Chapter Summaries

Zhurong and Gonggong’s battle devastated Buzhou Mountain, prompting Tongtian to move Biyou Palace to the East Sea despite his senior brothers’ ridicule. Zhurong’s collision also broke Queen Mother of the West’s palace free from the mountain, where it became a safe, spiritually rich Dao Field as a familiar voice greeted her.

• Zhurong and Gonggong fought across Buzhou Mountain, killing countless creatures and shaking the range while the Three Pure Ones and Queen Mother of the West protected their Dao Fields.
• Taishang Laojun predicted that one Ancestor Wu would fall, while Yuanshi mocked Tongtian for worrying that Buzhou Mountain might break.
• Tongtian uprooted Biyou Palace with the Boundless Dao Art and moved it to the far end of the East Sea, then endured Taishang and Yuanshi’s scolding.
• Zhurong crashed into a corner of Buzhou Mountain, splitting off the section beneath Queen Mother of the West’s palace and sending it drifting westward.
• Queen Mother of the West found her isolated mountain brimming with immortal energy, and a familiar voice congratulated her on her newly independent Dao Field.

Haotian and Queen Mother of the West joined forces to govern the Immortal Court, drawing new recruits but not winning the support of powerful immortals. Meanwhile, Gonggong shattered Buzhou Mountain, opening a hole in the sky and threatening the Human Race; Nuwa, short of Five-Colored Stones, was summoned to find more.

• Haotian congratulated Queen Mother of the West and persuaded her to announce an alliance governing the Immortal Court.
• The alliance attracted dozens of new recruits to each register, though powerful beings still held back without Hongjun's approval.
• After losing to Zhurong, Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain and broke it, destroying parts of the Sanqing palaces and splitting off Kunlun Mountain.
• Zhurong fled to Nanming as the broken pillar left a hole in the sky, and a torrent poured toward the Human Race.
• Nuwa discovered she had only one Five-Colored Stone left and worried she could not mend the heavens.
• An unnamed voice told Nuwa it knew where the last Heaven-Mending Stones could be found and asked her to come along.

Nuwa and Yuanfeng became sworn sisters and traveled to Flower-Fruit Mountain to find Five-Colored Stone for mending the heavens. Nuwa unearthed a large piece, but the mountain’s Spirit Stone began trying to absorb it.

• Nuwa asked Yuanfeng whether more Five-Colored Stone existed, and Yuanfeng said some lay beneath Flower-Fruit Mountain.
• Yuanfeng offered to carry Nuwa there, but Nuwa proposed that they become sworn sisters instead.
• Nuwa and Yuanfeng swore vows to the Heavenly Dao, which responded, and Nuwa rode on Yuanfeng’s back to Flower-Fruit Mountain.
• The mountain’s Spirit Stone absorbed the remaining Five-Colored Stone Nuwa carried and briefly trembled as if trying to take form.
• Nuwa found a huge piece of Five-Colored Stone ten thousand zhang underground, and the Spirit Stone began pulling it toward itself.

Nuwa mended the heavens again and gained the merit and human faith needed to become a Saint. After Kunpeng failed to claim the Saint's throne, Nuwa took her seat and thanked Beichen, while Yuanshi demanded that he return the Pangu Banner.

• Nuwa used the Five-Colored Stone to mend the sky, stopping the magma and easing the floods across the Primordial World.
• The Human Race praised Nuwa, and their faith combined with Heavenly Dao Merit to form a golden Saint's throne.
• Kunpeng tried to sit on the throne but was struck down by its golden light and admitted that it would not accept him.
• Beichen arrived with Ling Cair, and Nuwa and Yuanfeng greeted them; Nuwa then sat on the throne and became a Saint.
• Nuwa thanked Beichen for guiding her, while Yuanshi demanded that Beichen return the Pangu Banner.

Primordial Lord of Heaven asked Nuwa and the other Saints to help him reclaim the Pangu Banner from Beichen, but they refused to support his accusation. He was left furious and without allies as Nuwa and Tongtian declared the dispute had nothing to do with them.

• Primordial Lord of Heaven urged Nuwa and Taishang Laojun to join forces against Beichen, but Nuwa rebuked him for losing the Pangu Banner bestowed by the Master.
• Nuwa asked Beichen whether he had taken the banner, and Beichen denied it and accused Primordial Lord of Heaven of framing him.
• Tongtian and Kunpeng refused to testify against Beichen, while Jieyin and Zhunti also claimed they had seen nothing.
• Nuwa declined to force Beichen to confess, saying the conflicting accounts made the dispute none of her business.
• Tongtian agreed with Nuwa and told Primordial Lord of Heaven that reclaiming his own treasure was not his responsibility.

