Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng and Yun Yun explored the outer halls of a Dou Sheng relic, where the depleted dou qi and ruined pills suggested that something was absorbing the small world's energy. They found most of the valuable supplies already taken, but the last rack in the Outer Dou Skill Hall held a trace showing that a single scroll titled “Earth Tier? Heaven Tier? This Saint's comprehension of dou qi!” had once been there.

• Lin Feng and Yun Yun flew across withered grasslands and found a vast palace separated from them by a Spatial Barrier that had vanished.
• Lin Feng and Yun Yun searched the Outer Pill Hall and discovered that every pill left in its jade bottles had become black powder, which Lin Feng suspected had been drained of energy.
• Lin Feng and Yun Yun entered the Outer Dou Skill Hall and found that most Earth Tier scrolls had been taken, while Yun Yun collected the scattered scrolls that remained.
• Lin Feng noticed that the final Earth Tier rack bore the inscription “Earth Tier? Heaven Tier? This Saint's comprehension of dou qi!” and a trace showing that one scroll had been removed.

After discovering that the Grand Xuan Fire Control Array scroll had been kept in the Outer Dou Skill Hall, Lin Feng and Yun Yun headed toward the ruins’ center. Five apparently lifeless magical beasts attacked them, and Lin Feng assigned Yun Yun and the two Human Puppets to fight three while he watched the remaining two.

• Lin Feng matched the Grand Xuan Fire Control Array scroll to the marks on the wooden rack and inferred that the ruins had inner halls with even better Dou Skills.
• Lin Feng and Yun Yun flew past the outer halls toward the cluster of buildings at the ruins’ center.
• Five huge magical beasts emerged and attacked, but Lin Feng sensed no life force in them and suspected someone was controlling them.
• Lin Feng sent the two Human Puppets against two beasts and told Yun Yun to fight a third while he handled the remaining pair.
• Yun Yun fought a Six-star Dou Zun-level beast with her sword and movement skills, holding her own as Lin Feng watched over her.

Lin Feng and Yun Yun fought controlled Magical Beasts in the ruins and followed Xiao Ling’s warning toward a powerful Heavenly Flame. They found the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire guarding a skeleton and then flew to inspect a second skeleton nearby.

• Lin Feng’s bloodline pressure briefly frightened two Magical Beasts, but he destroyed them and confirmed they had been dead and controlled by someone.
• Yun Yun and the Human Puppets finished off their opponents, and Lin Feng led Yun Yun toward the ruins’ inner hall.
• Xiao Ling sensed a powerful Heavenly Flame ahead and urged Lin Feng to seek it, while he suspected it was the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire.
• Lin Feng and Yun Yun approached the golden flames, where razor-sharp gales battered their protective barrier and revealed a vast sandy field.
• They saw a seated skeleton channeling the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire into a huge golden cauldron, then spotted another skeleton far away.
• Lin Feng speculated that the two skeletons might have been enemies who died together and flew with Yun Yun to examine the distant skeleton.

Lin Feng and Yun Yun discovered a female Dou Sheng skeleton among ruins damaged by lightning, but a remnant of Golden Lightning entered Lin Feng when he picked it up. Xiao Ling contained the dangerous current, and Lin Feng stored the remains, planning to seek help with the lightning once they escaped.

• Lin Feng and Yun Yun examined the ruined halls and concluded that the nearby skeleton belonged to a powerful female Dou Sheng whose Storage Ring had been destroyed.
• When Lin Feng lifted the skeleton, a wisp of Golden Lightning entered his body, and Xiao Ling trapped it with Heavenly Flames but could not destroy it.
• Lin Feng's Soul Perception was annihilated when it approached the lightning, so he decided to keep it contained and ask Sister Zhao or her brother for help later.
• Lin Feng suspected the lightning had killed the female Dou Sheng and lingered in her remains, then confirmed the skeleton held valuable Dou Sheng bone marrow.
• Lin Feng picked up the remains without triggering another attack and stored them in his Storage Ring.

Lin Feng and Yun Yun examined the skeletons and fire cauldron, concluding that a Ninth-grade Alchemist and a female Dou Sheng had died over a powerful pill. After taking the alchemist’s Storage Ring, they discovered poison on his bones, and Yun Yun began fighting a mysterious force that had taken control of her body.

