Great Demon Qijing confronted Lin Yunji, seeking revenge for their past battle, but was stunned to discover that Lin Yunji had also reached the Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal realm and seemed stronger. After claiming protection as one of the Demon Race’s ten great demon gods, Qijing warned Lin Yunji not to attack him, and Lin Yunji suddenly vanished before Lady Nüwa could finish her warning.

• Lady Nüwa sensed a Daluo Golden Immortal approaching, and Lin Yunji recognized the presence as Great Demon Qijing, whom he had defeated more than thirty thousand years earlier.
• Great Demon Qijing arrived, boasted of his recovery and rise in cultivation, and threatened to torment Lin Yunji in revenge.

Lin Yunji used the Space Principle to kill Great Demon Qijing, earning Cultivation Points while the system diverted half to Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron. After Lady Nüwa praised and warned him, he teased her into promising to protect him, leaving them together after the battle.

• Great Demon Qijing panicked when Lin Yunji appeared and revealed mastery of the Space Principle, then invoked Dijun and Taiyi to try to deter him.
• Lin Yunji trapped Great Demon Qijing in a spatial prison and crushed his body and Primordial Spirit with violet-gold lightning.
• The system rewarded Lin Yunji with 200000 Cultivation Points and automatically transferred half to Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron.
• Lin Yunji returned to Lady Nüwa, who praised his strength and warned him that the Demon Race might retaliate.
• Lin Yunji joked that Lady Nüwa was his powerful backer, and she promised that no one would dare harm him while she was there.

Dijun and Taiyi learned that Lin Yunji had killed Demon God Qijing, but Dijun restrained Taiyi from retaliating because of Lin Yunji’s powerful connections. Dijun then proposed using Qijing’s death as a pretext to attack the Witch Clan.

• Taiyi urged Dijun to wipe out the Witch Clan, but a demon general rushed in with news that Demon God Qijing’s Primordial Spirit tablet had shattered.
• Dijun used a bronze mirror to reveal that Lin Yunji had killed Qijing while Lady Nüwa watched without intervening.
• Taiyi vowed to kill Lin Yunji, but Dijun told him to wait because the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and Daoist Fuxi complicated the situation.
• Taiyi worried that failing to avenge Qijing would make the Demon Race look weak, so Dijun suggested turning Qijing’s death into a reason to attack the Witch Clan.

Dijun and Taiyi concealed that Lin Yunji killed Demon God Qijing, blamed Houtu, and prepared to attack the Witch Clan. As Lin Yunji reassured Nüwa and set off with her, Taiyi announced the coming war to the Primordial Wilderness, prompting a powerful response from twelve presences.

• Countless beings panicked and withdrew from the coming conflict, while twelve powerful presences surged toward the Heavenly Court with murderous intent.

Dijun and Taiyi used Great Demon Qijing’s death as a pretext to declare war on the Witch Clan, and Lin Yunji and Lady Nüwa recognized that the accusation might be an excuse. Three days later, the armies met, Taiyi injured Zhurong with the Eastern Emperor Bell, and Dijiang ordered the Witch Clan to charge.

• Dijiang accepted Dijun’s challenge to fight three days later and mocked the Demon Race’s accusation over Great Demon Qijing’s death.
• Lin Yunji told Lady Nüwa that Dijun and Taiyi might already know who killed Great Demon Qijing and were using the incident as an excuse to attack the Witch Clan.

The Witch Clan and Demon Race fought a months-long, devastating war, and the Demon Race began forming the Zhou Heavenly Star Grand Formation to counter the ancestral witches. As the formation was completed, Lin Yunji’s system detected it and started copying it.

• Dijiang led the Witch Clan’s warriors into battle, while Dijun rallied the Demon Race against them.
• Dijun, Taiyi, Fuxi, and the ancestral witches fought among the stars as both armies suffered enormous losses.
• Lady Nüwa watched the slaughter and questioned whether either race could rule heaven and earth.
• The ancestral witches gained a slight advantage, so Dijun called on Taiyi, Fuxi, and the Demon Race experts to form the Zhou Heavenly Star Grand Formation.
• Dijun summoned the River Diagram and Luo Shu, and 365 experts took their positions to complete the formation.
• Lin Yunji’s system detected the completed formation and began copying it.

