Chapter Summaries

Ao Changsheng shattered Yangmei’s Chaos-world Divine Ability and trapped him in a vast sea of worlds, forcing Yangmei to flee through his spatial projection. Ao Changsheng recognized that Yangmei had escaped rather than been destroyed, while his Water and Wind Dao Bodies discussed the encounter and his original self regretted creating them.

• Yangmei was shocked when Ao Changsheng broke his Chaos-world Divine Ability and realized Ao Changsheng had grown far stronger than he had expected.
• Ao Changsheng emerged from the shattered Chaos void and enveloped Yangmei in a world formed from countless small worlds, overwhelming Yangmei’s Great Dao of Space.
• Yangmei recalled surviving Pangu’s slaughter by abandoning his Chaos Demon God body, regained his composure, and vanished from the world Ao Changsheng held in his palm.
• Ao Changsheng explained that the Yangmei he had fought was a spatial projection and could not be traced to its true body.
• Ao-Wind Dao Body-Changsheng appeared, announced that Yangmei had been driven back, and disappeared before Water Ao Changsheng could reply.
• Ao-Water Dao Body-Changsheng blamed a flaw in the Dao Body Sacred Method, while Ao Changsheng’s original self wondered whether the method had produced minds truly in tune with his own.

Great Immortal Yangmei weighed his options after failing to capture Ao Changsheng and decided to spread word of the Primordial World to powerful Chaos Demon Gods so he could exploit the ensuing conflict. Ao Changsheng continued onward in the Water Dragon World, unaware that Yangmei planned to sell information about him and the Primordial World.

• Yangmei recalled how Ao Changsheng’s astonishing strength had thwarted his plan to capture him and learn the Primordial World’s location.
• Yangmei judged Ao Changsheng’s rapid fusion of many weaker Great Daos to be a cultivation dead end, but recognized that his current strength was still overwhelming.
• Yangmei hesitated to involve ancient, powerful Chaos Demon Gods, fearing they would kill him and seize the Primordial World for themselves.
• Yangmei resolved to spread information about the Primordial World, hoping to profit from Ao Changsheng’s capture and eventually return there.
• Ao Changsheng erased his traces, changed the Water Dragon World’s course, and continued through Chaos without knowing Yangmei’s plans.

Ao Changsheng used the Great Void World-Breaking Technique to bring the Chaos Demon God of Disorder’s corpse from his Water Dao Body to Changsheng’s Dao Field. The Tree of the Great Dao absorbed the corpse and produced five Dao Fruits before Yun Zhongzi arrived to request an audience.

• Ao Changsheng sacrificed a Great Thousand World to send the Chaos Demon God of Disorder’s corpse instantly to Changsheng’s Dao Field with the Great Void World-Breaking Technique.
• Ao Changsheng brought the corpse to the Tree of the Great Dao, which absorbed it and produced Dao Fruits of Disorder, Light, Darkness, Illusion, and the Five Elements.
• After Ao Changsheng collected the five Dao Fruits, the Tree of the Great Dao grew from one million zhang to twenty-nine million zhang.
• Yun Zhongzi arrived outside Changsheng’s Dao Field, bowed, and requested an audience with Senior Changsheng.

Yun Zhongzi visited Ao Changsheng to thank him for clearing the Calamity Sha Qi that had burdened Hongyun in his previous life. Ao Changsheng gave Yun Zhongzi the Dao Fusion Method as a fortuitous opportunity, and Yun Zhongzi left with a clearer path for his cultivation and a promise to care for the Human Race and Dragon Race where he could.

• Yun Zhongzi told Ao Changsheng that he had recovered his memories of Hongyun after reaching the Quasi-Sage realm and thanked him for removing the Calamity Sha Qi.
• Ao Changsheng explained that he had dealt with the Calamity Sha Qi through a transaction with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, not to help Yun Zhongzi personally.
• Yun Zhongzi promised to look after the Human Race and the Dragon Race as far as he was able.
• Ao Changsheng opened a spatial rift and gave Yun Zhongzi the Dao Fusion Method to help him resolve a hidden danger in his cultivation.
• Yun Zhongzi emerged from the rift delighted by the method, bowed to Changsheng's Dao Field, and departed toward the Human Race's Nine Provinces.

Yun Zhongzi entered Chaoge to investigate the living Yao Qi he sensed in the Yin Shang royal palace, but the Nine Provinces Barrier suppressed his abilities and Chaoge’s vast size slowed him down. After reaching the palace by Domain Gate, he suspected a Sage’s scheme and prepared a wooden sword to confront the monster, leaving the outcome to Yin Shang’s fortune.

