• Tian Buyi and the disciples built a guarded five-story bamboo storehouse and sorted their treasures, weapons, and cultivation methods into it.

• Zhang Xiaofan, Wu Dayi, and Luo Yunji worked together to weave Mysterious Gauze while preparing to make an umbrella from Quhu's horn spikes.

• Tian Buyi examined the umbrella and questioned He Dazhi, who revealed that one of Luo Yunji's formations absorbed living beings and their soul consciousness.

Big Bamboo Peak’s disciples enjoyed brewing wine, sharing new cultivation secrets, and spending peaceful days together. Their contentment was abruptly disrupted when they woke to a strange distortion that confused their senses and made even simple movements difficult.

• The disciples and Tian Buyi and Su Ru continued cultivating and enjoying their peaceful life on Big Bamboo Peak, while Tian Buyi secretly practiced the risky technique and barely slept.
• The next morning, the residents of Big Bamboo Peak found their senses distorted: they misjudged distances, struggled to recognize objects by touch, and heard sounds as chaotic noise.

Wu Dayi’s breakthrough caused his “Heavenly Heart” ability to confuse everyone’s senses, forcing the Big Bamboo Peak disciples to leave him behind while he learned to control it.

When the tournament participants gathered at Jade Purity Hall, Luo Yunji rushed toward the Spirit Venerable, which caught him in its jaws and vanished beneath Jade Water Pool.

• Big Yellow led Zhang Xiaofan and the other disciples to Heaven-Reaching Peak’s kitchen, where Zhang Xiaofan defended Luo Yunji from people trying to stop him eating.

Luo Yunji's attempt to play with Zhang Xiaofan and the Big Bamboo Peak disciples sparked a noisy brawl among the tournament contestants and brought down their lodging. Daoxuan postponed punishment until after the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, but as Tian Buyi led his disciples away, Luo Yunji and Zhang Xiaofan caused more damage to nearby buildings.

• Luo Yunji's bed games with Zhang Xiaofan and the Big Bamboo Peak senior brothers made enough noise to provoke neighboring disciples, whose complaints spread into a brawl across the lodgings.
