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

"Oh~ the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire, it really suits me perfectly?" Xiao Yan said, rubbing his hands together after digesting the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire.

The old physician appeared: "The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire? Isn't this a secret technique of the Burning Flame Valley? Could it also be a tradition of your Xiao clan?"

“Of course, it was created by Ancestor Xiao Xuan, but it was given to Ancestor Fen Yan.” Xiao Li waved his hand and said.

"Little Yanzi, let me see it too. I've wanted to see the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire in Burning Flame Valley for a long time, but that old pedantic Yan Huo wouldn't let me." Yao Lao was also very curious about the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire.

"Not only does this suit you, but there's another scroll as well." Xiao Li handed a completely crimson scroll to Xiao Yan.

"Heavenly Burning Flame Demon Body, a high-level Earth-rank body-refining fighting technique?" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the words on the scroll.

"This is a body-refining fighting technique I obtained in my early years. Now I have something better. Originally it was a mid-level Earth-rank fighting technique. After you started cultivating the Burning Technique, I wondered what would happen if there was a body-refining fighting technique that could be strengthened by refining a certain number of different flames?"

Although the Flame Demon Venerable who created the Heavenly Flame Demon Body had this idea, he was limited by his vision and strength. I modified the Heavenly Flame Demon Body, and now it can be considered a high-level Earth-rank combat skill.

The Burning Technique you cultivate, combined with this Heavenly Burning Flame Demon Body, will likely bring unexpected gains. Refining a single strange flame can enhance your physique!

Once you have five different flames on your body, your Heavenly Blazing Flame Demon Body will definitely reach the Heavenly Rank, and your physical body will be one level ahead of your cultivation.

Xiao Li explained the Heavenly Flame Demon Body to Xiao Yan.

Just as Xiao Yan was rejoicing over his good finds, Xiao Li grabbed him by the back of the neck.

"Second Master, what are you doing?" Xiao Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Xiao Li grinned: "I forgot to tell you, the Heavenly Blazing Flame Demon Body is very difficult to master. I'll help you practice so you can get started faster!"

"No! No!"

Xiao Yan wanted to refuse, but Xiao Li wouldn't give him the chance. He took Xiao Yan away directly, and a moment later, a pig-like scream was heard!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

. . . . . .

Six months later, Black Corner

"Xiao Li, you said you'd take me back to Canaan Academy a year ago, and you've delayed it for a year. You have to make it up to me!"

"I'm not convinced," Zi Yan said defiantly, dressed in a magnificent purple dress.

"Compensation? What compensation do you need? You eat my food, use my things, and I have to compensate you? Do you think I'm a sucker?" Xiao Li said speechlessly.

"I don't care, I don't care! You've given Xiao Yan so many benefits, you can't not give me any! I'm your man, ah, no, Long! You..."

"Stop, stop, stop! All you want are some pills! Is it really necessary? Here you go! Who taught you such tricks?" Xiao Li's face darkened as he tossed several bottles of Rank 8 pills to Zi Yan. Zi Yan's palate had become so picky that she wouldn't eat anything but Rank 8 pills!

I don't know where she learned the three tricks of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. Please, the rope that can hang this little female dragon probably hasn't been forged yet.

"Huh?" Xiao Li suddenly stopped, his soul power scanning the area of ​​the Black Corner Domain below. This place was exactly Maple City! The location of Han Feng of the Medicine Sect.

Xiao Li discovered that Han Feng was hiding deep within Maple City in seclusion, and his aura had reached the level of a five-star Dou Zong! Xiao Li also saw the Sea Heart Flame and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame within Han Feng's body, but the fusion between the Sea Heart Flame and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame within him was not perfect!

"What is incomplete will always be incomplete. If he continues to cultivate like this, he will definitely explode when he refines the third strange fire! Xiao Yanzi has absorbed three strange fires and can fuse them together, which is called the Azure Nether Profound Lotus Fire!"

That new strange fire is already comparable to the Bone Spirit Cold Fire in Yao Lao's hands, and the Burning Technique has reached the low-level Earth Rank. It's just that his cultivation level is still a bit lacking. It won't be long before he can kill Han Feng.

Xiao Li smiled faintly. He was quite satisfied with this beginner's gift pack and was just waiting for Xiao Yan to collect it.

According to Xiao Li's speculation, after Xiao Yan subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, he would be qualified to fight Han Feng head-on. Don't underestimate Han Feng just because he is a five-star Dou Zong. Xiao Yan, who possesses four different flames, can kill him!

Previously, if Xiao Yan's Three-Colored Fire Lotus were hit, even a peak Dou Zong expert would not be unharmed!

"Xiao Li, what are you laughing at?" Zi Yan waved her hand in front of Xiao Li.

"It's nothing, let's go. You haven't visited the Grand Elder in years, let's go and take a good look at him," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, I'm a Dou Zun expert now! Old Man Su will have to address me as Venerable Zi Yan, right? Hehe!"

"You're going against the natural order? Who taught you that?" Xiao Li said speechlessly.

"You! You really like having Sister Yun call you Dad... Hmm~"

"Don't talk nonsense, little girl!" Xiao Li immediately covered Zi Yan's mouth, truly showing that children speak without thinking!

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 going to see how far those two silly boys, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, had grown, and also to see Xiao Yu.

"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, and 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, whenever 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 this energy. 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 here, and with the Thousand Demon Saint Essence in my possession, I have a 70% chance of breaking through to the Dou Sheng level!"

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.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Li drew the halo closer. Inside the halo, he saw a skeleton emitting a faint light. Above the skeleton floated a flame, which was completely transparent, as if it were 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, dressed in 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 the past, 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 was adventuring across the 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? I am..."

"It won't be cheap for me to take action, you know. Repairing a soul is a minor 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 Tianhuo immediately bowed and said, "Your subordinate Tianhuo 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 Spirit Sea Condensing Soul 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 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, my lord. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Chapter 246 Resurrection

Half a month later,

A black and white fiery throne floated silently above the lava. Xiao Li sat on the throne, looking at the white-robed, white-bearded figure in front of him.

"Tianhuo, you are in a good state now. Your soul has been completely stabilized. You have the strength of a peak Dou Zong just by relying on your soul power. You are just one step away from merging with your physical body."

Xiao Li smiled faintly. After half a month of adjustment, Venerable Tianhuo's soul has been completely stabilized, and has even made some progress in terms of soul. However, he did not know how much progress it had made. He would only know after regaining his physical body.

"Thank you, my lord. I, Tianhuo, am willing to serve you at your service." Venerable Tianhuo bowed to Xiao Li, as he genuinely felt the transformation of his own soul.

Perhaps because he had died once, Venerable Tianhuo felt that now that he had been resurrected and his cultivation had not declined, he should be able to advance even further!

"Alright, preparations are almost complete, it's time to revive him." Xiao Li pointed his finger, drawing over the skeleton of Venerable Heavenly Fire.

Xiao Li released a ball of white flame from his right hand and placed it on the skeleton. Soon, the white flame enveloped the remains of the Heavenly Fire Venerable.

"Heavenly Fire, take this pill and obey my command to enter your body." Xiao Li flicked his finger, and a pill the size of a longan flew directly into the mouth of Venerable Heavenly Fire.

After taking the pill, Venerable Tianhuo felt an extremely powerful medicinal force, which made his entire soul tremble.

'What a powerful pill! This is an eighth-grade pill? Even I find it a bit too much to handle. Could it be an eighth-grade pill of the Five-Colored Thunder or higher?'

Xiao Li then increased the power of the Yang Fire, drawing out the life force from the bones, and then began to amplify it!
