• Zhang Jianchen explained that the Origin Dao Physique could guide the righteous path to the Primordial Dao Fruit and weaken its backlash, and that its bearer was somewhere among the low-level cultivators of Flying Immortal Prefecture.

Li Yunjing used the Origin Sensing Pearl to find a sealed chamber beneath Taiyi Immortal Sect’s main peak, where the Origin Dao Physique lay beyond a barrier he could not open. A warning from Huangfu Chenyin brought him to the western valley, where she and Tie Shan faced six powerful Devil Cultivators.

• Zhenyangzi revealed that the devil path had destroyed the Taiyi Immortal Sect twenty thousand years earlier, leaving him alone to guard the Dao embryo and await its awakening and a fated inheritor.

Li Yunjing accepted the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s final inheritance and agreed to guard the Origin Dao Embryo for the half month until it awakened.

Lu Tianji exposed the devil side’s hidden assault on the Primordial Dao Fruit, prompting Zhang Jianchen to send the righteous forces into battle while Yan Tianjin continued accelerating the fruit’s ripening. At Supreme Unity Divine Mountain, Zhenyangzi guided Li Yunjing in synchronizing his cultivation with the Origin Dao Embryo.

• Lu Tianji revealed that the Devil Emperor and most devil leaders were absent from their camp and had entered the Chaos Abyss to accelerate the Primordial Dao Fruit’s ripening.

• Zhenyangzi guided Li Yunjing as he entered a profound state of enlightenment and absorbed the Taiyi Immortal Sect's cultivation methods, arrays, Pill Formulas, and artifact-refining methods.
• Li Yunjing's Dao Union Perfection bottleneck cracked while he remained immersed in the Great Dao.
• Huangfu Chenyin warned Tie Shan that the devil path's silence could precede a stronger attack, and said she had requested help from the Immortal Alliance.

• Li Yunjing emerged in a pillar of pale azure light, having broken through to Early Void Refinement.

Li Yunjing broke through to the Void Refinement Realm and awakened the Five Aggregates Cauldron, an ancient Immortal Artifact, which defeated the Devil Dao attackers on Supreme Unity Divine Mountain.

• After everyone's injuries were stabilized, Huangfu Chenyin asked Li Yunjing whether he had reached the Void Refinement Realm and whether the cauldron was an Immortal Artifact.

After Blood Bone Old Devil's death, Li Yunjing and the others prepared to defend the Origin Pool for three days until the Origin Dao Embryo awakened. Li Yunjing used the Five Aggregates Cauldron to purge the Mystic Yin Devil Banner's evil nature and was left holding a purified Semi-Immortal Artifact whose new name was up to him.

• Zhenyangzi warned that Yan Tianjin might come in person, so Li Yunjing decided they had to protect the Origin Pool until the Dao Embryo awakened in three days.
• Li Yunjing repaired the Supreme Unity Boundless Array while Huangfu Chenyin and Tie Shan set sentries and cleared the battlefield.
• Zhenyangzi, Tie Shan, and Huangfu Chenyin debated whether to destroy or purify the Mystic Yin Devil Banner, and Li Yunjing proposed using the Five Aggregates Cauldron.
• Li Yunjing and Five Spirits Lord used the cauldron's origin fire and the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture to burn away the banner's devilish nature and soothe the souls trapped within it.
• The Mystic Yin Devil Banner became a pale-green, righteous Semi-Immortal Artifact, and Five Spirits Lord told Li Yunjing to claim and rename it.

Li Yunjing refined the Mystic Yin Devil Banner into the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner and strengthened the Supreme Unity Boundless Array while the Dao Embryo neared awakening. After learning that Blood Bone Old Devil and his force had fallen, Yan Tianjin wanted to attack the Supreme Unity Divine Mountain but chose to prioritize the Dao Fruit.

