• Zhang Hong told Li Xiaoya she wanted a child because she feared being left behind when he ascended, and he promised to stay with her unless they could all ascend together.

• Dong Santong explained that he had chased a white bird into Treasure Mountain, bypassed its restrictions, and secretly emptied some of the Treasure Pavilion’s treasures before following the bird to a golden cage.
• Dong Santong said the cage had transformed him into a white bird and held him for several hundred years, during which he cultivated to his current level before returning to the Human Realm.
• Li Xiaoya described the five-element immortal root requirements for advancing to the Great Void Stage and explained how cultivators could supplement their roots.
