Chapter Summaries

Hun Tiandi’s group tormented Han Feng after Star Plucking Old Ghost presented him, while Han Feng pleaded in vain for Li Xiao to save him. As bidding for a Small World intensified, the Pill Tower Old Ancestor agreed to help Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi buy it and warned them to keep it hidden afterward.

• Star Plucking Old Ghost presented Han Feng’s soul to Hun Tiandi as a possible bargaining chip.
• Hun Shengtian and Hun Yuantian abused Han Feng, but stopped short of killing him because of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s rules.

• Xuan Kongzi bid eighty million Spirit Crystals for the Small World, and Tian Leizi challenged the other bidders.
• The Pill Tower Old Ancestor agreed to do his utmost to secure the Small World and warned the others not to reveal it after the auction.

The Pill Tower Old Ancestor and the Medicine Clan competed fiercely for ownership of a special small world, while Yao Dan tried to avoid wasting resources before later auction items. Yao Xingji defied Yao Dan’s order to stop bidding, was stripped of his position as Young Clan Leader, and concealed his anger behind a submissive apology.

• Yao Dan bid one hundred million Spirit Crystals for the special small world as the auction grew more competitive.
• The Pill Tower Old Ancestor had Xuan Kongzi raise the bid with a Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Pill and one hundred million Spirit Crystals.
• Yao Dan decided the Medicine Clan should stop bidding to preserve resources for the later auction items.
• Yao Xingji ignored Yao Dan and bid two Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Pills, an eight-colored pill, and eighty million Spirit Crystals.
• Yao Dan struck Yao Xingji and removed him from his position as Young Clan Leader.
• Yao Xingji apologized submissively to Yao Dan while hiding his resentment.

Yao Dan warned Yao Xingji against becoming consumed by ambition as the Pill Tower outbid him and secured a Small World. The auction continued with rare treasures, then introduced an unusual magical beast from another world as a potential pet.

• Yao Dan warned Yao Xingji that he would punish him if he pursued power at the Yao Clan's expense.
• Xuan Kongzi raised the Pill Tower's bid, and Yao Xingji withdrew rather than risk provoking Yao Dan.
• Ya Fei announced that private room number seven on the Fourth Floor had won the Small World for two Eight Grade Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Pills, three eight-colored pills, fifty million Spirit Crystals, and one Ninth Grade Pill formula.
• The auction proceeded through a series of top-tier treasures, exciting the crowd.
• Ya Fei introduced a magical beast from another world, and Niu Meng carried its chest onto the stage while suppressing its aura.

Li Xiao reunited with Xu Qing while the auction offered a King Kong Earth Ape and then an Ancient Battle Puppet made from a fallen Dou Di expert’s body. The damaged puppet drew a fifty-million-Spirit-Crystal bid from Shi Hao, alarming the Stone Clan elders.

• Li Xiao welcomed Xu Qing to his private room, where Xu Qing remarked that he had just dealt with a God Realm King.
• A buyer identified as Azure Cloud Fairy purchased the King Kong Earth Ape for one million and ten thousand Spirit Crystals.
• Ya Fei explained that the Ancient Battle Puppet came from a Dou Di expert who had fallen a million years earlier and could reach Dou Di strength if repaired.
• The auction opened bidding on the damaged puppet at ten million Spirit Crystals.
• Shi Hao bid fifty million Spirit Crystals, prompting Shi Ziling and the Stone Clan elders to protest the expense.

Shi Hao bid heavily on the damaged Ancient Battle Puppet because the Stone Clan’s ancient records described how pure energy could repair and activate it. The other major clans joined the bidding to keep the puppet from the Stone Clan, but Shi Hao persuaded most rivals to save their Spirit Crystals, leaving the Gu, Hun, and Stone Clans to compete.

