Wei Yang’s group reached the Skeleton Mountain Range, where factions had gathered to compete for the Ancient Ruins and its rumored Heaven Tier Dou Technique.

• Wei Yang met Xiao Yan and Zi Yan after they returned from searching for the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which Xiao Yan had not found.

• The Nine Nether Earth Python Tribe searched for a missing Peak Six-star Dou Venerate and Seven-star Dou Venerate, and news of their disappearance alarmed the crowd.
• People speculated that a Saint-level Expert had attacked the tribe as the crowd grew and two more days passed.

Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and their companions reached the Bone Sea as the seal over the Ancient Ruins began to break. When the ruins opened, they retreated in time, while a spatial storm swept through the crowd rushing inside.

• Wei Yang led Xiao Yan and their companions toward the center of the Skeleton Mountain Range, where they found the Bone Sea and the distorted space sealing the Ancient Ruins.

• The Space Seal shattered, and the eager crowd surged toward the ruins.
• Wei Yang and his companions retreated as a violent spatial storm erupted, swallowing many of the people who had charged ahead.

Wei Yang and the others crossed the Bone Sea after a Space Storm killed more than half of the rushing experts, then gathered outside a vast crimson hall revealed to be a Dou Saint’s tomb. As the factions waited for someone else to enter first, Xiao Yan recognized Feng Qing’er of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and prepared for possible trouble.

• A Space Storm swept through the Bone Sea, killing more than half of the experts who had rushed ahead while Ah Da shielded Wei Yang and his companions from the aftershock.
• Wei Yang led Xiao Yan and the others into the Bone Sea, where they spotted a colossal crimson hall and cautiously stopped outside its entrance with the other surviving factions.
• Wei Yang told Xiao Yan that the ruins were likely a Dou Saint’s tomb and that the Dou Saint’s remains might be inside.
• Xiao Yan sensed a hostile gaze, recognized Feng Qing’er, and told Wei Yang he had a little bad blood with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and the others waited outside the Dou Saint ruins while Feng Qing'er and the white-haired man discussed Xiao Yan's strength. After the entrance opened, eager experts rushed inside and were killed by the ruins' magma and blue flames.

• The white-haired man warned Feng Qing'er not to provoke Xiao Yan or his companions, and she acknowledged his caution.
• Tang Huo'er and Tang Zhen arrived, and Xiao Yan introduced Wei Yang, who discussed his connection to Burning Flame Valley through the Nine Dragon Fire Control Technique.
• The crimson stone gate opened, and many experts rushed into the dark passage while Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and their companions stayed behind.
• The passage filled with magma and blue flames, killing the people who had charged inside.

Wei Yang, Tang Zhen, and Xiao Yan entered the deadly Fire Path protected by their Heavenly Flames and raced past struggling experts. As the path continued without an end in sight, Wei Yang collected its strange blue flames to study later.

• After the passage claimed more victims, powerful experts used their Dou Qi to resist the flames and head inside.
• Tang Zhen led the Burning Flame Valley group into the Fire Path protected by the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, while Wei Yang and Xiao Yan followed with their own flames protecting their companions.
• Wei Yang's black sun and Xiao Yan's purple-brown fire dragon passed struggling experts as they advanced through the scorching path.
• Experts recognized the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame, and envied their owners.
• Wei Yang examined the blue flames that melted Dou Qi, then gathered and sealed some in a jade bottle for later study.

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan discovered that the endless Fire Path was a decoy and entered the ruins by diving beneath the magma. They reached a plaza where ten Earth Demon Puppets were fighting an old man in gray robes, while their search for the Soul Infant Fruit lay ahead.

• Wei Yang collected some of the strange blue flame and continued along the Fire Path with his companions.
• Xiao Yan realized the Fire Path was a trap, and Wei Yang agreed that the real route lay beneath the magma.
• Wei Yang and Xiao Yan's group descended through the magma and passed into a hidden space beneath the Fire Path.
• The group followed a stone passage toward a plaza, with Wei Yang reminding them that finding the Soul Infant Fruit was their priority.
• Wei Yang's group arrived at the plaza, where ten Earth Demon Puppets battled an old man in gray robes.

Xiao Yan watched ten Earth Demon Puppets combine their strength to transform one of their number into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, then subdued and claimed them. Once the stone gate opened, Wei Yang led Xiao Yan and the others into the ruins, and the remaining explorers followed after waiting for signs of danger.

• Wei Yang and the others watched as a gray-robed Dou Venerate fought the ten Earth Demon Puppets guarding the stone gate.
• The puppets formed a formation that transferred energy to their leader, turning it into a Heavenly Demon Puppet that injured the gray-robed elder.
• Xiao Yan subdued the ten puppets and stored them in his Storage Ring while the crowd watched enviously.
• The stone gate opened, releasing an ancient aura, and Xiao Yan returned to Wei Yang rather than entering first.
• Wei Yang entered the ruins, followed by Xiao Yan and the others, and the rest of the crowd rushed in after waiting for a while.

