Jiang Zhu used the Void Mirror to destroy the Golden Crow Clan’s ancestral grounds, and the clan’s remaining members and territories were soon targeted by rival powers. He and Yan Ruyu followed the Thirty-Six Sea Maps across the Northern Sea and reached the legendary Tang Valley, where a golden ancient tree stood.

After the Fusang Divine Tree responded to the other Divine Medicines, it began to leave Tang Valley and sent nine ancient characters toward Jiang Zhu.

As news spread that powerful beings from beyond Ziwei had begun slaughtering across Luzhou, Jiang Zhu realized the Primordial Race had arrived aboard its lost warship.

Jiang Zhu learned that the Old Madman was battling two Primordial Great Sages and six Ancestral Kings beyond the domain, then hurried to help with the others.

• Dongfang Taiyi awakened and identified himself to the Solar Sect Master as a Saint who had obtained the Saint Emperor's scripture.

• Dongfang Taiyi returned the Taiyang True Scripture to the Sun Sect and learned that the Taiyin Saint Emperor’s descendants had vanished and the Taiyin Divine Sect had been occupied by usurpers.
• Furious at the powers that had stood by, Dongfang Taiyi unleashed his Great Sage pressure across Ziwei Star Domain and ordered every top power to meet him in three days.

Jiang Zhu and his companions discovered the remains of a Saint aboard the Primordial Race’s warship and learned of her admiration for Great Emperor Wushi. The chapter left Jiang Zhu holding a jade pendant containing Dilis’s final thoughts and powerful Taiyin Saintly Power.

• Jiang Zhu gave Old Man Human Demon the Void Mirror, allowing him to locate and retrieve the Sun Saint Emperor’s coffin from a distant star.

• The Sun Saint Emperor inscribed nine ancient characters on Dongfang Taiyi, offered final words, and dissipated inside the Sacred Emperor Palace.
• Dongfang Taiyi and Old Madman sensed a distant probe by a Saint Weapon, then received representatives of Human King Hall, Guanghan Palace, Sea God Palace, and Heavenly Wolf Mountain.
• The representatives begged forgiveness for their former relations with the Duanmu Clan and Golden Crow Clan, and Human King Hall offered half a page of an Ancient Divine Scripture.

Dongfang Taiyi accepted the four powers’ apology on the condition that their Kings guard the Saint Emperor’s tomb for a century, then arranged protection and a refuge for the Sun God Sect. When Ziwei’s major powers gathered at Saint Emperor Mountain, Jiang Zhu encountered two young men, including an heir of the Human Desire Dao.

• Jiang Zhu challenged the Human King Hall, Guanghan Palace, Sea God Palace, and Heavenly Wolf Mountain over their past inaction, and the four offered to have their Kings guard the Saint Emperor’s tomb for a century.

• Jiang Zhu explored ancient sites across Ziwei Ancient Star, studied their Dao repositories, and collected insights into the myriad Daos.

• Jiang Zhu clashed with Emperor Hengyu, the Void Emperor, and the Azure Emperor before the Taiyin Human Emperor joined the battle, forcing him to summon three Dao Selves with One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
