• Chen Fan killed a Hell Sect disciple with one sword, then faced Asura Child and the others as they used the Underworld Fire Sacrifice Art.
• Five Hell Sect disciples surrounded Chen Fan and Chen Jingjing, but Chen Fan's apparent disappearance was an illusion; he reappeared and killed four attackers with his sword and black-and-white flames.

• Bald Bird and Dugu Han arrived with the six dead Hell Sect elders tied to a golden rope, and Asura Child recognized Dugu Han.
• Dugu Han told Asura Child it was time to die, but Asura Child begged for his life and offered to reveal the identity of an ancient supreme treasure.

Chen Fan and Dugu Han learned that the Hell Sect’s map pointed to the Eye of the True Dragon, a flame-wreathed gemstone said to be the mother stone of Samadhi True Fire. They let Asura Child leave after he shared what he knew, but a black-clad woman attacked him as he fled.

• Asura Child revealed that the Hell Sect had found an ancient map carved on a true dragon bone, which Bald Bird recognized as the bone stolen from his Bi Fang Treasury.
• Asura Child identified the treasure as the Eye of the True Dragon, a gemstone bestowed on the War Clan’s ancestor and said to generate Samadhi True Fire.
• Chen Fan realized the stone might be connected to the Samadhi True Fire phantom within his body and could perhaps be sensed through it.
• Chen Fan and Dugu Han agreed to spare Asura Child, and he flew into the clouds while Bald Bird mingled with the Shu Mountain elders.
• A black-clad woman formed a massive stone stele and struck at Asura Child as he tried to escape.

• Qin Xian'er struck Asura Child with a stone stele condensed from the killing array’s power, pulverizing him into blood mist.

• Dugu Han urged the group to return and search for the Dragon Eye Stone another day, but Chen Fan said he might know where the mother stone was.
• Chen Fan circulated the Burning Fire Chapter and released Samadhi True Fire, startling Dugu Han and Bald Bird.

Chen Fan used the Samadhi True Fire phantom to sense the Dragon Eye Stone in Demon King Valley and traveled there with Dugu Han to find it. As the flame grew harder to suppress, they reached a mountain summit and recognized the waiting figure as Yang Xiao.

• Chen Fan sensed that the Samadhi True Fire Mother Stone was hidden in Demon King Valley, and Dugu Han agreed to help him search for it.
• Chen Fan left Qin Xian'er and the others in the Underground Palace and traveled to Demon King Valley with Dugu Han.
• Chen Jingjing, Zhang Rumeng, Big and Little Bai, and Qin Xian'er stayed behind with Little Golden Monkey while Chen Fan and Dugu Han set out into the valley.
• Chen Fan followed the flame's pull toward the Mother Stone, stopping repeatedly to suppress the increasingly violent phantom as Dugu Han guarded him.
• After nearly three days of travel, Chen Fan and Dugu Han saw Yang Xiao standing atop a mountain.

Chen Fan and Dugu Han encountered Yang Xiao on a mountain that was a fragment of an ancient battlefield and learned that it could not be reached by ordinary means. As Yang Xiao searched for his token, Chen Fan realized the Dragon Eye Stone might be only one of many treasures lost there.

• Chen Fan and Dugu Han saw Yang Xiao on the mountain, and Yang Xiao asked Chen Fan whether he knew where the Fat Daoist was.
• Yang Xiao said he had come to trace the Fat Daoist’s path and had last found him there several thousand years earlier.
• Chen Fan asked Yang Xiao to help him reach the mountain for a gemstone, but Yang Xiao explained that it was a fragment of a battlefield from the ancient war and did not belong to this world.

• Yang Xiao told Chen Fan and Dugu Han to leave, explaining that the mountain would vanish without him there.
• Chen Fan realized the Dragon Eye Stone might have fallen onto the battlefield fragment and wondered whether it was filled with weapons and artifacts from the ancient war.

Chen Fan waited beneath the mountain while Yang Xiao searched for treasures, hoping to obtain a Dragon Eye Stone. Yang Xiao revealed that Chen Fan’s Heavenly Eye art was a fragment of the Yang Clan’s secret technique, leaving Chen Fan to connect the clan to a figure from myth.

• Chen Fan asked Yang Xiao to find him a Dragon Eye Stone, but Yang Xiao ignored him and searched the mountain for three days and nights.

• Chen Fan wondered whether Yang Xiao’s clan was connected to a mighty figure from myth and asked for its ancestor’s name.

Yang Xiao escaped through a rift toward the world beyond the Gods and Devils Wall, leaving Chen Fan the Samadhi True Fire Mother Stone, which let Chen Fan wield genuine Samadhi True Fire and begin refining it. After returning to the Underground Palace, Chen Fan learned that Shen Wushuang and Little Medicine Boy were still missing, then sensed something was wrong and rushed toward the exit.

• Yang Xiao found a black token, opened a rift with his three-pointed, double-edged saber, and left for the world beyond the Gods and Devils Wall after giving Chen Fan the Samadhi True Fire Mother Stone.
• Chen Fan used the Mother Stone to unleash genuine Samadhi True Fire, and Bald Bird warned him to keep it separate from the immortal sword sheath.
• Chen Fan cautiously refined a thread of true fire with the Burning Fire Chapter, tempering his body and loosening the cultivation art's limits.
• Chen Fan and Bald Bird returned to the Underground Palace, where Bald Bird told the others about Yang Xiao's escape and Dugu Han said they should inform their Master.
• Chen Jingjing asked Chen Fan to find Shen Wushuang and Little Medicine Boy, and Chen Fan sensed something was wrong and rushed toward the Underground Palace's exit.

Shen Wushuang and Little Medicine Boy fled from Hell Sect assassins, but Little Medicine Boy was overpowered when he turned to fight them. As the assassins threatened them and mocked Chen Fan, Chen Fan appeared on the sea and announced his arrival.

• Shen Wushuang and Little Medicine Boy raced across the sea while Hell Sect disciples pursued them.
• Shen Wushuang urged Little Medicine Boy to escape, but he turned back to hold off the Nascent Soul Realm assassins.

• Chen Fan arrived on the sea, sending up a huge spray as his sword shot toward the Hell Sect disciples.
