The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 159 Bringing the Demon Infant Back and the Idea of ​​Possessing the Demon Infant's Body with a Little Ghost
The five heads uttered the same words, some with voices as tender as infants, others with voices as rough as adults. When they overlapped, they sounded particularly jarring.

Li Zhen keenly discerned that the voice coming from one of the heads sounded somewhat like the voice of the eyebrowless man he had heard.

A massive aura of malevolence erupted from the vampire, filling the entire room.

The demonic infant, who was initially somewhat afraid of vampires, now showed no fear of them at all.

Its body shuddered, and numerous arms extended from both sides of its body, making it look even more deformed.

With a shriek, the demonic infant pounced on the vampire.

The vampire stretched out its stiff arms toward the demonic infant, but it was a step too slow and the demonic infant pounced on its face.

The roaring vampire zombie retreated repeatedly.

Is the five-in-one demonic infant the strongest form of an evil spirit?
Li Zhen pressed his right hand on the coffin nails and began chanting a spell.

Wisps of yin energy emanated from the demonic statue, merging into the crude portrait that Li Zhen had drawn with the blood of the demonic infant.

Li Zhen slowly pressed down the coffin nails.

The demonic infant let out a scream.

"The Eternal Mother, whose compassionate light shines everywhere... Immortals and gods are commanded to pave the way for salvation..."

The demonic infant opened its five mouths and simultaneously chanted a spell.

Its numerous arms swung rapidly, drawing a talisman on the vampire's face.

A flash of blood streaked across the vampire's face, sending it flying.

The vampire's back slammed heavily against the wall behind it, denting a large section of the wall.

The yin energy surrounding it had just been dispersed when even more yin energy surged out from its body.

The demonic infant did not harm the vampire's core; instead, it made the vampire even more ferocious.

At the same time, the coffin nails under Li Zhen's command suddenly burst open.

The demonic infant, having endured Li Zhen's Soul-Nailing Technique, fell to the ground in a daze.

The demon fetus seized the demon infant before the red-eyed bat could react.

After one of its tentacles broke off, more of its tentacles wrapped around the demonic infant and pulled it in front of Li Zhen.

Li Zhen grabbed the strangely shaped demonic infant with his bleeding right hand.

The evil aura emanating from him coiled around the demonic infant like a terrifying venomous snake.

The evil aura emanating from him indirectly came from the demons, making it extraordinary. However, it couldn't kill the demonic infant in this state; it could only temporarily restrain it.

"I was born to face this calamity! You cannot kill me!"

The ferocious demonic infant opened its mouth and bit into the evil energy that was wrapped around it, as if it had bitten into something tangible, leaving a clear gash in its mouth.

A slight reaction immediately arose in Li Zhen's heart, as if that bite had really landed on its body.

An even more powerful evil energy surged from his body and pierced into the demonic infant's body.

The demonic infant struggled even more violently.

It recited the incantation it had just heard.

The blood-red talisman reappeared on the demon infant's face.

The faint glow of blood repelled Li Zhen's evil aura from the demonic infant's body.

The Five Ghosts Sect's methods are indeed formidable...

However, it's not necessarily true that this demonic infant cannot be killed.

Just as Li Zhen was about to try other spells, he suddenly turned to look at his right hand, looking somewhat surprised.

The runes conveyed to him the message that he could return.

When he captured the Five Demon Infants, the rune did not send him any information.

Li Zhen guessed that it might be because he hadn't killed the Five Demon Infants.

But now it seems that the reason is not that.

After sensing it, Li Zhen understood what was going on.

The reason he was able to go back now is that he has investigated the origin of the demonic infant.

This should correspond to what the mission says: "thoroughly investigate the root cause of the strange occurrences."

This originates from a ritual performed by the Five Ghosts Sect members more than a hundred years ago.

Only after Li Zhen saw the truth was he able to investigate and understand the root of the strangeness.

Now that he has the demonic infant in his grasp, it has lost its harmfulness, thus eradicating the root cause of the strange occurrences.

After he enters the world of "The Seed of the Demon," the mission is to "solve the underlying causes of the strange events," but ultimately he is not required to completely kill the demon fetus.

Now that he could go back, Li Zhen did not try any other methods to deal with the demonic infant.

After bringing items back from the mission world, the runes will erase the memories of any sentient being, making it the best way to control the demonic infant.

