Qi Yuan struggled to refine divine artifacts while blind, and the Blind Woman taught him to awaken a mind’s eye by observing the distant exit of Divine Wood Abyss. Elsewhere, Feng Ti was ordered to hunt the fate of Green Mountain Realm and kill Qi Yuan, while Insect Woman Cai Die and Shen Lingxuan heard a mysterious noise beneath their hot spring.

He returned to the Divine Wood Abyss to refine artifacts, then woke after an unknown woman visited him in the night and suspected the Blind Woman.
