Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 245 The Magma World, Venerable Heavenly Fire

Canaan College

"Old man!" Zi Yan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the familiar figure!

"Huh? Ziyan! You've grown up?!" Su Qian didn't recognize her at first. He didn't expect that Ziyan had grown into a big girl after so many years.

Xiao Li tactfully stepped aside. Was they grandfather and granddaughter, or adoptive father and daughter? It was hard to say, but Su Qian had indeed raised Zi Yan with genuine kindness.

Zi Yan was all alone after she hatched from the egg, so she cared a lot about her family, and Su Qian was one of the people she cared about.

Xiao Li was preparing to go and see how far those two silly boys, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, had grown. And also, Xiao Yu, that girl.

"Old man, quickly call me Venerable Ziyan!"

Just a few steps after Xiao Li took out, he was stunned by Zi Yan's shocking words.

This is truly a rebellion against the Heavenly Gang!

"Zi Yan, you..." Xiao Li was about to stop Zi Yan's disrespectful behavior when Su Qian patted Zi Yan's head instead.

"Girl, you've become a Dou Zun? Hmm~ Not bad. Hanging out with that brat must have provided you with an endless supply of pills. Venerable Zi Yan, have you been happy these past few years?" Su Qian said indulgently.

"Hehe, I'm so happy! Xiao Li has gone to great lengths to make me delicious pills and candies. Thanks to his pills and candies, I was able to advance to the Dou Zun level so quickly. Oh, by the way, old man, I know what kind of magical beast my true form is now."

"I am the Ancient Void Dragon! When I grow up and become a ninth-tier magical beast, I will sweep across the entire Beast Realm and become its king! From now on, when you go out, tell them my name! I will protect you!"

Zi Yan said with a grin, "That's quite a boast."

Xiao Li ignored the grandfather and grandson. He went to check on the boys in his family first, and then went down to the lava world to take a look.

. . . . . .

A world of magma stretching as far as the eye can see, with huge bubbles rising from the magma and finally bursting open. A scorching heat, accompanied by wisps of white smoke, spreads out from it. This smoke contains a kind of fire poison, which would cause considerable trouble if inhaled.

At this moment, Xiao Li stood above this magma world, with a huge fire serpent beside him. However, the fire serpent was coiled up and dared not approach Xiao Li at all.

This fire serpent is the Fallen Heart Flame of Canaan Academy.

"The fire attribute energy here is indeed abundant. The Fallen Heart Flame has a continuous supply of fire attribute energy here. If it were more intelligent and knew how to lie dormant, it could have reached the Dou Zun level with the help of the energy here. Strange flames should have no lifespan limit, but unfortunately, such rare creatures of heaven and earth are not very intelligent."

Xiao Li commented and then ventured deeper into the magma world to explore.

"It wouldn't be bad to go into seclusion here. The fire elemental energy is abundant, and with the Thousand Demon Saint's Essence in my possession, I'm 70% confident I can break through to the Dou Sheng realm!"

Xiao Li absorbed a ball of fire-attribute energy and said.

Xiao Li continued to venture deeper into the magma world in search of the entrance to the ancient emperor's cave. Xiao Li remembered that the ancient emperor Tuoshe's cave was located beneath this magma world, but upon entering the magma world, he realized how vast it truly was!

He dared not recklessly release his soul power, lest he wake the sleeping Old Dragon Emperor, who could slap him from afar and he would be dead.

"Hmm? Soul fluctuation? There!" Xiao Li sensed a soul fluctuation flying towards that location.

Soon after, Xiao Li discovered a transparent halo, emanating soul fluctuations.

Xiao Li waved his hand and pulled the light circle closer. Inside the light circle, Xiao Li saw a skeleton, which emitted a faint light. Above the skeleton was a flame, which was transparent and seemed to be invisible.

Fallen Heartflame!

Suddenly, a gust of hot wind swept in, and a strange creature, entirely crimson with scales covering its body and walking upright, appeared around Xiao Li! Not one, but five!

"Lizards? Oh! I remember now, all of you die!" Xiao Li waved his hand and finished off these lizardmen.

The lizardmen's bodies shattered instantly, and a crimson bead fell from their bodies.

"There's a rich fire elemental energy inside, not bad, not bad. It's a pity the level is too low for me. I'll leave it for the little ones in the family." Xiao Li put away the beads, then carried the transparent halo away from the area.

Arriving at a quiet place, Xiao Li placed the light circle aside and then crossed his arms.

"Come out, stop hiding in front of me."

"Alas~" A sigh of old age came, and a phantom figure emerged from the skeleton. It looked like an old man, wearing a white robe, with snow-white hair and beard, an old face, and a faint glint of light in his calm eyes.

"Heavenly Fire greets the Sage."

The soul entity that called itself Heavenly Fire bowed to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li snapped his fingers, and a black and white flame throne materialized out of thin air behind him. Xiao Li sat directly on it.

"Yin Yang Twin Flames!" Heavenly Fire exclaimed in shock.

"You must have been a Dou Zun in your past life, how could you have perished here? I can sense that you have a similar aura to that fallen heart flame above."

"My name is Yao Tianhuo. When I first ventured into the vast continent, people called me Venerable Tianhuo." Yao Tianhuo's posture was very humble.

"Oh? Venerable Heavenly Fire? I have heard of you. I've heard that you once possessed an extremely profound fire control technique," Xiao Li said calmly.

"Indeed, this is the Five Wheels Fire Control Technique, my famous fire control technique. May I ask the Sage to lend a hand?" Venerable Heavenly Fire handed a pale white scroll to Xiao Li.

"Oh? Help? What kind of help? Tell me." Xiao Li did not take the scroll but looked at Venerable Tianhuo with a half-smile.

"The saint must be an alchemist, I can sense the rich medicinal fragrance emanating from him."

Xiao Li nodded.

"May the Sage heal my soul?"

"It won't be cheap for me to take action, you know. Repairing a soul is a small matter; I can even revive you. It's just that the price of this 'Five Wheels Fire Technique' isn't enough," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"How about adding this Fallen Heart Flame?" Venerable Heavenly Fire was delighted; if the price wasn't enough, there was still room for negotiation!

"It's just a nascent strange flame. Although it's precious, it's nothing special to me." Xiao Li shook his head.

"That saint."

"In my opinion, these things are not as valuable as you, a Dou Zun powerhouse. I value your talent, how about I revive you to serve me?" Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"This..." Venerable Tianhuo hadn't expected the person in front of him to have such thoughts, yet it was also within his expectations.

"You should think this through. I can now refine ninth-grade pills. The success rate isn't high, but I'm still considered a ninth-grade alchemist. There are countless people who want to serve me. You've caught my eye. What do you think?" Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

Venerable Heavenly Fire immediately bowed and said, "Your subordinate, Heavenly Fire, greets your master."

"There's no need for the title 'Master,' just call me 'Sir.' I'm too lazy to set up the soul restriction either. I don't think you'll do anything under my nose."

Xiao Li narrowed his eyes, and Venerable Tianhuo immediately broke out in a cold sweat, repeatedly saying he dared not.

"Take this Spirit Fusion Pill first, and then take this Soul Condensation Pill. After taking these two pills, your soul should be restored to its peak."

"Then I will use your bones to revive you. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to gain something after your revival." Xiao Li flicked his finger and sent a pill to Venerable Heavenly Fire.

Venerable Tianhuo bowed to Xiao Li: "Thank you, sir. Tianhuo will certainly live up to your expectations!"
