As the Absolute Pill Emperor attacked the Anti-Seal Faction, Absolute Battle Emperor and the Purple Extreme Heavenly Demon Lion sowed doubt among the demon army by claiming the Shadow Moon Demon Rat was dead. A black-clothed youth appeared atop Black Tiger and claimed to be the Ten Thousand Demon Young Master, but Absolute Sword Emperor accused him of being Sikong Jing in disguise.

• Sikong Jing sensed that the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall resonated with his life martial path and blocked the Absolute Pill Emperor’s destructive power.

• Liu Shun told them the Willow Race legend that the Spirit Root Divine Willow once nurtured the Spirit Race, which was said to have been the Vast Cosmos Great World’s foremost supreme race.
• Sikong Jing speculated that the Ancient Ten Absolutes had destroyed the willow and weakened the Spirit Race, then asked to take the Spirit Root Divine Willow with him.

Sikong Jing left the Spirit Seal Realm for the Dark Demon Small World with the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall, while the Anti-Seal Faction prepared its next move. The Absolute Pill Emperor resolved to activate the Ten Absolutes’ rebirth plan and destroy the Dark Demon Small World if Sikong Jing grew too powerful there.

• Sikong Jing stored the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall in the First Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison, bid farewell to his allies, and entered the Dark Demon Small World.

• Absolute Beast Emperor chose Yu Cangmeng as his intended vessel, while Absolute Sword Emperor chose Hai Yuan.

• Sikong Jing meditated beside the sapling to deepen his understanding of vitality, then decided to continue the sixth-layer Nine Heavens Restriction trial.
• Sikong Jing placed Liu Duoye and Qianyuan War Emperor’s coffins inside the Sacred Wall Gate and shattered the Divine Martial Shadow Pearl, releasing Gan Wumie.

Sikong Jing resurrected Gan Wumie and assigned him to guard the First Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison while he entered the sixth layer of the Nine Heavens Restriction to cultivate. After receiving news that the Anti-Seal Faction had escaped pursuit, he completed the sixth-layer Magic Beast trial and returned to the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword trial.

• Sikong Jing told Gan Wumie that he had reached the Divine Lord Stage, then resurrected him using essence blood from Tian Wuan and two other captives.

• Sikong Jing received Su Yuexi’s signal that the Anti-Seal Faction had escaped the Ancient Ten Absolutes and was heading to the Eastern Heaven Dragon God Domain.
• Sikong Jing endured the sixth-layer Nine Heavens Magic Beast trial, then returned to the Nine Heavens Emperor’s illusionary trial.

Sikong Jing completed the sixth layer of the Nine Heavens Restriction, then paused to cultivate before entering the seventh layer. The Anti-Seal Faction seized the Eastern Heaven Dragon God Domain, while Sikong Jing faced a trial requiring him to cultivate two inheritances at once.

• Sikong Jing realized the sixth layer demanded repeated switching between the Nine Heavens Sword Dao and the magic beasts’ trials, and continued his cultivation.
• Over the following months, Sikong Jing received signals that the Anti-Seal Faction had stabilized the Sea Clan, gained support from half the Celestial Race, and still could not safely leave the Dark Demon Small World.
• Sikong Jing completed the sixth layer after more than a year, then checked on the Spirit Root Divine Willow and discovered vitality flowing into Liu Duoye’s corpse without signs of revival.
• After three months of cultivating beside the clear spring, Sikong Jing learned the Anti-Seal Faction had taken the Eastern Heaven Dragon God Domain and entered the seventh layer.
• Sikong Jing began cultivating the Nine Heavens Emperor’s and Nine Heavens Magic Beast’s inheritances simultaneously and found he had to keep their powers balanced.

Sikong Jing endured the seventh-level trial, balancing the Nine Heavens Sword Dao against the Nine Heavens Magic Beast’s demonic power until he broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm and successfully severed the beast’s demonic nature. He completed the level and learned that ten years had passed while he was inside, finding Gan Wumie and the Spirit Root Divine Willow both aged and withered.

