He revealed how Xiao Yan’s actions had shaped his rise and confessed that he had killed Han Feng and obtained Fen Jue from him.

As Xiao Yan neared death, he made one final plea for Lin Feng to rescue his father and brothers and let them live peacefully.

• Lin Feng blamed Xiao Yan for the Xiao Family Massacre and his relatives’ capture, provoking him into wasting Soul Power until Xiao Yan recognized the manipulation.
• Xiao Yan tried to escape Lin Feng’s flame prison, then offered to submit to refinement if Lin Feng would rescue his father and two brothers; Lin Feng refused his request to send a final message to Xun'er.
• Lin Feng agreed to the bargain after Xiao Yan accepted that thirty percent of his Origin Soul Qi would be refined first, then used the Fallen Heart Flame to weaken him.

Lin Feng sent Qing Lin to absorb the accumulated Soul Origins and set out to strengthen the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan, while Gu Xun’er learned that Xiao Yan had died.

Gu Xun'er mourned Xiao Yan and hid the last Tou She Ancient God Jade while considering whether to seek revenge or trade it for his relatives. Meanwhile, Lin Feng learned the Pill Pagoda’s contingency plan, strengthened the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan with promises of pills, and examined how to repair Pingnan Pass City as he investigated the ancient conflict behind its destruction.

• Gu Xun'er vowed to avenge Xiao Yan, then hid the jade shard and decided to ask Yao Chen for advice before choosing between revenge and rescuing Xiao Zhan and the others.
• Lin Feng turned Xuan Yi into a Fire Slave and learned that the Pill Pagoda planned to create a hidden small world as a refuge.
• Yao Ming reported that pill resources had greatly strengthened the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python Clan, and Lin Feng promised to refine more pills for them in exchange for a dangerous future mission and a search for rare materials.
• Lin Feng gave Yao Ming a list of medicinal plant seeds and artifact materials to locate, then studied the blueprint for repairing Pingnan Pass City.
• Lin Feng wondered how the Tong Ling Sect had breached Pingnan Pass City and whether the giant tree and Ancient Heavenly Demon Python recognized him as an ally.

A month later, Gu Yuan gathered the Ancient Clan’s forces at the Ancient Saint Mountain Range, where the Yan Clan’s crimson-eyed leader arrived.

Gu Yuan and Yan Jin assembled their clans and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance on the Eastern Region Great Plains to confront the Soul Clan, while Lin Feng learned of their movements and sent disguised forces to infiltrate the Yan and Ancient Clans. The allied forces awaited the Soul Clan as Lin Feng’s agents entered their targets to sabotage formations and harvest resources.

• Yan Jin joined Gu Yuan with the Yan Clan’s elites, and the two clan chiefs agreed that they needed to cripple the Soul Clan while keeping Tou She Ancient God’s Cave Mansion closed.
• Gu Yuan led the Ancient and Yan Clan forces toward the Eastern Region Great Plains and announced that the Heavenly Mansion Alliance would support them, with the Yao Clan remnants serving as a medical team.

• Gu Yuan’s forces reached the plains, searched for Soul Clan ambushes, and welcomed Yao Chen and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance’s seven Dou Shengs.
• Lin Feng sent two disguised Yao Clan elders to infiltrate the Yan Clan and attack its protective formation while gathering bloodline and souls, then sent Lei Qian and four Fire Slaves to infiltrate the Ancient Clan.

Lin Feng sent a Fire Slave to observe the war as Hun Tiandi arrived with the Soul Clan’s forces and traded Xiao Zhan and his sons for Gu Xun’er’s final piece of Tou She Ancient God Jade. Gu Yuan and the allied clans launched an attack on Hun Tiandi, and the battle began as Nihility Devouring Flame prepared to fight.

• Lin Feng chose to scout the battlefield through a Fire Slave instead of risking his own life.

• Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and the allied clans unleashed coordinated attacks on Hun Tiandi as Nihility Devouring Flame prepared to join the battle.