• Lin Feng explained that the skeleton had been refining an exceptionally powerful pill when Dan Thunder killed the alchemist and a female Dou Sheng who had intervened.
• Lin Feng warned Yun Yun not to disturb the fire cauldron, then carefully removed the alchemist’s Storage Ring.
• Lin Feng found black poison-corroded bones near the alchemist’s heart and suspected the female Dou Sheng had used poison to kill him.
• Yun Yun tried to take the skeleton, but Lin Feng pulled her away; she denied reaching for it before golden light returned to her eyes.
• Yun Yun attacked Lin Feng under mysterious control, then regained some awareness and struggled to reclaim control of her body.

Lin Feng and Yun Yun discovered that a ninth-tier medicinal pill inside the fire cauldron had controlled Yun Yun and freed itself after she knocked away the skeleton. The Golden-robed Man emerged, used Spatial Shift to intercept them, and offered to let Yun Yun go while keeping Lin Feng, leaving Lin Feng suspicious of his motives.

• The pill controlled Yun Yun and made her strike the skeleton, cutting off the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire that fed the cauldron.

• Lin Feng pleaded for them both to leave, but the Golden-robed Man offered Yun Yun the skeleton and the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire while ordering Lin Feng to stay.

Lin Feng and Yun Yun discovered that the Golden-robed Man was an imperfect Ninth-grade Golden Core who controlled Nine Profound Golden Lightning and planned to use Lin Feng's Heavenly Flame to advance to Nine-star Dou Sheng.

• The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader examined the Golden-robed Man and confirmed that he was a Ninth-grade Golden Core with an imperfect aura.

Lin Feng and Yun Yun escaped the ruin through a spatial passage opened by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader's projection, while she stayed behind to hold off the Golden-robed Man. Her final attack destroyed the passage and injured him, but the projection vanished, leaving the Golden-robed Man trapped and Lin Feng and Yun Yun racing through the collapsing passage.

• The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Leader's projection opened a spatial passage and warned Lin Feng to flee with Yun Yun, whose emotions were affected by the Golden Core's Pill Fragrance.

• Wan Xing and Old Demon Heavenly Nether ordered the sect to monitor Xiao Yan and Yao Chen and join the Soul Hall in capturing them when they left Sacred Pill City.

After returning from the Dou Sheng Relic with the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire, Lin Feng learned that Zhao Yuan’s resurrection materials were ready. He left with Zhao Ran to perform the Secret Technique for her brother.

• Lin Feng returned to his castle after nearly a month and a half away, and learned that Cao Ying and Dan Chen had advanced to six-star Dou Zuns while Qing Lin and Xin Lan remained in seclusion.
• Lin Feng gave the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire to Yun Yun to store and learned from Zhao Ran that the medicinal pill and a High-level Half-Saint Nine Netherworld Underworld Python’s essence blood were ready for Zhao Yuan’s resurrection.

• Lin Feng told Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Yun Yun to refine their Ninth-grade Heavenly Phoenix Bone Wings into Flying Dou Skills, then departed with Zhao Ran for Zhao Yuan’s location.

He gave Zhao Ran treasures to compensate the Spatial Trading Fair and improve her son’s cultivation, then went to help Zhao Yuan attempt his breakthrough before pursuing the map.

• Zhao Yuan split off a wisp of his soul while Lin Feng poured Heavenly Serpent blood over the body.
• Lin Feng used Heavenly Flames to refine the blood-red corpse as Zhao Yuan watched anxiously for several days.

Lin Feng completed the preparations to revive Zhao Yuan and began the final Heavenly Flame tempering as Zhao Yuan fused with his new body. Outside, Zhao Ran introduced Lin Feng to her son, Zhao Wei, and tried to make them close, leaving Zhao Wei suspicious and embarrassed about being told to call the much younger Lin Feng “Uncle.”

• Lin Feng fused Zhao Yuan’s soul fragment and the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python essence blood into the prepared corpse, then called Zhao Yuan to enter it after signs of life appeared.

• Lin Feng defended Zhao Wei’s dignity, and Zhao Ran reluctantly stopped pressing him to use the title.

Lin Feng left Zhao Ran and Zhao Wei to enter seclusion and prepare for the Ancient Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony, which was only a little over a month away. After he vanished, Zhao Ran beat Zhao Wei for failing to befriend Lin Feng, and Zhao Wei’s joke about her having a child with Lin Feng only made her whip him harder.

• Lin Feng told Zhao Ran that Zhao Yuan’s recovery depended on himself and said he would enter seclusion to strengthen himself before the Ancient Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Lin Feng and an Ancient Void Dragon Clan expert settled into the Ancient Clan manor, while Gu Xun'er learned of his arrival and planned to use his coming battle with Gu Qingyang to assess and defeat him.
