• Ye Lin opened his eyes and learned that he had inherited the innate divine ability Mortal World Scroll.

After spending most of his transaction points at the auction, Ye Lin looked for a way to earn over a hundred million quickly so he could buy treasures and Primordial Spirit cultivation methods at the Great Blade Association.

• Ye Lin summoned black-violet chains that restrained Yun Qiyue, then told her she was no match for him there.

Ye Lin demonstrated his space-based divine ability to Yun Qiyue, then read her panel and learned of a treasure-filled battle between three great sects in Wayfarer Province a year later. Short on trading points, he headed there through the Holy Palace’s teleportation array to pursue the opportunity.

• The waiter explained that the Dao Sect's Dao Son and Human Sect's Holy Son had been crippled after fighting over the Demonic Sect's Demoness.
• The waiter said both former heirs later died with demonic qi and the Harvesting Yang to Replenish Yin art on their bodies, leading the Dao Sect and Human Sect to accuse the Demonic Sect.
• The Demonic Sect denied the accusation, and the three sects remained deadlocked as smaller factions began leaving Heavenly Water Commandery.
• Ye Lin realized the three sects would go to war in a year and planned to arrive ahead of time to collect the spoils.
• Ye Lin thanked the waiter, warned him to leave if he could, and departed the tavern; the waiter wondered whether a devastating war was coming.
