All the students had already evacuated the tower, and the golden-robed elder and gray-robed elder, both at the peak of the Douhuang realm, had already broken the seal inside the tower.
"I can't even tell how strong this person is?" Suddenly, two old men appeared beside Su Qian.
“Indeed, when I examined this person, I could only see that he had absolutely no fighting spirit,” one of the elders said.
"You two have arrived. I didn't expect that even you couldn't see through this person's strength. With your abilities..." Su Qian's expression turned slightly gloomy.
The two who arrived were actually two peak Dou Zong experts from the deep library of the academy.
Although the two never leave the library, someone is eyeing the Fallen Heart Flame. If the seal is broken, Canaan Academy will cease to exist.
"Although we are at the peak of the Dou Zong realm, we cannot see it, and we have suppressed the Fallen Heart Flame to the point of having no power to fight back."
“Even a half-saint dean can’t do that, this person’s strength is definitely that of a Dou Sheng,” one of the elders said with certainty.
"Damn it, I didn't expect even a Dou Sheng to come," Su Qian said in distress.
Lin Qing ignored the three people who had arrived. Seeing the still struggling Fallen Heart Flame, he opened his left hand, palm up, and a ball of golden flame ignited.
The moment the Samadhi Divine Fire appeared, the violent fire energy within the entire lava world was instantly suppressed.
The once incredibly violent Fallen Heart Flame suddenly wilted, unable to even maintain its fire python form, and instantly transformed into a transparent, colorless flame.
Although it is transparent and colorless, the Fallen Heart Flame was still dyed fiery red by the dark red light of the lava.
"What...what kind of flame is that? It just appeared and completely suppressed the Fallen Heart Flame."
Not only Su Qian, but even the two elders at the peak of the Dou Zong realm were filled with shock.
Seeing that the Fallen Heart Flame had given up resisting, Lin Qing simply waved his hand at it, and the Fallen Heart Flame flew over and landed in Lin Qing's palm.
"Third one in hand!" Lin Qing sealed it with his spiritual energy and then tossed it into his storage space.
The lava world, now free of the Fallen Heart Flame, had returned to peace, and Lin Qing's figure came into view.
"Your Excellency, although you are a Dou Sheng expert, is it a bit... to just take away the most important Fallen Heart Flame of my Canaan Academy like this?" Su Qian said without fear.
Although in his eyes Lin Qing was a Dou Sheng who could destroy Canaan Academy with a single finger, he still spoke up.
"I'm helping your Canaan Academy. If I don't take the Fallen Heart Flame, it will definitely break free within a year," Lin Qing said noncommittally.
Silence fell. Su Qian and the other two elders were silent. Although they were unwilling to admit it, they also agreed with Lin Qing's words.
Ever since the Dean sealed the Fallen Heart Flame, they have been constantly worried about this ticking time bomb.
Su Qian was both happy and worried. She was happy that the time bomb had been defused and Canaan Academy would no longer be threatened by it.
The worry is that without the Fallen Heart Flame, a cultivation cheat code, what qualifications does Canaan Academy have to teach its students?
"Don't think of this as a loss. I also found a second Fallen Heart Flame below." Lin Qing's words were astonishing, directly shocking the three of them.
Before Su Qian and the other two could reply, Lin Qing plunged into the lava.
Although the exact location of the juvenile Fallen Heart Flame is still unknown, the boast has already been made, and no matter what, it has to be found.
Anyway, no matter where we are, we're all in this lava, so how could we possibly run away?
"Is...is what he said true?" Su Qian's hands trembled slightly.
"Let's wait and see if it's true or not. We'll find out when he comes up here," one of the two old men said after exchanging a glance.
...
After spending some time, and not knowing how deep he had descended, Lin Qing arrived at the depths of the lava.
"Found it."
Although there was nothing around but lava, Lin Qing's divine sense still detected the transparent and colorless nascent Fallen Heart Flame.
Delighted, he quickly put away the nascent Fallen Heart Flame and was about to leave when...
Suddenly, Lin Qing's divine sense detected a trace of aura unique to the dragon race emanating from deeper within the magma.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, Lin Qing still noticed it, and this aura was different from the aura of dragons like Lin Qing.

"This aura should belong to the ancient dragon Zhukun, who is trapped in the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe, and is also Ziyan's father."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qing headed towards the place where the aura had been emanating.
Lin Qing dived into the depths at an extremely fast speed, and the surrounding lava did not harm him in any way.
Lin Qing still used her spiritual power to envelop herself, isolating herself from the scorching magma.
After descending for several more minutes, Lin Qing gradually slowed down and looked calmly around the lava.
He could sense that many subtle auras were rapidly approaching him.
"Looks like the lizardmen from the novel who live deep in the lava." Lin Qing smiled faintly.
Without Lin Qing making any move, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his entire body, and in an instant, the surrounding magma exploded.
The figures hidden within the lava erupted in piercing screams...
"Hiss!"
