Chen Changan discovered that the Life Forbidden Zone’s Source of Life had formed from drained life force, while Chen Qingqing began absorbing it in hopes of evolving into a Tree of Life. He sealed the strange Square Seal that had been devouring life, ending the Life Forbidden Zone, then left to search for the Saint Dao Scepter in the Nightmare Land.

• Chen Changan told Hongchen he would wait for Da Huang and the others before opening the Sacred War Ruins, since the entrance might close and leave him unable to return.
• Chen Changan wondered whether the two missing sources of Origin Energy of Dao might lie in the Sacred War Ruins, then headed toward the Tai Yuan Divine Palace.
• Chen Changan sensed Origin Energy of Dao in the Tai Yuan Realm and tracked it to the Tianlin Divine Sect.
• Chen Changan told the Tianlin Divine Sect’s ancestor and sect master that the source lay beneath their memorial tablets and offered them one favor from the Tai Yuan Divine Palace in exchange for taking it.
• The Tianlin Divine Sect members doubted Chen Changan’s claim of influence, so he introduced himself and said the Taiyuan Divine Emperor was his Registered Disciple.
