• Yuan Yan ate a Primordial Vermilion Fruit and perfected his comprehension of the Law of Blood.
• Fuxi said he felt he had met Yuan Yan too late, as their related Yin-Yang origins naturally drew them together.

Yuan Yan shared Wisdom Fruits with Nuwa and Fuxi, then guided them in a discussion of the Dao that helped them understand their own paths. After Nuwa and Fuxi expounded on their insights, Yuan Yan entered enlightenment himself and began advancing his Yin-Yang Dao.

• Yuan Yan proposed a discussion of the Dao and manifested his Yin-Yang Great Firmament Dao Fruit to guide Nuwa and Fuxi into enlightenment.

• Nuwa and Fuxi expounded their Daos and insights into the three thousand laws, and Yuan Yan ate a Wisdom Fruit and entered enlightenment as he listened.

After benefiting from Nuwa and Fuxi’s discussion of the Dao, Yuan Yan left Mount Buzhou to travel the Primordial World and verify his Dao. He reached a Three Clans Battlefield and began refining its blood baleful resentment and lingering Great Dao power, but the remnants resisted his Yin-Yang Furnace.

• Yuan Yan, Nuwa, and Fuxi finished absorbing their gains from discussing the Dao, then parted ways as Yuan Yan set out to travel the Primordial World.
• Yuan Yan left Mount Buzhou and chose to visit Three Clans Battlefields to purify them, repair Earth Veins, and gain Merit and Fortune before heading toward the East Sea.
• Yuan Yan arrived at a battlefield where a sacred mountain had been devastated and blood baleful resentment and lingering Great Dao power still corrupted the land.
• Yuan Yan summoned the Yin-Yang Furnace and contained part of the Blood-Baleful Domain, refining its remains into Yin-Yang Source Power.
• The blood baleful resentment and lingering Great Dao power joined forces against the furnace, and Yuan Yan prepared to counter their resistance.

Yuan Yan refined the Blood-Baleful Domain, gaining cultivation, Yin-Yang Source Power, and treasures before turning to repair the shattered divine mountain and earth veins. After inspecting the devastation, he realized that restoring them fully would require sacrificing his own origin, which he could not do.

• Yuan Yan used the Yin-Yang Furnace and Yinyang Cauldron to suppress and slowly refine the Blood-Baleful Domain while studying the laws and Great Daos within it.
• After ten or twenty thousand years, Yuan Yan cleared nearly all the blood-baleful resentment and chaotic power, then dissolved the furnace into Yin-Yang qi that enriched the land.
• Yuan Yan gained deeper comprehension of the three thousand laws, advanced his Dao realm, collected vast Yin-Yang Source Power, and found three damaged Innate Spiritual Treasures among the battle’s surviving spoils.
• Yuan Yan resolved to restore the collapsed divine mountain and reconnect the shattered earth veins, expecting Heavenly Dao merit once the work was complete.
• Yuan Yan inspected the region and found that many earth veins had been destroyed or corrupted beyond reconnection, then concluded that full restoration would require him to dissolve his own origin into heaven and earth.

Yuan Yan created the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light to cleanse the blood fiendish resentment corrupting the Earth Veins, then restored the collapsed divine mountain and repaired its veins. After nourishing the remaining cracks with Yin-Yang Source Power, he left the Earth Veins whole and flowing smoothly.

• Yuan Yan chose to stabilize the damaged Earth Veins and devised the Yin-Yang Myriad Transformation Divine Light to purify their corruption.
• Yuan Yan secluded himself for three thousand years and created the new divine ability, then returned to the battlefield.
• Yuan Yan used the divine light to dissolve the blood fiendish resentment and nourish the shattered Earth Veins with Yin-Yang Source Power.
• Yuan Yan used Whip Mountains and Move Stones to restore the collapsed divine mountain, reconnect the severed Earth Veins, and link them to Mount Buzhou's Ancestral Vein.
• Yuan Yan drew one-third of the Yin-Yang Source Power from the Yinyang Cauldron and used it to heal the cracks, leaving the Earth Veins whole and unobstructed.

After Yuan Yan restored the earth veins, the Primordial World resumed transforming chaos qi into spiritual nourishment, and heavenly dao merit descended on him. He stored the merit in a golden wheel rather than using it to raise his cultivation, then wondered why other Three Clans Battlefields and the western earth veins remained unrepaired.

