While Chen Cang steadily refined the Three Thousand Burning Flame, undercurrents also stirred in Sacred Pill City outside the Star Domain.
After a wait of some twenty days, Venerable Feng, Feng Xian, finally arrived at the Pill Tower.
The arrival of this powerful ally also meant that the Pill Tower's retaliation against the Soul Hall was about to begin.
Having learned Yao Chen's exact whereabouts, Venerable Feng was even more excited than Xuan Yi and desperately wanted to set off.
Unfortunately, Chen Cang was still trapped within the Star Domain, and the outcome of his struggle against the Three Thousand Burning Flame remained uncertain. Even though Xiao Yi Xian explicitly stated that Chen Cang had gained the upper hand, the Three Giants maintained their strict defenses, strengthening the Star Domain's stability again and again to prevent the worst from happening.
Seeing how cautious they were, Xiao Yi Xian could only give up trying to persuade them. After explaining matters to Queen Medusa and the other women, she set off alone for the Ancient Tomb whose location Chen Cang had told her.
Meanwhile, after more than a month of reinforcing the Star Domain, the Three Giants finally felt considerably more at ease. Under Feng Xian's repeated urging, Tian Leizi led a large contingent of Pill Tower experts, taking Feng Xian with him as they quietly departed for the Northwest Continent.

Following Chen Cang's arrangements, Zi Yan also prepared to return to Dragon Island with Hei Qing to cultivate. Refining the Heavenly Flame would take Chen Cang at least half a year, and she could not afford to waste that time.
Dragon Island's abundant resources would be enough to raise Zi Yan's strength to the peak seventh tier.
Zi Yan had no objection to this.
