• Fatty marveled at the spiritual energy spilling out from the Doorway and wondered whether it was denser inside.

Jiang Fan’s group entered the doorway and discovered that its dense spiritual energy could help them cultivate, while spatial rules sharply suppressed Jiang Fan’s martial strength. The group learned that only people under thirty could enter, and Jiang Fan remained formidable thanks to his unaffected Psychic Power and Beast Tamer abilities.

• Jiang Fan led his group through the doorway, where they found a dark world illuminated by glowing specks of dense spiritual energy.

Jiang Fan led his exhausted team through a relentless hunt, but agreed to rest when Lan Shengxue asked. Meanwhile, Chao Yang’s team ran out of Blood Crystals while fleeing a huge Ruins Species horde, leaving them on the verge of being caught.

• Jiang Fan offered Chao Yang’s team a chance to join his hunt, but Chao Yang refused and left with his teammates.

• After the team used up its last Blood Crystal, Chao Yang’s exhausted teammates feared they were doomed and lamented what they would leave behind.

• As a Ruins Species tried to attack Lan Shengxue from behind, Jiang Fan stabbed her through the heart.
• The last female Ruins Species saw Jiang Fan's saber and stammered that he was another Spirit Master.

Jiang Fan gained 100 cubic meters of storage space, shared a huge haul of Blood Crystals with the Chao Yang Squad, and continued hunting Ruins Species with them for three days. The group then discovered a massive tribe led by two exceptionally powerful Ruins Species, and Ye Qizhen asked whether they could defeat them together.
