Yao Niang discovered her strength had increased more than tenfold, while Qin Guan left the two dragons pinned to keep her from ascending through the Saint Gate; the Little Black Tower then asked what she had felt when his Divine Power entered her origin.

• Qin Guan ignored the Little Black Tower’s distractions and rebuilt Yao Niang’s Great Dao Stele while replenishing his exhausted strength with resources.

Qin Guan entered Xiao Guo with Cang Chong and united his Divine Soul with the white-robed woman, gaining access to the Qi Yuan Civilization’s power but temporarily acquiring a woman’s voice. The woman explained that Ancestor Qi Yuan created her to let anyone cultivate by borrowing her power, and revealed that Xiao Guo helped him study and refine the Great Daos.

• Xiao Guo recognized the white-robed woman as its deceased mistress’s likeness and brought Qin Guan and Cang Chong into its inner space.

After Cang Chong threatened to reveal the secrets if he died, Qin Guan promised she would guide him in the Destiny Great Dao once she completed her fusion with him.

• Cang Chong offered to keep the secrets if Waiting for You guided him in the Destiny Great Dao and helped him ascend to sainthood, and Qin Guan agreed.

Qin Guan left Xiao Guo with Cang Chong, who returned without the Secret Method, while Yu Shuntian and a Sage both turned their attention to the Primordial Tower.

• In the Primordial Dojo, Bai You, Nan Rou, Zi Qing, Yao Niang, and the others marveled at Qin Guan’s account of the Qi Yuan Civilization and asked whether he would put its ideals into practice.
• Qin Guan postponed that question until after they resolved the current crisis, while his companions joked about his voice and discussed having Dao Embryos cultivate for them.
• After the Little Black Tower praised the plan, Qin Guan asked Xiao Guoguo to make more Dao Embryos.

Xiao Guo explained the rare materials needed to make Qin Guan a Dao Embryo, then consumed his cultivation resources and those of his companions. Qin Guan hired Yu Shuntian to search for the materials, but their discussion of Sage Blood was interrupted by a Yellow Robe Old Man who claimed it flowed through his body.

• Xiao Guo listed the materials required to make a Dao Embryo, including Sage Blood, but could not remember where the previous Dao Embryo's Sage Blood had come from.

• The Yellow Robe Old Man took Qin Guan and Yao Niang through a golden rift, leaving Yu Shuntian and the Primordial Tower Spirit behind.

After he departed, the Little Black Tower revealed that the Divine Chair could make two people’s Great Dao resonate and complement each other.