Lin Yunji’s system copied the Zhou Heavenly Star Grand Formation and the Twelve Heavenly Divine Sha Formation onto the bones of his right palm, revealing that he could use both once he reached the Quasi-Sage realm. As the Witch and Demon formations confronted each other, Lin Yunji told Lady Nüwa he would eventually summon them himself, but she dismissed his claim.

• The system copied the Zhou Heavenly Star Grand Formation, and black Dao patterns appeared on nearly half of Lin Yunji’s right palm bones.
• Lin Yunji learned that reaching the Quasi-Sage realm would let him activate a formation with power comparable to Dijun’s Zhou Heavenly Star Grand Formation.
• Dijun used the Zhou Heavenly Star Grand Formation to strike Gonggong down and taunted Dijiang about the Witch Clan’s impending defeat.
• Dijiang led the Twelve Ancestral Witches in forming the Twelve Heavenly Divine Sha Formation, summoning a phantom of Pangu.
• The system copied the Twelve Heavenly Divine Sha Formation, and matching Dao patterns spread across the rest of Lin Yunji’s right palm bones.
• Lin Yunji told Lady Nüwa he would one day summon both formations himself, but she rolled her eyes and called his claim a boast.

The Witch Clan and Demon Race’s formations clashed to a stalemate before Haotian and Yaochi delivered Hongjun’s decree, ending the battle. Afterward, Yaochi asked to travel the Primordial Wilderness with Lin Yunji, while Haotian returned to report to Hongjun.

• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and Dijun’s Demon Race fought with their grand formations until both formations shattered and their leaders suffered severe injuries.

• Dijun and Dijiang accepted the decree and led their races away, ending the battle without a victor.
• Lin Yunji and Lady Nüwa greeted Haotian and Yaochi, and Haotian and Yaochi credited Lin Yunji’s Purple Heart Azure Firmament Fruit for their cultivation progress.
• Yaochi asked to travel the Primordial Wilderness with Lin Yunji, and Haotian agreed before returning to report to Hongjun.

Lin Yunji, Lady Nüwa, and Yaochi spent a century traveling together before finding a beautiful waterfall and going down to explore it. As they joked by the pool, the Dao markings on Lin Yunji’s left-hand bones stirred, drawing his attention toward the waterfall.

• Lady Nüwa spotted a spectacular waterfall, and Yaochi eagerly asked to go down and play in the water.
• Lin Yunji teased Yaochi about watching her swim, and the three landed on the bank.
• Lin Yunji felt the black Dao markings on his left-hand bones grow warm and tremble as something drew him toward the waterfall.

Lin Yunji investigated a waterfall after the black Dao patterns on his left-hand bones reacted to it. Behind the waterfall, he discovered a cave abode with an Ancient Heaven-Concealing Formation and a miniature chaos world, and he glimpsed a raised platform within.

• Yaochi and Lady Nüwa played in the pool while Lin Yunji headed toward the waterfall to investigate.

• The system began copying the formation, and black Dao patterns appeared across the bones of Lin Yunji's left arm, granting him insight into it.
• Lin Yunji passed through the formation and entered a miniature chaos world, where he saw a raised platform in the distance.

Lin Yunji discovered the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu, a Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure, and claimed it along with the Five-Colored Stones and Heaven-Refining Furnace. He left the cave abode as the system began awarding him Cultivation Points.

• Lin Yunji saw a sapling above a three-legged cauldron and learned from the system that it was the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu.
• Lin Yunji obtained the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu and learned that its three leaves each represented a concealed world.
• Lin Yunji recognized the five-colored stones as Lady Nüwa’s Five-Colored Stones and the cauldron as the Heaven-Refining Furnace, then stored both away.
• Lin Yunji reflected that he and Lady Nüwa benefited each other through their shared discoveries, then left as the miniature chaotic world dissipated.
• The system announced that Lin Yunji would receive Cultivation Points for obtaining the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu.

