• Qi Chengjun gave Zhuang Hong manuals on cultivation arts, spells, artifact refining, and alchemy, and said his hidden spiritual materials could support Zhuang Hong to the Nascent Soul Stage.

• Zhuang Hong reasoned that he could use Source Power for cultivation if he first understood spiritual power's characteristics.

Zhuang Hong tested the power of his Spiritual Qi-enhanced muscles in his transformed Agile Form, then completed Foundation Establishment throughout his body in less than a month.

Zhuang Hong confronted Fairy Chi in another space, where they recognized each other as a True Spirit and a Spirit Ascension Level aberrant insect and prepared to fight.

• Sovereign Huangfu refused other sects’ request to ask Zhuang Hong for help, but offered temporary refuge to disciples who fled to the Azure Mystery Sect.

• Fairy Chi stared at the approaching mass of birds and asked what it was.

Zhuang Hong and the Little Spirits nearly killed Fairy Chi with Golden Light Bullets and the Hundred-Handed Vajra before she revealed that she was a True Spirit aberrant insect who had fled from the Strange Stone Treasure Domain. The attack stopped, but Zhuang Hong remained cautious and learned that Fairy Chi recognized his Spirit Concealing Pearl.

• Zhuang Hong ordered Xiao Qi and the Little Spirits to bombard Fairy Chi with Golden Light Bullets, badly injuring her as she tried to flee.
