Xin Lan completed her Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melting Pill with Bai Ge’s help, and its thunderclouds revealed Five-Colored Pill Lightning, leaving the championship outcome poised to change.

• Old Monster Qing Hua refined an eighth-grade Pill that triggered Three-Colored Pill Lightning, but Old Man Mu Gu surpassed him with Four-Colored Pill Lightning and claimed to represent the Soul Hall.
• Xuan Kongzi and Heavenly Thunder Child reacted angrily to Mu Gu’s revelation, while Xuan Yi asked Bai Ge for a way to prevent him from winning.

• Xin Lan finished refining the Pill, which first triggered Four-Colored Pill Lightning and then revealed a fifth, purple color as Mu Gu watched in disbelief.

Xin Lan refined an Eighth-grade Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melting Pill and used a protective token from Bai Ge to survive its Five-Colored Pill Lightning. After Xuan Kongzi called for the pills to be ranked, the contestants activated their medicinal properties, and their Energy Pillars began revealing their relative strength.

• Bai Ge told Xin Lan that Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire was intelligent and instructed her on how to act when it entered its Origin Flame form.

• Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire separated from its body in Origin Flame form and prepared to escape the Star Domain.

Xin Lan revealed that Bai Ge had been hiding in her storage ring, and he confronted Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire to take some of its origin flame. He trapped the Heavenly Flame in the Eight Trigrams Blazing Fire Formation, where eight fire beasts overwhelmed it.

• Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire demanded the five Heavenly Flame origins inside Xin Lan’s Seven Birds Five Fires Fan and threatened to leave her stranded in the Star Domain.

• Bai Ge summoned eight fire beasts to form the Eight Trigrams Blazing Fire Formation around Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire.
• The eight fire beasts attacked together, leaving Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire badly outmatched.

• The Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire detonated its body and charged Bai Ge in its source flame form, but Bai Ge used the Dragon Seal to erase its spiritual will.
• Bai Ge transformed into Eight-Colored Glazed Fire and devoured the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire with the Burning Art.
• The devouring took a little over half a day and turned Bai Ge's fire into Nine-Colored Glazed Fire, allowing him to break through four minor realms and gain the ability to absorb stellar power.
• Bai Ge told Xin Lan he would help her devour the first strand of the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire's essence using her Myriad Beast Phoenix Devouring Fire.

Bai Ge tried to help Xin Lan absorb a wisp of the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire’s source by guiding it into her body during dual cultivation. When the process proved too slow, he prepared to use his Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to speed it up.

• Bai Ge explained that he could safely split a Heavenly Flame’s source because he had become the flame, and that dual cultivation let him guide Xin Lan’s Dou Qi.
• Bai Ge placed the Bodhi Seed beside them and began dual cultivating with Xin Lan so she could absorb the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire’s source.
• Bai Ge split off a small wisp of the source and transmitted it into Xin Lan’s body through their yin-yang circulation.
• Xin Lan used the Heavenly Phoenix Devouring Fire Art to absorb the wisp, while Bai Ge’s Dou Qi shielded her from its resistance.
• Bai Ge saw that the process would take too long and decided to use his Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

While his Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body pretended to mourn her disappearance in Sacred Pill City, Bai Ge sensed Xin Lan near the Star Domain's exit.

• Bai Ge used his Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and a Bodhi Seed to speed up Xin Lan's absorption of the Three Thousand Yan Flame Fire's origin.

• Bai Ge took Xin Lan, Cao Ying, and Xuan Yi back to Bai Di Sect, where Yao Chen still struggled with how to face Xuan Yi.
• Over two years, Bai Ge advanced to the seventh transformation of peak Dou Zun, while Little Doctor Immortal, Yun Yun, Qing Lin, and Yao Chen also strengthened their cultivation.
• The Ancient Relic in the Beast Region appeared, containing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and a Dou Sheng Skeleton.

Bai Ge learned that an Ancient Relic had appeared in the Beast Region and decided to explore it, dismissing the usual rumors that it contained a Heaven-tier Fighting Skill. After making plans to defend Bai Di Sect and gathering his companions, he prepared to depart with Zi Yan.

• A Bai Di Sect elder reported that an Ancient Relic passage had appeared in the Beast Region, and Bai Ge said he would go after waiting for an ally.
• Bai Ge reasoned that Ancient Relics often contained powerful skills but were not guaranteed to hold Heaven-tier Fighting Skills.
• Bai Ge arranged for Yao Chen and his Three Thousand Lightning Phantom Body to guard Bai Di Sect while Xuan Yi remained there as a guest Teacher.

• Three days later, the Space Wormhole began forming, and Bai Ge led the women to a hill overlooking the gathered factions.
• Tang Zhen greeted Bai Ge, while Tang Huo'er happily waved to him.

Bai Ge and the other cultivators entered the newly emerged Ancient Relic after its unstable Space Passage unleashed a deadly spatial storm. The crimson palace opened its main gate, and Bai Ge led the women inside after Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er went ahead.

Bai Ge led the women through a hidden route past the Ancient Relic’s deadly passage and reached a plaza guarded by ten Earth Demon Puppets. He explained that the puppets could evolve by absorbing pill lightning and planned to bring them back for Xin Lan and Cao Ying.

• A crowd triggered magma and blue-flame traps in the passage, while Bai Ge protected the women with the Nine-Colored Glazed Fire.
• Bai Ge led the women through a magma opening into a concealed passage beneath the false route.
• Bai Ge and the women reached a plaza and found ten Earth Demon Puppets before a stone gate.
• Bai Ge explained that the puppets could absorb pill lightning and evolve from peak Dou Zong strength to Dou Zun strength.
• Yun Yun suggested giving the puppets to Xin Lan and Cao Ying, and Bai Ge said he had already planned to do so.

Bai Ge erased the Soul Marks in ten Earth Demon Puppets and led his companions deeper into the Ancient Relic. Following Zi Yan’s nose, they discovered a vast forest of rare medicinal ingredients, and Bai Ge took her farther in to explore.

• Bai Ge erased the Soul Marks in the ten Earth Demon Puppets and stored them away without claiming control of them.
• Bai Ge led Little Doctor Immortal and the other women through the stone gate into a vast hall, while the Thunder Venerable of the Wind Thunder Pavilion arrived at the plaza behind them.

• Bai Ge opened the gate and revealed a forest filled with rare medicinal ingredients, astonishing everyone.
• Bai Ge gave storage rings to Little Doctor Immortal and the other women to gather ingredients, then took Zi Yan deeper into the forest.

Bai Ge and Zi Yan discovered a hidden Beast Spirit Barrier in the medicinal herb forest and entered a barren plain containing an ancient altar. There, Zi Yan found and sealed a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, while Bai Ge worried the remaining tree could reveal their discovery.
