Youngster Soul Flame Venerable
If the elders outside, Hai Bo Dong, Jia Xing Tian, or even Medusa knew Xiao Yan's thoughts, they would probably strangle him.
Two years to become a high-level Dou Huang, and he still thinks it's slow???
Does he know how we made it through when we were Dou Huangs back then!
Of course, Xiao Yan's 'slow' wasn't referring to the slow improvement in cultivation, but that cultivating here only improved his cultivation level. As for Soul power and Pill Refining skills, not to mention Dou Techniques, there wouldn't be any improvement at all.
That would make him someone with only Dou Qi but no skills. Facing someone with the cheating talent of Dou Di Bloodline, it would be impossible to defeat them without diligently cultivating Dou Techniques!
Moreover, Xiao Yan hadn't forgotten that he needed to cultivate the Emperor Soul Skill. To cultivate the Emperor Soul Skill, he needed to use the power of the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire, which was hell.
Seeing Xiao Yan deep in thought, Medusa didn't say much and continued to absorb the Strange Flame's energy to quickly solidify her body.
Although Xiao Yan possessed a quasi-Heaven Rank Cultivation Method, he used the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to evolve her bloodline and temper her Soul, used the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame to strengthen her bloodline power, and now added the Fallen Heart Flame to solidify her body. If she completed such a feat and reached the Seventh Order, her bloodline power would definitely not be weaker than a Heaven Rank Cultivation Method.
"However... before leaving, there are still some things to take care of."
Then, Xiao Yan slowly opened his hand, and with a whoosh, a wisp of formless and shapeless flame emerged from his palm, slowly transforming into a lazy little snake.
Hiss hiss, the Fallen Heart Flame stuck out its tongue, as if it had just woken up, sleepily looking up at Xiao Yan, then with a smack, it coiled up and continued to sleep.
Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched violently. This guy... but Xiao Yan was also a little speechless at himself. Snakes, cats, and two fish, was he really going to become a Beast Master!
"Get up, didn't you say you had something to tell me!" Xiao Yan rubbed the Fallen Heart Flame coiled in his palm with his Soul power. When he completely refined it, the Fallen Heart Flame had told Xiao Yan through his Soul that it had something to say.
But at that time, Xiao Yan was just about to refine the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, so he postponed it. Now that he had refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and was preparing to leave the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower to return to Gama Holy City to see his father, when would it say it if not now?
Hearing Xiao Yan mention it, the Fallen Heart Flame snake suddenly raised its head, its tail bounced up, and it stood in the air, its eyes instantly becoming sharp, and then it pointed its tail at the magma.
"Hmm? You're saying there's something under this magma?" His eyes narrowed, and Xiao Yan's Soul power instantly burst out. However, this magma world was too vast, and the magma contained the energy of heaven and earth, so Soul power couldn't sense too far.
Xiao Yan's eyes flickered, and his expression changed slightly. The Fallen Heart Flame had lived in this magma world for countless years. If it said there was something good below, there might really be something hidden.
This made him somewhat tempted. Perhaps there were some unexpected things down there.
Xiao Yan licked his lips, his eyes narrowed. This time, it was worth taking a risk! Xiao Yan didn't disturb Medusa, after all, Medusa had no obligation to be Xiao Yan's fighter.
With a decision in his heart, the hesitation in Xiao Yan's eyes slowly faded away. He lowered his head, looking at the endless magma, a solemn expression sweeping across his face. He didn't know how deep this underground magma was. To go deep into it, he needed extremely strong strength, because the scorching temperature and high-intensity magma pressure below were not something ordinary experts could withstand.
According to his estimation, to dive into the bottom of this magma, he would need at least the strength of a Dou Zong. Ordinary Dou Huangs, if their Dou Qi wasn't strong enough, might face unpredictable dangers if they went down.
Of course, Xiao Yan was an exception. After all, the former local emperor was right beside him.
"Heart Flame, lead the way."
After pondering for a while above the magma, Xiao Yan waved his hand, and a black robe appeared in his hand.
Xiao Yan didn't have time to exchange for the black robe used by a Venerable. This black robe was still from a Heaven Rank Protector, but it was enough to block Spirit Realm Soul power detection!
"Soul Chasing."
Xiao Yan quickly formed a hand seal, leaving a Soul mark as a coordinate. After all, the bottom of the magma was quite blurry, the depth was unknown, the magma was quite viscous, and the area was vast. If he rushed into it randomly, who knew where he would end up to return to the surface of the magma? Perhaps rushing around would only take him further and further away from safety. With a landmark to sense, even if he encountered something wrong, Xiao Yan could quickly and accurately find the route and escape.
