Blank Title

Xiao Yan felt nothing. Suddenly, his Earth Eye blurred, and he found that his surroundings had changed drastically, enveloped in a dark red magma.

However, Xiao Yan did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he felt like a fish in water, and the Green Lotus Core Flame even faintly conveyed a sense of joy.

He reached out and grabbed Xun'er, who was standing beside him. Blue flames erupted and enveloped the two of them, protecting them from the high temperature of the magma.

"I think I can sense the aura of Heavenly Flames..." Xiao Yan clicked his tongue.

Xun'er blinked and ran her hand across the blue flames. The flames did not reveal any of the wildness of the Heavenly Flames, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within Xun'er's Body did not react at all.

"Perhaps the Yan Clan and the Yao Clan have also prepared Heavenly Flames, wanting to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame?" Xun'er's eyes shone with golden light, the thick magma no longer obscuring her vision. "Hmm... it's the Fire Cloud Water Flame and a Yao Ling Fire, not far from us, should we go with them?"

"Never mind them, what I found is the Fallen Heart Flame." Xiao Yan gently tugged at Xun'er's small hand, pulling her down.

"Eh?" Xun'er exclaimed cutely, but without any doubt, and followed Xiao Yan into the depths of the magma.

"The Green Lotus Core Flame originates from the Earth's core and can control magma, creating Volcanic Eruption. However, the Fallen Heart Flame is also a high-level Heavenly Flames, capable of controlling fire-attribute World Energy, causing some interference to the Green Lotus Core Flame, so it's easy to find," Xiao Yan explained.

"Mmm!" Xun'er's lips curled up. Although Xun'er had an unimaginable level of trust in Xiao Yan, Xun'er was still very happy to see his patient response.

The two stopped communicating. The dark Crimson Lava was monotonous, and even the occasional undercurrents were easily swallowed up by the Green Lotus Core Flame, which did not affect their speed in the slightest.

"Grumble!"

Accompanied by an unsettling cry, a slightly distorted mass of magma appeared in their field of vision.

It's not just Xiao Yan who's looking for the Fallen Heart Flame; the Fallen Heart Flame is also looking for Xiao Yan.

The energy fluctuations of the Fallen Heart Flame were roughly equivalent to those of High-Level Dou Zong, around the seventh star level. In front of Mang Tianchi, it was no different from the Sea Heart Flame, and Mang Tian Chi dared not confront it in the slightest.

However, when faced with the Green Lotus Core Flame, Fallen Heart Flame not only dared to do so, but was also incredibly bold.

Both being naturally formed and naturally born Heavenly Flames, they both possess that destructive and violent aura. The Green Lotus Core Flame is extremely docile to the two people inside, but it also constantly releases its powerful primordial energy to the outside world.

However, Xiao Yan was only at the Peak Dou Emperor, and the aura he released was also only at the Peak Dou Emperor.

For Fallen Heart Flame, who wanted to defeat Mang Tianchi and gain his freedom, this was an irresistible "treasure of nature".

It couldn't wait to bite the hook.

Both sides coveted each other and moved with astonishing speed. In just a moment, the blue flame and the Twisted Flame were almost touching.

Just as the two were about to collide, three flames of different colors burst forth from Xiao Yan's body.

From the perspective of the Fallen Heart Flame, the once tempting and delicious blue flame suddenly erupted with an aura that made it tremble with fear. It was as if the docile lamb had transformed into a giant dragon soaring in the sky, making it unable to muster any will to resist.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Fallen Heart Flame cried out in alarm, suddenly turning around in an attempt to escape, but crashed headfirst into a wall of light green fire.

After finding the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan unleashed the Life Lotus Core Flame all at once. The terrifying flames instantly devoured all the magma within a radius of hundreds of meters, forming a sea of fire that trapped the Fallen Heart Flame within.

Xun'er stood by, supporting Xiao Yan.

A few breaths later, Xiao Yan grabbed the Origin Fire Seed of the Fallen Heart Flame, and the Life Lotus Core Flame into a Green Lotus, binding the Invisible and Colorless Little Snake within the lotus heart.

The Life Spirit Flame often exist in the form of Medicinal Herbs, and the Green Lotus Core Flame is a cluster of fire seeds from the Green Lotus Core. It is quite fitting that it has transformed into a Green Lotus at this moment.

"I never imagined that the Fallen Heart Flame, which left Mang Tianchi helpless, could be so easily defeated by Brother Xiao Yan." Xun'er's big eyes curved into crescents, her tone full of joy.

"It's just a trick," Xiao Yan said, shaking his head.

What the Soul Clan said was indeed true. Finding the Fallen Heart Flame in the Lava World was like finding a needle in a haystack. Only by preparing the "bait" could they achieve anything.

And since the Heavenly Flames is "weaker" than the Fallen Heart Flame, it is naturally the best "bait".

"Brother Xiao Yan, shall we retreat first?" Xun'er asked with concern.

