• Chen Jiuxu told Li Yun that his Ancient Martial Eyes could no longer see through him, and Li Yun attributed it to the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

• Yuan Qi urged Li Yun to visit the other inherited Divine Abilities, but Chen Jiuxu stopped him and asked Li Yun to examine Yuan Qi's injuries.

Old Daoist Wuchen warned that powerful forces stood behind their plot and said Li Yun had only one way to protect his sect, but the chapter ended before he revealed it.

• Old Daoist Wuchen explained that Night Emperor had summoned the Heavenly Dragon Berserker and three sect Supremes to kill Chen Jiuxu and destroy the Celestial Martial Sect.
• Wuchen revealed that the conspirators feared Li Yun would soon become a Heavenly Human Supreme and wanted to eliminate him and seize the sect’s foundation.

• Old Daoist Wuchen told Li Yun there was only one way to resolve the danger and preserve the Celestial Martial Sect, but had not yet explained what it was.

Old Daoist Wuchen urged Li Yun to leave the Celestial Martial Sect for the Cracked Heaven Dynasty to protect the sect from the Night Emperor, and Li Yun reluctantly agreed to consider it.

• Li Yun promised to help the skeleton fulfill its unfulfilled wish if he ever learned of it, and the skeleton suddenly rose into the air, shining brightly.

After the skeleton vanished, Li Yun left the Valley and returned to the Celestial Martial Sect to tell Chen Jiuxu he would go to the Cracked Heaven Dynasty with Old Daoist Wuchen. Before departing, Li Yun passed on the Wuwei Sutra and the first ten chapters of the Classic of Virtue to Chen Jiuxu and Yuan Qi, whose cultivation improved enough to give them hope of reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm.
