Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng reunited with Xiao Yi Xian, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen in the Lightning Pool and gave them Ancient Void Dragon essence blood to strengthen their bodies. After explaining the pool’s benefits, he watched the three women enter it to cultivate while he prepared to absorb the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

• Mang Tianchi explained that bloodline mutations could produce descendants with stronger Dou Di bloodlines, then left Lin Feng alone.
• Xiao Yi Xian, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen arrived, and Lin Feng gave them three drops of High-level Half-Saint Ancient Dragon Essence Blood.
• Lin Feng told the women about his trip to East Dragon Island and the spatial and speed talents he had gained.
• Lin Feng explained that the Lightning Pool could accelerate cultivation and advised the women to use their flames for protection.
• Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Xiao Yi Xian entered the Lightning Pool to cultivate, while Lin Feng went aside to prepare to absorb the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Lin Feng began refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in the depths of the void, confident that his fused flames could subdue it. Two days into the process, the flame suddenly released mysterious energy fluctuations that left him alarmed and unable to intervene.

• Lin Feng flew beyond the Void Lightning Pool, found a secluded spot in the void, and prepared to refine the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
• Lin Feng pulled the flame's resistant Fire Seed from its core and swallowed it, then used Fen Jue and his fused exotic flames to suppress it.
• Lin Feng's refinement proceeded smoothly, while Yao Chen's aura on the Fire Seed weakened and Lin Feng expected to erase it within three days.
• After two more days, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame erupted with powerful, unfamiliar fluctuations that spread through Lin Feng's body.
• Lin Feng panicked at the unexplained fluctuations and cursed that they had not occurred when Xiao Yan refined the flame.

Lin Feng’s attempt to control the Bone Spirit Cold Flame instead triggered its hidden Secret Technique and pulled him into the River of Time. There, he met Han Shanshan, who explained how he had arrived and left him wondering whether the darkness behind him was the future.

• Lin Feng tried to suppress the Bone Spirit Cold Flame with Dou Qi and his Heavenly Flames, but the Fire Seed absorbed them both.
• Lin Feng tried to force the Fire Seed out of his body, but it absorbed his Dou Qi and then erupted in dazzling white light.
• Lin Feng awoke beside a vast river of life fragments and found that the darkness behind him swallowed all light.
• A woman appeared and identified the place as the River of Time, one of the world's forbidden lands.
• Han Shanshan told Lin Feng that damaging her Secret Technique had exposed the entrance hidden in the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and accidentally pulled him into the river.
• Lin Feng recognized Han Shanshan and wondered whether the passing scenes showed the past and the darkness represented the future.

Lin Feng learned that damaging Yao Chen’s Soul Imprint had brought him into the River of Time, where he encountered Han Shanshan. Han Shanshan offered to trade a more powerful, ownerless Bone Spirit Cold Flame for his help leaving the river and returning Yao Chen’s flame, but Lin Feng had not agreed.

• Han Shanshan explained that Lin Feng entered the River of Time because his absorption of Yao Chen’s Bone Spirit Cold Flame damaged her imprint, which had merged with Yao Chen’s Soul Imprint.
• Lin Feng told Han Shanshan that Yao Chen had escaped Soul Hall with help from Xuan Yi and others and had become a Half-Saint, and she rejoiced at the news.
• Lin Feng wandered through the River of Time, watching the lives of people from many different backgrounds.
• Han Shanshan proposed that Lin Feng take her out of the river and return Yao Chen’s Bone Spirit Cold Flame in exchange for a stronger flame she had preserved.
• Han Shanshan summoned an ownerless Bone Spirit Cold Flame that Lin Feng judged to be about three times as powerful as Yao Chen’s.

Lin Feng initially refused Han Shanshan’s offer to trade her Bone Spirit Cold Flame for Yao Chen’s Heavenly Flame, but changed his mind after hearing a mysterious sound from the River of Time. Han Shanshan vanished before completing her explanation, and an immensely powerful old man appeared before Lin Feng.

• Lin Feng refused Han Shanshan’s Bone Spirit Cold Flame because he did not want Xiao Yan to grow stronger.
• A mysterious sound from the River of Time caused Lin Feng to reconsider, and he agreed to return Yao Chen’s Heavenly Flame in exchange for Han Shanshan’s flame.
• Han Shanshan agreed to the deal and began explaining that the broken restrictions would let her leave the River of Time as a soul.
• Illusory chains appeared around Han Shanshan and exploded, after which she vanished in a flash of pale green light.
• Lin Feng called for the mysterious speaker, and an old man in coarse linen appeared and overwhelmed him with spiritual pressure.
• The old man removed the pressure, allowing Lin Feng to collapse and catch his breath.

