Chapter Summaries

The Dragon Clan failed to locate Lin Yue and Su Qingyan’s hidden cave, so it established an outpost and claimed control of the surrounding coast. Lin Yue continued cultivating toward a breakthrough while Su Qingyan warned him that a powerful Black Flood Dragon had arrived, leaving his breakthrough within reach.

• The Azure Flood Dragons searched the valley but were misled by Yueyan Residence’s concealment arrays and traces suggesting Lin Yue and Su Qingyan had fled.

After deciding not to attack the Dragon Clan's outpost because its Defense Array could flood the coast, Lin Yue and Su Qingyan learned that the Phoenix Clan had risen at the Volcano of Immortality. They set out to investigate the clan and the volcano, while Baize stayed behind to guard Yueyan Residence and monitor the Dragon Clan.

• Three days later, they rested on the central Primordial Wilderness plains before setting out for Yueyan Residence, while Shi Qilin arrived there shortly afterward.

On their journey toward Yueyan Residence, Lin Yue and Su Qingyan hid from Shi Qilin and more than a thousand kirin as the clan marked the central plains as its territory.
