Several days later.
Li the Eccentric died suddenly and inexplicably.
The Earth Fire Palace had plundered the Starry Sky Sect and then emerged victorious.
...
In Da Qian.
Seven hundred li southeast of the capital city, there was a stretch of continuous peaks.
In the midst of these mountains stood a peak hundreds of zhang tall, surrounded by clouds at its waist, known as White Cloud Peak.
On this day.
The peak's summit flickered with spiritual light, and over a thousand figures burst forth from the ground, led by none other than Zhou Yi.
More than three thousand disciples of the Earth Fire Palace, many with families or nostalgic for their ancestral land, were unwilling to relocate to the Nine Continents; the sect did not force them, instead leaving behind some spiritual objects for their cultivation.
"The grand calamity has come, testing the hearts of us cultivators all the more. Meet others with warmth and confront challenges with openness!"
