Han Lingsha led the group to God Conferred Mausoleum, where they found Houyi's Sun-Shooting Bow and she gave it to Yun Tianhe, asking him to keep it with him.

• Yun Tianhe rushed at Su Yao to reclaim the Wangshu Sword, but Xuanxiao appeared between them and sent Yun Tianhe flying.

After the group learned the truth about the past, Shen Fei left to handle matters around Crescent Moon Village and Bozhen Town, then returned to find the Qionghua Sect had withdrawn from the Huanming Realm.

After leaving the Huanming Realm, Yun Tianhe and his companions found Grandmaster Zong Lian’s sword-forging journal and learned that the twin swords could only be stopped if their hosts died. Shen Fei warned that killing either host would bring down the already-ascending Qionghua Sect, so they headed back to confront Xuanxiao and try to make him abandon his plan.

• Chanyou warned Liu Mengli that Yun Tianhe and the others had to leave the Huanming Realm, and Liu Mengli exchanged farewells with them.

• Shen Fei said the only way to save the Qionghua Sect was to persuade Xuanxiao to abandon his plan, and the group set out for the sect.

Shen Fei and his companions reached Qionghua Sect as it ascended, where Murong Ziying confronted the sect’s disciples over their cruelty and the damage they had caused.

• Shen Fei released Daorun, cultivated in Shouyang County for several days, and mastered the basics of Shushan’s Sword Control Technique.
• Shen Fei flew toward Shushan to investigate the three Divine Artifacts, knowing the Three Sovereigns Illusion Realm and the sect’s defenses made them difficult to obtain.

• Shen Fei escaped Xuan Guang Hall with the Shinnong Cauldron, leaving three Shushan elders to find it missing and suspect the demons had stolen the Divine Artifacts.

Meanwhile, Esdeath and the others sailed past Dressrosa toward Wano Country, leaving Doflamingo to wonder which Emperor they intended to confront.

• Shen Fei cultivated Lixiang Herb on his secret island, expanded his plans for a chamber of commerce with the Han family, and studied the Nine-Dragon Silk Sword Tassel before leaving the Sword and Fairy World.
