Xiao Hua and Feng Wu learned the route out of the Zhenhao Wasteland and rescued the surviving Phoenix Emissaries sent by King Caihuang. After sending them into the Kunlun Immortal Realm, the group headed toward Bi Yao Canghai, while Great Sages gathered to watch the Sage Ranking.

• Xiao Hua examined the realm awareness and learned that the group was in the vast, dangerous Zhenhao Wasteland.

• Feng Wu led Xiao Hua and the others toward Bi Yao Canghai as Great Sage Xuan, Great Sage Ji Ying, and other Great Sages watched the Sage Ranking.

The Great Sages watched the Sage Ranking fail to inscribe the names of two newly born Great Sages, revealing signs of Devil Race bloodline and an unknown identity. A third strange birth cracked the Ranking before it withdrew, leaving the Saints to prepare for upheaval across the Myriad Monster Realm.

• The Sage Ranking shook under black lightning but stayed blank, and Great Sage Ji Ying suspected the unnamed Great Sage had both Devil Race and spirit race bloodlines.
• Great Sage Ji Ying urged the Saints to determine whether the unnamed Great Sage was allied with the previous six, but another inscription identified a Great Sage as an “ancient celestial being.”
• Great Sage Dong Xuan ordered defenses set up in the Liye Wasteland, while Snow Wolf King warned that the Sage Ranking might be recording another Great Sage.
• Eerie green lightning cracked the Sage Ranking, which later scattered lightning across the Myriad Monster Realm and vanished, signaling that at least nine Great Sages had appeared.
• After the Saints left the Ranking’s domain, Snow Wolf King wondered why Heavenly King Hua had not appeared, and the Great Ape King and Great Eagle King departed.

Xiao Hua and the Great Saints settled the Demon Race, Dragon Clan, and Sea Clan in the Myriad Monster Realm, where they would have to establish their own lives. After failing to find a safe home for the humans, Xiao Hua wondered whether moving them to the Xiaoyu Continent or Shenhua Continent would violate his promise.

• Xiao Hua, Feng Wu, and Huang Tong chose a remote wilderness and released the Demon Race of the Sacred Realm of a Thousand Demons, giving the demon kings information and urging them to avoid fighting humans, dragons, and sea clans.
• Xiao Hua and the True Person released the Dragon Clan and Sea Clan into the Bi Yao Canghai after deciding the dragons and sea clans would have to adapt to its waters.
• Xiao Hua joined Feng Wu, Huang Tong, Maitreya Buddha World Honored One, and Thunderclap True Person to search for a place where humans could survive, but they found only dangerous wilderness.
• Feng Wu suggested taking the humans to the Xiaoyu Continent, and Thunderclap True Person offered the Shenhua Continent as another refuge.
• Xiao Hua hesitated over relocating the humans, questioning whether either choice would betray the intent of those who had entrusted them to him.

The Saints reacted to the vanished Sage Ranking while Great Sage Ji Ying invited the Fire Phoenix King to the Hua Tian Realm. Xiao Hua and Huang Tong crossed the dangerous Bi Yao Canghai to reach the Qingshui Domain, where they released the Phoenix Emissaries to search for a spatial gateway before continuing on their urgent mission.

• Great Sage Dong Xuan and the other Saints departed, while Great Sage Ji Ying asked the Fire Phoenix King to accompany her to the Hua Tian Realm.

• Huang Tong declined the Phoenix Emissaries' invitation to the Phoenix God Hall and told them to report to the King Caihuang.

• Xiao Hua decided to build a great city protected by the Duotian Star Array and the Mao Ri Demon Devouring Immortal Array, and the immortal generals and Buddhist Protectors chose to stay in the Myriad Monster Realm.
• Xiao Hua released the Confucian cultivators, Buddhist sect disciples, and Creation Sect disciples to help construct the city, while his incarnations established its defensive arrays.
• After the city neared completion, Li Xiang and Xiong Yi chose to go to Xiaoyu Continent because the Myriad Monster Realm’s Primordial Qi harmed Daoist cultivators.
• Black Bear Spirit, Golden Eagle, and White Lion chose to remain in the Myriad Monster Realm and establish the Creation Sect there.
• Black Bear Spirit knelt before Xiao Hua and pleaded to follow him instead, saying he only wanted to guard Xiao Hua’s cave dwelling.

