Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

40: Lord Skyfire!After absorbing the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Ze did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked towards the deeper magma.

Unlike the underground magma of the Tagor Desert, the temperature and violent energy here were more dangerous.

Even ordinary Dou Zong would find it difficult to go deep, but at this moment, he was a Dou Venerable expert and completely fearless.

Finally, after some searching, a transparent halo emitting a faint light emerged from the magma vortex, where the magma had originally been unremarkable.

Within that halo was a skeleton, reduced to white bones, and a wisp of flame floated above the bones.

This flame was entirely transparent, formless as if invisible. Others might find it strange, but Xiao Ze was exceptionally familiar with it.

Because this flame was precisely the Fallen Heart Flame!

If nothing unexpected happened, this flame was the nascent form of the Fallen Heart Flame.

As for the skeleton, it should be Venerable Skyfire.

Just as he was about to retrieve the nascent form of the Fallen Heart Flame, a scorching gust of wind suddenly shot towards him in a strange manner!

Xiao Ze’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained unmoved.

He only raised his hand when it arrived in front of him.

”Space Shred!”

The low roar was like a heavy hammer striking the surface of the magma sea. The entire molten magma suddenly froze, as if caught in an invisible giant net.

The next moment, crisscrossing spatial cracks spread across the sky like a spider web.

The scorching molten magma was cut into countless tiny light spots. The so-called magma creatures couldn’t even touch him in the slightest before being shredded by the power of space.

Looking at his masterpiece, Xiao Ze nodded with satisfaction.

It had to be said, the power of space was truly effective.

After dealing with the magma creatures, Xiao Ze reached out and took the nascent form of the Fallen Heart Flame.

Just as he had taken the nascent form of the Fallen Heart Flame, a sudden change occurred. A faint, elderly figure suddenly appeared.

The figure wore white robes, with snow-white hair and beard. His face was aged, and a faint glint of brilliance flickered in his calm eyes.

”Fallen Heart Flame? I didn’t expect... it would still be subdued by someone...” The illusory figure glanced at Xiao Ze, then slowly spoke.

There was an indescribable meaning in his voice.

”Old man, how about a deal?” Xiao Ze ignored the other party’s emotion and began to calculate.

The other party was a Dou Venerable expert in his lifetime, so if he could be brought into their camp, it would be a good thing.

”Heh heh, I am just a Soul body. What do I have to trade with you?” Hearing this, the old man chuckled.

”However, why do I find you a bit inscrutable?”

Logically speaking, he was a Dou Venerable expert in his lifetime, and he had always had sharp eyes for people. But the person in front of him made him a bit confused.

”If you could understand me, then I’d truly be seeing a ghost.” Xiao Ze rolled his eyes.

Then he continued, ”I can help you reshape your Physical Body, but I need you for fifty years. During this period, you must obey my commands.”

”The conditions sound tempting, but what makes you think you can reshape my Physical Body?” The old man chuckled, thinking the other party was joking.

He didn’t know how many years he had been dead. If it weren’t for the Fallen Heart Flame protecting him, his Soul body might have long since dissipated in this world.

”Because I am a Dou Venerable expert!”

Upon hearing this, the old man stared at him, thinking, ”You’re not kidding me, are you?”

Since when did the Fighting Qi Continent have such a young Dou Venerable expert?

”Believe it or not, my patience is limited. I’ll give you three breaths to think.” Xiao Ze didn’t give the other party a chance to hesitate and immediately prepared to return to the surface.

Seeing the other party about to leave, the old man immediately became anxious, ”Young Friend, please wait, I agree!”

Such an opportunity was rare. If he missed it, his Soul body might not last until the next one.

”Then come with me.” Xiao Ze reached out and grabbed the Soul body, taking him away from the magma land.

”I am Yao Tianhuo. Others sometimes call me Venerable Skyfire. May I ask Your Excellency’s name?”

Being taken away, Yao Tianhuo never thought that one day he would be able to see the light of day again.

”My name is Xiao Ze, from the Xiao Family.”

”Don’t worry, following me won’t put you at a disadvantage.”

With that, Xiao Ze had already led Venerable Skyfire to the bottom floor of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

However, before leaving, he left the nascent form of the Fallen Heart Flame to serve as the carrier for the fire energy of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

And with the recovery of the fire energy, the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower regained its body-tempering function.

”It’s recovered?”

At this moment, outside the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower, the Elders looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Logically speaking, without the Fallen Heart Flame, the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower would lose its function, unless the Fallen Heart Flame had not been taken away.

”That little guy isn’t dead inside, is he?”

”This... it can’t be, right? He is a Dou Zong expert, after all.”

The Elders discussed animatedly.

How could someone who could dominate most of the Black-Corner Region in just half a month die so easily?

Grand Elder Su Qian did not speak, but kept his gaze fixed on the entrance of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower.

Finally, after a brief moment of contemplation, a young figure quietly appeared before everyone.

Seeing that familiar gaze, the Grand Elder’s hanging heart could finally relax.

If he had met with an accident, that girl Xun’er would surely come to settle accounts with him. Fortunately, everything was safe.

”Young Friend Xiao Ze, how is the progress?” The Grand Elder stepped forward and asked.

”Everything went smoothly. The Fallen Heart Flame has been devoured by me, and I also found a nascent form of the Fallen Heart Flame inside. I believe it won’t be long before it can exert its full effect.” Xiao Ze explained.

”There’s actually another one?” Hearing this, the Grand Elder’s face showed surprise.

After all, spiritual objects like the Fallen Heart Flame, born of nature, were already rare in the world. For two to appear at once truly surprised him greatly.

”Grand Elder, the Fallen Heart Flame has been taken by me. It’s time to fulfill the promise.”

Seeing that all the Inner Academy Elders were present, Xiao Ze also brought up his conditions.

”Grand Elder, how about this: once I take down the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley and unify the Black-Corner Region, one-tenth of all profits from the Black-Corner Region will belong to Jia Nan Academy.”

”Moreover, when entering and exiting the Black-Corner Region, my Xiao Gate can guarantee the safety of the students throughout the journey, allowing them to train with peace of mind.”

”Taking down the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley...”

Hearing this, the corners of the Elders’ mouths twitched involuntarily.

As veteran forces in the Black-Corner Region, their Sects were protected by Dou Zong experts. Only he could make such a boastful claim.

Jia Nan Academy had stood in the Black-Corner Region for hundreds of years and never dared to dream of unifying it. Yet, a young man from Wutan City dared to utter such ambitious words, truly... ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

Facing the contempt, Xiao Ze remained unmoved. Instead, he released a trace of his Dou Venerable aura. In an instant, the Elders’ faces stiffened, and their hearts were in turmoil.

”Dou... Dou Venerable expert?”

”Now, do you believe me?” Xiao Ze’s expression remained unchanged.
