• Ye Ling confirmed that the knight was Long Xingyu, leaving Li Xin stunned that she had missed the chance to see the Slaughter Throne.

Ye Ling learned he could enter Knight Holy Mountain to seek a Demon Beast Partner, then used the time waiting at Nalan Shu's Office to prepare to break the seals on his Golden Dragon King bloodline. He began overcoming the third seal with medicinal treasures, leaving open the possibility that he would push beyond it.

• Li Xin took Ye Ling, Cai'er, and Long Haochen to Nalan Shu's Office, where Long Haochen went to deliver Long Xingyu's letter.

• Ye Ling began trying to overcome the third seal and considered breaking further seals if the medicinal treasures could sustain him.

• Ye Ling sat beside Gu Yuena and cultivated light-element power while the contract continued to take shape.

Ye Ling cultivated with the Little Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who helped draw in elemental power and strengthen them both. Their cultivation created a Spiritual Energy Tide on Knight Holy Mountain, prompting Xiao Huo to investigate, though he did not expect its source to be a young Knight Temple member below the Fifth Rank.

• After absorbing the light elements, Ye Ling found Gu Yuena asleep on his head and sensed that her power was still at an early stage.

• Xiao Huo sent out an avatar to investigate the disturbance, unaware that Ye Ling was its source.

Ye Ling compressed all of his Inner Spiritual Power into Liquid Spiritual Power and became a true Fifth-rank Earth Knight. The change raised the Light God Necklace and Angel Sacred Sword to Legendary grade, and he considered trying to forge Legendary equipment after returning.

• After nearly twenty days of cultivation, Ye Ling’s Spiritual Power reached about two thousand points, leaving him ready to advance to Fifth Rank.

• Ye Ling, Cai'er, and Li Xin returned to the Haoyue Branch Temple and briefly reported to Nalan Shu.
• Ye Ling met Long Haochen, who said his combined Internal and External Spiritual Power had surpassed four hundred and that his forging had stalled at Thousand Forging Second Grade.

• Ye Ling gave Long Haochen the forged steel and explained that he should master the technique through practice rather than rush to repeat it.
• Ye Ling took out Jade Silver infused with Light energy and began attempting to Spirit Forge a Spirit Alloy while Long Haochen watched.