Xiao Hua told the Black Bear Spirit to remain in the Myriad Monster Realm and grow stronger, but the Black Bear Spirit chose to stay devoted to him instead. After leaving the realm, Xiao Hua and his companions worried that Shenhua Continent might be endangered by changes to the Heaven and Earth Laws.

• Xiao Hua explained that the Myriad Monster Realm could help the Black Bear Spirit become a Demon King, but the Black Bear Spirit pleaded to remain by his side rather than cultivate apart from him.

• Xiao Hua admitted he feared that changes to the Heaven and Earth Laws might cause Shenhua Continent to undergo annihilation and reformation.

• Xiao Hua and his companions debated whether to move Shenhua Continent’s citizens to Xiaoyu Continent, but Xiao Hua feared the consequences and chose to wait for changes in the realm’s laws.
• A celestial phenomenon sealed Xiao Hua and his avatars in place, then gathered human, Buddhist, and Dragon Race manifestations around them.
• The phenomenon’s power merged with Xiao Hua’s insights and energies, while Maitreya Buddha World Honored One and True Person received their own Buddhist and Dragon manifestations.
• Xiao Hua and his companions bowed in gratitude after the Heavenly Dao’s merit entered Xiao Hua’s crystalline godhead and vanished.
• Huang Tong questioned why restoring races that had once existed in the Myriad Monster Realm counted as opening-heaven merit, and Xiao Hua suggested they might now flourish without being wiped out.
• Xiao Hua warned that the Myriad Monster Realm’s Great Sages might discover the event, so he and the others concealed themselves nearby and waited for more than half a year.

Xiao Hua prepared to leave the Duotian Star Array and traveled with his companions toward the Spirit Realm after settling the Multicolored Sea God Conch’s descendants. Meanwhile, a silver humanoid learned that someone had claimed the merit of opening heaven in the Myriad Monster Realm and began searching for the culprit, but its summons to Snow Wolf King went unanswered.

• Xiao Hua had Wu Daoist and Thunderclap True Person leave soul-consciousness marks in the Duotian Star Array so they could return if enemies invaded.
• Xiao Hua asked Little White Dragon about Golden Wood Two Realms Mountain, but neither of them found it on the realm-sense; Little White Dragon said he would discuss his descendants’ future with them.
• Xiao Hua, Wu Daoist, and Thunderclap True Person sent the Multicolored Sea God Conch’s descendants into Bi Yao Canghai, then traveled toward the Spirit Realm.
• A silver humanoid detected the human race’s merit of opening heaven and blamed an unknown Immortal clan, suspecting the Jiang Family and other powerful families.
• The silver humanoid called for Snow Wolf King, but received no reply after several days and grew furious.

The Snow Wolf King confronted the Immortal Envoy over their cooperative agreement, then reported the new Great Sages who had appeared in the Myriad Monster Realm. The Immortal Envoy suspected another family's interference and asked about the Hua Tian Realm, where Great Sage Ji Ying and the Fire Phoenix King had gone to handle a new complication.

• The Snow Wolf King resisted the Immortal Envoy's attempt to punish and command her, insisting that they were partners and that she would not join the Shen Family.

Snow Wolf King agreed to exterminate the humans gathering in the western frontier of the Spirit Realm in exchange for half of his agreement with the Immortal Emissary. Meanwhile, Xiao Hua continued searching for Golden Wood Two Realms Mountain and Jifeng Abyss while avoiding Phoenix God Hall, determined to keep the Three Great Continents’ descendants hidden.

• The Immortal Emissary negotiated with Snow Wolf King, offering to return the unharmed Wolf Ancestor if Snow Wolf King personally exterminated the humans in the western frontier of the Spirit Realm and the little fox was recovered.
• Snow Wolf King accepted the task and hurried west, while the Immortal Emissary wondered who Xiao Hua was and which Immortal clan had trained him.

• Xiao Hua refused to approach Phoenix God Hall, explaining that he wanted to avoid entanglements and keep the Three Great Continents’ human and dragon descendants concealed until they could grow strong.

Xiao Hua learned that Little White Dragon’s Golden Wood Two Realms Mountain was unrelated to the place named in Ancestor Hongmeng’s jade pupil, ending their search for the Metal-Wood Primordial Magnetism in the Myriad Monster Realm. Xiao Hua and his companions then headed toward Hua Tian Realm, flying for months without encountering any serious opposition.

• Little White Dragon told Xiao Hua that he had found clues to Jifeng Abyss through a place called Juling, where he had once hoped to compete for a Demon Rank title.
