Tower Closure

Upon hearing Su Qian's words, Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. "A fragmentary scroll is fine too; I'm not picky!"

"Most of the Formation in the academy were left behind by the dean to seal the Fallen Heart Flame."

Su Qian continued speaking, and her words confirmed Qin Yu's earlier guess.

"However, I remember that years ago, the academy wiped out a force in the Black-Corner Region and obtained a fragment of Formation from them."

"Back then, I was only at the Dou Huang Realm, and the academy didn't really care about that kind of thing, but it was still considered spoils of war, so I kept it."

After saying that, Su Qian suddenly paused for a moment, then stood up and paced back and forth in the room, as if she had suddenly thought of something very serious.

"What's wrong?"

"I... I don't think I remember where I put it. It's been so many years, it might take some time to find it."

When Qin Yu asked, Su Qian responded somewhat awkwardly.

After he finished speaking, he intended to find the Formation in the tattered scroll and hand it over to Qin Yu directly.

But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that he couldn't remember where he had put it at all...

Over the years, many things have changed in the college.

He was certain the item wasn't lost, but he wasn't sure exactly where it was.

"... Then I'll wait a little longer, as long as the item is there."

Qin Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated; it seemed that there weren't many people studying formations Formation all.

A few days later, Su Qian's Summoning Order spread throughout both the inner and outer courtyards.

The elders of the Inner Academy, Hu Gan, the vice Outer Academy, and others arrived one after another to gather in front of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Normally, the area around this black stone tower is always bustling with people, but today it is cordoned off, and ordinary students are not allowed to get close.

When Qin Yu and Yun Yun arrived, there were already seven or eight people standing in front of the tower.

Hu Gan stood on the far side. When he saw Qin Yu, he was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Qian cleared her throat and introduced them to the crowd:

"This is Qin Yu, whom I'm sure you're all familiar with."

"The person next to me is Sect Master Yun Yun of the Misty Cloud Sect of the Jia Ma Empire. She has been invited to assist in reinforcing the seal."

All eyes turned to Qin Yu and Yun Yun, their expressions varying. They were all familiar with the name Qin Yu.

After all, with Qin Yu's breakthrough speed, it's hard not to leave an impression.

Moreover, this child later left behind so many high-level pills for the academy, and upon entering the Black-Corner Region, he killed two Dou Wang from the Blood Sect.

But the Qin Yu of the past was a completely different person compared to the burly, powerful Nine-Star Dou Emperor before us today.

If we absolutely have to point out any commonalities...

His partners are all quite good-looking; I don't know where this guy gets such good fortune.

"Both are Nine-Star Dou Emperor... they're quite a good match."

Hu Gan muttered something in a low voice, but the elders next to him heard it clearly and nodded in agreement.

Su Qian didn't give everyone much time for gossip and went straight to the point, explaining the plan to reinforce the seal once again.

The core Formation that seals the Fallen Heart Flame was left behind by Mang Tianchi, the former dean of the Jia Nan Academy.

Using spatial power as a foundation, the Fallen Heart Flame was suppressed within the Magma World at the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower through Formation.

Now that Mang Tianchi is gone, the only one who can barely activate that spatial power is Su Qian, who has reached the Dou Zong realm.

Su Qian was responsible for activating and manipulating the Space Lock within the Formation, while the other elders channeled their Dou Qi into the chains for support.

With more people, there is greater strength; the more abundant the Dou Qi, the longer the seal can be maintained.

Su Qian had already informed him and Yun Yun about this matter a couple of days ago.

However, what Qin Yu cared about was not the sealing Formation, but the spatial power within Formation.

One of the hallmarks of Dou Zong powerhouse is the ability to initially manipulate the power of space.

This time, assisting in reinforcing the seal and getting up close to the spatial Formation left by Mang Tianchi might allow Qin Yu to comprehend some spatial power.

This will undoubtedly be a great thing for him to break through to the Dou Zong in the future.

"Did you all understand?"

Su Qian glanced at everyone.

"Then let's get ready to start work."

Qin Yu nodded, his gaze falling on the black stone tower, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

At Su Qian's signal, an order was issued from the Inner Academy.

The Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower is now closed.

As soon as the news came out, the students in the Inner Academy gathered in twos and threes to discuss it.

Many people wore expressions of confusion and dissatisfaction, especially the freshmen who had just entered the Inner Academy.

They had just tasted the benefits of cultivating in the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, so why was the tower suddenly closed?

"Why did the tower suddenly close? Isn't it usually announced in advance when the tower closes?"

In the freshmen dormitory area, in a small building, Xiao Yan and the members of the Pan's Gate he founded sat together, also wondering about this.

"Cousin, you're familiar with those teachers, do you know what's going on?"

Xiao Yu is here too, but her dormitory isn't here.

Having already reached the Dou Ling realm, Xiao Yu is now more like a reserve teacher or elder than Inner Academy student.

Xiao Yu shook her head at Xiao Yan's question:

"This was really sudden. I asked a few senior students, and they said they had never heard of such a thing before."

Hu Jia crossed her arms and pouted, saying:

"Who cares why it's closed? If we can't get in, we'll do something else. It's good that you, the sect leader, are rarely seen; it's time for you to take charge of Pan's Gate's affairs."

Xiao Yan didn't reply, but he felt something was off.

Just then, the Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"Xiao Yan, find a way to get close to the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower."

Xiao Yan was taken aback at first, then replied:

"Teacher, you're not joking, are you? The academy has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to approach the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, and violators will be punished."

"I don't need to get too close, just enough for my soul power to sense what's happening over there."

"I think... this closure of the tower is most likely related to the Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower."

The last time Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao speak with such solemnity was when they encountered the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame in the Magic Beast Mountains, so he immediately agreed.

"OK."

Then, he turned to Xun'er and Hu Jia and said:

"I have something to attend to, I'll be going now."

"Hey? Where are you going?"

Hu Jia called out from behind.

Xiao Yan waved his hand, offered no explanation, and quickly left.

"Hey! You damn sect leader! Are you really addicted to being a hands-off manager?!"

"Xun'er, look at him! Aren't you going to do anything about this?!"

Hu Jia was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She could only turn to Xun'er to complain, and even wanted to take the opportunity to pounce on Xun'er and get close to her.

Xiao Yan is such a jerk!

"Forget it, Brother Xiao Yan must have something important to do."

Hu Jia sighed helplessly; this girl was hopeless.

On the other side, Xiao Yan had found a relatively secluded spot and whispered to Yao Lao:

"Teacher, is this okay?"
