They examined the Phantom Troupe’s interest in Claude’s treasure map and discovered that Divine Characters on the Buddha statue enhanced Kurapika’s vision; Jing Yang planned to investigate the upcoming wedding.

• Jing Yang ordered Brat to remove the Star Mark and die, leaving Claude as his remaining mafia-side pawn to mail the treasure map.

• Claude slit his throat and then stabbed the Rose Gold Five-Pointed Star in his palm before he died.

• Jing Yang fled the explosions in the wedding garden, absorbed two streams of Death Qi, and projected his consciousness into Shizuku through the Star Mark.

• Kurapika's Judgment chain killed Lieh Ying after he refused to reveal the Phantom Troupe's whereabouts, and Kurapika left the Abyss exhausted.
• Kurapika returned to find Jing Yang and Shizuku had killed Bop; they reattached their severed limbs while Jing Yang's Nen beast restored his aura.

• The group escaped the manor, and Jing Yang used Rock Sparrow to heal Ousu before rejoining Kurapika and Shizuku in a stolen car.
• Jing Yang told Kurapika about Death Qi and the danger of his body growing uncontrollably, then sensed someone following an unknown delivery man.

Jing Yang evaded five pursuers who wanted the envelope, then arranged for an owl to deliver it to Kurapika. After Kurapika returned the envelope, he questioned Jing Yang about attending the mafia wedding despite the danger and the Death Qi in his heart.

• Jing Yang noticed five unusually powerful people following him after he left the Eternal Library with the envelope.

Jing Yang, Shizuku, and Kurapika used Divine Characters to reveal hidden locations on True Martial King's treasure map and set out to investigate one, where they discovered runes concealed on a rock wall. Jing Yang then woke alone on an unfamiliar shore, with no idea where he was.

• Pariston bought a fishing boat and set out to sea, confident that luck would take him where he wanted to go.
• Kurapika challenged Jing Yang's willingness to risk absorbing Death Qi, and Jing Yang admitted he had a final plan to resolve the problem in his heart.
• Shizuku revealed that they were seeking Nitoromi, and Jing Yang and Kurapika used jade pendants to copy Divine Characters and reveal points on the treasure map.
• The trio traveled to the nearest point of light and, using the map's zooming ability, saw black runes appear on a rock wall in an otherwise empty mountain hollow.
• Jing Yang woke face-down on a shore beside a vast sea and wondered where he had ended up.

Jing Yang and his companions were transported by a Divine Script formation to a mist-covered island, where they searched for one another and encountered a skilled woman in a soldier’s uniform. After she attacked him, Jing Yang defeated her and knocked her unconscious, suspecting she had been sent by a Kakin prince.

• Jing Yang learned through the Moon Marks that Shizuku and Kurapika had also been transported to the strange island, and Kurapika revealed he had arranged for Rock Sparrow to provide a daily escape route.
• Jing Yang and Shizuku coordinated their directions and began walking around the island’s mist-shrouded coastline to meet up.
• Jing Yang and Shizuku sensed unsettling whispers in the mist and suspected it was created by Nen, possibly connected to Old Wei.
• Jing Yang encountered a woman who pretended not to know how she had arrived, then shot at him and attacked with Nen.
• Jing Yang recognized that the woman was a Manipulator, defeated her, suspected she was a soldier sent by a Kakin prince, and knocked her unconscious.

Jing Yang reunited with Shizuku and Kurapika through their Moon Marks while investigating the hidden islands and met Kite on the shore. They discovered the fog concealed a chain of ring-shaped islands and that escaping the island required making and keeping an oath, though Jing Yang suspected the mist could drive oath-breakers mad.

• Jing Yang restrained the unconscious woman and learned from Shizuku that their routes around the island were curving in unexpected directions.
• Jing Yang met Kite, who directed him onto a raft; as it moved away, the shore vanished into the fog, revealing that the sea and coastline were illusions.
• Jing Yang used the Divine Characters to see through the fog and discovered multiple ring-shaped islands, then shared the discovery with Shizuku and Kurapika through their Moon Marks.
• Jing Yang and Kite listened to the voices in the mist, and Jing Yang concluded that the island was a trial where visitors had to make and uphold an oath to escape.
• Jing Yang suspected the mist would drive anyone who broke an oath to madness and recognized that Kite's teacher, Ging Freecss, might also be nearby.

Jing Yang and Kite crossed the Black Mist archipelago, discovering that its islands forced Nen Users to make vows tied to their Nen categories. Kurapika reached the central tower and encountered Ging, while Jing Yang and Kite arrived at the Emitter island as an ominous presence approached.

• Jing Yang and Kite discussed how Oath Island made any vow take effect, and Jing Yang concluded that its vows could become a dangerous trap.
• The woman Jing Yang had captured died after apparently making a vow, and Jing Yang kicked her corpse into the sea.
• Kite explained that the archipelago had six rings corresponding to the Nen categories, and he and Jing Yang headed toward the Emitter island.
• Jing Yang vowed to manipulate seawater within the archipelago, then used his new ability to control and walk across the sea; Kite revealed that his one-time conjured raft let him travel there.
• Kurapika rowed toward the central island, defeated a fish-man attacker, and met a hooded man named Ging, who conjured a Skull Knight resembling Kurapika's ability.
• Jing Yang and Kite reached the Emitter island, where an ominous presence began approaching them.

Shizuku crossed Transmuter Island and discovered a group of Unpossessable People sacrificing themselves to empower their captain, while Jing Yang absorbed Death Qi from their deaths. Their actions awakened a colossal presence in the Black Mist, which Ging identified as the Nen left behind by Viggo Hui Guo Rou.

