He tasked Xiao Yan with investigating the ancient conflict between the Ancient Clan and the Xiao Tribe, beginning with Burning Flame Valley.

• Xiao Wujiu offered to spare Gu Xuner if Xiao Yan accepted that her Emperor Bloodline and cultivation would be crippled, and Xiao Yan agreed.

• Gu Xin learned from Gu Nanhai’s remaining information that Xiao Wujiu had defeated a late Four-Star Dou Sheng and likely fought at Five-Star Dou Sheng strength, so he resolved to join forces with the other Emperor Clans.
• Gu Xin decided not to pursue Xiao Yan because Gu Xuner’s rising strength made her important to the Ancient Clan’s future.
• Xiao Wujiu reappeared in the Skeleton Mountain Range, where Zi Yan greeted him with a punch to test her increased strength.

Xiao Wujiu brought Zi Yan back toward the Ancient Void Dragon clan after she reached early Five-Star Dou Sheng strength, and Hei Qing recognized her royal bloodline as the Dragon Emperor.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan reached Three-Star Dou Zun and traveled to Burning Flame Valley to investigate the history between the Xiao Tribe and the Ancient Clan.

• Zi Yan defeated the South Dragon King, but Xiao Wujiu arrived before she could contact him, prompting her to complain that he had beaten her there.
• Xiao Wujiu told Zi Yan to strengthen the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and outlined plans involving the Douluo God Realm, the Space Trading Fair, the Nine Nether Deep Python Clan, and the Pill Tower.
• Zi Yan told Xiao Wujiu that she wanted him to treat her as an adult and accept her feelings, but he explained that her father, Zhu Kun, was still alive and immensely powerful.

• Xiao Yan continued toward Burning Flame Valley at Three-Star Dou Zun, hoping to uncover the truth about the Ancient Clan's actions against the Xiao Tribe.

Xiao Wujiu arrived at Pill City and met the Three Great Heads of the Pill Tower, who brought him inside to discuss events that had occurred during his absence.

• Xiao Wujiu told Xuan Kongzi that he wanted the Three Thousand Burning Flame and offered to publicly refine five Tier 7 Pills, three Tier 8 Pills, and one Grade Nine Treasure Pill.
