Chapter 94 Conquering the Fallen Heart Flame
In the magma world, Xiao Yun sat cross-legged and suspended in the air, his mind sinking into his soon as the Fallen Heart Flame entered the body, it immediately erupted with a terrifyingly high temperature. At this temperature, even though Xiao Yun's body had absorbed the strange fire once, he could not withstand it.
The intelligent little snake born from the Fallen Heart Flame had originally been knocked unconscious by him, but the moment it entered his body, it was awakened again, with a fierce look in its pupils, and it rushed through the meridians in its body.
"Ok?"
Seeing that the Fallen Heart Flame refused to submit, Xiao Yun's mind moved, and the green thunder in his lower abdomen received the order. The lightning flashed and instantly passed through the meridians in his body and came in front of the little fire snake.
The Fallen Heart Flame was about to escape, but its speed was no match for the thunder. Before it could move, Xiao Yun had already controlled the green thunder to wrap it up and trapped it in an area of meridians.
"I know you can understand human words. If you just let me subdue you, I won't erase your intelligence. How about that?" Seeing the fear in the little snake's pupils, Xiao Yun's mind moved, and he transmitted the message through his soul.
To tame the strange fire, especially the strange fire that has given birth to intelligence, is neither difficult nor easy.
The difficulty lies in its intelligence. If it resists, the conqueror can only spend a lot of fighting spirit and energy to erode the intelligence of the fire and turn it into its original state. The simplicity also lies in its intelligence. If the conqueror can make the fire spirit sincerely convinced, then the conquering process will be twice as effective with half the effort and very smooth.
Just like the ancient race's inherited fire, the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, the Soul Emperor's fire, the Void Devouring Flame, they all obeyed the conqueror. The former was conquered by Gu Xun'er when he was fighting, and the latter even divided billions of fires to provide for the Soul Clan to use.
That's why Xiao Yun sent a soul message to Fallen Heart Flame. He could directly erase its intelligence, but such a way of conquering it would not achieve the maximum benefit.
"grumble!"
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, the little fire snake's eyes became fiercer and it twisted its body, trying to escape the blockade of the blue thunder.
"Humph!"
Xiao Yun was not surprised to see the actions of the Fallen Heart Flame. After all, they were fighting for their lives before, and it was unlikely that it would obey immediately. With a move of his soul power, the blue thunder immediately transformed into a thunder dragon, which directly wrapped around the little fire snake tightly.
Streams of green lightning gushed out from the Thunder Dragon's body and immediately penetrated into the little fire snake, just like tree roots deep in the soil, constantly absorbing energy from it.
As the energy in the body drained away, the Fallen Heart Flame also sensed the danger and immediately began to violently tumble, as if trying to throw the Thunder Dragon off, but to no avail. Under Xiao Yun's mental control, the more the flame snake tumbled, the tighter the Thunder Dragon shrank.
After a moment, the Fallen Heart Flame, realizing that it could not break free, finally stopped churning. The fierce light in its snake pupils disappeared, and turned into a trace of fear. At the same time, a wave of flame emanated from its body.
Sensing this fluctuation, Xiao Yun realized that the Fallen Heart Flame must have been tamed by him, and immediately stopped the erosion of the green thunder, but the Thunder Dragon still tightly bound the little fire snake.
Now that the Fallen Heart Flame has become obedient, the work of taming it has been half successful. Xiao Yun now only needs to let it travel through a large circle according to the trajectory of the technique, and then lead it into the Na Ling to successfully tame it.
"Be good, I will help you grow in the future." The soul power surged out, and after drawing a big picture for the Fallen Heart Flame, it controlled it to wander in the meridians.
Perhaps because it has intelligence, the Fallen Heart Flame did not disperse throughout the body, but remained in the shape of a small snake. Therefore, Xiao Yun did not have to go around collecting the scattered Heart Flames. This time, it was much easier to subdue it than the first time.
The underground magma world returned to complete calm as Xiao Yun began to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame. The only movement was the occasional layers of heat waves surging from the magma river below.
……
Time passed slowly, and at a certain moment, the Fallen Heart Flame inside Xiao Yun's body finally merged perfectly with his soul, and was then sucked into the Na Ling in his lower abdomen.
The young man slowly opened his eyes, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. He felt that his strength was constantly increasing, as if he had a whole new life.
