• Lin Xuan examined the ruins and inferred from the remains and Dharma Treasures that the Ink Moon Tribe had once rivaled the Luo Clan of Heavenly Province.

• Peacock Fairy explained that the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Phoenix were born from the Peacock Great Wisdom King, making the blood especially valuable to her.
• Peacock Fairy revealed that the blood contained a remnant soul, which had overwhelmed her soul and taken control of her body.

Lin Xuan realized the Golden-Winged Great Peng's remnant soul was gradually weakening Peacock's Primordial Spirit, and the couple searched ancient records for a way to save her. They found a clue beneath a small cauldron in the ruins, where an inscription mentioned Netherfire and a secret treasure.

• Lin Xuan told Peacock that the remnant soul was growing stronger as it weakened her Primordial Spirit, and she accepted the danger without panicking.

• Lin Xuan reasoned that the answer might lie in the ruins where the Golden-Winged Great Peng's true blood and remnant soul had been found.
• Lin Xuan searched the ruins while Peacock examined the hall and spotted writing beneath a small cauldron.
• Peacock read the inscription aloud: “When Netherfire emerges, the secret treasure appears.”
