Ye Lin defeated Qin Wudao with a single palm and warned him against overconfidence, then sensed powerful experts gathering at the border between the Heavenly Demon Great World and the Xuanhuang Great World. With ten people having successfully become Immortals, Ye Lin judged that the Heavenly Demons had waited too long to act.

• Qin Wudao questioned how Ye Lin had defeated him, and Ye Lin said Qin was still far from being his equal.

Ye Lin joined Heavenfall in the highest seat as Heavenfall ordered the Xuanhuang Great World's immortal experts to prepare to clear out the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in half a year.

After Ye Lin defeated Qin Wudao, Heavenfall revealed the ancient origins of One Breath Becomes Three Purities and explained that Ye Lin possessed only one of its three fragmented scrolls. The other two were believed to be in the Heavenly Demon Great World and the Star River, leading Heavenfall to say that their goals were the same.

• Qin Wudao glared at Ye Lin before leaving, and Ye Lin followed the crowd out after everyone else had gone.
