• Ling Yi turned toward the fog covering the mountain and raised his hand.

Ling Yi founded the Heaven-Exploding Sect and discovered that Transport could strip cultivators of a power that Hou Liang could devour to gain strength and heightened senses.

• Ling Yi cleared the mist formation and entered the Vast Righteousness Sect with Jiang Xiaohui, Lin San, Nanchuan, and the others.

As the elders turned against Nalan Haoran over her hoarding of spirit stones, Ling Yi finished cultivating and ordered Yan Wuqie to obtain the sect’s cultivation methods.

• Nalan Haoran attacked Ling Yi with Ten Thousand Swords Unite as One, but his Hold Position skill made him invulnerable while he stayed still.
• Ling Yi exploited gaps between Nalan Haoran’s attacks to transport Spiritual Power from the sect’s disciples and absorb it, draining thousands of them and merging Nalan Haoran’s Core Spirit Divine Infant into his lower dantian.
