Cheng Xi agreed to support Ming Yue’s attempt to reach Truth Insight, while Xu Xing and the others entered seclusion to pursue Dao Extremity. After a hundred days of deadly trials and intervention by the Cang Ancestors, only Xu Xing and Hong remained in seclusion as Chi Jiuyu awaited the coming ascension.

• During the next thirty days, three more cultivators failed, leaving nine of the Human Race’s thirteen dead and two gravely injured; only Xu Xing and Hong remained in seclusion as Chi Jiuyu said the ascension would be completed in ten days.

Xu Xing attained Dao and became the Human Race’s first True Immortal, then severed the links between Heaven’s anchors and living beings’ true spirits while concealing that they remained.

• Xu Xing refused the Heaven Domain’s offer, met Gu in the Ancient Domain, and accepted the task of exterminating the Moon-Howling Demon Wolf race.

• Xu Xing reflected on the approaching second True Immortal and the threats posed by Gu, Tai, and Xuan as he sensed a storm gathering.

Seven Truth Insight cultivators entered seclusion to pursue Dao Attainment as Xu Xing guarded the Human Race and Heaven plotted to exploit an anchor implanted in all living beings.

• The Mystic Moon Fox Race betrayed the Human Race, and Xuan captured Cheng Xi; Xu Xing returned only Cheng Xi’s head, after which Unconfused advanced to Profound Penetration and took the name Huo.
• Over the next three thousand years, Confusion and Cheng Kong became exceptionally young Truth Insight cultivators, while new signs indicated that another Human Race cultivator would soon attain the Dao.

The Cang Ancestors launched a scheme to force Xu Xing out and expose the Human Race’s hidden Truth Insights, triggering a devastating battle across several domains. Xu Xing was trapped by the Four Ancestors and focused his burning attacks on Tai, while Gu secretly prepared to seize Tai’s Original Intent.

• Su Po reflected on the Human Race’s Dao Attainments, while Heaven realized that Sword Ancestor was the tribulation blocking his attempt to obtain the Fruit of Creation.
• Tai received Xuan’s invitation to discuss the Human Race’s coming Dao Attainment, crushed the message in anger, then decided to go to the Cang Domain anyway.
• Cheng Kong departed for the Glorious World Domain to support the Human Race, and Hong chose to delay entering seclusion until the coming turmoil passed.
• As signs suggested that two Human Race cultivators might attain Dao, the Four Cang Ancestors devised a plan targeting Xu Xing and attacked Tyrant Sovereign in the Glorious World Domain.
• Xu Xing left the Eastern Wasteland Region, fought Xuan in the Ancient Domain, and was eventually trapped when the Four Cang Ancestors joined forces against him.
• Tyrant Sovereign attacked the Tai and Heaven Domains, while Xu Xing burned his essence and relentlessly targeted Tai; Gu feigned injury and prepared to seize Tai’s Original Intent.

• Gu’s hidden contingency failed to trigger, giving the Sword Ancestor a chance to escape; Tai ordered Tian to pursue him while Xuan took Gu to confront the Tyrant Sovereign.

Xu Xing and the Human Race survived the Cang Race’s attack, and the Human Race expanded its strength and territory while both sides recovered. A century later, Unconfused ambushed Yang Yue during a Mystic Moon Fox raid and captured her soul.

• Heaven escaped with the wounded Tai after Cheng Kong’s sword strike, while Charm Ancestor and Bie Xuening helped Xu Xing return to the Eastern Wasteland Region.

• Yang Yue used a Jade Talisman to lead her team through the boundary, but Unconfused appeared beside the formation tower.
• Unconfused tore apart Yang Yue’s moonlight attack, trapped her group in his Dharma Domain, crushed Yang Yue’s body, and seized her escaping soul.

After a thousand years of war and failed breakthroughs, Hua attained Dao and became the Human Race’s fifth Dao Attainer, allowing the Human Race to surpass the Cang Race. The Human Dao Attainers renamed themselves True Immortals and gained the upper hand in renewed fighting, while Tai began probing Gu’s motives and reconsidered using the Taixuan Authority.

• Ming Yue sensed the deaths of the seven Dao Integration cultivators and worried that the surviving Yang Yue was suffering, then tried to convince herself she had chosen correctly by siding with the Cang Race.

• Pill Ancestor seized half of the Cang Domain and founded World-Saving Cave Heaven, but Tai was ambushed by Xu Xing and Bie Xuening and escaped with a severe Dao injury after Gu and Xuan intervened.
• Tai went to Xuan’s hall to recuperate, accused Gu and Tian of being untrustworthy, and considered using the Taixuan Authority to investigate Gu before deciding to hold back.

Gu and Heavenly Will maneuvered against the Human Race’s growing power as the Cang Race lost territory and its allies. After the Human Race’s ten True Immortals emerged, Heavenly Will’s identity was exposed, and he granted the Cang Race Heaven’s favor, binding its survival to the Great Profound Realm.

