After Xin Sui left, Xuan Tu cleaned up the cake box and put it away.
So far, I've collected 15 cake boxes.
I wonder how many I'll eventually collect?
Xuan Tu changed his clothes, entered the workshop, and continued to refine defensive magical artifacts.
It's the same style as the previous anklet.
The refining process is nearing completion; only one final step remains to finish.
A fragment of Xuan Tu's soul emerged from his body and entered the anklet in his hand.
It became the spirit of this mysterious artifact.
A magical artifact imbued with a spirit is like a robot gaining intelligence and autonomy.
It is no longer an inanimate object.
Xuan Tu teleported to Xin Sui's room and fastened the anklet to her ankle.
He watched her for a while before leaving.
Instead of returning to the small courtyard, he traveled to the Heavenly Book City, a thousand miles away.
Inside the Heavenly Book Pavilion, Xuan Tu appeared in mid-air, took a step, and disappeared into the information flow brain in mid-air.
"Oh dear, what brings you here again? A person can only ask one question in their lifetime, and no one is an exception. Get out of here now."
The mimicry of the Heavenly Book—a tiny book with wings—flew to Xuan Tu and drove him away.
Xuan Tu didn't say a word, but simply raised his hand and snatched it away.
Black flames suddenly shot out from his palm.
"Ouch! Someone's burning books here! Is anyone going to stop them?!"
The heavenly book shouted at the top of its lungs.
Xuan Tu: "He still has the strength to shout, it seems he hasn't burned enough."
They immediately increased their firepower.
Black flames filled the entire space, like hellfire trying to consume everything.
In the past, there have been those who wanted to monopolize the Heavenly Book or coerce it into submission through force.
But no one has ever succeeded.
Because the Heavenly Book hides its true form in a place unknown to anyone, and the stream of information in the Heavenly Book Pavilion is merely a wisp of its consciousness.
Information flow is built upon the ubiquitous mysterious network; wherever the mysterious network is, there it is.
In the world of the internet, it will never perish.
Not to mention burning it to death.
The Heavenly Book made a show of shouting for a while, then calmed down in an instant and mocked, "You think your fire can burn me to death? Save your Xuan power."
"So many people have tried to possess me and tame me, but have they succeeded? No."
Do you think you'll be the exception?
Xuan Tu: "I am."
He disappeared for a while, and when he reappeared, he was holding a book in his hand.
A book that should have been very large and thick, but he shrunk it to less than the size of the palm of his hand.
It is the very essence of the Heavenly Book.
It struggled in his hands, trying to escape.
But it was all in vain.
"How...how did you know where I was hiding?!"
The mimicry book let out a terrified scream.
Its very essence is in someone else's hands; it's finished!
A ring of fire suddenly appeared in Xuan Tu's hand, and the Heavenly Book was trapped inside the ring of fire.
The edges were quickly charred black, and wisps of smoke rose from them.
"Ah! Don't burn me! Spare me! Ask me anything you want, and I'll tell you everything I know!"
Xuan Tu gently brushed the Heavenly Book, and the flames on it went out.
However, the damage that has already been done cannot be recovered in a short period of time.
"Is the Heavenly Demon Bone inside me?"
The Heavenly Book replied weakly, "Yes, you are afflicted with the Heavenly Demon Gu. When the Gu is fully formed, you will become a complete Heavenly Demon."
"The bones in your body are naturally the Heavenly Demon Bones."
It answered in great detail, clearly terrified of being burned and unwilling to leave out a single piece of information.
Xuan Tu was not unexpected.
Its answer was similar to his previous guess.
"How can we speed up the process of Gu formation?"
The Heavenly Book was astonished.
When ordinary people learn that they have been infected with the Heavenly Demon Gu, shouldn't their first question be how to cure it?
Why would he want to speed up the process of forming the Gu?
Yes, he's not an ordinary person, much less a normal person!
How can one use ordinary people's thinking to figure it out?
"The Heavenly Demon Gu feeds on filth and odor, which refers to various negative and dark odors such as death odor, yin odor, and resentment odor."
"As its host, all you need to do is kill more and let it eat a lot."
"The more it eats, the faster it grows, but correspondingly, the greater the impact on you."
"In the end, you may lose control of yourself and become its puppet, a killing machine."
The Heavenly Book's description was relatively mild.
When the Gu is fully formed, the host body of the Heavenly Demon Gu is unlikely to become a puppet, but will definitely become one!
Unless, he is a god.
He can break free from the control of the Heavenly Demon Gu.
But is he?

When Xin Sui woke up, she found that she had an anklet on her foot.
It's exactly the same as the previous one.
I wonder if Xuan Tu has some special fetish for chains.
Xin Sui fiddled with the anklet, feeling mostly happy.
After all, with this anklet, her personal safety would be guaranteed.
As long as the extreme situation like last time doesn't happen again, she can roam freely throughout the entire Bright City.
However, she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the anklet seemed a little different.
The difference is... after she touched it for a while, it actually got warm!
What the heck!
The anklet I wore last time felt amazing against my skin, warm and cool to the touch, and it wasn't bulky at all.
Why is this still getting hot?
Xin Sui couldn't understand it.
After I stopped touching it, the anklet's temperature gradually returned to normal.
