• A woman in a colorful gown, a swordsman from Myriad Sword Pavilion, an old man from Starfall Pavilion, and the Yellow Springs Pavilion’s elder reacted to events involving Chen Mo and prepared to investigate or report them.
• Yun Yun and Medusa left the Blood Pool to check on Chen Mo, who admitted he had been injured while refining the Energy Tide and told them to return to the pool.

Meanwhile, several Dou Venerables arrived at the devastated Tianmu Mountain Range and realized their fallen subordinates had likely been killed by the same opponent.

• Chen Mo entered a hidden space at the bottom of the Blood Pool and used the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force to refine its energy, eventually forming a Blood Cocoon as he cultivated.
