Chapter 251
Beneath this Qi Refining Tower lies a sea of magma. Due to the terrain, even a two-star Dou Zong like him would find it difficult to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame below.
And for some reason, it is inhabited by a large number of Flame Lizardmen.
They are all very strong, and more importantly, the dean also mentioned that there is great terror down there, and you should never go down unless absolutely necessary.
"Tell me about anything unusual that's happened here recently."
"Abnormal? There's nothing abnormal!"
"Yes, everything was fine before. Didn't we strengthen the seal not long ago to make the Fallen Heart Flame behave itself?"
"But now suddenly..."
"If we're talking about anything unusual, Elder Wang seemed to have sensed something earlier."
Someone mentioned the elder who was supposed to be replaced, since nothing else had been discovered.
"..."
"Elder Wang over here."
Su Qian pondered for a moment, then quickly spoke.
The immediate priority is to figure out what exactly happened with the Fallen Heart Flame. While it may not be the key to the survival of the Jia Nan Academy, without the Fallen Heart Flame, Jia Nan Academy may no longer be able to cultivate outstanding disciples as quickly as before.
At this moment, Yun Li was completely unaware of the trouble she would bring to the Jia Nan Academy after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame.
After obtaining the Fallen Heart Flame, she did not rush to leave, but continued to delve deeper, for there were things even more precious than the Fallen Heart Flame below.

Chapter 45 Five-Wheel Raging Flame Method.
"This sea of lava is so deep and so vast..."
Yun Li continued to venture deeper into the magma below, and she was surprised to find that the magma sea was much larger than she had imagined; it was practically a real ocean world.
No wonder so many powerful individuals have chosen this place as their target.
After diving for an unknown amount of time, Yun Li sensed the fire element becoming increasingly concentrated, but then she suddenly realized something.
He just took out his Old Iron...
Sure enough, not long after, a large number of monsters appeared not far from her.
They are lizardmen surrounded by flames, and their strength is extraordinary, with at least the strength of a Battle Spirit. In addition, their advantage in the arena makes them far stronger than ordinary Battle Spirits.
More importantly, the leader's strength was comparable to that of a peak Dou Huang.
Yun Li knew that this was not the true strength of these Flame Lizardmen; a truly powerful Flame Lizardmen could even wear down a Dou Zun expert to death.
These Flame Lizardmen were filled with immense ferocity. Upon discovering Yun Li's presence, they didn't waste any words and ruthlessly charged forward.
Taking advantage of the magma, it displayed extremely high speed and unique attacks.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Yun Li and attacked with deadly force!
"Old Iron, let's go."
Facing these Flame Lizardmen, Yun Li didn't back down, raising her Old Iron to meet them head-on. Then, one sword strike at a time, she obliterated all the Flame Lizardmen in front of her in just a few moves, leaving not a trace behind.
But just as Yun Li picked up Old Iron and prepared to continue diving down, a large number of Flame Lizardmen suddenly appeared around her.
Moreover, they are even stronger.
"So many, it's never going to end, is it?"
"Very well, then let me annihilate you all!"
Faced with these reappearing Flame Lizardmen, Yun Li didn't want to waste any more time with them and simply picked up the Old Iron in her hand again.
Cloud Cutter, Mountain Breaker!
The greatsword slammed down, inflicting equal destruction on all the lizardmen present. Even the space itself was utterly destroyed, reduced to nothingness, with vast amounts of lava cleared away.
However, Yun Li also knew that the Flame Lizardmen here could not be killed off completely unless the entire underground lava ocean world was completely destroyed.
Otherwise, these Flame Lizardmen will quickly be re-bred and make a comeback.
But Yun Li wasn't going to do that; it wouldn't benefit her at all, and it would only hinder her from finding what she wanted.
After dealing with the lizardmen, Yun Li quickly continued to descend, using her senses to search her surroundings.
Not long after, she discovered a place.
Yun Li descended into the space where the magma was isolated by a barrier and found a Desolate Bone lying in front of her. In its hand was a newly formed Fallen Heart Flame.
It has the same aura as the Fallen Heart Flame that Yun Li just subdued.
This is one of the targets she is looking for, another Fallen Heart Flame.
At the same time, the origin of the Desolate Bone on the ground is no longer a mystery; they are the former owners of these two Fallen Heart Flame, Heavenly Fire Venerable, Yao Tianhuo.
He was a powerful Dou Zun from ancient times, whose strength was Five-star Dou Zun in his lifetime.
But the ending was somewhat comical; he actually died in the underground magma world of the Jia Nan Academy, under the siege of those Flame Lizardmen.
Yun Li took a step with her fair little feet and walked towards the Desolate Bone in front of her.
Upon approaching the Desolate Bone, she didn't waste any words with him, but instead directly took the newly formed Fallen Heart Flame from his hand.
Just as Yun Li picked up the newly born Fallen Heart Flame, the Desolate Bone seemed to stir, attempting to pull the Fallen Heart Flame back into its grasp.
However, it was interrupted by the powerful aura emanating from Yun Li.
"Hey, little girl, that's going too far."
"Not only did you take away my previous Fallen Heart Flame, but now you're even going to take this other strange flame of mine?"
At this moment, an old man's voice rang out from the Desolate Bone, but it was clear that he did not seem very angry.
"I didn't say I wanted it for free."
Yun Li played with the small strange flame in her hand. This newly born Fallen Heart Flame was something she planned to return to the Jia Nan Academy.
Although Yun Li is unreasonable and has a bit of a bratty personality, she still has her own bottom line. She took away the mature and volatile Fallen Heart Flame, but gave them a well-behaved and easy-to-nurture little strange flame, and the Qi Refining Tower can still be used.
