• Ning Wangshu decided to go with Xie Ting to Mount Fuji and find out what Susanoo-no-Mikoto intended to do with the Yasakani no Magatama.
• Susanoo-no-Mikoto arrived at Mount Fuji and showed the Yasakani no Magatama to a blood-light figure waiting there with another companion.
• The blood-light figure ordered them to open Takamagahara's passage so a formation could blockade Japan and blood-sacrifice its people to attack an All Heavens Seal node.

As Susanoo-no-Mikoto sensed him, Ning Wangshu arranged for an incarnation to escort Xie Ting back to Huaxia while he prepared to face the danger alone.

• Ning Wangshu identified the jade hook inside Xie Ting’s pendant as the Yasakani no Magatama and concluded Susanoo-no-Mikoto was using it to break Takamagahara’s seal.
• Susanoo-no-Mikoto merged the talisman into the seal, causing it to crumble, then flew out of Mount Fuji.

• Ning Wangshu created an incarnation to escort Xie Ting to Huaxia, gave it the Bahuang Zhentianding, and protected them with a veil of Immortal Light.

Ning Wangshu returned to Mount Fuji to challenge Susanoo-no-Mikoto, a true immortal, and blocked his opening sword strike with the Qiankun Treasure Mirror. Susanoo-no-Mikoto judged Ning Wangshu to be weaker and launched a more powerful follow-up attack.

• Ning Wangshu left Xie Ting behind and hurried back to Mount Fuji, eager to test his strength against Susanoo-no-Mikoto.
• Susanoo-no-Mikoto mistook Ning Wangshu for a fallback arranged by the “old coots” and resolved to kill him to protect Lord Blood God's scheme.
• Ning Wangshu declared that he would kill Susanoo-no-Mikoto because he was a figure from the island nation's myths.
• Susanoo-no-Mikoto unleashed a sword strike with immortal force stronger than Ning Wangshu could wield, but Ning Wangshu blocked it with the Qiankun Treasure Mirror.
• Susanoo-no-Mikoto recognized that Ning Wangshu had only recently become an immortal, then hurled his immortal sword and cast an incantation to attack again.

Ning Wangshu used Law of Heaven and Earth to withstand Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s superior Immortal Force, then sealed his Solar True Fire-infused Immortal Sword in a formation. Susanoo-no-Mikoto attacked him at close range, and Ning Wangshu answered by unleashing his Wizard Force and growing even larger.

• Ning Wangshu manifested Law of Heaven and Earth, raising his Immortal Force and clashing with Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s Immortal Sword as people across Kyoto witnessed his giant form.
• Susanoo-no-Mikoto ignited the Immortal Sword with a wisp of Solar True Fire, transforming it into a Three-legged Golden Crow that charged Ning Wangshu.
• Ning Wangshu used his formation arts to seal the Three-legged Golden Crow and sever Susanoo-no-Mikoto’s connection to the Immortal Sword.

• Ning Wangshu put away the Qiankun Treasure Mirror, stirred his Wizard Force, and expanded into an even larger, bronze-skinned form.
