• On the carriage ride, Gu Shaoshang reflected on how his reconstructed body could transform its stored powers and resolved to seek the Nine Cauldrons and uncover Emperor Yu’s identity.

• Gu Shaoshang comprehended the seventeenth and thirteenth axe stances and deduced that they were connected to the laws of the Earth and Metal elements.
• Tantai Huazhang realized the carvings had failed to recruit Gu Shaoshang, so the Tantai Family sent Qing'er to become his disciple and help him find the other carvings.

• Gu Shaoshang spotted a Wuzhui Horse running above the Yunmeng Great Marsh as a crimson-armored man pursued it and fired a rain of arrows.

• A sword-bearing man, a saber-bearing man, and an Old Monk accused Dugu Xingye of oppressing them too much.

• After more than a month of travel, Gu Shaoshang arrived on Bright Moon Island with Qing'er and sensed a jade tablet and a black cauldron hidden in a cave.

• Gu Shaoshang found Li Taibai's Sword Song above an abyss and told Qing'er not to look at its dangerous Sword Intent.
