Xuanming and Tian Wu considered whether to take Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming as disciples, while Dijiang reflected on how their paths had changed. On Kunlun Mountain, Guangchengzi and the Chan Sect Golden Immortals brutally attacked Interception Sect disciples, who fled with their wounded.

• Xuanming said she might take Yunxiao as a disciple if Yunxiao independently turned to the ice law and crossed its threshold.

After Chan Sect disciples injured and insulted the Interception Sect’s followers, Tongtian confronted Yuanshi, who defended the attack and refused to restrain his disciples.

Xingtian watched the Chan Sect and Jie Sect disciples clash on Kunlun Mountain, then barged through the mist into a confrontation among the Three Pure Ones. Dijiang arrived to stand beside Xingtian, and Xingtian began recounting the fight as the Three Pure Ones stayed silent.

• Guangchengzi and Taiyi Zhenren accused Duobao of ganging up on them, enraging Duobao and the Jie Sect disciples.
• Xingtian laughed at the Chan Sect from the clouds, but a blanket of mist covered the battlefield and blocked his view.

• Yuanshi Tianzun threatened Xingtian, but Dijiang stepped through shattered space and asked whether there was any more of the spectacle.
• Xingtian recounted to Dijiang how the Chan Sect disciples had attacked the Jie Sect and then blamed Duobao.

Dijiang confronted the Three Pure Ones over their disciples’ fighting on Kunlun Mountain and ordered them to leave, giving them five years to move. Laozi denied that the clash had been anything but friendly sparring, and Xingtian mocked his shameless explanation.

• Xingtian told Dijiang how the Chan Sect disciples had called for help and ganged up on their opponents, prompting Dijiang to ridicule Yuanshi and Tongtian’s disciples.

• At Taiqing Palace, Laozi told Yuanshi and Tongtian that their conflict needed a real resolution and asked how the Chan and Interception Sects could coexist.

Laozi mediated the dispute between Yuanshi and Tongtian over the Chan Sect’s attack on Interception Sect disciples, but his compromise left Tongtian feeling wronged. The brothers accepted his ruling and returned to discipline their disciples.

• Tongtian demanded that Yuanshi make Guangchengzi and the other Chan Sect disciples apologize and accept the principle of teaching without discrimination.
• Yuanshi rejected Tongtian’s demands and blamed the Interception Sect disciples for disturbing Kunlun Mountain, prompting the brothers to trade accusations.

• Taiyi used the heavenly dao origin to unite his Three Corpses and reached an unconventional Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm on the Sun Star.

Taiyi celebrated his breakthrough into the primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm, but Dijiang easily broke his attack and exposed the weakness of his unstable foundation. Meanwhile, Fuxi settled among the humans and began forging a path to the Dao by turning his divination insights into laws of his own.

• Taiyi used the Chaos Bell to attack Dijiang, who shattered the sound waves with a single punch and mocked Taiyi's weakened realm.
• Taiyi admitted defeat but resolved to stabilize his realm in seclusion, while Di Jun anticipated pursuing the same breakthrough.