The Yan Clan Yao Clan are still searching for traces of the Fallen Heart Flame in this Lava World. Although the battle just now was a one-sided crushing defeat, the violent aura, as well as the churning magma and fire-attribute energy, will inevitably attract the people of the other two clans.

In particular, Xiao Yan had to maintain the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations at all times in order to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame, which was a huge burden on his body.

"Okay." Xiao Yan didn't hesitate and immediately returned the way he came with Xun'er.

The lush green flames enveloped the two of them. Unlike the Green Lotus Core Flame when they sank, this time Xiao Yan used the Life Spirit Flame, completely concealing his aura without revealing a trace.

Because he activated the Secret Technique, Xiao Yan's strength increased by a whole realm, and his speed was naturally incomparable to what it used to be. The Foot-long Green Flame, streaked across the Lava World like a meteor, instantly covering an unknown distance.

Without a word, Xiao Yan easily obtained the Fallen Heart Flame. He didn't encounter any obstacles from the Yan Clan or the Yao Clan, which required a bloody battle for half a day, and he only narrowly won with Xun'er's help. He directly rushed out of the Lava World.

"It seems our Gu Clan has won first place," Gu Yuan said with a faint smile.

Yan Jin felt a little regretful. If the Yan Clan had obtained the Fallen Heart Flame, then including the Nine Nether Wind Flame of the Yao Clan, the Yan Clan would have suffered almost no loss.

"Well!"

Just then, Gu Yuan suddenly sighed heavily, reached out and snatched the lotus flower from Xiao Yan's hand.

No longer needing to maintain the seal on the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan's aura plummeted, while Xun'er, standing beside him, tenderly tended to his meridians.

"Hey, Xiao Xuan is exhausted." Seeing this, Lei Ying instantly understood why Gu Yuan sighed, but he couldn't help but smile.

"Is this the flame created by the fusion of the Flame Mantra?" Yan Jin was more interested in the Green Lotus created by Xiao Yan.

Heavenly Flames cannot be mixed together; they explode upon contact, fighting to the death. A thousand years ago, Xiao Xuan was praised for suppressing three Heavenly Flames with his cultivation.

Yan Jin has always been proud of fusing the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire and the Volcanic Stone Flame, and he has always wanted to compare it with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame of the Gu Clan. Now that he has seen another Fusion Heavenly Flame, he is naturally delighted.

Gu Yuan glanced at him. The Gu Clan and the Lei Clan and Yan Clan are currently in a honeymoon period, so there's no need to hold Yan Jin back over such a trivial matter.

Therefore, after Gu Yuan separated the Fallen Heart Flame, he gave the Yan Jin Green Lotus.

The small competition came to a conclusion, and the other three Patriarch left with their people. Gu Yuan watched Xun'er, who had suddenly become busy, for a long time before leaving behind a fragment of his soul and returning to the Gu Clan.

The Mang Tianchi suppressed the Origin Fire Seed of the Fallen Heart Flame, extracting a wisp of it to serve as the foundation of the Jia Nan Academy's Inner Courtyard, while the remainder was firmly sealed and given to Xiao Yan.

This was also agreed upon beforehand; the Fallen Heart Flame is the foundation of the Jia Nan Academy, and Mang Tianchi does not want the Jia Nan Academy he founded to decline like this.

"Hoo~ Brother Xiao Yan, I always feel like Dad is still watching me." Xun'er said somewhat suspiciously.

"I need to protect your safety." Xiao Yan rubbed Xun'er's little head.

Xiao Yan really likes to touch Xun'er's head—if a gentle girl is by your side, and you can reach out and touch her little head anytime, anywhere, she will squint her eyes and enjoy it, giving you a sweet smile, which no man could possibly refuse.

Xun'er's reluctance to return to the Gu Clan was naturally for Xiao Yan's sake. It was not an easy thing to travel from the Ancient Realm to this place. Xiao Yan rarely had the chance to go home, Xun'er did not want him to rush back.

Xiao Yan naturally understood Xun'er's feelings. Instead of going into seclusion to refine the Fallen Heart Flame, he spent the first time cuddling with Xun'er.

Of course, he would also set aside an hour each day to give guidance to the younger members of the Xiao Family who had been admitted to the Jia Nan Academy, or to refine a few Pills for them.

At these times, Xun'er would quietly stay by Xiao Yan's side, her face full of a satisfied smile.

Half a month passed in this way, and Xiao Yan's body, which had been damaged by the Heavenly Fire Three Profound Transformations, naturally recovered completely. He also adjusted his condition to its peak before heading to the Underground Magma World to refine the Fallen Heart Flame.

Generally, when refining Heavenly Flames, one would look for a relatively low-temperature environment and prepare a Pills to protect the meridians. But Xiao Yan was clearly different; he chose a place full of fire.

"I should break through to the Dou Zong first..."