Given the mystery of runes, it's impossible that they couldn't even deal with the demonic infant.

The red-eyed bat landed on Li Zhen's shoulder, its eyes fixed on the demonic infant.

All ten eyes on the demon infant's five heads involuntarily turned to look at the red-eyed bat.

The demon infant's ten eyes became blurry, but in just two or three breaths, the demon infant's five heads returned to normal.

This also gave Li Zhen enough time.

After the red-eyed bats caused the demonic infant to lose its senses three times in a row, Li Zhen drew some sealing talismans on the surface of the demonic infant.

The talisman faded quickly as soon as it was drawn on the demonic infant, making it impossible to seal the demonic infant for long.

But that's enough time.

Li Zhen got up and quickly tidied up the room.

After stuffing most of the items into the banshee's back and putting a few items back into the squashed basket on the vampire's back, he led the vampire, the ghost fetus, and the banshee out of the house.

……

The moment the demonic infant underwent a strange change, Qinghai sensed that something was wrong.

He was chanting sutras for the little fish when he suddenly looked up at the room where Li Zhen was.

The resentment, many times stronger than before, terrified him.

He picked up his magic sword and rushed toward the house.

The little devil holding the cat suddenly appeared at the doorway, blocking Qinghai's way.

Qinghai said urgently, "Something has happened inside. Those five demonic infants are not simple... Didn't you sense it?"

The little devil ignored him.

Qinghai took a few steps forward, but seeing that the little devil wouldn't move aside, he said helplessly, "I'm going in to help your master! Can't you let me in to take a look? I won't hurt your master!"

The little devil tilted his head to one side, stretched out his finger, and pretended to pick his ear.

Qinghai tried to get around the little devil, but the little devil blocked his way.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from inside.

Qinghai turned his head and saw an exaggerated bulge protruding outwards from the wall.

"See? Didn't your master suffer a loss?"

Qinghai said to the little devil.

The little devil still ignored him.

Qinghai paced anxiously in front of the door.

At this moment, Huang Bin, who had gone to retrieve the golden Buddha for Li Zhen, ran back nervously.

Mahjong Ghost followed closely behind him.

Even though the golden Buddha was covered by clothes, the Mahjong Ghost was still somewhat wary, so he kept a little distance from Huang Bin.

Upon seeing what Huang Bin was carrying, Qinghai recognized it as a golden Buddha, and was immediately overjoyed.

With this, dealing with the demonic infant will be much easier!
Qinghai ran towards Huang Bin, but was blocked by the Mahjong Ghost. He was speechless and said, "You brought the golden Buddha to fight evil spirits? Then give it to me! Only I know how to use this thing."

The Mahjong Ghost remained unmoved.

Qinghai stepped forward.

A terrifying aura emanated from the Mahjong Ghost.

Speechless, Qinghai retreated to the door and said to the Mahjong Ghost and the little ghost, "Why are you so stupid? If something happens to your master, what good will it do you?"

Huang Bin asked curiously, "Master, what happened inside?"

Qinghai said solemnly, "I don't know what happened. I only felt a strong resentment, as if the demonic infant had undergone some kind of change, which made me feel very dangerous."

Hearing this, Huang Bin breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't the mage inside control the demonic infant? Even if something changes, it should be fine."

Qinghai shook his head: "You don't understand."

Hearing the demonic infant's strange cries, he turned to look at the door, his expression becoming even more solemn.

To his surprise, the room soon returned to calm.

Soon, he saw Li Zhen push the door open from the inside.

As his gaze swept over Li Zhen's pale face, past the trembling, blood-sucking zombie that seemed ready to devour anyone at any moment, Qinghai spotted the strange demonic infant with five heads that Li Zhen was holding in his hand, and his expression changed slightly.

“This is…” Li Zhen walked towards Huang Bin.

"The golden Buddha is here." Huang Bin quickly handed the golden Buddha in his hand to Li Zhen.

After obtaining the golden Buddha, Li Zhen instructed Huang Bin: "After I leave, you won't be able to swallow the Xu family whole, but you'll have at least one night to take things from them. You can take as many valuable items as possible."

“I got this golden Buddha from a pawnshop. Go and see how much it was pawned for, and return the money to the pawnshop for me.”

Huang Bin's eyes widened as he asked, "Master, you...you're leaving?"

