The War of the Investiture of the Gods comes to an end. The Chan Sect defeats the Jie Sect, the Three Cloud Maidens are taken away by the Investiture List, Hongjun merges with the Dao, and the Three Pure Ones withdraw from the world. The Heavenly Court rules the Three Realms, while the human world enters an age of contention among a hundred schools of thought. Beneath the surface, the calamity of Journey to the West is already stirring. After enduring calamity after calamity, the primordial world is running out of foundations, and the Great Dao faces hidden dangers. Lin Xuan, a modern history enthusiast who knows the stories of the Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West by heart, transmigrates into a mortal cultivator who washes ashore on the Three Immortal Isles after the war. He bears the lingering essence of a Chaos Dao Body and has an innate affinity for formations. By repairing a damaged formation with his innate Dao-heart for formations, he earns the approval of the Three Cloud Maidens' remnant souls. He inherits part of the power of the Primordial Golden Dipper, the source of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and the Jie Sect's unorthodox formation techniques, vowing to save the Three Cloud Maidens and restore their cultivation. Later, he receives power from the Lord of Heaven, Tongtian, and becomes a secret disciple of the Jie Sect. Using formations to travel throughout the primordial world, he spreads the Dao and establishes formations amid the contention of a hundred schools. During Journey to the West, he takes on disciples and protects the Dharma. He creates the Chaos Spirit-Transforming Grand Formation to restore the primordial world's foundations, ultimately attains the status of a Primordial Chaos Sage, breaks the Investiture List to save the Three Cloud Maidens, and helps the primordial world transcend.
