He then refined the stellar powers into his body, causing the Celestial Cycle Stars to shine and revolve, while the Saints realized someone had mastered a supreme star-influencing ability.

• Lin Tian traced his new comprehension of the three thousand laws to the purple Thunder that had purified his primordial spirit while refining Pan Gu's Heartblood.

• Taishang briefly considered withdrawing to the Eight Sceneries Palace, while Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti realized they had no way to avoid their conflict with Lin Tian.
• The four Saints abandoned their confident plans to divide the spoils as the radiance from Golden Turtle Island filled them with alarm.
• Hongjun weighed whether to confront Lin Tian himself and chose instead to send an avatar to urge the four Saints to attack.
• Hongjun gave Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti four Creation Jade Disc fragments and warned them to act carefully.
• The four Saints merged the fragments into their power of laws, and each of their auras grew stronger.

Yuanshi and the other Saints gained a cultivation layer by merging fragments of the Creation Jade Disc and headed toward Golden Turtle Island. There, Lin Tian’s Chaos Green Lotus Dao Embryo became a Chaos Spirit Treasure, and he planted a Chaos Green Lotus Seed inside it as the four Saints cautiously approached.

• Yuanshi, Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti each advanced one cultivation layer after merging with fragments of the Creation Jade Disc.
• The four Saints set out for Golden Turtle Island but slowed down to probe the island’s mysterious radiance with their divine sense.
• Lin Tian watched the Chaos Green Lotus Dao Embryo form its fiftieth restriction as a force that seemed ready to destroy it gathered and then vanished.
• The Chaos Green Lotus Dao Embryo advanced into a Chaos Spirit Treasure, and Lin Tian realized that its incomplete state explained why it had not become a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
• Lin Tian placed his Chaos Green Lotus Seed into the heart of the Dao Embryo, causing both to flare with intensified light as the four Saints slowed their approach further.

Lin Tian fused the Chaos Green Lotus seed with the Dao Embryo and upgraded the Four Zhuxian Swords, while comprehending the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Formation. The swords became Chaos Spirit Treasures, and the chapter left Lin Tian holding the first condensed Dutian Baleful God Banner as he considered that the other eleven had yet to form.

• Lin Tian reviewed his completed preparations and turned his attention to the killing intent condensing into Dutian Baleful God Banners.
• Lin Tian summoned the first completed Dutian Baleful God Banner and noted that only one had condensed so far.

• Lin Tian reviewed the increased power of the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation, the Celestial Star Dou Formation, and the Myriad Immortals Formation while continuing to condense the Twelve-All-Heaven Baleful God Great Banners.
• Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti arrived at Golden Turtle Island after failing to divine the nature and strength of Lin Tian's new treasures.
• The four Saints surrounded the island and sealed it with their auras, alarming creatures across the Primordial World, who feared for Lin Tian and the Spirit Vine Sect.
• Yuanshi trusted that Hongjun's support and the Saints' improved cultivation would ensure their victory, while Lin Tian looked forward to testing his four killing formations against them.
• Zhunti demanded that Lin Tian open Golden Turtle Island, and Yuanshi followed by ordering him to surrender and promising not to suppress him on the spot.

Taishang tried to pressure Lin Tian into surrendering by claiming he was protecting the Spirit Vine Sect disciples, while secretly aiming to divide Lin Tian from his followers and damage his reputation. Lin Tian rejected the Saints’ pressure with a furious curse, leaving Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti stunned and enraged.

• Yuanshi pretended he would spare Lin Tian if he surrendered, hoping to repair the Chan Sect’s reputation despite planning to kill Lin Tian later.
• Taishang urged Lin Tian to surrender for his disciples’ sake, using an open scheme to make the Spirit Vine Sect and the wider world doubt Lin Tian if he refused.

• Lin Tian cursed Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti from within Golden Turtle Island, stunning all four Saints.
• Yuanshi rebuked Lin Tian for being vulgar, but Lin Tian cursed the Saints again, leaving their faces flushed with anger.

Lin Tian was about to fight the four Saints when the Spirit Vine True Self warned him that Hongjun might be waiting to suppress him. He chose to remain in seclusion, leaving Zhunti furious and answering his challenge with a mocking dismissal.

