Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yuan and the other factions gathered outside the crimson hall, where Feng Qing'er and a white-haired Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan member marked him as an enemy. When the hall opened, Xiao Yuan used his Heavenly Flame to lead his group and Tang Zhen's people safely through the deadly Fire Passage.

• Xiao Yuan spotted Feng Qing'er and a white-haired man who promised to deal with him after Feng Qing'er received her clan's inheritance.
• Tang Zhen greeted Xiao Yuan and learned that he was facing hostility from several factions.
• The crimson hall's gate opened, and the first people to enter were burned to ash by magma and blue flames in the passage.
• The major factions charged into the Fire Passage under protective Dou Qi, while Xiao Yuan enveloped his group and the Burning Flame Valley members in golden flames.
• Xiao Yuan's group advanced through the passage unharmed, overtaking other experts as Tang Zhen noted that its length would exhaust those relying only on Dou Qi.

Xiao Yuan’s group bypassed the false Fire Passage by diving through its magma and reached the ruins’ entrance plaza, where ten silver puppets guarded a sealed Stone Gate. After the puppets evolved to challenge a Dou Zun, Xiao Yuan took control of all ten and put them in his Storage Ring, leaving the crowd stunned.

• Xiao Yuan recognized that the Fire Passage was a trap and led his group through the magma to the true entrance.
• Tang Zhen split from Xiao Yuan’s group and led his people to explore separately, while Xiao Yuan continued to the plaza with his companions.
• Xiao Yuan identified ten Di Yao Kui guarding the Stone Gate and realized they were likely connected to the way inside.
• A Gray-Clothed Old Man fought the puppets, which formed a formation and evolved into a golden Tian Yao Kui that wounded him.
• Xiao Yuan stepped forward and placed all ten puppets into his Storage Ring, astonishing the gathered experts.

Xiao Yuan claimed the ten Di Yao Kui and led his group into the ruins, where Zi Yan found an ancient forest filled with rare Medicinal Herbs. After entering and gathering herbs, the group pressed deeper into the forest and followed Zi Yan toward a powerful treasure she had scented.

• Xiao Yuan easily took control of the ten Di Yao Kui and stored them in his Storage Ring.
• After the stone gate opened and others entered first, Xiao Yuan led Cai Lin and the others into a gigantic hall and had Zi Yan search for Medicinal Herbs.
• Zi Yan guided the group to a moss-covered gate that opened onto an Ancient Forest full of rare Medicinal Herbs, and Xiao Yuan sealed the entrance while his Soul Clone collected them.
• Xiao Yuan warned the group about powerful magical beasts in the forest, but Zi Yan’s Ancient Void Dragon aura helped them travel safely.
• Xiao Yuan sensed other people entering the forest through another entrance, and Zi Yan detected an amazing scent and led the group toward it.

Xiao Yuan and his companions found the Soul Infant Demon Tree, subdued its Tongtian Jiao guardian with Zi Yan’s bloodline, and took the Soul Infant Fruits. Following a call from Zi Yan’s bloodline, they entered a Beast Spirit Cover and discovered a crimson plain with a towering altar whose pressure overwhelmed even Xiao Yuan and the Heavenly Flame Venerable.

• Zi Yan revealed a Tongtian Jiao guarding the Soul Infant Demon Tree, then calmed it with her Ancient Void Dragon bloodline.
• Xiao Yuan offered the Tongtian Jiao body-tempering pills and a Transformation Pill in exchange for the Soul Infant Fruits, and the beast began advancing after swallowing them.
• Xiao Yuan collected the two Soul Infant Fruits in boxes made from branches of the demon tree, and Zi Yan sensed a call deeper in the forest.
• Zi Yan discovered a concealed Beast Spirit Cover carrying traces of Void Ancient Dragon and Heaven Demon Phoenix bloodlines, then opened it with her golden blood.
• Xiao Yuan and his companions entered the cover and found a crimson plain with an ancient Giant Stone Altar whose pressure stunned Xiao Yuan and the Heavenly Flame Venerable.

Zi Yan and Xiao Yuan found the legendary Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit on the altar at the center of the Beast Spirit Cover, where the remains of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix lay. The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan arrived to seize it, and Xiao Yuan crippled their white-haired Dou Zun before raising his strength to Seven Star Dou Zun as the battle began.