He put on the Soul Robe, put on the hood, and cackled. Soul Flame appeared!
With a whoosh, the Void Swallowing Flame covered the Soul Robe, and the Void Swallowing Flame was covered with a layer of Fallen Heart Flame and Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. He opened his powerful Soul perception to the maximum, which gave Xiao Yan some sense of security.
With a plop, after Xiao Yan had made all the preparations, the spiritual Fallen Heart Flame snake transformed into a swimming dragon and plunged into the magma.
Xiao Yan no longer hesitated, his body leaped, and he plunged headfirst into the viscous magma. A series of bubbles emerged, then quickly burst open, and the seemingly endless magma world fell into silence again.
Medusa glanced at the direction where Xiao Yan disappeared, but didn't say anything. Since he didn't want her help, that saved her the trouble. But Xiao Yan didn't even ask her, which made her feel a little unhappy.
At this time, the Great Elder and others outside the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower were waiting a bit bitterly.
"Why hasn't that kid come out yet?"
...
The scene changes.
After diving into the magma, the scorching temperature and pressure surged from all directions. Fortunately, Xiao Yan had refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and the dual-attribute Bone Spirit Cold Flame cooled Xiao Yan down.
Xiao Yan also used his Soul power to isolate the terrifying pressure. If ordinary people dived into the magma world, they would either be burned to death by the magma or squeezed into a meat paste by the terrifying pressure.
Xiao Yan paused slightly, carefully looking around. After finding that there were no changes, he continued to follow the Fallen Heart Flame downwards.
Although Xiao Yan had cultivated here for two months, he knew very little about this magma sea. The only thing he knew was that this seemed to be the place where the Fallen Heart Flame was born. As for whether this magma sea had anything else, he didn't know anything about it.
Of course, perhaps even Great Elder Su Qian doesn't fully understand this underground magma world beneath the Inner Academy. I'm afraid only the mysterious dean who built the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower and ultimately established Canaan Academy would know something about it.
Great Elder Su Qian and Elders Qian Bai had come down once, but after seeing the boundless magma, he turned around and left with considerable apprehension.
Even a Dou Zong at its peak, without the protection of a Strange Flame and the guidance of the Fallen Heart Flame, who would be as foolish as Xiao Yan to dive straight down?
Seeing Xiao Yan dive into the magma world, Medusa's last look contained a hint of considering him a simpleton.
Time passed, and Xiao Yan followed the Fallen Heart Flame deeper and deeper. If Xiao Yan's Burning Skill hadn't evolved to the quasi-Heaven Rank, his Dou Qi, with only the cultivation of a Dou King, would definitely not have been enough.
"Sigh, is this the so-called deep-sea fear?"
This magma world wasn't devoid of life. As Xiao Yan descended to a certain depth, he saw some creatures that were entirely red.
Their scarlet bodies were covered in red scales, and their half-zhang long red tails flicked slightly. The red figures stood upright on two feet. To put it directly, they were red lizards that could walk upright.
However, Xiao Yan ignored them. Although these fiery red lizards were quite strong, with the weakest being Dou Ling and many even Dou Wang, these magma lizards had completely degenerated eyes due to living in the magma, relying on perception to find enemies.
But Xiao Yan, possessing a Soul Robe and a Mortal Realm perfect Soul power, feared nothing more than perception. Wrapped in a Strange Flame, Xiao Yan was just a sinking flame in the eyes of these magma lizards, nothing special.
After descending for another ten minutes or so, the Fallen Heart Flame suddenly emitted an excited cry.
"Arrived?!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The constant descent without knowing the time had made him somewhat numb.
Fortunately, he had the Fallen Heart Flame little snake to guide and accompany him along the way, which calmed Xiao Yan's heart a little.
"Hmm? Is that a protective barrier?"
With a glint in his eyes, Xiao Yan's gaze suddenly turned to the transparent halo below. He saw the Fallen Heart Flame wag its tail and dart into the light barrier with a whoosh.
Hesitating for a couple of seconds, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and with a turn of his body, he followed the Fallen Heart Flame and shot down like lightning, his body passing through without any hindrance.
When Xiao Yan's figure broke through that layer of transparent light barrier, he could feel a strange Soul power fluctuation scanning his body. If Xiao Yan's Soul power wasn't extremely strong, it would have been difficult to detect this subtle Soul power fluctuation.
