• Cai'er and Long Haochen supported Long Haoyu toward camp, but after a few steps he broke into a cold sweat as the magic patterns on his body began to backlash.

After battling the Demon Commander, Long Haoyu suffered a backlash as his Demon Bloodline overwhelmed his Human Race bloodline and threatened to assimilate him. In Shadow Space, the Shadow Instructor revealed a way to address the crisis: Blood Burning.

• Long Haoyu hurried back to camp with Cai'er and Long Haochen, then began cultivating in seclusion while Cai'er stayed beside him and Long Haochen stood guard.
• Long Haoyu's clothes tore as his demonic markings and Reverse Scale mark intensified, so he also asked Little Coal Ball to watch over him.
• Long Haoyu entered Shadow Space and found it dark and oppressive, while the Shadow Instructor explained that the changes reflected the imbalance in his two bloodlines.
• Long Haoyu realized his Demon Bloodline was suppressing and beginning to assimilate his Human Race bloodline, which could make Dual Bloodlines Coexist impossible.
• The Shadow Instructor said he had a way to address the backlash and named it Blood Burning.

Long Haoyu began burning part of his Demon Bloodline to stop it from assimilating his Human Race bloodline, enduring severe pain as No Edge contained the Demonic Qi. The Six Paths Spirit Stove suppressed Cai’er’s Reincarnation Spirit Stove, and Cai’er regained her sight before seeing the demonic patterns covering Long Haoyu.

• Long Haoyu learned from the Shadow Instructor that Blood Burning could restore balance between his bloodlines and prevent him from becoming a member of the Demon Race.
• Long Haoyu accepted the painful Blood Burning method, learned it from the Shadow Instructor, and began burning away his Demon Bloodline in Shadow Space.

• Cai’er sensed the disturbance, and the Reincarnation Spirit Stove emerged from her body as the Six Paths Spirit Stove suppressed it.
• Cai’er’s sight fully recovered, and she looked at Long Haoyu’s demonic patterns in shock.

Cai'er discovered demonic patterns and Demonic Qi covering Long Haoyu, but he awakened and claimed a backlash from his battle with the Demon Commander had caused them. After Cai'er set aside her plan to ask Saint Moon to capture the commander, Long Haoyu asked why she had regained her sight early, and she said it was because of his power.

• Cai'er tried to reach Long Haoyu when she saw demonic patterns and Demonic Qi covering his body, but the White Little Beast held her back with a shield.
• Long Haoyu awakened, the demonic patterns and Qi faded, and Cai'er examined him before asking whether the Demon Commander had harmed him.
• Long Haoyu said he had suffered and resolved a backlash during his final move against the Demon Commander, and Cai'er considered asking Saint Moon to capture him.
• Long Haoyu persuaded Cai'er that involving Saint Moon would be too dangerous, and she abandoned the idea.
• Long Haoyu asked why Cai'er had regained her sight ahead of schedule, and she answered that it was because of his power.

Long Haoyu connected Cai'er's recovering sight to the relationship between his Six Paths Spirit Stove and her Reincarnation Spirit Stove. He asked Saint Moon to let him challenge the Hell Path in the Reincarnation Spirit Stove's trial grounds, hoping to free Cai'er from its backlash.

• Cai'er told Long Haoyu that her vision had begun recovering after his previous cultivation session and that she had concealed it because she feared he would rush his training.
• Long Haoyu reasoned that clearing the Six Paths Spirit Stove's Hell Path might help Cai'er overcome the Reincarnation Spirit Stove's backlash, then decided to consult Saint Moon.

• At Assassin Temple Headquarters, Saint Moon and Holy Heart Spirit were astonished to see that Cai'er's vision had fully returned.
• Long Haoyu told Saint Moon and Holy Heart Spirit that he planned to clear the Hell Path and asked to borrow the Reincarnation Spirit Stove's trial grounds.

Long Haoyu insisted on entering the Reincarnation Spirit Stove's Trial Grounds to investigate its connection to the Six Paths Spirit Stove and help free Cai'er from its backlash. Saint Moon agreed to take him there, while Cai'er remained worried and was left behind after Long Haoyu refused to let her accompany him.

• Cai'er grabbed Long Haoyu's hand and begged him not to go to the Reincarnation Spirit Stove's Trial Grounds, recalling the painful place from her childhood.
• Long Haoyu explained that he wanted to understand Cai'er's past, end the Reincarnation Spirit Stove's backlash, and learn more about the Six Paths Spirit Stove.

• Cai'er offered to accompany Long Haoyu, but he refused and asked her to trust him.
