• The attackers failed to kill Icicles Old Fiend, and Ye Han and the others were astonished that Saint As could wield an Innate Spirit Treasure.

• Ye Han planted himself inside an immortal-vine cocoon, combining the Star-Planting Art, the Everlasting Immortal Flower Art, and the Azure Profound Divine Palace to withstand the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s backlash.
• Ye Han suppressed successive backlash attacks, strengthening his defenses and accelerating his cultivation, though he remained wary of the cauldron’s seemingly deliberate strikes.
• Saint As and the others waited as Star Clan Cultivators and Star Beasts hid and recovered after earlier battles, leaving the area quiet for more than ten years.
• Another dozen or so years passed, and Ye Han’s immortal vine began to bear fruit as it absorbed spiritual energy through the Star-Planting Art.
