Chapter Summaries

Lin Ming traded Ice Attribute treasures and Eagle's Wing to Old Yao for the Sect Breaking Pill formula. After Lin Ming left, Old Yao told Xiao Yan that the Calamity Poison Body control method required three Heavenly Flames, then prepared to help him refine Eagle's Wing and the pills needed to devour the Green Lotus Core Flame.

• Lin Ming offered Old Yao Ice Attribute treasures, but asked for the Sect Breaking Pill formula instead of the Swift Breath Pill formula.
• Lin Ming added the Profound Tier High-grade Flying Fighting Skill Eagle's Wing, and Old Yao agreed to trade the Sect Breaking Pill formula for both offers.
• Lin Ming received and checked the formula, handed over the treasures and scroll, then flew away with his Cyan Gold Wings.
• Xiao Yan worried that Lin Ming might use the Calamity Poison Body control method against them, but Old Yao explained that controlling it required three kinds of Heavenly Flames and said Lin Ming would eventually need their help.
• Old Yao told Xiao Yan to refine Eagle's Wing while he prepared pills for devouring the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Lin Ming and Yun Yun settled their disagreement and agreed to meet again in the Imperial City before she returned to the Misty Cloud Sect. After Yun Yun departed, Xiao Yi Xian offered Lin Ming the armor Yun Yun had given her, while elsewhere a black-robed youth refined the Purple Cloud Wings and tested his new flight ability.

• Lin Ming reassured Yun Yun that he held no grudge, and they joked before discussing their plans to leave the valley.
• Yun Yun said she would return to the sect the next day, and she and Lin Ming agreed to meet again in the Imperial City.
• At dawn, Yun Yun flew away, and Xiao Yi Xian offered Lin Ming the sea-blue scaled soft armor Yun Yun had given her; Lin Ming told her to keep it.
• In a cave in the Monster Mountain Range, a black-robed youth absorbed the Purple Cloud Wings from a scroll and summoned them from his back.
• The youth flew around the cave before his illusory teacher told him to land, and the wings shrank against his back.

Lin Ming gave Xiao Yi Xian a scroll containing a method to control her Calamity Poison Body, easing her fears and deepening her trust in him. He then used a Companion Purple Crystal Source to strengthen his Purple Crystal Wings, absorbing the energy they released.

• Lin Ming gave Xiao Yi Xian a scroll with a method for controlling her Calamity Poison Body, and she cried with relief as she realized he had truly been searching for a solution.
• Xiao Yi Xian returned the scroll unread, saying she trusted Lin Ming to help her, and Lin Ming promised he would control her constitution.
• Lin Ming took the Companion Purple Crystal Source to a high platform in the valley and summoned his Purple Crystal Wings beneath the sun.
• The purple source liquid poured onto the wings, and Purple Demon Fire melted their crystal layer as the wings expanded.
• Lin Ming felt pure fire-attributed energy flow from the wings into his body and sat down to refine it.

Lin Ming used the Companion Purple Crystal Source to break through to the Five-Star Dou King realm while greatly strengthening his Purple Crystal Wings. After testing their new speed, he found that he could fly as fast as a Dou Emperor and escape one if necessary.

• After months of stabilizing his Dou Qi and reaching the peak of the Three-Star Dou King realm, Lin Ming refined a surge of energy that raised him to the Five-Star Dou King realm.
• The Purple Crystal Wings absorbed most of the Companion Purple Crystal Source and grew nearly twice as large, developing bone spurs and dense crystal patterns.
• Lin Ming tested the transformed wings and found that they could fly at Dou Emperor speed, especially beneath the sun.
• Lin Ming confirmed that the wings' increased Dou Qi consumption remained manageable and could help him escape a Dou Emperor, then headed toward the lit wooden house.

Lin Ming finished preparing pills, transformed into a disguised middle-aged man, and arrived at the Xiao Family residence. He defeated Xiao Zhan and demanded the Ancient Jade Fragment, threatening Xiao Yan and the Xiao Family if Xiao Zhan refused.