• Zi Yan followed the growing summons to the top of the Giant Stone Altar, where she and Xiao Yuan identified the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
• Zi Yan discovered the skeletons of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix encircling the plain and said the fruit had to be taken before the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan could claim it.
• Feng Qing'er and her group tore through the Beast Spirit Cover and demanded that Xiao Yuan and his companions leave the altar.
• Xiao Yuan told Zi Yan to collect the fruit while he and Xiong Zhan held off the intruders, including the Five Star Dou Zun Elder Huang Xuan.
• Xiao Yuan shattered the white-haired man's attack and crippled him with one punch, then used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations to raise his strength to Seven Star Dou Zun.

Xiao Yuan defeated the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s pursuers, helped Zi Yan secure the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and led his group through the Ancient Ruins in search of treasure. On the Pill Hall’s third floor, he discovered that an odd, round white beast was a Pill Beast.

• Xiao Yuan used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and his seals to overwhelm the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, while Feng Qing'er escaped and Huang Xuan was left near death.
• Zi Yan revealed she had sealed the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, and Xiao Yuan’s group collected the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix’s bones and other remains before leaving the Beast Spirit Cover.
• Zi Yan worried that Feng Qing'er might alert her clan, so Xiao Yuan agreed they should contact the Ancient Void Dragon clan and led everyone away from the forest.
• Xiao Yuan’s group left the sealed Stone Gate intact, then followed other treasure hunters toward the main hall’s Pill Hall.
• Xiao Yuan detected poison on the Pill Hall’s second floor, guided his group to the third floor, and searched several chambers for pills and ancient formulas.
• Xiao Yuan noticed that a plump white beast had no energy fluctuations and identified it as a Pill Beast.

Xiao Yuan captured a super Rank 8 Pill Beast in the Pill Hall and led his group to the ruins’ main hall, where factions gathered around a Dou Sheng skeleton and sealed treasures. As the seal weakened and the tension mounted, Soul Hall’s experts arrived.

• Xiao Yuan fed the snow-white Pill Beast pills and lured it with a Soul Infant Fruit, then secretly placed a Soul Imprint on it and gave it to Qing Lian.
• Xiao Yuan led his group out of the Pill Hall and followed his soul perception through the ruins to the main hall.
• Xiao Yuan found ten sealed light spheres, a Dou Sheng skeleton, and more than a dozen dormant Dou Zun-level puppets in the hall.
• Tang Zhen joined Xiao Yuan and warned him that the puppets would likely awaken when the seal broke, while factions gathered and prepared for conflict.
• Xiao Yuan sensed Soul Hall’s arrival, and an unfamiliar Venerable One announced himself with a strange laugh.

Soul Hall's arrival intensified the battle for the ten scrolls, while awakened Human Puppets turned the hall into a slaughterhouse. Xiao Yuan seized a crimson scroll suited to Fire Attribute Energy, then redirected an Ancient Human Puppet against the experts who attacked him.

• Star Plucking Old Ghost led Soul Hall experts into the hall and claimed the front position as the ten seals began to vanish.
• The scrolls shot from their light spheres, and the gathered experts fought to capture them as stone puppets awakened and attacked everyone nearby.
• Heavenly Flame Venerable identified the awakened puppets as Ancient Human Puppets containing trapped souls, and Xiao Yuan discovered he could control them but chose not to act yet.
• Xiao Yuan chose a crimson scroll, fought through its pursuers, killed a One Star Dou Zun with a single punch, and placed the scroll in his Storage Ring.
• Nearly a hundred experts attacked Xiao Yuan, so he used Three Thousand Lightning Movement to kick an Ancient Human Puppet into the crowd.

Xiao Yuan escaped the hall with his allies just before Star Plucking Old Ghost awakened the Dou Sheng Skeleton, whose roar killed at least a hundred people. The skeleton then rose and barred the survivors from leaving, forcing them to prepare for a fight as it absorbed the blood mist.

