• Xiao Xuan recognized Gu Xun’er as Gu Yuan’s daughter, noted the Gu Clan’s agreement, and studied Lu Yunxiao, who had not formally saluted him.

Impressed and grateful, Xiao Xuan invited Lu Yunxiao, Gu Xun'er, and Xiao Yu inside the stone stele while the others stayed outside to cultivate.

Xiao Yu and Lu Yunxiao met Xiao Xuan in the Heavenly Tomb, where he explained how the Xiao Clan fell and prepared to pass its remaining bloodline power to her. Xiao Yu accepted the responsibility of carrying the Xiao Clan’s future forward.

• Xiao Yu told Xiao Xuan that the Xiao Clan had dwindled to a few members, with her as its strongest fighter, and thanked Lu Yunxiao for supporting the family.
• Xiao Xuan recounted how the Xiao Clan transferred most of its Dou Di Bloodline into him in hopes that he would become a Dou Di, but he failed, was ambushed by the Soul Clan, and died.
• Xiao Xuan revealed that he had preserved some of the Xiao Clan’s bloodline power so a future clansman could inherit it, and told Xiao Yu he believed she could revitalize the clan.
• Xiao Xuan entered the pool and poured his remaining bloodline power and energy into it, turning the water blood-red as his hair whitened and his face aged.
• Xiao Xuan entrusted the Xiao Clan’s future to Xiao Yu, who silently resolved to work hard for her clan.

Xiao Yu began inheriting Xiao Xuan’s bloodline in the Blood Pool, enduring a painful blood transfusion that would replace her ordinary blood with Xiao Clan bloodline power. After eight days, she was still immersed in the pool, dangerously weak and nearly skin and bones.

• Xiao Xuan urged Xiao Yu to enter the Blood Pool and inherit the Xiao Clan’s bloodline, and she accepted despite his aged condition.
• Xiao Yu thanked Lu Yunxiao for bringing her to the Heavenly Tomb, then entered the pool as Gu Xun’er and Lu Yunxiao encouraged her.
• The Blood Pool sent strands of blood-colored energy into Xiao Yu, beginning the painful process of cleansing her old blood and replacing it with bloodline power.
• Xiao Xuan warned Xiao Yu to endure the pain and stay awake, while Lu Yunxiao explained that surviving the inheritance could give her extraordinary potential.
• Eight days later, Xiao Yu remained in the Blood Pool, pale, nearly skin and bones, with only a faint breath remaining.

Lu Yunxiao asked Xiao Xuan for help obtaining the Heavenly Tomb Soul’s power so he could advance his soul to the Emperor Realm. Xiao Xuan offered to help if Lu Yunxiao married into the Xiao Clan, but Lu Yunxiao refused because he had promised Gu Xun'er he would marry no one else.

• Lu Yunxiao told Xiao Xuan that he had come seeking an Emperor Realm Soul, not information about Dou Di.
• Xiao Xuan realized Lu Yunxiao knew about the Heavenly Tomb Soul and warned that its Late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng strength exceeded Lu Yunxiao’s.

• Xiao Xuan offered to give everything to help if Lu Yunxiao became the Xiao Clan’s son-in-law.
• Lu Yunxiao refused, saying they should not discuss it because he had promised Gu Xun'er he would marry no one else.

• Lu Yunxiao told Xiao Xuan that feelings had to be mutual and that he would not accept Xiao Yu’s affection.
• Xiao Xuan learned Lu Yunxiao already had eight women and warned him not to ruin Xiao Yu.
• Lu Yunxiao proposed a trade and offered to revive Xiao Xuan if he helped him.
• Lu Yunxiao cited his resurrection of an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader as evidence, but Xiao Xuan still doubted he could be revived.

• Lu Yunxiao found Gu Xun'er cultivating with an Energy Core and judged that she had reached Six-Revolution Dou Zun, while Feng Qing'er had advanced to Seven-Revolution Dou Zun.

• Xiao Xuan explained why he wanted to nurture Xiao Yu, and Lu Yunxiao praised her hard work and persistence after her bloodline fusion.

• Lu Yunxiao checked Gu Xun’er’s information and noted her Six Revolutions Dou Zun cultivation, Heaven Realm Early Stage soul, and Heaven-tier Mid-grade Flame Mantra.
• Lu Yunxiao considered asking Xiao Xuan for Heavenly Flames, reasoning that they could help the Flame Mantra advance to Heaven-tier High-grade.

Lu Yunxiao considered the Heavenly Flames he could gain by resurrecting Xiao Xuan, then spent several months cultivating beside Gu Xun'er while Xiao Yu absorbed Xiao Xuan's bloodline. Xiao Yu's aura surged as the bloodline fusion ended, and she was on the verge of awakening.

• Lu Yunxiao thought that resurrecting Xiao Xuan would grant him three Heavenly Flames, but he had no Resurrection Cards left to resurrect the Purifying Demonic Saint.

Lu Yunxiao visited Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan, then asked Xiao Xuan to take him to the Heavenly Tomb Soul. Xiao Xuan agreed, and the others learned that the Heavenly Tomb had a hidden soul that controlled the space and its Energy Entities.

• Lu Yunxiao checked on Qing Lin and Feng Qing'er, who had advanced to the Two-Revolutions Dou Zun and Seven-Revolutions Dou Zun realms, then cultivated with Gu Xun'er.
