"What?!"
When he heard the first half, Tian Huo Zun Zhe could still maintain his composure.
But after hearing the second half, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but ask again, "Is there really such a secret technique?"
"Yes," Lin Feng replied. "While exchanging experiences with some alchemy masters, I once overheard someone mention it. Judging by their tone, it's most likely real."
As he spoke, Lin Feng was secretly elated.
As long as he could bind Tian Huo Zun Zhe to his side, the chances of obtaining the Flame Mantra would increase significantly.
As for the resurrection technique, he had always been interested in it.
Even if not for Tian Huo Zun Zhe, he would still try to obtain it for himself.
After all, with such a secret technique in hand, he'd have far more peace of mind wandering across the Dou Qi Continent.
"Alright, I agree to help you subdue the Fallen Heart Flame above," Tian Huo Zun Zhe finally said.
The moment he heard that he could potentially restore his physical body, he could no longer contain his excitement and agreed immediately.
In fact, he seemed even more anxious than Lin Feng beside him.
Of course, it was understandable that Tian Huo Zun Zhe would lose his composure.
Only someone who had truly lost their body would understand how precious it was.
Now, if he had a chance at revival, he wouldn't hesitate even if it meant giving up everything he owned.
Immediately afterward, Tian Huo Zun Zhe quickly sealed the infant Fallen Heart Flame he had kept with him for centuries, then tossed it toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the flame and discovered that the seal was extremely thorough, with almost no energy leaking out.
He nodded slightly, then pulled out an empty spatial ring and placed the sealed flame inside.
After completing everything, Lin Feng looked up at Tian Huo Zun Zhe and asked, "Senior, once you've taken control of the mature Fallen Heart Flame above, can you seal it so that the Dou Zong up there won't detect it?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Huo Zun Zhe fell silent for a moment, then replied, "It's possible, but it would consume a huge amount of my soul power. I might even fall into a deep sleep afterward. If we go that route, you must use soul-recovery pills on me within the next three months. Otherwise, I really will dissipate completely."
"Don't worry, Senior. Refining the Soul Mending Pill is no problem for me. As long as you help me, I'll definitely provide the pills in time."
Lin Feng quickly promised, sensing the other party's concern.
"Alright. In any case, it's not like I can expect anyone else to come to this place. I'll trust you this once."
As he finished speaking, Tian Huo Zun Zhe flicked his wrist, and a white spatial ring slid automatically onto Lin Feng's finger. Then, his blurry figure, along with his skeletal remains, flashed into the ring.
A faintly excited voice echoed from within the spatial ring: "Let's go. Let's get out of here."
Hearing this, Lin Feng glanced at Medusa, and with thin silver lightning crackling around his calves, his figure turned into a streak of black lightning and shot swiftly toward the surface of the magma world.
At that moment, above the magma field—just as Su Qian's formation was about to be broken—in the final second, Outer Academy Dean Hu Gan led reinforcements to the scene.
With the help of several Dou Huang and more than a dozen Dou Wang, they successfully stabilized the formation, resuming a stalemate with the Fallen Heart Flame as the two sides continued a battle of attrition.
"People from the Outer Academy, maintain the energy threads! Inner Academy members, come with me and activate the Thousand Layer Sealing Formation! Let's seal this beast once and for all!"
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Su Qian's loud voice echoed through the entire Inner Academy.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the command, many elders and instructors quickly took their assigned positions.
The elders in the sky formed a circle, while eighty-eight instructors on the ground leapt onto the giant trees, preparing for the ritual.
"Thousand Layer Sealing Formation!"
Hovering in midair above the energy net, Su Qian suddenly clenched his fists and shouted in a deep voice.
As his shout fell, beams of Dou Qi burst forth in the sky like a tidal wave.
Then, all the elders and instructors simultaneously let out a resonant, coordinated chant.
In an instant, Dou Qi surged wildly around the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Nearly a hundred beams of Dou Qi shot out from the hands of those gathered, converging toward Su Qian in the sky!
Gazing at the myriad beams of Dou Qi coming from all directions, Su Qian extended both hands forward, and a circle of vast spatial ripples surged before him.
In a flash, a vacuum-like circular zone about half a zhang in diameter formed in front of him.
All of the over one hundred converging beams of Dou Qi were immediately absorbed into it.
In the blink of an eye, the vacuum was filled with powerful, multicolored Dou Qi energies.
Thus, a half-zhang wide vacuum Dou Qi sphere formed above Su Qian's palms.
Down below, the Invisible Fire Python coiled mid-air also sensed the terrifying sealing energy gathering in Su Qian's hands.
Its massive serpentine head jerked upward, and its pale triangular pupils glinted with ferocity as they locked onto Su Qian in the sky.
Then, from within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower below, a surge of scorching, frenzied energy erupted once more.
With a flick of its massive tail, the beast's form shot forth like lightning toward the energy net again. Along its path, space trembled violently, distorting like wrinkled cloth.
At the center of the formation, several Dou Huang experts who had taken Su Qian's place all turned pale, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.
As for the nearby Dou Wang elders, many were either gravely wounded or already dead.
The original team of nearly thirty was reduced to just half, barely able to maintain their positions.
"Elder Su, hurry up! We can't hold on much longer!"
Clenching his teeth, Hu Gan watched helplessly as his old comrades fell one after another. He shouted loudly at Su Qian above.
"Right away!"
Su Qian stared at the massive energy sphere in his hands. As it condensed further, it now shone as brilliantly as a blazing sun, painfully dazzling.
"Master, it looks like the heavens aren't on our side. Just as the Fallen Heart Flame was about to break free, the Outer Academy's forces arrived. I guess it's hopeless now," Xiao Yan said bitterly, seeing that Jia Nan Academy had gained the upper hand.
"Hehe, not necessarily! That brat Su Qian is about to suffer," Yao Chen chuckled mysteriously, a trace of schadenfreude in his voice.
At this moment, above the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, as Su Qian continued condensing Dou Qi, the enormous Dou Qi sphere in his hands suddenly began to tremble violently.
Su Qian knew it had reached its limit. Lifting his arms, he shouted sharply, "Seal Formation—Seal!"
As he spoke, Su Qian pressed down with both hands, and the Dou Qi sphere silently streaked across the sky—then exploded violently against the body of the Invisible Fire Python.
"Screee!"
Struck by such a ferocious attack, even the mighty Invisible Fire Python let out a sharp and agonized screech.
The explosion that suddenly erupted blasted the beast straight back into the crumbling Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower below.
"Seal!"
Seeing the Fire Python fall back into the tower once more, a flash of joy appeared in Su Qian's eyes. He swiftly formed a hand seal and shouted loudly.
As his shout echoed through the air, a faint black energy membrane reappeared at the top of the tower, sealing it off tightly once again.
"It's finally over!"
Watching as the Fallen Heart Flame was once more sealed within the tower, Su Qian and the other elders all breathed a deep sigh of relief.
