Fairy Yutong explained that the Silk Luo Jade Talisman True Person Huayu had entrusted to her preserved her memories, and Lin Xuan revealed that he possessed two matching talismans.

• The Light Arc began emitting repulsive Laws of Heaven and Earth, blocking everyone still outside.

• The author’s note identified the Black-Clad Girl as the Heavenly Witch Goddess, now an Outer-Domain Heavenly Demon who possessed the Nine Palaces Instantaneous Sword.
