Chu Mo and the other cultivators were ambushed by Bai Li’s dragonkind, who awakened a powerful soul fragment of the Abyssal Wave Flood Dragon Lord.

After True Lord Zhiyun departed, Chu Mo and the others faced the immobilized flood dragons and had to decide what to do with them.

• The Hung Abyss Sea lost part of its territory to the Azure Depths Sea after the Great Evolution, Heaven's Will, and Tribulation Deliverance sects struck it together, weakening aquatic beings across the Outer Sea.

As he headed for another Water Eye, True Person Si Yun revealed that Chu Mo had not originally been chosen for the sect mission and that Jiqing had arranged for his name to be submitted.

• Chu Mo sent Bai Li and four other Banner Spirits to subdue the two wounded Flood Dragon Generals, then extracted their souls into the Profound Banner and destroyed the Water Eye's Flood Dragon Spirit.
• Chu Mo ordered Bai Li to use the Abyss-Tide Pearl and [Sea-Covering Tide] to sever the Water Eye's connection to the Outer Sea, earning a surge of providence.

• Chu Mo questioned Bai Li about refining a second Life-bound Magical Treasure, and she explained how to cultivate Law nature into a Dharmic Treasure.

• Chu Mo entered the Xisang Kingdom disguised as a Ghost Creature and learned that Xi Sang allowed mortals over fifty to be taken as food.
• Chu Mo watched Xi Sang’s procession and noticed the Ink Seal in his hand, then asked a Green-Faced Ghost where it came from.

• The Green-Faced Ghost told Chu Mo that Xi Sang’s Ink Seal could kill anyone whose name it stamped, and described a cultivator who died three days after being sentenced.

• Chu Mo found Qingmian Lang in a distant cave, where the Death Sentence took effect and its yin qi backlash destroyed it.
• Chu Mo collected the black aura left behind and realized it could help him refine his second Life-bound Magical Treasure, though he still had to obtain Xi Sang’s [Law].

After learning that Jiqing was preparing to act, Chu Mo agreed to travel with Si Yun to Gathering Affinity Mountain in seven days.

• Sushang instructed disciples to intensify the trials of their chosen couples, including making one man believe his lover was an evil creature.

Chu Mo captured Sushang and used [All Beings Aspect] to take her place, but her memories revealed that Jiqing remained hidden while preparing the Sevenfold Heart-Fated Love Array. After Chu Mo disrupted the passion seeds to draw him out, Jiqing contacted him through the love puppet Heyue and gave him Borrowed Fate Threads to restore the array.

After the ceremony, Yuanyi assigned Chu Mo, Xi Hong, and Li Xing to oversee affairs in the Turbid Abyss while the sect prepared a handover.

• Qing Ting questioned Yuanyi about the missing counterfeit cultivators and learned Chu Mo was a Harmony Truth disciple, a sect he detested over replicas of his Azure Thunderclap Pearl.
