Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor asked Sikong Jing to help remove Absolute Spirit Emperor’s lingering power from his Spirit Platform consciousness sea. Sikong Jing entered to investigate, but Green Leaf turned against him and trapped his spirit shadow power.
Green Leaf and Snow Venerable trapped Sikong Jing and revealed that the Absolute Spirit Emperor's phantom had bound his soul, leaving him unable to escape or die. Sikong Jing claimed he could remove the phantom, and the Absolute Spirit Emperor recognized a tenth-grade yin spirit within Green Leaf's consciousness.
Sikong Jing used tenth-grade Yin Spirits to attack the Absolute Spirit Emperor’s phantom inside Green Leaf’s spirit platform, then revealed Mystic Jade Emperor’s phantom within himself. Mystic Jade’s power overwhelmed Snow Venerable, while Green Leaf hesitated and the Absolute Spirit Emperor’s phantom warned him to flee.
Sikong Jing defeated Snow Venerable, but Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor escaped with her ship, leaving Sikong unable to pursue him without exhausting the Mystic Jade Spirit Shadow. As Sikong returned to the Spirit Seal Realm and cultivated, Green Leaf and Absolute Spirit planned to seek Spirit Willow Fragments that might help awaken Absolute Spirit’s true body.
Flame Prison used Yan Wang’s formation key to hide inside the Flame Clan Giant Tomb Cluster and undergo his Sixth Tribulation, while the Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow and his pursuers failed to break through the formation. The pursuers eventually considered giving up, leaving Flame Prison’s fate unresolved.
Sikong Jing encountered Yan Wang’s failing spirit shadow, learned that Flame Prison had betrayed the Spirit Seal Realm, and headed toward the Flame Clan tomb complex. Flame Prison emerged as a Six-Tribulation Emperor Exalted and challenged Tian Wuan and Shan Qiansu’s support for his rule, ending with him summoning the Flame Clan ancestors after Tian Wuan called him unworthy.
Yan Yu manipulated the Flame Clan ancestors’ spirit shadows into backing him, while Yan Yun attacked Tian Wuan and demanded that the others submit to Flame Prison or leave. The Demonic-Form Spirit Shadow realized that Yan Yun and Flame Prison had suppressed the other ancestors’ minds.
Sikong Jing learned why Emperor Yan Yun opposed the Vast Cosmos and confronted her as the Eternal Night Wolf King began its tribulation. Yan Yun’s controlled Flame Clan spirit shadows started resisting her, but Flame Prison defended her before she could answer Sikong Jing.
Sikong Jing exposed Flame Prison for harboring Golden Bright Emperor, forcing the Flame Clan ancestors to uncover him. After Flame Prison killed Golden Bright Emperor to silence him, Sikong Jing proposed a fair competition for control of the Spirit Seal Realm and began crossing a Burial Emperor Tribulation.
Sikong Jing merged with the Eternal Night Wolf King and intervened in the wolf king’s Burial Emperor Tribulation, drawing a five-tribulation storm as he sought to break through to the Three-Tribulation Emperor Venerable realm. He cut apart the tribulation in an instant, leaving Flame Prison and the gathered witnesses stunned.
Sikong Jing shattered the Eternal Night Wolf King's and Dark Wing Divine Eagle's Burial Emperor Tribulations, gaining Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy that strengthened foundations and revealed insights into the Great Dao. After helping the other peak Three-Tribulation beasts break through, he advanced both dantians to the Three-Tribulation Emperor Venerable realm and declared that his fair competition with Flame Prison could begin.
Sikong Jing exposed himself as the new Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and used that authority to confront Flame Prison over his alleged collusion with the Primordial Cosmos Great World. The Flame Clan ancestors stopped Yan Yun from attacking him and greeted him as their lord.
Sikong Jing exposed Flame Prison’s betrayal of the Vast Cosmos and defeated him, while the Flame Clan ancestors restrained Yan Yun’s spirit shadow. After the battle, Sikong Jing secured the Flame Clan’s future and took the Heaven Emperor Palace troops prisoner.
Sikong Jing led the Heaven-Swallowing Tiger King, Ten Thousand Seas Divine Turtle, and Golden Dragon Wuhai through increasingly dangerous Six-Tribulation Burial Emperor Tribulations. After the King of Night Charms absorbed its three reincarnation bodies, Sikong Jing agreed to join its tribulation despite sensing a warning that he was defying the rules.
The Burial Emperor Tribulation separated Sikong Jing from the King of Night Charms and forced them to face separate six-tribulation calamities. Both survived, while Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor found a Spirit Willow Fragment and began restoring its vitality for Absolute Spirit Emperor.
Sikong Jing returned toward the Spirit Seal Realm after surviving a six-tribulation ordeal, while he and the Beast Venerables considered the Burial Emperor Tribulation’s hidden rules. Before entering seclusion, he controlled the Zither Sword Maiden and learned how the Nine Heavens Essence Blood had been discovered.
Sikong Jing learned how the Nine Heavens Alliance arose and feared its expansion would bring a devastating invasion of the Vast Cosmos. As he hurried toward the Spirit Seal Realm’s seal, Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor entered it after demanding that Sikong Jing come quickly for a heaven-shaking surprise.
Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor used a Spirit Willow Fragment to awaken Absolute Spirit Emperor’s true body while preparing to betray the phantom and flee through a Purple Night Mystic Jade. When Sikong Jing confronted him, Absolute Spirit’s phantom announced that its true body had awakened.
Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor destroyed Absolute Spirit’s phantom and used the Purple Night Mystic Jade to ascend through the seal, hoping to win the awakened Absolute Spirit Emperor’s trust. When the Heroic Spirit Guards moved to repel him, Absolute Spirit Emperor ordered them to let Green Leaf pass, leaving Sikong Jing and his allies facing the threat of his arrival in the Vast Cosmos Great World.
Sikong Jing risked ascending through the purple vortex to stop Green Leaf Heavenly Emperor, using his Beast Heart Body while his true body remained inside the new Purple Night Mystic Jade. He forced Green Leaf back down, then confronted Absolute Spirit Emperor as he prepared to enter the Vast Universe again.
Sikong Jing used his Beast Heart Body to distract Absolute Spirit Emperor while his true body entered the Vast Cosmos Great World through Purple Night Mystic Jade. In the Spirit Seal Realm, his forces captured the Five Heavenly Emperors, while the Spirit Race learned that Absolute Spirit Emperor had awakened.
The Spirit Race Emperor Venerables went to the Heroic Spirit Hall, where Absolute Spirit Emperor confronted Hanyu, the new generation’s Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. Hanyu’s Beast Heart Body self-destructed and revealed that the complete Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts remained in the Spirit Seal Realm.
Sikong Jing escaped Heroic Spirit Hall by using the New Purple Night Mystic Jade and the Beast Heart Body to deceive Absolute Spirit Emperor. After the jade reached Spirit Gull, Sikong Jing evaded Absolute Sword Emperor's detection and prepared to revisit an old place.
Sikong Jing used the Purple Night Mystic Jade to reach Spirit Gull and forced her to reveal the Anti-Seal Faction’s situation and the Ten Absolutes’ secrets. Meanwhile, the Absolute Spirit Emperor warned the Absolute Sword Emperor that something major was happening in the Spirit Seal Realm, but the Ten Absolutes could not go there themselves.
The Absolutes gathered after the Absolute Spirit Emperor awakened and concluded that the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was strengthening the Spirit Seal Realm, though they still had no way to enter it. After Hai Yuan was captured and Zhe Ying was sentenced to a brutal death, Sikong Jing woke from his recovery and asked Ling Ou what order he had received.
