Tian Buyi discovered that Luo Yunji’s cultivation method had altered the soldiers’ bodies, giving some Ice Breath and others ice-attribute spiritual power, but the soldiers remained devoted to protecting Luo Yunji. As the group prepared to continue through the ice, the soldiers sensed invisible beings emerging from an ice wall, and the Ghost King’s leg was suddenly encased in ice.

• Tian Buyi examined the forty soldiers and found that some had developed Ice Breath while others had gained a trace of ice-attribute spiritual power.
• The soldiers reassured Tian Buyi that they were grateful to be alive and pledged themselves to protecting Luo Yunji, earning his acceptance.
• After He Dazhi recorded the soldiers’ condition, the group rested while Luo Yunji and another disciple cooked a squab with Monkey Wine.
• The soldiers suddenly shouted for the Imperial Preceptor to move and said invisible beings had emerged from the ice wall.
• The Ghost King crossed in front of the soldiers, and his shoe froze on contact with the ground as ice raced up his leg.

Luo Yunji examined the forty soldiers after the Ghost King was struck by a freezing force, discovering that the strange Ice Breath affected cultivators differently from ordinary people. He began a chilling ritual with the soldiers while Tian Buyi and the others withdrew, leaving the danger unresolved.

• The Ghost King’s legs froze, but two soldiers rescued him, prompting Tian Buyi and He Dazhi to realize the freezing force was Ice Breath entering the soldiers’ meridians.
• He Dazhi brought Luo Yunji over to examine the soldiers while Zhang Xiaofan stayed behind to watch the cooking pot.
• Luo Yunji sensed bug-like things inside the soldiers and froze all forty, revealing faint shapes moving within the ice.
• After noticing frost on his finger, Luo Yunji shattered the thinning ice and ordered the soldiers to sit cross-legged and focus their minds.
• Luo Yunji surrounded himself and the soldiers with Ice Mist, so He Dazhi led Tian Buyi, the Ghost King, and Old Ancestor Fengyue away.
• Tian Buyi approached Zhang Xiaofan, who instinctively shielded the pot and hurriedly explained that Luo Yunji would complain if he missed his food.

As the Ice Mist created by Luo Yunji spread toward the group, Zhang Xiaofan stayed focused on guarding the cooking pot while assuring everyone that Luo Yunji was safe. A bowl from the ancient corpse flew out of the mist and settled overhead, trapping the smoke as the group faced the approaching cold.

• Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue stopped listening to Luo Yunji’s chilling voice and joined Tian Buyi’s group by the fire.
• Tian Buyi scolded Zhang Xiaofan for acting as if everyone might steal the food in the pot.
• He Dazhi noticed Luo Yunji’s Ice Mist spreading toward them, and Tian Buyi’s thrown firewood froze before reaching it.
• Zhang Xiaofan checked the Yang Orb and assured the group that Luo Yunji was fine, then refused to leave the pot unattended.
• A bowl flew out of the Ice Mist and formed a canopy over the group, and Zhang Xiaofan worried that the trapped smoke might suffocate them.

Zhang Xiaofan and the others stayed beneath the ice shield as a strange, freezing mist covered it and appeared to turn solid. Old Ancestor Fengyue recognized the danger but cut off his explanation, leaving the group uncertain about what surrounded them.

• Zhang Xiaofan dug near the barrier to vent smoke from Luo Yunji's cooking fire, so the Ghost King used the Dragon-Subduing Tripod to draw it away.
• He Dazhi told Tian Buyi that Luo Yunji's unusual emotions might mean something from the Sea of Nether Domain had affected him, though He Dazhi doubted anything could have left that sea.
• A strange chant echoed from Luo Yunji's cold mist as tiny bugs spread across the ice shield and the mist engulfed the barrier.
• Tian Buyi suspected the group had been frozen inside, while the Ghost King concluded that the apparent ice was made of tiny bugs.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue said the creatures resembled something inside the Sea of Nether Domain, then rejected the guess because they were still far from it.

Luo Yunji used a bowl-shaped magical treasure to conjure ice and insects, terrifying Zhang Xiaofan and the others and knocking four of them unconscious. After they woke, Luo Yunji explained how the treasure and the soldiers’ altered cultivation had produced Ice Breath, while he continued to feel that something was missing.

