• Cultivators caught in the domain were dragged into the blood sea, where their flesh dissolved, alarming Akatsuki and the other fighters.
• Feng Yuan declared that escape from his domain was impossible, then formed a giant blood dragon that charged at Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki organization faced Feng Yuan’s Boundless Blood Sea domain, which combined with the Blood Dragon Array to produce Fusion Stage blood dragons. Qin Lang, Southern Dipper, and Kong Chen destroyed the attacking dragons while Bu Lianshi searched for Feng Yuan’s location.

Their recovery was interrupted when White Zetsu reported that Daybreak and the Central River Imperial Family had clashed and requested Akatsuki’s support, leaving them to decide whether to help Lin An.

• Akatsuki wondered whether to help Lin An, whom Lin Chuan considered an enemy.

• Mu Li recalled a little boy's words about deterrence and defeating an enemy without fighting, and Lin An repeated the same saying, startling Bu Lianshi.

As Lin Chuan neared a breakthrough in his private space, he constructed a detailed spiritual replica of the Ancient Immortal Realm. The Maha Clan’s old man reacted to the replica with confused fragments of recovered memory, leaving his identity and the Ancient Immortal Realm’s true nature uncertain.

• The old man fixated on Lin Chuan’s replica and repeatedly insisted that it was and was not the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Meanwhile, Akatsuki discovered that the Qin Clan had the jade pendant linked to the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and prepared to intercept their expedition.

• The old man remembered that the Ancient Immortal Realm was the Immortal Bone Realm, a place containing the remains of a true immortal, and Lin Chuan sealed his consciousness before the revelation could disrupt his breakthrough.

• Bu Lianshi and Akatsuki discussed avoiding a direct fight with the Qin Clan and agreed they needed to identify the jade pendant’s holder before striking.
• Mu Li offered intelligence and Dawn’s help in return for a chance to enter the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder space and temper his body.
• Mu Li told Bu Lianshi that only the pendant’s holder knew when the space could be entered, so Akatsuki agreed to monitor the Qin Clan while Dawn identified the holder.
• Mu Li transformed into the Qin Clan’s Ninth Elder and announced he would enter the clan to gather intelligence.

Mu Li infiltrated the Qin Clan disguised as its Ninth Elder while Akatsuki secretly approached underground to help him locate the jade pendant. Using a blood-red ladybug to track the aura on a scrap of cloth, Mu Li slipped out of his room and followed it toward the Qin Clan’s outer district.

• Mu Li told Bu Lianshi he had a way to enter the Qin Clan, and Akatsuki arranged to approach underground and support his attempt to seize the jade pendant.
