• The Pill Tower Ancestor revealed that the Bodhi Heart had helped him break through to the middle stage of the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm seven days earlier.

The Pill Tower Ancestor sent Xiao Jin to take Xiao Yi Xian to a ruin that might hold an inheritance connected to her Woe Poison Body. Meanwhile, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan investigated the destruction of the Ten Thousand Beast Pavilion and wondered whether its attacker might target the Starfall Pavilion.

• The Pill Tower Ancestor assessed the Pill Tower's strength against the Soul Clan and told Xiao Jin to visit the ruin with Xiao Yi Xian while he contacted other factions about an alliance.

• Xiao Yan suggested asking Xiao Jin about the attack at the Pill Gathering, and Yao Chen agreed that they needed to determine whether the attacker had targeted the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan or the Four Pavilions.

Xiao Jin and Xiao Yi Xian remained trapped in a strange mountain range while searching for the Heavenly Poison Maiden’s ruins. After comforting Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Jin suspected the hidden Dou Emperor Ruins were keeping them there because they were close to meeting some condition.

• News spread across the continent that Xiao Jin had killed a Soul Hall Dou Sheng, and the Ancient Clan warned the Soul Hall against targeting him again.
• The Soul Hall went into hiding while secretly leading an alliance that planned to attack somewhere beyond the Central Plains Continent.
• Xiao Jin and Xiao Yi Xian spent half a month lost in a mountain range where they could not control space or find the ruins left by the Heavenly Poison Maiden.
• Xiao Jin reassured the frustrated Xiao Yi Xian by recalling their earlier days together in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
• Xiao Jin suggested that the Dou Emperor Ruins were trapping them because they were close to fulfilling a condition.

Xiao Jin realized that the Dou Emperor Ruins might be summoning Xiao Yi Xian rather than him, so they agreed to split up. After she left, a flood of deadly poison erupted through the mountain range, leaving Xiao Jin facing a threat that even Xiao Yi Xian might not withstand.

• Xiao Yi Xian suggested that the Dou Emperor's poison might be keeping Xiao Jin from entering the ruin, and Xiao Jin recalled that earlier ruins had summoned Cai Lin and Yun Yun instead of him.
• Xiao Jin concluded that he might be holding Xiao Yi Xian back and proposed that they separate the next morning to see if the ruin would summon her alone.
• Xiao Yi Xian worried they would lose contact, but she agreed to try splitting up after Xiao Jin said he expected the ruin to accept him if he were in danger.
• The next morning, Xiao Yi Xian left Xiao Jin alone in the mountain cave while he waited to see what would happen.
• After about three hours, the mountain shook and poisonous liquid flooded the lowlands, killing Magical Beasts and turning the vegetation black.
• Xiao Jin flew to safety and saw an Eighth-Rank Magical Beast's corpse drifting in the poison, making him fear that even Xiao Yi Xian might not survive it.

Xiao Jin entered the poisonous liquid to find Xiao Yi Xian and reach the Dou Emperor Ruins, relying on his Heavenly Flames and detoxification pills to resist the toxins. He reached the ruins but was attacked by a swarm of powerful poisonous insects.

• Xiao Jin realized Xiao Yi Xian could be overwhelmed by poison and decided to find her before the toxins incapacitated her.
• Xiao Jin used the Reincarnation Nirvana Flame, detoxification pills, the Nihility Devouring Flame, and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame to enter the poisonous liquid.
• Xiao Jin discovered that a spatial barrier kept him from reaching the surface, so he swam toward the ruins instead.
• Xiao Jin reached the ruins and sensed an attack too late to dodge, leaving his right leg numb from poison.
• Xiao Jin recovered some sensation in his leg and saw millions of poisonous insects, including some near the Peak Dou Zong level.

Xiao Jin lured the poisonous insects away from the stone door with rare poisonous herbs and entered the ruins. He found a bridge made of Myriad Poison Amber Crystal, whose touch showed him a vision of his loved ones lying dead.

• Xiao Jin realized the poisonous swarm was growing stronger as toxins from its dead insects tainted the venom, and he searched for a way to escape.
• Xiao Jin discovered Poison Saliva Fruit attracting Eighth-Grade poisonous insects and used it to draw much of the swarm away.
• Xiao Jin located more Ninth-Rank poisonous ingredients, lured away the remaining insects, and opened the stone door.
• Xiao Jin entered the ruins, found that he could not fly, and began crossing a bridge over a vast abyss.
• Xiao Jin touched the Myriad Poison Amber Crystal and saw a vision of corpses belonging to the people closest to him.

