Arc 32The Primordial Heavenly Demon
After Venerable Yuanshi’s death, the Primordial Heavenly Demon took his place, seized the Chan Teachings, and began using ancient powers to pursue the Immortal Seed. Qin Mu broke through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, secured two Saint positions for the Sect of Interception, and learned the scale of the demon’s plan as it moved against Lu Ya.
- Qin Mu rescued Yaoji and reunited her with Yang Jian and Yang Chan, while Haotian restored Yaoji’s status and offered titles that Yang Jian rejected.
- The Primordial Heavenly Demon appeared at Kunlun Mountain as Yuanshi, killed the Dragon Emperor, and won the submission of the Chan Teachings by raising Guangchengzi to Sainthood with the Heaven-Burying Seal.
- Hongjun told Qin Mu that the Primordial Heavenly Demon was a survivor from an earlier era and begged him to intervene, so Qin Mu secured two Saint Throne Origins in exchange for helping.
- The Primordial Heavenly Demon enlisted Ji Fa and the Nine-Tailed Fox, gave them demonic seeds to restore some of their power, and ordered Ji Fa to attack Great Shang while he prepared to face Qin Mu.
- Qin Mu returned to the Sect of Interception and gave the two Saint Throne Origins to Yunxiao and Xi He, then identified the Investiture of the Gods Calamity as Duobao’s chance to become a Saint.
- Qin Mu secretly followed the Primordial Heavenly Demon to Tanggu Valley, where the demon demanded Lu Ya’s Great Sun Dao Source and revealed his plan to refine the Primordial Wilderness and draw forth the Immortal Seed.
