Taishang Laojun showed Xuandu how the Myriad Realms Trading Platform gathered Fortune-Tide Dao and gave him the Lord of the Pill Dao Fruit Position to cultivate. As the platform’s influence spread, Yun Zhongzi and Duobao competed through their artifact shops, while Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Jieyin considered how to challenge its dominance.

• Taishang Laojun showed Xuandu the Fortune-Tide Dao Zhao Gongming gained through the Myriad Realms Trading Platform and explained how selling pills had increased his own Fortune-Tide Dao.
• Taishang Laojun gave Xuandu the Lord of the Pill Dao Fruit Position and told him to sell pills on the platform, hoping he could inherit that karmic connection and advance toward Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

• Jieyin recognized that his Western platform could not thrive without access to the East’s resources and considered joining forces with Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate and the Two Sages of the West created rival platforms to compete with the Myriad Realms Trading Platform, forming a three-way contest in the Primordial True Realm. Xuan Yin planned to use the competition to spread the Jie Sect’s teachings and draw more wealth fortune into circulation.

• Daoist Jieyin proposed expanding the Ganges Dream Realm, but Taishang Laojun challenged its potential for Buddhist conversion and refused to endorse the plan.

• Xuan Yin argued that the Myriad Realms Trading Platform should borrow features from its rivals and proposed offering chances to comprehend Tongtian’s Heaven Intercepting Nine Swords.
• Xuan Yin intended to push the other Sages into sharing their divine abilities and broadening their sects, which he believed would benefit the Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods.

Xuan Yin entered the Universal Communication Space to study the upper three seals of the Yuanshi Nine Seals and traveled back to the Era of Creation. As Pangu opened the world, Xuan Yin witnessed the Heaven-Opening Seal’s mystery begin to transform Pangu into the Primordial Heavenly King.

• Primordial Heavenly Venerate discovered that Tongtian had made the Heaven Intercepting Nine Swords available on the Myriad Realms Trading Platform and entered to study them, where he found True Person Yuding cultivating the sword art.

• Xuan Yin’s consciousness traveled back to before creation, where he greeted Pangu and watched him slay the Chaos Demon Gods and create the Primordial True Realm.
• A Daoist shout proclaimed Yuanshi as Pangu, and Pangu’s Dao body began transforming into the Primordial Heavenly King as Xuan Yin witnessed the mystery of the Heaven-Opening Seal.

Xuan Yin mastered the Heaven-Opening Seal and narrowly escaped Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s attempt to mark him as Second Generation Yuanshi. By comparing the Yuanshi Nine Seals with the Heaven Intercepting Nine Swords, he created a new divine ability, Dao Reverses Heaven.

• Xuan Yin mastered the Heaven-Opening Seal and six related Yuanshi seals, then rejected the Second Generation Yuanshi imprint.
• Xuan Yin fled into Yu Yu Heaven, where Lingbao Tianzun used Dao Cannot Be Discussed to erase the imprint and sever its karma.

• Xuan Yin compared the Yuanshi Nine Seals with the Heaven Intercepting Nine Swords and resonated with Dao Cannot Be Discussed and Defy the Classics, Betray the Dao.
• Xuan Yin fused the two Sages’ insights into Dao Reverses Heaven, a divine ability that inverted laws within its domain.

Xuan Yin demonstrated his Dao-reversing domain, then sparred with Yuding and Huang Long after Yuding traded two Wind Lightning Immortal Apricots for the match. He defeated Yuding with the Heaven-Opening Seal and then overwhelmed Huang Long, who glimpsed the Primordial Heavenly King and grew eager to pursue the Dao.

• Xuan Yin explained how Dao Reverses Heaven inverted the laws and Great Daos within its domain, then went to meet Yuding and Huang Long on his Dao Discussion Platform.

• Huang Long revealed his Pangu Dragon Aspect and used its transformations to resist Xuan Yin's suppressive force.
• Xuan Yin reversed the surrounding Dao rules with the Heaven-Opening Seal and defeated Huang Long, who glimpsed the Primordial Heavenly King and rejoiced at the insight.

