• Hongjun resumed his lecture and explained the origins and three categories of Innate Spirit Treasures, demonstrating the powers of several famous treasures.

During Hongjun's lecture at Purple Sky Palace, Lin Yue understood the basics of the Law of Space and used them to perform short-range leaps and create a Space Barrier. He left with new ideas for combining space with his other techniques and a clearer path toward the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal bottleneck.

After Hongjun ended his seven-day lecture, he bestowed Primordial Violet Qi on the living beings who had shown the deepest comprehension, while Lin Yue received none. As the gathered beings wondered why Hongjun had not left, Lin Yue resolved to strengthen himself and make use of the insights he had gained.

• Su Qingyan comforted Lin Yue, and he memorized the auras of the beings who had received violet qi.
• The gates of Purple Cloud Palace opened slightly, and the gathered beings wondered why Hongjun was still waiting.

After Lin Yue failed to obtain Primordial Violet Qi, Hongjun privately told him to “Fend for yourself,” leaving Lin Yue to consider the warning and its implications. Lin Yue resolved to grow stronger and forge his own path as he and his companions left the square.

• Su Qingyan promised to face the dangers of the Primordial Wilderness alongside Lin Yue.
• Lin Yue resolved to study the lecture’s insights, master the fusion of the Law of Space and Fire elemental spiritual power, and strengthen himself before leaving the square with Su Qingyan and Baize.

• Baize showed Lin Yue and Su Qingyan a map and described plans to investigate the Dragon Clan and Sea Clan in the East Sea, the Phoenix Clan near the Volcano of Immortality, and the Western Teachings on the plateau.

• Lin Yue used Space Leap to evade the attack, and Baize tried again to convince Gonggong they were uninvolved.
• Gonggong summoned two more water dragons and threatened to kill them, so Lin Yue signaled Su Qingyan and Baize to prepare for battle.

Gonggong attacked Lin Yue and his companions over their refusal to leave the canyon, but Lin Yue used his newly comprehended Law of Space to weaken and breach Gonggong’s Water Wall. As Gonggong summoned an even stronger underground torrent, Lin Yue warned him to stop, but Gonggong unleashed a massive water dragon at him.
