Chapter 249: Breaking the Seal of the Falle Fme

  Han Yue!

  Looking at the woman with silver hair and her mid-level Dou Spirit strength, Gu He was certain that this woman was Han Yue.

  Speaking of which, in the inner court of aan Academy, Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and Han Yue all had quite good talents.

  If appropriate, Gu He wouldn't mind taking on a few more disciples.

  "Hehe, it turns out to be Miss Yue. Which level do you pn to enter for cultivation this time?"

  While Gu He , Elder Liu beside him had already started versing with the woman in the silver dress with a smile on his face.

  "The fifth level!" The woman in the silver dress hesitated slightly before replying.

  Hearing the woman's answer, Elder Liu was surprised and couldn't help exg, "Good, good! At this rate, it won't be many years before you pete for an elder position in this inner court. Your cultivation talent and speed are truly astonishing!"

  "It's all thanks to the blessings of the Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower. Without it, I definitely couldn't achieve this level on my own!" the woman in the silver dress humbly said, then g Gu He o Elder Liu with a fsh of curiosity in her eyes.

  "By the way, I almost fot to introduce him to you. This is Elder Gu He, a new elder at the academy!" Seeing the woman's gaze tu He, Elder Liu quickly introduced him.

  Is this Elder Gu He, the new six-rank alchemist in the academy?

  Hearing Elder Liu's introdu, Han Yue was very surprised. Just a moment ago, she thought that Gu He standio Elder Liu was a senior brother with high seniority in the academy.

  "Han Yue pays her respects to Elder Gu!" Upon learning of Gu He's identity, Han Yue bowed very formally to him.

  Han Yue came from a promi family in the Northern Region of tral Province, with many Dou Emperor experts and even a Dou Aor in her family. Normally, she didn't pay much attention to ordinary elders in the academy, but for a six-rank alchemist like Gu He, even her father would treat him with respect. So at this moment, she articurly respectful.

  "No need for sualities!" Fag Han Yue's salute, Gu He replied with a warm smile.

  After Gu He spoke, Han Yue suddenly said, "Elder Gu, I have a question for you!"

  "Ask away!" Gu He casually waved his hand.

  "Why haven't we seen the 'Barbarian King' e to the tower for cultivation for a long time?" Han Yue asked with fusion in her eyes.

  She had heard about Gu He taking Zi Yan as his disciple, but sihe Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower had retly reopened after being closed for nearly half a month, Zi Yan had never e, which made her quite curious.

  "Hehe, the 'Barbarian King'? Are you talking about Zi Yan?" Gu He ughed lightly when he heard Han Yue's question.

  "Yes, I'm used to callihat!" Han Yue said somewhat embarrassedly: "I wonder what she has been doing during this time."

  "Ah, Zi Yan hasn't been as diligent and hardw in her cultivation as you all. She just knows to stay in my courtyard, cm for me to feed her spirit medies and pills. She eats up dozens of spirit herbs a day!" Gu He sighed, showing a frustrated expression.

  What!

  Hearing Gu He's words, Han Yue was tremendously shocked and blurted out: "Who afford to e dozens of spirit herbs a day?"

  "I still afford these spirit medies. Besides, even if I 't afford it, I must support her, as she is my disciple!" Gu He said with a bit of helplessness on his face.

  At this moment, even Elder Liu beside them wore the same surprised expression as Han Yue.

  However, after their initial surprise, both of them felt immensely envious of Zi Yan.

  Thinking of Zi Yan's treatment under Gu He, Han Yue couldn't help but have a somewhat strahought herself.

  The moment, Han Yue's face showed a bit of expectation, and she hesitantly asked, "Elder Gu... are you still accepting disciples?"

  Hearing Han Yue's words, both Gu He and Elder Liu were quite surprised.

  After a moment's thought, Gu He deliberately asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

  "Han Yue wishes to take Elder Gu as her master!"

  When she said this, Han Yue's face was very nervous, almost shouting it out, pletely unlike her usual cold demeanor.

  "Elder Gu, Miss Yue has excellent talent for cultivation and is extremely diligent. She is a promising didate!" Seeing Gu He's silence, Elder Liu also persuaded him from the side.

  Gu He had already sidered taking Han Yue as his disciple, but if he accepted her so readily, the

  threshold of his courtyard might be trampled by others soon.

  Moreu He did not solely sider talent in accepting disciples; if other aspects did not meet his expectations, he would not take them even if they had the necessary talent.

  "Here's what, since you want to bey disciple, show your siy. If you break through oar within a month, I will agree to take you as my disciple!" After thinking it u He set his dition for accepting a disciple.

  "Miss Yue has just retly achieved her Dou Spirit rank, and breaking through again within a month might be a bit too difficult!" Elder Liu secretly thought.

  "Agreed! If I don't break through oar within a month, I will not bother Elder Gu anymore!"

  Hearing Gu He's words, a determined look fshed in Han Yue's eyes. After bowing again to Gu He, she headed straight for the lower levels of the tower.

  Watg Han Yue's departing back, Elder Liu sighed to Gu He, "With Miss Yue's stubborn nature, she might turn into a cultivation mae this month."

  ...

  After this episode with Han Yue, Gu He walked out of the Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower and soouro his courtyard.

  Now that Gu He was very clear about the situation ihe Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower, he just o wait for his avatar to arrive, and then he could let his avatar directly seize trol.

  The day, when Gu He sehat his avatar roag the outer area of aan Academy, a smile appeared on his face.

  Immediately after, Gu He instructed Zi Yan a few words before entering his room.

