• Chen Changan declared it was time for the group to set out.

Chen Changan went to the Investiture of the Gods Hall for more cultivation resources and told Wu Mobai that he planned to enter the Void Land with his companions.

• Chen Changan found that the Spirit Guiding Technique could not locate Chen Qingqing, whose aura had either vanished or been concealed.

After the villagers warned Chen Changan that the Void Land was dangerous and said they knew nothing of Sky in Sky or Water in Water, the girl returned with permission from her father for the group to enter.