• Lin Tian withdrew his sword intent and remained in seclusion, causing Zhunti’s prepared power to go unused.
• Zhunti challenged Lin Tian to fight him one-on-one, and Lin Tian mocked him from inside Golden Turtle Island.

Lin Tian mocked the four Saints as they attacked Golden Turtle Island, then used the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation to block their blows. As stellar power gathered over the island, the Saints faced another layer of Lin Tian’s defenses.

• Zhunti attacked Golden Turtle Island with a golden bow and silver arrow, then struck with the Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle, while Jieyin, Yuanshi, and Taishang unleashed their own divine abilities.
• Lin Tian taunted Zhunti for bringing the other three Saints to attack alongside him, enraging all four.
• The Innate Five Elements Grand Formation activated and used the five elements’ power to block the Saints’ attacks and conceal Lin Tian’s karma from Jieyin’s Six-Sense-Purifying Bamboo.
• The four Saints recognized the Five-Direction Five-Element Flags as the foundation of the formation and grew furious that Lin Tian had used treasures taken from them.
• Stars appeared in the daytime sky above Golden Turtle Island, and stellar power began gathering over the island.

Lin Tian concealed Golden Turtle Island behind the Celestial Star Dou Formation and reinforced its defenses with the Four Zhuxian Swords and a lotus pedestal, both now revealed as Chaos Spirit Treasures. Hongjun and the four Saints were stunned and consumed by envy as they wondered how Lin Tian had obtained or transformed such treasures, while Hongjun hoped the Saints would defeat him and claim the lotus pedestal.

• Lin Tian concealed Golden Turtle Island beneath the Celestial Star Dou Formation and set the Four Zhuxian Swords and a powerful lotus pedestal to guard it.
• Hongjun recognized that the lotus pedestal and the Four Zhuxian Swords had reached the rank of Chaos Spirit Treasures, leaving him envious of Lin Tian.
• Hongjun recalled giving the Good Fortune Jade Disc Fragments to Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti to strengthen them, and hoped they would defeat Lin Tian.
• Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti recovered from their shock at Lin Tian's defenses and coveted his Chaos Spirit Treasures.
• Taishang wondered how Lin Tian had transformed the Four Zhuxian Swords so quickly and whether he could learn the method.

Yuanshi, Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti tried to deceive Lin Tian into handing over his treasures by promising to stop opposing him. Lin Tian saw through their scheme and angrily mocked the four Saints, leaving them humiliated.

• Yuanshi offered to stop attacking Golden Turtle Island in exchange for a treasure, then told the other Saints he was only trying to trick Lin Tian.
• Taishang demanded Lin Tian's lotus pedestal and swore he would never again oppose Lin Tian or the Spirit Vine Sect if he received it.
• Jieyin questioned Taishang's promise, but Taishang explained that his oath carried no penalty if he broke it.
• Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti adopted Taishang's tactic and offered to swear they would stop opposing Lin Tian in exchange for his treasures.
• Lin Tian refused to fall for their deception and insulted the four Saints for trying to swindle him.

Taishang and the other three Saints attacked Golden Turtle Island after Lin Tian provoked them, but Lin Tian remained unmoved behind his grand formation. The four Saints' assault continued as beings across the Primordial World watched to see whether Lin Tian could stand alone against them.

• Taishang unleashed an enormous Taiji Diagram against Golden Turtle Island's grand formation and secretly tried to use the power of laws to destroy its central mechanism.
• Taishang grew furious when Lin Tian showed no reaction and increased the power of his attack by thirty percent.
• Lin Tian mocked Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, challenging them to break into Golden Turtle Island or leave.
• Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti joined Taishang's assault with Pangu Banner and Vajra Pestles, but they met the same lack of apparent effect.
• Beings across the Primordial World reinforced their spiritual defenses and watched the four Saints besiege Lin Tian, whose supreme treasures had left them too wary to covet them.

Lin Tian’s formations withstood the four Saints’ attacks, and he chose to seal them rather than risk confronting Hongjun. He then planned to let Spirit Vine Sect disciples venture into the Primordial World once the Saints were contained, and began adjusting his plan to ensure none escaped.

