Chapter Summaries

Xiao Hua secured the Great Sages’ support for Xiao Bai to claim the West Sea Dragon King’s seat, while Bei Xian'er agreed to help and asked that Bibo become queen. Xiao Hua then confronted the three Demon Kings he had captured, and they began choosing whether to submit to him or appeal to Bei Xian'er.

• Xiao Hua demanded that the Great Sages support Xiao Bai if he sought to become Lord of the West Sea, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng and Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast agreed.
• Bei Xian'er offered to help Xiao Bai claim the West Sea throne and asked that Bibo become its queen; Xiao Bai accepted her as Ancestor while insisting he first spend time with Xiao Hua.
• Xiao Hua judged that Xiao Bai's claim had gained strong backing from Bei Xian'er, the Great Sages, and his own status as Dragon Island Dragon Master.
• Xiao Hua released Biqing, Peng Jun, and Ni Quan before Bei Xian'er, and Ni Quan immediately admitted his greed and begged Xiao Hua for mercy.
• Peng Jun acknowledged his wrongdoing and asked Xiao Hua for punishment, while Biqing realized Bei Xian'er had lost power and began to kneel before Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua confronted the Demon Kings over Xiao Bai’s torture and demanded that Zheqiong Ridge pay for the insult. Bibo and Ni Quan offered their realms to save their lives, while Peng Jun revealed that a forged order bearing the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s mark had sent him to Biqingyu; Feng Wu then offered Peng Jun a face-saving way to surrender Zheqiong Ridge.

• Bibo begged Xiao Hua to spare Biqing and offered Biqingyu as atonement for her father’s crimes.
• Ni Quan offered Ancient Bell Mountain to Xiao Hua after realizing he might otherwise lose his life and territory.
• Xiao Hua told Peng Jun that Zheqiong Ridge had to pay, demanding either Peng Jun’s death or a severe punishment.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng denied ordering Peng Jun to interrogate Xiao Bai, and Peng Jun explained that he had followed a beast-hide message bearing the Great Sage’s mark.
• Xiao Hua suspected the Golden-Winged Great Peng might be feigning ignorance, while Feng Wu offered Peng Jun the chance to offer Zheqiong Ridge to him instead.

Xiao Hua spared Ni Quan, Biqing, and Peng Jun in exchange for their Demon Realms and ordered them to seek revenge against the monks on the Pure Land pilgrimage. After Feng Wu departed for the Great Sacred Hall and Bei Xian'er left with Biqingyu, Xiao Hua and Little White Dragon reconciled, and Xiao Hua offered him the West Sea Dragon Palace.

• Peng Jun, Ni Quan, and Biqing surrendered their Demon Realms, and Xiao Hua spared their lives while ordering them to confront the Pure Land pilgrims without harming Chunzang or the fire ape.
• Xiao Hua told the three Demon Kings that Biqing should avenge his brother by fighting the monks seeking scriptures, and warned them not to take anything from their Demon Realms.
• Wu and Wen Qu went to recall the Creation Sect disciples, while Feng Wu accepted the Great Sages' invitation to visit the Great Sacred Hall.
• Bei Xian'er gave Xiao Hua a ring of treasures, then left with Biqingyu after Little White Dragon chose to stay with Xiao Hua.
• Little White Dragon apologized for using Xiao Hua's name, and Xiao Hua embraced him and offered him the benefit of becoming Lord of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Xiao Hua received Li Jing’s remains and learned that she had wished to be reborn as a human, then used his Netherworld Primordial Force to preserve her soul and promised to fulfill that wish. As Little White Dragon and Bi Bo departed, Xiao Hua asked Wenqu Fellow Immortal to help secure the three demon realms with Teleportation Arrays.

• Bi Bo gave Xiao Hua the Qiankun Ring containing Li Jing’s remains and bloodstained clothes, and apologized for her past hostility toward Fairy Jing.
• Little White Dragon told Xiao Hua that Fairy Jing had wished to reincarnate as a human, and Xiao Hua preserved her fading soul in an Underworld Pearl.
• Xiao Hua told Little White Dragon that he could fulfill Fairy Jing’s wish now, and asked Bi Bo to keep his ability secret.
• Little White Dragon and Bi Bo left, while Xiao Hua discussed Little White Dragon’s sealed memories and advised him to seek help from the old ancestor.
• After his avatars returned to the space, Xiao Hua asked Wenqu Fellow Immortal to build Teleportation Arrays so the humans could hold the three captured demon realms.