• Yun Zhongzi sensed vigorous Yao Qi linked to Yin Shang’s fate inside the royal palace and entered Chaoge to investigate.
• A carriage driver offered Yun Zhongzi a ride, but Yun Zhongzi declined and set off toward the palace on foot.
• Yun Zhongzi realized Chaoge was too vast to cross quickly and followed the driver to a Domain Gate.
• Yun Zhongzi used the Domain Gate to reach the palace’s vicinity and confirmed that the Yao Qi was slowly absorbing Yin Shang’s fortune.
• Yun Zhongzi suspected a Sage was behind the monster and shaped a pine branch into a wooden treasured sword to confront it.

Yun Zhongzi left Chaoge after sensing that the demon-slaying sword had been destroyed, while Ji Chang found a rain-dried infant in Mount Yan and named him Lei Yuqing. As Guiling and Jinling worried that Ji Chang might give the reincarnated Purple Tenuity Star Spirit an embarrassing name, Yun Zhongzi appeared before Ji Chang’s convoy and faced Xiqi’s army formation.

• Yun Zhongzi sensed that the wooden sword he had given Di Xin was destroyed and decided he could do nothing more to interfere in the changing fortunes of the Human Race.
• During a storm on Mount Yan, Ji Chang divined that a general star had appeared and ordered his soldiers to search the mountain.
• A soldier brought Ji Chang a dry infant, whom Ji Chang named Lei Yuqing and reluctantly prepared to send back to Xiqi.
• Guiling and Jinling watched Ji Chang and worried that the reincarnated Purple Tenuity Star Spirit might receive an unsuitable name; Guiling secretly recorded Jinling’s worried expression.
• Yun Zhongzi stopped Ji Chang’s convoy, and Xiqi’s soldiers formed a battle formation while their general guarded against him.

Yun Zhongzi stopped Ji Chang’s convoy and took the general star, Lei Zhen, as his disciple, while Jinling and Guiling discussed the Chan Sect’s plans amid the coming tribulation. After Yun Zhongzi departed, the two women flew toward Xiqi to search for the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit’s reincarnation.

• Ji Chang divined that a mighty cultivator awaited the convoy, then met Yun Zhongzi, who asked to see the general star.
• Ji Chang handed his infant son to Yun Zhongzi, who named him Leizhenzi instead of Lei Tianqing and promised they would reunite after Ji Chang returned from Chaoge.
• Yun Zhongzi met Guiling and Jinling above the convoy and explained that taking the child as his disciple had given him ties to Xiqi.
• Jinling challenged Yun Zhongzi over the Chan Sect’s efforts to find disciples and avoid the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation, and Yun Zhongzi acknowledged her criticism without defending his master’s actions.
• Yun Zhongzi departed with Leizhenzi, and Guiling and Jinling continued toward Xiqi to seek the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit’s reincarnation.

Guiling and Jinling identified Bo Yikao as the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit’s reincarnation and plotted to ensure he died in the Immortal Slaughter Tribulation, while Guiling secretly suppressed his cultivation. When Guiling was discovered near Xiqi, a mysterious Quasi-Sage named Wude appeared through Xiqi’s providence, and Guiling realized he was not human.

• Jinling and Guiling recognized Bo Yikao as Ji Chang’s legitimate eldest son and the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit’s reincarnation, so they decided not to kill him directly but to prevent anyone from saving him during the tribulation.
• Guiling suppressed Bo Yikao’s cultivation as he spent years developing Xiqi and searching for a way to rescue his imprisoned father, Ji Chang.
• A mysterious figure used Xiqi’s providence to confront Guiling for bullying Bo Yikao, revealing that a powerful Quasi-Sage was watching over Xiqi.
• The figure named himself Wude and revealed his true form, and Guiling immediately recognized that he was not human.

Wude, Xiqi’s Phoenix Clan guardian, confronted Guiling over Bo Yikao’s deadly tribulation and challenged her to a fight, confident that Xiqi’s fortune would protect him from the Nine Provinces Barrier. Guiling revealed that she could wield immense power despite the barrier’s suppression, but Wude chose to fight anyway, and her vast hand seized him in the depths of the void.

• Wude questioned Guiling for obstructing Bo Yikao’s cultivation, while Guiling insisted she bore him no ill will.
• Wude explained that Bo Yikao’s fortune had become disconnected from Xiqi’s and that a fatal tribulation threatened him, then burned away Guiling’s obstructing Divine Ability.
• Wude and Guiling agreed to settle their dispute in a fight deep in the void, away from Xiqi.
• Wude transformed into his Phoenix form and used Xiqi’s fortune to resist the Nine Provinces Barrier, but Guiling’s immense Law Power made him realize she was not suppressed.
• Wude refused to surrender and charged Guiling, who seized him inside a vast hand formed from the void.

Guiling defeated Wude and made him promise to stop interfering in Bo Yikao’s affairs before letting him leave. Human Emperor Dayu then met with Guiling, thanked her for helping Wude, and began explaining why he had asked her to instruct the Phoenix Bird.

