Long Qing struggled intensely with the almighty books, frustrated that he couldn't comprehend their true meaning, even to the point of spitting blood. Meanwhile, Ye Hongyu took out a handkerchief, reminding her of her past encounter with Ning Que in the Badlands, where they saved each other’s lives. Ning Que then approached Ye Hongyu, asking her to teach Sangsang divine skills.
He explained that Sangsang, destined to become the High Priest of Light Hall, needed to learn these skills to alleviate the severe cold poison she had suffered from since childhood. To convince Ye Hongyu, Ning Que offered to exchange the Academy’s Qi of Magnanimous techniques and even return Liu Bai’s Dahe Sword meaning, a chance to understand the world's strongest sword intent. Despite Sangsang's initial hesitation, Ning Que insisted that nothing was more important than her well-being.
Ye Hongyu agreed, stating it was the duty of anyone from the West Shrine to help the future High Priest. When Ning Que thanked her, Ye Hongyu refused to take back the Dahe Sword meaning, firmly stating that she never allowed her gifts to be rejected and considered teaching Sangsang as payment for her recent stay.
Long Qing expressed his frustration to a strange old man, reflecting on how the Temple Master had saved him from a living-death state and sent him to the holy Zhi Shou Temple to cultivate. He recounted working as a scullion and serving the old man, yet he was still insulted as a "loser." Long Qing retorted that if he were truly a loser, the Temple Master would not have brought him there.
Despite the old man’s insults, Long Qing affirmed his resolve to defeat Ning Que and reclaim everything he had lost. The old man revealed that Long Qing had secretly studied the Grey Eyes Skills, intending to absorb his power, but lacked the necessary cruelty. Long Qing admitted to studying the skills but denied any intent to harm him. The old man then explained Long Qing's fundamental weakness compared to Ning Que: his pride as a prince.
He emphasized that to become the strongest, one must abandon all pride and "melt oneself into the mud," noting that while Long Qing had knelt physically, his heart remained standing. He offered to transfer half of his power if Long Qing had begged him on their first day, but Long Qing found this impossible, unable to shed his pride. The old man continued to admonish Long Qing, branding his pride a cheap facade for his greed.
He then recounted his own past, revealing he was once a powerful cultivator who had been cut at the waist by Ke Haoran after impersonating a Demonic Cult remnant to help Lian Sheng kill Ke Haoran's wife. He vowed to destroy the Academy in revenge. When Long Qing informed him Ke Haoran had died decades ago, the old man was enraged and distraught.
He instructed Long Qing that true strength requires abandoning all emotions and even faith, urging him to treat Haotian as "nothing." Long Qing, however, declared his unwavering faith, believing his new heart, mended with peach blossoms by the Temple Master, reflected Haotian's will. When pressed for his greatest desire, Long Qing finally admitted he wanted to destroy the Academy and kill Ning Que. The old man, seeing his ambition, offered half his power.
As Long Qing began to absorb it, his greed intensified, and he demanded more. The old man cursed him, but Long Qing asserted that his desire for all the power was Haotian's will. Despite the old man’s protests, Long Qing drained him of all his power, explaining that Haotian had commanded the old man's sacrifice. The old man, accepting his fate as liberation, died, and a reborn Long Qing triumphantly declared his return to the heavens.
Ye Hongyu urged Ye Qing to leave the capital, but he insisted on staying to verify if Ning Que, son of General Lin Guangyuan, was indeed the Son of the Underworld. As a Universe Traveler of the West Shrine, he felt it was his duty. He advised Ye Hongyu to return to the West Shrine, acknowledging her loyalty. Ye Qing then confronted her, accusing her of forcing their brother, Chen Pippi, to leave the Zhi Shou Temple.
Ye Hongyu justified her actions, stating her belief that Ye Qing was the most qualified to inherit the Master's position. Ye Qing revealed her manipulation: she had told Pippi that the Master intended to pass the leadership to him. The selfless Pippi, who admired Ye Qing, left for the Academy so his brother could become the Master. Ye Qing furiously accused her of exploiting Pippi’s kindness. When she defiantly asked, "So what?"
, he raised his hand to strike her but ultimately could not. Ning Que dedicated himself to cultivating the Dahe Sword meaning until he reached the limits of his current understanding. Meanwhile, Long Qing returned to the Zhi Shou Temple and stole the almighty book and a valuable Cultivation Pill.
Confronted by Yi Cheng, Long Qing declared that he had killed the half-waist sage and was now the strongest cultivator in the West Shrine, making the theft trivial as only he could defeat the Son of the Underworld. Yi Cheng revealed that the Master had orchestrated Long Qing’s past hardships to temper him, but Long Qing dismissed this as torture. Before Yi Cheng could retrieve it, Long Qing consumed the pill, instantly entering the Stage of All-Knowing and vanishing.
The Temple Master instructed Yi Cheng not to pursue him, suggesting that if Long Qing survived, he might be the one the Taoist Sect had sought for millennia. Ye Hongyu diligently instructed Sangsang, marveling at her extraordinary talent. Ning Que, having gained all he could from the Dahe Sword meaning, returned it to Ye Hongyu.
He shared his concerns about his impending battle with Xia Hou, who was already a peak master in the Stage of All-Knowing, while Ning Que was still at the threshold. Worried he might die, he asked Ye Hongyu to look after Sangsang. Ye Hongyu firmly declared that Ning Que's life was hers to take and no one else could. She reiterated her commitment to protecting Sangsang, the daughter of the Light.
Meanwhile, the Emperor of Tang confronted Li Peiyan, swiftly defeating him. Li Peiyan confessed to bribing officials to frame General Lin Guangyuan for treason and colluding with the High Priest of Light Hall, Wei Guangming, and General Xia Hou to massacre the Lin family. He claimed it was for the sake of the world, to prepare for the coming eternal night. The Emperor vehemently rejected this, declaring that no apocalypse could justify murdering innocents and that a man should face his fate with dignity.
