Chapter Summaries

Su Miao sparred with Houtu and learned that her many Dharma Treasures could not overcome the Ancestral Witch’s physical strength. After accepting gifts from the Ancestral Witches, she stayed with the Wu Race and got drunk on their Hundred Fruit Brew.

• Su Miao attacked Houtu with numerous Dharma Treasures, but Houtu endured the assault and stopped her with a single finger.
• Su Miao admitted defeat, and Houtu praised her while explaining the Wu Race’s advantage in physical cultivation.

• Su Miao accepted the gifts and stored them in the Chaos Bead before staying with the Wu Race and befriending its younger members.
• A Great Witch urged Su Miao to try Hundred Fruit Brew, and she drank until Xuan Ming caught her as she nearly fell into the bonfire.

Su Miao endured the Wu Race’s overwhelming affection while training on Buzhou Mountain and learning about Laws from the Ancestral Witches. After noticing Houtu’s faint Nascent Soul, Su Miao proposed that Evil Qi in the Blood Pool had eroded the Wu Race’s Nascent Souls, giving Houtu a possible path to change the race’s fate.

• Su Miao escaped the Wu Race’s constant cuddling by training under the pressure of Buzhou Mountain, but Great Witches repeatedly carried her back to be bathed, dressed, and fed.

• Su Miao noticed Houtu used a faint spiritual power and learned that Houtu possessed a weak Nascent Soul unlike the other Ancestral Witches.
• Su Miao reasoned that Evil Qi in the Blood Pool had worn away the Ancestral Witches’ Nascent Souls and that Houtu retained hers because she was born last.
• Houtu accepted Su Miao’s conjecture and became eager to test whether reducing the Blood Pool’s Evil Qi could allow the Wu Race to retain Nascent Souls.

Su Miao purified the Pangu Blood Pool enough for a newborn Great Witch to retain a weak Nascent Soul, revealing a new possibility for the Wu Race. The Ancestral Witches rewarded her with treasures, and she left them a Pure World White Lotus to keep calming the pool.

• Houtu brought Su Miao to Pangu Hall, where Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches agreed to test her theory on a nearly formed Great Witch.

Su Miao told the Three Pure Ones about five paths to becoming a Saint, prompting them to choose the methods best suited to their Dao.
