• On the third day of Sikong Jing’s wait, battlefield Yin spirits poured from the rupture and rushed toward Elder Gong’s ship.

Sikong Jing revealed his ambush against Elder Gong’s ship by using his Humanoid Fierce Beast clone and the Snow-Tempered Sword to unleash the Yin Spirits from the breach. As the clone lured the raging horde toward the retreating ship, the chapter left unexplained how Sikong Jing’s true body survived at the breach.

Sikong Jing lured the battlefield yin spirits into destroying Elder Gong’s cosmos ship, but Elder Gong and Mu Bujun’s spirit shadow ambushed him and dragged him into the Burial Emperor Battlefield.

• The old Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts told Sikong Jing that the Nine Heavens Emperor had left the demonic soul and training method as part of her experiments, but had left no message about how people from the Primordial Cosmos obtained her essence blood.
• After three days without word from the forbidden ground, Yu Xiweng and Ling Qiuyuan discussed the coming arrival of the Aurora Divine Maiden and the danger to their clans.

• Ling Qiuyuan recognized Liu Duoye’s purer Spirit Race bloodline and led Sikong Jing and Liu Duoye to the Spirit Willow Clan’s forbidden ground.
• Sikong Jing showed Liu Duoye the Spirit Root Divine Willow fragment, where death contamination was consuming its life-filled side.
• Liu Duoye entered the contaminated area and began purifying the fragment, while Sikong Jing cultivated nearby and refined the Nine Heavens Magic Beast’s demonic soul.

Sikong Jing exposed Ling Chuju as an Aurora Human Race spy whose altered bloodline made her vulnerable to his life force, and the Spirit Willow Clan subdued her. Unbeknownst to them, Ling Chuju had already sent a key to the Aurora Divine Lord, who gave it to the Zither Sword Maiden to dispatch twelve women to the Spirit Willow Clan.

• Ling Chuju introduced herself as Sikong Jing’s senior sister, but Sikong Jing sensed the Aurora scent on her and warned Ling Qiuyuan.
