Chapter Summaries

Yun Xi suspected that the fragment tied his rebirth to the invasion of the Dou Qi Continent and resolved to find it while helping Xun'er grow stronger. As they searched the Demon Spirit Mountain Range for the Mysterious Yellow Flame, a powerful creature in the mountain’s core recognized Yun Xi, while Xun'er said she would follow him if he left the continent.

• Yun Xi destroyed a Tentacle Monster that emerged through a space rift and suspected that the fragment had caused both his rebirth and the invasion.
• Yun Xi warned Xun'er to avoid the Demon Spirit Mountain Range’s core, where he sensed a dangerous Plane Visitor, and she continued searching the outer region.
• A wounded humanoid creature in the core viewed Yun Xi’s image, recognized him, and unleashed an aura that crushed the surrounding corpses.
• After searching all day without finding the Mysterious Yellow Flame, Xun'er rested with Yun Xi in a cave.
• Yun Xi asked whether Xun'er would leave the Dou Qi Continent with him, and she answered that she wanted to be with him.

Xun'er broke through to Four Star Da Dou Shi and encountered Zhao Lei fleeing members of the Desire Immortal Sect. After killing their captain, Li Hai, she turned on Zhao Lei as another member of the sect.

• Xun'er absorbed the energy from the medicinal herbs Yun Xi had refined and advanced from Two Star to Four Star Da Dou Shi.
• Zhao Lei and four sect members chased each other toward Xun'er's cave, and Zhao Lei called for her help.
• Xun'er learned the pursuers belonged to the Desire Immortal Sect and blocked Li Hai from striking Zhao Lei.
• Li Hai identified himself as captain of the Desire Immortal Sect's Fourth Squad, and Xun'er killed him with the Golden Emperor Burning Flame.
• Xun'er frightened the remaining pursuers into fleeing, then confronted Zhao Lei and struck toward his forehead.

Xun'er learned about a Dou Zun ruin and set out to explore it, leaving Zhao Lei behind after he escaped. She jumped from the cliff where the ruins lay, while more than twenty Dou Wang-level figures arrived afterward.

• Zhao Lei told Xun'er that the Desire Immortal Sect planned to enter the Dou Zun ruins with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and revealed their scheme to obtain innocent young girls.
• Xun'er took the map and decided to visit the ruins, while Zhao Lei escaped and she let him go.
• Xun'er located the ruins near the Mountain Range Core and found several hundred people from different factions gathered at a cliff.
• After Yun Xi said the crowd had gone down, Xun'er leaped from the cliff.
• More than twenty sect pillars, all at least Dou Wang in strength, arrived from the forest after Xun'er jumped.

Xun'er entered an ancient ruin and followed Yun Xi's directions to a cave filled with puppets. When the puppets suddenly swarmed her, she fought back with Heavenly Flames and the Guardian Eight Trigrams Palm, but their endless numbers threatened to overwhelm her.

• Xun'er fell through a strange space and emerged before an ancient structure, which Yun Xi explained was an existing space turned into a residence.
• Xun'er entered the ruin's grand hall and followed Yun Xi's directions through its dark passages toward a place where medicinal pills were stored.
• Xun'er found a cavern filled with broken puppet parts and lifelike puppets lying in honeycomb-like pits.
• Xun'er sensed a hostile presence, then discovered that puppets had crawled across the walls, floor, and ceiling to surround her.
• Xun'er used Heavenly Flames and the Guardian Eight Trigrams Palm to fight the swarming puppets, but their overwhelming numbers continued to press her.

Xun'er defeated the puppets in the cave, uncovered the hidden treasure in the pill hall, and found an ancient scroll called the Eight Desolations Body Forging Art. The chapter left her with the scroll after she collected the hall’s pills.

• Xun'er used Burning Heaven Armor and the Ancient Halberd’s energy to drive back the puppets, then confronted the black-robed man controlling them.
• The black-robed man revealed Dou Huang-level strength but vanished, claiming he was headed to the main hall to search for an Earth-Rank Middle-Level Dou Skill.
• Xun'er entered the pill hall and collected sixteen Five-Rank Pills, ten Six-Rank Pills, and four Seven-Rank Pills.
• Yun Xi told Xun'er to use her soul power to link and shatter the four crystal spheres, causing the hall to reveal a golden box.
• Xun'er opened the box and found a scroll titled Eight Desolations Body Forging Art.

