As Zhuo Ming condensed Primordial True Qi, Chen Mobai sent Su Ziluo to investigate Five Emperors Mountain and organized the first North Abyss Assembly, where outside forces bought most of the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills.

• Chen Mobai read Xiao Yuli's reply and, unable to enlist her help against Primordial Unity Dao Palace, decided to send Su Ziluo back to investigate Five Emperors Mountain.
• Chen Mobai reviewed Zhuo Ming's work restoring Eastern Wu's Ancestral Vein and visited Zhou Shengqing's Golden Jade Spirit Rice fields at Giant Wood Ridge.

• Chen Mobai and E Yun held the first North Abyss Assembly, where outside forces bought the Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills, prompting Eastern Wasteland family elders to ask E Yun for a private purchasing channel.

E Yun persuaded the Eastern Wasteland’s Cultivating Families to let the Five Elements Sect incorporate their spiritual veins into the Sky Net Earth Net Great Formation in exchange for Core Formation benefits. After Chen Mobai completed the formation across the region, he used its power to teleport and advanced to Nascent Soul Eighth Layer.

• Zhuo Ming broke through to Core Formation Late Stage, and Chen Mobai promised to make her the next Primordial Unity Saintess after he subdued Five Emperors Mountain.

Chen Lingming formed a Nascent Soul and nearly died under the Immortal-Slaying Thunder before Chen Mobai and the Purple Lightning Sword saved him. Afterward, Chen Mobai tasked him with joining Su Ziluo at Five Emperors Mountain to persuade the Primordial Unity Dao Palace’s Nascent Soul Elders to recognize the Five Elements Sect as Yi Yuan’s Orthodox Lineage.

• Chen Lingming completed Nascent Soul formation, and Chen Mobai opened the Great Formation so he could face the Immortal-Slaying Thunder.

Chen Mobai helped Yin Qingmei prepare to form her Nascent Soul, then learned about North Abyss City's rising property prices and discovered Du Mengyun was hiding there. When Du Mengyun unexpectedly arrived at Hong He's cave mansion and Chen Mobai threatened to kill her, she claimed she and Hong He were secret lovers, leaving Chen Mobai to accept her story and offer advice about their marriage.

• Chen Mobai gave Yin Qingmei the Clear Sky Mirror and told her not to use Three Lights Divine Water if she formed her Nascent Soul; Yin Qingmei activated Six Armor Mountain's Grand Array and began secluding herself.

Earth Virtue Mountain Master countered Chen Lingming and the Five Elements Sect with public accusations and commercial sanctions, but Xiao Yuli’s testimony and Chen Mobai’s business tactics swung public opinion and trade back in their favor. Earth Virtue then offered Chen Lingming major rewards to return, and Chen Lingming went to Five Emperors Mountain to negotiate, where Earth Virtue reacted with sudden ruthlessness.

• Three days later, Chen Mobai and Earth Virtue resumed negotiations, exchanged Dao Body clashes, and finally descended together in apparent harmony.

He then joined Shenxi, Ni Chong, and Earth Virtue in investigating the demonic spy at Five Emperors Mountain, where Earth Virtue claimed the Dao Palace’s inheritances had been handed over and restrained the protesting elders.

• Earth Virtue celebrated his agreement with Chen Mobai, while Hong Yun and Mu Youyi left the Nine Heavens Pavilion; Mu Youyi arranged to meet Chen privately.
