Chapter Summaries

Qing Lin subdued the Extreme Cold Flood Dragon, and Lin Ye prepared to return with her to Black Seal City. Zi Yan approached them and joined their journey, and they flew out of the Magic Beast Mountain Range together.

• Qing Lin carried the unusually heavy Zi Yan and summoned the One-Horned Storm Python to help her fly.
• Lin Ye, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan crossed the Magic Beast Mountain Range and returned to Black Seal City.

Lin Ye accepted Zi Yan as his little sister after she sensed a kinship with his Devouring Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul. Three days later, after advancing to nine-star Dou King and preparing pills for the Black Seal Auction, he headed to the auction house with Zi Yan and Qing Lin.

• After returning to Black Seal City, Lin Ye took Qing Lin and Zi Yan to dinner, then rented Zi Yan her own room when she refused to share with Qing Lin.
• While Lin Ye refined pills, Zi Yan entered his room and asked whether he was one of her kind because her bloodline felt close to him.

Lin Ye attended the Black Seal Auction with Qing Lin and Zi Yan, waiting for the Earth Rank Movement Dou Technique Three Thousand Lightning Movement. When a Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map appeared, he recognized its significance and prepared to take it if he could not win it at auction.

• Lin Ye used his high-level VIP card to enter the auction with Qing Lin and Zi Yan.

• An incomplete Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map appeared, and Lin Ye recognized it and spotted Fan Ling, the Blood Sect's Young Sect Master.
• The auctioneer opened bidding on the map at one hundred thousand gold coins.

Lin Ye let Fan Ling win the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map, intending to take it from him later, then waited to see who would buy Three Thousand Lightning Movement. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion won the movement technique instead of the Black Skeleton Tomb, surprising Lin Ye and leaving him uncertain about its changed target.

• Lin Ye started bidding on the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map, then stopped and waited as other bidders drove up the price.

• Lin Ye waited through the bidding, expecting Fan Ling might eventually obtain the technique and give him a chance to take both auction items from him.
• The Heavenly Serpent Mansion won Three Thousand Lightning Movement, surprising Lin Ye because he had expected the Black Skeleton Tomb to buy it.

• Fan Lao emerged and demanded Three Thousand Lightning Movement, while Elder Qing ordered her disciples to flee and charged at him.
• Blood Sect archers fired from both sides of the forest, blocking the Heavenly Serpent Mansion disciples’ escape.

The chapter left Su Qian doubtful of Lin Ye’s claim until Lin Ye revealed his unfamiliar Emerald Blue Crystal Flame.

• Lin Ye and Su Qian passed through the crimson barrier into the cavern where the Fallen Heart Flame was sealed.
• Lin Ye told Su Qian he would extract the Fallen Heart Flame’s soul rather than kill or devour it.
• Lin Ye used the Emerald Blue Crystal Flame and Lightning Prison to bind the Fallen Heart Flame fire spirit as it attacked.

He traveled to Gloomy Forest to meet Yao Chen and found the Snake People Race building Night Snake City around a temple honoring Queen Medusa beneath his God of Creation faith.
