With the Chaos Bell taken away by Yu Yuan, the rebellion on Taiyang Star also came to a stop.
Although it couldn't return to its normal state right away, it at least ceased spewing fire columns.
Golden Crow Crown Prince and two Demon Gods left the sun and arrived at a secluded valley, untouched by the previous disaster.
He took out a scroll of spells and a yellow straw figurine from his sleeve and handed them to Bi Fang Demon God, saying solemnly: "Please face west and build a tall platform, place the straw figurine on it, and write 'Qi Zhongjun' on it.
Then light a lamp above the head and another at the feet of the straw figurine. According to the method written on the scroll, perform the sealing and stepping ritual, burn incense and worship three times a day, wait until after twenty-one days at noon, then you may enact the ritual and take his life!"
Bi Fang Demon God took the scroll and straw figurine, a little surprised: "Just by worshipping like this, we can take someone's life?"
"Indeed."
Golden Crow Crown Prince casually replied: "This method is called the Nail-Head Seven Arrows, no matter where Qi Zhongjun flees, as long as we have an object imbued with his qi essence crafted into this straw figurine, after three to five days of worship he will become weak and energy-depleted; after eight to nine days, he will become exhausted and restless; after fifteen to sixteen days, his spirit will wander and he'll be unable to awake; after a complete cycle of twenty-one days, you can shoot the straw figurine with an arrow, claiming his life from afar!
Throughout the process, Qi Zhongjun will just feel weaker each day, yet he will be incapable of resisting!"
At this, he glanced subtly at Bi Fang and Zhu Yan, saying softly: "This Nail-Head Seven Arrows ritual can only be broken by a Quasi-Saint. Even if Qi Zhongjun is a Daluo Golden Immortal, he cannot escape this disaster, he is undoubtedly doomed!"
Hearing this, Bi Fang Demon God's pupils shrank, and he quickly bowed and clasped his fists: "Crown Prince, your mastery of this extraordinary art is indeed a great fortune for our Demon Clan! I am willing to follow you to the death and go through fire and water for you!"
Before he had finished speaking, Zhu Yan Demon God hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Crown Prince, me too!"
"You both are the main pillars of my father's court. In the future, I still need both of you Demon Gods to assist earnestly, and one day I will lead our Demon Clan to restore the supreme glory of the Ancient Era!"
Golden Crow Crown Prince helped both to their feet and said sternly: "Next, we must curse Qi Zhongjun and also find his location... Let's split up; you two Demon Gods shouldn't reveal your identities and will guard the altar here, while I will seek out Qi Zhongjun's hiding place."
As he spoke, without any visible moves, his majestic and luxurious Great Sun Robe transformed into an inconspicuous greyish-white Daoist robe, his appearance also changing significantly, now exuding an immortal and transcendental aura.
"Farewell, Crown Prince!"
The two Demon Gods bowed deep in farewell.
"Next time I appear in this guise, you need not salute me, just address me as Lu Ya."
Golden Crow Crown Prince instructed briefly and turned into a rainbow light, disappearing into the sky.
...
Eastern Emperor Heaven
The rebellious Taiyang Star stubbornly refused to set, emitting an excessive amount of light and heat, causing suffering to all beings below.
The Bright Moon that should illuminate the night hung in the Heavenly Vault as well, but it was only a faint shadow, hardly noticeable unless looked at carefully.
At this moment, above this moon, a white cloud drifted across the sky.
Unlike the scorching sun, this moon was bitterly cold, desolate and bleak everywhere, except for ancient glaciers and tundras that never thawed.
Yu Yuan appeared out of nowhere above a flat expanse of tundra.
From high above, the tundra below was as smooth and flat as a mirror.
"This should suffice."
Yu Yuan took out a palm-sized Treasure Hall from his Qiankun Ruyi Bag and dropped it.
The Treasure Hall expanded rapidly as it caught the wind, becoming a luxurious palace spanning hundreds of feet when it landed on the tundra.
Yu Yuan landed in front of the Treasure Hall and walked inside through the main doors.
Following closely behind, Yun Zhongzi stopped in his tracks and said solemnly, "Daoist Brother, you can refine the Chaos Bell inside the hall while I protect the law outside."
Yu Yuan turned his head and nodded at him, saying, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"Just go ahead," said Yun Zhongzi.
As he spoke, Yun Zhongzi took out many rare Spiritual Objects and began setting up an array around the Treasure Hall.
Before closing the door of the hall, Yu Yuan glanced inside and faintly saw several stone pillars engraved with Fire Dragon patterns, which made him feel uneasy.
Could this great nephew be planning to unleash the Sky-reaching Divine Fire Column and refine me to death so he can monopolize the Chaos Bell?
But then he thought, the other party had seen him bathed in Taiyang Fire, and should clearly understand that the Sky-reaching Divine Fire Column could not possibly refine him to death.
So, does he have some other more powerful Great Formation or Spiritual Treasure?
Or does he genuinely want to protect the law for me?
Although he still trusted Yun Zhongzi's character, at this moment Yu Yuan could not afford to be careless.
After all, it was the Chaos Bell!
Faced with such an Innate Treasure, Yu Yuan couldn't be certain whether the other party might be tempted by greed.
"Let it be, let's trust this great nephew one more time...after all, he can't kill me anyway."
Muttering to himself, Yu Yuan set up several small array formations inside the closed Treasure Hall to isolate external disturbances and signal warnings, then sat down in the center of the main hall, took out the Chaos Bell Fragments, and began refining.
He forcibly infused Mana deeply into the Chaos Bell.
Initially, the Innate Treasure resisted strongly, constantly resisting his intrusion.
Even forcibly squeezing inside was extremely difficult and narrow.
Yu Yuan was not in a hurry; he slowly withdrew his Mana and then squeezed back inside.
After repeating this dozens of times, his Mana could move smoothly and freely within the Chaos Bell.
At that point, he enveloped a thread of his Primordial Spirit with his Mana and entered the interior of the Chaos Bell.
Forty-nine restrictions lay before him, but only twenty-four were still somewhat intact and also heavily scarred, nearly shattered. The remaining twenty-five restrictions were basically completely broken, leaving only faint traces.
However, Yu Yuan did not intend to repair the Chaos Bell at the moment; he only wanted to leave his imprint on these restrictions.
The more dilapidated the restrictions were, the easier it was to succeed.
He controlled that thread of Primordial Spirit to repeatedly strike at the Innate Restrictions, imprinting his unique Primordial Spirit fluctuations on them, and attempted to decipher the Dao Runes that composed the Innate Restrictions.
Time passed unknowingly when suddenly, on a whim, he vaguely sensed something happening.
In the next instant, lines of numbers began rapidly jumping on the transparent interface before Yu Yuan's eyes:
[Undergoing Curse Killing from the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book: Qi-Blood +327, Soul Power +353, Spirit +299, Will +168, Primordial Spirit Strength +2572...]
[Undergoing Curse Killing from the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book: Qi-Blood +334, Soul Power +411, Spirit +303, Will +199, Primordial Spirit Strength +3642...]
...
"Very good."
Yu Yuan couldn't help but beam with joy.
"It seems that the Golden Crow Crown Prince still gives me face; keeping that strand of his hair was not in vain."
