• Ling Xiao ordered the Primordial World’s survivors to rebuild, then brought the captive to Ling Xiao Palace for questioning.

• Luo Chuan said Wan Qianqiu, titled the Qianqiu Realm Lord, had reached the Great Dao of Infinity Realm, leaving Ling Xiao gravely concerned about the power of the Origin True Realm.

Ling Xiao questioned Luo Chuan about Wan Qianqiu’s power, the True Realm’s restrictions, and the danger the Primordial World’s Great Dao posed to him. He then asked whether Luo Chuan knew what had happened to Di Jun and Tai Yi, whose Golden Crow forms seemed to trigger a memory.

• Luo Chuan told Ling Xiao that treaties and the balance among the twelve Realm Lords likely prevented Wan Qianqiu from sending his true body into the Primordial World.
• Luo Chuan judged Wan Qianqiu to be among the lower-ranked Realm Lords and said he and countless others were merely subordinates under Wan Qianqiu.

• Ling Xiao worried that the Great Dao could overwhelm him and wondered whether Di Jun and Tai Yi had survived their journey to the True Realm.
• Luo Chuan said he had not heard of Di Jun and Tai Yi, but reacted when Ling Xiao explained that they were Golden Crows.

After hearing about the many perfect worlds beneath the True Realm, Ling Xiao planned to use Luo Chuan’s knowledge and the Origin-Devouring Beast to find and consume them, then turned to the Jade Plate of Creation for insight into world advancement.

• Luo Chuan told Ling Xiao that a Golden Crow had fled a powerful expert’s attempt to capture it as a pet, leading Ling Xiao to suspect it was Tai Yi.

• Ling Xiao studied the Jade Plate of Creation to understand how worlds advanced, then withdrew from it after gaining an insight.

Ling Xiao learned more about the Primordial World’s rank and chose to face Wan Qianqiu’s next killing intent rather than release the Origin-Devouring Beast. He planted the Primordial Myriad Dao Tree on Penglai Immortal Island and invited all living beings to cultivate near it.

• Ling Xiao learned that the Primordial World was a Perfect Heavens and Earths, far below the Origin True Realm.
• After the system offered him a choice, Ling Xiao refused to release the Origin-Devouring Beast and received a Primordial Myriad Dao Tree.
• Ling Xiao planted the tree at the center of Penglai Immortal Island, where its Great Dao laws and aura astonished powerhouses across the world.
• Zhulong, Ao Zhan, and Luo Chuan witnessed the tree’s emergence, while the Origin-Devouring Beast tried to eat it and Ling Xiao stopped it.
• Ling Xiao announced that all living beings could cultivate near the tree, prompting powerhouses throughout the world to set out for Penglai Immortal Island.

Beings from across the Primordial World raced to Penglai Immortal Island to approach the Primordial Myriad Dao Tree, where Ling Xiao promised a reward to whoever came closest. Mosquito Daoist pushed through the tree’s pressure, but as he entered the hundred-zhang range, he discovered someone had nearly caught up with him.

• Countless beings, including Primordial Sages, flew toward the Primordial Myriad Dao Tree, while the tree’s pressure slowed them as they approached.

• Ling Xiao announced that he would reward whoever came closest to the Primordial Myriad Dao Tree, prompting Mosquito Daoist to stride forward confidently.
• Mosquito Daoist endured increasingly intense pressure at the thousand-, three-hundred-, and hundred-zhang marks, nearly falling but continuing toward the tree.
• Mosquito Daoist entered the hundred-zhang range and heard cheers, then saw an unidentified figure only a few zhang behind him.

• Mosquito Daoist reached the ten-zhang mark but recoiled from the pressure when he tried to advance.
• Ziwei caught up to Mosquito Daoist and calmly stepped within ten zhang of the Primordial Myriad Dao Tree, leaving Mosquito Daoist stunned.

