Small Actions

In the Soul Realm, there existed a Courtyard, an ancient one that seemed to have existed since the primordial era.

The Courtyard was surrounded by ancient relics, constructed with long-extinct wood. Despite its age, this Courtyard was considered the supreme sacred ground in the hearts of the Soul Clan.

The power permeating the Courtyard could suppress everything; it was inviolable, and all beings had to prostrate themselves before it.

This was the Soul Courtyard, the residence of the Soul Clan's Dou Di, Soul Di, and now the office and residence of successive Soul Clan leaders. It was the equivalent of the Soul Clan's imperial court, the highest symbol of the Soul Realm.

"Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan?"

A man in white stood by the fish pond in the middle of the Courtyard, scattering fish food with his left hand. The Koi Fish in the pond competed for the food. These Koi Fish were ordinary ornamental fish, not divine beasts with special bloodlines.

From a distance, it looked like he was just feeding the fish, and in fact, he was.

Hun Xuzi nodded, never daring to privately keep the Tuoshe Ancient Jade, because the man before him was comparable to the heavens.

Hun Tiandi, the Soul Clan leader, was the only one in the Soul Clan who had cultivated the Emperor Soul Incantation to perfection, his Soul Realm surpassing the Heaven Realm Great Perfection and reaching the Emperor Realm! After finishing the feed, Hun Tiandi played with the Tuoshe Ancient Jade in his hand, sensing a familiar aura from it.

"After all this time, this Ancient Jade has finally fallen into my hands. If Xiao Xuan had been willing to help me back then, perhaps things would be different today." Hun Tiandi stared at the pond, lost in thought.

Back then, the Soul Clan wanted to destroy the Xiao Clan not only because the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline was the most depleted among all the Dou Di families, but also because Xiao Xuan's strength made Hun Tiandi uneasy.

The reason for the Xiao Clan's severe bloodline depletion was simple: the Xiao Clan's Dou Di had become Emperor the longest, so their Dou Di Bloodline was naturally the most depleted.

Legend had it that the Xiao Clan's Dou Di was the first Dou Di of the Dou Qi Continent, making the Xiao Clan's bloodline the oldest, and thus the first to deplete.

Slowly shaking his head, Hun Tiandi casually tossed the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Jade into the pond with a splash.

"Clan Leader! Is that Ancient Jade fake?" Hun Xuzi was shocked to see Hun Tiandi throw the Ancient Jade into the water.

Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said with a warm smile, "No, it's real."

"But as that Xiao Clan boy said, incomplete Ancient Jade is as useless as stones on the roadside. My clan's Tuoshe Ancient Jade is also in this pond."

Upon closer inspection, one would find various pebbles scattered at the bottom of the pond, two of which were different, made of jade.

One of them was covered in moss, having been in the pond for quite some time.

Hun Xuzi swallowed hard. That was the Tuoshe Ancient Jade! And it was just placed there? Although it was incredibly safe in this Courtyard, it was still too casual, using it as a pebble in the fish pond!

"Pass down my order to accelerate the collection of Soul Bodies to help Void Swallowing Flame refine the Emperor Soul Incantation to Great Perfection and elevate the Soul Realm to the Emperor Realm!" Hun Tiandi waved his hand, and a Soul power covering the entire Soul Realm emanated from the Courtyard.

With a gentle smile, Hun Tiandi's eyes flashed with a cruel light as he said, "Incomplete Ancient Jade is meaningless, so let's complete it. Spirit Clan, Stone Clan, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me."

...

The news of Xun Er's departure had spread, and the eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame had closed the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower. Most people were idle, and a sense of unease spread through the Inner Academy.

"Sigh, the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower has been closed for a day. The Great Elder and others are still inside, I wonder what's going on."

"Yeah, what's happening?"

"I don't know, will they stop letting us into the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower in the future?"

"No way!"

Countless Inner Academy students eagerly stared in the direction of the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower.

...

Meanwhile, in his room, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, adjusting his breathing. Thanks to the Tong Xuan Elder's power, Xiao Yan's injuries from the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations had healed, but Xiao Yan needed to adjust his inner state.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes, and the girl's moving smile appeared in his mind, deeply engraved in his memory.

When Xun Er was by his side, he hadn't felt this way, but now that Xun Er had left, that feeling crawled out from the depths of his memory, like a tangled mess, wrapped around his heart.

After a while, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled and opened his eyes. His eyes had regained their usual calmness, but Xun Er's departure had made him less gentle.

"Now that I'm already a Dou Wang, it's time to leave this Inner Academy." Xun Er had left the Inner Academy, and Xiao Yan had no more attachments. Now, only one thing remained to be done.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked in the direction of the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower. He hadn't forgotten his purpose in coming to Canaan Academy.

Miao wu~! Mao Wu jumped out of the void, gently scratching Xiao Yan's cheek with its small paws.

"Okay, let's begin."

