heavenly Court’s influence to strengthen their own positions.
• Kun Peng chose to remain in the Northern Netherland and avoid the Peach Banquet’s entanglements, while Qing Ji agreed to stay with him.
• Grand Unity Golden Immortals and powerful guests gathered at Yaochi, including the Three Sects’ disciples and Xing Tian, who attended on behalf of Houtu; Nether River performed his flying-head technique, but Xing Tian sat down instead of confronting Haotian.
• Huan Shu Niu, Bai Zhao Ju, Zhi Guang Ji, and Chi Xiao Nu took seats beside Haotian and Yaochi, leaving the seat reserved for Fu Xi empty.
• Fu Xi arrived at Yaochi amid golden light, accompanied by Xuan Yin and Kong Xuan.

At the Peach Festival, Haotian tried to settle Fu Xi’s conflict with Huan Shu Niu and recruit them into the Heavenly Court, but Fu Xi turned the invitation around and challenged Haotian’s authority. As tensions mounted, Daoist Nether River proposed that Xing Tian demonstrate his axe techniques, leaving Xuan Yin wondering whether Xing Tian intended to attack Haotian.

• Haotian invited Fu Xi to reconcile with Huan Shu Niu and the others, then offered them positions as the Five Directional Heavenly Emperors.
• Fu Xi rejected Haotian’s offer, questioned the strength of his rule, and invited Haotian to join the Human Dao Divine Dynasty instead.
• Fu Xi warned that ambitious Great Luo might covet Haotian’s throne, and Xuan Yin argued that a Heavenly Emperor who lost virtue could be deposed.
• Huan Shu Niu tried to attack Xuan Yin, but Fu Xi stopped him, while Daoist Nether River urged the gathered powers to settle their grievances with a fight.
• Yaochi redirected the gathering toward discussing the Dao, and Daoist Nether River asked Xing Tian to demonstrate his axe techniques.
• Xing Tian rose to perform, and Xuan Yin wondered whether he planned to aim his axe at Haotian.

At Haotian’s Peach Banquet, Xing Tian accepted a new Heavenly Court office that let him supervise its gods, and Xuan Yin considered how to reshape his own divine authority. Nether stirred up trouble among the guests before Jin Ning arrived with a gift from Empress Nuwa, leaving Xuan Yin wary of what she intended.

• Xing Tian used Ganqi to open a passage to the Netherworld and established himself as the Heaven-Cleaving, Earth-Grinding, Man-Determining, Correction-Establishing Great Emperor, one of the Heavenly Court’s Six Sovereigns.
• Haotian congratulated Xing Tian despite his displeasure, while Xuan Yin realized that divine offices could be reshaped and considered expanding his Buzhou Mountain God authority through the five elements.
• Nether tried to provoke Xuan Yin and Wu Zhiqi into causing a scene, then sent seventy-two Asura princesses to perform a dance that unsettled the banquet guests.
• Mahasthamaprapta succumbed to the dance, overturned his table, and shouted against the Heavenly Emperor and Human Emperor, so Maitreya hurriedly took him away and apologized.
• Nether suggested that Mahasthamaprapta’s outburst exposed the Western Teachings’ true opinions, but Jin Ning arrived before Maitreya could respond, presenting a congratulatory gift from Empress Nuwa.
• Xuan Yin recognized the gift as the Mountain River Society and Earth Diagram and wondered whether Empress Nuwa’s apparent gift concealed another purpose.

At the Peach Festival, Jin Ning presented Haotian with Prajna Buddha Mother, the transformed Evil Corpse of Daoist Zhunti, provoking Zhunti and triggering a Sage battle that wrecked Yaochi. Houtu rescued Prajna Buddha Mother, while Nuwa fought Zhunti and Jieyin; with the festival ruined, Fu Xi invited the guests to gather at the Human Dao Divine Dynasty.

• Jin Ning revealed that Empress Nuwa had sent Prajna Buddha Mother as a gift for Haotian, and Prajna’s aura and name made the Western Teachings suspect her connection to Daoist Zhunti.
• Daoist Zhunti attacked Yaochi, but Houtu pulled Prajna Buddha Mother into the Netherworld as she resisted his attempt to reclaim her.

• The Sage attacks devastated Yaochi and ended the Peach Festival, while Daoist Nether River recorded the destruction with an Imprint Stone.
• Fu Xi invited the stranded guests to gather at the Human Dao Divine Dynasty instead.

After the Peach Festival thinned out, Haotian tried to strengthen the Heavenly Court by recruiting powerful figures while the Human Dao Divine Dynasty’s rise unsettled the balance. Du E, Daoist Randeng, and Wu Zhiqi each declined or deferred, leaving their future allegiances unresolved.