Xiao Yan touched the Flame Mark between his eyebrows. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame there still contained enormous energy. Every time his Soul Power touched it, Xiao Yan could feel his own insignificance.

He raised his hand and swallowed a Sect Breaking Pill with Pill Pattern. The enormous medicinal power exploded in Xiao Yan's body, impacting the bottleneck of the Dou Ancestor realm. Wisps of Golden Flame also slowly seeped into Xiao Yan's body, becoming an aid to his breakthrough.

The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame burned away all the impurities in Xiao Yan's body, and a continuous stream of fire-attribute energy filled his meridians; the Life Spirit Flame stimulated his Dou Di Bloodline, subtly strengthening Xiao Yan's physique; the Green Lotus Core Flame devoured the magma and could be disregarded.

There was no way around it; the difference between different kinds of Heavenly Flames could be even greater than the difference between Heavenly Flames and Beast Flame. In front of the fourth and fifth ranked Heavenly Flames, the Green Lotus Core Flame could only tremble in fear.

Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Zong very quickly, even faster than when he broke through to the Dou Emperor from the Dou Wang, taking only half a month.

The reason is simple: for people with enough talent, as long as they have enough energy and their bodies can handle it, they can break through quickly.

The energy within the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was enough to allow Xiao Yan to break through all the way to Dou Zun. Now, breaking through to Dou Zong is naturally a piece of cake.

Reaching the Dou Ancestor realm is a complete transformation, and Xiao Yan set up a small Formation as an aid.

This is Formation with very low difficulty, but its effect is quite peculiar. It focuses on using fire attribute energy to suppress flames, and can effectively suppress the Fallen Heart Flame in the Lava World.

After swallowing a Seventh Grade Pill, Xiao Yan easily swallowed the Fallen Heart Flame.

The Fallen Heart Flame has a miraculous effect on refining Dou Qi, and is even called a "cultivation accelerator". However, Xiao Yan did not feel anything after refining it, simply because his own Dou Qi had been refined by the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, making it as pure and condensed as it could be.

However, after refining the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan vaguely sensed that something in the Lava World was constantly calling out to him.

"Uncle, are you still there?" Xiao Yan asked softly.

"Not here." Gu Yuan's annoyed voice came from beside me.

"Hmm... Xun'er hasn't gone back yet?" Xiao Yan, feeling a little guilty.

"What do you say?" Gu Yuan's voice was full of resentment, feeling helpless about his daughter's favoritism.

"Ahem, after I refined the Fallen Heart Flame, I sensed a faint call. Perhaps there are some ruins deep within the Lava World —I plan to embark on a 'grand adventure' with Xun'er, and I would appreciate your help, Uncle." Xiao Yan said humbly.

Gu Yuan did not reply, but Xiao Yan felt that since his uncle did not refuse, it meant he agreed, so he went to find Xun'er.

Xun'er readily agreed and happily accepted Xiao Yan's invitation.

The two ventured into the Lava World together once again, but unlike last time when they had to fight for it, this time they were both incredibly relaxed.

"Speaking of which, the places where Heavenly Flames are born all seem to be quite extraordinary," Xun'er said with some emotion.

Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er, who seemed lost in thought, and a flash of inspiration struck him. He immediately understood Xun'er's meaning and said:

"Perhaps we can also make a trip to the birthplace of the Green Lotus Core Flame. Last time we were too rushed and only managed to obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Lotus Platform and lotus heart, and the root that can continuously produce the Green Lotus Core Flame. We didn't find anything else."

Gu Yuan, who was following behind, did not raise any objections and was content to act as their bodyguard.

If the roots of the Green Lotus Core Flame can be found, the Gu Clan is fully capable of providing a suitable environment for it, and harvesting Earth Fire Lotus Seed and Green Lotus Core Flame every so often.

In the future, the difficulty for the Gu Clan to cultivate the Flame Mantra will be greatly reduced—they can first refine Beast Flame, then refine Earth Fire Lotus Seed, and then refine the Green Lotus Core Flame, which is basically enough to evolve the Flame Mantra to the Xuan Tier Advanced, enough to be used until the Dou Emperor.

With the foundation of Dou Emperor cultivation, refining other Heavenly Flames will be much easier.

However, unlike Gu Yuan, who was always thinking about the great cause of the Gu Clan, Xun'er had no such thoughts at all. She only wanted to spend more time with Brother Xiao Yan in a place where the Gu Clan Elder could not interfere.

Xun'er had a sweet smile on her face, feeling very satisfied that her Brother Xiao Yan and she were of one mind.

Happy times always pass too quickly. Just as the young couple continued to explore the Lava World, chatting and laughing, Gu Yuan discovered a problem.

There's actually a Dou Sacred Clan here!

Although they were only two Half-Saint, their unprecedented appearance still greatly intrigued Gu Yuan.

"Hmm... then let's call the main body over and have him go down and take a look?"