• Xiao Yuan warned Tang Zhen and led his group out of the hall after sensing Star Plucking Old Ghost approach the Dou Sheng Skeleton.
• Star Plucking Old Ghost cut his hand on spatial spikes, and his blood seeped into the skeleton, awakening it.
• The skeleton’s roar swept through the hall, killing at least a hundred people, including two Dou Zun Experts, while Xiao Yuan’s group escaped unharmed.
• Xiao Yuan blamed Star Plucking Old Ghost for awakening the skeleton, and Star Plucking Old Ghost claimed the survivors would have to join forces to defeat it.
• The blood-red skeleton appeared and declared that the trespassers would die; Xiao Yuan and Tang Zhen then pressed Star Plucking Old Ghost to lead the attack.
• Xiao Yuan pointed out that the skeleton was absorbing the blood mist, and Star Plucking Old Ghost reluctantly prepared to act.

Xiao Yuan subdued the Ancient Human Puppets while Star Plucking Old Ghost and Black White Tian Zun fought the Dou Sheng Skeleton, which unleashed a devastating Great Heaven Creation Palm as the crowd fled. Xiao Yuan escaped the attack and began targeting his rivals, killing a Tianming Sect Dou Zun and confronting the three Soul Hall elders as they fought back.

• Star Plucking Old Ghost attacked the Dou Sheng Skeleton, but eight Human Puppets joined the battle and forced him to call for help.
• Xiao Yuan refused to assist the Soul Hall, then used his Soul Strength to subdue the Human Puppets and sent Fei Tian to stop a Tianming Sect expert.
• Star Plucking Old Ghost and Black White Tian Zun battered the skeleton while Xiao Yuan stored the puppets and led his allies away after sensing danger.
• The Dou Sheng Skeleton unleashed its Great Heaven Creation Palm, creating an expanding black ring that annihilated people and objects in its path.
• Xiao Yuan punched a Tianming Sect Dou Zun into the black ring, then confronted Star Plucking Old Ghost and Black White Tian Zun as the three Soul Hall elders attacked him.

Xiao Yuan defeated the three Soul Hall members and claimed the Dou Sheng Skeleton before leaving the ruins with his allies. Outside the Skeleton Mountain Range, Hei Qing arrived and took Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan back to the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe, while Zi Yan left Xiao Yuan a mark so she could find him again.

• Xiao Yuan used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and a killing-intent battle skill to crush the attacks of Star Plucking Old Ghost, Black White Tian Zun, and their ally, killing all three.
• Xiao Yuan retrieved the Dou Sheng Skeleton and left the ruins with Cai Lin, his companions, and Tang Zhen's Burning Flame Valley group.

• Xiao Yuan told Yao Lao and Wind Venerable about the ruins and the Dou Sheng Remains, which included a Heaven Rank Battle Skill.

• Cao Ying explained that she had saved Xiao Yan out of gratitude and accepted that he loved Xun Er, while Xiao Yuan said he would explain the situation to Xun Er.
• Xiao Yuan told Xiao Yan to recover so they could work together to refine a body for Yao Lao, and Mu Qingluan led Xiao Yan and Cao Ying to find a place to stay.
• Xiao Yuan asked Yao Lao and Xuan Yi about the Emperor Python Heart-Corroding Poison, and Xuan Yi agreed to examine Qing Lian.

Xiao Yuan treated Qing Lian’s Emperor Python Heart-Corroding Poison while uncovering the Nine-Headed Sky Serpent soul attached to her. After subduing it with Fallen Heart Flame, he confirmed Qing Lian had advanced to Two Star Dou Zun and left with her to begin refining a body for Yao Lao.

• Xiao Yuan prepared a medicinal pool for Qing Lian, spotted the nine-headed serpent tattoo on her back, and sent his Soul Clone to borrow Fallen Heart Flame from Xiao Yan.
• Xiao Yuan spent several days treating Qing Lian and studying the tattoo as the poison faded and the serpent’s eyes gradually opened.
• When Qing Lian’s treatment neared completion, the Nine-Headed Sky Serpent emerged from the pool and attacked Xiao Yuan.
• Xiao Yuan used Fallen Heart Flame and his Soul Strength to subdue the serpent, which then reverted to Qing Lian’s form.
• Qing Lian explained how she had summoned the serpent’s soul from an ancient skeleton, and Xiao Yuan confirmed her poison was gone and she had reached Two Star Dou Zun.
• Xiao Yuan dressed and carried Qing Lian out of the cave to begin refining a body for Yao Lao.

