Chapter 1357: The Demon Finally Awakens

In normal circumstances, rashly implanting fragments from other worlds, even if they are already shattered, into the Heaven Law Realm would inevitably cause the Heaven Law Realm's Heavenly Dao to generate resistant and repellent forces. This is known as a rejection reaction.

However, the world fragments implanted by the Celestial Physician had already merged with the remnants of five Dao Harmonizers. The Cosmic Spirit power within these Dao Harmonizers originally came from the Heaven Law Realm. Consequently, the degree of rejection during the integration process was remarkably low.

The Heaven Law Realm successfully devoured the fragments. Feeling a hint of vitality slowly flowing from this shattered world fragment into the Heaven Law Realm, the Celestial Physician couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. "My arduous journey was not in vain."

He observed quietly for a while. Perhaps because the Heaven Law Realm had been in a prolonged state of hunger, this fragment seemed particularly effective. Not only did it replenish energy, but it also reignited the vitality of the Heaven Law Realm, which had been temporarily suppressed by the Heavenly Dao due to cultivators' endless greed.

"In the future, if it needs to feed again, it won't be this troublesome. The remnants of this first fragment can be directly connected." "However, I'll need to head to the outskirts of the Star Sea again to retrieve new world fragments and continue the process before this world is completely digested..."

Thinking of this, the Celestial Physician couldn't help but frown slightly. Although his power allowed him to travel at high speed through the Star Sea, largely ignoring all dangers along the way, the Star Sea was simply too vast. A round trip would take approximately over a year. Furthermore, according to his estimation, the Heaven Law Realm would take about two years to fully digest this world fragment.

"Considering this, there won't be any free time for other matters. I won't be able to spare a hand..." The Celestial Physician sighed faintly, feeling the burden of carrying everything alone.

Although the Celestial Physician had nurtured some promising talents over the years, they were still far from capable of taking on significant responsibilities. This made him long for the old friends he had fought alongside in the past.

One figure after another flashed through the Celestial Physician's mind until, suddenly, he stopped sharply at one of them. "Heavenly Demon..." The Celestial Physician's expression became somewhat subtle.

Back then, before the War of Two Realms, the Heavenly Demon had already embarked on an astral journey beyond the heavens. Even during the most intense and brutal phases of the battle, the Heavenly Demon did not return. Yet, the Celestial Physician could faintly sense that the Heavenly Demon had not perished but still existed somewhere in the Star Sea.

Originally, the Celestial Physician had no intention of contacting the Heavenly Demon, the most unique being among the Heaven Law Realm's Venerables. The other Venerables were beings of the Heaven Law Realm, born from their resonance with and comprehension of the constant principles of the Heavenly Law.

The Heavenly Demon, however, was the sole exception. Like a dissonant note in a grand symphony, the Heavenly Demon spontaneously materialized from the Heaven Law Realm's constant principles related to inner demons. It was the Heavenly Dao of inner demons itself.

It had communicated with other Venerables, but not extensively. Although the Heavenly Demon originated from the Heaven Law Realm, it had, in effect, detached itself from the realm since its birth, severing its connection to the mother body that nurtured it. It showed little concern for the various affairs of the Heaven Law Realm, seeking only to advance further and pursue the elusive Supreme Realm. Remaining in the Heaven Law Realm would inevitably prevent transcendence from the mundane, which is why the Heavenly Demon departed with such resolve.

Even when the Heaven Law Realm was on the verge of life and death, the Heavenly Demon did not appear to help, indicating that there was no longer any bond between it and the Heaven Law Realm. "I wonder if the Heavenly Demon has now reached the threshold of the Supreme Realm."

The Celestial Physician's expression was somewhat uncertain as he pondered for a long time, eventually deciding to search for traces of the Heavenly Demon in the Star Sea. Looking up at the sky, his form transformed into a gentle breeze, merging with the Heaven Law Realm's cosmos. The constant principles hummed, and the laws operated like an incredibly precise machine, running ceaselessly day and night.

After half a day, he finally detected the approximate location of the Heavenly Demon. It was surprisingly at the outskirts of the Star Sea, amidst the sprawling Great Wall of Shattered Realms!

The Celestial Physician's mind was shaken as he pondered why the Heavenly Demon would be there. Without rushing to depart, the Celestial Physician invited all six of the Heaven Law Realm's current Immortal Venerables to convene before he left to discuss the future of the Heaven Law Realm.

Although those who arrived were mere projections, not their true forms, it did not hinder their communication. "We shall certainly follow the lead of the Great Venerable. After all, the Heaven Law Realm is our shared home. If it truly falls into the Immortal Ruin... vast as the Star Sea is, there will be no place for us to stand in the future." The first to speak was a middle-aged scholar. This individual attained Dao at the end of the cultivation wasteland era. Sensing that cultivators, after years of mutual slaughter, had become suspicious and dared not easily trust anyone else, he reversed the principles of heaven and earth, causing all lies in the world to cease. People honored him as Venerable True Word.

