• Huang Qing recognized Zi Yan as an Ancient Void Dragon and realized Xiao Fan was a Dou Zun after Xiao Fan killed two of his clansmen.
• As the Wind Lightning Pavilion disciples began retreating, Xiao Fan moved to kill them, but Wind Lightning Zi emerged and asked him to wait.
• Wind Lightning Zi offered the Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body and his own life in exchange for sparing the disciples, explaining that he could not abandon those he had watched grow up.

• Xiao Fan warned the disciples not to oppose him again and let them leave; some departed with hatred, while others quietly went their own way.

Huang Qing disclosed that the clan had detected an Ancient Void Dragon’s presence but inexplicably stopped two Dou Zun elders from investigating, leaving Xiao Fan to suspect another party was restraining them.

On the way to Tianhuang City to seek Liu Qing’s help with entering Burning Flame Valley, Zi Yan began awakening, giving Xiao Fan a chance to break the soul imprint on the Crimson Storage Ring.

• Xiao Yan formed his Three Thousand Lightning Illusory Body, while Zi Yan remained asleep as she absorbed the energy inside her.
• Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan arrived in the Central Region and learned that Burning Flame Valley was recruiting high-ranking alchemists, requiring at least sixth-rank alchemists.
• Xiao Fan told Xiao Yan they would visit Liu Qing’s family in Tianhuang City to learn about Burning Flame Valley’s recruitment and use the city’s Spatial Passage to reach the Pill Region.
• Before they reached Tianhuang City, Zi Yan released a powerful Ancient Void Dragon aura, and Xiao Fan used the opportunity to attack the soul imprint on the Crimson Storage Ring.

Zi Yan reached Peak Dou Emperor and awakened the ability to travel through space before Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Zi Yan arrived in Tianhuang City. There, Xiao Fan challenged the Cheng Family’s claim to the Space Wormhole management rights by offering to produce an alchemist of a higher rank.

• Xiao Fan wore away part of the soul imprint on the Crimson Storage Ring as Zi Yan’s violet energy faded and she awoke at Peak Dou Emperor.
• Zi Yan discovered she had grown to a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old appearance, awakened her innate spatial ability, and traveled with Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan to Tianhuang City.
• At the Space Wormhole, Xiao Fan learned that the Cheng Family had taken the next three years of management rights from Liu Qing’s family with the help of a Sixth-Tier Alchemist.
• Xiao Fan stopped Elder Chi Huo from leaving and asked whether the Liu Family could regain the rights by presenting an alchemist of a higher rank.
• Elder Chi Huo declared that the Liu Family would manage Tianhuang City’s Spatial Passage for the next three years.

After Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan departed with Elder Chi Huo, the story shifted to Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun, who were trapped in the Fog Forest by a formation and a horde of magical beasts. As the beasts rallied under a strange flute-like sound and their strength ran low, Xiao Yi Xian feared they would not survive.

• Liu Qing watched Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan leave, then traded taunts with Lin Yan, while Cheng Yao regretted antagonizing the Liu family.
• In the Fog Forest, Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun faced another assault from dozens of injured magical beasts as Xiao Yi Xian's poisonous mist held them back.
• Nalan Yanran recalled that Xiao Yi Xian had advanced to a seven-star Dou Zong by consuming poison, while Nalan Yanran had reached four-star Dou Emperor and Yun Yun remained a Dou Zong.
• The three women had become trapped in a formation inside the ruins, where Xiao Yi Xian had killed one of three seventh-rank beasts but suffered severe injuries and lost much of her strength.
• A flute-like sound stirred the remaining beasts, and Xiao Yi Xian, nearly out of healing pills and unable to maintain the poisonous mist for long, feared they would fall before she could see Xiao Fan again.

Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Yun Yun were trapped in a formation and overwhelmed by frenzied magical beasts until Little Green revealed its ability to restore Xiao Yi Xian’s strength. They began using Qing’er to absorb the beasts’ energy as they fought to survive and find a way out.

• The magical beasts charged through Xiao Yi Xian’s poisonous mist, forcing her to draw it back as Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun prepared to fight.

• Xiao Yi Xian told Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun that Qing’er could help them withstand the beasts and that they needed to break the formation afterward.
• The three women rushed out to kill nearby magical beasts and left their corpses for Qing’er to absorb.

Xiao Yi Xian used Qing'er’s ability to absorb magical beasts’ blood essence to replenish her strength and prepare a counterattack. Meanwhile, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan arrived at Burning Flame Valley, where Tang Zhen welcomed the invited alchemists and offered to fulfill their requests in return for help refining a pill.

• Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Yun Yun killed nearby magical beasts while Qing'er absorbed their blood essence and restored Xiao Yi Xian’s energy.
• Xiao Yi Xian created a small ring of poisonous mist and told Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun to recover before they launched a counterattack.
• Elder Chi Huo brought Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Zi Yan to Burning Flame Valley and explained how its dormant volcanoes supplied fire attribute Dou Qi.
• A green-haired alchemist accused Xiao Fan’s group of impersonating high-tier alchemists, and Xiao Fan insulted him until he fell silent.
• Tang Zhen entered the hall, recognized Xiao Yan as unusual, and offered the invited alchemists rewards for helping refine his pill.

Tang Zhen tested the Alchemists by making them endure the aura of his Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire for ten minutes, hoping to find help with a high-grade pill. Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Master Huan were among the few who lasted until time ran out, while the eliminated Alchemists watched the survivors.

• Tang Zhen told the Alchemists they had to endure ten minutes in his Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire to qualify and gave them ice shards they could crush to withdraw safely.
• Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan entered the plaza, where Tang Zhen released the Heavenly Flame; Xiao Fan remained unaffected while Xiao Yan struggled and gained a clearer sense of the Dou Zun realm.
• The Alchemists began withdrawing one by one, and Tang Zhen watched Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan with growing hope that they could help him refine a high-grade pill.
• The green-haired Alchemist and another participant gave up, leaving Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Master Huan in the plaza as the ten-minute mark approached.
• Tang Zhen withdrew the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire when time ran out; Xiao Yan felt his cultivation had advanced, and the crowd turned its attention toward the green-haired Alchemist.

Xiao Fan revealed spirit-realm soul power to silence Ku Rong’s accusations that the trial had been rigged, and Tang Zhen expelled the dissenting Alchemists. Tang Zhen then led Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Master Huan into a part of the Burning Flame Valley filled with dense fire attribute energy.

• Ku Rong accused Tang Zhen of rigging the trial to favor Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, and challenged their ability to endure the nine dragon thunder gang fire.
• Xiao Fan released overwhelming spirit-realm soul pressure, forcing Ku Rong to admit he had falsely accused him and apologize to Tang Zhen.
• Tang Zhen ordered Elder Chi Huo to escort Ku Rong and the other dissenters out of the Burning Flame Valley.
• Tang Zhen offered resources to the remaining Alchemists, then arranged for disciples to entertain them and take Zi Yan along.
• Tang Zhen led the three successful candidates, Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Master Huan, to an area with exceptionally dense fire attribute energy.

Tang Zhen gathered Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Master Huan to refine a high-tier seventh-grade Fire Bodhi Pill to save his daughter after her failed attempt to absorb the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire. The refining began with the three alchemists aiding Tang Zhen, while Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan's requests remained subject to the Burning Flame Valley's approval.

• Tang Zhen explained that his daughter was dying after failing to absorb the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire and asked the alchemists to help refine a Fire Bodhi Pill.
• Tang Zhen promised rewards for their assistance, and Xiao Yan requested the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, which Tang Zhen agreed to petition the elders to grant if the refining succeeded.
• Xiao Fan asked to examine the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire's origin, but Tang Zhen said he could not immediately approve the request.
• Tang Zhen led Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, and Master Huan into a formation and began refining nearly a thousand ingredients with the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.
• After two days of refining, the other alchemists had left the valley, while Zi Yan remained under the care of Burning Flame Valley disciples.

Xiao Fan, Xiao Yan, Tang Zhen, and Master Huan completed the Fire Bodhi Pill, while Xiao Yan’s Heavenly Demon Puppet absorbed its pill tribulation. After Tang Zhen left with the pill to save his daughter, Xiao Fan discovered Zi Yan had slipped away and tracked her toward the valley’s depths, where she was trying to break through a mysterious rock face.

• Xiao Fan used his powerful soul strength to help Tang Zhen and Xiao Yan gather the medicinal essences and form the Fire Bodhi Pill as Master Huan weakened.
• The pill took shape and summoned a lightning tribulation, which Xiao Yan’s Heavenly Demon Puppet absorbed, strengthening the puppet.
• Tang Zhen collected the finished pill and left to save his daughter, while Master Huan departed and Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan returned to their courtyard.
• Xiao Fan discovered Zi Yan’s room was empty and went searching for her, leaving Xiao Yan in the courtyard.
• Xiao Fan tracked Zi Yan to a fire-rich valley, where she struck a seemingly impassable rock face and prepared to try again with her fist.

Xiao Fan and Zi Yan left the barrier around Old Ancestor Huoyun’s secluded cultivation grounds, and Xiao Fan warned Zi Yan not to trespass recklessly. Tang Zhen then thanked Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan, granted them the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, and unleashed the nine dragon thunder gang fire so Xiao Fan could study its power.

• Xiao Fan pulled Zi Yan away from the barrier and apologized to the unseen Old Ancestor Huoyun before leaving.
• Back at their courtyard, Xiao Fan made Zi Yan promise not to break through unknown barriers, and she agreed.