• Lin Ming completed a month of pill refinement, then flew toward Wutan City using his new Wings of Dou Qi and changed his appearance beneath a black robe.
• Xiao Zhan worried about Xiao Yan before a black-robed stranger appeared in his room after the lamp went out.
• Xiao Zhan formed his Dou Qi Armor, but the stranger shattered it with a single attack and left him injured.
• The stranger recognized the Xiao Family's ancient origins and demanded the Ancient Jade Fragment passed down by the Xiao Clan.
• The stranger threatened to cripple Xiao Yan and harm the Xiao Family unless Xiao Zhan handed over the fragment.

Xiao Zhan realized the Ancient Jade Fragment had drawn powerful families to the Xiao Family and surrendered it to Lin Ming to save his clan. Lin Ming took the Tou She Ancient God Jade Fragment, intending to use it to prevent the Hun Clan from opening Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion until he was strong enough to claim its chance to become a Dou Di.

• Xiao Zhan feared the black-robed man would destroy the Xiao Family and considered how little chance Yan Er's master would have of resisting the man's family.
• Xiao Zhan concluded that Xun Er's father had likely brought her to the Xiao Family for the Ancient Jade Fragment and recognized that keeping it endangered his clan.
• Xiao Zhan reluctantly decided to surrender the fragment, believing the Xiao Family would otherwise be exterminated.
• Xiao Zhan took out the gleaming Ancient Jade Fragment, and Lin Ming grew visibly excited when he saw it.
• Lin Ming congratulated Xiao Zhan and planned to keep the fragment from the Hun Clan until he could grow strong enough to open Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion himself.

Lin Ming confirmed that Xiao Zhan’s ancestral jade was a fragment of the Tou She Ancient God Jade, removed its Soul Imprint, and took it after testing its durability. He left Wutan City and flew toward the valley, while Xiao Zhan was left grieving the loss.

• Lin Ming told Xiao Zhan that the Xiao Family would be spared and demanded that he remove the Soul Imprint from the Tou She Ancient God Jade.
• Xiao Zhan erased the Soul Imprint and threw the Ancient Jade to Lin Ming, who tested it in an energy sphere and confirmed it was genuine.
• Lin Ming put away the fragment and vanished, leaving Xiao Zhan to realize that the ancestral jade was gone.
• Lin Ming left Wutan City, flew toward the Monster Mountain Range, and changed his Dou Qi before heading toward the valley.

Lin Ming sensed Xiao Yi Xian advancing to Dou Shi and waited as she gained control of her new power. With their time in the valley over, he offered to accompany her to revisit the places where she had lived before they left.

• Lin Ming sensed Calamity Origin Poison Gas leaking from the cabin and realized Xiao Yi Xian was advancing to Dou Shi.
• Xiao Yi Xian completed her advancement, gathered the poison gas around herself as a Dou Qi Gauze Robe, and felt grateful to Lin Ming for his support.
• Lin Ming decided they should leave the valley and return, since his tasks in the Monster Mountain Range were finished and Zi Yan's advancement was approaching.
• Xiao Yi Xian reluctantly agreed to leave the valley, and Lin Ming offered to take her to revisit the places where she had lived.
• Xiao Yi Xian was delighted by Lin Ming's offer.

Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian found the wounded Su Xue by a stream in the Monster Mountain Range and saved her. After Su Xue woke and ate with them at camp, Lin Ming recognized that she was no ordinary commoner.

Lin Ming learned that Su Xue came from Huang Yan City in the Jin Huai State, which paid tribute to the Zong Lun Empire across the Monster Mountain Range from the Jia Ma Empire.

• Lin Ming recalled that the Monster Mountain Range separated the Jia Ma Empire from the Zong Lun Empire and that the Barbarian Race lived north of the Zong Lun Empire.
• Xiao Yi Xian asked why Su Xue had been badly injured in the Monster Mountain Range so far from her home.
• Lin Ming reassured Su Xue that she did not have to explain if it was difficult to discuss.

Su Xue told Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian how her uncle Su Su betrayed the Su Family after discovering a mysterious flame beneath its Huang Yan Stone Mine. After Su Xue escaped his attempt to kill her, she was hunted across the country until she reached the Monster Mountain Range.

