Chapter Summaries

After defeating Blood Claw, Xiao Yun secured peace between the Dragon Hawk Clan and the Azure Luan Clan, then recovered from his injuries. Medusa awakened and learned about Xiao Yi Xian’s rapid rise, the Beast Domain, and the potential for her own bloodline to evolve at the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan Grounds.

• Xiao Yun learned that Blood Claw had received the Dragon Inheritance from the Blood Flame Dragon Clan and might help him find the Ancient Void Dragons.

• Xiao Yi Xian entered and joined Xiao Yun and Medusa, who learned that Xiao Yi Xian had reached Eight-Star Dou Zun after controlling her Woeful Poison Body with a Poison Core.
• Xiao Yun told Medusa they were in the Beast Domain and explained that visiting the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan Grounds could awaken her inherited bloodline and increase her strength.

Xiao Yun accepted the Azure Luan Clan’s gifts and set off with Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian to seek information about dragon-type Magical Beasts. Blood Claw agreed to take them directly to the Blood Flame Dragon Clan, and the group flew south.

• Qing Geng thanked Xiao Yun for protecting the Azure Luan Clan and gave him medicinal herbs and a Spatial Jade Token.

• Xiao Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa boarded Blood Claw, who flew south toward the Blood Flame Dragon Clan Grounds.

Xiao Yun helped Medusa calm the Heaven Swallowing Python inheritance phantoms in her mind, and she learned that a bloodline relic was calling her. The group reached the relic’s location in the Nine Serene Ground Python territory, where other snake-type Magical Beasts were gathering.

• Medusa suffered a severe headache, so Xiao Yun entered her mental domain and restrained two battling Heaven Swallowing Python phantoms.
• Medusa spoke with the phantoms, learned that they carried information about her clan’s inheritance, and watched them return to her bloodline.
• Medusa revealed that the relic lay in Nine Serene Ground Python territory, and Blood Claw agreed to guide the group there after Xiao Yun promised him access to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
• After a day of flight, the group saw many snake-type Magical Beasts heading toward the relic as Medusa’s bloodline led them to its location.
• Blood Claw stopped in a lush mountain range, and Medusa said the group should enter through the mountains ahead.

Xiao Yun and his companions entered a hidden Dou Sheng Space through a quiet entrance opened by Medusa and followed her bloodline’s call toward the ruins’ center. Medusa awakened a massive passage beneath the earth, revealing the next route into the ruins.

• Little Cai sensed the hidden entrance, and Medusa used her blood to open the Ruin Space while Xiao Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and Blood Claw concealed its spatial disturbance.
• Medusa led the group through the silver halo before it vanished, and they emerged inside a Dou Sheng Space.
• Medusa sensed a call from the forest, so Xiao Yun and the others headed there, encountering numerous giant pythons along the way.
• At the strongest point of Medusa’s bloodline sensation, she pressed her hands to the ground and caused the earth to split open into a massive black passage.

Xiao Yun, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Blood Claw descended through a vast underground serpent ruin and found a Heaven Swallowing Python skull at its deepest point. A soul imprint emerged and recognized Medusa’s bloodline, then sent the others away to tell her how to become a true Heaven Swallowing Python.

• Xiao Yun’s group discovered a gigantic snake skeleton leading into a vast underground world and followed Medusa’s sense of a presence deeper below.
• Xiao Yun noticed the descending energy growing colder and used his Heavenly Flames to shield Blood Claw as they continued downward.

• Medusa explained how she had evolved from a Snake-People Tribe member and told the soul imprint that the Ancient Heavenly Serpents and their descendants had nearly vanished.
• The soul imprint asked Xiao Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and Blood Claw to leave, and Xiao Yun placed a protective mark on Medusa before departing.
• The soul imprint told Medusa that it would teach her how to become a true Heaven Swallowing Python.

Xiao Yun and Blood Claw concealed the entrance to Medusa’s inheritance site after the ruins opened, but the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan eventually found them. Xiao Yun attacked the four intruders and restrained them, leaving the group facing a dangerous confrontation while Medusa remained underground.

• After Xiao Yi Xian sensed that the ruins’ spatial seal had vanished, Xiao Yun and Blood Claw sealed the forest entrance to conceal Medusa’s aura.
• A Nine Serene Ground Python elder lost his ability to sense a bloodline connection and led his group deeper into the ruins to search for it and for someone wanted by their clan.
• Several days later, a battle above the concealed entrance damaged the forest and exposed the spatial barrier, prompting Xiao Yun and Blood Claw to investigate.
• Xiao Yun and Blood Claw discovered four Nine Serene Ground Python Clan members, including a Five-Star Dou Zun, and chose to fight rather than flee.
• Xiao Yun sent out four Crimson Gold Fire Dragons and, after Blood Claw warned him not to kill the intruders, lowered the flames’ temperature and bound all four in place.