• Zhang Xiaofan shattered the advancing ice barrier and exposed Luo Yunji, who had been using ice magic to make the space seem to close in.
• Tian Buyi tried to spank Luo Yunji, but Luo Yunji turned into ice and released insects that overwhelmed Tian Buyi, He Dazhi, Old Ancestor Fengyue, and Ghost King.
• Zhang Xiaofan questioned Luo Yunji about the bowl-shaped treasure, and Luo Yunji said it had caused the ice, insects, and the soldiers’ transformation.
• Luo Yunji admitted he felt strange and believed there was something he needed to find.
• After Tian Buyi and the others woke, Luo Yunji explained that the forty soldiers now cultivated Ice Breath formed by cold-producing insects and could struggle to advance further.

Luo Yunji used the Ice Bowl to explain how they could eventually escape the strange ice region, then explored a hidden cave and found evidence that ancient survivors remained in the Far North. He and Zhang Xiaofan left the cave on an ice coffin, heading back toward Tian Buyi and the others.

• Luo Yunji told Tian Buyi and the others that the Ice Bowl was their key to leaving, but said he had to wait three days while the forty soldiers improved their constitutions.
• Luo Yunji warned the soldiers that their cultivation method might prevent them from advancing, then promised them a chance to raise their cultivation if they improved within three days.
• Luo Yunji secretly opened a cave in an ice wall and found an ancient corpse whose clothes and topknot suggested it was not truly ancient.
• Luo Yunji told Zhang Xiaofan that ancient survivors might still live in the Far North, then used an ice coffin to travel with him through the tunnel toward the others.

Luo Yunji used the Ice Bowl, a formation, and forty soldiers to draw in the Far North’s ice and snow, forming a towering ice pillar. After seven days, the pillar collapsed and revealed a mysterious magical seal, which Luo Yunji merged into the ice pillars.

• Luo Yunji and Zhang Xiaofan brought an ancient-looking corpse out of an ice cave, and Zhang Xiaofan explained that its clothes and hairstyle suggested it was not truly ancient.
• Three days later, Luo Yunji had He Dazhi paint spiritual patterns on forty soldiers and arranged them on a formation diagram.
• Luo Yunji activated the Ice Bowl, drawing surrounding ice and snow into a massive vortex while Ghost King shielded himself and the others with the Dragon-Subduing Tripod.
• Ghost King and the others waited seven days as the forty-one people atop the ice pillar remained frozen, and Old Ancestor Fengyue discovered that the Far North’s white ice-silk was a plant.
• The heaven-reaching ice pillar collapsed, revealing an ice-blue magical seal, and Luo Yunji sent spiritual light into it until it merged into the ice pillars.

Luo Yunji helped the soldiers absorb the Ice Bowl’s energy, giving them great power at the cost of their future potential, then removed the cold from his companions. While Luo Yunji rested, Zhang Xiaofan and He Dazhi discovered black mist inside the bowl that resembled the Black Silk, raising fears that a Boundary Rift awaited them in the Sea of Nether Domain.

• The ice pillars cracked, and Luo Yunji explained that the newly transformed soldiers could face cultivators below the fourth level of the Taiji Mystic Purity Dao, though they had sacrificed most of their future potential.
• Luo Yunji used the Ice Bowl to draw the cold energy from Zhang Xiaofan, Tian Buyi, and the others, then said he could sense the direction of the Sea of Nether Domain.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue admitted he had lost his way, and Zhang Xiaofan helped the exhausted Luo Yunji rest beside the Ice Bowl.
• Zhang Xiaofan melted the thin ice that formed on his hand after he touched the bowl, and he and He Dazhi noticed black, smoke-like matter trapped at its bottom.
• He Dazhi recognized that the black mist resembled Luo Yunji’s Black Silk and feared the Sea of Nether Domain might contain a Boundary Rift like the one at Water Marsh.

He Dazhi and Zhang Xiaofan deduced that a Boundary Rift lay in the Sea of Nether Domain and that its Black Talisman had been removed, prompting Tian Buyi to agree to take the group there. After the soldiers recovered and the group crossed the ice, they reached Old Ancestor Fengyue’s destination: a stone cavern he called a miracle.

