• Lin Yuan scolded Zi Yan for trying to force her way through the seal without permission, and Zi Yan promised not to do it again.

Lin Yuan and his companions sealed off the area around the Skeleton Mountain Range, suppressed their cultivation to enter the ruins safely, and opened the Creation Saint’s crimson hall.

• Lin Yuan led the group into the passage, where magma and blue fire erupted from the floor and walls, but his Azure Blue Ice Flame protected them.

Zi Yan, Lin Yuan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin discovered the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit inside a hidden beast spirit shield and Zi Yan absorbed it into her body. When Lin Yuan removed the fruit’s sapling, the Ancient Void Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix remnant spirits appeared, and Lin Yuan attacked them with black chains.

• Zi Yan used her bloodline to open the beast spirit shield, revealing a blood-red plain and an ancient stone altar.
• The group found the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, formed from the remains of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and Zi Yan absorbed it into her body.

• Lin Yuan scanned the altar’s energy and earth qi before Zi Yan sealed the fruit within herself and Lin Yuan stored its sapling in the Nether Sea Ring.
• The dragon and phoenix remnant spirits emerged from their bones, and Lin Yuan summoned black chains to attack the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix remnant spirit.

Lin Yuan captured the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix remnant spirit, secured both ancient beast skeletons, and learned that the relic’s seal was weakening and it would emerge early. He led Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin to the Pill Hall to gather its medicines, where Zi Yan found something promising on the third floor.

• Lin Yuan subdued and sealed the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix remnant spirit, then performed a brief rite with Zi Yan before sealing the Ancient Dragon remnant spirit as well.
• Lin Yuan told Qing Lin to collect the Ancient Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix skeletons, and she stored both before the Beast Spirit Shield vanished.
• Qing Lin reported that the relic’s seal was rapidly weakening and that less than twenty percent of the medicinal ingredients had been gathered, so Lin Yuan ordered his subordinates to prioritize valuable ingredients and guardian beasts before setting out with the three women.
• Lin Yuan followed a strong medicinal fragrance to the Pill Hall, where his group collected pills and formulas while Xiao Yi Xian absorbed the poisonous gas on the second and third floors.
• After searching several chambers on the third floor, Lin Yuan heard Zi Yan call for help after finding something good, and a white light flashed as he reached her.

Lin Yuan and the girls captured a spiritually advanced pill beast in the Pill Hall, then reached the main hall of the Dou Saint Remains and fought its Ancient Human Puppets. After the battle, Qing Lin warned Lin Yuan that the ruins had opened ahead of schedule in the outside world.

• Lin Yuan lured the snow-white pill beast with medicinal pills, caught it, and let Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian handle it before promising Zi Yan more pills.
• The group followed a map and Lin Yuan's perception to reach the main hall, where they found a Dou Saint skeleton, ten sealed light clusters, and more than a dozen Ancient Human Puppets.
• Lin Yuan warned the girls not to disturb the skeleton, and Zi Yan broke the space seal, awakening the puppets and releasing the scrolls from the light clusters.
• Lin Yuan summoned Heavenly Puppet One, and the group fought the Ancient Human Puppets as the sealed ruins erupted into view in the Skeleton Mountain Range, drawing nearby Magical Beasts.
• Lin Yuan destroyed his sixth Ancient Human Puppet and saw that the girls had defeated theirs, but Qing Lin reported that the Dou Saint Remains had opened ahead of schedule.

Lin Yuan faced the Creation Saint’s revived corpse after it absorbed blood mist and grew to Peak Dou Venerate strength. He defeated it with Heaven Turns the Universe, leaving the main hall destroyed and the corpse silent.

• Qing Lin reported that Magical Beast Clans were converging on the remains and that medicinal harvesting was only halfway complete, so Lin Yuan ordered his followers to reinforce the Ancient Forest and guard the fire path under the Nine Serene Deepground Python Tribe’s name.
• Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian returned with the retrieved scrolls, and Lin Yuan awakened the Dou Saint corpse with blood before shielding the group with the Azure Blue Mysterious Bell.
• The corpse absorbed blood mist beneath its stone seat, revived at Peak Dou Venerate strength, and attacked Lin Yuan, who reached Nine-Star Dou Venerate through the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame.
• Lin Yuan fought the corpse for half an hour, adapted to its attacks, and eventually suppressed it as its blood-red aura weakened.
• The corpse unleashed Great Heaven Creation Palm, and Lin Yuan countered with Heaven Turns the Universe, erasing the main hall in a clash that ended with the corpse’s aura returning to silence.

Lin Yuan and his companions claimed the treasures in Creation Saint’s remains, then escaped before the Nine Serene Deepground Python and Heaven Demon Phoenix forces arrived. They set course south, with Lin Yuan revealing that their destination was outside the Central Plains, while the tribes fought over the remains behind them.

Lin Yuan decided the group would avoid the Central Plains and travel while building their strength, and Xiao Yi Xian told him Qing Lin would meet them the next day.

• Zi Yan ordered the Sky-Scaled Fish-Dragon Beast to guard the mountain range as Nine-Colored Pill Lightning gathered over Lin Yuan's secluded valley.
• Lin Yuan's purple-gold puppet endured the pill lightning, and Lin Yuan used the Pill Guiding Art to catch the refined One Venerate Pill when it tried to escape.
• Lin Yuan gave Zi Yan the pill, and she handed him the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit before flying off to break through her cultivation.
• Lin Yuan decided to study the fruit and keep the group away from the Central Plains until Zi Yan finished consuming it, with a possible visit to Jia Nan Academy along the way.
