Venerable Huo Tian's cultivation has stagnated for hundreds of years. Rare opportunities like Ruo Tian are difficult to come by, making it tough to breakthrough to Refining Void, he expended his life's efforts and spent massive wealth to finally acquire a Tier Seven Fire Phoenix Demon Egg, intending to use it in cultivation to breakthrough to the next great realm.
However, it was stolen by that little thief, along with the Tier Seven Fire Phoenix Demon Egg; a precious Tier Six Nine Yang Spirit Grass, and large quantities of Tier Four and Tier Five Fire Spirit Plants — all were taken by that little thief.
The actions of that little thief completely cut off Venerable Huo Tian's path of cultivation. Without those spiritual materials to aid in cultivation, regardless of how he trains, it's absolutely impossible to take that last step in the remaining hundred years.
