• Lin Yi brought Gu Tianxue to the former secret realm, where they found a huge black hole expanding above the canyon.

Lin Yi and Gu Tianxue entered the Black Mountain secret realm and found Grand Saint Granny and the Gu Family Old Ancestor fighting Evil Creatures pouring from a rift connected to the Far West Black Mist. When a colossal Dark Hand nearly killed the two women, Lin Yi stopped it with the Twelve Tong Passes, but the enemy sent more Evil Creatures into the realm.
