Lin Tian’s diary revelations alert Tongtian to threats against the Interception Sect, while Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos mistake Lin Tian’s ordinary habits for the actions of a powerful Sage. The arc ends with Lin Tian agreeing to hear the sisters’ cultivation questions, still believing he is an ordinary villager.
Lin Tian’s ordinary gifts and books gave Duobao and the Three Xiaos unexpected paths to study, while Tongtian uncovered Western influence within the Interception Sect. The Three Xiaos left with books for themselves and Zhao Gongming, and the Western Sages moved toward the sect.
Lin Tian’s books helped Duobao, Yunxiao, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Xiaos advance their cultivation, while Tongtian confronted the Two Sages of the West. As the Chan Sect provoked the Interception Sect, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos defeated Guangchengzi and Daoist Qingxu, but Yuanshi Tianzun arrived to confront them.
Lin Tian’s growing rewards and casual treatment of powerful treasures drew Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos to his courtyard, while Yuanshi read a mysterious diary that made him question the Chan Sect’s allies. The stretch ended with Yuanshi discovering that Taishang had joined forces with the Two Sages of the West against Tongtian.
Yuanshi uncovered the Western Sages’ schemes, killed Taiyi and Yu Ding, and drove Jieyin away after his promised treasure led nowhere. At Lin Tian’s hidden courtyard, the Three Xiaos gained the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, while Chan Sect disciples arrived at Jin'ao Island to challenge the Interception Sect.
Hongjun announced the Investiture of the Gods, setting the Chan and Interception Sects on a course to contest the Human Clan’s future. As both sides chose their mortal-world allies, Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos brought Wen Zhong to Lin Tian’s hidden courtyard, where Tongtian lost track of them.
Tongtian learned that the Investiture of the Gods would devastate the Interception Sect and visited Lin Tian, where he received Great Wall models and guidance toward his own Sword Dao. As Hongjun moved to eliminate a threat and the sects prepared for war, Shen Gongbao was carried to Lin Tian’s courtyard.
Lin Tian gained the World-Destroying Black Lotus, took in the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, and unknowingly sent the Great Dao Diary Scroll to Di Xin. After reading its predictions, Di Xin began investigating the schemes against Great Shang, while Wen Zhong proposed taking Su Daji to the Interception Sect for answers.
Shen Gongbao joined the Interception Sect and took the Investiture of the Gods from Jiang Ziya, while Lin Tian’s courtyard trapped Nuwa and the Two Sages of the West. As Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos faced Randeng, Lin Tian lent Zhao Gongming the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and exposed Zhunti in the pond.
Lin Tian’s wooden qin helped Zhao Gongming defeat Randeng and Yuanshi’s avatar, while Yuanshi turned his attention toward the Interception Sect. Tongtian fortified Jin'ao Island and entered seclusion, Duobao set out for the Western Teachings, and Di Xin received a new message from the Great Dao Diary Scroll.
Di Xin reclaimed the Kongtong Seal with the Human Dao’s power, freed the Three Sovereigns, and drove Taishang and Yuanshi back with the Great Dao Diary Scroll. Meanwhile, Hongjun entered Lin Tian’s courtyard and was defeated by Lin Tian, who ended the stretch with the God-Slaying Spear at Hongjun’s neck.
Lin Tian’s courtyard was devastated when Hongjun and three Sages self-detonated, unleashing ruin across the Primordial World. As Duobao established Buddhism and Tongtian defied the Heavenly Dao, Pingxin emerged from the Underworld and confronted Hongjun to defend the Interception Sect.
Tongtian cast off his Sage status and fought Hongjun, but Lin Tian intervened and defeated Hongjun and Yang Mei with Luohu’s help. Lin Tian then began rebuilding the Primordial World with Tongtian, Luohu, and the Interception Sect, while Zhen Yuanzi arrived seeking a meeting.
Lin Tian found the Chaos Bead and freed Chaos, then followed her into the Chaos Capital and drew the attention of its Immortal Emperors. As Chaos advanced and the Endless Immortal Emperor came to meet them, Lin Tian accepted missions to unite the Chaos Continent with the Primordial World and sensed danger through the City Guardian he controlled.
Lin Tian defeated the Unrivaled Immortal Emperor and uncovered the threat beyond the Chaos barrier, where skeletal beings preyed on humans. After entering their world and learning that an Immortal King ruled it, he headed for the ruler’s residence.
Lin Tian defeated the holders of the Heavenly Dao’s authority and took control of the world, then entered the Underground World beneath the Blood Sea to claim its demonic power and bring the Demon Clan under his rule. He left the clan cultivating under the Heavenly Dao’s power and entered the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.