Xun'er found the Eight Desolations Body Forging Art, a method that could give Yun Xi a physical body, but they still needed a Grade Eight Yin Yang Life Renewal Pill. After deciding to seek help from Pill Tower, Xun'er continued through the ruins and reached a weapon hall where two groups were contesting three unusual weapons.

• Xun'er read the Eight Desolations Body Forging Art and learned what materials its body-forging method required.
• Yun Xi realized that obtaining a Grade Eight Yin Yang Life Renewal Pill was their main obstacle and refused Xun'er's suggestion to ask Gu Yuan for help.
• Xun'er proposed Pill Tower as a place that might have the pill formula and an alchemist capable of refining it.
• Yun Xi decided they would go to Pill Tower after obtaining the Heavenly Flames, and Xun'er continued deeper into the ruins.
• Xun'er reached the tomb owner's weapon hall, where two groups faced off over a saber, a sword, and a spear.

Xun'er disguised herself and approached a confrontation between the Desire Immortal Sect, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and unaffiliated treasure hunters. After the sects pretended to agree to share three weapons, they ambushed Mu Chuan as he reached for the spear, leaving his group at their mercy.

• Xun'er recognized the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and the Desire Immortal Sect, concealed her appearance, and approached their dispute over three weapons.
• Lin Feng overpowered Liu Jiang, and Mu Chuan urged his outnumbered group to negotiate rather than fight.
• Mu Chuan proposed that each faction take one of the three weapons, and Lin Feng and Huang Sha agreed.
• Mu Chuan reached for the long spear, but Lin Feng and Huang Sha attacked and sent him crashing into the crowd.
• Lin Feng mocked the wounded Mu Chuan as his companions took battle stances to protect him.

Lin Feng and Huang Sha defeated Mu Chuan’s group, took their storage rings, and then attacked them as they tried to leave. As Mu Chuan fought back desperately, Xun’er and Yun Xi prepared to claim the spoils, but a voice from outside the hall announced that others had come to do the same.

• Lin Feng took the weapons from the ruins and demanded Mu Chuan’s group hand over their storage rings.
• Luo Chuan and the other cultivators fought Lin Feng and Huang Sha’s forces, while Xun’er and Yun Xi watched and waited for both sides to weaken.
• Mu Chuan’s group lost, and Mu Chuan surrendered his storage ring to Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng demanded the rest of the rings, then attacked Mu Chuan’s group with Huang Sha as they turned to leave, killing Liu Jiang.
• Mu Chuan launched a desperate counterattack, and an unknown voice from outside the hall declared that they had waited to claim the spoils.

The Yun Xian Sect intervened when Lin Feng and Huang Sha were robbing survivors in the weapon hall, forcing them to surrender their storage rings and treasures. Though Qin Hao presented himself as a righteous rescuer, Yun Xi warned Xun'er that the sect was no better than the others, and Qin Hao secretly sent Ge Yong to kill the survivors as they fled.

• Qin Hao and the Yun Xian Sect arrived and pressured Lin Feng and Huang Sha to return the survivors’ storage rings and hand over their treasures.
• Lin Feng and Huang Sha surrendered their weapons and storage rings, and the crowd praised Qin Hao for his apparent righteousness.
• Qin Hao ordered Xiao Han to inspect and return the rings, then privately told Ge Yong to kill the survivors and recover their rings.
• Qin Hao directed Mu Chuan and the other survivors toward an exit cave, while Ge Yong went ahead to lie in wait.
• Yun Xi asked Xun'er whether the survivors would escape, and Xun'er pointed out that Ge Yong’s ambush showed the Yun Xian Sect had no intention of letting them go.

Xun'er and the others discovered that the Yun Xian Sect had lured them into a trap to steal their storage rings and kill them. As the Yun Xian Extinction Array drained everyone’s Dou Qi, Xun'er shattered it with a flick of her finger and confronted the five sect members.

• Yun Xi warned Xun'er that the Yun Xian Sect had hidden an Eight Star Da Dou Shi in the cave to ambush them, and Xun'er realized Qin Hao's group had concealed their intentions.
• A scream came from the passage, and Ge Yong returned bloodied with a handful of storage rings taken from those who had entered earlier.
• Qin Hao and the Yun Xian Sect trapped the crowd in the Yun Xian Extinction Array, which absorbed their Dou Qi, and Qin Hao admitted they wanted their storage rings.
• The trapped people attacked the array but exhausted themselves, leaving Xun'er as the only one still standing.
• Xun'er shattered the array with a flick of her finger, then asked the five Yun Xian Sect members if they had any last words.

