• Lin Feng told Shui Bing'er that the method’s difference from his teaching lay in its cultivation concept and path, not its moves.

• Nihility Devouring Flame devoured Tang San repeatedly, and Tang San revived each time as grass while resolving to go to Zhaoge, spread the Dharma, and atone for his sins.

• Zhun Ti struck Nihility Devouring Flame into the Tongtian River and sentenced him to reflect there for a thousand years.
