Chapter 36: The Heavenly Burning Qi Training Tower.
Xiao Ling stopped at the top of a small hill and looked ahead. Within his sight lay a sunken area. Within it, a massive black tower lay buried deep underground, with only a fragment of its spire and a pitch-black entrance visible above the surface. This was the heart of the inner courtyard, the Heavenly Burning Qi Training Tower.
A dense crowd had already gathered at the entrance to the tower, a scene that reminded Xiao Ling of its popularity within the inner courtyard.
Without further hesitation, Xiao Ling pushed his way through the crowd, relying on his immense physical strength to quickly reach the front. Finding a deserted spot, he settled in.
Seeing the tower up close, Xiao Ling noticed a subtle sense of distortion and wrinkles in the space surrounding it.
"This space lock should have been left by Mang Tianchi a long time ago. It has been such a long time since he came back to repair it. Han Feng just brought a few Dou Huangs to break the space lock." Thinking of the plot of the original novel, Xiao Ling complained in his heart.
Time passed bit by bit in waiting.
"Boom!
Suddenly, the sound of an ancient bell hummed in this area, and with the sound of the bell, the noisy sounds on the field suddenly stopped.
"Open the tower!"
The bell hummed, and an old voice seemed to come from inside the tower.
Not long after the old voice fell, the tightly closed black door slowly opened with a "creaky" sound, and a faint hot breath seeped out, making the temperature of this world slightly rise.
"Enter the tower! "
The old voice sounded again, and there was only the sound of breaking wind, and figures rushed towards the tower gate in an overwhelming manner.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling also set off and walked towards the tower. Remembering that he would feel uncomfortable when he first entered, he took out a third-grade Qingxin Pill and stuffed it into his mouth, intending to take drugs directly if he felt uncomfortable.
The moment Xiao Ling's feet landed on the ground after entering the tower gate, his body suddenly solidified, his white face was like charcoal, and a faint white mist, with a sizzling sound like barbecue, seeped out from his body.
Feeling the abnormality in his body, Xiao Ling did not hesitate too much and took the Qingxin Pill in his mouth directly. At that moment, he felt that the discomfort in his body disappeared immediately, and he felt refreshed.
Although no abnormal reaction appeared for the time being, Xiao Ling still sensed the strange flame that suddenly appeared inexplicably from his body. This flame was invisible and colorless. It should be the branch of the Fallen Heart Flame. He had to find a room to practice for a while and let his body adapt to this situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, after the effect of the Qingxin Pill faded, his body would be hurt. At the very least, he would have to rest for a few days, and at the worst, his tendons and veins would be damaged, making it impossible to practice Dou Qi.
He muttered to himself, "I don't know what the school is thinking. They didn't explain this dangerous situation to the freshmen. If I hadn't read the original book and made preparations, I might have been seriously injured without the protection of Xiao Yan's strange fire. "
There were some people around who knew Xiao Ling and knew that it was this person who had snatched all of Lao Sheng's fire energy in the fire energy hunting competition. They noticed Xiao Ling's reaction just now at the entrance of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower and originally stopped to gloat over his misfortune. No matter how talented he was, he still had to suffer in front of the Tianfen Qi Training Tower.
It seemed these people had known Xiao Ling would encounter this upon entering, but had deliberately kept it a secret, hoping to see him embarrass himself.
But what they didn't expect was that Xiao Ling instantly freed himself from the scorching heat of the Heart Fire. Remember, they all endured immense hardship before even entering to cultivate here.
Glancing at those eager to see him embarrass himself, Xiao Ling headed straight into the Skyburn Qi Training Tower.
"Hiss, how did this guy recover so quickly?"
"He actually freed himself from the scorching heat of the Heart Fire all on his own? How did he do it?"
"Is this the difference between geniuses and the rest of us?"
...
His first visit to this Skyburn Qi Training Tower, buried deep underground, with only a fragment of its spire visible, was somewhat surprising in its spaciousness. As he walked, he realized that the first floor alone was likely large enough for five hundred people to cultivate simultaneously.
Within the circular space of the tower, there were training rooms of varying sizes. However, most of these rooms were already occupied. Above the doors of these rooms were small red signs, each with its own unique inscription. Xiao Ling paused to examine them. The signs were labeled "high-level," "intermediate," and "low-level." These, he thought, represented the different levels of training rooms within the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.
Walking slowly from east to south, Xiao Ling discovered that all the high-level training rooms seemed to be located near the center of the tower, while the intermediate and even lower-level training rooms were scattered around them.
Looking at the training rooms, Xiao Ling muttered to himself, "The fire energy cost on this first floor is the same, yet the academy has divided the training rooms into different levels. I'm afraid there must be a lot of fighting here every day for the best training rooms. Canaan Academy truly demonstrates the law of the jungle."
As he walked, Xiao Ling suddenly paused. He followed his gaze and found himself in the center of the tower...
Staring in astonishment at the bottomless black hole that appeared before him, Xiao Ling slowly took two steps forward, reaching the edge. Cautiously, he glanced down. Pitch blackness stretched to the end of his sight. The eerie darkness, with almost no light at all, made Xiao Ling feel a little dizzy.
This black hole seemed to penetrate the entire Tianfen Refining Qi Tower. If it weren't for the tower's spire, this deep, dark hole might have been visible even from the sky.
Within this pitch-black cavern, if one carefully sensed the air, one could sense that it was much hotter than elsewhere. It felt as if something at the bottom of the cavern was constantly emitting heat, providing the entire Sky Fen Refining Qi Tower with it.

"This must be the passage to the underground magma world. Inside are two Fallen Heart Flames, a Dou Zun soul, countless Flame Lizardmen, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Taixu Ancient Dragon, and the Ancient Emperor Cavern that so many yearn for." Thinking of the opportunities within, Xiao Ling's heart burned.
He shook his head, no longer dwelling on these trivial matters. He was currently only a small Dou Shi, and he didn't even have the strength to encounter the opportunities within. For now, he needed to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.