Xuan Yin sparred with True Person Yuding and True Person Huang Long over the Heaven-Opening Seal, drawing inspiration for his own Dao while refusing to bind himself to the Primordial Heavenly Venerate's path. Huang Long offered a clue to Shi Yi's Wind God authority, and Xuan Yin left with two immortal apricots that might advance his Xiantian Bagua comprehension.

• True Person Yuding and True Person Huang Long gained insights from Xuan Yin's Heaven-Opening Seal, while Xuan Yin argued that a Sage's Great Dao should not become a shackle.
• Xuan Yin said he had benefited from their techniques and accepted Huang Long's offer to reveal a clue about a Wind God authority in exchange for another spar.
• True Person Huang Long revealed that his Dao companion, Ma Gu, possessed Shi Yi's Western Wind God authority, and Xuan Yin learned that the authority was at Ersian Mountain Magu Cave.
• Huang Long explained that Ma Gu had little use for the Wind God authority and hoped Xuan Yin might help her pursue an Underworld position, but Xuan Yin concealed his own plans for the Four Origin Dao Fruits.
• Xuan Yin examined the two immortal apricots and realized that the one containing the Great Dao of Thunder might help him comprehend the divine ability of the Zhen Thunder trigram.

While refining immortal apricots, Xuan Yin created his own thunder art, Lieque Thunder. He then learned that Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu were auctioning Daoist Zhunti’s Evil Corpse, Prajna Buddha Mother, who appeared to be pregnant with a child bearing Daoist Jieyin’s aura, setting the Primordial True Realm on the brink of chaos.

• The Exposition Sect Disciples pursued rival paths toward the Second Generation Yuanshi, while the Primordial Heavenly Venerate resolved that the Exposition Sect must lead the Heavenly Dao’s Great Trend.
• After refining the immortal apricots, Xuan Yin used his understanding of thunder and the Primordial Origin to create Lieque Thunder, a hidden strike that fused with the void.
• Zhao Gongming returned to Golden Ao Island and urged Xuan Yin to check the Myriad Realms Trading Platform, where Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu were auctioning Prajna Buddha Mother.
• Xuan Yin realized Prajna Buddha Mother appeared pregnant with a fetus carrying part of Daoist Jieyin’s aura, and concluded that the conflict involving the three Sages could plunge the Primordial True Realm into chaos.

Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti discovered that their karmic origins had produced a Child of Fortune, whom Nuwa and Houtu put up for auction on the Myriad Realms Trading Platform. Nuwa ultimately agreed to hand the child and Zhunti’s Evil Corpse back to the Western Sages in exchange for their help, then called on them to fulfill the promise immediately as her power shook the Primordial World.

• Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti traced the West’s draining fortune to a spiritual fetus formed from their origins and feared the Three Pure Ones would claim it.
• Nuwa and Houtu announced the auction of Prajna Buddha Mother and her spiritual fetus, prompting Taishang Laojun, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Sect Master Tongtian, and the Western Sages to bid with Innate Spiritual Treasures.
• Daoist Nether River, Tianwu, and Fu Xi spread the news, while Sect Master Tongtian learned Xuan Yin’s story and urged him and Zhao Gongming to seize the moment to advance.

• Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti swore a Great Dao oath to aid Nuwa, and Nuwa demanded their help immediately as a wave of power shook the Primordial World.

Nuwa moved to fuse Tai Su Heaven with the Earthly Dao and claim a second Sagehood, drawing Taishang Laojun and the other Sages into battle. As Zhao Gongming used wealth fortune to break through to Grand Unity, Haotian seized the distraction to curse Fu Xi, who prepared to attack the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

• Nuwa sent Nether Phoenix to fuse Tai Su Heaven's origin with the Earthly Dao while Primordial Heavenly Venerate, Taishang Laojun, and the Western Sages moved to stop her.
• Taishang Laojun's incarnations held Houtu and Sect Master Tongtian back, while Sect Master Tongtian entered the Two Forms Micro Dust Formation.
• Zhao Gongming invoked the Heavenly Dao and used seventy-two golden dragons of wealth fortune to disperse his lightning tribulation and reach Grand Unity.
• Nuwa's followers taught a new cultivation method to the Human Race, prompting Suirenshi and others to advance and shaking the Human Sect's destiny.
• Haotian took the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book from Pan Wang and began cursing Fu Xi, who resolved to charge into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and destroy the ritual.

