A vibrant energy dome, resembling a resplendent lid, sealed the deep chasm with remarkable firmness. At the very moment it took shape, ripples of disturbance surged outward, clearly indicating that this seemingly casually condensed dome possessed an exceptionally powerful energy. This robust dome was an established seal within the inner courtyard, designed to be activated by any senior elder at a critical moment—specifically to guard against the sudden surge of the fallen Heart Flame. Nevertheless, although the dome was strong, when a scorching heat approached within a blink, its surface rippled with the intensity of a lake disturbed by a massive stone. "Boom!" A vast, blood-red lava suddenly surged forth from the endless depths, then crashed with overwhelming force against the vibrant energy shield, producing a deep, resonant sound that reverberated throughout the lower levels of the tower. As the sound first echoed, fine cracks suddenly appeared on the shield, climbing up from the subtly changed expression on Su Qian's face, and finally burst open with a crisp, sharp sound. After years of accumulated intensity, this eruption of the Yunluo Xin Yan was more violent than any previous one. Consequently, the exceptionally resilient energy shield shattered completely during the initial impact between the two forces. As the saying goes, "With the first surge, one gains momentum; with the second, one weakens; with the third, one exhausts." The powerful, pent-up energy unleashed by the Yunluo Xin Yan this time left even Su Qian feeling a deep sense of awe. As the energy dome shattered, a towering column of blood-red magma, stretching over thirty meters in width, erupted like a volcanic blast from within the deep cavern! At the same time, along the edges of the cavern, the turbulent cylindrical energy dome surged again, sweeping across and fully shielding the magma streams that sought to spill outward. "Drink! Seal!" The first seal was broken, and although Su Qian's expression showed slight fluctuation, he remained calm. With a swift series of hand seals, he once again issued a low command. As the command echoed, a powerful surge of energy rippled instantly across the deep cavern ceiling, and then, within moments, a vibrant, multicolored energy dome swiftly solidified. … At the eighth level of the Heavenly Burn Qi Tower, as Xiao Yan and the others just awoke from their Heart-Innate Body-Forging exercise, they heard Su Qian’s thunderous voice resonating clearly in their ears. All of them were momentarily stunned. After a brief pause, Xiao Yan, suddenly grasping the significance, his eyes lit up with excitement. He knew that only the fall of the Heart-Innate Flame could have prompted Su Qian to speak with such solemnity. The two senior elders who had been continuously attending to Xiao Yan and the others also heard Su Qian’s command. Their faces immediately turned pale as they exchanged glances, each reading a shared sense of alarm. “You must quickly exit the tower—do not delay!” the gray-robed elder turned to Lin Yan and the others, who were still looking puzzled, and said urgently, “Hurry now—leave the Heavenly Burn Qi Tower!” Upon hearing this, Lin Yan and the others exchanged a few puzzled glances, yet did not hesitate. Clearly, something of great importance had just occurred within the tower. Several people stood up and quickly turned around, hastening down the path they had come. After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Yan glanced subtly at the deep cavern in the center. Thanks to the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, he could clearly sense a remarkably intense heat gathering beneath the cavern, and a violent, startling surge of energy rapidly rising from below. "Xiao Yan, get out of here now!" Seeing Xiao Yan falling behind, one elder urgently urged him once more. Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan said nothing, instead taking hold of Zi Yan, who looked curious, and quickly catching up with Lin Xiu'ya and the others. Under the watchful eyes of the two elders, the group entered the path they had originally taken. Once Xiao Yan and the others had departed, the two elders finally exhaled in relief, exchanged glances, and then swiftly moved, vanishing into the empty space of the tower. In the dimly lit corridor, Xiao Yan and his companions hurried forward, their atmosphere noticeably more lively than on the way in—perhaps due to the absence of Su Qian's guidance. "Hey, Xiao Yan, do you know what's been happening inside the tower?" Lin Yan approached him with a mysterious air, grinning cheerfully. Xiao Yan paused, then shook his head with a smile. Seeing Xiao Yan hesitate, Lin Yan seemed pleased and was about to reveal the secret when Zi Yan, with a dismissive flick of her lips, spoke up in her youthful voice, echoing through the corridor, "Isn't it just the flames at the base of the tower erupting? This isn't the first time it's happened in the past few years." Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with surprise—she too knew about the flames sealed at the tower's base? Lin Yan smiled slightly, then frowned at Xiao Yan, saying, "But this time it seems different. Although energy surges have occurred within the Tower in past years, no one has ever seen the Senior Elder so serious before." "The energy within the Tower has indeed become much more turbulent. I used to notice it only vaguely, but after undergoing the Heart Flame Body Training, I now find this sensation increasingly clear." Suddenly, Lin Xiu'ya also turned his head, his brows furrowed, adding. Lin Xiu'ya's words immediately drew a wave of agreement—indeed, everyone felt that their sensitivity to the energy of the world around them had sharpened significantly since completing the Heart Flame Body Training, clearly one of its benefits. "Well, these matters don't require our intervention. With the Senior Elder and the other elders' strength, there should be no issue at all," Xiao Yan said with a light smile. If, in his former capacity and strength, he had spoken, the most outstanding students from the Inner Courtyard would certainly have paid little attention. But now it is different—everyone present would no longer overlook a single word he said. Thus, listening to him, the group nodded with smiles and moved on, not lingering over the topic, and hastened toward the tower's peak. After nearly fifteen minutes of swift progress, Xiao Yan and his companions finally emerged from the winding, dimly lit passage and reached the open plaza on the first floor of the Tianfen Qigong Tower. As萧炎's steps reached the final step, his gaze instantly shifted to the massive deep cavern at the center. However, upon a quick glance, his expression subtly changed—because he noticed that what had once been entirely black inside the cavern now displayed a faint blood-red hue, and along the edges of the cavern, a colossal cylindrical energy shield, resembling a water curtain, tightly enclosed the entire deep space. The gaze moved upward along the cylindrical energy shield, and Xiao Yan noticed that it directly connected to the dark black spire of the Tianfen Qi-Tower. As he recalled the energy shield he had seen on the lower level, Xiao Yan suddenly understood: these deep openings faced each other across the distance, and the surrounding energy shields served as the connecting hubs between them. With these shields providing protection, even if the Yu-Luo Xin-Yan erupted, the force would travel only through the shields, straight toward the tower's apex, causing minimal damage within the tower itself. If the energy directly struck the spire, however, Xiao Yan remembered from his first encounter with the Tianfen Qi-Tower that he had sensed a powerful seal encasing the dark black tower body—breaking through that seal would surely require substantial energy expenditure. The energy shield appearing at the center of the vast tower space also caught the attention of Lin Xiu-ya and the others. All of them exchanged surprised glances, each expressing some bewilderment. "Hmph, well, let's just go. These must have been set up by the senior elders of the Inner Chamber. Don't bother with anything extra—otherwise, if something goes wrong, the consequences could be quite serious." Glancing at the blood-red glow emanating from the deep chasm, Lin Xiu'ya felt a quiet unease in his heart, so he quickly urged the group forward. Hearing his encouragement, the others shared a similar sense of anticipation. After undergoing the Heart-Flame Body-Forging process, they seemed to have a subtle, almost imperceptible awareness of potentially hazardous objects. Though reluctant, Xiao Yan couldn't help but follow the group's lead and merely nodded. However, just as they had walked only a few dozen steps along the edge, a surge of liquid erupted with a thunderous roar, like a waterfall crashing down. Amid this sudden, strange noise, everyone froze, their eyes following the sound until they all fixed their gaze on the deep chasm, glowing with a blood-red hue. "What in the world is happening?" One person swallowed a lump of saliva quietly and asked cautiously, for in this setting, such an eerie, thunderous sound was enough to send a chill down one's spine. Xiao Yan fixed his gaze steadily on the deep chasm's opening, clearly sensing a powerful, turbulent energy rushing swiftly toward it. Zǐ Yán, too, seemed to sense the terrifying force of that energy, her face subtly changing, her small hands tightly gripping Xiao Yan's sleeve. As the energy shield shattered, a massive column of blood-red magma, stretching dozens of meters wide, surged forth from deep within the cavern, flooding the area before crashing with tremendous force against the tip of the tower, right in the midst of the astonishment of Xiao Yan and the others.