• Sikong Jing used the Nine Heavens Emperor’s shifting illusion to destroy the demonic nature of the Nine Heavens Magic Beast, completing the seventh level.
• Sikong Jing saw the restored Six-Horned Puppy form grow indistinct, then realized the Nine Heavens Emperor had never known what it would look like as an adult.
• Sikong Jing entered the First Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and found the Spirit Root Divine Willow withered back into the Willow Leaf Sacred Wall.
• Gan Wumie told Sikong Jing that ten years had passed and asked why he had ignored the signal bead he crushed years earlier.

After checking on his allies and the Spirit Root Divine Willow, he entered the eighth level, where the sword spirit Snowforge told him to go to the Burial Emperor Tomb and reach Emperor Venerable.

• Gan Wumie told Sikong Jing that the demonic energy had nearly killed him and badly weakened the Spirit Root Divine Willow.

• Liu Duoye thanked Sikong Jing for bringing her back to life and asked about her realm, the passing years, and Su Yuexian.
• Sikong Jing checked the signal bead and life lamps, then concluded that the Anti-Seal Faction remained in the Eastern Heaven Dragon God Domain and his loved ones were alive.
• Sikong Jing invited the Magic Beast sword spirit to join him, but it refused because it had to guide the experiment until he passed all nine restrictions.
• Sikong Jing entered the eighth level, where Snowforge appeared and gave him a white sword, saying she would accompany him to the Burial Emperor Tomb until he reached Emperor Venerable.

Sikong Jing received the Snow-Tempered Divine Sword’s warning that resurrection could cost him his memories, then entered the Burial Emperor Tomb and signaled Su Yuexi. In the twelfth year after his departure, the Spirit Seal Realm celebrated a new Emperor Venerable, but the Anti-Seal Faction faced a renewed threat when the Absolute Beast Emperor revealed he had possessed Yu Cangmeng.

• The Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit told Sikong Jing she would reconstruct him if he died, though he might lose his memories or cease to be himself.
• The Snow-Tempered Divine Sword carried Sikong Jing through the eighth-layer restriction into a passage toward the Burial Emperor Tomb, and he crushed a signal pearl for Su Yuexi.
• Twelve years after Sikong Jing left, the Flying Cloud Colorful Butterfly broke through to the Emperor Venerable realm as Yao Yulou and others watched.
• Su Yuexi arrived and told Chen Lusheng and Wen Xuanwu that Sikong Jing had entered the Burial Emperor Tomb.

• Wen Xuanwu urged the Anti-Seal Faction to defend the Eastern Heaven Dragon God Domain until Sikong Jing could help attack the Spirit Race's Heroic Spirit Hall.
• Su Yuexi told Yu Xianpo that Sikong Jing had returned to the Burial Emperor Tomb, and Yu Xianpo's Sword Qi surged as he held on to the Sword Enlightenment Fragments.
• Chen Lusheng warned the others that Sikong Jing must not be held back, while Su Yuexi resolved to rally more of the Demon Race and worried about the dangers he faced.
• After several days of flight, Sikong Jing emerged from the Dark Demon Small World into the third turn of the Burial Emperor Nine-Turn Hall, surrounded by Fire Evil Spirits.
• The Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit explained that the Nine Heavens Emperor had placed the Fire Evil Spirits to conceal the entrance to the using demons to restrain demons experiment.
• The Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit told Sikong Jing that his first trial was to escape the region by using the Nine Heavens Sword Dao to frighten away its Yin Spirit creatures.

Sikong Jing discovered that Tian Wuan, Shan Qiansu, and Xue Lin had triggered the Burial Emperor Tribulation after entering the Burial Emperor Tomb. He used the deadly lightning and their Black Tortoise Divine Armor to force them to accept his control, and Shan Qiansu agreed first.