Xiao Jin faced a trial on the Myriad Poison Amber Crystal bridge that made him experience the deaths of everyone he loved and left him paralyzed by fear. As Xiao Yi Xian watched, unable to intervene, he regained his resolve and moved toward overcoming the illusion.

• Xiao Jin touched the bridge and saw his loved ones dead, while the illusion made him feel the terror and despair of losing them.
• Xiao Yi Xian recalled how the trial had forced her to relive the deaths and harm caused by her Woe Poison Body before the Dou Emperor Remnant Soul restored her spirit.
• Xiao Yi Xian begged the Dou Emperor Remnant Soul to release her, but the remnant soul insisted Xiao Jin had to face the trial to complete the defects in his soul and unseal his bloodline.
• Xiao Yi Xian refused to let Xiao Jin suffer for her sake, while the Dou Emperor Remnant Soul told her the trial was a path he had to take.
• Xiao Jin lowered his hands and regained his resolve, thinking that losing Xiao Yi Xian would be even more terrifying than the illusion.

Xiao Jin collapsed on the bridge after an illusion forced him to relive the suffering and deaths of those he cared about. The Bodhi Heart began the Hundred-Life Reincarnation, which could repair the flaws in his soul and prepare his bloodline to be unsealed.

• Xiao Jin endured visions of Xun Er and the Xiao Clan dying, along with the pain endured by Xun Er, Qing Lin, Cai Lin, and Yun Yun.
• Xiao Jin collapsed halfway across the bridge when the illusion overwhelmed his soul.
• The Bodhi Heart inside Xiao Jin pulsed with jade-green light and stabilized his weakening soul.
• The Dou Emperor Remnant Soul explained to Xiao Yi Xian that Xiao Jin had entered the Bodhi Ancient Tree's Hundred-Life Reincarnation.
• The Dou Emperor Remnant Soul said that completing the reincarnation could make Xiao Jin's soul flawless and allow his bloodline to be unsealed.

• Xiao Yi Xian worried to Su Min that Xiao Jin's weakening aura meant something was wrong, but Su Min said it showed his reincarnation was nearly complete.
• Xiao Jin woke after a month, and Xiao Yi Xian embraced him in relief while he comforted her.
• Su Min introduced herself as the Myriad Poison Heavenly Emperor and moved Xiao Jin and Xiao Yi Xian from the Myriad Poison Amber Crystal bridge to her palace.
• Xiao Jin examined his cultivation and discovered he had reached Nine-Star Peak Dou Zun and could advance without his former bottleneck.

Xiao Jin learned that the Hundred-Life Reincarnation had perfected his Emperor Realm Soul, making him powerful enough to overwhelm ordinary Peak Eight-Star Dou Shengs and eligible to unseal his bloodline. Su Min sent him to investigate his origins and claim two treasures from Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, while Xiao Yi Xian stayed to inherit Su Min's legacy under a three-year deadline.

• Xiao Jin discovered that the pressure and obstruction in his soul had vanished, and Su Min explained that his perfected soul had reached the Middle Emperor Realm.
• Su Min told Xiao Jin that his soul now met the conditions to unseal his bloodline, though she did not know how to perform the unsealing.
• Su Min urged Xiao Jin to return to the Jia Ma Empire to investigate where he had awakened and revealed that he could now retrieve two treasures entrusted to Tou She Ancient God by his mother.
• Su Min explained that Xiao Yi Xian had to absorb the Poison Source Spirit Pool and Myriad Poison Source Crystal to inherit her techniques and Dou Skills.
• Su Min set a three-year limit for Xiao Yi Xian to initially master the inheritance before she could leave with Xiao Jin.

• Yao Chen and the Pill Tower Ancestor allied their factions and connected them with a Space Wormhole.
• The Pill Tower Ancestor asked Xiao Yan about his alchemy rank and gave him an Eighth-Grade Intermediate Alchemist badge, asking him to keep the championship from Soul Hall.

• Xiao Jin found Zi Yan and Qing Lin talking, then agreed to delay their return to Ancient Dragon Island until after the Pill Gathering.
• A spatial rift appeared while Xiao Jin was teaching Xiao Yan, and Xiao Jin, Xiao Yan, Old Monster Lin, and two Little Pill Tower elders traveled to the Jia Ma Empire after learning it was in danger.
• Ya Fei ordered the evacuation of ordinary citizens, prepared a Space Wormhole, and alerted the Xiao Clan and the Jia Ma Empire's allies.
• Ya Fei and Hai Bodong assessed the enemy army surrounding the Imperial Capital, which included dozens of Dou Zuns and tens of thousands of other fighters.

Reinforcements from the Heavenly Snake Mansion and the Xiao Clan arrived, leaving the empire with more than twenty Dou Zuns to face the invading army.
