Chapter Summaries

Dan Chen, Cao Ying, Xiao Yan, and Qinghua revealed powerful Grade Eight pills at the Pill Gathering, while Elder Mu Gu continued refining in secret. As their Dan Thunder prepared to strike, Dan Chen and Cao Ying sent puppets to face it, and Xiao Yan decided he wanted puppets of his own.

• Dan Chen summoned two-colored Dan Thunder, and Cao Ying answered with even stronger thunder that showed a faint third color.
• Xiao Yan revealed his own two-colored Dan Thunder, then watched the gray-robed Qinghua produce richer three-colored thunder and feared losing his chance at the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
• Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Lei Zi recognized Qinghua as an old rival obsessed with Heavenly Flames, while they remained unaware that the disguised Elder Mu Gu was refining nearby.
• As the Dan Thunder gathered to descend, Dan Chen sent up a silver Peak Dou Zong puppet and Cao Ying released a golden Sky Demon Puppet.
• Xiao Yan resolved to ask the Pill Tower's three giants to help him obtain puppets from Lin Feng, hoping to build reliable strength against the Soul Hall.

Xiao Yan and the Pill Tower watched as Elder Mu Gu revealed his identity and displayed a pill whose power surpassed the others. The Pill Tower leaders chose to wait because Mu Gu had not broken the Pill Gathering's rules, leaving him poised to claim the championship.

• Xuan Yi recognized Mu Gu and suspected that a Soul Hall expert had concealed his appearance and aura.
• A Pill Tower elder urged the Three Presidents to stop Mu Gu, but Xuan Kongzi and Tian Lei Zi insisted they could not act while Mu Gu remained within the rules.

Elder Mu Gu’s pill produced Four-Color Dan Thunder, seemingly securing the Pill Gathering championship for the Soul Hall and humiliating the Pill Pagoda. Xiao Yan then used his four Heavenly Flames to refine his pill again, while Cao Ying and Dan Chen looked to Lin Feng to save the Pill Pagoda’s reputation.

• Xiao Yan’s four Heavenly Flames collided, and his soul force enveloped them before their destructive aura could spread.
• Elder Mu Gu grew jealous as he recalled that he had once nearly obtained the Fen Jue before it was stolen from him.

Lin Feng replenished his exhausted Soul Power with a Soul Cultivation Method and continued refining the Bodhi Pill, stunning the spectators with the method and the pill’s power. As the pill neared completion, he added rare Spirit Nurturing Powder to strengthen its spirituality, leaving the Pill Tower elders impressed and wary of his growing influence.

• Lin Feng fused the medicinal ingredients in the Myriad Beast Cauldron and continued refining the Bodhi Pill as powerful energy shockwaves shook the plaza.
• The Pill Tower higher-ups anticipated that Lin Feng’s success would bring honor to the Pill Tower, while the Three Giants worried that his rising standing would make him harder to kill.
• On the third day, Lin Feng took out two grains of Spirit Nurturing Powder and added them to the jade-green pill.
• The alchemists recognized the rare powder, and the Pill Tower elders marveled at the collection of treasures Lin Feng had displayed.

• The Pill Tower elders stared in shock at Lin Feng's achievement.

Lin Feng refined a Bodhi Pill that summoned Eight-colored Pill Lightning, alarming the Pill Tower Three Giants and leaving the crowd doubtful he could survive the final trial. He sent out a Sky Demon Puppet to absorb the lightning, and it endured the first strikes as the storm continued to intensify.

• The Pill Tower Three Giants worried that Lin Feng’s Eight-colored Pill Lightning would sway powerful elders to support him, while others feared the pill lightning would destroy his pill and cost him entry to the Star Realm.

• Lin Feng ordered the puppet into the sky as the Eight-colored thunderclouds gathered above the plaza.
• The puppet collided with the first massive lightning bolt and absorbed its energy, but the thunderclouds kept sending down increasingly powerful strikes.

Lin Feng used the Sky Demon Puppet to absorb most of the Bodhi Pill’s eight-colored Pill Lightning, then drew in and compressed what remained. As the lightning sphere shrank in his hands, the crowd wondered what he planned to do with it.

• After the thunderclouds dispersed, the Sky Demon Puppet’s aura rose sharply, but excess lightning began to crack its body and alarm onlookers.

• Lin Feng endured the remaining lightning’s force and compressed it into a human-head-sized sphere.
• The crowd watched in confusion as Lin Feng continued holding and compressing the Pill Lightning instead of detonating it.

Lin Feng removed the Heaven and Earth Might from the Eight-colored Pill Lightning and used the softened lightning to temper his Bodhi Pill. His method left the pill far purer and astonished the Pill Tower, while Xuan Kongzi noted that few Alchemists could replicate it.

• Lin Feng woke the next day with Xiao Yi Xian and Ye Xinlan beside him and Feng Qing'er lying on top of him.

Lin Feng spent the morning with Ye Xinlan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Feng Qing'er while the Cao Family examined pills that could increase Soul Power. The Cao Family Patriarch decided to pursue a marriage between Cao Ying and Lin Feng and reserved the remaining pills for a promising young family member.

They arranged Flower Sect protection for his escape and then warned the contestants about the danger of the Three Thousand Burning Flame before the Star Realm opened.

• Xiao Yan explained to the Pill Tower Three Giants that Elder Mu Gu had ambushed him in the Pill Realm and that he had killed disciples while defending himself.

