Arc 145Preparations Against Jiang Hengdao
Xuan Yuanjun and his allies prepared treasure and divine weapon formations to oppose Jiang Hengdao, whose demonstration at the Creation Sect exposed their vulnerability to a foreign aura.

- Jiang Hengdao activated his formations earlier than expected, and Zhu Qingquan borrowed their force to draw spiritual energy into the treasure and divine weapon imitations.
- Huang Xiao reached the Last Spirit Land, where Jiang Hengdao revealed that the Vortex Formation connected the two domains and repeated his demand for Zuo Qiu Yi's longevity true qi.
