Episode 85

In order to raise his strength,

Xiao Yan entered the underground magma world to cultivate.

The Fallen Heart Flame within his body, as if being summoned, led him to venture deeper into the magma.

Who knew that Xiao Yan would be unexpectedly met with encirclement by flame lizard people in the magma depths.

During the intense fight,

the Fallen Heart Flame within Xiao Yan’s body resonated yet again,

guiding him to a mysterious aperture isolated from the outside world.

Having resolutely fallen into the aperture,

what kinds of opportunities will Xiao Yan obtain in this place?

This is...

Fallen Heart Flame?

Could it be that the summoning I felt earlier originated from it?

It’s a pity,

this kind of infant Heavenly Flame isn’t of much use to the Flame Mantra’s evolution.

As long as it had this thing,

that Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower could be reopened anew,

completely resolving the problem of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower running dry.

I can also then head for the Central Plains with peace of mind.

Your Honor, who are you?

Quiet down, little child.

The old me isn’t hard of hearing, you know.

This smell...

Fallen Heart Flame?

You captured the Fallen Heart Flame?

He was actually able to see the Fallen Heart Flame inside my body with a single glance?

I didn’t know Old Sir was here; this little one presumptuously barged in.

Please forgive me.

Old Sir, what is the meaning of this?

Obviously, the Fallen Heart Flame has already been completely refined by me.

Why is it still so obedient towards him?

It’s my little baby, you see.

Although you’ve refined it,

in my hands, it still feels the same as back then.

Old Sir, stop playing with me.

When I first captured the Fallen Heart Flame,

I never once sensed that it had an owner.

Of course you couldn’t sense it.

That’s because before I was about to die, I freed it.

Seems like these words of his shouldn’t be false.

This old fellow won’t take back the Fallen Heart Flame, right?

If that really is the case, I can only go all out.

Rest assured.

The old me won’t snatch your Fallen Heart Flame.

This kid’s body carries a slight trace of wood Qi.

Presumably, he’s an alchemist?

If...

Not only this,

the old me can also gift this infant Fallen Heart Flame to you.

What does he mean by this?

Not even the infant Fallen Heart Flame can move him?

What a greedy little bastard.

Forget it.

This is a Tian Class Fight Technique, Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique,

the Fight Technique that made the old me famous.

I can give you both of these treasures.

When someone shows courtesy for no reason, they must have ulterior motives.

You greedy little bastard!

These two treasures in my hands, each one of them is an existence capable of stirring up an uproar.

I’m giving both of them to you, yet you’re actually still dissatisfied?

Wait for the old me to give you a good lesson!

Old Sir, calm down.

Old Sir offers lavish gifts out of nowhere

yet does not say what the reason is.

Junior naturally does not dare to readily accept them.

If it wasn’t for my soul being on the verge of dissipating,

the old me...!

The old me wouldn’t ingratiate myself with you, a junior!

I’ve actually fallen to the point of begging for help from a junior,

Soul dissipating?

how embarrassing!

It’s the same situation as Teacher’s.

You brat,

if you’d obediently accepted my gifts and owed the old me a favor,

wouldn’t it then be reasonable for the old me to raise a request?

Turns out he needs something from me.

Little one was rash.

Please excuse me for offending you.

I wonder what Old Sir’s name is?

I am Yao Tianhuo.

I am Yao Tianhuo. Yao Tianhuo

Other people call me Venerate Tianhuo.

Venerate?

Fight Venerate practitioner?

Both you and I were owners of the Fallen Heart Flame;

it can be considered fate.

Thinking back to those days,

the old me, in this magma world,

unexpectedly discovered this kind of infant Fallen Heart Flame.

Naturally, I didn’t want to give up such an opportunity.

Unfortunately,

the mutual exclusion between two types of Heavenly Flame

erupted in a battle of Heavenly Flames that caused me to be seriously injured.

Those damned flame lizard people, taking advantage of the opportunity, had the gall to launch a sneak attack on me,

causing my physical body to collapse.

Before I was about to die, I released it.

And my soul became attached to this infant form.

Fate toys with people.

Go on.

The old me won’t bother you.

What is there to fear about death?

Venerate Tianhuo’s plight is so similar to Teacher’s.

They’re both imprisoned against their will, unable to see the light of day.

Old Sir, wait.

Little one is untalented; I do not know what difficulty Old Sir is facing.

Little one is willing to try their best to help.

Help?

What help do I need from a kid?

It’s a fair transaction.

Little one was wrong.

It’s a transaction.

A fair transaction.

As an alchemist, I wonder if you know how to restore one’s soul?

I know a little.

If Old Sir isn’t opposed,

I’m willing to give it a try.

Really?

You really have a way?

I no longer need to die! Ha ha! No longer need to die!

But—

But what?

Thinking of going back on your word?

While I have a way to restore a soul,

restoring the soul of a Fight Venerate level practitioner

won’t be an easy task.

As long as you help the old me,

this Fallen Heart Flame and flame controlling technique will all be yours!

If you doubt my sincerity,

you can take the scroll first.