Lin Feng’s battle with the three women was interrupted when Zi Yan arrived, attacked Feng Qing’er, and clashed with Xiao Yi Xian before Lin Feng stopped them.

• Xuan Kongzi, Tian Lei Zi, and Xuan Yi warned Xiao Yan that Elder Mu Gu had vanished and the Soul Hall might be plotting to seize Three Thousand Burning Flame.
• Xiao Yan suspected Elder Mu Gu wanted his Fen Jue and Heavenly Flames, discussed the Star Realm with the three Pill Tower leaders, and left to prepare.
• Zi Yan burst into Lin Feng’s room and charged at Feng Qing’er, recognizing her as a Sky Demon Phoenix with a pure bloodline.

Lin Feng reunited with Zi Yan, who argued with Feng Qing'er before offering to help him subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame. She revealed an Ancient Void Dragon senior had once left a Dragon Seal inside the Heavenly Flame, but the senior had vanished in the depths of space.

• Lin Feng stopped Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er from fighting, then asked Zi Yan why she had come and where Xiong Zhan was.
• Zi Yan said she had come to help Lin Feng subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, while Lin Feng offered her an Eighth-grade Eight-colored Pill in exchange for her knowledge.

• Zi Yan summoned a purple dragon phantom and revealed that an Ancient Void Dragon senior had left a Dragon Seal inside the Three Thousand Burning Flame when it was young.
• Zi Yan said the senior had vanished while exploring the depths of space, leaving Lin Feng to rely on the Dragon Seal rather than summon the senior.

Zi Yan gave Lin Feng a Dragon Seal made from Half-Saint Ancient Void Dragon blood to help him subdue Three Thousand Burning Flame, while warning that success depended on his Soul Power. The Pill Tower opened the Star Domain for the Pill Gathering’s top ten, and Lin Feng entered with the other participants as Elder Mu Gu watched.

• Zi Yan placed a Dragon Seal on Lin Feng’s palm and gave him the remaining Half-Saint dragon blood to use on Three Thousand Burning Flame.
• Feng Qing’er warned that the seal could also let the Heavenly Flame control Lin Feng if he failed, but Lin Feng and Zi Yan argued that his Soul Power gave him the advantage.

• Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian joined the entrants, while Ye Xinlan stayed behind after her entry slot was exchanged for an Eight-grade Seven-colored Pill.
• Xuan Kongzi and the other two Pill Tower Giants opened a silver spatial gate and ordered the participants to enter with the First Elder.

Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, and the others entered the Star Realm under Qiu Ling’s command, while the Pill Tower Three Giants prepared for trouble outside. Inside the barren realm, Lin Feng and Xiao Yan sensed the Three Thousand Burning Flame and set their sights on obtaining it.

• Xiao Yan noticed Elder Mu Gu’s desire for the flame and surveyed the desolate Star Realm, which lacked the features of a Dou Sheng-created world.

Lin Feng and the others traveled through the Star Realm toward the Three Thousand Burning Flame, learning about the realm’s dangerous stellar power and spatial rifts. As they neared their destination, the Heavenly Flames in Lin Feng and Xiao Yan reacted intensely.

• Elder Mu Gu plotted to seize Xiao Yan’s Fen Jue and planned to offer the group’s powerful Soul Bodies to the Ninth Heavenly Venerate.
• Xiao Yi Xian sensed the chill in the starlight, and Qiu Ling explained that stellar power sustained the Three Thousand Burning Flame and could destroy the Star Realm.

• Lin Feng sensed that they were close to the Three Thousand Burning Flame as the Heavenly Flames in his body surged, and Xiao Yan reacted with greedy excitement.

Lin Feng and the others reached Three Thousand Burning Flame, whose immense dragon form left the group shaken. When Elder Mu Gu tried to take his turn ahead of Lin Feng, Xiao Yi Xian stopped him and Lin Feng flew toward the flame, leaving Mu Gu fuming.

• Qiu Ling warned the group not to disturb Three Thousand Burning Flame, and they saw the enormous flame-wreathed dragon coiled in the void.
• Lin Feng felt the Dragon Seal Zi Yan had planted grow warm and told Xiao Yi Xian that he would have little chance of subduing the flame without it.
• Qiu Ling ordered the contestants to take turns attempting to subdue Three Thousand Burning Flame gently and warned them against waking it.
• Elder Mu Gu walked toward the dragon ahead of Lin Feng, but Xiao Yi Xian struck him with Dou Qi while Lin Feng flew toward the flame.
• Qiu Ling dismissed Mu Gu's complaint, and Xiao Yan, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen laughed as Mu Gu threatened them in anger.

Lin Feng approached the sealed Three Thousand Burning Flame and secretly prepared dragon blood, intending to subdue the Heavenly Flame before Elder Mu Gu could involve the Soul Hall. The onlookers misread his actions as futile, while Lin Feng moved to act.

• Lin Feng reached the Three Thousand Burning Flame and examined the black-thread runes sealing its exposed dragon scale.
• Lin Feng secretly poured dragon blood onto his hand, hoping to use it to secure the Heavenly Flame before the Soul Hall could interfere.
• Xiao Yan and First Elder Qiu Ling assumed Lin Feng could not subdue another Heavenly Flame, while Cao Ying wondered if he could absorb more than one.
• Dan Chen watched Lin Feng in confusion, and Elder Mu Gu eagerly anticipated his failure.
