Chen Fan emerged from Water Curtain Cave after receiving a strand of Equal to Heaven’s inheritance, and he misled the Immortal Court and Demon Realm about what had happened to the cultivators inside. After Fat Daoist suspected Little Golden Monkey was part of Equal to Heaven’s plan, he told Chen Fan that his own scheme to kill the Heavenly Emperor would cost only two lives.

• Chen Fan returned from Water Curtain Cave, and the gathered experts realized that the thousand Integration Realm cultivators sent inside were unlikely to come back.
