"Now that this is settled, I'll return to the Kong Xuan Sect. Consider the favor I owed you repaid."
Sage Xuan Tong called out, his figure gradually fading until he finally vanished.
"Consider it collecting a little interest." After bidding Sage Xuan Tong farewell, Xuan Yi put away Third Heavenly Venerate's corpse.
The gap between a Dou Zun and a Dou Sheng was enormous. A peak Nine-star Dou Zun had to compress their Dou Qi to the absolute limit, then refill it. Only after repeating this process nine times could they break through to Half-Saint; only by breaking through again from Half-Saint could they become a Dou Sheng.
Fourth Heavenly Venerate was a One-turn Peak expert and had already set foot on the path toward breaking through to Half-Saint.
After dealing with the battlefield, Xuan Yi returned to Old Yao's side. "Yao Chen, we've lured out the Soul Hall people. Let's head back to the Pill Tower!"
Old Yao looked at Xiao Yan, who was treating Ye Zhong's injuries, and asked, "Are you coming with me to Central Continent, or are you going to Jia Nan Academy first?"
"Hm? Teacher, you're leaving? I'll go to Jia Nan Academy first. Things here haven't been settled yet," Xiao Yan answered.
Old Yao did not interfere with Xiao Yan's decision, merely reminding him:
"If Fallen Heart Flame proves too difficult to subdue, then give it up! An Earth Tier Intermediate Cultivation Method is enough for you to cultivate to Dou Zong. By then, you can participate in the Pill Gathering and subdue Three Thousand Burning Flame."
"Alright, got it. You can go in peace, old man!"
"..." Old Yao's fist tightened, but in the end, he did not beat Xiao Yan up. He merely sighed softly and left with Xuan Yi.
