The Nascent Soul war left the Profound Spirit Continent devastated, and the Supreme Purity Sect tried to punish White Cloud Temple’s surviving leaders. White Crane rescued Yun Du, Lu Xun, and Sun Chengzu and brought them to Shi Jian, where Lu Xun and Sun Chengzu chose to serve the demons and Yun Du’s decision remained unknown.

• Yun Du submitted to Shi Jian after being threatened with the destruction of the Yun Clan.
• Shi Jian appointed Shi Pan to rule the demon domain and reserved the central mountains for his bear lineages and White Crane’s avian demons.

• Shi Jian remained asleep inside a cocoon of purple-gold lightning, while the Myriad Demon Domain settled into peace under its Golden Core Demon Generals.
• At Beheading Ridge, Thunder Shadow killed the Ironback Lizard King and the wounded Azure Wind Wolf King, then ate two vermilion fruits and advanced to the fourth level.

• Kuang Dou began Core Formation at Frenzied Battle Peak, drawing Spiritual Qi into the mountain and plunging into a sea of molten tribulation fire to forge a Fire Dao Qi Dynamic.
• The tribulation fire burned Kuang Dou’s body to ash, leaving only a cracked Demon Core as Shi Pan, Shi Yin, and the watching demons believed he had failed.
• At the brink of destruction, Kuang Dou refined the Earthly Sha Tribulation Fire Qi, and his Demon Core burst apart as a dark-gold Golden Core formed within it.
• Kuang Dou rebuilt his body in the flames, reached early Golden Core, and announced that he would be known as Sun Devourer and that his clan would become the Sun Devourer Hound Clan.
• Sun Devourer established the Sun-Devouring Demon Cave, called hound clans and wolf demons to join him, and received an answering summons from countless beasts.

At Frenzied Battle Peak, Golden Crocodile and Wanxiang taught newly advanced Demon Generals Kuang Dou and Bi Luo how to expand their clans by spreading bloodlines and organizing their populations.

• Golden Crocodile described how aquatic demons expanded their populations and urged the others to establish ranks for purebloods, mixed-bloods, and vassals.

• After the gathering, Kuang Dou added three drops of Essence Blood to a pool outside the Sun-Devouring Demon Cave, where surviving hounds and wolves developed stronger bloodlines.
• Bi Luo established a bloodline spirit spring at the Qingmu Demon Cave, and the Green Ape Clan's numbers began to grow rapidly.

After ten years of failing to advance, Shi Mo tried to form a Golden Core without a Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic and died when his Demon Core shattered. His final act transformed Dark Gold Peak into the beginnings of a Metal Dao Blessed Land, leaving the Dark Gold Line with hope for the future.

• Shi Mo lamented that Shi Pan, Shi Yin, and Kuang Dou had advanced while he remained stuck at the peak of level four, and resolved to risk forming a core without the proper Qi Dynamic.
• Shi Mo forcibly triggered Core Formation at Dark Gold Peak, drawing violent Geng Metal sharp Qi into his body as Shi Pan, Shi Yin, and the other Golden Core Demon Generals watched in alarm.
• Shi Mo tried to condense the sharp Qi, but it shattered his Demon Core and destroyed his body; as he died, he grieved that he had failed the patriarch and vowed that the Dark Gold Line must endure.
• Shi Mo dissolved into dark gold lights that transformed Dark Gold Peak, calming its Geng Metal sharp Qi and forming the beginnings of a Metal Dao Blessed Land.
• Thousands of Dark Gold giant bears mourned Shi Mo, while Shi Pan and Shi Yin said farewell amid the grief spreading through the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.

After seven great demons died attempting Core Formation without Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamics, Bai Ling used the completed Cloud Dao Qi Dynamic to successfully form a Golden Core. White Crane named him Cloud Radiance and granted him command of the birds, strengthening the avian race as the bear lineages grew uneasy.

• Seven peak fourth-level demons attempted Core Formation without Qi Dynamics and died, leaving embryonic Blessed Lands and valuable materials across the Myriad Demon Domain.
• White Crane gave Bai Ling the matured Cloud Dao Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic and sent him to attempt Core Formation.

• White Crane established Cloud Radiance’s Demon Cave in the northern Myriad Demon Domain and placed the birds under his command.
• The five bear lineages watched the avian race’s growing power with apprehension while their old ancestor remained in seclusion.

The Myriad Demon Domain flourished under Bai Ling’s rule as its clans expanded and strengthened. Shi Yin and Shi Pan chose to avoid the Kunyuan Secret Realm, keeping the domain sealed while they waited for the ancestor to emerge and prepared for future conflict.

• Bi Luo watched the Green Ape Clan thrive and develop several new bloodlines through Golden Crocodile’s teachings and Essence Blood.

• White Crane inspected the offerings and rewarded Shu Baoshan with a Human Race Golden Core.
• White Crane decided to use the resources to establish a secret realm for the Feather Race.

• White Crane forged an empty secret realm but realized it needed Spirit Veins to keep it from collapsing.
• White Crane went to the One Qi Dao Gate and forcibly pulled out its third-tier and nearby second-tier Spirit Veins as True Lords Wenxuan and Qingxiao watched.
• True Lord Wenxuan stopped Qingxiao from attacking, and the two yielded the Spirit Veins to protect the sect’s disciples from White Crane.
• White Crane planted the Spirit Veins in the new realm, named it Yunxiao, and invited flying birds to enter and guard it.
• White Crane celebrated the Feather Race’s strengthened foundations and prepared to use leftover spirit medicines to help Shi Jian.