Upon seeing Li Zhen emerge, Chu Liu knelt beside him, clutching Xiao Yu, and pleaded, "Master, Xiao Yu keeps saying she's not feeling well. Please, Master, help Xiao Yu!"

Li Zhen looked at the little fish and pressed it a few times on its trembling body.

Qinghai's judgment was correct.

The spell he set was too violent; the little fish couldn't withstand such a powerful spell.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zhen wiped the talisman off Xiaoyu's face and then casually drew a few more strokes on it.

"Thank you so much, Venerable Master..."

The little fish recovered considerably immediately; at least its body stopped shaking.

"No need to thank me, I can't help you much," Li Zhen told Chu Liu. "If no measures are taken, she will die in half a day."

"Remember my words, find the chicken blood, human bones, and the red rope..."

Upon hearing this, Qinghai, who had been hesitant to speak, immediately realized that what Li Zhen was referring to was the method of raising ghosts.

After briefly explaining the methods of raising a ghost and the precautions to take, Detective Li warned, "I must tell you, she is now a ghost, not a human. You need to know what it means to keep her by your side."

“I will be leaving soon. If you encounter any problems, you can ask Master Qinghai for help.”

Without consulting Qinghai at all, he dumped all the subsequent troubles on Qinghai.

Chu Liu and Xiao Yu hadn't had time to think about their situation or what impact their existence would have on each other.

Once they find out, they will naturally make their own choice.

After giving his instructions, Li Zhen walked towards the door.

Having finally gotten his chance, Qinghai said, "The evil spirit has undergone a very strange change; its resentment is so strong that it surprises me."

"Your seal won't hold the evil spirit for long. If you can't deal with it, you can try using the golden Buddha."

"Five demons commit evil deeds for a hundred years, Buddha for ten thousand years. To obtain the talisman, the raging fire reveals the golden body. You only need to melt the golden Buddha and turn it into a talisman to see if you can destroy the evil spirits."

He took out a Buddhist scripture and tossed it to Li Zhen.

"The talisman is on the last page. If you have no other choice, melt down the golden Buddha and try to draw that talisman."

Li Zhen glanced at it and saw that what he had taken in his hand was a copy of the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra.

He nodded to Qinghai.

Qinghai hesitated before saying, "I see that your appearance has changed; it looks much dimmer than before. This is a sign that a great calamity is coming."

Li Zhen frowned.

He is now very sensitive to the word "robbery".

“I don’t know if it’s related to evil spirits, but after seeing you, I had a bad feeling.” Qinghai took out a thick piece of paper that looked like parchment from his pocket. “If there’s any left over after the golden Buddha melts down, you can use it to draw this talisman and try it out.”

"The golden Buddha contains the vows of countless monks in the temple, making it a divine object. This talisman can change your fate and may be of some benefit to your tribulations."

Li Zhen, catching the thick sheet of paper, asked, "Why are you helping me?"

Qinghai replied matter-of-factly, "Didn't you help them too? You seem like a decent person, so I'll lend a hand if I can."

"Stop arguing and just go do what you're supposed to do. I only have one request: you can't let any more evil spirits out to harm people."

Li Zhen nodded and disappeared from the spot without warning.

The vampires that had been following him also vanished from their original spot.

Qinghai was taken aback.

He walked to the spot where Li Zhen had just been standing, reached out and touched it, but found nothing.

How could a perfectly healthy person just vanish right before his eyes?

He wondered if he was hallucinating, subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and then turned to look at Huang Bin: "What did you just see? How did he leave?"

"He just... just disappeared like that." Huang Bin blinked and spun around in place.

Qinghai ran outside, but didn't see Li Zhen.

Not only Li Zhen, but even the auras of the evil creatures following him vanished without a trace, as if everything he had just seen was an illusion.

"I didn't see wrong..."

Qinghai returned to the place where Li Zhen disappeared, looked around for a moment, and then looked up at the sky.

"Is it some kind of magic? Why can't I see any trace of it? Where did you find such a mysterious person?"

The following question was directed at Huang Bin.

Scratching his head, Huang Bin said, "I didn't invite him; I just ran into him on the street yesterday."

“Right on that street, the monk asked me as soon as he saw me if I had encountered anything strange. I said no. Then the monk found Chu Liu and asked Chu Liu to find me and tell us about evil spirits.”

Qinghai asked, "What did he say at the time?"