• Sikong Jing recognized the Dark Gold Thunder as a tribulation and realized it had targeted Tian Wuan, Shan Qiansu, and Xue Lin.
• Sikong Jing brought the three Seven-Tribulation Emperor Venerables out of the number-one Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Prison and explained that they faced at least four Burial Emperor Tribulations.
• Sikong Jing demanded that the three open their Spirit Platforms and seas of consciousness to his control in exchange for removing their Black Tortoise Divine Armor.
• Dark Gold lightning struck Tian Wuan, then Shan Qiansu and Xue Lin, while their armor prevented the first bolts from killing them.
• Shan Qiansu agreed to submit and opened his Spirit Platform consciousness sea, and Sikong Jing moved farther into the Fire Evil Spirits.

Sikong Jing captured fire evil spirits and used them to force Tian Wuan, Shan Qiansu, and Xue Lin out of the Nine Heavens Emperor’s dangerous trial grounds. After removing their Black Tortoise Divine Armor, he left them with a lethal threat inside their spirit platforms and seas of consciousness, preventing them from attacking him.

• Shan Qiansu, Tian Wuan, and Xue Lin secretly planned to kill Sikong Jing once he removed their Black Tortoise Divine Armor, while they endured the Mysterious Gold Lightning tribulation.
• Sikong Jing captured fire evil spirits with his Nine Heavens Sword Formation after learning they could threaten even powerful Emperor Venerables when placed inside their spirit platforms and seas of consciousness.
• Sikong Jing fought through fire evil spirits and Yin Beast Evil Shadows, repeatedly striking the three elders to drive them away from the Dark Demon entrance as their tribulations continued.
• Sikong Jing infused the elders’ spirit platforms and seas of consciousness with his sword qi, fire evil spirits, and Yin Beast Evil Shadows, then removed their Black Tortoise Divine Armor.
• Tian Wuan tried to attack Sikong Jing, but Shan Qiansu and Xue Lin stopped him when he realized the creatures inside him could kill him if Sikong Jing’s sword qi broke.

Sikong Jing waited for Tian Wuan and the other two to undergo their Burial Emperor Tribulations, then searched for a giant tomb whose soil might save the withering Spirit Root Divine Willow shoot. He told Liu Duoye about the changes in the world and her possible Spirit Race origins, and the chapter ended as he approached a dark mountain amid strangely shifting evil baleful gas.

• Sikong Jing learned from the Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit that the Burial Emperor Tribulations might take the three elders a long time, so he returned to temper his sword dao while they endured them.
• Sikong Jing found the Spirit Root Divine Willow shoot rapidly withering and told Liu Duoye that they needed to find ordinary soil to save it.
• Sikong Jing recounted recent events to Liu Duoye, explained the legends surrounding the Willow Race, and suggested she might be the founder of a new pure Spirit Race bloodline.
• Sikong Jing shared his understanding of vitality and left Liu Duoye cultivation techniques and secret manuals.
• Sikong Jing searched for six days, spotted a massive dark mountain that appeared to be a giant tomb, and noticed the surrounding evil baleful gas moving strangely as he approached.

Sikong Jing discovered that an Emperor Venerable from the Primordial Cosmos Great World had crossed the Burial Emperor Battlefield into the Vast Cosmos side of the Burial Emperor Tomb. He hid nearby to learn how they had crossed and whether they had reached the Spirit Seal Realm, as the group set out to explore a giant tomb.

• Sikong Jing sensed another being driving evil Killing Intent with Yin Spirit Evil Qi and hid himself in the currents.
• A Yin Spirit Evil Baleful ship arrived, and Sikong Jing recognized the middle-aged leader as an Emperor Venerable from the Primordial Cosmos Great World.
• A young armored man told his master that the Vast Cosmos Great World had been sealed by the Ten Absolutes Great Emperor, so no one from there could have reached the tomb.
• Sikong Jing realized the visitors had crossed the Burial Emperor Battlefield to reach the Vast Cosmos side and feared they could threaten the Spirit Seal Realm.
• The middle-aged Emperor Venerable led the group toward a giant tomb belonging to an Eight-Tribulation Emperor Venerable of the Vast Cosmos.