After calling up the panel, Xiao Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he found that his age had only become seventeen. This meant that it did not take him too much time to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame. Presumably, the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower above could still speed up his cultivation, but the effect might be weakened.
"Master Yao, I have successfully subdued the Fallen Heart Flame." Xiao Yun smiled faintly and raised his hand. An invisible fire appeared at his fingertips. The magma below also began to riot with the appearance of the flames.
At this moment, he seemed to have become the master of fire, able to control the Fallen Heart Flame at will. With a slight wave of his hand, the Fallen Heart Flame transformed into a small snake, hovering in the air.
Hearing this, Yao Lao emerged from the Bone Flame Ring, looked at the docile little flame snake, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are right. Not erasing the intelligence of the strange fire can indeed make it easier to subdue it."
"Back then, it took me a whole year to subdue the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and erode its intelligence. The subsequent subjugation almost cost me my life. If I hadn't prepared enough elixirs, I would have really died there."
"But why do you have the aura of a nine-star Douhuang? According to my calculations, even if you absorb some of the energy of the strange fire, you should be able to break through to the Douzong level."
Xiao Yun smiled slightly, and the little flame snake suddenly exploded into a giant flame python, emitting a terrifying aura. He said in a calm tone: "That's because I didn't absorb its energy. The Fallen Heart Flame has accumulated energy for thousands of years, and it also has spiritual intelligence, which is enough for it to burst out with the strength of a Dou Zong."
"My current cultivation level is improving too fast, and my foundation may be a little unstable. I will break through to Dou Zong after I solidify my Dou Qi."
Anyway, for him, energy is enough to break through to the Dou Zong level, and he doesn’t even need the Dou Zong Pill.
Because the Po Zong Dan does not provide Dou Qi energy, but instead protects the entire body with medicinal power. If the breakthrough fails, these medicinal powers can also protect the meridians throughout the body from the backlash of Dou Qi.
As he has a panel without a bottleneck, he only needs to take the Huangji Pill that provides Dou Qi energy. When the Dou Qi in his body reaches the standard of breaking through Dou Zong, he will automatically enter the Dou Zong level.
However, he couldn't eat it now, because his internal cultivation had broken through too quickly. In just one year, he had jumped from a five-star Dou Huang to a nine-star Dou Huang, and was even about to break through to the Dou Zong level.
The Dou Qi that has been broken through in this way is too superficial. It may be okay to bully some Dou Huangs, but if you encounter a Dou Zong of the same level, you will only be beaten.
After all, the Dou Qi in other people's bodies is like sand, while the Dou Qi in Xiao Yun's body is all water. No matter in quality or quantity, it cannot compare to other Dou Zongs.
"Yes, you are right." After hearing Xiao Yun's explanation, Yao Lao also remembered the former's progress in cultivation, and slowly said: "It is true that you can't break through directly, otherwise with your current state of fighting spirit, you will most likely fail to break through to the Dou Zong level." Old man, you have the wrong idea. I'm not worried that I will fail to break through.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yun skipped the topic. With a wave of his hand, the giant flaming python disappeared, and instead, an invisible small snake appeared in the air, hissing at him, its eyes constantly looking down.
"Yao Lao, Fallen Heart Flame told me that something is calling it from the magma below."
"Oh? Summoning strange fire? Could it be the same as the Azure Lotus that is the companion of your Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire? Does it also have a companion?"
No! It's another Fallen Heart Flame, but I can't tell you directly.
"Maybe." Xiao Yun nodded slightly. A green thunder was shot out by him, and a trace of soul mark was attached to it, marking this location.
"I want to go down and take a look, Yao Lao, would you like to come with me?"
“Haha, I have never seen a situation where a strange fire is summoned, so of course I have to go together.” As Yao Lao said this, his body turned into a stream of light and went back into the Bone Inflammation Ring.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun's mind moved slightly, and the invisible flames suddenly surged, completely enveloping his body. Then with a "plop", he plunged into the viscous magma river.
Entering the magma again, the little fire snake swam happily like a fish entering the sea. After a while, its little head paused slightly, and finally aimed at the depths below and swooped down suddenly.
Xiao Yun moved his body and used his majestic fighting spirit to isolate himself from the scorching temperature and pressure, then quickly followed.
"Be careful, there is a strange aura!" Suddenly, Yao Lao warned. His soul power had already sensed that two strange and powerful auras were approaching them rapidly.
