Fang Chen emerged from three years of cultivation in the Nine-Colored Lotus Pond with a Golden Core that had undergone fourteen transformations, then asked Dao Master Honghe to help him pursue a more powerful sword technique and learn about the Glazed Paper Cranes. He discovered that the cranes came from a sealed Origin World and left with Honghe for Glazed Valley, where the sect would try to open it.

• Gao Yan and Zhang Ning found Su Ming guarding Fang Sheng, who had been cultivating beneath the lotus pond for ten days, and invited Su Ming to hunt the Green Bat King with them.
