Haotian and Yaochi chose to join the Wu Clan despite Zhou Ming warning them that the coming Great Calamity could kill even Hunyuan cultivators.

• Zhou Ming found Hongjun's Divine Sense hidden in the Haotian Mirror, and Hongjun urged him to go to Purple Heaven Palace, kill the Heavenly Dao, and save his true body.

Zhou Ming saw through Hongjun’s plea as a test and pressed him to explain how his plan to overthrow the Heavenly Dao had failed.

• Zhou Ming closed his fingers around Hongjun’s wisp of Divine Sense as Haotian and Yaochi watched uneasily.

Zhou Ming searched Hongjun’s remnant Divine Sense, found no hidden plan, and refined it until it was completely erased. After checking the Haotian Mirror, the Heavenly Court, and Haotian and Yaochi for further traces, he ordered them to gather the Heavenly Court’s Great Unity Golden Immortals and above for the Wu Clan.