Huang Bin recounted the events of that time, concluding with, "That monk asked me to retrieve some money for the pawnshop..."

Qinghai, lost in thought, waved his hand and said, "This is the right path. Go and do it."

……

Everything before my eyes was distorted into nothingness.

Lines of golden words appeared in front of Li Zhen.

[In just one day and one night, you uncovered the truth behind the strange occurrences, completely eradicated their root cause, saved Huang Bin's life, changed the fate of Huang Bin and others, and freed Huang Bin from the terror of the supernatural.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a golden Buddha statue from the world of "The Demon Eater's Fetus". This golden Buddha has been enshrined in a temple for hundreds of years and contains the spiritual power of countless Tibetan Buddhist monks. It is one of the sacred objects of the Tibetan Buddhist monks. After being melted, its power to suppress resentment and evil spirits is extraordinary. It can be used to suppress evil spirits, or for other purposes.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained five demonic infants from the world of "The Devouring Ghosts." These demonic infants are reincarnations of evil spirits created by the Five Ghosts Sect of the White Lotus Cult. If they can be nourished with blood, their potential is limitless. The Five Ghosts Sect created these evil spirits using secret methods, and they were born from the womb a hundred years later, containing the memories and some of the rationality of the members of the Five Ghosts Sect. To bring them back to this world, all their memories must be erased. Bring them back to this world? Yes/No (Note: Do not harm the demonic infants' minds)]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a copy of the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra. This sutra was held and recited by a Tantric master for many years, and over time, it developed a trace of spirituality. The sutra contains a talisman passed down from the Gelug school of Tantric Buddhism, which can be used to destroy evil spirits.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained an unnamed parchment containing a secret incantation passed down from the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, which may influence your destiny.]

After a cursory glance at the handwriting, Li Zhen was somewhat surprised.

The fact that the golden Buddha was placed before the five demonic infants indicates that it was indeed a more important treasure than the demonic infants.

Li Zhen looked up again at the explanation of the parchment and the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, and his goodwill towards Qinghai increased greatly.

What Qinghai gave him were not ordinary things...

Looking upwards, Li Zhen saw the explanation given by the five demonic infants.

It doesn't say whether the Demon Infant is connected to the Eternal Mother of the White Lotus Sect, but it uses the phrase "limitless potential" to describe the Demon Infant, leaving much to ponder.

Li Zhen had never seen this evaluation on other evil objects.

I wonder what will happen to the demon infant after its memories are erased?

Seeing the "yes" and "no" options, I silently said "yes".

The void twisted again, and the familiar ceiling appeared before Li Zhen's eyes.

Li Zhen knew he was back in the coffin.

Several thuds came from beside the coffin; it must have been something behind the vampire and the banshee falling to the ground.

It's highly likely that something behind the vampire fell down, because the basket on its back was somewhat damaged.

Wisps of yin energy flowed into Li Zhen's body from the dark wood beneath his head, making him feel extremely comfortable.

He didn't sit up, but instead raised his hand and looked at the demonic infant he was holding.

At this moment, the demonic infant's aura was still extremely fierce, but it had completely lost its rationality and appeared completely dazed. The fierce aura emanating from its body was a completely natural one.

The demonic infant in this state did not attempt to break free from Li Zhen's seal, greatly reducing its danger.

Li Zhen couldn't help but marvel at the power of the runes once again.

Regarding the bizarre demonic infant related to the White Lotus Sect, its memories were erased without a sound...

Li Zhen might be able to find a way to kill the demonic infant, but he definitely couldn't erase the demonic infant's memories.

Unlike the little devil, the demon infant lost much of its rationality after its memories were erased, while the little devil's rationality remained unaffected.

This shouldn't be a problem with the runes, but rather related to the characteristics of the demonic infant itself.

The demonic infant's rationality is built upon those memories, so once those memories are gone, its rationality is completely lost.

That might be the case.

It's also possible that the demonic infant itself is pretending to be in this confused state, while actually still retaining some rationality.

Li Zhen did not underestimate the demonic infant in this form.

Looking at the demonic infant, Li Zhen suddenly had a bold idea.

Since the demon infant has lost all its memories, could we let the little devil take over one of the demon infant's bodies?

The kid is very obedient, but his potential and strength are not strong.

If the imp could occupy one of the bodies, it would naturally make up for the imp's shortcomings and make the imp a true butler...
