• Heaven Mending Pavilion divided the candidates into eight groups and explained the rune-field trial and its dangerous second layer.
• Su Ye left Big Gold Dog behind and decided to take the trial rather than reveal his identity and enter Heaven Mending Pavilion directly.

Su Ye and Shi Yi agreed to a limited contest over sixty Spirit Medicines, with Shi Yi tasked with taking a strip of cloth from Su Ye. Inside Su Ye’s concealing mist, Shi Yi discovered Su Ye’s Heavenly Eyes, injured himself trying to reproduce them, and then launched the Five-Colored Peacock’s Treasure Art.

• Su Ye proposed a three-move contest with Shi Yi, and defended their right to avoid a deadly fight from onlookers demanding a spectacle.

Su Ye used Purple Phoenix Ginseng, White Jade Ganoderma, and his Innate Primordial Essence to regrow his badly damaged right arm after defeating Shi Yi in their spar. Shi Yi left with the Martial King Mansion, acknowledging his loss, while Su Ye's new arm remained too tender for strenuous use.

• The Heaven Mending Pavilion elder examined Su Ye's shattered arm and advised him to cut it off and regrow it with medicine.
• Shi Yi emerged from the rubble unharmed and realized Su Ye had struck him with the force of his body rather than a Treasure Art.

• Su Ye told Shi Yi that he had lost, and Shi Yi left with the grim-faced people from the Martial King Mansion.

• Xiong Fei began negotiating how many disciples the Heaven Mending Pavilion could accept, citing the burden on its resources.

Su Ye then asked the Little One to lend him the Original True Interpretation in exchange for revealing where another part could be found, and Willow Deity allowed the Little One to negotiate terms.

• The elders led more than three thousand candidates to the Heaven Mending Pavilion after the Bear Child disrupted both examination zones.
• Su Ye suggested that Xiong Fei use medicinal beast milk as bait to draw out the Bear Child.
• The candidates completed their initiation, and Su Ye was assigned as an ordinary disciple because he lacked a Talisman Token and had not taken the Second Battlefield examination.
• The Little One approached Su Ye, who asked to borrow the Original True Interpretation and offered to reveal the location of the Myriad Spirit Map.
• Willow Deity told the Little One he could let Su Ye read the text, but should set his own terms.

Su Ye traded thirty Spirit Medicines and three future Treasure Arts for the Original True Interpretation, then offered Little One three chances to glimpse Destiny with his Samsara Eye. After the disciples were assigned to groups, Su Ye went to the ordinary disciples’ lodgings, hoping to study the text and improve his understanding of runes.

• Little One agreed to lend Su Ye the Original True Interpretation in exchange for half of Su Ye’s sixty Spirit Medicines and three Treasure Arts owed later.
