Zongzheng Lie tracked Lu Li to the Dao Academy’s fleet, eager to claim the treasure he believed could help him deal with Ao Qing. As Lu Li began the Spirit Descent Plan with Lu Yao, Zongzheng Lie saw something on the ship that made him cry out that the Western Continent had seven heavenly mandates.

• Canyue confirmed that the cultivator in Yintong’s memories was Lu Li, and Zongzheng Lie ordered him and Jingfeng to lead the way.

• Ao Qing realized it had not received the dragon position fate pattern and thrashed in fury as resentment began consuming it.
• Dongfang Jiangxue sensed that Ao Qing’s transformation had failed and wondered who had taken its qualification to become a dragon.

• As Lu Li and the surviving forces pressed their attack, Zongzheng Lie asked Jingfeng and Canyue to help him.

After the battle, demons and human cultivators retreated to recover, unaware that the Litian Dao Court was rapidly expanding within the Demon Manor.

As the Dao Court expanded its rule, Mei Yu and Mei Yong surveyed villages and recorded their people while the new Hidden Dragon Academy promised education and cultivation opportunities to all.

• After Li Nanci and the others left, the exquisite die resumed issuing tasks and urged Li Nanci to become Lu Li’s True Disciple.

• Yinyang Qingfan blamed the descendants of the Zou Household in the Central Continent for her troubles and vowed to confront them when she returned.

Yinyang Qingfan studied a puppet taken from Lu Li’s master and grew suspicious of Lu Li’s identity. She retrieved Ao Qing’s dragon pearl, renamed Karmic Retribution Dragon Mountain Imprisoned Dragon Mountain, and set a million Demon Beasts against Lu Li with a fabricated imperial command.

Li Qingshan prepared to reveal cultivation footage during the Spring Festival film releases, hoping publicizing Lu Li would strengthen his power of fortune and let Great Xia reshape Blue Star. As the holiday approached, Luo Zheng worked at a Spirit Treasure Shop and watched a huge cultivation warship announce the films and the slogan “The whole nation cultivates!”
