• Yang Ling chose to advance the Great Grade Azure Dragon Force and the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Manual first, while keeping the Divine Ape Visualization as a later priority.

• Yang Ling offered a jin of hundred refined blazing gold, but Zong Heng refused to spare him until the technique was verified.
• Yang Ling explained that he could produce a jin of hundred refined blazing gold daily, convincing the monks that he could be more valuable than a mine.
• Zong Heng gave Yang Ling one day to prove his claim, and Yang Ling gained confidence that he would survive.
• Yang Ling produced another jin of hundred refined blazing gold under Shi Tianlong and Zong Heng’s close observation.
• Shi Tianlong demanded an equal share for the Great Underworld Temple, while Zong Heng insisted the Arhat Temple deserved at least ninety percent.

Yang Ling’s daily conjuring of hundred refined blazing gold convinced Zong Heng and Shi Tianlong of his value, but they kept him under guard while waiting for the situation outside to settle. On the instance’s final day, Yang Ling climbed into the Sky Wolf Battle Armor and exited just as time ran out.

• Yang Ling proposed dividing the gold eighty-twenty between the Great Underworld Temple and the Arhat Temple, but Zong Heng and Shi Tianlong rejected his attempt to influence their dispute.

• Yang Ling reached a vast, scorching cavern and watched the Human-Skin Map reveal the Fire Cloud Cave’s layout.
• Yang Ling chose a route toward the map’s red-marked deepest area that passed only one skull marker, then hurried onward after hearing digging behind him.
• The Star Sea Fishing Alliance broke through the courtyard floor and exposed a passage into the cave.

• River Elder revealed that Snow Spirit Marrow could help Fifth-Rank cultivators resist the supernatural power and said the legendary Fire Cloud Cave lay below.

Zhao and Rong States revealed their coordinated plan to seize Fire Cloud Cave after learning the Old Flood Dragon had died, and their fleets approached Fire Flood Dragon Island. Xie Jinjia and Chen Quan went ahead to negotiate while the others prepared to land, leaving Zhao Yuan and Zhao Qi eager to join the expedition.

• Xu Wuji accused Xie Jinjia of betraying Zhao State, but Xie Jinjia denied it and Li Zhong’s calm response reassured the others.

River Elder accused Shi Jinglong of being an agent for Zhao State, while the gathered powers debated who he truly served and agreed to send their juniors into Fire Cloud Cave without Grandmaster interference. After the teams entered, River Elder searched the island and confronted a hidden figure beside a chilly pool, asking whether Shi Jinglong was one of their people.

• Yang Ling saw a hidden palace and a colossal dead creature covered in blood-red scales, and suspected it was the ancestor.

Yang Ling visited the Old Flood Dragon’s remains, where the ancestor appeared to grant him ten powerful Fire Spirit Pearls. After escaping the magma sea, Yang Ling realized the Old Flood Dragon was alive and suspected it might be lying in wait for the factions gathering on the island.

• The Super Giant Fire Lizard brought Yang Ling and Little White to the Old Flood Dragon, and Yang Ling searched the remains for the Crimson-Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect’s inheritance.
• While Yang Ling and Little White looked away, the Old Flood Dragon opened an eye and then placed ten Fire Spirit Pearls before them.
• Yang Ling collected the pearls, gave one to the Super Giant Fire Lizard, and left with Little White, declaring that they would one day avenge the Crimson-Refined Fire Flood Dragon Sect.
