Ye Tian began arranging demon companions for them, while Yuan Haoran was immobilized and tormented by a she-bear, and the rabbit asked to take a female rabbit demon away.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi cast a spell on Gou Yan to make him reveal whether Su Duanhun had visited the City of the Lost.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi mistook Gou Yan for a candidate backed by Su Duanhun and offered to help him become Demon Emperor.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi favored the City of the Lost by making it send the first contender into the arena.

• Gou Yan frowned, unconvinced that Kui Heifeng had actually swallowed his grandmaster.

Gou Yan then wagered with Eastern Emperor Taiyi over whether Xiong Da could win the Innate Primordial Violet Qi, and Guiche appeared to challenge him.

• Kui Heifeng swallowed Su Yi, but Su Yi emerged with the snake demon’s core and gallbladder, leaving Kui Heifeng gravely weakened.

• Guiche, Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s strongest subordinate and a Quasi-Sage Ninth Heaven demon lord, appeared to fight Su Yi for the Innate Primordial Violet Qi.

Su Yi struck Guiche once and sent him into his domain world, where Jiuying revealed that Su Yi kept demons as pets and might turn Guiche into an ingredient. Back in Fusang Demon City, Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the watching demons could not find Guiche and mistook his disappearance for a display of spatial mastery.

• Su Yi taunted Guiche, provoking the nine-headed bird into attacking him.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi watched the fight and assumed Su Yi intended to teach Xiong Da a lesson.
• Su Yi's bear paw struck Guiche without a visible burst of power, and Guiche vanished into Su Yi's domain world.
• Jiuying told Guiche that he was Su Yi's pet and warned that Guiche might eventually become an ingredient.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi searched Fusang Demon City for Guiche, while the demons assumed Guiche had hidden himself with a spatial technique.

Su Yi, posing as Xiong Da, defeated Taowu after Guiche mysteriously disappeared, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi suspected Su Duanhun was behind both vanishings. Taiyi ended the contest and awarded the Demon Clan's first wisp of Innate Primordial Violet Qi to the City of the Lost.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi ordered the demons to prepare to conquer the Buddhist Sect and occupy several territories, while directing Su Yi and the others to a suspected site of Innate Primordial Violet Qi.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi said the location might hold the first wisp of Innate Primordial Violet Qi and told Su Yi and the others to handle the search, since he was bound by agreements not to act.

Su Yi and Gou Yan followed a battle over innate primordial violet qi, where Yang Jian and the Heavenly Court's proper gods fought a powerful red-haired monster. Su Yi recognized the monster as the corpse of Suirenshi, which had absorbed demonic qi and begun refining the violet qi, and the corpse awakened before the battle could be resolved.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi gave Gou Yan the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and left him to seek the innate primordial violet qi himself.

• Yang Jian struck Suirenshi with golden light, burning away its red hair and revealing its desiccated body.
• Violet flames appeared in Suirenshi's eye sockets as it released a terrifying aura, and Yang Jian realized the corpse had come back to life.

The Heavenly Court gods failed to harm Suirenshi and fled as he finished transforming. He grabbed Gou Yan and began roasting him, leaving Gou Yan calling for help.

• Yang Jian ordered the Heavenly Court gods to retreat and asked Li Huanzhang to summon the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Su Yi stopped Suirenshi from eating Gou Yan and reunited with the resurrected ancient friend, then began cooking a meal with ingredients from the City of the Lost. Gou Yan watched from afar and mistook Su Yi’s use of his wings for a selfless plan to protect him, leaving him overwhelmed with guilt and gratitude.

• Su Yi stopped Suirenshi from eating Gou Yan and revealed himself, prompting Suirenshi to recognize him as Shennong.
• Su Yi sensed that the innate primordial violet qi he had modified gave him control over Suirenshi’s life and death, and considered how Ye Xiaxuan’s qi was different.
• Su Yi brought out the Shennong Cauldron and recalled how he and Suirenshi had first met and how he taught him to cook with fire.
• Su Yi began cooking with ingredients from the City of the Lost and roasted Gou Yan’s wings while Suirenshi waited eagerly.
• Gou Yan saw Su Yi cooking his wings and convinced himself that his grandmaster had sacrificed them to protect him, then felt ashamed for having doubted and abandoned Su Yi.

Su Yi shared roasted wings with the resurrected Suirenshi while Gou Yan nervously faced the Human Emperor and the Three Pure Ones. After recognizing the Three Pure Ones, Suirenshi asked Su Yi whether immortals still controlled the Human Clan’s fate, leaving the question of his response unresolved.

• Gou Yan charged back toward Suirenshi but surrendered his robe when Suirenshi demanded clothes, and Su Yi offered him a roasted wing that he refused.

• Suirenshi recognized the Three Pure Ones and asked how the Human Clan was faring in the Immortal Realm.
• Suirenshi asked whether immortals still controlled the Human Clan’s life and death, and Su Yi had not yet answered.

• The Celestial Venerable of the Dao and Virtue denied that the Immortal Realm had interfered in the Human Clan’s lives, and Suirenshi questioned whether Sages counted as human.
