We haven’t seen each other for over a month, and you’ve already broken through to the Dou Spirit realm!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Xiao Yan: Brother Pang, my rapid cultivation is mainly thanks to my master frequently refining pills to boost my foundation, plus the Enlightenment Boost function in the group—without them, I couldn’t have reached the Dou Spirit realm so smoothly!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Xiao Yan: Besides, even if my cultivation speed is fast, it still can’t compare to Brother Han! How long has it been since he broke through to the Nascent Soul mid-stage?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Han Li: Don’t bring that up! You don’t know how much group points the Enlightenment Boost now demands after I reached Nascent Soul—I’m barely breaking even!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Cao Cao: I said it—Han’s been lurking more lately. Turns out he’s running out of points!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Pang Bo: @Han Li, you rich bastard, how dare you complain? Since joining the group, how many favors have you extracted from the group owner using Cantian Zhaohua Dew? Now you’re acting all innocent—why not voluntarily drop your cultivation? Let your Wan’er absorb your qi like in the original plot—then your cultivation would drop, and you’d need fewer points for Enlightenment Boost!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Han Li: This… let’s just watch Xiao Yan absorb the Flame—it’s about to begin!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Pang Bo: You’re too slick, kid!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan and the Grand Elder Su Qian had appeared inside the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, with the spirit-only Yaosheng Yao Chen floating beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colorful energy barrier now sealed off the entire front area—a seal crafted collectively by the Tianfen Tower’s many elders to prevent the Falling Heart Flame from erupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, torrents of blood-red magma surged from the earth, slamming violently against the colorful barrier with boundless power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Elder Su Qian turned to Xiao Yan and said seriously: “The Falling Heart Flame is vital to our entire Jia Nan Academy. I hope you honor your promise—after taking the Flame, leave a portion of it within the Tianfen Tower. This is our academy’s foundation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, after countless eons of cultivation, Su Qian had never heard of anyone retaining part of a Flame after subduing it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Xiao Yan’s cultivation speed now far exceeds that of the original timeline, so the Falling Heart Flame here has not yet reached the uncontrollable state described in the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, Su Qian would never allow anyone to subdue the Falling Heart Flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xiao Yan offered too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, to absorb the Falling Heart Flame, Xiao Yan had gifted Jia Nan Academy over a dozen Grade-7 elixirs—elixirs even a Dou Zong like him found irresistible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xiao Yan had promised that even after subduing the Flame, he would leave a portion of it within the Tianfen Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what truly convinced Su Qian to allow Xiao Yan to subdue the Flame was Xiao Yan’s master—the spirit-only “Yaosheng” Yao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Yao Chen now existed only as a spirit, Su Qian had once, “accidentally,” witnessed his power—undoubtedly Dou Sheng-level strength. Even if Jia Nan’s headmaster Mang Tianchi were still alive, he’d be no match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing Yao Chen’s power, Su Qian understood: if he refused Xiao Yan’s request, Jia Nan Academy might soon face the wrath of a “Yaosheng…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be the wrath of a Yaosheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to agree from the start—those dozen Grade-7 elixirs were real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Elder, rest assured!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan nodded and promised: “After I subdue the Falling Heart Flame, I’ll give you a far more stable Tianfen Tower!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Su Qian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he had no choice but to trust Xiao Yan’s word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Su Qian arranged everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he ordered all students to evacuate the Tianfen Tower, then summoned the academy’s elders to guard against accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all preparations were complete, Su Qian led Xiao Yan into the colorful energy barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep, thunderous roar echoed in their ears; the entire Tianfen Tower began to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, please act!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan gazed at the erupting magma below and respectfully addressed Yao Chen beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current Dou Spirit level, he was still insufficient to handle such danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Yao Chen, in spirit form, simply extended one hand—and the surging magma below instantly calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a massive transparent fire serpent burst forth from the magma below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yaosheng, Xiao Yan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Elder Su Qian, watching the snarling serpent, explained: “This is the Falling Heart Flame. After millennia of accumulation, it has developed sentience—it’s now nearly indistinguishable from a demonic beast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for the warning, Grand Elder!” Xiao Yan replied promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the serpent’s grotesque head, emerging from the magma, turned toward Yao Chen—it clearly sensed immense threat from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“ROAR!