Xiao Yan gathered rare ingredients, rescued Murong Qianqian from Xu Songming’s family, and established his strength in Yan City. At the auction, he traded Thousand-Fan Leaves for the Blazing Flame Flower and then watched bidding for a fourth-tier pill escalate when Jin Yao revealed a Spirit Class cultivation method.
Xiao Yan secured the Blazing Flame Flower, then faced Zhao Xian’s ambush and survived with help from Jin Yao and Murong Hao. After recovering, Xiao Yan confronted the wounded Zhao Xian to claim the Ultimate Transformation Pill, and the fight ended with Zhao Xian trying to consume his soul power.
Xiao Yan gained strength from Zhao Xian’s Soul Origin and searched Hanxi City for rare ingredients and soul treasures. After the Sun and Bai Clans tried to capture him, he fought off hundreds of Half-Emperors and badly wounded Sun Shuo with Buddha's Fury Reincarnation.
After surviving Sun Shuo’s assault, Xiao Yan prepared for the Ancient Ruins while refining a pill that strengthened the Northern King. In Xilin City, the Four Great Clans assembled and clashed, while Bai Zhan concealed his strength ahead of the expedition.
Xiao Yan entered the Ancient Ruins seeking the Soul-Congealing Fruit, survived its deadly formation, and gathered treasures while searching its chambers. He rescued elders from the Cloud-Hidden Pavilion and fought off three black-robed brothers, then let the survivors leave before calling after them at the doorway.
Xiao Yan survived Sun Hanxi’s attack, found the Soul-Congealing Fruit, and gained the One-Horned Whale Serpent as a companion. At the golden hall, Sun Hanxi’s death fueled a clash between the clans before a hidden chamber’s treasures triggered a deadly battle.
Xiao Yan and the clans fought through the ruins’ formation and battled over the inheritance, which the One-Horned Whale Serpent swallowed. After Xiao Yan’s Fire Lotus devastated the plaza, he disappeared from the ruins and reappeared beyond the snowbound mountains with Tian Ying and two others, facing Leng Bingshuang.
Xiao Yan mastered the Strength Elephant Art, reached Xuan City in search of a Fire Plume Flower, and defeated Lin Zehong after the Lin Clan demanded an apology. He uncovered a hidden drawback to his new technique while the city prepared for the auction.
Xiao Yan won the Fire Plume Flower and a Saint Class technique fragment at the Spatial Auction, then faced the Huo and Bai Clans when he left Xuan City. Injured after escaping their attack, he fled into a forest and entered the lair of a Nine-Star Half-Emperor magical beast.
Xiao Yan escaped the Huo Clan’s pursuit, refined the Bodhi Restoration Pill and Emperor Tribulation Pills, then entered Leng Bingshuang’s ice palace to treat her. Leng Bingshuang took the pill and left Xiao Yan unconscious as her cold poison spread through him.
Xiao Yan obtained the Ice Soul and Ice Spirit Cold Liquid, refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and broke through to Dou Di. As the Hun Clan seized Xun'er and the Four Great Clans attacked Tian Ying and his companions, Xiao Yan completed his Emperor Tribulation and rushed toward the battle.
Xiao Yan emerged from the Emperor Tribulation, fought the Four Great Clans, and escaped Ye Luotian's scheme with Leng Bingshuang's help. His journey toward the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb brought him into conflict with the Four Great Sects and into the Alchemist Alliance, before both sides agreed to swear an oath over opening the tomb in one year.
After learning that Xun'er was imprisoned by the Ghost Hall, Xiao Yan crossed the Western Wilderness Region and became embroiled in the Fang Clan’s conflict with the Wang Clan. He revealed his Five-Star Dou Di strength as the battle began, leaving Wang Xiang facing a suddenly unfavorable confrontation.
Xiao Yan destroyed the Wang Clan’s forces, secured resources for the Fang Clan, and traveled to Golden Radiance City to bid for a Fusang Flower. After clashing with the city’s formation masters, he absorbed a strange wind that greatly strengthened him and prepared to refine a Spirit Awakening Pill for the auction.
Xiao Yan completed a fourth-tier pill, survived its Pill Lightning with the Northern King’s help, and won the Long Lin Fruit before exposing a scammer and obtaining the real Fusang Flower. Qin Yun then lured Xiao Yan to the city-protecting formation and framed him for its destruction, leaving Xiao Yan facing Cheng Zhihui as his Dou Qi recovered.
Xiao Yan survived Golden Radiance City’s destruction, strengthened his body and soul, and mastered new techniques while the city faced Qin Yun’s assault. He prepared for the one-year appointment at the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb and reached Early-Stage Six-Star Dou Di.
Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb seeking the Soul Origin and the Origin Return Mantra, while confronting the Four Great Sects and discovering Ye Luotian’s schemes. He obtained Venerable Heavenly Severing’s Soul Origin for Xiao Xuan and ended the stretch facing Ye Luotian’s forces with Luo Ao and Luo Jin at his side.
Xiao Yan reunited with Xiao Xuan, helped Cai'er and Zhu Family Village, then traveled north and entered the Obsidian Tower to cultivate. After confronting the Northern Wasteland Hall, Xiao Yan fought its Southern Hall Master, who sent the Northern King into the tower before Xiao Yan struck him with hidden steel needles.
Xiao Yan destroyed the Southern Hall, survived Qin Xu’s assault with Xing Qian’s help, and reached the North Sea. In North Army City, he killed the ship’s formation master, then agreed to help repair the vessel with Xiao Xuan’s assistance.
Xiao Yan traveled to the North Sea, saved people from Sea Flood Dragon attacks, and won his way to an audience with Hai Mochen by defeating Shui Miao and climbing the academy’s stone steps. Hai Mochen gave him his portion of the Flame Mantra as trouble arose in the Undersea Void Realm, and an illusory figure offered a solution to the formation crisis.
