Chapter Summaries

Jieyin and Zhunti visited the Witch Clan after the Zixiao Palace sermon and warned them that many mighty figures mocked their claim to safeguard the Primordial World. 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.

• Di Jiang welcomed Jieyin and Zhunti into Pangu Hall, where they praised the Witch Clan’s fortune and described Hong Jun’s three sermons and planned Unity with the Dao.
• Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and Houtu questioned how Hong Jun’s plan to complete the Heavenly Dao related to the Witch Clan’s own duty, and Di Jiang said the two roles did not conflict.
• Jieyin and Zhunti told the Ancestral Witches that many attendees at Zixiao Palace ridiculed the Witch Clan’s earlier actions, and Di Jiang said the clan needed no approval from others.
• Jieyin revealed that Hong Jun had called the Witch Clan’s oath a blessing for the Primordial World, leaving Pan Xuan unsure whether Hong Jun meant goodwill or had another plan.
• Jieyin and Zhunti departed for the West, and Pan Xuan resolved to face the challenges ahead by relying on Pangu Hall, the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus, the Martial Dao, and Law Deities.

Pan Xuan persuaded the Twelve Ancestral Witches to endure the Primordial World's mockery and wait until Hong Jun's second sermon drew powerful cultivators away. As the sermon began, the Witch Clan prepared to seek resources and establish more bases, while Pan Xuan kept his plans for the Three Immortal Islands and Wuyi Mountain's Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin to himself.

• 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.
• Pan Xuan secretly studied where the Three Immortal Islands and the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin were located, intending to retrieve the coin himself.
• 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.
• Pan Xuan revealed that Wuyi Mountain held the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, and explained how it could counter spiritual treasures.

• 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 used his Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon Law Deity to detect two sets of Innate Restrictions across Wuyi Mountain and flew to the nearer one.
• Pan Xuan found the transaction-law restrictions beneath a cliff and broke their central node with the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler.
• Pan Xuan identified the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin and used the ruler’s power to measure standards to overcome the coin’s rejection and claim it.
• 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 examined the restrictions beneath the East Sea and discovered that they formed a primordial Three Powers Formation. He located the core nodes of Heaven, Earth, and Man, but had not yet begun breaking the formation.

• Pan Xuan flew to the East Sea and met the Twelve Ancestral Witches above the hidden restrictions.
• 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 explained that breaking the formation required disrupting the balance of all three powers at once.
• Pan Xuan used the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to trace the formation's pathways and find the core nodes of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
• Pan Xuan opened his eyes after understanding the Three Powers Formation's structure.

• The thirteen Ancestral Witches laid a concealment restriction around Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, then flew west toward Pangu Hall.

Ao Yuan reported to Ancestral Dragon that Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches had broken the Three Powers Formation and claimed the Three Immortal Islands. Ancestral Dragon ordered the Dragon Clan not to provoke the Witch Clan unless it threatened their foundations, leaving Ao Yuan to monitor their activities in the East Sea.

• 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.
• Ancestral Dragon ordered Ao Yuan to monitor the Witch Clan and report any overreach, while the Dragon Clan avoided initiating conflict.
• Ao Yuan relayed the decree to the East Sea Dragon Palace's senior ministers and returned to cultivating.

Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches planted three innate spiritual roots at Pangu Hall and placed the Creation Cauldron inside. 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 assigned the five Great Witches their duties, and he and the Twelve Ancestral Witches set out with them to reinforce the Three Immortal Islands' restrictions.

Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches reinforced the wards around the Three Immortal Islands and helped establish them as the Witch Clan’s overseas cultivation grounds. After entrusting the islands to Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Kuafu, Feng Bo, and Rain Master, Pan Xuan returned to Pangu Hall and reflected on the clan’s growing reserves.

• Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches strengthened the Three Immortal Islands’ wards with their laws, formations, and Pan Xuan’s powers.

Pan Xuan proposed that the Witch Clan gather stellar origins and devise its own Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array while the strongest figures were away at Hong Jun’s second sermon. He and the Twelve Ancestral Witches set off from Mount Buzhou toward the Primordial Starry Sky.

• 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 gave each witch a piece of spirit jade and told them to regroup in eight hundred years, then Di Jiang sent them off.

• 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. He realized Di Jun would otherwise have absorbed the essence and prevented the Ziwei Emperor from being born, leaving the fate of the gestating Innate Divinity in Pan Xuan’s hands.

• Pan Xuan sensed the Ziwei Emperor Star’s imperial qi and flew to its purple surface.
• Pan Xuan found an innate restriction fused with the star’s essence and used the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to break it.
• Pan Xuan discovered the gestating essence of the Ziwei Emperor Star, along with the Star Seal and Ziwei Emperor Sword.
• Pan Xuan understood that Di Jun would have seized the essence and strangled the Ziwei Emperor before his birth.

