He learned that a powerful Charming Blue Lightning roamed the land, but discovered the blessed land still had Stone Men and abundant Green Grape Immortal Essence.

• Fang Yuan learned that the blessed land held nearly a million ordinary Gu, about 4.7 million foxes, and time that flowed five times faster than outside, though it accelerated his aging as well.
• Earth Spirit Fox Immortal showed Fang Yuan the eastern region ruined by black flames and the northern grasslands drowned by a flood, damage caused by earlier earthly calamities.
• Earth Spirit Fox Immortal revealed that Charming Blue Lightning, a humanoid calamity powerful enough to rival a Rank 6 Gu Immortal, still wandered the blessed land and had likely killed Fox Immortal.

• Fang Yuan reassured Little Fox Immortal that the blessed land could recover despite its severe losses, then went to rest.

• Immortal Crane Sect’s disciples waited at Ladder Mountain while Fang Zheng brooded over Fang Yuan’s victory and the sect’s plan to recruit him.
