Heavenly Flame Venerable's Worldview Collapsed

Heavenly Flame Venerable stared blankly at the four Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yuan's hand, feeling as if he had lived in vain for so many years.

"Senior Tianhuo?"

Xiao Yuan called out softly.

"Ah, the younger generation is truly formidable!"

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable snapped out of his reverie, looked at Xiao Yuan, and couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately afterwards, a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

"When I first found this place, I discovered the traces of the Fallen Heart Flame. It took me several years to finally subdue it. The Fallen Heart Flame that I subdued was the one I released after my death. It must have been refined by your companion, right?"

Without waiting for Xiao Yuan's response, Heavenly Flame Venerable continued, "Back then, relying on his abilities, he thought he could go anywhere in the world. Therefore, after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame, he did not leave but instead curiously ventured into this Magma World."

There was a hint of regret in Heavenly Flame Venerable's tone, as if he was regretting his recklessness back then.

"After venturing deeper into the Magma World, I discovered another Heavenly Flame Seed of the Fallen Heart Flame Fallen Heart Flame. This discovery delighted me, and I greedily tried to collect it as well. However, when the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flame Seed within my body, they not only failed to fuse perfectly but also repelled each other like enemies. That battle between the Heavenly Flames left me severely injured, and it was at that moment that I was attacked."

Heavenly Flame Venerable sighed softly.

"Are they those Flame Lizardman?"

Xiao Yuan asked.

"Yes, those Flame Lizardman seem to be the original creatures here. There are a lot of them, and there are many super strong people among them who are comparable to Dou Zun. On that occasion, I encountered a lizardman of Dou Zun level. If I were at my peak, I would not have been afraid of it. But unfortunately, the battle between the two Heavenly Flames left me seriously injured. You can guess what happened next. After that battle, I was fatally injured. Fortunately, these lizardmen did not understand the Space Power, so they could not find my hiding place."

A hint of astonishment flickered in Heavenly Flame Venerable's eyes, as if that great battle from back then still left a deep impression on him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded. He had just felt that those Flame Lizardman didn't understand Space Power very well, and this confirmed his suspicions.

"Although I successfully concealed my presence, I was also seriously injured. Soon after, my body gradually collapsed. In my final moments, I released the mature Fallen Heart Flame that I had subdued, and my soul attached itself to the Heavenly Flame Seed in an attempt to preserve it. However, after so many years, my soul has gradually become unable to hold on. If no one enters this place within three years, my soul may completely dissipate."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded. He could see that although Heavenly Flame Venerable's soul was quite thin, it was still relatively intact. As long as he could restore the soul, he could refine a body for him and help him revive.

"Over the years, the original Heavenly Flame Seed has gradually evolved into the state of heart fire, but it is still in its infancy."

Heavenly Flame Venerable waved his hand, grasping the Fallen Heart Flame in his grasp. He glanced at Xiao Yuan with a light laugh and said, "I see that you can master four Heavenly Flames, so you must have your own special methods. I Heavenly Flames you won't let this one go, will you?"

Xiao Yuan nodded. "I do have some use for this kind of nascent flame. Senior Tianhuo should know that repairing the soul is not a simple matter. Moreover, Senior certainly does not only hope to restore the Heavenly Flames. Compared with the resurrection of a Dou Zun expert, Senior should have a scale in mind."

"Hehe, you're quite generous, lad. Don't worry, as long as you can help me repair my soul, this nascent Fallen Heart Flame will be yours!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable smiled nonchalantly, then reached out and beckoned. A snow-white Storage Ring floated up from the white bones beside him and landed in his hand. With a flick of his finger, a pale white scroll appeared in front of him. On the scroll were painted some birds and beasts with flames all over their bodies.

"Not only that, this is my famous Dou Technique from back then, the ' Five Round Fire Separation Method.' Hehe, calling it Dou Technique isn't accurate; it's actually a fire control technique." Heavenly Flame Venerable tossed the scroll to Xiao Yuan and said, "As long as you can help me, this thing is yours. If you doubt my sincerity, you can take the scroll first, and then help me repair my soul once you find there are no problems."

Reaching out to take the scroll, Xiao Yuan wasn't worried about Heavenly Flame Venerable tampering with it and simply unfolded it.

"The Five Round Fire Separation Method is a fire control method. The technique is divided into five levels, distinguished by the shape of the beast: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon. Each level can condense a Fire Spirit. When the technique is mastered, the five beasts can be gathered together to form the Five Round Fire Separation Array, which has the immense power to scorch the sea Hun Tiandi."

