After recovering and organizing defenses against the Celestial Race, Jiang Ping'an rushed to rescue the Ye Family Ancient Clan when its grotto-heaven came under attack.

After the Chaos Gourd killed sixteen Celestial Race saints, Jiang Ping'an worried that the Celestial Race might send even stronger enemies and learned more about the source of their strength. Back in Ping'an City, he reassured the Ye Family Ancient Clan that he had reached their grotto-heaven and driven off the attackers, astonishing his family.

Jiang Ping'an sent the Golden-Winged Peng to spy on the Celestial Race, but the bird was pursued by the newly advanced Seven-Colored Sky-Burning Sparrow. She insisted on repaying Jiang Ping'an for enlightening her, so he tasked her with gathering intelligence on the Celestial Race and its three former Great Emperors; she flew west as he returned to Ping'an City.

• Jiang Ping'an ordered the Golden-Winged Peng to monitor the Celestial Race and lent him the Primordial Bell and a jade token to recruit five Demon Emperor-level birds.

• Jiang Ping'an gave the Seven-Colored Sky-Burning Sparrow intelligence about the Celestial Race and warned her to prioritize survival, then returned to Ping'an City with the Golden-Winged Peng.

Jiang Ping'an weighed the danger posed by Demon Emperors he had once controlled, then received the Seven-Colored Sky-Burning Sparrow, who returned in human form with detailed intelligence on the Celestial Race. She offered to search for three former Great Emperors, and Jiang Ping'an promised her a great favor if she found even one.

Golden-Winged Peng returned with a map that confirmed Seven-Colored Sky-Burning Sparrow’s intelligence was more detailed, though Jiang Ping'an remained unsure of her motives. After she returned badly wounded with the location of a previous-generation Celestial Race Great Emperor, Jiang Ping'an healed her and set out with her to find him.

• Golden-Winged Peng presented Jiang Ping'an with his map of the Celestial Race’s distribution, and Jiang Ping'an found Seven-Colored Sky-Burning Sparrow’s map more complete but remained wary of her intentions.

• When Seven-Colored Sky-Burning Sparrow offered to carry him so they could travel faster, Jiang Ping'an climbed onto her back.

Jiang Ping'an stormed the Spirit Connection Great Canyon, killed five Celestial Race Saints, and drove the Second Generation Great Emperor of Celestial Race into a desperate escape. The Great Emperor vanished after sacrificing the Dragon Pattern Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, but Jiang Ping'an then sensed a Super Heavenly Tribulation gathering over him.

• The Seven-Colored Sky-Burning Sparrow carried Jiang Ping'an close to the Celestial Race’s hiding place before stopping to avoid detection, and Jiang Ping'an continued alone.

• World Extinction Lightning killed the oldest and strongest Celestial Race Saint, then struck down the other Saints fleeing across Heavenly Mountain.
