Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony.

A rare event held once every fifty years, where the elders of Jia Nan Academy opened the outer seal of Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and allowed the Fallen Heart Flame to release excess fire dou qi.

This excess fire dou qi can be helpful to anyone who participates in the event as they can absorb it and increase their cultivation by leaps. After all, this excess energy accumulated for fifty years and has fearsome purity.

That fifty years' worth of energy should be enough to let someone break through their bottlenecks, and people stuck in their cultivations would seek a way to join this event and spend a massive amount of money, but Jia Nan Academy has its rules.

Only people affiliated with Jia Nan Academy and personally invited by the elder could join, which is why so many young cultivators want to join the Jia Nan Academy.

Jia Nan truly deserved to be called holy lands for dou practitioners.

As Su Qian started the event with some greetings and explanations, Baek Ain observed the surrounding area with his Sixth Sense and commented internally.

'This event doesn't exist in the original story.'

'Well, one of many things I have to solve myself.'

Baek Ain activated his Cinder's Eyes and focused on Su Qian and other elders from the Jia Nan Academy. He analyzed their movement and deduced the method to open Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower with Parallel Thinking.

Baek Ain is no genius.

However, he wasn't dumb either.

Under his gaze, lines upon lines of formation revealed their functions and formed a key to unsealing the outer layer of Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Baek Ain smiled and commented, "After this, I might have to learn Sealing Technique and more things about this world, not just Dou Techniques."

"Truly a mysterious world."

"You act like what they performed is uncommon." Lan Guan suddenly commented, hovering casually in the air.

Baek Ain chuckled and responded, "I'm young, so quite inexperienced."

"Unlike a certain someone."

"Are you implying that I was an old woman?" Lan Guan squinted her eyes, giving him a fierce look.

Baek Ain shrugged and countered casually, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself."

Lan Guan really wanted to throw her hand at this guy but held herself back. "This bastard..."

"UNSEAL!" Su Qian and other elders chanted, causing the area to tremble slightly.

And then.

ROAR!

A strong shockwave like a wild beast roar emerged from the tower and swept over everything within ten miles, causing everyone with a weak cultivation base to scream instinctively.

Even though the Grand Elder Su Qian and other elders have created a defensive formation, it still leaks.

A wry smile appeared on Su Qian's face because the Fallen Heart Flame had become more mighty than fifty years ago.

Of course, the other experts in the area didn't just stand there and do nothing as they prevented the shockwave from affecting the surrounding too much.

Even Lan Guan has drawn her comically large sword and created a shield of wind within the perimeter.

"Why are you guys so serious?" Baek Ain sighed while looking at this scene. "It's just a shockwave, chill."

After saying that, Baek Ain sliced the air with his finger casually and repelled the shockwave.

Ting!

The area becomes calm again.

"..." Su Qian.

"..." Lan Guan.

"..." And basically, everyone.

"See, just enjoy the ceremony." Baek Ain's playful laughter echoed in the area. All he did was counter the shockwave with a bit of his Blade Intent.

[Look at their faces] Alicia commented with an amused tone.

[They are looking at you like you were an alien or something, host]

"Y-You, that was an intent!" Lan Guan looked at Baek Ain in surprise.

"How did you master intent at such a young age?"

Baek Ain smiled and answered, "Talents and hard work."

"That's why everyone should train diligently."

Even though Baek Ain didn't use Dou Qi to enhance his voice, everyone could hear him very well. The students of Jia Nan Academy became excited and nodded in agreement. His words are indeed correct.

Su Qian cleared his throat and announced, "T-Then, we will proceed to the Thousand Flame Refinement Ceremony!"

Before everyone's eyes, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower slowly became crimson red and lightened the evening atmosphere.

It's faint, but people who are an alchemist or with a unique sense could see a mighty fire phyton appear from thin air. It was shockingly over ten meters thick and had an unknown length, having twisted flames covering its body. And a pair of enormous triangular eyes had invisible flames repeatedly spitting out of them.

It also has fangs the size of an adult's thighs, which is terrifying.

Rich fire dou qi enveloped the area and blessed everyone within that ten miles.

"Everyone, cultivate your dou qi! We only have three hours before the Fallen Heart Flame becomes agitated!" Su Qian warned, to which everyone responded with a nod.

As everyone focused on refining their dou qi, a sick young man silently snuck into Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

'Thanks for the loophole, Xiao Yan.' Baek Ain descended to the place Su Qian had given and meditated. His loved ones also cultivated not far away, absorbing as much rich fire dou qi as they could.

