The sect leaders discovered that their ascended ancestors could be contacted again and decided to use them as leverage while hunting Qin Guan. Meanwhile, Tao Baibai’s group planned to hide in the Asura Divine Realm, but Yang Tianni appeared and sealed the black hole leading to the Turbid Court.

• Lü Zheng'an and the other sect leaders learned that their ancestors’ sacred images and resonance talismans responded, and Su Wangchen theorized that the Lower Realm’s disorder had restored their connection to the upper world.

• Tao Baibai admitted that the Saint Guards had once beaten the elders back through the passage without giving them any chance to fight.

When one Sage attacked, Yang Tianni’s Gang Qi absorbed the strike, and he claimed he could defeat all six if he stopped suppressing his cultivation.

• Tao Baibai explained that the Turbid Court cleansed ascended Sages before they entered the Saint Realm, but he and the six brothers had been driven back down after losing a fight with sacred guards.
• Yang Tianni laughed at their story, then took Tao Baibai and the others to a mountain peak for wine and told them he wanted them to stay away from the Primordial Realm.
• Yang Tianni said Qin Guan’s Fate Profile had merged with Hongmeng, so taking his Divine Power would trigger a backlash, and warned that Turbid Court sacred guards might arrive when the Heavenly Dao’s Order collapsed.
