Forty-nine days later, disciples of the major Innate Sects completed their training within the "Lotus Pool Secret Realm" and returned to the massive valley where they had previously gathered.
"He… just left like that?"
"Ran off to the Three Thousand Great Worlds all by himself?"
When Dongfang Rushi and Baili Mingyue received Fang Bai's Space Ring from Gu Yan and heard the words Fang Bai had left behind, they both refused to believe it was true.

Months later, Dongfang Rushi and Baili Mingyue arrived together at the Huaxia Sect.
When the sect learned from the two women that Fang Bai had climbed the Heavenly Ladder, a somber and oppressive atmosphere hung over the Huaxia Sect.
