• Ling Qingzhu realized Luo Heng knew the flames were an illusion and pursued him on the Azure Lotus, determined to claim the Nirvana Heart.

• Luo Heng and Ling Qingzhu sealed the Bronze Gates with their restrictions before Ling Qingzhu approached the stone coffin.

After humiliating the Four Great Clans, Luo Heng explained to Ling Qingzhu why he had used the fabricated identity Li Luo and discussed his secrets and cultivation. Ling Qingzhu decided to remain for two or three weeks to finish converting her Primal Energy, and reluctantly allowed Luo Heng to stay with her.

• Lin Langtian vowed to avenge his humiliation, while Qin Shi was relieved he had not challenged Luo Heng and Wang Yan collapsed in fear or rage.