Xun'er shattered the formation and fought Qin Hao and his four companions, shrugging off their attacks with her Bone Chilling Heavenly Flame Armor and overpowering several of them. As Qin Hao charged again, Xun'er vanished and a scream for help came from behind him.

• Xun'er broke the formation, and Qin Hao claimed she had used a treasure before leading the others in an attack.
• Xun'er used her Bone Chilling Heavenly Flame Armor to withstand the five attacks and knocked the Nine Star Dou Shi into a boulder with one palm.
• Qin Hao and Ge Yong attacked Xun'er together, while the other two tried to strike her from the side; Xun'er repelled the pair with Swallow Counterattack.
• Xun'er sent eight palm strikes at the group and then defeated the two men at close range with another eight palms.
• Qin Hao activated his Dou Qi Armor and charged at Xun'er, who vanished just before their attacks met; someone behind him screamed for him to help.

Xun'er defeated Qin Hao and the Yun Xian Sect fighters, recovered her strength, and gathered the spoils. After avenging Mu Chuan and his companions and sealing their bloodied passage, she continued through the weapons hall toward the main hall.

• Xun'er defeated Qin Hao in a clash of fist and sword, though both were injured, and found the Yun Xian Sect fighters and treasure-seeking adventurers incapacitated in the ruined hall.
• Yun Xi praised Xun'er, who recovered with a Five-Rank Pill and advanced from a Four Star Da Dou Shi to a Five Star Da Dou Shi.
• Xun'er collected Qin Hao's and the other fighters' storage rings, then returned to the passage where Mu Chuan and the others had died.
• Xun'er burned the corpses and collapsed the passage, burying the bodies and their storage rings, then killed the wounded Ge Yong to avenge Mu Chuan and his companions.
• Xun'er left the unconscious adventurers to decide the fate of the surviving Yun Xian Sect members and followed Yun Xi through the labyrinth toward the main hall.

Xun'er reached the main hall of the Dou Zun relic and learned that a deteriorated spatial barrier sealed ten powerful Dou Skills. The nine Dou Ling experts joined forces to break it, leaving the hall poised to claim the treasures.

• Xun'er gathered items from the passageways, sorted the contents of her storage rings, and continued toward the main hall.
• Yun Xi sensed nine Dou Lings and many other cultivators in the hall, where a spatial barrier protected ten Dou Skill scrolls.
• A black-robed man explained that the scrolls surpassed high-level Profound Rank techniques, and a six-star Dou Ling from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect urged everyone to attack the weakened barrier together.
• Nine Dou Ling experts struck the barrier's existing crack with their combined Dou Qi and shattered it.

Xun'er claimed the genuine Earth Rank Dou Skill while the rival forces battled over decoys, and the Dou Ling experts formed plans to eliminate one another. The three-way standoff remained unresolved as one faction awaited Elder Zhao.

• After the barrier shattered, the crowd rushed toward the revealed Dou Skills, while several Dou Ling experts headed for the stone-carved book in the statue's hand.
• Yun Xi told Xun'er that only the second scroll from the left was genuine, and she charged toward it.
• Xun'er defeated the people guarding the scroll and obtained the Earth Low-Rank Dou Skill Nine Phoenix Sacred Flame Palm.
• Yan Lin and Mo Ya agreed to attack Yun Xian Sect, while Yun Xian Sect discussed pressuring the other forces and recruiting the black-robed group.
• The black-robed Boss said Elder Zhao would arrive soon and ordered his group to eliminate Jade Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Demons Sect first.

Xun'er watched the rival factions exhaust themselves fighting over a stone scroll until Zhao Lei, a powerful expert hiding his strength, arrived and claimed it. After he broke the seal and took the Earth-Rank Middle-Level Dou Skill, the ruin’s restriction shattered and the ruin began to tremble.

• Xun'er let Yan Lin, Mo Ya, the Yun Xian Sect members, and a black-robed man fight while she waited for an opportunity.
• A black-robed Dou Wang arrived from a passage, and Xun'er recognized him as Zhao Lei, the seemingly insignificant person she had once saved.
• Xun'er confronted Yun Xi for failing to tell her Zhao Lei was powerful, and Yun Xi admitted he had forgotten.
• Zhao Lei flew to the statue and took the sealed stone scroll while the exhausted factions could only watch.
• Zhao Lei broke the seal, revealed an Earth-Rank Middle-Level Dou Skill scroll, and triggered the ruin’s restriction to shatter.

