In Divine Shaman City, he learned that signal pearls had stopped working, leaving him afraid that Yu Xianpo and the Feather Transformation Emperor did not know he had entered the Swordwalk Small World.

• Sikong Jing found that the fragment had revealed only the Absolute Sword’s entry stage, so he put it away and went to gather more information.
• Sikong Jing heard cries outside and saw the Demon-Slaying Young Master hovering above Divine Shaman City with guards and a strange mirror.

• Hang Qusha activated the Sword Clan Cosmos Mirror, and its aura led him to Sikong Jing at an inn in Divine Shaman City.

A black-robed powerhouse revealed that Sikong Jing had concealed his Sword Clan aura with the Absolute Sword, leaving Hang Qusha stunned.

• Sikong Jing refused to merge rider and beast with the Sword Tiger Demon Emperor because it would expose his connection to the Burial Emperor methods and endanger the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

Sikong Jing used War Puppets and Absolute Sword to evade the black-robed expert and the Sword Clan Cosmos Mirror while Beast Venerable Hall sealed Divine Shaman City. He ambushed and killed the Eternal Night Female Wolf King, then swallowed its core in front of his pursuers.

Sikong Jing used a staged beast fusion and a false threat to distract the Demon-Slaying Hall and Beast Venerable Hall, then escaped Divine Shaman City disguised as a little demon wolf. After evading their Cosmos Mirror pursuit, he doubled back toward the city while Hang Qusha and the others chased in the wrong direction.

• Sikong Jing fled back toward Divine Shaman City while Hang Qusha and the others pursued in the opposite direction, until the black-robed expert realized where he was headed.

Sikong Jing repeatedly evaded the Demon-Slaying Hall and Beast Venerable Hall but realized he could not escape the Sword Clan Cosmos Mirror indefinitely. He raced toward the Sword Witch Miracle hoping its Sword Clan aura would disrupt the lock-on, but as pursuers closed in, the tornado remained around him.

• Sikong Jing studied the colossal Sword Witch Miracle as Hang Qusha drew close, but the Cosmos Mirror's tornado still tracked him.

Cornered at the Sword Witch Miracle, Sikong Jing learned that the Absolute Sword and Sword Clan powers were mortal enemies, then provoked the Miracle with his Absolute Sword intent. The Miracle erupted in a violent attack that struck Sikong Jing and the forces surrounding him.

Sikong Jing survived the Sword Witch Miracle’s attack by using the Sword Extinction Emperor’s power, while the miracle continued to target those with Absolute Slaying power. After Hang Qusha sent Purple Lion’s deputy hall master after him, Sikong Jing escaped into the Beast Venerable Hall’s horde, and the Sword Clan Cosmos Mirror filled the area with the Sword Clan’s slaughtering power.

• The Sword Witch Miracle halted its attack on Sikong Jing when he switched to Jian Xia and Jian Dong’s sword powers, then resumed targeting him after declaring that Absolute Sword must die.
• Sikong Jing stopped the heavy sword radiance with the Sword Extinction Imperial Bloodline and explained that the Absolute Sword path was only a form of power, after which the radiance shattered.
• The Sword Witch Miracle attacked Hang Qusha and the others, forcing the black-robed powerhouse and Purple Lion’s deputy hall master to retreat beyond its range.

• Hang Qusha threw the Sword Clan Cosmos Mirror to Purple Lion’s deputy hall master, who activated it and filled the Sword Witch Miracle’s range with the Sword Clan’s aura.

Sikong Jing escaped the Sword Witch Miracle after it seized Purple Lion Deputy Hall Master's Sword Enlightenment Fragment and sent it to him. He set out for the Prison Blazing Sword Sea to search for Yu Xianpo's message and began using two fragments to deepen his Absolute Sword path, while Hang Qusha and Hang Kui questioned how he had gained that power.

Sikong Jing survived the conflicting sword powers and cultivated Absolute Sword Qi, leaving the Celestial Race and other factions preparing to investigate Heaven Sword Cloud Sea.

Sikong Jing discovered that the Heaven Sword Cloud Sea and its islands had been emptied by a massacre, including the Celestial Race outpost on Heavenly Flow Island.
