• Xiao Yan opened his eyes after comprehending the Dragon Phoenix World Shocking Style, gained insight into World Will and Transcendent Saint Grade, and saw the mural return to its still, rougher appearance.

• Eight years passed, during which the True Dragon Emperor, Xun Er, Xiao Yi Xian, Cai Lin, and others gained major breakthroughs and powers.

• Xun Er and the others joined Xiao Yan, who explained that refining the Divine Bone might cause the Great Thousand World to reject him and keep him from summoning the Heavens List.

The Ancient Heavenly Palace reappeared as the final Great Thousand Covenant approached, drawing Xiao Yan’s attention to its inheritance and the fate of the Great Thousand World. He sent Xiao Xiao toward the palace, while warning Xun Er that whoever claimed One Qi Transforms into Three Purities might become the world’s savior.
