• While Liu Xi and Zi Yan focused on the fruit, blood-red traces spread through Qing Lin’s eyes as the Ancient Tian She coveted it.

Liu Xi and Zi Yan tried to subdue the rampaging Ancient Tian She before taking the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. As Liu Xi weakened the serpent, the Ancient Void Dragon and Ancient Tian Huang Ancestral Souls awakened, and the Ancient Tian She faced its sworn enemies.

• Liu Xi told Zi Yan to take the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, but Qing Lin lost control of the Ancient Tian She as it rampaged toward the fruit.

After Qing Lin regained control of the Ancient Tian She, Zi Yan sealed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in her body, and Liu Xi planned to help Qing Lin strengthen herself and control the serpent.

Liu Xi, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin swept the herb garden for valuable medicinal materials before entering the Pill Hall, where Liu Xi prepared a baited bottle for the hidden Pill Beast. Meanwhile, news of the ruins spread across Zhongzhou and drew factions toward the Bone Mountain Range, though Liu Xi remained unaware of the gathering forces.

• Zi Yan led Liu Xi and Qing Lin through the herb garden, where they collected rare medicinal materials and Liu Xi obtained two Soul Infant Fruits from the Sky-Piercing Flood Dragon.
• The Nine Nether Underworld Python Clan tried to control access to the ruins, but the arrival of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and other beast clans forced them to allow limited visitors.

• Zi Yan guided Liu Xi and Qing Lin to the Pill Hall, where they found broken shelves and empty jade bottles despite sensing treasures inside.
• Liu Xi placed a bottle of Sixth-grade pills on the floor and concealed himself, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin to lure out the hidden Pill Beast.

Liu Xi caught a sentient Pill Beast that had stolen and eaten his sixth-grade pill, then discovered it was the Heavenly Sun Evil-Breaking Pill and could help suppress the Ancient Tian She within Qing Lin. He left Zi Yan and Qing Lin with the creature while he collected the Pill Hall’s ancient formulas and manuscripts, then departed.

Liu Xi and his companions reached the Dou Sheng Ruins’ main hall and found the Dou Sheng Bone Remains, a Tian-tier Dou Technique, and a dozen powerful puppets guarded by a spatial seal. Deciding to seize the treasure before other experts arrived, Liu Xi assigned Zi Yan and Qing Lin to hold off some of the puppets as Zi Yan began breaking the seal.

• Liu Xi, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin entered the main hall, where they saw the Dou Sheng Bone Remains, ten glowing spheres containing techniques, and more than a dozen Ancient Human Puppets.
• Zi Yan offered to break the spatial seal, but Liu Xi warned that the puppets and the Bone Remains’ lingering will could make the fight extremely dangerous.
• Zi Yan estimated that powerful experts could enter the ruins in about three days, while the Spatial Storm would take another half month to weaken fully.
• Liu Xi chose to fight now, assigning Zi Yan to hold back three puppets and Qing Lin to hold back five while he faced the remaining eight.
• Qing Lin summoned the Ancient Tian She’s baleful aura, and Zi Yan released purple energy that began collapsing the Space Barrier.

Liu Xi, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin destroyed the sixteen Ancient Human Puppets guarding the treasure in the Dou Sheng Ruins. Just as they prepared to claim their reward, the Lingering Will within the Dou Sheng Bone Remains began to awaken.

• Liu Xi gathered Dou Qi, Heavenly Flames, and Spiritual Power to unleash Annihilation Finger against the awakened Dou Sheng’s Lingering Will.

• Liu Xi sent the Heavenly Demon Puppets to retrieve the Dou Sheng Bone Remains and ten floating balls of light, which contained cultivation methods, Dou Skills, medicinal pills, an Ancient Human Puppet, and a puppet-refining method.
• Liu Xi noticed three unusual ribs among the bones and decided to leave after taking every valuable treasure from the ancient ruin.

• Liu Xi recalled that the Green Lotus Seat had mild wood and fire properties, cleared the cave, and began another experiment with it.

• Liu Xi realized East Dragon Island faced the threat of the other three Dragon Islands and offered to see whether he could help Zi Yan.
• Hei Qing led Liu Xi toward the tallest mountain range, where Zi Yan was being kept.
