Chapter 619: Chapter 615: The Duke Invites Chapter 619: Chapter 615: The Duke Invites With a flicker, the Heavenly Book Projection vanished into the jade pillow, and the dazzling golden light immediately disappeared, leaving no trace of a disturbance.

The anomalous event in mid air disappeared instantly when its source vanished. A few breaths later, the sky returned to its previous tranquility, as if the thunderous scene just moments ago had only been a dream.

Shen Luo heaved a sigh of relief and quickly continued to lie on the bed pretending to sleep, in case someone tried to investigate at this moment and expose him.

Time passed steadily, and after half an hour, no one came.

The heart that Shen Luo had been holding tightly finally relaxed. He sat back up, picked up the jade pillow, and scrutinized it carefully.

The Heavenly Book Projection was still within the jade pillow, quietly suspended, emitting a gentle golden light.

“Could it be that this Heavenly Book Projection doesn't disappear and will always exist here? If so, that's not good. This object is connected to my mana. As soon as I leave the jade pillow, the Heavenly Book will immediately appear and trigger an anomaly in heaven and earth.” Shen Luo frowned and pondered.

He pondered for a moment, put his hand on the jade pillow, and purified his magical energy into it, and quickly let out a soft gasp.

After cultivating his magic power, he had explored this jade pillow many times, but to no avail. But at this moment, when casting the spell to investigate, he sensed faint traces of magical power within, this sensation was just like the prohibition within magical instruments and treasures.

Shen Luo quickly closed his eyes and concentrated, running magical power along the traces of prohibition.

These traces of prohibition were as thin as spider silk, making the flow of magic power through them extremely difficult. He had to concentrate all his attentions and barely managed to make the magic power flow slowly through them.

After progressing along these prohibitions for a while, these prohibitions suddenly converged to a place, forming a junction point.

Shen Luo poured his magical powers into this point and an anomaly occurred immediately. This junction point emitted a suction force, continuously absorbing his magical power, while the Heavenly Book Projection within the jade pillow began to vibrate. It obviously had a significant connection with this junction point.

His spirit was shocked, and he continued to operate his magical power into it.

A few breaths later, with a soft “pop”, a ball of white light illuminated the junction point, and a star pattern appeared in it.

The Heavenly Book Projection inside the jade pillow immediately brightened and seemed to have grown larger.

“There is indeed a connection!” Shen Luo was secretly delighted in his heart and he operated his magical power to investigate the star pattern in the white light.

The star pattern immediately started shimmering violently, countless tiny white texts emerged from it. They surged along the magical power into his body, swarming into his mind.

“Ah!”

Shen Luo gave a miserable cry. Clutching his head, he collapsed onto the bed. His mind felt as if it was being stirred up with a stick, causing unbearable pain.

He quickly operated the Suppressing God Technique to stabilize his soul. However, the pain in his mind did not miss him and there seemed to be a force expanding within it.

If this force continued to expand, Shen Luo felt that his mind was going to be exploded. Fortunately, the pain quickly subsided, and all the small white characters had completely integrated into his mind.

Shen Luo was covered in cold sweat, wheezing heavily. After a while, he finally calmed down and opened his eyes.

At this moment, he understood the meaning of the white characters: it was a summoning technique similar to the Summoning Spirit Binding Demon Technique.

However, this summoning technique was not complete, only containing a small part of it.

“What's the use of such a fragmented technique?” Shen Luo laughed self-derisively and muttered to himself.

A moment later, he suddenly had an insight and looked towards the jade pillow once again. He touched the jade pillow and activated the summoning technique.

A layer of white light immediately emerged from the jade pillow, and the Heavenly Book Projection inside the pillow flashed a few times before abruptly disappearing.

“So, that's how it is. This summoning technique is specifically for the Heavenly Book Projection.” Shen Luo's face lit up with delight, and he continued to cast the spell on the jade pillow.

A few breaths later, the jade pillow flashed with golden light, and the Heavenly Book Projection emerged again.

He continued to operate the summoning technique until he fully understood this secret technique before he finally stopped.

Looking at the jade pillow, he couldn't help but smile. After possessing the jade pillow for so long, he could finally exert some control over it.

In the following time, Shen Luo continued to urge his mana to investigate the prohibition within the pillow, trying to discern more hidden secrets about the jade pillow. Unfortunately, those traces of prohibition disappeared when they reached the white star pattern and could no longer advance.

Finding no way to continue his investigation, he had no choice but to give up. He turned his attention to studying the abilities of the Heavenly Book Projection and poured his mana into it.

The Heavenly Book Projection brightened slightly, countless golden runes danced within it, and the book opened with a “whoosh”.

A golden light flashed above the jade pillow, and the wooden bed underneath him suddenly disappeared, leaving the tea table beside the bed untouched.

As Shen Luo was sitting on the bed, his body immediately fell towards the ground below as did the jade pillow.

He straightened his body and landed firmly on the ground, quickly snatching the falling jade pillow from the air, feeling secretly pleased.

Although this Heavenly Book is only a projection, it still has the ability to absorb things.

However, the absorption range of this projection is much less than that of the real Heavenly Book- only able to absorb things within a range of a few meters in front of it.

Even if it can only absorb things within a range of a few meters, this Heavenly Book Projection is very useful. He had experienced this absorption technique in Dreamland, almost nothing made of mana can escape it.

The activation of the Heavenly Book Projection for absorption, however, required the use of magic power.

Although this amount of magic power may seem insignificant for him in Dreamland, in reality, his cultivation level is not high and his magic power is superficial. He estimated that he could only activate it about three times.

“Three times it is then. If used properly, it could change the course of battle.” Shen Luo was not greedy.

He connected to the Heavenly Book Projection to return the wooden bed to its place. He then continued sensing the Heavenly Book to see if it had any other capabilities, such as summoning Heavenly Soldiers in reality.

Unfortunately, no matter how he impelled it, he could not summon the Heavenly Soldiers.

“It seems that a projection will always just be a projection. Though it possesses a certain power and can absorb things, it cannot call the Heavenly Soldiers.” Shen Luo tried several times, then gave up the effort.

He stowed away the jade pillow and began to think about how to find the reincarnated demon soul in the city of Chang'an.

According to Li Jing, that person had a mark of a plum blossom on his wrist. But in a city like Chang'an, with hundreds of thousands of people, where would he begin to look for this person?

After some thought, Shen Luo could only seek help from the Great Tang Dynasty Government. Given the credit, he had accumulated from his continuous achievements, Cheng Yaojin shouldn't refuse, he hoped.

While he was thinking, a series of footsteps sounded outside his door.

“Has Young Master Shen risen?” A woman's voice came through the door.

Shen Luo took a quick scan with his Divine Sense and found that the visitor was a maid from Cheng Manor.

“What's the matter?” He kept the jade pillow and got up to open the door.

“The Duke has returned to the Manor. He said he has something to discuss with you and requested for your presence in the hall.” The maid said with her head lowered.

Shen Luo's eyes flickered upon hearing this, he secretly wondered about the purpose of Cheng Yaojin's summon at this time.

Although he had spent considerable time in the Dreamland, in reality, only one night had passed. It was unlikely that the reward promised by Emperor Tang had arrived.
