The 'Fallen Heart Flame' in front of him was only the size of a fist. The temperature that was emitted from it was far inferior to the one that he had swallowed earlier.
If it was said that what Mu Qingxiao had swallowed was the mature stage, then the 'Fallen Heart Flame' in front of him was equivalent to the infant stage. The energy that it contained was completely incomparable.
Of course, regardless of whether it was the infant stage or the mature stage, it was after all a 'Heavenly Flame'. It was quite difficult to take shape and required countless years.
The 'Heavenly Flame' in front of him, which was not very fierce, would definitely not exist for a short period of time.
After swallowing a 'Fallen Heart Flame', he could be considered to have completed a small part of his mission.
As for the infant stage 'Fallen Heart Flame', it was likely that it was inferior to the energy bead stored in his space. Even if he swallowed it, there would not be much increase in strength.
However, with this' Heavenly Flame ', the' Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower 'could be reopened. Moreover, the effect would not be much weaker than before.
The most important thing was that this infant stage 'Fallen Heart Flame' could gradually become stronger. In the future, it would definitely not be like the one that he had swallowed earlier, being extremely wild and violent.
This was also the reason why Mu Qingxiao had said earlier that the Jia Nan Academy would thank him for swallowing the 'Fallen Heart Flame'.
"Since you have summoned me here, don't tell me that you do not plan to come out?" Mu Qingxiao looked at the skeleton and said in a baffled manner.
His words had just sounded when a bright white light slowly rose from within the skeleton. Immediately, the white light wiggled and finally turned into an illusionary old human figure.
The old human figure was wearing a white robe. His hair and beard were all snow white. His face was old and his indifferent eyes flickered with a glow. Moreover, he emitted an extremely strong oppressive feeling.
"Brat, how did you know that I was the one who summoned you?"
Mu Qingxiao said, "This' Fallen Heart Flame 'has yet to give birth to intelligence. How can it summon me? You were also spying on me when I entered the light barrier earlier, right?"
"Brat, you are really smart. However, you have clearly refined the 'Fallen Heart Flame'. Why is it that I am unable to sense even a trace of aura from your body?"
The old man's eyes were filled with confusion as he opened his mouth to ask.
Earlier, he had already sensed that the aura of the 'Fallen Heart Flame' had disappeared. Furthermore, he had sent out a summon. However, he did not expect that the young man who had come did not have a trace of the 'Fallen Heart Flame' aura.
"I can use some secret techniques to conceal my aura."
Mu Qingxiao smiled but did not explain anything. So what if the old man was the previous owner of the 'Fallen Heart Flame'?
"… I see."
When the old man heard this, he nodded slightly, but his face looked as if only a ghost would believe him. Of course, he was no different from a ghost now, but he did not pursue the matter.
He knew that many people had their own secrets. If he continued to ask, the situation might become a little awkward.
Afterwards, the white-robed old man smiled. His smile was filled with pride that came from his very bones. He said, "I am Yao Tianhuo. Others sometimes call me Tian Huo zun zhe!"
When he said the word 'Venerable', the old man raised his voice.
However, Mu Qingxiao's expression remained calm. He nodded slightly. He knew the elder's identity a long time ago. Why would he be shocked?
Besides, so what if he was a Venerable One?
Seeing that Mu Qingxiao's expression didn't change at all, as if she hadn't heard anything at all, the white-haired elder who called himself Yao Tianhuo was taken aback.
His expression seemed to be asking, 'Brat, why are you not shocked at all?'
"Cough cough, actually, you need not be afraid. That was the me of the past. The current me is only a wisp of spirit. With your strength, it is sufficient to kill me."
As he spoke, Tian Huo zun continued, "You want this' Fallen Heart Flame ', right?"
"That's right. It is indeed of some use. However, it is not something that I must have." Mu Qingxiao's tone was extremely calm. There was no emotion on his face.
His calm words caused the corner of Tian Huo zun's eyes to twitch. He secretly scolded the latter for being cunning. His words had actually caused him to be unable to advance or retreat.
"Ah, brat. Although I am only a wisp of spirit now, other than this' Fallen Heart Flame ', I still have quite a number of good things." Seeing that Mu Qingxiao was unmoved, Tian Huo zun could only begin to tempt him.
Mu Qingxiao glanced at this shameless old man. Qi Methods and Dou Techniques were useless to him, but he should at least give the other party a way out, right?
"Elder, if you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to beat around the bush."
"* Cough *!"
Tian Huo zun nearly choked to death after his words sounded. He coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.
"Back then, the old me had found this place and discovered traces of the 'Fallen Heart Flame' for the first time. After which, I spent a couple of years before luckily subduing it. The 'Fallen Heart Flame' that I had subdued was the one that you had refined."
Mu Qingxiao listened attentively when he heard Tian Huo zun zun speak of the past. He did not interrupt him.
"The old me relied on my ability and could have gone anywhere in the world in the past. Hence, I did not leave after subduing the 'Fallen Heart Flame'. Instead, I entered this magma world out of curiosity …"
Tian Huo zun zun continued to sigh. His tone contained a little sigh. It seemed that he was regretting his recklessness back then.
"After entering deep into the magma world, I once again found a 'Heavenly Flame' seed of the 'Fallen Heart Flame'. This caused me to rejoice quite a bit." Tian Huo zun zun once again sighed as he spoke.
"It is also because of this that the old me attempted to merge two 'Heavenly Flames' into my body due to my greed. However, not only did I fail to merge them, but I ended up seriously injured."
Mu Qingxiao understood when she heard this. It would be strange if one did not end up seriously injured after merging two 'Heavenly Flames' into one's body.
"Just as the old me was seriously injured, I was suddenly attacked …"
"Elder, are you talking about the Lizard People outside?"
"Looks like you have also come into contact with them." Tian Huo zun zun was a little surprised when he heard this. It was unexpected that this brat in front of him actually acted as though nothing had happened when he met the Lizard People.
"Those Lizard People seemed to have originally existed in this place. There were many of them. Moreover, there was no lack of ultimate experts who could contend with a Dou Zun among them. Back then, the old me had unluckily met an elite Dou Zun from the Lizard tribe."
"If I was at my peak condition, the old me would naturally not be afraid. However, the two 'Heavenly Flames' caused the old me to be seriously injured and even killed. Fortunately, the experts from the Lizard tribe did not understand spatial strength. Hence, they had difficulty finding the hiding spot of the old me."
So this was the case. Mu Qingxiao instantly understood. No wonder an expert of the Dou Zong class had difficulty finding this place even though he was standing a short distance away. It was because he did not understand spatial strength.
"Not long after the old me died, my physical body also collapsed. I could only release the 'Fallen Heart Flame' and attach my spirit to this' Heavenly Flame 'seed in an attempt to preserve it. However, after so many years, my spirit was gradually unable to endure."
Tian Huo zun zun zun zun zun zun looked at Mu Qingxiao and continued, "If no one enters this place within two years, the old me might truly die."
Mu Qingxiao naturally understood what he meant. When one's strength reached such a level, one's spirit would be able to rely on a medium to survive even if one's physical body collapsed. For example, a 'Heavenly Flame'.
