Qirui returned to the Kirin Clan's main residence with Qin Xi, Yu Xue, and Momo, hoping to find his parents but finding the home empty. He led them to the spot of the clan's Secret Realm, but since he did not know how to enter it, they began searching for clues.

• Qirui paused outside his home, hoping his parents would greet him, and Momo comforted him by reminding him that she was there for him.

• Qirui admitted he did not know how to enter the Secret Realm because his parents had withheld the method until he could take on the clan's responsibilities.
• Qin Xi suggested they search the area for clues left by Qirui's parents, and Momo went to prepare food for the group.

Qirui, Qin Xi, and Yu Xue searched the Kirin Clan Chief's Manor for clues to opening the Secret Realm but found nothing. Momo remembered a box Qirui's father had asked them to bury, and the chapter ended with Qirui handing Qin Xi a pouch-like object from it.

Qirui used the Kirin Clan Chief’s Heart-Protecting Scale to meet his father’s soul projection and learn how to enter the clan’s Secret Realm. He opened the entrance with the scale, leaving Qin Xi, Yu Xue, Momo, and himself ready to enter and search for their ancestor, the Hou.

• Qin Xi gave Qirui the Kirin Clan Chief’s Heart-Protecting Scale, and Qirui sensed his father’s projection within it.

Qirui easily obtained the Kirin Clan’s ancestral secret technique after defeating Hou’s avatar, which barely put up a fight. While Momo and Yu Xue waited anxiously for the Valley Master, Qin Xi remained trapped in the void and devised a new way to find Hou’s avatar.

• Hou’s avatar pounced on Qirui, licked his face, and fell after Qirui slashed at it without causing harm.
• Hou’s avatar vanished, leaving the ancestral secret technique for Qirui to collect before he returned to normal space.
• Qirui showed Momo and Yu Xue the secret technique and claimed his avatar had been relatively weak.
• Qirui noticed the Valley Master had not returned, and Yu Xue worried about his absence.
• Qin Xi, exhausted from fighting exotic beasts and still unable to find Hou’s avatar, gathered merit ingredients and entered a cave to try a new plan.

Qin Xi tried to bribe the Exotic Beasts for the location of the Kirin Clan ancestor Hou's incarnation, but killed one that attacked him. In a neighboring cave, he met a rabbit that said it had smelled something familiar on him.

• Qin Xi entered a cave and offered a fanged Exotic Beast Merit ingredients for information about Hou's incarnation.
• The Exotic Beast lunged for Qin Xi and the ingredients, so Qin Xi kicked it down and killed it.
• Qin Xi watched the Exotic Beast's corpse merge into the Void, then went to search a neighboring cave.
• A rabbit emerged and told Qin Xi that it had smelled something familiar on him.

Qin Xi met the Jade Rabbit Clan's ancestor, who revealed why Hou had imprisoned him and agreed to point Qin Xi toward the Qilin Clan's avatar. Qin Xi left with the ancestor's Xiantian Spiritual Treasure to give to Yu Xue, while Hou confronted the rabbit after he departed.

• The Jade Rabbit Clan's ancestor recognized his clan's scent on Qin Xi and explained that Hou had imprisoned him after he destroyed the Kirin Clan's Innate Spirit Root.

Qin Xi reached Hou in the Void Secret Realm and learned that the Kirin Clan ancestor had foreseen the clan’s destruction and Qin Xi’s role in stopping the enemy. Hou offered a path to help Qin Xi reach the highest realm, but Qin Xi said he had not found the Phoenix Clan’s Primordial Spirit Pill.

• Qin Xi found the cave where Hou waited and realized that Hou was not an incarnation but a wisp of remnant soul.
• Hou told Qin Xi he had foreseen the Kirin Clan’s extermination by the Demon Realm and had left his soul in the Void Secret Realm to meet him.
• Hou explained that he had been unable to defeat the enemy even when alive, but believed Qin Xi could do so by reaching the highest realm.
• Hou offered Qin Xi the Kirin Clan’s secret technique and Primordial Spirit Pill, saying Qin Xi could combine it with the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors’ pills to break through.
• Qin Xi told Hou he had previously visited the Phoenix Clan’s Secret Realm but had not found its ancestor’s Primordial Spirit Pill.

Qin Xi received Kirin Clan Ancestor Hou’s Primordial Spirit Pill and the Kirin Clan’s Fusion Law before leaving the Secret Realm with Yu Xue, Qirui, and Momo. After returning to the Kirin Clan clearing, he prepared the group to set out the next day.

• Kirin Clan Ancestor Hou entrusted Qin Xi with his Primordial Spirit Pill, the Fusion Law, and the care of the two Kirin Clan descendants before transforming into the pill.
• Qin Xi received the Primordial Spirit Pill and Fusion Law, then returned to the Secret Realm when the void vanished.
