• Xumi explained to Jiying that he wanted to keep Wang Ba from drawing attention, while Qu Shentong told Wang Ba he had taken the Sect Master's position partly to shield him from burdensome duties.
• At the Myriad Phenomena Scripture Repository, Qu Shentong and Wang Ba met Jiang Yi, who introduced herself as a ninth-generation disciple of the Cloud-Heaven Realm's Myriad Phenomena Sect.

Wang Ba later entered the Myriad Gods Kingdom through his divine statue and discovered its halls were being carried across the sea on enormous ships.