• Shi Hao reminded Shi Ziling and the Stone Clan elders that their ancestor’s book said pure energy could restore the Ancient Battle Puppet and potentially give the clan a Dou Di-level fighter.
• Gu Yuan, Gu Xing, and Gu Xian suspected the Stone Clan knew a secret about the puppet and agreed they could not let Shi Hao obtain it without considering the danger.
• Hun Tiandi ordered Hun Shengtian to bid eighty million Spirit Crystals, prompting the other Ancient Clans to raise their bids.
• Shi Hao warned the other bidders and offered not to interfere with their bids on later items if they gave up the puppet, so most experts withdrew.
• Gu Dao advised Gu Yuan to stop raising the bid and save Spirit Crystals in case the Ascending Heaven Pavilion offered more pills, possibly Emperor Pills.

Shi Hao won the Ancient Battle Puppet after Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi withdrew from the bidding. During the auction break, Li Xiao took over from the exhausted Ya Fei, and Bailing entered his room.

• Hun Tiandi raised the bid for the Ancient Battle Puppet, but Nihility Devouring Flame persuaded him to save resources for the Ninth Grade Pill they sought.
• Gu Yuan withdrew, and Hun Tiandi stopped bidding, leaving Shi Hao to win the puppet for the Stone Clan with an offer of 120 million Spirit Crystals and a Heaven Rank Low Grade cultivation method.
• Ya Fei announced the Stone Clan's victory, then continued auctioning treasures until Li Xiao called a half-hour break.
• Li Xiao gave Ya Fei tea and offered to handle the rest of the auction while she rested.
• Xu Qing left to meet Brother Jiang, and Bailing entered Li Xiao's room.

Li Xiao learned that Shi Hao had auctioned off the Ancient Battle Puppet and arranged to limit the Spirit Crystals that could repair it. Outside the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, Li Muchen agreed to spar with Li Xiyuan, who summoned the Golden Emperor Burning Flame as he attacked.

• Bailing told Li Xiao that Shi Hao had auctioned off the Ancient Battle Puppet and might be able to repair it.
• Li Xiao explained that he had halved the pure energy in the Ascending Heaven Pavilion's Spirit Crystals to hinder Shi Hao from repairing the puppet.
• Lian Xue and Bing Shuang stopped watching Li Xiao and Bailing in the Fifth Floor private room.
• Li Xiyuan asked the Bodhi Ancient Tree why her father made her practice alchemy instead of cultivation, and it praised her as a Sixth-Rank Alchemist before age two.
• Li Xiyuan challenged Li Muchen to a spar, and he replaced his sword with its scabbard before charging at her.
• Li Xiyuan summoned the fourth-ranked Heavenly Flame, the Golden Emperor Burning Flame, as Li Muchen attacked.

Li Xiyuan defeated Li Muchen in a spar, then apologized after Cai Lin reminded her of the difference in their strength. At the Ascending Heaven Pavilion auction, Li Xiao revealed a Ninth Grade Golden Pill that was said to be infinitely close to an Emperor Pill, drawing Hun Tiandi’s attention.

• Li Xiyuan knocked Li Muchen down with her Golden Emperor Burning Flame, and he admitted she was stronger than him.
• Yun Yun comforted Li Muchen, while Cai Lin asked Li Xiyuan to apologize; the siblings made a promise to spar again when he had grown stronger.
• Bailing warned Li Xiao that Li Xiyuan’s talent could surpass his if she learned the Flame Mantra.
• Li Xiao opened the Ascending Heaven Pavilion auction and announced he would personally auction the next two items.
• Li Xiao revealed a golden pill that experts identified as a Ninth Grade Golden Pill close to an Emperor Pill, and Hun Tiandi resolved to fight for the upcoming items.

The Ascending Heaven Pavilion presented the Golden Silk Everlasting Spirit Pill, a Ninth Grade Golden Pill that could greatly raise a Dou Sheng’s cultivation. The Ancient Eight Great Clans recognized its potential, and the chapter left Yao Dan weighing the pill’s value against his clan’s dwindling funds.

