• Yuan Feng gave Jing Cheng and Yu Xian talismans that concealed Heaven’s secrets and sent them to identify Hongjun’s disciples.
• Yuan Feng ruled out Wa Huang and Tongtian Daoist as targets, then assigned Jing Cheng to accompany him to Kunlun Mountain while Yu Xian went to watch Western Sumeru Mountain.

• Cang Mingzi agreed to Qing Wei’s plan while secretly resenting his junior brother’s growing influence, and the two set up a formation near Immortal Mountain before entering the heart of the Undying Fire.

• Li Mo learned that Cang Mingzi and Daoist Qing Wei wanted the String Puppet, then threw it toward Cang Mingzi.

Li Mo used the String Puppet to make Daoist Qing Wei kill Cang Mingzi, then erased Qing Wei’s memories to hide his involvement.

• Daoist Yuan Feng killed Daoist Qing Wei, took his belongings, and found a Primordial Pill that Daoist Jing Cheng sensed was strangely empty.
• Great Immortal Yang Mei learned that Daoist Qing Wei’s Primordial Spirit Tablet had shattered, then confirmed Jun Li was safe and headed to the Primordial World.

• Great Immortal Yang Mei accused Hong Jun of causing the deaths of his three disciples, and their clash left most of the Purple Skies Palace destroyed.
• Nuwa reached Penglai Island and told Li Mo what had happened; Li Mo feigned ignorance while privately celebrating Qing Wei’s death.

Li Mo’s thoughts led Di Jun to agree that the Demon Race would protect Nuwa’s Human Race, while Great Immortal Yang Mei and Hong Jun investigated Daoist Qing Wei’s death at Kunlun Mountain. Yang Mei uncovered the Inverted Sea’s involvement and confronted Daoist Yuanshi, leaving Hong Jun startled by his knowledge of the place.

• Di Jun agreed to help protect the Human Race after Eastern Emperor Tai Yi warned that they could burden the Demon Race, and Fu Xi vowed to defend them.

• Great Immortal Yang Mei met Daoist Kun Ling in the Inverted Sea, and Kun Ling revealed that he had appeared only through a clone.

Minghe began creating a new race as Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti arrived, hoping to follow Nuwa’s example.

• Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti arrived and discussed whether imitating Nuwa could help them find an opportunity to become Saints.

Di Jun met with Tongtian Daoist, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti, who sought his guidance on becoming Saints. He claimed to have found Jieyin and Zhunti’s opportunities and demanded two divine abilities in exchange, while Tongtian’s opportunity remained unknown.

• Di Jun summoned Li Mo after learning that Tongtian Daoist, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti had arrived at Penglai Island.
• Tongtian Daoist asked Di Jun to reveal where his opportunity for Sainthood lay, and Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti confirmed they had come for the same reason.

• Di Jun asked Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti to trade the Sumeru True Word and Six Zhang Golden Body Divine Ability for their guidance.

Di Jun traded Jieyin and Zhunti's secret Divine Abilities for advice about finding their opportunity, while Li Mo wondered how Di Jun knew so much. After Jieyin and Zhunti left for the Netherworld Blood Sea, Di Jun revealed that Tongtian's opportunity lay in founding the Interception Sect, leaving Li Mo suspicious that he might be a transmigrator.

• Li Mo praised Di Jun for choosing the Six Zhang Golden Body and Sumeru True Word, then Di Jun pressured Jieyin and Zhunti into handing over the two Divine Abilities.
• Di Jun gave the jade slip to Li Mo, who took it despite Zhunti's objection.
• Di Jun advised Jieyin and Zhunti to follow Nuwa's example and create a race, so they decided to go to the Netherworld Blood Sea.
• Di Jun told Tongtian that his opportunity lay in founding the Interception Sect and teaching all living beings, prompting Tongtian to leave with new insights.
• Li Mo tested Di Jun with a cryptic phrase and silently urged him to say a line that would confirm whether he was a transmigrator.

Li Mo instantly mastered the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and the Sumeru True Word, leaving Di Jun and the two Western Saints astonished. Di Jun began adapting the Golden Body for the Demon Race, while Jieyin and Zhunti reached the Netherworld Blood Sea and sat quietly as Minghe studied the Dao of creating life.

