• Cheng Han silently instructed the Netherworlds to prepare, and they confirmed the operation would begin in one hour.

Cheng Han used Netherworld to blow up Zhuo'an Airport’s underground fuel depot and frame the Praying Life Society for the attack.

After reporting to Cheng Han, it discussed the Life Element Secret Art with him, while Vice Palace Master Cheng arrived at Qing Han Profound Palace and entered seclusion after gaining insight that might let him advance to High-rank Mystic Adept.

• Cheng Han's Soul Tempering Imprint split into three overlapping Soul Tempering Rings, completing his advancement to High-rank Mystic Adept.

Cheng Han deepened his fusion with the Myriad Mysteries Spirit Banyan Sprout and Pistil by shaping a living forest, then deduced and fused a new Profound Imprint called the Life Crown Profound Imprint. His Spirit Value rose sharply, so he decided to restrain his advancement for a while to avoid drawing dangerous attention.