• Fu Xi and many Quasi-Saints left Yaochi, and other Great Luo cultivators departed or considered joining Fu Xi’s Human Dao Divine Dynasty.
• Haotian moved the banquet to Dou Niu Palace and offered True Person Du E a Heavenly Court post, but Du E cited his Northern Ghost Emperor duties and postponed joining.
• Haotian appointed Huan Shu Niu, Chi Xiao Nu, Zhi Guang Ji, and Bai Zhao Ju as the Central Yellow, Southern Red, Northern Black, and Western White Emperors.
• Haotian offered Daoist Randeng an idle post and a chance to open the Twenty-Four Heavens, but Randeng said he would consider it while weighing the risks and seeking Sage support.
• Haotian invited Wu Zhiqi to serve in the Heavenly Court and promised him a chance to avoid tribulation ashes, but Wu Zhiqi deferred until he repaid his karmic debt to Sage Tongtian.

Xuan Yin and Kong Xuan sneaked into the Peach Garden, stole its Houtian Peaches and the nine remaining peaches from the Primordial Peach Root, then set up a scheme to teleport the Ren Shui Peaches away. In Chaos, Nuwa overwhelmed Jieyin and Zhunti, forcing Jieyin to protect the Western Teachings' fortune by taking her sword strike himself.

• Xuan Yin persuaded Kong Xuan to accompany him into the Peach Garden and secretly transferred Houtian Peach Trees and their spiritual soil into the Spirit Realm.
• Xuan Yin used the Universal Pass to bypass the Primordial Peach Root's restrictions and plucked all nine remaining Ren Shui Peaches.
• Xuan Yin prepared a random teleportation array to send the Ren Shui Peaches somewhere in the Primordial True Realm, then left the garden with Kong Xuan.
• Nuwa fought Jieyin and Zhunti with the Primordial Saint Sword and other treasures, breaking Zhunti's karmic net and dissolving Jieyin's dream realm with Primordial White Qi.
• Nuwa targeted the Western Teachings' fortune suppressed by Jieyin's Twelve-Grade Golden Merit Lotus, so Jieyin withdrew the lotus and took her sword strike himself.

After Empress Nuwa obtained Daoist Jieyin’s essence blood, she began forming a Dao fetus, while Haotian brooded over the Heavenly Court’s rivalry with Fu Xi. The Ren Shui Peach was stolen from the Peach Garden and appeared above the North Sea, where a battle for the Primordial Peach Root ended with Daoist Zhunti’s Good Corpse knocking it into the void.

• Empress Nuwa wrapped Daoist Jieyin’s essence blood in her power of creation and transformed it into the rudiment of a Dao fetus, resolving to obtain Daoist Zhunti’s Evil Corpse as well.
• Haotian concluded that he needed to defeat Fu Xi to establish the Heavenly Court’s order, but the Peach Garden’s Ren Shui Peach and trees vanished while Yaochi inspected the root.
• Haotian and Yaochi discovered that a teleportation formation had removed the Peach Garden’s contents, then used the Heavenly Court’s authority to locate the Ren Shui Peach above the North Sea.
• Great Luo and Quasi-Saints gathered at the North Sea and fought over the Primordial Peach Root as Haotian’s group clashed with Fu Xi’s allies.
• Daoist Zhunti’s Good Corpse secretly struck during the battle, sending the Primordial Peach Root into the turbulent currents of the void.

Fu Xi and Haotian fought above the North Sea while Xuan Yin and Kong Xuan used Woodcutter's Spring to create future versions of themselves and sent them to plunder the Heavenly Court and Changzhou. The pursuit of the Primordial Peach Root turned into a chaotic battle, and Chi Xiao Nu's divine fire awakened the North Sea Black Tortoise, which emerged as the chapter ended.

• Fu Xi trapped Haotian with the Xiantian Bagua and his spiritual treasures while Yaochi failed to break through the Jingyang Bell.
• Xuan Yin revealed Woodcutter's Spring, which produced golden and silver future versions of himself, and explained how their origins differed from his own.
• Kong Xuan entered Woodcutter's Spring and gained golden and silver versions of himself, after which Xuan Yin and Kong Xuan sent their doubles to plunder the Heavenly Court and Changzhou.
• Grand Unity Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints chased the Primordial Peach Root into a Great Thousand World, where Pan Wang killed a contender and Kun Peng watched for an opening.
• Chi Xiao Nu's Innate Divine Fire shook the Great Thousand World, awakening the North Sea Black Tortoise, whose power was connected to the North Sea Eye and the Return Ruins.

