Chapter Summaries

Hongjun searched for the source of powerful demonic qi while Ji Fa received Lu Feng’s legacy and was appointed a Jie Sect Disciple. Ji Fa awoke with Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation and a mission to find a fisherman on the Wei River and bring him to the eastern side of Golden Ao Island.

• Lu Feng told Ji Fa to find the fisherman on the banks of the Wei River and bring him to the eastern side of Golden Ao Island.
• Ji Fa awoke and showed Ji Chang his power, then told him that the immortal belonged to the Interception Sect.

Ji Fa found Jiang Shang at the Wei River and accepted him as his disciple, while Hongjun revealed the Heavenly Secrets identifying Jiang Shang as the man chosen by destiny. Yuanshi rushed to intercept him, but arrived at Golden Ao Island, where Lu Feng and Tongtian had been waiting to lure him into their trap.

• Ji Chang eagerly accompanied Ji Fa to the Wei River after learning that Lu Feng had sent his son to find a fisherman.
• Ji Fa met Jiang Shang, offered to teach him cultivation, and accepted him as a disciple of the Interception Sect.
• Hongjun lifted his veil over the Heavenly Secrets and learned that Jiang Shang had already made contact with Xiqi.
• The Four Saints learned that Jiang Shang was heading toward the Interception Sect and feared losing the Investiture of the Gods List and God-Beating Whip.
• Yuanshi hurried to seize Jiang Shang but descended on the eastern side of Golden Ao Island, where Lu Feng and Tongtian awaited him.

Ji Fa brought Jiang Shang to Golden Ao Island, where Lu Feng welcomed them as members of the Jie Sect. Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi arrived alone to reclaim Jiang Shang, and Lu Feng and Tongtian prepared to answer him with a deliberately absurd challenge.

• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi rushed toward Golden Ao Island, while Jieyin persuaded Zhunti to let him face the danger alone and Taishang stayed behind.
• Ji Fa brought Jiang Shang to the Interception Sect, and Lu Feng welcomed Jiang Shang as a Jie Sect Disciple.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi's Saintly might descended, and Lu Feng drew Ji Fa and Jiang Shang to safety with a formation.
• Lu Feng told Ji Fa to wait while he went to slay a Saint, leaving Jiang Shang stunned by the claim.
• Lu Feng explained to Tongtian that Jieyin and Zhunti were unlikely to join the fight, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi arrived alone to demand Jiang Shang.
• Tongtian asked Lu Feng to deal with Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, but Lu Feng suggested they choose a random disciple to fight him instead.

Lu Feng and Tongtian trapped Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi in the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation after Lu Feng's sneeze shattered Yuanshi's attack. Yuanshi struggled against the completed formation, which severed one of his arms.

• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi attacked Lu Feng with three streaks of azure light, but Lu Feng's sneeze shattered them and left Tongtian and Yuanshi stunned.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi realized Lu Feng had deceived him with the formations and charged again as Lu Feng and Tongtian activated their traps.
• Tongtian revealed the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi used the Pangu Banner to break through one of Lu Feng's five Restraining Formations.
• Tongtian brought out the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram and completed the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation around Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.
• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi defended himself with the Pangu Banner, but a sudden sword-energy strike hit him and severed one of his arms.

Taishang, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa chose not to interfere as Tongtian’s Immortal Slaying Sword Formation fought Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi. The formation severed Yuanshi’s arm, while Lu Feng’s repeated praise left Tongtian frustrated.

• Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti agreed to stay out of Tongtian and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi’s battle, though they prepared to act if Nuwa intervened.
• Nuwa decided not to interfere, hoping her restraint would keep the other Saints in check.
• Inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, its sword qi overwhelmed Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi despite the Pangu Banner and severed his arm.
• Ji Fa and his companion marvelled at the formation’s power as Lu Feng repeatedly called it impressive.
• Tongtian grew irritated when Lu Feng failed to notice his hints and praised the formation instead of flattering his master.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi tried to break free from Tongtian's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, sacrificing treasures to withstand its attacks and battering the formation with the Pangu Banner. Lu Feng struck Yuanshi with the Jade Void Palace plaque and grabbed the Pangu Banner.

• Yuanshi realized the other three saints had abandoned him and brought out defensive treasures to endure the sword formation's attacks.
• Yuanshi used the Pangu Banner to strike the formation's edge while Tongtian reinforced the formation, destroying the Taiji Talisman Seal and Qiankun Fan.
• Yuanshi summoned the Monster-Suppressing Pagoda and poured his blood essence into empowering the Pangu Banner as he and Tongtian fought on.
• Lu Feng used the formation to appear behind Yuanshi and brought the Jade Void Palace plaque down on his head.
• Yuanshi's grip on the Pangu Banner loosened, and Lu Feng seized it.

Lu Feng struck Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi with the Jade Void Palace signboard and stole the Pangu Banner, leaving Yuanshi in danger inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. As Yuanshi’s Monster-Suppressing Pagoda shattered, Taishang, Jieyin, and the third Saint set out to intervene.

