After Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie became pregnant from drinking the pregnancy spring, the Wukong Clone headed to Jieyang Mountain to fetch water from the Abortion Spring. Xiao Xie secretly went to Poison Enemy Mountain to subdue the Scorpion Demon, but she became attracted to him and declared that he would be her husband.

Maitreya Buddha investigated Yellow-Browed Monster’s death and the theft of his treasures, then concluded that the black-robed killer might be a traitor within Buddhism.

• Xiao Xie killed Sai Tai Sui with the God Demon Sword, took the Purple Golden Bell, and slaughtered the cave's lesser demons.

After returning to the Raging Sand Grotto-Heaven, Xiao Xie brought Jin Sheng Palace into his growing circle of followers and later received a map locating the Nine Great Springs.

• Yang Chan went to Chang'e's room that night, and the next morning arrived without revealing what they had discussed.

Xiao Xie teased Chang'e before the story jumped ahead three years, when Wukong Clone reached Vulture Peak with Tang Sanzang and killed him, destroying Golden Cicada's soul and Buddhism's plan for prosperity. As Tathagata and the other Buddhists confronted him, Wukong Clone revealed that he had agreed to the pilgrimage to take revenge on Tathagata, then feigned regret when Bodhi Ancestor appeared.

• Xiao Xie drew an Ultra Instinct Skill Card, crushed it, and learned to enter the state.
• Xiao Xie had the Six Ears Clone and Nine Heads Clone test Ultra Instinct, finding that it greatly increased their fighting strength but weakened their ability to respond to attacks aimed at others.
• Xiao Xie compared the clones’ enhanced strength, noting that the Bull Demon Clone could approach quasi-saint strength while using Ultra Instinct.
• Xiao Xie identified the second draw as the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, an innate spiritual treasure of twenty-four pearls from Investiture of the Gods.

Xiao Xie discovered that the Sea Stabilizing Pearls were twenty-four Lesser Thousand World Pearls and decided how to use them. He spent four to unlock four World Shops, found little he could use in them, and kept the other twenty for a future exchange.

• Xiao Xie learned from Xiao Xiao that the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Pearls were Lesser Thousand World Pearls and decided to save twenty for the Zhu Xian Four Swords.
• Xiao Xie exchanged four Sea Stabilizing Pearls for four World Shop draws, and Xiao Xiao added shops for Transformers, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Chinese Paladin 4, and Akame ga Kill!.
