Chen Fei studied the Jiangshan Art and the mountain sea realm techniques collected from Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun, then merged useful material into the Heavenly Profound Sword. After assessing his new resources and refining his clone, he reflected on how few of his old arts could fully serve him at the mountain sea realm.

• Gu Danyang told Min Yanlu that Chen Fei had reached the Mountain Sea Realm, and Min Yanlu froze in disbelief.

• Gu Danyang reported that Chen Fei had broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm and killed two Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, and Min Yanlu accepted the report as credible.

• Chen Fei flew across the Endless Sea toward Nie Li, who had recovered from his wounds and grown stronger after consuming a Nirvana Fruit.

Chen Fei confronted the recovered Demon King Nie Li, who had sensed his essence blood being refined, and tested whether the Spirit Slaughter Technique could conceal his cultivation. Chen Fei revealed his Mountain Sea Realm strength, endured Nie Li’s full-force attack, and brutally smashed him into the sea; Nie Li begged for mercy, but Chen Fei struck him again.

• Nie Li sensed someone refining his essence blood and rushed toward Chen Fei, who had followed the resonance to its source.

• Tu Zaichuan’s blood spirits struck Chen Fei’s Hidden Origin Bell, whose power Chen Fei redirected into his attack, sending Fei Boyong crashing through several peaks with grave injuries.

Chen Fei overwhelmed Fei Boyong and pursued Tu Zaichuan, who tried to escape and then believed he could fight back after their first exchange. Chen Fei revealed his greater strength with a second strike, leaving Tu Zaichuan near death as Fei Boyong fled, and prepared to finish Tu Zaichuan.

• Chen Fei tested the Heaven Escaping Steps, and the Shift talent in his primary soul began to glow.

He spent a year strengthening his cultivation instead of going there, until news arrived that Sky Dew Flowers had appeared at Bone Cliff Mountain.
