Chen Shi defeated Du Yiran and Sha Qiutong and sealed Chen Yindu’s cultivation, leaving him helpless in Biyou Palace.

• Chen Yindu argued that Chen Shi’s talismans might be preferable to the existing immortal and divine paths, though he worried about Chen Shi’s demonic nature, and planned to join forces with the ragdoll to stop him.

As the Immortal Court and other powers assessed the talismans’ impact, they expected the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate to move against Chen Shi soon.