The North Sea Black Tortoise’s awakening unleashed chaos in the North Sea and caused it to swallow the Heavenly Court’s Primordial Peach Root. Xuan Yin negotiated with Haotian to retrieve it, but another unexpected change interrupted the handover.

• The North Sea Black Tortoise awakened, unleashed karmic Fierce Beasts, swallowed several Great Luo and the Primordial Peach Root, and threw the Heavenly Court’s Fortune-Tide Dao into turmoil.
• Xuan Yin and Kong Xuan arrived as Divine Monarch Zhiming suppressed the Black Tortoise; Primordial Heavenly Venerate attacked Xuan Yin for speaking carelessly, and Sect Master Tongtian intervened to save him.
• Haotian asked Zhiming to recover the Primordial Peach Root, but Zhiming refused and suggested Xuan Yin could persuade the Black Tortoise because he had altered its fate.
• Xuan Yin demanded Haotian’s Heaven and Earth Gourd and a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure in exchange for his help, and Haotian handed over the gourd and the Mist Dew Qiankun Net.
• Xuan Yin asked Yuan Tuo to return the Primordial Peach Root, and the Black Tortoise spat it out just as Haotian moved to reclaim it; another unexpected change then occurred.

Nether and the Heavenly Court fought over the Primordial Peach Root while Xuan Yin withdrew to the North Pole, where Zhiming confronted him about his concealed schemes. As the battle continued, Bloodthirsty Black Mosquitoes drained a quarter of the root’s origin, forcing Nether and Haotian to join forces in pursuit.

• Nether attacked the Primordial Peach Root, and Haotian, Yaochi, Fu Xi, Pan Wang, Chi Xiao Nu, and Huan Shu Niu intervened as an unfamiliar Quasi-Saint knocked it back into the void.
• Xuan Yin declared his debt to Haotian settled, took the Heaven and Earth Gourd and Mist Dew Qiankun Net, and fled toward Zhiming with Kong Xuan.
• Zhiming revealed that he knew Xuan Yin had used the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner to conceal his involvement in the Primordial Peach Root’s loss and his dealings with Ksitigarbha.
• Zhiming brought Xuan Yin and Kong Xuan to the North Pole and used the Heaven-Watching Mirror to observe the battle.
• Bloodthirsty Black Mosquitoes drained nearly a quarter of the Primordial Peach Root’s origin, reducing it to a high-grade Innate Spiritual Root.
• Nether and Haotian abandoned their fight against each other and pursued the Bloodthirsty Black Mosquitoes.

Daoist Nether River and Haotian battled Mosquito Daoist’s incarnations, but a Sage concealed her true body and made the mosquitoes vanish, leaving Haotian to suspect that a Sage had sabotaged the Heavenly Court. Haotian concealed his suspicions while planning to use the Investiture of the Gods List and a possible war to strengthen his authority, while Xuan Yin concluded that Nether River would have to deal with Mosquito Daoist’s protection.

• Daoist Nether River and Haotian attacked Mosquito Daoist’s countless mosquito incarnations, but Nether River’s attempt to find her true body was blocked by a golden light that concealed all karma.
• A golden mist removed Mosquito Daoist’s incarnations, and Daoist Nether River warned Haotian that a Sage had likely intervened against the Heavenly Court.
• Haotian considered which Sages might be conspiring against him, then took confidence from six newly lit names on the Investiture of the Gods List and contemplated gathering a Star Dou Great Formation.
• Haotian privately admitted that his grief over the Primordial Peach Root was partly a performance and considered starting a war to fill the Investiture of the Gods List.
• Xuan Yin observed that Jin Yin and Jin Xuan had plundered the Heavenly Court again and that Yin Yin and Yin Xuan had gained much on Changzhou, then decided to leave Mosquito Daoist to trouble Nether River.

After Haotian discovered that the Heavenly Court and the new emperors’ stores had been looted, Zhunti used Mosquito Daoist’s stolen Primordial Peach Root origin to aid the Western Paradise. Xuan Yin and his allies sold the stolen goods through the Myriad Realms Trading Platform, leaving Haotian and Huan Shu Niu furious when Zhao Gongming told them they would have to buy their property back.

