Chapter Summaries

After the Ancestor Witches defeated Di Jun and Tai Yi, Li Hao hurried them home because he had left the monkey behind. He explained that he spared their enemies because the Witch Tribe was not yet ready to defy Hongjun, but reassured the others that the Three Pure Ones would not become sages for a long time.

• Di Jun carried the injured Tai Yi and the Chaos Bell away, vowing that the Witch Tribe would pay for humiliating them.
• Nuwa departed after watching the battle, still savoring what she had witnessed.
• Zhu Rong caught up with the Ancestor Witches and discovered that none of them knew why they were hurrying until Li Hao said he had left the monkey at home.
• Dijiang questioned Li Hao about sparing the Three Pure Ones and Di Jun and Tai Yi, and Li Hao said the Witch Tribe was not yet strong enough to challenge Hongjun.
• Li Hao reassured the Ancestor Witches that the Three Pure Ones could not become sages for tens of thousands of years or longer, and they continued toward their territory.

Li Hao returned to the Ancestral Land and reunited with the Six-Eared Macaque, who had grown haggard during his absence. He then gave Zhu Rong the chance to honor their wager and brought the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to find Dijiang.

• Li Hao reflected that he had helped the Three Pure Ones incur karmic ties so he could later claim Hongjun's treasures from the Treasure Distribution Rock.
• Li Hao returned to the room and found that Liu'er was absent, while Zhu Rong joked that the monkey would never wait patiently for him.
• The haggard Six-Eared Macaque saw Li Hao, rushed into his arms, and fell asleep as he held it.
• Li Hao reminded Zhu Rong of their wager, and Zhu Rong agreed to shave his head rather than involve Houtu.
• Li Hao tossed the Gourd Vine aside, took the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and went to find Dijiang.

Li Hao discussed the Witch Tribe’s next moves with Dijiang and urged him to seize a demon bird’s woman to prevent a dangerous bloodline from continuing. When Dijiang agreed, Li Hao redirected the plan so Dijiang would marry her instead.

• Li Hao visited Dijiang’s dwelling, where the Ancestor Witches had gathered to discuss what the tribe should do after the Dao exposition.
• Li Hao said the Witch Tribe should continue its usual activities, then proposed cutting off a demon bird bloodline by taking his woman.
• Dijiang agreed to follow Li Hao’s plan and told him to treat the woman well after bringing her back.
• Li Hao clarified that he meant for Dijiang to take the woman as his wife, arguing that Dijiang was the eldest and remained unmarried.

Li Hao persuaded Dijiang and the other Ancestor Witches to seek Dao companions and test whether the Witch Tribe could reproduce without the Blood Pool. He urged Dijiang to take both Xihe and Changxi, leaving Dijiang to hesitate over Li Hao’s plan.

• Li Hao suggested that Dijiang test whether the Witch Tribe could reproduce without the Blood Pool, and Dijiang agreed to try.
• Li Hao argued that Dijiang needed a Dao companion, and the Ancestor Witches supported him in taking a wife.
• Dijiang asked Li Hao which fairy he had in mind, and Li Hao proposed Xihe and Changxi of the Sun and Lunar Stars.
• Li Hao insisted that Dijiang take both sisters because they had married Di Jun and borne offspring, and Dijiang hesitated as Li Hao continued persuading him.

Li Hao urged the Ancestor Witches to resume their plans after allowing them a hundred years to rest, while Jieyin and Zhunti returned to the West and discovered their stronghold had been devastated. Hong Yun also returned to Zhen Yuanzi in a dazed state, leaving his friend alarmed.

• Dijiang and the Ancestor Witches agreed that having children could help their tribe grow.
• Li Hao soothed the Six-Eared Macaque, then told the Ancestor Witches to set out; Dijiang negotiated a hundred-year rest.
• Jieyin and Zhunti returned to the West and found their land withered, their Bodhi Tree damaged, and their inhabitants and treasures gone.
• Zhunti demanded to know who had robbed them, and Jieyin said they should find Jia Ye and the others for answers.
• Hong Yun returned to the Longevity Mountain Five Villages Temple in a dazed state, and Zhen Yuanzi rushed to ask what had happened.