• The restored earth veins drew chaos qi from the void and transformed it into innate spiritual qi and dao rhyme spiritual essence, replenishing the land and the veins.
• Yuan Yan watched the world's cycle resume and recognized it as the process he had once helped sustain as the Primordial Gourd Vine.
• The heavenly dao rewarded Yuan Yan with abundant merit, which he condensed into a Merit Golden Wheel to protect his spirit and aid his comprehension.
• Yuan Yan considered the benefits of clearing Three Clans Battlefields and questioned why no one had cleared the others or repaired the western earth veins.
• The narration explained that the Three Clans War and Dao-Devil War had left few powerful cultivators available, while Hongjun and Yang Mei were occupied with attaining the dao.

Yuan Yan realized that restoring the Western Continent’s Earth Veins was far more difficult and less rewarding than clearing the Three Clans Battlefields. He summoned Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling to work together, leaving them ready to begin with the most valuable battlefields.

• Yuan Jie discovered that Luo’s destruction of the Western Continent’s Earth Veins had left little that could be repaired and few resources to recover.
• Yuan Yan decided to gather his Three-Selves Dao Bodies and clear the Three Clans Battlefields before anyone else claimed the opportunity.
• Yuan Yan connected with Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling and learned what they had experienced.
• Yuan Yan ordered Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling to stop their work and meet him.
• Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling arrived, and Yuan Yan directed them to locate and first clear the battlefields where Great Firmament Golden Immortals had fought.

Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling spent tens of thousands of years cleansing a vast Death Marshland and restoring its river, then continued repairing battlefields across the Primordial World. After thirty-six yuanhui of work, Yuan Jie gained merit for restoring a small battlefield, and the four had completed the major battlefields before dividing up the smaller ones.

• Yuan Yan and the other three deduced the battlefields that needed cleansing and traveled to a vast Death Marshland formed by an ancient war.
• The four devised a plan to purify the marsh’s bloodshed, resentment, and corpses, then restore its mountains, channels, and river.
• Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling spent fifty thousand years cleansing the marsh and under ten thousand more restoring its watercourses.
• After thirty-six yuanhui, Yuan Jie used the World Cauldron and Innate Four Symbols Formation Flags to cleanse and repair a small Three Clans Battlefield.
• He received Merit golden light as the battlefield recovered, while the four continued their work on the remaining smaller battlefields.

Yuan Jie and his companions had gained immense merit, advanced their cultivation, and collected many treasures while restoring Three Clans Battlefields. As they prepared to continue, Yuan Jie was ambushed by a sinister old man whose Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal cultivation gave him the advantage.

• Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, and the main body completed more than thirty yuanhui of battlefield restoration, accumulating merit, treasures, and substantial Dao progress.
• Yuan Jie sensed a life-threatening ambush and used the World Cauldron and Cosmos Pearl to defend against a poisoned black sword.
• Yuan Jie detected the hidden attacker and struck at the abnormal void with the Cosmos Pearl while suppressing the sword with the World Cauldron.
• An old man in a black Daoist robe emerged from the void, attacked with the Nether-Poison Dao, and reclaimed his Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure sword.
• Yuan Jie confronted the old man, but the man's Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal aura overwhelmed him and left him at a disadvantage.

Yuan Jie faced a Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal who tried to seize his treasures, and the two began a fierce battle. The fight continued as Yuan Jie awaited reinforcements from Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, and his true body.

• Yuan Jie secretly called Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, and his true body for help after assessing the old man's strength and treasures.
• The old man demanded Yuan Jie surrender the World Cauldron and Cosmos Pearl, but Yuan Jie refused.
• The old man attacked with Black Venom Sword Qi, sealing space-time and cutting off Yuan Jie's escape routes.
• Yuan Jie used the World Cauldron and Cosmos Pearl to dispel the sword qi, then trapped the old man in a Space-Time Dao annihilation.
• The old man resisted with his Nether-Poison Dao and Netherworld Soul Banner, broke free, and clashed with Yuan Jie in a battle of killing techniques.

Yuan Jie and the old man fought to a stalemate for hundreds of years while secretly prepared allies laid a killing formation. Alarmed by Yuan Jie’s strength and future threat, the old man burned his Origin Essence Blood to unleash his true power, forcing Yuan Jie onto the defensive but unable to break through his treasures.

• Yuan Jie and the old man fought across the void and the Broken Wasteland for hundreds of years, leaving both with only superficial injuries.
• Yuan Jie questioned why the old man had not revealed his full strength while Yuan Yan, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling secretly prepared a killing formation.
• The old man recognized Yuan Jie’s battle prowess as reminiscent of Torch Dragon and feared Yuan Jie would eventually surpass and kill him.
• Jealousy and greed drove the old man to reject thoughts of peace and decide to kill Yuan Jie for his treasures and Primordial Origin.
• The old man burned his Origin Essence Blood and used a secret art, increasing his Nether-Poison Dao power and driving Yuan Jie back.
• Yuan Jie used the World Cauldron to defend himself and the Cosmos Pearl to shift through space-time, holding off the old man’s attacks.