Sikong Jing watched a Primordial Cosmos force test the Yin Spirit Evil Qi and discovered that its members wielded the Nine Heavens Sword Dao. He suspected the Nine Heavens Emperor had crossed into the Primordial Cosmos and left behind a sword lineage, but the Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit could not confirm it.

• A young man suggested that the group leave the Divine Cosmos Ship to experience the Vast Cosmos's Yin Spirit Evil Qi, and the middle-aged Emperor agreed.
• The middle-aged Emperor put away the Divine Cosmos Ship, revealing hundreds of thousands of powerful subordinates, then formed a sword formation to shelter those who could no longer endure the Yin Spirit Evil Qi.
• Sikong Jing recognized the middle-aged Emperor's sword formation as carrying the aura of the Nine Heavens Emperor, and saw that all the subordinates wielded the Nine Heavens Sword Dao.
• Yin Spirit Evil Qi attacked the group, killing some members, driving others into the sword formation, and forcing the rest to resist with their sword Dao.
• Sikong Jing reasoned that the Nine Heavens Emperor might have crossed the Burial Emperor Battlefield into the Primordial Cosmos and passed down her sword Dao there.
• Sikong Jing asked the Snow-Tempered Sword Spirit about the Nine Heavens Emperor, but it said it did not know whether she had entered the Primordial Cosmos.

Sikong Jing decided to infiltrate the Primordial Cosmos Great World party to learn how its people crossed the Burial Emperor Battlefield and acquired the Nine Heavens Sword Dao. He disguised himself as a survivor who had broken through to quasi-Emperor after being torn apart by Yin Spirit Evil Qi, and the Emperor Venerable questioned him aboard the Divine Cosmos Ship.

• Sikong Jing watched the Primordial Cosmos group travel toward the colossal tomb after more than ten thousand people died in the Yin Spirit Evil Qi.
• Sikong Jing donned a dead soldier's armor and resolved to investigate the group's invasion, its knowledge of the Nine Heavens Sword Dao, and its route across the Burial Emperor Battlefield.
• Sikong Jing lowered his sword aura, covered himself in Yin Spirit Evil Qi, and altered his appearance to pose as a badly injured survivor.
• The middle-aged Emperor Venerable sensed Sikong Jing near the colossal tomb and pulled him aboard the Divine Cosmos Ship.
• The Emperor Venerable removed the Yin Spirit Evil Qi and asked Sikong Jing how his Nine Heavens Sword Dao had grown so strong and how he had survived.
• Sikong Jing claimed that he had gained insight, revived, and reached the quasi-Emperor Realm after his body was destroyed.

Sikong Jing was exposed as an intruder and left aboard the Divine Cosmos Ship under Fu Lun’s guard while Golden Bright Emperor and his forces entered Longfir Emperor’s tomb. The tomb’s defenses revealed signs that the Nine Heavens Emperor had left sword marks inside, and Sikong Jing faced interrogation as the expedition advanced.

• Mingzhu and Golden Bright Emperor saw through Sikong Jing’s claim of amnesia and questioned where he came from.
• Sikong Jing revealed the Absolute Sword Dao, and Golden Bright Emperor recognized that he was not from the Vast Cosmos Great World.
• Golden Bright Emperor ordered Fu Lun to interrogate Sikong Jing, then led Mingzhu and his forces to break into Longfir Emperor’s tomb.
• Longfir Emperor’s consciousness projection attacked the intruders, but Golden Bright Emperor inferred that the tomb held the Nine Heavens Emperor’s sword marks and pushed forward with the Army-Slaying Formation.
• Fu Lun warned Sikong Jing not to entertain fantasies and remained aboard the ship with his squad to guard him.
