• Yao Lao offered to accompany Yun Zimo, but Yun Zimo worried that leaving Feng Xian and Yao Lao away from Starfall Pavilion would expose it to the Soul Hall, so they decided to consult Zi Yan and the others first.

Yun Zimo realized the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit could persuade the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to help with the hidden Dou Sheng ruin, so Zi Yan contacted her family. The clan’s elders arrived at Starfall Pavilion, where Yun Zimo recognized the white-robed elder as a direct subordinate of the old Dragon Emperor.

• Yun Zimo told Zhu Li he was eighty percent confident he could enter the ruin, and Zhu Li agreed to accompany him.
• Yun Zimo, Xiao Yi Xian, Qingluan, and others traveled in disguise to the Beast Skeleton Mountain Range and split up to search for spatial traces.

• Zi Yan used Xiao Yi Xian's Spiritual Strength to locate a hidden space that she could not tear open, then called the others to join her.
• Zhu Li discovered that the ruin was hidden inside a spatial interlayer and opened a temporary passage, leading the group inside.
• After the passage vanished, a wisp of black qi appeared over the Bone Sea and a voice wondered where the group had gone.

Zhu Li led the group into Ancient Saint Zaohua’s ruins, bypassing its defenses and guiding Yun Zimo to claim ten ancient puppets. They reached the buildings beyond the square, ready to explore the relic’s deeper treasures.

• Zhu Li scattered a flame guarding the palace entrance and led the group inside.
• Zhu Li exposed a hidden bluestone passage beneath the magma, allowing everyone to bypass the winding fire-path maze.
• The group found ten ownerless puppets standing before an ancient stone gate.
• Yun Zimo used his soul power to imprint and control all ten puppets, gaining their puppet arts and combined-attack formation.
• Zhu Li led the group onward toward the deeper ruins.

Yun Zimo, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Zhu Li explored a vast medicinal forest hidden within the Dou Sheng ruins and gathered its rare herbs. As they ventured deeper, Zhu Li and Zi Yan sensed the aura of an Ancient Void Dragon.

• Zhu Li led the group through the opened stone gate, and Zi Yan asked Yun Zimo and Xiao Yi Xian to help investigate a place rich in medicinal ingredients.
• The group entered a seemingly endless medicinal forest, where Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Zimo began collecting and storing valuable herbs while Zi Yan ate some and gathered magical beasts as pets.
• Yun Zimo and Xiao Yi Xian spent two hours selecting the most useful herbs, including Soul Infant Fruits and Heaven Origin Grass, because the forest held too many to take everything.
• Zi Yan’s dragon aura subdued a Heaven-Reaching Flood Dragon, which joined her pets and helped search for herbs and other magical beasts.
• As Yun Zimo declared their gathering nearly finished, Zi Yan stared ahead with an unfocused expression, and Zhu Li trembled after sensing an Ancient Void Dragon’s aura.

Zi Yan and Zhu Li discovered a hidden small world containing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, formed where an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heaven Phoenix had fallen. Zi Yan absorbed the fruit and chose to return the Ancient Void Dragon’s corpse to the Dragon Tomb before the group left.

• Zi Yan sensed a calling from the Medicine Forest’s central area, and the Heaven-Reaching Flood Dragon led her, Zhu Li, Yun Zimo, and Xiao Yi Xian there.
• Zhu Li uncovered a spatial barrier fused with a Beast Spirit Shield and opened its passage using his blood.
• The group entered a crimson desert world and found an altar bearing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit and the remains of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heaven Phoenix.

• Zhu Li collected the Ancient Void Dragon’s corpse, while Yun Zimo took the Ancient Heaven Phoenix and purple-gold tree and copied the altar’s patterns.

Yun Zimo and the others reached the ruins’ Main Hall and found the Dou Sheng skeleton guarded by a complex formation. Yun Zimo uncovered the formation’s deadly traps and realized that claiming the hall’s treasures would force them to confront the skeleton.

• Qinghua arrived with a map of the ruins, and the group marked the places they had searched after collecting most of the resources.
• Yun Zimo led everyone through the maze-like passages to the Main Hall, where they found ten floating light clusters, eighteen figures on pillars, and a skeleton seated on a white-bone throne.
• Yun Zimo warned that blood might revive the skeleton, while Zhu Li cautioned that the Dou Sheng could use hidden spatial tricks.
• Yun Zimo discovered that the figures were human puppets made from former Dou Zun experts, and that disturbing the light clusters or puppets would activate the formation.
• Yun Zimo concluded that every route to the treasures risked triggering the formation and forcing them to fight the Dou Sheng skeleton.

Yun Zimo devised a plan to disable the puppets and weaken Ancient Saint Zaohua's skeleton without triggering the great array. The plan seemed to work at first, but the skeleton absorbed the puppets' energy, forcing the group into battle.

• Yun Zimo used an illusion to explain the great array and rejected plans that risked activating it or restoring the skeleton.
• Xiao Yi Xian suggested removing four Human Puppets and destroying the vitality and remnant souls inside them while the others stalled the rest.
• Yun Zimo and the group agreed that the remaining puppets would eventually fail, leaving the skeleton weakened enough to defeat by avoiding close combat.

