Chapter 72: Fire Lizard Race, Sky Fire Venerable!
As Gu Fei descended deeper, the Fallen Heart Flame that he had just subdued began to tremble, burning more fiercely. It seemed to be urgently drawn towards the depths of the magma, as if it wanted to meet someone.
"It seems the Fallen Heart Flame is sensing the presence of Venerable Yao Tian Huo below!" Gu Fei raised an eyebrow.
This was convenient, as the magma hindered one's perception of the surrounding
environment, making it easier to navigate using the Fallen Heart Flame's connection to its former master.
Following the Fallen Heart Flame's guidance, Gu Fei adjusted his direction continuously, descending deeper into the magma sea. In the distance, a strange white ring of light appeared.
"Whoosh..."
Suddenly, a scorching gust of wind rushed at him.
At this critical moment, Gu Fei displayed an astonishing level of reflexes. With a flash of green light beneath his feet, his body twisted into an odd arc, easily dodging the attack. As he quickly retreated, Gu Fei turned his gaze towards the source of the gust.
Under his watchful eye, about thirty meters away, a red figure moved within the magma. Its entire body was bright red, blending in with the surrounding magma, making it hard to notice without careful observation.
The creature's body was covered in red scales. A red-scaled tail, about half a meter long, swayed slightly as the creature stood on two feet. However, its feet were unusually large, and its round head was covered in fine scales. Its small eyes glinted with a hint of ferocity.
The creature's mouth opened slightly, revealing rows of sharp teeth, resembling a lizard that could walk upright.
"This must be the Fire Lizard Race described in the original story!" As a transmigrator, Gu Fei wasn't too surprised by the strange creature.

As Gu Fei stared at the magma creature, it returned his gaze with equal ferocity. After a brief standoff, the creature's eyes suddenly gleamed with malevolence, emitting a piercing screech. Its tail flicked, and its sharp claws sliced through the magma, charging straight at Gu Fei.
"Come out!" Gu Fei called to the skeleton.
As his voice fell, a brilliant white light suddenly burst from the bones, wriggling before transforming into a vague, elderly figure.
The figure wore white robes, his hair and beard were snow-white, and his aged face was marked by a faint glimmer of wisdom in his otherwise calm eyes.

"To think that at such a young age, you've already reached the peak of the Dou Ancestor level, and your spiritual power is so strong..." The old man's gaze swept over Gu Fei, showing a hint
of admiration.
A genius like Gu Fei was rare, even in the old man's era.
"You're not the first to praise me," Gu Fei responded calmly, having heard such compliments many times before.
Seeing this, the white-robed elder smiled, a pride that came from deep within his bones showing through his expression. "I am Yao Tian Huo, but some also call me the Sky Fire
Venerable..."
A Venerable... that title signified he had reached the Dou Venerate level in his lifetime. Hearing this, Gu Fei remained unfazed, and directly asked, "Judging by the Fallen Heart Flame's earlier reaction, you must be its previous master."
"You guessed correctly. I was indeed the previous master of the Fallen Heart Flame," the Heavenly Fire Venerable chuckled.
His gaze grew nostalgic as he looked at the small Fallen Heart Flame. "Years ago, I discovered the Fallen Heart Flame here in this magma sea. It took me several years to subdue it, and the
flame I captured back then is the same one now within you..."
As the Sky Fire Venerable began recounting his past, Gu Fei quietly listened without
interruption.
