Meanwhile, Sang Ying awoke in a version of her past where Gu Huaiwei was gentle and the long-dead sect master was alive, leaving her unsure of what had happened.

Back in Ten Thousand Daos Born, the sect discovered mutilated bodies in the Teleportation Array and feared that Sang Ying and the others were in danger in the Cloud Mulberry Realm.

Sang Ying overcame the Heart Devil Mirror’s underwater illusion by fighting through its monsters, while the mirror spirit and the souls watched helplessly. After she cleared the pool and found a glowing pearl in a giant shell, the mirror spirit feared the Mirror Pearl would recognize her as its master.

• Sang Ying broke free of the hands dragging her underwater and charged into the abyss to destroy the monsters with her bare hands.

• The mirror spirit collapsed when it saw the pearl and said the Heart Devil Mirror had brought out the Mirror Pearl, which would acknowledge Sang Ying as its master.

Outside, the masked man sent Qi Yaoji to alter a Teleportation Array and dropped the mirror into a deathly fissure, leaving Sang Ying’s fate uncertain.

• Sang Ying refused the Mirror Pearl and asked whether the Heart Devil Mirror contained more illusory realms.
