Venerable Tian Huo

It's only a matter of time before he expends his Dou Qi, and soon he'll have to let Cailin take over, because he needs to conserve some Dou Qi for unforeseen circumstances. Of course, he could also take Cailin back to the Pocket World to recover his Dou Qi first...

A series of thoughts flashed through Lin Qing's mind. He glanced at the rapidly flying Fallen Heart Flame ahead and couldn't help but sigh softly. This time, it seemed that things were still a bit rushed.

I sensed the Soul Mark attached to the Dragon-Phoenix Sword behind me. Fortunately, it provided a coordinate, otherwise, getting lost would have been troublesome.

Fortunately, after a short while, the rapidly drifting Fallen Heart Flame suddenly slowed down.

Lin Qing looked around. It was still a crimson world, and it didn't seem to be the end of this Magma Sea.

It was still that dark red lava, but upon closer inspection, it faintly revealed a chilling blackness, leaving one forever wondering what lay at the very depths of the earth.

Just then, a faint flame poured down from the Fallen Heart Flame, illuminating a patch of lava not far below like a lamppost. Immediately, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The magma began to slowly undulate, and then a transparent halo emitting a faint glow emerged from the magma vortex.

"This is?! A small, independent space! Could this be the place you mentioned where the soul resides?" Cailin eyes narrowed, and then, with a clench of her hand, a long sword materialized in her grasp. At the same time, all the Dou Qi within her body was mobilized, and she looked at the scene before her with a somewhat wary expression.

"This should be the burial place of the former owner of the Fallen Heart Flame."

Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise.

Under their watchful eyes, the faint, transparent halo finally emerged completely from the lava. Since the halo was transparent, it did not obstruct their view.

Where their eyes fell was a skeleton that had turned into white bones. The skeleton emitted a faint glow, and a flame floated on it. The flame was completely transparent, as if it were invisible.

This is a nascent Fallen Heart Flame, only the size of a head. The temperature emanating from it is less than that of the one Lin Qing gave to the academy, and far less than that of the one he refined.

Of course, even in its infancy, it has all the necessary functions, and it would still be a treasure in the outside world, something that countless people would fight tooth and nail to acquire.

Lin Qing was also somewhat surprised to see what was happening before him, because with the Spatial Ancestral Talisman he had obtained, he was certain that Old Man Tian Huo had decided to hold back his true strength.

The fact that this small space has existed deep within this magma for so long is something that an ordinary Dou Venerable could not accomplish.

To be able to create such a sturdy small space with a severely injured body, and for his soul to remain for so long, this guy must have already reached the Spirit-Realm Soul, and his cultivation must have already begun on the path to Nine Revolutions Sanctification.

"How come there's another Fallen Heart Flame here?!" Cailin felt a little dizzy at this moment. Then she looked at Lin Qing with some suspicion. Could the little man in front of her have some special luck? He himself has several kinds of Heavenly Flames that even Alchemist outside the world can hardly obtain in their entire lives, and he has also encountered so many kinds.

Because she needed to evolve with Heavenly Flames, she had some understanding of Heavenly Flames. Although this Heavenly Flames was not as good as the one Lin Qing had just refined, it was still Heavenly Flames after all.

The formation of Heavenly Flames is extremely difficult, requiring the accumulation of countless years. This invisible fire, which doesn't seem particularly fierce, has probably existed for quite some time. It's just that it's puzzling why two identical Heavenly Flames would appear in the same place. This bizarre scene is something Cailin has never heard of before!

"Let's go in first! There's a special race in this magma." Lin Qing pulled Cailin directly into the light circle.

As they passed through the light circle, a wave of soul seemed to sweep across them. However, when this wave came into contact with the Fallen Heart Flame on their bodies, it quickly and quietly dissipated, and Lin Qing and the other person successfully entered the light circle.

As the two entered the light circle, the surrounding magma immediately began to writhe again, then slowly rotated. The light circle disappeared into this Magma World, and where it disappeared, there was no trace whatsoever, as if it had never existed at all.

Of course, this disappearance is merely a spatial concealment, which can be perceived once one reaches a certain level of understanding.

"What's next?" Cailin asked.

"Of course, it's to collect the Heavenly Flames!" Lin Qing chuckled, and with a flick of his hand, the nascent Fallen Heart Flame on the thigh bone fell directly into Lin Qing's hand. Then, without waiting for the nascent Fallen Heart Flame to react, he put it directly into his Storage Space.

After finishing everything, Lin Qing saw that the Tian Huo had not yet appeared, so he looked at the skeleton in front of him and said:

"Hehe, senior, aren't you going to show yourself? If you don't, we're leaving!"

As soon as the words fell, a burst of white light suddenly erupted from the skeleton. This unexpected change caused Cailin to raise her sword, ready to attack, but Lin Qing quickly grabbed her other hand.

The white light slowly coalesced into a human shape, and when the light dissipated, a clear human figure appeared before the two.

The figure was dressed in a white robe, with snow-white hair and beard. His face was aged, and a faint glint of light flickered in his calm eyes. As soon as this illusory figure appeared, a pressure of soul power spread out.

The Spirit-Realm Soul was lying after all! It seems its cultivation level is fake too! Lin Qing sensed a spirituality emanating from this soul; how could such an existence be just an ordinary Dou Venerable!

"Oh!"

Lin Qing raised his arm, and an even more terrifying soul pressure emanated from his body!

"Greetings, young friends. I am Yao Tianhuo, also known as Venerable Tian Huo. I have just awakened and have not yet been able to control my soul fluctuations!" The illusory figure hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting to Lin Qing and his companion.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing knew it was just a test, but he still withdrew his soul pressure.

"Venerable One?!" Cailin was somewhat surprised. The remnant soul in front of him looked very strong, but in reality, it was very weak. It seemed that he could be easily shattered with a little force. No wonder this guy didn't appear immediately.

Why did the Venerable One perish here?! And in such a miserable state?

"That's right!" Venerable Tian Huo looked at Lin Qing and smiled, "This young friend has very strong Soul Power!"

"Greetings Venerable Tian Huo! I am Lin Qing, Three-Star Dou Emperor with Spirit-Realm Soul, and a Seventh-Grade Alchemist!" Lin Qing cupped his hands in greeting to Venerable Tian Huo.

He still respected Tian Huo, who was honest and not some evil cultivator; otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically called him out.

Upon hearing this, Tian Huo's pupils contracted slightly. Spirit-Realm Soul, Seventh-Grade Alchemist —to reach this level at such a young age, one must be extraordinary, perhaps not one of those few clans!

Even among those races, such talent is terrifying!
