Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yan reunited with Lord Ape at the renamed Fish Fresh Sect, cleared up a misunderstanding about the sect’s fishing talk, and left with Little Fairy Doctor for Starfall Pavilion. There, Yao Chen accepted a Tier 8 resurrection pill from Xuan Yi as Thunder Venerable warned Feng Qing’er that attacking Xiao Yan could spark a war.

• Xiao Yan learned that Lord Ape had taken human form after obtaining ancient Stone Ape essence blood from Zhou Mingrui and had renamed the Desire Immortal Sect the Fish Fresh Sect.

• Yao Chen announced his return, recruited Dou Zun Guest Elders, and helped Starfall Pavilion rise into a superpower second only to Danta and Soul Hall.

Xiao Yan learned that the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Clan had been exterminated, so Yao Chen set out to seek a Magic Core from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan while Xiao Yan traveled to the Pill Gathering. In the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xiao complained to Cailin that her name did not match her sisters’ and asked to be called Xiao Yan.

• Xuanyi refused Yao Chen’s request to exchange for the Three Thousand Burning Flame and told him Xiao Yan could compete for it at the Pill Gathering.
• Two years later, Mu Qingluan told Xiao Yan that the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Clan had been wiped out during the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan’s war against the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

• The Little Fairy Doctor resealed her Woeful Poison Body and told Xiao Yan she could hold out until Yao Chen returned, though the body's backlash had begun.

Xiao Yan reached Shengdan City, saw Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Star Domain, and earned a seventh-tier intermediate Alchemist badge. Meanwhile, Yao Chen discovered that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Realm had vanished, leaving him uneasy about a growing conflict that could spread beyond the Beast Region.

• Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor arrived in Shengdan City, where Xiao Yan sensed Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Star Domain before Xuankongzi drove his Soul Power away.

• Yao Chen found that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Realm had disappeared, while Cold Jade and Mu Qingluan speculated about the war between the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and Taixu Ancient Dragon clans.

Yao Chen searched the Beast Region for a seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core and a way to contact the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, but learned that the Taixu Ancient Dragons and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan had vanished. Soul Clan investigators suspected the disappearances were connected to Lord Void, alarming Hun Tiandi as the Soul Clan’s plans faced new uncertainties.

• After Cold Jade Eagle could not help find the Magic Core, Yao Chen asked Mu Qingluan to take him to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan through its subordinate Poison Dragon Tribe.

• Hun Zhang, Hun Qiu, and Hun Dan searched the former Demon Phoenix Realm, and Hun Zhang found a Heavenly Demon Phoenix feather.
• Hun Zhang compared the disappearances to the Nine Serene Deep Nether Python Tribe’s vanishing, and the three Soul Clan members decided to investigate the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
• Hun Tiandi examined the feather and grew irritated that the vanishings might signal a rival race and further disrupt the Soul Clan’s plans.

Xiao Zhan oversaw the slaughter of the Taixu Ancient Dragons and Heavenly Demon Phoenixes to provide materials for Amon’s Ninth-Grade Golden Pill, while Wu Meng explained the Xiao Tribe’s need to grow strong enough to face the Soul Clan. Wu Meng left the clan to fulfill his final wish, and Xiao Zhan and the clan’s core members bid him farewell as he planned a dramatic death in the Soul Realm.

• Xiao Zhan questioned the need to exterminate the Taixu Ancient Dragons and Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, but Wu Meng said their remains were needed to refine a Ninth-Grade Golden Pill for Amon.
• Wu Meng revealed that he was dying from old injuries and urged Xiao Zhan to prioritize the Xiao Tribe’s survival, rely on Amon for now, and put the family’s interests above morality and personal principles.

• Xiao Zhan, the elders, and the Xiao Clan’s younger members knelt and bid farewell to Wu Meng as he departed.
• Wu Meng took out a crystal-textured Monocle and decided to go to the Soul Realm to fight a Soul Clan elder in a final, public confrontation.

