• Dijiang warned the Ancestral Witches that Hongjun’s growing power made individual strength more important than relying on the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation.

• Dijiang sensed Hongjun’s ascension to Sage and questioned how he could take the final step after proving the Dao through laws.

• After thirty thousand years, Haotian invited the gathered powers inside, and the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Ancestor Hong Yun, and Ancestor Kunpeng claimed the six golden prayer mats.

Jieyin and Zhunti took the front-row seats from Hong Yun and Kunpeng before Hongjun began preaching at the Violet Firmament Palace, disappointed that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were absent.

After Hongjun ended his sermon, the Three Pure Ones and other powerful figures gathered at Mount Buzhou to claim the matured Primordial Gourd Vine.

Zhu Rong defeated Yuanshi Tianzun when the Three Pure Ones and other powerful figures tried to claim the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ gourd vine. After the intruders fled, Dijiang harvested its seven mature gourds, and the Ancestral Witches wondered how to divide them.

• Zhu Rong struck Yuanshi Tianzun with Southern Bright Flame, overwhelming the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and leaving Yuanshi badly injured.
• Red Cloud tried to mediate by suggesting everyone share the seven gourds, but Zhu Rong rejected him and threatened him.

After the sermon, a mud monkey who had reached the Golden Immortal realm called out to him, displaying a faint affinity with the Space Law.

• Dijiang gave six gourds to the other Ancestral Witches, kept the Primal Chaos Gourd, and took the Gourd Vine and Nine Heavens Resting Soil back to Pangu Hall.

• Six-Eared Macaque begged Dijiang to accept him as a disciple after the first sermon, but Dijiang left without agreeing.
• Six Ears asked again after each of Dijiang’s next two sermons, and Dijiang finally invited him to enter Pangu Hall.
• Dijiang healed Six Ears’ bleeding forehead and brought him into the hall, where the other Ancestor Shamans questioned his choice of disciple.
• Dijiang revealed that Six Ears had grasped the rudiments of Space Law and identified him as one of the Four Monkeys of Chaos.
• Dijiang explained that Six Ears could cultivate the Primordial Spirit and laws as his main path, with physical cultivation secondary, and asked him to choose.

Six-Eared Macaque chose to cultivate his Primordial Spirit, body, and laws together, and Dijiang gave him the Ninefold Mysterious Technique. After Dijiang ended the crowds’ attempts to beg for discipleship, Six-Eared Macaque suffered through the technique’s brutal first trial, leaving Zhu Rong worried he might not survive.

• Six-Eared Macaque chose the path of cultivating his Primordial Spirit, body, and laws together, and Dijiang bestowed the Ninefold Mysterious Technique on him.
• A thousand years later, Zhu Jiuyin rejected the crowds who begged him to accept them as disciples, and the other ancestral witches likewise turned away opportunistic seekers.
• Zhu Rong and Gonggong complained to Dijiang that the crowds’ pleas were disrupting the ancestral witches’ teachings, so Dijiang established a rule forbidding discipleship petitions after lectures.
• Dijiang announced that the Pangu Orthodox Lineage accepted disciples based only on destiny and temperament, threatening to cripple and expel anyone who kept clamoring for discipleship.
• Six-Eared Macaque began suffering severe bodily damage while cultivating the Ninefold Mysterious Technique, and Zhu Rong asked Dijiang whether they should help him.

Six-Eared Macaque completed the first turn of the Ninefold Mysterious Technique and earned Dijiang’s approval. Nearly thirty thousand years later, Dijiang opened a sermon on the Primordial Origin Great Dao to Mount Buzhou’s followers, setting up a contest for influence against Hongjun’s upcoming sermon.

