"Hmm?"
Zhou Xuan suddenly turned his head.
"Those who practice the Fire God Cult and wish to co back to life might not be able to, but the common folk can be resurrected, and the shattered Mingjiang Prefecture City can be restored."
"Will Heavenly Book?"
Zhou Xuan quickly asked.
"Correct, the Will Heavenly Book."
The incense fire Taoist pointed to a Bodhi Tree by the Mingjiang River and said: "Look over there again..."
The Bodhi Tree, transford by the Seven-Leaf Venerable, Zhou Xuan saw, after the Heaven and Earth chess ga was unlocked, within the Prefecture City, there were many deathly airs, like wisps of pale white smoke, flowing towards the Bodhi Tree.
"The aura of two Twenty-One Zen and God of Suffering haven’t dissipated; they’ve left all the old dead air of Mingjiang Prefecture within the Bodhi Tree, preserving the last hope of restoring Mingjiang Prefecture."
The incense fire Taoist said: "This layer of hope can be restored through the Will Heavenly Book, but... how to restore it will depend on how you gather the Wish Power of all beings as a young one."
"Mu Hua, can he be saved?"
Zhou Xuan asked the incense fire Taoist again.
"It’s very difficult... extrely difficult."
The incense fire Taoist said: "In this war, the greater the role played, the more traces left, the more traces, the harder it is to revive. To revive him would require an exceptionally large amount of Wish Power."
"Mu Hua broke the boundary, using his life to help you enter nine incenses, fighting alone against three Nine Incenses, the role played was truly imnse."
"To bring Mu Hua to life... the Wish Power needed would be even more vast than filling the Four Seas with water."
After finishing, the incense fire Taoist mounted a donkey and said: "Young one, the extrely difficult task isn’t impossible, since being able to save the entire Mingjiang Prefecture within the Heaven and Earth chess ga was an extrely difficult task as well, yet you and the God Traveling Departnt, Fox Clan accomplished it, didn’t you?"
"Hmm."
Zhou Xuan lightly responded and then tossed the wine jar down the Snow Mountain, striding away.
His mission was far from complete.
Repairing a city, saving the lives of many, had beco a knot in his heart, impossible to dispel.
"Young one, you and Mu Hua broke the boundary, but Mu Hua’s forr body locked the Mother of Hundred Demons of Buddha Country. Now, the Mother of Hundred Demons is lying within your Secret Realm—be careful when you recklessly use the incense fire skill, lest the Mother of Hundred Demons awakens."
The incense fire Taoist reminded.
"I know, but once I repair Mingjiang Prefecture City, I will return the Mother of Hundred Demons to Buddha Country."
...
With the Heaven and Earth chess ga solved, the burden on Zhou Xuan remained heavy.
But the first thing he needed to do was find Sister Cui.
Using the "Divine Soul Day Trip" and "Shifting Form" technique, he arrived at the Chenmu Sky Pit to see Sister Cui. They stood in silence.
Sister Cui just slowly walked towards Zhou Xuan and embraced him tightly.
Zhou Xuan knew that Sister Cui wanted to embrace not him, but "Mu Hua."
"Sister Cui..."
Zhou Xuan wanted to say—he could bring Mu Hua back to life, but upon careful consideration, what if he failed? Wouldn’t that be cruel?
To give Sister Cui hope only to be unable to fulfill it would be a second blow.
He ultimately chose not to ntion that the Will Heavenly Book could revive Mu Hua but instead said to Sister Cui: "Sister Cui, the Snow Mountain Fox Clan’s King Xishan is severely injured and cannot recover anyti soon, unable to protect you, and you’ve revealed your true form, which fears many will beco intrigued."
Sister Cui had hidden in East Market Street for many years to conceal her "Four Realm Earth Law" identity, now exposed as a Fox Clan mber; hiding further was impossible.
A new hiding place must be found for Sister Cui.
"With Mu Hua gone, I lack much will to live."
"Perhaps, one day, Mu Hua will co back."
"Can he return?"
Sister Cui sighed.
"Even so, you must live on."
Zhou Xuan said: "Sister Cui, let take you sowhere."
"Where?"
"Zhou Family’s Troupe."
Zhou Xuan said.
Given the current situation, Zhou Family’s Troupe is the most suitable place for Sister Cui to live—no one would dare bother her there.
Just like the Huangyuan Demon, Zoroastrianism, Seeking Wave Monk, chose not Mingjiang Prefecture but Mingjiang Prefecture, to force Nuo God to appear—they dared not go to Ping Shui Prefecture!
"I’ll go ho for Hua Zi’s clothes..."
Sister Cui thought of retrieving Mu Hua’s relics but rembered the food stall she’d operated for nearly twenty years, burnt to ashes long ago, sadness overwheld her, and tears welled up again.
