While Ye Tian remained beneath the magma searching for the young Falling Heart Flame, Xiao Yan returned to Jia Nan Academy, graduated, and accepted a nominal elder position.

At Jia Nan Academy, Su Qian explained why its ancient elders would not intervene in the Black Corner Region, while Ye Tian’s allies decided to wait for him. In the Chaos Tower, Ye Tian crafted six Space Rings, then discovered Xuan Protector’s surviving soul and killed him, uncovering the Soul Hall’s stockpile of captured Soul Origin Energy.

• Su Qian told Xiao Yi Xian, Ya Fei, and the others that the Thousand Hundred Elders would act only during a catastrophic crisis, and they recognized that Ye Tian had already eliminated many of the Black Corner Region’s strongest hostile leaders.

Ye Tian revealed the dangers and secrets beneath Jia Nan Academy’s magma sea, including the Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion, the Flame Lizards, and the infant Falling Heart Flame. After sending Xiao Bai away to avoid alerting the trapped Dragon Emperor, Ye Tian gathered help from the Thousand Hundred Elders and prepared to descend again to hunt Flame Lizards and harvest Fire Spirit Pearls.

• More than twenty Flame Lizards attacked, and Medusa, Su Qian, and the other experts defeated them while Ye Tian collected their Fire Spirit Pearls and stored their fire-resistant hides.

Ye Tian and his companions hunted Flame Lizards in the magma before encountering powerful Dou Ancestor beasts and a nearby Dou Zun. After detecting Heavenly Fire Venerable’s signal from a hidden Space Barrier, Ye Tian revealed the secret of Yao Tianhuo, and the group approached cautiously while Medusa and Yun Yun stayed ready for a possible trap.

• Ye Tian’s group killed hundreds of Flame Lizards, rested behind his formation-enhanced Ring of Holding, and then set out to search for Heavenly Flames.
• Three powerful Flame Lizards attacked, and Ye Tian used the Sword Control Technique to kill two while Medusa, Qian Mu, and Bai Lie fought the others.
• After the group sensed a Dou Zun-level Flame Lizard nearby, they hid and avoided attracting its attention.
• Ye Tian detected the Space Barrier containing Heavenly Fire Venerable, who sent out fluctuations to request help, and led the group toward it.
• Ye Tian told the others that Yao Tianhuo was the former owner of the Falling Heart Flame, while Medusa and Yun Yun drew their weapons and warned that he might be laying a trap.

Ye Tian and the Jia Nan Academy elders met Heavenly Fire Venerable beneath the lava and claimed the newly grown Falling Heart Flame after Ye Tian exposed his plea for help. Ye Tian then offered to restore Heavenly Fire Venerable’s body if he joined the Heavenly Court, and the old Soul Body accepted.

• Ye Tian reassured Su Qian and the others that Heavenly Fire Venerable could not sense the Falling Heart Flame inside him, and the group entered the old man’s Space Barrier.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable appeared and tried to keep the infant Falling Heart Flame, but Ye Tian exposed his intentions, so he let Su Qian store it in the Fire-Gathering Pot.
• Heavenly Fire Venerable learned that Ye Tian had refined the earlier Falling Heart Flame and recounted how a backlash and a Dou Zun-level Flame Lizard had left him with only a Remnant Soul.
• Ye Tian and the elders told Heavenly Fire Venerable about the academy, the Central Plains, and the possibility of restoring his strength and reforging his body.
• Ye Tian offered to provide a suitable body within five years if Heavenly Fire Venerable joined the Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Fire Venerable accepted.

Ye Tian and the others escaped a Half-Saint-level Flame Lizard by hiding inside the Chaos Tower, where Jin Yan taught him a dangerous art for controlling it. After Ye Tian used the tower to destroy the Flame Lizards and leave the magma world, he was left badly drained and began recovering.

• Heavenly Fire Venerable joined Ye Tian’s faction and offered him four Earth-tier Dou Techniques in exchange for help obtaining a body for his resurrection.
• Ye Tian proposed that Heavenly Fire Venerable’s techniques be copied for Jia Nan Academy, and Heavenly Fire Venerable agreed; Qian Mu and Bai Lie gave him two techniques in return.
• A Half-Saint-level Flame Lizard emerged, so Ye Tian stored the elders and Heavenly Fire Venerable in his Space Ring and brought Medusa and Yun Yun into the Chaos Tower Small World.
• Jin Yan concealed the group in a dimensional space and taught Ye Tian the Tower Control Divine Art, warning that using it for more than ten breaths could damage his soul.
• Ye Tian merged his soul with the Chaos Tower’s formations, rammed the tower into both Flame Lizards, and escaped the magma world in one breath.
• Ye Tian’s soul was severely depleted, so he swallowed Spirit Nourishing Fruits and Qi Recovery Pills while Medusa, Yun Yun, and White Jade Kirin checked on him.

Ye Tian and the elders escaped the magma depths, then used his Blazing Sun Divine Fire Formation to nurture the falling heart flame in the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower. Ye Tian bound the flame to Su Qian with a soul contract, and the elders agreed to help him refine Spirit Nourishing Pills.

• Ye Tian told Su Qian, Bai Lie, Qian Mu, and the Heavenly Fire Venerable that he had destroyed the two Half-Saint-level Flame Lizards with a lifesaving measure from his master.
• Su Qian placed the falling heart flame in the tower’s center, and Ye Tian, Medusa, and Yun Yun set up and activated the Blazing Sun Divine Fire Formation to help it grow.
• The White Jade Kirin warned that the flame might develop intelligence and threaten the academy, so Ye Tian used Su Qian’s blood to form a soul contract with it.

• Ye Tian gave the Heavenly Fire Venerable a Spirit Nourishing Fruit, then told Su Qian and the other elders he would refine more fruits into pills and asked them to help withstand the pill lightning.

After resolving the Falling Heart Flame crisis, Ye Tian recovered from the strain of killing a Half-Saint Flame Lizard and arranged for the academy to reopen its cultivation tower. When Lin Xiuyai and the others came to request pills before returning to the Middle Continent, Ye Tian struck a deal that would help him locate rare Spirit Herbs.

• Ye Tian refused to ask Thunderclap Venerable for help with eighth-grade Pill Lightning, saying he could handle it himself, and Medusa and Yun Yun agreed.
• Medusa shattered the Four Symbols Array as Ye Tian and the others emerged from underground; Ye Tian explained that he had killed a Half-Saint Flame Lizard and that Flame Lizards could not survive outside magma.
• Su Qian sent the Flame Lizard corpses to the Artifact Refining Hall and assigned the elders to maintain the Red Sun Divine Fire Array and nurture the juvenile Falling Heart Flame.

• The White Jade Kirin demonstrated the Three Talents Sword Array’s powerful offense and defense, and Heavenly Fire Venerable and the others expressed interest in learning it.
• The White Jade Kirin warned that Heavenly Fire Venerable’s weakened Remnant Soul could not safely cultivate the array, while Ye Tian reassured Zi Yan that she could try it.

• At Jin Yan’s suggestion, Ye Tian combined purified Soul Origin with Spirit Nourishing Fruits to refine twelve Energy Pill Beads that strengthened the soul.

• Three days later, Zi Yan emerged from a shattered purple egg as a grown woman, and lightning descended as she fought back with the Three Talents Sword Array and True Dragon Claw.

Zi Yan survived a Heavenly Tribulation after provoking it, then revealed her Transformation Technique and returned to her child form. Ye Tian and their companions learned she was an Ancient Void Dragon and promised to help her return to Ancient Dragon Island and defeat its rebellion.
