Fallen Heart Flame's Effects, Flame Lizardmen

"The Earth Fire Lotus Platform has grown larger."

Yao Lao had been keeping an eye on Xiao Yan's condition while also having to protect himself and be vigilant about his surroundings, so he hadn't noticed the changes in the Earth Fire Lotus Platform.

In contrast, Xiao Yan treats the Earth Fire Lotus Platform no differently than his bed, using it to absorb Heavenly Flames, take pills, and even during cultivation.

If the Earth Fire Lotus Platform weren't made of an unusual material, the spot in the center where he often sat would definitely have two dents in his buttocks.

Therefore, his body immediately sensed the abnormality as soon as the Earth Fire Lotus Platform changed slightly.

Xiao Yan lowered his head and reached out to stroke the Earth Fire Lotus Platform.

Perhaps it was due to the unique environment of the underground magma, but he always felt that the Earth Fire Lotus Platform looked noticeably more... full?

"Yan'er, this Earth Fire Lotus Platform was originally born from magma. The magma in the Earth's core beneath the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower is not only extremely rich in energy, but it is also the perfect environment for it."

"In my opinion, this Earth Fire Lotus Platform must have absorbed energy here to significantly improve itself," the Yao Lao analyzed.

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement and then said, "Teacher, let me try out this Earth Fire Lotus Platform to see how efficient it is at absorbing fire-attribute energy, and whether it improves the process."

After saying that, Xiao Yan closed his eyes and began to circulate the <Flame Mantra>, which had already reached the Quasi-Heaven Rank.

Once the Cultivation Technique was activated, in an instant, Xiao Yan's body unleashed an enormous suction force that terrified everyone.

The energy of the surrounding world was like a shark smelling the smell of blood, rushing into Xiao Yan's body. In this huge underground magma world, the endless magma turned into pure energy, so that a small vacuum field appeared around him.

"This... the Flame Mantra has evolved to the Heaven Rank?! No, it feels like it's still a bit lacking, but the speed at which it absorbs energy is absolutely incomparable to high- Earth Rank Cultivation Technique... it 'Quasi-Heaven Rank." Yao Lao was indescribable.

Looking back from when I first arrived in Wutan City, it's been less than five years.

When he handed the Flame Mantra to Xiao Yan, he was worried that the initial level of the Flame Mantra was too low. If Xiao Yan couldn't find Heavenly Flames, he would fall behind others in terms of Cultivation Technique for a long time.

Who would have thought that from the moment he left Wutan City, Xiao Yan's luck would be incredibly good.

He obtained the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and in the Tagor Desert, he successively obtained two Heavenly Flames: the Green Lotus Core Flame Wind Fury Dragon Flame. Even during a trip to the Chu Yun Empire, he was able to absorb two Nether Poison Flame.

Now that they've arrived in the Black-Corner Region, they've successfully absorbed the Sea Heart Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame.

An ordinary Alchemist would be lucky to absorb even one of these Heavenly Flames.

Xiao Yan received one after another, which was enough to drive anyone mad with envy.

Yao Chen thought to himself, "Once my physical body is reconstructed and I no longer need the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to maintain my Soul Body, I can give this Bone Spirit Cold Flame to Yan'er. At that time, the Flame Mantra should be able to evolve to the Heaven Rank."

"Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique... even at my peak, they were hard to find."

Just as Yao Lao was lost in thought, Xiao Yan had finished a short cultivation session and exclaimed with delight, "Teacher, this Earth Fire Lotus Platform is now even more efficient at helping me absorb the energy of heaven and earth!"

The Yao Lao nodded and smiled, "Good! This Earth Fire Lotus Platform is a companion to the Heavenly Flames, and to a certain extent, it also possesses the ability to continuously evolve, just like the Heavenly Flames. If you nurture it well in the future, its potential will not be limited to this!"

Xiao Yan replied earnestly, "This disciple will remember!"

The Yao Lao hummed in agreement, steering the conversation back on track. "Yan'er, now tell your master, how effective is this Fallen Heart Flame?"

