• Qin Yu decided to cultivate the technique, and Cao Bing resolved to try it as well.
• Cao Bing pointed out that Qin Yu’s leaking Xiantian dantian suited the technique’s method of dispersing before gathering, and Qin Yu thanked him for the insight.

At Leishan Residence, Cao Bing urged Qin Yu to focus on cultivating rather than attempting to cross the Wildlands, and both grew stronger through training and battles with demon beasts. Cao Bing began refining materials to create a Gravity Formation, hoping to improve his cultivation.

• Cao Bing reassured Qin Yu that they needed to become stronger before trying to leave the Wildlands, and Qin Yu decided to cultivate after sensing his Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation approaching.

• Cao Bing handed over his Spirits of Plants and Trees and warned Ice Mountain about a powerful aura near Mist Island's center.
• Ice Mountain collected Spirits of Plants and Trees near the island's center until the Moyun Vine attacked and drove him into retreat.

Cao Bing met with Hong, who rewarded him for his contributions on Mist Island and confirmed he would still receive the Black God Suit he had earned at the Training Camp. After exchanging his shares for treasures, Cao Bing decided to stay in Hongning Base City and join the Special Operations Team while Luo Feng returned to Jiangnan Base City to become an inspector.

• Hong praised Cao Bing for defeating Fale and explained that Cao Bing qualified for councilor rank but could not become a councilor before surpassing the God of War level.

• Luo Feng told Cao Bing he was returning to Jiangnan Base City to become an inspector, and invited him to eat at Nine-Story Tower.
• Cao Bing said he would stay in Hongning Base City to serve on the Special Operations Team, and Luo Feng noted that his own King-class fighter would make visits easy.
