After a growing number of students died in the Spirit Academy Competition, Dean Tiansheng persuaded the other Four Great Academy deans to use the Mirror of Judgment to investigate Ruins Continent. The mirror exposed a continent blanketed in sinister yin energy and filled with Spirit Bodies, leaving Dean Taicang pale as he suspected Qing Luo was behind the deaths.

• Hundreds of deans and Sovereigns demanded answers for the unusually high number of student deaths, and Dean Tiansheng proposed inspecting Ruins Continent with the Mirror of Judgment.
• Dean Tiansheng, Taicang, Tang Qiu, and the other deans activated the mirror, which first showed Wen Xuan of Myriad Phoenix Academy and Ji Xuan of Sacred Spirit Academy among the competition's powerful students.

• Wen Xuan asked Luo Li whether Qing Luo was inside the Spiritual Energy vortex, and the deans watched tensely for her reply.

At War Realm Plaza, Dean Taicang denied that Qing Luo was the ancient powerhouse and deflected Dean Tiansheng’s accusations, leaving the other Deans unconvinced but unable to press him further.

• Wen Xuan asked Luo Li about her relationship with Qing Luo, and Luo Li declared that Qing Luo was her beloved and forbade Wen Xuan from mentioning Mu Chen.
• Luo Li said Ji Xuan was no match for Qing Luo, whom she called invincible, because Qing Luo had told her he was nearly done cultivating.
• Dean Tiansheng demanded that Dean Taicang explain whether the ancient powerhouse was Northern Cang Academy’s Dao Child, Qing Luo.
• Dean Taicang denied the connection, argued that the Mirror of Judgment had not revealed the expert’s identity, and claimed Qing Luo had simply found an opportunity and entered seclusion.
• Other Deans supported Dean Taicang’s explanation, and Dean Tiansheng stopped pressing him despite remaining suspicious.
