Having found the Heavenly Fire Venerable and the Juvenile Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Yan had no intention of lingering in the Magma World.
With the soul coordinates on the Heavy Xuan Ruler guiding him, Xiao Yan soon returned to the spot where he had entered.
The Heavenly Fire Venerable let out a long sigh and floated out of the snow-white Storage Ring.
Looking around, he said wistfully, "At last, I can see the outside world again!"
Just then, the Fallen Heart Flame circling above the magma suddenly caught his eye, and a trace of nostalgia flashed through his gaze.
"Old friend, it's been a long time!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yan spread his hands. "The Fallen Heart Flame now belongs to Jia Nan Academy. It provides heart flame for the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower."
"Jia Nan Academy?" Curiosity flickered in the Heavenly Fire Venerable's eyes at the name.
Clearly, Jia Nan Academy was entirely unfamiliar to him.
Xiao Yan was not surprised. Jia Nan Academy only had two or three hundred years of history.
Nor had the original story mentioned any connection between the Heavenly Fire Venerable and Jia Nan Academy.
Thus, the Heavenly Fire Venerable must have been a powerful expert who existed before Jia Nan Academy was founded.
After briefly introducing Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Yan flew toward the enormous opening through which he had entered.
He soon reached the exit.

"Which elders of Jia Nan Academy are guarding the barrier? This is Xiao Yan. Please open it
