• Yinglong fathered Qiuniu with a python and punished him by placing him atop a zither for loving music instead of cultivation.

• “Time” questioned whether Du Yu could change the outcome without the Seven Outstanding Disciples of the Sage, the Eight Directions Ghost Record, or the Immortals.

Du Yu dismissed his allies and waited alone at the Legend Management Bureau, leaving “Time” unsure of his intentions. Great Dark Heaven arrived to settle an old grudge and, relying on “Time”’s information, prepared to attack Du Yu while the powerful Immortals gathered on Kunlun Mountain.

• Du Yu visited Fan Wujiao, Xie Bi'an, Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Zhong Kui, Nezha, Yang Jian, Chang'e, and the Jade Emperor without telling them his plans.

• The Three Pure Ones arrived, and the Gouchen Great Emperor descended amid the standoff.

Du Yu explained how he used the Legend Management Bureau’s hidden teleportation array and his connection to Sage to organize an ambush against He Suoyi’s forces.

Du Yu was nearly overwhelmed by Maudgalyayana’s black mist until Yang Jian intervened and stayed behind to fight him. Maudgalyayana exposed Yang Jian’s anguish over his mother’s imprisonment as their battle continued.

• Yang Jian and Maudgalyayana exchanged powerful blows, and Maudgalyayana taunted Yang Jian about his imprisoned mother beneath Peach Mountain.

Yang Jian resisted Maudgalyayana’s attempt to draw him into Extreme Darkness after Ibaraki Doji reminded him not to betray his allies. Elsewhere, Black Impermanence faced Mahakasyapa, a scar-covered ascetic and one of Buddha’s Ten Great Disciples, while White Impermanence went to seek other opponents.
