Chen Fei killed a strange Creation Realm insectoid creature and recovered a jade tablet that transformed into the Divine Beast Ruler, a Mystic Treasure capable of commanding Winged, Scaled, Furry, Feathered, and Insectoid Beasts.

• Chen Fei fused the Divine Summoning Blood Prison Technique into the Nether River Abyss Heaven Technique as he continued toward the third location he had deduced.

After creating Heaven Cleaving and using the bedrock to empower the Hidden Origin Bell, he tried to push the bell beyond peak mid-grade, but it had not yet advanced.

• Chen Fei transferred the Nether Slash Sword's treasures and spiritual essence into the Hidden Origin Bell and Qian Yuan Sword, then examined Gui Huai Dan's memories and belongings.

• Chen Fei fused the golden bead with the Hidden Origin Bell, but after a day the bell remained at peak mid-grade, so he infused it with all his intrinsic essence.

Chen Fei helped the Hidden Origin Bell endure its Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, allowing it to advance into a High-grade Creation Profound Treasure. After securing the treasures in the desolate land, he prepared to leave and planned to leave clues for the other Creation Realm cultivators.

• Chen Fei assessed how the Hidden Origin Bell strengthened his defenses and how his cultivation techniques and rules could further increase his combat strength.
• Chen Fei took the Hidden Origin Bell and left the spot, intending to create traces that would help other Creation Realm cultivators find a way out of the desolate land.