Haotian used the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book to curse Fu Xi, forcing Fu Xi to lead an assault on the Heavenly Court while Nuwa and Taishang Laojun battled over Nuwa’s attempt to attain the Earthly Dao Sage Dao Fruit. Nuwa then ordered Xuan Yin to save Fu Xi as the conflict escalated.

• Haotian combined his fortune with the Heavenly Court’s fortune and used the Nail Head Seven Arrows Book to curse Fu Xi to death.
• Fu Xi sensed the curse and led Ying Zhao, Ying Long, Queen Mother of the West, Daoist Seven Killings, Daoist Xuanhuang, and other cultivators toward the Heavenly Court.

• Empress Nuwa ordered Xuan Yin to save Fu Xi and promised him her golden gourd, so Xuan Yin accepted despite the danger.
• Zhao Gongming joined Xuan Yin and used his Dao of Trade and fortune to help counter the curse; they brought Huang Ji and other Dragon People to the Heavenly Court.
• Xuan Yin struck Chi Xiao Nu with Lieque Thunder, giving Fu Xi an opening to break the Innate Five Elements Great Formation and free himself and the others.
• Zhao Gongming used Forced Purchase and Sale to transfer part of Fu Xi’s curse to a Heavenly Court Grand Unity Golden Immortal, who was overwhelmed by it.
• Haotian saw that Zhao Gongming could transfer the curse and descended with Yaochi and Pan Wang, while Zhao Gongming activated Forced Purchase and Sale again to help Fu Xi.

Haotian used the Dao Ancestor Jade Talisman against Xuan Yin, Zhao Gongming, and Fu Xi, but Ying Zhao willingly traded his life to save them. As Fu Xi and the Human Dao Divine Dynasty’s allies fought back, Xuan Yin and Zhao Gongming joined the battle against the Heavenly Court.

• Haotian attacked Zhao Gongming and Fu Xi with the Haotian Sword, but Xuan Yin blocked the strike with the Luotian Auspicious Clouds.
• Haotian unleashed the Dao Ancestor Jade Talisman, and Xuan Yin used the Nuwa Blood Jade and his defensive treasures to resist its power.

• Furious over Ying Zhao’s death, Fu Xi attacked Haotian and Yaochi, while the other Human Dao allies battled the Heavenly Court’s forces.
• Xuan Yin chose to enter the fight, and he and Zhao Gongming attacked the wounded Huan Shu Niu with the Primordial Magnet Divine Light Sword and Purple Lightning Hammer.

Xuan Yin, Zhao Gongming, and Daoist Seven Killings killed Huan Shu Niu, while Great Immortal Yang Mei intervened to protect Nether Phoenix as Nuwa’s Earthly Dao plan advanced. In the Heavenly Realm, Haotian revealed the Investiture of the Gods List and turned fallen warriors into bound servants, reversing the battle against Fu Xi.

• Xuan Yin, Zhao Gongming, and Daoist Seven Killings destroyed Huan Shu Niu, but Xuan Yin discovered that his Dao Fruit had been taken away through a power connected to Haotian.
• Great Immortal Yang Mei appeared through Nuwa’s willow branch and separated Nether Phoenix from the Jade Pure Daoist, giving Jianmu time to absorb more of Tai Su Heaven’s Divine Dao authority.
• Jianmu pierced through Tai Su Heaven, the Netherworld, and the Primordial True Realm as it grew toward becoming a bridge between Nuwa’s Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao Sage Dao Fruits.
• Daoist Seven Killings, empowered by Daoist Nether River, killed Chi Xiao Nu, worsening the Heavenly Court’s losses and leaving Fu Xi to charge Haotian and Yaochi in desperation.
• Haotian revealed the Investiture of the Gods List and commanded fallen Grand Unity Golden Immortals, including Ying Zhao, to attack Fu Xi, turning the battle in his favor.

