Chapter Summaries

Yao Wan negotiated with Huo Yao Elder for three Heavenly Flames and a Burning Flame Secret Realm slot in exchange for her Flame Transformation Method, leaving the Yan Clan to consider her demands. As the Yao Clan’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony ended, Lei Xiao interrupted to ask whether Yao Wan was betrothed.

• Huo Yao Elder offered Yao Wan a Heaven Rank Dou Technique and three sets of Grade Nine Pill materials, but she declined them.

• Huo Yao Elder agreed to relay Yao Wan’s conditions to the Yan Clan Clan Leader for consideration.
• The Three Elders announced the end of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, but Lei Xiao stopped them and asked whether Young Miss Yao Wan was betrothed.

After Yao Wan’s bloodline awakening ended the Yao Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Lei Xiao interrupted the proceedings to ask whether she had a marriage arrangement. Yao Wan ignored him and left the plaza, while Lei Xiao was left without the reaction he had expected.

• The Three Elders declared the Yao Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony over, but Lei Xiao rose and asked whether Yao Wan had a marriage arrangement.
• Yao Tian objected that Lei Xiao had no place speaking at the Yao Clan ceremony, but Lei Xiao defended himself by citing the clans’ marriage customs.
• Yao Wangui confirmed that Yao Wan had no marriage arrangement, and Lei Xiao decided he would need to discuss a formal proposal with his clan head.
• Yao Tian tried to challenge Lei Xiao but found himself silenced by bloodline pressure, which he suspected came from Yao Wan’s God Grade Bloodline.
• Yao Wan walked past Lei Xiao without acknowledging him and left the plaza, followed by Qing Lin and Feng Qing'er.

After rejecting Yao Tian and hiding her clan mark, Yao Wan admitted she missed Xiao Yan and tried to imagine his life with Zi Yan. The elders then summoned her to the Clan Hall, where she expected the Coming-of-Age Ceremony’s fallout and threatened anyone who raised her marriage.

• Yao Wan told Qing Lin that Lei Xiao’s proposal could not bind her, then confronted Yao Tian and condemned his unwanted devotion as self-serving emotional blackmail.
• Yao Wan left Yao Tian behind and told him that simps did not get houses, while Yao Ling hoped the rebuke would make her brother give up.
• Back in the grotto-heaven, Yao Wan concealed her colorful golden clan mark and explained that she would use it only when necessary.
• Yao Wan admitted to Qing Lin that she missed Xiao Yan and wondered whether he was with Zi Yan.
• Feng Qing'er reported that the elders had summoned Yao Wan to the Clan Hall, and Yao Wan angrily vowed to slaughter anyone who discussed her marriage.

Yao Wan confronted the Yao Clan elders over their discussions of her marriage and announced a tournament to settle the matter. Yao Dan later visited her grotto-heaven, reflecting on how she had changed and asking whether the tournament would be safe.

• Yao Wan suppressed the hall with her God Grade Bloodline, then learned that the elders had been discussing her marriage.
• Yao Wan announced a tournament in one year, open to anyone below Dou Sheng: the winner could challenge her, and she would marry him only if he defeated her.

• Yao Dan visited Yao Wan in her grotto-heaven and wondered whether the marriage tournament's inclusion of Half-Saints would be safe.
• Yao Wan assured Yao Dan that no one below Dou Sheng could defeat her.

Yao Wan spoke with Yao Dan about handling her marriage herself, then visited the Inheritance Land and discussed the Spirit Devouring Clan and the Yan Clan with the Medicine Emperor Phantom. The Phantom identified a mysterious leaf from Yao Wan’s friend as a Lian Li Branch, leaving Yao Wan to wonder what kind of friend had given it to her.

• Yao Dan asked whether Yao Wan was waiting for someone to help with her marriage, and she insisted she wanted to settle it herself.

• The Medicine Emperor Phantom recognized the green leaf Yao Wan had received from a friend as a Lian Li Branch and asked who had given it to her.

Yao Wan was confronted with the Medicine Emperor Phantom’s claim that the Lian Li Branch revealed her true feelings. In the Dou Sheng Relic, Zi Yan absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, leaving Xiao Yan to face the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

• The Medicine Emperor Phantom gave Yao Wan a renewed leaf and told her to face her feelings, citing the Lian Li Branch as proof.
• Xiao Yan and Zi Yan gathered Spirit Medicines in the relic before Zi Yan sensed a call deeper in the forest.
• Zi Yan opened a golden beast spirit barrier, and she and Xiao Yan found a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit growing on an ancient altar.
• Members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan arrived and recognized the fruit, but Zi Yan seized it before their Black-Robed Elder could stop her.
• The fruit’s power flowed into Zi Yan and made her feel unwell, so Xiao Yan told her to rest while he confronted the clan.

Xiao Yan protected Zi Yan from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and a hidden Spirit Devouring Clan attacker while she secured the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. After the attackers retreated, Zi Yan decided she needed her clan’s help with the fruit, and Xiao Yan offered to go with her.

• Zi Yan took the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Xiao Yan confronted Huang Xuan when he ordered the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to seize her.
• Xiao Yan used his Dharma Body to overpower the clan’s Dou Zun fighters and clash evenly with Huang Xuan, despite their powerful Magical Beast bodies.
• A white-haired attacker ambushed Xiao Yan with Demon Phoenix Black Flame, but Xiao Yan’s Heavenly Flame blocked the strike and revealed a hidden Spirit Devouring Clan demon near Zi Yan.
• Xiao Yan burned the demon to nothingness, and Huang Xuan led the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s group away after admitting they could not defeat him.
• Zi Yan said she could not handle the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit’s energy alone, so Xiao Yan offered to accompany her to her clan.