• Zhang Xiaofan and He Dazhi suspected that the black mist and removed Black Talisman meant a Boundary Rift had opened in the Sea of Nether Domain.
• He Dazhi warned Tian Buyi that the rift could make the Sea of Nether Domain extremely dangerous, but Tian Buyi decided they had to go there for Luo Yunji’s sake.
• He Dazhi persuaded Tian Buyi not to send him and Zhang Xiaofan away, and Tian Buyi decided they would travel together and planned to warn the Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue.
• Luo Yunji taught the forty soldiers to store their excess energy, and Zhang Xiaofan found no harm from touching the Ice Bowl.
• After the group set out, Zhang Xiaofan left the ancient corpse embedded in an ice wall, and Luo Yunji led them through the ice to a stone cavern.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue recognized the cavern as their destination, and the group entered while he promised they would see a miracle.

Tian Buyi, Ghost King, Old Ancestor Fengyue, and the others traveled through a strange cave and emerged into a warm, lush region in the Far North. Old Ancestor Fengyue revealed that the place differed from what he had seen on his previous visit, leaving the group uncertain about what had changed.

• As the group encountered unfamiliar plants and creatures, Old Ancestor Fengyue admitted to Ghost King that he had seen none of them on his last visit.
• Tian Buyi suspected that a talisman paper had altered the Sea of Nether Domain and told Old Ancestor Fengyue that a similar talisman had once suppressed a Boundary Rift.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue warned Ghost King about the Boundary Rift, and Tian Buyi and Old Ancestor Fengyue noticed that Ghost King seemed familiar with it.
• The group followed the cave to its exit and found a warm, verdant mountainside in the Far North, which Old Ancestor Fengyue identified as the only route to the Sea of Nether Domain's entrance.
• At the foot of the mountain, giant plants and insects surrounded the group, and enormous creatures charged past them.
• When Ghost King asked what was wrong, Old Ancestor Fengyue stammered that the place had not been like this the last time he came.

The group entered the Sea of Nether Domain, where the landscape differed sharply from Old Ancestor Fengyue’s memories, and Luo Yunji ran ahead into the tall grass. When enormous wolves chased the group and ordinary attacks failed, Ghost King used the Dragon-Subduing Tripod to smash them into the ground.

• Old Ancestor Fengyue warned Ghost King and Tian Buyi that the Sea of Nether Domain had changed since his last visit, but Ghost King insisted they continue.
• Luo Yunji ran into the grassland, and Zhang Xiaofan and the soldiers followed him while Tian Buyi told He Dazhi to have Luo Yunji hold the Ice Bowl once they found him.
• Ghost King stopped Old Ancestor Fengyue from flying and led the group onward through the grass, following the tracks left by Luo Yunji’s party.
• Luo Yunji and Zhang Xiaofan rushed past Tian Buyi’s group, with Zhang Xiaofan shouting for them to run as enormous wolves chased them.
• Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue tried attacking the wolves, found their attacks ineffective, and fled until Old Ancestor Fengyue warned they had gone off course.
• Ghost King summoned the Dragon-Subduing Tripod and struck the wolves, driving them into the ground.

Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue failed to kill the wolf pack with the Dragon-Subduing Tripod before Tian Buyi’s group lured the creatures into an ambush. Hunters emerged from the grass, killed the wolves with spears, and led the wary outsiders away, leaving Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue wondering how the hunters had managed it.

• Ghost King repeatedly smashed the wolf pack with the Dragon-Subduing Tripod, but the creatures survived and caught up with him and Old Ancestor Fengyue.
• Zhang Xiaofan led Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue to Tian Buyi’s group, where Tian Buyi and Zhang Xiaofan were feeding and spanking Luo Yunji.
• The wolf pack avoided He Dazhi’s trap and charged Tian Buyi’s group, but an unseen group of hunters pierced the wolves with spears and killed them.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue recognized the hunters’ clothing as resembling that of a frozen corpse, while the hunters reacted to the outsiders with suspicion and hostility.
• The hunters told Tian Buyi’s group to leave, then agreed to take them out and surrounded them as they set off.
• Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue studied the spears that had killed the wolves, puzzled that the hunters had succeeded where the Dragon-Subduing Tripod had failed.

Tian Buyi and the others followed a hunting party into an eerie ruin, while Luo Yunji ignored their warnings and focused on eating. They ended the night surrounded by a presence in the darkness, and Tian Buyi defended Luo Yunji when the Ghost King cursed him.