Wei Yang and his companions followed Zi Yan to a hidden herb storehouse inside the ancient hall and discovered a vast forest of rare medicinal herbs. They concealed the entrance and began exploring the treasure trove, hoping to keep it hidden from the other factions.

• Zi Yan followed a faint medicinal scent through the hall’s corridors while Wei Yang and the others ignored the low-grade techniques found in a pavilion and continued toward the Soul Infant Fruit.
• Zi Yan led the group to an ancient stone door where the medicinal scent was strongest, and Xiao Yan opened it after checking for traps.
• Wei Yang had Ah Da seal the escaping fragrance, and Xiao Yan sent an Earth Demon Puppet through the crack to check that the room was safe.
• Wei Yang and Ah Da concealed the stone door with Spatial Power while Xiao Yan, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan entered, then the door shut and disappeared from view.
• The group found an enormous forest made entirely of rare medicinal herbs, and Xiao Yan and Wei Yang discussed how long their concealed entrance might remain undiscovered.

Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and their companions explored the Ancient Medicinal Herb Forest, where Zi Yan eagerly devoured its medicinal plants. Zi Yan led them to the Soul Infant Fruit, and they found a strange silver-gray tree on an island in the middle of a lake.

• Zi Yan stuffed herself with lingzhi mushrooms while Wei Yang and Xiao Yan decided to search for the Soul Infant Fruit and gather rare herbs.
• Wei Yang warned the group that powerful ancient Magical Beasts inhabited the forest, but Zi Yan charged ahead, confident in her strength as an Ancient Void Dragon.
• The group traveled through the forest, and the Magical Beasts they encountered left them alone.
• Wei Yang sensed that others had entered the forest through another entrance, so he urged everyone to find the Soul Infant Fruit quickly.
• Zi Yan detected the Soul Infant Fruit and led the group to a lake, where they spotted a peculiar silver-gray tree on a small island, its branches resembling a pregnant woman.

Xiao Yan and his companions discovered that a Sky-Penetrating Flood Dragon guarded the Soul Infant Fruit Tree, but Zi Yan's royal Ancient Void Dragon bloodline subdued it. After Xiao Yan traded the beast medicinal pills and Form Transformation Grass for the fruits, Wei Yang and Xiao Yan collected the two Soul Infant Fruits, leaving Wei Yang with one for a future breakthrough attempt.

• Zi Yan warned that a magical beast would guard the Soul Infant Fruit Tree, and her attack on the lake drew out a Sky-Penetrating Flood Dragon.
• Zi Yan's purple dragon form overwhelmed the flood dragon with her royal bloodline, and it reluctantly agreed to give up the fruits.
• Xiao Yan offered the flood dragon body-tempering medicinal pills and Form Transformation Grass, which it accepted before returning to the lake.
• Xiao Yan and Wei Yang found two Soul Infant Fruits and discussed their value for restoring soul origin and reaching the Heaven Realm.
• Wei Yang asked for one fruit to use in a future breakthrough attempt, and Xiao Yan agreed before Wei Yang fashioned wooden boxes from the tree's branches to store them.

After securing the Soul Infant Fruit, Wei Yang and the others followed Zi Yan’s bloodline summons into the ancient forest. They found a powerful Beast Spirit Barrier, which Zi Yan believed had been left behind by a mighty magical beast, likely another Ancient Void Dragon.

• Wei Yang and Xiao Yan stored the Soul Infant Fruits after cutting them from the branches.
• Zi Yan sensed something calling to her, and Wei Yang agreed to follow her deeper into the forest.
• Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, Ah Da, and Qing Lin advanced through the forest as its powerful magical beasts withdrew from their group.
• Zi Yan led the group into an area where the surrounding auras and sounds had vanished, then revealed a golden barrier.
• Zi Yan identified the golden barrier as a Beast Spirit Barrier and suggested its owner was likely an Ancient Void Dragon.

Zi Yan opened a Beast Spirit Barrier and led Xiao Yan and the others to an altar where they discovered a legendary Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. They learned that an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix had been buried beneath the altar to nourish it.

• Zi Yan sensed both Ancient Void Dragon and Heaven Demon Phoenix auras in the barrier and opened it with her blood.
• Wei Yang ordered Ah Da to guard the entrance as Zi Yan, Xiao Yan, Wei Yang, and the others entered the barrier.
• The group crossed a crimson plain and climbed an ancient altar whose pressure slowed their Dou Qi.
• Zi Yan identified the golden-and-purple fruit on the altar as a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, the sixth recorded to exist.
• Zi Yan and the others saw that the bones of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix encircled the plain, with the altar at its center.

Zi Yan claimed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Wei Yang sealed it from detection while warning her not to tell her clan. Before leaving the Ancient Ruins, Wei Yang decided to destroy the site and help Zi Yan take her clan elder’s skeleton, while worrying about finding Qing Lin’s Ancient Heavenly Snake Soul.

