The quiet Inner Academy was once again lively the next day. There was no other reason. The top ten people on the rankings had entered the bottom level of the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' to receive the Heart Flame to temper their bodies. Everyone in the Inner Academy clearly understood that as long as they successfully endured, they would be able to enter the Dou Wang class. This kind of opportunity would cause many people to be envious.
Qin Feng followed Xiao Yan and the people from 'Pan's Gate' as they walked on the road that led to the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower'. Each time someone saw' Pan's Gate 'on the road, a trace of envy would flash in their eyes.
They walked towards the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' in a mighty manner. They encountered other factions along the way. However, they were a little weaker when compared to 'Pan's Gate'. Although the leaders of the other factions were also in the top ten, they could only give way to Qin Feng, who was able to easily defeat Liu Qing.
When they arrived at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, they encountered the leader of the Wolf Fang, Lin Xiuya, and the faction that he led. The strength of the people that Lin Xiuya brought along was mostly around a one star Dou Ling. They were much stronger than 'Pan's Gate'.
After chatting for a while, the two groups of factions chatted as they walked toward their destination. When they arrived outside the tower, a black mass of people surrounded the 'Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower' until not even a drop of water could pass through. Xiao Yan and Lin Xiuya did not stop. They relied on the large number of people to forcefully pass through the crowd and sat down cross-legged on the empty ground outside the tower.
Not long after, the other factions also arrived outside the tower. After greeting each other, they sat cross-legged and quietly waited for the tower to open.
A rushing wind sound suddenly appeared in the sky after nearly half an hour. A couple of old figures flashed and appeared outside the tower's door. The person in front was surprisingly First Elder Su Qian.
"Haha, it seems that everyone is here. In that case, I won't waste any more time.”Su Qian's eyes looked around him. He did not waste his breath. He waved his hand and the heavy tower door slowly opened amid a creaking sound.
"The top ten on the 'Strong Ranking', follow me.”Elder Su said indifferently. He led the head to the entrance of the pagoda and then added,"The others are not allowed to enter today. Otherwise, they won't be able to enter for half a year.”Hearing this, the students stood outside the tower obediently even though they were unwilling.
Qin Feng and the others slowly followed behind as they watched Su Qian's back.
Su Qian did not speak along the way. He led the students to the bottom of the tower. The lower the level, the hotter the air became. Finally, after walking for half an hour, a ray of light was transmitted from the end of the dark tunnel.
"We're here." Su Qian spoke in a faint voice. He took large strides towards the light. Everyone's spirit shook when they heard this. They quickly rushed out.
This was an extremely spacious and empty space within the tower. It occupied an extremely large area and was practically more spacious than any of the floors above. Moreover, there were not many cultivation rooms here, so it gave off a feeling of emptiness at a glance.
"Follow me." Su Qian's eyes looked around him. He immediately waved his hand to Qin Feng's group before lifting his feet and walking toward the middle of the open ground. Seeing this, everyone followed him in.
As they got closer to the black hole in the center, a strange temperature enveloped everyone.
Everyone stopped twenty meters away from the black hole. Two figures appeared ten meters away from the hole. From their clothes, they were the two elders.
After arriving here, Qin Feng's mind began to tremble intensely. Spiritual Energy continued to leak out and his eyes became extremely dark and ruthless. The few people who were next to Qin Feng could not withstand the spiritual pressure from Qin Feng, so they pulled some distance away from him. Zi Yan was the only one standing beside Qin Feng. She pulled on Qin Feng's sleeve with a worried expression.
"Sit down!" Su Qian pointed at a spot on the ground. There were ten specially made high platforms at that spot. At a glance, they appeared as jade-green as jade. Hearing this, Qin Feng and the others found a high platform and sat down. After sitting down, the scorching feeling disappeared and was replaced by a cool feeling. The brutality in Qin Feng's eyes also disappeared by quite a bit.
Although Su Qian was puzzled by Qin Feng's appearance, he did not question him. He softly spoke a few words to the two Elders. The two Elders formed a seal with their hands and one could see ten pale-white light barriers floating out from the black hole and slowly floating in front of everyone.
Su Qian smiled slightly when he saw everyone's expressions. He waved his sleeve and the color of the pale-white light barrier swiftly became transparent. Finally, the item within it was displayed in front of everyone.
