Nuwa, Fu Xi, and Kunpeng destroyed Xizi's gathered spirit, destabilizing the Twelve Heavens God-Demon Array and threatening to make the Witch-Demon battle end in mutual destruction. As the formations neared collapse, Jieyin and Zhunti discussed the coming casualties and renewed their resentment toward Beichen.

The Twelve Heavens God-Demon Array collapsed, devastating the Demon Court and killing many demons and Ancestral Witches while the survivors escaped or were rescued. Houtu established the underworld and Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Beichen realized she might be his long-lost junior sister.

• The three mysterious crimson imprints appeared in the western sky, then vanished when Beichen tried to inspect them.
• The Twelve Heavens God-Demon Array collapsed with Pangu’s true form, destroying the Star Dou Grand Formation and killing most of the Demon Court’s forces; Bai Ze escaped into the East Sea.

Houtu became a Great Dao Saint after creating the Netherworld and reincarnation, alarming the Three Purities. Taishang Laojun ignored her request to spare the Ancestral Witches and led Yuanshi and Tongtian to kill Dijiang, then discovered something unexpected while searching for the survivors.

• Houtu created the Netherworld and six paths of reincarnation, and Taishang Laojun respectfully greeted her.
• Houtu asked the Three Purities to stop opposing the Ancestral Witches, but Taishang Laojun decided they should kill Dijiang, Gonggong, Zhurong, and Zhujiuyin.
• After Houtu left to tend to the Netherworld, Taishang Laojun led Yuanshi and Tongtian to hunt down Dijiang.
• The Three Purities trapped Dijiang with their treasures and killed him with Tongtian's Purple Lightning Hammer.
• Taishang Laojun decided to pursue Zhurong and Gonggong before Zhujiuyin, but his divination left him astonished.

Sanqing failed to locate the fleeing Ancestor Wuzhu Rong, Gonggong, and Zhujiuyin, then spotted Old Ancestor Kunpeng and joined Jieyin and Zhunti in hunting him. Yuanshi used Yuqing Divine Talismans to intercept Kunpeng, leaving the three pursuers blocking his escape.

• Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi, and Tongtian could not find Ancestor Wuzhu Rong, Gonggong, or Zhujiuyin, and agreed that Yuanshi and Tongtian should hurry to become Saints.
• Sanqing saw Old Ancestor Kunpeng fleeing with immense destiny and power, and Yuanshi resolved to kill him because of their old grievance in Zixiao Palace.
• Jieyin and Zhunti told Yuanshi they were pursuing Kunpeng over his refusal to yield his seat in Zixiao Palace.
• Yuanshi offered to help catch Kunpeng in exchange for his nine-colored feathers, while Jieyin and Zhunti agreed to give them to him.
• Yuanshi gave Jieyin and Zhunti Yuqing Divine Talismans, and the three used them to teleport ahead of Kunpeng and surround him.

Primordial Lord of Heaven, Jieyin, and Zhunti tried to kill Kunpeng, but he evaded their attacks and escaped their encirclement. The three began wearing him down with Buddhist magic as the pursuit continued.

• Primordial Lord of Heaven accused Kunpeng of unresolved karma and joined Jieyin and Zhunti in confronting him.
• Kunpeng taunted Primordial Lord of Heaven, then feinted an attack on Zhunti and slipped through the trio’s blockade.
• Kunpeng fled at full speed, deflecting Jieyin’s Divine Banner, Green Lotus Precious Color Banner, and Eight Treasures Universe Bag with his divine power.
• Jieyin suggested wearing Kunpeng down, and he began tapping a wooden fish while Buddhist light and chants filled the air.

Kunpeng was trapped by Jieyin, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Zhunti as their treasures overwhelmed his defenses. With escape no longer possible, he called out to Dao Ancestor Beichen for help.

• Jieyin trapped Kunpeng with the wooden fish’s Buddhist chants, but Kunpeng used his ancestral residence to repel the ripples and flee.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven blocked Kunpeng with the Pangu Banner, while his Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and Zhunti’s Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree attacked him.
• Kunpeng used the River Map and Luo Book to fend off Zhunti’s sneak attack, forcing Zhunti to recall the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.
• Jieyin brought out the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, and its pressure combined with the Pangu Banner to trap Kunpeng.
• Zhunti, Jieyin, and Primordial Lord of Heaven pressed their attacks while Kunpeng struggled to hold on and called for Dao Ancestor Beichen.

Beichen arrived at the battlefield to rescue Kunpeng, the Grand Elder of his Immortal Island Palace, from Jieyin, Zhunti, and Primordial Lord of Heaven. He freed Kunpeng and challenged Primordial Lord of Heaven, who swung the Pangu Banner at him.