  Quickly setting up a seal in the room, Gu He's figure disappeared with a twist in space.

  The moment, Gu He suddenly appeared in the deep hole at the bottom of the Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower, amidst the magma.

  Upon appearing in this magma-filled area, Gu He quickly shot several hand seals towards the hidden bergy shield above the peak of the deep hole, then summoned a purple fme and struck the magma several times. After pleting these as, Gu He's figure eerily vanished again.

  As Gu He's figure disappeared, the magma where he had been suddenly shot out two sharp beams of light like gleaming eyes.

  There, aremely violent and vast energy was slowly emerging from the bottom of the magma, and with the surge of this wild energy, the tranquility of the magma world was also shattered. A wild wind, arising from nowhere, howled over the magma, stirring it into a fiery wave teers high before crashing down with a thunderous roar, remi of mountains colpsing and the earth splitting!

  At the same time, Han Yue, who was deeply focused on her cultivation ihe Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower, suddenly heard a dull sound, followed by a slight tremor throughout the cultivation room. The previously calm energy around her suddenly began to boil and violently.

  "What's happening! Why is the energy here suddenly being so violent?"

  As Han Yue was taken aback, the figures of numerous tuarding elders quickly rushed to the bottommost floor of the Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower.

  "All students iower, leave the Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower within ten minutes!"

  Soon, a particurly deep voice resonated above the inner courtyard, reag the ears of every student practig withiower.

  Hearing this voice, Han Yue did not hesitate and immediately left the cultivation room, quickly heading towards the tower's apex exit.

  ...

  "What exactly happeo cause su upheaval..."

  Soo Qian, who had arrived at the deep hole beh the tower at an unknown time, looked towards the magma-filled space with a shocked and uain gaze.

  Above him, outside the rge circur energy shield, a group of tuarding elders and some who had arrived ter also appeared utterly baffled.

  While everyone uzzled, the endless world of magma suddenly began to violently, and aremely fierergy filled the area.

  As the magma rolled, it seemed as if something was about to break through the surface. After a moment, the ing magma suddenly quieted down, but Soo Qian's gaze did not rex; he clearly felt that the violent energy was getting closer to the surface of the magma.

  "Whoosh!"

  The calm surface of the magma suddenly lifted in a wave, and amidst the flying magma, a massive, nearly transparent serpent head, at least teers long and covered with invisible fmes, burst through the magma, bringing with it a formidable energy that shook the space around it.

  "Sss!"

  Breaking through the magma, the gigantic transparent fire serpent, as if it had been imprisoned for a thousand years, raised its massive head. The pierg sound waves that it emitted were enough to cause an ordinary Dou Spirit to burst on the spot, spreading rapidly.

  With the spread of the sound waves, the world of magma seemed as if numerous bombs had been dropped into it. The deep rumbling sounds tinued, and magma and fmes violently spewed everywhere.

  After a nearly frenzied release, the massive transparent fire serpent, as if sensing the gaze from above, suddenly raised its huge head with invisible fme-filled triangur pupils and locked its gaze firmly on Soo Qian at the entrance of the deep hole!

  With his body locked by the transparent fire energy from below, Soo Qian suddenly felt a chill, as if his entire body had been sed i by the oppo.

  The serpent's gaze locked on Soo Qian, and almost instantly, aremely terrifying wave of energy surged from its massive body. The level of ferocity and magnitude of this energy made even Soo Qian feel a chill.

  "Sss!"

  Another violent, sharp sound wave burst forth, and the massive body of the invisible fire serpent suddenly spped the magma. At os nearly twenty to thirty meters long colossal body, like invisible lightning, charged up the deep hole with scorg temperatures and fierergy!

  "This beast is going to break the seal!" Soo Qian's face ged, he tapped the edge of the ptform with his foot, and his figure fshed out of the energy shield. His hands moved rapidly, and suddenly, the energy at the mouth of the deep hole surged violently, eventually f a huge energy shield that tightly sealed the entrance.

  At the moment his hand seals moved, a thunderous shout erupted from Soo Qian's mouth. The vibrant energy shield, like a colorful lid, tightly closed off the entrao the deep hole.

  As the energy shield formed, the space around it immediately rippled with waves, showing that despite appearing to be hastily formed, the energy shield possessed immense power.

  This extremely powerful energy shield re-set seal by the inner courtyard, whiy elder could activate in critical moments to guard against the sudden outburst of the Heartfme.

  However, despite the strength of the energy shield, when aremely hot temperature approached in the blink of as surface immediately rippled like a ke surface struck by a huge stone.

  "Boom!"

  A massive blood-red n of magma burst from the endless depths below, carrying a force capable of moving mountains and seas, and violently struck the colorful energy shield.

  Instantly, a dull sound echoed throughout the bottom of the tower. The moment the sound started, tiny cracks began to climb over the energy shield, ging Soo Qian's expression slightly.

  Finally, with a crisp sound, it burst open!

  As the energy shield shattered, a massive, several tens of meters wide n of blood-red magma, like a volic eruption, burst out of the st seal and violently struck the spire of the Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower.

  "Boom!"

  A deep sound like thunder suddenly boomed in everyone's ears. In this collision, akin to meteors colliding, the entire Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower trembled violently.

  The blood-red magma n struck the spire of the Sky Bzing Qi Refining Tower heavily, but did not cause the tter to crack due to its fierentum. At the moment of impact, the pitch-bck spire immediately revealed a slightly dark, thin energy shield. Although this shield appeared frail, merely less than a fihick, it was this thin yer of dark energy that blocked the formidable magma n!
