• Gaishi enjoyed the Ancient Clan of Strength’s welcoming atmosphere, though he worried he might not want to return to Kaoshan Sect, and Elder Ancestor Gai Yan began teaching him to cultivate.
• Three months later, Emperor Zuntian brought Huantao to visit Yue Ning Progenitor and explained that Moon Emperor had searched the Moon Clan for an object but found nothing.
• Emperor Zuntian asked Yue Ning Progenitor to give the object to the faction searching for it so Moon Emperor and Huantao could sever their ties to the past.

• Emperor Zuntian warned Yue Ning Progenitor that Gaishi’s arrival might be a signal from the faction and that she might have to hand over the object.

Emperor Zuntian persuaded Yue Ning Progenitor to negotiate with Gaishi over the item Huantao sought, then took Huantao to explore Jue Shen Valley and learn about the vanished Medicine God Valley.
