• The man doubted Jun Yiyao’s denial and swept palm force around her to inspect her true qi and blood essence attributes.

A blue-clad expert from beyond Boundless Sea interrogated Jun Yiyao about the Nine Heavens Emperor and Sikong Jing, suspecting she knew where to find the Nine Heavens aura. He left to pursue Jiuxiao’s aura, while Jun Yiyao remained unaware of who had revealed it.

Jun Yiyao helped Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian escape, then warned the Seal Sovereign Empire of the threat from the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s forces. Sikong Jing reunited with his parents, but the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture cut them off with heavenly fire as their pursuer demanded that Sikong Jing surrender.

• Jun Yiyao let the middle-aged man in blue believe she had been defeated, and he left with the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture to pursue Sikong Ding and Ling Xiaotian.
• Jun Yiyao gathered the shattered Demonic Puppet fragments, worried about Sikong Jing and the danger the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor’s aid posed to the Seal Sovereign Empire, and sent a warning to His Majesty.
• Sikong Jing learned that one Demonic Puppet had been shattered and that a Yin-Yang Dual Extremes Realm human and beast were pursuing his parents; he decided to meet them head-on because there was no time to prepare a battlefield.

• Sikong Jing, the Demonic Puppets, and the Sea-Chasing King combined their attacks to resist the green-clad man's suction and save Sikong Ding and his wife.
• Sikong Ding told Sikong Jing that the enemy was likely sent by the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor and had been asking about Sikong Jing and the Nine Heavens inheritance.
• Sikong Jing led his family, the Sea-Chasing King, and the Demonic Puppets deeper underwater, hoping the seawater would weaken the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture.

• Sikong Jing said he had obtained the Nine Heavens essence blood from the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family's forbidden grounds, and the man identified him and asked what else Nine Heavens had given him.

Sikong Jing concealed his deepest inheritance while Yu Gou, a Green Leaf Palace general, ordered him to accompany him to Green Leaf Palace. Sikong Jing agreed under threat, then offered Yu Gou a gift and asked him to speak favorably to the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor.

• Yu Gou questioned Sikong Jing about the Nine Heavens legacy and sensed both his Nine Heavens and Heaven-Soaring Imperial Bloodlines.
• Sikong Jing revealed his human appearance and claimed the Nine Heavens Imperial Bloodline as the son of its inheritor, while hiding the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
• Yu Gou invited Sikong Jing and his father to Green Leaf Palace, but Sikong Jing tried to delay, citing the danger from the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom.
• Yu Gou threatened Sikong Jing's companions and aimed his finger-force at a Demonic Puppet, so Sikong Jing agreed to go with him.
• Sikong Jing asked Yu Gou's name, learned he was Azure Fire General Yu Gou, and offered him a small bottle in exchange for speaking well of him and his father to the Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor.

Sikong Jing offered Yu Gou quasi-Emperor beast blood essence to secure his cooperation before Yu Gou prepared to take him and Sikong Ding to Green Leaf Palace. The Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture reacted violently after consuming it, and Sikong Jing claimed Magic Beast bloodlust had tainted the essence as he entered the vulture to remove it.

• Sikong Jing gave Yu Gou a bottle of quasi-Emperor monster-beast blood essence, and Yu Gou promised to put in a good word for him.
• Yu Gou ordered Sikong Jing and Sikong Ding to accompany him, while refusing Ling Xiaotian's request to come along.
• Sikong Ding reminded Ling Xiaotian that Ling'er was waiting in the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land, and Sikong Jing promised his mother they would return.
• The Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture swallowed the blood essence and erupted in demonic smoke, prompting Yu Gou to accuse Sikong Jing of tampering with it.
• Sikong Jing blamed the reaction on Magic Beast blood essence contaminating the bottle and entered the vulture with his spirit shadow to search for the bloody aura.

Sikong Jing deceived Yu Gou, detonated one of his spirit shadows to make the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture fall into demonic corruption, and used its power to strike Yu Gou. He left the transformed Black-Feather Fire Demon Vulture to pursue Yu Gou while he escaped toward his family and the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.

• Sikong Jing detonated his Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow inside the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture, spreading the Magic Beast blood aura through its body and sending the spirit shadow's remaining power into its Spirit Platform.

• Sikong Jing, injured and unable to control the vulture for long, fled toward his parents and urged the beast to devour the strongest person present.
• The vulture transformed into the Black-Feather Fire Demon Vulture and pursued the wounded Yu Gou, who warned it to steady itself.

After half a day, the beast returned from its demonic state, and the wounded Yu Gou and the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture resolved to go to the Dark Sea Divine Wind Kingdom and attack Sikong Jing’s territory.

• Sikong Jing explained that he used a trace of the Nine Heavens Blood Devour Magic Beast’s essence-blood aura to make the Azure-Feather Fire God Vulture fall to demonhood, then ordered everyone to return to the Desolate Sea Forbidden Land.
