Hai Bodong broke through to Dou Zong, and Su Yun’s group set out for the Heavenly Serpent Empire. On the journey, Bai Ya lusted after Medusa and provoked Hai Bodong, while Lv Man and Bai Ya’s search for the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils remained underway.

• Hai Bodong revealed his new Dou Zong strength, and Su Yun assembled the group to depart for the Heavenly Serpent Empire.

• Hai Bodong blasted Lv Man and Bai Ya away with his Dou Zong aura, making them realize they had provoked a much stronger group.

Su Yun ordered Hai Bodong and Wu Tianlang to defeat the Heavenly Serpent Mansion elders Lv Man and Bai Ya after Bai Ya provoked their group. Lv Man died, while Qing Lin took the captured Bai Ya under her control as a substitute source of cultivation, and the group continued toward the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

• Su Yun scattered the group's aura to prevent the Heavenly Serpent Mansion from tracking them, and they continued toward the mansion.

Su Yun and his companions searched the Heavenly Serpent Empire’s Magical Beast Mountain Range for a Heavenly Flame, using Medusa and the Blazing Sun Crystal Ball to track it. After a month of searching and a dangerous encounter with the Spirit Devouring Tiger, they regrouped at their temporary cave base, while Su Yun suspected the Heavenly Flame might be moving.

• The group rested after traveling for a month and a half, then followed Hai Bodong’s maps to the Heavenly Flame’s approximate location.
• Su Yun had Qing Lin control Medusa and make her activate the Blazing Sun Crystal Ball, which detected another Heavenly Flame and led the group onward.
• The group searched for a month as the crystal ball’s signal flickered unpredictably, suggesting the Heavenly Flame might be moving.
• Hai Bodong and Wu Tianlang held off the Spirit Devouring Tiger while Su Yun led the others to escape.
• Su Yun and the others regrouped at their cave base, where Su Yun waited for Hai Bodong and Wu Tianlang to return so he could discuss his suspicions.

Su Yun and the others confirmed that the Heavenly Flame they were seeking was likely the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which could move between Magical Beasts. After Xiao Yi Xian broke through to Dou Emperor, Su Yun hurried to take her away before the Magical Beasts converged on the cave.

• Hai Bodong and Wu Tianlang returned from a battle with a Fifth-Tier Spirit Devouring Tiger, and Su Yun examined its corpse with the Green Lotus Core Flame and his Soul Power.
• Su Yun found Heavenly Flame aura in the tiger and concluded that the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame could transfer between Magical Beasts.
• Su Yun gave the group medicinal pills to recover, while Xiao Yi Xian continued cultivating inside the cave.
• After three days, Xiao Yi Xian's breakthrough reached Dou Emperor, and Hai Bodong warned that the disturbance could attract Magical Beasts.
• Xiao Yi Xian awakened, and Su Yun urged her to leave the cave with him.

Su Yun and his companions fled into the Magical Beast Mountain Range but were surrounded by powerful magical beasts and had to fight their way through. As the battle revealed unusual cooperation among their foes, a Dou Emperor woman recognized Wu Tianlang and rushed toward the battlefield.

• Su Yun gave Windwalk Pills to the group, then assigned everyone targets as more than a dozen Fifth-Tier, three Sixth-Tier, and one Seventh-Tier Magical Beasts surrounded them.
• Hai Bodong and Wu Tianlang attacked the Seventh-Tier Star Demon Bear, Xiao Yi Xian faced the Fifth-Tier beasts, and Su Yun fought the Electric Sky Ape and Snow-Eyed Bird while Qing Lin controlled Medusa and Zi Yan protected her.
• A Dou Emperor woman saw Wu Tianlang fighting the Star Demon Bear, recognized her senior brother, and hurried toward the battlefield.
• Su Yun found that the Electric Sky Ape and Snow-Eyed Bird coordinated their attacks unusually well, repeatedly thwarting his attempts to separate them.
• Xiao Yi Xian struck the Fifth-Tier beasts with her Ghost Poison Seal, but they joined their Dou Qi to form a fiery phantom that blocked it, and her poison left them with much of their strength intact.

Su Yun and his companions fought through the Magical Beasts, killing two Sixth-Tier beasts and joining forces to defeat another. A woman who knew Wu Tianlang arrived, and the group prepared a coordinated attack against the Seventh-Tier Star Demon Bear.

