Chapter 1014: Chapter 1011: The Heavenly Book Unites Chapter 1014: Chapter 1011: The Heavenly Book Unites “Chiyou's body is undying and indestructible; it is impossible to kill him. The only method is to use the Map of Mountains and Rivers to seal him. We have already obtained fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and next, we need to merge them into one. The Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation here has the effect of isolating the fluctuations of Qi, I enhanced the power of this formation to facilitate the merging of the Map of Mountains and Rivers,” Zhenyuanzi said.

“So that's the case. Since Zhenyuan Taoist friend has already made preparations, let us start now,” Shen Luo said, flipping his hand to take out four fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

“Not so fast, the Map of Mountains and Rivers is a Heavenly Treasure. Now that it's broken into four pieces, merging and repairing it is not so simple. We need the help of another Heavenly Treasure,” Zhenyuanzi said as he waved his hand.

“What treasure? Are you talking about the Heavenly Scroll in our hands?” Shen Luo asked, but he immediately thought of the answer.

“Correct, it is the Heavenly Scroll. This item is not only a treasured item that protects the Heavenly Court but also one of the Heavenly Treasures. To thoroughly restore the Map of Mountains and Rivers, we must use the power of the Heavenly Scroll,” Zhenyuanzi stated.

“If that's the case, let's first unify the Heavenly Scroll,” Shen Luo said, flipping his hand to take out the Heavenly Scroll Fragment from his body and handed it to Zhenyuanzi.

Yang Jian and Nie Caizhu also took out the Heavenly Scroll Fragments in their hands and handed them to Zhenyuanzi.

“Zhenyuan Taoist friend, after merging the Heavenly Scroll Fragments, will there be any impact from the soul imprints of the Demon Clan that were already left inside?” The Bull Demon King did not immediately hand over the Heavenly Scroll Fragment, remained silent for a moment, and then asked.

Unlike Yang Jian and Shen Luo, he, intending to protect his kin, had gathered a large number of soul imprints of his Demon Race into the Heavenly Scroll, and he was deeply concerned about the impact after the unification of the Heavenly Scroll.

Over the years, relying on the power of the Heavenly Scroll, his Demon Race's strength was preserved most intact, but this also deepened the link between those demons and the Heavenly Scroll Fragments. Now, it was impossible to separate them.

“After the Heavenly Scroll is merged, the binding force on the demons with soul imprints left inside will significantly increase, but it will not harm their lives,” Zhenyuanzi said, clearly understanding the Bull Demon King's concerns; yet, he did not lie.

The Bull Demon King's expression darkened upon hearing this. The Demon Race valued freedom above all else. If the Heavenly Scroll was unified, wouldn't the many demons inside lose their freedom forever, just like the Heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court?

“Bull Daoist friend, what's most important now is to suppress the demon Chiyou and save all creatures of the Three Realms, including the Demon Race. If the creatures of the Three Realms suffer, it's akin to losing the lips and thus the teeth will feel cold; you should understand this principle,” Zhenyuanzi said.

“Zhenyuan Great Immortal is right. If Chiyou is allowed to be reborn, all of us will be annihilated; once we're dead, what's the talk of freedom?” Shen Luo also persuaded.

“You're both right; I've become too attached,” the Bull Demon King said with a wry smile, and then he took out his piece of the Heavenly Scroll Fragment and handed it to Zhenyuanzi.

Zhenyuanzi took the fragments, swept his sleeve, and the Heavenly Scroll Fragment in his hand also flew out.

The five fragments hovered in midair, then connected to each other. A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth, as if the sun had suddenly appeared in this place.

Boom!

An immense aura erupted from the golden light, filled with towering authority. Even with Shen Luo and the others' strong cultivation levels, they were pushed back several steps.

The surrounding Zhou Tian Star Battle Formation seemed to sense a threat and automatically began to rumble, keeping the burst of Qi from the Heavenly Scroll confined and preventing it from spreading outside the cave.

A good while passed before the golden light on the Heavenly Scroll finally receded, revealing its true form.

