Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue entered Dragon-Phoenix Haven as it opened and were scattered into a strange, ancient realm. They arrived together on a dark-red grassland, while other cultivators appeared at random across the Haven.

• Tens of thousands of cultivators gathered as the space above the Dragon-Phoenix Mountain Range warped and Dragon-Phoenix Haven opened.
• Lin Ming led Zi Yan and Long Qingyue through the spatial rift after it filled with light and echoed with dragon roars and phoenix cries.

• Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue emerged unharmed onto an endless dark-red grassland beneath a dark-gold sky.
• Spatial ripples continued to deposit groups of cultivators at random locations throughout Dragon-Phoenix Haven.

Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue discovered that the dark red grassland in Dragon-Phoenix Haven was a sea of insects that devoured spiritual energy and reduced intruders to skeletons. As the insects closed in, Lin Ming shielded the three with Emperor Flame and charged through a Tornado Storm.

• Lin Ming noticed countless pinprick holes beneath the grass and sensed that the silent grassland was dangerous.

• Lin Ming confirmed her direction against the map, noted an ordinary Dragon-Phoenix Pool as a fallback, and led the group northwest.

Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue followed the gathering beast hordes toward the ordinary Dragon-Phoenix Pool, avoiding fights as they neared its powerful aura. They reached a vast Bone Mountain, where concentrated radiance circled its summit.

• Lin Ming stopped the group so they could hide from a horde of more than a hundred exotic beasts passing overhead.
• The three avoided successive migrating beast hordes, but sharp-sensed beasts forced them into several brief fights.
• Lin Ming concluded that the unusual movement of the hordes meant the Dragon-Phoenix Pool was nearby.
• Zi Yan pointed out that the ordinary Dragon-Phoenix Pool was not far away, while Long Qingyue wondered which powerful experts were heading there.
• The three crossed shattered land and saw a mountain piled high with enormous ancient bones, with dense radiance circulating at its summit.

Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue watched the Bone Mountain from a distance while a group of young experts rushed toward the Dragon-Phoenix Pool. The mountain unleashed a swarm of deadly White-Scaled Bears, leaving the survivors facing the danger ahead.

• Lin Ming chose to wait with Zi Yan and Long Qingyue while other elites tested the Bone Mountain first.

• Long Qingyue identified the attackers as White-Scaled Bears formed from the remains of fallen True Dragons and True Phoenixes.

Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue watched White-Scaled Bears overwhelm an initial group of intruders around Bone Mountain, then waited as a much larger force gathered to attack. Once the main battle began and other hidden contenders emerged, Lin Ming’s group moved toward the mountain.

• Long Qingyue explained that White-Scaled Bears were dangerous Dragon-Phoenix Haven beasts with faint dragon-scale power and a relentless nature.
• The White-Scaled Bears slaughtered nearly half of an initial group of intruders, then sealed off Bone Mountain without pursuing the survivors.

• Zi Yan asked Lin Ming whether their group should join the assault, and Lin Ming noted that hidden experts were waiting to act as fishermen.
• When the combined forces collided with the White-Scaled Bears, Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue silently joined the advancing cultivators and headed toward Bone Mountain.

Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue crossed the White-Scaled Bears’ defenses and raced up White Bone Mountain, where a powerful Dragon Demon Bear with a True Dragon bloodline emerged to attack them. Long Qingyue blocked its first strike, but the group now faced a far more dangerous guardian.

• Over a thousand young experts charged through the White-Scaled Bears, gradually opening gaps in their defenses as they fought toward White Bone Mountain.
• Lin Ming told Zi Yan and Long Qingyue to bypass the bears, and the three used spatial movement to slip through the defensive line.
• Other powerful cultivators also revealed themselves and passed through the bears’ defenses as the three reached White Bone Mountain.
• As Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue raced up the mountain, the bones split open and a crimson-scaled paw struck at Long Qingyue.
• Long Qingyue blocked the blow with her Dark Gold Dragon Spear but was forced back, and a gigantic Dragon Demon Bear with a True Dragon bloodline emerged from the fissure.

• Zi Yan pierced the Dragon Demon Bear's eye, then struck its head apart and killed it.
• Long Qingyue stared at the corpse and realized Zi Yan had concealed how powerful she was.

Lin Ming and his companions reached the Dragon-Phoenix Pool atop White Bone Mountain, where She Yuan, Ling Mei, and Ding Feng confronted them. She Yuan revealed he had secretly tracked Long Qingyue, but Lin Ming burned away the Spirit Seal, leaving the confrontation poised to begin.

• Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue crossed the summit clouds and found the Dragon-Phoenix Pool formed from the bones of a True Dragon and True Phoenix.
• She Yuan, Ling Mei, and Ding Feng arrived and surrounded Lin Ming's group, with She Yuan carrying the corpse of another dragon-blooded beast.
• Long Qingyue realized She Yuan's arrival was unlikely to be a coincidence, and he revealed he had planted a hidden Spirit Seal on her at the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.
• Lin Ming identified the seal in Long Qingyue's hair and used a multicolored flame to burn it away, severing She Yuan's connection to her.

Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue faced She Yuan, Ling Mei, and Ding Feng after Lin Ming removed the Spirit Seal She Yuan had planted on Long Qingyue. Zi Yan wounded Ling Mei, Long Qingyue engaged Ding Feng, and Lin Ming confronted She Yuan with a threat.

• Long Qingyue realized She Yuan had planted a Spirit Seal in her hair, but Lin Ming had removed it before it could expose their plan to find the Super Dragon Phoenix Pool.
• She Yuan revealed that Ling Mei would fight Zi Yan, Ding Feng would fight Long Qingyue, and he would face Lin Ming.

• Long Qingyue attacked Ding Feng with her Dragon Spear, and his fist drove her back with a bleeding hand.
• Lin Ming stepped toward She Yuan and asked whether he had decided how he wanted to die.

• Lin Ming met She Yuan’s attack with a Golden Lightning punch, and the lightning dragon devoured the dragon-snake power before continuing toward She Yuan’s right arm.

• She Yuan’s charred body fell onto the white-bone earth atop White Bone Mountain.

After Lin Ming defeated She Yuan and drove the remaining challengers away, he and Zi Yan and Long Qingyue opened the Dragon-Phoenix Pool. The three entered it together, and the pool’s ancient power enveloped the summit in mist as their cleansing began.

• She Yuan fled after Lin Ming’s attack, and Ling Mei and Ding Feng also escaped their fights with Zi Yan and Long Qingyue.
• Lin Ming challenged the watching experts, who chose to retreat rather than fight him for the Dragon-Phoenix Pool.
• Long Qingyue used the blood of two beasts with True Dragon bloodlines to awaken the pool’s ancient cleansing power.
• Lin Ming raised a barrier around the pool and invited Zi Yan and Long Qingyue to enter with him.
• Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue leaped into the pool as dense mist and the shadows of a True Dragon and True Phoenix spread across White Bone Mountain.

Lin Ming, Zi Yan, and Long Qingyue absorbed the diluted True Dragon and True Phoenix Blood Essence in the Dragon-Phoenix Pool while experts outside White Bone Mountain watched helplessly. After more than half an hour, a golden pillar of light erupted from the summit, leaving the onlookers startled by the pool’s sudden change.

• The mist and fragrance from the Dragon-Phoenix Pool stirred the bloodlines of the experts outside, but Lin Ming’s earlier victories kept them from approaching.
• Long Qingyue healed and replenished her spiritual energy in the pool as ancient patterns carried Natal Blood Essence from the True Dragon and True Phoenix bones into all three cultivators.
• Lin Ming and Zi Yan found the diluted Essence Blood underwhelming, though Zi Yan continued weaving its power into her Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline.
• For more than half an hour, the onlookers waited beneath the thickening mist while dragon cries and phoenix calls sounded from the summit.
• A powerful dragon cry and phoenix call shook White Bone Mountain, and a dazzling golden pillar of light burst from its summit into the sky.

Long Qingyue absorbed the remaining power in the Dragon-Phoenix Pool and awakened a stronger False Dragon Body. She emerged with twenty dragon patterns, grateful to Lin Ming and Zi Yan despite falling far short of the body’s greatest potential.

• The dragon patterns devoured the phoenix patterns above White Bone Mountain, then sank into the Dragon-Phoenix Pool as its bones began to crumble.
• Long Qingyue opened her eyes with golden pupils and released Dragon Might powerful enough to crack the pool and frighten the onlookers.
• Long Qingyue flew from the dry pool and bowed to Lin Ming and Zi Yan, thanking them for protecting her and leaving her the remaining power.
• Long Qingyue sensed that the pool had transformed her false dragon power into a fierce, surging force.
• Long Qingyue counted twenty dragon patterns circling her and regretted that her False Dragon Body was weaker than the strongest examples, then accepted the strength she had gained.
