Chapter 165 The Deal with the Ancient Clan

When Huo Yuhao released his control over the Fallen Heart Flame seedling, it immediately flew up and desperately tried to get away from Huo Yuhao, which had been trembling incessantly in his palm.

Then, the newly formed Fallen Heart Flame seemed to sense the familiar aura on Su Qian's body and emitted a faint, joyful fluctuation.

"call out!"

The Fallen Heart Flame seedling couldn't wait to fly to his side, circled Su Qian a few times, and finally hovered steadily in front of him.

Su Qian was caught off guard by this sudden closeness and cautiously extended her finger. The little flame immediately came closer and rubbed against her, being extremely docile.

Su Qian's face was full of astonishment. He looked up at Huo Yuhao and said, "It—it's quite enthusiastic?"

"That's not bad!" Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a knowing smile. He didn't explain further, turning his gaze to the sealed and isolated lava lake below.

After a moment of thought, Huo Yuhao turned his palms down, and silver spatial power surged out like water, adding another layer of spatial seal on top of the original seal.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao tapped his fingertips, and thousands of shimmering spirit seals flew out like stars, accurately imprinting themselves on the spatial barrier and quickly forming a huge and intricate spirit array!

This spirit array is an illusion array that Huo Yuhao developed using the principles of the "simulation" skill. According to the Guardian Mirror, this array can be rated as a level five spirit array.

Just as Huo Yuhao was gathering the last spiritual seal at his fingertips, preparing to test the operation of the formation, boom! boom!

Two long-dormant auras suddenly surged from the outer courtyard of Canaan Academy, instantly engulfing the entire academy! The strength of these auras far surpassed that of the Dou Zong level.

Su Qian was suddenly jolted awake from the intimacy of the Fallen Heart Flame's young flame, and together with Huo Ran, they looked up in the direction from which the aura was coming from.

His aged face was first filled with disbelief and astonishment, then overwhelmed with immense joy! His voice was slightly hoarse with excitement: "This aura—it's the Hundred Elders and the Thousand Elders! They've broken through to the Dou Zun realm!"

On this day, one piece of good news after another bombarded him. Even though Su Qian was as calm and composed as a mountain, he was so excited that his face turned red and he was a little overwhelmed!

Within the spiritual world, the sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror spun rapidly, reflecting Su Qian's agitated and somewhat "ferocious" old face outside: "Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of hysteria is this coffin-faced old man having? His face is as contorted as a monkey's butt!"

The Ice Flame Phoenix that was standing next to it nodded its little head seriously upon hearing this, with an expression that said, "You're right."

"Um—you two—" Venerable Tianhuo, who had just been frolicking in the spiritual world, cautiously floated over, trying to join the "group chat".

The sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror suddenly turned towards him, shooting out a beam that sent him flying, its voice filled with utter disdain:

Go play somewhere else! I don't want to tease idiots right now.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianhuo shrank into a corner, looking utterly dejected, completely lacking the demeanor of a powerful Dou Zun.

At this moment, in an open area on the back mountain, the atmosphere was as lively as a festival. Almost all the elders of the inner and outer academies who had not gone into seclusion had gathered here.

Their faces beamed with genuine joy as they addressed the centenarians and elders in the center of the arena, offering their congratulations in unison: "Congratulations to the centenarians and elders!"

"Congratulations to both elders on breaking through to the Dou Zun level!"

"Haha? From now on, we'll have to address the two elders as venerable ones!"

Huo Yuhao, who had just emerged from the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and was heading towards the back mountain, suddenly stopped. He turned to Su Qian, who was still immersed in immense joy, and said, "Elder, please go to Elder Bai and Elder Qian's place first. I have some matters to attend to here!"

Su Qian nodded in agreement, and then couldn't wait to cross space and head towards the back mountain of the outer courtyard.

After Su Qian's figure disappeared, Huo Yuhao turned around, his gaze calmly fixed on a seemingly empty corner of space, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Senior Ling Ying, it's been a long time."

As soon as the words were spoken, the space distorted slightly, and a figure shrouded in shadow quietly appeared.

However, Ling Ying's first action upon appearing was not to respond to Huo Yuhao's greeting. Instead, she appeared with a face full of shock and bewilderment!

He suddenly raised his head and looked around in disbelief, as if he were seeing this world for the first time!

"What...what's going on?" Ling Ying's voice trembled as he pointed to the dense, mist-like spiritual energy around them: "I remember...the spirit-gathering array you set up back then definitely didn't have this kind of inconceivable concentration!"

He took a deep breath, and the extremely pure energy surged into his body, making even this member of the ancient clan feel a pleasant dizziness.

"This energy concentration—it's ten times denser than the core area of ​​the Ancient Realm! Kid Huo, what exactly did you do?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Ling Ying's astonished expression and smiled calmly: "I've been having good luck lately, so I upgraded the Spirit Gathering Array. The effect is quite good."

He paused, then asked the crucial question: "So, what about Senior Gu Yuan—?"

Ling Ying barely managed to suppress the raging storm in her heart, and nodded forcefully, her tone incredibly complex.

"The clan leader has agreed! The formal cooperation agreement and details will be delivered by a special envoy later."

He took another deep breath of the dense, almost tangible spiritual energy, and shook his head with a wry smile: "To be honest, kid Huo, if you had set up this upgraded version of the Spirit Gathering Array back then—we probably wouldn't have needed such a long clan meeting to discuss it! The effect—it's terrifying!"

Looking at Ling Ying, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and thinking about Xiao Yan and Yun Yun's upcoming wedding, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao planned to find a reason to send Ling Ying back again.

"Senior Lingying, I happen to have a gift for you." Huo Yuhao took out two short, black daggers from his storage ring.

"The name of these two spiritual artifacts is Black Emperor Thorn, a sixth-grade spiritual artifact."

Ling Ying's gaze was immediately drawn to the short spike, and he reached out to take it. However, to his surprise, just as his hand was about to touch the spike, it flew up on its own, dodging Ling Ying's hand.

"What is this again?" Ling Ying felt as if she had not returned to the ancient clan for a few months, but had crossed decades.

"Why did it run away on its own?" Ling Ying could naturally tell that this was not a prank by Huo Yuhao.

Rather, it was this short thorn that subtly influenced the energy of heaven and earth, prompting it to dodge.

Huo Yuhao's lips curled up: "A spiritual artifact naturally needs a spirit. It's not familiar with Senior Ling Ying yet, so it won't accept you easily."

Huo Yuhao continued to instruct Ling Ying: "Senior, you need to communicate with it using your soul power first, and then you can make it recognize you as its master."

"A spirit artifact? Recognizing a master?" Ling Ying didn't quite understand, but she still did as Huo Yuhao said.

He manipulated his soul power, slowly touching the two short spikes. During this contact, he clearly sensed two wills hidden within the spikes, observing him.