• Jieyin used the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and its binding hook to silence and restrain Kunpeng while the three immortals wore him down.
• Beichen passed Nuwa as she cared for injured members of the Human Race, then met Tongtian and revealed that Kunpeng was his palace's Grand Elder.
• Beichen attacked Jieyin and Zhunti with the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler and the Universe Great Dao Mystic Turtle Shell, breaking their techniques and forcing them back.
• Kunpeng broke free of the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and pleaded with Beichen for help as Primordial Lord of Heaven restrained him with the Pangu Banner.
• Beichen summoned his Boundless Immortal Body of the Great Dao and challenged Primordial Lord of Heaven, who abandoned Kunpeng and swung the Pangu Banner at Beichen.

Beichen neutralized Yuanshi’s attacks with the Pangu Banner and seized the treasure before Yuanshi could unleash its deadliest technique. Jieyin and Zhunti knocked back Beichen’s other treasures and concluded that the Mysterious Turtle was not very strong.

• Yuanshi used the Pangu Banner’s Heaven-Opening Blades against Beichen, but Beichen’s Water Dao repaired the shattered space and nullified them.
• Beichen dispelled Yuanshi’s Creation Mystic Light and shattered the Primordial Barrier with chaotic power.
• Yuanshi prepared to unleash Heaven and Earth Perish Together, but Beichen stopped the Pangu Banner and took it into the Universe Ruyi Bottle.
• Beichen withdrew his Dao power after Jieyin and Zhunti knocked back the Divine Turtle Shell and the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
• Jieyin and Zhunti celebrated their new strength, and Jieyin claimed that the Mysterious Turtle was not that strong.

Beichen confronted Jieyin and Zhunti while Tongtian and Taishang Laojun intervened, and the Western sages backed down rather than fight. When Taishang demanded Beichen return Yuanshi’s Pangu Banner, Jieyin and Zhunti urged the sages to unite against Beichen and Kunpeng, leaving a larger battle looming.

• Beichen mocked Jieyin and Zhunti over their earlier defeat, while Tongtian taunted them and Taishang Laojun blocked their path.
• Taishang Laojun restrained the confrontation, and Jieyin and Zhunti agreed to treat Tongtian’s insults as a joke.
• Beichen defended Kunpeng after Jieyin insulted him, then prepared to return to Immortal Island Palace with Kunpeng.
• Taishang Laojun stopped Beichen and demanded the Pangu Banner, while Yuanshi and Tongtian also asked Beichen to return it.
• Jieyin and Zhunti seized on the dispute over the banner and called on the five sages to join forces against Beichen and Kunpeng.

Beichen refused to return the Pangu Banner as the Sanqing and the Two Sages of the West prepared to attack him. Tongtian withdrew from the fight and led Kunpeng away to talk about the Demon Race, leaving Beichen facing four opponents.

• Zhunti proposed that five of them join forces against Beichen, and Taishang Laojun agreed when Beichen refused to return the Pangu Banner.
• Kunpeng considered fleeing, but Tongtian announced that he would not oppose his friend Beichen.

• Beichen assured Kunpeng that Tongtian would not harm him and told him to follow Yuanshi's instructions.
• Beichen called the four opponents tiny ants and challenged them to attack, while Tongtian led the worried Kunpeng toward the horizon for a talk.

Beichen effortlessly countered the Saints’ treasures, damaging several before declaring that he would leave. As the four Saints prepared a killing formation, Beichen began to destroy his fading body, and Taishang Laojun realized it was only a clone.

• Taishang Laojun attacked Beichen with the Taiji Diagram, but Beichen replicated its power with the Water Dao and sent the treasure rebounding.
• Taishang Laojun’s Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was repelled by Beichen’s Mysterious Turtle Shell.
• Jieyin and Zhunti attacked with their Buddhist treasures, but Beichen turned their power against them and drove them away in pain.
• Beichen used the Chaos Bead to damage Primordial Lord of Heaven’s Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag and Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.
• Beichen called Kunpeng away from Tongtian, then began to fade as the four Saints prepared the Four Symbols Killing Formation.
• Taishang Laojun realized Beichen was only a clone when Beichen began to unleash a destructive force from within.

Beichen’s clone destroyed itself to escape the battle with Sanqing and the Two Sages of the West, leaving the survivors shocked by the strength of his true body. Meanwhile, Zhurong and Gonggong found themselves trapped in a dark, unfamiliar world as a gate opened behind them.

• Beichen’s clone unleashed a devastating explosion, and the four Immortal Sages escaped; Tongtian realized the destroyed body had been only a clone.
• Jieyin and Zhunti first celebrated Beichen’s supposed death, then learned from Taishang Laojun that he had destroyed a clone.
• Taishang Laojun led Sanqing away to cultivate, while he and the Two Sages of the West vowed to grow stronger and face Beichen again.
• Kunpeng reached Penglai Immortal Island, where Bai Xiaoya told him Beichen’s true body was waiting in the palace.
• Zhurong and Gonggong realized they had entered another world while following the Dao of Water and Fire underground, and a dark gate creaked open behind them.

Houtu told Gonggong and Zhurong that most of the Ancestral Witches had died and urged them to abandon the war, but they left to lead the surviving Witch Clan. Back at Pangu Temple, the brothers disputed who should command the clan, leaving the leadership undecided.

