• Xiao Hua lowered his defenses, heard the beast's faint speech through ripples reaching his Niwan Palace, promised to repay it, and began examining the jade slip.

Xiao Hua comprehended a Buddhist secret technique that let him communicate with the sleeping Primordial Chaos Beast, Devouring Heaven, and learned that the beast was also called Jie Chi. He questioned Devouring Heaven about the Primordial Continent and was left recognizing that its inhabitants followed an order independent of humanity.

• Xiao Hua studied the Buddhist jade tablet while Devouring Heaven slept peacefully nearby.
• After many days of study, Xiao Hua used the secret technique to send a message into Devouring Heaven’s mind and woke it by promising good food.

Unable to sense his two avatars, Xiao Hua suspected they had fallen inside and used the Art of Earth Evasion to search beneath the sand.

• Swallowing Heaven claimed the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors had repeatedly robbed and beaten him, and named them Ink Jade Stupid Donkey, Golden Toad, Five-Colored Stupid Chicken, Black and White Stinky Turtle, and Little White Smelly Cat.

• Xiao Hua warned Swallowing Heaven not to deceive him, then flew into the golden wilderness while Swallowing Heaven turned back before changing direction and flying elsewhere.
• Xiao Hua searched the golden expanse with his divine sense but could not find Dragon Vein Xiao Hua or Phoenix Body Xiao Hua, so he suspected both avatars had fallen inside Chao Tian Que.
• Xiao Hua examined the ordinary-looking sand, then used the Art of Earth Evasion to sink beneath it.

While searching the golden desert for the entrance to Chao Tian Que, Xiao Hua was trapped by sand scorpions that grew stronger as he destroyed them. A colossal dragon formed from the desert’s strange fluctuations immobilized him, and Xiao Hua released the transformed Divine Strength Centipede as the dragon head descended.

• Xiao Hua searched the desert for Chao Tian Que but found no entrance before nightfall.

• The fluctuations gathered into a vast crystal-like dragon that suppressed Xiao Hua with its dragon might and began lowering its head toward him.
• Xiao Hua released the transformed Divine Strength Centipede from his space as the dragon head descended.

Xiao Hua and the Divine Strength Centipede crossed a restriction into a primordial wilderness beneath a mirror-like sky, where real beasts attacked them. After spotting a distant mountain reflected overhead, Xiao Hua directed the centipede toward the sky, but it could not reach the mirror surface.

• The Divine Strength Centipede overcame the dragon manifestation and carried Xiao Hua toward Chao Tian Que, where its dragon might broke through an invisible restriction.
• Xiao Hua found himself in a primordial wilderness beneath a mirror-like sky and discovered that his divine sense could not leave his body.
• The Divine Strength Centipede killed hundreds of attacking strange birds, then flew away from the fiery-marked beasts gathering below.
• Xiao Hua spotted a towering mountain and ordered the Divine Strength Centipede to fly upward toward the mirror surface, but it could not reach it.

Xiao Hua discovered that Chao Tian Que’s central mountain was a vast Buddhist pagoda resembling his Great Evolution Exquisite Pagoda, and he used the Baye Linglong Scripture to enter it. He arrived on the pagoda’s eighth level, leaving the surrounding beasts outside as Buddhist visions filled the interior.

• Xiao Hua realized that travelers in Chao Tian Que were drawn toward the same central mountain, which proved to be a gigantic Buddhist pagoda.
• The pagoda’s Buddhist clouds repeatedly suppressed Xiao Hua, so he descended to the ground and approached it on foot.
• Xiao Hua suspected the pagoda might be connected to Jiang Liuer’s previous life, then reconsidered and decided to enter rather than seek a relic.
• Xiao Hua chanted the Baye Linglong Scripture, causing Buddhist lotuses to form a path that carried him to the pagoda’s eighth level.
• Xiao Hua entered through a half-open door as savage beasts gathered outside, and his Buddhist sense revealed countless Buddhist scenes within the pagoda.

Xiao Hua confronted the Ten-Headed Lion King, guardian of the eighth floor of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, and endured its attacks inside its belly. After his lightning and Innate True Water overcame the beast’s defenses, Xiao Hua prepared to strike back with his Heaven and Earth Manifestation and Lingmou Zhu Fire.

• Xiao Hua spotted scarlet flashes in the Buddhist light, retreated, and was attacked by a series of lion heads.
• Xiao Hua recognized that the Nine-Headed Lion King was actually the Ten-Headed Lion King and broke its concealed tenth head’s tooth with the As-You-Wish Staff.

• The Ten-Headed Lion King admitted it had underestimated Xiao Hua, who unleashed his Heaven and Earth Manifestation and Lingmou Zhu Fire.

Xiao Hua defeated the Ten-Headed Lion King and questioned it about Chao Tian Que, the Primordial Chaos World, and his companions. He learned that Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua had reached the ninth level, then left the eighth level for the stairs leading up.

