The array continued attacking on its own, and both Saints’ cultivation fell from the Second Heaven to the First Heaven of the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

• Tongtian gathered the Interception Sect disciples and escaped the battlefield, then used the Qingping Sword to split Kunlun Mountain and Shouyang Mountain apart.
• Yuanshi and Taishang witnessed the destruction but did not dare confront Tongtian, fearing he would kill them as well.

• The surviving leaders recognized that defeating Tongtian was necessary to destroy the Interception Sect and restore their plans against Great Shang.
• Jiang Ziya examined the Investiture of the Gods and noted that many fallen spirits had been annihilated, while only a limited number of powerful figures could qualify as Proper Gods.

After Xi Qi’s defeat, Jiang Ziya offered Ji Fa a chance to surrender peacefully, hoping to prevent further deaths. Ji Fa was tempted, but Li Jing and the Chan Sect’s interests stood in the way, leaving the decision unresolved.

• Jiang Ziya rejected pursuing the defeated Xi Qi army and sent an envoy to offer Ji Fa surrender terms.
• Ji Fa read Jiang Ziya’s letter and felt tempted to accept the chance to avoid further defeat.

• Ji Fa feared surrender would betray his allies, especially Li Jing, who had brought troops from Chentang Pass and served as Xi Qi’s Grand Marshal.

Ji Fa considered surrendering to the Great Shang Dynasty but realized his military authority depended on Li Jing and that the Chan Sect might kill him if he defected. Guangchengzi opposed surrender and began plotting to exploit Jiang Ziya’s softheartedness, while Ji Fa’s resentment toward the Chan Sect deepened.

• Ji Fa felt increasingly disrespected by the Chan Sect and considered joining the Interception Sect if it welcomed him.

Guangchengzi tried to stop Ji Fa from surrendering by warning him that Di Xin would never let him coexist as a rival Human Emperor. Ji Fa secretly grew more hostile to the Chan Sect and continued pretending to consider its promises, leaving his plan to surrender unresolved.

• Guangchengzi confronted Ji Fa over his willingness to surrender, insisting the Chan Sect’s support had enabled Xi Qi’s rise.
• Guangchengzi revealed that Ji Fa possessed Human Emperor aura and warned that Di Xin would treat him as a rival who could not be spared.
• Ji Fa’s new knowledge deepened his hatred of the Chan Sect, though he concealed his intentions while surrounded by its disciples.
• Guangchengzi threatened that surrender would leave Ji Fa and his family powerless and exposed to destruction.

• Li Jing and Yang Jian backed Guangchengzi’s assurances that the Chan Sect still had powerful forces to deploy, while Lei Zhenzi stayed silent.

After persuading Ji Fa to continue fighting, Guangchengzi returned to Kunlun and found it shattered by Sect Master Tongtian’s attack.
