After a Grand Void disciple insulted him and Wu Xiu apologized, Feng Jun challenged the sect’s presumption that it could control him.

Feng Jun, True Immortal Yi Jue, and True Immortal Wanqing were ambushed in the Leisure Cloud Sector by a hidden attacker using an Aerial-Sealing Barrier Array. Trapped beneath the spatial lock, Yi Jue prepared a powerful move to break the formation while Wanqing and Feng Jun held their ground.

• Feng Jun and Yi Jue sensed something strange in the Leisure Cloud Sector but decided to stay, unaware that Jiu Cai was observing them through a Heaven-Peering Mirror.
• Jiu Cai discovered that the figures he had mistaken for Demon Beasts were two Nascent Souls and a Golden Core cultivator, then considered ambushing them for their potential rewards.
• After two and a half days of Divination, Feng Jun, Yi Jue, and Wanqing prepared to leave but felt a disturbance and recognized that they were under attack.
• Yi Jue unleashed Yearning for Sweet Rain and Wanqing raised his defenses, while Feng Jun activated a Nascent Soul High Stage Defensive Formation Disk and detected a Spatial Lock.
• Yi Jue identified the trap as an Aerial-Sealing Barrier Array, but Wanqing's Blue Flame Sorrow failed to corrode it, so Yi Jue deployed another Defensive Formation Disk and asked them to hold for twenty breaths.

• Feng Jun’s Divine Sense burned when he tried to explore the Void, and a Storage Talisman and its refrigerators disintegrated.
• Feng Jun realized his clothes and belongings were eroding, so he packed his Storage Pouches, Storage Talismans, and wooden hairpin inside his Treasure Artifact vest.

After slowly propelling himself by sacrificing stored items and an artifact-grade shirt, he finally encountered a fast-moving object, but it damaged one of his Treasure Artifact boots.

• Feng Jun examined the Stone Ring and wondered why so many Energy Points had vanished, then realized he needed to focus on survival and escape.
• Feng Jun found he could not retrieve his phone, Spirit Stones, or other supplies, and worried about lacking spiritual energy in the Void.

• Feng Jun discovered that the collision had ruined one of his Treasure Artifact boots.