• Xiao Yi Xian used the Poisonous Body of Misfortune to clear the Fifth-Tier Magical Beasts while Su Yun used Flowing Flame Dragon Slash and Setting Sun to kill the Snow-Eyed Bird and the Snow Sky Ape.
• Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian joined Medusa's battle, and Qing Lin controlled Medusa as the group combined their attacks to kill a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast.

• Wu Tianlang and Hai Bodong blasted the Star Demon Bear back and regrouped with Su Yun's party.
• Wu Tianlang asked everyone to unleash their strongest attacks, saying that he and his junior sister could help heavily injure the Star Demon Bear.

Su Yun and the others combined their strongest attacks to wound the Star Demon Bear and escape, but a pack of magical beasts continued pursuing them. As the exhausted group faced being overtaken, Qing Lin offered to make the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor self-destruct to slow their pursuers.

• Su Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Zi Yan, Hai Bodong, Wu Tianlang, and the woman combined their attacks, with Wu Tianlang and the woman unleashing Mysterious Clear Sword Slash, then fled as the Star Demon Bear took a severe wound.
• A group of Fifth-Tier and Sixth-Tier Magical Beasts pursued the fleeing party, including the rival Field Fire Rat and Ice Azure Eagle, who targeted them without fighting each other.
• Hai Bodong offered to stay behind and cover the group's retreat, but Su Yun refused to abandon anyone.
• Qing Lin proposed making the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor self-destruct to delay the pursuers, and Su Yun told her to proceed.

After Qing Lin helped Su Yun’s group escape a coordinated magical-beast attack, they recovered in a Heavenly Serpent Empire city and began investigating why the beasts had targeted them. Their suspicions pointed toward an unusual force that had gathered the beasts and countered Xiao Yi Xian’s poison.

• Qing Lin used her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to make Bai Ya detonate his magical core, letting Su Yun’s group escape the magical-beast encirclement.
• A Fifth-Tier Magical Beast watched their flight, with red firelight flickering in its eyes.
• Su Yun’s group rented a house in a small city and recovered; Su Yun identified the mysterious woman as Su Xuehui.
• Xiao Yi Xian reassured Su Yun that he did not need to blame himself, and the group thanked Qing Lin for helping them escape.
• Su Yun warned everyone to keep a low profile in the Heavenly Serpent Empire in case Heavenly Serpent Mansion was involved.
• Wu Tianlang and Xiao Yi Xian described how the beasts had surrounded them quickly, resisted poison, and countered Xiao Yi Xian’s poison seal with a flame.

Su Yun and the others concluded that the strange attacks in the Magical Beast Mountain Range were linked to the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and learned of a rumor about Beast Spirit Venerable. After the group paused for a meal, Hai Bodong worked on an unexplained clue.

• Xiao Yi Xian revealed that she had the Poisonous Body of Misfortune, and Su Yun explained that he had helped her control it.
• Su Xuehui told Su Yun that she had heard a rumor that Beast Spirit Venerable died in meditation on a cliff in the Magical Beast Mountain Range a thousand years earlier.
• Su Yun concluded that the Heavenly Flame they were seeking was the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and suggested its ability had caused the flickering Blazing Sun Crystal Ball and the magical beast attack.
• Zi Yan and Qing Lin asked for food, so Xiao Yi Xian, Su Xuehui, and Qing Lin prepared a meal while Hai Bodong worked privately with paper and brush.
• Zi Yan grabbed and ate the braised lion's head, while Qing Lin got her own share of the meal.

Hai Bodong used his map markings to deduce that the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame was drawn to Falling Stone Cliff, where the Beast Spirit Venerable had died. Su Yun postponed the expedition until the others recovered, and the chapter ended with him and Xiao Yi Xian waking and resting together.

• Wu Tianlang, Su Xuehui, and Zi Yan told Su Yun that their secret techniques would take one to two months to recover from.
• Hai Bodong showed the group his map, where his markings revealed that the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame had repeatedly appeared near Falling Stone Cliff.
• Su Xuehui suggested that the cliff was where the Beast Spirit Venerable had died, and Hai Bodong confirmed his deduction.
• Su Yun told the group to rest and wait two months before returning to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
• Xiao Yi Xian massaged Su Yun until he fell asleep, then stayed beside him through the night.
• Su Yun woke before Xiao Yi Xian, cared for her while she slept, and invited her to get up and eat after she awoke.