They didn't realize Baek Ain had created ten fire avatars to invade the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. One fire avatar will Sign In while the rest are trying to get valuable treasures below the tower, a magma pool with a hidden cave.

If something ever happened, Baek Ain could throw someone under the bus effortlessly.

A perfect scapegoat exists, after all.

Hehehe.

...

...

"Heavenly Flame..."

"Heavenly Flame! It's the easiest way to rekindle my beast flame and teacher's Chilling Bone Flame." Xiao Yan determined and limped through the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

"I can also recover from my injuries with this excessive Yang Energy."

He looked down at his crotch and added firmly, "Don't worry, I'll get you fixed soon, buddy!"

Baek Ain's avatars connected to himself, so he tried not to laugh but for Xiao Yan to say something like that with such conviction.

Baek Ain respected Xiao Yan for coping with his condition, as expected of the cultivation world's protagonist.

The avatars moved silently in the shadow and checked the room inside the tower with their Sixth Sense. As ten avatars reached the lower floors, the Fallen Heart Flame's existence became more menacing.

If the fire phyton outside is the manifestation, then the flame near Baek Ain's avatar is the actual body.

"Calm down there, fiery brat." Baek Ain possessed one of his avatars, slapping the Heavenly Flame with his hand.

"Grrr..." Fallen Heart Flame hissed at him.

Baek Ain pushed the fiery python's head away and commented, "Aih, stop being so sensitive. You act like girls in their period."

"Anyway, I have an offer for you."

"??" The Fallen Heart Flame frowned upon hearing that.

"Do you want to get out?"

"OwO?" The Fallen Heart Flame stopped, looking at him weirdly.

Fallen Heart Flame is a Heavenly Flame that has gained consciousness as it could understand Baek Ain's telepathy very well. It also hated the Jia Nan Academy for trapping itself here.

Baek Ain explained his offer, which basically weakened the inner seal of Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and allowed the Fallen Heart Flame to escape.

However, it depends on the Heavenly Flame itself whether the Fallen Heart Flame could escape this place or not.

Of course, this is not for free.

Baek Ain wanted the Fallen Heart Flame to escort him into the core area of Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, where he could Sign In and get the real rewards.

The Fallen Heart Flame hesitated before leading Baek Ain inside its prison room. They arrived at a sealing array with the core of Fallen Heart Flame inside.

[Ding! Do you want to sign in Meteoric Fallen Heart Flame's Core?]

"Yes."

[Ding! Congratulations, host!]

[You have obtained 1x Fallen Heart Flame's Adult Progeny(S), Thunderous Palm Strike(A+), Heaven-Capturing Flame Seal(S), and 2x Fallen Heart Rings]

A smile appeared on Baek Ain's face because Adult Progeny of Fallen Heart Flame is a carbon copy of the real one.

It lacked the strength because of its young age but could grow into a fearsome Heavenly Flame if cultivated properly.

"OwO!" The Fallen Heart Flame sensed something familiar inside Baek Ain's body.

As if asking Baek Ain how he possessed such a thing, the Fallen Heart Flame slapped its tail on the ground a few times.

"Aih, so demanding." Baek Ain sighed slightly. "It's my special ability."

"Don't overthink it."

"O_O!" The Fallen Heart Flame glanced down, having a sad look.

Baek Ain chuckled and commented, "Stop with the sad face. I'll open the seal so that you can get out."

"OWO!!" The Fallen Heart Flame nodded excitedly.

Baek Ain mimicked Su Qian's movements at the opening ceremony and modified them to break the seal placed onto the Fallen Heart Flame.

His other avatars have broken into the magma pool under the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, fighting countless fire lizards. They arrived at the hidden cave and discovered some human bones but no soul of the powerhouse like in the original story.

It was weird as these bones contained rhyme of Soul Energy as if it was an inheritance.

Thinking about it, Baek Ain commanded his avatars to take everything in the hidden caves and some fire lizards' corpses. "I'll create a small commotion." He said to the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Hehe, Do your best, fiery brat!" A wicked smirk formed on his face.

...

...

Xiao Yan moved to the lower floor and saw the Fallen Heart Flame swimming in the air, rolling its massive body.

"FALLEN HEART FLAME!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"I'VE COME TO BARGAIN!"

"..." Fallen Heart Flame looked at Xiao Yan like he was a weirdo.

Even then, the Heavenly Flame might be able to use Xiao Yan and escape this place.

