After Mystic Turtle opened a Primary Greater Thousand World, Xuan Qing and his companions discussed the new path to proving the Dao and examined the treasures he had received.

After Xuan Wu agreed, the North Sea races gathered for a banquet, where Xuan Qing received Clam Pearls and invited the Clam Clan to trade with Azure Nether Island.

• Xuan Qing explained that the Heavenly Dao would take control of the Prehistoric Era and restrict those who had not secured their cultivation through Great Dao Merit or the River of Great Dao.
