After discovering a hidden space filled with Nine-Colored Divine Lights, Qi Yuan considered taking one to give to a disciple.

• Qi Yuan planted a soul seed in Hugo that subtly made him trust and protect Qi Yuan, then asked him about his past and the mysterious opportunity he had encountered.

• Qi Yuan wondered whether he could use the two thousand portions of Xuan Yuan Divine Light to create suitable genius disciples.

After joining the Barin Squad as Qi Yuan’s martial uncle, the Upper Purity Clone used the alias Ling Bao to help the squad recover, share his knowledge, and overwhelm their enemies. He then approached Noah with an offer to take him as a disciple and help him reach the Immortal level.

• At a feast on Island 2800, Barin and the squad thanked Ling Bao for saving them, and Ling Bao agreed to travel with them for a while.
