I blasted through the golden gate guarding the Dou Sheng Relic and discovered an ancient bronze coffin in the underground hall. The hall’s restriction then sent a pillar of light into the sky as the Great Bliss Saint announced that his inheritance had opened.

The protagonist discovered that Shen Yun had lured him into the Hong Clan’s underground trap, where a Silver Urine Snake poisoned him and the gates blocked his escape. He began digging toward an underground river to flee Heavenly North City, while above ground Hong Xiaotian destroyed the Han Clan’s Asura Corpse and noticed something had disappeared.

Nalan survived Hong Xiaotian’s attack with Qing Lin’s help, and they killed the Three Star Dou Zong together. As they descended to a safer place, Nalan discovered he had no antidote for his poison, while Qing Lin recounted gaining a Venerable’s inheritance; the chapter ended with him asking her for a kiss to ease his pain.

• Qing Lin arrived with the Black Water Mysterious Yin Snake and ordered it to attack Hong Xiaotian, who tried to flee through the pool.
• The snake trapped and battered Hong Xiaotian, while Nalan recovered enough strength to strike him with a Fleeting Thunderclap, letting the snake kill and swallow him.
• Qing Lin took Nalan deeper into the pool, where he searched Hong Xiaotian’s Ring of Holding but found no Golden Excrement Silver Urine Snake gallbladder to cure his poison.

• Nalan learned Qing Lin’s cultivation had risen to Four Star Dou Emperor and asked her to kiss his cheek to help ease his pain.

Nalan and Qing Lin returned to the underground inheritance cavern and discovered a vast forest of Silver Moon Spirit Mushrooms, including a rare mushroom king. Shen Yun revealed that the king might be connected to the Golden Excrement Silver Urine Snake’s incurable poison, but ended by questioning whether it could really cure it.

Poisoned by the Golden Excrement Silver Urine Snake, the narrator searched the Silver Moon Spirit Mushroom Forest for an Earth Horse, an ancient beast said to cure every poison. Qing Lin led him to a pool of Nine Earth Sovereign Spirit Liquid where a tiny creature matching his description had bathed, leaving him hopeful that the Earth Horse was nearby.

• Qing Lin showed him a pool of Nine Earth Sovereign Spirit Liquid where the creature had bathed.
• The narrator recognized the pool's tiny hoofprints as possible Earth Horse tracks.

While recovering from severe injuries, the narrator set bait to draw the elusive Earth Horse out of the Mushroom Forest. In Heavenly North City, the Han Family’s defeat ended with Han Chi sacrificing himself to cover his family’s escape and Han Yue being killed by Hong Li.

• The narrator collected the Nine Earth Sovereign Spirit Liquid, left some beside the Silver Moon Spirit Mushroom King as bait, and began treating his injuries while Qing Lin watched for the Earth Horse.
• After the Han Family’s elders and fighters began losing ground, Han Chi ordered them to flee and burned his blood, Dou Qi, and soul to reach the Dou Zong level.
• Han Duo absorbed the battlefield’s blood to become a Half-Step Dou Zong and engaged Han Chi while Hong Li led other Hong Clan Elders around them to pursue the fleeing Han Family members.
• Han Yue pushed Han Xue to escape, then faced Hong Li alone; he blocked four strikes of Severing Head Seven Slashes before Hong Li’s fifth strike killed her.

Han Yue was killed in the battle between the Hong and Han Clans, but three Dou Zong powerhouses disrupted Hong Li’s pursuit of Han Xue while seeking the rumored Dou Sheng Inheritance. Meanwhile, the narrator recovered underground, met the Black Water Mysterious Yin Snake, and found the Earth Horse in the Silver Moon Spirit Mushroom Forest.

Hoping to rescue Hong Zhuer and obtain the ingredients, he headed for the Wind and Lightning North Pavilion’s mountain gate and tried to recruit Shen Yun to help him break in.

• The narrator knocked out the Jade Hand Fairy Doctor, took the Jade Well Earth Horse Pill recipe, and returned her Ring of Holding while leaving behind a Silver Moon Spirit Mushroom.

• The narrator showed Shen Yun the Wind and Lightning North Pavilion’s mountain gate and asked him to betray the pavilion and help break in.

• Yuan Fei led Ye Fan and Shen Yun to Lan Mo, who agreed to help them take control of the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Formation.
• Shen Yun warned that seizing the puppet could alert Fei Tian, so Ye Fan assigned Yuan Fei to distract Lin Feng while Lan Mo activated the formation for a coordinated attack.

Ye Fan broke into the Wind and Lightning North Pavilion’s Scripture Pavilion, took its prized techniques, and arranged for Yuan Fei to claim the Fire Cloud Evil God puppet. As Fei Tian raced toward Qifeng Mountain, Ye Fan joined the plan to create chaos and attack Lin Feng.

• Ye Fan used Shen Yun’s elder token to enter the restricted Scripture Pavilion and took more than a dozen techniques, including the Heaven Rank Black Lightning Sect Codex and Gentle Wind Sect Codex.
• Ye Fan let Yuan Fei refine the Fire Cloud Evil God with Shen Yun’s help, and Shen Yun warned that erasing Fei Tian’s imprint had alerted him.

• As Lin Feng rushed from the hall, Ye Fan released Shen Yun and the Fire Cloud Evil God, then attacked Lin Feng from behind.

I looted the Wind and Lightning North Pavilion’s treasury and fled Qifeng Mountain with Qing Lin and Black Water Profound Yin as Fei Tian returned. Lan Mo unleashed the damaged Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Formation against us, but I survived and escaped its range before Black Water Profound Yin carried us away.

• Qing Lin and Black Water Profound Yin arrived after Lin Feng’s death, and I led them to raid the pavilion treasury with Shen Yun’s Elder token disabling its restrictions.
• Yuan Fei and Fire Cloud Evil God confronted me as I left, but I returned Shen Yun’s soul when Lan Mo warned that Fei Tian was approaching.
• Lan Mo used the formation’s control token to unleash one final lightning attack, and I shielded Qing Lin and Black Water Profound Yin while fleeing down the mountain.
• After I escaped the formation’s range, Fei Tian appeared, so Black Water Profound Yin carried us away while Yuan Fei, Lan Mo, Shen Yun, and Fire Cloud Evil God fled by boat.

Fei Tian returned to Qifeng Mountain and discovered that Shen Yun and outsiders had destroyed the Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Formation, stolen Fire Cloud Evil God, and plundered the pavilion. He split into two with his Three Thousand Thunderous Illusory Body, sending his clone after the narrator’s group as they fled underground on the Black Water Mysterious Yin Snake.
