Liu Wubo attacked a church gathering after his mother donated his wedding savings, but she stabbed him to death and was rewarded with a chance to enter the Heaven Trial.

• Chen Feng persuaded Mother Zhong not to touch a golden statue, and Yellow Hair’s mother helped her resist her greed.
• As unnatural mist disoriented the group, they reached a sales pavilion where Chen Feng realized the white iron hiking poles were safer than the gold or valuable wooden poles.
• Mother Zhong took gold poles for herself and Zhong Jielian, while Yellow Hair’s mother chose a white pole; the poles helped the group keep their bearings in the mist.

• Chen Feng and the survivors passed a stream of Golden Men and reached the summit, where Joy at a Glance appeared in a golden palace.

Joy at a Glance died, but the chapter revealed that Body of Sorrow had already invaded Chen Feng’s dream—and encountered a monstrous Human-Faced Planet.

• Chen Feng and Old Wolf discovered that valuable objects let them hurt Joy at a Glance, while his golden curse required him to touch someone with both hands.