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Falling Heart Flame, as the serpent, let out a deafening roar; invisible waves erupted violently in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the serpent spat endless flames—wherever they passed, space twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames moved swiftly, arriving before Xiao Yan and the others in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yao Chen merely let out a cold snort—the flames froze mid-air, then slowly dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grand Elder Su!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Chen turned to Su Qian and said calmly: “Your presence here is no longer needed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand!” Su Qian nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Yao Chen meant to prevent him from witnessing Xiao Yan’s subduing of the Flame, so he promptly retreated beyond the seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Su Qian left, Yao Chen let out another cold snort, instantly suppressing the Falling Heart Flame’s power below the Dou Wang level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, it’s your turn now,” Yao Chen’s gaze turned to Xiao Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, rest assured!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan vowed firmly: “I won’t disappoint you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Xiao Yan plunged directly into the magma below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had been pre-arranged with Yao Chen before his first attempt to subdue the Falling Heart Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Yao Chen could easily suppress the Falling Heart Flame, he could not assist Xiao Yan in absorbing it using the Burning Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in their plan, Yao Chen only needed to suppress the Flame to Dou Spirit level—the rest would be left entirely to Xiao Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would both train Xiao Yan and slightly increase his chance of successfully fusing with the Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH! WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinite flames rose from the subterranean magma layer; as Xiao Yan entered, he had to use his Dou Qi to resist the magma’s damage, fight the Falling Heart Flame to the utmost, and most importantly, locate its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since this subterranean world, while imprisoning the Falling Heart Flame, also granted it boundless power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Yao Chen had suppressed its strength, it still equated to a Dou Spirit peak warrior with infinite Dou Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xiao Yan had endured long training and repeatedly used the group’s Enlightenment Boost function, refining his various Dou Skills to perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside this realm, even an ordinary Dou Wang would struggle to defeat Xiao Yan now; the Falling Heart Flame, though possessing boundless energy, was no match for him while suppressed by Yao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Falling Heart Flame, stop struggling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yan punched the serpent’s massive head aside, then charged again toward its core: “Surrender willingly—become a stepping stone on my path to greatness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Pang Bo: Look! Doesn’t Xiao Yan look like a villain right now?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Han Li: Definitely a villain! The Falling Heart Flame was born of heaven and earth, barely gained sentience, imprisoned by Jia Nan Academy, and now about to be refined by Xiao Yan—so tragic!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Xiao Yan: Brother Han, Brother Pang, don’t stand there talking like you’re above it all! Brother Pang, when you ate the Immortal Herb, did you care that it had sentience? And you, Han, same thing!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Pang Bo: Hahaha… I was just joking! Xiao Yan, hurry up and subdue the Flame! According to your original plot, after this, your strength will surge—you’ll break through to Dou Wang, maybe even rival Han Li’s Nascent Soul mid-stage!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Li from the Immortal Cultivation of the Commoner world blinked at Pang Bo’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Xiao Yan not only has a master rivaling a Dou Sheng, but every time he fuses a Flame, it’s like cheating—once he fuses a few more, his position as the second strongest in the group after the owner won’t last!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Han Li felt urgency rise: “No! Next time I trade with the group owner, I must get more resources to rapidly boost my cultivation—hurry to reach Nascent Soul late-stage, even become a Soul Transformation cultivator!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, aiming to subdue the Falling Heart Flame in one go, reached a critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flashed like a ghost, appearing instantly beside the Flame’s core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his Dou Qi erupted, forming a vast energy net that completely enveloped the Falling Heart Flame’s core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent roar echoed as boundless invisible flames writhed within the net, eventually condensing into a slender flame snake, as thick as an arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tiny flame snake seemed to contain infinite energy, relentlessly slamming against the energy net formed from Xiao Yan’s Dou Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Falling Heart Flame’s power had been fully suppressed by Yao Chen—no matter how it struggled, it could not break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Xiao Yan fully controlled the Flame’s core, he immediately activated the Burning Scripture; the energy net began to contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xiao Yan activated the Burning Scripture, the Falling Heart Flame reacted as if facing ultimate terror—its entire flame body trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the Flame’s power not been suppressed, it might have resisted slightly against the Burning Scripture—but now, it was helpless meat on the chopping block!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as Xiao Yan began refining the Falling Heart Flame, his spirit soon entered the Multiverse Chat Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enlightenment Boost—activate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, to subdue the Falling Heart Flame, Xiao Yan had prepared meticulously—even prepared three sets of points to activate the Enlightenment Boost function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pang Bo: Xiao Yan, you little brat, that’s cheating!