Xiao Yan remained unable to find his missing father and resolved to grow stronger before investigating further. After celebrating Xiao Xianle’s first birthday, Gu Fei agreed to help Zi Yan seek the ancient ruins he had promised her, and the group set out for the Beast Domain.

• Xiao Yan told Yao Lao that months of searching had revealed no trace of Xiao Zhan, and Yao Lao urged him to become stronger before pursuing answers.

• Gu Fei agreed to search for the ruins with Zi Yan, and the group prepared to leave after he informed Xiao Yi Xian and Cai'er.
• Gu Fei and his companions departed the Monster Mountain Range with Lion King as their mount and headed toward the Beast Domain.

Gu Fei and his companions reached the Skeleton Mountain Range, where the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan confronted them. Qing Lin used her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control the clan members, and Heavenly Flame Honored One defeated a Rank 8 python who tried to ambush her.

• Gu Fei led the group into the Skeleton Mountain Range and warned them to conceal their Dou Qi in Nine Serene Earth Python territory.

Gu Fei and his companions searched the Skeleton Mountain Range for Ancient Ruins linked to an ancestor of Zi Yan's clan. With Zhuo Li's help, they found and broke the ruins' Space Seal, but a spatial storm struck the Snake Race experts who rushed toward it.

• Gu Fei's group left the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan's territory and traveled through the forest until they reached the Skeleton Mountain Range.
• Gu Fei told Zi Yan that the Ancient Ruins were connected to an ancestor of her Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and the group began searching the range.

• Snake Race experts rushed toward the newly revealed ruins, but the shattered seal unleashed a spatial storm that swept them away.

Gu Fei led his group through the Dou Saint’s Ancient Ruins, clearing its defenses and guiding them to the Soul Infant Fruit. Zi Yan sensed a greater opportunity and opened a golden barrier, revealing an enormous stone altar.

• Gu Fei led the group into the crimson palace after Zhuo Li scouted the way and avoided its hidden mechanisms.
• Gu Fei destroyed the Earth Demon Puppets guarding a stone gate and led everyone through the halls to a forest filled with medicinal fragrance.
• Zi Yan rushed to pick the Soul Infant Fruit, but a Heavenly Flood Dragon attacked her before Zhuo Li subdued it.
• After taking the fruit, Zi Yan sensed something calling to her, and Gu Fei led the group deeper into the Ancient Forest.
• Zi Yan used her essence blood to open a golden barrier, and the group entered to find a massive stone altar whose pressure stifled Xiao Yi Xian’s Dou Qi.

Gu Fei and his companions discovered the legendary Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Zhuo Li proposed that Zi Yan refine it safely in the Gu Realm. After exploring the ruins, Gu Fei entered the poison-filled Pill Palace alone and emerged carrying a fluffy Pill Beast rabbit.

• Zi Yan and the others reached the altar, where Zhuo Li identified the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit growing from a stone platform surrounded by the remains of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
• Zi Yan thanked Gu Fei for leading her to the fruit, and Zhuo Li warned that she was too weak to refine it safely and that the Three Great Dragon Kings might try to seize it.
• Zhuo Li suggested that Zi Yan accompany Gu Fei to the Gu Realm to refine the fruit away from the Dragon Kings, and Zi Yan agreed.
• Zhuo Li stored the fruit, and Zi Yan opened a crack in the Beast Spirit Barrier so the group could leave and continue searching the ruins.
• Gu Fei entered the poisonous Pill Palace alone and came out holding a fluffy Pill Beast, which he said had the grade of a pill that had survived Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.
• Zi Yan wanted to eat the rabbit, but a childish voice from Xiao Yi Xian's arms told her not to eat the cute bunny.

Gu Fei spared the Pill Beast after Xiao Xianle asked him not to eat it, and the creature joined Xiao Yi Xian and her family. He then entered an ancient hall to claim the Dou Saint Skeleton, where he broke the seals and used Heavenly Flames to refine it before its remaining will could awaken.

• Xiao Xianle asked Gu Fei to spare the Pill Beast, and he agreed; the creature settled in Xiao Yi Xian's arms beside her.
• Gu Fei led the group to a vast ancient hall containing ten sealed light balls and a Dou Saint Skeleton, then explained that the skeleton was the true treasure.
• Gu Fei broke the seals, triggering a scramble for the Heaven Rank Dou Skills and awakening stone-statue puppets that attacked the hall's visitors.
• Gu Fei fought past a puppet and enveloped the Dou Saint Skeleton in Heavenly Flames to refine it before its lingering will could take control.

