Half a month later, Zhou Zheng traveled with Emperor Yuhong, Nuwa, and Old Ancestor Feng Tong to the Source Sea to retrieve a Dao Integration Fire Cloud Flower.

• Nuwa asked Old Ancestor Feng Tong to help Zhou Zheng, and he promised to intervene when the Supreme Cave Mansion opened so Zhou Zheng could enter it.

Zhou Zheng endured His Majesty Solitude’s assault, used the Supreme Cave Mansion’s opening to escape into it, and passed Emperor Stone Supreme Being’s illusion trial, perfecting his Dao Heart. He received a Purple Gourd of Hui Ming Pills and chose to prepare for the Dao Merge inside the mansion rather than proceed immediately to its next trials.

• Zhou Zheng brought Ji Ning to meet the Supremes, who welcomed him as the second Ultimate Emperor and learned he had completed the Dao Merge largely through his own talent.