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Xiao Yan: Brother Pang, I’m just being cautious!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although in the original story Xiao Yan successfully fused the Falling Heart Flame, the process was extremely dangerous; now that there’s a better way, he naturally wanted to prepare thoroughly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, joining the Multiverse Chat Group was itself his stroke of fortune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a chaotic region called the Black Corner Domain, not far from the Jia Nan Academy, lay a city named Feng City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng City was not large by the standards of this chaotic region, yet it held a pivotal position, for it was home to a sixth-rank alchemist, the “Alchemical Emperor” Han Feng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a sixth-rank alchemist, Han Feng’s alchemical skill was unmatched throughout the Black Corner Domain, and he was regarded as an honored guest by countless factions and powerful figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even across the entire Qi Energy Continent, a sixth-rank alchemist was exceedingly rare; most Dou Huangs, and even Dou Zong experts, treated him with great respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the heart of Feng City lay a serene bamboo grove, a forbidden zone in the hearts of countless people, rarely approached by anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the grove stood a mysterious bamboo pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the top of this pavilion sat a man clad in an alchemist’s robe, upon whose garment was embroidered an exquisitely detailed character: “Feng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was none other than the lord of Feng City, the sixth-rank alchemist, the “Alchemical Emperor” Han Feng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Han Feng was immersed in studying a medicinal formula, utterly focused and undistracted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just as Xiao Yan began refining the Falling Heart Flame, Han Feng’s lowered head snapped up, and he gazed far off toward the direction of the Jia Nan Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This feeling…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Feng sensed the strange fluctuation and began to think intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Han Feng seemed to realize something, his face instantly filled with shock and doubt: “Is this the fluctuation of a Strange Fire?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, he flicked his fingertip, and a thread of flame, clear as a mountain lake, rose from his body—it was the Strange Fire he had spent countless efforts to subdue: Sea Heart Flame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Sea Heart Flame rose, Han Feng’s soul power surged, and his previously vague perception became crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It truly is a Strange Fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Feng waved his hand and retracted the Sea Heart Flame, then gazed hungrily toward the direction of the Jia Nan Academy: “The energy fluctuation originated from within the Inner Court of the Jia Nan Academy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Jia Nan Academy isn’t easy to provoke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of caution crossed Han Feng’s face, but it was quickly replaced by greed: “Yet their headmaster hasn’t appeared in many years—perhaps he’s already dead! Moreover, if I can obtain another Strange Fire and devour it using the Burning Scripture, even if the Jia Nan Academy’s headmaster reappears, he won’t be my match!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Han Feng immediately summoned his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take these tokens and notify the Earth Flame Sect, the Eight Gates, the Blood Sect…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Feng named off many organizations—all superpowers within the Black Corner Domain: “Have their sect leaders come to Feng City at once; I need their help. Also, personally deliver these two tokens to invite two gentlemen to assist me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than Han Feng flung over a dozen tokens; the final two—one gold, one silver—caused his subordinates’ expressions to change: “Master, those two aren’t easy to summon—even you would need to offer them something truly tempting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just do as I say!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Feng ordered directly: “If they help me achieve my goal, I’ll naturally prepare something suitable for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Han Feng’s orders, his subordinate nodded and vanished immediately, clearly off to notify the powerful figures of the various factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his subordinate disappear, Han Feng rose and gazed toward the Jia Nan Academy, his face filled with greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long! After waiting so many years, I finally have a chance to obtain a second Strange Fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of fanaticism crossed Han Feng’s face: “If I can devour and refine it, my strength will surge dramatically—then returning to the Central Continent will be no problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, a flicker of anger crossed Han Feng’s face: “Damn old bastard, if you’d only given me the Burning Scripture to cultivate and handed over the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, would I have ever plotted against you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that Wind Patriarch—he’s been chasing this matter relentlessly! Once I fuse the second Strange Fire, he’ll be the first I deal with!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2598,"2026-06-20T09:18:16.807Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4bf88da8487822ee31f2c0d010b204ccd2721183fff598de74d843b521ef42e6","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-72","all-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-chapter-70",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fall-heavens-starting-from-consuming-starry-sky-t-cover.jpg"]