Nihility Devouring Flame summoned four powerful Soul Clan Living Dead to confront the allied forces while he went to search for Hun Tiandi.

• Yan Jin and the Ancient Clan Three Immortals split their forces to attack the Soul Clan from separate directions, and the Yan Clan’s flame bell shattered the Soul Clan’s Destruction Seal.

• Nihility Devouring Flame left to search for Hun Tiandi, and Yan Jin, Black Mist King, and their allies charged Hun Yuantian.

The Soul Clan trapped the Ancient, Yan, and Heavenly Mansion Alliance experts inside a Realm of Death, while Lin Feng secretly possessed one of the trapped fighters and marked Yao Chen and Xiao Zhan’s group. Inside the array, Elder Huo Ling negotiated with a powerful remnant soul for help escaping, but his demands left her with a costly bargain to consider.

• The four Living Dead deployed the Deathly Silence Gates and sealed the allied experts inside the Realm of Death, while Nihility Devouring Flame left to seek Hun Tiandi.
• Lin Feng possessed a Heavenly Mansion Alliance Dou Sheng and sent hidden auras into Xiao Zhan and his sons as Yao Chen fled with them.
• The trapped experts attacked the array but failed to break it, and Yan Jin led them through a region cleared by his flames to search for a weak point.
• A mysterious remnant soul contacted Huo Ling and offered to help break the array if the Ancient Clan and Yan Clan sacrificed powerful fighters.
• The remnant soul demanded eight Dou Shengs to consume and named rare materials in exchange for later help, then offered resistance against Nihility Devouring Flame and pills to help Huo Ling reach Eight-star Dou Sheng.
• Huo Ling agreed to consider the deal only after the remnant soul helped them escape and let her inspect the promised equipment, but he insisted she must provide the requested items.

Elder Huo Ling negotiated with a mysterious remnant soul, who was actually Lin Feng, to seize control of a Deathly Silence Gate and help the trapped allied forces escape. Yan Jin convinced the Ancient Clan to accept a costly plan by offering the Emperor Flame Mysterious Canon as collateral, and Lin Feng entered Hun Yuantian’s gate through Huo Ling’s body to erase its soul imprint.

• Elder Huo Ling told Yan Jin that a remnant soul inside a Deathly Silence Gate could create a weakness in the formation, but breaking it would require experts to self-destruct.
• Yan Jin proposed the plan to the trapped forces, but Gu Xun'er rejected it until Yan Jin offered the Ancient Clan his Storage Ring and the Emperor Flame Mysterious Canon as collateral for their revival.
• Gu Lie accepted Yan Jin’s offer, and the allied forces agreed to proceed while Huo Ling prepared to enter Hun Yuantian’s Deathly Silence Gate.
• Hun Yuantian pulled Huo Ling into the gate, where Lin Feng took control of her body and found the black stone holding Hun Yuantian’s soul imprint.
• Lin Feng poured his Soul Power into the black stone to erase the imprint as Hun Yuantian watched the trapped forces weaken outside.

Lin Feng and Fire Spirit used the Deathly Silence Gate to break the Soul Clan’s array, capture Hun Yuantian, and help the allied armies escape, though the fighting left heavy casualties. Gu Yuan arrived and forced the Soul Clan to retreat, then learned that Gu Lie, Gu Dao, and two other Ancient Clan elders had sacrificed themselves and remained only as remnant souls.

• Lin Feng severed Hun Yuantian’s control of the Deathly Silence Gate, and Huo Ling weakened the array so Gu Lie and the Ancient Clan Three Immortals could break it by self-destructing.
• Huo Ling used the gate to capture Hun Yuantian and swallow Soul Clan fighters while Yan Jin organized the allied forces’ retreat under attack from Hun Yao and the Soul Clan army.
• Lin Feng withdrew toward the Central Region as Fire Spirit fled the battlefield, and Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and Nihility Devouring Flame emerged from their clash with severe injuries.

