• Youqiongshi arrived as the Yellow Tiger Demon God was about to claim the former Yuankan Tribe territory for the Demon Race.
• Youqiongshi claimed Great Witch Yuankan had entrusted the territory to him, and the Yellow Tiger Demon God could not challenge the claim without risking a fight with a fellow Great Luo expert.

• Lin Yunji gave Lingzhuzi the Ten-Thousand-Li Sea-Overturning Bottle and described how it could capture people and refine them into seawater.

Lin Yunji rewarded Lingzhuzi with a powerful Innate Spirit Treasure, then sensed a change and hurried into seclusion. Nüwo and the others thought he was about to break through, but he had actually spent ten thousand years unlocking the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda’s new levels and was drawn to the fourth level’s refinement function.

• Lin Yunji gave Lingzhuzi the Ten-Thousand-Li Sea-Overturning Bottle and warned him not to use it at the next spell-fighting tournament.
• Lin Yunji sensed something, ended the tournament, and hurried into seclusion, leaving Nüwo and the others to speculate that he was about to advance.
• Lin Yunji’s third level of the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda opened, granting it the power to capture and imprison enemies.
• Lin Yunji learned that the pagoda’s fourth level could refine, and its fifth level also had a function he had been told about in advance.

Lin Yunji saved Exchange Points for more than ten thousand years to open the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda’s fifth floor, hoping to use its crafting function to produce powerful puppets and treasures. When he entered the new floor, the system detected a Universe Furnace Reflection and evolved his Heaven and Earth Furnace Cultivation Method into the Universe Furnace.

• Lin Yunji learned that the pagoda’s fourth floor could refine materials and its fifth floor could craft Primordial Expanse Spirit Treasures and Hunyuan Great Dao Sage puppets without spending Exchange Points on each creation.
• The system confirmed that the pagoda could make puppets stronger than Lin Yunji, so he decided to save enough Exchange Points to open both floors.
• After more than ten thousand years, the system notified Lin Yunji that he had enough Exchange Points to open the fifth floor, and he confirmed the purchase for 100 billion Exchange Points.
• The fifth floor opened as a vast space resembling a Heaven and Earth Furnace, and Lin Yunji sensed a connection to his cultivation method.
• The system extracted principles from a Universe Furnace Reflection and evolved Lin Yunji’s Heaven and Earth Furnace into the Universe Furnace, which he could currently cultivate to its third layer.

Lin Yunji used the fifth floor of the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda to cultivate the Universe Furnace method, pushing his physical body to the Twelfth Stage of Hunyuan Great Dao Sage. He then refined a First-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage puppet in the Devil Master's likeness.

• Lin Yunji discovered that the fifth floor simulated the Universe Furnace and activated its reflection to cultivate his body.
• Lin Yunji devoured the pagoda's accumulated essence Qi, shaking the Primordial World and alarming Yuanshi, Tongtian, Houtu, and Old Ancestor Hongjun.
• Lin Yunji's Universe Furnace Cultivation Method reached its second layer, and his physical body advanced to the Twelfth Stage of Hunyuan Great Dao Sage.
• Lin Yunji withdrew his power to avoid damaging the Primordial World and realized he could now defeat the Devil Master with a single finger.
• Lin Yunji used the remaining essence Qi to refine a First-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage puppet resembling the Devil Master, and the puppet knelt before him.

Lin Yunji tested a First-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage puppet and found it far too weak to help him. He realized that refining stronger puppets would require vast resources, and began considering the Source Realm as a source of powerful enemies while preparing for its inhabitants to make their next move.

• Lin Yunji ordered the puppet, which resembled the Devil Master, to attack him, then effortlessly stopped its punch with one finger.
• Lin Yunji asked the system how long the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda would need to refine a Twelfth-Stage Hunyuan Great Dao Sage puppet and learned it would take about eighteen thousand seven hundred years.
• The system explained that dense Chaos Qi currents or refining high-quality Law Treasures and powerful Chaos beings could speed up the pagoda's accumulation of Chaos Essence Qi.
• Lin Yunji decided the Source Realm's powerful inhabitants could provide suitable targets, but chose to wait for them to come to him while he continued cultivating.
• Lin Yunji sent the weak puppet back into the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda and refined it into Chaos Essence Qi.

After opening the fifth floor of the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda, Lin Yunji emerged from seclusion with his physical body at the Twelfth Stage of Hunyuan Great Dao Sage, though his Great Dao cultivation had not improved. He told Nüwo and the others that the realm above Hunyuan Great Dao Sage was Supreme Primordial Unity, then insisted it was not as far away as they imagined.

• Lin Yunji came out of seclusion after spending all his Exchange Points opening the fifth floor of the Primordial Expanse Glazed Pagoda, and told Nüwo that his Great Dao cultivation had not advanced.