Pan Xuan absorbed the Ziwei Emperor Star's essence and broke through to the early-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm. After claiming the Star Seal and Ziwei Emperor Sword and collecting more star essence, he headed to reunite with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

• Pan Xuan used Vast Righteous Qi to calm the Star Seal and Ziwei Emperor Sword, then drew the Ziwei Emperor Star's essence into himself.
• The essence merged with Pan Xuan's Vast Righteous Qi and Merit and Yellow Qi Power, forming Imperial Dao Power and completing his Dao.
• Pan Xuan broke through to the early-stage Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm, and his Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon Law Deity gained purple markings and imperial qi.
• Pan Xuan took the Star Seal and Ziwei Emperor Sword, then stored a thread of the star's remaining essence in Spirit Jade for studying the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array.
• Pan Xuan messaged the Twelve Ancestral Witches that he had finished collecting essence and flew toward their meeting point.

Pan Xuan and the Ancestral Witches gathered at the Sun Star, where he used the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin to trade away the Li Fire Banner for passage through its restrictions. He entered alone to obtain a wisp of the Sun Star’s essence while the others waited outside.

• Pan Xuan passed through the opening and disappeared into the Sun Star’s flames as the Ancestral Witches waited outside.

Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches collected stellar origins, including the Sun and Taiyin origins, to prepare for deriving the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array. They returned to Pangu Hall with the origins and began planning the work before Hong Jun’s third sermon.

• Pan Xuan traded the Li Fire Banner and Mysterious Water Banner for passage through the Sun Star’s restriction and collected a wisp of Sun Origin.

• Pan Xuan led the group back to Pangu Hall before the end of Hong Jun’s second sermon.
• Pan Xuan placed the Spirit Jade containing the stellar origins in Pangu Hall and said they would use the next three thousand years to derive the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array.

Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches began deriving the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array using the stellar origins they had gathered, Pan Xuan’s star chart, and the power of their Law Deities. As Pan Xuan measured the stars’ positions and power flows, he uncovered the cycle that would form the array’s foundation.

• Pan Xuan presented the Zhoutian Star Chart and explained that the array would simulate the stars’ movements and draw on their power.
• Pan Xuan placed the thirteen pieces of Spirit Jade on the chart and assigned each Ancestral Witch a stellar origin to empower with their Law Deity.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Pan Xuan channeled their powers into the Spirit Jade, beginning the array’s derivation.
• Pan Xuan used the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to measure the star positions and trace the flow of power between them.
• Pan Xuan found that the Sun Star and Taiyin Star formed the core, Ziwei Emperor Star commanded the other stars, and their power circulated in a repeating cycle.

Pan Xuan completed the rudimentary deductions for the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array and explained how its flags, focal points, and core would work. He then proposed using leftover star origin and Ancestral Witch essence blood to create a Star Witch Clan, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches agreed to begin with fire-attribute witches.

• Pan Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches used their powers to deduce the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array, gaining new insights into their laws.
• Pan Xuan completed the array's rudimentary form and explained its three hundred and sixty-five flags, Sun Star and Taiyin Star focal points, and Ziwei Emperor Star core.
• Pan Xuan confirmed that the collected star origin was sufficient to refine the flags and proposed combining leftover star origin with Ancestral Witch essence blood to create a Star Witch Clan.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches agreed to attempt creating Star Witches, beginning with Zhu Rong's essence blood and fire-attribute star origin.
• Di Jiang assigned Pan Xuan to lead the flag refining and Star Witch creation, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches assisting.

Pan Xuan used the Creation Cauldron to begin refining the formation flags for the Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches guarding him. He completed the first batch of dozens of Mid-Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure flags, and the array’s full potential depended on refining and arranging all three hundred and sixty-five.

• Pan Xuan arranged the Star Origins on the Zhoutian Star Chart and told the Twelve Ancestral Witches he could finish the flags within a hundred years using the Creation Cauldron.
• Pan Xuan combined Star Origins and innate spiritual materials in the cauldron, using Vast Righteous Qi, merit profound yellow light, and the Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to guide the refinement.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches kept watch as Pan Xuan focused on refining dozens of flags at once, while Houtu and Xuan Ming showed concern for him.
• The Creation Cauldron released dozens of golden formation flags, each linked to one of the principal stars.
• Pan Xuan determined that each completed flag was a Mid-Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure and that the full array could rival a Postnatal Supreme Treasure once all flags were refined and arranged.
