Arc 1The Jade Emperor’s New Power
After discovering Zhang Yifan’s food could strengthen even powerful immortals, the Jade Emperor made him the center of his plans and began asserting control over Heaven. Yang Jian destroyed the Journey to the West party, while Zhang Yifan’s guests gained strength and Tongtian prepared to bring his disciples to meet Grandpa; the arc ends with the Jade Emperor facing Laozi.
- The Jade Emperor entered Zhang Yifan’s yard, lost his powers, and was forced to kneel and call Zhang Yifan Father.
- The Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing discovered that Zhang Yifan’s food and wine contained Great Dao Law fragments, and the Jade Emperor learned about Hongjun’s plan to hinder the world’s advancement.
- The Jade Emperor brought the Queen Mother and Seven Fairies to meet Zhang Yifan, where his feast strengthened them and his advice led the Jade Emperor to demand obedience from Heaven’s gods.
- The Jade Emperor dismissed disobedient gods, humiliated Guanyin, and brought Yang Jian and Sect Master Tongtian to meet Zhang Yifan, who fed them and gave them Enlightenment Tea.
- Tongtian regained his confidence after Zhang Yifan explained how the Three Pure Ones could help Pangu return, while Yang Jian shared Enlightenment Tea with Yuan Hong and the Five Monsters.
- Yang Jian and Yuan Hong destroyed the pilgrimage party and the Lion Camel Ridge demons, prompting the Jade Emperor to bring loyal gods and captured creatures to Zhang Yifan’s home for a feast.
- Tongtian gave Yunxiao Enlightenment Tea and told her to gather Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and Brother Gongming in two months to meet Grandpa.
- After more than three hundred gods ignored his summons, the Jade Emperor went to Tushita Palace to execute Laozi, whose Vajra Bracelet defeated Wu Qu Xing Jun and Taibai Jinxing before the Jade Emperor confronted him.
