• Li Yun identified the Little Valley as the Ancient Battlefield Secret Realm’s richest concentration of Immortal Rhythm and explained that its completed transformations hid their presence.

• Li Yun found all twenty-three Immortal Embryos in the Ancient Battlefield Secret Realm, and the Ye Clan debated how to share them with him.

• Li Yun spent another point of Human Immortal Level Cognition to push Void toward perfection, and its shadow twisted space in a small area around him.
