• Lu Changzhi applied the glue to a spirit beast, stopping its spiritual power from circulating, then freed it by sticking the glue back onto itself.
• The Tai Clan experts returned home, doubted that the Huaxia Sect had truly let them go, and suspected the sect was trying to make other factions target them.
• Tai Da asked the Tai Clan experts what they should do, and they agreed to conceal their identities and leave the area to avoid the growing danger.

Mortals traveled to seek the Immortal-Slaying Power while Gu De remained inside studying it with Tai Jiuling. At the Huaxia Sect, Xia Xun sent a group of youths who could not cultivate to a trial that would decide whether they received the sect’s support.

• A tavern newcomer learned that reaching the Immortal-Slaying Power on foot could take years or decades, and lamented that the opportunity was so far away.
• Mortals arrived at the Immortal-Slaying Power’s desolate region and walked onward, some complaining about the hardships while others resolved to keep going.

Sun Xuan passed the Huaxia Sect’s test by lifting a point of light and believed he was the only one to qualify, but his hand blistered and his health worsened while he waited in his assigned room. The Huaxia Sect then transported him and many others to a palace, revealing that a large group had undergone the same process.

• Sun Xuan lifted the point of light, chose the path reserved for those who passed, and vowed to take revenge on the Azure Cloud Sect.
• A Huaxia Sect expert told Sun Xuan that one person had arrived before him and arranged for him to rest in lodgings.
• Sun Xuan’s palm blistered and the pain spread up his arm, but he could not open the door and decided to endure what he thought was another test.
