Gazing at Fallen Heart Flame Successful!

Gazing at Fallen Heart Flame Successful!

Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower.

Ground Floor.

After completing the handover with the elder previously in charge of this place,

Jiang Han began his inspection with full authority.

The layout of this floor was generally circular, with cultivation rooms of varying sizes divided into high, medium, and low tiers.

At this moment, most of the cultivation rooms across all three tiers were occupied. The high-tier rooms, in particular, did not have a single vacancy.

"Is this the new elder replacing Elder Xu? He's so young! He doesn't even look older than us!"

"Is he really a Dou Wang?"

"We're about the same age. Do you think Elder Jiang might take a liking to me?"

One after another, disciples emerged from their cultivation rooms and stood at the doors, scrutinizing Jiang Han.

"What are you all staring at me for? If you think you've cultivated long enough, then get out. There are plenty of disciples outside waiting for your spots."

Jiang Han's cold gaze swept across the disciples, his voice stern.

After saying that, he looked at the few female disciples with improper thoughts and said, "Don't think about taking shortcuts in life. I don't eat meat."

Under Jiang Han's glare, the disciples who had poked their heads out shrank their necks and quickly retreated into their cultivation rooms.

After lecturing the disciples, Jiang Han continued onward along the passage.

Before long, he arrived at the center of this floor.

There was a circular black hole at the center, running through the entire Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower from bottom to top.

Jiang Han came to the edge of the black hole and looked down calmly. Deep darkness stretched as far as the eye could see, bottomless and unfathomable.

"This is the place."

Jiang Han reached into the black hole and grasped a scorching breath. It was exactly like the wisp of Heart Fire that had risen within his body before.

Clearly,

the end of this black hole was the source of energy for the entire Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower.

After confirming that no one was nearby, Jiang Han fully extended his hand into the black hole. A cluster of Azure Flame condensed in his palm—it was the Azure Lotus Core Flame.

Strange Fires attracted one another!

More precisely, powerful Strange Fires often sought to devour weaker ones.

He believed that the Fallen Heart Flame underground would soon sense the presence of the Azure Lotus Core Flame.

At the same time, Jiang Han gazed into the deep black hole.

As Azure Flame surged into his eyes, the endless darkness in his vision gradually became clear.

"It's coming!"

A smile spread across Jiang Han's lips.

As time passed,

the space deep within the black hole began to distort slightly. Like an invisible giant python, the warped space climbed toward the opening at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Feeling the rapidly rising temperature within the opening, along with the intermittent, exceptionally sharp hissing,

Jiang Han did not leave. Instead, he jumped directly into the black hole, hovering in midair as his gaze locked firmly onto the invisible giant python.

The host has continuously gazed for 5 seconds

Target lock successful

Progress: 10%

Progress: 40%

Progress: 80%

Progress: 100%

In merely a few seconds, Jiang Han felt the Dou Qi within him grow stronger, though it had only risen from Three-Star Dou Zong to Four-Star Dou Zong.

According to the System's assessment,

the Fallen Heart Flame's current strength lay between Three-Star Dou Zong and Four-Star Dou Zong.

Thus, his realm had only increased by one star.

Of course, for Jiang Han, the growth of his cultivation was secondary when gazing at a Strange Fire.

The target is a flame naturally formed from the origin of this world. Does the host choose to duplicate and refine it?

Hearing the second System prompt arrive right on schedule, Jiang Han chose to duplicate and refine it without hesitation.

Duplicating and refining Fallen Heart Flame

Progress: 10%

Progress: 30%

Progress: 70%

Progress: 100%

After successfully gazing at it, Jiang Han did not linger and swiftly left the black hole, returning to the edge.

At the very instant Jiang Han departed!

An invisible, gigantic Fire Python over ten meters thick surged upward!

The Fire Python was enveloped in flames from head to tail. Its huge mouth gaped open, crimson fangs rippling with distorted fluctuations.

Invisible fire continuously sprayed from its enormous triangular eyes.

As Jiang Han stared at the Fire Python, the Fire Python stared back at him, even flicking its forked tongue.

Unlike the Azure Lotus Core Flame, the gigantic Fire Python—the Fallen Heart Flame—had developed emotions and intelligence of its own. It had evolved into an intelligent flame entity.

Jiang Han could clearly sense its emotions.

It wanted to swallow him alive!

Or rather, it wanted to devour the Azure Lotus Core Flame within him!

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

Under Jiang Han's gaze, the Fire Python roared furiously as it shot out from the depths of the black hole, drawing ever closer to the opening.

However,

before the Fire Python reached five meters above the deep hole, the surrounding space suddenly trembled.

An extremely peculiar spatial distortion formed into a cage, trapping and binding the gigantic Fire Python.

The Fire Python struggled.

Blazing flames burst from its mouth, flooding the surroundings as they burned the spatial cage.

But in the end, it failed!

After raging for a while,

the Fire Python glared fixedly at Jiang Han, letting out a hiss filled with fury before drilling back into the depths of the black hole.

"Was it provoking me?"

Jiang Han muttered to himself.

For no apparent reason, he wanted to go down and give it a good beating.

Because of the look in its eyes before it vanished.

It was clearly saying, Just you wait! I'll eat you soon enough!

Jiang Han followed the principle of letting minor matters stay minor once his objective had been achieved.

After all, the occasional tremors and roars within the Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower had long become commonplace to the disciples and elders.

See? Despite such a huge commotion just now, barely any disciples had come out of their cultivation rooms to take a look.

"Forget it. I'll let it go."

In the end, Jiang Han chose restraint and did not jump down to have a full-blown fight with the Fire Python.

Just as when he had obtained the Azure Lotus Core Flame,

successfully gazing at the Fallen Heart Flame also came with a small stream of information.

They were likewise fire-element skills.

But some of those skills seemed custom-made for him. There was even a Strange Fire fusion skill.

By noon,

Jiang Han was drinking tea in the duty room.

He was considering what excuse he could use to visit the Thousand-Hundred Two Elders at the Library Pavilion.

Within Jia Nan Academy, aside from the headmaster Mang Qianchi, who wandered the world, the strongest were these two old men at the peak of Dou Zong.

Boom!

At that moment, a violent impact resounded throughout the tower.

The tremendous disturbance caused the entire tower to tremble slightly.

The next instant,

the previously tranquil energy within the cultivation rooms on every floor suddenly churned violently like boiling water.

Jiang Han set down his teacup. Just as he thought this was merely another routine occurrence from the Fallen Heart Flame,

"All disciples within the tower, leave the Heavenly Flame Training Qi Tower immediately! Do not linger!"

"The elders on duty on every floor, quickly clear the disciples from the cultivation rooms! Do not delay!"

Hearing the two aged shouts that suddenly rang out, Jiang Han realized that this time seemed somewhat different.

Jiang Han recognized the source of those shouts. They came from Grand Elder Su Qian.