Mu Gu and Soul Hall planned to disrupt the Pill Gathering and seize the Three Thousand Burning Flame, while Hun Xiao entered the Pill World and sent A-Xiao to hunt its strongest magical beast. Xiao Yan joined a group seeking medicinal ingredients, and they discovered the Ancient Dragon Bear dead before a pale-blue figure burst from the Stone Hall.

• A-Xiao sealed the mountaintop in ice and attacked the trapped contestants, while Xiao Hun admitted she wanted to eliminate rivals and ordered Xiao Yan to concede.
• Xiao Hun let Xiao Yan and Cao Ying take ingredients from the cave, then sent A-Xiao to hunt anyone trying to leave the Pill World.
• Xiao Yan, Xiao Hun, and Cao Ying emerged from the Pill World; Old Monster Qinghua later appeared injured and claimed Soul Hall members had attacked contestants.
• Elder Mu Gu admitted the Soul Hall had sent participants, but Xuankongzi ordered the Pill Gathering to continue under its rules.
• Dan Chen, Cao Ying, Old Monster Qinghua, and Elder Mu Gu refined Tier 8 pills before Xiao Yan produced a pill with six-colored Pill Lightning.
• Xiao Hun finally presented a bottle of Rejuvenation Powder, astonishing the audience because it was barely a Tier 1 product rather than a medicinal pill.

Xiao Yan and the other contenders entered the Star Domain to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame, but Hun Xiao broke its seal and tried to drain its power with the Devouring Soul Sword. The sword suddenly vanished with Hun Xiao, and the chapter ended with Hun Zhang confronting Xiao Yuanshan near the Soul Hall Heaven Hall.

• Hun Xiao received tenth place in the Pill Gathering, and Xuankongzi briefed Xiao Yan, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen on the Star Domain and the Soul Hall’s possible interference.
• Qiu Ling led the contenders into the Star Domain, where Xiao Yan’s attempt to communicate with the Three Thousand Burning Flame failed and burned away his soul power.

• Hun Zhang brought Wu Meng into the Soul Realm, where Hun Tiandi and the Soul Clan’s experts gathered to face the apparent Xiao Chen.
• Wu Meng challenged Hun Jing to a duel, and Hun Tiandi promised to end the Soul Clan’s hatred of the Xiao Tribe and protect Hun Jing’s descendants.

• Wu Meng and Hun Jing fought for hours before Wu Meng fell into the ravine and died, and Xiao Zhan watched through Amon’s body.
• Xiao Zhan vowed to carry on for the Xiao Tribe, then asked Hun Mi to tell Hun Tiandi that he wished to speak with him.

• Hun Tiandi accepted the exchange and designated Soul Hall Heaven Hall as the handover location.

After Xiao Yan reached two-star Dou Zun, he and the Little Fairy Doctor searched for a cure for her worsening Woeful Poison Body, but the needed Magic Core could not be found. As the Little Fairy Doctor’s poison erupted and killed her, Xiao Yan discovered too late that Hun Xiao possessed a necklace made from Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Cores.

• Xiao Yan absorbed the flames in the Star Domain and advanced to two-star Dou Zun, while the Little Fairy Doctor’s strength also rose as her seal weakened.

• Xiao Yan spent his remaining days with the Little Fairy Doctor, who grew increasingly ill and reminisced with him beneath the stars.
• The Little Fairy Doctor sent Xiao Yan away and exploded at the cliff, releasing poison that killed nearby life; a black-robed young man retrieved a golden flame and crystal from the poisonous mist.
• Hun Xiao rescued Xiao Yan from the poison and revealed that her necklace contained several Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Cores, which Xiao Yan realized could no longer save the Little Fairy Doctor.

Xiao Ding entered the Shennong Mountain Range and revealed the Flame of Life to the Medicine Clan in order to request a pill-refining service. Clan leader Yao Dan agreed to hear his request, but Xiao Ding said the Medicine Clan would first have to prove itself before he decided whether to trade.

• Xiao Ding told Yao Dan that he had not decided to trade the Flame of Life and that the Medicine Clan would first have to prove itself.

Xiao Ding persuaded Yao Dan to hold the Medicine Ceremony early, offering the champion Tuoshe Ancient God's cultivation technique and seeking the best Alchemist to refine pills. In the Heavenly Tomb, Amon replaced its Soul and escaped in the form of a giant Taixu Ancient Dragon, then fought Gu Yuan while fleeing the Ancient Realm.

