Ren visited the Wu Clan and was welcomed by Xingtian, who explained that Feilian and Duan De had angered Xuanming Ancestral Shaman by raiding Demon Race tombs. Xingtian led Ren through the Wu Clan’s military-like settlement and a valley filled with stolen Spirit Roots, then brought him toward the Ancestral Witch Hall to meet Xuanming.

• Xingtian took Ren toward the Ancestral Witch Hall, where Xuanming Ancestral Shaman wanted to see him.

Ren entered the Ancestral Witch Hall and learned that its residual divine sense could reveal real scenes from Pangu’s past to those with his bloodline. Inside the hall, he saw the Wu Clan’s cultivation grounds and the Twelve Ancestral Shaman Banners, then noticed Fiendish Qi gathering into a drop of blood essence.

• Ren approached the Ancestral Witch Hall and was overwhelmed by visions of Pangu creating the world and battling Demon Gods.
• Xuanming explained that the visions came from Pangu’s lingering divine sense and that the hall rejected outsiders, recounting how Hongjun and Luo Hou had been driven off.

• Ren sensed Fiendish Qi from the banners gathering and flowing into a drop of blood essence.

Xuanming explained the Demon Race’s former factions and revealed that Kunpeng had once surpassed Dijun and Taiyi in strength and prestige.

• Xuanming told Ren that the Ancestral Shaman Banners held Ancestral Shaman Essence Blood and might preserve the Ancestral Shamans’ wills, while Shebi Shi’s blood had been used to help Hanba become his successor.
• Ren suggested that the banners and essence blood might allow the Ancestral Shamans to be resurrected, and Xuanming said the possibility remained unknown.
• Xuanming explained that she had not pursued Dijun after sensing his aura because she preferred to let his enemies confront him first.
• Ren asked whether Kunpeng was one of Dijun’s enemies, and Xuanming described how Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng had led three rival Demon Race factions.
• Xuanming told Ren that Kunpeng had once been among the strongest figures in the Primordial World and had later gained greater status and prestige than Dijun and Taiyi among the northern Demon Race.

Xuanming told Ren how Kunpeng and the four great factions shaped the Primordial World, challenging the false histories preserved by the Saints. Ren learned that the Wu Clan possessed Yellow Plum, and Xingtian set out to retrieve it for the coming war against the Demon Race.

• Xuanming explained that Kunpeng had once been the strongest Demon Race figure, but a devastating injury kept him from becoming its emperor.
• Xuanming described how Dongwanggong, Kunpeng, Dijun and Taiyi, and the Wu Clan divided the Primordial World and built their power.
• Dongwanggong attacked the Wu Clan with the Myriad Immortals Formation, but the Twelve Ancestral Shamans drove him back with the Capital Heaven Divine Fiend Formation.
• Ren was shocked to learn that Dongwanggong had given Yellow Plum to the Wu Clan as an apology, and Xuanming said Houtu had been caring for it.
• After Ren explained Yellow Plum could strengthen their forces against the Demon Race, Xuanming sent Xingtian to retrieve it, and Ren urged him to bring companions and stay cautious.

Ren learned from Xuanming how Dongwanggong rose to power, fought a vast alliance, and was ultimately killed by Kunpeng, whose sacrifice left him badly wounded and cheated of the spoils. Kunpeng later failed to claim leadership of the Demon Race and was named only its Demon Master for creating its Script.

• Xuanming recounted how Dongwanggong defeated Kunpeng, then faced an alliance of Purple Cloud Guests that fought him for hundreds of thousands of years.

• Kunpeng killed Dongwanggong by triggering the destruction of Daluo Golden Immortals in the Myriad Immortals Formation, but the battle shattered Kunpeng's Dao Fruit and crippled his cultivation.
• While Kunpeng recovered, Dijun's alliance divided Dongwanggong's wealth, founded the Demon Race, and used its gathered Destiny to strengthen Dijun and Taiyi.
• Kunpeng returned and challenged Dijun for leadership, but Dijun defeated him and became Heavenly Emperor, while Kunpeng received the title of Demon Master for creating the Demon Race Script.

• Xuanming recounted how Kunpeng endured Dijun’s persecution, spread the Demon Race Script, and won support that helped the Wu Clan nearly destroy the Demon Race in their first full-scale war.
• Ren concluded that Kunpeng would likely confront Dijun and told Xuanming that war between the Wu Clan and Demon Race was inevitable.
• Ren proposed founding a Wu Clan dynasty in the Mortal World, and Xuanming agreed to choose someone to become its emperor.

