Yan Hui recalled that Ling Xiao had once said that as long as it was a demon, they would always consciously or unconsciously reveal something they feared or cared about. By seizing their weaknesses, one could strike a fatal blow. Yan Hui also remembered how much Ying Huo cared about her appearance and repeatedly flaunted her pair of precious glass-like eyes. Ying Huo also liked to entangle people with silk. Yan Hui speculated that Ying Huo's true form was a moth, so she planned to defeat her using primitive methods.

After singing a song in the woods, Ying Huo decided to see how Tian Yao and Yan Hui were doing. She was determined to capture Tian Yao, no matter what, and replace Yan Hui in receiving Tian Yao's love. While Yan Hui continuously rotated the Chi Yan Long Ya following the principle of friction fire, she warned Ying Huo not to try to take advantage of Tian Yao, unable to restrain herself from constantly reminding Ying Huo. Just as Ying Huo was enjoying Yan Hui's angry yet helpless expression, the Chi Yan Long Ya finally ignited. Ying Huo immediately revealed her true form as a moth and plunged into the fire. She was unwilling to die like this and wanted to drag Yan Hui down with her. Fortunately, Chen Yi appeared in time and stopped Ying Huo, while Tian Yao successfully freed himself from the silk when Ying Huo was in danger.

When Yan Hui woke up, Tian Yao brought her medicine and, knowing that she disliked bitterness, prepared sweet snacks for her. Tian Yao asked if Yan Hui had feelings for him again. Yan Hui thought of what happened last night and wished she could bury her face in the bowl. She constantly reminded herself of the words spoken at the cold spring about severing emotions and loyalty, trying to control her own heart. But Tian Yao already knew Yan Hui's feelings and couldn't help but think how good it would have been if it were Yan Hui he had encountered twenty years ago.

Chen Yi is the Grand Sovereign of Qingqiu and also Snow Lin's husband. He can translate the Youming Fu quickly. Yan Hui and Tian Yao learned from Chen Yi that Youming Fu is actually Fu Yin's technique, a type of dark energy different from any power in the Xuan and Yao realms, independent from them. Although Snow Lin devoted her life to studying dark energy, she ultimately failed to eliminate it. She only managed to develop a technique to control it, hoping to counter it with even stronger dark energy. Tian Yao's Chi Yan Long Ya has a restraining effect on dark energy, and after learning this, Chen Yi invited Yan Hui and Tian Yao to stay longer and study how to eliminate the dark energy together.

Bai Xiaosheng took the genuine copy of Youming Fu to find Fu Yin. Initially, Fu Yin promised to return Bai Xiaosheng's true form once he obtained Youming Fu. But Bai Xiaosheng changed his mind and wanted to exchange it for Yan Hui's freedom. Fu Yin sneered and said that whether it was Bai Xiaosheng's true form, Yan Hui's freedom, or Youming Fu, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn't get any of them. After saying this, Fu Yin intentionally harmed himself, and Bai Xiaosheng immediately started bleeding. Fu Yin found Bai Xiaosheng annoying and kicked him out while tightly holding onto Youming Fu, hoping to find a message from Snow Lin addressed to him in the book.

Yin Yue Cliff was the place where Chen Yi and Snow Lin bid farewell. Chen Yi used to watch the sunrise there every day because when Snow Lin reached the eighth level of Youming Fu, she felt that she would be devoured by dark energy. Therefore, she sealed her sea of consciousness with Frost Art and wore a wedding dress for her final dance before disappearing into the world. After that, Yin Yue Cliff experienced ten consecutive days of snowfall, and the world was draped in pure white, as if mourning Snow Lin.

Feng Qianshuo made a replica of a flower as a gift for Xian Ge. They finally managed to communicate after great difficulty, but the flower issued a warning, indicating that a group of evil cultivators was approaching. Feng Qianshuo wanted to buy more time for Xian Ge, so he went out to delay them. He used the flower to deceive the people sent by Chang Lan, but unexpectedly, Chang Lan personally arrived and caused the flower to fall from the sky. In order to prevent Xian Ge from being exposed, Feng Qianshuo detonated the flower, angering Chang Lan.

Yan Hui had memorized all of Youming Fu but couldn't gain entry to its secrets. One day, while flipping through it, she noticed two sentences that were similar to the Xuanmen Heart Technique she had previously practiced. She immediately sought guidance from Chen Yi. Chen Yi knew that practicing Youming Fu would bring suffering as the meridians would reverse, and he asked Yan Hui if she was prepared to face death. However, Yan Hui practiced Youming Fu for the sake of survival and now fulfilled the conditions for cultivation. Chen Yi then instructed Yan Hui to start practicing, a technique that would torment her. Fu Yin sensed that Yan Hui was practicing his technique and was very displeased. He used dark energy to torment Yan Hui, causing her to quickly faint in Tian Yao's arms.

Tian Yao is a divine dragon born from heaven and earth, containing the purest and most pristine energy within him. If he had participated in the battle in the past, Fu Yin would probably have been destroyed. Since Tian Yao had not yet been born at that time, no one knew about his constitution. Now, for the sake of Yan Hui and the Yao clan, Tian Yao was willing to take a risk.