"The fire burned so clean, too clean... everything gone."
Sister Cui said.
...
Zhou Xuan returned Sister Cui to Zhou Family’s Troupe.
He now could not "recklessly use incense fire skill," as the storyteller, tattoo, Dragon Seeking Dun Jia combined with Valley True Inheritance, cannot be used. If used, the "Mother of Hundred Demons" lying within the Secret Realm would erupt, posing a revival risk.
Without the Heaven and Earth chess ga and incense fire folding, Ping Shui Prefecture and Mingjiang Prefecture’s gods were exhausted, and if the Mother of Hundred Demons awakened now, they couldn’t gather enough Law power for resistance.
Fortunately, "Divine Soul Day Trip" and "Shifting Form," these techniques stem from Zhou Xuan’s super Perception, and their use does not agitate the Mother of Hundred Demons.
He and the painter together returned Sister Cui to Zhou Family’s Troupe—the painter carried Sister Cui, using Space Law to send them.
Inside Zhou Family’s Troupe, Lord Jian, Lord Jiu, Yuan Buyu, Zhou Lingyi, after the Heaven and Earth chess ga ended, were pulled back to Ping Shui Prefecture by the Zhou Family Ancestor Tree’s Tree Gate.
At this mont, the four of them were resting and recuperating in the courtyard.
Soone called out "The Young Master is back,"
Hearing this, despite heavy injuries, Lord Jiu forced himself to stand, Lord Jian also stood, and both clasped their fists towards Zhou Xuan and said: "For the disaster of one prefecture, we relied on the Young Master this ti."
"For such a grand sche, relying solely on isn’t feasible, today’s two prefectures’ God Traveling Departnt, Fox Clan, Peng Family Tree Clan, and Yin Hall Disciple, each and every one was comndable."
Zhou Xuan warmly embraced Lord Jian and Lord Jiu.
Yuan Buyu and Zhou Lingyi stood so distance away, with gentle smiles as they gazed at Zhou Xuan.
The current Zhou Xuan was a capable individual by himself, especially after understanding Valley True Inheritance and forming the Taoist Ancestor Mask, this young Nuo God, from now on, beca an unstoppable force in Jing Country.
No one could hinder Zhou Xuan’s rise anymore.
One as a sister, the other as a teacher, naturally felt gratified.
"Sister, Sister Cui’s true form is exposed; I thought of finding her a safe place to stay, later allowing her to live in Zhou Family’s Troupe."
Zhou Xuan pulled Sister Cui before Zhou Lingyi.
Zhou Lingyi set aside her usual aloofness, warmly holding Sister Cui’s hand, saying: "Sister Cui, we are people with destiny; you shall live here from now on."
"I can only cook a few dishes." Sister Cui said shyly, scratching her head.
"That’s perfect; every ti I cook, I lack soone to chat with. We’ll team up in cooking from now on."
Yuan Buyu said enthusiastically.
Having settled Sister Cui,
Lord Jian and Lord Jiu took the painter and Zhou Xuan to chat beside the battlefield courtyard.
Lord Jian got straight to the point saying: "Young Master, the arrow that finished Gong Zheng, I shot it, and I inherited Gong Zheng’s Divine Status—it was used to clear the door for Divine Arrow Hall, and the Divine Status resides in , though not fully integrated; I can return it to you."
"No need to return; it’s best you hold onto the Divine Status."
Zhou Xuan said to Lord Jian: "Mingjiang Prefecture is now desolate like a wasteland; the battle claid countless civilians. I am willing to use the Will Heavenly Book to repair Mingjiang Prefecture.
The Will Heavenly Book, as you understand, the greater the wish, the more needed approval from gods. Now, the more gods around us, the better."
Lord Jian having slain Gong Zheng and inheriting the Divine Status was what Zhou Xuan was most pleased to see.
This ant Zhou Xuan had beside him a third god-level presences—Music Master, Peng Sheng, Lord Jian.
The more gods there are, the greater the probability of realizing wishes from the Will Heavenly Book.
"Young Master, can Mingjiang Prefecture truly be restored? Can civilians be saved?"
The painter listened with fascination, as Mingjiang Prefecture is Jing Country’s economic hub, with food, entertainnt, nightclubs, cinemas, ports, hospitals, everything. Now burned to ruins, if it could be restored, it would be a trendous boon.
"There’s such an intention, but specifics on how to execute and the difficulty after enactnt are known only by practical knowledge."
Zhou Xuan began to instruct: "Old Hua, send out secret letters now to seal off Mingjiang Prefecture, preventing escape of survivors to other states; restoring Mingjiang Prefecture requires Human Desire Power, and if people flee, where will the Wish Power co from..."