"Hehehe..." Before Venerable True Word had finished speaking, a sinister laugh echoed. "What does the survival or demise of the Heaven Law Realm have to do with me? I'd rather see it fall into the Immortal Ruin sooner!"

The Celestial Physician looked at the figure hidden beneath a black hood in front of him, and an undisguised killing intent flashed in his eyes. If there was one Venerable among them whom the Celestial Physician wished to eliminate swiftly, it was undoubtedly the one before him, Venerable Reversion.

This individual was originally also a cultivator who had achieved great mastery in the medical path. He comprehended the Heaven Law's process of devouring the Primordial World's cosmos and used this as a reversal mechanism, causing the Heaven Law Realm's Grand Dao to spontaneously generate resistance during the process of devouring other worlds. Venerable Reversion thus attained the Fruit of Immortality. Had it not been for this person's illogical obstruction, the Heaven Law Realm would have long ago completely devoured and digested the Primordial World. Now, when the Heaven Law Realm implants fragments from other worlds, it doesn't need to waste so much time.

Yet, Venerable Reversion showed no fear of the Celestial Physician and continued in a mocking tone: "If Heaven Law falls into the Immortal Ruin, it will inevitably be torn to shreds. At that time, it will be the moment for this Venerable to achieve Grand Dao! Of course, I couldn't wish for anything more!" All the other Venerables cast sidelong glances. Only Venerable One Heart, Zhao Ruoxi, spoke with a mix of resentment and infatuation: "It seems Brother Li dislikes me and is eager to escape from my side." As she spoke, glittering tears seemed to fall from her face. Venerable Reversion's voice abruptly cut off, and he instinctively moved a little distance away from Venerable One Heart, clearly wary.

The Celestial Physician snorted coldly and stated solemnly, "This Venerable will not force anyone to exert themselves. However, if anyone attempts to obstruct... even at the cost of damaging the Heaven Law Realm's constant principles, this Venerable will surely eradicate them completely!" "Do not say you were not warned!"

The words of the Celestial Physician, the Great Venerable of All Laws, were indeed highly deterrent. Under this warning, even the previously arrogant Venerable Reversion dared not openly object, only nodding in agreement.

Venerable Reversion, while reversing the principles of heaven and earth, also became a part of the Heaven Law's constant principles. As long as heaven and earth endure, the Venerables do not die. Thus, they are known as Immortals.

However, immortality does not mean invincibility. One simply needs to forcibly extract and destroy the principle represented by Venerable Reversion from the Heaven Law Realm to slay an Immortal Venerable.

However, performing such an act is, first, only possible for a grand cultivator who has mastered the principles of heaven and earth to the extreme, such as the Celestial Physician, the Great Venerable of All Laws. Second... even if successful, the process of extracting the heavenly principle would inevitably affect other constant principles of heaven and earth. The Heaven Law Realm would undoubtedly suffer a severe blow to its vitality. The already weakened Heaven Law Realm could no longer withstand such turmoil. This was why the Celestial Physician had been reluctant to act all this time.

"However, after I complete a few more feedings and the Heaven Law Realm recovers some of its vitality, I should be able to move and remove these parasites." The Celestial Physician looked at Venerable Reversion, temporarily suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

"The day before yesterday, I left the Heaven Law Realm and ventured into the Immortal Ruin to investigate. From there, I vaguely saw a figure seated on the ground..." Just as the scene grew quiet and tense, a voice suddenly broke the silence, startling everyone. The Celestial Physician couldn't help but look over. The speaker was Venerable Attainment, Su Bai.

He felt that all mortals were afflicted by the Immortal-Mortal Miasma, making it difficult for them to cultivate or attain Dao. Therefore, he reversed this principle, taking upon himself the suffering of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma on behalf of all beings in the world. Mortals only needed to recite the name of Venerable Attainment day and night; with sincere hearts, the Immortal-Mortal Miasma would naturally dissipate.

Su Bai smiled faintly and continued, "I also glimpsed a character from that Immortal Ruin." Using his finger as a brush, Su Bai instantly wrote the 'Hunger' character in the air. "It was blurry, so I could only restore it like this," Su Bai said, shaking his head with a hint of regret.

Even though Su Bai said so, the waves of power emanating from the character in the air demonstrated the terrifying nature of that True Immortal Inscription. "I believe the culprit behind everything falling into the Immortal Ruin is this character," Su Bai said. "True Immortal power naturally requires a True Immortal to wield it." "In the Star Sea, there's no shortage of residual True Immortal power. My suggestion is to study these powers and deduce their original True Immortal Inscriptions from them. We should use True Immortal Inscriptions to counter True Immortal Inscriptions," Su Bai said with a serious expression.

