Gu Qing brought Gu Yao and Xia Shuran to the Extreme Summer Martial Arts School, then visited Xia Wuyuan to seek martial arts guidance and test whether the old immortal could detect the Deity Girl. After flattering Xia Wuyuan and giving him a gift, Gu Qing recognized that the elder was investing in his talent in hopes of finding a way forward for his own stalled cultivation.

• Gu Qing struck Xia Wuyuan, who absorbed and returned the attack with nearly no loss of power.
• Xia Wuyuan instructed Gu Qing to weave a Qi and Blood Filter, and Gu Qing successfully formed one after watching the demonstration once.

Gu Yao, controlled by the Deity Girl, led Gu Qing into the woods and absorbed the evil god essence spilling from an Other-Dimensional Rift while Gu Qing absorbed spiritual energy and evolved to advanced Fifth Order. When Night Court Court Master Lu Chenye arrived, the Deity Girl attacked him through Gu Yao, leaving him wary as a mutating aura spread around her.

• Gu Yao suddenly ran toward the glowing woods, and Gu Qing followed her while Xia Shuran was left outside the gray mist that blocked the entrance.

• The Deity Girl erased Lu Chenye’s memories of her, Gu Qing, and Gu Yao, then vanished as the gray mist barrier dissipated.