Xiao Hua waited amid the ruins of Biqingyu, reflecting on the dead and planning to bury Fairy Jing’s remains. Xiaohei and Little Yellow reunited with him, and Little Yellow’s joyful reunion with Dai Er brought her a deep sense of safety.

• Wen Qu left to find a suitable place to build a Teleportation Array while Xiao Hua stayed behind to wait for the Creation Sect disciples.
• Xiao Hua considered how to bury Fairy Jing’s remains, but Biqingyu had been devastated and offered no suitable resting place.
• Xiao Hua brought Xiaohei and Little Yellow out of Shenhua Continent, and they told him how they had come to Biqingyu to rescue him.
• Little Yellow and Xiaohei realized that Little White Dragon, now called Xiao Bai, had been mistaken for Xiao Hua, and Little Yellow asked to cultivate in the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons.
• Xiao Hua brought Dai Er out of Shenhua Continent, and she joyfully embraced Little Yellow, whose warmth eased her distress.

Xiao Hua reunited with Dai Er, Yuan Ya, Little Yellow, and Xiaohei after Yuan Ya and the dragons returned from defeating an ambush. Seeing Ao Sheng’s loyalty and desire to grow stronger, Xiao Hua agreed to help him but required him to make a Dragon Oath first.

• Little Yellow questioned Dai Er about her travels and teased her about Yuan Ya before Yuan Ya arrived with Ao Sheng, Ao Zhan, and dozens of surrendered dragons.
• Xiao Hua learned that the dragons did not know who had ordered the attack, and he warned Ao Sheng that Ao Jia had used him as bait.
• Yuan Ya reunited quietly with Dai Er, while Little Yellow and Xiaohei mocked the pair and tried to suggest other suitors for Dai Er.
• Xiao Hua considered how the Dragon God Venerable’s legacy related to Ao Sheng and decided that Ao Sheng could not safely receive those possessions directly.
• Ao Sheng asked Xiao Hua for help becoming stronger, and Xiao Hua agreed on the condition that Ao Sheng first make a Dragon Oath.

Xiao Hua settled Ao Sheng’s cultivation and discussed Ao Zhan’s support in the Dragon Palace before welcoming the old friends who had come to rescue him. Zhai Xingzi asked Xiao Hua to help him propose marriage to Gu Suqiudi’s family, and Xiao Hua promised to arrange an extravagant delegation when they returned to Cangxian Continent.

• Xiao Hua decided not to demand a Dragon Oath from Ao Sheng and told the dragons to return to Dragon Island alongside the Creation Sect disciples after Ao Sheng began cultivating with him.

• Xiao Hua thanked the old friends for risking their lives to rescue him and promised to help them if they faced difficulties.
• Zhai Xingzi asked Xiao Hua to accompany him to the Gusu Family to propose marriage, and Xiao Hua offered to bring a Literary Star and many other powerful dignitaries.

Xiao Hua welcomed the Creation Sect army and learned that nearly half of its disciples had died on the way to Biqingyu or in battle, including Chang Yu, who sacrificed himself to save Lan Dianzi. Grieving and regretting his earlier delay, Xiao Hua learned that the Immortal Palace might target the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range, while Wang Zhengfei and You Zhongquan had already returned to defend it.

• Xiao Hua celebrated Zhai Xingzi's future marriage to Gu Suqiudi but was reminded of Fairy Jing and felt bitter.
• A two-hundred-thousand-strong Creation Sect army arrived, and Lan Dianzi and Xiong Yi begged Xiao Hua to punish them.
• Xiong Yi reported that nearly half the disciples under his command had died, and Lan Dianzi revealed that Chang Yu had died saving him.
• Xiao Hua grieved for the fallen disciples and regretted delaying his arrival at Biqingyu to uncover the hidden mastermind.
• Xiong Yi warned that the Immortal Palace might campaign against the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range, but Xiao Hua said Wang Zhengfei and You Zhongquan had returned to protect it.
• True Lord Qingxu explained that Ancestor Hongmeng had sent him and others to rescue Xiao Hua after abandoning his own plan to come.

