Ye Li learned about the Martial Saint realm, uncovered Shen Qinglian’s identity switch with Shen Fuyao, and went to the Scripture Pavilion to search for books about himself.

• Shen Qinglian dismissed the visiting grandmasters after Ye Li defeated their disciples, then told Yun Huanzi that the Dragon Clan had agreed to let Ye Li use the Dragon Transformation Pool in exchange for a condition.

• Ye Li went to the Scripture Pavilion and used its cosmic orb to search for books featuring him as the protagonist; it found thousands across the heavenly worlds.

Ye Li searched the Scripture Pavilion for a story resembling his life and chose Great Thousand Record’s flawed novel as the basis for creating a world through the Wordless Heavenly Book.

The current Dragon Venerable offered him a marriage contract with his daughter Ao Li in exchange for becoming part of the clan, and Ye Li left to consider it before the Dragon Transformation Pool opened.

• As the Dragon Transformation Pool prepared to open, Ao Ying warned Ye Li that many Demon Race members resented his marriage alliance with Ao Li and might attack him inside the pool.
