They then arranged support for the Garbage Recycling Plant, including a huge supply of immortal formation materials for Big Black Ox.

Chen Xun and his companions discussed He Ling’s late friend and prepared to return, but Chen Xun suffered a mysterious soul-shaking pain that felt like remembering and forgetting someone at once. Big Black Ox sent two Primordial Spirits toward the Immortal Ancient Forbidden Ground to rescue Frog Daoist’s old friend.

• Frog Daoist approached Chen Xun and solemnly offered him a stalk of Dust Cleansing Grass.

• Chen Xun kindly asked Gu Sheng to explain himself as the Five Elements Sect's hidden onlookers and powerful auras made him fear for his life.

Chen Xun questioned Gu Sheng about the Chaos Clan and the history of the previous Great Thousand World era.