Lin Feng met the Medicine Emperor, who asked about the Yao Clan and the modern Dou Qi Continent. Lin Feng described the clan’s decline and the Soul Clan’s rise, leaving the Medicine Emperor to consider how the Soul Clan had preserved and strengthened its bloodline.

• The Medicine Emperor revealed that he was the Yao Clan’s ancient Dou Di ancestor, and Lin Feng feared he had come to punish him for mistreating Yao Chen and Han Shanshan.
• The Medicine Emperor assured Lin Feng he would not attack him and said he had come to learn about the world outside and the Yao Clan; he also reaffirmed his promise to reward Lin Feng for bringing Yao Chen and Han Shanshan together.
• Lin Feng explained that only seven and a half Dou God Clans remained, the Yao Clan had no Emperor-grade pill alchemists, and the lack of Source Qi had prevented anyone from reaching Dou Di for over ten thousand years.
• Lin Feng described the Yao Clan’s current experts and promising younger generation, and the Medicine Emperor lamented how far his clan had declined.
• The Medicine Emperor asked about the Soul Clan, and Lin Feng said it had used the Nihility Devouring Flame to consume the Tunling Clan chief, replenish its bloodline by slaughtering Imperial Clans, and produce two Divine-grade bloodlines.

Lin Feng learned why the Tunling Clan fell and discussed the Soul Clan’s threat to the Yao Clan with the Medicine Emperor, who revealed he was only a remnant soul unable to bring objects across time. The Medicine Emperor began teaching Lin Feng alchemy, and Lin Feng started refining an eighth-tier low-grade pill as his teacher examined his unusual flames and aura.

• Lin Feng explained that the Tunling Clan was worn down by allied Imperial Clans and provoked their crusade by slaughtering clans to absorb their bloodlines.
• Lin Feng told the Medicine Emperor that the Yao Clan ranked third from the bottom among the Imperial Clans and might eventually face the Soul Clan, though few would likely help it.
• The Medicine Emperor revealed that he was a remnant soul from roughly a hundred thousand years earlier and could not bring Origin Emperor Qi or other physical objects through the River of Time.
• The Medicine Emperor offered to teach Lin Feng alchemy and gave him an eighth-tier low-grade Pill Recipe to test his skill.
• Lin Feng began refining the pill with his Black Flame, while the Medicine Emperor recognized seven fused Heavenly Flames and traces of Ancient Void Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix aura in him.

Lin Feng refined a pill under the Medicine Emperor’s guidance and received a harsh assessment of his alchemy talent and prospects. After learning how far the Medicine Emperor had surpassed him at the same age, Lin Feng explained that soul cultivation methods had largely been lost on the modern Dou Qi Continent.

• After refining pills for around ten days, Lin Feng formed a pill in the cauldron.
• The Medicine Emperor judged Lin Feng’s alchemy crude and estimated his chance of becoming a Golden Pill Alchemist at less than ten percent.
• Lin Feng defended his standing as the continent’s publicly recognized alchemy prodigy, but the Medicine Emperor said he would have ranked only among the top fifteen in his era’s competition.
• Lin Feng asked about the Medicine Emperor’s achievements at age twenty-seven, and the Medicine Emperor recalled reaching Ninth-grade Treasure Pill Alchemist, late Heavenly Realm soul, and Peak First-Star Dou Sheng.
• The Medicine Emperor questioned why Lin Feng had such a low-ranked Soul Cultivation Method, and Lin Feng explained that most such methods had been lost on the current continent.

Lin Feng spent more than a year learning alchemy from the Medicine Emperor in the sunless River of Time, strengthening his soul by consuming the pills he refined. As the Medicine Emperor prepared to leave, he gave Lin Feng a vast store of knowledge, leaving Lin Feng to absorb it.

• The Medicine Emperor told Lin Feng to consume his first pill, then guided him through refining more pills and taught him alchemy techniques.
• Lin Feng spent roughly half a year studying alchemy and observing people from the past in the River of Time.
• After more than a year, the Medicine Emperor said his avatar could no longer endure the River of Time and ended Lin Feng's lessons.
• Lin Feng thanked the Medicine Emperor and promised to help the Yao Clan if the Soul Clan attacked it.
• The Medicine Emperor assessed Lin Feng's future alchemy prospects and sent a torrent of information into his mind, prompting Lin Feng to sit down and sort through it.

Lin Feng returned from the River of Time after receiving the Medicine Emperor’s Heaven-tier Soul Cultivation Method, alchemical knowledge, and a boost to his Soul Power and Dou Qi. He resolved to honor the Medicine Emperor’s requests to preserve some of the Yao Clan and spare Yao Chen and the girl if possible.

