Chapter 209: Dou Ancestor

At the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, two Guardian Elders were sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the hole that Xiao Ming had entered through earlier, one dressed in white robes and the other in black robes.

They seemed to have been sitting for a long time when the white-clothed Elder opened his eyes and said.

"Hey, how long has it been already? There still hasn't been any movement below, and I don't know how long we'll have to keep taking turns guarding."

"What's the hurry? It's not that easy to break through to Dou Ancestor, it's normal to take a longer time of seclusion, besides, there's nothing wrong with guarding here, the fire attribute energy is highly condensed, so we'll get twice the result with half the effort in cultivation." The black-clothed Elder also slowly opened his eyes and said.

"Hahaha, you're right, but the fire attribute energy here contains quite a bit of frenzied intent, and it will take quite some time to get rid of it. It's hard to imagine what it would be like down below, only Xiao Ming would dare to go down and breakthrough, there's no way I would do something like that if I were in his place."

The two Elders chatted idly, their voices transmitted down through the black hole.

However, in the magma pool, the sound of the Elders' conversation had long since dispersed.

This was a subterranean world, and all that existed was fiery red magma and black smoke that was released from time to time.

The environment was so repetitive that time in this place seemed to have lost its meaning.

High on a rocky hillside, there was a hidden cave.

A young man dressed in white sat inside it with his eyes closed.

After another unknown period of time, the boy's aura suddenly rose, and a majestic aura spread from the cave to the magma world beyond, shaking the heaven and the earth.

The fiery red magma churned more violently and black smoke billowed everywhere. Suddenly, as if drawing energy from the magma, several meter-long columns of magma shot skyward, then struck the rocky surface and spilled out in all directions, making it seem as if magma was raining down on the fiery world.

Apparently, upon hearing this noisy sound, Xiao Ming's eyes slowly opened, and immediately, a bright aura flashed across the hillside cave.

Having tested his physical body, Xiao Ming still did not travel to the surface, as he was waiting for Venerable Tian Huo to summon the Fallen Heart Flame that had just been refined by him.

Now that the Fallen Heart Flame of the Jia Nan Academy had been refined by him, according to the agreement, he needed to return an Infant Fallen Heart Flame.

This young flame would naturally be the one in Venerable Tian Huo's hands, he wouldn't just take out his own Heavenly Flame Source if it wasn't necessary, would he?

Trying to find Venerable Tian Huo in the endless magma world without a guide would undoubtedly be a very foolish thing to do.

Only if Venerable Tian Huo took the initiative to summon the Fallen Heart Flame would Xiao Ming be able to find him accurately.

Fortunately, not long after he devoured the Fallen Heart Flame, he seemed to feel the inexplicable summoning sensation coming from the depths of magma from time to time, so he didn't have to worry about Venerable Tian Huo not guiding him.

After a few moments of silence in the sky, having not sensed the summoning intent again, Xiao Ming began to frown, and as he was about to return to the cave he had created to rest, a smile appeared on his face as he stared at the surface of the magma as if he wanted to see through it.

'So you finally summoned it again'.

He immediately pulled out a precious sword from his storage ring, and with a flick of his sleeve, the sword lifted up and then turned into a black shadow, finally stabbing into the hillside above, with such a strong force that the sword's body directly penetrated the hard mountain until only a part of the hilt was left outside.

On the sword, Xiao Ming placed a soul imprint, which will serve as a guide, because at the bottom of the magma, the line of sight was too diffuse, and the area was incomparably coarse, so if he burst into the magma just like that, who knows where he would end up?

Now it wasn't like the last time he took the Green Lotus Core Flame, as at that time he had a Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent with him to guide the way.

After doing all this, Xiao Ming took a deep breath, and invisible flames slowly gushed out over his body, until they enveloped him completely. This magma was the birthplace of the Fallen Heart Flame, so it was better to use this very flame as protection, which would also help him reduce consumption.

Plaf!

Once the flames enveloped his body, Xiao Ming no longer hesitated, and dropping down, he plunged into the vast magma world, causing a burst of bubbles to emerge on the surface. After a while, the seemingly endless magma world fell into a deathly silence once again, and the only thing that seemed different from the last time was the sword-hilt on the hillside, which emitted a faint light, like a guiding light.
