After Spirit Hall's army retreated, Zhao Xuan inspected the Tang Sect's newly developed firearms and learned how the sect had grown during his absence. Yang Wudi then described three suspicious disasters, and Zhao Xuan reacted sharply when he heard the last had occurred in Sunset Forest.

• Zhao Xuan examined and test-fired the Tang Sect's firearm, then said it would become standard equipment for outer disciples.

After learning that a mysterious fire had devastated part of Sunset Forest, Zhao Xuan suspected it was connected to the enormous abyss he had found there and went to investigate.

Zhao Xuan, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape crossed a scorched wasteland in Sunset Forest to find the source of the extraordinary fire. At the edge of a vast magma-filled abyss, Zhao Xuan detected something hidden at its center and prepared to probe it with lightning.

• Zhao Xuan and the Sky Azure Bull Python set out with the Titan Giant Ape, finding more and stronger Spirit Beasts in Sunset Forest before the two beasts drove them away with their pressure.
• Zhao Xuan led the group into a lifeless expanse of blackened earth and ash, where no greenery remained and even Spirit Beast corpses had been burned beyond recognition.

• Zhao Xuan flew over the magma lake and unleashed lightning toward the hidden center.
