Elsewhere, Lei Lie reached the Hunyuan Realm through an evil cultivation technique and set his sights on marrying the Divine Martial Imperial Court’s princess to shield his crimes and gain power.

• Ye Xingchen drank God-Intoxicating Immortal Brew as people downstairs discussed the Ancestral Emperor’s Tomb, the punch at the Undying Immortal Mausoleum, and Xiahou Weiyang’s identity as a woman.

Xiahou Xiongba gave Ye Xingchen the Divine Martial Imperial Token and left for the court, believing his granddaughter Xiahou Weiyang already belonged to Ye Xingchen.

• After tasting Ye Xingchen's wine, the white-haired elder apologized for dismissing it, and the two sat together and drank hundreds of bottles of God-Intoxicating Immortal Brew.
