Chapter 92: Can’t Handle It? Then I''ll Just Call for Backup!


    ?


    However, since Gu Fei was already here, he decided he might as well give it a try.


    Qiu Ling noticed the expression on Gu Fei''s face and shook his head slightly, not optimistic about his chances. The entire Pill Tower was filled with powerful individuals, yet even the Association Heads had failed to refine the Three Thousand Burning me. Gu Fei''s chances seemed equally slim.


    "Young friend Gu Fei, you can try sending a wisp of your soul force into that spot to see if you can pacify the Three Thousand Burning me. But remember, do not damage the seal," Qiu Ling instructed, pointing to a special scale on the dragon''s body.


    "Pacify it?"


    Upon hearing this, Gu Fei couldn''t help but silently ridicule the idea. No wonder no one in the Pill Tower had managed to refine the Three Thousand Burning me after all these years. This thing had already developed human-like intelligence- how could it be pacified? There was no such thing as a true Buddhist path in this world! The Three Thousand Burning me had been imprisoned in the Star Realm for so long, its hatred for humans ran deep. Given the chance, it would certainly go on a rampage. To refine it, one couldn''t rely on the vague notion of "pacifying" it. The only way was to directly destroy its consciousness, revert it to a chaotic state, and then suppress and refine its source me.


    "Understood!" Gu Fei thought to himself, temporarilyplying with the suggestion. He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the imposing dragon engulfed in mes before finding the human-sized scale.


    Indeed, that particr scale was free of mes.


    As Gu Fei''s gaze moved across the scale, he noticed it was covered in thread-like ck lines. These lines were intertwined, forming strange runes that clung tightly to the scale, like a vast ck that enveloped the Three Thousand Burning me, keeping it trapped.


    Gu Fei understood that this was the seal jointly ced by the Pill Tower leaders, the very reason the Three Thousand Burning me remained confined in the Star Domain.


    He stepped closer, sensing the faint aura of intimidation emanating from the scale.


    "Let''s see just how fierce this guy really is!"


    With a probing mindset, Gu Fei reached out, touching the special scale without hesitation. Surprisingly, the scale wasn''t hot at all; instead, it carried a faint chill.


    But Gu Fei had no time to ponder this anomaly. Closing his eyes, he cautiously channeled his soul force through his arm, allowing it to slowly infiltrate the scale.


    "Boom!"


    As soon as Gu Fei''s soul force prated the scale, a faint, low sound echoed, and his soul seemed to break through something, emerging in a strange void.


    This void was filled with purple-ck mes, and at its center, Gu Fei spotted a miniature dragon. This small fire dragon, though tinypared to the massive dragon in the Star Realm, exuded an even more terrifying aura. However, the dragon was curled up with its eyes closed, as if in slumber.


    Seeing the dragon''s closed eyes, Gu Fei realized that this creature was the true source me of the Three Thousand Burning me.


    Gu Fei knew that the me wasn''t actually asleep-it had noticed him the moment he entered.


    "Three Thousand Burning me, I know you want to escape. If you submit to me, I can help you leave this ce!" Gu Fei''s soul force swept over the small fire dragon as he spoke openly about his intentions.


    In the next instant, the small fire dragon''s eyes abruptly opened. Its purple-ck eyes, filled with coldness, locked onto Gu Fei''s soul.


    Three Thousand Burning me feels mockery. Emotion value +30


    "Human, do you think I would believe such nonsense?"


    "Submit to you? How would that be any different from death?"


    The fire dragon suddenly spoke in cold, mocking tones. No matter how strong it was, it had suffered countless betrayals at the hands of humans. Ever since it was sealed in the Star Realm, countless humans had attempted to refine it. From then on, the Three Thousand Burning me understood that all humans coveted its source fire. But their words wereughably hypocritical-they all imed they would set it free. How ridiculous! Refining the source fire required erasing its consciousness, leaving only an empty shell-what difference would that make from death? Even if another consciousness eventually emerged, it would no longer be the same.


    "So, you''re not foolish after all!"


    Gu Fei wasn''t surprised by the Three Thousand Burning me''s reaction. This type of Heavenly me had already developed a level of intelligence no different from a human''s.


    Three Thousand Burning me feels anger. Emotion value +30


    "Get out!"


    The Three Thousand Burning me roared in fury, its eyes burning with purple-ck mes. The fire erupted violently from the fire dragon''s body, surging toward Gu Fei''s wisp of soul force.


    If Gu Fei''s actual body had been present, he might have been able to resist, considering the Heavenly mes within him weren''t to be underestimated. But this was merely a wisp of his soul force, unable to withstand the me''s onught. The mes scorched his soul, engulfing Gu Fei''s figure in a sea of purple-ck fire.


    Back in the Star Realm, Gu Fei, whose hand was still touching the scale, suddenly opened his eyes, his face showing a trace of anger. He had pulled back just in time to avoid being burned. Seeing this, Elder Qiu Ling understood that Gu Fei had failed. "Young friend Gu Fei, many have tried to pacify the Three Thousand Burning me over the years without sess. It seems your fate with it is insufficient!"


    Hearing Qiuling''s words, Gu Fei frowned.


    "Elder Qiu Ling, the Three Thousand Burning me has developed a consciousness as intelligent as a human''s. The idea of ''fate'' is meaningless!" Gu Fei retorted, unafraid of


    offending anyone.


    If the Pill Tower continued with this ludicrous, pseudopassionate approach of trying to pacify it, no one would ever manage to subdue the Three Thousand Burning me. Dealing with a sentient being so filled with hatred for humanity required a far more direct approach. "Then, young master Gu Fei, what do you propose? Can you suppress it directly?"


    Qiu Ling feels displeasure. Emotion value +30


    Qiu Ling''s expression stiffened as he spoke. He was clearly annoyed, but knowing that Gu Fei''s background was likely extraordinary, he kept his tone somewhat restrained.


    Qiuling believed that although Gu Fei was gifted, he was still too young to have the power to subdue the Three Thousand Burning me directly.


    "Suppress it directly..."


    Gu Fei remained silent for a moment, considering his options. So far, he had not asked for any help from his n during this training journey.


    Since he couldn''t defeat it alone, why not call for reinforcements?


    "While I may not be able to subdue it myself, if one of my elders were to assist, suppressing


    the Three Thousand Burning me would be a simple task!"


    Having made up his mind, Gu Fei crushed a spatial jade slip. As it shattered, an immensely powerful spatial force surged forth, warping a section of space nearby into a rift.


    As the rift formed, a white figure slowly emerged from within.
