He had already completed the Magic Practitioner inheritance, and the Forbidden Sea was no longer accessible. He was unsure where to find Old Man Cao and decided to try his luck in the Array Repairer inheritance next and see if he could et Old Man Cao there.
"..."
Chen Qiu retracted his gaze from the Eight-petal Fire Lotus above the Chao Tian Sect, replenished his Spiritual Energy above the back mountain, and then led the scholar and others back to the Underground Fire Sea, prepared to use the scholar's Bloodline Entry to return to the scholar's brother.
The space within the small world was isolated from Da Xia.
It was not possible to teleport directly from the small world to the scholar's brother.
However—
As soon as they appeared over the Underground Fire Sea, they saw a gigantic eyeball almost directly in front of them, staring intently at them.
"Swoosh."
Chen Qiu almost instantaneously moved dozens of yards away into the deeper parts of the Fire Sea, squinting towards the huge demon beast in the sea of fire nearby.
It was a tiger.
A tiger that was dozens of yards in size, completely enveloped in flas, angrily looked towards them as if on the verge of attacking,
being incredibly gigantic—it was just one eyeball that was much larger than they were, appeared to possess intelligence, though it wasn't very high.
"Roar!"
The crimson giant tiger wrapped in flas stood on the flas and roared loudly, its bellow echoing throughout the Underground Fire Sea. It then charged towards Chen Qiu and the others.
"Let's go."
Chen Qiu didn't want to linger and fight; instead, he lightly tapped the scholar on the shoulder.
The next mont—
Chen Qiu and his companions disappeared on the spot.
The giant tiger that had pounced on empty air had a brief flash of confusion in its massive pupils, followed by an irritable swatting of the surrounding flowing flas with its paws, sending waves of heat bursting around like shockwaves.
Back beside the scholar's brother in Fufeng City, Chen Qiu and his companions, without much delay, continued their journey toward the Xing Dou Sect.
...
anwhile—
The Xing Dou Sect Master, who had been standing by the Fire Well with little hope, looked at the now calming Earth Fire inside and vibrated with an excited quiver in his voice.
"We've done it, we've truly done it!!!"
The Earth Fire had cald down once again.
This ant that Xing Dou Sect did not need to relocate.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiu had resolved what even their ancestor couldn't.
The Great Elder and others couldn't contain their excitent either; the significance of the Earth Fire to Xing Dou Sect was... critical!
Right then!
Chen Qiu appeared at the doorstep, led by a door-keeping disciple, and with a smile asked the Xing Dou Sect Master, "Is the problem resolved now?"
"Resolved, resolved!"
The Xing Dou Sect Master, a bit undignified in his excitent, excitedly grinned at Chen Qiu and said, "From now on, Xing Dou Sect will be your closest ally, Daoist Chen. You're welco to co to us anyti for anything Pill-related; if we can manage it, it will all be free!"
"Co this way, please; I will personally refine a Replenishing God Pill for you, Daoist Chen!"
Although he didn't know why Chen Qiu appeared outside, at the mont he couldn't care less; he was eager to share the great news with his long-deceased ancestor.
The only worry of his ancestor's life had been for Xing Dou Sect; knowing this news would surely make him too happy to shut his mouth even below in the underworld.

Enjoy new adventures from empire
It was already night.
Chen Qiu sat in the guest room, leisurely sipping the spiritual tea brought by the Great Elder, tasting quite nice. Like the spiritual wine, the tea carried a mild Spiritual Energy which spread coolly through his organs.
In the sowhat hot climate of the Endless Desert, it was just perfect.
It was now past midnight.
His nightly quota of Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills had also been credited: 499 low-grade Foundation Establishnt Cultivation Pills and 15 mid-grade Foundation Establishnt Cultivation Pills—his reward for moving up in the Fa Rankings.
By now, he noticed that the Fa Ranking had disappeared.
Seemingly, its ti had expired; it was always a temporary leaderboard before a Heavenly Dao version update, but it disappeared just when he no longer needed the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills.
Quite good.
Right then—
The visibly exhausted Xing Dou Sect Master strode into the tea room and handed a jade box to Chen Qiu with a serious expression, advising, "I have minimized the dical power to ensure that even at the peak of Foundation Establishnt, you can consu it."
"Due to the reduced potency, one pill's dical power might be insufficient."
"Here are three pills."
"First, swallow one pill and absorb all its efficacy, then move on to the next. This will ensure that you can completely withstand the power of the Replenishing God Pill."
"Okay."
Chen Qiu smiled and nodded slightly.
The Xing Dou Sect Master, grateful, gestured for Chen Qiu to sit down, and the two of them sat and chatted.
After chatting for about half an hour, Chen Qiu stood up to leave.
He then left the Xing Dou Sect and headed towards Yun City.
...
Yun City.
A small city near the Endless Desert, not one of Da Xia's 365 major cities, Chen Qiu and his companions spent the night at an inn in this city.
Fat Long and the others had already returned to their respective rooms to sleep.
Only Chen Qiu remained seated cross-legged on the bed, looking at the now empty jade box in front of him, his expression quite pensive.
Truly, fortune and disaster rely on each other; who can know their extres?
He had almost lost his life under the full-power attack of the Master of Poison Sect, but luckily, he was selecting an entry at that ti and chose the "Between Life and Death" entry in the last mont. The entry saved his life but severely damaged his Sea of Consciousness.
