• Linghu Qianqian noticed that the Soul Tree and Lei Long were missing, and Lei Dong explained that the tree had been moved and Lei Long was cultivating in seclusion.
• Lei Dong encouraged Linghu Qianqian to work hard toward reaching the Void Refinement Realm, then began refining the palace’s central core with his divine sense.

• Tantai Bingyun revealed that her master, Azure Wave Fairy, had died fighting the Netherworld King and told Ji Shuangshuang that the incubation base already had an owner.
• Ji Shuangshuang dismissed Tantai Bingyun’s claim and declared that she would take the base, prompting Lei Dong to mock her and her companion.
