Xiao Long learned that Mu Chen was not at the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and decided to travel to the Northern Spirit Realm instead. He estimated that he had nearly fifty years to prepare before the final gathering to kill the Evil God, and wondered about a mystery in The Great Ruler.

• Xiao Long told Northern Darkness Dragon Kun to investigate Mu Chen and locate the Northern Spirit Realm.
• Northern Darkness Dragon Kun reported that no student named Mu Chen attended the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and provided a map to the Northern Spirit Realm.

• Xiao Long thought about a plot hole in The Great Ruler that had long puzzled him.

Xiao Long traveled to the Northern Spirit Realm to investigate how Mu Feng and Qing Yan Jing would meet, only to find that Mu Chen had not been born and Mu Feng had no wife. He brought his allies to the realm, established control over it, and arranged for Mu Feng to be watched while he waited for events to unfold.

• Xiao Long reached the Northern Spirit Realm and confirmed that Mu Chen had not yet been born and Mu Feng had no wife.

• Xiao Long ordered Gu Yuan to unify the Northern Spirit Realm, and its domain lords welcomed the protection of a Heavenly Sovereign.
• Xiao Long instructed Gu Yuan to keep watch over the Mu Domain and Zhu Kun to secretly observe Mu Feng because Qing Yan Jing was difficult to evade.

Before departing, he took the Nine Nether Sparrow egg from the Black Nether Abyss, revived her, and forcibly subdued her.

• Xiao Long set out for Tian Luo Continent, which lay some distance from Northern Cang Continent.

Xiao Long reached the Nine Nether Palace and asked Manjushri to help him enter the Ancient Heavenly Court. After she attacked him and he effortlessly swallowed her black flames, Manjushri realized he was far stronger than an ordinary Earth Supreme, and Xiao Long tried to calm her so they could talk.

Xiao Long tried to persuade Manjushri to reveal the Ancient Heavenly Court’s location, explaining that the Heavenly Emperor was suppressing the Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor. After Xiao Long claimed he could handle the threat, Manjushri agreed to take him to the ruins, though she did not know how to enter.

• Manjushri refused until Xiao Long warned that the Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor would eventually kill the Heavenly Emperor and threaten Tian Luo Continent.

• Xiao Long told Manjushri to take him to the ruins and promised he had a way to get inside.

Xiao Long brought Manjushri and the Nine Nether Sparrow into the Ancient Heavenly Court, where they found the Heavenly Emperor’s Mausoleum and the remains of a terrifying Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

• Xiao Long asked Manjushri for all her accumulated Supreme Spirit Liquid, and she agreed.

Xiao Long used Manjushri’s Supreme Spirit Liquid to cultivate two clones to Earth Supreme Grand Perfection, then sent them to collect more from sects across Tian Luo Continent. His raids angered the continent’s powers, and he openly waited for them to seek revenge.

• Manjushri gave Xiao Long all her sect’s Supreme Spirit Liquid and disbanded the sect.

• The allied sects and clans demanded that Xiao Long's side come forward and pay for its actions.

• The people of Purple Cloud Sect bowed to Purple Cloud True Person, while Xiao Long judged him no threat.

Xiao Long faced the four Heavenly Sovereigns who gathered outside Nine Nether Palace, sending his two incarnations to fight while keeping his true strength inside. As Mysterious Heaven Venerate attacked the palace, a Demon Emperor Battle Corpse emerged and drew Thunder Venerate into battle.

• Purple Cloud True Person called on Thunder Venerate, Dragon Carving Great Emperor, and Mysterious Heaven Venerate, bringing all four Heavenly Sovereigns of Tian Luo Continent together.

Xiao Long collected Supreme Spirit Liquid from four Heavenly Sovereigns, then learned that Xiao Xun'er and the others had run into a powerful group while preparing to take over Tian Luo Continent. He left seclusion to rush to their aid.
