Chapter 260: The Avatar Suffers Damage, Accepting Han Yue as a Disciple!
Inside the inner courtyard, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower lost its bustling popularity after the fall of the Meteoric Heart Flame. In its vast space, only a few figures lingered. Those who still practiced here mostly sought the tranquility of this place.
Of course, another reason was that, regardless, the fire attribute energy within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower was always much stronger than that of the outside world. This was due to the massive world of magma underground, continuously emitting robust fire attribute energy. Although this energy had to penetrate through hundreds of meters of earth, it still managed to seep out somewhat.
Thus, for many students practicing fire attribute techniques, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower still remained a relatively good place for cultivation.
At this moment, a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared at the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
This shadow was none other than an avatar condensed by Gu He through the Soul Splitting Technique. With Gu He's cultivation improving, his avatar now possessed the strength of roughly a one-star Dou Venerate.
This time, Gu He ventured into the magma's depths to explore the rumored location of an ancient emperor's cave dwelling.
Sliding down the tower's base, the scorching wind howled past his ears. As Gu He's figure neared the underground world of magma, the surrounding air grew increasingly hotter.
However, for Gu He, who had reached the Dou Venerate realm and practiced fire attribute techniques, this level of temperature was practically enjoyable.
Continuing to slide endlessly, after a long while, Gu He's view suddenly widened, revealing a boundless world of magma before him.
Huge bubbles emerged from the magma, eventually bursting and releasing a scorching breath along with bits of white smoke that diffused into the air. This smoke contained a type of fire poison. If inhaled, even a soul avatar might encounter significant trouble.
Seeing this white smoke, the always cautious Gu He chose to temporarily avoid direct confrontation.
Hovering in place, Gu He looked down cautiously.
This world of magma was filled with silence, devoid of any sign of life, with only the faint sound of bubbling magma echoing around.
Here, the magma was quite viscous, rarely stirring up any waves. Everything about this place conveyed a sense of oppressive silence. Living here for too long might even alter one's personality, making it very strange and reclusive.
Calming his mind, Gu He pinpointed a direction and continued to dive quickly.
As he dove deeper, the temperature of the magma grew even hotter.
Without the protection of his original divine fire, the avatar had to use soul power to form a defensive barrier around his body to withstand the magma.
Suddenly, with his soul power's perception, Gu He sensed some peculiar figures a few hundred meters to his right.
"Living in this magma should be the Flame Lizard Clan!"
Through memories deep in his mind about the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Gu He immediately knew he had entered the territory of the Flame Lizard Clan.
However, with his soul perception at the Dou Venerate realm, he usually discovered the Flame Lizard people first under normal circumstances.
Thus, along his journey, Gu He had always chosen to avoid these Flame Lizard people whenever he sensed something amiss.
Suddenly, a powerful aura appeared in front of him.
Then, a scorching gust of wind fiercely approached, and Gu He's soul avatar quickly turned around to punch in response.
Boom!
After dispersing the attacking gust of wind with a punch, Gu He looked towards the direction from which the wind had come.
Under Gu He's gaze, about a hundred meters away, a red figure roamed within the magma. The figure was entirely crimson, blending in with the surrounding magma. If one didn't look closely, it would be difficult to detect.

Under Gu He's gaze, about a hundred meters away, a red figure roamed within the magma. The figure was entirely crimson, blending in with the surrounding magma. If one didn't look closely, it would be difficult to detect.
Moreover, its crimson body was covered with red scales, and a red scaly tail about several meters long swayed slightly. The red figure stood on two legs, though its feet were unusually large. Its head was round and covered with small scales, and its somewhat small eyes exuded a barely visible ferocity. Its large mouth was slightly open, revealing dense, sharp teeth. The creature looked like a lizard that could walk upright.
"Unexpectedly, I've encountered a nine-star Dou Ancestor from the Flame Lizard Clan so soon."
Upon sensing the strength of this Flame Lizard person, Gu He became more cautious.
"Chirp chirp!"
As Gu He's gaze was fixed on the nine-star Dou Ancestor of the lizard clan, the latter also stared back fiercely at him.
Suddenly, the lizard person's eyes burst with ferocity, and it let out a sharp cry. Then, its tail whipped behind it, and its sharp claws cut through the magma, charging straight at Gu He.
"It won't do to fight with it; it might attract more lizard people!"
"I remember, these lizard people seem not to understand the ways of space!"
Quickly thinking it through, Gu He's figure gradually disappeared from its original position, evading the Flame Lizard person's attack.
Just then, Gu He had used spatial techniques to retreat a considerable distance.
When he reappeared in the magma, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
In Gu He's vision, three huge bodies, entirely blood-red, were staring at him with blood-red pupils larger than trucks.
An extremely terrifying pressure invaded Gu He's mind.
In the next moment, Gu He's avatar was almost effortlessly smashed to pieces by one of the large creatures.
...
In the inner courtyard, within a quiet room.
Gu He suddenly opened his eyes from his meditative state, his face still showing a frightened expression.
"Unexpectedly, my first venture into the bottom of the magma met with such beings!" Gu He muttered to himself.
"If that's the case, exploring the ancient emperor's cave dwelling might be quite difficult!"
As Gu He frowned, Zi Yan's tender voice came from outside the room.
"Teacher, that silver-haired woman came looking for you last time."
Silver hair?
Could it be Han Yue?
Hearing Zi Yan's call from outside, Gu He slowly stepped out of the room.
In the courtyard outside, a tall, slender beauty in a silver dress had been waiting for a long time.
With just one glance at Han Yue, Gu He knew that Han Yue had completed her mission.
Her cultivation had broken through from a six-star Dou Ling to a seven-star Dou Ling.
"Elder Gu He, I said I could do it. Now, can I take you as my master?" Showing a row of bright teeth, Han Yue asked excitedly.
"Yes!"