Xiao Hua agreed to meet Ancestor Hongmeng and offered the rescued cultivators a place among the Creation Sect. After discussing Shui Mingzi’s betrayal with Ao Zhantian, Xiao Hua formally accepted Ao Zhantian as his disciple and entrusted him with more sect affairs.

• True Lord Qingxu learned that Xiao Hua had reached Mahayana and arranged for Ancestor Hongmeng to meet him after the group returned to Cangxian Continent.
• Xiao Hua escorted True Lord Qingxu, Fan Tian Shang Ren, and the other Daoist cultivators away from Biqingyu to help them avoid demon obstructions.
• Xu Tingzi and the others apologized to Xiao Hua, who forgave them, voided their old oaths, and offered to help them find masters among the Creation Sect disciples.
• Ao Zhantian told Xiao Hua that Shui Mingzi and four cultivators who planned to defect to Ancient Bell Mountain had been dealt with, while the hesitant cultivators were spared.
• Xiao Hua praised Ao Zhantian’s loyalty, accepted him as his disciple, and told him to handle more Creation Sect affairs with Xiong Yi and Lan Dianzi.

Xiao Hua welcomed Xu Tingzi into the Creation Sect and forged a life-and-death pact with Ying Bo and the Luoyi Merchant Alliance. Ying Bo also delivered a long-delayed message from Du Shanjun, pointing Xiao Hua toward the still-unopened Star Moon Palace.

• Ao Zhantian revealed that Xiao Hua had accepted Xu Tingzi as a disciple, and Xu Tingzi kowtowed to Xiao Hua before joining Ao Zhantian to handle Creation Sect affairs.
• Ying Bo warned Xiao Hua that the Immortal Palace might attack the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range, but Xiao Hua said his disciples had already returned to defend it.
• Ying Bo explained that he had led six thousand Luoyi Merchant Alliance clansmen to Biqingyu without expecting to return, and Xiao Hua agreed to bind the Creation Sect and the alliance in a pact of life and death.
• Ying Bo gave Xiao Hua a jade pupil and recalled that a mysterious Confucian cultivator had left it for him more than two hundred years earlier, calling it his final opportunity and Xiao his only hope.
• Xiao Hua recognized the sender as Du Shanjun and realized the message concerned their appointment at Star Moon Palace, which had still not opened.

Xiao Hua learned that the Star Moon Palace might appear soon and decided to honor his agreement with Du Shanjun by going there, while arranging for the Creation Sect disciples to return to the Cangxian Continent. He invited his Nascent Soul disciples and allies to join him, and Lan Dianzi saw the army’s return journey as a chance to gain military authority within the sect.

• Ying Bo told Xiao Hua that the Star Moon Palace might appear at the eastern edge of the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons within several months.
• Xiao Hua resolved to go to the Star Moon Palace to honor his agreement with Du Shanjun, trusting that Xin Xin might help protect the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range from an Immortal Palace expedition.
• Xiao Hua learned from Ying Bo that Nascent Soul Daoist cultivators could enter the Star Moon Palace, then summoned his disciples and allies to discuss the journey.
• Xiao Hua proposed that True Person Jingting and Xuan Songzi lead the Creation Sect disciples back to the Cangxian Continent, with Ying Bo serving as their military adviser.
• Lan Dianzi decided that commanding the returning army could secure him authority and standing in the Creation Sect, so he saw little reason to join Xiao Hua at the Star Moon Palace.

Xiao Hua organized Creation Sect’s forces, sending Lan Dianzi to lead the army back to the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range while taking Xiong Yi and other disciples toward Star Moon Palace. He proclaimed Creation Sect’s rise and appointed three demons to govern its newly acquired territories.

• Lan Dianzi volunteered to lead the army back to the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range, and Xiao Hua rewarded him with pills and a cultivation technique while ordering him to avenge Chang Yu.