Hong Yun arrived at Wuzhuang Temple with Zhen Yuanzi and planned to stay there for a while. Meanwhile, Jieyin and Zhunti investigated the Bodhi Tree’s decline and the Witch Tribe’s digging at Mount Sumeru, while Li Hao led the Ancestor Witches to the Lunar Star, where they encountered a surge of freezing Taiyin Qi.

• Hong Yun came to his senses at Wuzhuang Temple, and Zhen Yuanzi welcomed him and promised he could stay as long as he liked.
• Jieyin and Zhunti learned from Jia Ye and the others that the Bodhi Tree had nearly exhausted its reserves and that tall outsiders had dug at Mount Sumeru.
• Jieyin and Zhunti brought Jia Ye and the others to the digging site and spent a hundred years searching without finding anything.
• Li Hao gathered the Ancestor Witches and Six-Eared Macaque and led them toward the Lunar Star after the hundred-year wait.
• Li Hao stepped onto the Lunar Star, and the Ancestor Witches followed as a powerful wave of Taiyin Qi chilled them.

Li Hao and the Ancestor Witches endured the Taiyin Qi with Xuanming’s protection, then spotted a rabbit and sent the Little Monkey to catch it. After the Little Monkey accidentally smashed its head, Li Hao and his siblings prepared and roasted it, leaving the Little Monkey eager to eat.

• Xuanming used her Law of Ice to shield the Ancestor Witches while absorbing the Taiyin Qi.
• Li Hao spotted a white rabbit pounding medicine and asked the Little Monkey to catch it.
• The Little Monkey struck the rabbit with its Suixin Iron Rod, badly damaging its head, then returned expecting praise.
• Li Hao praised the Little Monkey and had the Ancestor Witches help clean and roast the rabbit.
• The rabbit was ready almost instantly, and the Little Monkey leapt toward it before Li Hao stopped it.

Li Hao and the others ate a snow-white rabbit, which turned out to belong to Changxi, a resident of the Lunar Star. After she devoured the rabbit meat and learned Li Hao promised more food, he invited her to come with the Witch Tribe.

• Li Hao borrowed a dagger from Changxi and cut up the rabbit she had been searching for.
• Changxi cried when Li Hao revealed that the rabbit had been divided into fourteen piles, then tasted the meat and eagerly ate Li Hao's share.
• After the rabbit meat ran out, Changxi introduced herself and learned that Li Hao and his companions were from the Witch Tribe.
• Li Hao promised to find a bigger catch and invited Changxi to travel with them so she could eat more prey.

Li Hao persuaded Changxi to travel with the Witch Tribe by promising that becoming his boyfriend and girlfriend would let her enjoy their food. Xihe interrupted them, challenged Li Hao, and argued that Di Jun and Tai Yi were better choices for Dao companions, but Changxi rejected them.

• Li Hao told Changxi that only a pair could regularly enjoy the Ancestor Witches’ special delicacies, then explained that boyfriend and girlfriend meant a relationship before becoming Dao companions.
• Changxi agreed to go with Li Hao and form a pair, blushing as she accepted the boyfriend-and-girlfriend relationship.
• Xihe arrived, accused Li Hao of seducing Changxi, and pulled her younger sister close.
• Changxi defended the Witch Tribe and said they were better than Di Jun and Tai Yi.
• Xihe praised Di Jun and Tai Yi as excellent Dao companion prospects, but Changxi dismissed them as birdmen.

Li Hao and the Ancestor Witches visited the Lunar Star to arrange a marriage between Dijiang and Xihe, but Xihe named a condition tied to her being driven from the Solar Star. The chapter ended with Xihe preparing to reveal what she wanted them to do.

• Li Hao suspected Di Jun and Tai Yi had forced Xihe off the Solar Star to clear the way for their Heavenly Marriage.
• Xihe praised Di Jun and Tai Yi, prompting Li Hao and the Ancestor Witches to laugh at them.
• Li Hao told Xihe that Dijiang had come to propose marriage, but Xihe judged him unsuitable and hesitated to refuse outright.
• Xihe said she would agree to the proposal if the Ancestor Witches fulfilled one condition.
• When Xihe asked whether they knew why she lived on the Lunar Star, Li Hao bluntly replied that she had been squeezed out of the Solar Star.

Li Hao agreed to help Xihe drive Di Jun and Tai Yi from the Solar Star and led the Ancestor Witches there. The group left the Lunar Star, with Xuanming reluctantly postponing her cultivation there, and began a journey expected to take more than two hundred years.

