Their discussion was interrupted when Hongjun became a Saint and announced that he would teach at the Zixiao Palace, prompting powerful beings across the Primordial World to set out to hear him.

At Zixiao Palace, Fuxi introduced Nuwa to Di Jun and Taiyi, but Nuwa rejected their overtures because she knew they would bring disaster to her and her brother. Fuxi remained determined to join them as Nuwa walked away, leaving their relationship strained.

• Ling Feng judged that Hongyun’s kindness had sown the seeds of his downfall and considered finding a way to obtain Hongyun’s Primordial Purple Qi.

Hongjun arrived at Zixiao Palace, gathered fortune from the Three Thousand Guests, and began expounding the Dao. His teachings helped Nuwa, Laozi, Tongtian, Yuanshi, and other cultivators break through, while Ling Feng recorded the exposition because his cultivation was too low to understand it fully.

• Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Hongyun, Di Jun, and Taiyi each claimed an innate gourd, while Ling Feng unearthed the nine heavens breath soil beneath the vine and took the withered vine.
• Nuwa realized she would create humans and become a Saint, then kissed Ling Feng before evading his attempt to kiss her back.
• Dijiang and the Twelve Ancestral Witches proclaimed the Witch Race, then expanded their territory and drove out or hunted nearby beings, many of whom belonged to the Demon Race.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng encountered Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming in Witch Race territory, and his resistance to Xuan Ming’s pressure triggered a breakthrough that astonished the Ancestral Witch.
