Seeing the Heavenly Flame Venerable's inability to accept the situation, his emotional state causing his soul to tremble violently, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
After a long while of digesting the information, Heavenly Flame Venerable finally came to his senses and sighed with some regret:
"The younger generation is truly formidable! Today's young people are really amazing!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect to encounter another Dou Zun expert in a similar situation to me. This world is truly interesting!"
Suddenly, Yao Lao popped out of the ring on Xiao Yan's finger and said with a smile.
"Such powerful soul force!"
Upon seeing Yao Lao, Heavenly Flame Venerable was immediately shocked. The other party's soul power was far more vast than his own at his peak! "Yao TianHuo, peak of the Five Star Dou Zun."
While Heavenly Flame Venerable felt solemn, he also showed a serious expression on his face and cupped his hands to Yao Lao.
"Yao Chen should be considered Dou Zun Peak."
The Yao Lao nodded and said with a faint smile.
Hiss! Upon hearing this, the other three also gasped in shock.
This was the first time that the Yao Lao had revealed the specific strength he possessed during his lifetime.
At the Dou Zun Peak, the next level up is Dou Sheng!
Xiao Yuan was alright; he was aware of Yao Lao's strength, but at this moment, he obviously had to play along.
"It seems that these two lads are able to achieve such strength because they have a good teacher like you to guide them!"
Heavenly Flame Venerable now feels that everything makes sense. Well, actually, it doesn't make that much sense.
Even with expert guidance, it's impossible for someone under twenty to reach this level of skill. That's outrageous!
"Hehe, it's mainly thanks to the hard work of these two little ones. I just did what I could."
The Yao Lao smiled modestly, but the pride on his face was already evident.
"Venerable Yao is too modest. Judging from your aura, you must have been an alchemist in your previous life."
Heavenly Flame Venerable wouldn't really think that Yao Lao hadn't done anything. With his insight and experience, he naturally saw Yao Lao's extraordinary nature.
"Well, I can only refine some Rank 8 Pill. I can't withstand the ninth-grade pill lightning. But in my current state, I can only refine some Grade 7 Pill. My strength is really less than two or three tenths of what it was at its peak."
The Yao Lao nodded, saying with a hint of helplessness.
Upon hearing this Heavenly Flame Venerable's pupils contracted.
He naturally didn't think that the Yao Lao was bragging. They all had their own pride and wouldn't just boast about their best techniques.
His spiritual cultivation was also quite strong, so he naturally had a deep understanding of alchemists.
To refine Rank 9 Pill, one's soul power must reach the Heavenly State! The soul power of the Venerable Yao before me is indeed vast, that's for sure, but deliberately mentioning this point is clearly a warning to myself.
Heavenly Flame Venerable felt much more at ease about this.
Having seen countless people, he knew that the three masters and disciples before him, if truly provoked, would surely be ruthless killers.
But if we can befriend them, my resurrection in the future will be guaranteed, and I might even be able to reach the realm of the Dou Sheng that I never set foot in during my life!
What a profitable deal! "So it's true that a great teacher produces a great student!"
So, Heavenly Flame Venerable bowed once more.
Putting everything else aside, Yao Lao's own strength and alchemy skills alone are enough for Heavenly Flame Venerable to take seriously, not to mention the two youngsters whose talent is already overflowing.
After some pleasantries, Xiao Yuan explained the situation to Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, while Heavenly Flame Venerable added some information that Xiao Yuan was not clear about.
A moment later, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were also filled with surprise.
"I never imagined that such a terrifying being was hidden beneath this magma!"
"Yao Lao sighed."
"Well, thankfully they won't come up to the upper layer of lava, otherwise it would be troublesome."
Xiao Yan also said the same thing from the side.
"I was wondering if the sudden surge in Fallen Heart Flame's strength was due to hunting these Flame Lizardman?"
Xiao Yuan brought up the guess he had already had while he was down there.
"Yes, very likely!" Xiao Yan nodded, then added, "Although Senior Tianhuo said that those Flame Lizardman cannot leave the magma, it's not like they can't even come up to the upper levels. Perhaps this is also related to the Fallen Heart Flame!"
"Not necessarily. In my opinion, it's more like a habit of avoiding trouble. Ordinary people can't get into the deep magma, but those with the strength of Dou Zong can venture into the shallow magma. Therefore, it's safer for them to give up the shallow magma and live in the deep magma."
