• Ye Han refused to be persuaded by the Heaven-Sealing Ape's ambitions and asked about the true purpose of the True Immortal Divine Beasts' visit.
• The Heaven-Sealing Ape explained that the Sealed Heaven Land held power he had gathered to challenge Wretched Old Heaven, but that his attempt had failed and he had been sealed.
• Ye Han inferred that the True Immortal Divine Beasts had fought the ape and suffered the loss of body parts, while the ape had also been badly injured.

• The Heaven-Sealing Ape forced the Heaven-Sealing Gates underground and brought the Heaven-Sealing Pillars back to the surface.