• Tian Buyi gave Luo Yunji the Ice Bowl, but Luo Yunji threw it away and kept eating, so Zhang Xiaofan and He Dazhi guarded him as the group followed the Ancient Remnants.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue realized they had not found the markers from his previous visit, and the Ghost King suspected Luo Yunji had led them to a different place.
• The group arrived at a pitch-black ruin where the Ghost King, Tian Buyi, and Old Ancestor Fengyue sensed a frightening presence watching them.
• Luo Yunji lit a Night-Shining Pearl and ate food Zhang Xiaofan unpacked, easing the group's darkness but startling the others with his carelessness.
• The Ghost King muttered an insult about Luo Yunji, and Tian Buyi angrily defended his disciple.

Luo Yunji saw a house invisible to Tian Buyi and Zhang Xiaofan, then entered it with the five Yin Spirits, while others tried to understand the strange place. The Ghost King suspected it was a ghost domain, and the chapter ended when their guide returned and angrily stopped himself from leaving.

• Luo Yunji pointed out a house that Tian Buyi and the others could not see, and Dabai helped him break free and approach it with the other Yin Spirits.
• Luo Yunji and the five Yin Spirits disappeared into the house, followed by Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Buyi; Zhang Xiaofan returned briefly to retrieve the Night-Shining Pearl before vanishing again.
• Zhang Xiaofan guessed that only people with mental attributes could see the house, while He Dazhi stayed with the forty soldiers.
• The Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue wondered whether the place was a ghost domain, and Tian Buyi said the Yin Spirits could see what Luo Yunji saw.
• He Dazhi suggested asking Luo Yunji what was happening, but their guide arrived, turned to leave, then abruptly spun back in anger.

Tian Buyi and the others entered a hidden settlement in the ruins and met its Clan Chief, who recognized Old Ancestor Fengyue as the person responsible for breaking into a forbidden domain. The Clan Chief confirmed that the forbidden domain was the Sea of Nether Domain, then Tian Buyi asked what its true name was.

• The leader guided Tian Buyi and the others to a hidden building while Luo Yunji acted as if he could see people no one else could, and the five Yin Spirits guarded him.
• The Clan Chief granted the group permission to enter, and Tian Buyi and Ghost King walked at the front into a hall that appeared lavish despite the ruined exterior.
• Tian Buyi told the Clan Chief they had come seeking the Sea of Nether Domain, prompting the gathered ancients to react with hostility.
• The Clan Chief recognized Old Ancestor Fengyue and accused him of entering the forbidden domain, stealing a sealed object and the heavenly god's seal, and releasing the evil ghosts.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue recalled taking a black talisman from an old bandit friend, and the Clan Chief confirmed that the forbidden domain was what outsiders called the Sea of Nether Domain.
• Tian Buyi asked for the forbidden domain's true name, leaving the Clan Chief wondering why he had become the one answering questions.

The old man revealed that the Sea of Nether Domain was the Nether Gate to the Underworld, and the five veiled Yin Spirits showed their true identities. After Luo Yunji was recognized as the Son of God, he took the seat of honor and demanded the history of the Ice Bowl, learning how it had been stolen and the gods’ seal broken.

• The old man called the Sea of Nether Domain the Nether Gate and said it led to the Underworld.
• At the old man’s urging, Dabai and the other Yin Spirits removed their veils, revealing their true forms and shocking Tian Buyi, the Ghost King, and Old Ancestor Fengyue.
• Dabai said they had come by the Deity’s command to retrieve an item, and the old man knelt after recognizing the Nether Mist behind Luo Yunji.
• Zhang Xiaofan tossed the Ice Bowl to Luo Yunji, and the old man recognized it as a Sacred Artifact and hailed Luo Yunji as the Son of God.
• Luo Yunji took the old man’s seat and ordered him to explain the Ice Bowl’s history; the old man said intruders had stolen it and broken the seal on the gods, causing the Forbidden Domain to expand.

Luo Yunji learned that the Ice Bowl was linked to the dangerous Forbidden Domain and decided to enter it, while Zhang Xiaofan connected the old man’s account to their search for the Sea of Nether Domain. As the group approached the domain, Old Ancestor Fengyue revealed that the sealed talisman might hold clues to becoming an immortal.