• After the Soul and Ancient Clans left, spectators fought over the battle’s remains while Lin Feng returned to his small world with the Deathly Silence Gate.
• Lin Feng entered the gate, killed its captured Dou Shengs while preserving their souls, and used the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to enslave Hun Yuantian.
• Hun Yuantian revealed that he knew the Deathly Silence Gate’s cultivation method and one quarter of the Great Array of the Realm of Death, and Lin Feng gave him a life-force-restoring key.
• Gu Yuan questioned Yan Jin about the resurrection method, then agreed to provide materials so Gu Lie and the Ancient Clan Three Immortals could regain their bodies.
• Gu Yuan told Yan Jin that Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame were injured but that he had failed to recover the ancient jade, and Yan Jin returned to the Yan Clan with Gu Lie and the others.

After arranging for Yun Yun to secure a route near the Shennong Mountain Range, Lin Feng learned that thirty-one of his concubines had reached Five-star Dou Sheng and took them to cultivate in the hot springs.

• Gu Yuan ordered the Ancient Clan experts to heal and asked Gu Xun'er to have Gu Wan refine a top-tier Ninth-grade Mysterious Pill for him.
• An Ancient Clan elder revealed that the Soul Clan had attacked the Ancient Realm, but the clan-protecting great array remained undamaged despite heavy casualties.
• Lin Feng received the Dou Di bloodlines, souls, and other spoils collected by his subordinates from raids on the Yan and Ancient Clans, then learned they could not reach the Xiao Clan members hidden in the Ancient Clan's core area.

• Lin Feng found that thirty-one of his concubines, including Hansu, had advanced to Five-star Dou Sheng and led them to the hot springs to cultivate.

Lin Feng reached Peak Eight-star Dou Sheng after a month of cultivating with his thirty-one concubines, but he discovered that their differing Dou Qi had left his energy unstable. He began purifying it and set out to meet Yan Jin and Fire Spirit, who had been waiting for his help reviving the Ancient Clan’s fighters.

• Xiao Yi Xian reached Early Eight-star Dou Sheng, while Cai Lin failed to break through and Yun Yun occupied the Shennong Mountain Range and the damaged Yao Realm.
• Hun Tiandi reflected on his defeat by Gu Yuan, recovered from his injuries, and began seeking a way to counter the Heaven Tomb.
• After a month of drawing on his concubines’ Dou Qi, Lin Feng reached Peak Eight-star Dou Sheng but noticed the absorbed energy was chaotic, so Xiao Ling used two Heavenly Flames to purify it.
• Lin Feng left the hot spring and headed to address the delayed revival of the Yan Clan’s allies as Yan Jin and Fire Spirit worried about pressure from the Ancient Clan.
• Fire Spirit received Lin Feng’s instructions to meet him with the requested materials at Tu Yan Mountain, and she and Yan Jin went there without bringing anyone else.
• Lin Feng emerged from the lava in a body he controlled and asked whether Yan Jin and Fire Spirit had brought the materials.

Lin Feng, posing as Han Yu, traded a Life Devouring Grass clamp to Yan Jin and Fire Spirit for resources and their help reviving four people. After reaching the Yan Realm, he arranged to revive them and left to refine pills in a secluded spot, where his main body began working with Xiao Ling.

• Fire Spirit introduced Yan Jin to Lin Feng, who used the name Han Yu, inspected their offerings, and agreed to travel with them to the Yan Realm to revive four people.
• Lin Feng showed Yan Jin and Fire Spirit a clamp from an Early Nine-star Dou Sheng Life Devouring Grass and traded it for additional resources and several Dou Sheng bodies.
• Lin Feng entered the Deathly Silence Gate, which attached itself to Fire Spirit, and traveled with Yan Jin and Fire Spirit to the Yan Realm.
• In the Yan Realm, Lin Feng had the four souls placed inside the gate, obtained the herbs and Magic Cores needed for pill refinement, and left to find a secluded place within Yan Clan territory.
• After confirming no one followed him, Lin Feng's main body joined Xiao Ling and began refining Ninth-grade Mysterious Pills.

