• Mu Yunyao reported that she had found the Void Source and information revealing that an exiled outsider founded the Eternal Sacred Hall before the three Sacred Dao Academies arose.

• Chen Yunxuan calmly declared that he could escape alive.

• Chen Yunxuan charged the twenty Saint Venerables and fought them without being hurt, gradually gaining the advantage.