• Li Yunjing named the transformed Semi-Immortal Artifact the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner, and Zhenyangzi, Elder Huangfu Chenyin, and Tie Shan praised its power.
• Li Yunjing warned that the banner alone could not stop Yan Tianjin, then linked it to the repaired Supreme Unity Boundless Array to strengthen the sect's defenses.
• Zhenyangzi said the Dao Embryo should take form by dawn the day after tomorrow, and Li Yunjing conserved his strength for the coming trial.
• A devil envoy reported that Blood Bone Old Devil, the four devil generals with him, and the Mystic Yin Devil Banner were lost at the Supreme Unity Divine Mountain; Yan Tianjin's Devil Qi killed the envoy.
• Yan Tianjin prepared to attack the mountain, but Old Devil Bone Spirit and Devil General Blood Baleful Intent urged him to remain and protect the Dao Fruit operation.
• Yan Tianjin accepted that the Dao Fruit came first and concluded that the mountain's defenses might include a Peak Tribulation Transcendence expert, a Loose Immortal, or an ancient immortal-grade array.

Yan Tianjin ordered the devil forces to delay the righteous path while they hurried the Dao Fruit toward maturity, then secretly sent a message to their camp. The righteous vanguard reached the first defense line, where Ling Yue and Blood Baleful Intent began their duel as the two armies clashed.

• Yan Tianjin assigned Blood Baleful Intent to delay the vanguard and ordered Yin Corpse and Bone Spirit to defend the second line while the Dao Fruit ripened within ten days.

• Yunyouzi struck the first corpse poison formation with divine lightning, badly injuring Old Devil Yin Corpse and killing many Devil Cultivators.
• Yan Tianjin emerged from the fog, and Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi stood together to face him as Zhang Jianchen put the army on alert.

Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi fought Yan Tianjin but could not defeat him, so Zhang Jianchen negotiated a division of territory around the Dao Fruit until it matured. The righteous camp prepared for a likely renewed conflict, with Zhou Ziyang warning that Yan Tianjin might break the agreement and strike first.

• Yunyouzi and Xuanjizi battled Yan Tianjin, whose strength left them unable to kill him even with their combined Yin-Yang attack.
• Yan Tianjin proposed dividing the territory around the origin zone and halting hostilities until the Dao Fruit matured.
• Zhang Jianchen accepted after Yan Tianjin agreed to withdraw thirty li and stop secretly catalyzing the Dao Fruit.
• The righteous and demonic armies retreated to opposite sides of the origin zone and built defensive camps.
• Zhang Jianchen briefed the righteous leaders, and Zhou Ziyang warned that Yan Tianjin might secretly hasten the Dao Fruit and attack first.

Lu Tianji secretly informed Yan Tianjin that the Primordial Dao Fruit would ripen in seven days, and the Devil Emperor prepared a deception while planning to seize it. Six days before it ripened, Yan Tianjin learned the righteous forces were investigating traitors and arranged to use Cangsongzi to further disrupt them.

• The righteous leaders learned that Li Yunjing had reached Void Refinement, killed Blood Bone Old Devil, and was preparing to reinforce them; Xuanjizi and Yunyouzi planned to improve their combined attack.
• Lu Tianji secretly told Yan Tianjin the Dao Fruit would ripen at the hour of the rat in seven days and warned him about the righteous forces and Li Yunjing.
• Yan Tianjin ordered Blood Baleful Intent to make a conspicuous tunnel, Yin Corpse and Bone Spirit to stage a frontal threat, and planned to attack the Dao Fruit himself with Lu Tianji's help.
• One day later, Yan Tianjin received Lu Tianji's warning that Zhang Jianchen was investigating traitors and told his generals the devil path could not afford another defeat.
• Yan Tianjin asked about Cangsongzi, and Bone Spirit reported that Cangsongzi would be framed with false evidence of collusion in three days to sow confusion among the righteous forces.

Yan Tianjin ordered Cangsongzi’s exposure to fracture the righteous path and improve the devil path’s chances of claiming the Dao Fruit. Bai Yuan uncovered evidence against Cangsongzi and brought it to Zhang Jianchen, leaving the alliance leader facing the apparent discovery of a traitor.

• Yan Tianjin ordered Cangsongzi exposed and instructed him to implicate the Purple Yang Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Pill Cauldron Sect.
• Three days later, a law enforcement disciple showed Bai Yuan a devil path transmission talisman bearing Cangsongzi’s Pine Pattern Seal and clues about the army’s supply route.
• Bai Yuan summoned Cangsongzi, questioned him, and detained him while the investigation continued.
• Law enforcement disciples searched Cangsongzi’s quarters and found a devil path bone transmission talisman and three letters signed by Devil General Blood Baleful Intent.
• Bai Yuan brought the evidence to Zhang Jianchen, who reacted with alarm at the apparent collusion.
