- Lu Yang built ties with the One Heart Society, reported the Nine Transformations Dragon-Transformation Formula, and gained Emperor Jiayou’s blessing and Old Dragon Lord’s support.
- Lu Yang refined Heaven-Earth Union, created a Celestial Embryo Clone, and lured Chongguang toward Hongyun’s Grotto-Heaven Fragment in Jiangnan.
- Lu Yang defeated Hongyun with Returning Palace and the Double-Departure Imperial Mountain-Sea Chart, stripping him of his powers and treasures before Hongyun escaped to the Netherworld.
- True Lord Clear Serene Flying Snow destroyed Hongyun’s Grotto-Heaven Fragment amid a battle with the Sword Pavilion, but Sky Soaring preserved a tiny remnant and Lu Yang seized his approaching Divine Sense.
