I Am the First, the Last, and the Only - Episode 7

After the Celestial Sect's Grandmaster dies without leaving a legacy, members find only a few cultivation manuals and fear no one can reach Core Stage, declaring the sect finished. Faced with denser spiritual energy nearby, Zack, Yuna and others decide to relocate and cultivate immediately to force breakthroughs. Aiden refuses. When offered grade-two Energy Pills to speed progress, he says, "I don't want to," arguing that without surviving the mortal trial breaking through is meaningless and the pills are low-tier. The sect splits between hopeful cultivators and Aiden's isolation, leaving them exposed to Crimson Sect's looming revenge.