• Houtu revealed that Dijiang and seven other Ancestral Witches had died, while Xuanming was missing and Zhujiuyin had likely hidden in the River of Time.
• Houtu urged Gonggong and Zhurong to stop fighting and protect the surviving Witch Clan, but the brothers left the Netherworld to lead their people.
• Xing Tian and the other Great Witches waited at Pangu Temple and considered making Xing Tian their leader while worrying about the growing Human Race.
• Gonggong and Zhurong returned and announced that the Witch Clan needed a leader to command its campaigns.
• Gonggong and Zhurong each claimed the leadership and prepared to settle their dispute by fighting.

Zhurong and Gonggong fought to decide who would lead the Witch Clan, while Taishang Laojun waited for their conflict to weaken them. Three drops of Pangu's Essence Blood appeared in the west, prompting the Sanqing to hurry there and claim them.

• Gonggong challenged Zhurong to a fight to determine the Witch Clan's leader, and Zhurong accepted.
• Zhurong and Gonggong clashed with their Fire and Water Dao powers as the Witch Clan watched.
• Jiang Hui and Xiangliu explained that the fight would establish who had the final say when leading the clan.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven and Sect Master Tongtian asked Taishang Laojun whether they should attack the Ancestral Witches, but he said they should wait until one died.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven recognized three red auras in the west as drops of Pangu's Essence Blood, and Taishang Laojun urged the Sanqing to claim them.

Beichen seized the three drops of Pangu Essence Blood from Sanqing and the Two Sages of the West, then refused to return them. He faced down Jieyin and Taishang Laojun as the others demanded that he hand over the treasure.

• After nearly a thousand years of waiting, Beichen saw the light of Pangu Essence Blood reflected on the Sun Star and Moon Star and hurried toward it.
• Jieyin shrank the three mountain-sized drops of Essence Blood and tried to claim them, but Taishang Laojun drove him back and blocked Zhunti.
• As Sanqing moved to take the Essence Blood, Beichen snared all three drops and stored them in his Qiankun Ruyi Treasure Bottle.
• Jieyin and Zhunti demanded that Beichen return the treasure, while Beichen mocked their claim and reminded them of their attempt to seize Kunpeng.
• Jieyin blocked Beichen's way and Taishang Laojun demanded the Essence Blood, but Beichen said he would simply leave with it.

Beichen claimed the Pangu Essence Blood and used Tongtian’s concern for Qiongxiao and Bixiao to persuade him not to contest it. After Sanqing left rather than fight, Jieyin and Zhunti challenged Beichen and were overwhelmed by his giant shoehorns.

• Beichen told Tongtian he intended to use two drops of Pangu Essence Blood to improve Qiongxiao and Bixiao’s foundations, leaving the final drop for himself.
• Tongtian accepted Beichen’s plan, while Taishang Laojun and Primordial Lord of Heaven declined to fight him and left with Sanqing.
• Jieyin and Zhunti demanded the Pangu Essence Blood and threatened to attack Beichen.
• Beichen transformed Water Dao into enormous shoehorns that knocked away the Two Sages of the West’s treasures and battered them repeatedly.

Beichen defeated Jieyin and Zhunti and took the Pangu Essence Blood back to the Three Immortal Islands. There, Qiongxiao and Bixiao asked him to help improve their cultivation, and he set out to divide a drop of essence blood for them.

• Beichen used his Water Dao shoehorn to send Jieyin and Zhunti flying, then left with the Pangu Essence Blood.
• Jieyin and Zhunti returned to the area, blamed their defeat on being caught off guard, and decided to cultivate and seek treasures rather than attack Beichen at the Three Immortal Islands.
• Qiongxiao and Bixiao asked Beichen for help after learning their cultivation had reached the limit of their innate potential.
• Beichen promised to find a way to help the sisters reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, leaving them unsure whether to trust his reassurance.
• Beichen took out a drop of Pangu Essence Blood and considered dividing it into several portions to improve Qiongxiao and Bixiao's innate potential.

Beichen spent three years exhausting himself to split a drop of Pangu Essence Blood into two portions for Qiongxiao and Bixiao, then began recovering his spiritual energy. Meanwhile, Haotian's attempt to stop Gonggong and Zhurong from fighting brought Sanqing into the conflict, and the two Ancestral Witches resumed their battle at Buzhou Mountain.

• Beichen repeatedly struck Pangu Essence Blood with a Water Dao blade until, after three years and twenty million slashes, he split it into two portions.
• Beichen stored one portion of Pangu Essence Blood for Qiongxiao and one for Bixiao, then meditated to restore his depleted spiritual energy.
• Gonggong and Zhurong continued fighting as the Great Witches hunted the surviving Demon Race figures.
• Haotian tried to stop Gonggong and Zhurong near the Immortal Court, but they attacked him together and drove him to seek help from Sanqing.
• Sanqing shielded Haotian and ordered the two Witches to leave, but Gonggong and Zhurong blamed each other and resumed fighting at Buzhou Mountain.
