- Venerable Yuanshi sent the Chan Sect Immortals to recruit Dihong, but Great Sage Dao Venerate captured and whipped them before agreeing to withdraw from the Supreme Emperor contest in exchange for their release.

- Li Ju gathered allies and Saint-given weapons to kill Chi You at Absolute Soul Valley, while the Heavenly Dao Saints backed rival claimants and debated the Human Dao’s future.
- At Absolute Soul Valley, Chi You entered despite Xing Tian’s warning and tore apart Li Ju’s God-Falling Immortal-Slaying Crossbow arrows, vowing that the Witch Clan would never retreat.