After Nuwa became a Saint, Primordial Lord of Heaven resolved to pursue sainthood through the Human Race, while Beichen reassured Minghe and reunited Yuanfeng with Ling Cair. Back at Immortal Island Palace, Beichen offered Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hong Yun a chance to become Saints.

• Primordial Lord of Heaven left after deciding to establish a teaching that would guide people toward immortality and earn him sainthood.
• Taishang Laojun and Tongtian congratulated Nuwa, and Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and the others departed with new insights.
• Beichen told Minghe to remain in the Nether River and prepare for his chance to become a Saint.
• Yuanfeng reunited with Ling Cair, explained that she and Nuwa had sworn sisterhood, and thanked Beichen for caring for her granddaughter.
• After returning to Immortal Island Palace, Beichen told Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hong Yun he would give them a chance to become Saints.

Beichen told Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, and Ancestor Hong Yun that chances to become Sages existed, then assembled a group for an unexplained journey. He left Three Immortal Islands under strict orders and asked Minghe and Great Emperor Ziwei whether they had ever been to heaven.

• Beichen said there were many chances to become Sages, though seizing one would be difficult.
• Beichen sent Kunpeng to notify Ancestor Minghe and bring Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole from the Central Immortal Court.
• Beichen told Bai Xiaoya to keep Immortal Island Palace’s residents on Three Immortal Islands until he returned.
• Bai Xiaoya warned the residents that dangers remained outside, prompting Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming to challenge her before Six-Eared Macaque restored calm.
• Kunpeng returned with Minghe and Great Emperor Ziwei, and Beichen asked whether they had ever been to heaven.
• Great Emperor Ziwei began to say he was already in heaven, then realized Beichen meant a different heaven.

Beichen took five mighty experts on an arduous ascent far beyond the thirty-six layers of heaven, where they struggled to keep up and nearly lost control. After reaching a vast transparent barrier and helping them steady themselves, he left them confronting how insignificant they were beside him.

• Kunpeng bragged that soaring ninety thousand miles meant he had been to the heavens, but Hong Yun pointed out that his boast sounded unimpressive beside the thirty-six layers of heaven.
• Beichen decided not to wake the injured Dijun or the sleeping Taiyi and their family, and set off with Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, Great Emperor Ziwei, and Minghe.
• Beichen flew upward through space by shifting between reality and illusion, while his companions struggled to follow and Minghe carried Great Emperor Ziwei in a river of blood.
• As they passed hundreds of layers of heaven, stellar power pulled Great Emperor Ziwei upward until Beichen steadied him.
• After several hundred years of travel, Beichen reached a vast transparent barrier and waited decades for the exhausted others to arrive.
• Kunpeng crashed into the barrier, and Beichen lifted him and steadied the group; the five experts realized how insignificant and vulnerable they were in that place.

Beichen brought five great powers to the Great Void and explained how the Primordial World fit within a vast hierarchy of realms, with a path to sainthood beyond the barrier. After their attacks failed to pierce it, Beichen promised to help them enter the Small Chaos Realm.

• Kunpeng and Great Emperor Ziwei realized how far beyond their imagined heaven the Great Void lay, and Beichen explained that even saints would struggle to reach it.
• Beichen identified the barrier as the route to the Three Thousand Great Daos and named the realms beyond it the Solar System and the Milky Way.
• Beichen explained that the Primordial World was a speck of dust within the Great Thousand Chaos and that cultivating laws there alone could not lead to sainthood.
• Zhen Yuanzi worried that they could not survive the astral winds and Spacetime Turbulence beyond the barrier.
• The five great powers struck the barrier with their full strength, but it absorbed their attacks without a ripple.
• When Zhen Yuanzi despaired of ever becoming a saint, Beichen told him he would help them find a way into the Small Chaos Realm.

Beichen took Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe, Kunpeng, Hong Yun, and another mighty figure into the Great Void to show them the path toward sainthood. As they returned to the Great Desolate World, Primordial Lord of Heaven attained sainthood by founding the Chan Sect, then demanded that Beichen return his Pangu Banner.

• Beichen crossed the barrier into the Small Chaos Realm and calmly subdued its turbulence, but bounced back when he reached the boundary of the Chaos Realm.
• Beichen told the five mighty figures that entering the Small Chaos Realm could help them find their paths to sainthood, but they first had to break through the Great Void barrier themselves.
• Ancestor Minghe gained an insight, and the five returned on Beichen's water-light disc with broadened horizons and renewed confidence.
• Beichen let the five keep the water-light disc for future training and urged them to learn to reach the Great Void through their own cultivation.
• After several hundred years, the five looked down on the Great Desolate World and saw Nuwa Palace drawing on the Human Race's fortune.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven declared that he had founded the Chan Sect by taking humanity as his foundation, attained sainthood, and shouted at Beichen to return his Pangu Banner.

