• Ye Chen spotted a Spiritual White Fox, recognized its Eyes of Illusion Breaking, and told Hu Tian to catch it.

Ye Chen chased down and captured the Spiritual White Fox in the mountain mist, becoming separated from Hu Tian along the way. Just as he prepared to use the fox to search for Hu Tian, a huge Magical Beast charged at them through the fog.

• Ye Chen pursued the fleeing Spiritual White Fox at high speed, while Hu Tian lost sight of him and tried to follow.

• The exhausted Spiritual White Fox surrendered, and Ye Chen promised to care for it in exchange for its help.
• The Spiritual White Fox seemed to accept Ye Chen, but a nearby roar alerted them to a massive Magical Beast charging through the mist.

Ye Chen escaped the dense fog with the Spiritual White Fox and fought a gigantic silver bear in a hidden valley. He discovered that the bear seemed to be made of energy and that his Starfire could pierce its defenses, then resolved to defeat it and investigate its origins.

• Ye Chen followed the Spiritual White Fox's directions out of the fog while the giant beast pursued them.

• Ye Chen knocked the bear down with Dragon Flame Song, but its silver energy ripple extinguished the flames and blunted the attack.
• Ye Chen confirmed that Starfire passed through the bear's energy ripple and hurt it, then suspected the creature was made of energy rather than flesh.

• Ye Chen told Hu Tian about chasing the White Fox, encountering the Silver Giant Bear, and discovering that its core was a Meteorite Stone.

• Ye Chen decided to rest before exploring deeper into the valley, then broke through to seven-star Dou Ling and refined some of the two Meteorite Stones over three days.

• Ye Chen chose to attack the beasts quickly and retreat before attracting stronger creatures.
• Hu Tian killed one Flying Horse Giant Beast and collected its Meteorite Stone, while Ye Chen struck another with Starfire.

After Ye Chen emerged from the silver stone with the Star Emblem Storage Ring, the rabbit revealed that the inheritance’s creator was still alive and had left the Dou Qi Continent for the Great Thousand World.

• The rabbit asked Ye Chen to lend it the ring and called the inheritance’s treasures worthless junk, shocking Ye Chen.

Ye Chen watched the Dead Rabbit free itself, devour the energy beasts in the valley, and leave for the Starry Sky Universe. He escaped the valley and told Hu Tian what had happened.

• The Dead Rabbit used the Star Crest Ring to remove its restraint, then returned the ring to Ye Chen and called a gathering of beasts with a piercing cry.
• More than a thousand giant beasts crowded into the valley and submitted to the Dead Rabbit, which absorbed their energy as prepared supplements.
• After devouring the beasts, the Dead Rabbit said it had recovered only seventy percent of its power, then tore open space and left for the Starry Sky Universe.
• Ye Chen hurried out of the valley, reflecting that the rabbit might have come from beyond Dou Qi Continent and resolving to focus on growing stronger.
• Ye Chen met the anxious Hu Tian, who asked about the beasts, and explained that the Dead Rabbit had consumed them as tonics.