Confirming that there aren’t issues

and then restoring my soul wouldn’t be too late.

Senior is overly serious.

Little one was hoping that you could agree to an additional condition of mine.

If you are unable to obtain the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva,

do you think that person will still protect you?

I am not the only person who has grudges against Jia Nan Academy.

As long as I form an alliance with those forces,

I can annihilate Jia Nan Academy

and kill Xiao Yan.

The Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva Old Venerate wants

isn’t so easy to obtain.

You’d better do what you say.

Or else,

you’ll become a soul inside this lamp, I’m afraid.

Stinky brat,

actually daring to ask a Fight Venerate to be your bodyguard for one year?

According to our agreement, you’re supposed to be the one protecting me,

not me protecting you!

What are you hiding for?

You’re not an imposter Fight Venerate, right?

An ignorant child actually dares to question this Venerate’s abilities?

Although my spiritual body has already fallen to Eight-star Fight Ancestor,

this kind of trifling scene was just meant to give you some exercise.

How exactly did these creatures appear?

Nature really is full of strange things.

Kid, watch and learn.

Let’s go!

Something’s going on with the Tuo She Ancient God’s Jade!

Could it be that the magma depths contain something related to the Tuo She Ancient God’s Jade?

Is it possible there’s something left behind by a Fight God?

If I can obtain it, I’ll have the capital to contend with the Hall of Souls.

I’d advise you to forget the thought of going to check things out.

The old me can vaguely sense

that a kind of extremely frightening existence lies within the magma depths.

An existence that even a Fight Venerate fears?

With my current strength, I can’t even get past those flame lizard people.

Moreover, there’s a Venerate Tianhuo at my side; it’s unclear whether he's friend or foe.

I indeed require power to rescue Father and Teacher.

But the premise is, I need to be alive.

Let’s go.

I will definitely return.

Stinky brat,

my spiritual strength is too weak; I’m nearly unable to maintain this energy barrier any longer.

Let’s talk once I’ve recovered after getting some good sleep.

Then what do I—

He is indeed unreliable as always.

I assume this old man will sleep for quite a bit of time.

The fire type energy here is abundant.

It is perfectly suited to practicing the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique.

Xiao Yan has been down there for such a long time;

could it be he’s encountered a troublesome matter?

With Third Brother’s current strength,

he should be fine.

On the flipside, that Han Feng,

roping in elites from all sorts of places in the Black Corner Region,

preparing to form an alliance and invade the Academy...

I wonder if Third Brother can come out in time before the battle begins.

Not good!

Can’t keep wasting my energy.

That move just then was quite decent.

It had thirty percent of my power back then.

Let’s go.

More and more fire lizard people are appearing.

I reckon this old man was awake long ago,

hiding by the side whilst watching the show.

I’ve already made some progress on the Six Joint Body Flowing Ruler.

I’ve also already condensed the Wolf form of the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique.

You kid, finally willing to come out?

How come First Elder has time today to come down here?

I thought you encountered some troublesome matter.

You broke through again?

En.

Six-star Fight Emperor now.

You kid,

when I was at the Fight Emperor class back then,

the fastest promotion still took me around one year’s time.

First Elder,

take a look at this.

This is—

the Fallen Heart Flame’s essence?

Why did you pour essence into it?

Don’t you know that this will cause you to stop advancing?

How will you fight the Hall of Souls like this?

First Elder, rest assured.

Although this is the Fallen Heart Flame, it isn’t the one within my body.

Otherwise,

why would its power be this weak?

It is indeed the case.

What you mean is, you found another Fallen Heart Flame?

I found this in the magma world.

Although it is in its infant stage,

it can still allow the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to operate.

Moreover, by raising it since young,

after it grows up, it won’t reject the Academy in any way.

In other words,

perhaps the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower can be open forever.

You’ve worked hard.

You took away a wild and untamable mature Heavenly Flame,

yet returned to the Inner Academy an obedient infant Heavenly Flame.

Between these, things can be considered fully cleared up now.

I can finally be at peace now.

This is—

The Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower can produce Heart Flame again!

It’s precisely this kind of feeling!

Wonderful!

You’ve worked hard.

This is what I should do.

Is this what you did?

During this period of time, you haven’t been causing trouble in the Academy, right?

You promoted?

I was merely lucky.

Not bad, you promoted again.

We have news about Han Feng.

Han Feng?

According to the latest intel I received,

Han Feng is currently at the Demon Flame Valley,

inviting numerous elites of the Black Corner Region under Demon Flame Valley’s name to the valley tomorrow.

This Han Feng has always had big ambitions.

If he unites the other factions of the Black Corner Region,

both Jia Nan Academy and Xiao Sect will be under extreme threat, I’m afraid.

Demon Flame Valley and my Xiao Sect have already formed a deep grudge.

This time, it’s the perfect opportunity for us to exterminate them in one fell swoop!

Second Brother,

mobilize all of Xiao Sect’s available elites.

Tomorrow, we will all head for Demon Flame Valley.

This time,

I want Han Feng

to have no second chances!