• Bailing asked Ya Fei why the auction’s Embryonic Emperor Pill had been replaced, and Ya Fei explained that Li Xiao had postponed it because the exhausted bidders would not cover its cost.
• The Pavilion Master introduced the Golden Silk Everlasting Spirit Pill and claimed it had once helped a Dou Zun with Dou Di Bloodline reach Nine Star Dou Sheng over ten years.
• Yao Dan recognized the pill from ancient texts describing how it absorbed Original Emperor Qi and could help a bloodline bearer break through the Dou Sheng Realm.
• Yao Xingji urged Yao Dan to secure the pill, boasting that a junior could reach Half-Step Dou Di within ten years.
• Yao Dan dismissed Yao Xingji’s confidence and worried that the Yao Clan had already spent too much to compete for the pill.

Li Xiao opened the auction for the Ninth Grade Golden Pill, and Shi Hao aggressively bid while threatening to use the Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment as leverage. As the bidding continued, Li Xiao resolved to teach the Stone Clan a lesson for trying to manipulate the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

• Li Xiao opened the auction with a starting price of two hundred million Spirit Crystals.
• Shi Hao bid three hundred million Spirit Crystals and told Shi Ziling that the Stone Clan could use the Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment to pressure Li Xiao.
• Lei Ying raised the offer with Spirit Crystals, Heaven Rank Dou Skills, and Eight Grade Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Pills, declaring that he wanted the Golden Silk Everlasting Spirit Pill.
• Shi Ziling warned Shi Hao that the Stone Clan had exhausted its funds and that trading the jade fragment would bring ruin, but Shi Hao threatened to strip him of his position as Great Elder.
• Li Xiao overheard the Stone Clan's argument and decided to teach them a lesson for trying to seize the Ascending Heaven Pavilion's leverage.

Shi Hao drove the bidding for the Golden Silk Everlasting Spirit Pill beyond the other clans’ offers, but Li Xiao demanded payment upfront. Unable to pay with his available wealth, Shi Hao revealed the Stone Clan’s final Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment, angering the other clan leaders and making himself a target.

• Yan Jin bid three hundred million Spirit Crystals, pills, and gemstones for the Golden Silk Everlasting Spirit Pill on behalf of the Flame Clan.
• Shi Hao raised the bid to four hundred million Spirit Crystals, pills, and two Heaven Rank Mid-Level Dou Techniques, while Gu Yuan and Lei Ying refrained from competing.
• Li Xiao demanded that Shi Hao pay the remaining balance before taking the pill, despite the auction’s original rule that payment came afterward.
• Shi Hao produced Spirit Crystals, cultivation manuals, and pills, then added the Stone Clan’s final Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment when Li Xiao rejected the payment as insufficient.
• Yan Jin accused Shi Hao of breaking their agreement against the Hun Clan, and Gu Yuan warned that Shi Hao had made himself a target for everyone.

Li Xiao rejected Shi Hao’s offer of the Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment and punished him after he challenged Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s rules. Shi Hao left with the Golden Silk Everlasting Spirit Pill, owing thirty percent of the Stone Clan’s foundation and barred from the Pavilion for three years.

• Shi Hao offered the Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment for the Golden Silk Everlasting Spirit Pill, but Li Xiao said it was worth less than the required price.
• Shi Hao’s aura surged as he argued with Li Xiao, who slapped him to the ground and warned that he could destroy the Stone Clan.

• Li Xiao took the jade fragment, gave Shi Hao the pill, and ordered the Stone Clan to deliver thirty percent of its foundation within three months.
• Li Xiao barred Shi Hao from Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s territory for three years, and Shi Hao led the Stone Clan experts away.

Li Xiao unveiled a Dou Di Inheritance Memory Ball containing a Dou Di’s inheritance memories and a trace of Original Emperor Qi, then began its auction. Gu Yuan enlisted Xun’er to help secure it, leaving her prepared to give up returning freely to the Gu Clan once the auction ended.

