• Lin Chang'an arranged a cautious exchange on a desolate island, where his External Incarnation traded a Sea Map marking a Purple Copper Mine for materials supplied by the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

As he weighed his remaining Spirit Mine and prepared the Sword Servant for an escort, Meng Xinghai turned to brutal harvesting to seek the strength needed to protect the Meng Family.

• Lin Chang'an learned that Yun Yao could not reveal herself, reflected on his inability to help her, and focused on increasing his strength while cultivating in seclusion.
• Over five years, unrest spread across the Outer Sea as the Seven Kingdoms Alliance grew stronger; Lin Chang'an advanced his cultivation, reached Third-Order High-Grade in both Talismans and formations, and sold Spirit Mine information to several factions.

Sword Servant fled a masked attacker while both she and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance misread his motives, and Meng Xinghai worried about his father’s attack.

After reuniting with his market-going incarnation, Lin Chang'an learned from her memories that Meng Xinghai planned to enter a Secret Realm and that the Meng Clan possessed a Secret Realm Map Fragment.
