Zhou Feng's bloodline test revealed an exceptionally pure Sun-Swallowing Roc bloodline, which Chan'er identified as Bloodline Ancestral Return and quickly secured for Princess Ming's Estate. After a pill confirmed the bloodline and strengthened Zhou Feng's body, he settled into the estate with access to cultivation resources and awaited Princess Ming's return.

• Zhou Feng's blood caused the Bloodline Stone to manifest a Sun-Swallowing Roc, astonishing Chan'er and the other witnesses.