As these screams appeared, the surrounding magma suddenly rippled violently, and then Lin Qing saw countless crimson figures.
They surged in from all directions, eventually surrounding him and glaring menacingly at Lin Qing, the intruder.
Lin Qing's gaze swept over the lizard-like magma creatures, finally settling on a spot not far away, where two lizardmen with milky-white bodies stood.
They appeared to be much older than the other lizardmen, and these two lizardmen were actually at the level of half-saints!
A half-saint is someone who has one foot in the Dou Sheng realm, which is equivalent to having one foot in the Di Xian realm.
"Human, this is the graveyard of the gods, not a place for you. Leave immediately, or you will awaken the guardians and be buried here forever!"
One of the two white lizardmen was actually speaking human language. Although it was somewhat awkward, the intermittent voice still reached Lin Qing's ears.
"The Tomb of the Gods? The Guardian? Isn't this the cave of Emperor Tuoshe? Could the Guardian be Zhukun?" Lin Qing said with his arms crossed.
"You, you..." The two white lizardmen's expressions changed drastically. Although they had a vague guess, they did not know the identity of the guardian.
Now that Lin Qing has revealed the truth, regardless of the guardians' identities, they absolutely believe that the Tomb of the Gods is the ancient emperor's cave.
After all, their race had lived in this magma for who knows how long, guarding the tomb of the gods generation after generation.
"You may all step back. I don't want to take your lives." An even more powerful aura erupted from Lin Qing.
Instantly, all the lizardmen around, including the two demigod lizardmen, were blasted back hundreds of meters.
The previously ferocious fire lizardmen were now filled with horror, staring at the demon-like figure from a distance. The terrifying soul pressure emanating from him made their very souls tremble...
"You will be punished by the gods for trespassing on the tomb of the gods!"
The white-faced fire lizardman swallowed the sweet, metallic blood in his mouth and roared hoarsely.
Lin Qing smiled faintly at such threats, taking them as a joke. In this Dou Qi Continent, no one could withstand a single blow from Lin Qing.
He touched his nose and looked down at the dark lava below. In that endless lava, something terrifying seemed to lurk.
"The Ancient Void Dragon, I wonder how it compares to the bloodline of ordinary dragons."
Lin Qing murmured softly, then moved, transforming into a golden ray of light and flashing towards the bottom of the magma.
Watching his figure, the fire lizardmen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not try to stop him.
Judging from the previous situation, they also understood that if Lin Qing hadn't held back, they would probably have been wiped out long ago.
"Foolish humans, you're courting death!"
The two white-skinned fire lizardmen exchanged a glance, then snorted coldly, their figures flashing as they merged into the magma and swiftly sped away into the distance.
Without the fire creatures blocking his way, Lin Qing's speed increased again, but even at his fastest speed, he still hadn't reached the end of the lava.
"Is this magma still running through the entire Dou Qi Continent?" Lin Qing thought to himself, a little annoyed.
"If only I could teleport," Lin Qing sighed.
At the bottom of this magma, Lin Qing could only use his own speed; he couldn't even teleport.
The Void Tear was becoming less and less effective for Lin Qing. At least he could teleport outside, but once he entered the magma world, it didn't have much of a effect.
Lin Qing felt that one day, the Tears of the Void would not only lose its ability to travel through time and return to the past, but it might even lose its teleportation ability.
Suddenly, Lin Qing stopped, slapped his forehead, and said, "Am I stupid? How come I didn't notice it before?"
Just as Lin Qing was trying to activate the Tear of the Void, he detected a hidden spatial fluctuation.
If it weren't for the Void Tear's exceptional sensitivity to space, Lin Qing would probably have been flying for another hour or so before he noticed it.
It turns out that this magma world wasn't actually that big; it was just that a powerful being had folded two spaces of magma together.
No matter how fast you move forward inside, you're basically just going back and forth between two places.
This powerful being can only be Emperor Tuoshe. It seems that Emperor Tuoshe has profound attainments in space, formations, and restrictions.
Lin Qing activated the Tear of the Void, covering his eyes with it, and then used his divine sense to scan the area. Sure enough, this was the end of the magma.
However, all that could be seen in front of him was endless lava.
Slowly extending his palm, he gently touched the lava in front of him.
"Buzz!"
As Lin Qing touched the lava with his palm, the lava actually rippled.
Lin Qing's hand simply vanished, as if it had touched a spatial layer.
Although the Strange Fire Plaza in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion contains all the Strange Fires on the Strange Fire Ranking, they have all lost their energy.
Lin Qing specifically asked the system, and the system replied that those things were no longer of any use.
What's the use of the legacy of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe? He's not even as powerful as Lin Qing. Just leave it to Xiao Yan and that's it.
Because Lin Qing had no interest in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave, he skipped this part when rereading the novel, so he was unaware of the situation there.
Lin Qing didn't examine it that closely, because it was deep inside. It wasn't until several minutes later that he realized something was wrong.
Without further delay, he took a step forward and stepped directly into that space.
"Um...."
