Chapter Summary: Primordial Origin

Key Plot Points & Events

• Zhang Jian stations his Three Corpses incarnations (Netherworld Saint, Sheji Saint, Earth Sovereign Ancestral God) across the heavens to guard his domain while he departs.
• His disciples return to the Immortal Court to cultivate in seclusion, refining killing intent and digesting gains from the great calamity.
• Zhang Jian travels at extreme speed through the Chaos Origin Ocean toward the Primordial Land, guided by his Primordial Authority.
• He passes through the Chaos Divine Mountains and primordial fissures, entering the Primordial Land itself.
• He encounters—and secretly observes—the Supreme Devil Ancestor, who had been watching him, but chooses not to kill him.
• Instead, Zhang Jian manipulates a primordial torrent to sweep the Supreme Devil Ancestor into a Chaos Origin Spirit Lake where the Three Pure Celestial Venerables (Supreme Grand Dao Ancestor, Primordial Celestial Venerable, Lingbao Celestial Venerable) are cultivating, provoking a battle between them.
• Zhang Jian then enters the Primordial Origin Great Dao Space—the birthplace of Primordial Authority—and begins cultivating, bathing in vast oceans of Primordial Origin spiritual fluid. His treasures (Creation Azure Lotus, Earth Sovereign Cauldron, Earth Sovereign Divine Sword) also absorb the fluid, striving toward supreme treasure status.

Character Developments

• Zhang Jian: His power has grown to a level where even the Primordial Land's destructive laws cannot harm him. His Primordial Authority makes him comparable to a second Primordial King. He demonstrates strategic, restrained governance—choosing balance over annihilation.