• Xiao Hua appointed Black Bear, White Lion, and Golden Condor as Demon Kings to guard Biqingyu, Ancient Bell Mountain, and Zheqiong Ridge for Creation Sect.

After the Creation Sect conquered Biqingyu, Xiao Hua assigned its territories and sent the army toward Cangxian Continent, where he vowed to avenge Chang Yu. Xiong Yi then explained how the sect had grown in Xiao Hua’s absence and aided Cangxian Continent’s disaster victims.

• Black Bear refused to become a Demon King and proposed giving Biqingyu to Ying Bo’s clan, so Xiao Hua granted it to them.
• Xiao Hua made Zheqiong Ridge and Ancient Bell Mountain Creation Sect strongholds and ordered the army to march toward Cangxian Continent.

• Xiong Yi reported that the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range had recruited over 1.6 million disciples while distributing grain seeds to disaster victims.
• Xiong Yi described the sect’s large numbers of advanced disciples, and Xiao Hua praised the work he had done.

Xiao Hua gathered the surviving Creation Sect disciples and his allies into the Kunlun Immortal Realm before flying east through the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons.

• Xiao Hua sent the Black Bear Spirit to retrieve the remaining disciples from the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range and planned to bring them into Star Moon Palace.

• Feng Wu left Biqingyu with the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast, and the Five-Colored Sea God Conch, reflecting on the conch clans’ losses and Little White Dragon’s situation.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng challenged Feng Wu to a contest of strength and speed, and the two raced ahead while the other Great Sages followed.

Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast questioned Five-Colored Sea God Conch about Xiao Hua’s escape and the defeat of Ancestor, then suggested that a mysterious existence connected to the Kunlun Mirror may have intervened. Five-Colored Sea God Conch reacted to the mention of Zhen Qing, leaving Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast with evidence that the subject had struck a nerve.

• Five-Colored Sea God Conch and Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast discussed Phoenix Saint’s strength and the upheaval that might follow in the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons.
• Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast challenged Five-Colored Sea God Conch’s claim that a demon body was the foremost proof of cultivation, proposing instead that bloodline was paramount.
• Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast pressed Five-Colored Sea God Conch to explain how Xiao Hua escaped Ancestor’s barrier, but Five-Colored Sea God Conch said only Ancestor could know.
• Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast pointed out that many powerful cultivators had appeared and vanished around Ancestor’s defeat, leading Five-Colored Sea God Conch to consider whether the Kunlun Mirror concealed a stronger being.
• Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast cited an ancient record about Zhen Qing and a mysterious existence that erased an entire race, and he detected faint ripples in Five-Colored Sea God Conch’s surroundings.

The Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast told the Five-Colored Sea God Conch about the ancient demon beast Zhen Qing and argued that a powerful being hidden within the Kunlun Mirror was behind recent events. He then tried to persuade Saint Bei to ally with him, warning that Dragon Island was involved in a concealed plot.

• The Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast recounted how Zhen Qing and his lineage vanished after a mysterious being drained their essence blood.
• The Five-Colored Sea God Conch refused to reveal what the mysterious being had extracted from a Human Great Vehicle cultivator, and Saint Ni inferred that the being was hidden inside the Kunlun Mirror.
• The Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast suggested that the human cultivators, Seven-Star Phoenix Saint, and Wenqu were all subordinates or demon pets of that hidden being.
• The Five-Colored Sea God Conch said Ancestor had instructed him to follow her arrangements, and Saint Ni argued that she feared provoking the hidden being.
• Saint Bei said he had lost divine abilities and did not intend to contest supremacy, so Saint Ni urged him to choose between Dragon Island and the Great Sacred Hall.
• Saint Ni argued that Dragon Island must be involved in the secret plot behind the effort to suppress the Human Great Vehicle cultivator's incarnation.

Saint Ni persuaded Saint Bei that tensions between Dragon Island and the Great Sacred Hall could lead to conflict, while Feng Wu spoke with the Golden-Winged Great Peng after their flight contest. The Golden-Winged Great Peng blamed the Black Armored Five-Horned Dragon for secretly stirring up trouble and colluding with Dragon Island elders, but offered no evidence beyond his own assertion.

