After the wager, the Dao Sect halls selected new disciples, and Su Kui, Mo Ling, and their companions chose the Desolate Hall.

• Ying Huanhuan challenged Lin Changqiang to a wager: if one of the four brothers comprehended the Great Desolation Scripture, she would give them ten million Nirvana Pills; otherwise, they would join the Heaven Hall and call her Senior Disciple Sister.

• Ying Huanhuan told Ying Xiaoxiao that Lin Changqiang had chosen Desolate Hall and called him an arrogant idiot for pursuing the Great Desolation Scripture.

• Tong Chuan stood at the Dan River with a dark expression as his fellow disciples protested that Lin Changqiang had received the spot he had hoped to win.

Lin Changqiang arrived at the Dan River Platform to contend for the Pill River Anointment, where Tong Chuan challenged his right to the opportunity. Lin Changqiang turned Tong Chuan’s demand into a ten-move contest, and Tong Chuan prepared to fight.

• Tong Chuan argued that Lin Changqiang should ask the Hall Master for a different reward because the Desolate Hall had only one Pill River Anointment slot.
• Lin Changqiang invoked the rules of contribution and strength, then challenged Tong Chuan to enlighten him.

• Lin Changqiang summoned a Pure Origin Treasure sword, startled the disciples, then put it away and offered Tong Chuan the same ten-move condition for the opportunity.
• Tong Chuan formed a golden broadsword and declared that he would show Lin Changqiang his strength.

• Chen Zhen and Wu Dao stabilized the vortex around Lin Changqiang, and Wu Dao worried that what happened next depended on his fortune.

Lin Changqiang entered the Nirvana Golden Energy, endured its searing tempering, and continued growing stronger as he learned to adjust his defenses.

• Wu Dao estimated Lin Changqiang could last eight days, then admitted he wondered whether Lin Changqiang might absorb all the energy as Zhou Tong had.
• Chen Zhen recalled Zhou Tong and wondered whether Lin Changqiang might achieve a similar miracle.
• Lin Changqiang reached the Nirvana Golden Energy and entered it without defenses to absorb it directly.
• The golden energy inflicted severe pain and injuries on Lin Changqiang, so he activated his Nirvana Golden Body and recovered with Holy Light Protection.
• Lin Changqiang resumed absorbing the energy under his Golden Body, gradually lowering his defenses as he adapted and healed.
