Xiao Bai attained the Dao as a Three Corpses Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, and her three corpses each gained battle power at the entry level of that realm by borrowing her mana.

• Di Xin told Xiao Bai to return home and not come out, but Xiao Bai protested because she wanted to show off to her little sisters.
