Chapter Summaries

Di Tian gave the Witch Race White Jade Divine Marrow and told them to test the Demon Race by damaging its foundations and forcing Hong Jun to reveal his hidden cards. The plan shifted when Di Jiang revealed that Di Jun would marry a mysterious Taiyin Goddess in a thousand years, leaving Di Tian suspicious of the accelerated Heavenly Marriage and the goddess’s origins.

• Di Tian gave Di Jiang a hundred drops of White Jade Divine Marrow and warned the Witch Race to let Hou Tu follow her own path while protecting her from harm.
• Di Tian ordered the Witch Race to strike the Demon Race Heavenly Court and damage Di Jun, Taiyi, Kun Peng, and its key personnel to force Hong Jun to reveal his treasures.

• Di Jiang told Di Tian that Di Jun had announced a marriage to the Taiyin Goddess, with the ceremony expected in a thousand years, and described two rumored accounts of her origins.
• Di Tian noted that Di Jun’s Heavenly Marriage had been brought forward from the expected Six Sages Era and questioned the goddess’s identity and the lack of Nuwa and the Red Embroidered Ball as witnesses.

Di Tian realized Di Jun’s wedding could secure the merit of Heavenly Marriage, so he planned a formal wedding with Wang Shu and the others on the same day. He set the Witch Race’s attack on the Heavenly Court in motion and ordered the new Ziwei Imperial Palace completed before his wedding, then began explaining his reasons to Wang Shu.

The Witch Race’s leaders disrupted Di Jun’s wedding preparations with insulting gifts, prompting Bai Ze to warn Di Jun and Taiyi. Di Jun chose to investigate and placate them if possible, while Taiyi went to confront Di Jiang; Di Jun remained focused on stealing the Extraterritorial Starry Sky’s providence, fearing Di Tian might already know their plan.

• Zhu Rong and Gong Gong insulted Di Jun as they presented Bai Ze with a piece of gold and a stripped Savage Bull bone as wedding gifts.
• Di Jiang gave Bai Ze a blood-red stone, claiming it held the space essence of a slain demonic bull, but Bai Ze’s divine eye revealed it was merely a broken rock used to smash a bull’s head.
• Bai Ze hurried to the Demon Emperor Palace and warned Di Jun and Taiyi that the Witch Race had come to disrupt the wedding.
• Di Jun rejected Taiyi’s suggestion to immediately expel the Witches and instead told him to learn Di Jiang’s intentions, placating them if necessary and resorting to force only if there was no alternative.
• Taiyi took the Extinction Divine Spear and left with Bai Ze to approach Di Jiang, while Di Jun hoped Di Tian did not know the truth about the Heavenly Marriage ceremony.

Di Jiang’s forces began carrying out Di Tian’s orders to target the Heavenly Court’s leaders and weaken its high-level fighters before Hong Jun could intervene.

• Zhu Rong and Gong Gong wrecked the wedding preparations and challenged Taiyi, whose surprise at their Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Middle Stage cultivation led him to warn Di Jun and charge into battle.

• Qiang Liang and Ju Mang went to support Zhu Rong and Gong Gong against Taiyi, Di Jiang and Zhu Jiu Yin searched for Di Jun, and Hou Tu led the other Ancestral Witches after Kun Peng.

• Taiyi burned the remaining origin of the Destruction Demon God and poured its power into the Extinction Divine Spear, prompting Zhu Rong and Gong Gong to prepare a combined attack.

• Zhu Rong and Gong Gong fused their powers into a world-destroying torrent that overwhelmed Taiyi, exhausting his strength and returning his Self Corpse consciousness to his True Spirit.

After the Witch Race seized most of the Heavenly Court’s former territory, Di Jiang established a tributary system and the Star Treasure Pavilion expanded its intelligence network across the Primordial World. The Pavilion finally discovered the Falling Treasure Copper Coin, and Ran Deng rushed to report the news to Di Tian.

• Di Tian gave Di Jiang healing pills and advised the Witch Race to seize the Heavenly Court’s territories and gather resources for the coming Witch and Demon Calamity.
• Di Tian told Hou Tu that Buzhou Mountain’s collapse could not be prevented and urged her to protect the living beings in Witch Clan Territory afterward.
• Over fifty thousand years, Di Jiang’s forces took roughly seventy percent of the former Heavenly Court’s lands and delegated remote territories to other races in exchange for tribute.
• Di Jiang had more than a thousand races killed for concealing their gains, enforcing the Witch Race’s rules across its new territories.
• The Star Treasure Pavilion spread its intelligence network throughout the Primordial World and learned that the Falling Treasure Copper Coin had appeared.
• Ran Deng hurried to Di Tian’s palace to report the discovery.