Ziwei’s enlightenment let him advance far closer to the Primordial Myriad Dao Tree than Mosquito Daoist, despite his lower cultivation. After reaching the five-zhang mark, Ziwei absorbed the radiance of countless stars and broke through to Primordial Taiji.

• Ziwei advanced to eight and then seven zhang, while Mosquito Daoist was flung ten thousand zhang away when he tried to follow.
• Ziwei continued forward and sat at the five-zhang mark as sacred radiance surrounded him.
• Ziwei drew down the stars’ radiance, released vast purple qi, and broke through to Primordial Taiji.

Ziwei and Six-Eared Macaque broke through to Primordial Taiji as Ling Xiao expanded the Primordial World’s Sage positions. With the new seats nearing capacity, Ling Xiao turned to increasing the world’s origin essence.

• Ziwei reached Primordial Taiji beneath the Primordial Myriad Dao Tree, and Ling Xiao rewarded him with the Mother Sword of All Things.
• A new Daluo Golden Immortal of the Origin filled the forty-ninth Hunyuan seat, prompting Ling Xiao to expand the world’s capacity to one hundred Daluo Golden Immortals, one hundred Heavenly Dao Sages, and seven Primordial Taiji.
• Ling Xiao announced the expanded positions, reigniting hope and cultivation across the Primordial World.
• After tens of thousands of years, Six-Eared Macaque broke through to Primordial Taiji, while other Primordial Sages advanced into the eighth and ninth heavens.
• Ling Xiao sensed that the Sage positions were nearly full again and resolved to increase the Primordial World’s origin essence.

Ling Xiao chose to strengthen the Primordial World by invading another world, and Luo Chuan pointed him toward the powerful Black Tortoise World. After Ling Xiao announced the invasion and gave his people three thousand years to prepare, the deadline approached as the Six-Eared Macaque broke through to Primordial Taiji.

• Ling Xiao rejected challenging the Great Dao and chose to invade another world to strengthen the Primordial World.
• Ling Xiao summoned Luo Chuan and ordered him to locate worlds under Wan Qianqiu's command.
• Luo Chuan named the Black Tortoise World as a target, describing its ruler as a seventh-level Primordial Taiji expert and its forces as more than a hundred Primordial Saints.
• Ling Xiao selected the Black Tortoise World and announced that the Primordial World would attack in three thousand years.
• As the deadline approached, the Six-Eared Macaque broke through into the Primordial Taiji realm.

Ling Xiao led the Primordial World’s forces through a passage into the Black Tortoise World, where Martial Ancestor Ba Tianxing and his powerful followers confronted them. After both sides demanded the other’s submission, Ling Xiao received a choice between conquering the world or surrendering.

• The Six-Eared Macaque broke through to Primordial Taiji as Ling Xiao rallied the Primordial World’s powers for war.

• Ling Xiao led the experts through the passage, where Ba Tianxing and five powerful Black Tortoise World experts blocked their way.
• Ba Tianxing mocked the invaders and demanded their surrender, while Ling Xiao demanded that the Black Tortoise World submit to him.
• A choice appeared before Ling Xiao, offering a secret art for either refusing to surrender and conquering the Black Tortoise World or agreeing to submit.

Ling Xiao faced Ba Tianxing while secretly cultivating a newly chosen secret art, then the battle erupted and the Primordial World’s forces took shelter in the Boat of the Other Shore. The Boat’s cannon badly wounded Overlord, and its second strike began charging as the fight continued.

• Ling Xiao chose the first system reward and cultivated it while warning Ba Tianxing against his plan to annex the world.
• Ba Tianxing recognized Luo Chuan, learned he no longer served the Origin True Realm, and threatened Ling Xiao by invoking Wan Qianqiu.
• Ling Xiao claimed he had defeated Wan Qianqiu, provoking Ba Tianxing to attack with a devastating punch.
• Ling Xiao sent the Primordial World experts into the Boat of the Other Shore, where Ziwei rallied them to pool their mana.
• Ziwei fired the Boat’s cannon at Overlord, blasting away one arm and half his body, and the cannon began charging a second shot.