• Xiao Hua used Lingmou Zhu Fire and his golden body to overwhelm the Ten-Headed Lion King until it begged for mercy.
• Xiao Hua learned that two other True Person Xiaos had entered the ninth level and that the Ten-Headed Lion King knew of Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua.
• The Ten-Headed Lion King explained what it knew about Chao Tian Que, the tower’s guardians, and the powerful Primordial Chaos Beasts nearby.
• Xiao Hua recognized that Tuntian’s insulting names referred to the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors and learned that they had bullied Tuntian after it became vegetarian.
• The Ten-Headed Lion King said the beasts trapped in the pagoda would be able to leave when Chao Tian Que reopened after its Weapons were taken.
• Xiao Hua stepped onto the stairs to the ninth level and vanished in the Buddhist light.

Xiao Hua entered the ninth level of the Buddhist pagoda and faced a mosquito whose bite caused spreading decay while it devoured his attacks. He fled its multiplying swarm, unable to find a way to defeat it before the chapter ended.

• Xiao Hua found the ninth level empty except for a stone staircase, then a mosquito bit his foot and caused it to fester.
• The mosquito claimed it was ancient and demanded that Xiao Hua surrender, then swallowed his Lingmou Zhu Fire and tore away parts of his Buddhist sense.
• Xiao Hua tried Buddhist power, medicinal pills, and Innate True Water, but the decay continued and the mosquitoes devoured the water.
• A swarm of mosquitoes formed and chased Xiao Hua as lightning and the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors failed to stop them; the severed mosquitoes multiplied.
• Xiao Hua realized the mosquitoes devoured Dharma power and Primordial Qi, but he could not recall how Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua had defeated them.

Xiao Hua used the Water Pattern Butterfly and Dragon Cleansing Liquid to overcome the mosquito swarm and heal his poisoned foot, then learned what the mosquito knew about Chao Tian Que before ascending to the pagoda’s peak. There, he tested the mirror’s copying illusion and revealed that it could not reproduce his ten-thousand-zhang Dharma Body Golden Body.

• Xiao Hua released the Water Pattern Butterfly, which swept away the mosquito swarm and drew the insects away from him.
• Xiao Hua used Dragon Cleansing Liquid to erase the poison bubbles and restore his festering foot, realizing that his lack of worldly experience had kept him from recognizing his tools sooner.
• Xiao Hua spared the last mosquito after it described Chao Tian Que’s origins as a sea and shared another way to kill its kind.
• Xiao Hua ascended to the Buddhist pagoda’s peak, where he found a mirror that reflected an identical version of himself.
• Xiao Hua used the Dream Mirage Butterfly to make the reflected figure dance and sing, then manifested his Dharma Body Golden Body, which the mirror could not reproduce.

Xiao Hua broke through the mirror into a second inverted world and found Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua trapped and wounded by the Primordial Chaos Five Elders. After confronting the Ink Jade Kirin, he prepared to challenge the five beasts.

• Xiao Hua shattered the mirror with the As-You-Wish Staff, revealing a second inverted world beyond a barrier between the two spaces.

• Xiao Hua prepared to break the formation, but paused when a sphere revealed an Ink Jade Kirin whose appearance stirred a familiar feeling.
• The Ink Jade Kirin mocked Xiao Hua and threatened him, so Xiao Hua declared that he had come to avenge his two fellow Daoists.
• The Ink Jade Kirin laughed and boasted that the Primordial Chaos Five Elders attacked together regardless of how many opponents they faced.

Xiao Hua summoned more than a hundred eighth-grade Scattered Infants to overwhelm the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors and avenge Dragon Vein Xiao Hua and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua. As the Five Juniors prepared to shield one another from another assault, Dragon Vein Xiao Hua persuaded Xiao Hua to stop before killing them.

• The Ink Jade Kirin spread the Five Juniors' formation toward Xiao Hua, but Xiao Hua evaded it and mocked them.
• Xiao Hua summoned over a hundred Lightning-Armed Scattered Infants and ordered them to attack the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors.
• The Scattered Infants shattered the Five Juniors' formation and badly wounded the Ink Jade Kirin, Golden Toad, Five-Colored Phoenix, and Xuantian White Tiger, while the Black and White Xuanwu fared better.
• The Black and White Xuanwu moved to shield the others, and the Ink Jade Kirin and the rest rushed to stand in front of it as another wave of weapons approached.
• Dragon Vein Xiao Hua asked Xiao Hua to spare the Five Juniors, explaining that they had shown restraint and that their willingness to protect one another reminded him of Phoenix Body Xiao Hua protecting him.

Xiao Hua spared the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors after Dragon Vein Xiao Hua urged him to show mercy, but made Ink Jade Kirin his mount and took a copper-coin fragment from Golden Toad. After tending to his injured avatars, Xiao Hua heard Dragon Vein Xiao Hua begin to reveal what he and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua had obtained at Chao Tian Que.

