• Li Yinzhu woke briefly, called out to Song Shuhang, then rolled to him and fell asleep again before her lecture could begin.
• Li Yinzhu’s lecture ended in failure, and her forming Golden Core released a chill that froze her; Song Shuhang had the Dragon Network Assistant transfer her to his Core World and delay the resulting mental impact.
• Song Shuhang manifested as Ancient Sage Tyrant Dragon alongside the Primordial Spirit projections of twenty-eight Nine Provinces Number One Group seniors.

• During the lecture, figures of the Nine Provinces Number One Group appeared on Song Shuhang’s Fat Whale Golden Core as a Spirit Spring began turning into a Spirit Lake, despite the Golden Core Formation Diagram being incomplete.

Song Shuhang’s Profound Sage Lecture ended with the formation of an enormous Life-Bound Spirit Lake and nine Dragon Pattern projections, while the audience discovered that Ancient Sage Tyrant Dragon was Tyrannical Song. His Fat Whale Golden Core then formed a Star Road lined with figures of his seniors, but the order of those figures raised questions.

• Song Shuhang formed a vast nine-level Spirit Lake in his Natal Dantian, while his Golden Core remained at the initial Solid Golden Core stage.
• The nine Dragon Patterns projected familiar images, and the Confucian Sage’s Eye revealed that Ancient Sage Tyrant Dragon was Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.

• Song Shuhang’s Fat Whale Golden Core remained intact as a True Lord’s Spirit Lake formed, then starlight from its Dragon Patterns created a Star Road.
• Figures of group members appeared along the Star Road, but Su Clan’s Sixteen and Senior White were missing from the expected order.

As Song Shuhang’s natal whale core advanced, his Golden Core Star Road filled with figures representing fellow daoists, but Sixteen, Senior White, and Senior White Two were conspicuously absent. When he asked Senior White Two about the strange result, Senior White Two lamented that Song Shuhang could not advance normally for once.

• Song Shuhang contacted Senior White Two, who explained that Hamster Unit was still preparing to face his tribulation and then complained about Song Shuhang’s abnormal advancement.

Song Shuhang opened his spirit lake so Senior White Two could examine his mutated whale core and explain his unusual advancement. Senior White Two judged Song Shuhang to be a Grade-Six True Lord and suggested his whale core might eventually grow a nascent soul, while Song Shuhang resolved to check on Sixteen after the Black Dragon World incident.

• Song Shuhang told Senior White Two that his advancement had become increasingly abnormal since his golden core mutated into a whale core, and Senior White Two joked that the crooked sapling should be cut down early.

• Senior White Two confirmed that Song Shuhang had reached the Grade-Six True Lord Realm and said his whale core might form a nascent soul after it finished creating his spirit lake.

Hamster Unit then prepared to give a sermon broadcast across several worlds, while Gongzi Hai survived his tribulation with eight dragon patterns and received a series of Sage Manifestation broadcasts.

• Mad Saber Three Waves joked that Song Shuhang was trying to grope Soft Feather, then tried to take back the remark when Venerable Yellow Mountain warned that Spirit Butterfly could hear it during his manifestation.

Meanwhile, Spirit Butterfly's lecture earned immense merit, and Hamster Unit manifested as the Dye-Truth Ancient Fiend and delivered another lecture before the group gathered around an unconscious Song Shuhang.

• Gongzi Hai decided that Tyrant Song was an enemy he could not face yet, so he planned to discard his body, identity, and some impurities in his soul while building on the Demon Emperor's legacy.

Song Shuhang dreamed of guiding the sun fairly, while the Dragon Network granted Mad Saber Three Waves an Ancient Sage Manifestation and Song Shuhang's consciousness descended into the Dragonblood Clan Castle.