Zhen Yuanzi invited Beichen and the others to Wuzhuang Temple and served them ginseng fruit, but their requests for more left him regretting the feast. The chapter ended with Beichen proposing that they harvest four more rounds of fruit.

• Primordial Lord of Heaven chose to remain in Jade Void Palace and improve his cultivation rather than challenge Beichen.
• Zhen Yuanzi invited Beichen, Hong Yun, Kunpeng, Minghe, and Great Emperor Ziwei to Wuzhuang Temple to eat ginseng fruit.
• Zhen Yuanzi harvested six fruits, but Hong Yun swallowed his too quickly to taste it while the others savored theirs.
• Hong Yun, Kunpeng, Minghe, and Great Emperor Ziwei asked Zhen Yuanzi to harvest more fruit.
• Beichen said he also had not tasted the fruit properly and asked for five fruits each, leaving Zhen Yuanzi regretting his question.

Zhen Yuanzi lost his Ginseng Fruits to Beichen and the other mighty figures, while Beichen advanced his plans on the Three Immortal Islands and freed the Golden Crows. Tongtian perfected Teaching Without Discrimination, became a Saint, and opened Biyou Palace to disciples from across the Primordial World.

• Beichen and the others ate Zhen Yuanzi's Ginseng Fruits, then saw the Yellow Middle Plum tree mature and blossom on Yingzhou Island.
• Beichen gave Great Emperor Ziwei the Star Tree of the Heavens and urged him to study it and seek the Dao in the Chaos Realm.
• Beichen remembered the Ten Golden Crows, released them from the Extremely Cold Ice Cave, and welcomed them to stay at the Three Immortal Islands in their new Ten Yang Palace.
• Tongtian perfected Teaching Without Discrimination and became a Saint, drawing countless demon immortals, spirits, fiends, and monsters to Biyou Palace to seek discipleship.

As Biyou Palace celebrated Tongtian’s ascension to sagehood, Qiongxiao and Bixiao asked him to improve their roots so they could reach the Great Encompassment Realm. Beichen arrived with a congratulatory gift and revealed that he had mastered a method to do so, leaving Tongtian astonished.

• Biyou Palace recruited more than ten thousand disciples, while Tongtian assigned most of them as outer disciples and welcomed messages congratulating him on becoming a sage.
• Tongtian told his personal disciples they could establish their own sects and take disciples, as long as they brought their granddisciples to Biyou Palace for him to see.
• Qiongxiao and Bixiao asked Tongtian to improve their roots, but he admitted that he had no way to do it.
• Beichen arrived to congratulate Tongtian and offered to improve Qiongxiao and Bixiao’s roots using the Nine Revolutions Great Law.
• Tongtian questioned whether Beichen could really change the sisters’ roots, and Beichen asked him to choose a Daoist abode where he could perform the method.

Beichen used the Nine Revolutions Great Law to improve Qiongxiao and Bixiao’s roots, while Tongtian faced criticism from Taishang Laojun and Primordial Lord of Heaven over his disciples and teachings. After the Two Cloud Sisters reached Grand Unity and nearly Quasi-Saint roots, Beichen sensed something outside Biyou Palace and declared that Tongtian’s sainthood marked the start of a new era.

• Beichen explained three methods for improving roots and taught Tongtian the Nine Revolutions Great Law, which Tongtian recognized as capable of raising roots to the Quasi-Saint level.
• Beichen took Qiongxiao and Bixiao to a side palace to improve their roots as Taishang Laojun and Primordial Lord of Heaven arrived to congratulate Tongtian.
• Taishang Laojun and Primordial Lord of Heaven challenged Tongtian’s acceptance of demons as disciples, insulted his followers, and left after Tongtian dismissed them.
• Beichen brought Qiongxiao and Bixiao back with Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation and nearly Quasi-Saint roots, delighting Tongtian.
• Beichen sensed something outside Biyou Palace and told Tongtian that his day of sainthood marked the beginning of a new era.

Hongjun’s edict established the Heavenly Court under Haotian and Queen Mother of the West, while declaring humanity the coming protagonist of the Primordial World. As the new order took shape, Beichen left Biyou Palace after predicting humanity’s long ascendancy and rejecting Tongtian’s claim that no more Saints would appear.

• Hongjun issued an edict ending the Witch-Demon Tribulation, establishing the Heavenly Court, appointing Haotian and Queen Mother of the West, and laying out the roles of heaven, earth, and humanity.
• Immortals and gods registered with the new court, but Haotian found it short on powerful supporters; Tongtian rejected its authority over the Interception Sect, while Taishang Laojun accepted a title from afar.
• Xing Tian gathered the Great Witches and prepared to challenge Haotian, as the Witch Clan and Human Race contended for dominion and demons hid among humanity.
• Tongtian asked Beichen about the world’s new order, and Beichen said humanity would remain the protagonist while the Heavenly Court and Netherworld served as auxiliaries.
• Beichen prepared to leave Biyou Palace, and when Tongtian declared that no Saints would follow the Six Saints, Beichen turned back and called his claim bullshit.