• Ancient Saint Zaohua praised the Pill Tower, then declared that the group would have to fight him for the treasures before his remnant faded away.
• The ten clusters of light emerged without their power of creation, and Yun Zimo urged everyone to scatter the skeleton’s remaining vitality as it attacked.

Yun Zimo and the others battled the Dou Sheng Skeleton in Ancient Saint Zaohua’s palace until it unleashed the devastating Great Heaven Creation Palm. They recovered the skeleton and left the palace, only to be confronted by a sinister black fog above the Bone Basin.

• Elder Zhu Li sealed the space around the hall, allowing the group to fight the skeleton without it escaping through spatial rifts.
• The skeleton awakened eerie ghost fire, used an Ancient Void Dragon Roar, and chased Qing Mu before the group attacked it with full force.
• Yun Zimo sensed danger and drove everyone back as the skeleton unleashed the Great Heaven Creation Palm, annihilating nearly a third of the hall.
• Zhu Li found only Di-class Dou Skills among the ten light clusters and discovered no hidden treasure in the skeleton, so Yun Zimo stored it away.
• Yun Zimo and the others left the Crimson Palace and emerged above the Bone Basin, where a sinister voice accused them of taking the remains first as black fog surged in.

Yun Zimo and the Ancient Void Dragons escaped a Soul Hall ambush and returned to Starfall Pavilion, where they examined Zi Yan and the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. As they struggled to find a safe way for her to absorb it, a Heaven-class cultivation method appeared above the Star Tower.

• The Soul Hall ambushed Yun Zimo’s group at the Zaohua Ruins, but Hei Qing and the Ancient Void Dragons defeated their forces and pursued Mo Yu and Qiu Di until Qing Qi intervened.

• Thunder and a heavenly phenomenon appeared above the Star Tower, and Zhu Li recognized that a Heaven-class cultivation method had emerged.

After Xiao Yan evolved the Burning Mantra into a Tian-rank Qi Method and advanced to Dou Zun, he revealed that the Tou She Ancient God Jade had reacted to something beneath the magma at Jia Nan Academy.

Yun Zimo traveled with Xiao Yan, Xuan Yi, Zi Yan, and Elder Zhu Li toward Jia Nan Academy, stopping in the Black-Corner Region on urgent business. He learned that Ren Xia had carried on his work through the Xia Lan and sent him a message of praise before leaving for the academy.

• Zi Yan insisted on joining the journey to visit Jia Nan Academy, and Elder Zhu Li agreed to accompany her despite his concerns.
• Yun Zimo and the others used a Spatial Wormhole to reach Tianqing City, where their appearance caused rumors of a Dou Zun to spread across the Northwest Continent.
• At the Black-Corner Region gateway, Yun Zimo presented his old Xia Lan token to the guards, who summoned Ju Yuan and other Xia Lan members.
• Ju Yuan welcomed Yun Zimo and returned his personal insignia, explaining that Ren Xia had made it a symbol of the commander-in-chief.
• Yun Zimo declined to summon Ren Xia and told Ju Yuan to let him know that he was glad the Xia Lan had Ren Xia.

Yun Zimo, Xiao Yan, and their companions returned to the Black-Corner Region and learned how Jia Nan Academy and the region had changed over the years. At the academy, Yun Zimo reunited with Ren Xia and urged him to keep building their strength while they decided their next steps later.

• Yun Zimo told Elder Nijia that Xiao Yan had returned to deal with problems remaining beneath the magma, and Nijia recognized Zi Yan and welcomed her family.
• Elder Nijia explained that the Black-Corner Region had grown more stable and prosperous after Demon Flame Valley's destruction, aided by Jia Nan Academy and Gu He's exchanges and research.
• Yun Zimo and his companions returned to Jia Nan Academy, where Ren Xia had been waiting at the gates to greet them.
• Ren Xia credited Yun Zimo's leadership and reputation for their progress, but Yun Zimo told him to keep building things up and leave future plans for later.

Yun Zimo, Xiao Yan, Xuan Yi, and Zi Yan descended into the Magma Sea, where they awakened Yao Tianhuo and learned of the danger lurking below. The group encountered a high-level Lava Lizard guarding a place it called God's Graveyard, and Zi Yan began to suspect the truth behind the guardian.

• Zi Yan joined Yun Zimo, Xiao Yan, and Xuan Yi in the Magma Sea, and Xiao Yan led them deeper toward the Tou She Ancient God Jade's destination.

• A high-level Lava Lizard confronted the group, declared that they had trespassed into God's Graveyard, and threatened to kill them all.
• Zi Yan wondered whether the guardian was connected to the truth she had long yearned to uncover.

Zi Yan and her companions discovered that the Lava Lizard Clan’s Half-Saint revered her as the descendant of its Guardian, whom Zhu Li identified as the Old Dragon Emperor. Zi Yan entered the hidden space where her father had been sleeping, confronted him for abandoning her, and finally broke down in his arms as he apologized.

