• Li Qingyuan encountered Long Xuantian among nearly five hundred cultivators, and both sides prepared to fight.

• Yang Fan resisted the Spirit Infant’s attempts to provoke envy of Yang Xuan, holding to his own path and refusing to compare himself with others.
• The Spirit Infant found Yang Xuan’s resolve equally unshakable and failed to tempt Yang Can, whose inner demon depicted him destroying a demonized Yang Haoran and sacrificing himself to atone.
• The Spirit Infant chose Li Qingyuan as its next target, reasoning that his ruthless killing and Myriad Souls Banner marked him as a demonic cultivator with powerful inner demons.

Li Qingyuan overcame the Inner Demon Bridge by embracing the slaughter he saw as necessary to protect his original resolve, forging the Slaughter Law and strengthening his Fortune Laws.
