Liu Xi, Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yao Tianhuo entered the Beast Region and traveled through the void to follow Zi Yan’s Ancient Dragon bloodline. They encountered Hei Qing, who recognized Zi Yan as a member of the Ancient Dragon Clan and welcomed her back.

• Liu Xi and the others arrived at the Beast Region’s border, where Zi Yan sensed several related bloodlines calling from the void.
• Liu Xi chose to follow the weakest bloodline sensation so the other Ancient Dragon branches would not learn of their arrival.

• A voice challenged the group, then a massive black dragon appeared and transformed into a burly man who approached Zi Yan.
• Liu Xi stopped Yao Tianhuo from intervening, and the man introduced himself as Hei Qing and welcomed Zi Yan back to the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Zi Yan reached the Ancient Dragon Clan’s island with Liu Xi, Yao Tianhuo, and Xiao Yi Xian, but challenged the clan over abandoning her. The Third Elder, Zhu Li, welcomed her and offered to explain the complicated past, then asked her companions to leave while he discussed clan secrets.

• Hei Qing offered to take Zi Yan to Dragon Island and promised the clan would provide for her, but Liu Xi said they only wanted to ensure her safety and growth.

• Hei Qing led them across the island to meet the Third Elder, where Zi Yan asked why the clan had abandoned her to survive alone.
• The Third Elder, Zhu Li, said the matter was complicated and offered to explain, then thanked Zi Yan’s companions and asked them to excuse themselves while he discussed clan secrets.

Zi Yan learned about her origins and the Ancient Dragon Clan’s divided state, leaving her uncertain about her responsibilities. After Liu Xi urged her to grow stronger before choosing her path, she resolved to become the Dragon Emperor, and Zhu Li promised to help her cultivate.

• Liu Xi joked that Zi Yan should unite the Beast World and rule the Beast Region after becoming Dragon Emperor, and Zi Yan agreed to protect him.

Zhu Li and Qi You brought Zi Yan and her companions to the Ancient Dragon Blood Pool so she could undergo a bloodline baptism. The baptism began with Zi Yan sealed inside a crimson cocoon, while the two elders paid a heavy price to initiate it.

• Qi You pledged to help Zi Yan become Dragon Emperor, and Zi Yan vowed to unite the dragon clan and rule the Beast Region.
• Zhu Li allowed Liu Xi, Yao Tianhuo, and Xiao Yi Xian to accompany them to the Ancient Dragon Blood Pool.
• Zhu Li and Qi You teleported the group to an underground palace where spiritual liquid flowed into a central lake from eight Ancient Dragon statues.
• Zi Yan entered the pool as Zhu Li and Qi You warned her to guard her mind and explained that the baptism would strengthen her bloodline.
• Zhu Li and Qi You used their blood and hand seals to form a crimson web around Zi Yan, which absorbed the rising spiritual liquid and became a cocoon.

Zi Yan entered her blood pool baptism, and Zhu Li asked Liu Xi and his companions to keep her return secret. Liu Xi chose to stay on Dragon Island and entered a sealed chamber to prepare for a breakthrough to two-star Dou Zong.

• Zhu Li and Qi You completed Zi Yan’s blood-red cocoon and sank it into the blood pool, then Qi You left the hall.
• Zhu Li warned Liu Xi, Yao Tianhuo, and Xiao Yi Xian to keep Zi Yan’s return secret, testing them with his pressure before apologizing.

Liu Xi risked his Spiritual Power by attempting to refine the Green Lotus Core Flame in his mental world, using the Soul Devouring Method and principles from the Flame Mantra. The flame took root as an azure fire lotus, but Liu Xi’s consciousness was drawn inside it, leaving his condition unclear.

• Liu Xi broke through to Two-Star Dou Zong and decided he needed a faster path to strength.
• Liu Xi entered his mental world and used Soul Control to bring the Green Lotus Core Flame’s flame-seed origin into it.
• Liu Xi began refining the flame origin with his soul, enduring intense pain as the Green Flame consumed more than half his Spiritual Power.
• The refinement succeeded, and an azure fire lotus formed within Liu Xi, sharing his aura.
• The fire lotus drew Liu Xi’s illusory figure into itself and absorbed the scattered Spiritual Power and spiritual glimmers in his mental world.

