241: Chapter 241 Emperor-Rank Battle Technique: Demon Possession, I Have It Too!

"Crack!"

Gu Han used his powerful Soul Power to open a gap in the light barrier and then dove right in.

He could feel a strange power sweeping over him; it was a ripple from a Soul that had reached the Spirit Realm level.

Venerable Skyfire being able to survive meant he truly had some tricks up his sleeve.

With a thought, he crossed through space and arrived ten feet away from the skeleton at the very center of the light barrier.

"As expected, it's the Fallen Heart Flame."

Gu Han's gaze fell upon a certain spot on the skeleton where a head-sized flame was burning. Its temperature and influence were much weaker than the one beneath the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower—the difference between an infant and an adult.

"Go!"

Gu Han raised his hand to summon the Yin Yang Twin Flames, which transformed into a Yin Yang taiji diagram. It enveloped the Fallen Heart Flame seedling and then directly entered the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.

A green lotus that could nurture the Green Lotus Core Flame, a taiji diagram nurturing the Yin Yang Twin Flames in the Void Realm, a Bone Chilling Flame seedling that had just been cultivated, and a Fallen Heart Flame seedling.

In the future, the number of Heavenly Flames he possessed would likely surpass Xiao Yan's.

"Are you still not coming out?"

A golden pattern appeared on Gu Han's brow, emitting a beam of light that landed on a part of the skeleton.

"Young friend, your talent and strength are somewhat ridiculously high." A white light shot out from the skeleton, transforming into an illusory figure in the blink of an eye.

His hair and beard were snow-white, and his face was aged. His calm eyes flickered with a sharp light, giving off a burning sense of pressure.

"At such a young age, your Soul Realm is actually above mine. It truly makes this old man feel ashamed." The old man stroked his illusory beard. "I haven't appeared on the continent for many years. Could it be that the cultivation environment has improved?"

"You'll have to find that answer yourself, Senior." Gu Han cupped his hands. "Old Mister, you must be the owner of this skeleton. If my senses aren't wrong, you were a Dou Zun Expert when you were alive."

"Any Dou Zun holds a great reputation on the continent. How did you end up falling here?"

"I only have my own greed to blame. It also has to do with you taking away the Fallen Heart Flame seedling." The old man immediately began to explain the reason: two Fallen Heart Flames were incompatible within his body, leading to his heavy injuries and death.

He also revealed his identity as Yao Tianhuo, known to the world as Venerable Skyfire.

"If no one had come here, I would have eventually perished as time passed. After all, my Soul hasn't reached the Heaven Realm level where it can freely leave the body for a short period."

"Young friend, would you be willing to take me out and find a way to help me resurrect? I am willing to grant you my signature Dou Technique, which is comparable to a Heaven Rank technique when executed to its limit."

"If I can be resurrected, I can protect you until you no longer need it."

This promise was exactly what Gu Han wanted. After a slight hesitation, he nodded. "Senior, I hope you don't mind if I make some modifications to your remains?"

"Of course not." Yao Tianhuo shook his head. If he could be resurrected in the future, he would naturally have a new body and wouldn't need this thing.

Out with the old, in with the new.

"Go!"

Gu Han released the Yin Yang Twin Flames to refine Yao Tianhuo's skeleton. About fifteen minutes later, only the essence remained, which transformed into a crystal-clear jade thumb ring.

"Senior, until I can resurrect you, I'll have to trouble you to reside here for now." Gu Han pointed at the ring. He didn't want Yao Tianhuo living in the ring Xun'er had given him.

"Young friend has good methods." Yao Tianhuo marveled once more and turned into a streak of light, vanishing into the jade thumb ring.

"Now, I also have the Imperial Rank Dou Technique, Ghost Possession." Gu Han smiled inwardly.

According to his estimates, if Yao Tianhuo lent him a hand, his cultivation could surge to around a seven-star Dou Zong. More importantly, his Soul would possess a trace of the Heaven Realm's power.

At that time, by using the powerful Dou Techniques he mastered, he could slaughter anyone at the Dou Zong level with ease and even dare to fight an ordinary Dou Zun.

"Perfect, someone will be coming soon for me to practice on."

Gu Han didn't plan to let Yao Tianhuo enter the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm. When he entered it himself in the future, he would let the old man sleep in the jade ring to recover his Soul Power.

A Dou Zun-level combatant was naturally better resurrected as soon as possible. In the future, he could even oversee the Cloud Mist Sect.

"It seems I'll have to use Old Yao again. But to have him and Xiao Yan help me refine the Medicinal Pill to resurrect Venerable Skyfire, and to have them use three types of Heavenly Flames, I must give them some benefits."

Thinking of this, Gu Han performed the Mystic Armor Heaven-Peering Art to calculate a feasible plan.

To put it simply: get a free ride from someone while they have no objections and even thank him for it.

Although his current relationship with Xiao Yan and Old Yao meant they wouldn't mind helping, he didn't like owing small favors.

"I can do it this way." Gu Han was amused.

Chatting with Yao Tianhuo, Gu Han began to return to the upper part of the Magma World.

His reason for going down into the Magma World was to explore the birthplace of the Fallen Heart Flame. Now that he had gained something, he naturally had to return.

After all, Yao Tianhuo had told him that there was a strange race below, which included existences that even he was wary of during his Peak.

In less than another half hour, Gu Han appeared at the bottom of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower and struck the energy shield with a palm.

"He's back."

Su Qian immediately formed a hand seal, opening a gap in the energy shield to let Gu Han out.

"You're finally back! How was the haul?" Zi Yan immediately rushed forward to ask, her large eyes filled with curiosity.

Those who knew Gu Han well understood clearly that if he went down, there must be benefits to be had.

"Not bad. I found a seedling Fallen Heart Flame. With some nurturing, it won't be inferior to the one in Jia Nan Academy," Gu Han replied with a smile.

"Holy crap!?" Xiao Yan pinched his thigh, his face full of disbelief. "Brother Gu, you found another Heavenly Flame?"

Wait, why did he say "another"?

It should be "yet again and again"!

Green Lotus Core Flame, Yin Yang Twin Flames, Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire... actually, the Sea Heart Flame counted too.

With this Fallen Heart Flame seedling, Gu Han hadn't made a Heavenly Flame radar based on a Dragon Ball radar, had he?

"Don't tell me it was luck again; I'll have a breakdown." Xiao Yan raised a hand to interrupt Gu Han's "spellcasting."

"Look at you, you've almost driven Little Yan crazy." Zi Yan nudged Gu Han with her elbow, laughing mischievously.

"I wasn't going to say it was luck." A faint smile appeared on Gu Han's cool face. "I found it through my own strength."

Xiao Yan: You'd better just say it was luck.

Who finds a Heavenly Flame through strength?

"Brother Gu." Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together. "Do you have a use for this Fallen Heart Flame? You know my Cultivation Technique is special; I'm not afraid of having too many Heavenly Flames, only of not having enough."

"Brother Xiao, don't even think about it. The Fallen Heart Flame has many uses; I have to keep it for myself." Gu Han shook his head and refused directly.

"Alright." Xiao Yan had guessed Gu Han might refuse, so he wasn't too disappointed.

After all, this was a Heavenly Flame. He hadn't been able to trade for the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire back then either.

But just then, Gu Han changed the subject. "However, if you agree to help me with a favor, I can help you get a Fallen Heart Flame that's even better than this seedling."

Xiao Yan: !!!

Su Qian: ?

Excuse me, is this even right!?