Xiao Yuan's gaze slowly swept over the somewhat simple introduction, and then his eyes stopped on the last line of small print.

"If four of the five beasts are formed from Heavenly Flames, this technique will be as powerful as a Heaven Rank Battle Skill!"

Staring at those four words for a moment, Xiao Yuan grinned, his goal achieved.

Xiao Yuan wasn't particularly concerned about Heavenly Flame Venerable. With his strength and talent, once Heavenly Flame Venerable was resurrected, the Heavenly Flame Venerable's assistance to him wouldn't be as significant.

However, these Five Round Fire Separation Method are different; this is the first Dou Technique that Xiao Yuan obtained with power reaching the Heavenly Rank.

This will give him a greater advantage in future battles.

Moreover, he now possesses exactly four different Heavenly Flames within him! After studying it briefly, Xiao Yuan preliminarily confirmed that Heavenly Flame Venerable said was true, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Senior Tianhuo's sincerity and generosity have truly astonished me. This Dou Technique is excellent and very suitable for me, but it's also very suitable for my younger brother. We both need to learn this Dou Technique. In return, I'll try to kill a Dou Zun expert to provide you with a body! What do you think?"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Then why not use my own?"

Upon hearing this Heavenly Flame Venerable looked at the skeleton beside him and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Well"

Xiao Yuan was speechless upon hearing this.

Exactly, why not use his original one?

"It's not impossible. I'll collect your remains first. If we come across a better body later, we'll use that one. As for your body, it will require Rank 8 Pill, which is not an easy task. It may take two or three years to achieve. You may have to wait patiently."

Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and replied seriously.

"Hehe, as long as you restore my soul power first, I can wait a mere two or three years."

The Heavenly Flame Venerable was quite pleased to hear this. In his opinion, someone like Xiao Yuan, who was able to subdue four Heavenly Flames, must possess great perseverance and speak frankly. He was clearly not the kind of two-faced villain.

If I don't get out soon, I'll die. I might as well take a gamble! I've never seen such a young Dou Zong before, even back in my day.

"Hehe, don't worry about that, I have a lot of experience with this."

Xiao Yuan put away the remains of Heavenly Flame Venerable and said with a smile.

"I hope I haven't misjudged you!"

Upon hearing this Heavenly Flame Venerable gave Xiao Yuan a deep look, and then without hesitation, he tossed the Fallen Heart Flame larva floating in his hand towards Xiao Yuan.

He reached out and caught the somewhat fragile Fallen Heart Flame, then threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.

???

"So fierce?" Heavenly Flame Venerable was stunned when he saw Xiao Yuan's act of drawing fire into his body.

Fallen Heart Flame entered his body, a gentle warmth rose, instantly bringing Xiao Yuan a soothing sensation that made him feel completely comfortable.

He clearly sensed an invisible wave spreading out. Being quite familiar with the Fallen Heart Flame, he naturally knew that this invisible wave was exactly what the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda needed.

Having completely resolved the troubles in the Inner Academy, Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He then waved the "Five Round Fire Separation Method" scroll in his hand at Heavenly Flame Venerable and said with a smile, "Then I will accept this without further ado."

After saying that, he put the scroll directly into his storage Storage Ring.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's actions, Heavenly Flame Venerable shook his head helplessly, grasped the snow-white Storage Ring, and floated to Xiao Yuan's side.

After doing all this, Xiao Yuan turned his gaze to the outside of the light barrier. There seemed to be no trace of the Flame Lizardman in the crimson magma. However, Xiao Yuan knew that those guys were extremely difficult to detect in the magma. They might be discovered as soon as they went out. According to Heavenly Flame Venerable, there were also lizardmen with strength comparable to Dou Zun here. If Xiao Yuan encountered a lizardman of that level in this environment, he would probably have a very difficult time escaping.

"Those Flame Lizardman are extremely sensitive to the flow of magma. They will notice any slight movement in the magma. In addition, their numbers are huge, and the more you kill them, the more they will multiply. In the end, they might even attract the real powerhouses of their tribe. At that time, things could get complicated."

Heavenly Flame Venerable reminded him from the side that he now needed Xiao Yuan to help him repair his soul, so he naturally wouldn't just watch him be torn to pieces by those lizardmen.

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, then suddenly had a thought, "Does Senior Tianhuo still have the strength to use Space Power?"

"Okay, but you need to be faster."

Heavenly Flame Venerable nodded upon hearing this.

"Hehe, no problem."