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable shook his head, as he had a different opinion on the matter.
"Yes, but we need to be careful in the days to come. Otherwise, even if they can't leave the lava, if they go crazy and launch a sneak attack from below, it will be a troublesome matter."
Xiao Yuan nodded. Heavenly Flame Venerable said was not impossible. It was best to be cautious in everything.
"Oh right, and this too!"
Xiao Yuan opened his mouth, and an invisible flame was exhaled.
"It really is the Fallen Heart Flame!"
Although Xiao Yan already knew about the nascent Fallen Heart Flame when Xiao Yuan recounted his experience under the magma, seeing this incredibly familiar flame in person still filled Xiao Yan with emotion.
"Brother, are you going to refine this Fallen Heart Flame? Although it's weak, it can still accelerate the cultivation of Dou Qi!"
Xiao Yan's first thought was to have Xiao Yuan refine the Heavenly Flames.
"There's no need," Xiao Yuan shook his head upon hearing this. "This nascent Fallen Heart Flame is somewhat useful to me, but not by much. However, for the Inner Academy, it's an absolute godsend. With this, the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda can be reopened, and its effects won't be much weaker than before. As long as powerful individuals continuously supply it with energy or Dou Qi, the Inner Academy can reactivate the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, known as a 'cultivation accelerator'!"
Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, his eyes lighting up. "Yes, and this nascent Fallen Heart Flame can also gradually evolve. Given time, it will definitely evolve into a mature Fallen Heart Flame. This kind of Heavenly Flames, nurtured from a young age, will be much easier to tame in the future. There won't be any more incidents like the previous mature ' Fallen Heart Flame ' rampage. Perhaps a hundred years from now, the Fallen Heart Flame that has evolved intelligence will gradually grow into a super guardian of the Inner Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable nodded slightly. Indeed, these two brothers were of good character. It seemed that he had survived a great calamity and was bound to be blessed with good fortune in the future!
At this moment, Xiao Yan was also quite excited. He had been troubled and guilty about how to completely solve the problem of the depletion of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. Now, the appearance of the Fallen Heart Flame larva will undoubtedly solve this problem perfectly, and the guilt in his heart will finally be completely dissipated.
After all, in a while, Xiao Yan will be setting off for Central State with his Third Brother Xiao Yuan. Before leaving, he will definitely want to take care of everything that needs to be done.
This time, it was Third Brother who stepped in to clean up the mess for him again!
Xiao Yan's gaze swept across Xiao Yuan's face, but he ultimately said nothing.
There's no need for formalities between them.
After resting for a while, Xiao Yuan gave half of the Crimson Pearl he had obtained to Xiao Yan, and then found a place to study the Five Round Fire Separation Method of the Heavenly Flame Venerable.
Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry to learn the Five Round Fire Separation Method. Right now, he was more interested in improving his strength and learning the Six Directions Body Roaming Ruler first.
Moreover, he has always had great confidence in his Third Brother Xiao Yuan's talent for Dou Technique.
On a crimson mountaintop, Xiao Yuan unrolled the scroll of the Five Round Fire Separation Method and began to study it carefully.
"If you have any questions while practicing the ' Five Round Fire Separation Method,' you can ask me. Since you have helped me, I will naturally not be stingy with you."
The voice of Heavenly Flame Venerable rang in Xiao Yuan's ears.
"Then I'll thank you in advance."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and thanked Heavenly Flame Venerable.
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable merely smiled slightly before falling silent again. The use of Space Power had consumed a considerable amount of his soul energy, leaving him somewhat exhausted.
"By the way, Senior Tianhuo, you can try this first!"
Xiao Yuan naturally knew that Heavenly Flame Venerable was not in good condition, so he lowered his eyelids slightly and then pointed his finger at the center of his brow. A rich and pure soul power floated out from it and was easily guided into his Storage Ring.
"Hmm? This soul power can actually repair the damage caused by soul depletion?"
Soon after, Heavenly Flame Venerable's shocked voice rang out.
"Well, it's just some of my tricks. Although this amount of power isn't enough for Senior Tianhuo to fully recover to his best condition, it's enough to help you recover from your weakness and at least prevent you from falling into a deep sleep."
Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Hehe, that's enough, that's enough. With this power, I will definitely teach you the next Five Round Fire Separation Method with all my heart. You have good talent and your control over fire is quite precise, so your speed in cultivating the Five Round Fire Separation Method will definitely not be slow!"
Heavenly Flame Venerable laughed heartily.
Although this Magma World is fraught with danger, it is indeed a treasure trove for Xiao Yuan's cultivation. With the time to travel to Central State drawing ever closer, he must seize every second to strengthen his power. He knows that with his current strength, he is nothing in Central State, a region teeming with hidden talents. After all, it is the center of the entire continent, home to many Dou Zun expert. With his current strength, dealing with Dou Zun is undoubtedly a pipe dream! Therefore, he needs to devote more effort and energy! With a focused mind, Xiao Yuan's attention returned to the Five Round Fire Separation Method.
The Fire Control Technique, as the name suggests, is a method for controlling flames. Xiao Yuan had never practiced this technique before. His usual methods of controlling Heavenly Flames for attacks were only based on his own superficial understanding. His control techniques were not as sophisticated as the so-called "Five Round Fire Separation Method".
Therefore, when Xiao Yuan was carefully studying the "Five Round Fire Separation Method," he undoubtedly felt a sense of novelty, as if he had suddenly entered a new realm. The various fire control methods recorded in the technique were not only dazzling, but also allowed him to control the flames with the least amount of soul power, and finally unleash the greatest power.
In this light, it's no wonder that Heavenly Flame Venerable could use the name Heavenly Fire as his title.
After all, the Heavenly Flame Venerable must have been a legendary figure back then, capable of creating the Five Round Fire Separation Method, which is comparable to Heaven Rank Battle Skill.
However, Yao Lao had never heard of the name of Heavenly Flame Venerable, which suggests that there must have been quite a few years between the two.
While Xiao Yuan was studying the "Five Round Fire Separation Method," Heavenly Flame Venerable's teachings were incredibly detailed, which made Xiao Yuan's learning efficiency even more efficient. As the creator of this fire control technique, it can be said that no one understands the Five Round Fire Separation Method better than Heavenly Flame Venerable!
In the following period, Xiao Yuan unsurprisingly fell into the wondrous world of fire control of the "Five Round Fire Separation Method." In less than ten days, Xiao Yuan's ability to control flames increased exponentially! During this time, Xiao Yuan obtained the Fire Gathering Pot from the Great Elder from Xiao Yan, put the nascent Fallen Heart Flame into it, and took it out to give to Great Elder Su Qian.
At first, the Great Elder was furious, feeling that Xiao Yan had acted rashly without regard for his own foundation. However, after Xiao Yuan's explanation, he was relieved. After conducting some tests, the Great Elder finally smiled with joy. Clearly, he understood how significant this nascent Fallen Heart Flame was to the Jia Nan Academy.
In addition, Xiao Yuan also took some time to spend with Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yu, and made some more delicious candies and pills for Zi Yan.
After that, he returned to the Magma World to continue his cultivation.
Xiao Yi Xian was incredibly powerful. Although she didn't follow him down, after experiencing the effects of the Heart Fire, she also entered the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda with Xiao Yuan and began cultivating on the last floor.
Being closer to Xiao Yuan like this would make her feel at ease.
In this desolate, ancient Magma World, time slips away silently like sand through one's fingers. The passing years are so insignificant that they barely cause the boundless magma to stir. Time seems to become negligible here. A month passes in the blink of an eye.
During this month, Xiao Yuan didn't focus all his energy on the "Five Round Fire Separation Method." With the help of the remaining five hundred Crimson Pearl, Xiao Yuan's strength was also advancing by leaps and bounds. Although he had only recently advanced to the Dou Zong, Xiao Yuan could clearly feel that his meridians, which had been expanded after the last advancement, were gradually beginning to swell. This phenomenon told Xiao Yuan that his strength had improved again, and perhaps after some time, he would be able to advance to the Two Star Dou Zong!
However, this means that there are indeed not enough Crimson Pearl.
So Xiao Yuan secretly went down into the lava again, and with the help of Heavenly Flame Venerable, silently killed a large number of Flame Lizardman.
This infuriated the powerful Flame Lizardman, but unfortunately, they lacked Space Power and could only serve as resources for Xiao Yuan's cultivation.