• Over nearly thirty thousand years, Mount Buzhou’s followers grew stronger, with tens of thousands reaching Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and more than a dozen becoming Daluo Golden Immortals.
• Zhu Jiuyin warned that Hongjun’s second sermon was likely near, and Dijiang said he would not attend it.
• Dijiang decreed that Mount Buzhou followers at the Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Realm or above could hear the Twelve Ancestral Witches expound the Primordial Origin Great Dao.
• Dijiang explained that the sermon would gather providence and let beings choose between the Ancestral Witches’ Law-Proving Path and Hongjun’s Dao of Three-Corpse Severing.

Hongjun explained three methods of proving the Dao, while Laozi questioned him about the Twelve Ancestral Witches and their Force-Proving Dao. As Hongjun taught Three-Corpse Severing in Violet Firmament Palace, the Twelve Ancestral Witches expounded the Law Dao at Mount Buzhou, gaining fervent followers and greater fortune.

• Hongjun described Force-Proving Dao, Three-Corpse Severing, and Merit-Proving Dao as the three methods of proving the Dao.
• Laozi asked Hongjun about the Twelve Ancestral Witches' realm and path, learning that they were Quasi-Saints who followed Force-Proving Dao.
• Hongjun's answer led Laozi to conclude that Force-Proving Dao was a dead end, while Yuanshi Tianzun privately vowed to surpass the Ancestral Witches through Three-Corpse Severing.
• Hongjun began teaching Three-Corpse Severing to the guests in Violet Firmament Palace.
• At Mount Buzhou, Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches taught the Law Dao, prompting breakthroughs among their listeners and increasing their fortune.

After Hongjun’s second sermon sent the Primordial World’s great powers into seclusion to pursue Quasi-Saint breakthroughs, Dijiang led the Twelve Ancestral Witches on a quiet expedition to seize Innate Spirit Treasures before anyone else could claim them. Their sweep began successfully, and Zhu Jiuyin’s foresight promised further discoveries.

• The Law Dao’s rising fortune pushed Dijiang into the Late-Primordial Origin Golden Immortal stage and the other Ancestral Witches into the Mid-Primordial Origin Golden Immortal stage.
• Hongjun ended his second sermon and announced that he would speak on the Sage Dao at his final sermon in thirty thousand years, prompting great powers across the Primordial World to begin seclusion and sever corpses.
• Dijiang decided that the Ancestral Witches would search the Primordial World for Innate Spirit Treasures while their rivals were secluded, and divided the twelve into four groups.
• Dijiang, Houtu, and Xuanming took the Vast Sea Divine Pearl from a Rogue Cultivator ancestor on an island by the Eastern Sea, and Dijiang said it was suited to Gonggong.
• Zhu Jiuyin used his Time Foresight to locate future treasure appearances, while the other groups also began making gains.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches rampaged across the Primordial World, plundering treasures and defeating anyone who challenged them. They returned to Mount Buzhou with a mountain of spoils as Dijiang anticipated that some of the experts who had heard the Dao would soon become Quasi-Saints.

• Zhu Jiuyin, Zhu Rong, and Tian Wu rescued an azure-robed cultivator from Myriad Poisons Ancestor, destroyed his White Bone Banner, and took the Innate Venom Dragon Grass.

• The four groups returned to Pangu Hall and displayed their spoils, while Dijiang praised the haul and predicted that some Violet Firmament Palace listeners would soon reach the Quasi-Saint realm.

Mount Buzhou expanded its Dao sermons and offered Spirit Treasures to attract followers, while Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiyi broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm and planned to confront the ancestral witches. Yuanshi arrived at Mount Buzhou seeking revenge and prestige, and Dijiang led the ancestral witches out to meet him.

• Dijiang decided Mount Buzhou would expand its Dao sermons and award Spirit Treasures, drawing countless cultivators and greatly increasing its fortune.
• Yuanshi Tianzun severed his Evil Corpse, reached the Quasi-Saint realm, and ignored Laozi's warning to confront the ancestral witches alone.
• Taiyi severed his Evil Corpse, while Di Jun said he expected to sever his Good Corpse within a hundred years; they planned to challenge Mount Buzhou and build their own power.
• Dijiang sensed Yuanshi approaching Mount Buzhou, and Gonggong and Zhu Rong recognized him and prepared to fight.
• Dijiang led the ancestral witches out to meet Yuanshi as he arrived seeking revenge and prestige.

