After deciding to allow unrestricted car sales but keep stronger weapons off the market, he set out alone for Moon Luminous Island to inspect its new marketplace.

• Wang Hu and Liu Qian praised Taiyi, and Chen Feng used it to access the Black Sea Branch’s cameras and locate Haili cultivating in her bedroom.
• Taiyi explained that Haili had installed the bedroom camera herself and restricted access to Chen Feng, prompting Yue Yao to suspect Haili had a scheme.

There, branch head Ge Yunxuan worried that a Heart Demon would ruin his Golden Core breakthrough, just as Yan Ying came to see him.

• Chen Feng praised Mo Yang’s response to the loss, awarded the Demon Beasts, and departed for Moon Luminous Island with Haili.
• Ge Yunxuan, head of the Moon Luminous Island Branch, considered seeking help from the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce because Blood Food Spiritual Qi threatened to trigger a terrifying Heart Demon during Core Formation.
• Yan Ying appeared at the meeting hall and called out to Ge Yunxuan.

Ge Yunxuan prepared for Xingfeng Market’s opening amid fears that Azure Sky Island would cause trouble, then learned Zhang Jin would surrender only if the sect master agreed to kill Mo Wuxie. Three days later, Xingfeng Market opened to the attention of Moon Luminous Island’s cultivators.

• Yan Ying warned Ge Yunxuan that Azure Sky Island might disrupt Xingfeng Market’s opening, so he arranged defenses and summoned the branch’s Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Xingfeng Sect opened its market on Moon Luminous Island, but Weng Sheng and Lady Snake and Scorpion arrived from Azure Sky Island and provoked the sect. Ge Yunxuan avoided fighting at the market, and Weng Sheng demanded to test his strength against the Xingfeng Sect's body-cultivator sect master.

• Ge Yunxuan and Yan Ying welcomed cultivators and representatives of the Luo Clan, the Sword Inquiry Sect, and other powers to Xingfeng Market's opening.