• Haotian returned to find the Heavenly Court’s treasures, furnishings, and even his throne stolen, while Zhunti denied responsibility for the looting.
• Zhunti made Mosquito Daoist return the Primordial Peach Root origin, refined it into Ren Water Origin, and gave it to Maitreya to strengthen his foundation.
• Huan Shu Niu and his companions learned that their stores in Changzhou had also been looted and hurried back to investigate.
• Jin Yin, Jin Xuan, Yin Yin, and Yin Xuan brought the stolen goods to Xuan Yin’s Spirit Realm, where Xuan Yin decided to sell them through the Myriad Realms Trading Platform.
• A Great Luo’s attempt to probe the platform was struck by Immortal Slaying Sword qi, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate stopped investigating after discovering its connection to the Earthly Dao and Six Paths of Reincarnation.
• Haotian and Huan Shu Niu confronted Zhao Gongming over their stolen goods, but he said they would need to buy them back through the platform and pay a three percent commission.

Haotian bought back some of the Heavenly Court’s stolen Houtian Peach Trees through the Myriad Realms Trading Platform, then enfeoffed Zhao Gongming as Heavenly Market Star Lord instead of granting him the Wealth Department post. Zhao Gongming accepted the barren Heavenly Market Enclosure as the foundation for his own plans.

• Haotian exchanged a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure for spirit coins and bought back twenty-four hundred Houtian Peach Trees, but learned the seller had listed the nine-thousand-year trees and peaches separately.
• Haotian questioned the Dragon People about the seller, but they refused to reveal the identities of buyers or sellers and encouraged him to open a Heavenly Court trading venue.
• Zhao Gongming asked Haotian for a righteous god position in the Wealth Department, explaining that he sought to serve as God of Wealth across the Three Realms.
• Haotian refused to give Zhao Gongming the Wealth Department position but enfeoffed him as Heavenly Market Star Lord, granting him authority to establish a marketplace there.
• Zhao Gongming accepted the appointment, intending to develop the barren Heavenly Market Enclosure into a place where he could attain the Dao.

Haotian appointed Zhao Gongming Heavenly Market Star Lord, while Xuan Yin explained why the desolate Heavenly Market Enclosure could become the foundation for expanding the Interception Sect’s influence and creating new divine authority. Xuan Yin left Zhao Gongming considering a plan to transform the enclosure and build a power that could surpass his rejected Heavenly Court position.

• Haotian appointed Zhao Gongming Heavenly Market Star Lord and wondered why he had accepted the position so readily.
• Zhao Gongming questioned Xuan Yin about the value of claiming the barren Heavenly Market Enclosure, and Xuan Yin argued that its vastness and proximity to Chaos made it ideal for transformation.
• Xuan Yin urged Zhao Gongming to turn the enclosure into a blessed land, establish a foothold near Taiwei Yuan and Ziwei Yuan, and expand the Interception Sect’s control across the Primordial Starry Sky.
• Xuan Yin explained that Zhao Gongming could use the Spirit Net, trading platform, and currency systems to create a new divine position with greater potential than Dragon Tiger Xuan Tan True Lord.
• Xuan Yin considered how transforming Heaven and Earth could help him test his own path toward changing Heaven and altering the Dao.

Xuan Yin and Zhao Gongming began transforming the Heavenly Market Enclosure, recruiting Jie Sect disciples to restore its stars and draw spiritual qi from nearby regions. While investigating Luohu Star, Xuan Yin sensed that the Twelve-Grade Black Lotus of Destruction had reacted to something connected to the Demonic Dao.

• Xuan Yin explained the three stages of Law Dao cultivation to Zhao Gongming and proposed raising the Heavenly Market Enclosure's spiritual qi by drawing it from Ziwei Yuan and Taiwei Yuan.
• Xuan Yin summoned Golden Spirit Holy Mother, San Xiao, and nearly ten thousand Jie Sect disciples to help transform the Heavenly Market Enclosure, using the Zhou Tian Star Chart to plan the work.
• Golden Spirit Holy Mother and the others began restoring the stars to their former positions while Xuan Yin and Zhao Gongming refined void gates and Spirit Gathering Array flags.
• Xuan Yin created a Lesser Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner to conceal his movements, then traveled toward Luohu Star to investigate where Luohu had taken form.
• The Twelve-Grade Black Lotus of Destruction shone as Xuan Yin descended onto Luohu Star, and he sensed that it had detected a treasure connected to the Demonic Dao.

Xuan Yin was pulled into Luohu Star’s Innate Sacred Land, where Demon Ancestor Luohu explained his plan to make Xuan Yin the Second Generation Luohu. Luohu forcibly transformed and empowered Xuan Yin, leaving him at the Three Proofs of Taiyi and bound more deeply to Luohu’s karma.