• Di Jun urged Li Mo to study the newly acquired techniques, but Li Mo immediately manifested the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and explained through his thoughts that Soul Law had greatly enhanced his comprehension.
• Li Mo used the Sumeru True Word to disorient Di Jun and the beings on Penglai Island, nearly prompting Di Jun to reveal that he was a transmigrator.
• Li Mo left to rest, and Di Jun decided to modify the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body so the Demon Race could strengthen their bodies against the Witch Clan.
• Jieyin and Zhunti sensed that Li Mo had mastered both techniques, then flew to the Netherworld Blood Sea to pursue their path to sainthood.
• Minghe noticed Jieyin and Zhunti sitting down to meditate, then returned to studying the Dao of creating life as the Netherworld Blood Sea grew calm.

Li Mo taught the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and Sumeru True Word to his subordinates, then traveled through Chaos to gather treasures and received Moon Spirit Fruit seeds. After rapidly growing and tasting the fruit, he returned to the God Slaying Gourd and decided to help his subordinates master the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.

• Li Mo taught the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and Sumeru True Word to the others inside the God Slaying Gourd.
• Di Jun told Li Mo he had spread the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body through the Demon Race, and Bai Ze demonstrated that he had mastered it.
• Li Mo sent his true body into Chaos for ten thousand years while his good corpse stayed at Mo Huang Palace, and he returned with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
• Li Mo received Moon Spirit Fruit seeds, planted them in the Grotto-heaven World, and used the Jade Gourd's growth-accelerating liquid to grow ripe fruit.
• Li Mo ate a Moon Spirit Fruit and felt his cultivation nearing a breakthrough, then decided to give the remaining fruit to You Lian and the others.
• Li Mo found that his subordinates had made little progress with the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and resolved to help them master it using ten Moon Spirit Fruits.

Li Mo empowered his followers with the Moon Spirit Fruit’s spiritual energy, then sent Jiu Chi out to gather information while the others continued cultivating. At a meeting with the Heavenly Emperor and other allies, Li Mo argued that the Demon Race should wait to aid the Human Race until it faced a grave crisis.

• Li Mo used the Moon Spirit Fruit to flood the God Slaying Gourd with spiritual energy, helping his followers master the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and advance their cultivation.
• Li Mo gave Jiu Chi a message talisman and sent him into the prehistoric world to gather information, while ordering the others to stay hidden and keep cultivating.
• Li Mo returned to Mo Huang Palace, gave the remaining Moon Spirit Fruits to his good corpse, and spent the night with Bai Qianqian and the others.
• Bi Fang summoned Li Mo to the Sun God Palace, where the Heavenly Emperor asked when the Demon Race should form an alliance with the Human Race.
• Li Mo advised waiting until the Human Race faced its greatest danger before offering help, so the Demon Race could earn its gratitude while preserving its own resources.

Di Jun decided to wait until the Human Race was truly in danger before helping them, but Minghe, Jieyin, and Zhunti’s attempt to create new races led to a struggle over the merit needed to become Saints. Minghe became powerful but failed to reach Sainthood, and the chapter ended with him attacking Jieyin and Zhunti.

• Di Jun and the others agreed to keep their people from harming the Human Race and to wait for a crisis before intervening.
• Minghe, Jieyin, and Zhunti created the Asura Clan and the Barbarian Race in the Netherworld Blood Sea, drawing down merit.
• Minghe received most of the merit and briefly believed he had become a Saint, while Jieyin and Zhunti received too little to reach Sainthood.
• Minghe realized he had not become a Saint and blamed Jieyin and Zhunti for ruining his chance.
• Minghe attacked Jieyin and Zhunti with the Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Blood Ravine Formation, and they fought back with their Sixteen-Foot Golden Bodies.

Jieyin and Zhunti fought Minghe after the Barbarian and Asura Races received merit, but neither side became Saints and both left badly wounded. Later, Tongtian became a Saint, while Laozi and Daoist Yuanshi learned from Hao Tian that their opportunity lay with the Human Race.

• Jieyin and Zhunti attacked Minghe in the Netherworld Blood Sea, but Minghe resisted the Sumeru True Word by wounding himself and triggering backlash that shattered Jieyin's Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.
• Zhunti took Jieyin and most of the Barbarian Race away, while the badly wounded Minghe left without pursuing them.
• Li Mo and Di Jun received the merit golden dragon, and Di Jun laughed at the fallout caused by his bluff.
• Tongtian became a Saint and established the Interception Sect, prompting Daoist Yuanshi and Laozi to regret not seeking Di Jun's advice earlier.
• Hao Tian told Laozi and Daoist Yuanshi that their opportunity lay with the Human Race, then left; Laozi departed for Shouyang Mountain.
