• The Chaos Bone Sword Tower reappeared, and its artifact spirit angrily accused Chen Zheng of destroying its master’s arrangements and obtaining a jade disc.

• The artifact spirit appeared as a small metal dragon and tried to retreat, but Chen Zheng caught it with a casual grab.
• Jue Tianshen asked whether such eternal beings existed, and Chen Zheng admitted he had neither reached that level nor seen one; the metal dragon cursed him.
