• Yue Shuo saw a gigantic black hand emerge and called on Senior Ze to catch him, erase the copied Restrictive Seal, and set the Blood Beast Realm free.

After striking down powerful unaffiliated cultivators to further his training, he heard the Heavenly Dao cry that it could not add any more heavenly lightning.

The Orb offered to bind the Heavenly Dragon Spirit Realm under Yue Shuo’s control, and he weighed its benefits before asking about the drawbacks.

• Yue Shuo dragged the Heavenly Dao Light Orb toward his Consciousness Sea, and it recognized him as its master and begged for forgiveness.
• The Heavenly Dao Light Orb revealed that the Remnant Spirit had influenced it, while the Heavenly Dao had remained in control and arranged for Fortune’s Children to destroy the Spirit Taming Sect.

He realized his Taiji treasure had given his body and Divine Soul exceptional capacity to comprehend and bear the Dao, then proposed that Senior Ze wait in his Inner World until Yue Shuo ascended.

• Yue Shuo questioned the Light Blob’s claim that binding it would prevent him from ascending alone, then confirmed the details with Senior Ze and the Black Tortoise Mirror.
