Fang Mo cultivated the Mysterious Ice Force alongside his Xiantian Pure Yang Internal Force, despite Yue Quan and Luo Jiangyan’s concerns. When the opposing energies threatened his Dantian and meridians, he used his understanding of Tai Chi to bring them into balance, then discovered he could fuse them into yin and yang energies.

• Fang Mo learned that Suxin's team had found Azure Spirit Fruit and led the five teams to their location.