• Xuan Yin was dragged into the Netherlight Sea and realized it was Luohu’s Innate Sacred Land, a place that should have been too dangerous for Luohu to leave exposed.
• Luohu spoke to Xuan Yin from the Heavenly Dao Origin Space and explained that the Sages sought successors to inherit their names and karma.
• Luohu revealed that Xuan Yin’s Blood Essence Incarnation had inherited the name Luohu and said Xuan Yin could become Star Lord Luohu by undergoing transformation in the sacred land.
• Luohu surrounded Xuan Yin with Primordial Demonic Qi and began reversing his acquired nature, while the mark of the Grandson of Pangu preserved Xuan Yin’s identity.
• The Primordial Demonic Qi raised Xuan Yin’s body, primordial spirit, and Dao Fruit to the Three Proofs of Taiyi, while he gained Star Lord Luohu’s authority and deeper karmic ties to Luohu.

Xuan Yin learned from Luohu how to refine the Luotian Auspicious Clouds, a calamity-powered treasure that could conceal heavenly secrets, and discovered that Chaos’s fiend soul might serve as its core. He left Luohu Star for Biyou Palace to ask Sect Master Tongtian for help suppressing the soul.

• Xuan Yin asked Luohu for a treasure that could conceal heavenly secrets, and Luohu said he had none but taught him how to refine the Luotian Auspicious Clouds.
• Luohu explained that the clouds required Tribulation Qi and suggested that Xuan Yin provoke a great calamity, but Xuan Yin feared the karmic backlash.
• Luohu proposed using Chaos’s fiend soul as the clouds’ core and revealed that Yang Mei had sealed Chaos in the Boundless Land.
• Xuan Yin studied Luohu’s method and realized that calamity origin could empower treasures such as the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram.
• Xuan Yin concluded that he needed Sect Master Tongtian’s help with Chaos’s fiend soul and used the Anywhere Door to arrive outside Biyou Palace.

Xuan Yin asked Sect Master Tongtian to help refine the Luotian Auspicious Clouds using Chaos’s fierce soul and the Profound Yellow Ancestral Root, while outlining his plan to use the clouds as a substitute Earthly Dao Sage Dao Fruit. Tongtian brought him to the Boundless Land and seized Chaos’s fierce soul so they could begin.

• Sect Master Tongtian questioned Xuan Yin about gaining Luohu’s authority and warned him about the dangers of refining the Luotian Auspicious Clouds with Great Tribulation Tribulation Qi.
• Xuan Yin proposed using his Shangqing Lingbao Dongxuan Auspicious Clouds, Tongtian’s Sage status, and the Profound Yellow Ancestral Root to suppress the tribulation qi and eventually imitate an Earthly Dao Sage Dao Fruit.
• Tongtian realized that Sages could learn the previous Chaos Epoch’s memories only after becoming Sages, making it too late to avoid their Heavenly Dao restrictions.
• Xuan Yin wondered whether Luohu had a hidden plan to force him to inherit his position, but accepted that he needed Luohu’s power for now.
• Tongtian took Xuan Yin to the Boundless Land, where they found Chaos’s disembodied fierce soul bearing seven holes that Xuan Yin sensed resonated with his Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart.
• Tongtian seized Chaos’s fierce soul from the rift to help Xuan Yin refine the Luotian Auspicious Clouds.

Xuan Yin refined the Luotian Auspicious Clouds with Sect Master Tongtian’s help, gaining a powerful treasure that concealed deductions and devoured attacks. Meanwhile, Haotian and Fu Xi sought allies, the Interception Sect expanded its trading platform into the Heavenly Market Enclosure, and Taishang Laojun warned Xuandu that its Fortune-Tide Dao could surpass the Sages’ influence.

• Xuan Yin merged the Primordial Origin, Profound Yellow Ancestral Root, Chaos, and Chaos’s fierce soul into the Luotian Auspicious Clouds, which gained four divine abilities.
• Sect Master Tongtian tested the Luotian Auspicious Clouds and warned Xuan Yin that the treasure could hide him from deductions but could not stop Sages from scheming against him.
• Haotian traveled to Xuanzhou to recruit Immortal Count and considered him a candidate for the vacant Azure Emperor position.
• Fu Xi failed to recruit Gui Che and Nine Infants, while Kun Peng sent Qing Ji Demon God to join the Human Dao Divine Dynasty on his behalf.
• Zhao Gongming, Jin Ling, San Xiao, and the others opened a new Myriad Realms Trading Platform entrance in the Heavenly Market Enclosure, drawing True Person Du E’s attention.
• Taishang Laojun told Xuandu that the platform’s Fortune-Tide Dao could outgrow the Sages’ influence and strengthen Zhao Gongming’s Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