They should be extremely grateful to themselves.
After all, a mature Fallen Heart Flame is not easy to control, and moreover, in terms of ownership, this strange flame does not entirely belong to the Jia Nan Academy.
Instead, it was the Heavenly Fire Venerable before them!
"Oh? You're not taking it for free? What are you going to give me in return for my strange fire?"
"You have to understand, this is a strange fire, and it's the Fallen Heart Flame, which is like a cheat code for cultivation. It's extremely rare in the world!"
Upon hearing Yun Li's voice and discovering that she wasn't surprised at all by his presence, Heavenly Fire Venerable seemed intrigued.
This was the first time he had encountered someone like Yun Li, and even he couldn't discern Yun Li's true strength.
If she hadn't been able to appear so easily in this magma world, he would have thought Yun Li was just an ordinary girl who hadn't even cultivated battle qi.
There wasn't even any fighting spirit on his body.
Do you want to be resurrected?
Yun Li put her hands on her hips and asked in a calm tone.
"Resurrection? You can resurrect me? Are you a Yaoshi? What rank? Are you at least seventh rank?"
Upon hearing Yun Li's words, Heavenly Fire Venerable, who had initially intended to act like a senior, instantly became excited. He immediately manifested his Soul body in front of Yun Li and hurriedly began to ask her questions.
He desperately wants to be resurrected!
He's been dead for so long, and he's been trapped in this godforsaken place, without a single person to talk to.
One can only feel the constant loss of one's soul power, waiting for slow destruction.
You should know that he was originally Five-star Dou Zun, but now his Soul body has been severely depleted, and his strength has dropped to the seven-star Dou Zong level.
If it weren't for the protection of the strange fire, his fate might have been even worse.
Yun Li looked at the figure in front of her, and the image of the Heavenly Fire Venerable surprised her.
He was dressed in white robes, his hair and beard were snow-white, his face was old, and his calm eyes gleamed with a faint light.
But his behavior and tone of voice are just baffling...
"I am not a Yaoshi, but I do have the ability to revive you, and a perfect revival at that."
Yun Li shook her head, then replied with certainty. Because the Soul body the powerful beings in this world were preserved intact, unlike in the Star Rail Universe, where resurrection was quite simple.
Especially with the help of Abundance Divine Power!
"You can revive me even if you're not a Yaoshi?"
Heavenly Fire Venerable Yao Tianhuo looked doubtful. Besides the Yaoshi, what other way was there to revive him?
"... Do you think it's possible?"
Yun Li didn't waste too much time arguing with him; she simply took out several items that were full of Abundance Divine Power.
Sensing the items in Yun Li's hands, especially the Abundance Divine Power emanating from them, even he, a powerful Dou Zun from ancient times with extensive knowledge, was greatly shocked.
Such power was unheard of, completely surpassing the essence of battle qi.
Moreover, the aura of those Abundant Creation made him, as Soul body, feel as if his Soul body had solidified considerably with just one breath.
"What... what is this thing? Such a strong life force. It doesn't feel like something that could exist on the Dou Huo Continent..."
Yao Tianhuo was quite knowledgeable; he immediately recognized that they were definitely not creations of this world.
It is a completely superior entity.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Yun Li didn't want to explain anything.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't! If it's these things, I believe you really can revive me. Very well, then you can have all this strange fire..."
"As long as it can bring me back to life."
Seeing that Yun Li was unwilling to explain, Yao Tianhuo, though itching to do so, remained silent. His immediate priority was to revive her.
However, Yun Li immediately took back these things and shook her head.
"Simply using a different kind of fire is not enough."
"Little girl, don't be too greedy... Wait a minute, how about this, add it in as well."
"This is my signature fighting technique. Once mastered, it is comparable to Heaven-tier Dou Technique."
Yao Tianhuo was about to say something, but seeing Yun Li suddenly turn around, he quickly changed his mind. He had been here for so many years, and apart from Yun Li, he had never met anyone else.
Without Yun Li's help, it's uncertain whether he'll even be able to find another person who can help him revive.
If things continued like this, he didn't know how much longer his Soul body could hold on, so he quickly showed his sincerity.
"This is..."
Looking at the combat scroll in front of me, it seemed quite unusual.
Although Yun Li doesn't need to cultivate any fighting techniques, she can teach them to others or exchange them with others.
Such a fighting skill can definitely be exchanged for the top-grade sword-forging materials. After all, a fighting skill comparable to the Heavenly Rank is extremely rare, even among the top forces in the entire Central Continent.
"Little girl, this is the Five-Wheel Raging Flame Method..."
Seeing Yun Li looking at the fighting techniques, Yao Tianhuo couldn't help but proudly introduce his own fighting techniques.
The Five-Wheel Raging Flame Method is a fire control technique, divided into five levels, distinguished by animal nature: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon. Each level has its own fire spirit.
When the technique is perfected and the five beasts gather, they can form the Five-Ring Glazed Flame Array, possessing immense power capable of scorching the seas and burning the heavens.
If four of the five beasts are formed from different flames, this technique will be as powerful as a Heaven-tier Dou Technique!
The various fire control techniques recorded in the manual are not only dazzling, but also allow for the most exquisite control of flames with minimal consumption of soul power, ultimately unleashing the greatest power.
After Yao Tianhuo finished his introduction, he looked at Yun Li with a smug expression, as if he wanted to see the little girl's shocked expression.
"Oh."
However, Yun Li simply nodded calmly, then took out a string of Candied Hawthorn Skewers and started eating.
