Chapter 17

The reason why the Chaotic Holy Flame would split into various kinds of异火 (strange fires) on the Continent of Martial Arts is unknown. However, without the support of the Imperial Origin Qi, the power of the Chaotic Holy Flame gradually weakened. But upon arriving at the Continent of Martial Emperors, these strange fires began to show signs of restlessness, though they were all suppressed by the top-ranked Imperial Flame. After all, Xiao Yan had inherited the strongest Imperial Flame, naturally giving him the ability to control it.

After absorbing the Imperial Origin Qi on the Continent of Martial Emperors, the Chaotic Holy Flame will continuously strengthen its own abilities. When it grows to a certain stage, it will grant the possessor a very powerful Heavenly Flame ability. The Chaotic Holy Flame is extremely famous on the Continent of Martial Emperors. In ancient times, the Chaotic Holy Flame ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly Flame ranking of the Continent of Martial Emperors, making it a terrifying existence.

The Xiao Clan has a total of three Heavenly Flames, which is already a very good achievement among the imperial families. These Heavenly Flames are coveted by surrounding forces, but the Xiao Clan, being an ancient clan, has some protective formations passed down by their ancestors, which are not easily breached by those who covet the Xiao Clan. This is why they dare not act rashly, and the Chaotic Holy Flame is the most powerful Heavenly Flame in the Xiao Clan.

......

Information about the Chaotic Holy Flame continuously flooded into Xiao Yan's mind. After reading all of this, Xiao Yan felt a myriad of emotions. It seemed that the Xiao Clan's greatest enemy in the past was the strange fire within his body. Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, never expecting that all the strange fires he had collected with great difficulty on the Continent of Martial Arts were actually a Heavenly Flame on the Continent of Martial Emperors. If all the strange fires within his body were to merge into this so-called Chaotic Holy Flame, how terrifying would it be?

Xiao Li smiled and then said, "Alright, now you know about it. As for the Chaotic Holy Flame within your body, you will have to explore it yourself. I can only guide you to a certain extent. Now, let me take you to a place to see something you should be familiar with."

Xiao Yan was taken aback and then nodded. This place was new to him, and he didn't recognize anything. Regardless, he followed.

The two walked out of the hall and flew at a slow pace. Xiao Li played with two small balls in his hand, which emitted an unusual aura.

Xiao Li turned his head and said, "Young Xiao Yan, look in the distance. Have you seen that thing before?"

Xiao Yan followed Xiao Li's gaze and was immediately startled. Not far away, a golden tower floated in the sky. Xiao Yan widened his eyes in surprise and said, "Isn't this the Skyfire Refining Tower? How did it end up here?"

Xiao Li chuckled and said calmly, "This tower seems to have been brought up by you."

As they spoke, Xiao Yan's figure had already arrived in front of the refining tower. Could this tower have a spirit? Xiao Yan's heart trembled. Recalling it, could it be the result of the Heart Fire that fell and transformed? But if it were the young Heart Fire from back then, he should have sensed the Heart Fire's aura. At this moment, Xiao Yan was confused and couldn't figure out what this sudden golden tower was.

Xiao Yan carefully observed the tower. From its appearance, it was indeed the Skyfire Refining Tower from the Jia Nan Academy, identical in every way. Xiao Yan stepped forward and gently placed his hand on the tower. As his hand lightly touched the tower, it suddenly emitted a bright light and rapidly shrank, transforming from a massive structure to the size of a palm, floating slowly in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Li, standing behind Xiao Yan, was slightly surprised but continued to play with the two small balls in his hands.

Xiao Yan looked at the floating small tower and slowly held it in his hand, feeling an intense excitement. The moment he held it, a powerful aura made Xiao Yan's heart tremble—this tower was definitely not an ordinary object! Moreover, it could shrink and be carried around, which filled Xiao Yan with joy. Despite his excitement and joy, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Was this tower the Skyfire Refining Tower from the Jia Nan Academy? If so, how did it end up on the Continent of Martial Emperors? If not, what was it? Why did it look exactly like the Skyfire Refining Tower from the Jia Nan Academy and could shrink to the size of a palm?

"What is this tower?" Xiao Yan immediately asked Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was speechless. The tower and Xiao Yan arrived on the Continent of Martial Emperors at the same time and directly came to the Xiao Clan. When it appeared, the clan members were somewhat surprised. Since it came from the Continent of Martial Arts and carried a trace of Xiao Yan's aura, the clan members were surprised when it appeared, thinking Xiao Yan was coming and the tower suddenly appeared at the same time. Therefore, Xiao Li also thought this thing came with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head. The tower looked like the Skyfire Refining Tower, but the aura it emitted was not the same as the Skyfire Refining Tower, leaving Xiao Yan puzzled.

Xiao Li smiled and said, "Forget your doubts. It seems this tower has a connection with you. Take it back and study it slowly. You might still be adjusting to this new world, so go back and rest for now."

Xiao Yan nodded, put the tower away, and then suddenly remembered something.