• Xuan Yin realized Haotian had used the Investiture of the Gods List to bind Huan Shu Niu's True Spirit and keep his Yellow Emperor Dao Fruit from returning to the Heavenly Dao.
• Zhao Gongming said he could not bring down the Investiture of the Gods List while Haotian guarded it, so Fu Xi ordered the Human Dao Divine Dynasty's forces to retreat.
• Xing Tian broke free of Haotian's array and attacked him, while Fu Xi and his allies escaped the Heavenly Court.
• Nuwa turned Tai Su Heaven into the dark side of the Primordial World's Earthly Dao and attained the Earthly Dao Sage, joining her Earthly Dao halo with her Heavenly Dao halo.
• Nuwa challenged Taishang Laojun to fight in Chaos, and the other Sages stopped fighting to watch them.
• Zhao Gongming transferred Fu Xi's remaining curse power to the Dragon People in Xuan Yin's Bright Divine Banner.

Beyond the heavens, Nuwa destroyed Taishang Laojun’s One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, but Taishang trapped her in the Two Forms Micro Dust Formation.

• Zhao Gongming asked Xuan Yin to sell him the Bright Divine Banner, but Xuan Yin refused and lent it to him to study.
• Fu Xi considered how to free the Human Dao Divine Dynasty’s officials from Haotian’s control of the Investiture of the Gods List, then decided to seek help from Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
• Nuwa explained that Taiqing was the foundation linking Jade Pure and Shangqing, then struck down Taiqing with the Primordial Saint Sword and caused the other two avatars to vanish.
• Sect Master Tongtian recognized that Nuwa had exposed the weakness of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, while Jieyin and Zhunti reacted with alarm at her increased strength.
• Taishang Laojun used the Taiji Diagram to form the Two Forms Micro Dust Formation and trapped Nuwa within it.

Nuwa broke Taishang Laojun’s formation with the Great Dao of Primordial, established a new Tai Su Heaven above the Heavenly Realm, and prepared to support Fu Xi’s bid for Humanity Dao without intervening directly. Haotian stabilized the Heavenly Court by promising freedom to those bound by the Investiture of the Gods List, but Ying Zhao rejected his offer and challenged his claim to imperial stature.

• Nuwa shattered Taishang Laojun’s Two Forms Micro Dust Formation and overwhelmed him with the Primordial Heaven and Earth until Primordial Heavenly Venerate intervened.
• Nuwa sent an incarnation to manage the Earthly Dao, then opened a new Tai Su Heaven above the Nine Heavens and declared the old Tai Su Heaven would nourish Jianmu.

• Haotian offered Ying Zhao a Great Emperor position in exchange for helping defeat Fu Xi and the Human Dao Divine Dynasty.
• Ying Zhao refused Haotian’s offer, praised Dijun, Taiyi, and Fu Xi as greater emperors, and called Haotian unworthy of allegiance.

After Nuwa’s second attainment of the Dao, Zhunti and Jieyin considered using the child in Prajna Buddha Mother’s womb to help the West claim an Earthly Dao Sage, while Taishang Laojun and Primordial Heavenly Venerate discussed their next moves. Nuwa rewarded Xuan Yin and Zhao Gongming, then used her power to merge Di Ting’s bloodlines, inspiring Xuan Yin to consider how Pangu’s bloodline might be recovered.

• Zhunti and Jieyin resolved to raise Prajna Buddha Mother’s child as the West’s heir and discussed pursuing an Earthly Dao Sage through alliances and accumulated resources.
• Taishang Laojun told Primordial Heavenly Venerate that Nuwa breaking his abilities could help him transform his Dao fruition, and they discussed how to make Haotian a puppet Heavenly Emperor.
• Nuwa gave Xuan Yin a golden gourd and rewarded Zhao Gongming with a Money Tree for his help saving Fu Xi.
• Nuwa used the Great Dao of Life to merge Di Ting’s bloodlines and break some of his inherited constraints.
• Xuan Yin wondered whether combining the Primordial World’s many bloodlines could recreate a bloodline close to Pangu’s.

