Lin Ming earned Blazing Flame Valley’s trust, then fought Ice River Valley to protect Xiao Yi Xian before Zi Yan’s identity as East Dragon Island’s princess was revealed. On East Dragon Island, Lin Ming strengthened his companions and completed the Bone-Regenerating Soul-Melding Pill, leaving Elder Yao’s revival ready to begin.
Lin Ming revived Yao Tianhuo, helped Xiao Yi Xian control her Calamity Poison Body, and strengthened his cultivation and puppets before confronting the Cao Family and preparing for the Pill Gathering. The group left Ye City for Sacred Pill City, where the Ye Family must place in the top three to retain its Elder Seat in the Pill Tower.
Lin Ming earned a Pill Tower badge, secured rare treasures at the Alchemist Trade Fair, and led the Ye Family to victory in the Five Great Families Assessment. The arc left him preparing to meet Pill Tower’s leaders as Soul Hall’s plans for the Three Thousand Burning Flame threatened to draw him into a wider conflict.
Lin Ming entered the Pill Gathering to thwart Soul Hall, survived the Pill Realm, and reached the finals after killing Elder Mu Gu. As Xiao Yan, Dan Chen, Cao Ying, and Qing Hua revealed powerful Tier 8 pills, Lin Ming remained the last major contestant whose result was still unknown.
Lin Ming won the Pill Gathering, then entered the Star Domain and subdued the Three Thousand Burning Flame amid a Soul Hall attack. He refined it, fused it with his existing flame, and broke through to peak Two-Star Dou Venerate before preparing to leave the depleted Star Domain.
After founding the Five Elements Sect, Lin Ming traveled with Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan to Fallen Phoenix Abyss in search of the Beast Taming Sect ruins. The group escaped the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan with Qing Lin and a new inheritance after Lin Ming reached the Heavenly Realm and Four-Star Dou Venerate.
Lin Ming led the Five Elements Sect into ancient Dou Sheng ruins, where he claimed powerful puppets and gathered rare treasures. At the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, his group fought Huang Xuan’s forces, and Zi Yan defeated Feng Qing’er’s ancestral power, leaving the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan facing defeat.
After securing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and the remains of the Ancient Void Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, Lin Ming explored the ruins’ Pill Hall and captured a powerful Pill Beast. In the central hall, he seized a puppet and a scroll while Chen Tiannan stirred suspicion against him and tried to escape amid the puppet massacre.
Lin Ming seized the Dou Sheng Skeleton and its treasures, then relied on Hei Qing to end the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan’s confrontation. Back at the Five Elements Sect, he left to help Yun Yun reclaim her inheritance and faced Hua Jin and Demonic Flower Evil Lord in a contest.
Lin Ming installed Yun Yun as Flower Sect Sect Master, then brought Zi Yan to the imprisoned Zhu Kun, where she began refining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. After gaining Zhu Kun’s power and charge to reunite the Ancient Dragon Clan, Lin Ming returned to find the Five Elements Sect damaged by Soul Hall’s attack and explained everything to Zhu Li.
Lin Ming used the Dragon Emperor’s Inverse Scale to reunite the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and turn its forces against Soul Hall. After destroying Soul Hall Branch Halls, he led the assault on Human Hall, where the Great Heavenly Venerate began fighting back.
Lin Ming and the Ancient Dragon Clan destroyed Soul Hall’s Human Hall, then Lin Ming refined its captured soul origins and reached peak Nine-Star Dou Venerate. After uncovering the Hun Clan’s plans, he prepared the Dragon Clan to expose them and protect its people as conflict loomed.
Lin Ming returned to a world threatened by the Hun Clan, then helped Qing Lin save the Heavenly Snake Mansion from the Lion Nether Sect and Blood River Venerate. After Qing Lin took responsibility for rebuilding the sect, Lin Ming returned to the Mittel Family, where Elder Hai broke through to Dou Ancestor and Xiao Yi Xian departed to deal with the Poison Sect.
Lin Ming strengthened his companions, led them to the Space Trading Fair, and secured rare treasures and techniques. After recognizing the final Pure Lotus Demonic Flame map, he ambushed its buyer, the Cloud Rain Sect, and captured its three leaders.
Lin Ming and his companions entered the Vast Desolate Ancient Region seeking the Bodhi Ancient Tree, rescued Yun Yun and the Flower Sect from the Heaven Nether Sect, and subdued an Ancient Heavenly Demon Python. Lin Ming tempered his body and advanced to the First Revolution, then rode the python with his companions toward the region’s depths.
Lin Ming and the gathered factions crossed the Beast Tide and fought the Half-Saint Puppets to reach the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Inside its illusions, Lin Ming learned that a dead Dou Di’s negative emotions had corrupted it and prepared to purify them with his soul power.
Lin Ming purified the Bodhi Ancient Tree, broke through to an Emperor Realm soul, and returned to the Five Elements Sect before entering seclusion to refine the Bodhi Heart. While he remained absent, the Hun Clan’s plans stirred the ancient clans and the Heaven Nether Sect attacked the Five Elements Sect, leaving its defenders facing a battle against powerful foes.
Lin Ming returned to the Five Elements Sect, defeated the invading Heaven Nether Sect and saved the Flower Sect, then forged an alliance and refined a Tier 9 Bodhi Pill. After the wider cultivation world took notice, he set out with Qing Lin for the Beast Domain to reach the Nether Python Clan.
Lin Ming freed Yao Ming from the Nine Nether Yellow Springs and helped him defeat Yao Xiaotian and the Great Elder, restoring him as Clan Leader. In return, Yao Ming led Lin Ming to the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet, where Lin Ming entered its inner realm to seek the Yellow Springs Heaven Rage inheritance.
Lin Ming won the Yellow Springs Demon Saint’s inheritance, defeated the Heaven Demon Phoenix ambush, and strengthened himself before entering the Little Pill Tower elder selection. The stretch ended as Lin Ming’s Bodhi Pill neared completion and a dark thundercloud overshadowed the other contestants’ pill lightning.
