• Ling Yi reflected on the kindness of his second uncle's family and watched as people across Dafeng City gathered for Demonic Qi enhancements.

• Xiao Li agreed that immortal cultivators might exist, and Ling Yi wondered how Ye Chen could cultivate with Demonic Qi resurging.

After the authorities cleared Dafeng City and released information about their anti-Demon Person weapons, Ling Yi met Ye Chen and discovered that he cultivated immortality by charging himself with electricity.

• Ling Yi recognized Ye Chen’s lightning-element True Yuan and the dismantled power strip, then learned that Ye Chen cultivated immortality by charging himself with electricity.
• Ling Yi argued that Ye Chen should cultivate the demonic path because Demonic Qi was widespread and Ye Chen’s immortal cultivation was weak and dependent on electricity.
