Xiao Yan arrived at Burning Flame Valley with Venerable Skyfire and examined Tang Huo'er, who was suffering from the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame’s backlash and deep-rooted fire poison. He identified the Great Sun Separation Fire Body as a cause of her worsening condition and prepared to treat her, while Tang Zhen chose a method that would preserve his daughter’s modesty at the cost of some of her cultivation.

Xiao Yan refined the Separation Fire Blood Origin Pill and used it alongside the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to remove Tang Huo'er's fire poison, though her Dou Qi realm fell to six-star Dou Wang. Tang Huo'er awakened and sensed a mysterious closeness to Xiao Yan, whom she suspected had saved her.

• Xiao Yan absorbed the pill lightning with his Three Thousand Lightning Fire Body while completing the Separation Fire Blood Origin Pill.

They reached the third floor, where Xiao Yan's attention settled on the Heaven-Burning Great Hand Seal.

• Xiao Yan gave Tang Huo'er a Seventh-Grade Red Sun Spirit Recovery Pill, which restored her cultivation to the Peak Nine-Star Dou King level and strengthened her meridians.
• Xiao Yan told Tang Huo'er it was time to cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, embarrassing her; she changed the subject by offering to take him to the Dou Technique Pavilion.
• Tang Huo'er led Xiao Yan to the pavilion, where three elders opened it and explained that he could study its techniques inside but could not take or copy them.
• Tang Huo'er guided Xiao Yan to the third floor, which held the valley's most valuable Earth Tier and higher techniques.
• Xiao Yan examined the collection and focused on the Heaven-Burning Great Hand Seal, a mid-tier Heaven Tier Dou Technique.

Xiao Yan received the Heaven-Burning Great Hand Seal scroll from Tang Zhen and awakened the remnant image of Burning Flame Ancestor within it. After learning about the Xiao Clan’s ruin at the hands of the Soul Clan, Burning Flame Ancestor offered to pass on methods he had left behind.

• While waiting for Tang Zhen, Xiao Yan studied three Earth Tier Dou Techniques and considered how to combine their strengths with his existing skills.
• Tang Zhen removed the barrier protecting the Heaven-Burning Great Hand Seal and gave the scroll to Xiao Yan.
• The scroll drew Xiao Yan into a fiery world, where he met the remnant image of Burning Flame Ancestor.
• Burning Flame Ancestor questioned Xiao Yan about the Xiao Clan and Burning Flame Valley, and Xiao Yan recounted the Soul Clan’s persecution of his family.
• Furious to hear how the Soul Clan had nearly destroyed the Xiao Clan, Burning Flame Ancestor calmed down and offered Xiao Yan methods he had saved for Xiao Xuan’s descendants.

Xiao Yan met Burning Flame Ancestor in the Dou Technique Pavilion and received three inheritances left by Xiao Xuan: the complete Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, the Capital Heaven Profound Fire Art, and the dangerous Emperor Blood Battle-Nurturing Art. Burning Flame Ancestor departed after entrusting him with Xiao Xuan’s legacy, and Xiao Yan told Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er about their ancestors’ friendship, strengthening the bond between the Xiao Clan and Burning Flame Valley.

• Burning Flame Ancestor revealed that Xiao Xuan had left three gifts for a worthy descendant of the Xiao Clan.
• Burning Flame Ancestor gave Xiao Yan the complete Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations and explained that his depleted bloodline currently prevented him from forming a Clan Mark.
• Burning Flame Ancestor passed Xiao Yan the Capital Heaven Profound Fire Art, saying Xiao Yan’s flames, soul, and body made him well suited to cultivate it.
• Burning Flame Ancestor warned Xiao Yan that the Emperor Blood Battle-Nurturing Art could deplete his bloodline and endanger his life, but Xiao Yan absorbed it eagerly.
• Burning Flame Ancestor gave Xiao Yan the Heaven-Burning Great Hand Seal’s cultivation method and experience before disappearing.
• Xiao Yan told Tang Zhen and Tang Huo'er that Burning Flame Ancestor had given him Xiao Xuan’s legacy, and Tang Zhen recognized the connection through the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations.

