Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 84 Transmigrating into the "List of Calamities"

After much deliberation, Chen Hengyi decided to pursue his breakthrough in the next world.

Because in the *Xi Huo Jing* (a classic text on the art of fire manipulation), Master Huaguang also instructed that when undergoing a breakthrough, it is best to find an auspicious location and time.

Seeking a lucky person.

In other words, he needed to find a good place, a good time, and preferably someone to protect him. But the real world was a place devoid of spirits, and Chen Hengyi dared not take the risk.

As for the protectors, he actually had a plan in mind, but he would have to wait until he got to the next world to discuss it.

Chen Hengyi finished his cultivation and then took out the Five Thunder Token, intending to repair it.

The Five Thunder Token was damaged, with a hole on the side. On it was an image of an immortal holding a divine sword, but upon closer inspection, there was a vertical pupil between the immortal's eyebrows.

Furthermore, the object he held in his hand didn't appear to be a divine sword, but rather a hard whip, though the depiction on it was abstract, resembling both a whip and a sword...

If he wasn't guessing, this should be Lei Zu, also known as the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens, the supreme god of the Thunder Department.

On one side of the back are the four characters "Five Thunder Commands". In addition to these, there are some tadpole-like small talismans, which are difficult to identify because they have rusted.

But this was only the surface. When he peered inside with his eyes, he saw a special "qi" within the Five Thunder Token. This "qi" formed the Five Thunder Incantation, but it was very weak. Furthermore, because a corner of the Five Thunder Token was missing, the Five Thunder Incantation was interrupted.

Seeing this, he understood that to repair it, he not only had to fix the missing corner, but also make sure the air inside was connected.

First, materials are needed. Chen Hengyi looked at the Great Black Buddha Mother, but after just one glance, he realized it wouldn't work because the two have completely opposite properties.

For a time, Chen Hengyi didn't have any good materials on hand. However, when he tried to inject his playful fire into it, he unexpectedly discovered that his playful fire could temporarily connect with the "qi" inside.

Chen Hengyi walked to the open space outside the door and examined the Five Thunder Token in his hand.

"Want to give it a try?"

As the flames surged, he felt as if rust was falling from his fingertips, and then he pushed the Five Thunder Token forward toward the open space!

The next moment, there was a loud "bang," and the ground seemed to explode like a grenade, revealing a crater the size of a basketball.

"Holy crap! That's incredibly powerful!"

If the Five Thunder Order were to strike a person, they would be covered in bruises.

After that attack, the Five Thunder Token seemed to have been reawakened. The rust on its surface fell onto Chen Hengyi's hand, and the scribbles on it became clearer.

However, he noticed that the gap had also widened a bit, so it seemed that the Five Thunder Token couldn't be used casually; perhaps it could be used as a trump card.

This at least provides another means of dealing with the enemy, which is a good thing.

Finally, Chen Hengyi checked himself over from head to toe, and his condition reached its peak. He then decided to start the next time travel.

First, go back to the room and pack everything that needs to be prepared. The opera box can still only hold two sets.

Then he offered incense to the patriarch Huaguang, told him about his upcoming journey, and carefully invited him down, rolling up and putting away the portrait of Huaguang.

Finally, Chen Hengyi looked at the large black Buddha Mother, hesitated for a moment, and decided to take it with him.

Although it is heavy and inconvenient to move around, according to the "Playing with Fire Scripture", as long as one breaks through the level of refining essence into qi, one can refine some simple small magical artifacts.

Then, the remains of the Great Black Buddha Mother will be put to good use.

After putting away the Great Black Buddha Mother, he felt his body sink again.

He took out the black book and, on a whim, turned to the third page.

The next instant, everything went black, and Chen Hengyi disappeared from the spot with all his gear.

When Chen Hengyi opened his eyes, he found himself in an alley.

The sounds of cars driving by and tires rolling on the road came from all directions, along with the sounds of crowds.

The alley was filled with garbage and a few rusty pieces of iron. There was also a faint smell of urine coming from the corner of the wall, as if someone had urinated there.

Outside the alley is a crowded square.

Chen Hengyi didn't want to smell the urine here, so he quickly walked towards the square, while also checking himself over.

He was wearing a well-fitting black suit, and with a casual touch, he found a wallet in his left breast pocket containing Chen Hengyi's identity documents and other basic identification.

It has everything here, except money!

Fortunately, he took out the Golden Toad Treasure Bag, and as soon as he took it out, he saw the pitiful little golden toad.

The little golden toad looked aggrieved, pointing to its sunken belly. It was clear that it was very hungry and wanted to make money!

When Chen Hengyi opened his wallet, there was only a small pile of Hong Kong dollars inside, along with the ghost money and fortune he had saved up earlier.

Chen Hengyi tapped the little golden toad, causing the little guy to fall flat on its back onto his wallet.

He said softly, "Go make money first, and travel through the heavens. Although money is not the most important thing, you can't do without it."

The little golden toad was initially very angry, but after hearing that Chen Hengyi was going to make money, it smiled happily.

Chen Hengyi walked down the street, looking around at Hong Kong in the 80s. The timeline was 1981. As a window to the outside world, Hong Kong's economy was booming and its various industries were extremely developed, which also created a unique culture.

Chen Hengyi walked among various banks, and using the same method as before, he obtained a large amount of money in a short period of time, even shocking himself with the amount.

When Chen Hengyi stopped, he saw that the wealth inside the wallet had condensed into a golden copper coin.

The copper coin was about half the size of a palm, with a comfortable feel, perfect for tossing. After taking it out, he asked the little golden toad, "Little fellow, is this a treasure-dropping coin?"

Upon hearing this, the little golden toad nodded proudly.

"So how do you use this 'treasure coin'?"

Chen Hengyi knew that 100 strands of wealth energy could condense into a treasure coin, but he did not know how to use it.

He asked the little golden toad, and then the little golden toad took out a coin from its mouth.

The little golden toad was completely focused, and then it performed the discus throwing sport on Chen Hengyi's wallet.

Little Golden Toad: Throw it away!

The coin flew high into the air and landed about two body lengths away from the little golden toad.

Perhaps this little golden toad doesn't exercise often, because it tripped and fell as soon as it was thrown out. But it wasn't angry after falling; it exhaled a wisp of wealth energy, then slapped it away with its two claws.

The little golden toad shrugged: Ha, it's gone!

After a moment of silence, Chen Hengyi understood and asked, "So, all I need to do is throw this thing out, and it will consume my wealth energy, right?"

The little golden toad nodded quickly. Then Chen Hengyi understood, and at this moment, his wallet was already piled up with Hong Kong dollars like a small mountain, and a lot of wealth appeared in the corner.

Chen Hengyi only glanced at it briefly, but he could still sense dozens of strands of wealth.

The speed at which they are making money is simply breaking all historical records.

All I can say is that Hong Kong during its economic boom was a goldmine for him.

But even in bustling Hong Kong, chaos exists, with triads and gangsters running rampant.

Many people die in various accidents, and the money they deposited in banks becomes, in name, ownerless. Although bank accounts allow withdrawals, the money has its own set of rules—in short, it's ownerless!

Unclaimed money belongs to the little golden toad!

Isn't that little golden toad Chen Hengyi's?

He spent less than half a day shopping today and found himself feeling like a billionaire!

Chen Hengyi put everything aside and planned to get down to business.

Not long after walking, Chen Hengyi arrived at a detective agency.

He looked up and saw a very prominent sign: Detective Li, Number One in the World.

"Number One in the Heavenly Class, I hope you truly live up to this title."