• Lu Feng clubbed Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi with the Jade Void Palace signboard, stole the Pangu Banner, and severed Yuanshi’s connection to it.
• Lu Feng returned to Tongtian, offered him the damaged Taiji Talisman Seal and Qiankun Fan, and sat on the Jade Void Palace signboard while recovering his strength.
• Ji Fa and Jiang Shang watched Lu Feng’s daring theft and praised his boldness.
• The Monster-Suppressing Pagoda shattered, leaving Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi in greater danger inside the formation.
• Jieyin warned Taishang that Yuanshi was in danger, and Taishang agreed that they should act.
• Taishang, Jieyin, and the third Saint transformed into streaks of light and departed.

Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti came to Golden Ao Island to demand Yuanshi’s release, but Lu Feng mocked them and rejected their offer. When Zhunti threatened to slaughter the Jie Sect disciples, Lu Feng activated dozens of formations around the island and challenged the Saints to get inside.

• Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti arrived with their treasures as Tongtian withdrew the formation around Lu Feng and Yuanshi.
• Lu Feng taunted the three Saints, while Tongtian, Ji Fa, Jiang Shang, and the disciples watched and reacted to his boldness.
• Tongtian refused to release Yuanshi, and Nuwa arrived to stand beside Golden Ao Island, making a fight less likely.
• Taishang offered the Investiture of the Gods List and the God-Beating Whip in exchange for Yuanshi, but Lu Feng pointed out that the treasures could be taken by killing him.
• Zhunti threatened to slaughter the Jie Sect disciples, so Lu Feng activated dozens of formations around Golden Ao Island and dared the Saints to enter.

Lu Feng’s formations sealed Golden Ao Island, where the Tiger Monster taunted Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti while Lu Feng and Tongtian traded jokes. Taishang attacked the fused formation twice without breaking it, and Jieyin and Zhunti prepared to attack alongside him.

• Lu Feng surrounded Golden Ao Island with forty-nine formations, while the Tiger Monster called the Saints human pets and provoked them.
• The Tiger Monster insulted Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, making all three Saints furious.
• Tongtian questioned whether the others were safe, and Lu Feng’s relaxed banter showed he trusted the formations to protect them.
• Taishang charged Golden Ao Island with the Taiji Diagram and struck the formations, but his full-strength attack caused only ripples.
• The Tiger Monster mocked Taishang, whose second attack also failed to break through the fused formation.
• Jieyin and Zhunti discussed attacking the Tiger Monster, then agreed to deliver him to the next life together.

Lu Feng used Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi’s imprisonment to argue that Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti had no intention of rescuing him, while their attacks on Tongtian’s formation served as a show for Hongjun. Just as Lu Feng urged Tongtian to strengthen the formation, Hongjun arrived.

• Jieyin and Zhunti struck Tongtian’s formation but failed to damage it, and the Tiger Monster insulted them for being too shiny.
• Lu Feng had Tongtian weaken the formation, then taunted Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi about his destroyed treasures and threatened to feed his bones to Big Black.
• Lu Feng told Yuanshi that Taishang, Jieyin, and Zhunti had abandoned him and were only attacking the formation to appear helpful to Hongjun.
• Yuanshi realized the three Saints were avoiding a dangerous rescue and did not want to trade away their treasures for him.
• Lu Feng called for Tongtian to put more force into the formation, and Hongjun arrived in a purple robe.

Hongjun arrived as Tongtian’s disciples held Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, and Lu Feng negotiated over Yuanshi’s release and the divine treasures. Lu Feng proposed returning the person chosen by destiny to the Four Saints while demanding compensation, leaving them furious at the prospect of hosting a Jie Sect spy.

• Tongtian strengthened the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation at Lu Feng’s request, but Hongjun appeared before the formation could overwhelm Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi.
• The Four Saints bowed to Hongjun, who acknowledged Lu Feng despite his casual greeting and ordered Tongtian to release Yuanshi.
• Lu Feng demanded compensation for their losses, claiming Yuanshi’s destroyed treasures as his own, and refused Hongjun’s offer of the Investiture of the Gods List and the God-Beating Whip.
• Jieyin and Zhunti criticized Lu Feng, so Tongtian threatened them with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and defended his disciple.
• Lu Feng proposed returning the person chosen by destiny in exchange for compensation, and the Four Saints realized this would leave a Jie Sect disciple with the treasures and under their protection.

Lu Feng received compensation from the Four Saints, then used the Chaos Bead to break through to the Saint realm while the Three Teachings disciples emerged from seclusion with greatly increased cultivation. He appeared at Biyou Palace as a Saint, shocking Tongtian.

• Hongjun ruled that the Four Saints had to compensate Lu Feng, and they handed over five Innate Spiritual Treasures, including two from Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi because of a Chan Sect disciple's IOU.
• After Hongjun warned that the Three Teachings disciples would soon emerge from seclusion, the Four Saints left, and Tongtian counted the treasures they had gained.
• The system rewarded Lu Feng with a Saint-realm breakthrough, mastery of sage Dao laws, a Pangu Secret Realm Key, a Jade Disc of Creation Fragment, and the Chaos Bead.
• Lu Feng entered the Chaos Bead and transformed eleven Dao principles into sage Dao laws, breaking through to the peak of the Saint realm's third stage.
• Randeng, Guangchengzi, and the other Three Teachings disciples emerged from seclusion at Kunlun Mountain with greatly improved cultivation, while Duobao, Yunxiao, and Qiu Shou Xian returned to Biyou Palace at the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm.
• Lu Feng appeared at Biyou Palace as a Saint, and Tongtian was shocked that the Jie Sect had gained another Saint.

