Arc 14The Crimson Coffin and Long Qing
Gu An protected Third Medicine Valley as Heavenly Demons and the Dark War Emperor threatened Taicang Continent, then confronted the Sacred Court over its role in the disaster. The story left him reflecting on reincarnation after Ye Yan’s death while Long Qing began a new path of training.
- Gu An helped An Xin awaken her cultivation, acquired Azure Sky Peak, and brought her to the Thunder Sea Demon Domain, where the peak drove demons away without killing them.
- Gu An experienced Lu Han’s life in the Primordial Great World and gained insight into the Dao of Fate before sensing the Crimson Coffin descend from the Extinction Domain.
- Gu An brought Long Qing out of the Demon Fetus and raised him in Third Medicine Valley, hiding his origins as the Crimson Coffin remained sealed.
- The Dark War Emperor emerged from the coffin and slaughtered across the land, but Gu An’s Eternal Boundless Divine Sword pursued and killed him beyond Heaven.
- Gu An confronted the Sacred Court over the Heavenly Demons’ release, learned the Sacred Chancellor had arranged the Dark War Emperor’s descent, and demanded the Great Underworld Holy King.
- The Sacred Chancellor delivered the Great Underworld Holy King to Gu An, who annihilated him, then warned his disciples to cultivate as unrest continued to rise.
- Shenxinzi began secretly teaching Long Qing, while Li Ya returned from his travels and Ye Yan visited Gu An before asking to be buried in Third Medicine Valley.
- After Ye Yan died, Gu An stood before his grave and entered enlightenment, while Long Qing accepted Shenxinzi’s body-refinement training and An Xin questioned Shenxinzi’s attention to him.