Yuan Jie and his allies launched a coordinated ambush to kill the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor, trapping him in a formation and destroying his body and spirit. As the chapter ends, they continued attacking his scattered Primordial Spirit to prevent him from recovering.

• Yuan Jie contacted Yuan Yan, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling and prepared to end their long battle with a coordinated strike.
• Yuan Jie froze spacetime, Yuan Yan sealed the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor's protective treasures, and Yuan Ling trapped him in an illusion of his past defeat by Torch Dragon.
• The Netherworld Serpent Ancestor broke the illusion by burning his essence and origin, but Yuan Jie and his allies activated the Four Symbols Return-to-Origin Formation and engulfed him.
• The formation tore apart the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor's body and Primordial Spirit, exposing his Innate Imperishable True Spirit.
• Yuan Jie restrained him with the World Cauldron and Cosmos Pearl, then used the Immortal-Slaying Gourd to slash his Primordial Spirit and true spirit into fragments.
• Yuan Ling trapped the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor in another illusion and unleashed the Soul-Scattering Gourd and Spirit-Absorbing Gourd against his scattered Primordial Spirit.

Yuan Yan and the others completely suppressed the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor, erased his remaining contingencies, and restored the region damaged in their battle. After reviewing his memories, Yuan Yan learned how to advance to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm and discovered that severing the Three Selves or Three Corpses did not prevent that path.

• Yuan Lun and Yuan Ling suppressed the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor's Innate Imperishable True Spirit while the Four Symbols Return-to-Origin Formation refined his fleshly primordial spirit into Chaos Origin power.
• Yuan Yan and the others used the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor's aura, Dao resonance, and Karma to eliminate his remaining contingencies, then Yuan Lun and Yuan Ling searched his memories as Yuan Yan and Yuan Jie restored the battle-scarred region.
• After completing their work in less than a thousand years, the four received Merit greater than the Karmic Force incurred by their battle.
• Yuan Yan learned from the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor's memories that reaching the Primordial Golden Immortal realm required transforming the Great Firmament Dao Fruit into a Flawed Hunyuan Dao Fruit and beginning its fusion with the Innate Imperishable True Spirit.
• Yuan Lun and Yuan Ling determined that severing the Three Selves or Three Corpses did not conflict with the Hunyuan Dao, easing Yuan Yan's concern about pursuing that path.
• Yuan Yan learned that the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor's failed breakthrough stemmed partly from Torch Dragon's attack, lost Fortune, and injuries sustained during two calamities.

Yuan Yan and his companions finished restoring the Three Clans Battlefields and received a substantial final payment of Heavenly Dao Merit. The Heavenly Dao then revealed opportunities and urged them to continue repairing damaged regions of the Primordial World.

• Yuan Yan and Yuan Jie spent decades studying Netherworld Serpent Ancestor's memories and learned his cultivation insights, the path to Primordial Golden Immortality, and many secrets of the Primordial World.
• Yuan Yan postponed entering seclusion and coordinated with Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling to finish restoring the remaining Three Clans Battlefields.
• The four completed the restoration in less than one Epoch, and the Heavenly Dao sent them an unexpectedly large amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit.
• Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling sensed opportunities and learned through deduction that the Heavenly Dao had settled the final payment and was rewarding them in advance to encourage further restoration work.
• The four learned that refusing to act on the opportunities could cost them future chances and bring tribulations or calamities.

Yuan Yan accepted the chance to clear and restore more of the Primordial World, hoping to gain a Supreme-Grade treasure, and followed his sense of opportunity into the East Sea. He reached a shifting location but could not find what he was seeking despite an extensive search.

• Yuan Yan decided to pursue the opportunity, planning to have his avatars handle the restoration work while he traveled to the Western Continent.
• Yuan Yan and Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling followed their senses of opportunity through the void to the East Sea.
• Yuan Yan speculated that the opportunity might be one of the Three Immortal Isles Overseas and flew deeper into the sea.
• Yuan Yan reached the location indicated by his senses, but the opportunity had shifted elsewhere.
• Yuan Yan searched the surrounding sea with his divine sense and Yinyang Divine Light but found no trace of the elusive opportunity.

Yuan Yan located a hidden immortal island in the void and forced his way through its protective formation while enduring Chaos Astral Wind. He entered Yingzhou Immortal Island, but still did not know which of the Three Immortal Isles Overseas it was.

