Episode 25 recap: Hun Mie Sheng opened the ancient ruins, and Xiao Yan obtained the remains of the Spirit Clan's Battle Saint.
Inside the main hall of the Soul Palace, Hun Mie Sheng was performing a formation spell. He told the esteemed elders of the Soul Palace below that he had opened the gate to the ancient ruins. However, he needed to set up a new formation and commanded one of the elders to retrieve something for him. The elder followed the order and left. Hun Mie Sheng looked around arrogantly and said, "The long-awaited moment has finally arrived."
Yao Chen remained unconscious, and Xiao Yan stayed by his side, feeling extremely anxious. Feng Xian was also searching for herbs that could awaken Yao Chen. Xiao Yan approached him and asked if there was a solution. Feng Xian told him that it was said the ancient ruins in the Beast Domain had been reopened. If they could find a medicinal herb called the Soul Infant Fruit inside, it might help Yao Chen recover his vitality.
Xiao Yan inquired about the significance of the ancient ruins, and Feng Zun Zhe explained that the ancient ruins were sealed spaces left behind after the fall of ancient powerhouses, containing many rare treasures. Xiao Yan decided to immediately go and search for the Soul Infant Fruit. Feng Xian expressed his concerns, mentioning that while the reopening of the ancient ruins was a good thing, it was suspicious that they suddenly opened at this time. He worried that it might be related to the Soul Palace.
Xiao Yan reassured him not to worry, as Mu Gu had already died, and he no longer had the Devil Poison Spot on his body. He had no concerns about facing the Soul Palace. When Zi Yan learned that Xiao Yan was going to search for the Soul Infant Fruit, she volunteered to accompany him. The Gu Clan also heard the news of the unexplained opening of the ancient ruins, and Xun Er requested her father's permission to investigate.
Xun Er's father didn't agree but instead entrusted her with the Ancient Void Dragon Flame of the Gu Clan, instructing her to cultivate and prepare for the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony and bloodline awakening. Xiao Yan and Zi Yan arrived outside the entrance of the ancient ruins, where Zi Yan sensed her father's presence. Many sects had already gathered there, waiting to find the entrance and explore for treasures. Elder Fei from the Wind Thunder Pavilion and Bing He Gu Zhu were particularly active. Xiao Yan decided to wait for the right moment to take action.
At night, Elder Fei secretly opened the gate of the ancient ruins, and Bing He Gu Zhu followed closely behind. The two argued about how to enter, giving Xiao Yan and Zi Yan an opportunity to enter the ancient ruins ahead of them.
Inside the ancient ruins, there was a hidden paradise with beautiful scenery. They quickly found the Soul Infant Fruit, but they couldn't retrieve it no matter what they tried. In the end, it was Zi Yan's emotional plea that convinced the fruit to be collected.
Zi Yan handed the fruit to Xiao Yan but noticed her father's traces and hurriedly followed after him. They discovered the ancestral mark of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and Zi Yan effortlessly opened the seal. A black-robed old man appeared, who turned out to be Hei Qing, a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. He had been guarding the Dragon Emperor's Origin Fruit here since the Ancient Void Dragon fell and transformed into the fruit. Hei Qing recognized Zi Yan as a dragoness of the dragon clan and respectfully requested her return to the dragon clan.
At this moment, the esteemed elders of the Soul Palace had also arrived at the ancient ruins. Zi Yan declared that she would definitely fight against the Soul Palace alongside Xiao Yan. The martial artists from various sects had gathered at the heart of the ancient ruins. Amidst the chaos, an unknown number of Tianjie combat skills suddenly fell from the sky. The fighters from different races and sects immediately rushed forward, competing and fighting over them.
Xiao Yan suddenly realized that Zi Yan was missing and hurriedly followed. He discovered that the esteemed elder of the Soul Palace had already engaged in a battle with Zi Yan. Xiao Yan recited the mantra of the Flame Incinerating Swallowing Wave, wielding the heavy Profound Heavy Iron to confront the enemy. The esteemed elder of the Soul Palace was overwhelmed by a burst of black smoke. Xiao Yan and Zi Yan continued their journey and reached the mountaintop, where they encountered an old man with white hair.
Seeing the crowd fighting over the combat skills that fell from the sky, and a large bell descending from above absorbing their fighting spirit, Zi Yan believed that the old man was behind it. She threw a punch at him, but the old man remained unfazed, stating that the problem lay not with him but with the people themselves trapped in their own obsessions and inner demons. He explained that he had already perished, so what could Zi Yan possibly do to him? Xiao Yan urged him to quickly release the formation and prevent these people from being trapped in illusions, allowing the Soul Palace to take advantage. However, the old man shook his head, stating that the formation was set up by himself during his lifetime and could only be broken by someone he knew.
Xiao Yan was about to ask who the person he referred to as "someone he knew" was when the esteemed elder of the Soul Palace attacked once again. Xiao Yan fiercely fought back and managed to drive away the esteemed elder. The old man then led Xiao Yan to a secret chamber and revealed that he was a member of the Spirit Clan, one of the eight ancient clans. He and Xiao Xuan had a close relationship, and due to his attachment, he set up this formation and became trapped here. He simply wished to see Xiao Xuan once again.
