Gu Xuanjin erased the Purgatory Blood Slaughter’s artifact spirit and approached Abyssal Blowing Snow, where he met the divine sense of the Gu Clan ancestor who had founded the sword tomb.

The young ancestor challenged him to prove he could wield Abyssal Blowing Snow, and Gu Xuanjin’s defiant claim prompted the ancestor to raise his cultivation to the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm.

• The young ancestor explained that a native of a newly discovered world possessed a Gu Clan junior and slaughtered members of the clan before Gu Clan Immortal Emperors killed him.

• The young ancestor warned Gu Xuanjin that Abyssal Blowing Snow was too powerful for him to use in ordinary battles and proposed a test with their cultivation matched at the Heaven-Reaching Realm Eighth Level.
• Gu Xuanjin claimed that the ancestor might not defeat him even at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, so the ancestor raised his cultivation to the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm and unleashed his sword intent.

• Gu Xuanjin ordered three Peak Quasi-Emperor assassins to target Qin Lingkong and sent Sha Star to intervene if anything went wrong.

• Qin Wusheng berated Lady Chen, lamenting the harm to Qin Hao and warning that Qin Lingkong’s branch would not accept the insult.

As they summoned the branch’s three Great Emperor ancestors, Qin Wusheng discovered that Qin Hao had already fled to the lower realms.

He threatened their entire branch and gave the three ancestors three days to decide, while the Heavenly Retribution Trio arrived at the battlefield between the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom.

• Qin Wusheng secretly searched for Qin Hao and summoned Qin Lingkong's three branch ancestors to the main Qin Clan.

• Qin Wusheng refused to surrender his wife or son and threatened the lives of everyone in Qin Lingkong's branch unless the three ancestors yielded within three days.
• Qin Wusheng and the five main-branch ancestors left the three trapped in the formation, while the Heavenly Retribution Trio arrived at the battlefield between the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom.

Qin Lingkong defended a wounded Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom general against two Great Qian Imperial Dynasty Quasi-Emperors, but three masked Peak Quasi-Emperor experts ambushed him. He was left gravely wounded and still trapped under the Ten Luminaries Heavenly Star Mirror’s seal.

• Qin Lingkong held off two Great Qian Imperial Dynasty Quasi-Emperors while protecting the wounded general behind him.