As news of his breakthrough frightened the Demon Race, a mysterious giant hand seized a Sage-level kun fish in the Chaos beyond the Primordial World.

• Lin Yunji explained that proven cultivation paths accelerated progress and revealed that the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu bore fruits capable of helping someone reach Hunyuan Great Dao Sage.
• Lin Yunji said the fruits were unripe and required the user to reach the Twelfth Stage of Hunyuan Heavenly Dao Sage, then warned Bixiao against laziness and dependence on external aid.

• The old Daoist said five Source Venerables had saved the Source Realm fragment, though he had never seen them or learned their Daoist names.

Lin Yunji learned that Ancestor Wujie had sent the hunched old Daoist on his own, without the backing of the Source Realm’s other Supremes. After the Daoist pledged to serve him, Lin Yunji spared him and asked for details about Wujie, leaving him confident that Wujie was the only force he needed to face.

• The hunched old Daoist explained that Ancestor Wujie was one of 103 Supremes in the Source Realm and ranked near the bottom.
• Lin Yunji realized Wujie had acted alone, and the hunched old Daoist offered to serve him to save his life.
• Lin Yunji withdrew his pressure, spared the hunched old Daoist, and invited him to sit.
• The hunched old Daoist said the Source Realm was not a unified force and that no other Supreme had been involved in Wujie’s plans.
• The hunched old Daoist described Wujie’s Chaos Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella, Wujie Palace, and followers.

Lin Yunji learned why Ancestor Wujie had sent Bailou to retrieve the Chaos Pearl instead of coming himself: the Source Realm’s Supremes guarded their interests, and the pearl’s appearance could draw them into conflict. After Lin Yunji revealed that he, too, had reached the tenth stage of the Hunyuan Great Dao Sage realm, Bailou was left astonished.

• Bailou explained that Ancestor Wujie stayed in the Source Realm to keep other Supremes from learning about the Chaos Pearl and attacking.
• Lin Yunji understood why the Devil Master and Ancestor Wujie had coveted the Chaos Pearl and ordered Bailou to remain with him.
• Bailou introduced himself as a woodlouse from the Source Realm who had survived its destruction and reached the tenth stage of the Hunyuan Great Dao Sage realm.
• Lin Yunji revealed that he had also reached the tenth stage, leaving Bailou staring at him in disbelief.
• Lin Yunji reflected that his cultivation had advanced only two stages in thousands of years, while Bailou had spent countless epochs reaching the same realm.

Old Daoist Bailou realized Lin Yunji had nearly become a supreme through physical cultivation and accepted that he could not oppose him. Years later, the Witch Clan’s former dominion had faded from memory across the Primordial Wilderness Continent.

• Old Daoist Bailou judged Lin Yunji’s power to exceed that of ordinary great dao sages, and Lin Yunji confirmed that his body had nearly reached the supreme realm.

• Many years passed, and the Witch Clan’s rule over the Primordial Wilderness faded from memory as its ruins disappeared.

• Lin Yunji and Suirenshi surveyed the Sacred City from the Stargazing Tower, where Lin Yunji joked that the tower should become a tourist attraction.
• Lin Yunji praised the Human Race’s growth and credited both its own efforts and the protection of its guardians.
• Lin Yunji asked Suirenshi how the Human Race and Demon Race were getting along, and Suirenshi first claimed their relations were harmonious.
• Lin Yunji saw through Suirenshi’s lie and ordered him to speak honestly.
• Suirenshi explained that the Demon Race’s growing power and its younger generation’s hostility had led to three thousand years of killings, including demons slaughtering entire human cities.
• Suirenshi said that he, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi had stationed Daluo experts across human territories to guard against attacks, while the Human Race could do little else but endure.

• At the Demon Court’s minor assembly, Fuxi worried that the Demon Race’s growing conflict with the Human Race would lead to war, and Shangyang tried to reassure him about the Divine Venerable.

The Sages of Jade Wanderer Palace and Empress Wa Palace ordered their disciples into thousand-year seclusion as the Primordial World’s heavenly secrets fell into Chaos. In the barren Western lands, Bodhisattva Jinnaluo witnessed a terrifying figure emerge from the earth, radiating power that suggested a Late-stage Quasi-Sage or stronger.

At Earth Snail City, Great Immortal Diluó faced pleas to admit fleeing demons while the city’s residents warned that doing so could endanger everyone inside.

• Daoist Mosquito’s blood mist devoured Great Immortal White Dew, Heihu, and the demons of Black Mist Cave Abode, then killed Demon God Black Mist.

• Great Immortal Diluó let the demons fleeing the blood mist into Earth Snail City, then closed the barrier after they had all entered.
