92: Can't handle it? Then I have to ask for help! (Additional update

However, since Gu Fei was already here, he had to give it a try.

Qiu Ling noticed Gu Fei’s expression and shook his head lightly, not holding out much hope for him.

There were countless powerful individuals within the Pill Tower, and even the President couldn't refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Gu Fei’s chances were probably very slim.

“Young Master Gu Fei, you can separate a wisp of Soul Power and enter from here to see if you can appease the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Remember not to damage the Seal,” Qiu Ling said, pointing to a special scale on the giant Dragon.

“Appease?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei immediately felt a wave of internal derision.

No wonder no one in the Pill Tower had refined the Three Thousand Burning Flame for so many years.

This thing had already developed human-like intelligence; how could it be appeased?

There was no such thing as the true meaning of Buddhist Dharma in this world!

The Three Thousand Burning Flame had been imprisoned in the Star Domain for so many years, unable to gain freedom, and had long since developed a deep hatred for humans.

It would go on a rampage and slaughter at the first opportunity.

To refine it, one absolutely couldn't rely on that illusory “appeasement.” One had to directly obliterate the spiritual intelligence and consciousness it had developed, allowing it to revert to a state of Chaos, and then suppress and refine its Origin fire.

“Alright!”

Thinking this, Gu Fei temporarily stepped forward as instructed, his gaze sweeping over the imposing, flame-covered giant Dragon, then finding the Dragon scale as tall as a person.

Indeed, there were no flames swirling around it.

Gu Fei glanced at the Dragon scale and noticed that it was covered with black lines like spider silk.

These black lines intertwined, forming extremely peculiar runes, and these runes were tightly adhered to the Dragon scales, like a vast black net, completely enveloping the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Because of these runes, the Three Thousand Burning Flame was forced to remain bound here.

Gu Fei understood that this was a Seal jointly set up by the Pill Tower’s magnates. With the Seal in place, the Three Thousand Burning Flame could never leave the Star Domain.

He moved forward again, perceiving a faint deterrent Aura emanating from that Dragon scale.

“Let’s see how fierce this guy really is!”

With a probing mindset, Gu Fei extended his palm without further hesitation and gently touched the special Dragon scale.

Upon contact, there was surprisingly no heat at all; instead, it exuded a faint chill.

But Gu Fei had no time for doubt at this moment. He closed his eyes, and the Soul Power from his glabella cautiously flowed down his arm, then along the Dragon scale, slowly invading.

“Bang!”

After Gu Fei’s Soul Power invaded the Dragon scale, a faint, low sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately, Gu Fei’s Soul seemed to Breakthrough a layer of something, appearing in a strange, ethereal place.

This ethereal place was permeated with purplish-black flames, and in the center of those flames, Gu Fei looked up and saw a miniature version of a giant Dragon.

This small fire Dragon appeared somewhat miniature compared to the enormous Dragon in the Star Domain, but its Aura was even more terrifying.

However, at this moment, the small fire Dragon was coiled with its eyes closed, as if asleep.

Seeing the small fire Dragon with its eyes tightly shut, Gu Fei knew that this was the Origin fire of the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

Gu Fei knew that the Three Thousand Burning Flame was not truly asleep; the moment he entered, it had already noticed him.

“Three Thousand Burning Flame, I know you desperately want to escape. If you can submit to me, I can take you away from this place!”

His Soul Power swept over the small fire Dragon, and Gu Fei didn’t hide his intentions, directly stating his purpose.

The next moment, the small fire Dragon, which had been keeping its eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them.

Its Dragon eyes, filled with purplish-black flames, gleamed with coldness as they stared at Gu Fei’s wisp of Soul.

[Three Thousand Burning Flame generated mocking emotion, emotion value +30]

“Human, do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?”

“Submitting to you, how is that any different from dying?”

The fire Dragon suddenly spoke in a cold human voice, its tone full of mockery.

Even as powerful as it was, it had suffered many losses at the hands of humans.

After being suppressed in the Star Domain, wave after wave of humans came in, trying to refine it.

Since then, the Three Thousand Burning Flame clearly knew that every human desired its Origin fire.

But those people, with their ugly faces, spoke so nicely, saying they would take it out, set it free... truly laughable!

Refining the Origin fire meant, first and foremost, obliterating its spiritual intelligence. In that state, with only an empty shell remaining, how was it any different from being dead?

Even if spiritual intelligence could be reborn later, it would no longer have any connection to its original self.

“It seems you’re not stupid!”

Gu Fei was not surprised by the Three Thousand Burning Flame’s reaction; this exotic fire already possessed intelligence no different from a human’s.

[Three Thousand Burning Flame generated angry emotion, emotion value +30]

“Get out of my sight!”

Rage ignited in the Three Thousand Burning Flame’s cold Dragon eyes, and it roared furiously.

Purplish-black flames suddenly surged out from within the fire Dragon’s body, then swept overwhelmingly towards Gu Fei’s wisp of Soul.

If Gu Fei’s main body had entered, he might have been able to contend, as the exotic fire within him was not to be underestimated.

But this was merely a wisp of Soul Power, naturally unable to withstand the Three Thousand Burning Flame’s attack.

Flames burned upon his Soul, and Gu Fei’s figure was engulfed in the raging purplish-black inferno.

Within the Star Domain, Gu Fei, whose palm was touching the Dragon scale, suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of anger on his face.

He retreated quickly enough to avoid the scorching flames.

Seeing this, Grand Elder Qiu Ling immediately understood that Gu Fei had failed: “Young Master Gu Fei, this Three Thousand Burning Flame has been in the Pill Tower for countless years, and many people have tried to appease it. Failure is normal. It seems your fate with this Three Thousand Burning Flame is not yet sufficient!”

Upon hearing Qiu Ling’s words, Gu Fei frowned.

“Elder Qiu Ling, the Three Thousand Burning Flame already possesses spiritual intelligence no different from a human’s. This talk of ‘fate’ is inherently empty!”

Gu Fei wasn’t afraid of offending anyone and directly refuted Qiu Ling’s argument.

If they truly followed the Pill Tower’s ridiculous, hypocritical approach of trying to make people appease it, then no one would ever be able to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

To deal with such a spiritual entity that had developed intelligence and an intense aversion to humans, the most brutal method was still needed.

“Then, Young Master Gu Fei, what is your brilliant idea? Can you suppress it directly?”

[Qiu Ling generated displeasure emotion, emotion value +30]

Hearing Gu Fei negate the methods the Pill Tower had implemented for so many years, Qiu Ling said with a stern face.

He was clearly somewhat displeased, but Qiu Ling also knew that Gu Fei’s identity was likely extraordinary, so he didn’t go too far at the moment, his tone sounding more tactful.

Qiu Ling believed that although Gu Fei was exceptionally gifted, he was ultimately too young to possess the strength to forcibly suppress the Three Thousand Burning Flame.

“Suppress it directly...”

Hearing this, Gu Fei fell silent for a moment, not replying to Qiu Ling.

At this time, Gu Fei was contemplating. During this training, he had never applied for assistance from his clan.

If he couldn’t defeat it, why not find a helper?

“While I cannot suppress it, if a Senior from my clan were to assist, suppressing a mere Three Thousand Burning Flame would be effortless!”

Gu Fei made his decision. As his voice fell, he crushed a Spatial Jade Slip.

As this Spatial Jade Slip shattered, an extremely powerful spatial force suddenly surged out, then forcibly twisted a nearby section of space, creating a crack.

And just as the crack formed, a white figure slowly stepped out from within it.
