The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 569

Chapter 569: Chapter 565: Heavenly Book Chapter 569: Chapter 565: Heavenly Book “Elder, what is the purpose of controlling this Heavenly Book?” After pondering for a while, Shen Luo asked.

“The Heavenly Book contains the divine souls of almost all Heavenly Immortals. As long as they have not perished in battle, you can summon them with their divine souls, summoning their physical forms to assist you in fighting against your enemies. You might as well give it a try.” Li Jing encouraged with his words.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo slightly furrowed his eyebrows, wasn't this similar to the Contract Summoning Rune of the Underworld?

He lifted his hand and beckoned, and the Golden Heavenly Book indeed flew back from Li Jing's hand, hovering in front of him.

With a thought, Shen Luo raised his hand and passed it over the surface of the Heavenly Book.

A brilliant light shone on top of the Heavenly Book, a dense golden light rose up, and ancient characters appeared in it.

Shen Luo closed his eyes, and a wisp of his divine soul projected into it, beginning to sense the Divine souls of the Heavenly Immortals in the Heavenly Book with his soul power.

Upon sensing this, Shen Luo discovered that there were still quite a few divine souls in the Heavenly Book, apparently some Heavenly Immortals had not fallen. He sent his thoughts onto one divided soul, trying to summon it with his soul power.

However, when he operated his soul power, that divided soul did not respond at all. It only flashed a light and then immediately returned to its original state.

With a thought, Shen Luo immediately tried to communicate with another divided soul, but the result was still a failure.

“Elder, are there any tips for this summoning method that you have not told me? I have tried many times, but all to no avail.” After several attempts, he slowly opened his eyes and said.

“The method to communicate with the Heavenly Book entirely depends on the divine soul and I have not concealed anything. In this case, it is possible that the restraining power on the Heavenly Immortals was greatly reduced when the Heavenly Book split apart. The connection of these Heavenly soldiers and generals with the divine souls on the Heavenly Book might have been completely severed by someone.” Li Jing pondered slightly and said.

“If so, hasn't this Heavenly Book become a useless object?” Shen Luo asked in surprise.

“This is just a conjecture, it is also possible that these Heavenly soldiers and generals were seriously injured in the previous battles and had to choose self-sealing. Under these circumstances, the Heavenly Book cannot summon them.” Li Jing continued.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo suddenly raised an eyebrow and a question arose in his heart.

“Elder, since this Heavenly Book is split into several parts, does that mean that others also control the Heavenly Book? In this case, what will happen if other people are also summoning the heavenly soldiers and generals on the Heavenly Book?”

“This is the third possibility I wanted to mention. Others may have gotten the other parts of the Heavenly Book before you and have taken control of this part of the heavenly soldiers and generals using the power of the Heavenly Book. In this case, you naturally cannot summon them again.” A hint of approval flashed in Li Jing's eyes as he nodded and said.

“I understand.” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo nodded and said.

“Take good care of this part of the Heavenly Book. In the future, try to collect all the Heavenly Books and control their power completely. By then, even if you encounter a great demon or troll on the level of the Taiyi True Immortal, you will have the power to counter them.” Li Jing's gaze fell on Shen Luo, and he slowly said.

The way he looked was like an elder instructing a junior in the family, both a form of entrustment and a kind of inheritance.

“Elder has aided me in my cultivation and has passed the Heavenly Book to me. I would like to know how should I proceed in the future, I hope elder can guide me on this path.” With a wave of his hand, Shen Luo sent the Heavenly Book back, it entered in-between his brows and disappeared in a flash.

“The invisible hand of fate guided you to me, and it will also guide you on your journey in the future. There is nothing else that needs to be explicitly mentioned here.” Li Jing said.

As he finished speaking, the golden glow of Li Jing began to fade gradually, as if his strength was also slowly disappearing. Yet, his gaze remained as calm as still water.

At that moment, a strange look flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally remembered something. His mouth moved, but no sound came out.

“What?” Shen Luo immediately stepped forward to ask.

Li Jing's divided soul was running out of energy too fast to finish his sentence. A look of sudden realization crossed his face. Then the golden light faded and he dissipated into a wisp of smoke.

“Elder…”

A wave of inexplicable sorrow rose in Shen Luo's heart, and he couldn't help but murmur.

At the same time, the golden skeleton atop the throne also collapsed in an instant, turning into golden dust. It completely dispersed, leaving only the miniature golden pagoda, which fell to the ground.

Shen Luo's eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the golden pagoda. Looking at the layers of the pagoda's body, he felt an increasing sense of heaviness in his heart.

On his journey, he saw more and more apocalyptic scenes and experienced more and more hardships. As he learned more and more abilities, it seemed as if he was also carrying an increasing amount of responsibility.

The Dao of talisman inscriptions taught by Yu Meng's father, the alchemy secrets taught by Granny Ma, the various immortal methods of Mount Fangcun, and now the entrustment of the Heavenly Scroll by Pagoda Heavenly King – all these contributed to making him the Shen Luo of today.

He put away the golden pagoda. Looking around, he saw points of golden light twinkling in the surrounding void, as bright as fireflies rising up and then dispersing rapidly like fireworks.

At the same time, a vast expanse of azure sea sprawled under a clear sky without a cloud in sight.

Suddenly, an enormous shadow appeared over the sea, its massive shade eclipsing the sun and completely obscuring an island that stretched hundreds of feet into the sea below.

The immense figure spread its wings, which were a thousand feet wide. It seemed to be the legendary Kunpeng giant bird.

A desolate wail came from its mouth, and its feathers began to fall off rapidly, turning into numerous stray feathers whisked away by the wind.

The white feathers decayed rapidly as soon as they detached from the bird's body. They did not fly far before they started emitting black smoke and vanished into thin air.

The bare Kun peng started plummeting rapidly, and white smoke rose from its exposed flesh. This shrouded an area of several tens of miles around the sea.

Accompanied by a loud “boom”, the descending Kun peng heavily crashed onto an isolated island. Its huge body spanned the entire island, with its head, claws, and tail sticking out from the island and sinking into the sea.

The white smoke from the body of the Kun peng continued to rise, its flesh and skin decaying quickly, evaporating in large amounts. Soon, only a stark white colossal skeleton remained.

From the hollow underbelly of the skeleton, a golden light finally lost its last glint and disappeared. Three figures emerged slowly from where the golden light had vanished.

The man in the center was Shen Luo. After he steadied himself, he turned to see a handsome man clad in golden scaled armor with short horns on his head, standing not far from him.
