• The top figures from six courts arrived at Starry Canyon, but their divinations failed to locate Xu Yi and they sensed that someone had activated the Longevity Sword as the ravaged battlefield burst into life.
• Xu Yi emerged from the Four-Colored Seal, and Huang Mei entered his Starry Sky Ring after tossing him the World Tree Seed.

• Wang Guanyuan arrived with a crowd, saw Xu Yi beside Ning Wuyou, and hid his anger behind a graceful demeanor.

At the trial’s end, Ning Wuyou rejected Wang Guanyuan’s offer to join Shangqing Temple and publicly chose Xu Yi as her Dao companion. When Fan Jin and Kong Xiaoyi tried to contain the political fallout, Xu Yi offered to resign as Palace Master of the Starry Sky Prefecture rather than make the matter a dispute between the courts.

• Wang Guanyuan praised Ning Wuyou’s trial results and offered to help her enter Shangqing Temple, but she politely refused.

• Ning Wuyou insisted she had resigned, and Xu Yi offered to step down as Palace Master of the Starry Sky Prefecture to prevent the affair from damaging the sacred grounds’ dignity.

Xu Yi burned Wang Guanyuan after Wang tried to stop him from leaving with Ning Wuyou, then returned to the Starry Sky Ancient Path and learned that Wang’s powerful Shangqing Temple connections could threaten it. He went to the Triangular Forbidden Zone as Wang swore revenge.

• Xu Yi deciphered Xiong Bei Ming's cryptic clue with Huang Mei's help and brought the Ice Fire Rabbit near the Immortal Mechanism Ball.
• The ball entered the Ice Fire Rabbit and awakened it, but Xu Yi easily extinguished its flames and frost, leaving the rabbit astonished at how much weaker it was than him.

Xu Yi reunited with Auspicious Duck Shaoguang, who revealed that he had helped Xu Yi’s old flames rise and warned that Zimo’s fate was unclear. Auspicious Duck used his last wisp of pure intent to bid farewell before a thunderous force erased him, leaving Xu Yi to face the path ahead.

• The Ice Fire Rabbit’s frost and flames formed a black-and-white beam that expanded the Immortal Mechanism Ball’s image, and the exhausted rabbit collapsed.
