• Jiang Chen realized the Star Sea Blessed Land was nearing destruction and planned to use its exposed essence to aid the Spirit Lord and nourish the Yellow Heaven Dao Palace.

The Impermanence Sect tried to seize the Abyssal Sea Blessed Land, but Canghai True Lord emerged and confronted the four True Lords with the True One Profound Mother Treasure Wheel.

• Daoist Yuangang used the Blessed Land's power to withstand the tribulation fire and solidify his celestial phenomenon.
• Canghai True Lord prepared Jellyfish Palace to retreat into the inner sea if Daoist Yuangang broke through, while Raging Tide True Lord blamed Hollow Mulberry Valley and the Dark Feather Cult for their predicament.

• Jiang Chen ordered Red Jade to pay closer attention to reports about the gods.

Jiang Chen used the Four Symbols Dharma Robe as a reference to create the Water-Fire Immortal Garment, an auxiliary cultivation ability that could also defend him and restore his mana. Perfecting it advanced his transformation true intent to major accomplishment, bringing the late Purple Mansion stage within reach as he planned his next cultivation steps.