• The Medicine Emperor gave Lin Feng a low-grade Heaven-tier Soul Cultivation Method and asked him to preserve part of the Yao Clan and spare the girl and Yao Chen if he could.
• The Medicine Emperor vanished from the River of Time before Lin Feng could hear the rest of his final message, and Lin Feng respectfully bid him farewell.
• Lin Feng was expelled from the River of Time, and his Soul Power surged close to the middle stage of the Heaven Realm while his Dou Qi reached the peak of Five-star Dou Zun.
• Lin Feng sensed the golden energy left in his soul by the Medicine Emperor’s medicinal-herb condensation, which would continue strengthening his soul over the next three to five years.
• Lin Feng accepted the danger of his promise and resolved to save Yao Clan members when possible or hide some away before the Medicine Canon began.

Lin Feng brought Han Shanshan’s Bone Spirit Cold Flame with him out of the void and reunited with Dan Chen, Cao Ying, and Xiao Yi Xian. He discovered that more than a year in the River of Time had amounted to only about a month outside, leaving him stunned by its accelerated flow.

• Lin Feng pulled the Bone Spirit Cold Flame from his meridians and agreed to take Han Shanshan out of the void before returning her later.
• Lin Feng flew back through a spatial barrier to the Void Lightning Pool and summoned Dan Chen, Cao Ying, and Xiao Yi Xian with Space Jade Slips.
• Dan Chen and Cao Ying welcomed Lin Feng and remarked on his powerful Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, while Xiao Yi Xian felt overwhelmed by his pressure.
• Lin Feng was shocked when Dan Chen said only two months had passed outside, despite his memory of spending nearly two years in the River of Time.
• Lin Feng compared their cultivation levels and estimated that time in the River of Time passed roughly twelve times faster than in the outside world.

Lin Feng concealed the River of Time from his wives and told them he had received an ancient expert’s inheritance while absorbing the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. He revealed that the expert was a Dou Emperor and Emperor-grade Alchemist, then passed Cao Ying and Dan Chen information about a Heaven-tier treasure.

• Lin Feng felt pain and received a warning when he tried to explain the River of Time, so he told Xiao Yi Xian that an ancient expert’s inheritance had confused his sense of time.
• Lin Feng said only two months had passed and revealed that the inheritance belonged to a Dou Emperor who was also an Emperor-grade Alchemist.
• Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Xiao Yi Xian asked about the inheritance, and Lin Feng promised to teach them its alchemy techniques, which surpassed the Pill Tower’s methods.
• Lin Feng told the women that the inheritance contained no pills, then shared information about a Heaven-tier treasure with Cao Ying and Dan Chen.
• Cao Ying and Dan Chen reacted with excitement, and Lin Feng covered their lips before they could say the treasure’s name aloud.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian received a powerful Soul Cultivation Method, then set out for the Northwest Continent to bring Qing Lin, Cai Lin, and Yun'er back. Cao Ying and Dan Chen stayed behind to find land in the Central Region and build a city for the family.

• Lin Feng passed the Soul Cultivation Method to Xiao Yi Xian, who was shocked by its power and potential.
• Lin Feng assigned Cao Ying and Dan Chen to find a site in the Central Region and build a city while he and Xiao Yi Xian traveled away.
• Lin Feng flew with the women through the void to the Southern Region, where his arrival frightened nearby magical beasts into fleeing.
• Cao Ying and Dan Chen headed north to search for a city site, while Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian prepared to return to the Northwest Continent.
• Lin Feng told Xiao Yi Xian they would visit the Heavenly Serpent Mansion for Qing Lin before going to the Jia Ma Empire, and they departed.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian reached the Heavenly Snake Empire after crossing the Western Desolate Great Desert, where they had slain powerful experts to collect Dou Zun corpses. At the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Lin Feng encountered the grown Ten-Winged Black Serpent Emperor and revealed that it had forgotten him.

• Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian crossed the Western Desolate Great Desert after Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian killed many notorious experts there, including Hu Sheng, to collect Dou Zun corpses.
• Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian flew into the Heavenly Snake Empire's capital despite the ban on flying and headed for the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
• The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor intercepted Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian, and Lin Feng recognized that it had grown to the middle stage of the Dou Zong class.
• The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor questioned the intruders and secretly called for support, while Lin Feng told it that Senior Bai Ya had forgotten him.

Lin Feng confronted the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and demanded that it release Qing Lin, prompting Lü Man and Bai Ya to recognize him as the boy they had met in the Tagor Desert ten years earlier. They warned him that their Mansion Master was a Dou Zun, while Xiao Yi Xian laughed at their confidence and pointed out that a One-star Dou Zun was no match for the Central Continent’s Four Pavilions.

