• Marquis Heaven Origin arrived after they entered and used the Tracking Secret Technique taught by the True Immortal to sense Lin Xuan's location.
• The True Immortal explained that the technique could track Lin Xuan even through Shattering the Void, but its tracking mark would disappear after a limited time.

Lin Xuan followed Daoist Lingji to a shattered interface said to contain an Immortal's cultivation cave, where he exposed Lingji as a puppet and learned the trip was a trap. Lingji attacked him, and Lin Xuan met the puppet's punch with one of his own.

• Lin Xuan found the white jade platform and identified the shrine's inscription as True Person Huayu.

• Lin Xuan discovered that the cave suppressed his divine sense, prevented him from using the laws and his domain, and resolved to find Yue'er while keeping a low profile.

Lin Xuan drove off no enemy himself as the Scorpion Monster unexpectedly retreated, allowing him to break the Herb Garden’s restriction and collect mysterious five-colored spirit fruits. He continued searching the Small Immortal Domain for Yue'er and Xiao Die, while Marquis Heaven Origin failed to claim a treasure guarded by an ape; more than a month later, Lin Xuan had found other treasures but still had no sign of the two women.

• Lin Xuan prepared to fight the Scorpion Monster, but it abruptly saluted him and returned to the lake.