Xiao Yan studied Xiao Xuan’s inherited techniques and uncovered how the Xiao Clan’s bloodline secret methods worked. He successfully tested the Emperor Blood Battle-Nurturing Art, gaining a major but dangerous boost to his combat strength, and began measuring its cost in essence blood.

• Xiao Yan condensed a Clan Mark and used it to activate all three transformations of the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, raising his strength to the peak of a two-star Dou Zun.
• Xiao Yan broke through to five-star Dou Zong, then studied the high Tian class Capital Heaven Profound Fire Art and learned that its five methods could each reach the level of a high Tian class Dou Technique.
• Xiao Yan studied the Emperor Blood Battle-Nurturing Art and reasoned that Source Qi’s disappearance had prevented the Xiao Clan from refining its bloodline to the Dou Emperor level.
• Unable to refine his nearly exhausted Xiao Clan bloodline, Xiao Yan sacrificed his own essence blood and found that the method increased his combat strength by twenty percent.
• Xiao Yan experimented with the secret method and determined that he could burn his essence blood for about three minutes without damaging his foundation, while longer use risked grave injury or death.

Xiao Yan prepared Tang Huo'er to cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, reassuring her and setting up a formation to contain the dangerous heat. The cultivation began with Xiao Yan guiding the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire into her body, and Tang Huo'er cried out from the sudden burning pain.

• Tang Huo'er waited for Xiao Yan to emerge from seclusion, then reunited with him at the Dou Technique Pavilion.
• Xiao Yan said he had mastered four Burning Flame Valley dou techniques and offered to help Tang Huo'er cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body.
• Xiao Yan explained that Tang Huo'er's recovered meridians and remaining medicinal strength made this the best time to begin, and she agreed to trust him.
• Xiao Yan and Tang Huo'er returned to her courtyard, where he sealed the cultivation room with a soul barrier and formed a fire-control formation.
• Tang Huo'er removed her outer clothes, sat at the formation's center, and began circulating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body formula.
• Xiao Yan pressed the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire into Tang Huo'er's body, and she cried out as the flames began to burn her.

Xiao Yan helped Tang Huo'er cultivate the first stage of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body by tempering her with the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. Tang Huo'er successfully completed the Quenching Body, then ended up in Xiao Yan's arms while naked and bald, and he laughed at her appearance.

• Xiao Yan used the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire to temper Tang Huo'er's body as she endured the pain and circulated the Great Sun Separation Fire Body.
• After five hours, golden points of light appeared along Tang Huo'er's meridians, showing that the Quenching Body was nearing completion.
• Tang Huo'er completed the Quenching Body and gained a physique capable of contending with a fourth-tier Magical Beast without Dou Qi.
• Overjoyed, Tang Huo'er sprang toward Xiao Yan and knocked them both to the ground, where he held her in his arms.
• Tang Huo'er pleaded with Xiao Yan to stop as he grew restless, but Xiao Yan burst out laughing when he noticed her bald head.

After Tang Huo'er lost her hair while cultivating the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, Xiao Yan used his hair-growth ointment to restore it. Relieved and delighted, Tang Huo'er tore off Xiao Yan's clothes so she could admire his body in return.

• Tang Huo'er discovered she had gone bald and cried as Xiao Yan laughed at her.
• Xiao Yan comforted Tang Huo'er and promised his ointment would quickly restore her hair.
• Xiao Yan applied the ointment, and Tang Huo'er's fire-red hair grew back longer and more lustrous than before.
• Tang Huo'er thanked Xiao Yan, then tore his clothes off so she could look at him too.
• Tang Huo'er admired Xiao Yan's physique and pounced on him, running her hands over his body.