• Guiling trapped Wude in a small world, subdued him, and persuaded him to admit defeat.
• Wude promised not to interfere in Bo Yikao’s affairs again, and Guiling released him without demanding payment.
• Guiling called out Human Emperor Dayu, who emerged from the depths of the void.
• Dayu offered Guiling Spirit Treasures and Spirit Roots as payment, but Guiling refused them.
• Guiling asked why Dayu had wanted her to instruct Wude, and Dayu agreed to explain after asking her to keep the matter secret.

Dayu warned Guiling that Wude’s influence as Xiqi’s providence divine beast had likely made Bo Yikao arrogant and incautious. Guiling and Jinling decided that Bo Yikao needed a drastic, unforgettable experience, while Bo Yikao remained unaware of the danger approaching him.

• Dayu told Guiling that Wude’s character could influence Xiqi, especially Ji Chang and Bo Yikao, and that Ji Chang had shown signs of becoming less cautious and more conceited.
• Guiling realized that Bo Yikao’s conduct showed the same flaws and concluded that Wude’s influence had affected him deeply.
• Guiling thanked Dayu for warning her, then left to consult Jinling through their Divine Ability link.
• Jinling decided they might need to change their plan to send Bo Yikao onto the Investiture of the Gods and agreed that a grave illness called for strong medicine.
• Guiling and Jinling determined that Bo Yikao needed a dangerous experience that would teach him caution, while Bo Yikao shuddered in Xiqi City without noticing the warning.

While searching the Human Race’s Nine Provinces for reincarnated star gods, Jinling found her Jie Sect junior sister Shiji cultivating in Skull Mountain’s White Bone Cave. After visiting her, Jinling warned that the Nine Provinces would soon become the least peaceful place in the Primordial World and advised her to leave.

• Jinling sensed the Supreme Purity Immortal Method near a domain gate and followed it to Skull Mountain.
• Shiji recognized Jinling as a senior sister and welcomed her to the White Bone Cave.
• Jinling told Shiji that the names Skull Mountain and White Bone Cave were ill-suited to a place of secluded cultivation and advised her to change them.
• Jinling saw how bare Shiji’s cave was and urged her to furnish her cultivation grounds.
• Jinling warned Shiji that the Nine Provinces might soon become the least peaceful place in the Primordial World.

Jinling warned Shiji that the Nine Provinces would become a dangerous battleground and urged her to leave for Golden Turtle Island. After a Heaven-Shaking Arrow killed Shiji’s disciple Boy Biyun, Jinling traced it to Chentang Pass and suspected the Chan Sect, leaving Shiji fearing the two sects might clash over her attendant.

• Jinling told Shiji that the coming calamity would endanger her in the Nine Provinces, so Shiji agreed to leave for Golden Turtle Island.
• A streak of golden light struck Skull Mountain, and Jinling returned to find Boy Biyun dead with a bronze arrow through his neck and Girl Caiyun stunned nearby.
• Shiji arrived and identified the weapon as a Heaven-Shaking Arrow, explaining that it belonged with the Heaven and Earth Bow held by Li Jing of Chentang Pass.
• Jinling sensed that Li Jing’s fortune was closely tied to the Chan Sect and accused the sect of targeting the Jie Sect.
• Shiji realized Jinling believed the killing was connected to the Chan Sect and worried that the two sects would go to war over Boy Biyun.

Shiji captured Li Jing after finding the Heaven-Shaking Arrow that killed Boy Biyun and demanded he identify the culprit. Li Jing promised to bring the culprit to Skull Mountain, while True Person Taiyi watched from Mount Qianyuan, satisfied that the Jie Sect had taken the bait.

• Jinling told Shiji to act as usual and confront Chentang Pass, while secretly watching over her as the Chan Sect's scheme unfolded.
• Shiji reached Chentang Pass and captured Li Jing with the Eight Trigrams Cloudlight Handkerchief.
• At Skull Mountain, Shiji showed Li Jing the Heaven-Shaking Arrow that had killed Boy Biyun, and Li Jing denied firing it.
• Li Jing suspected he knew who had shot the arrow and promised to capture the culprit and bring them to Shiji.
• Shiji let Li Jing return to Chentang Pass and warned him not to bring back a false culprit.
• True Person Taiyi smiled from the Golden Light Cave, believing the Jie Sect had taken the bait.

Li Jing confronted Nezha after learning that Nezha’s arrow had killed Shiji’s attendant, and took him to White Bone Cave to answer for it. Jinling suspected True Person Taiyi was plotting against the Jie Sect, while Taiyi waited for Nezha to bring Shiji to him.

