Episode 26 recap: Xiao Yan awakened Yao Chen Hun Mie Sheng with the Soul Infant Fruit and launched an attack on the Falling Star Pavilion.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Spirit Clan's Fighting Saint couldn't help but sigh. He mentioned that Xiao Xuan had fallen while sealing Hun Tian Di, and he entrusted his belongings to Xiao Yan, thus resolving a matter in his heart. After speaking, he handed a cloth bundle to Xiao Yan and disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Yan met with Zi Yan, but the venerable elder from the Soul Hall continued to pursue them relentlessly. Xiao Yan once again fought off the elder and witnessed the elder's disheveled return. Hun Mie Sheng believed it was time for him to meet Xiao Yan in person. Xiao Yan returned to the Falling Star Pavilion with the cloth bundle and, out of curiosity, opened it to find the remains of the elder. Upon hearing the clash between Xiao Yan and the elder from the Soul Hall, Xiao Yi Xian furrowed her brows. She wondered who else could activate the level of the elder from the Soul Hall, aside from Hun Mie Sheng.
Xiao Yan couldn't understand why the Spirit Clan's Fighting Saint had entrusted the remains to him. Feng Xian concluded that there must be a reason behind it and instructed Xiao Yan to burn the remains with the help of his different fires to see what would happen. As Xiao Yan burned the remains with his different fires, a few lines of text appeared: "Two woods appear together, nine stars become one, demonic fire descends."
Feng Xian was shocked after reading it. It clearly indicated that the next target of the Soul Hall was the third-ranked Jing Lian Yao Huo, an extremely terrifying force. Furthermore, upon further investigation, Feng Xian and Xiao Yan discovered the map of Jing Lian Yao Huo.
Now that Xiao Yan had retrieved the remains, Hun Mie Sheng would not give up easily. He would definitely chase after them to the Falling Star Pavilion to reclaim the map. Therefore, Xiao Yan had limited time and needed to quickly restore Yao Chen's vitality using the Soul Infant Fruit. Feng Xian took out the treasure of the Falling Star Pavilion, the Black Magic Cauldron, which Yao Chen had deliberately brought back. Xiao Yan had to gradually infuse his three different fires into the cauldron to successfully refine the Soul Infant Fruit.
Feng Xian instructed Xiao Yan not to interfere with anything happening outside, even if the sky were to collapse. He assured them that he and Mu Qing Luan would handle everything. So, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen sat facing each other, following Feng Xian's instructions, and began the healing process for Yao Chen.
Xiao Yan had been with Yao Chen for two days and two nights, but there was no news whatsoever. People outside anxiously awaited updates, particularly Xiao Yi Xian, who was deeply concerned about Xiao Yan's safety. However, Feng Xian reassured everyone that no news was good news.
Disciples outside rushed in anxiously to report that a large number of people had arrived and the alarm bell of the Falling Star Pavilion had been ringing continuously, indicating that the visitors were hostile.
As expected by Feng Xian, the Falling Star Pavilion was now surrounded by dark clouds. Hun Mie Sheng, accompanied by the venerable elder from the Soul Hall, had launched a full-scale attack on the Falling Star Pavilion. Feng Xian ordered his eldest disciple, Mu Qing Luan, to lead all the disciples back to the Battle Skill Hall, while he himself fearlessly confronted Hun Mie Sheng, disregarding his own safety.
Upon seeing Hun Mie Sheng alive, Feng Xian's old grudges resurfaced, and he rushed towards Hun Mie Sheng without hesitation. However, Hun Mie Sheng was even more arrogant and dominant now, and Feng Xian clearly couldn't gain the upper hand. Meanwhile, Mu Qing Luan and Xiao Yi Xian set up a formation to protect the Battle Skill Hall, but they were gradually becoming overwhelmed and showing signs of defeat.
At the last moment, Xiao Yan finally successfully refined the Soul Infant Fruit. He injected it into Yao Chen's body, and Yao Chen suddenly gasped for breath as if awakening from a deep sleep. Xiao Yan was overjoyed upon witnessing this and knew that the situation outside was extremely critical. He hurriedly rushed out and quickly took control of the situation. Learning that Feng Xian was engaged in a fierce battle with Hun Mie Sheng in the forest, Xiao Yan grabbed the heavy Xuanzhong Iron and rushed over. Hun Mie Sheng was tormenting Feng Xian with his Soul Chains, but Xiao Yan intervened, cutting off the chains and rescuing Feng Xian. However, Xiao Yan soon realized that he was no match for Hun Mie Sheng, who expressed slight disappointment, stating that he wanted to witness the disciple of Yao Chen becoming powerful, as it would give him a sense of accomplishment to kill him.
Hun Mie Sheng decided to spare Xiao Yan's life but intended to harm Feng Xian. Just then, Yao Chen arrived in time. Having reached the level of a fighting saint, Yao Chen easily defeated Hun Mie Sheng, who was only a half-saint. Yao Chen listed Hun Mie Sheng's crimes and was determined to settle the score with him. However, Hun Mie Sheng took advantage of everyone's distraction and managed to escape.
Xun Er had been diligently cultivating and received praise from her father. Her coming-of-age ceremony, when she turned eighteen, was approaching next month. At Xun Er's request, her father agreed to invite Xiao Yan to attend the ceremony. Yao Chen personally handed the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to Xiao Yan, urging him not to refuse and to cultivate it well because he would need it to counter Hun Mie Sheng's Demonic Fire of Nothingness. However, Hun Mie Sheng had not fully activated the second-ranked Demonic Fire of Nothingness, and he intended to acquire the Jing Lian Yao Huo to catalyze its activation.
