• Fang Qianyuan sensed that the worlds revealed by the paintings could offer the opportunity his Past Body needed to progress.
• Lin Qiao painted peach blossoms in the Flowing Cloud Grotto and admitted she lacked the boldness of spirit needed to advance in the Way of Painting.

• Lin Qiao showed the girl her collection of Fang Qianyuan’s paintings, most of which were originals he had given her.
• The ink in the painting before Lin Qiao began to move like smoke, and the girl saw the scenery change around her.

Lin Qiao and Ling Xian'er were drawn into Fang Qianyuan’s painting and witnessed the Moonlight Fairy’s birthday banquet as a vivid Realm Within the Painting. After Fang Qianyuan sent them back, Lin Qiao realized their memories had subtly changed because Ling Xian’er had received a sea pearl from him inside the painting.

• Fang Qianyuan arrived and commanded the Hair Demon to sweep its hair toward the attacking Corpse Demons.

Fang Qianyuan discovered that the Corpse Demons were protected by a law resembling immunity to all arts, which he recognized as the power of King Mu’s Ten Thousand Tribulations Transformation. He lifted the ship and destroyed the demons with Dark Demon Claw-Shatter the Painting, leaving the Blood Sea frozen into a vast island.

• Fang Qianyuan saw King Mu’s shattered Sea Demon Dharma aspect regenerate through its divine sense and spirit essence, though his attack had weakened its defenses.
• Fang Qianyuan judged that defeating King Mu would require overwhelming power or a prolonged clash of laws, and decided not to expend his strength on the manifestation.

• King Mu explained that the Flying Immortal Records’ true secret lay in the legacies of the Two Sects and could be unraveled only when all nine records were united, then left with Si Yuanjin.

Fang Qianyuan considered the danger behind the Flying Immortal Records and discussed the secret alliances of the Supreme Heaven and Heavenly Realms Two Sects with Fang Lian. His forces recovered the records, and he arranged to take the original back to the Azure Cloud Sect while allowing others to copy its text and share research.

• Fang Qianyuan forgave Zuoqiutang for his losses, then told Fang Lian what King Mu had revealed about the two sects and their alliances.
• Fang Lian and Fang Qianyuan reasoned that the secret alliances could matter more than the ancient treasures, and Fang Qianyuan decided to discuss their response after returning.