Lin Feng refined four Ninth-grade Mysterious Pills, revived Gu Lie and four others in Yan Realm, and received the Eight-star Dou Sheng magic core and artifact-refining materials from Yan Jin. He gave Fire Spirit a modified pill to attempt an Eight-star Dou Sheng breakthrough, then headed to Lin Realm.

• Lin Feng refined a fourth Ninth-grade Mysterious Pill outside Yan Realm and captured it when it tried to escape.
• Lin Feng secretly revived Gu Lie and four others in Yan Realm, using Dou Di bloodline and Nihility Devouring Flame to grow their bodies.
• Yan Jin inspected the revived group, confirmed their auras were stable, and gave Lin Feng the promised Eight-star Dou Sheng magic core and artifact-refining materials.
• Lin Feng refined another Ninth-grade Mysterious Pill and gave it, along with a jade pendant, to Fire Spirit for her breakthrough attempt.
• Lin Feng left Fire Spirit and returned to his true body before flying toward Lin Realm.

• Lin Feng discovered that Xiao Yi Xian had reached eight-star Dou Sheng and Qing Lin had reached Emperor Soul Realm, while Cai Lin had failed to break through.
• Lin Feng reunited with Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Cai Lin, then gave Cai Lin magic cores and Qing Lin a Ninth-grade Mysterious Pill.

• Lin Feng entered seclusion and spent a month preparing materials to repair Pingnan Pass and forging the remaining five Life Devouring Grass clips into weapons.
• Gu Xun'er arrived and embraced Lin Feng, claiming she had come because their deal was unfinished; Lin Feng suspected she wanted to recruit him to the Ancient Clan, while both concealed their intentions as they kissed.

Lin Feng questioned Gu Xun'er about the Ancient Clan and claimed Xiao Yan had made a deal with him before the Soul Clan captured him. Gu Xun'er believed his account and offered a possible marriage if Lin Feng helped the Ancient Clan defeat the Soul Clan, while Lin Feng pressed her for information about the clan’s situation.

• Lin Feng questioned Gu Xun'er about the Ancient Clan’s battle with the Soul Clan, examined her for injuries, and gave her two Ninth-grade Treasure Pills.
• After Lin Feng mentioned Xiao Yan’s death, Gu Xun'er asked how he knew about it, and he claimed he had seen Xiao Yan fighting the Soul Clan before his capture.
• Lin Feng recounted Xiao Yan’s escape attempt, secret plans, and requests concerning the Xiao Family, then produced a portion of the Xiao Clan’s Dou Di bloodline.
• Gu Xun'er agreed to consider giving Lin Feng the Key of Darkness if he left Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan’s other relatives alone, and she reserved the decision about Xiao Yu for Xiao Yu herself.
• Gu Xun'er suggested she might marry Lin Feng if he helped destroy the Soul Clan, and Lin Feng eagerly declared himself the Ancient Clan’s son-in-law and asked about its situation.

Lin Feng negotiated with Gu Xun'er to acquire Ancient Clan territory, while Gu Xun'er used his desire for the land to bargain for three Ninth-grade Treasure Pills. They agreed on the deal, leaving Lin Feng with access to the region he needed to secure the Golden Core Grandmaster Ruins.

• Gu Xun'er told Lin Feng that the Soul Clan would likely need at least half a year to recover, and Lin Feng noted the time he had to prepare.
• Lin Feng asked Gu Xun'er to secure the Ancient Clan's southern territory for him, and she warned that the clan elders would resist ceding land.
• Lin Feng offered one Ninth-grade Treasure Pill, then raised his offer to two when Gu Xun'er said the elders would demand more.
• Gu Xun'er proposed that Lin Feng buy both sections of the territory and offered to settle the arrangement for three Ninth-grade Treasure Pills.
• Lin Feng accepted the deal, and Gu Xun'er celebrated having secured five Ninth-grade Treasure Pills from him in total.