After more than a year unconscious, Liu Xi restored his Spiritual Power by merging with the Green Lotus Core Flame, then devoured the Sea Heart Flame and Fallen Heart Flame to strengthen his soul. He awakened a divine Original Self distinct from his human True Self, leaving the two as complementary aspects of one complete Liu Xi.

• Liu Xi's consciousness followed a green radiance through the darkness for more than a year before reaching the Green Lotus Core Flame and rejoining it.

• The divine Original Self stepped out of Liu Xi's body, and the two recognized one another as Liu Xi's divinity and humanity.

After recovering from his two-year refinement of three Heavenly Flames, Liu Xi gained a Plane Imprint and rose to High-level Dou Zong. He began refining Tianshuangzi’s corpse and soul with the fused Green Lotus Core Flame, preparing to use a Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core.

• Liu Xi learned that the Green Lotus Mark on his primordial spirit was a Plane Imprint formed from the plane’s origin and the three Heavenly Flames.
• The primordial spirit returned to Liu Xi, releasing the power accumulated by the Heavenly Flames and raising Liu Xi to High-level Dou Zong.
• Liu Xi considered improving his incomplete cultivation method, named it the Soul Control Art, and brought out a near-Eighth-order Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core and Tianshuangzi’s corpse.
• Liu Xi used the fused Green Lotus Core Flame to temper Tianshuangzi’s body and soul, erasing the consciousness within after three hours.
• Liu Xi opened a hole in Tianshuangzi’s chest and placed the Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core inside.

Liu Xi refined Tianshuangzi into a powerful Earth Demon Puppet during two years of secluded cultivation, then returned to East Dragon Island. He learned Zi Yan was still undergoing her baptism and asked Hei Qing to take him to the nearby Void Thunder Pool.

• Liu Xi refined ores while tempering Tianshuangzi's corpse, then fused the materials with the Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core to create a puppet whose strength reached between One Star Dou Zun and Three Star Dou Zun.

• Liu Xi asked Hei Qing to take him to the nearby Void Thunder Pool, and Hei Qing led him toward Dragon Island.

• Hei Qing warned Liu Xi about the Void Thunder Pool’s danger and accompanied him there.
• Liu Xi used his Sky Demon Phoenix Bone Wings to reach the pool, then sent Ah Da and Tianshuang into dense lightning to absorb its power.
• Liu Xi cultivated at the pool’s edge, refining the lightning energy with his Green Lotus Core Flame.
• After more than a month, Liu Xi opened his eyes and found he had advanced from mid-stage to high-stage Seven Star Dou Zong.
• Liu Xi discovered that both puppets had evolved into Heavenly Demon Puppets, with Ah Da reaching Two Star Dou Zun strength and Tianshuang reaching roughly Four or Five Star Dou Zun strength.
• Liu Xi fled the lightning pursuing the puppets and concluded that the pool’s outer region could no longer support their growth.

Liu Xi returned to East Dragon Island after refining two Heavenly Demon Puppets in the Void Thunder Pool and revealed that he had reached the Spirit Realm Soul. He reunited with Xiao Yi Xian, whose Calamity Poison Body had advanced her to a Four Star Dou Zun, while a mysterious white-haired man escaped the thunder pool with Black Demon Lightning.

• Liu Xi stored his two Heavenly Demon Puppets, then followed Hei Qing through a Space Passage back to East Dragon Island.

• Qi You and Zhu Li discussed keeping Zi Yan hidden from the other Dragon Islands and bringing the Great Elder and Second Elder out of seclusion.

• Liu Xi thanked Hei Qing for bringing the group to the northwest Beast Region and chose to travel deeper into it rather than return to Zhongzhou.
• Liu Xi, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yao Tianhuo spent half a month reaching the Burial Beast Mountain Range, also known as the Beast Tomb.
• Liu Xi explained that the Beast Tomb’s Blood Spirits were not his target; he sought the source that gave birth to them, which he suspected was a Heavenly Flame.
• Liu Xi and his companions moved through the forest to the Beast Tomb entrance, where Tiger-headed Human and bear-headed human guards watched for Blood Spirit poachers.
