As the Pill Tower prepared to assess him, rumors of his talent stirred the city and drew the attention of the Cao Clan’s Ying Er.

• Yao Yan tested the now dark-gold Heavenly Demon Puppet, then read the Supreme Profound Scripture and realized it directly cultivated the soul body.
• Yao Yan began practicing the scripture, and a figure identical to him drifted from between his brows and started absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

After consulting Hun Xuzi, he gained the Soul Clan’s support for his plans and learned that he had only a few years to reach Dou Zun before the Hun Clan’s Bloodline Baptism.

• Yao Yan told Heavenly Fire Venerable that he would approach the Void Ancient Dragon Clan as a Rank 8 Alchemist without revealing Zi Yan’s identity, then sent Zi Yan and Heavenly Fire Venerable to Starfall Pavilion.

Yao Yan refined a Yin-Yang Dragon Phoenix Pill that manifested as a powerful Dragon Phoenix Cub, drawing the interest of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. He offered the pill to Zhu Li in exchange for help finding his younger sister, Zi Yan, and Zhu Li agreed to investigate her Royal Bloodline and transfer the pill’s Bloodline Power to her if she was truly a clan member.
