Honghuang: I Avenge the Three Xiao Sisters at Lintong Pass!

He transmigrates to the Primordial World during the Investiture of the Gods era, becoming the personal disciple of the Three Xiao Sisters. As the first wisp of innate auspicious clouds to take human form, he achieves the Twelve-Petal Great Encompassment Golden Immortal stage at the end of the Investiture of the Gods.

Just as he breaks through to the Great Encompassment Golden Immortal realm, he encounters the Antarctic Immortal capturing Shen Gongbao and taking him to fill the Sea Eye. He receives a letter left by the Three Xiao Sisters, learns its contents, and realizes that his master has already fallen during the Investiture of the Gods. Xiao is furious!

He intervenes against the Antarctic Immortal, easily crushes him, and takes Shen Gongbao to Lintong Pass, thwarting the Chan Sect's grand plan.

Guangchengzi: You remnant of the Jie Sect, how dare you obstruct the grand course of Heaven's Dao?!

Xuanxiao: What kind of grand course of Heaven's Dao requires my master to be sacrificed?!

He takes on the Twelve Golden Immortals alone, with the chosen golden finger that lets him go toe-to-toe with anyone.

Even if Randeng or Lu Ya showed up, they would still be evenly matched.

The Heavenly Dao Sage Zhunti arrives and says, "Fellow Daoist, you are destined to have a connection with the West!"

Xuanxiao roars, "What connection? What destiny?! I cultivate the Great Dao of Balance, and I shall defy Heaven and strike down a sage!"

With his own strength, Xuanxiao blocks the Chan Sect's grand plan and the grand course of Heaven's Dao, saving the fate and fortune of the human emperor from ruin.
