Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 104 A Miracle of Resurrection? Impossible!

Chen Hengyi placed the blood-stained jade seal in front of the portrait of Patriarch Huaguang. Three sticks of incense rose gently, and the smoke condensed into a faint golden light in the air, circling the jade seal three times before disappearing into it.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the seal in his palm, his fingertips lightly tracing the square seal surface—the four characters "Chen Hengyi Seal" were ancient and vigorous in seal script, and the mountains, rivers, sun and moon carved on the edge were faintly visible in the light, as if they contained a miniature world.

"Master, your disciple Chen Hengyi, now uses his essence and blood to refine this seal. I wish to borrow the divine power of the Master to protect this seal, suppress evil and purify it, and also to protect your cultivation without hindrance."

He spoke in a low voice, the blood droplets on his fingertips already absorbed by the jade seal, leaving only a faint red mark.

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light seemed to flash in the eyes of the Huaguang Patriarch in the portrait, and a very faint golden light floated out from the portrait and landed on the top of the jade seal.

The jade seal trembled slightly, emitting a faint buzzing sound, before falling completely silent, as if it were just an ordinary jade seal.

Afterwards, Chen Hengyi did not remove the jade seal. According to the method in the "Playing with Fire Scripture," it needed to be placed in front of the ancestral master's shrine and left to stand still for seven days before it would acquire its initial power.

After that, it needs to be nurtured for 49 days before it is considered completely finished.

This was undoubtedly a huge project, and he was able to rest for a few days afterward.

Chen Hengyi exhaled a breath of stale air and wiped away non-existent beads of sweat.

Seven days later.

Chen Hengyi took the jade seal down, then opened his mouth and spat it out, setting it ablaze with fire.

In that instant, he felt a spiritual connection with the jade seal.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but marvel. This was the first magic weapon he had ever crafted, and it was indeed wondrous!

After that, Chen Hengyi took out a Five Thunder Talisman and stamped it with a jade seal.

The next moment, Chen Hengyi saw his own aura being drawn out by the jade seal, and at the same time, a certain aura in the surrounding environment seemed to be affected as well. Unfortunately, this world was an environment devoid of spiritual energy, and the jade seal was unable to mobilize the spiritual energy.

Chen Hengyi put away the jade seal, then looked at the Five Thunder Talisman before walking outside. He looked at the open space in front of him.

"Go!"

At a command, the Five Thunder Talisman suddenly burst into flames, followed by a flash of light, a muffled thud, and a fist-sized crater appeared on the ground.

Next to this pit, there is another pit about the size of a basketball, which Chen Hengyi created using the Five Thunder Token.

"Not bad. This is just an ordinary talisman. It has such power just by being stamped. If it were to hit a person, it would be smashed to pieces."

It's important to know that this is only a physical attack. The Five Thunder Spell has another effect against demons and monsters; it's their nemesis.

Chen Hengyi was very satisfied with this, but then he planned to set up his own version of the spirit-locking array.

During those seven days, he frantically studied formations and downloaded a lot of information online about Taoist formations, feng shui, and other related topics. With his current learning ability, he quickly mastered most of it.

For example, the Fengdu Prison Law, the Heavenly Guard Law, the Barrier Law, and so on.

As for the materials used to set up the formation, they naturally need to be spiritual items.

This was also easy to solve. He found some jade stones, and then separately injected the spiritual liquid from the Yin-Yang Jade into it, slowly changing its material under the burning fire.

Although he failed many times at first, he eventually managed to produce some spirit jade. Although it was rather rough, it was at least usable.

Furthermore, using real materials can effectively lock in spiritual energy and prevent it from leaking out too quickly. Chen Hengyi sensed it and found that it was within his tolerance range.

As for the range of the formation, Chen Hengyi was not greedy; he planned to set up the spirit-locking formation in the form of two nested formations.

The outermost layer, encompassing the entire villa, was made of ordinary materials that had just been treated with spiritual liquid, while the inner layer was decorated with spiritual jade in his bedroom, as he usually cultivated in his bedroom.

Half a day later, Chen Hengyi put down the last piece of jade and placed it at the foot of the bed in the bedroom.

In the next instant, Chen Hengyi felt as if the entire room had formed a closed little space, and all the materials he had placed there were connected together.

Ha, it worked!

He was overjoyed: "Could I really be a genius?"

Afterwards, Chen Hengyi tried to continue his cultivation.

After a night, when Chen Hengyi had used up a drop of spiritual liquid, he was surprised to find that the feeling of the environment competing with him for spiritual energy had become negligible.

Because the spiritual liquid was locked in the room as soon as it was released, before the world could absorb it, Chen Hengyi drew the spiritual energy back in.

Next, he went to check the losses required to set up the precious jade array.

"Fortunately, as long as it's not exposed to the air in the form of energy, the rate at which it's being absorbed is almost negligible. In that case, the plan for this small-scale dojo doesn't seem impossible after all."

Chen Hengyi had an idea: to set up a nine-fold array to completely lock up the spiritual energy, and then bring back spiritual energy from other worlds to transform his residence into a legendary immortal abode.

However, with his current resources and strength, it is far from enough.

As Chen Hengyi was thinking, he suddenly seemed to sense something, turned his head and was shocked to see a small green snake crawling in through the door.

Chen Hengyi looked at the little green snake, its forked tongue exploring the air repeatedly, as if it had been attracted by spiritual energy.

When he walked up to the little green snake, the snake did not show any aggression. In its seemingly cold and ruthless vertical pupils, there seemed to be a trace of liveliness.

Chen Hengyi raised an eyebrow: "You little brat, trying to steal my spiritual energy?!"

He then picked up the bell and shook it, and the water ghost appeared before him.

Chen Hengyi said, "Throw this thing into the river outside, throw it far away."

"Okay, boss!" The water ghost accepted the task, immediately picked up the little green snake, held it in his hand, and quickly darted out the door.

At this moment, Chen Hengyi strolled around the house and was surprised to find that, in addition to the little green snake, several sparrows had flown over and landed on the fence.

Even when he walked right up to them, the sparrows didn't fly away; it seemed they wanted to stay there.

Could these have been attracted by spiritual energy?

Not only that, he even noticed that the weeds in the yard were more vibrant than those outside.

Chen Hengyi felt strange: Could such a tiny wisp of spiritual energy cause such a big change in these plants and animals?

Why is it that even though it possesses spiritual energy in other worlds, the plants and trees still look ordinary?

He crouched down, his fingertips lightly touching the weeds in the corner of the yard. The dew on the leaves reflected the sunlight, as if they contained a faint trace of spiritual energy.

Chen Hengyi twitched his fingertips slightly, and a wisp of playful fire quietly emerged. The weeds withered instantly, and the dew evaporated completely.

Looking at the weeds in front of him, an idea suddenly popped into Chen Hengyi's mind.

"No, I need to reinforce a few more layers quickly, otherwise what will happen to the spiritual energy in that small area if someone escapes again?!"

If Chen Hengyi were an immortal, he wouldn't care about the revival of spiritual energy, or even if there were several dragons flying in the sky.

But he would still die if hit by a bomb now. Although he is extraordinary in some ways, he will still bleed in essence and doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for his son.
