• After waiting for tens of thousands of years without finding similar flowers, Yang Dong and the others watched outsiders claim the City of Reincarnation and exploit its power.
• A new great realm formed, but Ominous Substance tainted its Cultivation Methods, so Ye Fan and Emperor Wushi began working on a new method while Yang Dong entered the graveyard connected to the old great realm.
