• The group followed him along a silver passage toward Number Fifty-Six Starry Sky Continent, and Ye Han asked how the continents were numbered.

Ye Han and the others traveled toward Number Fifty-Six Continent while Heaven-Shaking Divine Venerable revealed clues about the Star Continents and warned them that absorbing Star Crystals could make future breakthroughs harder.

• The five reached the cliff of Continent Number Fifty-Six, where the restrictive force lifted and they recovered their spell power.