Xiao Yan carefully sensed it and found that the Fallen Star Flame within his body was constantly helping him refine his Dou Qi.

His Dou Qi passed through the Heart Flame of the Fallen Heart Flame, shrinking in size but becoming more condensed and powerful.

As he continued in this cycle, his Dou Qi was refined to a certain degree, and his cultivation level increased accordingly.

Xiao Yan compared this speed with his own cultivation speed and concluded. "The Fallen Heart Flame generates Heart Flame to help me cultivate. The speed is not too fast, not as fast as my current Quasi-Heaven Rank Flame Mantra. But it has the advantage of helping me temper my Dou Qi every moment, and it does not prevent me from cultivating at the same time."

Over time, this leads to considerable improvement.

"That would be perfect." The Yao Lao's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"Yan'er, the Fallen Heart Flame has been fully absorbed, so let's leave. I have a feeling this Magma World is not so simple."

Xiao Yan shook his head. "Teacher, don't leave yet. The Fallen Heart Flame is guiding me down, and something is attracting me."

"Guide you down there?" The Yao Lao was a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yan'er, the Fallen Heart Flame has already submitted to you, so it shouldn't do anything to harm you. We can go and see what's going on."

"That's what I think too, teacher," Xiao Yan said, though he already knew what was beneath the magma.

The Fallen Heart Flame Seedling and the remnant soul of the Venerable Skyfire are, in a sense, quite fortuitous encounters.

Especially Venerable Skyfire, as a veteran Dou Venerate who became famous many years ago, his knowledge in some aspects even surpasses that of Yao Lao, and the Dou Skill he has mastered are also very suitable for him now.

Therefore, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't miss it.

Xiao Yan summoned the Fallen Heart Flame from his body and nodded.

Upon seeing this, the Fire Python led the way downwards.

Xiao Yan let Yao Lao enter the ring while he chased after him.

In a fiery Earth Core Magma World, it felt as if I had fallen into the deep sea, with nothing around me except the rumbling sound of the magma rolling.

Fortunately, the Fire Python leading the way would occasionally look back, making Xiao Yan feel less lonely.

I thought I would have a smooth journey to my destination.

Unexpectedly, after traveling for a while, a figure suddenly blocked their path.

It was a humanoid, upright creature, its entire body crimson, comparable to magma, covered in sharp scales, and its more than one-meter-long scaly tail swayed slightly.

Its round head, covered with fine, spiky scales, had long, narrow eyes that looked fiercely at Xiao Yan, and its mouth split open, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth.

Just by looking at its appearance, Xiao Yan already knew the origin of the creature before him.

That is the magma creatures mentioned in the original work, the Flame Lizard Tribe.

They live in magma, and their structure is similar to but different from that of magical beasts. They do not have Magic Core in their bodies, but they have Crimson Orb in their chest cavities that are similar to Magic Core. These Crimson Orb can directly help fire-attribute cultivators cultivate, and they can also be used as Fire-Attribute Magic Core, added to provide energy when refining medicine.

Xiao Yan vaguely remembered that they seemed to have been chosen by the Tou She Ancient God to specifically guard the Ancient God Cave Mansion.

The entire clan is extremely powerful, ranging from Dou Wang and Dou Emperor to Dou Venerate Semi-Saint. Anyone who ventures deep into the magma and tries to approach the Ancient God Cave Mansion will be attacked by them.

Xiao Yan had no interest in going to the Ancient God Cave Mansion.

He might have thought about going inside to obtain Origin Qi before, but ever since he received the true inheritance of the Wan Ling Emperor and learned that he had other ways to obtain Origin Qi, his desire for the Ancient God Cave Mansion has been completely extinguished.

On the contrary, he was very interested in the Flame Lizard clan, or rather, in the Crimson Orb within their bodies.

This pure fire-attribute "Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches" is most suitable for him to improve his cultivation.

If I could get more of these, breaking through to the Dou Venerate level would be just around the corner!