Di Tian confirmed that the intelligence about the Falling Treasure Copper Coin was genuine and traveled to a Star Treasure Pavilion branch to meet the creature who offered it. The creature wanted to become his disciple, and Di Tian was left face to face with the cloaked informant.

• Ran Deng reported that a strange creature who could hear the Nine Heavens and Nine Underworlds had information about the Falling Treasure Copper Coin.
• Di Tian verified the image of the coin and learned that the creature's condition for revealing its location was to become his disciple.
• Di Tian ordered Wenqu Star God to prepare a currency reform plan for the new Star Radiance Treasure Coin.
• Di Tian traveled through the Eastern Star Gate to the Star Treasure Pavilion branch, where An Yao introduced the cloaked creature who had brought the intelligence.

Di Tian accepted the Six-Eared Macaque as his disciple after learning of his talent and ambition, then discovered that a restriction in the macaque’s bloodline had prevented him from advancing beyond Golden Immortal Perfection. The chapter left Di Tian considering how his fortune could break the restriction and wondering about the origins of the other Four Mixed Monkeys.

• The Six-Eared Macaque revealed himself to Di Tian and explained that he sought discipleship, though he was willing to trade information about the Falling Treasure Copper Coin for a reward instead.
• Di Tian judged the Six-Eared Macaque talented enough to become his disciple and considered whether the Four Mixed Monkeys could merge into a Chaos Demon Ape.
• The Six-Eared Macaque told Di Tian that he had been stuck at Golden Immortal Perfection since birth despite more than thirty thousand years of cultivation.
• Di Tian used Great Dao Divine Runes to discover that a restriction in the Six-Eared Macaque’s bloodline compressed his cultivation whenever he tried to break through.
• Di Tian concluded that the restriction could be broken by using a powerful master’s fortune, then reflected on the uncertain histories of Wu Zhiqi and Yuan Hong.

Di Tian explained that the Six-Eared Macaque could remove his bloodline restriction by becoming his disciple, but doing so would trade accumulated power for faster cultivation. The Six-Eared Macaque chose to keep accumulating strength for now, then gave Di Tian a jade locator to find the Falling Treasure Copper Coin.

• Di Tian told the Six-Eared Macaque that removing his bloodline restriction could quickly advance his realm but would make later breakthroughs harder by spending his accumulated potential.
• The Six-Eared Macaque chose to endure the restriction until his strength stopped growing significantly, aiming to fight opponents above his realm.
• An Yao reported that the Witch Race was driving the Demon Race into retreat and that the Star Treasure Pavilion had faced no recent direct attacks.
• The Six-Eared Macaque presented Di Tian with a Child Jade that could locate the Parent Jade left where he found the Falling Treasure Copper Coin.
• Di Tian returned the Child Jade and followed the Six-Eared Macaque out of the Star Treasure Pavilion branch to search for the Falling Treasure Copper Coin.

Di Tian and the Six-Eared Macaque found the Falling Treasure Copper Coin in a hidden karst cave, where Di Tian captured it by freezing Time and Space. He gifted the Six-Eared Macaque a Mind-Calming Circlet and set him the challenge of reaching the Ziwei Emperor Star to become his disciple and ascend to the Grand Yi Golden Immortal realm.

• The Six-Eared Macaque led Di Tian to the East Sea island and told him how he had discovered the hidden karst cave and the Falling Treasure Copper Coin.
• The Falling Treasure Copper Coin teased the Six-Eared Macaque as he chased it through the cave, and Di Tian froze Time and Space to catch it.
• Di Tian criticized the Six-Eared Macaque's temper and gave him the Mind-Calming Circlet, challenging him to reach the Ziwei Emperor Star.
• The Six-Eared Macaque vowed to master his emotions and travel through the heavenly void, while Di Tian returned to the Ziwei Emperor Star through the Demon Realm.
• The Six-Eared Macaque left the cave and began his journey toward the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, training his body and mana as he traveled.

Di Tian learned that Star Radiance Treasure Coins had replaced the pills as the Primordial World’s leading currency and prepared to turn the Falling Treasure Copper Coin into an Innate Treasure. When Hong Jun announced the third sermon, Di Tian planned to attend and went to inspect Luo Hou’s progress possessing Bai Hu.