• Xiao Yun subdued four Nine Serene Ground Python Clan experts with his crimson-gold fire dragons and sealed their Dou Qi.

• Xiao Yun left the interrogation to Blood Claw and worried that the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan’s Dou Sheng experts might arrive while Medusa remained below.
• Xiao Yun sensed a strange spatial disturbance, shattered it with the Eight Desolations Annihilation Flame, and revealed a petite, masked figure who called him Brother Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun reunited with Qing Lin in the Beast Domain after nearly striking her with the Eight Desolations Annihilation Flame. As Qing Lin recounted how Sky Serpent Mansion’s conflict led her to gain Sky Serpent Ancestor and rise to Dou Zun, Xiao Yun seized the ancestor to speak with him while Xiao Yi Xian began asking about Qing Lin’s poison.

• Xiao Yun recognized Qing Lin beneath her Ghost God Mask and stopped Blood Claw from attacking her.

• Xiao Yun returned with Sky Serpent Ancestor, promised to refine him a Venerable One Pill, and showed him his Eighth-Tier Alchemist Badge.
• Qing Lin revealed that she carried the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan’s Emperor Python Heart-Eroding Poison, and Xiao Yun examined her and gave her a pill to suppress it.

• Qing Lin used her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control the captured Dou Zun while Xiao Yun restrained him.
• Xiao Yun told Qing Lin to question the controlled python about the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan.

Xiao Yun and his companions waited in the ruin until Medusa awakened and evolved into an Eight-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, drawing heavenly lightning. The Nine Serene Ground Python Clan sensed her ancestral transformation and sent its First Elder to retrieve her and Qing Lin.

• Xiao Yun had Qing Lin control the four Nine Serene Ground Python Clan intruders, then sealed the Dou Qi of the two she could not control and had Blood Claw abandon them in a dangerous area.
• After another month of searching and waiting, Qing Lin sensed a huge snake below, and Xiao Yun recognized that Medusa was about to awaken.
• Xiao Yun and his companions escaped the underground passage as a seven-colored pillar erupted, then watched Medusa emerge as an eight-colored python and endure the heavenly lightning.
• Blood Claw stopped Xiao Yun from intervening, explaining that Medusa had to withstand the lightning to complete her evolution, while Xiao Yun prepared to rescue her if necessary.
• The Nine Serene Ground Python Clan’s Clan Chief and First Elder sensed Medusa’s ancestral evolution and connected it to the missing Black Elder and Snake Guards.
• The Clan Chief ordered the First Elder, a Dou Sheng, to retrieve Qing Lin and the evolved snake from the ruin.

Medusa completed her evolution into an Eight-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, reaching Six-Star Dou Zun and gaining a Nine-Colored Origin Stone. As Xiao Yun and his companions tried to escape the ruin, Poison Snake Elder attacked and gravely injured Xiao Yun, until an old man emerged to protect them.

• Medusa finished evolving into an Eight-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, reached Six-Star Dou Zun, and received a matching cultivation technique and a Nine-Colored Origin Stone.

Fire Cloud Ancestor rescued Xiao Yun and fought Yao Yu, a First Elder of the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan, after Yao Yu attacked him.

• Yao Yu answered with Yellow Springs Roar, and their attacks tore apart the Dou Sheng Space.
• Fire Cloud Ancestor sensed another Dou Sheng approaching, grabbed Xiao Yun and the others, and escaped through the Void Space.

Xiao Yun’s group escaped Yao Yu after Fire Cloud Ancestor severely wounded the Nine Serene Ground Python elder, and they traveled to the Blood Flame Dragon Clan Grounds seeking a route to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. The Blood Flame Dragon Clan Chief and two elders prepared to meet the powerful visitors as Xiao Yun and his companions emerged from the spatial passage.

• Yao Yu survived Fire Cloud Ancestor’s High Heaven Tier attack but suffered grievous injuries, then left with a clan member to return to the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan.

• The Blood Flame Dragon Clan Chief and two elders evacuated nearby dragons and prepared for the arrival of the powerful visitors.
• Blood Claw blocked stray spatial energy from striking a young Blood Flame Dragon, and the Blood Flame Dragon Clan Chief recognized him as several figures emerged from the passage.

Xiao Yun asked the Blood Flame Dragon Clan to contact the Ancient Void Dragon Clan so he could find his friend and seek treatment for his injuries. The clan activated an ancient altar, and Hei Qing sensed the summons and decided to investigate.

