• After the others departed, Black Tiger asked Sikong Jing whether his Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts bloodline had been harmed.

Sikong Jing explained that the Demon-Dispelling Pill still threatened his magic beast bloodline and proposed using its power to create the Pure Spirit Eighth Heart and Demonic Path Eightfold Body. He and Black Tiger resolved to strengthen the Ten Thousand Demon Hall in secret against the enemies behind the Ancient Ten Absolutes and the seals.

• Sikong Jing told Black Tiger that his Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts bloodline remained intact, but the Demon-Dispelling Pill’s lingering power would dissolve any magic beast bloodline that emerged.

• Sikong Jing told Black Tiger what Mystic Jade Emperor had revealed about the enemies who sealed the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm.

• Sikong Jing vowed to create the Pure Spirit Eighth Heart and record every ferocious beast Burial Emperor technique for the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, while keeping the enemy’s existence secret until they grew stronger.

Sikong Jing cultivated while the Ten Thousand Demon Hall sought evidence against the Ancient Ten Absolutes, and the demon rat body entered the Dark Demon Abyss to study the Nine Heavens Sword Traces. Meanwhile, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion and Hang Kui discussed the Absolute Beast Emperor’s disastrous actions and wondered who the Purple Qi Emperor was.

• The Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion and Hang Kui arrived at the Peerless Pill Pavilion and discussed Zong Zhanhao’s death and why Sikong Jing could not be used as a successor.

• Powerful experts from across the Vast Cosmos Great World gathered at the Peerless Pill Pavilion to prepare for the Twin Absolutes’ tombs.
• One month after the Swordwalk Small World opened, Sikong Jing heard the explanation from Black Tiger and laughed that he had become the supposed culprit who ruined the plan.

Sikong Jing predicted how Peerless Pill Pavilion would claim the Twin Absolutes and defuse suspicion by promising public access to their inheritances. As factions prepared to compete for the Five Absolutes’ power, Sikong Jing resolved to stop any new inheritor from being conquered, while a signal bead and the Dark Demon Realm Ring brought his nearly demonized Magic Rat body back.

• Sikong Jing predicted that Peerless Pill Pavilion and its allies would seize the Twin Absolutes’ spirit shadows and use their strength to silence opposition.

• Black Tiger received a shattered signal bead and used the Dark Demon Realm Ring to summon Sikong Jing’s nearly demonized Magic Rat body.

He sent the Magic Rat body back into the Dark Demon Small World to explore deeper restrictions while planning to conceal his Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts bloodline as a controllable Demon Vein.

• Sikong Jing's two bodies shared their memories, allowing the Pure Spirit Eighth Heart to stabilize the Magic Rat body's Beast-Form Spirit Shadow and the Magic Rat's Nine Heavens Sword insights to strengthen the main body.
• Sikong Jing completed the Pure Spirit Eighth Heart, and the Magic Rat body began cultivating the Burial Emperor's methods using the Nine Heavens Magic Beast will.

• The Sword Tiger Demon Emperor emerged and used the Demonic Path Sevenfold Body, while Darkbirth Hall’s leader attacked with a move designed to counter it.
• Sikong Jing called out, “Man and mount merge as one!”

Sikong Jing used the Sword Tiger Demon Emperor’s power and his own sword techniques to destroy Darkbirth Hall’s forces, then arranged for Spirit Parrot to kill the fleeing leader. He stored both allies in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and concluded that he needed to find a way to show others his demonic beast bloodline had returned.

• Sikong Jing stored Spirit Parrot and the Sword Tiger Demon Emperor in the Number One Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and resolved to find a chance to reveal his reborn demonic beast bloodline.

Sikong Jing hid his role in passing the ferocious beast’s Emperor-Burying methods to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, then evaded Yu Xiandeng, who had come with Yu Cang Qi to pursue him. Unable to contact Yu Xianpo across the heavens, Sikong Jing sent a signal and continued into the Second Heaven of Swordwalk.

• Sikong Jing sensed a powerful arrival and recognized the Divine Prison Tower as belonging to the Prison Race.

• Sikong Jing connected the two miracles to Han Lindong and Kuang Yanxia and decided to visit Sword Summer’s miracle.
• A caller announced that the Spirit Race, the Hundred Flowers Race, and four other factions were fighting over Sword Enlightenment Fragments at Tipping Cauldron Mountain.

Sikong Jing followed the crowd to Tipping Cauldron Mountain, where the Spirit Race and six allied factions were contesting a Sword Enlightenment Fragment through battles between their younger fighters. After learning the Spirit Race's champion Zhe Ying was tiring, Sikong Jing disguised himself as Ou Jin and approached A-Ruo among the mountain guards.

• Sikong Jing flew with the crowds from Divine Flame City to Tipping Cauldron Mountain after hearing a Sword Enlightenment Fragment had appeared.
• The Spirit Race blocked the mountain and killed an onlooker who challenged its control, while hidden voices mocked the Spirit Race over its losses in the Sword-Slaying Ruins.
• An Emperor Venerable formed a Light-Returning Mirror with the crowd's help, revealing that Zhe Ying and the Spirit Race's younger fighters were competing against the Hundred Flowers Race, Mojiang Hall, and four other factions for the fragment.
• Zhe Ying defeated Iron Staff Hall's genius but began to tire as a Mojiang Hall fighter challenged him, with Hua Baixiong still waiting to fight.
• Sikong Jing transformed his aura and appearance into those of Ou Jin, approached A-Ruo, and claimed he had never died.