The five Heavenly Scroll Fragments had merged into one, forming a complete golden scroll. However, there were four obvious cracks on the Heavenly Scroll, and the surrounding golden light was also visibly unstable.

“To fully restore the Heavenly Book, it will still require a period of time for ritual refining. Leave this task to me and Brother Shen. True Monarch Erlang and Great Sage, you shall act separately, and try to contact some scattered forces throughout the Three Realms. Have them gather here, and then we'll all head to Chang'an City together. There isn't much time, everyone should get to their tasks!” Zhenyuanzi said solemnly.

Yang Jian and the others immediately nodded.

“Zhenyuan Daoist friend, I didn't have time to ask when we were in the Underworld, why did Chiyou awaken so much faster than we had anticipated? According to our previous estimates, there should have been two or three years left,” Yang Jian asked suddenly before departing.

“The people of the Demon Clan have lost all reason and conducted a blood sacrifice with the entire population of Chang'an City, which accelerated Chiyou's awakening,” Zhenyuanzi said with a heavy voice.

Shen Luo's complexion instantly turned ashen, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Chang'an City was one of the very few places in Great Tang that had not fallen. People who had narrowly survived from all places had gathered there; the population exceeding that of a thousand years ago. That Chiyou had conducted a blood sacrifice with an entire city's people!

Upon hearing this, both Yang Jian and the Bull Demon King had extremely unsightly expressions, but they did not ask further, employing the Earth Escape Technique, and flew upwards to leave.

“Cousin, Mount Putuo has been attacked by the Demon Clan and no longer exists, but there might still be some disciples left. I'll also go out and try if I can contact them,” Nie Caizhu said to Shen Luo.

“Demons are everywhere outside, be careful on the road,” Shen Luo took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the grief and anger in his heart, and cautioned her.

“Don't worry, I have the Jade Purification Bottle and the Yangliu Branch. Even if I encounter the Twelve Distinguished Ones, I should be able to make a full retreat,” Nie Caizhu said with a charming smile, then her figure flickered and she vanished on the spot, using an escape technique to leave.

Soon, only Shen Luo, Zhenyuanzi, and Nezha remained in the cave, with the other members of the Demon Race and the Heavenly Soldiers inside the Heavenly Book.

“The task of contacting the old forces of the Heavenly Court could be left to Erlang Yang. I'm not needed for that; I'd better stay and lend you both a hand,” said Nezha.

“That would be good, as the fame of the Third Prince's Flame Divine Powers is renowned across the Three Realms. You could provide the flame necessary for repairing the Heavenly Book and the Map of Mountains and Rivers,” Zhenyuanzi said.

“No problem, leave it to me,” Nezha grinned.

“Zhenyuan Taoist friend, are you planning to repair the Heavenly Book and the Map of Mountains and Rivers at the same time?” Shen Luo frowned.

“Indeed, these two treasures are both Heavenly Treasures of the Heavenly Dao; they can influence each other, and repairing them simultaneously will save much more effort than doing so separately,” Zhenyuanzi chuckled, clearly having thought everything through already.

Shen Luo, well aware of Zhenyuanzi's extensive knowledge that was far beyond his own, did not say anything more and handed over the four pieces of the Map he held.

Zhenyuanzi took them, waved his sleeves, and a purple Artifact Refining Furnace appeared.

The furnace was about three Zhang high, engraved with the earth, sun, moon, and the patterns of the constellations. Unknown what material the Refining Furnace was made of, its entirety glowed with a purplish luster. Occasionally, wisps of misty purple qi would rise from within and form into clusters of auspicious purplish clouds around it.

“What is this Immortal Furnace? It is truly wondrous,” said Shen Luo, looking at the furnace before him and keenly sensing that it seemed to contain a world inside it, with a mysterious force roaming within.

“This furnace is named the Sun, Moon, and Stars Furnace. It was a piece of Purple Lapis Lazuli Immortal Jade I obtained from Mount Buzhou during my early years of wandering through Hongmeng; it took me tens of thousands of years to refine it. I am confident that even when compared to Taishang Laojun's Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, this Sun, Moon, and Stars Furnace is not inferior,” Zhenyuanzi said with a proud expression, gesturing with a command.