Gu Fei claimed a Dou Saint's skeleton and learned the Heaven Rank Low-Level Great Heaven Creation Palm from the memory hidden within it. After returning to the Gu Realm with his companions and Elder Zhuo Li, he was greeted by a greatly changed Xun'er.

• Gu Fei destroyed the consciousness inside the Dou Saint Skeleton, stored it, and left the Ancient Ruins with Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and the others.
• Gu Fei refined the skeleton with his Heavenly Flames and tempered his palm with its dark-gold essence, alarming Cai'er, Qing Lin, and the others.

• Xun'er appeared outside Gu Fei's warship and greeted him, radiating confidence.

• Xun'er appeared before the Gu Clan as a Dou Zong, but Gu Fei focused on his daughter, Xiao Xianle, and departed with his companions.

• Gu Fei helped Zi Yan control the granule's energy, raising her cultivation from the early to the late stage of the sixth tier and bringing her close to a breakthrough to Dou Zong.

Gu Fei distributed Dou Saint Bone Marrow Granules to his companions, helping Zi Yan and the others improve their strength. After Zi Yan reached the late seventh tier, she began refining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, raising the Void Ancient Dragon Clan’s hopes for a new era.

• Gu Fei gave Dou Saint Bone Marrow Granules to his companions, and the Lion King eagerly began refining his share.
• Zi Yan broke through to the seventh tier, then persuaded Gu Fei to give her a second granule despite his warning not to rely on them.
• Cai'er, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, the Lion King, and the others completed their refinements, with Qing Lin reaching the Dou Zong realm.
• Zi Yan absorbed her second granule and advanced to the late seventh tier, astonishing everyone with her progress.
• Gu Fei gave Zi Yan the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, which transformed into purple-and-gold liquid and entered her body.
• Zi Yan began absorbing the fruit’s power as Zhuo Li celebrated the prospect of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan’s renewed prosperity.

Gu Fei helped Zi Yan endure the dangerous process of absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and her condition eventually stabilized. Meanwhile, a Lei Clan envoy arrived in the Gu Realm, seeking to arrange a marriage between Lei Dong and Xun'er.

• Zi Yan's body overflowed with Dragon Phoenix Origin energy that began crystallizing, putting her at risk of being trapped or overwhelmed.

• After more than a month, Zi Yan's energy settled, and Gu Fei said she could safely continue her seclusion.
• Seven members of the Lei Clan arrived in the Gu Realm, led by the Half-Saint Lei Dong, to seek Xun'er as his bride.

Lei Dong and the Lei Clan youths belittled the Gu Clan after Lei Dong defeated its young fighters, including Gu Qingyang. Gu Qingyang called on Gu Fei to restore the Gu Clan’s honor, leaving the outcome of a possible fight between Gu Fei and Lei Dong uncertain.

• Lei Clan youths praised Lei Dong and insulted Gu Fei, whom Lei Dong resented as Xun’er’s former husband.

• Lei Dong arrived at the sparring matches and defeated the Gu Clan’s young fighters, including Gu Qingyang.
• Gu Zhen and Gu Yao despaired over the Gu Clan’s losses, and Gu Qingyang suggested that Gu Fei could challenge Lei Dong.

Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang sought Gu Fei to defend the Gu Clan’s honor against Lei Dong, a Half-Saint, but Gu Fei initially refused. As he prepared to face Lei Dong’s provocation, Zi Yan emerged from seclusion transformed and far stronger, declaring that challengers would have to face her first.

• Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang went to Gu Fei and asked him to fight Lei Dong after the Gu Clan’s younger generation lost to the Half-Saint.
• Gu Fei declined, saying he had no interest in competing and was exhausted from refining Dragon Phoenix Crystals for Zi Yan.
• Lei Dong and the Lei Clan disciples arrived and mocked Gu Fei to provoke him into accepting a challenge.

• Xun'er compared Gu Fei's talent favorably to Lei Dong's, and Gu Yuan urged her to treat the Lei Clan guests with respect.
