• Qin Sheng asked whether the Primordial Myriad Clans intended to become enemies with Shaking Light Holy Land.

• Qin Sheng appeared at the Sun God Chariot, killed Lan Yu, and challenged the Ancient Emperor Clans, which said they would not join the Blue Demon Clan’s dispute.

Qin Sheng and the others discovered King Jin’s Quasi-Emperor Immortal Statue and uncovered his failed attempt to break through using the Eight Paths and Ninth Domain.

• A green-haired corpse emerged from the Black Wood Coffin, activated the Bright Sun Refining Universe Formation Banner, and began killing Ancient Clan Kings.
• Duan De gave Qin Sheng King Jin’s Seal, and Qin Sheng placed it atop the formation banner, sealed King Jin in the coffin, and took the banner for himself.

Qin Sheng obtained King Jin’s Great Saint Weapon and negotiated with Divine Silkworm Ridge to help it claim the Longevity Wood Coffin in exchange for benefits to the Shaking Light Holy Land.
