Absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, Advancement, the Earth Fire Lotus Platform Grew Larger
Xiao Yan covered his ears.
"What are you yelling about!"
Startled by Xiao Yan's shout, the Fire Python lowered its head and said, "Sorry, Master!"
"I'm just... too excited!" The Fire Python's enormous body circled around Xiao Yan, its excitement and joy clearly visible.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan recalled his experience absorbing the previous Heavenly Flames.
None of those Heavenly Flames possessed sentience, but their affinity for him was clearly visible. Apart from the Green Lotus Core Flame, the other Heavenly Flames seemed to be quite similar to the Fire Python.
"That Green Lotus Core Flame is really arrogant." Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled, his mood strange.
He snapped out of his daze and looked at the Fire Python circling around him, saying, "Since you're willing to be subdued by me, then hand over the fire seed."
"Yes!" Without any hesitation, the Fire Python rapidly shrank, transforming from a gigantic hundred-meter-long Fire Python into a small snake barely the length of an arm.
The little snake flicked its tongue, and a spark of fire rested on the tip of its tongue.
Xiao Yan picked up the fire seed, but instead of immediately absorbing it, he looked at the ring and said, "Teacher, please protect me for a moment."
Yao Lao's Soul Body emerged, he immediately summoned the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to protect himself; he couldn't withstand the underground magma head-on.
After taking precautions, Yao Lao glanced at the Fallen Heart Flame Seed in Xiao Yan's hand and couldn't help but say, "Yan'er, your special physique is even stronger than I imagined."
"To command even Heavenly Flames to submit, one truly deserves to be called the master of flames."
"Well, that might be related to the Fallen Heart Flame's lower strength and the fact that its intelligence hasn't been fully developed." Xiao Yan didn't dare to make a guarantee. He thought of the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Heavenly Flames, both of which had already developed full intelligence and were comparable to humans in wisdom.
If he were to confront these two Heavenly Flames in the future, and face his own attempt to subdue them, would they truly not resist?
If he had come into contact with those two Heavenly Flames earlier, he would probably have been in considerable danger, rather than gaining powerful allies directly.
Xiao Yan was unsure and didn't want to gamble.
As long as he grows up properly and improves his Soul Power, physique, and cultivation in the future, even if the Hun Tiandi has made so many preparations, he will not be his match.
Of course, he doesn't have the opportunity to see these two Heavenly Flames right now.
The Demon Fire Space hasn't opened yet, so forget about getting the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
The Nihility Devouring Flame also stays in the Soul Realm and rarely goes out, making it even more difficult to see.
"I should focus on improving myself." Xiao Yan cleared his mind of distractions, took out the Earth Fire Lotus Platform from his ring, sat cross-legged on it, and then swallowed the seed of the Fallen Heart Flame.
He didn't notice that after he took out the Earth Fire Lotus Platform, the base of the platform directly absorbed the surrounding magma.
In the underground magma environment, similar to its birthplace, the Earth Fire Lotus Platform began its second growth.
The seed of the Fallen Heart Flame entered his abdomen and, guided by Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra, began to circulate directly through his meridians.
Because the Fallen Heart Flame possesses sentience, the guidance this time went even more smoothly than before. The Fallen Heart Flame was even more eager than Xiao Yan himself, actively merging into Xiao Yan's Dou Qi and imbuing itself with Xiao Yan's aura.
After the Fallen Heart Flame circulated twice, it entered the Spirit Container Realm without Xiao Yan needing to actively control it.
However, even with its rapid speed, it couldn't escape the division by the <Flame Mantra>, <Spirit Devouring Body Forging Mantra>, and the Fire Spirit Body. Its energy was split into three parts and absorbed by all three.
Xiao Yan kept his eyes tightly closed, and his aura slowly increased.
First, there's his Dou Qi. After absorbing the Sea Heart Flame, the <Flame Mantra> has been upgraded to the high-level Earth Rank, making his Dou Qi among the top of his cultivation level among Dou Zong.
This time, it absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame, which ranked higher than the Sea Heart Flame and was ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, and the <Flame Mantra> received another significant boost.
To Xiao Yan's surprise, perhaps because the Fallen Heart Flame was extremely mature and had absorbed energy from this Underground Magma World for an unknown period of time, its internal energy was extremely high.
In the original work, he absorbed the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which allowed the <Flame Mantra> to be upgraded from a high-level Earth Rank to Quasi-Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique.
This time, he absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame, which was three ranks lower than the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and the <Flame Mantra> was slowly evolving towards becoming a Quasi-Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique.
The "Flame Mantra" has undergone a surprising change, and the progress on the other two sides is not bad either.
The <Spirit Devouring Body Forging Mantra> absorbed the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame and began to frantically enhance his physical strength.
After consuming the Myriad Beast Pill last time, his physique had already reached the level of one of the best Tier 7 Magical Beast.
Now, having absorbed the immense energy from the Fallen Heart Flame, it has reached the pinnacle of Tier 7 Magical Beast.
If we're talking about physical strength alone, Xiao Yan thinks that among Tier 7 Magical Beast, perhaps only the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Dragon Bear can compare to him.
As for the Fire Spirit Body, absorbing the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame directly raised his cultivation level from One-Star Dou Zong to Four-Star Dou Zong.
He improved his cultivation by a full Three-Star at the Dou Zong stage, a rate of improvement that can only be described as monstrous.
It's worth noting that in the original story, even after absorbing the ninth-ranked Three Thousand Burning Flame, he only rose from Four-Star Dou Zong to Nine-Star Dou Zong.
The top ten different types of Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames are worlds apart from those below them.
After a long period of growth, the Fallen Heart Flame's energy is already comparable to the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which is already quite remarkable, but it is naturally incomparable to the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
The fact that it could raise one's cultivation by a full Three-Star is entirely due to the Fire Spirit Body's terrifyingly high efficiency in absorbing fire-attribute energy, converting every bit of energy to its proper place. Otherwise, it would be normal for it to raise One-Star or One-Star in cultivation.
As Xiao Yan digested the Fallen Heart Flame to enhance himself, the underground magma surged wildly towards him and the Earth Fire Lotus Platform, transforming into violent fire-attribute energy that poured into them.
The Earth Fire Lotus Platform rejoiced, as if it had received the best nourishment. The entire lotus platform became more lustrous, and its size slowly increased.
Xiao Yan's brows relaxed, and as energy continued to flow in, his aura improved further.
The Yao Lao, who was protecting him, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "He has actually improved his cultivation by a full Three-Star! For other Dou Zong cultivators, it would be impossible to improve to Three-Star in less than ten years!"
"Yan'er, the value brought by your physique far surpasses the abundant resources that those Ancient Clans could provide."
"I think so too." Xiao Yan opened his eyes at that moment, a look of joy flashing in them.
The Fire Spirit Body, which was initially chosen, seemed the least remarkable, but now, looking at it, it's probably the most valuable of the five options.
"Yan'er, how do you feel after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame?"
This Fallen Heart Flame ranks fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, but it is known as a cultivation cheat device, allowing its holder to automatically cultivate and improve their cultivation at all times.
"If you put this Fallen Heart Flame and my Bone Spirit Cold Flame together, many people would choose the Fallen Heart Flame." Yao Lao said with a face full of satisfaction.
Xiao Yan smiled, about to express his feelings, when he suddenly sensed something amiss.
He lowered his head, looked at the Earth Fire Lotus Platform, and asked in surprise, "Teacher, why does this Earth Fire Lotus Platform seem to have gotten bigger?"