• The old man told Luo Yunji that the Forbidden Domain had changed after Old Ancestor Fengyue and his bandit companion left, and that some of its Yin souls now returned to life by day.
• Luo Yunji ordered that he would enter the Nether Gate, then asked Zhang Xiaofan to deduce how the Ice Bowl and the Forbidden Domain related to their discoveries.
• Luo Yunji suspected that something inside the Ice Bowl was causing the Forbidden Domain to expand, handed it to Zhang Xiaofan, and rummaged in his Bamboo Bag for food.
• Tian Buyi worried that completing Luo Yunji’s soul might turn him into a devil, but felt reassured when Luo Yunji acted like his familiar, mischievous self.
• The next day, the old man led Luo Yunji and the others to the edge of the mist-shrouded Forbidden Domain.
• He Dazhi asked Old Ancestor Fengyue why the bandit chief had chosen the sealed talisman over the Sacred Artifact, and Fengyue said he suspected it contained clues to becoming an immortal.

He Dazhi led the group into the Forbidden Domain after the monk among Luo Yunji’s Yin Spirits used Buddhist light to repel its poisonous mist. When Old Ancestor Fengyue realized they had not found the forest leading to the Sea of Nether Domain, the group feared the Yin souls had deceived them.

• He Dazhi urged the Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue to stay behind, but they insisted on entering the Forbidden Domain.
• He Dazhi left the forty soldiers at the Ice Cave, and the monk Yin Spirit discovered that Buddhist light could drive back the mist that poisoned living beings.
• The group entered the mist under the monk’s Buddhist light, with Zhang Xiaofan and the monk agreeing to take turns maintaining it.
• After about half an hour, Old Ancestor Fengyue noticed they had not encountered the forest that should lead to the Sea of Nether Domain.
• Tian Buyi concluded that the Yin souls had tricked them, and He Dazhi suspected the Forbidden Domain’s expansion benefited the ancient Yin souls.

Tian Buyi and the others continued through the Forbidden Domain, where the ancient Yin souls attacked them to prevent the seal from being restored. After capturing their leader, they learned the souls feared being trapped again, while Ghost King questioned whether the group could restore the domain at all.

• Tian Buyi, Ghost King, and Old Ancestor Fengyue chose to continue, and an unaffiliated Yin Spirit led the group southeast toward the forest.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue suspected the five Yin Spirits might betray them, but He Dazhi reminded him that they had served the Deity before.
• An ancient Yin soul attacked with a spear, and the monk stopped a barrage of spears with Buddhist light.
• The unaffiliated Yin Spirit scattered the mist with a punch, and Dabai used the Heart-Slaying Lock to drag the old man before the group.
• The old man said restoring the seal would turn the Yin souls back into imprisoned spirits, and the Azure Cloud Sect Yin Spirit explained that their resurrection depended on the mutated Forbidden Domain.
• Ghost King asked the old man why he was so certain they could restore the Forbidden Domain.

Luo Yunji and the others encountered seemingly immortal Ancient Remnants in the Forbidden Domain and tried to understand what they were. As the group pressed deeper under relentless attacks, Old Ancestor Fengyue recognized a marker and confirmed they were nearing the place he had visited before.

• The old man admitted that he and his people feared returning to the void, then broke down after realizing he might have gained a chance to follow the Son of God.
• He Dazhi and Tian Buyi questioned whether the Ancient Remnants were truly human, while Zhang Xiaofan tested the old man with the precious umbrella and concluded he was not alive.
• A hidden force sent spears at the group, and the remnants recovered after being struck down and retreated into the green mist.
• The group continued deeper as the spears gained sinister nether energy, and Tian Buyi told Luo Yunji to stay back when he offered to use the umbrella.
• Old Ancestor Fengyue recognized a carved great-bird mark on a boulder and said they were close to the place he had reached on his previous visit.

Tian Buyi and the others entered the increasingly uncanny Yinyou Land, where the old man transformed into ashes and the group became trapped in the black fog. Luo Yunji’s umbrella drove the fog away, but he then heard a warning that matched Zhou Yixian’s words, leaving the group on guard as they pressed deeper.

