With Feng Qing'er, Little Doctor Immortal, and the Ancient Devouring Worms helping clear their path, they reached the inner region with ease.

Bai Ge completed his Vajra Glazed Body cultivation and reached the Ancient Domain Stage with the women, where Xiao Xun'er joyfully reunited with him.

Bai Ge and Gu Qingyang assessed the Soul Clan and other factions gathered at the Ancient Domain Stage before Hun Yu proposed that the assembled experts join forces against the beast tide.

• Hun Yu gathered the factions and set them out in the agreed arrow-shaped formation, with Bai Ge at the front and the Lei Clan and Shi Clan guarding the rear.
• Bai Ge warned the women to beware of danger beyond the front, then led the group into the plains filled with Fierce Beasts.
• The beast tide charged the formation, and Bai Ge burned through the beasts with his Nine-Colored Glazed Fire before releasing his Ancient Devouring Worm swarm.
