• The Green Robe Sect Leader explained that the dying Beast God had left him burdened with malevolent Qi, nearly making him fall into evil.
• Ye Changfeng told Lu Xueqi and Jin Ping'er that the Beast God's love for Linglong was twisted and that Linglong likely felt pity, not romantic love, for him.

• Linglong watched the Heavenly Curtain, felt guilty for the trouble she had caused, and wished she could meet the Green Robe Sect Leader to discuss Immortality.

• The Heavenly Curtain identified True Lord Qingye as Qingyun Sect's eleventh Sect Leader, credited him with founding its major arts and formations, and declared him unparalleled through the ages.

The Heavenly Curtain revealed that Ancestor Qingye had died, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, and Ye Changfeng reflected on his extraordinary cultivation and the era that limited him. As the Demonic Sect prepared to attack Qingyun Sect, the Heavenly Curtain showed the Ghost King Sect Vice Sect Leader secretly entering the sect.

• The Qingyun Sect Heads and the Demonic Sect members concluded that Ancestor Qingye's remnant soul was unlikely to intervene because he had not appeared during the attack three hundred years earlier.
• Ye Changfeng considered Ancestor Qingye's rapid rise to the Supreme Purity Realm and imagined what he and Witch Linglong might have achieved with access to all Five Volumes of the Heavenly Books.

• The Heavenly Curtain shifted to a bamboo grove at Qingyun Sect, where it showed the Ghost King Sect Vice Sect Leader in black robes.
• Wan Renwang and the Qingyun Sect Heads watched the unidentified Vice Sect Leader, wondering why he had infiltrated the sect.
