• Ink Fish awarded Jiang Ming the Mind Secret Codex, stored in a precious Soul Marrow Jade crystal, and told him he needed to cultivate its first level to clear the sixth trial.

• Ink Fish demonstrated by transmitting the Soul Marrow Jade to the pyramid spaceship, where Jiang Ming caught it and deduced that the transfer used corresponding coordinates in the Mental Territory.
• Jiang Ming began studying the Inheritance Soul Marrow Jade directly, sensing that its material helped preserve the inheritance and convey its creator's original intent.

The human command in the Zerg Second Battlefield learned that the Zerg had pulled forces from three other battlefields to concentrate on them, and offered Champion King Zhao Yun a huge reward to help hold the front. Jiang Ming received the emergency request while studying the Mind Secret Codex and decided to ask Bilong why the Zerg had made their move without his knowledge.

• The purple-robed old man told the Experts that the Zerg had redeployed forces from the other three battlefields, leaving the Second Battlefield without reinforcements while human forces waited to advance elsewhere.

He also discovered that the Zerg had altered the battlefield to ambush his Mother Stone Clone, and he left Lord of Bilong in the Empress Realm to avoid exposing her identity.

• Jiang Ming told Lord of Bilong not to contact Lord Minglian because it could expose her identity, and he remained confident that his Mother Stone Clone could handle opponents below the Cosmic Venerable level.