• Xuanming explained that the Boundless Treasure Scripture came from a damaged Innate Demon God inheritance, and Ren showed her Nuwa’s completed version.
• Xuanming gave Ren permission to take the Wu Clan’s Spirit Treasures, and Ren planned to use them with the Heaven-Earth Cauldron to improve his combat strength.

Ren accepted Xuanming’s offer to refine his body in the Wu Clan’s Blood Pool, though his request to observe the Six Paths Reincarnation depended on Houtu’s approval. At the Blood Pool, he discovered Pangu carvings and other seized pools, and realized the missing Human Pool might have been hidden; Xuanming left to fetch Spirit Treasures as Ren began cultivating.

• Ren asked Xuanming to take him to the Underworld to meet Houtu and observe the Six Paths Reincarnation, and Xuanming said she would ask Houtu for permission.
• Xuanming invited Ren to refine his body in the Blood Pool and explained how it had once been used to create the Wu Clan.
• Ren saw carvings of Pangu’s past within the Blood Pool hall and recognized their value for Primordial Spirit cultivation.

• Ren suspected the Human Pool had been hidden or destroyed, and Xuanming warned him not to Devour the Wu Clan’s treasured pools.
• Xuanming left to retrieve Spirit Treasures, and Ren jumped into the Blood Pool and took out the Heaven-Earth Cauldron.

Ren cultivated in the Wu Clan’s Blood Pool, using Innate Spiritual Treasures and Zhurong Flame to temper his body, while Kunpeng emerged from seclusion and prepared the Far North demons to confront the resurrected Dijun. The chapter left Kunpeng’s forces poised to expand toward the Central Primordial World and settle their old grudge.

• Ren began refining the Wu Clan’s Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Heaven-Earth Cauldron and absorbed the pool’s blood energy to cultivate.
• Xuanming secretly added Zhurong Flame to the cauldron before leaving, and Ren sensed the new flame as his cultivation accelerated.
• Kunpeng emerged from seclusion at the Demon Master Palace and confirmed that Dijun had been resurrected.
• Qiongqi and another demon demanded revenge against Dijun for his treatment of Kunpeng and the lowborn demons during the Demon Court’s wars.
• Kunpeng ordered Qiongqi, Chaos, Taowu, and Chimei to establish a foothold near the Heart of the Primordial World and gather a great demon army before confronting Dijun.

Kunpeng planned to return the Demon Race to the Heart of the Primordial World by taking control of the weakened Immortal-Trapping Alliance and ordered Qiongqi and three others to lead the effort. After the Demon Race began preparing, Feilian and Duan De escaped from the Demon Master Palace with the secrets they had overheard.

• Qiongqi, Chaos, Chimei, and the other Demon Race fighters voiced their hatred of Dijun and the former Demon Court elite.
• Kunpeng explained that the Demon Race needed a careful plan to move from the Far North into the resource-rich Heart of the Primordial World.
• Kunpeng ordered Qiongqi and three companions to consolidate the Immortal-Trapping Alliance, keep a low profile, and avoid provoking Ren, the Demon Empress, and the Wu Clan.
• Qiongqi and the others accepted Kunpeng's orders, and Demon Race members began assembling forces and volunteering to join the expedition.
• Feilian and Duan De slipped away from the crowded Demon Master Palace, hid inside a pagoda in a glacier, and celebrated having overheard Kunpeng's plans and learned secrets about Dijun.

Duan De and Feilian discussed the Demon Court’s internal divisions and their plan to find an Innate Demon God’s tomb, while Duan De prepared to use the divination he learned from Kunpeng. Meanwhile, Kunpeng commanded his assembled army to march against the Demon Master Palace.

• Feilian explained that Dijun had once shared power with many Demon Emperors and gradually gained control by letting the Wu Clan kill his rivals.
• Duan De realized that Ren’s records had misled him, then boasted that he had learned most of Kunpeng’s divination art by observing the Hetu Luoshu Diagram.

• Duan De entered seclusion to study Kunpeng’s divination art and find the tomb’s location.
• Kunpeng gathered the demons of the Far North into an army and ordered them to march against the Demon Master Palace.
