• Lu Feng searched for the Martial Contest Hall and came across an enormous statue.

Gu Xijue led her black-clad followers toward the unguarded Panshen Heavenly Palace while Sun Jiuyang explained the ancient conflict between the Immortal Race and the Witch Clan over Pangu’s origins.

• Lu Feng fed Su Yuexin pills and used his true qi to guide hers, noticing that her Primordial Spirit seemed to absorb his energy.
• Su Yuexin woke and told Lu Feng he had arrived just in time, and he carefully helped her to her feet.
