Earth Core Fire Bead, Tian Huo's Resurrection

Ye City, Ye Clan Estate.

Since there was no direct Space Channel from Ye City to Holy Pill City, by the time Xiao Yan and Venerable Feng, along with Zi Yan, Mu Qingluan, and their three disciples, went to Qingling City first and then arrived in Ye City, seven days had already passed.

Although the Ye Clan has declined somewhat, it is still the undisputed hegemon in its stronghold of Ye City.

However, when faced with the visit of Xiao Yan and Venerable Feng, the Ye Clan immediately displayed the highest level of welcoming etiquette. From the Space Wormhole platform in Ye City to the depths of the Ye Clan Estate, a long red carpet was laid out in the middle of the road, and the Ye Clan's high-ranking members, led by Ye Zhong, all waited outside the Space Wormhole.

This surprised many passersby.

But when they saw the prestigious Eighth-Grade Alchemist badge on Xiao Yan's chest, and some sharp-eyed people recognized Venerable Feng's identity, they immediately understood.

"Welcome, Young President and Venerable Feng, to the Ye Clan."

Ye Zhong's face was full of loyalty as he bowed respectfully.

"Elder Ye, there's no need for formalities. We can reminisce later. Now, please take me to the Ancient Sun Fire Altar immediately."

Xiao Yan did not intend to waste time on social interactions. Ye Xinlan was his disciple, and the Ye Clan was essentially his most loyal supporters. He did not need to waste his energy on such matters.

"Yes, Young President."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong simply nodded respectfully, clearly not finding anything wrong with Xiao Yan's words.

After all, even setting aside the fact that Xiao Yan needed to borrow the Ancient Sun Fire Altar, the Ye Clan still needed Xiao Yan's help to resolve the issue of the Ancient Sun Fire Altar.

After entering the Ye Clan without any obstacles, Xiao Yan and his group, guided by Ye Zhong, arrived at the Ancient Sun Fire Altar, the deepest part of the Ye Clan Estate.

This Ancient Sun Fire Altar exudes an ancient aura, and the giant stones used to build the altar are covered with traces of erosion from the passage of time.

Approaching the altar, Xiao Yan and his party discovered that the light here was exceptionally bright, and the closer they got to the altar, the hotter and purer the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth became.

Bright beams of light descended from the sky, reflected off the surrounding stone walls, and converged on a Black Stone Tablet at the center of the altar.

"Young President, beneath that stone tablet lies an Earth Eye leading deep into the earth. In the past, simply moving it would cause Heart Fire the earth's core to burst forth, igniting the sunlight gathered there to form Sun Fire, but..."

Looking at the ancient altar, Ye Zhong sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll handle this later. You can wait outside now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan waved his hand, signaling Ye Zhong step back.

Although the resurrection of Venerable Skyfire wasn't exactly a big secret, there was really no need for someone like Ye Zhong, who was unrelated to the matter, to stand by and watch.

Ye Zhong, being a sensible person, bowed respectfully upon seeing this and withdrew to wait outside the plaza where the altar was located.

Xiao Yan walked directly to the center of the altar and placed his hand on the black stone tablet that was bathed in sunlight.

From the stone tablet, Xiao Yan sensed a pure and supremely yang power.

"That's right, just as I expected. Reviving Senior Tian Huo here might even cause a mutation in his Tian Huo -Fire Attribute Dou Qi, or grant him the Supreme Yang Body."

Xiao Yan smiled and explained to his disciples beside him.

During the past few days of travel, he had already introduced his three disciples, as well as Venerable Feng and Mu Qingluan, to Venerable Skyfire.

After hearing about the Venerable Skyfire's strength in life, Venerable Feng treated him with great respect and even directly invited Venerable Skyfire to become a guest elder of the Starfall Pavilion if he wished after his resurrection, with all resources provided according to the standards of his position as deputy pavilion master.

Venerable Skyfire naturally knew that Venerable Feng's good brother was Venerable Yao, and that Starfall Pavilion would inevitably become Xiao Yan's territory in the future, so he also readily agreed.

In addition, during this week's journey, Xiao Yan also specially asked Venerable Skyfire to instruct his three junior disciples in the art of fire control.

After all, all three of them had refined the Fallen Heart Flame Sub-Flame that Xiao Yan had given them, and Venerable Skyfire happened to be one of the people who understood the Fallen Heart Flame best. In addition, with his terrifying Fire Energy of the Five Wheel Separation Fire Method, he was more than capable of guiding these three young girls.

Venerable Skyfire would naturally not refuse such a small matter, especially since his resurrection was imminent and he was so excited that he couldn't stay quietly in his Storage Ring. He simply came out to relieve his boredom.

"But..."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a bold idea.