• Saint Ni explained to Saint Bei that Dragon Island's actions and the grievances of several Great Sages could pit Dragon Island against the Great Sacred Hall, and Saint Bei inferred that the flight contest had hidden motives.
• Feng Wu stopped flying before the day's limit, and the Golden-Winged Great Peng admitted that Feng Wu had nearly matched his speed and said he had broken through his bottleneck.
• Feng Wu encouraged the Golden-Winged Great Peng to trust Xiao Hua, while the Golden-Winged Great Peng alternated between seeking Xiao Hua's understanding and boasting that Xiao Hua could not keep him from escaping.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng told Feng Wu that a Demon Race member had used his authority to issue orders and accused the Black Armored Five-Horned Dragon of being behind the scheme.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng claimed the Black Armored Five-Horned Dragon was secretly colluding with Dragon Island elders, but insisted his own word was evidence.

Feng Wu questioned the Golden-Winged Great Peng about the forces behind the Biqingyu incident and learned how the Three Great Sages had come there. The Golden-Winged Great Peng revealed that Feng Wu could summon the Great Sacred Hall’s Reception Star Bridge, potentially bringing all the Demon Race Great Sages there.

• Feng Wu refused the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s proposal to involve himself in Great Sacred Hall affairs, while the Golden-Winged Great Peng argued that Great Sages could not escape its conflicts.
• Feng Wu suggested investigating the nearest lead and asked why the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Ni Saint, and Bei Saint had arrived at Biqingyu so quickly.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng explained that Feng Wu’s ascension had drawn the Six Great Sages to the Great Sacred Hall, where the Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast invited him and the Five-Colored Sea God Conch to Biqingyu.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng said they had traveled through a star-and-moon demon formation that connected the Great Sacred Hall to places across the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng realized Feng Wu could use the star patterns on his demon body to summon the Reception Star Bridge and receive the other Great Sages into the Great Sacred Hall.

Feng Wu and the Golden-Winged Great Peng discussed their alliance and the Seven Great Sages before Feng Wu opened the Reception Star Bridge to the Great Sacred Hall. The hall’s strange starry power drew Feng Wu into a cosmic transformation, and he emerged reunited and moved toward its gate.

• Feng Wu explained to the Golden-Winged Great Peng that True Person Xiao had helped him attain the Great Sage position and had stripped the Five-Colored Sea God Conch of its Sea God bloodline.
• The Golden-Winged Great Peng told Feng Wu about the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons while they waited for the Five-Colored Sea God Conch and the Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast.
• After the two Great Sages arrived, Feng Wu opened the seven-colored Reception Star Bridge, and the three Great Sages stepped onto it.
• Feng Wu’s claw activated the bridge, revealing the Great Sacred Hall and transporting him away from the other Great Sages into a strange starry space.
• A tiny point of light swallowed and shattered Feng Wu’s divided consciousness before the Great Sacred Hall reformed from stars and reunited his consciousness and demonic body.
• Feng Wu flew along a Star River toward the enormous gate of the Great Sacred Hall.

Feng Wu entered the Great Sacred Hall, where Heavenly Phoenix’s power transformed him from a Seven-Star Great Sage into a being linked to thirteen stars and the entire Star River. The chapter then shifted to the far north of the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons, where a Xue Di hunted Autumn Mice in the snow.

• Feng Wu passed through the star gate and appeared in the Great Sacred Hall as Heavenly Phoenix, meeting the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast, and the Five-Colored Sea God Conch.
• Heavenly Phoenix’s star pattern shattered seven stars and absorbed their stardust into the Big Dipper.
• Six more stars formed patterns on Heavenly Phoenix as the Southern Dipper Six Stars became phantoms, prompting the Golden-Winged Great Peng to realize a Seven-Star Great Sage was becoming a Thirteen-Star Great Sage.
• Pillars of starlight poured into Heavenly Phoenix, whose immense body enveloped the Great Sacred Hall as the hall transformed into a vast star of vortices connected to the Star River.
• In the far north, tens of thousands of Autumn Mice emerged from the snow to eat demon fruit.
• Xue Di attacked the Autumn Mice, killed one, and flew away while the others resumed their activity.
