Chapter Summaries

The Undefeated Immortal Venerable, unable to advance within the current realm, resolved to forge a new path using the Heavenly Heart's origin and Ancestor Grade power.

• Someone outside Ting Han's room invited her to play mahjong.

• Hua Wuming claimed the Kaoshan Sect had someone stronger than the Witch Ancestor, and a man in white appeared above the forbidden grounds.

The Peak Master of Dao Origin Peak entered Ting Han’s Soul Sea to restore her memories and confronted Witch Ancestor, who trapped him with the Heaven Sealing Array. He revealed he was only an Incarnation, broke free, defeated Witch Ancestor’s projection, and recovered Ting Han’s memories, whose account of the Forbidden Land troubled him.

• Master Jiang called Hua Wuming the most normal of Dao Origin Peak’s Peak Masters, and Hua Wuming admitted he was looking forward to the Time of Heavenly Change.

At the ruins of the Dao Emperor Hall, Hua Yunfei vowed to avenge its dead and confronted Canglan before Yue Ning Progenitor revealed that the item she sought was still on her person. The chapter ended with Yue Ning Progenitor suspecting that her Lifebound Dao Weapon was the only remaining possibility.

• Hua Yunfei surveyed the ruined Dao Emperor Hall and vowed that Kaoshan Sect would bring its dead back and that he would settle his grudges.
• Yue Ning Progenitor warned Hua Yunfei that avenging the Dao Emperor Hall would be easier than standing up for the power behind him, and Hua Yunfei vowed that nothing would stop him.

• Yue Ning Progenitor revealed her treasures one by one, but Hua Yunfei said the item she sought was still on her person, leaving her to wonder whether it was her Lifebound Dao Weapon.

Hua Yunfei discovered that Yue Ning Progenitor’s white jade pagoda was the World Spirit Fragment he sought, but it had become inseparable from her Lifebound Dao Weapon. He returned the pagoda and the hairpin to her, then left the story with an invitation for her to join his sect.

• Yue Ning Progenitor summoned her white jade pagoda, and Hua Yunfei confirmed it was the World Spirit Fragment he had traveled to find.
• Hua Yunfei explained that the fragment had become a weapon-refining material, and Yue Ning Progenitor agreed to let him try to separate it from her weapon.
• Hua Yunfei failed to separate the fragment, saying the pagoda was too perfect and could no longer be divided from it.
• Hua Yunfei returned the pagoda to Yue Ning Progenitor and asked her to lend it to him if he urgently needed it in the future.
• Hua Yunfei returned Yue Ning Progenitor’s lost hairpin, and she promised to honor his request for the pagoda.
• Hua Yunfei asked Yue Ning Progenitor whether she had considered joining his sect.

Hua Yunfei failed to recruit Yue Ning Progenitor, who promised to safeguard the seventh World Spirit Fragment, and prepared to return to the Thirty-Three Heavens. Before he could leave Dao Emperor Hall, a mysterious Second-Step Hegemon attacked him and revealed himself as the Void Ancestor.

• Yue Ning Progenitor refused Hua Yunfei’s offer to join him but promised to keep his Lifebound Dao Weapon safe and deliver it when he needed it.
• Yue Ning Progenitor assured Hua Yunfei that the Ancient Clan of Strength would protect Gaishi, then returned to her clan.

Hua Yunfei learned that Dao Wuxu was the deceased Dao Emperor, who had founded Dao Emperor Hall and left behind a soul that reincarnated as Kaoshan Sect’s Tianji Peak progenitor. Dao Wuxu revealed that the Gu Family of the Thirty-Three Heavens had destroyed Dao Emperor Hall, leaving Hua Yunfei to consider the clan’s power and backing.

• Dao Wuxu told Hua Yunfei that he was dead and that the Dao Emperor had founded Dao Emperor Hall, which once ruled the Eastern Universe.
• Dao Wuxu explained that he had left a strand of his main soul with a Kaoshan Peak ancestor to reincarnate, while he stayed behind to protect his disciples.

Hua Yunfei discussed the Dao Emperor Hall’s destruction and the Immortal Emperor War with Dao Wuxu, who had survived to guard the ruins. Their conversation turned to Li Zu and Yue Ning Progenitor when Hua Yunfei showed Dao Wuxu portraits of Gaishi and Angel Sacred Emperor.

• Dao Wuxu recalled how the Gu Family had crushed the Dao Emperor Hall and devastated the Eastern Region Starry Sky.
• Hua Yunfei told Dao Wuxu about the Immortal Emperor War, including the Low-Level Heavenly Vault’s victories over the divided High-Level Heavenly Vault.
• Dao Wuxu explained that Li Zu had protected him by persuading the Gu Family to let him guard the Dao Emperor Hall’s ruins.
• Hua Yunfei said an elder in his sect resembled Yue Ning Progenitor and showed Dao Wuxu portraits of Gaishi and Angel Sacred Emperor.
• Dao Wuxu exclaimed that Gaishi’s appearance bore some resemblance to Li Zu.

Hua Yunfei and Dao Wuxu suspected that Gaishi’s resemblance to Li Zu and extraordinary talent might point to Li Zu’s deeper plans, perhaps a separated Dao Fruit. As Hua Yunfei prepared to check on Gaishi and God Emperor, Dao Wuxu showed him an old Dao Emperor Hall portrait, where Hua Yunfei recognized Yaya.

• Hua Yunfei worried that Li Zu’s plans might endanger Gaishi, who was with the Ancient Clan of Strength, and Dao Wuxu agreed Li Zu might be trying to obtain something through Kaoshan Sect.
• Dao Wuxu and Hua Yunfei judged that Gaishi’s resemblance and unusual potential most likely came from a separated Dao Fruit.

After Dao Wuxu joined him as an energy orb, Hua Yunfei set out with his companions for the Ancient Clan of Strength, where Emperor Zuntian advised him to speak calmly with Li Zu about Gaishi.

• Hua Yunfei found Caihua’s portrait and learned from her bamboo-slip record that she had no listed age or cultivation and lived at Huashan, a place the others could not locate.
• Hua Yunfei sensed that the bamboo slip was guiding him to the Western Universe, and Dao Wuxu became an energy orb in his palm after encouraging him to cultivate.
• Hua Yunfei, Gong Qingyan, Jiang Ruoyao, and Huantao left the Dao Emperor Hall ruins and headed toward the Ancient Clan of Strength to visit Gaishi.
• Emperor Zuntian met Hua Yunfei outside the clan and urged him to discuss Gaishi’s situation with Li Zu rather than resort to force.
• Emperor Zuntian privately told Huantao that Hua Yunfei had begun to suspect her identity because of her habitual gestures and speech, and she thanked him for the warning.

Hua Yunfei visited the Ancient Clan of Strength to ensure Gaishi was safe and asked Yue Ning Progenitor to convey his offer to Li Zu. The chapter ended with Yue Ning Progenitor wondering who Li Zu’s mysterious backer was.

• Hua Yunfei learned that Gaishi was cultivating in a forbidden ground under Elder Ancestor Gai Yan’s guidance and could not be visited.
• Hua Yunfei told Yue Ning Progenitor that he would protect Gaishi and asked to meet Li Zu, but she refused because Li Zu had entered important seclusion.

• The Venerable Lord watched everything through Huantao's eyes.

Hua Yunfei helped the Woman in Red Dress tend the graves and learned she wanted him to kill Dao Wushuang, though Jiang Ruoyao suspected Dao Wushuang himself might be behind the request.
