Sili reveals to Ning Wei that the Zhou Emperor is their master reincarnated, but reaching him is dangerous. The sect master, Jiang Qingyi, is the National Preceptor, and the Emperor's two consorts are also powerful cultivators, all in the Ascension Realm. Ning Wei realizes she may have been detected by Consort Xue, and Sili advises her on what to say if questioned. Meanwhile, the Emperor Xiao Mo feels refreshed after a night of spiritual power refinement, while Consort Xue is weary from suppressing her own power. The Book of a Hundred Lives announces the preparation for its sixth life.