• Yuan Yan recalled the legend that the Three Immortal Isles Overseas were fragments of Chaos that appeared in the East Sea across time and space, then opened a passage to a hidden island.
• Yuan Yan used the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and Myriad Dao Primordial Gourd to breach the island’s formation and enter it, but became trapped within the formation amid Chaos Astral Wind.
• Yuan Yan spent over a hundred years studying the formation and concluded that he needed to cross the astral wind layer and break through the barrier by force.
• Yuan Yan resisted and absorbed the Chaos Astral Wind as he reached the formation barrier, then used the Myriad Dao Primordial Gourd to open a gap.
• Yuan Yan entered Yingzhou Immortal Island and found its spiritual energy and Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence exceptionally dense, but could not determine which immortal island it was.

Yuan Yan refined Yingzhou Immortal Island’s boundary stele and discovered a lake containing the Twelfth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus, many other innate White Lotuses, and an immense supply of Three Lights Divine Water. After learning how the lotus platforms reproduced, he took the World-Purifying White Lotus, the three Ninth-Rank White Lotuses, and less than one-tenth of the divine water, leaving the rest behind.

• Yuan Yan found and spent three thousand years refining Yingzhou Immortal Island’s boundary stele, becoming the island’s master.
• Using the island’s authority, Yuan Yan discovered a mist-shrouded lake filled with Three Lights Divine Water and innate White Lotuses.
• Yuan Yan recognized the Twelfth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus and learned the value of the divine water and the other lotuses in the lake.
• Yuan Yan branded the World-Purifying White Lotus and learned how the five great lotus platforms could nurture more innate lotus platforms.
• After considering how to handle the treasure, Yuan Yan took the three Ninth-Rank White Lotuses and less than one-tenth of the Three Lights Divine Water.

Yuan Yan kept Yingzhou Immortal Island as a cultivation ground and learned that Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling had each found powerful treasures. After they joined him, he distributed white lotuses and Three Lights Divine Water, and the four began collecting the island’s treasures.

• Yuan Yan kept most of the World-Purifying White Lotuses and Three Lights Divine Water on Yingzhou Immortal Island so its formation and earth veins could continue producing treasures.
• Yuan Yan learned that Yuan Jie had found the Northern Dark Water-Control Banner, Yuan Lun the Mountain-Driving Whip, and Yuan Ling the Grand Illusory Mirror and Mirage Dragon Pearl.
• Yuan Yan sent Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling Yingzhou Immortal Island’s location and entry method, and they soon arrived.
• Yuan Yan gave each of the three a Ninth-Rank World-Purifying White Lotus and some Three Lights Divine Water.
• The four collected Yingzhou Immortal Island’s treasures, including twelve Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, a Primordial Pure-Spirit Tea Tree, and a Wood Spirit Pearl.

Yuan Yan and the others failed to deduce the locations of Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, so they decided to focus on cultivating before visiting the Western Continent. They began seclusion using their treasures and Heavenly Dao Merit to accelerate their breakthroughs.

• Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling used Yingzhou Immortal Island's boundary stele to search for the other two immortal islands, but their deduction found nothing.
• Yuan Jie suggested the Three Immortal Islands might be independent, and Yuan Yan set aside the search for Penglai and Fangzhang.
• Yuan Yan decided that the four would enter seclusion until the others reached the Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm and he reached the Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm.
• Yuan Yan planned to use Heavenly Dao Merit, spiritual-root fruits, the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment, and the World-Purifying White Lotus to speed their cultivation.
• Yuan Yan and the others sat on the World-Purifying White Lotus platforms, consumed Innate Wisdom Fruits, and entered a state of enlightenment beneath the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment.

The Three Pure Ones announced their breakthroughs to the Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm, prompting reactions from the Primordial World's leading factions. Nuwa and Fuxi revealed they had reached that realm earlier, and Nuwa wondered whether they should leave their hidden refuge and travel the world.

• Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian announced that they had transcended the River of Time and attained the Great Firmament Golden Immortal Dao.
• Zhurong and Gonggong challenged the Three Pure Ones' claim to Pangu's orthodox lineage, while Dijiang urged the Twelve Ancestral Witches to compete for Fortune.
• Di Jun and Taiyi watched from the Sun Star as Minghe assessed his own impending breakthrough from the Blood Sea.
• Nuwa and Fuxi observed that the Three Pure Ones had publicized their breakthrough to gain fame and Fortune, unaware that Nuwa and Fuxi had attained the realm twenty yuanhui earlier.
• Nuwa noted that Yuan Yan had broken through even earlier, then asked Fuxi whether they should leave their refuge and travel the Primordial World.