• Li Hao interrupted Xihe and declared that driving Di Jun and Tai Yi from the Solar Star would be easy.
• Zhu Rong teased Li Hao about finding a girlfriend, so Li Hao clung to Houtu and said he only needed her; Houtu happily agreed and decided to ignore Zhu Rong for one hundred thousand years.
• Xuanming reluctantly left the Lunar Star after Li Hao assured her they would return, and he led the Ancestor Witches and Xihe toward the Solar Star.
• The group traveled for more than two hundred years, slowed by Xihe's weak endurance and slow flight.

The Witches reached the Solar Star, where Zhu Rong eagerly led them toward the Fusang Wood to cultivate and search for Di Jun and Tai Yi. After Xihe offered to guide them, Li Hao sensed that someone else had arrived first.

• The Witches endured the Solar Star’s intense heat, and Zhu Rong used his fire laws to shield the group as they entered.
• Li Hao urged Zhu Rong to focus on reclaiming their father’s legacy rather than taking the Solar Star by force.
• The Witches headed for the central region, expecting Di Jun and Tai Yi to appear because the Fusang Wood stood there.
• Li Hao and the Witches saw the enormous Fusang Wood, and Zhu Rong wanted to meditate beneath it until Li Hao stopped him.
• When the Witches admitted they did not know where Di Jun and Tai Yi lived, Xihe offered to lead them to the pair.
• Li Hao listened, then warned the Witches that someone had arrived before them.

Li Hao and the ancestor witches arrived on the Fusang Wood platform while Di Jun and Tai Yi were meeting an old man who wanted them to join the Immortal Court. The old man attacked Xi Zi after being ignored, but his blast had no apparent effect, leaving Xi Zi and Gong Gong confused.

• An old man invited Di Jun and Tai Yi to join the Immortal Court, but they refused because they wanted to cultivate and seek the Dao.
• Li Hao revealed himself after hearing the old man threaten Di Jun and Tai Yi, and the ancestor witches followed him onto the Fusang Wood platform with Xuanming carrying Xihe.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi were startled by the witches' arrival and recalled how they had used heavenly treasures to heal their previous injuries.
• The old man demanded to know who the witches were, but they ignored him while Di Jun and Tai Yi moved away from him.
• The old man unleashed an energy blast that struck Xi Zi on the head, but Xi Zi felt only a breeze and wondered whether Gong Gong had hit him.

Gong Gong pointed out East King Duke as the one who had struck him, and Xi Zi sent the old man flying into the Fusang Wood. After East King Duke declared himself the Head of Male Immortals appointed by the Dao Ancestor, Li Hao mocked him and ordered the Ancestor Witches to beat him, leaving his plans to recruit allies and court West Queen Mother in ruins.

• Gong Gong identified East King Duke as the attacker, and Xi Zi rammed him into the Fusang Wood.

• Li Hao teased East King Duke about his title and asked who had appointed him.
• East King Duke summoned his Dragon Head Crutch, and Li Hao sent the Ancestor Witches to attack him.
• Zhu Rong taunted the Ancestor Witches as they beat East King Duke, who lamented that his injuries had ruined his plans to recruit powerful figures and propose to West Queen Mother.

Li Hao demanded that Di Jun and Tai Yi leave the Solar Star so Xihe could reclaim her family home, threatening to drive them out by force. Xihe worried that the confrontation went too far, but Li Hao remained confident that neither bird could challenge him or appeal to Hongjun.

• Di Jun and Tai Yi silently endured the Witch Tribe’s insults while privately hoping the tribe would provoke Hongjun by killing East King Duke.
• Li Hao decided to deal with Di Jun and Tai Yi directly and declared that Xihe would become his First Brother’s dao companion.
• Li Hao told Di Jun and Tai Yi to leave the Solar Star and return Xihe’s maiden home to her.
• Di Jun claimed that the Solar Star was his and Tai Yi’s homeland and offered to give Xihe a plot of land.
• Li Hao rejected the offer and gave Di Jun and Tai Yi the choice to leave or be thrown out.
• Xihe tugged Li Hao’s sleeve and worried that he was going too far, but Li Hao dismissed her concern and remained unafraid of the pair.

