Chapter 180: Five-Wheel Fire Separation Method
After receiving Xiao Ling's affirmative answer, Skyfire Venerable laughed loudly, and the laughter continued to echo in this empty space, "Haha, thank you very much, young friend. Young friend is so young and has such a broad mind and responsibility. Your future achievements will definitely be limitless."
Xiao Ling smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Senior. I will work hard and live up to your expectations."
Afterwards, Venerable Skyfire chatted with Xiao Ling for a while, and his words revealed his nostalgia for the past years.
While the two were chatting, Skyfire Reverend asked Xiao Ling curiously,
"Friend Xiao Ling, you want to take away my juvenile Fallen Heart Flame. Are you planning to merge the two Fallen Heart Flames into one?"
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, but did not answer directly, "What do you mean by this, Senior?"
Venerable Skyfire sighed softly, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes:
"It was because I attempted to fuse the two Fallen Heart Flames into one that I was severely injured and attacked back. In the end, I was ambushed by those strange Fire Lizardmen in the magma world, and ended up like this."
Xiao Ling's brows raised slightly. He could feel the heaviness and regret contained in Lord Skyfire's words.
He asked curiously: "Senior, can you tell me in detail what happened back then?"
Reverend Skyfire nodded and began to slowly recount the experience that was buried deep in his heart:
"At that time, I was already a Dou Zun-level warrior and had successfully subdued a Fallen Heart Flame. When I found another young Fallen Heart Flame, I was confident that I could fuse them together to gain even greater power. However, I never expected that the power and spirituality of the Fallen Heart Flame were so difficult to control. During the fusion process, they had a violent conflict, and not only did they fail to fuse successfully, but they also triggered a strong backlash."
"The backlash caused me serious injuries. Fortunately, I interrupted the fusion of the two Fallen Heart Flames in time, and barely saved my life. But I didn't expect that not long after, I was besieged by the group of Fire Lizardmen. There were so many of them, and I was seriously injured, so my fighting ability was not as good as before, which eventually led to my death..."
After finishing the narration, Skyfire Venerable looked at Xiao Ling, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes: "My dear Xiao Ling, the reason why I told you this story is that I hope you can learn from it and not repeat my mistakes. Although the power of the Fallen Heart Flame is strong, the risk of fusing them is equally huge."
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, with a hint of firmness in his tone: "Senior, don't worry. I have no intention of fusing the two Fallen Heart Flames. I have other uses for this strange fire."
The technique "Burning Technique" that Xiao Ling practiced does have the unique ability to devour strange fire and enhance oneself.
But Xiao Ling had already prepared this larval form of Fallen Heart Flame for Canaan College, and he had no intention of fusing it.
In addition, Xiao Ling knew clearly in his heart that this larval Fallen Heart Flame could not provide much energy boost for him personally today.
Now that Xiao Ling has entered the Dou Zong realm, the amount of energy required to increase his cultivation by one star has increased significantly. Even if he devours this nascent Fallen Heart Flame, his cultivation can only increase by one star at most.
Furthermore, even if the Fallen Heart Flame of this young organism was devoured, the quality of the Burning Art would probably not be improved.
The Fallen Heart Flame that he had already subdued was able to increase his cultivation speed and refine his fighting spirit, which was enough to meet his current needs.
Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhuo's eyes flashed with praise: "I am very pleased that my young friend has such a plan. You can wisely choose the path that suits you, rather than blindly pursuing power. This is what a strong person should do." After he finished speaking, he smiled slightly, then waved his hand lightly, and a snow-white storage ring next to the skeleton flew lightly into his palm.
With a light touch of his hand, a pale white scroll slowly emerged, with lifelike paintings of birds and beasts surrounded by flames on it.
“This scroll records a high-level earth-level fighting skill called the Five-Wheel Fire Method. It is a unique skill that made me fearless in the past. It is not only a fighting skill, but also contains the supreme method of controlling fire.” Skyfire Venerable gently pushed the scroll towards Xiao Ling, with a hint of pride in his voice.
"This spell is divided into five levels, and each level corresponds to a spirit beast, namely wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon. Each level has its own unique fire spirit power. If you can integrate the power of these five beasts, you can set up a five-wheel fire formation, which is powerful enough to evaporate the sea and burn the sky."
The Skyfire Venerable looked at Xiao Ling with a sharp gaze and continued, "If four of the five beasts are formed by the condensation of strange fire, then the power of this Five-Wheel Fire Method will be close to the Heaven-level fighting skills. I think you should be a leader among alchemists. This method will undoubtedly be even more powerful for you. Just consider it my gift to you."
Xiao Ling took the scroll with both hands, feeling the depth and heat contained in it. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He bowed to Skyfire Venerable and said with a smile:
"I am deeply grateful for your generous gift. This Five-Wheeled Fire Separation Technique is indeed a rare treasure to me."
Touching his somewhat transparent beard, Skyfire Venerable responded with a smile:
"My friend, you don't have to be so polite. Although this Five-Wheel Fire Separation Technique is precious, it is nothing compared to your ability to help me fulfill my wish of resurrection. It is the best destination for it to be passed on to you today."
After saying this, Skyfire Venerable raised his hand lightly, and the juvenile's Fallen Heart Flame slowly rose from beside the skeleton and finally fell into his palm.
He carefully picked up the Fallen Heart Flame as if it were a priceless treasure, and handed it to Xiao Ling: "My friend, this is what we agreed on before, please accept it."
Xiao Ling took out a fire gathering pot from his storage ring. He had specially requested this fire gathering pot from Elder Su Qian before. It would come in handy for collecting and storing the larval body's Fallen Heart Flame.
He reached out to take the Fallen Heart Flame and carefully guided it into the Fire Pot.
As soon as the Fallen Heart Flame entered the Fire Gathering Pot, it was bound by the special space inside and burned quietly without any restlessness.
A faint temperature was rising, and Xiao Ling could clearly feel that an invisible wave was quietly spreading out.
Being extremely familiar with the Fallen Heart Flame, he naturally knew that this invisible wave was exactly what the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower needed.
Xiao Ling closed the lid of the pot and felt the stable fluctuations coming from the fire-gathering pot. A stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
All the set goals of this journey deep into the underground magma world were finally successfully completed.
