Lin Fan discovered that his undying body and mysterious display let him gain Hard Cultivation Points when enemies killed him, and he used those points to raise his cultivation. After the battle’s survivors left, he abandoned his plan to explore alone and headed back toward the Flame Magnificence Sect, expecting a hero’s welcome.

• Lin Fan briefly considered roaming the world but turned back toward the Flame Magnificence Sect, hoping its people would welcome him as a hero.

After returning to the Flame Magnificence Sect’s temporary base, Lin Fan convinced two disciples that he was the hero who had helped destroy the war behemoth.