After the Heavenly Serpent Mansion issued a wanted notice for the deaths of Lv Man and Bai Ya, Su Yun tried to protect his group and keep Qing Lin hidden. When the Mansion began investigating the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Su Yun disguised himself and headed to its city branch to put a plan into action.

• The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master ordered a wanted notice offering rewards for information about Lv Man and Bai Ya’s deaths.
• Su Yun reassured Xiao Yi Xian and Hai Bodong that Bai Ya was unlikely to be recognized, then told everyone to stay quiet and warned Xiao Yi Xian to keep Qing Lin indoors.
• A month later, Su Yun broke through from Seven-star Dou King to Eight-star Dou King and resolved to obtain the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
• Xiao Yi Xian reported that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had sent people to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, prompting Su Yun to disguise himself and travel to its branch mansion.
• Su Yun recalled the Heaven Tier Low Grade Dou Technique Deceive Heaven Conceal World and prepared to learn it, despite its usual bloodline requirement.

Su Yun fed the Heavenly Serpent Mansion misleading reports about Bai Ya to steer its search toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Returning there under concealment, he concluded that the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame had detected their location when he extracted the Heavenly Flame aura from the Spirit Devouring Tiger.

• Su Yun used the system’s Fusion Function to master an inherited Dou Technique, despite suspecting that its cultivation restriction was not bloodline-related.
• Su Yun gave a Heavenly Serpent Mansion branch official a fabricated account of Bai Ya’s fate and submitted a false name to claim the reward.
• Su Yun continued spreading reports that mixed truth with lies across other cities.
• Ten days later, the Mansion Master reviewed conflicting reports and sent more people to search the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
• Su Yun returned to the range using Deceive Heaven Conceal World and reasoned that their position had been exposed the night he forced the Heavenly Flame aura out of the Spirit Devouring Tiger.

Su Yun planted a fabricated message using Bai Ya’s secret art, convincing Heavenly Serpent Mansion that Zhang Ritian had stolen the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. The mansion master learned of the theft and responded with furious killing intent, while Su Yun’s group prepared to seize the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and leave the empire.

• Su Yun simulated Bai Ya’s aura and planted a concealed stream of Dou Qi carrying a false message in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
• A Dou Wang deacon found the message, and a Dou Zong elder learned that Zhang Ritian had supposedly taken the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and killed Lv Man.
• The elder rewarded the deacon and returned to Heavenly Serpent Mansion with the information.
• Su Yun returned to the courtyard, reunited with Xiao Yi Xian, and told the group to recover before they captured the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and left the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
• The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master heard the news and unleashed a terrifying aura, declaring her anger at the theft.

Su Yun diverted the Heavenly Serpent Mansion with false news, then prepared his group to hunt the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame after explaining how it could mark beasts and transfer between them. The group entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where Su Yun had Queen Medusa search alone in an area indicated by the Blazing Sun Crystal Ball.

• The Heavenly Serpent Mansion Master sent the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder to find Zhang Ritian and retrieve the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, while Su Yun was relieved that the false report distracted them from Bai Ya and Lv Man’s deaths.
• After more than a month, Su Yun sealed Green Lotus Core Flame inside Zi Yan and Medusa to protect them from the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
• Su Yun explained that the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame could mark magical beasts and transfer between them, and that Zi Yan’s flame would repel it while Medusa’s would trap it.
• Su Yun’s group returned to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and followed the Blazing Sun Crystal Ball as it guided them toward the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
• When the Blazing Sun Crystal Ball shone brightly, Su Yun told Qing Lin to have Queen Medusa search the indicated area alone.

Su Yun and his companions found the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which had been hiding inside a pink fox and fleeing their search. As the flame took control of Medusa and stirred up a Beast Tide, Su Yun reached her and had Qing Lin fight for control, leaving the struggle unresolved.

