• Ling Yi recognized Ip Man and told him that survivors were stowaways whom the world rejected, while Ip Man remained skeptical.

Ling Yi tested the instance world by inviting Ip Man to leave with him and learn Wing Chun, but Ip Man refused, so Ling Yi left him three gold bars. That night, Ling Yi unleashed his shadow army against the foreigners in Hong Kong City, and he told Ip Man and Hung Chun-nam that the attack was only the beginning.

• Ling Yi told Ip Man that his world might be fictional and offered to take him away, but Ip Man refused because he had a family and did not trust Ling Yi.

Lin Xiaoyao brought Ling Yi to Southern Wilderness Stone City, where MA members were fighting the local cultivators, and prepared to activate a formation.

• Ling Yi and the cultivators arrived above Southern Wilderness Stone City, where MA members were battling the city’s cultivators and ordinary people lay dead in the streets.
• Lin Xiaoyao called the MA members fools and took out a formation disc, beginning to activate it.

Ling Yi returned from a dungeon world, defeated the MA members, and confronted the fellow transmigrator who had been plotting to destroy and save the world.
