There, Ji Dong was separated from his companions and dragged into a strange cave, where he encountered a pair of crystal-red eyes.

• The Vermilion Bird explained that a solar eclipse had inflicted Yin damage on her egg, and asked Yan to remove the cold energy with Dingsi Mingyin Spirit Fire.
• The Vermilion Bird brought the weakened phoenix egg to Yan, who sensed the opposing fire energy within it and prepared to begin.

Yan removed the harmful yin energy from Vermilion Bird’s phoenix egg, enabling the chick to hatch and strengthening Yan through the process. After naming the newborn Huo'er, Yan helped nourish her congenital weakness and continued caring for her with Vermilion Bird.

• Yan drew the yin energy and evil aura out of Vermilion Bird’s egg while Vermilion Bird used her treasures and source energy to aid him.
• The phoenix egg cracked, and Vermilion Bird’s child hatched; the newborn absorbed its shell and was named Huo'er.
• Yan sensed visitors looking for Ji Dong, carried Ji Dong out to Thunder Emperor Fury, and teleported them away with the dragon.
• Yan flew with Huo'er and returned her to Vermilion Bird, who thanked him for treating the chick’s congenital weakness.
• Yan continued nourishing Huo'er because Vermilion Bird’s bing fire energy could upset the balance in her daughter’s body.

Yan left the Di Ling Mountains with Huo'er and traveled to Heavenly Pivot City on his way to seek ruins in the Misty Swamps. There, he met Ji Dong and Radiant Heavenly Pivot, rejected Tianji's claims about fate, and drove him away.

• When Radiant Heavenly Pivot tried to persuade Yan to restore fate, Yan struck him and shattered the illusion.
