Chu Xinghe turned Vast Heaven’s Good Voice into a spectacle of open favoritism, then Bai Jingyan’s performance revealed the Heaven-Cleansing Divine Sound and brought enlightenment to listeners across two continents. The show left Chu Xinghe’s cultivation intact and the crowds celebrating, while a pointed-eared man from the Spirit Beast Continent began investigating.

• Ma Liang brought Bai Jingyan to Haotian Tower, where Chu Xinghe ordered Lu Chengqing to announce her as the annual champion before the competition and publicly revealed her connection to Ma Liang.

Chu Xinghe’s recruitment of the Shadow Rat brothers unexpectedly turned them into a source of wealth for the Vast Heaven Sect, while Hua Xizhong’s reconnaissance revealed the sect’s strength and led the Spirit Beast Continent toward cooperation. The Spirit Communication Pagoda opened, and the first contest began with Hua Xichen’s predictions repeatedly warning of defeat.