• Dabai warned everyone that the fog was changing, and Zhang Xiaofan used the Jiemo Bead to maintain a Buddhist protective art as the group continued onward.
• Tian Buyi and the others noticed a soul-chilling cold and darker, ash-like fog beyond the giant rock, while the restrained old man changed into a stone-gray, pupil-less figure.
• The Ghost King struck the old man, and Tian Buyi stabbed him with Scarlet Flame; the old man screamed, turned to ashes, and merged with the black fog.
• Tian Buyi urged everyone to flee, but the group felt as if they were running in place until Luo Yunji opened his umbrella and pushed the black fog away.
• Luo Yunji said he heard an unseen voice warn that those who entered Yinyou Land would not return, and Tian Buyi and He Dazhi recognized its first half as Zhou Yixian’s exact warning.

Tian Buyi and the others discovered that the ancient ruins and their enemies had been illusions, then realized the creature behind them was the deadly Lizi. Tian Buyi fell unconscious after its attack, and Zhang Xiaofan prepared to fight it while Ghost King warned that its true body might still be hidden.

• Luo Yunji dispelled the illusion, revealing a massive creature and explaining that it seemed unable to move and was near death.
• Tian Buyi and the others approached the creature, whereupon ash formed into Ancient Remnants and they realized the remnants had been illusions.
• Tian Buyi attacked the giant shell, but a claw struck him from the flames and left him unconscious.
• He Dazhi identified the creature as Lizi and explained that its illusions drove victims mad, while Old Ancestor Fengyue said its back claw could save Tian Buyi.
• Zhang Xiaofan drew the Fire Poker and stepped toward the burning shell, but Ghost King stopped him, warning that Lizi's true body might not be what they saw.

Luo Yunji used the Ice Bowl to find and freeze the dead spirit Lizi, but Lizi broke free as Blackheart Elder identified the black mist controlling it. The mist revealed a resentful voice accusing Blackheart Elder of breaking a promise and demanding an explanation.

• He Dazhi told Zhang Xiaofan that spiritual attributes could counter the illusion, so Zhang Xiaofan gave Luo Yunji the Ice Bowl to save Tian Buyi.
• Luo Yunji spread Ice Mist through the area, found Lizi, and fought its black mist while Zhang Xiaofan's Buddhist light protected the others.
• Luo Yunji exposed Lizi's attacks as illusions and froze the dead spirit in ice.
• Lizi shattered the ice, and Luo Yunji noticed another mass of black mist beside it.
• Blackheart Elder identified the method as corpse control, and the voice in the mist accused him of breaking his promise and owing the speaker's clan an explanation.

Luo Yunji destroyed the Lizi’s corpse and recovered its claw and heart before Tian Buyi woke and learned that the refugees and landscape he had seen were illusions. The group debated whether to follow the river or enter the woods, and Tian Buyi left Old Ancestor Fengyue uncertain about which route they would take.

• Luo Yunji tore apart the Lizi’s corpse with bands of ice and extracted its claw and heart.
• A languid old man in a stone house said he had encountered an old acquaintance, drawing the attention of the black-robed people around him.
• Tian Buyi woke, and Zhang Xiaofan explained how Luo Yunji had defeated the Lizi and freed them from its illusions.
• Tian Buyi learned that the surrounding scenery and refugees were illusions and heard that the Ghost King and others wanted to investigate something ahead.
• The Ghost King argued with Old Ancestor Fengyue over whether to follow the river or cross the woods, while Tian Buyi observed that either route might lead to danger.

Luo Yunji caught a strange Human-Faced Fish, but the group could neither roast nor safely eat it before he ran into the forest. After rescuing him from a carnivorous vine, the group continued deeper into the dangerous forest and found it covered in fine black threads.

• Luo Yunji caught a Human-Faced Fish, and Zhang Xiaofan tried to roast it, but the flames had no effect and the group decided not to eat it.
• Luo Yunji ran into the forest in search of food, and Zhang Xiaofan chased after him as Tian Buyi agreed to continue the journey with the others.
• Tian Buyi found Luo Yunji caught in a vine, while Zhang Xiaofan and He Dazhi freed him and the Ghost King and Old Ancestor Fengyue examined the plant.
• The group traveled deeper into the forest and found fine black threads tangled across the trees, though touching them seemed to cause no unusual effect.