Lin Yunji’s system rewards from obtaining the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu triggered a breakthrough in his secret method and cultivation, greatly strengthening his body and advancing him to the Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He rejoined Lady Nüwa and Yaochi, and Lady Nüwa reacted with disbelief at how quickly he had changed.

• The system awarded Lin Yunji one million Cultivation Points for obtaining the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu and used half to advance Heaven and Earth Furnace Cauldron to its first level.
• Lin Yunji absorbed Innate Spiritual Qi as his body was reforged, his understanding of the Dao deepened, and his physical strength grew to match an Acquired Supreme Treasure.
• Lin Yunji discovered that his remaining Cultivation Points had advanced him to the Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, then left the cave abode behind the waterfall.
• Lady Nüwa and Yaochi wondered where Lin Yunji had gone until he emerged from behind the waterfall.
• Lady Nüwa sensed Lin Yunji’s new realm and formidable physical strength, and asked whether his sudden transformation was a surprise or a shock.

Lin Yunji told Lady Nüwa and Yaochi that a spirit fruit from a cave behind a waterfall had caused his breakthrough, then gave Nüwa the Heaven-Refining Furnace and Five-Colored Stones. The gifts completed a system mission and triggered a Purple Gold Bamboo bloodline upgrade, leaving Lin Yunji alarmed by his rapidly increasing power.

• Lady Nüwa explained that Lin Yunji had advanced from Early-stage to Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal and gained immense physical strength.

• Lin Yunji presented Lady Nüwa with the Heaven-Refining Furnace and Five-Colored Stones, which she accepted.
• The system rewarded Lin Yunji with 50,000 Cultivation Points for making Nüwa happy and upgraded his bloodline to Purple Gold Bamboo.
• Lin Yunji felt his body, comprehension, and cultivation surge, and he angrily suspected the system was deliberately raising his power.
• Lady Nüwa teased Lin Yunji about taking back the gifts, then declared the Heaven-Refining Furnace and Five-Colored Stones hers.

After five hundred years of traveling together, Lin Yunji, Lady Nüwa, and Yaochi returned to the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall for Sage Hongjun’s third lecture. Lin Yunji’s breakthrough to the Mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm stunned the gathered cultivators, and Cult Master Tongtian proudly welcomed his disciple.

• Lin Yunji reassured Lady Nüwa and Yaochi that they could travel together again, then they flew toward the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall.

As Daoist Hongjun began the third lecture, he announced it would be his last before he merged with the Dao, leaving the gathered figures distressed at losing the opportunity to hear him preach.

• Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Laozi, and Cult Master Tongtian praised Lin Yunji’s strength and asked about his recent encounters, but he refused to tell them.
• Lin Yunji’s teasing made Cult Master Tongtian flare up, while Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, Laozi, and Lady Nüwa laughed.
• Dijun and Taiyi worried that Lin Yunji’s breakthrough made him a greater threat, but Dijun hesitated to attack because of the Three Pure Ones.
• The doors of the Purple Treasure Firmament Hall opened, and Lin Yunji entered with the others and sat behind Cult Master Tongtian as the gathered figures discussed his behavior.
• Daoist Hongjun appeared and announced that this was his final lecture before he merged with the Dao, prompting the gathered figures to lament his departure.

Hongjun ended his sermon, chose disciples, and distributed treasures before merging with the Dao. Outside the hall, the powerful figures noticed Lin Yunji staring at the Heavenly Scar Fragment, while he remained focused on claiming it rather than regretting the chance to become Hongjun’s disciple.

• Hongjun preached for thirty thousand years while Lin Yunji refined the Heaven-Reaching Jianmu and failed to finish refining it.
• Hongjun accepted Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Lady Nüwa as disciples, and Jieyin and Zhunti as Registered Disciples, giving them treasures and Primordial Expanse purple qi.
• Hongjun gave Hongyun a strand of Primordial Expanse purple qi, then sent the powerful figures to the Treasure-Dividing Cliff with Haotian and Yaochi.
• Hongjun merged with the Dao as the powerful figures watched the jade butterfly rise above the hall.
• The powerful figures realized Lin Yunji had given up a lotus seat and expected him to regret it, but he ignored them and focused on the Heavenly Scar Fragment.
