Qing Lin subdued more than a dozen snake-tribe Dou Venerates with her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and the group headed for Burning Flame Valley.

• Zi Yan sensed a large set of Dou Saint Remains behind a powerful Space Seal, but Lin Yuan chose to return later rather than risk exposing it.
• Lin Yuan avoided a Four-Star Dou Venerate snake guarding the range, surveyed the remains, and then took the two girls elsewhere to capture snake-tribe experts for Qing Lin.
• Qing Lin used her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to subdue snake-tribe Dou Venerate dependents, eventually succeeding with a Seven-Star Dou Venerate despite straining her soul.
• After Qing Lin's cultivation rose to Nine-Star Dou Sect, Lin Yuan decided to leave before the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe discovered the missing Dou Venerates, and the group set out for Burning Flame Valley.

As Lin Yuan began absorbing the legacy, an unseen old man remarked on his exceptional compatibility and fire talent.

• Lin Yuan noticed a hidden spatial fold in the pavilion but followed Tang Zhen to the red crystal ball containing the legacy.
• Lin Yuan merged his soul power with the crystal ball, causing it to shine brilliantly as an aged voice praised his near-highest-tier compatibility and fire talent.

Lin Yuan completed the Burning Flame Valley legacy and met Old Ancestor Huoyun, who explained the ancient clans and invited him to attend the Lei Clan’s Initial Thunder Ceremony. Their conversation ended with Huoyun proposing that Lin Yuan marry Tang Huo'er and inherit Burning Flame Valley’s legacy, leaving Lin Yuan weighing how to respond.
