Xiao Hua brought out Shang Hua Ming's Sea God statue to restrain Bei Xian'er, but she revealed that she had only pretended to fear it and used it to invoke the Sea God's power. As the Sea God's majesty crushed Xiao Hua and his companions, Xiao Hua reached late Mahayana in his Dao realm and prepared to consume the mysterious golden pellet in a final attempt to take Bei Xian'er down with him.

• Xiao Hua released Shang Hua Ming's divine statue, and Bei Xian'er appeared to prostrate herself before it.

• Xiao Hua's companions were overwhelmed, while Xiao Hua and Celestial True Person struggled to resist the Sea God's projection.
• Xiao Hua's Dao realm advanced to late Mahayana amid the pressure, and he decided to consume the mysterious golden pellet as his last resort.

The Great Seven-Colored Halo Shell Realm collapsed, and the Five-Colored Sea God Conch lost his colors and bloodline.

• A tiny Divine Spark appeared in Xiao Hua’s Niwan Palace and shattered the approaching Sea God illusory projection, destroying the projections throughout the barrier.
• The Divine Spark’s backlash expelled Bei Xian’er from the Sea God statue, drained its colors, and shattered her natal shell and the Great Seven-Colored Halo Shell Realm.

• The Five-Colored Sea God Conch returned to his ordinary form and told the Golden-Winged Great Peng that his Sea God bloodline had been stripped away.

• Xiao Hua stored Biqing in his space and chose not to bring Bibo out of Shenhua Continent, sparing her from the divine punishment.
• He gathered the injured Eight Tribulation Scattered Infants and demanded that Bei Xian'er say whether she was satisfied with the outcome.
• Bei Xian'er admitted that she and Bei Ming were cousins who had searched for each other, and explained that she had captured Xiao Hua's allies to keep the sea race from finding them.

• Xiao Hua touched the nine-colored radiance with his divine sense, encountered its vast sacred will, and watched his Dharma Body Golden Body collapse.

Xiao Hua survived Bei Xian'er’s attack and used Small Pouch to absorb the Sea God’s power, which Bei Xian'er identified as the ancient Heavenly Clan artifact Myriad Annihilation Heaven Dou. After his allies arrived and the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons returned to daylight, Bei Xian'er asked why only three Great Sages had come to Biqingyu.

• Xiao Hua realized his body could withstand the Sea God’s power but that he needed a holy artifact to contain it.
• Xiao Hua sent Small Pouch into the nine-colored radiance, and it absorbed the Sea God’s power while revealing an annihilating aura.
• Bei Xian'er identified Small Pouch as the Heavenly Clan’s Myriad Annihilation Heaven Dou and said her people’s secret canon had been seized by the sea race.

• Feng Wu, Wen Qu, and Wu Daoist arrived, and Xiao Hua assured them his injuries were superficial.
• Bei Xian'er rebuked the Five-Colored Sea God Conch, acknowledged the arriving Golden-Winged Great Peng and Feathered Sky-Piercing Beast, and asked where the other three Great Sages were.

Xiao Hua reunited Xiao Bai with Bi Bo and reconciled with Bei Xian'er after revealing he had spared the Sea God bloodline. He welcomed Xiao Bai as his younger brother, then asked Bei Xian'er how she would compensate him for his unjust two-hundred-year imprisonment.

• The Five-Colored Sea God Conch reported that three demon realms had been destroyed and two hundred thousand demons had vanished, prompting the Three Great Sages to investigate.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 informed Ao Zhan that Jiang Hong and Liu Yi would support his return to the Dragon Palace, and said he wanted Little White Dragon to become Lord of the West Sea.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