Xiao Yuan refined Ancient Heavenly Phoenix blood essence and unlocked the Great Heaven Creation Palm from the Dou Sheng Skeleton’s ribs. He learned its circulation method and tested the technique, but its black light nearly drew in the nearby Dou Sheng Remains, leaving him unsure why the palm needed to be tempered with Golden Spirit Saliva.

• Xiao Yuan refined the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix remains and Heaven Demon Phoenix flesh, producing six drops of Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence for Yao Lao’s resurrection.
• Xiao Yuan broke the seal on three ribs of the Dou Sheng Skeleton and received the Great Heaven Creation Palm’s cultivation route and warning from the memory of Creation Saint.
• Wind Venerable, Yao Lao, and Xiao Yuan agreed to begin restoring Yao Lao’s body the next day, while Yao Lao cautioned that reaching Dou Sheng would be difficult.
• Xiao Yuan tested the Great Heaven Creation Palm and stopped its enormous Dou Qi draw after its black light began pulling the nearby Dou Sheng Remains toward him.

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan refined a new body for Yao Lao using a Dou Sheng Skeleton and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix blood, while Xiao Yuan also opened Xiao Yan’s blocked meridians and taught him the Great Heaven Creation Palm. The chapter ended with the Hall of Souls and Tianming Sect agreeing to attack Starfall Pavilion in three days and capture Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, and Yao Chen.

The Hall of Souls and Tianming Sect attacked Starfall Pavilion to seize Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yan, and Yao Chen, forcing the pavilion to fight for its survival. Xiao Yuan confronted Eight Tianzun Prisoner as the battle began, while his illusionary body engaged the Hall of Souls’ other Tianzun.

• After ten days of waiting for Yao Chen to revive, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan heard the Hall of Souls demand their surrender and threaten Starfall Pavilion.
• Wind Venerable revealed that nearly a hundred enemies, including Eight Tianzun Prisoner and Tian Ming Zi, had surrounded the pavilion, and the elders vowed to defend it.
• As Eight Tianzun Prisoner and Tian Ming Zi battered the Starfall Great Array, Heavenly Flame Venerable offered to fight the strongest attackers, and Xiao Yuan emerged from seclusion while Yao Chen still needed time.
• Xiao Yuan distributed six Dou Zun puppets, then Wind Venerable opened the array as the Hall of Souls began its assault.
• Xiao Yuan confronted Eight Tianzun Prisoner at peak Nine Stars Dou Zun strength while Heavenly Flame Venerable blocked Tian Ming Zi and Xiao Yuan’s Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body engaged the other four Tianzun.

Xiao Yuan fought the Hall of Souls forces attacking Starfall Pavilion and appeared to defeat Eight Tianzun Prisoner before confronting two hidden Half-Saint experts. When Gu You nearly crushed him, someone reached out to intervene, declaring Xiao Yuan his disciple.

• Starfall Pavilion's disciples, Wind Venerable, Cai Lin, and their allies fought the Hall of Souls and Tianming Sect while observers watched from beyond the Star Realm.

• An arm grasped Gu You's hand, and a familiar voice declared, "My disciple—so what if he's a little arrogant?"

• Yao Lao crushed the Dark Skeleton King into dust with a gesture.

Three months later, Hei Qing arrived to summon Xiao Yuan because something had happened to Zi Yan, and Xiao Yuan set out for the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe with Qing Lian.

• Yao Lao killed the Soul Hall and Tianming Sect attackers, then fought off a Hun Clan Dou Sheng who warned that they would meet again.
• Yao Lao resolved to destroy the Tianming Sect after recovering, while he and Wind Venerable planned to use Starfall Pavilion's new prestige to recruit experts.

• Xiao Yuan informed Cai Lin, brought Qing Lian, and followed Hei Qing through a Space Channel toward the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe.

• Xiao Yuan and Qing Lian followed Hei Qing onto the Void Ancient Dragons’ hidden island and met Third Elder Zhuo Li.
• Zhuo Li explained that Zi Yan could not absorb the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit’s power, which had solidified around her and made her shrink.
