Xuanming explained that the Nine Nether Seal could let her awaken the Earthly Dao and become a Saint, while Dijiang inferred the Three Pure Ones had given it to the Witches to help them oppose Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao. The Ancestor Witches agreed to restore the Primordial World's Earth Veins, with Houtu taking charge and requesting a cultivator's assistance.

• Xuanming confirmed that the Earthly Dao could help the Ancestor Witches become Saints, and the others reacted with disbelief.
• Zhujiuyin questioned why Laozi had given Xuanming the Nine Nether Seal, and Xuanming reasoned that the Three Pure Ones could not gain its recognition because they were bound to the Heavenly Dao.
• Dijiang concluded that Laozi had passed on the seal to remove a hidden danger and give the Three Pure Ones a chance to free themselves from the Heavenly Dao.
• Zhujiuyin urged the Witches to restore seventy percent of the Primordial World's Earth Veins so the Earthly Dao could revive.
• Xuanming assigned Houtu to lead the restoration, and Houtu agreed while asking for a cultivator to help conceal the work and draw others into it.

Meanwhile, Laozi brought Li Yun, Young Emperor, and Shao Lin to Jade Void Palace and asked Yuanshi Tianzun for a favor, leaving its nature undisclosed.
