• Lin Fei praised Yin Chenglin's caution, then looked toward the Old Peng King, who became nervous.

• Ye Wudi faced the Solar Physique’s heavenly tribulation and successfully reached early Tribulation Transcendence.
• Lin Fei reflected that the stable rules of the Primordial Wilderness prevented him from exploiting Ye Wudi’s tribulation to gain more resources.