• Dragon Vein Xiao Hua persuaded Xiao Hua to spare the Primordial Chaos Five Juniors, and Xiao Hua halted his attack and asked them if they wished to live.
• Ink Jade Kirin refused to yield, so Xiao Hua's Scattered Infants wounded it before Xiao Hua knocked it unconscious with his divine sense and claimed it as his mount.
• Golden Toad paid Xiao Hua a copper-coin fragment, and Xiao Hua gave it four Rejuvenation Pills, which Golden Toad shared with Xuantian White Tiger, Black and White Xuanwu, and Five-Colored Phoenix.

• Dragon Vein Xiao Hua asked Xiao Hua whether he knew what he and Phoenix Body Xiao Hua had obtained at Chao Tian Que.

• Xiao Hua regained control of himself and realized the purple qi had brought his cultivation close to tribulation while advancing his understanding of the Heavenly Dao.
• Xiao Hua discovered that the Wenqu Star and auspicious signs marked the Saints Anoint Wenqu, with Confucian cultivator Xiao Hua as its recipient.
• Confucian cultivator Xiao Hua explained that entering Wenqu required merit from enlightening living beings and approval from the saints.

• The Nine Provinces Ding supported the Wenqu Star as it entered Xiao Hua’s middle dantian and formed a five-colored child body, after which the signs vanished and Confucian cultivator Xiao Hua remained in seclusion.

Xiao Hua left Chao Tian Que with the Ink Jade Kirin and tried to recruit him to leave the Primordial Continent, while the Kirin revealed a mysterious prophecy about Tongtian Peak. Xiao Hua reunited with the Creation Sect disciples and learned how their teachings had changed the continent during his ten-year absence.

• Xiao Hua accepted the Ink Jade Kirin's offer to serve as his mount for one day and learned that a crystal foretold a divine artifact would appear atop Tongtian Peak in a hundred years.
• The Ink Jade Kirin refused to seek Tongtian Peak, explaining that he had grown more cautious after reflecting on his past arrogance and near-death experiences.
• Xiao Hua found Tuntian's lair empty and offered the Ink Jade Kirin a suitable cultivation method, but warned that teaching him could make him responsible for Tuntian's death.
• The Ink Jade Kirin eagerly agreed to consider leaving the Primordial Continent with Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua set out toward the Stone Giant's lair before finding the Creation Sect disciples.
• Liu Yi and Jiang Hong arrived and rejoiced that Xiao Hua was safe; Xiao Hua learned that the Creation Sect disciples had taught local races to read, speak, cultivate, and absorb Primordial Qi.

Xiao Hua reunited with Liu Yi and Jiang Hong, praised their spread of enlightenment across the Primordial Continent, and bestowed a refined Treasure Dropping Copper Coin on Liu Yi. He then went to meet Buddha Bodhi near the completed Teleportation Array, while the soul cultivator still needed to obtain Great Snow Mountain’s mark to cross between realms.

• Xiao Hua reassured Jiang Hong that Dragon Vein Xiao Hua was recovering and gave Liu Yi the Treasure Dropping Copper Coin and its control method.

Xiao Hua and his companions discussed how the Primordial Continent could not truly be their home and weighed whether the Incense-Passing Cult disciples could settle there. After ordering the Creation Sect disciples back to Shenhua Continent, Xiao Hua examined a Teleportation Array intended to reach Great Snow Mountain and set out to explore the continent while waiting for a reverse passage.

• Xiao Hua reflected that the Primordial Continent was not home because its people and places belonged to a different time.
• Buddha Bodhi explained that the Primordial Continent was too dangerous for the Incense-Passing Cult disciples, and Xiao Hua ordered the Creation Sect disciples to return to Shenhua Continent.

Wang Zhengfei showed him a mysterious phoenix hairpin that might hold an Immortal Realm maiden, and Xiao Hua tasked green-robed Xiao Hua with adapting a translation technique to help communicate with her.

• Fu Zhiwen told Xiao Hua that Liu Yi had sensed someone watching them more than ten years earlier but had not reported feeling anything unusual since.
• Xiao Hua sent Fu Zhiwen back to Shenhua Continent and hurried to help his disciples fight thousands of lizard-like Primordial Chaos Beasts.

• Bone Tempering Xiao Hua fought several gigantic lizards and wounded one by kicking a hill into its belly.
• Xiao Hua appeared beside Bone Tempering Xiao Hua as Jiang Hong warned him, but giant bronze vines surged from the earth and swept toward him.

Xiao Hua rescued the Creation Sect disciples and the Ink Jade Kirin from a deadly assault by giant vines, then struggled to protect Bone Tempering Xiao Hua as the vines overwhelmed the plain. The chapter ended with a fearsome hand of golden vines emerging from a crack in the void and crushing Xiao Hua’s attack.

He learned Liu Yi had sensed a watcher but stayed silent, then urged him not to dismiss his own perceptions as the group prepared to explore deeper into the Primordial Continent.
