• The Savage King warned the Barbarian Tribe not to become complacent amid the Wang Family's vast treasury and ordered its treasures moved back to the Southern Ridge.

• The old patriarch went to organize the hunt for the Wang Family's remaining forces, while Lin Xian wondered whether his Dao had changed as he neared Severing the Dao.

Lin Xian deduced that Heaven’s Will Slash damaged cultivators’ Dao foundations and that the Heavenly Heart Imprint could repair them, then devised a way to evade the Heavenly Dao rather than fight it. He set out for the Western Desert to retrieve the Human Emperor Banner before traveling to Ziwei, where he planned to use the Taiyin Body within the banner.

• Lin Xian discussed Dao-severing with the Savage King and the Man-Demon, then concluded that Immortal Three Severing the Dao was a remnant of Heaven’s Will Slash that caused cultivators’ immortal essence to leak away.

• Lin Xian used the Golden Crow blood to heal Jiang Yue, and Ye Fan introduced their group as the Heavenly Court and promised to revive the Solar Divine Sect.
• Solar Sect Master Jiang Ming led the sect’s twenty-seven disciples in welcoming Heavenly Court, and Ye Fan promised to send someone to teach them the complete Sun Emperor Scripture.
• Jiang Ming said the Solar Sacred Emperor’s descendants had kept the surname Jiang, causing the Jiang Family Saint to react with shock because Emperor Hengyu had also been surnamed Jiang.

• Jiang Taixu said he planned to take Tingting to the Solar Ancient Sect, which had been found and had a Solar Body.

Jiang Tingting and Ye Tong’s Yin-Yang resonance awakened the Goddess Furnace and helped Ye Fan enter the Divine Forbidden Realm. After Ye Fan punched Lin Xian, Lin Xian beat him and claimed he had once been the Heavenly Emperor’s teacher and the Dao Ancestor’s instructor, leaving the gathered prodigies to ponder reincarnation and surpassing the ancients.

• Jiang Tingting and Ye Tong’s constitutions resonated, awakening the Goddess Furnace as a half-Emperor Weapon and allowing their Solar and Lunar energies to merge.
