During the following half month of seclusion, pill lightning appeared over the Star Realm, and Xiong Zhan absorbed it as an Ancient Dragon Bear whose chest began to change.

• As the three prepared to explore deeper into town, Wei Yang noticed a Seven-Colored Raw Stone at a nearby stall.

• Xiao Yan haggled with a gaunt old man and traded two Three-Colored Grade 8 Pills for the Seven-Colored Raw Stone.

• Elder Yao led Wei Yang and Xiao Yan through Spatial Town toward the real trade fair.
• The three arrived at an ancient pavilion guarded by two gray-robed old men whose strength had reached Six-Star Dou Zun.

Elder Baoshan opened the Spatial Trade Fair by auctioning a pair of Heaven Demon Phoenix bone wings, which a cloaked bidder exchanged for a Four-Colored Grade 8 Pill. Wei Yang and Xiao Yan stayed out of the trade, and Elder Yao explained why the fair’s pill-based exchanges kept bidders cautious.

• Elder Baoshan welcomed the gathered experts, enclosed himself in a spatial barrier, and began the Spatial Trade Fair.
• Elder Baoshan presented Grade 8 Phoenix Wings and said their owner wanted a Four-Colored Grade 8 Pill in exchange.

• A black-robed bidder offered a jade bottle containing the requested pill, and Elder Baoshan completed the exchange after no one raised the offer.
• Elder Yao explained to Wei Yang and Xiao Yan that the fair’s pill-based valuations made participants wary of overpaying.

At the Spatial Trade Fair, Wei Yang failed to trade for the Vajra Glazed Body but acquired several treasures for Xian'er and Qing Lin. The fair continued to heat up, while the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Remnant Map had still not appeared.

• Elder Baoshan offered the Heaven Tier Low-Grade Vajra Glazed Body in exchange for a water-element cultivation technique or equivalent pills, and Wei Yang's bid of three Five-Colored Grade 8 Pills was rejected.

• Wei Yang stopped bidding as the trade fair continued displaying rare treasures and the hall's anticipation grew.
• The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Remnant Map had yet to appear.

Elder Baoshan auctioned the final remnant map connected to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, drawing fierce competition from the trade fair’s wealthy attendees. As bids climbed beyond most people’s limits, Wei Yang stepped in with an overwhelming offer, leaving the auction unresolved.

• Elder Baoshan presented the ancient remnant map and announced that its owner wanted at least six-colored pills in exchange.
• Xiao Yan recognized the map as the fourth and final piece he had sought, while Elder Yao and Wei Yang urged him to wait before bidding.
• Bidders rapidly raised their offers, pushing the price to nine Six-colored Grade 8 Pills.
• A black-robed bidder offered five Seven-colored Grade 8 Pills, and Wei Yang countered with eight Seven-colored Grade 8 Pills.

At the auction, Elder Yao and the black-robed gaunt man bid fiercely over a fragmentary map until the man offered a Nine-Colored Grade 8 Pill. Elder Yao conceded, but he and his disciples decided to obtain the map by other means and settle his old grudge with the rival.

• A bidder raised the price to one Eight-Colored Grade 8 Pill, but Elder Yao outbid him with three, then eight.
• The gaunt black-robed man used his pressure to challenge Xiao Yan and Wei Yang, and Wei Yang dispelled it with his power.

• Elder Yao recognized the rival as an old enemy and decided that they would take the fragmentary map by force instead.

At the Spatial Trade Fair, a gaunt black-robed man traded a nine-colored Grade 8 Pill for the map fragment, and Elder Baoshan announced that the Bodhi Ancient Tree had reappeared. Wei Yang recognized the news as the opportunity he had come seeking, while Xiao Yan and Elder Yao also realized its importance.

• The gaunt black-robed man gave Elder Baoshan a nine-colored Grade 8 Pill and received the map fragment, leaving Xiao Yan frustrated as Wei Yang watched.
• Elder Baoshan ended the Spatial Trade Fair’s trading and announced that the Bodhi Ancient Tree had appeared again after a thousand years.
• The hall erupted as Elder Baoshan explained the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s power to help people become Dou Saints and the value of its Bodhi Heart and Bodhi Child.
• Wei Yang revealed that he had come to the fair for news of the tree and valued enlightenment beneath it and Hundred Generations Reincarnation more than the Bodhi Heart.
• Elder Yao told Wei Yang and Xiao Yan that the tree’s return was a rare opportunity, while Wei Yang noted that the Bodhi Child in his Storage Ring had not reacted.