• A green-clad young woman and several Heavenly Serpent Mansion Dou Emperors arrived after Bai Ya reported an intruder.
• Lin Feng demanded that Lü Man and Bai Ya hand over Qing Lin, then revealed his Green Lotus Core Flame and overwhelmed them with its heat.
• Lü Man and Bai Ya recognized Lin Feng from their encounter in the Tagor Desert ten years earlier and were shocked by how much stronger he had become.
• Lü Man and Bai Ya warned Lin Feng that their Mansion Master had reached the Dou Zun realm and would defeat him if he tried to take Qing Lin.
• Xiao Yi Xian laughed at their claims and said the Four Pavilions were far stronger than a One-star Dou Zun.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian confronted the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, where Lin Feng effortlessly subdued its disciples and Young Mansion Master. The Mansion Master attacked despite Qing Lin's warning, while Lin Feng told Xiao Yi Xian not to kill him.

• Xiao Yi Xian warned Lin Feng about the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's powerful allies, but Lin Feng knocked out the mansion's disciples with a snort.
• Lü Man and Bai Ya warned Lin Feng that the Mansion Master would kill him, and the Mansion Master appeared and ordered them to accept punishment for failing to guard the mansion.
• The Young Mansion Master arrived and insulted Lin Feng, who paralyzed him with a glare as onlookers watched in shock.
• Qing Lin recognized Lin Feng and shouted for the Mansion Master not to attack him, while Lin Feng told Xiao Yi Xian not to kill the Mansion Master.
• The Mansion Master charged Lin Feng, resentful that Qing Lin cared for him and determined to keep her for his grandson.

Lin Feng defeated and poisoned the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master, then reunited with Qing Lin and offered to take her away. The Mansion Master agreed to let Qing Lin leave, and Lin Feng gave the Heavenly Serpent Mansion a Jin Zun Pill in gratitude for raising her.

• The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master suddenly spat black blood and collapsed, and Qing Lin found that his life was not in danger.
• Lin Feng embraced Qing Lin as she tearfully told him how much she had missed him.

• Lin Feng gave the Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master a Jin Zun Pill to repay the mansion for raising Qing Lin.

Lin Feng reunited with Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, then returned to the Misty Cloud Sect and reunited with Yun Yun after more than five years away. The chapter ended with Lin Feng and Yun Yun spending several days alone together.

• Lin Feng gave Bai Ya and Lü Man Essence Replenishing Pills, then left with Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian.
• Qing Lin lamented that Lin Feng was still much stronger than her, and he promised to help her grow stronger in Central Province.
• Lin Feng arrived at Misty Cloud Mountain, where Yun Shan recognized him and Yun Yun rushed into his arms.
• Yun Yun reproached Lin Feng for leaving without her, then Lin Feng took her to her home while Xiao Yi Xian kept Qing Lin from following.
• Lin Feng and Yun Yun spent several days together in her bedroom.

Lin Feng learned that Cai Lin had given birth to their daughter, then showed Yun Yun rare treasures he had brought back from Central Continent to help her grow stronger. Yun Yun was moved by his gifts, especially a Heaven Grade cultivation method, and eagerly pulled him into another embrace.

• Yun Yun told Lin Feng that Cai Lin's daughter had been born two years earlier with Dou Zong strength and was angry that Lin Feng had not visited her.
• Lin Feng gave Yun Yun an Essence Replenishing Pill, Earth Origin Gale, and two drops of Dou Sheng bone marrow, explaining their benefits.
• Lin Feng showed Yun Yun the Wind Fury Taiyuan Art, a low-tier Heaven Grade cultivation method he had saved for her.
• Yun Yun was deeply moved by Lin Feng's gift and took the initiative to resume their lovemaking.

Lin Feng prepared Yun Shan for a resurrection that could help him break through to Dou Zun, then began the secret technique while Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin went their separate ways. As Yun Shan’s soul merged with a powerful new body, Lin Feng examined the Creation Saint’s scrolls and discovered a bone-white scroll emitting chilling energy.

• Yun Shan agreed to kill himself and undergo Lin Feng’s resurrection technique despite his fear, while Lin Feng told Yun Yun to strengthen herself and sent Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to the Black Corner Region with gifts for Cai Lin.
• Lin Feng raised Yun Shan to Nine-star Dou Zong and strengthened his soul before Yun Shan killed himself and Lin Feng began the resurrection using Hu Sheng’s body, Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast essence blood, and a six-colored Dan Thunder Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melting Pill.
• Within a day, Yun Shan’s soul entered the new body and began merging, and Lin Feng stayed nearby to monitor the process.
• Lin Feng opened the Creation Saint’s scrolls, set aside an Earth Tier Advanced Fighting Skill and a Cultivation Method, then noticed chilling energy coming from a bone-white scroll and opened it.