• Su Xue explained that her father, Su Xiao, had left Su Su in charge of the Su Family while he secluded himself to pursue a breakthrough to Dou King.
• After a miner found a hidden underground crevice, Su Su entered the mine with several people, returned alone, and sealed it, claiming a magma-related cave-in had killed the others.
• A miner later revealed that he had glimpsed a fierce yellow flame beneath the crevice, prompting Su Xue to suspect Su Su was hiding something.
• Su Su confessed to Su Xue that he resented Su Xiao for taking both the family-head position and the woman he loved, and that the underground flame would help him surpass his brother.
• When Su Xue recognized the flame as the secret Su Su was concealing, he decided to kill her, but she wounded him with an attack sealed by her father and escaped.
• Su Su's followers pursued Su Xue as the people protecting her were killed, driving her through the wilderness to the Monster Mountain Range after more than two months.

Lin Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and Su Xue arrived at Huang Yan City, where Su Xue learned that the Black Bandit Gang had attacked her family and that her uncle Su Su had claimed she was dead. Lin Ming agreed to help Su Xue confront Su Su, then sensed that he was absent from the estate and directed her toward the mine.

• Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian flew with Su Xue toward Huang Yan City, where Su Xue was eager to return home.
• At the city gate, a guard told Su Xue that the Black Bandit Gang had raided the city, devastated the Su Family, and captured her niece after Su Su claimed Su Xue was dead.
• Su Xue concluded that Su Su had colluded with the bandits to cover up her disappearance and eliminate witnesses, and Lin Ming promised to cripple him and leave him to her.
• At the Su Family estate, a guard said Su Su had not appeared since he was injured, and Lin Ming sensed that he was not there.
• Lin Ming suspected Su Su had gone to the mine and told Su Xue to take him there.

Lin Ming found the Mysterious Yellow Flame beneath the Su Family Mine and defeated Su Su, crippling his cultivation. He stood before the flame, with its fate still unresolved.

• Lin Ming recognized the Mysterious Yellow Flame and restrained Su Su when he woke up.
• Lin Ming took the Crystal Vein Pill, Frost Qi, and Ice Spirit Cold Spring to prepare for refining the flame.

• The Mysterious Yellow Flame collapsed into a wisp of yellow qi that entered the Origin Fire Seed in Lin Ming's hand.
• Lin Ming drank the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and swallowed the Mysterious Yellow Flame Origin Fire Seed.

Lin Ming released the suppression on his Dou Qi Vortex while refining the Mysterious Yellow Flame, and the restored Five-Colored Qi Vortex overwhelmed the Heavenly Flame and carried it through his meridians. The Mysterious Yellow Flame reached his dantian, where it faced the vortex that had subdued it.

• The Mysterious Yellow Flame burned Lin Ming from within, and his suppressed Dou Qi Vortex began resisting as he tried to contain it.
• Lin Ming released the suppression, restoring the vortex’s five attributes and triggering it to absorb the Dou Qi he was using to restrain the flame.
• The vortex abruptly released the absorbed Dou Qi as a five-colored torrent, extinguishing the flame’s attacks and binding its seed.
• The torrent carried the Mysterious Yellow Flame through Lin Ming’s meridians, draining its consciousness and completing its refinement.
• Su Su saw five-colored light radiate from Lin Ming and admitted he had no regrets about losing to someone with five attributes.
• The torrent brought the Mysterious Yellow Flame to Lin Ming’s dantian, where it feared the Five-Colored Qi Vortex.

• Lin Ming realized the Mysterious Yellow Flame had entered the Spirit Absorption willingly and withdrew his awareness after completing the refinement.

Lin Ming tested the power of the Mysterious Yellow Flame by fighting Jin Zhu, the Jin Huai State royal family's seven-star Dou King. After Lin Ming's flame overwhelmed Jin Zhu and defeated his Golden Dragon Sword, the two agreed to end the sparring match.

• Jin Zhu confronted Lin Ming for entering Jin Huai State without greeting him and tried to intimidate him with his Dou King pressure.
• Lin Ming shattered Jin Zhu's pressure and launched the Mysterious Yellow Flame at him, prompting Jin Zhu to fight back.

• Lin Ming called an end to the sparring match, and Jin Zhu readily agreed.
