Ye Xuan offered Six-Eared Macaque a way to escape the Heavenly Dao’s suppression and grow stronger by learning alongside Intelligent Stone Monkey at Nuwa’s palace. After Ye Xuan invoked the Human Dao and Earthly Dao to protect him, Six-Eared Macaque’s shackles disappeared, and Ye Xuan asked whether he would submit to him.

• Ye Xuan kissed Wushuang goodbye and traveled to the western lands, heading for the desert where Luohu and Hongjun had fought.

Ye Xuan searched the 330,000-li desert for Demon Ancestor Luohu’s remains, fighting a powerful sandworm and finding a Demon-Suppressing Stone. After removing the stone, he entered the cave beneath it, while a group arrived and discovered the stone was gone.

• Ye Wudao's Devil Qi failed to harm Ye Xuan, who mocked her and flicked a booger at her.
• Ye Xuan's booger struck Ye Wudao and blasted her into the air, leaving him puzzled that he still had boogers after becoming a Saint.