Xiao Yan and Zi Yan left the Ancient Forest and reached the palace halls, where a demonic tide attacked the experts searching for treasures. The tide awakened the Dou Sheng Skeleton, and the two forces unleashed deadly techniques as the survivors fled.

• Xiao Yan and Zi Yan left the Ancient Forest after obtaining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, while a hidden Void Ancient Dragon watched them and decided to observe them for now.

• Blood-red chains erupted from the demonic pool, pierced nearby experts, and dragged them into the tide as it surged toward the Dou Sheng Skeleton.
• The demonic tide awakened the skeleton’s remnant will, and the Dou Sheng Skeleton declared, “Devil, die!” before preparing its Great Heaven Creation Palm.
• Star Plucking Old Ghost and the other experts fled as the Dou Sheng Skeleton and the demonic tide unleashed opposing attacks that split the hall into two deadly zones.

Xiao Yan destroyed the Spirit Devouring Clan demon tide with his Six-Colored Destruction Fire Lotus and claimed the Dou Sheng Skeleton, but Star Plucking Old Ghost and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan moved to seize it. Hei Qing intervened, drove them off, and invited Xiao Yan and Zi Yan to return with him to the Void Ancient Dragon clan.

• Xiao Yan's Six-Colored Destruction Fire Lotus annihilated the demon tide, and he stored the Dou Sheng Skeleton after its lingering will faded.

• Hei Qing told Xiao Yan he had known Xiao Xuan and questioned him about the movement Dou Technique that resembled the Void Ancient Dragon clan’s spatial talent.
• Hei Qing led Xiao Yan and Zi Yan through a spatial passage to a vast island hidden in the void, where several elders gathered to greet them.
• Yao Wan explained that the Yao Clan could not afford to nurture a Heavenly Flame and that the Yan Clan was better equipped to do so.
• Yao Wan left the Inheritance Land, changed into formal clothes, and returned to her grotto-heaven to find that the Yan Clan’s people had arrived.
• Yao Wan called their visit a deal coming to the door.

Yao Wan met with Yan Clan elders to negotiate the exchange of her Fire Separation Method for three Heavenly Flames. She accepted their offer of a Burning Flame Secret Realm quota as a personal favor, leaving the deal agreed in principle.

• Yao Wan encouraged Qing Lin to cultivate and grow strong enough to serve as a pillar of the Yao Clan.

• Fire Spirit Fairy offered Yao Wan the next Burning Flame Secret Realm quota as a personal favor, and Yao Wan accepted.

Yao Wan agreed to accompany Fire Spirit Fairy and Huo Yao Elder, while Xiao Yan stayed with Zi Yan as she began consuming the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit to transform her bloodline. When the fruit's energy overwhelmed Zi Yan and crystallized her body, Xiao Yan used his Heavenly Flame to protect her heart meridian, and she began guiding her energy into him.

• Yao Wan agreed to go with Fire Spirit Fairy and Huo Yao Elder, who hoped her promise would bring the Yan Clan closer to the Yao Clan.
• Xiao Yan urged Zi Yan to leave Ancient Dragon Island if she could not accept her duty, but Zi Yan insisted that her royal bloodline bound her to help reunite the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.
• Xiao Yan sat beside Zi Yan and promised to protect her as she swallowed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
• The fruit's energy began transforming Zi Yan's bloodline, but the energy she could not absorb crystallized over her body and threatened to block her meridians.
• Xiao Yan used his Heavenly Flame to melt and refine the crystals around Zi Yan's heart meridian, and Zi Yan guided her energy into his body as he paused to recover.

Xiao Yan continued melting the Dragon Phoenix energy crystallized inside Zi Yan while Yao Wan traveled to the Yan Clan to share her Fire Separation Method. After demonstrating that she could safely extract a portion of a Strange Fire’s origin, she left the Yan Clan eager to study her technique.

• Xiao Yan used his Strange Fire to keep melting the crystals inside and outside Zi Yan, while his Dharma Body’s golden radiance turned purple-gold.

• Yao Wan used her soul to extract a small portion of the Red Lotus Karma Fire’s origin, demonstrating the method to the Yan Clan.

Yao Wan demonstrated that she could divide a Heavenly Flame’s Source Fire Seed, impressing the Yan Clan elders and weakening Huo Zhi’s Red Lotus Karma Fire temporarily. As Yao Wan awaited payment, Yan Jin ordered the seed placed in the Flame Mountain Heart, a decision that shocked the elders and left Yao Wan curious.

• Yao Wan separated a wisp of Huo Zhi’s Red Lotus Karma Fire and explained how Huo Zhi’s flame would recover.
• Huo Xuan and Fire Spirit Fairy discussed Yao Wan’s pride, her marriage tournament, and the political constraints on anyone who married her.
• Fire Spirit Fairy suggested Yao Wan could become the Yao Clan’s ruler rather than remain a chess piece, while Huo Xuan said he was only curious about her marriage.
• Yao Wan handed the Source Fire Seed to Huo Yao Elder and asked Yan Jin when the Yan Clan would pay her.
• Yan Jin told Huo Yao Elder to put the seed in the Flame Mountain Heart, surprising the elders and Yao Wan.

Yao Wan completed her exchange with the Yan Clan, separating fire seeds from its five Heavenly Flames in return for the Flame Mountain Heart’s resources and the clan’s support. After resting and planning her next steps, the story shifted to Zi Yan’s transformation on Eastern Dragon Island as she absorbed Dragon Phoenix energy.