As the color faded, what appeared within the light barrier was a seemingly invisible ball of flame that could be seen with the naked eye. These flames curled up and rose within the light barrier. However, the temperature seemed to be completely isolated by the light barrier. Therefore, Qin Feng and the others could not feel the slightest heat.
"This is the Essence Heart Flame." Su Qian stared at these invisible flames and spoke in a faint voice,"This kind of Essence Heart Flame is extremely difficult to obtain. Every year, we expend a great amount of manpower in order to obtain around three to four clusters. Moreover, this also depends on luck. This thing is not very useful to those above the Dou Wang class. However, it can pave the path for those below the Dou Wang class to advance to the Dou Wang class. Of course, there is also quite a great risk involved in this. The pain of refining one's body is extremely difficult to endure. If one is careless, not only will one fail, but one will also end up causing quite a great amount of harm to one's body!”
"The failure rate of the top ten on the 'Strong Ranking' who come here to undergo body refinement is not low. Every time, half of the people will fail.”Su Qian's casual voice caused cold sweat to appear on the foreheads of some people. A failure rate of 50% seemed to be a little high, right?
"The Dou Wang class is the dividing line between the strong on the continent. You all, who are at the peak of the Dou Ling class, should be extremely clear about how difficult it is to advance to this class. If you do not have enough luck, it is not impossible for you to remain at this level for your entire life.”Su Qian glanced at Lin Xiuya's group and said,"If you do not dare to accept the body refinement, just mention it. This Essence Heart Flame is extremely precious. It is naturally best if you can save it."”Su Qian casually replied.
Although Su Qian said this, no one backed out."Since no one has any objections, then close your eyes and calm your mind. Don't be distracted. If any problems occur, we will take action."”Su Qian waved his hand when he saw that no one spoke. Ten light clusters flew to the top of everyone's heads. Finally, they emitted a 'bang' as they shattered in front of everyone's staring eyes. The invisible flame within them directly fell and entered from above everyone's heads.
The cluster of invisible flame entered the heads of Qin Feng and the others. Immediately, the bodies of the ten of them trembled to varying degrees. Soon after, their faces turned as red as charcoal. There were even traces of white fog seeping out from everyone's heads.
Looking at the red faces of the ten people. Su Qian nodded slightly. He instructed the two Elders,"Watch closely. Don't let anything go wrong."
The two elders bowed and accepted the order. One of the gray-robed elders sighed and said,""I don't know this time. How many of them would be able to survive?”
"This kind of 'Heart Flame' body tempering is far from the kind of 'Heart Flame' that one can compare to when training in the upper levels. Even if one had a strong will, one would not have absolute confidence in enduring that burning pain.”Su Qian spoke in a faint voice.
The other elder smiled bitterly and nodded. He said,"Only four of the top ten people on the 'Strong Ranking' from the previous batch managed to endure it. The remaining six people all failed. Moreover, they even suffered quite a serious internal injury. They recuperated for two to three months before they recovered. Ugh, although the benefits of this 'Heart Flame' body refinement are tempting, it is not that easy to enjoy."”
"Let's see what happens." Su Qian spoke in a faint voice,"That's right, how is the Fallen Heart Flame recently?" Is there any movement?"
The grey-robed elder from before replied,""The 'Fallen Heart Flame' has been very calm during this period of time. It does not even have the slightest fluctuation. If we had not detected any signs of its activity, we would have thought that it had fled.”
"No movement?" Not only was Su Qian not happy when he heard this, his expression had instead gradually become solemn. The 'Fallen Heart Flame' had been attacking the seal for so many years. How could it suddenly be completely silent? The so-called 'abnormal is a demon'. Could it be that the Fallen Heart Flame was brewing something?
Thoughts swirled in his mind. Su Qian's expression became increasingly solemn. A moment later, he said in a deep voice,"How is the seal?"
"We gathered all the Elders of the Inner Academy and completely repaired the shattered seal.”The elder replied," Furthermore, even if the first layer of the seal fails, there is still the seal personally set up by the headmaster. It will be very difficult to break through it.
"Even though this is the case, we still have to be careful. After all, a 'Heavenly Flame' is the most violent energy in the world. If we relax, it will destroy the Inner Academy. Our academy cannot afford to do so.”
"Send more people to monitor the movements of the 'Fallen Heart Flame'. Immediately send a signal to me if there is any abnormality. I've already informed the outer court. If there's anything unusual, I'll rush over immediately.”Su Qian spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!" The two elders hurriedly replied respectfully when they heard this.
