After declining a border patrol mission to focus on cultivation, he emerged with combat power strong enough to dominate early-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivators.

• Chen Fei consumed a Return Sect Pill, judged that nine more would bring his Origin Point to its critical threshold, and considered earning Merit Points through classes, missions, or gambling duels.

• When Qiankun Mansion's rest month began, Jia Hongwen invited Chen Fei on a border patrol mission near Shanqiao City, but Chen Fei declined to consolidate his cultivation gains.
• Three days later, Chen Fei perfected See God Unending, raising his combat power by about twenty percent and allowing him to fight six first-ranked early-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivators at once.

As Chang Jiyun’s challenge began, Chen Fei blocked his opening attack with the Eternal Night King, and Chang Jiyun gathered his scattered soldiers into a single overwhelming strike.

• Chen Fei broke free of Chang Jiyun’s Soul Impact and stopped his probing blade strikes with the Qian Yuan Sword and Eternal Night Dharma Aspect.

• Jiang Chengji praised Chen Fei's talent, but questioned his desire to exchange for more inheritances.

• Chen Fei chose to focus on physical strength, and Jiang Chengji presented three recommended inheritances.

• Sun Moon Realm cultivators outside the courtyard envied Chen Fei but noted that Duan Shipan and others had already completed their second divine abilities ahead of the upcoming courtyard reassignment.

While condensing his second divine ability, Chen Fei discovered he could enter the Void and gather Rule Dust, a rare method with greater potential than orthodox cultivation. He fused one particle into his soul and found that See God Unending made its weight much easier to bear.

• As Chen Fei cultivated the Barren Slaughter Night Star Sword, a ripple appeared and revealed that he could break into the Void to seek divine abilities.