The Three Teachings gathered on Kunlun Mountain and set out to destroy the Interception Sect, beginning the Investiture of the Gods war. As their forces headed for Golden Ao Island, Hongjun searched for the mysterious power behind the Interception Sect, while Zhen Yuanzi, Houtu, and Haotian reacted to the coming battle.

• Countless disciples of the Three Teachings left Kunlun Mountain and flew toward Golden Ao Island.

• Zhen Yuanzi divined that the Investiture of the Gods war was about to begin and learned that the Chan Sect's Golden Immortals were heading to Golden Ao Island.
• Houtu saw the Chan Sect and Western Teachings forces on their way to Golden Ao Island, then decided to go there despite the danger.
• Haotian looked forward to the listed immortals becoming subjects of the Heavenly Court after the Investiture of the Gods.

Lu Feng revealed that he had become a third-stage Saint and gave Tongtian two keys to the Pangu Secret Realm. As the Chan Sect's Golden Immortals arrived to challenge the Interception Sect, Lu Feng assured Tongtian he would handle things and sent him off to cultivate.

The Three Teachings gathered outside Golden Ao Island to challenge the Interception Sect, while Lu Feng arranged a covert mission for four disciples and sent Nezha to face Daoist Taiyi. As the first duel began, Lu Feng predicted Nezha would win in one move.

• Daoist Taiyi called on the Interception Sect to surrender to Heaven's will, and Lu Feng's disciples prepared to fight.
• Lu Feng gave protective items and a teleportation formation to the demolition quartet, ordering them to dig up the new Jade Void Palace.
• Lu Feng sent Nezha out to fight Daoist Taiyi, citing their old grudge and Nezha's need to settle it.
• Daoist Taiyi accepted the duel, while the Chan Sect disciples denounced Nezha as a traitor.
• The Interception Sect disciples debated how many moves Nezha would need, and Lu Feng predicted one.

Nezha killed his former master Daoist Taiyi in one strike, and Jiang Shang placed Taiyi’s true spirit on the Investiture of the Gods List. Medicine Buddha then challenged Nezha for the Western Teachings, but Nezha killed him with another fire-dragon attack.

• Nezha summoned his Fire-Tipped Spear and Wind Fire Wheels and defeated Daoist Taiyi with a single strike.
• Jiang Shang used the God-Beating Whip to subdue Daoist Taiyi’s true spirit and drew it into the Investiture of the Gods List.

• Medicine Buddha attacked Nezha with blazing Buddha light, but Nezha answered with a fire dragon that swallowed and killed him.

• Daoist Randeng chose Chijingzi, while Lu Feng sent Qiu Shou Xian to take Nezha's place.
• Qiu Shou Xian challenged Chijingzi and the Chan Sect disciples to attack him together, and Chijingzi vowed to slay him and send him onto the list.

Qiu Shou Xian killed Chijingzi, Daoist Cihang, and True Person Huang Long, while Jiang Shang gathered their true spirits into the Investiture of the Gods List. When Xuandu confronted Qiu Shou Xian as the Human Sect’s challenger, Zhao Gongming intervened and struck him for insulting Lu Feng.

• Chijingzi attacked Qiu Shou Xian, who defeated him, pierced his head with an Innate Spiritual Treasure longsword, and sent his true spirit into the Investiture of the Gods List.

• Jieyin and Zhunti urged Taishang to send the Human Sect into battle, and Taishang ordered Xuandu to fight while warning him to retreat if the situation turned dangerous.
• Lu Feng sent Zhao Gongming to bring Qiu Shou Xian back, but Xuandu blocked Qiu Shou Xian’s retreat and insulted Lu Feng.
• Zhao Gongming struck Xuandu and declared that anyone who insulted Senior Brother would die as his demonic aura surged.

Hongjun, Haotian, Zhen Yuanzi, and Houtu reacted to the Interception Sect’s overwhelming victory in the Investiture of the Gods, which they attributed to its mysterious Senior Brother, Lu Feng. Houtu remained ready to help the sect and wondered whether Lu Feng could be a Saint.

• Hongjun was astonished that the Chan Sect and Western Teachings had suffered heavily while no Interception Sect disciples had entered the Investiture of the Gods List, and he could not divine Lu Feng’s origins.
• Haotian watched the battle’s outcome and worried that the Interception Sect had become too powerful for him to govern the Three Realms without its support.

• Houtu wondered how powerful Lu Feng was and whether he might also be a Saint.

Zhao Gongming killed Xuandu, and Jiang Shang drew Xuandu’s true spirit into the Investiture of the Gods List despite Taishang’s attempt to intervene.
