Xiao Yi fought Hun Yang with three Ancient Void Dragon puppets, but Hun Yang’s twin-meridian techniques overwhelmed them and forced Xiao Yi to recall them.

• Xiao Yi sent the Southern and Western King puppets to attack Hun Yang, but Hun Yang’s Twin Meridians Soul Barrier blocked their strikes.
• Hun Yang summoned a soul dragon, which the Northern King puppet shielded against while the Southern King puppet pierced and destroyed it.
• Hun Yang unleashed Twin Meridians: Soul Prison, raising his aura to early six-star Dou Saint and trapping Xiao Yi and the puppets.

• Hun Yang advanced on Xiao Yi, who lit the Emperor Mark between his brows and prepared to fight him directly.

• Hun Tiandi fused the bloodlines into Hun Linyuan, whose power rose as his Netherflame Divine Blood transformed, then told him to prove himself as a candidate for young clan leader.

• Xiao Yi explained that Xiao Xuan had protected him and the Xiao Clan, and said he had been searching for a way to help his ancestor since his revival.

Xiao Yi and Elder Shennong began refining a Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill, relying on the Nine-Turn Soul-Pattern Formation to channel the energy needed for the tier-nine mysterious pill. The formation drained the land within a thousand miles, and Xiao Yi struggled with its immense soul-power consumption as the refining began.

• Elder Shennong added the soul-type ingredients to the cauldron while Xiao Yi activated the formation to draw spiritual energy from a thousand miles away.
• The formation drained the surrounding land and spiritual veins, leaving a wasteland as Xiao Yi felt the refining consume far more soul power than he expected.

Xiao Yi and Elder Shennong refined the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill, enduring a dangerous clash of medicinal powers before forming its embryonic pill. Its birth summoned the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, leaving the pill’s tribulation ahead.

• Xiao Yi joined Elder Shennong in refining the pill, using their perfected Heaven Realm soul power to combine the ingredients and nine Nine-Aperture Soul Crystals over half a month.
• Xiao Yi added the Bodhi Heart, but its origin power clashed with the other ingredients and threatened to make the medicinal liquid explode.
• Elder Shennong used his blood essence and Life Spirit Flame to suppress the liquid, while Xiao Yi sacrificed blood essence to activate his Heavenly Flame and force the ingredients to fuse.
• Xiao Yi added the Reincarnation Flower, whose runes calmed the medicinal powers and helped form the emerald-green embryonic pill.
• The embryonic pill summoned the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, and Elder Shennong recognized the extraordinary pill tribulation.

Xiao Yi and Elder Shennong completed the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill after Xiao Yi’s puppets sacrificed themselves to block three bolts of Nine Profound Golden Lightning. Xiao Xuan swallowed the pill to repair his damaged soul origin, and its power began healing the cracks.

• Nine Profound Golden Lightning struck the pill refinement, and Xiao Yi deployed three Dragon Island puppets to protect the cauldron while Elder Shennong stabilized the formation.

Xiao Yi traveled with Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Qing Lin to the Nine Serene Yellow Springs to search for the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal and the Yellow Springs Demon Saint’s inheritance. He found the imprisoned Yao Ming, who offered the Blood Crystal in exchange for help escaping, while Xiao Yan and the others were discovered by the tribe above.

• Xiao Xuan told Xiao Yi to investigate Xiao Chen’s whereabouts and authorized him to use a spatial jade token for protection; he also suggested bringing Xiao Yan and Medusa so Medusa could cultivate in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.
• Xiao Yi set out with Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Qing Lin, and Qing Lin’s Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils helped them locate the Nine Serene Yellow Springs within the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python territory.
• Xiao Yi told Xiao Yan to protect Medusa, then descended into the Yellow Springs behind a barrier of Voidfall Heavenburning Flame to search for the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal.
• Xiao Yi heard someone call for help and found Yao Ming chained to a dark stone, where the chains drained his Dou Qi and filled him with frigid power.
• Yao Ming offered Xiao Yi the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal if he freed him, but Xiao Yi questioned the risk and challenged his claim to be clan chief because Yao Xiaotian currently held that title.

Yao Ming killed Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder, reclaimed leadership of the Nine Serene Ground Python clan, and offered Xiao Yi access to the Yellow Springs Demon Saint’s legacy in repayment for his help.

Xiao Yi entered the Yellow Springs Stone Stele to seek the Yellow Springs Demon Saint’s inheritance and endured the remnant soul’s overwhelming Emperor Realm pressure. After trading blows with the Demon Saint, Xiao Yi faced the high-tier soul technique Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury.