• Li Jing returned to the Li residence furious and told Madam Yin that Nezha had killed Shiji’s attendant with an arrow.
• Nezha admitted he had practiced with the Heaven and Earth Bow and Heaven-Shaking Arrow but denied knowing that he had killed anyone.
• Li Jing took Nezha to White Bone Cave on Skull Mountain to explain himself to Shiji, while Madam Yin hurried to contact True Person Taiyi.
• Jinling sensed Innate Indestructible Spirit Light in Nezha’s soul and wondered what Taiyi was plotting against the Jie Sect.
• True Person Taiyi recalled that Nezha was destined for the Investiture of the Gods and chose to wait for Nezha to bring Shiji to him.

Li Jing brought Nezha to White Bone Cave to answer for Boy Biyun’s death, but Nezha attacked Girl Caiyun and fought Shiji. After Shiji seized Nezha’s treasures and pursued him, Nezha escaped through a Domain Gate to True Person Taiyi’s Golden Light Cave and called for help.

• Li Jing told Shiji that Nezha had shot Boy Biyun and pleaded for leniency, and Shiji initially decided not to pursue the matter.
• Girl Caiyun went to fetch Nezha, but Nezha mistook her for Shiji and struck her with the Universe Ring, grievously injuring her.
• Shiji confronted Nezha and, after recognizing him as a Chan Sect disciple, subdued the Universe Ring and Heaven-Chaos Sash with her treasures.
• Nezha fled with Earth Escape, and Shiji chased him beyond Skull Mountain but struggled to catch him under the Nine Provinces Barrier.
• Nezha entered a Domain Gate to Mount Qianyuan and called to True Person Taiyi for help.

True Person Taiyi tried to kill Shiji after Nezha escaped to Mount Qianyuan, but Jinling arrived and rescued her. Jinling overwhelmed Taiyi and left him buried in the ground, demanding that he address her as Senior Sister Jinling.

• True Person Taiyi rescued Nezha from Shiji and refused to hand him over unless Celestial Venerable Yuanshi approved.
• Nezha claimed he had not knowingly killed Boy Biyun and accused Shiji of framing him for her treasures.
• Shiji confronted True Person Taiyi, who kept their fight looking even before trapping her in the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shroud.
• Jinling appeared and rescued Shiji from the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shroud.
• Jinling crushed True Person Taiyi into the ground with Law Power and ordered him to call her Senior Sister Jinling.

Jinling overwhelmed True Person Taiyi, then defeated Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian when they came to help him. She exposed the Chan Sect’s schemes to Nezha and showed him the truth hidden in Taiyi’s heart, leaving Nezha confused and troubled.

• Jinling repeatedly slammed True Person Taiyi into the ground until he called her Senior Sister Jinling.
• Jinling sensed Taiyi’s junior brothers arriving and knocked Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian’s spirit treasures aside before burying all three men.
• Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian joined forces with Taiyi, but Jinling defeated them and forced Taiyi to ask what she wanted.

• Jinling used her Divine Ability to show Nezha the emotions Taiyi had concealed, leaving Nezha staring at his master in confusion and anxiety.

Jinling exposed True Person Taiyi’s scheme to take Nezha’s providence, turning Nezha against his master and alarming Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian. Jinling left with Shiji while Nezha headed for Chentang Pass, and an unseen figure followed the departing Chan Sect disciples.

• Jinling rebuked True Person Taiyi, buried him in the ground, and declared she would expose the Chan Sect’s schemes and thwart them.
• Jinling revealed that True Person Taiyi planned to seize Nezha’s providence by making him abandon his human body and inhabit a spirit treasure incarnation.

• Jinling departed with Shiji, and True Person Taiyi decided to wait before trying to mend his relationship with Nezha.
• Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, True Person Puxian, and True Person Taiyi parted ways, unaware that a familiar figure was following them through the void.

Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian reconsidered True Person Taiyi’s scheme against Lingzhuzi after Daoist Randeng suggested that a Sage may have been involved. Randeng tried to draw them into his plans, then worried that Holy Mother Jinling’s power threatened his chance to become a Sage; Jinling ended by asking Shiji whether she blamed her for the failed attempt to capture Nezha.

• Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian discussed how daring True Person Taiyi had been to scheme against Lingzhuzi despite Sage Nüwa’s protection.
• Daoist Randeng appeared and implied that True Person Taiyi could not have schemed against a Sage without support from another Sage.
• Daoist Randeng gave Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun and True Person Puxian mysterious Method Formulas, told them to use them in their cultivation abodes, and refused to explain further.
• True Person Puxian realized that Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun was tempted by Randeng’s offer, while Randeng left hoping to draw them into his camp.
• Daoist Randeng feared that Holy Mother Jinling had reached the invincible domain of the Quasi-Sage realm and considered warning Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and the Western Sages about her.
• Jinling asked Shiji whether she blamed her for using her as bait when they had failed to capture True Person Taiyi or Nezha.
