As he approached Moon Luminous Island, news of his arrival drew the Luo Clan, the Heavenly Demon Sect's affiliated factions, and other onlookers to gather.

• Chen Feng told Qu Jing he was traveling to the Heavenly Demon Sect and offered to sell her modern items, including a pistol.
• Chen Feng revealed he belonged to the Xingfeng Sect in Yingzhou and was Chen of the Northern Territory, prompting Qu Jing to leave so the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce would stay out of the dispute.

• Qu Jing and the Luo Clan patriarch assessed the carrier’s close-in defense gun and decided the Xingfeng Sect’s weapons were impressive but not enough to threaten Golden Core cultivators.

• Yue Yao reported the successful strike, while Bi Ran sensed his life tablet had shattered and the Luo Clan patriarch realized Origin Return Island was gone.

After the Xingfeng Sect destroyed Origin Return Island with a nuclear bomb, Chen Feng used the display of force to confront the Heavenly Demon Sect and demand compensation. The Luo Clan intervened as an ally, and Chen Feng departed with one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones after promising to release Ku Xiaotian upon returning to Yingzhou.

• The Luo Clan learned that Origin Return Island had been destroyed, and Luo Yinxue warned Luo Ming about the nuclear bomb’s power; Luo Ming summoned the clan’s Golden Core cultivators.

• Elder Wang threatened Chen Feng, but Luo Ming arrived with seven Golden Core cultivators and declared the Xingfeng Sect an ally of the Luo Clan.
• Elder Wang offered to settle the dispute if Chen Feng released Ku Xiaotian, but Chen Feng insisted on one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones as compensation.
• Elder Wang gave Chen Feng the spirit stones, and Chen Feng departed aboard the aerospace carrier, promising to release Ku Xiaotian after returning to Yingzhou.

The Heavenly Demon Sect paid Chen Feng one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and chose not to provoke the Xingfeng Sect while its sect master prepared to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Chen Feng traveled to the ruins of Origin Return Island, where Qu Jing delivered recovered spoils and sought to discuss buying the Xingfeng Sect’s weapons.

Chen Feng and Qu Jing arranged a trade between the Xingfeng Sect and the Immortal Treasure Chamber of Commerce, exchanging modern firearms for cultivation-world goods and resources. The deal opened a route for future commerce, and Qu Jing toured Chen Feng’s aerospace carrier while he waited for the purchases to arrive.

• Chen Feng stayed aboard the aerospace carrier for safety and sent Yue Yao to show Qu Jing around it.
• Chen Feng reflected that the trade route and the Heavenly Demon Sect’s retreat gave the Xingfeng Sect time and resources to develop.

Chen Feng returned toward Yingzhou after his visit to Moon Luminous Island, while Haili chose not to pursue him because she feared the Xingfeng Sect. In the Northern Border, the sect’s expanding development and influence raised concerns for Great Jin, but Ge Yunxuan urged patience and faith in Chen Feng’s plans.

• Qu Jing left Chen Feng’s air and space carrier after he promised to deliver pistols and bullets in half a month, and she planned to visit the Xingfeng Sect then.
• As the air and space carrier crossed the Black Sea, Yue Yao reported that someone was following them, so Chen Feng ordered the ship to full speed and escaped the pursuer.
• Haili arrived too late to catch the carrier and refused the black flood dragon’s demand to seek revenge, warning that the Xingfeng Sect was too dangerous to challenge.
• The Northern Border expanded its roads, factories, schools, and Xingfeng Sect branches as mortals sought training and work, and the sect’s growing influence spread throughout Yingzhou.
• Uncle Yuan warned Ge Yunxuan that incoming immortal cultivators might threaten Great Jin’s position in the Northern Border, but Ge Yunxuan told him to follow the sect’s rules and earn contributions while awaiting Chen Feng’s return.
