• Luo King sent Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen into the Divine Abode Cave Heaven hurricane to investigate its potential for breakthroughs, while Dong Ze reported that Qin Feng had come to the capital to plead guilty.

• Ji Yun, Cui Chengzhi, Divine Luo King, and Ye Yukong each chose to enter Jixi Province with Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing led his companions through the dangerous Jixi Dao Field, where distorted rules and an Earth Puppet threatened everyone who entered. After finding a Heavenly Spirit Essence and learning that entry to the True Inheritance Hall required a challenge beyond one’s rank, Zhao Xing proposed exploiting the wording by having Divine Luo King challenge someone weaker.

• Purple Violet Heavenly Lord and the Four Extremes Sect dispatched experts to investigate Jixi Province, while Zhao Xing’s group arrived first and cautiously explored the ruined Dao field.
• Zhao Xing’s clones revealed deadly rules inside the Dao field, and an Earth Puppet chased Ye Yukong, Divine Luo King, Ji Yun, and Cui Chengzhi until Zhao Xing’s other clones rescued them.

• After the Heavenly Spirit Essence matured, Zhao Xing asked the Earth Puppet how to enter the True Inheritance Hall and learned that entrants had to complete a challenge beyond their rank.
• Zhao Xing told Divine Luo King to kill a Third Grade member of the Corpse Puppet Sect, arguing that challenging someone below his rank still counted as a challenge beyond his rank.

Zhao Xing’s expedition into Jixi Province ended after the Witch Moon God intervened, and Ji Che warned him that the Witch Moon God was targeting him. Zhao Xing stayed within Great Zhou, expanded his research and overseas campaign, and launched a Dao Discussion Conference to unify the three agricultural factions and strengthen the nation.