• Li Xiao presented the Inheritance Memory Ball and explained that a Nine Star Dou Sheng might use it to comprehend a path to the Dou Di Realm.
• Experts tried to seize the sphere, but Niu Meng killed them, and Li Xiao opened bidding in exchange for rare treasures.
• Gu Yuan ordered Gu Xing to summon Xun’er so she could help the Gu Clan win the auction.
• Xun’er agreed to bid with the treasures she carried, knowing she might remain in Ascending Heaven Pavilion and lose the freedom to visit her family.

The great clans and Zhu Jin fiercely bid for the sphere containing a Dou Di expert’s memory inheritance, each seeking a chance to reach the Dou Di Realm. The bidding escalated as Gu Yuan refused to back down and offered a legacy imprint and Half-Step Dou Di blood essence.

• Gu Yuan argued that the strong would claim the inheritance and privately focused on obtaining its trace of Original Emperor Qi.
• Bailing asked Li Xiao whether Xiao Xun'er had violated the auction rules by bidding, and Li Xiao allowed her to continue because she was not using Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s resources.
• Yan Jin doubled the previous bid, offering a vast collection of pills, Dou Techniques, and cultivation methods.
• Zhu Jin rejected the Dragon Kings’ objections and bid treasures of equal value, intending to seize control of the resources for himself.
• Gu Yuan raised the stakes by adding a drop of Half-Step Dou Di blood essence and a Dou Di expert’s legacy imprint to his bid.

Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan remained locked in a bidding war over the Dou Di memory inheritance after the other clans withdrew. Nihility Devouring Flame warned Hun Tiandi that an Emperor Pill might appear at the next Auction, so Hun Tiandi decided to force Gu Yuan to spend his reserves and pay for opposing the Hun Clan.

• Gu Yuan warned the other clans that continuing to bid could leave both sides ruined, and Lei Ying, the Flame Clan, and the Yao Clan withdrew.
• Hun Tiandi blamed Gu Yuan for the valuable treasures being offered and ordered the Hun Clan to keep raising its bid.
• Zhu Jin withdrew, deciding the rival factions should not leave the Northwest Continent alive after the Auction.
• Nihility Devouring Flame told Hun Tiandi that an Emperor Pill might be offered at the next Auction and cautioned him against spending too much now.
• Hun Tiandi agreed to keep bidding to drain Gu Yuan's reserves and punish the Gu Clan.

Hun Tiandi tried to drain the Gu Clan’s resources by bidding extravagantly on the Dou Di Inheritance Memory, but Gu Yuan followed Xun’er’s advice and withdrew. After the Hun Clan won the item, Li Xiao announced that an Embryonic Emperor Pill would be auctioned in a year, leaving Hun Tiandi furious at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

• Hun Tiandi bid three hundred million Spirit Crystals and numerous rare treasures for the Dou Di Inheritance Memory, while Gu Yuan crushed his auction paddle and Xun’er reminded him to pay the fine.
• Xun’er explained that Li Xiao had predicted the Hun Clan’s plan to deplete the Gu Clan’s resources, and Gu Yuan agreed to stop bidding.
• When the Gu Clan withdrew, Hun Tiandi erupted in anger, struck Star Plucking Old Ghost, and watched his subordinates throw Han Feng into a separate space.
• Li Xiao declared that the Hun Clan had won the Dou Di Inheritance Memory and announced that an Embryonic Emperor Pill would be auctioned one year later.
• Hun Tiandi blamed Li Xiao for the scheme and vowed to make him pay.

After the auction, Li Xiao completed the system’s ten-billion-Spirit-Crystal quest and opened a gift pack that greatly increased his strength and the power of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion. He began a ten-draw for cultivation methods and Dou Skills, eager to see what it would yield.

