Tang San challenged Yu Xiaogang’s claim that he had betrayed his master, arguing that Yu had done little to help him and questioning the value of his theories. Zhongli then explained that plant-type Martial Souls evolved more effectively when absorbing plant-type soul rings, leaving the Yu brothers alarmed because his words touched on their clan’s dragonification secret.

• Yu Xiaogang challenged Tang San to beg him if he wanted to learn what an Innate Domain was.

Tang San ignored Yu Xiaogang’s demand and asked Zhongli about Innate Domains, prompting Zhongli to reveal that the Blue Silver Emperor was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form.

Tang San realized Yu Xiaogang’s advice had endangered his first Martial Soul, while Xiao Wu tried to conceal her fear that her own identity would be discovered.

• Zhongli explained that Ah Yin had been the Blue Silver Empress and identified Tang San as the Blue Silver Crown Prince.

• Zhongli explained that Plant-type Soul Masters should consider absorbing matching Soul Rings, and the audience praised the Innate Sect’s unity.

Bibi Dong met Zhongli and Paimon after the Soul Fighting Arena and invited them to dinner at the Seven Treasure Hotel to discuss something. Xue Ye learned of their meeting and concluded that Bibi Dong likely had a request for Zhongli, while their conversation was just beginning.

• Zhongli sensed Bibi Dong arriving, and she came out of the shadows to meet him and Paimon.

• Before the food arrived, Bibi Dong began explaining to Zhongli why she had come.

Bibi Dong visited Zhongli in Heaven Dou City and proposed cooperating to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, believing he needed Soul Rings to reach godhood. After considering Paimon’s unusual nature and possible Soul Ring needs, she asked what kind of Soul Ring Zhongli wanted for her.

• Bibi Dong considered Paimon’s unusual abilities and the difficulty of finding a suitable space-element Soul Beast, then asked Zhongli what type of Soul Ring he wanted for Paimon.

“Xue Qinghe” rushed to the Seven Treasure Hotel after learning Bibi Dong was dining with Zhongli, and she and Bibi Dong traded barbs over their distrust and love-brained behavior.

• Bibi Dong asked where the two beasts’ soul rings were, and Zhongli said they had dispersed because their attributes did not suit Paimon.
• Qian Renxue told Bibi Dong that Zhongli had saved her from the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, then rebuked her for caring about a pretty boy while Qian Renxue had nearly died.

• Tai Tan realized Tang San had brought nearly the entire Strength Clan into a fight against powerful Soul Masters and feared the clan’s future was at risk.
