• Luo Hong feigned an attack by Wood Kui to distract the Demon Concubine, who trapped Xiang Zhili in the Cracked Space with the Illusory Marvelous Heavenly Phenomenon.

• Luo Hong used his Profound Heaven Treasure to slice the Flying Immortal Stone into six pieces and stored them in his Myriad Treasures Pouch.

After exposing two hidden demons and testing the silver-light restriction, he watched the fighting bronze lions suddenly collapse, leaving the gathered cultivators poised to move toward the entrance.

• Luo Hong and Mu Kui passed through a damaged stone forest and found Old Demon Gan, the Square-faced Cultivator, and Hua Tianqi's group fighting guardians on a platform.

• Luo Hong told Hua Tianqi that saving him was compensation for keeping the Induction Bead, and that he and the Poison Saint Sect were now even.

• Old Demon Gan tested the Golden Magnetic Heavy Light with a demon monkey, which crawled forward before the magnetic force shattered its bones and killed it.

• Little humanlike beings appeared atop the trees, and Mu Kui identified the change as Wood Spirit Transformation.

• Hua Tianqi recognized Luo Hong’s feat as the lost Art of Enlightenment, but Luo Hong explained that a demonic flame had enabled the wood spirits to transform.
• Luo Hong formed a golden Spirit Orb from refined Metal Element Spiritual Qi, attracting the plump wood spirits and helping them break free of their root Restrictions.
• Luo Hong used the Mirage Spirit Eye to trick the wood spirits into thinking they had eaten the orb, then placed Deity Sealing Talismans on them and stored them in Little Gold’s Spirit Beast Bag.
• Luo Hong teased Old Demon Gan about collecting the woods faster than breaking the seal by force, then continued gathering them for five or six shichen.
• As Luo Hong neared the final hundred zhang of Golden Magnetic Spirit Woods, a pale-faced Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivator carrying a Four-Colored Fire Fan flew toward Kunwu Hall.

Luo Hong and Han Li devised a trap to draw Old Demon Gan into Kunwu Hall, where Extreme North Yuan Light gave them an advantage. As Han Li entered the hall alone, Luo Hong stayed outside, confident that Old Demon Gan had walked into a fatal ambush.

• Han Li reunited with Luo Hong as Great Immortal Master Xu and his companions caught up, while Ge Tianhao and the others joined Old Demon Gan.

• Little Gold killed Ge Tianhao and the others with Form-Destroying Golden Light, while Luo Hong immobilized the Spiritual Rhinoceros Peacock and let Little Gold swallow it.
• Luo Hong spared Hua Tianqi and the Poison Saint Sect members, then demanded the Sky-Covering Bracelet from the Square-faced Cultivator as compensation for his earlier attack.
• The Square-faced Cultivator surrendered the Sky-Covering Bracelet after Luo Hong swore on his Heart Demon not to kill him, then fled down the mountain.

Luo Hong collected the spoils from the battle, helped Han Li defeat Old Demon Gan, and refused to join the rush toward the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. After the pagoda revealed a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, Luo Hong stayed by Kunwu Hall with Mu Kui and waited for Han Li to emerge with the item he had been instructed to retrieve.

• Luo Hong took the Sky-Covering Bracelet and discovered that Ge Tianhao and the others had prepared the Three Tribulation Thunder Firmament Array to counter his thunder arts.

• Han Li emerged from the Extreme North Yuan Light, thanked Luo Hong for his help, and prepared to hand over the item Luo Hong had requested.

Luo Hong collected most of the Extreme North Yuan Light from Kunwu Hall and prepared to leave, but a growing premonition made him realize something had gone wrong at the Demon Suppressing Pagoda. Mu Kui’s remark about the Poison Saint Sect cultivators revealed what Luo Hong had overlooked, and he raced back toward the pagoda.

• Han Li accepted Luo Hong’s warning and left Kunwu Mountain with the ugly Mystic Rock Turtle woman rather than seeking the Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure.
• Luo Hong collected Extreme North Yuan Light until his Yin-Yang Two Elements Gourd neared its limit, then set off toward the mountain’s connecting platform with Mu Kui following him.

• The Charming Woman abandoned her plan to conserve demonic power and gathered a flood-dragon-shaped wind attack to destroy Luo Hong.

Luo Hong merged with Little Gold and used the Water-Fire Eight Trigrams Disc to confront the Charming Woman’s overwhelming Black Wind Banner attack. As her power continued to rise, he activated the restriction on half of the Golden Tower Jade Book to strengthen his treasure, leaving the battle unresolved.