• Shizuku used Nen Chain Saws and Blobfish to reach Transmuter Island, where she found two groups fighting in the mist.
• Two followers of the Second Prince revealed they had vowed to die so their lingering Nen would strengthen their captain, then slit their throats.
• Shizuku warned Jing Yang to get away, but he had already absorbed two streams of Death Qi.
• As Shizuku hurried toward Jing Yang, the Black Mist gathered into a gigantic human silhouette and an ominous presence stirred.
• Ging showed Biot the giant figure and identified it as Nen left behind by Viggo Hui Guo Rou, while Kurapika studied the spire beneath them.

Ging tried to move the Divine Character-covered spire on Specialist Island, awakening a giant presence in the Black Mist as Jing Yang neared an uncontrollable change from Death Qi. Jing Yang vanished after Ging arrived, and the spire rose from the sea as a colossal arrow, leaving Ging eager to discover what it was.

• Ging told Kurapika that Specialist Island extended a thousand meters to the seabed, then used his Nen to try to move the spire without success.
• The spire began shaking as thick Black Mist rose, and Kurapika ran toward the giant figure appearing within it.
• Jing Yang struggled with the effects of accumulated Death Qi while Kite fought an empowered Unpossessable Person and Shizuku came to help.
• A giant hand seized the Unpossessable Person and dragged him into the mist; Jing Yang then passed out as Ging emerged and the giant shadow disappeared.
• Shizuku found Jing Yang and his Guardian Spirit Beast had vanished, while Ging suspected the presence in the mist had taken him and might be his ancestor.
• Specialist Island began crumbling as the spire rose from the sea, revealing itself to be a huge arrow.

After the island’s gigantic arrow launched toward the Dark Continent, Jing Yang reappeared transformed by Death Qi and reunited with Shizuku, Kurapika, Kite, and Ging. The story then shifted to Pariston confronting Beyond at the edge of the human world, where a giant ant attacked them.

• Kite, Kurapika, and Shizuku watched the gigantic arrow rise from the island as the Black Mist dispersed.
• Jing Yang reappeared much taller and older-looking, teased Shizuku about his height, and showed off his Aura sword.
• Ging identified the flying arrow as one left by True Martial King Viggo and guessed that it was heading toward the Dark Continent.
• Pariston found Beyond at the farthest point on the map and learned that a Nen restriction tied to Beyond’s father, Isaac Netero, prevented him from stepping toward the Dark Continent.
• A giant ant surged out of the sea and lunged at Beyond, who released his Aura to face it.

Jing Yang encountered the True Martial King within the black mist, learned he had no Kakin royal blood, and received a Nen-draining sword aura after the king destroyed Reflection. Back with Ging, Shizuku, Kurapika, and Kite, Jing Yang made a vow to control the Death Qi in his heart, while Ging sent Kite away to complete his final test.

• Jing Yang woke with a grown body and watched his gray aura flow toward a figure on a Divine Script throne, who revealed that Jing Yang had no Hui Guo Rou royal blood and Reflection was not a Guardian Spirit Beast.
• The True Martial King explained that he had died after his vow prevented him from using his Nen Ability to save his wife, then destroyed Reflection and left Jing Yang with a sword aura that absorbed opponents’ Nen.
• Jing Yang tested the sword aura on Ging, discovering it could drain Aura through contact and replenish his own expenditure, though Ging could not imitate it.
• Ging used a Greed Island card to send Kite flying away and told him to find him using Magnetic Force to finish his Hunter training.
• Kurapika noticed the mist and Nen residue had vanished from the islands, while Shizuku worried about Jing Yang’s unpredictable growth.
• Jing Yang vowed never to kill for the purpose of taking Death Qi and to lose every Nen Ability if he broke the vow, causing a gray vortex to appear over his heart.

Jing Yang established a Vow and Restriction that let him control the Death Qi in his heart, revealing a Nen-affinity panel and a way to direct residual Death Qi into improving his abilities. He and Shizuku returned toward the others, while Beyond and Pariston identified a huge creature as a Chimera Ant and anticipated its guards.

• Jing Yang resolved that he would never kill to plunder Death Qi, and his Vow and Restriction manifested as a panel showing his Nen affinities and total Nen.
• Jing Yang named the ability Upper Heaven Lower Hell, causing Specialist to rise to 100% and shifting his other affinity values; he directed residual Death Qi into Transmuter to increase it.
• Shizuku woke Jing Yang from his trance, and he reassured her that he could now control the Death Qi and would not suffer another uncontrolled transformation.
• Jing Yang noticed gray cracks on his chest, changed into clean clothes from Shizuku's supplies, and headed with her to see whether the others had found a way off the island.
• Beyond and Pariston examined a giant, injured Chimera Ant; Beyond identified it as a male Ant King, and three black shadows raced toward them through the sea.

Jing Yang, Shizuku, Kurapika, and Kite found themselves stranded on ordinary islands after the Divine Character arrow disappeared, so they built rafts and gathered supplies. That night, Jing Yang used Death Qi to refine more Nen into his total aura, and Kite saw him still meditating at sunrise.

• Jing Yang, Shizuku, Kurapika, and Kite determined that their Vows and Restrictions could not get them off the islands, so they built a second raft from fallen trees.
• Kite used Crazy Slots to conjure a sniper rifle and shot a sea beast, then drew the Invisible Sword and helped cut the raft logs.
• Jing Yang and Shizuku crossed to the neighboring island with Kurapika, found the bodies of the Unpossessable People and two of the First Prince’s soldiers, and took their military rope.
• The group returned to Kite’s island, finished preparing the rafts, and rested around a campfire after nightfall.
• Jing Yang injected the Death Qi absorbed from Kite’s shot into his total Nen quantity and spent the night refining the resulting Aura.
• At sunrise, Kite saw Jing Yang meditating as the number representing his total Nen quantity continued to rise.
