Chen Feng completed work in the Golden Triangle, named the new space-based weapon the Sword of Xingfeng, and returned to Dragon Country to visit Xingfeng Group. There, Li Xiaorou struggled with dwindling raw-material supplies and worried that Chen Feng had been gone too long, so she planned to travel to Shan State to find out whether he was with Lin Wei.

Chen Feng passed the Nascent Soul state-of-mind trial after resisting an illusion in which a powerful cultivator destroyed the Xingfeng Sect and killed those he cared about. As his Nascent Soul formed on Jade Emperor Peak, Number Seven arrived to capture Li Xiaorou but died after Chen Feng’s uncontrolled presence overwhelmed him.

He returned to the Painting Scroll World and arrived at the Xingfeng Sect, where Zhengjiao sensed that Chen Feng had broken through to Nascent Soul.

• Qiefusi told John that a powerful Dragon Country transcendent had killed Number Seven, then suggested Jack might have provided Dragon Country with advanced cultivation methods.

Chen Feng prepared to install a space-based weapon beyond Canglan Star, while Zhengjiao warned him that a planet-guarding formation could destroy anyone who left. After seven days surveying the Northern Border’s rapid development, Chen Feng stood above its expanding settlements, ready to head into the stars.

• Chen Feng gave Yue Yao blueprints for a million-ton Three-Phase Bomb and cautioned that even it could only kill a Nascent Soul cultivator by catching them off guard.

Chen Feng discovered that worshippers’ statues produced Power of Faith, which strengthened his Nascent Soul’s Spiritual Rhyme and let him prepare for his journey to the Inner Sea. He then took the Luan Bird Aerospace Carrier into orbit to install a weapon, protecting Zhengjiao from the dangerous Alien Spiritual Qi as they left Canglan Star.

• Chen Feng found that the statues of him in Northern Border villages produced Power of Faith, and he absorbed it to increase his Spiritual Rhyme.
• Chen Feng collected Power of Faith across the Northern Border until his Nascent Soul could barely contain it, giving him enough Spiritual Rhyme for more than fifty uses of Teleportation.
• Liu Qian told Chen Feng that the three hundred satellites were ready, and Chen Feng boarded the Luan Bird Aerospace Carrier to leave for space.
• Chen Feng told Zhengjiao he intended to install a weapon in space, then wrapped Zhengjiao in Star Energy as the carrier passed through Canglan Star’s atmosphere.
• Chen Feng and Zhengjiao reached orbit, where Chen Feng sensed the dangerous Alien Spiritual Qi and steered the carrier toward its designated position.

• Chen Feng and Zhengjiao deployed all three hundred satellites in low orbit around Canglan Star.
• Chen Feng had Zhengjiao help place the Sword of Xingfeng in orbit where it could cover the Outer Sea, then activated it.
• Chen Feng ordered Taiyi to fire the Sword of Xingfeng at a selected target, and a laser flashed down toward Canglan Star.

• True Lord Kongyou searched Kongyou City and called out to the unknown attacker while Gu Ran waited in silence.

Chen Feng confronted the Beast Taming Sect cultivators and refused to reconcile, then killed Zhou Kuntai instantly with a mysterious red beam. Mu Yun fled while the witnesses tried to understand the attack, and Jiang Bohan offered two possible explanations.

• Liu Si identified Zhou Kuntai's Heavenly Demon Bull as a powerful Nascent Soul beast, while Mu Yun questioned the Xingfeng Sect's intentions.
• Chen Feng arrived at the Black Sea Branch and told Mu Yun and Zhou Kuntai that the Beast Taming Sect had provoked the Xingfeng Sect by enslaving its Demon Beasts.
• Chen Feng rejected any prospect of peace, declared Zhou Kuntai's death, and a red beam vaporized Zhou Kuntai and his Nascent Soul.
• Mu Yun fled, and the surviving cultivators stared in shock as the Heavenly Demon Bull died from the backlash of its master's death.
• Jiang Bohan told Xiao Ling that Chen Feng might have used the legendary Death Incantation Technique or that a Spirit Transformation cultivator had attacked secretly.

Chen Feng killed Zhou Kuntai with the Xingfeng Sect’s space-based weapon, then let Mu Yun believe a hidden Spirit Transformation cultivator was responsible. After Mu Yun apologized and paid compensation, Chen Feng secretly killed him as well, leaving Xiao Ling shocked by the news.

• Chen Feng killed Zhou Kuntai instantly with a laser fired from the space-based weapon, shocking the cultivators and strengthening the Xingfeng Sect’s confidence.

The Xingfeng Sect’s appearance at twenty-first place on the Wind and Cloud Ranking astonished Inner Sea cultivators, who learned that the Outer Sea power was suspected of being able to contend with a Spirit Transformation cultivator. At the Beast Taming Sect, Jiu borrowed the Heavenly Secrets Rope to investigate how Zhou Kuntai died, and began asking it about the killing.

• The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion ranked the Xingfeng Sect twenty-first, prompting cultivators to buy information and learn that Chen of the Northern Territory had killed a Beast Taming Sect Nascent Soul Cultivator and that the sect could contend with a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
• Cultivators across the Inner Sea spread news of the Xingfeng Sect’s rise, while some speculated that it had gained an inheritance from High Antiquity.
• Juemingzi told four other Nascent Soul Cultivators that Zhou Kuntai and Mu Yun had died beneath a strange red light, but he refused to alert the ancestor or send anyone to confront the Xingfeng Sect.
• Jiu asked the red-faced elder to lend him the Heavenly Secrets Rope so he could repay his debt to Zhou Kuntai; the elder accepted a Crimson Primordial Pill in exchange.
• Jiu entered the Heavenly Secrets Rope’s gray space and asked the mist how Zhou Kuntai had died.

After a Beast Taming Sect elder died while using the Heavenly Secrets Rope to investigate the Xingfeng Sect, Chen Feng prepared to travel to the Inner Sea. He left the sect’s affairs with Liu Qian and departed with plans to contact Xingfeng’s intelligence agents.

• The Heavenly Secrets Rope showed Junior Brother Qiu a blurred Chen Feng and a massive object beyond Canglan Star before Qiu died, having lost over a thousand years of lifespan.
• Juemingzi ordered the Beast Taming Sect to stop its disciples from going to the Outer Sea or targeting the Xingfeng Sect, and he kept the matter of the blurred figure secret until the sect master returned.

• Chen Feng told Liu Qian and Mo Chen that he would travel to the Inner Sea, accepted a Jade Slip identifying Xingfeng’s intelligence agents, and vanished.

Chen Feng reached the Boundary Sea Region on his way to the Inner Sea and intervened when Guan Xing’s group attacked Xiao Jianmu. After Chen Feng revealed his overwhelming power, Guan Xing’s servant fled, but Chen Feng shattered his False Core with a word.

• Chen Feng appeared, stopped Guan Xing’s whip, and told him that Xiao Jianmu was under his protection.
• Guan Xing’s False Core servant fled, but Chen Feng’s words shattered his False Core and destroyed his body, leaving only his Divine Soul.

Chen Feng crossed the Storm Sea Region into the Inner Sea after revealing his Nascent Soul strength and rescuing Xiao Jianmu. He emerged alone at an exit where bandit cultivators were waiting to ambush Outer Sea arrivals.

• Chen Feng emerged from the Storm Sea Region after half a month of travel and looked over the Inner Sea.