• Taishang, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Yuanshi attacked Golden Turtle Island, but its formations remained completely untouched.
• Lin Tian concluded that the four Saints posed no threat to his defenses while they raged and challenged him from outside.
• The system offered Lin Tian a choice between fighting the Saints for law origins or sealing them and continuing his secluded cultivation; he chose to seal them.
• Lin Tian considered sending Spirit Vine Sect disciples into the Primordial World after sealing all four Saints, reasoning that Hongjun was unlikely to attack them.
• Lin Tian devised a modification to ensure every Saint was sealed, then spoke to the four Saints outside the formations.

Lin Tian appeared to agree to let the Spirit Vine Sect participate in the Investiture of the Gods in exchange for the four Saints leaving Golden Turtle Island alone. As he began to withdraw his formations, their violent fluctuations hinted that his apparent surrender was not what it seemed.

• Lin Tian asked whether the four Saints would stop bothering him if the Investiture of the Gods was completed, then repeated that he would agree to it.
• Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti each promised not to disturb Lin Tian without cause if the Spirit Vine Sect's disciples entered the Investiture of the Gods.
• Hongjun watched the exchange from the Purple Heaven Palace and felt relieved.
• Lin Tian agreed to withdraw the formations, delighting the four Saints and confusing observers across heaven and earth.
• The formations' fluctuations grew violently instead of fading, making the four Saints realize something was wrong.

Lin Tian trapped Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti inside three grand formations after the Four Zhuxian Swords failed to break their defenses. He revealed that his version of the Investiture of the Gods meant sending the Spirit Vine Sect against the Four Saints’ disciples, then summoned his sect to begin.

• Lin Tian’s Four Zhuxian Swords struck the Four Saints, shaking their defenses, before he swept them into the Executioner Immortal Sword Formation, the Celestial Star Dou Formation, and the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation.
• The Four Saints attacked the formations but could not damage them, and they stopped resisting.
• Lin Tian appeared as a wisp of divine sense and told the Four Saints that he would carry out the Investiture of the Gods with his Spirit Vine Sect disciples.
• Lin Tian ordered the Spirit Vine Sect disciples to appear, and Duobao, Wudang, Kong Rong, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others gathered before him.

Lin Tian ordered the Spirit Vine Sect’s Ten Thousand Immortals to put the four Saints’ disciples on the Investiture of the Gods List, targeting their sects while the Saints remained trapped. Hongjun considered killing Lin Tian but decided to wait, believing the Spirit Vine Sect’s disciples would eventually become entangled in the calamity.

• The Spirit Vine Sect’s Ten Thousand Immortals unanimously told Lin Tian they understood the Saints’ words, while Hongjun watched and reconsidered whether to attack Lin Tian.
• Hongjun decided not to act against Lin Tian, reasoning that Lin Tian’s disciples had entered the calamity and would face future consequences regardless of how this one ended.
• Lin Tian ordered the Spirit Vine Sect’s Ten Thousand Immortals to send the Saints’ disciples onto the Investiture of the Gods List.
• The Ten Thousand Immortals accepted Lin Tian’s command, and the four Saints realized the Spirit Vine Sect could attack the Chan Sect, the Western Buddhist Sect, and possibly the Human Teaching.
• Jieyin, Zhunti, Taishang, and Yuanshi threatened Lin Tian, warning that they would destroy the Spirit Vine Sect if their disciples suffered heavy casualties.

Lin Tian trapped the four Saints and sent the Spirit Vine Sect’s ten thousand immortals to attack Chaoge City while he began cultivating the Space Law. The Saints remained imprisoned as Lin Tian concealed the full extent of his power from Hongjun.

• Lin Tian told the four Saints he could keep them trapped for a hundred years while his ten thousand immortals attacked their Dao Lineages.
• The four Saints and the observing immortals realized the Spirit Vine Sect could overwhelm the three teachings, leaving the Saints furious and alarmed.
• Lin Tian received a system reward for trapping the four Saints, then sent the Spirit Vine Sect’s ten thousand immortals from Golden Turtle Island to Chaoge City.
