Hearing Chang Wei's words, Zhang Po also fell silent, and the atmosphere became frozen and sorrowful.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Po said to Chang Wei, "If he leaves, we must find a way to escape."

"What?" Chang Wei was shocked.

"Aren't we supposed to find a way to avenge Xiao Yifei?" Chang Wei couldn't understand Zhang Po's suggestion, thinking such an act of fleeing without avenging was no different from being a coward.

"The Xiao Family currently has five or six strong individuals above the Golden Elixir Stage, plus they have the guardian Holy Beast, the Sunflame Qilin. With just our current strength, how can we avenge Xiao Yifei? Moreover, belonging to the Seven Ancient Clans, how can we just randomly start a war with the Xiao Family?"

Chang Wei was left speechless by Zhang Po's words.

Zhang Po paused and continued, "Besides, your Chang Family's strength has been completely exhausted by your deceased father. Now, you alone are the legitimate heir of the Chang Family. Our Zhang Family's situation is also bleak; many strong individuals have lost their fighting ability due to alien schemes. Do you think, with our current strength, we are fit to wage war with the Xiao Family, who are at the peak of their power?"

"Then is the death of Xiao Yifei to be left like this?" Chang Wei's eyes were already wet with tears. After many days of fighting side by side, and now, with Chang Wei being alone without kin, he had developed a familial dependence on Xiao Yifei and Zhang Po. Xiao Yifei's death pained him immensely.

"Xiao Yifei saved my clansmen, he showed me kindness, and during our days of cultivation together, we've formed a bond of friendship. I naturally will not let the Xiao Family's treachery go unpunished. Precisely because Xiao Yifei could die here that we must not act recklessly, otherwise, we will only follow Xiao Yifei's fate, something he wouldn't wish to see."

"Then what should we do?"

"We must become stronger, stronger than others, and strengthen our own families. Only then can we deal with the Xiao Family." A trace of ferocity flashed in Zhang Po's eyes; the actions of the Xiao Family had tarnished the name of the Seven Ancient Clans. Until this vendetta is settled, there is no peace for us.

"A gentleman's revenge, ten years are not too late!" Chang Wei, after hearing Zhang Po's advice, came to a sudden realization.

"Indeed, ten years are not too late!"

After this conversation, Zhang Po and Chang Wei had a preliminary plan. Now, they could only hope for Xiao Yifei's safe return, which would be the best outcome.

If Xiao Yifei encountered misfortune, they decided to temporarily lay low, spending time enhancing their strength, determined to avenge Xiao Yifei and eliminate the despicable members of the Xiao Family.

Meanwhile, after deliberations, the Xiao Family also decided on strategies to counter in the final and how to deal with the descendants of the Seven Ancient Clans, including Zhang Po.

Participants who advanced to the finals also began gearing up, preparing for the upcoming 'Martial Artist Conference' final in three days.

The atmosphere within the Xiao Family gatherings suddenly became tense and urgent. Everyone, whether from the Xiao Family, the competitors, or Zhang Po and Chang Wei, had their own thoughts, waiting for the day of the final to arrive.

Within the Holy Mountain, the surface of the Magma Pool bubbled with purple-red fire bubbles, and the molten lava kept surging. Upon closer inspection, you would find that in the center of the pool, a small vortex was swirling, stirring the surrounding magma continuously.

Beneath the vortex, a radiant golden skeleton floated in the upper layer of the Magma Pool. This skeleton was entirely golden, giving a sense of a Buddha's golden body. The magma in the pool couldn't affect this skeleton, and at the junction of the magma and the bone, a faint purple halo emitted.

Upon close observation, you'd notice that the magma touching the skeleton was absorbed by the latter. As the absorbed quantity of magma increased, the skeleton's golden glow became more intense, even overshadowing the magnificence of the Magma Pool.

Below the skeleton was the lower layer of the Magma Pool, where the magma was purple-black. In this purple-black magma, a perfectly round sphere floated within, enveloped in a thick bluish-green halo. Although the moment purple-black magma touched its surface, it would extinguish, an unending supply of green Energy continued to replenish it.

The sphere, under the protection of the blue Energy, avoided erosion by the purple-black lava and was forged to become completely transparent and luminous. Through the sphere, one could see the abundant Energy surging inside, like a black hole in the universe, absorbing all the surrounding Qi.

And Xiao Yifei's consciousness was within this sphere. At this time, Xiao Yifei had entered a state of meditation like an old monk. Due to the intensity of the lava's corrosiveness, Xiao Yifei could not distract himself to control the Qi in his Dantian to reconstruct his physical body. The latter, after simply creating a strand of muscular fiber for Xiao Yifei, focused all its efforts on resisting the purple-black lava's attack.

Yet Xiao Yifei was not in haste to rapidly form his physical body, cautiously feeling the sensation brought by absorbing the Wood Attribute Qi from the magma. This feeling was something he had never experienced while cultivating under the rising sun. Initially focused on controlling physical body recovery, he hadn't noticed this sensation.

However, as this sensation gradually intensified, Xiao Yifei sensed something peculiar. Although maintaining this state meant restoring his physical body was only a matter of time, the storage capacity and strength of his Dantian remained stagnated at the initial level.

After all, a destroyed physical body could be reconstructed through self-healing abilities, but if the Dantian was destroyed, the thoughts and consciousness stored within would perish too. Enhancing the Dantian was far more challenging than reconstructing the physical body.

When Xiao Yifei was racking his brains on how to enhance the strength of his Dantian, suddenly, he got this feeling. The Wood Attribute Qi in this Magma Pool, after being squeezed and refined by the Purple Flames, became extraordinarily pure. Not only that, the Wood Attribute Qi also contained a hint of Fire Attribute sensation.

This Fiery Qi not only made the Wood Attribute Qi in his Dantian pure but also refined his Dantian to an unprecedented level in both capacity and strength.

Considering Xiao Yifei was already at the peak of the Golden Elixir Stage before entering the Magma Pool, after continuous tempering by the magma, at this moment, the capacity and strength of his Dantian had surpassed those of a Golden Elixir Stage martial artist.

Feeling these changes, Xiao Yifei was thrilled and no longer rushed to enhance the physical body but gave his Dantian more time to be tempered. In this state, the Qi in the Dantian could easily withstand the invasion of purple lava. Then, reconstructing his physical body would be a trivial matter.

"This Magma Pool indeed is a good place. As long as you can withstand the heat and ensure your survival here, the benefits are immense," Xiao Yifei rejoiced secretly in meditation.

With this thought, Xiao Yifei simply removed all protections over his Dantian, exposing it entirely in the lower layer of the Magma Pool.

In an instant, a surge of scorching fiery Qi, mixed with destructiveness, enveloped Xiao Yifei's Dantian, which began to disintegrate due to the lack of protective measures. Xiao Yifei, caught in this, naturally felt immense pain, only feeling himself as if being tempered by the fires of hell, like being burned in the flames of Hell.