This suggestion immediately prompted the Venerables present to consider it seriously. Even the Celestial Physician frowned, contemplating its feasibility. Seeing this, Su Bai added another piece of compelling information: "To be honest, I've been secretly studying this for years and have already made some small progress. Your talents surpass mine. If we all work together... wielding True Immortal Inscriptions to control the Immortal Ruin will be within reach!"

With that, Su Bai wrote another character. However, compared to what he had seen in the Immortal Ruin previously, this one, which he had comprehended himself, was clearly somewhat weaker.

The Celestial Physician looked at the other Venerables, their expressions clearly showing interest. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. He already understood the power of these True Immortal Inscriptions. These individuals were already difficult to deal with; if they also mastered True Immortal Inscriptions... then even if it came to a fight, the Heaven Law Realm would be affected and turn into ruins!

Thinking of this, the Celestial Physician's mood grew more urgent. During the subsequent discussion, everyone reached a consensus. The actions would be divided into three factions: First, helping the Celestial Physician nourish and feed the Heaven Law Realm to strengthen its power. Second, comprehending True Immortal Inscriptions to resist the Immortal Ruin with external force. Third, remaining aloof and unconcerned.

After dismissing the group, the Celestial Physician, the Heaven Law Realm's Great Venerable, couldn't help but feel a little weary. With six Immortal Venerables holding the line, the Heaven Law Realm would be safe for the time being. Thus, the Celestial Physician rallied his spirits and galloped tirelessly towards the Heavenly Demon's sensed location.

"If I can secure the Heavenly Demon's help, I can seize control of these Immortal Venerables without anyone knowing." "This would maximize the avoidance of unnecessary casualties..."

The thought intensified the Celestial Physician's desire to find the Heavenly Demon. He journeyed through the Star Sea, day after day. Finally, he arrived at the outskirts of the Star Sea once more. After searching for a long time within his sensory range, the Celestial Physician finally found the Heavenly Demon. It was indeed alive, but frozen within a peculiar crystal!

"Crystalline Wind?" The Celestial Physician did not approach to directly retrieve the Heavenly Demon, merely observing from a distance. He recognized the peculiar power that had frozen the Heavenly Demon.

"Star Sea phenomena have rarely appeared for a long time." "It seems the Heavenly Demon met with misfortune not long after leaving the Heaven Law Realm back then..." "Perhaps I misjudged him; it wasn't that he refused to help, but that he couldn't."

Seeing his old friend in such a miserable state, frozen for ten thousand years, the Celestial Physician's heart filled with pity. "Legend has it that when the Crystalline Wind appears, it can freeze vast swathes of star fields, making it one of the most terrifying Star Sea phenomena." "Even a being of the Heavenly Demon's strength had no power to resist against such immense might."

The Celestial Physician's expression was grave. "After all this time, the freezing power doesn't seem to have diminished much." "That biting cold could even freeze the power of a True Immortal that approached it..."

But the Celestial Physician proved worthy of his title. He pondered for a long time on the spot and finally found a solution. He used hundreds of golden threads to entwine the ice crystal. Then, he dragged it, galloping towards the invisible high wall. As he neared it, he abruptly flung the crystal forward.

The high-speed flying ice crystal suddenly stopped in mid-air. It seemed to have suffered a violent impact, trembling incessantly. The Celestial Physician's eyes immediately lit up; he keenly sensed that a portion of the freezing power had been reduced by this collision. "Perhaps only the high wall can shake this deadly freezing power."

The Celestial Physician mused, and the golden threads reappeared. He pulled the ice crystal away from the high wall for a distance, then repeated the same trick.

Boom! Boom! Boom! With continuous impacts, the ice crystal grew smaller and smaller. When only a thin layer remained, the Celestial Physician couldn't help but reduce the force of the impacts.

After all, while theoretically, the Heavenly Demon was almost immortal and indestructible, the high wall was ultimately an unfathomable entity. He had to be careful. Otherwise, if this old friend didn't die from a Star Sea calamity but instead by his own hand... then the Celestial Physician would certainly feel extremely guilty.

Of course, the main reason was losing a crucial ally. The Celestial Physician's control over power was almost microscopic. Ultimately, through this somewhat peculiar method, he awakened the Heavenly Demon. A translucent, blurry figure stared intently at the Celestial Physician, remaining silent.

"Heavenly Demon..." Knowing that the other party had some awareness of the outside world even while frozen, the Celestial Physician spoke first, a little awkwardly. The Heavenly Demon's figure suddenly vanished. Moments later, it appeared within the Celestial Physician's mind!