The Earth Core Fire Bead contains extremely powerful fire-attribute energy. If it could be integrated into the Venerable Skyfire's body during the refining process, the Venerable Skyfire's aptitude might be greatly enhanced. Even if he cultivates normally and in accordance with the rules in the future, he would likely have the potential to become a saint.

If Xiao Yan were to provide additional medicinal pills, his future would be limitless.

"Venerable Skyfire, why don't you come out and bask in the sun?"

Xiao Yan tapped the snow-white Storage Ring on his hand with his finger and said with a smile.

"Hehe, this is indeed a good place."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Skyfire flew out of his Storage Ring, one hand supporting a skeleton, which was none other than his own remains.

It can only be said that Venerable Skyfire's methods are still too powerful. When Xiao Yan was in the Danta, he looked through some information, which recorded some major events in the Central Plains. After verifying with Venerable Skyfire, he found that this old man was actually a famous powerhouse from about four hundred years ago. In other words, he had been dead for four hundred years.

Having been dead for four hundred years, the essence of his bones remains intact, and his soul has not dissipated. Such a feat is not something an ordinary Dou Zun can possess.

Xiao Yan pushed aside the dark stone tablet and instantly activated the entire altar.

The surrounding stone walls slowly moved, eventually forming a circular stone wall that completely surrounded the altar and Xiao Yan and the others inside, creating a relatively enclosed space. From the outside, all that could be seen was a towering and ancient stone wall.

The spot where the stone tablet had originally been covering now revealed a pitch-black Earth Eye about the size of a head.

"Click-clack!"

As the circular stone wall took shape, it gradually became smooth, and more and more beams of light were reflected from the mirror-like stone wall, converging at the Earth Eye, creating a dazzling white light.

Although the sunlight gathered, not a single flame emerged from the Earth Eye; the so-called Sun Fire did not appear.

Ye Xinlan, standing to the side, also frowned, revealing a hint of worry.

The Venerable Skyfire, basking in the sun, felt warm all over and wore a contented smile.

Knowing what was going on, Xiao Yan went straight up, protected his soul power with his Heavenly Flames, and probed into the Earth Eye. After a moment, he found the Earth Core Fire Bead.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan used his soul power to capture the Earth Core Fire Bead and pulled it out.

As the Earth Core Fire Bead fell into Xiao Yan's Earth Core Fire Bead, the scorching fire-attribute energy that had been accumulating around it surged out directly from the Earth Eye.

Xiao Yan, however, was not flustered at all. Instead, he flashed and lay down at the Earth Eye.

Boom!

The impact of that energy was comparable to the full force of High-Stage Dou Zong expert. Even Xiao Yan almost couldn't withstand it and let out a muffled groan.

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed, and they immediately wanted to rush forward to help, but Xiao Yan directly waved his hand to stop them.

OK!

Such a vast and concentrated fire-attribute energy is just right to help him cultivate the Great Sun Separation Fire Body!

It took Xiao Yan a full half hour to absorb all the violent energy. After condensing a new set of robes with his Dou Qi, he finally stood up.

The violent fire-elemental energy had just struck his back, and the robes on his upper body were completely destroyed.

Fortunately, the alchemist level badge of the Pill Danta was made of a special material, so it was not damaged, but Xiao Yan still put it away.

"Tsk, now the problem of Sun Fire not being able to escape should be solved."

Xiao Yan looked at the Earth Eye, which had stopped gushing out violent energy, and casually used his Absorption Sucking Palm on Earth Eye.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a tiny wisp of blood-red flame shot out from the Earth Eye under Xiao Yan's control.

As soon as this wisp of fiery red flame appeared, it combined with the beam of light that had gathered above the Earth Eye. After a surge of energy, an extremely warm white flame appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Yan.

Although the flame was white, it was filled with countless tiny blood vessels that resembled veins, making it look like the blood vessels of the flame.

"Is this the Sun Fire?"

Xiao Yan looked at Ye Xinlan beside him.

Upon seeing the white flames, Ye Xinlan, dressed in a blue dress, could not hide her excitement and nodded quickly.

"Master, this is Sun Fire! You really solved the problem of the Ancient Sun Fire Altar for the Ye Clan!"

The little girl's face was filled with adoration; she wished she could jump up and throw herself into Xiao Yan's arms to kiss him on the cheek.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few people around, and she felt a little embarrassed, so she simply hugged Xiao Yan's arm, her eyes sparkling.

Xiao Yan had never been interested in young girls, so he simply smiled gently and stroked his eldest disciple's long, smooth hair.

"Alright, now you, Ying'er, and Chen'er, stand a little further away. Even though you're protected by the Fallen Heart Flame Sub-Flame, you'll still feel uncomfortable when I unleash my full power with this Heavenly Flames."

