Chapter 17: Saving Ziyan

Having obtained the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame, the next target was the mature Fallen Heart Flame.

Having stayed here for two days, Jiang Xing and Lin Shan were already familiar with the location of the Exotic Fire.

When the fire python, formed by the mature Fallen Heart Flame, saw Jiang Xing and Lin Shan, these two humans, once again, it instinctively wanted to flee.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength was too great; it was quickly caught up to by Lin Shan, who struck it back to its original form with a single palm, turning it back into a colorless flame.

Jiang Xing first placed this Fallen Heart Flame into a specially made container, then threw the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame into the magma, and subsequently had Lin Shan take him away.

In the original story, Jia Nan Academy was somewhat unable to control the Fallen Heart Flame, and coupled with Han Feng taking advantage of the Fallen Heart Flame's riot to snatch the Exotic Fire, Xiao Yan absorbing the Exotic Fire could be considered saving the students of Jia Nan Academy and helping the academy, so Great Elder Su Qian did not blame him much.

If this mature Fallen Heart Flame were replaced with a controllable juvenile Fallen Heart Flame, Jia Nan Academy would certainly be able to control it. Jiang Xing was quite curious about what Xiao Yan would do—would he forcibly snatch it from the academy that nurtured him, or would he give up?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xing suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more like a villain.

……

Not long after Jiang Xing took the Fallen Heart Flame away, the elders guarding the Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower felt that something was wrong.

At first, they felt that the effect of the Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower in accelerating cultivation had suddenly weakened, and they originally thought it was caused by the unstable energy of the Fallen Heart Flame, and that it would be fine in a while.

However, they waited for a long time and it did not return to normal, so they felt that something was amiss.

Therefore, an elder hurriedly went to call Great Elder Su Qian. After Great Elder Su Qian arrived and sensed it, he also discovered that something was wrong.

"How could the energy of this Exotic Fire have weakened so much?"

The Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower was the foundation of Jia Nan Academy and could not afford any mistakes, so Su Qian took several elders down to the bottom of the tower.

Just as they arrived at the bottom of the tower, they saw that juvenile Fallen Heart Flame, and the few of them looked at each other in dismay.

"This...?"

Su Qian: Where is my huge fire python??

……

After taking away the large Fallen Heart Flame, Jiang Xing originally wanted to return directly to the Snake People Clan, but he suddenly remembered that there was another opportunity for Xiao Yan in the mountain range near Jia Nan Academy—the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk.

The Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk is known as a spiritual object of the earth, condensed with the help of the power of heaven and earth. Condensed for a hundred years, it forms Earth Heart Mist, which has the miraculous effect of solidifying the body. Condensed for a thousand years, it forms Earth Heart Liquid, which can help people wash the marrow and cut the bones. And the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk is the best among the Earth Heart Liquid; not only does it have the effect of washing the marrow and cutting the bones, but it can also help some people who have reached the peak to break through barriers. Except for the lower probability, the effect is comparable to some top-grade medicinal pills. Because the Snow Demon Sky Ape possessed it, it could speak human language when it was at the fifth rank.

This thing provided no small help to Xiao Yan in the early stages; it was with the help of the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk that Xiao Yan broke through from an Eight-Star Great Dou Master to a Dou Ling.

Although with his current strength, the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk was no longer useful to him, he could snatch it for Qing Lin since he couldn't use it.

Perhaps it was because of controlling that Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and Yao Lao's Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, after Jiang Xing brought Qing Lin back to teach her cultivation, in less than a month, she had already gone from having no Dou Qi to the Sixth-Stage Dou Zhi Qi, which was simply terrifying.

This Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk could be saved for Qing Lin to use when breaking through to Dou Ling.

And so, Jiang Xing flew in that direction.

Jiang Xing didn't remember where that mountain range was, but it didn't matter. Sixth-rank Magic Beasts could already speak. After Jiang Xing and Lin Shan intimidated a bear-type Magic Beast, this Magic Beast obediently led the way for them.

With the beast leading the way, the two of them hurried towards the direction of the Snow Demon Sky Ape's habitat.

Just as they were about to arrive, Jiang Xing suddenly sensed energy fluctuations of a fight in the direction of the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

Arriving near the Snow Demon Sky Ape's habitat, Jiang Xing saw a little girl fighting with the Snow Demon Sky Ape.

I saw this little girl with purple hair, wearing a purple dress, and having exquisite features.

Ziyan?

Seeing these characteristics of the little girl, Jiang Xing immediately thought of Ziyan.

The little girl had great strength; her fists were small, but they possessed powerful energy. When colliding with the Snow Demon Sky Ape's huge fists, the little girl only took one step back, while the Snow Demon Sky Ape was shaken back three steps.

"How could I have forgotten her!"

Seeing the little girl possess such terrifying brute force, Jiang Xing finally confirmed that this little girl was Ziyan.

In the original story, Ziyan's father, the Void Ancient Dragon Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, was trapped by a trap designed by the Tuoshe Gu Di because he coveted the Gu Di Cave, causing Ziyan to be lost outside. After accidentally eating a Transformation Grass, she turned into a human form and was brought back to the inner academy by the Great Elder of Jia Nan Academy. It was only with Xiao Yan's help that she was taken back to Dragon Island for cultivation, and finally, after absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, her cultivation reached the early stage of a Four-Star Dou Saint.

She is simply a little cheater. If Ziyan could be tricked over to help unify the Ancient Dragon Island, not only could he get the support of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, but when opening the Gu Di Cave, he could also let Zhu Kun help him...

Tsk tsk tsk, how could I have forgotten her at the beginning.

After the Snow Demon Sky Ape was repelled by Ziyan again, it let out an angry roar, hammered its chest with its fists, and began to awaken its Berserk Bloodline, and then its momentum began to skyrocket.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape is a Magic Beast guarding the Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk, and its strength is comparable to a Dou Wang powerhouse. If it is in a berserk state, its strength can reach the level of a five-star Dou Wang. However, any method of instantly increasing power has its sequelae, and the Snow Demon Sky Ape's Berserk Bloodline is naturally no exception. After being activated during the day, it will enter a weak period at night.

To have forced the Snow Demon Sky Ape to activate its Berserk Bloodline, one can see how angry it was at this time.

At this time, the Snow Demon Sky Ape, which had awakened its Berserk Bloodline, also reached the level of a five-star Dou Wang in momentum, roaring and pouncing towards Ziyan.

Ziyan was also startled by the sudden surge in the Snow Demon Sky Ape's strength, her face changed greatly, and she directly spread her Dou Qi wings and wanted to run.

But the Snow Demon Sky Ape after going berserk was faster than Ziyan, and with terrifying speed, it flashed to Ziyan's vicinity, raised its huge fist, and smashed it towards Ziyan.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape's speed was too fast. When Ziyan reacted, the fist was already close to her body. Knowing that she couldn't dodge, Ziyan could only hurriedly wave her fist to block.

The two fists collided, and Ziyan's hurriedly waved fist couldn't stop the Snow Demon Sky Ape at all. The latter's fist hit Ziyan's body fiercely.

Ziyan was smashed and flew out for dozens of meters by the Snow Demon Sky Ape. After Ziyan was smashed and flew away, the Snow Demon Sky Ape was obviously still unwilling to give up. After an excited roar, it ran towards Ziyan's direction again, jumped up, and swung its fist down towards Ziyan's head.

Ziyan, who fell to the ground, felt the power of this punch, and was so frightened that her little face turned pale, and she closed her eyes in fear.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Ziyan, also waving a fist to smash over, blocking the punch that should have hit Ziyan.

Hearing the sound of the fist collision, Ziyan slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.
