• Chen Daoxuan suspected Wu Mingxiu belonged to Xin Yi Cult and had approached him to escape the Capital of Xu Kingdom and use his Heavenly Secrets Talisman.

• Nishang Immortal Fairy confirmed Elder Nie had earned enough merit to exchange for a drop of Heavenly Dew of Splendor, which could help him break through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