• Hun Tiandi left the auction furious at Li Xiao, while the Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s guests departed wondering whether the next auction would offer an Embryonic Emperor Pill.
• The system credited Li Xiao with five billion Spirit Crystals and announced that he had completed his ten-billion-Spirit-Crystal quest.
• Li Xiao opened the System Gift Pack and received Seven Star Dou Sheng cultivation, an advanced Emperor Rank movement technique, three Emperor Pills, an Emperor Rank bow, and other rewards.
• The Ascending Heaven Pavilion Protectors broke through to Nine Star Dou Sheng Peak, and the Dou Di Bloodline activated among those inside the pavilion.
• Li Xiao started a ten-consecutive draw for cultivation methods and Dou Skills, choosing to watch the roulette rather than skip it.

Hun Tiandi faced the gathered Gu Yuan and Zhu Jin while Li Xiao finished drawing powerful techniques and distributed them among the Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s people. After the auction, Li Xiao arranged a bonfire banquet and spent time with his family, leaving his household to celebrate and train with their new rewards.

• Hun Tiandi considered advancing his plans, but Gu Yuan, Gu Lie, the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, and Zhu Jin appeared before he could leave.
• Li Xiao drew ten cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques, including the Emperor Rank Advanced Cloud Dragon Destruction Slash, and learned that the system had no new missions.
• Li Xiao gave Bailing the Cloud Dragon Destruction Slash and let the others choose techniques, including a Heaven Rank Advanced Flying Dou Technique for the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
• Li Xiao announced a Bonfire Banquet to reward everyone for their work at the auction, and Long Kui and Zi Yan celebrated.
• Li Xiao praised Li Xiyuan’s battle and encouraged her ambition to become an Emperor Grade Alchemist.
• Li Muchen complained to Yun Yun that Li Xiao’s demanding sword practice left his hands scarred.

Yun Yun encouraged Li Muchen to grow into a strong man, while Ascending Heaven Pavilion prepared for a bonfire party. On the Northwest Continent, Hun Tiandi sacrificed Han Feng’s soul to cover his escape as Gu Yuan and Zhu Jin tried to stop him.

• Yun Yun told Li Muchen that his father had endured hardships and urged him to become an expert who could restore Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s glory.
• Niu Meng, Ye Chen, and the others prepared for the evening bonfire party as the Amethyst Winged Lion King supplied magical beast meat, while Zi Yan and Long Kui played together.
• Gu Lie, newly advanced to Nine Star Dou Sheng, overwhelmed Nihility Devouring Flame as Gu Yuan and Zhu Jin joined forces against Hun Tiandi.
• Hun Tiandi decided to flee and pulled Han Feng’s soul from his Ring, using Myriad Phenomena: Soul Burial to hinder his pursuers.
• Gu Yuan sensed something strange and stopped Zhu Jin, but Han Feng’s expanding soul exploded before they could prevent it.

Hun Tiandi escaped Gu Yuan and Zhu Jin by using a Heaven Realm soul to delay them, leaving both clans wary of his plans to pursue the Dou Emperor inheritance. Zhu Jin then sent his followers to retrieve Zi Yan, while Li Xiao recognized that Zhu Jin intended to devour her Dragon Emperor bloodline.

• Hun Tiandi vanished with the Hun Clan after unleashing a black tide that kept Gu Yuan and Zhu Jin from pursuing them.
• Gu Yuan warned Zhu Jin that Hun Tiandi's return to the Hun Clan could threaten them, and Zhu Jin said Hun Tiandi would likely focus on the Dou Emperor inheritance while recovering.
• Gu Yuan departed with Gu Lie and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, while Zhu Jin ordered the North Dragon King to bring Zi Yan back from the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.
• Bailing told Li Xiao that several auras were approaching, and Li Xiao identified them as Zhu Jin's group and said Zhu Jin wanted Zi Yan's Dragon Emperor bloodline.
• Li Xiao explained that Zhu Jin's impure bloodline and ambition drove him to covet Zi Yan's power, even though she was his niece.