"I saw it. They can't catch up." Xiao Yun turned his head and looked in one direction. There were two figures diving down. Their bodies were red, the same as the surrounding magma. If you only looked with the naked eye, it would be hard to detect.
The crimson body was covered with red scales, and on its round head were a pair of tiny fierce eyes. Its huge mouth was slightly open, revealing densely packed sharp teeth.
Looking down, I saw a tail about two meters long swinging back and forth, and its feet were standing upright, with huge paws as well.
The two figures look like two huge upright fiery red lizards.
"What kind of creature is this? It can actually survive in magma?" The knowledgeable Yao Lao did not recognize it at first. From the appearance, this thing looked neither like a human nor a monster. It was definitely a new species in the Douqi Continent.
"I don't know either, let's just call them Lizardmen!" Xiao Yun said as a layer of green lightning appeared on his body. His speed suddenly increased and he left the Lizardmen behind in just an instant.
After a moment, the Lizardman was completely thrown away, and the speed of the Falling Heart Flame gradually weakened. With a glance, he saw a transparent bubble-like light shield appear in front of Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun was delighted and grabbed the Fallen Heart Flame. Then he rushed down like lightning and came to the transparent light shield. Then he wrapped his whole body with the Fallen Heart Flame and passed through it without any hindrance.
When passing through the transparent light shield, a strange wave came over, but the moment it came into contact with the Fallen Heart Flame, it quickly dissipated, and then Xiao Yun successfully came to the space inside.
This transparent light shield can isolate the external magma. After entering it, the red color fades away and a misty fog shrouds the space in the light shield.
"It seems that this is the thing that calls upon the Fallen Heart Flame." Xiao Yun glanced casually, and then looked at the central position in the light shield space. There was a mysterious skeleton, and on top of the skeleton, there was a young Fallen Heart Flame!
“Tsk tsk tsk, this place is really unique. It can actually grow two Fallen Heart Flames.” Yao Lao also emerged from the Bone Flame Ring, stroking his beard and saying, “But this Fallen Heart Flame is only in its juvenile stage, while yours is in its mature stage.”
"You agree, right? Friend."
As soon as the words fell, a bright white light suddenly burst out from the mysterious skeleton, and then the white light slowly squirmed, and finally turned into an illusory figure of an old man.
The figure was wearing a white robe, his hair and beard were snow-white, his face was old, and his eyes were dull but with a faint gleam of light. As soon as this illusory figure appeared, a sense of oppression enveloped the space in the light shield.
“Haha, that’s right, it’s definitely not as good as the one in his hand.” The illusory figure glanced at the little flame snake, with an indescribable look in his eyes, and said slowly: “My name is Yao Tianhuo, and others also call me the Venerable Tianhuo!”
"My apologies, it turns out you are Venerable Skyfire." Xiao Yun and Yao Lao both clasped their hands to show respect to Dou Zun. Then Yao Lao said, "My name is Yao Chen, and others used to call me Venerable Yao. His name is Xiao Yun, so he can be considered my junior."
"Medicine Venerable?" Yao Tianhuo lowered his head in deep thought. After a moment, he said calmly, "Perhaps this old man has been trapped here for too long, and his soul memory has been lost too much. There is no such person as Medicine Venerable in his memory."
"It's not that I lost my memory, but I am younger than you." Yao Lao smiled and said slowly: "In the past, I was only a Douhuang. When I traveled around the continent, I had already heard of the name of Skyfire Venerable."
"I see." Yao Tianhuo nodded, and then said with a fiery look in his eyes: "I see that you are a soul body like me, but your soul power has not been lost at all. It must be because of the young man next to you?"
"My current condition is quite dangerous. My soul has long been consumed, and only a trace of residual soul mark remains. So I think..."
"Senior, you want me to help you repair your soul?" Xiao Yun smiled slightly, took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Senior, there is no need to say more. As long as you are willing to give this young Fallen Heart Flame to me, I will help you repair your soul and take you away from here."
Although he could directly rob it, Xiao Yun still preferred to trade it. After all, Yao Tianhuo was also very loyal in the original novel. If he helped him repair his soul and refine his body, he would be a Dou Zun-level fighter in the future.
"Not only that, I also have a method of resurrection, which I can share with Venerable Tianhuo. How about it?" Yao Lao also added an assist.
"resurrection?!"
After hearing the method of resurrection, Yao Tianhuo's eyes flashed with light and his breathing became rapid!