Tongtian worried that Beichen’s disciples might become Great Dao Saints, while Primordial Lord of Heaven nursed a grudge against Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao. At Nine Heavens Cliff, Beichen used the Tai Xu Mirror to observe Nuwa and heard her attendant Bairen vow to become a great immortal of humanity, a name that struck him as familiar.

• Tongtian wondered whether Beichen’s lineage would produce several Great Dao Saints, then calmed himself by imagining Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao might become two of them.
• Tongtian ended his celebration and sent his disciples away; Zhao Gongming and the Sanxiao returned to the Three Immortal Islands.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven watched Zhao Gongming and the Sanxiao through a mystic mirror and vowed to punish Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao for their insults.
• Beichen visited Nine Heavens Cliff and used the Tai Xu Mirror to observe Nuwa speaking with Bairen about the Human Race and immortality.
• Bairen vowed to become a great immortal on humanity’s path and bless the Human Race, and Beichen wondered why his name sounded familiar.

Beichen watched Ksitigarbha prepare to enter the Netherworld and decided to stop the Western Sect from claiming its fortune. He waited unseen at the gates and struck Ksitigarbha as he arrived, sending him flying.

• Beichen recognized Bairen as possibly the future Jade Emperor Zhang Bainian and reflected on the many tribulations he still had to endure.
• Beichen observed Houtu’s orderly Netherworld and understood that she had allied with the Heavenly Court to preserve peace.
• Beichen saw Ksitigarbha agree to establish the Great Vow Sect in the Netherworld and resolved to drive him away.
• Ksitigarbha set out for the Netherworld, and Jieyin and Zhunti encouraged him to go establish the sect’s foothold there.
• Beichen hid at the Netherworld’s gates and struck Ksitigarbha as he was about to enter, sending him flying.

Ksitigarbha was ambushed at the Netherworld gates and returned injured to Jieyin and Zhunti, who set out to investigate. Beichen revealed to Houtu that they were fellow disciples and left his Divine Turtle Shell to guard the gates.

• Ksitigarbha was struck by a green turtle shell at the Netherworld gates and was blasted back to Thunderclap Hall.
• Jieyin healed Ksitigarbha, then he and Zhunti decided to visit the Netherworld and investigate the attacker.
• Beichen met Houtu outside the Netherworld and showed her his Saint's Golden Bracelet, revealing their shared master, Great Immortal Yang Mei.
• Houtu welcomed Beichen as her senior brother, and he warned her not to let wicked people settle in the Netherworld.
• Beichen left his Great Dao Divine Turtle Shell at the gates to protect the Netherworld, and Houtu returned home overjoyed.

Beichen protected Houtu’s residence with the Divine Turtle Shell, then gifted Haotian the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to help establish the Heavenly Court. The hall drew immortals from across the world, and the Heavenly Court’s fortune grew.

• Houtu remembered Beichen’s warning and refused to let Jieyin and Zhunti enter the Netherworld.
• Jieyin and Zhunti struck the Divine Turtle Shell at the gate, blamed Beichen for blocking their plans, and decided to seek an alliance with Houtu later.
• Beichen arrived at the Heavenly Court, where Haotian and Great Emperor Ziwei welcomed him.
• Beichen gave Haotian the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to serve as the Heavenly Court’s main palace.
• The registered immortals and deities gathered at the new hall and settled in the Heavenly Court, increasing its fortune.

Beichen gave the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to Haotian, strengthening the Heavenly Court, while Hongjun wondered at his motives. When Jieyin and Zhunti attacked Hong Yun near Fire Cloud Cave, Beichen intervened with a sneak attack, and a powerful immortal newly arrived from the chaos noticed the commotion.

• Beichen gifted the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to Haotian, and Great Emperor Ziwei saw him off with gratitude.
• Haotian welcomed the hall as a boon to the Heavenly Court, which began attracting immortals, while Hongjun watched Beichen but could not read his thoughts.
• A powerful immortal entered the Primordial World from the chaos, claimed the West as his Dao Field, and began cultivating beneath a great tree.
• Jieyin and Zhunti pursued Hong Yun around Fire Cloud Cave, determined to kill him over their old grievance.
• Beichen sensed Hong Yun was in danger and struck Jieyin and Zhunti with a surprise attack, sending them crashing toward Mount Sumeru.
• The newly arrived immortal heard the Two Sages cry out and opened his eyes.