• Xiao Ding convinced Yao Dan to hold the Medicine Ceremony early and promised the champion Tuoshe Ancient God's cultivation technique in addition to the Flame of Life deal.
• The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb went mad and devoured energy bodies, while Amon's arrangements gradually took control of it and replaced it with Amon aggregates.
• Amon emerged from the Heavenly Tomb as a giant Taixu Ancient Dragon and tore through space to leave.
• Gu Yuan tried to stop Amon from escaping the Ancient Realm, but Amon's Dragon Breath shattered Gu Yuan's defense and sent him flying backward.

Amon attacked the Ancient Clan, forcing Gu Yuan to defend its people before allowing the dragon to escape. Gu Yuan then sent Gu Tongxuan into the Heavenly Tomb to seek answers from Xiao Xuan, while the empty first and second levels revealed that something had devoured their energy beings.

• Gu Yuan struck Amon with the Nietian Finger, but Amon retaliated by firing a giant fireball toward the Ancient Clan's populated outskirts.
• Gu Yuan stopped the fireball with the Ancient Emperor Palm, and King Hienie and the other experts protected the clansmen from the explosion's aftermath.
• Amon opened a Spatial Passage and escaped, and Gu Yuan chose not to pursue him to avoid risking the Ancient Clan in a costly battle.
• At an emergency meeting, King Hienie connected Amon's arrival to a disturbance four years earlier, and Gu Yuan decided to ask Xiao Xuan about it.
• Gu Yuan tried to enter the Heavenly Tomb but was rejected, so he sent Gu Tongxuan, the strongest Ban Sheng permitted inside, to find Xiao Xuan.
• Gu Tongxuan discovered that the first and second levels had been stripped of their energy beings, then followed Xiao Xuan's summons toward the deeper regions.

Gu Tongxuan told Xiao Xuan that the Xiao Tribe had secretly survived and grown stronger, then returned to report to Gu Yuan. In Starfall City, Hun Xiao found Xiao Yan drinking himself into despair over Little Fairy Doctor and offered news about Xiao Meng.

• Gu Tongxuan told Xiao Xuan that the Xiao Clan was a façade for a hidden Xiao Tribe, likely developed by Xiao Chen, and answered his questions about the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the missing energy bodies.
• Xiao Xuan asked Gu Tongxuan to tell the Xiao Tribe to send its most outstanding younger member to him, then vanished.
• Gu Tongxuan reported to Gu Yuan, who sent him to accompany Xun'er to meet Xiao Yan while warning him to protect her bloodline.
• In Starfall City, Xiao Yan drank heavily and repeatedly called for Little Fairy Doctor while Hun Xiao watched him.
• Hun Xiao told Xiao Yan that she knew where Xiao Meng was.

• Hun Xiao revealed that she was an Honored Elder of the Soul Hall and told Xiao Yan that Protector Wu might be guarding Xiao Meng in the Earth Hall.
• Hun Xiao warned Xiao Yan that the Earth Hall was overseen by a Dou Sheng and could summon the Soul Hall Hall Master, but Xiao Yan insisted on rescuing Xiao Meng immediately.

• Yao Chen agreed to help Xiao Yan rescue Xiao Meng and confront the Soul Hall.

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen led Starfall Pavilion’s Guest Elders in a surprise assault on the Soul Hall’s Earth Hall to rescue Xiao Meng and settle old debts. Yao Chen engaged the Vice Hall Master while Xiao Yan pushed inside, learning that Xiao Meng was deeper in the hall.

• Xiao Yan recruited Guest Elders for the dangerous mission, promising each participant three Tier 8 Medicinal Pills, including one that would summon Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.
• Yao Chen and Xiao Yan set out with the volunteers, traveled through a temporary Spatial Passage, and reached the area near Desolate Valley after more than two days.
• Yao Chen sealed off the Soul Hall’s space, then fought the Vice Hall Master in the void as Xiao Yan led the others into the Earth Hall.
