After defeating Qian Daoliu, Ning Rongrong and Shizaki Kuang San retreated to a deserted island so Ning Rongrong could cultivate in the City of Devouring Time. Nearly two and a half years later, Ning Rongrong emerged from seclusion, while an unexplained marker remained on the island.

• Ning Rongrong emerged from a dark crimson sphere, carrying the Angel Holy Sword and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After two and a half years of cultivation, Ning Rongrong encountered the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and used a convincing illusion to escape his attempt to devour her. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King realized he had been tricked, while Ning Rongrong disappeared through space.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King defended himself against the apparent attack, then discovered that Ning Rongrong and the battle scene had vanished in a spatial escape.

Ning Rongrong, pursued through Wind Flame Forest by a Titan Giant Ape after escaping the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, prepared to fight back as she neared the forest’s outer region.
