• Myriad Laws Dao Venerable celebrated Shen Lin's recovery, while Sword Venerable questioned the cost of the battle and learned the attackers had come for something else Shen Lin possessed.

After the Sea Burning Flame annihilated the Black Jackal Clan in Ancient Tomb Heaven, Shen Lin used the vast Demon Lifespan to deduce the Overlord Saber Technique and pursue a Saint Realm breakthrough.

• Shen Lin sensed the power of his Dao-law body and concluded that he could contend with a peak black dragon and was likely invincible within the Venerable Realm.
