• Everyone agreed to the meeting, and Ye Lin told them to remain in the cave and wait for Penglai Island to return.
• Elsewhere, two half-step Heavenly Lord-level beings stood in the altar as they were scolded.

After half a month of searching for Ye Lin and the others, the two Half-Step Heavenly Lords failed to find them, and Penglai Island returned to the Endless Sea. Ye Lin led the recovered great powers out of the island, pursued by Demon Beasts, as the forces outside prepared to intervene.

• Di Yuan told the group it was time to leave, and Ye Lin led them as they removed their formation.
• Demon Beasts charged after Ye Lin and the others as they flew into the sky, prompting the great powers outside to roar in anger.

Ye Lin examined the mysterious semi-immortal-grade longsword and learned that it held a sword spirit named Bai Ling, who had awakened believing only a short time had passed since the Primordial Era.