• Di Tian visited Greedy Wolf and Army Breaker at the Extreme West Earth Abyss and learned that Luo Hou would possess Bai Hu within seven thousand years.
• Di Tian returned to All Heavens Hall and learned that Wang Shu had asked him to visit her bedchamber while Yuan Feng and Nuwa waited to depart for the Purple Cloud Palace.

• Di Tian gave the twins the childhood names Jun Lin and Shu Yue, assigning his son a future of leadership and his daughter a carefree life.
• Di Tian ordered the Seven Luminaries Star Gods to guard Wang Shu day and night and execute suspicious people without waiting for his permission.

Innate Sacred and Supremes of Ten Thousand Races rushed to Purple Cloud Palace after Hong Jun warned that missing his third sermon would trap them below Hunyuan. As they waited outside, Di Tian discussed the Demon Race’s hidden plans and Nuwa’s intelligence network, while Hong Jun held the palace gates closed to avoid giving Di Tian another chance to undermine him.

• After Hong Jun warned that missing the third sermon would block their progress, Innate Sacred and Supremes of Ten Thousand Races hurried to Purple Cloud Palace to hear it.
• Hong Jun saw that nearly everyone had arrived but kept the palace gates closed, fearing Di Tian would damage his reputation and disrupt his plan.
• Yuan Feng told Di Tian that Star Treasure Pavilion and Falling Star Bureau agents had lost track of Di Jun and the Demon Race’s upper ranks.
• Nuwa explained that the Hidden Star Hall had little intelligence on Di Jun’s secret plans, though one Demon Race informant knew its leaders were recovering in hiding.
• Di Tian praised Nuwa’s work and said Di Jun and the others would attend the sermon, though their injuries might still limit them.

Di Jun, Taiyi, and Kun Peng arrived at Purple Cloud Palace restored to their peak and empowered by Hong Jun with new strength and Chaos Demon God origins. They resolved to lie low around Di Tian, while Kun Peng allied with the Di Jun Brothers to survive.

• Di Jun, Taiyi, and Kun Peng appeared at Purple Cloud Palace with cultivation near Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection and Low-Grade Chaos Demon God foundations.
• Di Tian sensed the many Great Dao Laws in their origin auras and concluded that Hong Jun had spent nearly all his remaining Chaos Demon God resources to strengthen them.
• Di Tian considered who might replace Di Jun and Kun Peng in their Heavenly Dao Saint Positions and identified Zhen Yuanzi and Nether River as possible candidates.
• Taishang and Yuanshi arrived, avoided Di Tian, and ignored Di Jun and the others' greetings.
• Di Jun told Taiyi to stay calm and avoid provoking Di Tian, following Hong Jun's instructions to keep a low profile.
• Kun Peng learned part of the Di Jun Brothers' secret plans and formed an Offensive and Defensive Alliance with them.

As Hong Jun’s third lecture began, Di Tian confronted him over the two vacant Heavenly Dao Saint Positions and warned him not to manipulate their selection. Hong Jun set aside his failed plans involving Tong Tian and began teaching the paths and methods for proving the Dao of Hunyuan.

• Di Jun, Taishang, and Yuanshi endured the mocking attention of Di Tian’s Star Court guards while waiting outside the Purple Cloud Palace.
• Haotian Child opened the palace and invited the assembled Innate Sacred and Supremes inside, and Di Tian entered with Yuan Feng, Nuwa, and his companions.
• Di Tian greeted Hong Jun, challenged him over the two vacant Heavenly Dao Saint Positions, and warned him against secretly rigging the selection.
• The assembly noticed Tong Tian’s empty seat, while Hong Jun reflected on how the failed attempt to kill Tong Tian had ruined his plans.
• Hong Jun began the third lecture, explaining the two paths and three methods for proving the Dao of Hunyuan.

Hong Jun explained the three methods of proving the Dao, steering the assembled Innate Sacred and Supremes toward the Path of Quasi-Saint while concealing the other paths’ details. He named the physical-body and Hunyuan combination as the strongest but most difficult, prompting Di Tian to recognize Hong Jun’s scheme to target the Witch Race and Star Court.

• Hong Jun finished explaining the two paths and three methods, then asked the audience for questions.
• Nether River pressed Hong Jun to compare the strength of the methods, and Hong Jun said the physical-body path combined with the Hunyuan Path was strongest but exceptionally difficult.
• Di Tian realized Hong Jun was directing the audience’s greed toward the Twelve Ancestral Witches and their Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and White Jade Divine Marrow.
• Hong Jun described the Path of Laws combined with the Path of Merit as the weakest method and said immense contributions were needed to gain enough Merit to prove the Dao.
