• Chonglou explained that Zhao Li’s Buddha heart had changed during his soul’s absence and that his returned soul, Buddha-nature, and demonic cultivation had made him half Buddha and half demon.

• Zhao Li’s mantra produced black Buddhist light and a demonic swastika seal that destroyed the mountain and corrupted the land for a hundred li.
• Zhao Li accepted that his combined powers were formidable and reflected on his Bodhisattva Fruit Status, ninth-order cultivation, and the danger of comprehending Origin Laws in the Pendulum World.

Zhao Li recognized how abnormal the Pendulum World was, with hundreds of Ancient Gods wielding Origin Laws and few powerful beings beneath them. After deciding to solicit alms to pay off his debt, he disguised himself as Wutian and flew toward Space Temple.

• Zhao Li considered how his Bodhisattva Fruit Status and united Buddha-and-devil powers made him nearly invincible among the Pendulum World's living beings.

• Zhao Li appeared before the old Arhat, called himself Wutian, and asked him to spare a little as alms.

• The old Arhat monk stared in disbelief at Zhao Li’s black Ninth-grade Lotus Platform and struggled to understand how he could possess both Buddhist Light and Demonic Qi.
• Zhao Li declared himself both Buddha and demon, and the old monk nearly fell into demonhood before regaining his composure.
• The old monk put the other monks in the Buddhist Domain to sleep to protect them from Zhao Li’s Heavenly Demonic Qi.
• Zhao Li told the old monk he had come to solicit alms and demanded ninety percent of Space Temple’s resources, then offered to accept eighty percent.
• The old monk agreed and handed Zhao Li a storage string of Buddhist prayer beads containing the temple’s resources.
• Zhao Li refined the prayer beads and took exactly eighty percent of the resources inside.

• Duan Tianya and the others were moved by Zhu Wushi's affection, and he was satisfied that his plan had worked.

Zhu Wushi told his adopted children about Myriad Worlds City and sent them into seclusion before sneaking into the imperial palace to obtain Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom for Suxin. He confronted Cao Zhengchun in the Eastern Depot and demanded the precious herb, while Cao Zhengchun feared the powerful experts surrounding the emperor.

• Cao Zhengchun returned and found Zhu Wushi waiting; Zhu Wushi offered him cold tea and demanded his Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.
• Cao Zhengchun realized Zhu Wushi knew about the herb and worried about the many master-level experts serving the emperor.

Cao Zhengchun surrendered when he saw the Emperor’s formidable guards, then attacked Zhu Wushi and was instantly defeated. Mistaking Zhu Wushi for a Grandmaster, Cao Zhengchun revealed that the Emperor had already taken the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.
