• Bai Ge took Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu toward the entrance to the third floor to escape the storm.

Bai Ge, Xiao Xun'er, and Xiao Yu fled a devastating Energy Storm across the second floor of the Heavenly Tomb and warned other Dou Di clan members behind them. With the storm closing in and the third-floor light screen sealed by materialized energy, the group joined forces to break through it.

• Bai Ge used the Three Thousand Lightning Movement to flee with Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu as the Energy Storm swept across the second floor.
• Bai Ge warned members of the Lei Clan, Fire Clan, and Ancient Clan, including Gu Qingyang, to run from the approaching storm.
• The fleeing clans reached the materialized light screen leading to the third floor, their only escape from the storm.
• Gu Qingyang and a Lei Clan man struck the light screen, and other clan members joined them to widen a crater and open a passage.
• Bai Ge examined a fragment of the energy crystal and recognized that Ancient Devouring Worms secreted the materialized energy.

Bai Ge realized the Ancient Devouring Worms might restore energy to the world and decided to capture them, but he spotted a deadly threat in the crystal walls. He stopped the group’s excavation and claimed that doing so had saved their lives.

• Bai Ge considered cultivating Ancient Devouring Worms to produce energy and revive the Battle Through the Heavens World, then decided he wanted them.
• Bai Ge used the Silver Eyes of Truth to find countless dormant Ancient Devouring Worms in the energy crystal walls and saw that they were rapidly restoring the passage.

• Bai Ge stopped the group from digging, prompting Gu Yao to accuse him of endangering everyone.
• Xiao Xun'er rebuked Gu Yao, and Bai Ge told the group that he had saved their lives.

Bai Ge revealed that Ancient Devouring Worms inside the energy crystal walls had created the crystals and would devour anyone who broke through without protection. With the Energy Storm approaching, he organized a group effort to open a safe passage using Heavenly Flames and Energy Cores.

• Bai Ge blasted a hole in the crystal wall and forced Gu Yao to look inside, where Gu Yao saw countless insects and panicked.
• Gu Qingyang identified the insects as Ancient Devouring Worms, explaining that they devoured anything and secreted pure energy, making the crystal walls dangerous to break through.
• Bai Ge explained that Heavenly Flames could repel the worms and proposed that he lead the way while Huo Zhi and Yao Xingji held the tunnel walls open and Xiao Xun'er guarded the rear.
• Bai Ge asked everyone to contribute Energy Cores to replenish his strength, and Gu Qingyang persuaded the group to agree.
• Bai Ge, Xiao Xun'er, Huo Zhi, and Yao Xingji took their positions as the group prepared to open the passage.

Bai Ge and the others used Heavenly Flames to burn through the energy crystal wall toward the Heavenly Tomb’s third floor while fighting off swarms of Ancient Devouring Worms. After opening a passage hundreds of meters long, Bai Ge ran low on Dou Qi and asked the Dou Di clan members for Energy Cores, but their supplies were still insufficient.

• Bai Ge summoned the Nine-Colored Glazed Fire and began burning a passage through the energy crystal wall as Xiao Xun'er, Huo Zhi, and Yao Xingji summoned their Heavenly Flames.
• Huo Zhi and Yao Xingji scorched the side walls while Xiao Xun'er burned away Ancient Devouring Worms attacking from behind, and the group saw the flames reduce the worms to ash.
• Bai Ge opened a passage several hundred meters long, but the remaining crystal wall was still over a thousand meters thick and his Dou Qi had fallen below a third.
• Bai Ge asked the Dou Di clan members for Energy Cores, and they handed over most of their supplies while keeping only their highest-quality cores.
• After absorbing the Energy Cores and burning through another section of the wall, Bai Ge said the energy still was not enough.

Bai Ge persuaded the group to surrender more high-grade Energy Cores so he could burn through the energy crystal wall. He secretly acquired the Ancient Devouring Worm Mother, then led everyone onto the Heavenly Tomb’s third floor, where a restriction stopped the pursuing worms from advancing far beyond the passage.

• Bai Ge asked everyone for another Eight-star or Nine-star Dou Zun Energy Core, and Gu Qingyang, the other clan members, and the Lei Clan man handed over their reserves.
• Bai Ge used the Silver Eyes of Truth to steer toward a pale-red crystal hidden in the wall and retrieved the Ancient Devouring Worm Mother inside it.
• The Ancient Devouring Worms grew frenzied after Bai Ge took their mother, increasing the pressure on Xiao Xun'er, Huo Zhi, and Yao Xingji as Bai Ge burned onward.
• Bai Ge shattered the last section of the energy crystal wall with a Nine-Colored Glazed Fire dragon, and the group followed him onto the third floor.
• The Ancient Devouring Worms poured out of the passage but exploded into white dust after traveling only three meters beyond the light screen.

Bai Ge led Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yu across the Heavenly Tomb’s third floor, hunting powerful Energy Bodies as they traveled toward Xiao Xuan. At a stone peak, he confronted the Blood Saber Saint, who tried to flee after realizing Bai Ge was a Dou Sheng, but Bai Ge pulled him back with Spirit Seizing and General Dispatching.

Xiao Xuan urged Xiao Yu to pursue Bai Ge so he could help restore the Xiao Clan, while reassuring her that she was worthy of standing beside Xun Er. He then poured his Bloodline Power into a pool and told Xiao Yu to prepare to enter it.

• Xiao Yu objected to pursuing Bai Ge because he was engaged to Xun Er, but Xiao Xuan argued that Bai Ge could marry them both and could help the Xiao Clan rise again.
• Xiao Xuan explained that he believed Bai Ge had a greater chance of reaching Dou Di than Xun Er and that Xiao Yu needed to deepen her relationship with him for the Xiao Clan's sake.
• Xiao Yu doubted she could compare with Xun Er, so Xiao Xuan told her she was the Xiao Clan's princess and praised her talent despite her lack of Bloodline Power.
• Xiao Xuan poured his Bloodline Power into the pool, turning it into thick crimson liquid, then told Xiao Yu to prepare to enter the blood pool.

Bai Ge hunted energy bodies on the Heavenly Tomb’s third floor, advanced to Three-star Dou Sheng, and refined the Ancient Devouring Worm Mother into a Witch Insect. Meanwhile, Xiao Yu’s bloodline transformation neared completion, leaving her stronger and transformed as Xiao Xuan continued to guide her.

• Xiao Xuan reassured Xiao Yu that she was the princess of the Xiao Clan and began telling her about the Xiao Clan Mark.

Xiao Xuan taught Xiao Yu the final portion of the Heavenly Flame Three-Stage Transformation so she could cultivate the Xiao Clan Mark. After nearly a year of practice, she completed the mark and was ready to leave the Heavenly Tomb with Bai Ge.

• Xiao Xuan explained that the Xiao Clan Mark could be cultivated through secret techniques and gave Xiao Yu the final portion of the Heavenly Flame Three-Stage Transformation.
