After five months of strengthening his ties to Han Shanshan and Xuan Yi and expanding his puppet network, Lin Xuan left the Pill Tower to pursue Hu Jiujiu as Yao Chen’s story began.

• Lin Xuan decided to explore the new continent and persuaded Lin Chou to stay behind; she agreed after he promised to report to her once a month.

Lin Xuan crossed a barrier separating the Dou Qi Continent from a newly appeared continent and discovered that it was the Douluo Continent. After the Infinity Stones’ power on him vanished and he became a child, he contacted Lin Chou to reassure her.

• Lin Xuan sent Lin Chou back to the Yao Clan, then used the Space Ancestral Talisman to cross a barrier that blocked his Emperor-tier soul power.
• A seven-colored rune appeared on Lin Xuan’s wrist and opened doors through the barrier, allowing him to travel between the continents.
• Several Half-Emperors and Dou Emperors arrived at the barrier, concluded that Lin Xuan’s cultivation surpassed a God King’s, and set out to find him.
• Lin Xuan teleported to a forest where plants and animals possessed cultivation, and the power of Lin Chou’s Infinity Stones faded, turning him into a nine-year-old child.
• Lin Xuan recognized the strange grass as Blue Silver Grass and realized the new continent was the Douluo Continent.
• Lin Xuan discovered the barrier had blocked the Infinity Stones’ power and used a secret technique to contact Lin Chou.

After discovering that Blue Silver Grass was protecting a particular spot, Lin Xuan followed it there and found a girl pretending to be unconscious. He suspected she was a young transformed Hundred Thousand Years soul beast and stayed beside her, unaware she was watching him to learn about humans.

• Lin Xuan used his soul power to investigate the Blue Silver Grass and noticed a patch driving animals away from a certain area.

• The girl pretended to faint on Lin Xuan's path, and Lin Xuan found her among unusually powerful Blue Silver Grass.
• Lin Xuan gave the girl water and waited for her to wake, suspecting she was a juvenile transformed Hundred Thousand Years soul beast.

Lin Xuan cared for an apparently unconscious girl by making her a comfortable place and grilling magical beast meat, which tempted her into revealing that she was awake. After sharing food and ice cream, she introduced herself as Ah Yin, and Lin Xuan realized he had arrived in the Douluo Continent decades before the main story began.

• Lin Xuan laid the girl on a comfortable spot and started grilling magical beast meat while waiting for her to wake up.
• The smell and sound of Lin Xuan eating drove the supposedly unconscious girl to sit up, snatch his meat, and devour it.

• The girl introduced herself as Ah Yin, and Lin Xuan recognized her as the Blue Silver Emperor and Tang San's mother.
• Lin Xuan gave Ah Yin his name and asked how she had ended up in the forest, while she considered what excuse to give him.

Lin Xuan and Ah Yin built a cabin in the Star Dou Great Forest and began living together while concealing their true identities. That night, Ah Yin joined Lin Xuan on the roof as he gazed at the stars and thought of his mother.

• Ah Yin claimed that enemies had killed her parents and chased her into the forest, while Lin Xuan pretended to believe her.
• Lin Xuan decided to build a cabin with Ah Yin and hide the house stored in his system inventory so she would not suspect him.
• Lin Xuan and Ah Yin gathered wood and finished a three-room cabin after seven shichen.
• Lin Xuan placed Luminous Pearls around the cabin, gave Ah Yin two, and took snacks outside to sit on the roof.
• Ah Yin used Blue Silver Grass to guard the cabin, then flew up to sit beside Lin Xuan and look at the night sky.

Lin Xuan comforted Ah Yin about missing home by promising they would be family, then spent the night embracing her. The next morning he stole Ah Yin’s first kiss, and she sent him to prepare food while she remembered it.

• Ah Yin offered to be Lin Xuan’s family and told him that wherever she was could be his home, and he promised to protect her.
• Ah Yin asked Lin Xuan about the human world, and he told her stories until she fell asleep against his shoulder.
• Lin Xuan carried Ah Yin to his room, covered the Luminous Pearl, and fell asleep holding her; Ah Yin woke briefly and hugged him back.
• Lin Xuan kissed Ah Yin when they woke, and she pushed him away, blushing and saying it had been her first kiss.
• Ah Yin’s stomach growled, so she ordered Lin Xuan to make her something delicious, and he left to prepare food.

Ah Yin and Lin Xuan shared breakfast at the wooden house before she led him to a cave hot spring near the pond. Lin Xuan suspected Ah Yin had already known about the spring, but agreed to use it despite suggesting a powerful soul beast might guard it.

• Ah Yin got out of bed and joined Lin Xuan for breakfast, where he gave her the larger portion and later shared snacks.
• Lin Xuan said he wanted to look for a place to bathe, and Ah Yin offered to take him to a pond she knew.
• Ah Yin led Lin Xuan around the Blue Silver Grass for half an hour before reaching the pond and pretending to discover the nearby cave hot spring.
• Lin Xuan suggested a powerful soul beast might guard the spring, but Ah Yin insisted they should still bathe there.

Lin Xuan teased Ah Yin at the cave’s hot spring, then used his Spiritual Sense to watch her bathe while pretending to sleep. After they both fell asleep, he changed, left a new set of clothes for Ah Yin, and went to wash their clothes.

• Lin Xuan stripped and jumped into the hot spring, splashing Ah Yin and secretly making her slip into the water with ice.
• Lin Xuan offered to cover his eyes, and Ah Yin tied her sash over them before bathing while keeping watch on him.
• Lin Xuan used his Spiritual Sense to observe Ah Yin, then closed his eyes as she watched him with Blue Silver Grass.
• Ah Yin relaxed when she thought Lin Xuan had fallen asleep, bathed, and eventually fell asleep herself.
• Lin Xuan woke, stopped the Blue Silver Grass from monitoring him, changed clothes, left Ah Yin a new outfit, and carried their clothes outside to wash them.
