Huang Tong, Xiao Hua’s Phoenix Dharma Body, returned, captured the two demons, and helped Xiao Hua catch up with Ancestor Hongmeng, whose Primordial Spirit Huang Tong pulled from the Yin Yang Illustrated Manual.

• Xiao Hua reasoned that the treasure ship’s departure, the Nine Provinces Great Formation, and Ye Jian’s breakthrough had opened a path for Huang Tong to return.

• After fighting erupted across Xiao Kingdom for half an hour, Fu Zhiwen arrived with Lan Dianzi, Li Xiang, and Xiong Yi, bringing the bound Lan Dianzi before Xiao Hua.

• Six-Eared Macaque told Xiao Hua that he regretted his past violence and believed his body and former actions were not his true self.

Xiao Hua and Chunzang discussed Six-Eared Macaque’s past and the dangers facing Chunzang’s scripture-seeking journey, but Chunzang refused protection so he could walk his own path. As Xiao Hua’s disciples fought the World-Ending Mayflies, Huang Tong identified them as possibly related to Larval Insects and raised questions about their missing Mother Insect.

• Chunzang counseled Six-Eared Macaque, who thanked him and chose not to restore his body fully.
• Xiao Hua offered to escort Chunzang or send Creation Sect disciples to protect him, but Chunzang refused both offers.

• Huang Tong destroyed nearby mayflies and told Xiao Hua that they resembled Larval Insects but lacked a Mother Insect.
• Xiao Hua released Creation Sect disciples to fight the mayflies and asked Huang Tong what the Mother Insect and Larval Insects looked like.

• Huang Tong explained that Mother Insects created phantom Larval Insects and that killing the Mother Insects was necessary to stop the Mayflies at their source.
• Xiao Hua proposed that the Immortal Palace, Thunder Sound Temple, Great Sacred Hall, and Dragon Island search the Three Great Continents for Mother Insects while he and Huang Tong went to Xiaoyu Continent.

• Thunderclap True Person took Princess Qingqing and Yu Xiajing toward the Immortal Palace, while Xiao Hua and Huang Tong discussed whether Qingqing could change and whether the Immortal Palace could be trusted.

Xiao Hua left Xiao Kingdom after gathering the citizens and Creation Sect disciples willing to relocate, reflecting on why he could not force the rest to accept his protection. He and Huang Tong returned to Yuanxi Reef Plain, where Xiao Hua learned more about Huang Tong’s life in the Profound Origin Space and reunited with Liu Yi and the others.

• Fellow Daoist Tianren stopped the fight after realizing that the wager would cost him his Eighth Master position either way.