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable moved his hand seals slightly, and the snow-white Storage Ring in his hand automatically slipped onto Xiao Yuan's finger. His blurry figure flashed in, and a faint fluctuation spread out from the Storage Ring. The light barrier in front of Xiao Yuan slowly cracked. As soon as the light barrier cracked, Xiao Yuan stepped on the ground, and his figure transformed into a dark golden fish shadow, shooting out like lightning. At the same time, a faint Space Power spread out from the white Storage Ring, freezing all the fluctuations of the surrounding magma.

The moment the light shield cracked, neither Xiao Yuan nor Heavenly Flame Venerable noticed that at the bottom of that unreachable crimson Magma World, a huge eye, several meters in diameter, slowly opened.

Silently cutting through the lava, Xiao Yuan's heart suddenly stirred. His hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve, flicked, and a broken piece of ancient Ancient Jade appeared in his palm. At this moment, the Ancient Jade, which had been unresponsive for a long time, was emitting a faint warmth.

Tou She Ancient God! Xiao Yuan touched the broken Ancient Jade in his hand, his heart stirred slightly.

The cave dwelling left behind by the last Dou Di of the Douqi Continent is located at the bottom of this magma!

"It'll be soon!"

Xiao Yuan murmured to himself.

In about five years, he should be able to gain the ability to enter the bottom of the magma!

He wanted to show the Hun Tiandi what a damn surprise was! With the help of Heavenly Flame Venerable, Xiao Yuan's journey was extremely smooth. After more than ten minutes, he gradually moved away from the area where the Flame Lizardman existed. At this moment, the temperature and pressure in the magma had also greatly decreased. Obviously, he was not far from the surface of the magma sea.

"Thump!"

The surface of the magma sea was silent, without wind or waves, except for the occasional faint sound of bubbles bursting. The entire Magma World remained deathly still. Suddenly, a sound of water breaking suddenly rang out, and then a figure wrapped in dark golden flames flashed out from the magma, finally standing on the void and hovering in mid-air.

"Finally out!"

A smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's face. This underground adventure was thrilling but safe, and he gained a lot.

Not only did it completely resolve the worries about the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda in the Inner Academy, but it also obtained a fire control technique that, when refined to its peak, was comparable to a Heaven Rank Battle Skill. Of course, most importantly, it also gained the soul of a Dou Zun- level expert. As long as it is resurrected, it is equivalent to gaining the friendship of this Dou Zun expert.

For Xiao Yuan, becoming Dou Zun was merely a stage in his cultivation journey.

However, a Dou Zun expert is extremely important to the Xiao Clan.

"Finally, I can see the world beyond the magma again. How I miss it!" The illusory white-robed figure floated out of the Storage Ring. Heavenly Flame Venerable looked at the surrounding mountain walls and sighed.

With a whoosh, a flash of silver light appeared, and Xiao Yan, sensing Xiao Yuan's return, Xiao Yan over.

Heavenly Flame Venerable immediately became alert. With a glance, he noticed that the black-clad youth's face bore a resemblance to Xiao Yuan's, and his aura was quite scorching, clearly indicating that he also possessed Heavenly Flames.

"Third Brother, who is this?"

When Xiao Yan saw the illusory old man standing with Xiao Yuan, he knew that the two were not enemies, and immediately asked.

"This is Heavenly Flame Venerable; you should be able to tell from his condition."

Xiao Yuan explained.

"So it was Dou Zun expert! No wonder the remnant soul could stay in the magma for so long!"

Xiao Yan was immediately filled with respect.

"Oh? You're an alchemist too?"

Heavenly Flame Venerable quickly discovered Xiao Yan's Dou Qi attribute and was immediately surprised.

"You have a good eye, senior!"

Xiao Yan cupped his hands in greeting and nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable fell silent. With his discerning eyes, it wasn't difficult to see that Xiao Yan's aura was also at the Six-Star Dou Emperor level. As for his soul power, it was clearly no weaker than Xiao Yuan's. More importantly, Xiao Yan's azure-blue Heavenly Flames clearly contained the scent of the Fallen Heart Flame! In other words, this kid had actually refined at least two or even three different kinds of Heavenly Flames? "Are you two brothers?"

Heavenly Flame Venerable looked at the two men's appearances again and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan responded in unison.

"Damn! What kind of drugs did you guys take? At such a young age, you've mastered alchemy and Dou Qi cultivation, and you can even refine several different kinds of Heavenly Flames?"

Heavenly Flame Venerable felt that his worldview had been severely impacted.
