Taibai Jinxing persuaded Wen Zhong to accompany him to Penglai to ask Xian Junyu about Yang Jian and Yang Chan’s interference with the Heavenly Court. Xian Junyu said their actions were personal conduct because they had not acted under his or the Interception Sect’s name, leaving Taibai doubtful.

Xian Junyu arrived at the Human Race’s pilgrimage assembly in Human Saint City, where the Human Race’s Saints and gathered cultivators honored him as their ancestor and the Primordial’s First Saint. The assembly had not yet begun when the chapter ended, and his unexpected greeting to Zhunti and Jieyin left the gathered Saints wondering what he intended.
