The Sword Martial Venerable identified it as an unfinished artifact and began to consider how it might be completed.

• The Sword Martial Venerable examined Lu Feng's scabbard and identified it as wood from the Wutong Treasure Tree, an innate spiritual root of the Phoenix Clan.

• The Sword Martial Venerable said he could make a few deductions, restoring Lu Feng's hope.

Sword Martial Venerable warned Yuqing Daoist against pursuing the position of Supreme and risking another war, arguing that unforeseen powers could emerge. He hinted that Lu Feng or Sun Jiuyang might one day rival the Nine-Headed Heavenly Emperor, then let Yuqing decide what to do as Lu Feng and Sun Jiuyang departed.

• Sword Martial Venerable rejected Yuqing Daoist's ambition to contend for Supreme and urged him not to force his way into an age that was not yet theirs.

Lu Feng and Sun Jiuyang left Sword Finger Peak after learning that Sword Martial Venerable and Yuqing Daoist were fellow disciples, then headed toward Yaochi for the Flat Peach Banquet. Lu Feng found a way to counter the Light Dao Body's scheme by planning to make a magic treasure with materials available in Jade Void City.

• Lu Feng planned to use the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book to kill the restless Innate Dao Bodies and resolve his predicament.

Lu Feng told Sun Jiuyang about several deadly secret arts the High Priest had taught him, and Sun Jiuyang warned that using them would consume the caster’s merit and fortune. Lu Feng realized the High Priest had likely taught him arts intended to bring about his own death.

• Lu Feng explained the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book to Sun Jiuyang, who warned that using it would deplete the caster’s fortune and could kill him.
• Lu Feng described the Six Souls Banner, and Sun Jiuyang said it was even more dangerous and could bring calamity even to a powerful user.
• Lu Feng began describing the Destruction Gu Mosquito, and Sun Jiuyang recognized it as a vicious art that even an Immortal King could not safely refine.
• Lu Feng asked about a formation, and Sun Jiuyang identified it as the Ten Absolute Arrays, concluding that whoever taught Lu Feng these arts must have held a deep grudge against him.
• Lu Feng accepted that the secret arts were likely meant to kill both their targets and their user.

Lu Feng learned from Sun Jiuyang that the secret arts taught by the High Priest could consume their user’s fortune and be countered, but might be used to kill enemies through borrowed blades. After rejecting Sun Jiuyang’s risky schemes, Lu Feng arrived with him at Jade Void City.

• Sun Jiuyang explained the Ten Absolute Arrays’ fatal flaw: their baleful energy could be drained by sending someone in to die, leaving the formation vulnerable.
• Lu Feng cursed the High Priest for teaching him dangerous secret arts, and Sun Jiuyang suggested teaching them to an enemy’s enemy to kill with a borrowed blade.

• Lu Feng heard Su Yuexin joking with Su Yuexi and spotted the two women on a peak near Perfect Jade Perfected and other companions.
• Sun Jiuyang identified two of the companions as primordial unity golden immortals and warned Lu Feng that approaching could endanger Su Yuexi and Su Yuexin, so Lu Feng remained hidden.
