• Jiang Sheng told Mingxian and Xuanyi that he had defeated Qiyuan after hundreds of exchanges by drawing him into a prepared trap, but he could not say whether Qiyuan had survived.

After Jiang Sheng’s Heaven-Cutting Sword left Zhong Yuxiu crippled, Flame Emperor brought Daoist Lord Qiantian to the Fire Virtue Origin World, where Qiantian gave his disciple one last chance to recover. Zhong Yuxiu received a flask containing Pure Yang Qi and realized that the gift had made him a prisoner with no hope of freedom.

• Zhong Yuxiu’s Three Calamities Sword Intent flared when he circulated his cultivation method, and he asked Flame Emperor to summon his master rather than risk returning to the Jiuzhou World.