Yuanshi Tianzun attacked the beings cultivating at Mount Buzhou, provoking the Twelve Ancestral Witches into confronting him. Dijiang summoned the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation, and a colossal phantom began to take shape above the mountain.

• Yuanshi Tianzun arrived at Mount Buzhou and used his pressure to injure countless low-cultivation beings.
• Dijiang and the other eleven Ancestral Witches confronted Yuanshi Tianzun, and Zhu Rong mocked his Quasi-Saint cultivation.
• Yuanshi Tianzun struck with Jade Clarity Divine Thunder, but Qiang Liang swallowed the lightning.
• Zhu Rong's punch forced Yuanshi Tianzun back despite his defensive immortal radiance, so Yuanshi Tianzun summoned his Evil Corpse, the Jade Pure Daoist.
• Dijiang stopped the Ancestral Witches from attacking individually and ordered them to form the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches took their positions, combining their auras as a colossal phantom began to appear above Mount Buzhou.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned the Pangu Phantom and forced Yuanshi Tianzun to kneel, prompting Hongjun to intervene. Dijiang used the confrontation to extort Spirit Treasures from Hongjun, who offered Gonggong the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.

• The Twelve Ancestral Witches formed the Twelve Capitals Divine Baleful Formation, and its Pangu Phantom shook the Primordial Wilderness Continent.
• The Pangu Phantom’s pressure crushed Yuanshi Tianzun and Jade Pure Daoist to the ground, and Dijiang threatened to make Yuanshi kneel for a hundred thousand years.
• Hongjun appeared at Mount Buzhou and asked Dijiang to spare Yuanshi and end the confrontation.
• Dijiang demanded Spirit Treasures for Gonggong in exchange for settling the debt, and Hongjun gave him the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.

Dijiang forced Hongjun to compensate the Twelve Ancestral Witches for Yuanshi Tianzun’s injuries and insults, then accepted Hongjun’s invitation to the final lecture at Violet Firmament Palace in exchange for the Pangu Banner. Hongjun recognized Dijiang’s plan but weighed the treasure against the Fortune he needed for his merger with Heaven’s Way.

• Hongjun gave the Twelve Ancestral Witches twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, completing their set, but Dijiang demanded further compensation for Yuanshi Tianzun’s insults.
• Hongjun gave She Bishi the Myriad Poisons Pearl, and Dijiang released Yuanshi Tianzun, who fled to Kunlun Mountain.
• Hongjun invited the Twelve Ancestral Witches to his final lecture at Violet Firmament Palace in thirty thousand years.
• Dijiang accepted the invitation on the condition that Hongjun give him the Pangu Banner.
• Hongjun pointed out that the Pangu Banner would let Dijiang combine the three Heaven-Opening Treasures, but considered the exchange worthwhile for his plan to merge with Heaven’s Way.

Dijiang forced Hongjun to promise the Pangu Banner and a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure in exchange for the Twelve Ancestral Witches attending the third sermon. Thirty thousand years later, the witches arrived at Violet Firmament Palace, where Yuanshi Tianzun nearly attacked them before Hongjun opened the gates and summoned everyone inside.

• Dijiang rejected Hongjun's offer to lend the Pangu Banner and demanded it along with a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.
• Hongjun agreed to give Dijiang both treasures after the third sermon, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches celebrated before Dijiang warned that the sermon could be a trap.
• During the following thirty thousand years, many great powers entered the Quasi-Saint Realm, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches raised more than a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals and several hundred thousand Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
• When Violet Firmament Palace opened, the Twelve Ancestral Witches arrived, and Zhu Rong taunted Yuanshi Tianzun about his past humiliation.
• Yuanshi Tianzun began to attack, but Hongjun's voice suppressed him as the palace gates opened and Hongjun invited the guests inside.