The instant Xiao Yan followed the Fallen Heart Flame through the light barrier, his eyes narrowed at the mysterious skeleton suspended in the center of this mysterious space!
"To be able to tear space in this kind of place? This strength is at least Dou Zun."
Although Dou Zong could already use a little Space power, to tear space and create a Space Lock-like Space barrier, it would definitely require a Dou Zun.
Ssss!!! The Fallen Heart Flame was like an excited child, rushing to the top of the skeleton's head, its tail pointing like an arrow at the side of the skeleton.
There was actually a Fallen Heart Flame there!
"Fallen Heart Flame?! A second one!" The birth of a Strange Flame was very strict, but it wasn't impossible for two of the same Strange Flame to be born.
Xiao Yan carefully examined this formless flame that resembled candlelight, and muttered, "This is an immature Fallen Heart Flame..."
This Fallen Heart Flame was worlds apart from the intelligent and fully mature Fallen Heart Flame little snake. Even if Xiao Yan refined it, it probably wouldn't improve him much.
It was probably only a little more mature than the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire when it was first born. To raise this Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan would probably need a lot of scheming.
"One gold-devouring beast is enough, this thing... let the Heart Flame swallow it or give it to the academy. If it can make Canaan Academy owe me a favor, it doesn't seem bad." He didn't feel anything wrong about taking the Fallen Heart Flame for himself.
At this moment, Xiao Yan actually understood a little of the feeling Hun Xuzi had when he looked down on the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!!!
Tasteless to eat, and not a pity to discard.
However, Xiao Yan didn't take it immediately, but instead showed a meaningful smile towards the skeleton.
"Should I say, 'Excuse me for disturbing you'?" Xiao Yan didn't use Dou Qi, but instead used Soul power to spread his voice, which could prevent him from revealing that he only had the strength of a Dou Wang.
As soon as Xiao Yan's voice fell, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted from within the skeleton. The sudden change caused Xiao Yan to frown, and a huge force quietly solidified him.
However, Xiao Yan didn't resist this force, but instead waited quietly with his hands behind his back.
It wouldn't be difficult for him to break this seal, he only needed to use Soul Skills and the Void Swallowing Flame.
The light slowly contracted, wriggled, and finally transformed into a illusory old man.
The figure wore a white robe, his beard and hair were snow-white, his face was old, and a faint gleam flickered in his plain eyes. As soon as this illusory figure appeared, it caused Xiao Yan to feel a sense of oppression that spread from the bottom of his heart.
"The Fallen Heart Flame has been subdued after all." The illusory figure glanced at Xiao Yan, then looked at the little snake swimming beside Xiao Yan, his voice filled with an unspeakable meaning.
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. He had heard the Great Elder say that the dean had discovered the Fallen Heart Flame here. He had originally planned to capture it, but seeing that the Fallen Heart Flame already possessed a bit of intelligence and that he didn't need it too much, he built the Heavenly Flame Training Gas Refining Tower.
Could it be that this Fallen Heart Flame once belonged to the person in front of him?!
The mysterious Soul Body waved his hand, and the Heart Flame little snake slowly swam to his side in a daze. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan wasn't surprised, didn't resist, and didn't shout or scream.
With the Burning Skill, Xiao Yan had absolute control over the Strange Flame.
Moreover, a Soul Body? Heh. Let you jump around for a while, and see if there's anything else.
"You don't seem to be afraid of me snatching the Fallen Heart Flame," the old man's eyes flashed with a gleam as he looked at Xiao Yan.
With the Soul Robe, he couldn't see through Xiao Yan's strength.
Xiao Yan shrugged and didn't speak.
"Don't worry, I won't snatch your Fallen Heart Flame. Strictly speaking, I am already a dead man. My Soul has been worn away over the years," the old man said indifferently, waving his hand gently, and the Fallen Heart Flame returned to Xiao Yan's side on its own.
Xiao Yan didn't believe the old man's words. After joining the Soul Palace, his understanding of Soul Bodies was also very deep, so Xiao Yan knew that the person in front of him was not a remnant Soul, but a very strong Soul Body, well preserved.
"I forgot to introduce myself. This old man is Yao Tian Huo, others sometimes call me Heavenly Flame Venerable." The white-robed old man smiled, but there was a sense of pride emanating from his bones in his smile.
"Oh." Xiao Yan's tone was neither happy nor sad. A Venerable was nothing much, he was one too.
This young master is Xiao Clan's Xiao Yan, others sometimes call me Soul Flame Venerable! Of course, his title of Venerable had a bit too much moisture in it.
