• Aaron sensed someone powerful was calculating his identity and concealed himself with the Heaven Derivation Gu, fearing Emei Sect's attention and the approaching calamity.

He reached the mountain safely, where Immortal Lady Nine Truths told him that Yang Xumi had defeated twelve Profound Heaven Dao disciples at the Flower Goddess Estate sword contest.

• Aaron used the Blood God Gu to spy on Ding Xiadong and prepared additional Blood God Gu insects to cultivate rival successors who could devour one another.

• Fang Xiaolong reflected that his childhood companions had reached Mystic Light or Outer Astral while he remained at Condensing Baleful Intent.

Aaron gave Fang Xiaolong another chance to choose a cultivation art, then used Ding Xiadong’s Blood God Gu to witness Li Yingyun confronting her former fiancé, who had become a Blood Demon.
