Unable to return to the Tian Yuan Great World in his true body, he received congratulations from the White-clothed Woman, the White-haired Elder, and the Bewitching Beautiful Woman.

• The hook-nosed old man reported how Lu Qing had survived the nine Great Dao intents, killed the six cultivators, and taken the Six Harmonies Heavenly Demon Array Diagram.

• Lu Qing dismissed the watching cultivators, who departed in awe as some recognized him and news of the three breakthroughs began to spread.

• Lu Qing arrived at the Myriad Manifestations Dao Sect with Five Treasures Daoist and Xiao Yan, and Five Treasures publicly accused Shao Sidao of killing Yun Shu and devouring her origin.