Xuan Yin asked Nuwa whether many bloodlines could be combined to condense Pangu True Blood, prompting him to consider how bloodline bonds limited the revival of Humanity Dao. When he uncovered a hidden Power of Forgetting surrounding the origins and past actions of Luohu, Hongjun, and Yang Mei, Nuwa shielded him and concluded that Dao Ancestor in the Purple Cloud Palace was responsible.

• Xuan Yin asked Nuwa about condensing Pangu True Blood, and she showed him her Seventy Types of Transformations, explaining how she had studied bloodlines and their Pangu Dao fragments.
• Xuan Yin reasoned that bloodline bonds divided living beings and could not unite them through Humanity Dao, and he questioned whether following Pangu’s path ultimately meant remaining bound to Pangu.
• Xuan Yin wondered why Luohu, Hongjun, and Yang Mei had followed their fated roles despite memories of earlier epochs, then felt a Power of Forgetting try to erase his speculation.
• Nuwa noticed the Power of Forgetting, enclosed Xuan Yin within the Mountain River Society and Earth Diagram, and let him voice his suspicions.
• Nuwa concluded that Dao Ancestor in the Purple Cloud Palace had concealed the past origins of Hongjun and Luohu, which neither she nor the other Sages could investigate.

Nuwa and Xuan Yin considered whether Dao Ancestor Hongjun had begun Reducing Self to Seek Emptiness and who might carry his karma, while Xuan Yin planned to collect the seven Innate Gourds and expand his cultivation methods. After visiting Mount Tai, Xuan Yin agreed to Fu Xi’s request to accompany him to Mount Kunlun and seek Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s help freeing Ying Zhao from the Investiture of the Gods List.

• Nuwa suspected Dao Ancestor Hongjun had begun Reducing Self to Seek Emptiness and wondered whether one of his disciples or attendants carried his karma.
• Xuan Yin reminded Nuwa that she could ask Great Immortal Yang Mei about Hongjun’s origins, and Nuwa sent Xuan Yin and his companions out of Tai Su Heaven.
• Xuan Yin considered combining the Immortal Dao’s Method of Severing the Three Corpses with the Buddhist Sect’s Method of Severing the Three Bodies, and planned to gather all seven Innate Gourds.
• Xuan Yin left for Mount Tai to ask Fu Xi what he would do after Haotian gained control of the Investiture of the Gods List and Ying Zhao fell under its restraint.
• Fu Xi proposed seeking Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s help at Mount Kunlun, and asked Xuan Yin to accompany him.

Xuan Yin traveled to Mount Kunlun with Fu Xi and Four-Unlike, where Primordial Heavenly Venerate sent him into the Fu Li Treasure Pearl to practice creating a world in Chaos. Xuan Yin stabilized the world with a Buzhou Mountain formed from Chaos Qi and comprehended a new Chaos Seal, but a Yuanshi Imprint appeared.

• Fu Xi persuaded Xuan Yin to visit Mount Kunlun, and Xuan Yin brought Four-Unlike along after sharing his idea about the Investiture of the Gods with Sect Master Tongtian.
• As the group entered Mount Kunlun, Xuan Yin was swept into a chaotic spacetime, while Primordial Heavenly Venerate sent Four-Unlike and the Exposition Sect disciples to watch Xuan Yin create a world.
• Inside the Fu Li Treasure Pearl, Xuan Yin repeatedly used the Heaven-Opening Seal, but the pressure of the Chaos Universe caused each world he opened to collapse.
• Xuan Yin transformed Chaos Qi into a Buzhou Mountain that supported the heavens and stopped them from closing.
• Xuan Yin comprehended the Chaos Seal, but a Yuanshi Imprint descended, and he realized he was in danger.