• Yan Rui brought the group to an ancient contact altar and activated it with the jade tablet and dragon blood.
• Hei Qing sensed the bloodline connection from the Beast Domain and decided to go see who had summoned him.

Xiao Yun waited for Hei Qing to arrive, then arranged for Yan Rui and Blood Claw to accompany them to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s territory. As they traveled through Hei Qing’s spatial passage, he learned that Zi Yan had received the clan’s highest inheritance but kept trying to escape.

• Hei Qing explained that he had not sensed Xiao Yun’s broken jade token and told him that Zi Yan carried the old Dragon Emperor’s bloodline but had repeatedly tried to escape.
• The group reached a silver ring of light leading into the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s territory.

Xiao Yun and his companions arrived at Ancient Dragon Island and were shocked by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan’s power. After settling in, they reunited with Zi Yan, who noticed Xiao Yun’s grave weakness and feared he was dying.

• Hei Qing led Xiao Yun and his companions across Ancient Dragon Island, where they saw Dou Zun experts patrolling and were given places to stay.

• An attacker burst into the pavilion, but Xiao Yi Xian stopped the purple streak and revealed that it was Zi Yan.
• Zi Yan reunited with Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin, then noticed Xiao Yun’s frail condition and asked who had hurt him.

Zi Yan learned that the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan had injured Xiao Yun and brought out a mountain of herbs to help him recover, but he refused to use her clan’s supplies and returned to his room to heal. As Xiao Yun absorbed energy with a Heaven Tier cultivation technique, the Ancient Void Dragon elders began to suspect he was from the Xiao Clan.

• Zi Yan erupted in fury after seeing Xiao Yun injured, but he calmed her and named the Nine Serene Ground Python Clan as the culprits.
• Zi Yan offered Xiao Yun a huge collection of medicinal herbs, but he used one herb to make pills for her and declined the rest.

• Medusa and the other women sensed Xiao Yun’s cultivation and guarded the pavilion while he healed.
• The Ancient Void Dragon elders recognized Xiao Yun’s Heaven Tier cultivation technique and wondered whether his surname and origins connected him to the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Yun recovered on Ancient Dragon Island and learned that Elder Zhuming was searching for the missing Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan’s father. After Xiao Yun mentioned a dragon-like roar in the Northwestern Continent’s Magma World, Zhuming hurried away to alert the other elders, while Xiao Yun turned to finding a cure for Qing Lin’s poison.

• Zi Yan used her Dragon King authority to send away the guards, then told Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin that her father, the former Dragon Emperor, had died.
• After a month and a half, Xiao Yun’s aura surged as he recovered, and Elder Zhuming appeared to speak with him.

• Xiao Yun asked Zi Yan about detoxification methods for Qing Lin’s Emperor Python Heart-Eroding Poison, and promised to find a way to treat her.

Xiao Yun prepared a medicinal pool for Qing Lin before Elder Zhuli summoned him to discuss the search for the Dragon Emperor in the Underground Magma World. After learning that the Ancient Dragon Clan was divided and Eastern Dragon Island faced a powerful alliance, Xiao Yun offered to investigate the dangerous location himself.

• Xiao Yun prepared a medicinal pool infused with Ancient Dragon Thunder Liquid so Qing Lin could absorb it, and Xiao Yi Xian sealed him out of the pavilion.
• Elder Zhuli brought Xiao Yun to meet the elders of Eastern Dragon Island and asked him for more information about the Underground Magma World.
• Xiao Yun warned the elders that even a Four-Star Dou Sheng might not survive searching there, since a powerful guardian could be waiting beneath the earth.
• Zhuli and Zhuming explained that the Ancient Dragon Clan had split into four factions and that the Three Dragon Islands had joined forces against Eastern Dragon Island.
• After learning that finding the Dragon Emperor could reunite the clan, Xiao Yun volunteered to investigate the Underground Magma World, puzzling the elders.

Xiao Yun revealed his Xiao Clan heritage and insisted on exploring the Magma World, so the Ancient Void Dragon elders assigned Qing Shan to protect him and gave him a soul-strengthening treasure. He then traveled with Hei Qing to the Void Lightning Pool and entered it to cultivate, where his lightning devoured the pool’s attacks.

• Xiao Yun told the elders that his family mission required him to search the Magma World for the Dragon Emperor, and revealed that he descended from Xiao Xuan.
• Zhuming assigned the First Elder, Qing Shan, to accompany Xiao Yun and gave him a jade box to help him advance his soul realm.

• The lightning struck Xiao Yun but was devoured by the lightning around him, prompting Hei Qing to wonder what power he possessed.
