• Lin Xuan followed Yue'er into the Ancient Cave and found himself alone in a desolate, illusion-like space.
• The illusion showed Lin Xuan his childhood hardships, his failures at Floating Cloud Valley, and his death at Zhou Yan's hands before the ghosts of those he had killed attacked his soul.

• A Two-Headed Four-Armed Monster ambushed Wang Tinglou, who cut it in half with two Sword Rays.

After the restriction’s Great Thunder Sound Technique stunned him, Yue'er offered to try breaking it.

• The blue-robed old man warned Iron Tyrant King that Split Souls of powerful beings could descend and cultivate up to Lihe, prompting him to wait for his subordinates before seeking the treasure.
