Chapter 1233: The Obedient Fallen Heart Flame_1

"Xu Ran, what is happening here?"

Zi Yan looked at the scene in horror, unable to help herself from moving closer to Xu Ran and grasped his clothes before she finally took a breath.

The sight of the sky filled with surging red flames was as if the next wave of lava would engulf them.

"Perhaps, it's that?" Xu Ran said with a smile. Even though the Tuo She Ancient Emperor was no longer present, his dwelling was still imbued with his essence, and his imperial might lingered. One could tell from the fact that his dwelling had trapped the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Emperor.

Dou Di, even just a whiff of their presence, could possess an aura of world-shattering might.

"Elder Xu Ran, Zi Yan, what are you doing here?" Su Qian hurried over. Seeing Xu Ran, he visibly relaxed. No matter what happened, as long as Xu Ran was here, nothing could go wrong.

The power of Xu Ran was enough to resolve these crises.

"Damn it. What's happening? Why has it suddenly turned out like this?" Su Qian was trembling with fear at the reaction below. Initially, it was only the Fallen Heart Flame.

But if the magma below erupted, it would definitely be beyond human power to contend with. Just like a volcanic eruption, the entire Canaan Academy would evaporate in the magma the next moment.

"It's nothing. Just some minor issues."

"Quiet down!"

Xu Ran looked ahead, his indifferent voice rolling forward, carrying an indescribable meaning for Su Qian and Zi Yan. The voice seemed to contain something beyond their comprehension, quite mysterious.

And after Xu Ran's words traveled forth, the rolling magma miraculously quieted down.

The previously agitated magma below became utterly silent.

"Even if it came, it could not trouble me, let alone this small dwelling," Xu Ran said, his gaze calm as he looked below.

"Elder Xu Ran is really powerful..." Su Qian and Zi Yan watched the scene in shock, their mouths hanging open. They couldn't imagine that just a few words from Xu Ran had silenced the world of magma that was on the verge of eruption.

Was this the demeanor of a powerful being?

If the magma had erupted, anyone in Canaan Academy who wasn't a Douhuang or a Dou Zong expert would have evaporated instantly in the high temperature.

And when the Fallen Heart Flame erupted, it was even more troublesome.

Yet Xu Ran had suppressed it so easily.

Keep in mind, the Fallen Heart Flame and this underground magma world had always been a problem for them.

Dealing with the Fallen Heart Flame alone was challenging enough, not to mention the magma that gave birth to it.

Human power might surpass the great forces of nature, but certainly not something they could achieve.

"So cool."

Zi Yan's beautiful eyes were misty as she watched the scene before her, her heartbeat quickening for a moment.

Despite the raging magma, with just a light chuckle, Xu Ran calmed the Magma World down. What kind of grandeur and strength was this?

Even though the turmoil in the Magma World was largely caused by Xu Ran himself, what had just happened could indeed make one's heart flutter.

"Come out."

Xu Ran said to the space below, and a wave of invisible Flame burst out from the magma.

Fire is born from the heart, tempering the qi and refining the bones. The Fallen Heart Flame, known as a "cultivation cheat," could speed up cultivation. Once successfully refined, the Fallen Heart Flame would continuously produce a kind of heart fire within one's body, and this heart fire would endlessly temper the Dou Qi within the body day and night, every moment. It was as if one's body was constantly in a state of cultivation, and this state was even more effective than normal cultivation. Naturally, this kind of cultivation would far surpass ordinary cultivation, which is why it was called a cultivation cheat.

Beyond that, the Fallen Heart Flame could also influence the mind. The Fallen Heart Flame could cause opponents to become distracted in battle, trying to suppress the heart fire, and those with lower strength could spontaneously combust.

As the fourteenth-ranked Strange Fire on the Continent, the Fallen Heart Flame was undoubtedly much more powerful than the Green Lotus Core Flame.

The normally proud and unrestrained Fallen Heart Flame was now obediently falling into Xu Ran's hands, and it even appeared quite subdued, showing none of the terrifying behavior associated with a Strange Fire capable of destroying heaven and earth. This left Zi Yan and Elder Su Qian continuously clicking their tongues in wonder. Why was there such a huge gap between people?

"Great Elder, I shall take this Strange Fire then. You wouldn't miss it, would you?" Xu Ran, playing with the Fallen Heart Flame in his hand, said with a smile.

"Of course not. Since Elder Xu Ran has taken a fancy to this Strange Fire, feel free to take it," Elder Su Qian said, surprised at how easily Xu Ran had subdued the Fallen Heart Flame and feeling somewhat envious.

This Strange Fire had caused him many years of headaches. At Canaan Academy, suppressing the Fallen Heart Flame was a considerable challenge. But now, that terrifying Strange Fire was behaving so docilely in Xu Ran's hands, naturally leaving him feeling somewhat disappointed.

The Fallen Heart Flame was very important to Canaan Academy. Without it, everyone's cultivation speed would decrease, and the Inner Court would lose much of its uniqueness compared to the Outer Court.

However, if the Fallen Heart Flame was subdued by Xu Ran, at least they wouldn't have to worry about its outbreaks anymore. This was also considered as removing a great concern for them.

"Elder Su Qian, rest assured. Even without this Fallen Heart Flame, the Burning Heaven Qi Refining Tower can still be used normally. There's a nascent Fallen Heart Flame under this Magma World. For the Burning Heaven Qi Refining Tower, this nascent Strange Fire is easier to control."

"Really? No wait... are you going down there?" Elder Su Qian's expression brightened instantly, excited. If a compliant Fallen Heart Flame could replace the unruly one, he would certainly wish for that.

He knew that Xu Ran wouldn't deceive him.

That Magma World, mysterious as it was to him, might be something that Xu Ran could see through at a glance.

"Mhm." Xu Ran nodded.

"Then I entrust everything to Elder Xu Ran," Su Qian bowed deeply to Xu Ran. Canaan Academy was his home, and if Xu Ran could help build it higher and solve some of its hidden dangers, Xu Ran would be his benefactor.

"Hehe, I'm going down too," Zi Yan firmly grabbed Xu Ran's arm. She knew that the core of everything Xu Ran mentioned was beneath the Magma World. Even if it wasn't to see her father, she couldn't miss it just to satisfy her own curiosity.

"Zi Yan, you're being reckless," Su Qian's face turned dark at once.

"What's there to fear? Isn't Xu Ran with us? Xu Ran said he would take me, and your word doesn't count. With Xu Ran, there's no way I'll be in danger," Zi Yan stuck out her little tongue. As long as she was by Xu Ran's side, she felt very safe. Xu Ran, this guy, could easily slay even a Dou Sheng, and knew of her father's existence; he must be one of the most powerful experts on the Continent.
