• The Dragon Kings traveled to the sea eye and, after receiving no answer at first, heard Zhu Long invite them inside.

• Yuanshi condemned Wu Tian for naming his acquired treasure the Pangu Seal, while Tongtian silently watched Mount Buzhou and wondered whether Wu Tian’s prayer would work.
• Wu Tian released the aura of his Pangu True Form as Heavenly Godly Lightning tempered the Pangu Seal.
• Pangu’s aura erupted from Mount Buzhou, scattered the Heavenly Dao’s power, dispersed the tribulation clouds, and sent a gray ray into the Pangu Seal.
• The blessing rapidly formed forty-eight acquired restrictions, and the completed gray seal descended into Wu Tian’s palm.
• The Three Pure Ones reacted to Pangu’s response, and Taiqing doubted that Pangu would answer if they called to him.

• Duke of the East envied the Witch Clan's favor from Great God Pangu and wished Dao Ancestor Hongjun would support him more.
• Zhu Long reached Penglai Immortal Court and asked Duke of the East to meet with him.

Zhu Long asked Duke of the East to shelter the Dragon Clan in exchange for the Twelfth Grade White Lotus of World Cleansing, but Duke of the East refused, fearing the karmic consequences.
