The gathering lasted for three days and three nights.
Notably, during the gathering, Wang Ping asked Xia Wen Yi in front of everyone if he possessed the memories of the Locust Tree Divine Soul. In response, Xia Wen Yi copied the memory for Wang Ping. It consisted mostly of a great forest fire, with no signs of any living beings.
After Xia Wen Yi handed over his memory, Xuanling also gave Wang Ping the one he had obtained upon advancing to the Second Realm. His memory was of a vast, silent, and dark space, where an occasional beam of light would appear. For the most part, however, there was only silence and darkness. After viewing it, Wang Ping had the bizarre sensation that time had stopped.
After the gathering ended, Wang Ping had Shen Xiaozhu and Xuanling stay behind.
"You both have reached a critical point in your cultivation. Especially you, Xiaozhu. You should be able to enter seclusion at any time to seek a breakthrough, correct?" Wang Ping asked.