• Zi Yan absorbed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit into her body, where it appeared as a pattern in her palm.
• Wei Yang added a Soul Power seal that concealed the fruit, and told Zi Yan to keep it secret until he could help her deal with it later.
• Wei Yang remembered that Qing Lin’s Ancient Heavenly Snake Soul was likely somewhere in an ancient mountain range in the Central Plains, not in the Ancient Ruins.
• Wei Yang decided to destroy the Beast Spirit Barrier and the crimson plain so no one could discover the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
• Zi Yan asked Wei Yang to take her clan elder’s skeleton home for burial, and Wei Yang agreed before removing the small tree from the stone pool and spreading his Soul Power through the ruins.

Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and the others witnessed the Ancient Void Dragon’s remnant soul defeat the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix’s remnant soul. Zi Yan promised to return her ancestor’s bones to the Dragon Tomb, while Wei Yang collected the phoenix’s soul fragments and sealed them for Ah Da.

• The two ancient skeletons rose from the plain, and their remnant souls emerged as a golden Heavenly Phoenix and a purple Ancient Void Dragon.
• The Ancient Void Dragon overwhelmed the Heavenly Phoenix in their battle, crushing its remnant soul into golden fragments.
• Zi Yan flew to the surviving dragon and promised to bring her ancestor’s bones back to the Dragon Tomb.
• The dragon returned to its skeleton, and Wei Yang gathered the golden soul fragments into a Soul Light Cluster and sealed it for Ah Da.

Wei Yang and his companions collected the Saint-level skeletons, destroyed the Beast Spirit Barrier, and emerged into the ancient forest. There, Ah Da drove off the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members who demanded the remains of their clansman, while leaving them alive to guard the area.

• Wei Yang refused Xiao Yan's request to use the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's Saint Bone wings, then stored the skeleton in a spatial sphere as Zi Yan collected the Ancient Void Dragon skeleton.
• Wei Yang burned the altar and the area within the Beast Spirit Barrier, causing the weakened barrier to collapse and reveal the ancient forest.
• The black-robed elder of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan confronted Ah Da and demanded to know where Wei Yang was, claiming his clan's bloodline sensed a fallen clansman inside the barrier.
• Ah Da rebuked the elder for threatening his master and attacked him with Space Cracks.
• The elder was wounded and fled with Feng Qing'er, Feng Xuan, and the other clan members; Ah Da let them go so he could continue guarding the area.

Wei Yang and his companions left the ancient forest after collecting rare medicinal herbs, while Feng Qing’er’s group returned to the Magma Lake and suspected the remains they sought belonged to an ancient expert above the Dou Zun realm. Back in the ruins, Wei Yang led the group deeper into the great hall in search of its true treasures.

• Ah Da reported that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan had retreated, and Wei Yang led Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, and the others toward the center of the ruins to seek a Heaven Tier Dou Technique.
• Wei Yang’s group gathered rare medicinal herbs as they crossed the forest, then hurried toward the exit after hearing distant fighting and beast roars.
• Feng Qing’er and her group returned to the Magma Lake, found the area destroyed, and concluded that Wei Yang had taken the remains of an ancient expert above the Dou Zun realm.
• Wei Yang’s group left the forest through the stone door and returned to the corridor, where the door concealed itself among the surrounding walls.
• Wei Yang led the group farther down the corridor toward the center of the great hall.

Wei Yang and his group searched the ancient Pill Hall, where they found dangerous poison and encountered Ah Da wielding the Nine Nether Wind Flame. They reached the richly appointed third floor, where powerful cultivators cautiously searched for treasures.

• Wei Yang followed the scent of pills to the Pill Hall and led the group inside, finding its first floor already ransacked.
• Wei Yang and Xiao Yan sensed poison on the second floor, where several people had died, and Wei Yang gave Zi Yan an antidote pill.
• Xiao Yan recognized the Nine Nether Wind Flame surrounding Ah Da and learned that Wei Yang had given him the Heavenly Flame.
• Wei Yang and his group found only low-grade pills on the second floor before moving up to the third floor.
• Wei Yang warned Zi Yan that the third floor’s concentrated poison could corrode Dou Qi, as the group saw powerful cultivators searching warily.

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan discovered a transformed ancient pill in the ruins, a spiritual treasure close to Grade 9. The group realized its immense value and the danger of letting other experts learn about it.

• Wei Yang and Xiao Yan searched several pill chambers, collecting an ancient seventh-tier pill formula and a bottle of unidentified Grade 7 pills.
• The group entered a narrow, already-ransacked chamber and found a plump white beast that seemed to have no energy.
• Wei Yang recognized the beast as a transformed pill, and Xiao Yan judged that it had once endured eight-colored or Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.
• Wei Yang explained that the pill was close to Grade 9 and could tempt powerful Dou Zun experts with its vast energy.
• Wei Yang gave Ah Da a meaningful look, and Ah Da stepped outside and shut the chamber door.
