• Zhun Ti blamed the Witch Race for keeping Dijun away and warned the Golden Crows not to provoke them, prompting the brothers to curse the Witch Race.
• One Golden Crow questioned how a weak tiger demon had entered the Sun Star, so Zhun Ti produced a Fire-Avoiding Talisman bearing Dijun's aura and eased most of their suspicion.

The storm shifted toward the Western Sect, where Tathagata and his followers used it to promote Buddhist worship, while Lin Zhu realized he could control a storm within his Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls.
