As the group hurried toward the third level, a Heavenly Tomb Energy Storm caught up with them, and Xiao Jin prepared to shield everyone.

• Xun Er used an energy body to confirm that Hun Feng could hide his aura by blending in with the Heavenly Tomb’s energy bodies.
• Xiao Jin and Xun Er reasoned that the Soul Clan had planned its movements for centuries and that Hun Feng’s actions might be concealing a second member’s more important mission.

• Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi tried to burn through the curtain but made little progress before their Heavenly Flames retreated from Xiao Jin's flame.
• Xiao Jin unleashed his Heavenly Flame and rapidly dissolved the light curtain.

Xiao Jin led the group through a wall filled with Ancient Devouring Insects and into the Heavenly Tomb’s third level, where the Soul Clan’s methods no longer worked.

• Xiao Jin revealed that both his parents were Dou Emperors, leaving Xiao Xuan bewildered.

Xiao Jin explained that resurrecting Xiao Xuan would require an Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and several rare materials, and that Xiao Xuan's strength would be fixed after resurrection. Xiao Xuan agreed to return and protect the Xiao Clan, but the Xiao Clan Bloodline needed for his resurrection might also be necessary for Xiao Yan to awaken his own bloodline.

• Xiao Jin told Xiao Xuan that the Emperor Grade Pill could restore him, but warned that resurrection would permanently limit his strength.

Xiao Xuan realized the bloodline could become a shackle for Xiao Yan, but the chapter ended before they reached a decision.

• Xiao Jin and Xun Er waited while Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan argued over resurrection and the Xiao Tribe Bloodline.
• Xiao Jin told Xun Er that either outcome was acceptable and planned to seek the Dou Emperor Inheritance with everyone the next day.
