• Huli, Eileen, and Xuan Che fought the attackers while Luna moved among them with deadly speed.
• The enemy leader trapped Luna with a treasure mirror, but Luna vanished and left him facing a desolate wilderness and a blond female Knight.

Luna used a new ability that made the black-robed cultivators fight across reality and the Soul World, overwhelming the attackers in the Otherworld. The battle ended with nearly all the cultivators dead and one captured for questioning.

• Luna attacked the black-robed cultivators, whose perceptions split between the desert battlefield and the gloomy wilderness in the Soul World, where the Brass Knight Legion hunted them.

• Yu Sheng asked Xuan Che about the Emperor’s Legacy, and Xuan Che admitted he had never heard of it.
• Yu Sheng told Xuan Che that the black-robed monks might have entered through another entrance to the Otherworld.

• At Yu Sheng's request, Luna cut his hand, and his blood was absorbed by the giant soldiers without forming a connection to them.
• Yu Sheng sensed that the blood had flowed into a vast, indistinct emptiness, then opened a door back to the mining park and led the group out of the Otherworld.

• Yu Sheng told True Spirit Yuanling that the black-robed men had sought the Emperor’s Legacy, which was connected to the Otherworld on Taiyou.

• Little Red Riding Hood learned that Yu Sheng had moved his house to the mountain, and Rapunzel suggested inviting the children from the orphanage to visit.

• True Spirit Yuanling agreed to send disciples to register the more than seventy children and give them Guiding Jade Tokens.
• Yu Sheng explained the rules for the visit, but Rapunzel ran off to gather the children before he finished.

The children of "Fairy Tale" camped on Cloud Gazing Platform as True Spirit Yuanling invited Yu Sheng to discuss a mysterious Formation-Breaking Giant Divine Soldier with True Spirit Qianji.

• Zheng Zhi noticed increasing numbers of shadow-like birds swimming through the clouds, and Little Red Riding Hood shouted to Yu Sheng that his nephew could see filthy things again.

Zheng Zhi saw strange birds in the clouds that no one else could see, and True Spirit Yuanling recognized the apparition as an unexplained threat near Queyun Palace. After the children returned home, Yu Sheng encouraged Zheng Zhi to treat his unusual sight as a useful talent and learned how he had grown accustomed to seeing shadows since infancy.

• Zheng Zhi described the strange birds and sketched one, which True Spirit Yuanling turned into a lifelike phantom and adjusted to match Zheng Zhi’s recollection.
• True Spirit Yuanling said the bird seemed familiar but could not identify it, then promised to investigate the apparitions within the mountain’s protective formation.
• Yu Sheng sent Long Hair and the children back through the gate of No. 66 Wutong Road before nightfall.
• Zheng Zhi worried that reporting the birds had spoiled the children’s fun, and Yu Sheng told him his unusual sight could be put to good use.
• Zheng Zhi explained that he had seen strange shadows since he was a baby and that his uncle had taught him how to distinguish abnormal things and avoid danger.

Yu Sheng and the others toured Thousand Peaks Spirit Mountain’s Demon Suppressing Tower and entered the Divine Mechanism Hall to see the Trap Formation Giant Divine Armament being disassembled.