Elder Baoshan revealed that the Bodhi Ancient Tree would emerge in the deadly Ancient Desolate Region, and Xiao Yan, Wei Yang, and Elder Yao decided to pursue it after obtaining the final map fragment. They intercepted the fragment’s buyers, and Elder Yao explained the cruel sect behind the three old demons who had taken it.

• Elder Baoshan announced that the Bodhi Ancient Tree would appear in the Ancient Desolate Region, prompting the gathered experts to weigh the danger against the opportunity.
• Elder Yao proposed seeking the Bodhi Ancient Tree for Xiao Yan, but said they first needed the final map fragment held by a gaunt man in black robes.

• Elder Yao explained that the three old demons belonged to a sect that cultivated by draining the Dou Qi of young women kept as human cauldrons.
• Elder Yao revealed that he had once severely wounded one of the old demons but had been injured by the other two, allowing their leader to escape.

• Elder Yao unleashed his Dou Saint aura and threatened to settle their old grudges, prompting Heavenly Scorpion to raise the fragmentary map and shout for them to wait.

• Elder Yao stopped himself from intervening when Xiao Yan asked to fight Human Scorpion and test his strength.

• Human Scorpion lost focus when he heard Heavenly Scorpion and Earthly Scorpion cry out, and Xiao Yan struck him in the chest.
• Wei Yang appeared holding the lifeless bodies of Heavenly Scorpion and Earthly Scorpion by their crushed necks.

Wei Yang killed the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts and collected their corpses, souls, and Storage Rings. He left with Xiao Yan and Elder Yao before their possession of the complete Ancient Map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame attracted unwanted attention.

• Wei Yang defeated Heavenly Scorpion and Earthly Scorpion, extracted their souls, and sealed them in jade bottles.
• Human Scorpion fled into a spatial rift, but Wei Yang dragged him back with a Sky-Covering Giant Hand and crushed his Thick Earth Bell.

• Wei Yang noted the value of the three Dou Zun corpses and Spirit Realm Souls, and showed Xiao Yan the three Storage Rings.
• Elder Yao urged the group to leave before their complete Ancient Map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame drew attention, and the three departed.

After fleeing the battlefield, Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and Elder Yao assembled the four ancient map fragments, but the map revealed no clear directions or clues. Wei Yang suggested burning it with Xiao Yan’s Heavenly Flame, and its patterns began to glow as the fire failed to destroy it.

• Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and Elder Yao escaped to a secluded peak and sealed the area against intruders.
• Elder Yao gave Xiao Yan the final map fragment, and Xiao Yan assembled all four pieces into a complete ancient map.
• The three examined the map and tried Xiao Yan’s blood, but neither revealed anything beyond an ordinary landscape pattern.
• Wei Yang suggested using Xiao Yan’s Heavenly Flame, and Xiao Yan engulfed the map in purple-brown fire.
• Wei Yang and Elder Yao watched as the map resisted the flames, and its patterns began to glow under Xiao Yan’s increased firepower.

Xiao Yan, Elder Yao, and Wei Yang deciphered the Ancient Map’s clue that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame would appear in three years, leaving Xiao Yan little time to reach Dou Saint. The map’s final lotus pattern became a sphere that revealed a connection to the ancient Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.

• Xiao Yan used Heavenly Flames to reveal sixteen ancient characters describing the Heaven and Earth Tide and the Demonic Flame’s descent.
• Elder Yao calculated that the phenomenon would occur in about three years and warned Xiao Yan that he needed to reach Dou Saint to have a chance of subduing the flame.
• Wei Yang noticed the remaining demonic lotus pattern and caught it in a sphere of light before it could strike him.
• Elder Yao questioned Wei Yang to make sure an ancient expert had not seized his body, and Wei Yang reassured him that the sphere had never touched him.
• Wei Yang said the sphere had sent him the words “Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint,” and Elder Yao and Wei Yang identified the figure as the flame’s master from ten thousand years ago and the likely creator of the Ancient Map.