After Zhao Lei broke the statue’s barrier, the ruin opened to four sect leaders and elders, while Yun Xi recognized an evil presence hidden beneath the Dou Zun space. The four experts destroyed the statue and its formation, awakening the thing sealed below.

• Zhao Lei’s barrier-breaking caused the ruin to tremble, and the restriction outside opened for Tang Yu, Yun Nantian, Yao Cheng, You Ming, and the other experts.
• Tang Yu and You Ming traded barbs over the disciples’ lives and their sects’ strength before Yao Cheng urged the group into the ruin.
• Yun Xi told Xun'er to circulate her Heavenly Flames, which burned away black impurities and ended the evil sensation inside her.
• Yun Xi sensed that a planar demon lurked in a hidden space beneath the ruin, then noticed four half-step Dou Zong experts arrive in the hall.
• You Ming dismissed Zhao Lei, who put the scroll away and retreated; then the four experts shattered the statue and its formation, drawing an enraged roar from the sealed presence.

Augustus broke free from the seal and overwhelmed four Dou Zong experts, while Xun'er stole Zhao Lei’s ring and slipped away. As the fleeing experts tried to escape Augustus’s reflected attack, he sensed Yun Xi’s aura and spoke his name.

• Augustus emerged from the shattered seal, and Yun Xi recognized him as the Great Plane Demon.
• Yun Nantian explained that a powerful lord had sent them to seek a fortune guarded by the demon, while the crowd fled the hall.
• Xun'er froze Zhao Lei, took his storage ring, and hid under the cover of Yun Xi’s aura.
• Tang Yu, Yao Cheng, Yun Nantian, and the other Dou Zong experts attacked Augustus, but he swallowed their techniques and hurled them back as a blood mist vortex.
• The Dou Zong experts fled as the vortex shattered space behind them, and Augustus sensed Yun Xi’s aura and said his name.

Yun Xi confronted the resurrected Augustus, now calling himself Scholar, while Xun'er and the others escaped the shattered ruins. Scholar revealed that he had regained most of his strength by devouring people, and his emergence as a powerful presence alarmed Dou Sheng experts across the Central Plains.

• Augustus recognized Yun Xi and unleashed blood mist against him, but Yun Xi blocked the attack with a wave of spiritual energy.
• Yun Xi and Augustus clashed, shattering the Ruins Space, while Tang Yu and Yun Nantian's group escaped through a space crack.
• Yun Xi shielded Xun'er from the blast as Augustus taunted him and revealed that he had lured people to the ruins and devoured them to restore his strength.
• Augustus transformed his white robe into black and released a tremendous surge of energy.
• Gu Yuan sensed a blood-red pillar of light and exclaimed that a Dou Di expert had appeared, as Dou Sheng experts across the Central Plains gathered to look.

Scholar was restricted to the Half-Emperor realm by the plane but still unleashed enough power to shake the continent. Yun Xi protected Xun'er and confronted Scholar, and their battle began with both sides unleashing devastating attacks.

• Soul Emperor and the ancient clans were shocked when Scholar's blood-red pillar appeared, while people across the region were forced to their knees by his aura.
• Scholar realized an invisible force had restricted him to the Half-Emperor realm, but he accepted the limit and prepared to fight Yun Xi.
• Yun Xi protected Xun'er with a golden barrier, then unleashed his own power and raised a golden pillar that startled the continent's clans.
• Scholar sent a towering wave of blood mist at Yun Xi, who charged forward with golden flames and blocked the attack.
• Scholar used Blood Demon Descent, causing space to collapse in a deadly rain of shattered sky and blood mist.

Yun Xi and Scholar fought inside the collapsing ruins space until Scholar fled from the Plane Storm. Yun Xi escaped with Xun'er and reunited with her, then heard Scholar's voice again as the chapter ended.

• Yun Xi used Universe: One Finger to clash with Scholar's blood mist while Xun'er watched from behind a golden barrier.
• Scholar devoured the blood mist and formed a blood-red scythe, and his clash with Yun Xi shattered the ruins space.
• Scholar fled through a space tunnel as the Plane Storm swept in, and Yun Xi sent Xun'er out before escaping with Spatial Teleportation.
• Yun Xi emerged from the channel and reunited with Xun'er, who clung to him in relief.
• Scholar spoke from nearby, and Yun Xi questioned whether he had run away.
