When the group set out again, the Dayan Sacred Fire Dragon still expressed its dissatisfaction with Ji Dong by uttering a few cries. Both Maotai and Wuliangye were somewhat resentful that Ji Dong did not allow them to enter the battle. Fire, on the other hand, remained calm; although she had completed her evolution, she would only quietly cultivate within the Vermilion Bird Bracelet unless called upon by Ji Dong. Perhaps this was because she recognized the gap between herself and the Dayan Sacred Fire Dragon.
Yao Qianshu also sat atop the Dayan Sacred Fire Dragon's back. Among the group, only Frey, Ji Dong, Miao Miao, and Yao Qianshu had magical beast partners. Hoping that the Chrysanthemum Pig would carry him flying was out of the question, so everyone else rode on the Dayan Sacred Fire Dragon, the Purple Thunder Sky Dragon, and the Silver Wing Sea Dongqing. Because the Silver Wing Sea Dongqing was somewhat smaller, it carried only Miao Miao and Lan Bao'er.
