TheWoWDBWait for a moment until Huo changes and reforms. As you start to exit he will appear behind you. Exit the cave and go Southeast and across the bridge. You will see a brick structure near where you battled the air elemental earlier. You will eventually find a long stone stair called the Dawning Stair (worth 10 XP for discovery) and you will take it to the top.
When you get to the top of the stairs, you will see an entrance and when you go through it you will get 45 xp for entering the Temple of the Five Dawns.
Go up one more short set of stairs and quest complete. Turn in with Master Shang Xi.

For easy reference, here is the dialogue spoken aloud at the end of the quest:
Master Shang Xi says: Welcome, Huo. The people have missed your warmth.
Master Shang Xi says: You have conquered every challenge I put before you, <name>. You have found Huo and brought him safely to the temple.
Master Shang Xi says: There is a much larger problem we face now, my students. Shen-zin Sun is in pain. If we do not act, the very land on which we stand could die, and all of us with it.
Master Shang Xi says: We need to speak to Shen-zin Su and discover how to heal it. And to do that, we need the four elemental spirits returned. Huo was the first.
Master Shang Xi says: Ji, I'd like you to go to the Dai-Lo Farmstead in search of Wugou, the spirit of earth.
Ji Firepaw says: On it!
Master Shang Xi says: Aysa, I want you to go to the Singing Pools to find Shu, the spirit of water.
Aysa Cloudsinger says: Yes master.
Master Shang Xi says: And <name>, you shall be the hand that guides us all. Speak with me for a moment before you join Aysa at the Singing Pools to the east.He then offers the next quest in the chain: The Singing Pools.
MOP Beta:
I accepted this quest and didn't see Huo following me. I left the cave anyways and traveled south-east to the Temple. If your map is undiscovered, the temple is right smack in the middle. Follow the 'Dawning Stairs' up to the temple from the north. I reached Master Shang Xi and received quest completion.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Huo, the Spirit of Fire
You are worthy of passing, <class>. Huo, the spirit of fire rests in the chamber beyond. Let him feast upon the kindling you've gathered, and use the wind to fan his flames. Doing so should endear you to him.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Singing Pools
It is crucial that we bring all of the three remaining spirits back safely. I am too old to do this myself, and for all their strengths, both Aysa and Ji are single-minded in their ideals. You possess all the qualities of a hero, and a balance that they do not. It is you that must do this.
