Lin Yi agreed to represent the Acacia Sect at negotiations with the Taotie, Teng Snake, and Xiangliu clans, while Ye Xing feared the talks were connected to Ye Chen’s missing parents. The Ninth Elder recognized Lin Yi’s talent as that of a “Young Great Emperor” and ordered the Acacia Sect to treat him courteously, leaving Chu Lianxi curious about him as he began seclusion.

• The Ninth Elder explained that human factions would negotiate with the Taotie, Teng Snake, and Xiangliu clans outside Guzhi Pass in one month, and Lin Yi agreed to help represent the Acacia Sect with his Ultimate Dao Emperor Weapon as a deterrent.

• Chu Lianxi called Lin Yi a bastard but agreed to deliver his future resources herself so she could see why the Ninth Elder valued him.

Lin Yi used a Quintuple Devouring Formation to cultivate the Human Emperor's Prison-Suppressing Scripture at extreme speed, consuming Wan Ci's first batch of resources in half a day. After Chu Lianxi saw the depleted supplies, Wan Ci brought him a second batch, ten times larger, while she wondered whether to report his appetite to the Ninth Elder.

• Lin Yi carved overlapping Devouring Formations and combined them with his body's Aperture Points and the Great Wilderness Art to reach Quintuple Devouring intensity.
• Lin Yi cultivated with Wan Ci's resources and awakened his Origin Points to a total of 110,000 before consuming the entire first batch in half a day.