Hearing Xiao Yan's instructions, Ye Xinlan nodded obediently, and then stood at the edge of the altar with her two junior sisters.

"Senior Tian Huo, are you ready?"

Xiao Yan handed the jade box containing the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill to Venerable Skyfire and asked softly.

"I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

Venerable Skyfire grinned.

Xiao Yan smiled upon hearing this, casually took the skeleton handed over by Venerable Skyfire, and with a wave of his hand, used his soul power to control it to float in mid-air.

Xiao Yan once again merged all the flames within his body, and a bluish-green flame surged from his palm, enveloping the skeleton.

Then, with a flick of his finger, he cast the Earth Core Fire Bead into the part of the skeleton that should have been the heart.

The Sun Fire shone on the Earth Core Fire Bead, and wisps of tiny flames emerged from it, combining with the sunlight to transform into Sun Fire, which filled the skeleton's entire body. Under the restraint of Xiao Yan's terrifying soul power, the flames enveloped the skeleton's flesh, and a complete human shape could be vaguely seen.

"Senior Tian Huo, grant me a wisp of your soul power!"

Upon hearing this, a wisp of soul power immediately split off from between the brows of Venerable Skyfire and drifted toward Xiao Yan.

With a wave of his arm, Xiao Yan directly injected a wisp of his soul power into the humanoid body formed from flames.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, which contained the essence blood of an Eighth Tier fire-attribute magical beast provided by Xuan Kongzi.

When the essence blood was sprinkled into the fiery body, it immediately hissed. Under the terrifying high temperature of the bluish-green Heavenly Flames, the crimson blood was quickly roasted deep into the bones, turning it from a translucent white to a pale red.

"Senior Tian Huo, because your body doesn't have a physical form, you need to take the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill and then directly enter that fiery body. I will use my Heavenly Flames to help you fuse with the body, but this process is no different from tempering your body with Heavenly Flames, and it will be extremely painful. You must be able to endure it."

Xiao Yan looked at Venerable Skyfire and said with an extremely solemn expression.

"It's alright. I've already been killed by Heavenly Flames once, so I can still endure this much."

Venerable Skyfire calmly waved his hand, and then, at Xiao Yan's signal, swallowed the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill and flew into the fiery body.

The moment the Venerable Skyfire's soul entered the fiery body, the fiery body trembled violently. Light gradually gathered in the originally empty eye sockets, and the effects of the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill were activated, causing flesh and blood to grow out of thin air, filling the body that was originally just filled with flames.

"Senior Tian Huo, hold on!"

Watching the rapidly growing flesh and blood tissue within the flames, Xiao Yan gave a deep shout, and the cyan flames, under his control, instantly raised the temperature to their extreme.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, the newly grown flesh and blood tissue was completely burned to ashes.

But as soon as the ashes dissipated, the medicinal power of the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill erupted once again. This repeated dozens of times, and even with the scorching heat of the Heavenly Flames, the newly grown flesh and blood appeared on the fiery body without any reduction.

This process took a full five hours. Under Xiao Yan's refinement, the Earth Core Fire Bead also combined with the Venerable Skyfire's newly formed flesh and blood, transforming into a crimson heart. With each beat, it seemed to burst forth with flames, spreading throughout his entire body.

However, to Xiao Yan's surprise, after the Venerable Skyfire's body was fully formed, it did not present the aged image of a soul body, but rather a handsome man with a white flame mark between his eyebrows.

The fire seal resembled Sun Fire; although it was predominantly white, it had several simple, delicate red filaments, making it look exceptionally mysterious.

At this point, the work of refining the body is considered complete. Next, it is time to wait for Venerable Skyfire to complete the final fusion with this fiery body, which was refined based on the Earth Core Fire Bead.

Then, this Venerable Skyfire, who was also considered a genius in his time, was able to truly be reborn from the ashes!

With his own original skeleton, the essence blood of an Eighth Tier fire-attribute magical beast, the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill of the Six-Colored Pill Lightning, the powerful Heavenly Flames formed by the fusion of five half Heavenly Flames tempering his body, the Earth Core Fire Bead containing a huge amount of fire-attribute energy as his heart, and the environment of the Ancient Sun Fire Altar, a place of extreme Yang, the Venerable Skyfire's resurrection this time will surely greatly increase his strength!

Xiao Yan looked at his masterpiece and smiled with great satisfaction.

According to his calculations, after Venerable Skyfire is resurrected, he will probably be able to directly reach the level of a seven-star or even Eight-Star Dou Zun.

This is an extremely powerful asset for Xiao Yan.

It would take quite a while, but he didn't intend to wait there.

He's going back to the Northwest Continent.
