• Lin Dong gained Ling Zhanzi and Ling Jianzi’s trust, and they offered to recommend him to the Western Heaven War Hall after leaving the Primordial Secret Realm.

• Black Dragon tried to seize the mirror, but Xiao Tian Ce dodged him and sent a golden Heavenly Demon Puppet to punch Black Dragon hundreds of meters away.

• Ye Qingqing offered Xiao Tian Ce a grand divine ability to secure Black Dragon’s release, but Xiao Tian Ce spared Black Dragon and Black Phoenix without accepting it.

• Lin Dong departed, and Xiao Tian Ce predicted that he would become one of the Great Thousand World’s foremost powerhouses within a hundred years.
• Gu Xun’er, Xiao Xuan, Luo Tianshen, and the Sky Dome Academy President left to seek opportunities, while Shi Hao told Xiao Tian Ce that the Great Wilderness Sect had been destroyed and asked to serve him.