• Xuan Yi and Yao Lao ordered a retreat, but the Lava Lizard Clan’s Half-Saint blocked their escape and stopped Yun Zimo’s message to Zhu Li.
• Zi Yan revealed her Ancient Void Dragon bloodline, causing the lizardmen to kneel and their Half-Saint to beg her forgiveness.
• The Half-Saint explained that the clan’s Guardian had warned them never to harm him or his bloodline, and Zhu Li realized the Old Dragon Emperor was nearby.
• Zi Yan told Yun Zimo she was unsure how to face her father, but decided to meet him and ask why he had abandoned her and her mother.
• Zi Yan and the others entered a hidden space and found the Old Dragon Emperor, who recognized her and tried to explain himself.
• Zi Yan accused the Old Dragon Emperor of leaving her alone, then cried and beat at him before he embraced her and said Tou She Ancient God had tricked him.

Zhu Kun revealed the cave’s history and how he had been trapped for thousands of years, then explained that he sent Zi Yan away as an egg and feared her slow growth would delay their reunion.

• Zhu Kun explained that Zi Yan’s slow growth might keep her from becoming a Dou Sheng for at least a thousand years.

Zhu Kun explained that Tou She Ancient God had become the number one heavenly flame by devouring other flames, then helped Xiao Yan prepare a Dou Sheng skeleton for the Resurrection Technique. He entrusted Zi Yan’s safety and other matters to Xiao Yan and Yun Zimo as the skeleton neared completion.

• Zhu Kun revealed that Tou She Ancient God was the heavenly flame that survived after devouring the others, and Xiao Yan realized his fused flames were central to the Resurrection Technique.
• Xiao Yan promised to protect Zi Yan, and Zhu Kun agreed to refine the Dou Sheng skeleton and provide his blood as a catalyst.
• Zhu Kun refined Xiao Yan’s dragon seal to conceal the Heavenly Demon Phoenix aura, then used Xiao Yan’s five fused heavenly flames and his own blood to prepare the skeleton.
• Zhu Kun asked Yun Zimo about the sealed corpse and its Great Heaven Creation Palm, then gave him a body-refining art and a token for studying Ancient Void Dragon techniques on Dragon Island.
• Zhu Kun completed the skeleton’s preparation, withdrew his sacred might, and left the next step to Yao Lao and Xiao Yan.

Zhu Kun promised Zi Yan he would stay by her side and learned from Zhu Li how the Ancient Void Dragon Clan had been divided and devastated after his disappearance. As Xiao Yan began forging a Dou Sheng body for Yao Lao, Zhu Kun recognized the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit Zi Yan had obtained, and Yao Lao’s soul imprint took hold in the purple-gold bones.

• Zhu Kun promised Zi Yan he would remain by her side, and Zi Yan’s coldness toward him eased.
• Xiao Yan used Yao Lao’s soul as a medium to imprint it on the Dou Sheng skeleton while Zhu Kun asked Zhu Li about the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

• Zhu Li explained that Zhu Huo was East Dragon Island’s First Elder and its only top expert, and Zhu Kun learned Zi Yan had obtained the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit.
• Zhu Kun identified the fruit as one cultivated by Dan Tian in Ancient Saint Zaohua’s ruins, while Heavenly Flames turned the bones purple-gold and Yao Lao successfully planted his soul imprint in them.

Xiao Yan completed the resurrection ritual, and Yao Lao returned to life as a young Dou Sheng. Yun Zimo emerged from seclusion after absorbing Dou Sheng essence, while Zi Yan revealed her Dragon-Phoenix Origin Body and shared its power with him.

• Yun Zimo reunited with Yun Qingfeng and was surprised to learn that his companion was a Dou Sheng.

Yun Zimo visited the Dark Night Forest and reunited with Yun Qingfeng, but they could not locate the missing Yun Yue despite sensing his aura across the continent. Yun Zimo returned to the Central Plains to prepare to deal with Soul Hall, while Qingfeng watched him leave with an unexplained parting remark.

• Li Meng welcomed Yun Zimo to the Dark Night Forest, where Yun Qingfeng explained the Elf Clan’s customs and showed him his secluded hut.
• Yun Qingfeng told Yun Zimo that he had no news of Yun Yue, and Yun Zimo admitted he had been unable to find him in the Central Plains.
• Yun Qingfeng revealed that he had awakened a Sword Heart, and he and Yun Zimo used it with the Origin Sword to search the continent for Yun Yue.
• The search found Yun Yue’s aura seemingly everywhere but no trace of him, so Yun Zimo and Yun Qingfeng decided not to tell Ji Xiaoman yet.
• Yun Qingfeng passed the Elf Clan’s inherited arts and spells to Yun Zimo, who left for the Central Plains to find Xiao Ming and prepare to confront Soul Hall.
• After Yun Zimo departed, Yun Qingfeng watched the sky and said that something belonged to his brother.
