• Tongtian publicly announces that he will give a lecture in one hundred years. Because he teaches without discrimination and anyone capable of reaching Golden Turtle Island may attend, countless cultivators across the Primordial World rush toward the island.
• Zhao Gongming finishes comprehending the powers of the Twelfth-Rank Purifying World White Lotus. He also masters:
  • Brahma, a dangerous Primordial Spirit attack capable of briefly incapacitating even powerful opponents.
  • Great Purification Art, which cleanses negative forces, killing intent, and even Calamity Sha Qi, helping him remain clear-minded during Tribulations.
• Zhao explores Yingzhou Immortal Island and transfers its spiritual roots and materials into his Second Heavens World. The island contains hundreds of Innate Spiritual Roots and countless Acquired Spiritual Roots, greatly strengthening his world.
