Xiao Long entered the Great Desolate Tablet to search for the Devouring Ancestor Talisman's previous owner before seeking the talisman itself. After finding the Ancient Sect's main peak in the Great Desolate Ancient Plains, he was nearing his destination.

• Xiao Long left Liu Yan to secluded cultivation and headed for the Great Desolate Commandery to find the Devouring Ancestor Talisman's previous owner.
• Xiao Long entered the Great Desolate Tablet and searched the Great Desolate Ancient Plains, ignoring the martial arts techniques there.
• Xiao Long found a skeleton beneath a stone pavilion, killed nearby Demonic Beasts, and took three Nirvana Pills.

• Xiao Long examined the Nirvana Pills, decided they were of no use to him, and sold them.
• Xiao Long followed his instincts to the tallest mountain in the plains, where the Ancient Sect's main peak and cultivation treasure towers stood.

Xiao Long reached the Devouring Ancestor Talisman’s altar and tried to claim it, only to be stopped by the black-robed remnant of its former owner. The remnant refused to give it to an outsider, and Xiao Long prepared to take it by force.

• Xiao Long threatened to take the talisman by force, and the remnant laughed at his confidence.

• Xiao Long used the Netherworld Sound Wave Skill to search the disrupted space and found the Devouring Ancestor Talisman after three hours.
• Xiao Long lifted the black altar, revealing a vast storeroom filled with pills, magic treasures, and martial arts manuals, and took its contents.
• Xiao Long found an ancient expert’s skeleton in the storeroom, but it crumbled when he touched it, so he took the remaining items.
• Xiao Long went to the Great Desolate Ancient Plains to refine the Devouring Ancestor Talisman and regretted having given the Ancestral Stone to Lin Dong.
• Xiao Long began refining the talisman but discovered that he was incompatible with the world whose aura it carried.

• Ya Fei let rivals enter the Mite'er Auction House, where they were killed, including Yue Shan, leader of the Blood Wolf Gang.
• The Blood Wolf Gang lost its standing among Yan City's three major factions, and the Mite'er Auction House took its place.
• Xiao Long went to the Mite'er Auction House, and the guards let him in because Ya Fei had ordered them to admit anyone who came to see her.
• Ya Fei eagerly welcomed Xiao Long in her room, while the maids waited outside expecting to collect his body.
• Xiao Long asked why Ya Fei had started the auction business, and she said she wanted to help ease his burden.

• Ya Fei suggested that Xiao Long pursue Xuan Su so the two women could serve him together, and Xiao Long recognized whom she meant.
• Ya Fei accused Xiao Long of pursuing a woman while they were apart, but Xiao Long denied it and concealed that the woman was Liu Yan.
• Ya Fei tricked Xiao Long into revealing that a woman’s scent remained on him, then asked who it was.
• Xiao Long refused to answer, so Ya Fei proposed a guessing game; he agreed, and she guessed the woman was from Qingyang Town.

Ya Fei deduced that Xiao Long’s latest lover was his disciple’s mother, then gave in to his teasing while two maids overheard them. The next morning, Xiao Long asked Ya Fei about cities near Yan City that were on the same level.

• Ya Fei reasoned that the woman who had been intimate with Xiao Long lived with them and was not from the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court.
• Ya Fei guessed that the woman was Xiao Long’s disciple’s mother, and Xiao Long confirmed her deduction.
• Xiao Long put off Ya Fei’s promised reward, and she knelt before him while two maids listened outside the door.
• The next morning, Ya Fei cleaned Xiao Long’s hair as he asked which cities near Yan City were of the same level.

Xiao Long asked Ya Fei about the surrounding cities and the Symbol Master Tower before setting off for Tianhuo City to investigate it. He entered the tower unnoticed, confident that his spiritual power and strength surpassed its owner’s.

• Ya Fei told Xiao Long that Tianhuo City controlled the Symbol Master Tower, and he asked her for a map to the city.
• Ya Fei explained that she had invited Xuan Su to join the Mite'er Auction House and wanted Xiao Long to persuade her, but he declined.
• Ya Fei said she would treat Xuan Su as an enemy if she refused to join, and Xiao Long urged her to spare those who could be spared.
• Xiao Long traveled to Tianhuo City, located the Symbol Master Tower, and entered without attracting attention.
• Xiao Long passed through the tower’s nine levels of space with ease, relying on his spiritual power, which had reached the early Heaven Realm.

He set out for the Dao Sect, where his Death Profound Realm strength could also give him a reason to join.

• Wu Dao escorted Xiao Long through the Dao Sect to meet Ying Xuanzi.
• Xiao Long told Ying Xuanzi that he had come to join the Dao Sect because of Ying Xuanzi’s daughter.

• Xiao Long admitted to Ying Xuanzi that he had come for one of his daughters.
• Xiao Long named Ying Xuanzi's younger daughter, Ying Huanhuan, and alarmed Ying Xuanzi, who noted that she was only twelve.
• Xiao Long said he wanted to take Ying Huanhuan as his disciple because of her extraordinary talent.
• Ying Xuanzi offered Ying Xiaoxiao as a more talented alternative, but Xiao Long hesitated.
• Ying Xuanzi threatened Xiao Long unless he honestly explained his intentions, and Xiao Long challenged him to say what he could do if he refused.

Xiao Long used his Demonic Puppets to overcome Ying Xuanzi’s resistance to taking Ying Huanhuan as his disciple, then revealed that she was the vessel for the Ice Master’s reincarnation. Ying Xuanzi was left stunned by the revelation.

• Xiao Long released a Two-star Dou Saint-level Demonic Puppet, making Ying Xuanzi reconsider his hostile stance.
• Xiao Long said he wanted to take Ying Xuanzi’s younger daughter as his disciple, but Ying Xuanzi refused and demanded to know his reason.

• Xiao Long revealed that Ying Huanhuan was the vessel for the reincarnation of the Ice Master, and Ying Xuanzi was thunderstruck.

• Xiao Long explained Ying Huanhuan's identity as the Ice Master's reincarnation, and Ying Xuanzi agreed on the condition that Xiao Long let her awakening happen naturally.
• Xiao Long gave Ying Xuanzi two One-star Dou Saint-level Demonic Puppets and promised to help Ying Huanhuan reach the Ancestor Realm.
• Ying Xuanzi brought Xiao Long to a scenic place where Ying Huanhuan and Ying Xiaoxiao were playing the guqin.
• Ying Xiaoxiao noticed Xiao Long and asked the Dao Comprehension Hall Master who he was.
• The Dao Comprehension Hall Master introduced Xiao Long as the master the sect leader had found for the sisters.

Xiao Long tried to recruit Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan as disciples, but Ying Xiaoxiao rejected him until he revealed his Great Accomplishment Death Profound Realm cultivation. He then offered to teach Ying Huanhuan the Supreme Divine Melody, leaving Ying Xiaoxiao demanding to see it before deciding whether to serve him.

• Dao Comprehension explained that he had brought both Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan because Ying Xuanzi had not specified which daughter should become Xiao Long's disciple.
• Ying Xiaoxiao told Dao Comprehension that neither sister needed a teacher, and Dao Comprehension left after Xiao Long let him go.
• Ying Xiaoxiao questioned Xiao Long's qualifications, so he revealed that he was at the Great Accomplishment Death Profound Realm and expected to reach the Reincarnation Realm within two years.
• Xiao Long said he had originally intended to take only Ying Huanhuan as his disciple and offered to teach her the Supreme Divine Melody.
• Ying Huanhuan deferred to her sister, and Ying Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Long to show her the Supreme Divine Melody, saying she would even become his maid if it satisfied her.
