Trapped in a mysterious space after Hundun was eaten by Little Fur Ball, Lin Xuan decided to comprehend a domain there so he could escape. He found the space’s only patch of land, a small Cold Pool, while Yue'er and Xiao Die searched for him in the Yutong Realm.

• Lin Xuan repeatedly directed his divine sense toward the Bailing Seal, and a sudden change occurred after more than ten attempts.

Lin Xuan used the Bailing Seal to transform the Sacred Flat Peach Fruit, then ate a tiny piece and entered a mysterious space to test its effects. Finding no Laws of Heaven and Earth there, he realized he might be able to create laws himself, beginning his attempt to comprehend a domain.

• The Bailing Seal absorbed the silver lights and Lin Xuan’s magic power, then released golden specks that he used to purify the Sacred Flat Peach Fruit.
