• Yun Qiyue took Ye Lin's hand and stepped onto the lotus platform.

Ye Lin and Yun Qiyue arrived at the center of the Lotus Platform, where several powerful young heirs from the Eastern Region had gathered. Yun Qiyue identified the Dragon Clan’s Ao Jin, the Ice Phoenix Clan’s Feng Qingyin, the Barbarian Clan’s Shi Potian, and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Ji Xuan.

• Hua Feiyi remarked on Ye Lin's skill and encouraged him to reconsider, while Yun Qiyue smiled and watched.
• Shi Potian arrived and declared that Hua Feiyi was his.

Hua Feiyi rejected Shi Potian’s advances and claimed Ye Lin as her Dao companion, but Shi Potian remained undeterred and invited Ye Lin to spend time with him. As they went, Shi Potian asked about Ye Lin’s master and pointed out the cultivator Baili Rufeng, leaving Ye Lin looking toward the distant figure.

• Shi Potian said Long Aotian, son of the Holy Palace’s Eastern Region Vice Palace Master, had called the banquet to gather the region’s young powerhouses for the ruin.
• Ye Lin asked what the ruin contained, and Shi Potian said nobody knew because the Chaos Ancient Clan had sealed off all information.

Ye Lin joined a banquet where Long Aotian gathered the Eastern Region’s young scions to discuss the Chaos Ancient Clan and an extraordinary ruin. Long Aotian urged them to unite and declared that they could not surrender the ruin.

• Shi Potian said the ruin was real and that heavenly secrets had exposed the truth.

• Shi Potian told Ye Lin that Long Aotian had never lost and had been raised with the finest resources by his father, a peak Quasi-Saint of the Ninth Heaven.
• Long Aotian thanked the guests and called on them to unite against the Chaos Ancient Clan and claim the significant ruin.

• Ye Lin and his companions heard someone complain that Long Aotian had refused to let him in, and they found a crowd gathered around the dispute.

Ye Lin watched cultivators being tested at the golden gate and learned about a rare stone that assessed their strength. Shi Potian explained the stone’s color rankings as Ye Lin prepared to understand what the test measured.

• Two attendants rejected a young man at the gate because his strength did not meet the requirements, and nearby cultivators mocked him as he left.
• An attendant tested a woman’s strength with a palm-sized stone, which glowed faint gold, and allowed her through the gate.
• Shi Potian appeared beside Ye Lin, who realized that he had come for Hua Feiyi.
• Ye Lin asked Shi Potian about the stone, and Shi Potian explained that the saint’s-blood-stained treasure assessed personal strength but excluded treasures and trump cards.
• Ye Lin asked how strength was classified, and Shi Potian listed the colors from white through violet-gold.

Ye Lin’s group tested their strength on a stone that ranked battle prowess, and Yun Qiyue and Hua Feiyi produced stronger golden readings than Shi Potian. The chapter left Shi Potian humiliated after Hua Feiyi mocked him for pursuing her.

• Shi Potian explained the stone’s color rankings and warned that it only roughly measured a cultivator’s current strength.
• Most cultivators failed to pass the test and left, while those who qualified showed gold readings.

• Shi Potian tested next, but his golden light was noticeably dimmer than Yun Qiyue’s.
• Hua Feiyi produced a brighter golden reading than Shi Potian and scorned him for pursuing her.
• Shi Potian blushed and could not find a way to reclaim his dignity.
