Sikong Jing calmly corrected Ling Zhe’s account of the Dark Demon Small World, enraging him enough to send Sikong Jing deeper into the cavern, where the dead spirits of the Divine Lord Stage awaited.

• Black Tiger contacted Yu Xianpo and Sikong Ling, while Sikong Jing’s Demon Rat body prompted him to reveal his secret to Yu Xianpo to prevent a fight.

• Enraged by Sikong Jing’s defiance, Ling Zhe decided to send him deeper into the cavern, where the dead spirits of the Divine Lord Stage were gathered.

Ling Zhe kept Sikong Jing trapped in the Dead Spirit Cavern and threatened to force Su’s marriage to Zhe Ying, while Sikong Jing searched for a way out. He discovered that his nether spirit evil aura could repel the weaker dead spirit aura and set out to explore deeper into the cavern.

• Ling Zhe moved Sikong Jing into the God Monarch Realm dead spirits’ area, then ordered Jing Hang to bring her disciple surnamed Su back from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall so he could marry her to Zhe Ying.

• Sikong Jing concluded that dead spirit aura was a weaker form of nether spirit evil aura and concealed the latter beneath the Burial Emperor Sword’s aura and the Nine Heavens Sword Dao.
• Protected from the dead spirits, Sikong Jing moved toward the quasi-Emperor dead spirit.

Sikong Jing entered the Emperor-level area of the Dead Spirit Cavern and discovered that many Emperor-level dead spirits were remnants of Spirit Race vassals, but none retained true consciousness. He then encountered the conscious disciple of the Mystic Jade Emperor, who recognized Sikong Jing as the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and believed he came from the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm.

• Sikong Jing reached the Emperor-level area and spotted Spirit Parrot suffering as Emperor-level dead spirits devoured her heart and soul.
• Sikong Jing observed that Emperor-level dead spirits included Spirit Race vassals betrayed by the Spirit Race, whose lingering consciousness repeated their resentment.

• The Mystic Jade Emperor's disciple sensed Sikong Jing's legendary strongest ferocious beast bloodline, believed him, and identified him as the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Sikong Jing learned from Emperor Danjiu, a fading disciple of Mystic Jade Emperor, that the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm’s seal also concealed the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ bloodline. Emperor Danjiu could not help Sikong Jing escape the Dead Spirit Cavern, but he warned him to keep his bloodline hidden from the Spirit Race.

• Sikong Jing told Emperor Danjiu that Mystic Jade Emperor was believed to have died in the Burial Emperor Tomb, and Emperor Danjiu grieved before asking about his master and the Spirit Seal Realm.
• Sikong Jing recounted his experiences, including being trapped in the Dead Spirit Cavern, and Emperor Danjiu condemned the Spirit Race.
• Emperor Danjiu explained that he was too weak to help Sikong Jing escape, though he could stun the Heroic Spirit Guards and pierce the passage to the Heroic Spirit Hall if Sikong Jing reached the Emperor Realm.
• Sikong Jing considered asking Spirit Parrot, who had reached the Emperor Realm, for help, then asked Emperor Danjiu why Mystic Jade Emperor had sought the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
• Emperor Danjiu remembered that the seal concealed the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts’ bloodline and warned Sikong Jing that the Spirit Race was involved and must not discover it.

Sikong Jing reached Spirit Parrot in the Dead Spirit Cavern and forced her to submit by shielding her from the dead spirits and threatening her with Nether Spirit evil qi. After binding her Spirit Platform with his sword qi, he prepared to lead her through the cavern and turned toward Emperor Danjiu's dead spirit body.

• Sikong Jing drove away the dead spirits tormenting Spirit Parrot, then let them swarm her again when she tried to attack him.

• Emperor Danjiu asked Sikong Jing to bury his dead spirit aura before his master's grave, then opened the passage and imitated Mystic Jade Emperor's aura and voice to distract the Heroic Spirit Guards.

• Spirit Parrot gave Sikong Jing Spirit Gull's essence blood, which he refined to take on a Spirit Race appearance and aura as he headed toward the site of Ling Zhe's collapsed Divine Spirit Island.
• A-Ruo and several dozen Spirit Race figures surrounded Sikong Jing, and he claimed he belonged to Lord Spirit Gull's branch and had been thrown there by the collapse.

Sikong Jing disguised himself as Chu Jin, a Spirit Gull descendant, and joined A-Ruo’s search-and-rescue team while the Spirit Race secretly sealed off the region to find him. At the Dead Spirit Gate, Ling Dao and the elders learned how Sikong Jing and Spirit Parrot had escaped, then blamed Ling Zhe for the Spirit Race’s humiliation.

• Sikong Jing used Spirit Parrot’s fabricated identity to claim he was Chu Jin, the adopted son of the fallen God Monarch Ou Chu, and A-Ruo recruited him for the rescue operation.
• Ling Dao ordered a vast region sealed, while Sikong Jing and Spirit Parrot realized the Spirit Race was hiding his escape rather than announcing it.

• At the Dead Spirit Gate, Ling Dao explained that Sikong Jing had escaped by awakening Dan Jiu’s consciousness and using Spirit Parrot to divert the Heroic Spirit Guards.
• Ling Long and the elders berated Ling Zhe for imprisoning Spirit Parrot and publicizing Sikong Jing’s imprisonment, while Ling Zhe blamed Sikong Jing for his own disgrace.

• Sikong Jing's Demon Rat body explained that he had split his soul into two bodies through Dual Spirit Shadows and apologized to Yu Xianpo for concealing his identity.

The demonic rat body learned that Sikong Jing’s true body had escaped Dead Spirit Cavern, and he devised a plan to fool the Spirit Race into lifting its blockade. Jinghang abducted Su Yuexi to force her into marrying Zhe Ying, while the demonic rat body and Yu Xianpo secretly followed.

Jinghang abducted Su Yuexi and brought her back toward Voyaging Heart Hall, hoping to save her branch from the Spirit Race. Meanwhile, Sikong Jing’s demon rat body disguised himself as Sikong Jing and headed for Voyaging Heart Hall to cause a major upheaval, while Jinghang and Su Yuexi remained at odds.
