• Qin Huaian concluded that the safe route was likely a narrow, shifting passage and that reaching the fruits might require gambling with his life.

• Liu Chengzhi cautiously explored the mist, regretted the risks, and found a Wind Lightning Apricot tree without any fruit.
• Someone else cried out in recognition of the Wind Lightning Apricot.

• Fairy Qiyu sensed the weak final bolts from afar and wondered whether the cultivator had survived, then returned her attention to a fifth-grade immortal spirit herb.
• Qin Huaian passed the heart demon tribulation without difficulty and received a tiny wisp of seven-colored radiant light as heaven and earth’s reward.

• Fairy Qiyu reasoned that the cultivator who passed the Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal tribulations might be the same person, and Xue Yanchang considered whether a powerful Dao Fruit could explain his rapid advancement.
• Fairy Qiyu and Xue Yanchang left the mist, while cultivators across Golden Glow Island hid, sought treasures, or hunted one another as the island's closing approached.