• Gu admitted to himself that he had considered worsening Tai’s injuries to seize the Original Intent, while Heavenly Will offered to help because their secrets were linked.
• Over five hundred years, the Human Race conquered the Cang Domain, and Unconfused defeated Ming Yue and imprisoned her soul alongside Yang Yue for torment.
• Confusion used Pill Ancestor’s jade-green needle on Ming Yue, causing her to scream as she made progress toward resolving her heart’s knot.
• Hong attained the Dao as Hong Sovereign and killed Shu Qing and Ling Shu; Artifact Sovereign, Remorse, Ning Ruo, and Yuan later attained the Dao, bringing the Human Race to ten True Immortals and forcing the Cang Race into the Xuan Domain.
• After Yuanjun exposed Heaven as Heavenly Will, Heaven reclaimed part of his authority and granted the Cang Race Heaven’s favor, binding its continued existence to the Great Profound Realm.

The Human Race’s thirteen True Immortals prepared to extract the Great Profound Realm’s Heavenly Will while the Cang Race braced for defeat. Their plan triggered the War of Chasing Cang, as the Heavenly Will was drawn out and the two races entered a catastrophic battle.

• Heaven told Tai, Xuan, and Gu that the Cang Race could not win, and Gu planned to merge with the Past to create a retreat if necessary.
• Xu Xing and Bie Xuening returned to their old bamboo dwelling, then learned that Heaven had bestowed Heaven’s Favor on the Cang Race.
• Over five thousand years, You, Min, and Confusion attained the Dao, completing the thirteen Human Race True Immortals; the two sides then prepared for a final battle.
• Xu Xing and Hong Sovereign oversaw the Heaven-Capturing Cauldrons, which gathered the phenomena of heaven and earth and the thoughts of living beings to extract Heavenly Will.
• When the thirteen cauldrons filled, their beams began pulling Heavenly Will from the Great Profound Realm, and the Four Ancestors of the Cang Race fought the thirteen Human Race True Immortals.
• The War of Chasing Cang began, and Yuanjun annihilated nearly one-tenth of the Cang Race as both sides were transported to the battlefield.

The Human Race True Immortals drew Heavenly Will out of the Great Profound Realm, weakening Heaven until Gu used the First Epoch’s annihilation aura to preserve him. Gu then tried to turn the Second Epoch’s destruction into a chance to seize the Taixuan Authority and kill Tai, but Tai escaped the trap and was gravely wounded; his warning to Xuan was cut off.

• The Human Race True Immortals fought the Four Ancestors of the Cang Race as the Heaven-Capturing Cauldrons drew Heavenly Will out of the Great Profound Realm.
• Hong Sovereign trapped Heaven, while Bie Xuening’s sword wounded Gu and forced him to scatter into seven-colored light.
• With Heavenly Will sealed away, Heaven began to fade, but Gu used the First Epoch’s annihilation aura to tear away part of Heavenly Will and preserve him.

• Tai escaped the destruction aura, but the Human Race True Immortals’ combined attack destroyed half his body and blasted through the Clear Underworld Sea.
• Tai warned Xuan to beware of Heaven, but the Taixuan Authority erased the part of his transmission concerning Gu.

Gu failed to seize Taixuan’s Original Intent but imprisoned her, while Xuan escaped with most of the Cang Race after the Human Race’s victory in the War of Chasing Cang. In the aftermath, the Six Great Immortal Sects were founded, and the chapter named the eras that followed Remote Antiquity and High Antiquity.

• Gu tried to take Taixuan’s Original Intent, but she dissolved into silver light before he captured her, so he used the Taixuan Authority to chain and imprison her.
• Gu joined with the past and began creating a new world, while Xuan fought off the immortals and escaped toward the Starry Sky with the remaining Cang Race after the Heaven-Capturing Cauldrons began to crack.
• Gu’s control of the past disrupted the Great Profound Realm, forcing the immortals to abandon their pursuit of Xuan and deal with the seven-colored radiance spreading across the Central Continent.
• Remorse pursued Xuan into the Starry Sky but was repelled, and the War of Chasing Cang ended with the Cang Race driven from the Central Continent and Tai imprisoned by Gu.

• The chapter named the era before the War of Chasing Cang Remote Antiquity and the era afterward, up to the Era of Great Transformation, High Antiquity.

After returning from the Starry Sky Frontline Battlefield, Xu Xing discovered that the Central Continent had descended into corruption and that his disciple Wen Ya had enabled her son Geng Heng’s atrocities. He killed Geng Heng, stripped Wen Ya of her cultivation, and launched a devastating purge across the Central Continent, leaving Confusion grievously wounded.

• Over tens of thousands of years, the Star Domain Guardians’ absence allowed the six Immortal Sects and demonic cultivators to exploit ordinary people while the Central Continent fell into chaos.
• After Xu Xing became strong enough to enter the Far Side of the Starry Sky, Xuan withdrew from the battlefield, allowing Xu Xing to return to the Sword Sect.
• Lin Ji warned Wen Ya that Xu Xing was returning, and Wen Ya told Geng Heng to behave, unaware that he was using an infant’s heart and blood to forge a sword.
• Xu Xing arrived and found Geng Heng’s atrocities in progress; he nearly killed Geng Heng, condemned Wen Ya, and left her cultivation weaker than that of a Qi Refiner.
• Xu Xing told Jing Hai that the Sword Sect as it stood was wrong, then swept through the Central Continent, killing demonic cultivators and attacking the major sects and all six Immortal Sects.
• Confusion tried to stop Xu Xing’s slaughter, but Xu Xing beat him so badly that he fled grievously wounded.