Sikong Jing, disguised as Ou Jin, convinced A-Ruo he had missed the Sword-Slaying Ruins and followed her to the Spirit Race’s standoff over the Sword Enlightenment Fragments. When the Spirit Race seemed unable to win, he revealed his Divine Dao Stage strength and Heroic Spirit domain, earning permission to fight Mojiang Hall’s genius.

• Sikong Jing gave A-Ruo five Absolute Beast Pills and claimed he had stayed near Absolute Beast Mountain to cultivate instead of entering the Sword-Slaying Ruins.
• A-Ruo brought Ou Jin to the contest, where Mojiang Hall’s genius defeated Zhe Ying and the factions demanded the Sword Enlightenment Fragments.
• Sikong Jing stepped forward and challenged the opposing geniuses on behalf of the Spirit Race.
• Sikong Jing revealed his Divine Dao Stage cultivation, Beast-Slaying Halberd Dao, and Heroic Spirit domain, surprising Spirit Gull and the others.
• Ling E permitted Ou Jin to fight after the Mojiang Hall elder invited him to face Mo Sha, and Sikong Jing approached the genius who had defeated Zhe Ying.

Sikong Jing, disguised as Ou Jin, stunned the Spirit Race by nearly killing Mo Sha with one halberd strike. He then faced Hua Baixiong and unexpectedly gained the upper hand in a contest of halberd techniques.

• Mo Sha offered Ou Jin three moves, but Sikong Jing warned that he might lose control and kill him.

• Hua Baixiong challenged Ou Jin, claiming he would teach him the true Beast-Slaying Halberd Dao.
• Sikong Jing blocked Hua Baixiong's attacks and broke each of his halberd techniques, putting the Absolute Beast Main Hall genius at a disadvantage.

Ou Jin defeated Hua Baixiong and secured the Sword Enlightenment Fragment for the Spirit Race, then claimed it for himself as the Spirit Race’s number one genius. Ling E awarded it to him over Zhe Ying, revealing that he hoped to draw Ou Jin away from Ling Zhe’s direct line.

• A-Ruo and Ling E realized Ou Jin had produced five Absolute Beast Pills, while the six rival factions wondered whether the Spirit Race was rising again.
• Sikong Jing used his Heroic Spirit Domain and six Heroic Spirit phantoms to shatter Hua Baixiong’s Hundred Flowers Domain and defeat him.
• Ling E claimed the Sword Enlightenment Fragment after the Spirit Race won the contest, and the six factions left Tipping Cauldron Mountain.
• Zhe Ying thanked Ou Jin and implied that the fragment would belong to him, but Ou Jin claimed it for himself as the Spirit Race’s number one genius.
• Ling E awarded the fragment to Ou Jin and promised Zhe Ying the next one, believing he could recruit Ou Jin because he was not Ling Zhe’s direct disciple.

Sikong Jing tried to escape Ling E’s scrutiny after receiving the Sword Enlightenment Fragments, but Ling E moved to inspect his meridians and merge his bloodline into him. Sikong Jing faked an attempt by other factions to steal the fragments and fled underground, where Spirit Gull and other Spirit Race emperors pursued him.

• Ling E gave Sikong Jing the Sword Enlightenment Fragments and dismissed Zhe Ying’s demand to fight Ou Jin for them.
• Sikong Jing asked to comprehend the fragments in seclusion and persuaded Ling E to let Spirit Gull guard him instead.
• Ling E announced that he would inspect Sikong Jing’s meridians and merge his bloodline into him, raising Sikong Jing’s suspicion that his disguise might be exposed.
• Sikong Jing exploded a storage treasure, sent the fragments underground, and claimed the Hundred Flowers Race and five other factions had tampered with them.
• Ling E ordered Spirit Gull to protect Ou Jin and recover the fragments while the Spirit Race deployed formations across Tipping Cauldron Mountain.
• Sikong Jing evaded Ling E’s attention underground, then released the Sword Tiger Demon Emperor as Spirit Gull and other emperors caught up to him.

Sikong Jing used Sword Tiger and Spirit Parrot to mislead the Spirit Race pursuers while escaping Tipping Cauldron Mountain with the Sword Enlightenment Fragments. He got outside despite Ling E sealing the mountain and left with Spirit Parrot for the Sword Summer Miracle, as his Ou Jin identity neared exposure.

• Sword Tiger’s demonic power disrupted the underground, and Sikong Jing used Spirit Parrot’s false Ou Jin aura to lead Spirit Gull and the others away while he moved toward the mountain’s exit.
• Sikong Jing staged another burst of Sword Tiger’s power, splitting Ling Gui’s and Spirit Gull’s pursuit before Spirit Parrot and Sikong Jing reunited.
• Ling E completed an Army-Slaying Formation that sealed Tipping Cauldron Mountain, so Sikong Jing had Spirit Parrot connect to it and walk out while he switched into the first Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison.
• Spirit Parrot blended into the crowd outside, and Sikong Jing emerged beside her after escaping the mountain with the Sword Enlightenment Fragments.
• Sikong Jing rejected Spirit Parrot’s wish to confront Spirit Gull and left with her for the Sword Summer Miracle.
