Battle Through the Heavens: Soul Travels Through Clouds and Mountains, Becoming a Winning Artist

Chapter 92 The Ownership of the Fallen Heart Flame

Elder Su Qian agreed with Yun Congxin's idea, but he also expressed his concerns.

The reason why Canaan Academy is famous throughout the Dou Qi Continent, has produced countless strong individuals, and has become the first choice for many chosen ones is precisely because of the Fallen Heart Flame sealed under the Burning Heaven Refining Tower.

If we're going to move, people can leave, books can be moved, and the academy can be rebuilt, but the Fallen Heart Flame can't be taken away...

After listening to Elder Su Qian's concerns, Yun Congxin smiled and said, "Elder Su Qian is absolutely right. The Fallen Heart Flame is extremely important to the Inner Court. But I think that the Fallen Heart Flame has already become sentient and is almost developing intelligence from its instincts. I'm afraid that sealing it alone won't be enough to suppress it in the future."

"Yes, the Fallen Heart Flame is the foundation of the Inner Court, but also a hidden source of chaos," Su Qian said with a wry smile. "I've been clinging to a sliver of hope, thinking that the fire spirit of the Fallen Heart Flame is still weak, and I can use it for as long as I can. Now, under the pretext of avoiding a crisis, it's time to make a firm decision..."

After pondering for a moment, Yun Congxin offered a suggestion to Elder Su Qian: "I do have an idea, but I don't know if Elder Su Qian can accept it."

"Oh? Mr. Yun, please go ahead."

"What does Elder Su Qian think of that kid Xiao Yan?" Yun Congxin introduced his high-quality stocks to Su Qian.

"He has a tenacious character and exceptional talent; he's a promising prospect." Su Qian naturally gave him high praise.

"Moreover, he has a good temperament, is grateful, and values ​​relationships." Yun Congxin continued, "Why not use this as an excuse to give him the Fallen Heart Flame?"

"Elder, please be patient and let me finish."

"Firstly, since the Fallen Heart Flame cannot be moved, gifting it to Xiao Yan would not only gain the favor of the Medicine Venerable, but also allow us to negotiate terms with him, such as having this kid regularly supply the new Burning Heaven Refining Tower with Heart Flame. Secondly, the Fallen Heart Flame is the source of chaos in the Inner Academy, but Xiao Yan could be the beginning of its blessings. Although the effect of the Heart Flame would be greatly reduced after gifting it to him, it would create a true powerhouse capable of reaching the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent, which would be of great benefit to Canaan Academy."

"Thirdly, I vaguely sensed the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame in the magma river beneath the Burning Heaven Refining Tower, presumably there is a nascent flame being nurtured within it. Xiao Yan's cultivation technique has some unique aspects, so he should be able to find that nascent flame by relying on the sensing of the Fallen Heart Flame."

"At that time, Canaan Academy can nurture this young flame to grow up on its own, instead of forcibly sealing the mature Fallen Heart Flame to extract fire as it does now, and no longer needing to worry about it."

While listening to the first two points, Elder Su Qian remained frowning, but when he heard Yun Congxin say that there was still a young flame of the Fallen Heart Flame in the River of Magma, he became visibly excited.

"Is Mr. Yun's statement true?" He beamed, his old face blossoming into a wide smile. "Then I'll immediately go and invite all the elders to join me in exploring the river of lava again..."

"No," Yun Congxin shook his head and said, "A three-star Dou Zun level expert just caused a huge uproar inside. Going down now would be tantamount to courting death."

Su Qian's smile froze for a moment. After a brief moment of contemplation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I trust Mr. Yun. Let's do as Mr. Yun says!"

Yun Congxin smiled and nodded, then turned to the next question: "Where has Elder Su Qian chosen the location for the new academy?"

After pondering for a while, Su Qian said, "The Central Plains is too dangerous, and the Black Corner Region has become a place of trouble. The new location for Canaan Academy should be a secluded place in the Northwest Continent."

"Hehe, I do have a good place I'd like to recommend to Elder Su Qian," Yun Congxin said with a wink and a smile.

Where else could it be? Yun Congxin went to such lengths not only to secure the Fallen Heart Flame for Xiao Yan, but also to move Canaan Academy to the Jia Ma Empire!

"Sect Master Yun, you wouldn't be planning to recommend Yunlan Mountain to me, would you?" Su Qian joked.

Some things are said in jest, and Su Qian was genuinely worried that Yun Congxin was plotting to merge Canaan Academy into Yunlan Sect. To avoid embarrassing both sides, he decided to use this joke as a way to test the waters.

"Of course not. I am not so depraved as to attempt to swallow up Canaan Academy." Yun Congxin naturally knew what Su Qian was worried about. He said, "Canaan Academy should be open to all geniuses in the world and should never become the private property of one family. Talented people all over the world, regardless of their noble or humble origins, rich or poor, should have a place to study at an academy as long as they have talent."

"But I've spent most of my life in the Gama Empire, and that's where I know the area. If the recommended place isn't suitable, Elder, just say so."

"I, Yun, am genuinely seeking a good location for Canaan Academy; I have absolutely no selfish motives whatsoever."

Seeing that Yun Congxin had put his mind to this, Su Qian could only raise his cup and say, "Hehe, I misspoke. I hope Mr. Yun won't take it to heart."

Yun Congxin shook his head and got back to the main topic: "Within the Gama Empire, there is a huge mountain range that runs across the empire, called the Monster Mountain Range."

"I've thought it over. Canaan Academy is a self-contained institution, and the location of the new academy should not be near any major power."

"But the academy students still need places to train. In order to encourage the students to venture into deep mountains and forests, it would be best if there were many rare and precious materials outside the inner academy that could attract them. Therefore, I think the depths of the Monster Mountain Range are a good place."

Yun Congxin took out a map of the Jia Ma Empire, which floated in the air with the aid of wind-attribute battle qi. Yun Congxin pointed to the border of the Jia Ma Empire.

"This place is outside the control of the Gama Empire, and even the royal family has no right to interfere, so there is no need to worry about legal issues. There are also no seventh-tier magical beasts here, so clearing out a site to build an academy should not be a problem."

"Moreover, this place is sparsely populated and secluded." Yun Congxin flicked his finger and drew a circle on the map with his battle qi. "Elder, look here. There is a small country here. Calling it a country is just a town. I think it is very suitable to locate the outer courtyard here."

Su Qian stared at the circle on the map in silence for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "This is a matter of great importance, and I cannot make a decision on my own. I will remember this place and return to reply to Mr. Yun after discussing it with the elders of the academy. However, I would like to thank Mr. Yun for his kindness in advance; such a location is indeed excellent."

Yun Congxin didn't necessarily need an answer right now. He raised his glass and smiled, "Elder, please rest assured, it's just a suggestion. Whether it succeeds or not, it's just a suggestion."

So the two raised their glasses, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves immensely.