Li Hao stopped the Ancestor Witches from beating East King Duke and let him leave, while Di Jun and Tai Yi chose to leave the Solar Star as well. After spotting East King Duke on the way, the brothers called out to ask whether they could still join the Immortal Court.

• Li Hao approached the battered East King Duke and stopped the Ancestor Witches' assault.
• East King Duke avoided repeating his earlier boast, and Li Hao let him go while planning to take the Dragon Head Crutch later.

• Di Jun and Tai Yi chose to leave the Solar Star, and Li Hao agreed to let them go.
• Di Jun and Tai Yi caught sight of East King Duke and called out to ask if they could still join the Immortal Court.

Di Jun and Tai Yi joined East King Duke’s Immortal Court while secretly planning to destroy it from within and build their own faction. Li Hao searched the Solar Star for their treasury until Xihe offered to lead him to it, and the Ancestor Witches followed her deeper inside.

• East King Duke accepted Di Jun and Tai Yi into the Immortal Court, unaware that they intended to undermine it and take it over.
• Li Hao searched around the Fusang Wood for Di Jun and Tai Yi’s hidden treasury but found nothing.
• Xihe approached Li Hao, hoping to ease his worries and potentially reopen the marriage discussion.
• Li Hao mentioned that he was searching for the two birdmen’s treasury, and Xihe offered to show him where it was.
• Li Hao grabbed Xihe and hurried in the direction she pointed, with the Ancestor Witches following into the dilapidated inner Solar Star.

Li Hao and the Ancestor Witches discovered a trove of treasures on the Solar Star, and Li Hao declared them Xihe’s dowry while arranging her marriage to Dijiang. Xihe reluctantly agreed to settle the match, and the witches packed up the treasures as Di Jun, Tai Yi, and East King Duke grew increasingly frustrated elsewhere.

• Xihe led Li Hao and the Ancestor Witches to a hidden trove of spiritual herbs, fire-attribute materials, and Fusang Wood crystals.
• Li Hao declared the treasures Xihe’s dowry and told the Ancestor Witches to collect them carefully.
• Xihe became alarmed when Li Hao treated her marriage to Dijiang as settled, while Dijiang suggested they choose an auspicious day and prepare first.
• Li Hao asked whether Xihe was unwilling to marry Dijiang, and she agreed to settle the match despite her reservations.
• The Ancestor Witches packed up the treasures, while Di Jun, Tai Yi, and East King Duke felt increasingly stifled after leaving the Solar Star.

Hongjun unleashed Purple Cloud Divine Thunder at the Witch Tribe on the Solar Star, targeting Li Hao, but Qiang Liang and Xi Zi stepped forward to face it. As their battered bodies showed their spirits were thriving, Li Hao stopped Dijiang from rescuing them, leaving the Witches astonished by what the thunder was doing to them.

• After Haotian reported the failed complaint, Hongjun deduced that a powerful variable was hidden among the Witch Tribe and sent divine thunder toward the Solar Star.
• Li Hao suspected the thundercloud was Hongjun's Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, while Xihe trembled in fear.
• Qiang Liang and Xi Zi stood before the other Ancestor Witches and were badly burned by the first wave of thunder.
• Dijiang prepared to use his spatial Divine Power to rescue them, but Li Hao stopped him and pointed out their excited expressions.
• The Ancestor Witches and Xihe realized that Qiang Liang and Xi Zi's spirits remained vigorous despite their ruined bodies.

Qiang Liang and Xi Zi grew stronger after enduring Hongjun’s divine thunder, while the Ancestor Witches wondered how to improve their cultivation. East King Duke then announced that he would establish the Immortal Court with Di Jun and Tai Yi to repay the Dao Ancestor.

• Qiang Liang and Xi Zi advanced to the peak of the sixth revolution after the divine thunder struck them, but the thunder ended before they reached the seventh revolution.
• The Ancestor Witches examined Qiang Liang and Xi Zi and found them unharmed and stronger, while Ru Shou resented that Geng Metal Qi had yielded him less progress.
• Li Hao wished for another wave of divine thunder, but Hongjun had already stopped paying attention to the matter.
• Zhu Rong arrived from cultivating on the Fusang Wood, saw Qiang Liang and Xi Zi’s strength, and abandoned his plan to show off.
• East King Duke announced that he would establish the Immortal Court with Di Jun and Tai Yi to share the Dao Ancestor’s burdens and repay his kindness.
