After the Great Dao transformed the Twelve Ancestral Witches' Martial Dao manifestations into Law Deities, Pan Xuan proposed searching Mount Buzhou for innate spiritual roots to strengthen the Witch Clan. He, Houtu, and Xuan Ming discovered a concealed restriction in a valley and sensed four powers within it.

After Hong Jun ended his first sermon, he announced that he would teach the Quasi-Sage Dao and the Dao of Sages in two further sermons before uniting with the Heavenly Dao. As the cultivators left Zixiao Palace, the Three Pure Ones argued over whether the Witch Clan’s earlier vow to complete the Heavenly Dao had been sincere or foolish.

Pan Xuan learned that Hong Jun had spoken favorably of the Witch Clan during the sermon, but he remained wary as the clan prepared for future trials.

• Pan Xuan told Zhu Rong and the other Ancestral Witches to ignore the insults and wait for Hong Jun's second sermon before acting.
• Pan Xuan explained that the Witch Clan should use the cultivators' absence to search for innate treasures, which their Law Deities could now sense more easily.

• When the second sermon began, the cultivators left for Zixiao Palace, and the Ancestral Witches gathered outside Pangu Hall.
• Pan Xuan said the Witch Clan needed more bases than Mount Buzhou, and Di Jiang agreed.

Pan Xuan divided the Witch Clan’s search for treasures, sending the Twelve Ancestral Witches to the East Sea for the Three Immortal Islands while he headed alone to Wuyi Mountain for the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin. The group departed from Pangu Hall, leaving Pan Xuan flying south toward his destination.

• Pan Xuan told the Ancestral Witches about the Three Immortal Islands and urged them to search the East Sea for the Witch Clan’s overseas foundation.

• The Twelve Ancestral Witches flew east from Mount Buzhou as Pan Xuan watched them depart.
• Pan Xuan summoned his Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon Law Deity, concealed his aura with the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, and flew south toward Wuyi Mountain.

Pan Xuan found and claimed the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin in Wuyi Mountain, using the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler and his Vast Righteous Qi to overcome its restrictions and resistance. He began studying the coin’s authority over the transaction law, which could let the Witch Clan prepare to influence the future order of heaven and earth.

• Pan Xuan refined the coin with Vast Righteous Qi and his Law Deity, discovering that it embodied the transaction law and that treasure-dropping was only one application of it.
• Pan Xuan drew the coin into his body, secured the valley with restrictions, and began studying how exchanges of strength, lifespan, karma, and fate formed covenants witnessed by the Heavenly Dao and Great Dao.

Pan Xuan found and carefully transplanted the Enlightenment Tea Tree from a hidden cave on Wuyi Mountain. After receiving an urgent message from Di Jiang that the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not break the restrictions protecting the Three Immortal Islands, Pan Xuan flew east to help.

• Pan Xuan broke the life-force restriction behind a waterfall and discovered an Enlightenment Tea Tree beside a spring.
• Pan Xuan extracted the tree intact and protected it with vast righteous qi while preparing to return to Mount Buzhou.
• Di Jiang contacted Pan Xuan through a jade talisman and said the Twelve Ancestral Witches had found the Three Immortal Islands but could not break their restrictions.
• Pan Xuan set out for the East Sea, reasoning that the islands' restrictions would require careful analysis rather than brute force.

• Pan Xuan used his Law Deity and divine sense to identify the restrictions as a formation founded on the Three Powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

• Pan Xuan used the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to trace the formation's pathways and find the core nodes of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

• Ao Yuan secretly watched Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches break the Three Powers Formation and collect a cauldron and two innate spiritual roots from the Three Immortal Islands.
• After the Witch Clan left, Ao Yuan checked the islands and then went to the East Sea Eye to report what he had witnessed to Ancestral Dragon.
• Ancestral Dragon recalled failing to break the formation himself and told Ao Yuan that the Dragon Clan would let the Witch Clan cultivate on the islands as long as it did not threaten their interests.

• Ao Yuan relayed the decree to the East Sea Dragon Palace's senior ministers and returned to cultivating.

They chose five Great Witches and over a hundred clan members to establish and defend an overseas cultivation sanctuary on the Three Immortal Islands, then departed to reinforce its restrictions.

• Pan Xuan cultivated with the Ancestral Witches, refined Enlightenment Tea, and waited as more than a thousand years remained in Hong Jun’s second sermon.
• Pan Xuan called the Twelve Ancestral Witches together and proposed gathering stellar origins to create a Witch Clan version of the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array.
• Pan Xuan explained that they would first gather the origins of the 365 primary celestial stars, then study the restrictions on the Sun Star and Taiyin Star without alerting Di Jun, Taiyi, Changxi, or Xihe.
• Di Jiang agreed to the plan, and the thirteen left Pangu Hall and flew toward the Nine Heavens with their Law Deities summoned.

Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches entered the Primordial Starry Sky to collect small amounts of origin power from the 365 principal stars for deducing the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array. They left the Sun Star and Taiyin Star for later, and the chapter ended with each of them gathering origins from stars suited to their laws.

• Pan Xuan explained that they would collect only a small amount of origin power from each star and warned the witches not to damage them.
• Di Jiang divided the stars among the thirteen, while Pan Xuan set aside the Sun Star and Taiyin Star because of the restrictions placed on them by Di Jun, Taiyi, Changxi, and Xihe.

• Pan Xuan collected golden star origin power from a star whose essence was crucial to deducing the great array.

Pan Xuan discovered the Ziwei Emperor Star’s hidden essence and broke the restriction protecting it, revealing the Star Seal and Ziwei Emperor Sword.