• Qing Lin used her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to guide Medusa toward the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which revealed itself by leaving a pink fox and entering Medusa.
• Su Yun's Green Lotus Core Flame trapped the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame inside Medusa, but it stirred the magical beasts into a Beast Tide and forced Medusa toward a cliff.
• Su Yun ordered his companions to hold back the Beast Tide while he and Qing Lin pursued Medusa, and the flame eventually exhausted the barrier he had placed inside her.
• Su Yun found Medusa suffering as red flames spread through her body, and Qing Lin said she could contest the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame for control of her.
• Su Yun told Qing Lin to do everything she could to take control of Medusa from the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.

Su Yun used Qing Lin’s Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the Green Lotus Core Flame, and his Spirit Realm Soul Power to subdue and recover the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame. Queen Medusa evolved into a weakened Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, leaving Su Yun to consider what its divided souls might mean.

• Qing Lin helped Su Yun seize control of Queen Medusa while he bound the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame with the Green Lotus Core Flame and erased most of its spirituality.
• Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, Su Xuehui, Hai Bodong, and Wu Tianlang fought the beast tide until the Magical Beasts lost their frenzy.
• Su Yun ordered the System to recover the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, and the recovery succeeded.
• Su Yun sensed life in Queen Medusa’s ashes and uncovered a nearly dead Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.
• Su Yun let go of his killing intent after realizing Queen Medusa’s soul and the python’s soul had split, leaving their future dominance uncertain.

Su Yun and his companions searched unsuccessfully for Beast Spirit Venerable’s inheritance, then left the Heavenly Serpent Empire with Su Xuehui. Meanwhile, Zhang Ritian and Zhang Wei escaped an attack that destroyed their shelter.

• Su Yun reunited with Xiao Yi Xian and Hai Bodong, rested with the group overnight, and planned to search the cliff where Beast Spirit Venerable had fallen.
• The group searched the cliff for a day but found no inheritance, and Su Yun explained that refining the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame would not let him control the beasts it had controlled before.
• Su Yun invited Su Xuehui to return with them, and she agreed; the group packed their belongings, summoned the Griffon Beast, and left the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
• Zhang Ritian brought Zhang Wei to a thatched hut and explained that his injuries had healed and he had advanced to Six-Star Dou Zong, but he had been hurt protecting Zhang Wei from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
• Zhang Ritian sensed danger and fled with Zhang Wei just before an enormous Dou Qi python flattened the hut and its surroundings.

Su Yun’s group escaped a Heavenly Serpent Mansion informant, then returned to the Jia Ma Empire to help Qing Lin find Sixth-Tier snake-type Magical Beasts. The group arrived at the Mittel Family, while Zhang Ritian was cornered by three Dou Zong elders at the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.

• The Great Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and two other Dou Zong elders surrounded Zhang Ritian and demanded he reveal the owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, but Zhang Ritian denied knowing anything.
• Su Yun detected a Dou Emperor spying on the group and ordered Hai Bodong to capture him; Su Yun recovered the man’s memories and learned he had reported Bai Ya to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, so Su Yun ordered Hai Bodong to kill him.
• Twenty days later, Su Yun and his companions parted ways with Wu Tianlang and Su Xuehui, and Su Yun explained that they were returning to the Jia Ma Empire to find Qing Lin two Sixth-Tier snake-type Magical Beasts.
• Qing Lin told Su Yun that, with Da Dou Shi cultivation, she expected to control four Sixth-Tier snake-type Magical Beasts, but not a Seventh-Tier one.
• After more than twenty days of travel, Su Yun’s group reached the Mittel Family, where Mitel Tengshan welcomed them and Hai Bodong asked him to prepare food and wine.

Su Yun examined the weakened Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python and damaged Queen Medusa’s soul, then arranged for Zi Yan and Qing Lin to watch over the snake. He left Queen Medusa unconscious and near spiritual collapse, intent on making the snake’s soul dominant when their souls merged again.

• After a night with Xiao Yi Xian, Su Yun entered the System Space to examine the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python and Queen Medusa.
• Su Yun found both souls weak and reasoned that the snake’s soul could dominate if its Soul Power surpassed Queen Medusa’s before they merged.
• Su Yun repeatedly struck Queen Medusa’s soul with a small soul sword until it was broken and nearly dissipated, then took the snake out of the System Space.
• Su Yun called Zi Yan and Qing Lin over, promised Zi Yan more pills, and asked her to watch the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.
• Qing Lin recognized the little snake, while Zi Yan agreed to keep an eye on it.