The Fallen Heart Flame nodded at the eunuch protagonist, making him happier than ever.

"HAHAHA~! I'M GOING TO RECOVER FROM MY INJURIES AND BECOME THE MOST POWERFUL GENIUS IN THE ACADEMY!" Xiao Yan excitedly roared, unaware of a sly flicker in Fallen Heart Flame's eyes.

On the outside, everyone absorbed the rich fire dou qi and increased their cultivation base rapidly. Many people shouted happily as they finally made a breakthrough in their cultivation.

Baek Ain opened his eyes slowly and mumbled, "3-Star Dou Ancestor, not bad."

"Let's wait for five minutes before starting the fireworks."

"What a waste. The tower looks decent at night." He commented while looking at the beautiful crimson tower.

Five minutes passed, and Baek Ain commanded all his avatars to release themselves with an eruption.

CRACK!

A crack appeared out of nowhere.

"Hmm?" Su Qian and other elders of the Jia Nan Academy frowned.

CRACKS! BOOOM!

An explosion suddenly occurred below their feet as pilar of magma spurted from the ground. Earthquakes followed and shattered the defensive formation placed on the academy.

"No!" Su Qian has a panicked expression on his face.

"EVERYONE RUN!!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A disaster has happened.

Before their eyes, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower exploded into pieces and revealed the true Fallen Heart Flame. They were struck by fear as Heavenly Flame became violent and attacked everyone.

A young man stood on the tower's rubble, exposing his bare upper body to them. Orange sparks from the Fallen Heart Flame covered his body, leaving Su Qian and other elders speechless.

"DON'T WORRY, EVERYONE! EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL!" Xiao Yan declared confidently.

'Fool.' Baek Ain thought while shaking his head.

Su Qian and basically everyone from the Jia Nan Academy knew Xiao Yan, glaring at him darkly. "Young man, do you know what you were doing?" He asked coldly.

"Not only you destroyed our treasured Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower."

"You also injured your fellow disciples and took the Fallen Heart Flame under my nose. It IS A HUGE CRIME." He emphasized while giving Xiao Yan a stern look.

Xiao Yan wasn't afraid and explained, "Grand Elder, please appease your anger."

"I will try my best to compensate for everything."

"I'd even distribute my pills for free until everyone healed."

"With Fallen Heart Flame, I can-!"

Before Xiao Yan could finish his words, the Fallen Heart Flame became even more violent and escaped his body.

He panicked and shouted, "FLAME MANTRA!"

However, a mere dou technique that wasn't even at Xuan Grade couldn't restrain Fallen Heart Flame.

BOOOOOOOOM!!

"NO!" Xiao Yan roared as Fallen Heart Flame escaped, catching Su Qian and other elders off guard.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

COUGHS! COUGHS!

All the elders from the Jia Nan Academy fell from the sky, crashing to the ground like a meteor.

Lan Guan raised her sword and shouted, "PROTECT THE ACADEMY, DON'T LET THE FALLEN HEART FLAME RUN AWAY!"

Everyone, including Baek Ain, nodded their heads as they faced the Fallen Heart Flame bravely.

Two experts appeared in the sky, releasing their cultivations, and fought the Fallen Heart Flame. They are Guardians of the Jia Nan Academy and only reveal themselves when something like this happens.

BOOM!

Fallen Heart Flame roared angrily and repelled everyone with its massive body. Even if they are people with Dou Ancestor Realm, they can't fight the force of nature easily.

Once Fallen Heart Flame activates its unique ability, they are fallen into a horrible situation.

ROAAAAAAAR!!

BOOM!

With just one violent roar, everyone stopped moving awkwardly and felt an intense heat in their hearts. It is called "Heart Flame." an ability to plant fire inside one's heart and control it.

Fallen Heart Flame looked down at Xiao Yan as if it was mocking him and flew to the distance, leaving everyone stunned in disbelief.

Everyone trembled in rage and furiously moved their gazes to the limping young man.

"YOU BASTARD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Lan Guan screamed first.

"I-I..." Xiao Yan couldn't form a word because everything happened so fast. He couldn't react to the current situation.

Even Gu Xun'er couldn't help but feel helpless when witnessing Xiao Yan's idiocracy.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you..." Gu Xun'er murmured in disbelief.

A group of inner court students glared at Xiao Yan and shouted, "IT'S XIAO YAN'S FAULT!"

"HE CAUSED ALL OF THIS!!"