Miao! (Received) Mao Wu made a salute and disappeared after tearing through the void.

Xiao Yan turned to look at the Medusa Queen sitting cross-legged on the Azure Lotus and smiled, "Your Majesty the Queen, it's time to wake up. Whether you can obtain a Strange Flame body depends on today."

Slowly, the Medusa Queen sitting cross-legged on the Azure Lotus opened her eyes. When she gently opened her eyes, it was like a dream. Those beautiful eyes were captivating, with a hint of languor from just waking up.

If someone with a weaker will were to see those beautiful eyes, they would probably have their Soul snatched away, or even have their minds controlled by Medusa.

"Don't try to seduce me like that, I don't have much willpower." Xiao Yan smiled, but his eyes were so clear, not bewitched by Medusa's naturally charming allure. Even if Medusa possessed captivating beauty and a mesmerizing figure, it had no effect on the current Xiao Yan.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was not affected in the slightest, Medusa glanced aside, those clear eyes she had never seen on other men.

"Since I promised you, I will help. But my current body has only recovered to the Sixth Order. Even if my bloodline evolution is complete, the strength I can exert is only around a one-star to two-star Dou Zong." Medusa gently tossed her beautiful hair, slowly rising from the Azure Lotus, her jade feet stepping into the void.

"We are not the main force either. Canaan Academy's foundation can't be just that little. We will just wait and see what happens." Xiao Yan looked towards the direction of the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower, at this moment he already had a complete plan in his heart.

...

At this time, in Maple City in the Black-Corner Region, Han Feng's eyes instantly turned sharp after hearing his subordinate's report.

"Really?"

"Yes, according to the news from the Inner Academy's informants, a large-scale riot occurred in the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower more than half a day ago. *Great Elder Su Qian and all the elders have entered the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower*, and have sealed it off, and have not come out until now."

Han Feng suddenly stood up, a ball of blue flame erupting from his body, and said in a deep voice: "Good! It's finally here! I've been waiting for this moment for so long!"

If the Fallen Heart Flame was always trapped, even if Han Feng was a Sixth Grade peak Alchemist who could mobilize the powerhouses of the entire Black-Corner Region, he would not be able to forcibly seize it from Canaan Academy.

But if the Fallen Heart Flame erupted, then Canaan Academy would be attacked from both sides, and then he would have a chance to take away the Fallen Heart Flame.

Such an opportunity may only come once! Generally speaking, no one would want to provoke Canaan Academy, but when a certain level of profit is reached, people will risk their lives to gamble, and a Strange Flame is worth the gamble.

"Han Beng!" Suddenly turning around, the man shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as the voice fell, a ghost-like figure flashed out, and finally appeared in the bamboo house, kneeling on one knee, his voice hoarse but respectful: "What are your orders, Master?"

"Take these tokens, notify the Earth Flame Sect, the Eight Gates, the Skull Tomb, and have their Sect Leaders arrive at Maple City within two hours. I have something I need their help with. Also, send these two tokens to that place yourself, and invite the first and second ranked gentlemen on the Black Ranking List to come as well, and tell them that Han Feng has something to ask of them, and the reward is a Sect Breakthrough Pill." The man casually waved several strangely shaped tokens, throwing them to the figure kneeling on the ground, who quickly caught them like lightning. Just as he put them into his Storage Ring, two more tokens, one gold and one silver, shot over.

Receiving these somewhat special gold and silver tokens with both hands, the figure who had been expressionless all along, his face slightly moved, and he said in a low voice: "Sect Breakthrough Pill! I believe the Gold Silver Two Elders will not refuse."

Watching the black shadow disappear, Han Feng slowly exhaled, his eyes filled with heat.

The three parties surged!

...

At this time, at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower, the Great Elder and all the elders were forming seals to suppress it. Although the Fallen Heart Flame was indeed powerful, the seal of a Dou Zun was not so easily broken. The two sides confronted each other for a day and a night, and neither could do anything to the other.

"Great Elder! This eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame is much more powerful than before. I'm afraid that if this continues, one day the eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame will be unstoppable!"

*Great Elder Su Qian looked solemnly at the Fallen Heart Flame* impacting the seal. Now they were just taking expedient measures, which were fundamentally treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

The Fallen Heart Flame could theoretically continue to grow. Once it absorbed enough geothermal energy, it would probably be unstoppable, and the entire Inner Academy would be a purgatory! "Suppress the Fallen Heart Flame first!"

"Yes!"

...

And at this moment, in a corner of the tenth floor of the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower, the space slowly twisted, and a small cat's paw stretched out from the void.

With a clang, several sharp claws extended from the cat's paw, but these claws were not fingernails but black flames.

The cat's paw flicked a bit of Black Flame, and that little bit of Black Flame floated up slowly like a spark, and finally floated to the seal.

Just like a flame touching a tissue, a tiny hole appeared in the solid seal!
