• Wei Tianchen said he and Bamboo Sword Venerable would hide in the Chen Luo Barren Domain and ordered Zhao Xing to take them to Qing Yuzi’s former residence, which he believed was there.

Zhao Xing, Wei Tianchen, and Bamboo Sword Venerable found themselves stranded in a changed Profound Yellow World, where the world’s laws suppressed their abilities and prevented escape.

Zhao Xing and his companions learned that they had entered the Bone Netherworld, where white-bone beings could strengthen their spirits without tribulation by absorbing Soul Crystals. After testing the method and deciding to seek higher-tier crystals, they set out with Bai Junlan for Prostrate Bone Territory.

• Bai Junlan explained that the Southern Continent had become the Bone Netherworld after an Extreme Moon transformed its inhabitants into white bones, and that he belonged to the Divine Fire Sect.
• Zhao Xing persuaded Bamboo Sword Venerable to spare Bai Junlan, then absorbed three hundred third-tier Soul Crystals and strengthened his true spirit and bone physique.

• Wei Tianchen’s clone warned Zhao Xing that Dan Ye might seize his Dao, entrusted him with the Red Jade Thumb Ring, and instructed him to escape.
• After Wei Tianchen’s clone fell silent, Zhao Xing and Bamboo Sword Venerable chose to seek refuge at Yumo Cave Heaven rather than hide on the Southern Continent’s fringes.

• Fu Mengzhen had another episode after Zhao Xing gave her medicine, and the group traveled for about half a month before reaching varied terrain and spotting a huge creature with dragon horns.

Zhao Xing settled in Moyuan City under Fu Mengzhen’s protection, but Dan Ye, Free God sent Aiyisuo to hunt him down. The Eight Directions Divine Mirror revealed Zhao Xing’s slim chances of escaping, while his attempt to restore his body stalled because his technique required dual cultivation, leaving him to consider whether he had any alternative to practicing with Fu Mengzhen.

• Zhao Xing learned that restoring his flesh through the Desire Dream Method would take centuries because it required dual cultivation, while joining the Sky Patrol Divine Guards was nearly impossible.
• Fu Mengzhen said she could not afford another flesh-restoration technique, and Zhao Xing used medicine again when she became emotional before wondering whether dual cultivation with her was his only option.

Zhao Xing and Fu Mengzhen cultivated the Desire Dream Dual Cultivation Method for years, restoring their flesh and Zhao Xing’s cultivation until his Internal World reopened. With a powerful Spirit-Devouring Grass now willing to cooperate, Zhao Xing prepared to pursue the Sky Patrol Divine Guard assessment before Aiyisuo could gain an advantage.
