Xie Feng and his companions followed the Qilin King Secret Key Diagram to the Desolate Realm, where Gu Yu absorbed the energy stored in several volcanoes and was beaten unconscious by their guardian. Xie Feng and Xiangxiang pretended Gu Yu had died to pressure the bird-headed dwarf, who faced blame for supposedly killing him and leaving Xiangxiang alone.

• Xie Feng claimed the dwarf had effectively killed both Gu Yu and Xiangxiang by leaving her without family.

Xie Feng and his companions subdued a bird-headed dwarf who attacked them after they asked about treasure, then forced him to guide them to Emperor Bone Mountain. The group traveled through the volcanic range with the dwarf leading the way.

• The group entered the hollow volcano, where the bird-headed dwarf pointed out a black barrier and said Emperor Bone Mountain lay beyond it.

Xie Feng and his companions entered the volcanic cavern, found Emperor Bone Mountain, and confronted three outsiders who had come for the mountain and recognized Xie Feng from a bounty notice. The outsiders prepared to capture him alive for the Emperor’s Fortune.

• Xiangxiang shattered the black barrier, revealing Emperor Bone Mountain, while the bird-headed dwarf promised to behave in exchange for the group’s protection.

At the volcanic crater, they reunited with the Imperial Evil Lord and Nether Dao, who had regained his human form, and both were stunned to discover Xie Feng was a god.
